>> hello, it's a cloudy and damp start for many of us this morning, but there is some sunshine on the way this afternoon. join me later for the full forecast with all the details as . details as. >> a very good morning to you. and we start with election fever. not just here in the uk but across the continent as well. yeah >> the prime minister is yet to face the media scrapping all interviews over the weekend in the aftermath of the d—day debacle disaster, leaving others, including party chairman richard holden, to answer questions including this car crash interview. >> how would you how do you answer the charge? it just looks like an appalling stitch up, and you are part of a self—serving elite . elite. >> this interview is about emily thornberry's comments today , and thornberry's comments today, and she admitted that it's going to be our children across the country who pay the price for

labour's decision . labour's decision. >> when i come back to the question, it looks like a stitch up. chairman of the party. short list of one. just before nominations close. how is that not a appalling stitch up and anti—democratic? >> emily thornberry today has a completely admitted so you can't justify the way you have been parachuted into basildon and billericay . billericay. >> you're not denying it's a stitch up and it's anti—democratic . anti—democratic. >> emily thornberry today has admitted. >> stop you now . this is >> stop you now. this is ridiculous. this is ridiculous. you said in an interview earlier this year you were bloody loyal to the northeast. what happened to the northeast. what happened to that? >> john? i've already answered these questions. >> no, you haven't , but >> no, you haven't, but nonetheless, today the conservatives have promised a new £650 billion policing plan , new £650 billion policing plan, which would put 8000 new officers on the street . officers on the street. >> while labour today are promising to save parents £400 a year as they commit to

delivering free breakfast clubs in primary schools and a big day for the liberal democrats, as ed davey is set to launch his party's manifesto later on this morning. >> the first of the major parties to do so well . parties to do so well. throughout the election campaign. we're going to be heanng campaign. we're going to be hearing from people across the united kingdom about what really matters to you and today we met with marie carmen from leamington spa . leamington spa. >> my name is marie carmen. i'm 32 and i'm from leamington spa. i'm a health and fitness coach for moms and i used to be a nurse at the birmingham children's hospital, so i know the government have announced the government have announced the fact that they're going to increase child care hours for children younger. and actually, i think my son, who's now one qualifies for that in september. so i really hope that continues. also, more support around enterprise. you know , i'm enterprise. you know, i'm currently raising investment for my business and the way the economy is at the moment, the climate, it's quite hard. i know there are things around ipsis eyes, but i think if businesses could have more support to grow, you know, financially that would be that would be really helpful.

i've got three small children, two at school, one at nursery, you know, cost of living is huge, like our food bill, if i'm lucky to get it under £100 a week, you know, and i cook from scratch, i'd be, you know, i'm lucky. so i think more help, you know, with day to day things, you know, when is actually food pnces you know, when is actually food prices going to come down. i know speaking to a lot of my clients, they find the same, you know, just day to day things. if you want to take your children on activities, you want to go on holiday, just everything feels really inaccessible at the moment. when i was nursing, i used to vote labour. you know, they have always been the party for the nhs, for, you know, teachers and stuff. so i hope that, you know, i hope that is the case. if conservative can demonstrate more for, you know, enterprise and those key things that i've just spoke about potentially them , but if i'm potentially them, but if i'm being completely honest with you, i'm not a massive fan of keir starmer. so, i don't know . keir starmer. so, i don't know. >> well, really good to hear from mary there. we're going to be hearing from voices of real people throughout the election campaign here on gb news. but

there's lots to get through, isn't there? so let's discuss all of the above with deputy editor at the spectator, freddie grey. good to see you this morning, freddie. where do we begin? should we start with richard holden? that bizarre clip there where he refused to answer questions about being parachuted into that safe seat. any questions about rishi sunak as well? and then the prime minister's been in hiding this weekend. it appears well, emily thornberry has been. >> i can't go through with it. very good. it was terrible, wasn't it? another terrible , wasn't it? another terrible, tory moment in this election campaign. it just goes from bad to worse. i think, you know, rishi sunak and the conservatives think that they can get on the front foot a little bit today with, crime , little bit today with, crime, 8000 more police bobbies on the beat , they think this is a good beat, they think this is a good idea because it can tap into something they feel they've already achieved on, which is getting 20,000 bobbies back on the beat, i'm not sure it's going to work, because what everyone's talking about is still rishi sunak being missing over the weekend, the d—day

debacle will carry on. it is going to go down as one of the great gaffes in political history, it's not good. and the fact that there's rumours flying around this weekend that rishi sunak might quit, i don't think those are true. but the very fact that those rumours are flying around shows you the sort of state that the tory party is in at this very crucial moment in at this very crucial moment in an election campaign. what about the labour party then? >> because yesterday, emily thornberry, because they keep talking about the 6500 new teachers that they're going to do, so they can get the 20% vat on schools. but now they're talking about spending this on breakfast clubs. so the labour party themselves don't sound very united in the excess of that that they expect to receive from these schools. it sounds like they're spending it on anything. no >> i mean, it's a great shame that the conservative party are in a better position to attack these labour plans because they don't add up on a lot of things on childcare. it sounds like they are all over the place at they are all over the place at the moment, but the problem for the moment, but the problem for the tories again , is that the the tories again, is that the labour friendly press will give them the nursery places headline. that's the headline

they want to get out . it's not they want to get out. it's not a bad one, i think as far as voter concerns are voter concerns go , concerns are voter concerns go, crime is more important. so perhaps the tories are on a would be in an advantage this morning in a normal election cycle. but this isn't a normal election cycle because the tories are struggling so badly. >> there are questions, though, about labour's funding plans , about labour's funding plans, aren't there? i mean, at the snp challenging sir keir starmer over the weekend, saying that they need to be straight with they need to be straight with the public and explain that labour are going to axe some pubuc labour are going to axe some public services. keir starmer says well, he didn't refuse to rule that out actually. >> well, i mean as electorally speaking, they don't need to be straight with the public and that's why they're not being straight with the public, because they can say pretty much one thing or another thing, and it doesn't matter because they're leading the polls is so big. and this is a real problem. you know, we saw it last week with andrew rhiannon on trident saying, i don't support the policy that i support was effectively her line, and yet nobody picks them up on it because they are in this hugely

advantageous position electorally. >> what do you think we're going to see from the manifestos this week? we're expecting to see the lib dems out today, tories out tomorrow. labour's will be out on thursday. what do you predict will we'll see from them . will we'll see from them. >> i think the lib dems are picking up a bit of traction. i think they are, having a better election campaign than people a lot of people acknowledged, despite some ridiculous. >> do you think it's been a bit silly? >> yes , a little bit silly. but >> yes, a little bit silly. but i think the davey video was probably the most successful, successful social media stunt of the campaign so far. his one talking about his family and how much he suffered as a as a man, i think the tory manifesto is a chance for them to perhaps get on the on the front foot again, because they think that labour will, if labour mess it up, if labour have as bad a manifesto as they've had in previous election cycles, the tories can get on the front foot , but the get on the front foot, but the way things are going, would you bet against a major mess up in the tory manifesto this week?

>> what about reform? because i keep reading on social media there are more and more people joining reform constantly. every single day. nigel farage was posting and people were saying 40,000 people so far every three seconds. how many people are joining reform? is there any chance that reform could actually become the opposition? >> i think there is a chance , >> i think there is a chance, yes. and i think if you look at what happened in europe last night with these all these right wing parties doing so well and insurgent, anti—establishment, right wing parties doing so well , it's not everybody thinks that sort of britain is going to be the outlier, because we're about to probably vote for a labour government , when the rest of government, when the rest of europe seems to be going right. but actually, i'm not sure we are, i mean, if reform overtake the conservative parties in this general election, which could well happen on current trends is happening, you're going to see, the same story playing out in britain that is playing out, in europe, which is a kind of establishment centre, just about clinging on while a right wing party, an insurgent right wing

party, an insurgent right wing party, does better and better and better and becomes the mainstream. and we have to think, i think we have to think about whether we call these parties far right anymore. there's a big debate to be had about that because by any standards, they're mainstream now. so are we calling them far right because we have some objective idea about immigration policies? or are we calling them far right because it becomes a sort of lazy journalistic way of attacking them. and i think it's probably more the latter. and that's probably going to have to change. >> what do you make of suella braverman talking today in the times, saying that it's time for the tories to embrace nigel farage, she said it's time to unite the right. and she says there's not much difference between farage's policies and those of the tories. >> i think she's right, but i think calling calling for the tories to embrace farage during the election cycle is an odd thing for her to do, but i think the right will probably have to unite, particularly if the conservative party are kind of face this extinction level event. and what labour want is a

split, right, and labour will win for a decade to come if we have a split. right. i think that the tory party over history has always adapted . so i think has always adapted. so i think it will adapt and it will probably learn to kind of remodel itself around, around sort of not necessarily nigel farage, but around reformist policies and particularly on immigration, actually doing something, not just creating hundreds of headlines every week that do nothing. >> i wanted to ask you about macron. macron because he's called a snap election after surge of the far right , called a snap election after surge of the far right, is this, you know, from your knowledge of the french political system, is this a wise move for him? a lot of people are saying that this is madness. >> it's extremely bold move . and >> it's extremely bold move. and macron i'm no fan of macron, but he is, very, very dynamic politician. he's always doing something. he's quick to do it. so it was quite impressive to do it that quickly. i think to make that decision. i think it's going to be well. i think his plan is probably to get le pen

into the fold, and i think he was hoping it's not going to happen, i don't think, but i think he's hoping to make le pen prime minister when they trounce him in the elections and then effectively asphyxiate her within government. so she'll show these are the people in government now. and look, they're not doing anything. they're making everything worse. everything's about by the time you get to the next presidential election cycle, some people in france think that he's going to go for a he's going to try and get a referendum for a mandate for a third term, which is quite likely if you can see how egomaniac emmanuel macron has been over the years. but i think that what's probably going to happenis that what's probably going to happen is this guy, jordan bardella, the sort of new emergent figure in le pen's national rally party. he will probably go into government assuming that national rally win very big, which it looks like they will. judging on last night's election results, they could win spectacularly . but so could win spectacularly. but so i think jordan bardella is young, more dynamic figure in the national rally, more dynamic than le pen, you could say. i think he will probably go into government and i think it will be could end up sort of paralysing macron's presidency.

it's a huge gamble, a huge gamble. yeah. and, probably one he'll lose. >> okay. >> okay. >> freddie grey, thank you very much. good to see you this morning . now, we've been talking morning. now, we've been talking about this this morning, haven't we. just before we came on air. just such sad news. obviously, tributes flowing for in the tv doctor, michael mosley, whose body was found yesterday on the greek island of symi after going missing on wednesday . missing on wednesday. >> and now his wife, doctor claire bailey mosley, paid tribute to her wonderful husband, who said that they had been incredibly lucky. they've had a wonderful life together. while colleagues and friends have described him as immediately likeable, genuinely funny . funny. >> well, joining us now is the travel editor at the independent, simon calder. it's just the most desperately sad story, isn't it? simon >> oh, it certainly is. and my heart goes out to, doctor claire bailey, mosley and her family and their friends, of course, just really , really sad to lose just really, really sad to lose such a great man. and i think that's the main thing about these tributes to michael

mosley. everybody has been saying what great work he did, yes. as a broadcaster he was extremely talented. but also what he was doing was just teaching us about our bodies, teaching us about our bodies, teaching us about the wider world. and i think there will be a lot of people watching now who are. yes, they did take one step towards making their their lives healthier . and it was all thanks healthier. and it was all thanks to the, unique way in which michael mosley, helped us understand things, not least because, of course, he experimented on his own body in order to demonstrate the points that he wanted to make. so a great communicator and absolutely tragic that he has been lost to his family and to the wider world at, such a young age. he had so much more to give i >> -- >> he really is so sad. and i mean, it does highlight the

dangers. if you are somewhere unfamiliar of the things that you must make sure that you have with you. because i was so upset, listening, thinking, i wish that he'd taken a mobile phone, i was thinking, oh, well, you know, this . you know, his you know, this. you know, his wife must be devastated . if you wife must be devastated. if you are somewhere unfamiliar, what are somewhere unfamiliar, what are the main things that you need to make sure? especially in that kind of heat, that you take with you. >> well, can i just say that i am absolutely, in tune with how he was feeling and the decision that he made. it might be seen as irresponsible . and of course, as irresponsible. and of course, with hindsight, we can all look back and say, yes , of course, he back and say, yes, of course, he should have had his phone with him, yes . he should have had his phone with him, yes. he should have made sure he had plenty of water, and ideally he should have been, hiking with somebody else since he was, as his wife says, taking a really challenging hike. however, he was the sort of person who was very, very good at understanding risks, at

knowing the issues that he could possibly face. and i can just see that he it's a beautiful day. yes, it's hot, but he's confident in his own abilities because he's shown time and time again that , he's a great again that, he's a great survivor. so i can see that he would set off like this. i think all of us, looking at the terrain that there is , the terrain that there is, the extreme heat which currently is affecting simi and other parts of the eastern mediterranean. you would i think now think again and consider. am i properly equipped. have i got, all i need in case there's a fall or or i feel weak or whatever, but ultimately , it's whatever, but ultimately, it's a beautiful island, it's a it was a fine day, he felt that he wasn't too far from , he wasn't wasn't too far from, he wasn't far from safety. it was just. i'm so sorry to say. misadventure. something went

tragically wrong, and it has ended with the loss of a great husband, a great father , and a husband, a great father, and a great communicator who helped us all, improve our health. >> and those tributes are pounng >> and those tributes are pouring in this morning, simon. he just seemed to be adored not only as a as a doctor, as a professional, but as a as a person, as well, a very highly regarded. there are questions on many of the papers, and he really is on every front page of the papers. this morning. but questions being asked about what why it took so to long find him, why it took so to long find him, why was it a five day search operation and we know that it was a very intense one. what can you tell us about the terrain on the island that might have made that quite complicated for people searching for michael ? people searching for michael? >> those of us who've been lucky enough to go to these , greek enough to go to these, greek islands, the really quite extreme east ones, close to the turkish, main land, will know that they are characterised by being very hilly, very rocky.

there's some very rough scrub there. it is a difficult area to search. yes. we knew, roughly where he was heading, but ultimately . and i've done this. ultimately. and i've done this. my ultimately. and i've done this. my goodness. and i yeah, i, i genuinely thought there but for fortune go i, i've been in the position of having been making a decision about, walking in the hills. i do quite a lot of walking and climbing and on my own i can see that i could quite possibly do the same. and very, very sadly , it well, we now know very sadly, it well, we now know the result after, of course, days of hoping that there would be some other, explanation for it, but it's a wide and difficult area. yes, they were bringing in drones to help with the search, but ultimately we, if somebody goes missing and they don't, you've got no way of tracking him. apart from really

quite, some, cctv footage, which doesn't really tell you very much , then i'm afraid it is just much, then i'm afraid it is just a matter of keeping looking until, well, the terrible, moment yesterday when his his body was found. so, so, so sad. and my, i hope is that the, family of doctor michael mosley will take comfort from the fact that he was in a wonderful location and that he was with the people he loved, and like many people over the years, he was just unlucky . many people over the years, he was just unlucky. he. >> yeah. simon calder, thank you very much indeed . very much indeed. >> right. let's have a look at some of the other stories coming into the newsroom. >> and a woman in her 40s remains in hospital with life threatening injuries after a ride malfunctioned at a funfair in south london on saturday. the lambeth country show in brockwell park has reopened, but some rides remain cordoned off.

an investigation is underway, led by the metropolitan police . led by the metropolitan police. >> well, israeli war cabinet minister benny gantz has resigned from benjamin netanyahu's government . last netanyahu's government. last month, mr gantz set a deadline of the 8th of june for mr netanyahu to lay out how israel would achieve its six strategic goals, including the end of hamas rule in gaza . mr netanyahu hamas rule in gaza. mr netanyahu responded to the resignation on twitter, saying this is not the time to quit the campaign. this is the time to join forces. >> former scotland and liverpool defender alan hansen is seriously ill in hospital. the club is providing support to the family of the 68 year old, who retired in 1991 to start a successful career as a television pundit. in a statement, liverpool fc said its thoughts are with their legendary former captain and they've requested that the family's privacy be respected and political parties have been urged to prioritise potholes in their manifesto commitments .

their manifesto commitments. >> a campaign group named the pothole partnership has called for a limit on temporary road repairs and for funding to tackle potholes to be accelerated and increased. the group warns that damage to vehicles caused by poor roads is at a five year high, which is costing the economy £14.4 billion per year. >> so sad about doctor mosley. >> so sad about doctor mosley. >> i know it's so tragic as well. >> it really is such a brilliant person , you know. person, you know. >> yeah, and that's exactly what you're reflecting on the views today. gbnews.com/yoursay, i've got one here from anton who said sad news about doctor mosley . sad news about doctor mosley. i've never actually heard of him, but i know from the tributes that he was extremely popular, and i've been struck by that as well. i think everybody across the board says nothing but wonderful things to say about him, sasha says it's so sad to lose the lovely doctor, michael mosley in tribute. i think i'm going to have a go at his advice and start the fast

800, which is one of his diet plans. i'll really miss just one thing. he is so clever at communicating. >> oh, this is one from josephine. oh, it's gone now . josephine. oh, it's gone now. lovely to see nana and she should be a permanent breakfast presenter. oh, i don't think so. >> there you go. it's very early. >> it's very early for me. i've got to be honest with you, who else have we got, yes. again, lots of people. those tributes are still coming in as well. interesting story about potholes though. have you noticed? i have noficed though. have you noticed? i have noticed that there are more and more potholes. i actually blame it on electric cars. do you? because they're so heavy. oh i haven't got one. i can't do electric cars. have you got an electric cars. have you got an electric car? >> i don't have an electric car. my >> i don't have an electric car. my mum does. and it's not great because it doesn't really have very good range. you can't get very good range. you can't get very far in an electric car. it's fine if you're doing local nipping to the shops and back, but you can't do long journeys in them. i was in france last week. not a pothole in sight really. >> it was lovely. >> it was lovely. >> really. did they have a lot of electric cars in france? >> i don't know, interesting. i

have to go back and find out for you. >> but no, no potholes. it was nice actually. i just have a little bit of a break when you're driving along. >> yeah, exactly. >> yeah, exactly. >> do keep those views coming in. gbnews.com/yoursay. >> right. >> right. >> let's get your weather update with ellie glaisyer. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> good morning. welcome to your latest gb news weather from the met office. it's a bit of a cloudy start for many of us this morning, and a damp start too, although there are some drier and brighter interludes on the way. the area of rain that we've seen sinking its way south and eastwards overnight eventually clears its way towards the southeast, but could lead to some travel disruption during the morning rush hour across eastern parts of england. it's closely followed behind by plenty of heavy and blustery showers, these perhaps turning to some longer spells of rain across parts of scotland. parts of wales and southwest england. seeing the best of the sunshine this afternoon. but temperatures here only around 18 or 19 degrees and struggling to reach

much more than the low to mid teens further north as we go through the rest of monday there, we're still going to be plenty of showers around through the latter half of the afternoon, but parts of southwestern england and wales generally staying that little, little bit drier and brighter. so some late sunshine here, heavy showers still across northern parts of england, and maybe 1 or 2 across northern ireland too, but generally staying a little bit cloudier for parts of scotland. and those showers do continue to push in from the north, pushing their way southwards into monday evening and into the start of tuesday. so those showers do continue for a time through monday evening, but they will gradually start to ease overnight , so generally turning overnight, so generally turning dner overnight, so generally turning drier for most of us as we go into the start of tuesday. as it's turning drier, there will be plenty of clear spells around and that will lead to temperatures dropping a little lower than we saw on the previous night, particularly across the southern half of the uk, where we could see some rural frost in places, particularly in those rural areas, with temperatures dropping down into the low single figures . that does mean single figures. that does mean that tuesday starts a bit of a

dner that tuesday starts a bit of a drier and brighter day for many of us. still, 1 or 2 showers around, particularly across parts of scotland and along some eastern coasts. as we head towards the afternoon and some cloud bubbling up as well. so perhaps a bit of a cloudier end to the day. the showers across eastern parts of england, perhaps not quite as heavy as on monday, but temperatures still a little below average for the time of year. only the mid to high teens further south and still in those low double figures further north that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on . gb news. sponsors of weather on. gb news. >> now it's time for the great british giveaway and your chance to make this summer really special. with over £16,000 worth of prizes to won , be that's of prizes to won, be that's £15,000 in cash and then a whole host of treats. but of course you do have to be in it to win it. so here's all the details that you need. >> it's our summer spell for three top prizes that have to won . be there's cash £15,000 in won. be there's cash £15,000 in tax free cash to spend on

ellie. good morning. it's just gone 6:30. i'm nana akua . this is 6:30. i'm nana akua. this is ellie costello. it's time to go through all the latest sports news with broadcaster paul coyte. right, paul? so what should we start with? should we start with manchester united? should we do that? >> start a bit of manchester united. yes thomas tuchel so thomas tuchel , who was the thomas tuchel, who was the manager of chelsea and was the manager of chelsea and was the manager of chelsea and was the manager of bayern munich and has left bayern munich. so there's all these names that have been unked all these names that have been linked to the job at manchester united, which is still, by the way, there is no job there officially at the moment because erik ten hag is still there. but the rumours that have been going around for months and months is that he's going to get the elbow and you're going to think, well, he's still in a job, so this is the for job manager. >> yeah, this is the job for manager. >> and but he's still in the job as we speak. but if i was him

i'd be like well what's going on. because apparently sirjim ratcliffe, who's the owner of ineos and now has the major stake in manchester erg when it comes to running the football side, he's the man that's in charge of all football at manchester united. so he's been meeting apparently other managers and representatives of managers and representatives of managers to replace erik ten hag, who currently is still the manager. do you follow me, not really. i lost you a long time ago . okay? i lost you at the beginning. >> what was that when i said hello? yeah. so anyway, i lost you at. >> hello. >> hello. >> let's tell you about harry kane. harry kane? now the euros begin. you are familiar with the euros? they're nana, aren't you? you know what that's all about? >> ,1. for how many pounds? well, close enough. >> so the euros then gets underway on friday. scotland starts it off against germany. it's been played in germany, and england will be there. of course , but on friday, just a disastrous . it was awful that disastrous. it was awful that england lost one nil at wembley to iceland. >> quite poor wasn't it? >> quite poor wasn't it? >> it was. it was pretty poor. but the thing is, harry kane has said it's just a it's a wake up

call before the euros, which i could sit here and go . it's could sit here and go. it's a disgrace. i actually believe that. i think it's probably okay. >> i think you think that's a wake up call? yeah i think it's a bit embarrassing. i didn't think iceland were very good. you know, when you hear they lose against sort of brazil or some of those, those sort of teams, that's that's okay. but iceland, how good are iceland? >> they're not very good. in fact they're pretty poor. but no they're okay. but the thing is you don't want to be losing to iceland. but what i want to say is that before any major tournament and even at the start of tournament, it's all about momentum. so once they get going and get moving along, then things will be fine. so a friendly before a championship doesn't matter. so it's nothing really to worry about. so for example, france drew nil nil with canada. and you would expect that france were going to win that italy beat bosnia one nil. so that's nothing impressive . portugal, who are impressive. portugal, who are also the favourites along with england team. yeah, they lost one nil to croatia. croatia are a good side but croatia are good. but all i'm saying is that

pre—tornal isn't. it doesn't really matter. so everybody's getting their knickers in a twist. there's nothing really to worry about, and england are still favourites, aren't they? >> or one of the favourites? yeah. >> without doubt. without this really. i think they think after that people are a little bit worried. and also the fact that jack grealish has been left out and. but england are favourites. >> well why did he leave out jack grealish? >> because he hasn't played as well for manchester city as he has done in the past. he hasn't started as many games and there's some, but the thing is he played in a friendly and looked very good, but it's just southgate's choice. doesn't think that he's going to be right for england. i'm surprised , but there you go. so anyway, so we get underway. it's friday night is when the euros begin and then england will play first on sunday. >> right. what's exciting . >> right. what's exciting. >> right. what's exciting. >> should we look at the canadian grand prix. >> yeah a little word about the canadian grand prix. mixed weather conditions. it was very wet . it was very wet. then it wet. it was very wet. then it was dry and then it was wet. and so then it affects pit stops and then it affects tyres and also

it had been stopped a few times. so max verstappen, the dutchman won again. so anyway what's tough though lando norris for mclaren was second. he wasn't helped by by the safety car actually look at the rain there. i mean , you don't want to be i mean, you don't want to be driving at 200 miles an hour in that, do you? really? oh george russell was. >> i think it would be fun in one of those cars. well i don't think so. >> i think it's actually that's that's not rain, by the way. that's champagne or the wet around there, lewis hamilton came fourth best finish of the season for him. he said he's worst ever drive do you know you don't hear much from lewis hamilton these days. >> he was everyone was talking about him. is he still doing well? well he's he's not doing as well as he could. >> not doing as well as he can or has done. but no mercedes. it's about the cars. but he moves to ferrari next year. okay. so it's expected that things are going to start going like that again. but he's still there. he's still a good driver, just not getting the results. but because of red bull who dominate at the moment. so it's all about the cars a little bit about the french open. >> yeah. tennis.

>> yeah. tennis. >> carlos alcaraz, beat alexander zverev still , who's alexander zverev still, who's actually still never, never won actually still never, never won a major alexander zverev. no he is one. but the thing is alcaraz is one. but the thing is alcaraz is 21 years old. he's only the seventh person to win on all three surfaces. so you've got your hardcourt surface, which overin your hardcourt surface, which over in the states and australia, grass court in wimbledon and then clay court, which is in france. so there's six other. is this worth me having a go at six other great tennis players? only six others who have actually won titles on all three is bjorn borg. >> one of them, bjorn borg , gave >> one of them, bjorn borg, gave him the trophy yesterday and has won the french open six times, but he's not one of them. >> okay, think around, borg time. >> okay, okay, american. >> okay, okay, american. >> jemmy connors. >> jemmy connors. >> jemmy connors is one, okay, let me see. >> novak djokovic two. >> novak djokovic two. >> mcenroe. >> mcenroe. >> no. nadal. >> no. nadal. >> yes , who else have we got? >> yes, who else have we got? >> yes, who else have we got? >> federer . >> federer.

>> federer. >> federer? >> federer? >> batus force. of course. >> batus force. of course. >> this is going very well. we've got three to get. >> 3033. >> 3033. >> oh, no, it's only two to get two. >> so we've got, famous boris becker. boris becker closer in the right era. american. >> oh, andre agassi. agassi. >> oh, andre agassi. agassi. >> one more and i'm going to give you that one. a famous other swede played just after borg. if you get this, i'll be very impressed. >> god nana. >> god nana. >> what does it begin with? >> what does it begin with? >> mats. >> mats. >> mats. >> mats ella whelan, mats wilander, mats philander. >> yes . very good. >> yes. very good. >> yes. very good. >> you weren't expecting that? no, no. no, sir. tennis. i'm still trying to work out. the german had this wooden racket. my german had this wooden racket. my parents. i wanted a metal michael stick. >> is it? >> is it? >> no, no, i really wanted a metal racket. and my parents, for my birthday, i thought, oh, my god, this is it. this is. my dad gave me this wooden thing with this brushed white, and it was this german player i'd never heard of. >> he was german. >> he was german. >> he was german. >> he was. oh, maybe he could have been swedish or danish. >> well, that narrows it down slightly. he's got a funny name. >> is what you say so angry. right. well, look, i'm going to

find out the name of this, this player. >> one more for you. now, this scotland have arrived in germany. so scotland for the euros. they've arrived. garmisch partenkirchen urchin, which is a beautiful skiing resort in the alps. so john mcginn, the captain of scotland, has arrived there and decided to celebrate in true bavarian style. >> shall we have a look? yes oh, look at this . look at this. the blue. >> well, that was just a lucky guess. there it was, the scotland sukh that gave it away. there, wasn't it? and the fact he couldn't do it very well. it was like watching a bad. it was like the generation game, wasn't it? quite frankly. but there we are. john mcginn getting underway. i could watch that, quite frankly. oh yeah. in fact, i will play it every time i come back on brilliant stuff. >> paul coyte good to see you. this morning. you're back with us in the next hour, aren't you? >> with german tennis player with a white.

>> yeah. >> yeah. >> white racket when you were a girl. so we're looking, what, 50s, girl. so we're looking, what, 505, 60 girl. so we're looking, what, 50s, 60 then? so. okay, i think. hold on me. leave that with me. i'll see what i can do for you. >> very good darling, very good. right goodbye, paul. goodbye >> do you stay with us still to come? we're going to be looking at the front pages and the biggest stories of day with dawn and paula

london. >> 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 breakfast. the time is 642. and let's look at some newspaper front pages for you now. >> well, i'll start with the daily mail, shall we? that leads with the wife of doctor michael mosley, paying tribute to her brilliant husband after his body was found yesterday. >> the times leads with suella braverman urging the conservatives to embrace nigel farage onto the telegraph, which leads with french president emmanuel macron calling a snap election . the eye leads with election. the eye leads with a poll revealing labour is yet to convince voters on key policy areas and the financial times leads, with the labour party abandoning plans to bring back the pensions lifetime allowance . the pensions lifetime allowance. well, joining us now to go through what is making the news this morning is former editor of the daily star, dawn neesom and broadcaster paula london. very good morning to you both ladies. >> morning and dawn. >> morning and dawn. >> let's start with you, shall we. on the front page of the

times and its suella braverman saying the tories must embrace farage. >> yes. >> yes. >> one of our very many former home secretaries, braverman, is urging the tories to embrace nigel farage and unite the right. her words, not mine. because as suella says, there's not much difference between farage's policies and the tories. well, if you think that there's not much difference between the tories and labour ehhen between the tories and labour either, but it's interesting. i mean, you know, several of the big beasts in the tory party will already come out. kemi badenoch says she will not actually bring farage back into the party, whilst priti patel and jacob rees—mogg would , and and jacob rees—mogg would, and jacob has actually predicted farage could become tory leader at one point, well, i don't think he would want to, i don't well, i mean the stigmatised, you know what nana know what? >> nothing would surprise me anymore. absolutely nothing would surprise me. but what was cunousin would surprise me. but what was curious in that that debate on friday night, we had the seven of them on the platform, whilst penny morden was doing a lot of that. >> oh, that was, that was quite aggressive. >> yeah. with angela rayner, she actually didn't attack nigel

farage in any way, shape or form. in fact, i think she barely mentioned him. so it's interesting. and you know, when we've seen what happened in europe overnight with the rise of the right wing parties and inverted commas, you know, with our politics, anything is possible. i mean, you know, this is suella braverman and this is what suella braverman says and does, but , what suella braverman says and does, but, you what suella braverman says and does, but , you know, would does, but, you know, would farage do it, would i don't know. i mean, 39% of reform voters would vote conservative if farage wasn't standing, which is interesting as well. >> so it's interesting. well, have you got any thoughts on that ? that? >> yeah, it's very interesting. i do think, rishi will be very happy with her saying that everyone should unite the right, because obviously reform and conservative are rivals and she's got a 26,000 majority. >> so i think she'll be winning her seat. no problems. but everything's very strange at the moment and i think i'm not sure who i'm going to vote for, but it depends on your constituency and who your mp is. a lot of people have no idea who they reform. mps are , and you don't

reform. mps are, and you don't just vote for the leader. some people may just vote for nigel, but i don't think so. for me, it's important. who my mp is in my constituency, whether i've had any dealings with them , what had any dealings with them, what their characters. >> i think that's quite unusual because i think it's very unusual because most people just see the name on the tin and think i want them to win, and they vote for them because a lot of people think they are much of a muchness. >> i think it doesn't make sense, because if you've got a problem in your area, nigel's not going to help you. it'll be your local mp that helps you. >> well, this is the lib dem play >> well, this is the lib dem play card, isn't it? that's what the lib dems are doing. they are targeting local areas, local events for local people. that's what their, their, their ploy is. but if you think back to 2019, people voted for the conservatives because they voted for boris johnson. that's right. they didn't actually vote for the local conservatives. most of them couldn't name them. but it was boris that did that. >> oh, the lib dems, now you mention it, do have some very interesting and localised policies, but things that people care about, like they're talking about water, nobody's talking about water, nobody's talking about water, nobody's talking about water, no. and i think

that's water is life. i mean that's water is life. i mean that's essential. >> i mean, i will never forget the post office scandal. so ed can do whatever he likes. >> but he wasn't just him, though. there were many, many post office ministers, so he was just one of a few. although he did turn away alan bates, which i just don't like the way he's acting. >> i don't want to be mean or anything, and it's very obviously he's a great father to his son, but i just feel like he's almost using his son in a way. and it just it doesn't sit well with me. >> do you think i don't know about that? because my, my son using. but i just find you think he's putting him in the forefront and i sort of think, oh, please. >> it just makes me feel very uncomfortable, yeah. >> i think he was trying to emphasise the role that carers play. yeah. and, and obviously how they are unpaid and there are many carers in this country who probably. >> why is he doing it now when the elections coming up. he's never brought his son to the forefront before. >> and there was that time when the post office scandal and people wanted him to ask questions. and then he said he was looking after his son, but then he may well have been, you know, but he sort of. yeah. that did seem a bit.

>> yeah. >> yeah. >> did seem a bit. >> did seem a bit. >> he mentioned paula, let's let's move on to michael mosley. very tragic story. >> yeah. it's really sad. >> yeah. it's really sad. >> obviously we'll have to wait till the autopsy. but i mean he's gone now which i guess has given some closure to his family. but the police do think he fell over and hit his head. oh so i mean, obviously any death is tragic. he wasn't particularly old, but he had helped a lot of people in his life. you know, he has a legacy. he'd done a lot of good. but i mean, it's not a very nice way to go, is it? if he was on his own and in pain and he was very close to meeting people, i think he was 100m or 200m. yeah. >> apparently within earshot of a local restaurant. i think that really brings it home, doesn't it? when you look at the pictures on the front pages today, just how close he was dawn to actually, it's incredibly sad. >> it's incredible. yeah. you look at where how close he was to the marina and it's just incredibly sad. it's on the front page of every single newspaper today. i love the way the sun have handled it and the daily mail in particular. and obviously michael , daily mail in particular. and obviously michael, his daily mail in particular. and obviously michael , his wife, obviously michael, his wife, gave this very emotive statement last night because she's out there with a four grown up children and, you know, evidently the children were within, with, with within yards of where their dad's body was. and you just think it's just

horrific. and he was he was so helpful to so many people with with his health advice , with his health advice, particularly people with type 2 diabetes, like my own husband . diabetes, like my own husband. so i mean, it's just incredibly sad. but i mean, you know, i can understand why he did what he did. i've done stupid things. when i'm on a holiday. i love hiking. i used to go climbing, but i've done these things. i've just taken off and go, yes, absolutely. i'm just going to go and walk over that hillside. and i was going, no, i really wouldn't do that. but i've just done that. i mean, you know, if you're like michael and you're like me, you do these things. so i completely understand why he was doing what he's doing. and i don't think anyone should blame him for that. the fact he didn't have a phone with eventually, i'm more upset that he didn't have a phone with him. >> yeah, but i'm not sure that would have helped if he did fall and bash his head. well, yeah, but it may have helped with location. yeah, the track has the tracking. so i think, you know, the takeaway from this is if you are going to do something like that, and i know a lot of people are spur of the moment people are spur of the moment people just to have a mobile phone or something. >> the thing i think with michael and his story, what it illustrates is that, you know, life really is very short. we don't know how long we've got. and you need to live your life

every day and love what you do every day and love what you do every day and love what you do every day as much as you can. because this illustrates that we don't know. you go on a happy family holiday. you know, you have a nice walk after lunch, and then this happens and you never go back to your loved ones. and that's where the message should be to make the most of every day you have. >> and his wife has been very sort of brave about it and saying that at least he was in a beautiful place. yeah, somewhere that he loved for 40 years. i know that that's your soul mate, isn't it? >> it's a lovely tribute. yeah, very, very lovely. >> lovely tribute, dawn, let's stay with you, shall we? and shall we look at the continent. this is macron. a bit of a shock. he's called a snap election. well, yeah. >> i mean, it's intriguing, isn't it? i mean , this was our, isn't it? i mean, this was our, it's called snap parliamentary elections after europe's hard right political parties , are led right political parties, are led by marine le pen, were backed by millions of voters overnight in elections. and it's a humiliating defeat for macron, and for olaf scholz in germany as well. and in italy, meloni has strengthened her position as

well. so it really is the rise in europe of the far right. and i'm putting that inverted commas because i'm not actually , you because i'm not actually, you know, all the papers are calling it the far right. but, you know, even if you're worried about immigration these days, you're called far right . so immigration these days, you're called far right. so i'm not entirely sure what far right actually means. but they're saying that, you know, this is it's you know, they are making gains in the eu, on one hand, it strengthens the eu because they're all singing from pretty much the same hymn sheet, because they've all got the same people in power. but the weird thing in france is, even if macron loses the snap election, which i think he probably will, then he will still remain as president and le pen will probably then become prime minister so what is going on here? does that mean that he's trying to set, marine le pen up to prove that she doesn't really have any more policies or that's that's that could be it. >> and also, i think he wants to try and change the rules so that there can be a third term, a third term, because that's what he wants. >> isn't he? i mean, the double

bluffs going on in european politics make ours look sort of like vaguely sane, only vaguely sane. paula london, what are your thoughts on mccoy, i would love it if macron went. i mean, he's he's trying to hold on because he only narrowly won the last two elections. so and i also think regarding the far right, the mainstream media really underestimate seeing how upset people are with the illegal immigration. it's not just about people coming over in boats. there's huge problems for the whole of europe. and i think it's interesting how obviously the tide now is going to the right. well, they're calling it far right, but it's just the right in europe. but we're going to the left , which is quite to the left, which is quite worrying. but it may encourage labour to be more right if they do get in. >> do you not think that they have slightly sort of gone a bit more? right. anyway, looking at some of their policies, although some of their policies, although some of their policies, although some of them are just, you know, some of them are just, you know, some people might argue don't make any sense, but all the parties have that . but some parties have that. but some people might argue that they seem to be moving towards the centre. keir starmer has kind of eradicated some of the left more leftist , far left issues within leftist, far left issues within his party.

>> well, immigration is the big one for me and people are forgetting how patriotic people are. >> it's not just brits, it's the french, the spanish, the italians. and for me, immigration. this election should be won on immigration in this country. and he doesn't. he honestly doesn't care about the illegal immigration. that's how i feel. so it's not really moving on that. >> let's come back home and let's talk about rishi sunak paula and his. he's pledging 8000 more bobbies on the beat. >> i mean that's the least of his problems at the moment because he's you know, he's thinks, oh that's going to be great. i'm going to win. now. that's going to be in his manifesto. >> i don't think he thinks he's going to win. >> well, not win, but i mean i guess he thinks, oh, now people are going to think i'm great, he's going on about how people are so worried about their cars being stolen. we have got a lot bigger problems in this country than cars being stolen. it's obviously very bad for the insurance companies. but labour, insurance companies. but labour, in their manifesto, they they're also going to have more police. they say 12,000. so rishi is saying my eight is going to be better because they're going to have be warranted. labour are going to put a lot of, the, you know, the constables that can't

really do anything, yeah, i'm still angry with rishi, but the fact i've been a very strong conservative all my life, the fact that he called the election for july knowing it was an advantageous knowing, well, maybe we'll but again, perhaps he called it because he was concerned about nigel farage and the reform party gaining steam over the next six months. >> if he waits till november, then they'll be fully formed. whereas now everybody's kind of scrabbling for candidates and so on. >> i think he's lost thousands and thousands of voters by calling it for calling it for july . july. >> he's disappointed so many people because we're all waiting for the flights to go off to rwanda. and the fact that that could have helped us have a conservative party in, well, november , september, when the november, september, when the election, i thought would be the fact that he's just thrown that away and he's risks, his risks, our lives. really, i don't want five years of labour. so, yeah, i'm just not happy about anything. well, and just just to sort of recap that the 8000 more bobbies was actually for car thefts, burglaries, anti—social behaviour and all that kind of stuff as well. >> so he is not just focused on cars, but actually talking about

law and order. >> we had a lot of promises over the weekend, didn't we? we had yvette cooper also going about law and order, but we actually it's one of the tory party's manifestos that was fulfilled. we do actually have record numbers of police on the streets at the moment. >> okay . >> okay. >> okay. >> thank you. and paula, thank you very much indeed. good to see you both this morning. you'll be with us throughout the morning. let's have a look at the weather now, shall we? with ellie. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb views. >> good morning. welcome to your latest gb news weather from the met office. it's a bit of a cloudy start for many of us this morning and a damp start too. although there are some drier and brighter interludes on the way. the area of rain that we've seen sinking its way south and eastwards overnight eventually clears its way towards the southeast, but could lead to some travel disruption during the morning rush hour across eastern parts of england. it's closely followed behind by plenty of heavy and blustery showers. these perhaps turning to some longer spells of rain

across parts of scotland , parts across parts of scotland, parts of wales and southwest england. seeing the best of the sunshine this afternoon, but temperatures here only around 18 or 19 degrees and struggling to reach much more than the low to mid teens further north. as we go through the rest of monday there, we're still going to be plenty of showers around through the latter half of the afternoon , but parts of southwestern england and wales generally staying that little, little bit dner staying that little, little bit drier and brighter. so some late sunshine here, heavy showers still across northern parts of england and maybe 1 or 2 across northern ireland too, but generally staying a little bit cloudier for parts of scotland. and those showers do continue to pushin and those showers do continue to push in from the north, pushing their way southwards into monday evening and into the start of tuesday. so those showers do continue for a time through monday evening, but they will gradually start to ease overnight, so generally turning dner overnight, so generally turning drier for most of us as we go into the start of tuesday. as it's turning drier, there will be plenty of clear spells around and that will lead to temperatures dropping a little lower than we saw on the previous night, particularly across the southern half of the uk, where we could see some

rural frost in places, particularly in those rural areas with temperatures dropping down into the low single figures. that does mean that tuesday starts a bit of a drier and brighter day for many of us. still, 1 or 2 showers around, particularly across parts of scotland and along some eastern coasts as we head towards the afternoon and some cloud bubbung afternoon and some cloud bubbling up as well. so perhaps a bit of a cloudier end to the day . the showers across eastern day. the showers across eastern parts of england, perhaps not quite as heavy as on monday, but temperatures are still a little below average for the time of yeah below average for the time of year. only the mid to high teens further south and still in those low double figures further north, that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on

gb news. >> morning. it's 7:00 on monday, the 10th of june. >> this is breakfast with ellie costello and nana akua. right.

house. i went into her bedroom and in this bin that's full of nonsense and rubbish i had. and i thought, oh my god, it's a mouse. so what i did was, you know, they love peanut butter on a trap and i have some traps downstairs. i put a peanut butter on a trap there. i feel bad i didn't mean to kill it, but unfortunately, you know . but unfortunately, you know. anyway, so i woke up the next day and there it was in the trap. like i felt bad. and i, you know, i don't i don't condone that, but i can't have it in my house, as you must understand. anyway, i thought, you know what? i'm going to leave it there. she's going to come back to her room. she's going to she's gonna go. >> are you left the dead mouse on the trap in her? >> because i thought not not being horrible. just to teach her a lesson. you need to learn, girl. you need to learn. i can't wait, i wish i'd put a camera in there. >> oh my goodness. >> oh my goodness. >> well, that's gonna give her a fright now. so that's what you've been up to this weekend. >> that's what i've been doing. but i was just when i saw the young people thing, i thought lazy, messy, dirty at that age. >> yes. yeah. >> yes. yeah. >> and is she old enough to vote? >> not yet. she's 15, vote? >> not yet. she's15, so vote? >> not yet. she's 15, so she'll almost be 16. coming up to 16, though, would she vote? well, i don't think i'd want her to,

frankly, but yeah, but the labour party would. and that's what one of their things was, wasn't it. young people voting anyway. >> yes. well, let us know if you have children at home. grandchildren at home. will they be voting? what do you make of it? gbnews.com/yoursay say, but of course it is election time, isn't it? it's election fever. it's sweeping the uk, but it's also sweeping the continent over the weekend, the prime minister continued to dodge the media in the aftermath of his d—day debacle. but nonetheless, today the conservatives have promised a new £650 billion policing plan, which would put 8000 new officers on the street whilst labour today are promising to save parents £400, a year as they commit to delivering free breakfast clubs in primary schools, and a big day for the liberal democrats . as ed davey liberal democrats. as ed davey is set to launch his party's manifesto later on this morning, the first of the major parties to do so . well, joining us now to do so. well, joining us now from labour's battlebus gb news political correspondent, katherine forster. good to see you this morning, catherine. and we are expecting big childcare

plans, expansion of them from labour today . can you tell us a labour today. can you tell us a bit more ? bit more? >> yes. good morning. from the labour bus somewhere en route to the east midlands in the middle of the motorway, travelling quite fast at the moment and labour today unveiling plans for 100,000 new childcare places paid for by putting vat on private school fees and they say that they're planning to convert up to potentially 3500 classrooms at a cost of about £40,000 each. because basically people are having less children, the birth rate is falling increasingly and schools have got spare capacity . so this is got spare capacity. so this is the plan, and keir starmer saying childcare is critical infrastructure . both parties infrastructure. both parties seem to have finally woken up to the fact that childcare is

horrendously expensive in this country , and there's a real country, and there's a real crisis with it. worth saying though, that this is really dwarfed by the decision of the current government and the fact that labour are going to adopt it. there's this massive expansion of free childcare down to children from nine months. ultimately, that's a really, really , big deal. the really, big deal. the conservatives feel they haven't got any credit for that whatsoever. talking of the conservatives yes, they're pledging 8000 more, police officers. they're saying that they've recruited 20,000 more since 2019. of course, that only replaces the 20,000 that were cut, during austerity. will we hear from rishi sunak today, journalists didn't hear from him over the weekend. we saw some photographs of him out and about, campaigning. but he's gone very, very quiet, hasn't he, since that, design easter,

to put it, frankly, of him leaving the d—day commemorations early elsewhere for the tory party chairman sent out yesterday and got into a bit of bother on a broadcast interview, he was asked repeatedly about the fact that he's been put into a supposedly safe seat. billericay and basildon, as the only candidate, lots of locals, very unhappy about that. he dodged the question repeatedly. just trying to talk about labour and in the end, the journalists doing the interviews said, this is ridiculous. i'm stopping this interview now . so not a great interview now. so not a great day for the tory party chairman. yesterday >> okay, catherine, thank you very much indeed. good to see you this morning. >> right. well, joining us now to take a more international perspective is the deputy editor of the spectator, freddie grey. freddie, welcome. really good to talk to you. >> good morning . hello. right. >> good morning. hello. right. >> good morning. hello. right. >> what should we start? i want

to start with the french elections. >> well, let's let's start with the french side of the european elections , because it was elections, because it was a staggering result. i mean, for national rally to pull off that coup and then for it to be followed by the immediate drama of macron responding so quickly by calling an election. and but there's a reason why he's done that. it's because his party will have been horrified by the results and desperate to do something. if you look, there's this map that's going around on social media. i don't know if we can pull it up. there's a there's a map of how convincingly national rally won. and if you look at it, is it coming up? >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> we'll get that up for you in just a moment. >> but yeah, it's, it shows just they won in almost every constituency outside of the cities. there we go. >> so what does it mean? >> so what does it mean? >> it looks like so that brown is national rally. that's brown is national rally. that's brown is marine le pen's party just everywhere. >> so the white is the only the gap in the middle. >> yeah. and then you can see a little bit in bordeaux and so on and other places. but even in those places the national rally did much better. >> so. so what does the brown

mean? sorry. >> what's the brown means? >> what's the brown means? >> le pen, marine le pen. >> le pen, marine le pen. >> oh, wow. yeah. so just in the middle there, that little white dot there, which is paris. yeah. wow. >> and you see tiny bits of pink and other places elsewhere. but that's it's pretty much a that is a nationwide sweep , and i is a nationwide sweep, and i think that shows you not just, how unpopular macron is, but it also shows you how le pen has changed her party, you know, and we talked earlier about the word far right. you know, she's not far right. you know, she's not far right. you know, she's not far right in in the sense her father was. her father was an anti—semite . yeah. her father anti—semite. yeah. her father was pretty much genuinely a sort of vichy style fascist, she is not that you can disagree with her. you can dislike her on many things, but she's not that. and she has introduced a younger element to her party now, which is spearheaded by this guy called jordan bardella, who is increasingly becoming the leader of the party. even ahead of her in some people's minds. and he's more popular among metropolitan people, among young people, he's

very good on tv, and really, what you're seeing is the national right are becoming the political party of france. and now you'll have parliamentary elections in which this is probably unless something very dramatic happens, probably going to be confirmed. i think what macron is hoping on one level is that he will have a less embarrassing result. he's going to lose, probably, but he'll have a less embarrassing result because he'll be able to rally up that fear of fascism, that fear of the far right that has got him elected twice . because got him elected twice. because remember, the reason he got elected last time was because people didn't want to vote for marine le pen. it wasn't because they particularly liked him. it's a gamble, though, isn't it, freddie? it's a huge gamble because it could end up. i mean, i think what he's thinking about doing is doing what? mitterrand what happened in the age of mitterrand, which is bring in you , bring in your enemy into you, bring in your enemy into government and then you make it clear to the public that they are just as bad as you are in government. and i think that's what macron wants to do . i just what macron wants to do. i just don't know if it will work, because i think i can't see that this seems like a very odd

tactic. >> i can't see it working. i think he probably just panicked. >> well, i think you do have, as president rather than, you know, people are making the comparisons between sunak and macron . they are quite macron. they are quite interesting. both of them sort of responded to local election results or european election results or european election results in macron's case by calling an election, but rishi is going to lose his job in these elections if he loses the election. >> i don't think he could be that concerned or not. yeah yeah, macron stays on but rishi is a billionaire, isn't he? so >> well he can. yeah. well quite. >> yeah, he'd be all right. he'll be all right if he doesn't i >> -- >> it is. it is fascinating. >> it is. it is fascinating. >> fascinating though, isn't it. this, this swing to the right across the world. >> it is fascinating. look, look at what's going on in germany. i mean the afd, which has had terrible problems. they are by, i think, the sort of you want to have right wing, left wing ometer. they're probably further to the right of marine le pen now, they did much better than expectations. they came, they they beat olaf schultz's party in germany. and look at what's going on in the left in germany. you know, the greens, which are a very powerful party in germany, did very, very badly last night. they went down to about 12, which was a big drop

for them . and the one left wing for them. and the one left wing party that did well in germany are the bees. they're called the anti—migrant left wing party. oh, right. and so what you see is immigration is the issue that really defines all this politics. it's actually european publics, just like the british public. they're not right wing in any sort of old fashioned, nasty right sense other than on the issue of immigration, because they are all publics and all peoples, and you see it in america, and it's why you're going to have possibly a right wing move in america. again, with donald trump in november. immigration is the issue that constantly drives voters out to the polls to express their disgust at what their governments are doing, but because a lot of people call it right wing, but i've been called far right. >> i mean, i don't think the far right would have let me in. and it just just for my notion that there are two genders, you know what i mean? so this notion that people are far right simply for expressing views that are clearly common sense, in my view, the term's been cheapened beyond meaning. >> i try not to use it because it doesn't absurd. >> it doesn't actually have a

meaning anymore, i don't think. >> and particularly when these parties, you know, far right means you're not outside the mainstream when these parties are becoming the mainstream, which they are, you know, reform is, marine le pen is , you know, is, marine le pen is, you know, you can't really call them far right anymore , freddy, just right anymore, freddy, just before we let you go, just we're talking about immigration. there being a key issue around the world. what do you think the election here is going to be won on? do you think it's about immigration, the economy? i think if reform, outperformed the conservatives, which look looks like it might happen, that will be because of immigration reform are making this the immigration election. >> they're banging that message very, very hard. and it and it works because the tories have failed to address illegal immigration properly. that's one small part of it. but more people are now increasingly concerned about legal migration and the huge levels of legal migration , so yes, i think this migration, so yes, i think this will be a very important factor. and labour have are a bit more trusted on immigration than they were under corbyn, which is one of the reasons why they're being

quite successful . quite successful. >> well, there's no excuse for the high levels of legal migration . there really isn't. migration. there really isn't. they could have controlled it properly and they didn't. >> and there's a big sense in the country that it's not under control , and that it may be it control, and that it may be it maybe has helped bring down wages and control inflation to a certain extent. and was that the plan all along? i think a lot of people think it might have been, but it's their communities that are having to deal with huge numbers of people and not necessarily integrating them that well. well, also, nigel farage are sort of very neutral. >> think tank has come out and said that actually we are not getting the right kind of immigration in this country and it's costing us more money rather than bringing into the treasury. >> well , and treasury. >> well, and nigel farage is whatever one thinks have been very good at articulating that point of view, and that's why they're doing so well. and if they're doing so well. and if they , they pip the tories into they, they pip the tories into this election, if they beat the tories at this election, you'll see exactly what you saw in europe last night, which is the harder right, the more resolute right , harder right, the more resolute right, winning at the expense of the more centrist. >> right. okay. pretty great. good to see you this morning.

>> great to be great to be with you. >> indeed. and do let us know what you make of any of those stories that we're touching upon with freddie or with catherine. gbnews.com/yoursay >> for now, tributes are flowing today for tv doctor michael mosley, whose body was found yesterday on the greek island of simi after going missing on wednesday. >> yes, his wife, doctor claire bailey mosley, paid tribute to her wonderful husband, who she said they had been incredibly lucky to have a long and wonderful life together. while colleagues and friends have described him as immediately likeable and a genuinely funny man. >> well, joining us now is greek journalist elena magara. i hope i said that right. elena, this seems like, you know , a lot of seems like, you know, a lot of people say that they may have made a similar mistake to michael by just going away. it looks very idyllic. it looks that, you know, a couple of rocks here and there seems like you're on a holiday. what would you're on a holiday. what would you say to tourists who, when they do come to the greek isles? >> i think it's a very , very

>> i think it's a very, very actually desperately sad, cautionary tale for tourists and locals alike , the fact that you locals alike, the fact that you can start walking on, on an island that you don't know , and island that you don't know, and then you might take a wrong turn and get lost or, just get on a very difficult path to navigate , very difficult path to navigate, i think that it should be on everyone's minds after what has happened, what has very sadly happened, what has very sadly happened to michael mosley, it seems that he managed to navigate, actually, the very difficult rocky path that he ended up taking, but because of the heat, and probably exhaustion , we don't yet know exhaustion, we don't yet know the exact cause of death. because the body will be taken to the, to the hospital at rhodes, which is a bigger island close to see me , for an autopsy close to see me, for an autopsy today, but that's why he

probably didn't make it, even though he managed to eventually get very close to the seaside . get very close to the seaside. >> we've just been seeing footage on our screens here of just how close doctor michael mosley was to safety. he got very, very close to that bar, didn't he? very close to that marina. and i'm not sure if that makes this story worse or whether that could be potentially comforting to his family that he was so close to, to getting help . to getting help. >> i've been thinking about the exact same thing, if it's actually if it's worse or in some way more comforting for the family to know that he ended up being so close, it seems that, his hand was found on his stomach or close to his chest , stomach or close to his chest, so maybe he managed to get there and he didn't fall , in order to and he didn't fall, in order to get to that specific spot because there were some theories

that maybe because he was found on the on this rocky, rocky terrain , that maybe he fell and terrain, that maybe he fell and ended up that close to the beach . but from the stance of his body, what is being said now is that he he probably managed to reach that point, but it will know more later . know more later. >> yeah. it's very sad, isn't it? >> and what can you what can you tell us about the terrain? because there are questions this morning on many of our front pages of our newspapers saying, why did it take five days to find doctor michael mosley if he was this close to, to safety, that close to where people were sat and holidaying, what is it about the terrain that made this search so difficult ? search so difficult? >> this is still unclear and we're still waiting , from the we're still waiting, from the authorities to weigh in on that because it, it's has it has been known for days that search teams , huge search teams and aided by helicopters and dogs and drones

were searching the entire island in on the first two days. it seems like they were focused on a different area to, because they thought that he had taken they thought that he had taken the regular path to get to where he was going. but still, even then they had been searching everywhere. and what what was said yesterday as well, after the body was found, was that that specific area had been searched numerous times, by all kinds of search teams and even by his children. as far as, as far as i'm aware that i it was said yesterday that they had reached, about 100 100m from that point during their search, it's rocky . it's on a hillside, it's rocky. it's on a hillside, it's rocky. it's on a hillside, it's a very dry area, so it seems that that's why. and it was behind the fence as well. so

it seems that's why he was not, his his body was not found earlier . earlier. >> yeah. very, very sad news. liana, thank you very much for joining us. thank you for your thoughts , so desperately sad, thoughts, so desperately sad, isn't it? and just how close he got. i'm not sure if it does make that better for the family or. well it makes it worse, i think his wife said that she feels comforted by the fact that he was so close, and that he almost made it so . almost made it so. >> you know, i think that's, you know, that's the takeaway from him. >> i think the only thing you can, you can think as the family is at least perhaps he had some hopein is at least perhaps he had some hope in his heart towards the end. you know, if you could see the see if he could see people, maybe he felt hopeful. it's just so sad, isn't it? and so many of you getting in touch this morning with your own tributes, about doctor michael moses. do keep them coming in gbnews.com slash your say right. >> let's have a look at some of the other stories coming into the other stories coming into the newsroom. a woman in her 40s remains in hospital with life threatening injuries after a ride malfunctioned at a funfair in south london on saturday. the

plenty of heavy and blustery showers, these perhaps turning to some longer spells of rain across parts of scotland. parts of wales and southwest england. seeing the best of the sunshine this afternoon. but temperatures here only around 18 or 19 degrees and struggling to reach much more than the low to mid teens further north. as we go through the rest of monday, there was still going to be plenty of showers around through the latter half of the afternoon, but parts of southwestern england and wales generally staying that little, little bit drier and brighter. so some late sunshine here, heavy showers still across northern parts of england, and maybe 1 or 2 across northern ireland too, but generally staying a little bit cloudier for parts of scotland. and those showers do continue to push in from the north, pushing their way southwards into monday evening and into the start of tuesday. so those showers do continue for a time through monday evening, but they will gradually start to ease overnight, so generally turning dner overnight, so generally turning drier for most of us as we go into the start of tuesday. as it's turning drier, there will be plenty of clear spells around and that will lead to temperatures dropping a little

lower than we saw on the previous night, particularly across the southern half of the uk, where we could see some rural frost in places , rural frost in places, particularly in those rural areas with temperatures dropping down into the low single figures. that does mean that tuesday starts a bit of a drier and brighter day for many of us. still, 1 or 2 showers around, particularly across parts of scotland and along some eastern coasts as we head towards the afternoon and some cloud bubbung afternoon and some cloud bubbling up as well. so perhaps a bit of a cloudier end to the day. the showers across eastern parts of england perhaps not quite as heavy as on monday , but quite as heavy as on monday, but temperatures still a little below average for the time of yeah below average for the time of year. only the mid to high teens further south and still in those low double figures further north. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on . gb news. on. gb news. >> well, if you're just tuned in, it's just coming up to 25 minutes after 7:00. this is gb news and it's time for the great british giveaway now, and your chance to make this summer really, really special. with over £16,000 worth of prizes to

next. welcome back to breakfast. the time is exactly 730. now, a survey has found almost a fifth of young people who are eligible to vote have said they are unlikely to head to the polls on july the 4th, suggesting that there could be some disillusion moment with politicians. >> well, today we're asking our young people too lazy to vote. >> well, joining us to debate this is political commentator anna mcgovern, who thinks young people are uninspired and former apprentice star ryan—mark parsons, who thinks young people are just lazy. >> very good morning to the two of you. good to see you, anna. let's start with you. so you don't think this is about laziness? you just think that they're not inspired by any of they're not inspired by any of the parties ? the parties? >> yes, i completely agree. and i think young people , especially i think young people, especially with the current regime, have been let down time and time

again. but i remember back in 2020, when lockdown, for example, was first initiated, i was an a level student and i remember going through that process where, for example, we couldn't sit our exams because of the lockdown restrictions and then that disaster policy where then that disaster policy where the government essentially chose our grades. and then that essentially meant that when we were applying for top university courses, the grades that we would have normally got when we sat exams , for the most part, sat exams, for the most part, for many young people, ended up being a lot lower. and then even when these were corrected, the universities had filled up on their places by then and then students had missed out. i also believe that with the current government, they're not prioritising young people and they're completely uninspired . they're completely uninspired. and i look at the current parties that are up for election and personally, i currently plan to spoil my ballot. i am not seeing young people represented in any of this, and i think this really does need to be a top priority because at the moment,

i don't blame young people for not wanting to vote or getting involved, because how are the political parties we have on offer really representing them right , rather than just letting right, rather than just letting them down? >> but anna, i mean , the young >> but anna, i mean, the young people should learn. that's life. you've got the best of a bad bunch and you've got to pick the best one. surely ryan , what the best one. surely ryan, what do you think? >> well, look, i'm 24. i have these conversations with all of my friends who are also the same age. and i think , yes, there is age. and i think, yes, there is age. and i think, yes, there is a degree of apathy, and i think there is also, in part, a degree of selfishness. look there's no denying that elections are fought disproportionately on gaining the older votes and the policies that come out are skewed towards an older voter. let's look at the conservative policy of the triple lock. plus 18 year olds aren't necessarily going to care about pensions, but that's why we're seeing a

reduction in young people going to the polling stations. look at the last elections 2019. you had 47% of 18 to 24 year olds going to vote the same in 2017. it's slightly higher, 54% to 2015 was 43. 2010 was 44. we are seeing a 20% decrease in against the national average of people turning out to vote. and i think thatis turning out to vote. and i think that is because young people also don't don't understand the practicalities of everyday life. so what it's like for an actual aduu so what it's like for an actual adult in the world when it comes to taxes, when it comes to health care, there are reasons why young people aren't voting, but i think a large part of it is apathy and also and selfishness because they only care about issues that concern themselves. rather, the wider society. and i think that plays a part of it .

a part of it. >> do you think that's right, anna? because, you know, young people are too busy on tiktok currently. my daughter is probably crying over a mouse in her bedroom. you know, when she gets to 18, i don't think she'll be that bothered about voting. do you think that's what it is? they're just lazy because they can't be bothered. they're too busy on likes, on not facebook . busy on likes, on not facebook. what do they do now? instagram? instagram? yeah i know, i mean, to an extent, i do agree with ryan. >> and i think for, for many people as well, you're going to vote for the party that best represents your situation and will help you. i don't think there's anything selfish about that. you're going to vote for something that's going to benefit you. it's going to benefit you. it's going to benefit your family. i think for many young people, yes, there is a huge problem with tiktok and social media addiction. and i think for many young people as well, what really disappoints me is the way that the conservatives and labour are trying to win over the young people vote is through memes . people vote is through memes. that's how they're trying to convince young people to get

down and vote. and i think that actually then shows a huge problem then with our political education. yes, young people are apathetic. yes, many young people don't actually understand what is what is happening in the world of politics. and i think thatis world of politics. and i think that is a failing of our education system that they're not taught about this. some young people as well are not actually taught how to register to vote. so i think parties need to vote. so i think parties need to be prioritising young people throughout this process. and political education needs to be prioritised and brought into schools. so young people are able to fully engage and have an understanding of the world around them. >> but why should it be somebody else's responsibility to get somebody who's 18 to learn about the political system ? i mean, the political system? i mean, that's what it's about. when you turn into an adult, you start to focus on the things that are relevant to you, and it's down to you that this is the transition from being at school where you're spoon fed, and then you become an adult and then you feed yourself. why should it be the school's responsibility? varne do you think? sorry, i just want to ask that. >> no, i totally agree with you nana. i think young people need

to engage themselves. it shouldn't be on the responsibility of schools to get young people politically motivated. i mean, from the age of 16, i joined the conservative party and i've been a proactive member of the party ever since. in fact, i'm out here in mid buckinghamshire campaigning for greg smith, who's a candidate here, and i've been out every single day canvassing , here, and i've been out every single day canvassing, and i think that needs to be more motivation amongst young people to get out and to become politically aware and to do more for wider society. yes, political parties aren't always going to appeal to what young people care about, but actually it's about thinking about others than just yourself. you know, care about the pensioners, care about, health care , even though about, health care, even though you might not be going to the hospital as much as an older person. these are things that young people need to be aware of, acknowledge and then cast their votes based on issues that don't necessarily concern them . don't necessarily concern them. that's what i would say to young people watching this and labour's motivation is to reduce the voting age to 16 is really

to just skew the vote in favour of labour and to increase their voter share, because obviously, young people i would say as a supplementary point, are very influenced by, like anna was saying, social media, their social groups, they don't seem to have a brain sometimes to think for them , for themselves think for them, for themselves and to actually go out and vote based on their own political principles. and i would say that's fundamentally an issue as well . well. >> well, listen, ryan, mark and also anna mcgovern, thank you very much. i mean, if they really are that lazy, then labour's plan, if that is it to skew the vote, that won't work, will it? if they're that lazy . will it? if they're that lazy. and also i think it's worrying if you have people in education then teaching you about politics because they then skew it towards their own narrative , i towards their own narrative, i think that would be a problem. >> well, let us know what you think on that debate. gb news. com ulez say we know that you're going to have a view on that. that's for sure. you just heard ryan mark talk about greg smith there, who is the conservative candidate for mid buckinghamshire. so we are just going to share the other candidates who are who are vying for your votes in that seat. so

the climate party is wisdom de costa standing for labour is charisma griffiths. reform uk is stephanie harwood, liberal democrats and jess schaffer, conservative greg smith. green looks like another greg smith and the social democratic party is yvonne wilding. they are all standing for election in mid buckinghamshire. >> right. well coming up it's the sports with paul coyte. this breakfast on gp news with ellie

>> metal racket, was it? >> metal racket, was it? >> no, it was wooden. don't. >> no, it was wooden. don't. >> don't make me sad. i wanted a metal one at the time. >> now, talking of germany, we've got the euros coming up, which is, begins on friday, and this is just my favourite thing. and i'm never going to get tired of this because scotland have gone to garmisch , which is gone to garmisch, which is a beautiful place at the foot of the alps. it's just a lovely skiing resort. and that is where scotland will be staying. that's their base. and they will be playing the host germany on friday. so to get in the spirit of germany and bavaria, here's john mcginn. let's see this straight away. this is the most important sports news. >> john mcginn . yes. >> john mcginn. yes. >> john mcginn. yes. >> captain of scotland. yes. look at him . you know, i thought look at him. you know, i thought maybe he should be wearing the leader hosen . but then we can leader hosen. but then we can recognise who he's. he's not bad though, is he. >> no, it's quite good. >> no, it's quite good. >> it was quite good at it. i don't know whether the physios would too be happy with the, with that sort of move there. >> yeah. the pressure on the kneesi >> yeah. the pressure on the knees i know. >> terrible pressure on the knees. yeah. but yeah. love that. i could just watch that. yeah >> good stuff. so could i. let's

talk about harry kane. >> yes. well harry kane has said, that we really don't need to worry, really, that it was a bit of a wake up call because it was a very bad result when england played iceland on friday, lost one nil. really nothing too much to worry. how much are these dudes getting paid? >> i think we do need to worry. you get that much, you've got to win. it's not about the cash, it is about the cash point. >> it's not about the cash. it's like you go, i don't care who you're playing. you go out and win because you're getting paid. well, the thing is, they get paid a lot, don't they paid a huge amount of money, do they not pay for england? they do. okay. i think like a few quid. but it's nothing like the money that they're going to get from clubs because it's the honour of playing for your country. >> and these guys get like an over 100 grand a week. yeah, some of them do a hundred grand a week. >> the good ones do. yeah, yeah. but unfortunately sounds good. >> doesn't sound good. >> doesn't sound good. >> forget about the money. you know, it's that's that's it. they earn you earn good money. and we would look at that and think yeah, it's outrageous. but inever think yeah, it's outrageous. but i never blame the players because if they can get it good luck to him i work with them. nice work. >> if you can get it. >> if you can get it. >> it is. i was working, funnily enough, i was working at the bazball over the weekend at the

london stadium, which was an amazing thing. we had the two foot hot dog that we had on the show on friday that they, you could get and, it was it. i was talking to old players and they're exactly the same old baseball players. they're over from the states, same as football players here from the old days, because they just say, you know what, it was a great game, but we don't get anywhere near the money these guys these days. and that's what the but that's just the way it goes. but anyway, when it comes to england, harry kane, there's nothing really too much to worry about. other countries who are also expected to do well, they've not done that well in friendlies because you don't want to go out all and just try. you've got to win. it's just these are just warm up games, but then the big stuff happens. >> it's a bit like doing your mock exam, isn't it? you don't do really good in the mocks. and then you'll just. exactly. >> yeah. exactly, exactly. >> yeah. exactly, exactly. >> and you know. but but with those you're just going to hold it back a little, you know. so nothing really too much to worry about. paul. >> we've got 20s with you. so our favourite question at the moment to you is where is the olympic torch? >> well, it's funny, you should say that because i was just

thinking about that just now. >> i thought you'd like gone across the atlantic. >> it's in french guyana. have a look at this. here goes the olympic flame. oh, wow. look at that. it's in the north of south america. can you say north south america. can you say north south america , french guyana, which is america, french guyana, which is on the deserts of brazil. >> does it ever go out? does it ever go out or it the flight nana never goes out. >> the flame is always alight. it's always because the thing is, if it did go out, they'd have to go back to greece, relight it, fly it back again , relight it, fly it back again, start all over again. >> exactly. >> exactly. >> no they wouldn't. >> no they wouldn't. >> nba player , nba player kevin >> nba player, nba player kevin seraphin, who is from french guiana. swimmer, he's doing some breakdancing and some. yeah. there we are. a little bit of breakdancing there, which is now an olympic sport. i don't know what that is. marching, i don't think is an olympic sport , but think is an olympic sport, but there we are. they're celebrating the olympic flame. so it's doing the french territories. and then we'll head back to france for the end of july. and then, of course, that's when it will be lit at the stadium. >> fabulous stuff. paul coyte. thank you very much. >> pleasure . thank you. >> pleasure. thank you. >> pleasure. thank you. >> all right. still to come, we'll be taking a look at the

biggest stories of the day in making the with dawn neesom and london. that's next. this is breakfast on gb news ellie and

nana. >> welcome back to breakfast time. it's 750. we're going to have a very quick look at the newspapers. the former editor of the daily star, dawn neesom and broadcaster paula london. morning, ladies. morning and dawn. let's start with the telegraph, shall we? yeah. nhs is pleading for blood after a cyber attack. >> yeah, this is the awful story. i think the actual cyber attack by a russian group called killin cuillin happened actually on friday or saturday. but now what's happened is, the nhs are pleading for blood. the cyber attack attacked, sort of like the hospitals making blood donation and transplants much more difficult because it had to be done by hand rather than automated. so now the nhs are

putting out an appeal for blood donors to come forward, especially if you are o—positive, which is the most common and 35% of us have it can be used for all other blood types, whether you're a or b, etc. etc. but there are 13,000 signed blood donation vacancies available and they are saying that obviously so many operations are being cancelled now because of this. they are asking people if you can go and give blood, please do so. very simple. and remember there's many, many big hospitals in london that are affected by this. >> going to say it's 0 negative. that's the universal donor. yeah. so if your own negative then that is the one that can give to everybody. so in particular it's 0 negative . particular it's 0 negative. >> yeah. yeah. and that can help with everyone. so if you can go and give blood please do so today. yeah. helping people. yeah. >> you can please do. paula should we have a look at the mail. and this is about celebrities being sent to digitise. >> what is that . >> what is that. >> what is that. >> yeah. it's like a digital form of a guillotine. so i mean, iused form of a guillotine. so i mean, i used to work in pr and many, many years ago, like agents and pr would tell celebrities like to stay out of politics, etc. it would be the best way. but because of the gaza conflict and

israel, now, if people are not speaking out in support of gaza, they're losing hundreds and hundreds of thousands of followers. so, i mean, even as recent as last week, i mean, myself, i'm not a celebrity, but like myself and people that and people that are celebrities, they were getting vilified , for they were getting vilified, for being happy because the hostages were being released, because people like, how dare you be happy when lots of other people lost their lives in gaza during the operation? so you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't. you can't. if you celebrate something's happening for israel, you'll be vilified. and then unless you say something about gaza. so it's very, very difficult. you can't be quiet. but if you do something, either side will come for you . so there's a big for you. so there's a big problem with gaza at the moment. hollywood celebrities like kim kardashian's losing hundreds of thousands of followers and agents and prs are just calling it a digital scene. so they've never seen anything as bad. >> really. >> really. >> i just speak my mind so people follow me and they've heard what i've had to say. >> and after term change, when they have their brand deals, they're losing brand deals.

>> well, that is a thing. you know, if you say things and the brands don't like it, then they. but i think it's time for the advertisers to step out of this, because years ago you used to have sponsorship and advertising and sponsorship was an association with a brand, and advertising was just simply a way of reaching an audience. and now they've merged and advertisers are becoming almost sponsors and getting picky. >> and you were just speaking your mind about taylor swift, which went very well with your colleague this morning. >> a quick story in the daily mirror today. >> chris packham, a springwatch presenter , he's taken on taylor presenter, he's taken on taylor swift, who's over here at the moment selling out concerts , moment selling out concerts, urging all taylor swift fans to protest at her private jet use. so he thinks all the 16 year olds are flocking to see taylor should hold banners up saying stop using private jets, taylor, so yeah, it's, it's taking on theicon so yeah, it's, it's taking on the icon that is taylor swift. good luck with that one, chris. yeah i don't get it with taylor swift. >> i mean, she's all right, but she's average. she's a billionaire. how has she done that? >> she's not average. she is average. >> the world by storm i mean. >> the world by storm i mean. >> oh, god. this is so much better. go on, carry on. you >> i mean, i think with this,

this. >> she's never claimed to be some sort of eco warrior. >> no. she never. >> no. she never. >> i mean, she does have never said that people shouldn't use private jets and things. >> and her spokesperson said that she offsets. she does have a very expensive private jet, and she offsets it all by planting trees all over the place , which basically, we're place, which basically, we're out of time, i'm afraid. >> shut up. sorry >> shut up. sorry >> i'll shut up my papers. >> i'll shut up my papers. >> thank you very much, ladies. look at the weather now with . ellie. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers, sponsors of weather on gb news. >> good morning. welcome to your latest gb news weather from the met office. it's a bit of a cloudy start for many of us this morning. and a damp start too. although there are some drier and brighter interludes on the way. the area of rain that we've seen sinking its way south and eastwards overnight eventually clears its way towards the southeast, but could lead to some travel disruption during the morning rush hour across eastern parts of england. it's

closely followed behind by plenty of heavy and blustery showers. these perhaps turning to some longer spells of rain across parts of scotland , parts across parts of scotland, parts of wales and southwest england. seeing the best of the sunshine this afternoon, but temperatures here only around 18 or 19 degrees and struggling to reach much more than the low to mid teens further north. as we go through the rest of monday there, we're still going to be plenty of showers around through the latter half of the afternoon , but parts of southwestern england and wales generally staying that little, little bit dner staying that little, little bit drier and brighter. so some late sunshine here, heavy showers still across northern parts of england and maybe 1 or 2 across northern ireland too, but generally staying a little bit cloudier for parts of scotland. and those showers do continue to pushin and those showers do continue to push in from the north, pushing their way southwards into monday evening and into the start of tuesday. so those showers do continue for a time through monday evening, but they will gradually start to ease overnight, so generally turning dner overnight, so generally turning drier for most of us as we go into the start of tuesday. as it's turning drier, there will be plenty of clear spells around and that will lead to temperatures dropping a little

lower than we saw on the previous night, particularly across the southern half of the uk, where we could see some rural frost in places, particularly in those rural areas with temperatures dropping down into the low single figures. that does mean that tuesday starts a bit of a drier and brighter day for many of us. still, 1 or 2 showers around, particularly across parts of scotland and along some eastern coasts as we head towards the afternoon and some cloud bubbung afternoon and some cloud bubbling up as well . so perhaps bubbling up as well. so perhaps a bit of a cloudier end to the day. the showers across eastern parts of england perhaps not quite as heavy as on monday, but temperatures still a little below average for the time of yeah below average for the time of year. only the mid to high teens further south and still in those low double figures further north, looks like things are heating up . heating up. >> boxt boilers sponsors of weather

right. here's what's leading the news this morning. the prime minister continues to avoid media scrutiny over the weekend , media scrutiny over the weekend, as the conservatives today pledged to recruit 8000 new police officers . police officers. >> labour pledges to help working parents by creating 3000 new school based nurseries. we'll be speaking to shadow schools minister catherine mckinnell shortly . mckinnell shortly. >> and the liberal democrats are set to be the first party to launch their manifesto today, with the tories and labour to follow on later in the week . follow on later in the week. >> tributes continue to flow in for tb doctor michael mosley after his body was found after a five day search in greece . five day search in greece. >> a night of election bombshells in europe as emmanuel macron calls for a snap french election as right wing parties surge and in the sport this morning, harry kane called the loss to iceland. >> and it's just a nice wake up call. ahead of the euros, that's

all it is. carlos alcaraz became only the seventh player in history to win grand slams on all three different surfaces, as he won the french open on clay yesterday and dina asher—smith is back and ready for the olympic games after winning the european 100 metre gold last night . night. >> hello. it's a cloudy and damp start for many of us this morning, but there is some sunshine on the way this afternoon. join me later for the full forecast with all the details. >> well, lots of you've been getting in touch with your views. i told you the story about a mouse in my house. colin says nana keep an eye out. a mouse in your home is very rarely alone. you won't be. it won't be a mouse. you're likely to have mice are. no. well, they're all heading to my daughter's room, so that's all right. i'll be all right. >> we might have to set some more traps. >> i will do, yeah. unfortunately, you know. oh, deah unfortunately, you know. oh, dear. yeah. oh, i've got one

deah yeah. oh, i've got one here from aukus saying how sunak resigned yet he's useless at politics. that's what some people are saying . people are saying. >> well, do keep your views coming in this morning, gbnews.com/yoursay. but of course it is election fever. not just here in the uk, but across the continent as well. well, over the weekend, the prime minister continued to dodge the media in the aftermath after his d—day debacle. >> but nonetheless, today the conservatives have promised a new £650 billion police plan, which would put 8000 new officers on the streets. >> a lot of money, 650 billion. whilst labour are promising to save parents £400 a year as they commit to delivering free breakfast clubs in primary schools and a big day for the liberal democrats. >> as ed davey is set to launch his party's manifesto later on this morning. the first of the major parties to do so this week. >> and with no prime minister doing the rounds, tory chair richard holden was forced to

face the media during a bit of a car crash interview yesterday . car crash interview yesterday. >> how would you how do you answer the charge? it just looks like an appalling stitch up and you are part of a self—serving elite. >> this interview is about emily thornberry's comments today , and thornberry's comments today, and when she admitted that it's going to be our children across the country who pay the price for labour's decision . for labour's decision. >> when i come back to the question, it looks like a stitch up chairman of the party. short list of one, just before nominations close. how is that not a appalling stitch up? an anti—democratic emily thornberry today has a completely admitted. so you can't justify the way you have been parachuted into basildon and billericay . you're basildon and billericay. you're not denying it's a stitch up and it's anti—democratic , emily it's anti—democratic, emily thornberry today has admitted stop you now . stop you now. >> this is ridiculous. this is ridiculous. you said in an interview earlier this year you were bloody loyal to the northeast. what happened to

that? >> john? i've already answered these questions. no, you haven't i >> painful. am... m >> painful. is it a difficult watch? >> isn't it? that one? yeah. let us know your thoughts on that. gb news. com slash your say. joining us now are gb news political correspondent katherine forster and olivia utley good to see you both this morning catherine. let's start from you. what are we expecting to hear from the labour party today? we're going to hear about an expansion of child care plans, aren't we? >> yes. good morning. a couple of big announcements from the labour party today on child care . one is promising free breakfast clubs for primary school aged children. they estimate that will save parents on average about £400 a year. the second one is to create 100,000 extra child care places . 100,000 extra child care places. us, and they're saying that they're potentially going to convert up to 3500 unused or

underused class rooms in schools that are costing about £40,000 each to accommodate all these children. so keir starmer has said that child care is critical infrastructure. this is something that both the main parties seem to have. >> finally woken up to after, you know, childcare being one of the most expensive here in in the most expensive here in in the developed world. >> worth saying too, of course, that labour have made the decision to, stick with the government's very expensive and very big plans for child care, which is basically to roll out free child care . and from the free child care. and from the age of nine months, that is a very big commitment from the government and labour are going to keep it. >> and this is a one of the ways that they're going to accommodate these extra places. >> so big announcements from

labour party today, hoping that it's going to bring families on board. >> it sounds like a very interesting policy, a very expensive policy. i hope at that point they'll also explain how they're going to fund it, because that sounds expensive. i mean, i think it's wonderful but expensive are they going to talk about their funding for this ? about their funding for this? yeah. well that'll be interesting. all right. let's go to olivia utley , olivia. so what to olivia utley, olivia. so what about the conservatives? they've unveiled their plan to have more police officers, and they've said that it's going to cost a lot of money. can you can you tell us more about what they're talking about ? talking about? >> well, this is an absolutely classic conservative policy . in classic conservative policy. in the run up to a general election, the prime minister has promised 8000 new bobbies on the beat. this is the type of policing that everyone in the sort of home counties , the sort of home counties, the shires, the blue wall of the south east really wants to see. now 8000 police officers would cost £650 million, but the conservatives clearly think it's

worth it to make sure that there normal voters, they're steady voters, people who voted conservative all their lives actually bother to turn up and vote conservative on polling day as a little sort of sweetener, if you like. for those voters, the way it's being funded is through a surcharge on the cost of visas to come to the uk. so essentially raising the cost of immigrating to the uk and raising the cost of health care for students who have come over to the uk from abroad. so it's a sort of, it's a double, a double gift, if you like, for backbench conservative mps who , who are, conservative mps who, who are, who have constituencies or will have constituencies, the conservative hope which are kind of classic blue wall usually quite a sort of elderly population. and what's particularly good for rishi sunakis particularly good for rishi sunak is that he will be able to say that with this new funding, those 8000 new police officers

will bring the level of police officers , the number of police officers, the number of police officers, the number of police officers in the uk back to a level higher than in 2010. so it will take the sting out of labour's perennial argument that the conservatives have cut policing over their 14 years in power. if this policy comes into effect, there would be more police officers in the uk than the last time labour was in power. >> olivia utley , thank you very >> olivia utley, thank you very much. it'll be interesting again to hear. and katherine forster asswell interesting to hear how they plan to fund these wonderful ideas . wonderful ideas. >> well, we're going to be speaking to the labour party very shortly, won't we? so we can put that to them. let's speak now to former independent mayor of middlesbrough, andy preston, who joins us now. good to see you. this morning andy. wow. so much has happened in this campaign trail so far. we've still got four weeks left to run. what do you make of it all so far, i think it's been really boring. i think clearly labouris really boring. i think clearly labour is nothing , i mean, labour is nothing, i mean, interesting the surprise star of

it to me has been ed davey. i mean, as he is the one person who's come across as human, he's willing to laugh at himself. he's compassionate, he's caring . he's compassionate, he's caring. but you know what? it's making no difference in the polls is it? the lib dems are stuck there at the same, voting intention level. so it's been really dull. and don't expect that to change. labour have parked the bus. they're miles ahead . so why they're miles ahead. so why should labour change anything now? if i were them, i wouldn't so expect nothing. but what i will say is the tory situation will say is the tory situation will get worse. they will go from calamity to calamity. we had the awful holden interview yesterday, which is a new low and even an even newer lower low, but expected to get worse because when you're on the ropes politically, it never gets better. it only gets worse. >> well, what about, we're talking about the conservative party. where is rishi? appeared to sort of cancel some of his, arrangements and so on, and so forth. and there is talk that,

he may well step down. i mean, it's just a rumour at the moment that sometimes when these rumours start circulating, there's often an element of truth. >> yeah. that's right. what was it with liz truss? did someone say where's liz truss in? no, she wasn't the chamber. she was hiding under her desk. and you wonder if rishi is hiding under his desk? i don't know, perhaps, but. interesting the campaign started out with a completely stupid idea for the tories that it was going to be a presidential campaign . and about presidential campaign. and about him, and of course, he's completely the wrong person for that job. rishi sunak, was a head boy at winchester . that job. rishi sunak, was a head boy at winchester. he's a head boy at winchester. he's a head boy at winchester. he's a head boy kind of person. he's hardworking. he's dependable. he does what he's told. now that's great, but that's rubbish about it. when it comes to having someone who's the boss and has to make tough decisions and set the tone, he's completely the wrong person. i mean, after the chaos of liz truss, i know why they went for him and i totally get that. but i wouldn't be surprised if they get rid of him now because can it get much

worse? it's going to go downhill anyway. maybe. maybe a fresh start is good. you know, in football when there's a team doomed and relegation looks almost certain , they change the almost certain, they change the manager because you change it and you never know, it might inject a new a new lease of life. so i wouldn't be surprised if they do change leader in the next week or so. >> right? wow. >> right? wow. >> do you think that rishi sunak will be able to move past the d—day debacle ? i'm basing on d—day debacle? i'm basing on that. that answer you just gave that. that answer you just gave that he can't, i don't really think he can. >> i mean, on the positive side, he issued a really, speedy and apparently very sincere apology, which is exactly what you should do and well done for owning it. but the error is so monstrous that i don't think he can recover, you know? you know, jeremy corbyn was unpopular with blue collar voters, and it wasn't his economic policies. it wasn't his economic policies. it wasn't his economic policies. it wasn't his demeanour. it was his perceived lack of patriotism and lack of respect for veterans .

lack of respect for veterans. that was the perception. and rishi sunak is now in the same camp, and i don't believe he can recover from this realistic to imagine that reform could become the second party, then , because, the second party, then, because, i mean, of course, the liberal democrats are interesting. >> ed davey, as you said, is most entertaining. it's been the most entertaining. it's been the most interesting thing so far. but do you think there's a possibility that actually see, nigel is saying that actually he will be the opposition and in fact, the tories should defect to him ? to him? >> well, i mean, ed davey has raised the profile of himself a little bit for lib dems. they're not budging in the polls. reform are the ones to watch. and i think they're polling between 12 and 14% at the moment. but do you know what? if we had proportional representation? i have no doubt that they would be up at 25, which they the parties to the right, further to the right are in in france and belgium and other european countries. so i have no doubt that farage will grow in

popularity until we have pr party like reform , will not party like reform, will not reach those kinds of levels. the 20 to 30. but but categorically reform are onto something the pubuc reform are onto something the public feel overlooked. they're dismissed as populist aren't they. but but people feel overlooked. they're not listened to . overlooked. they're not listened to. immigration is probably overlooked. they're not listened to . immigration is probably the to. immigration is probably the biggest single issue that people talk about when i meet them and reform seem willing to discuss it. and that's really important to be willing to listen. you don't even have to agree to actually discuss it. is so important. so i don't think to answer your question, i'm sorry, reform will not overtake the tories. i don't think, in this and the build up to this election. but if we had pr, it would be miles ahead of the tories . tories. >> and andrew, just before we let you go, i did just want to ask your prediction for what you expect to happen in the red wall at the general election. >> yeah , the red wall. so, >> yeah, the red wall. so, using, using, teesside as an

example area that i know very, very, very well, before 2019, of the seven mps, just one was tory. and then the 2019 election ended with five out of seven people could not believe it. it was a function of brexit, the johnson factor and other and other matters. labour were deeply unpopular. for what i have to tell you is categorically , i am certain that categorically, i am certain that every single one of those five tory mps will be gone. will be gone, on general election day. and i think that will be echoed across the whole country, by the way. but using teesside as an example, a monstrous, monstrous reclaiming of the red wall, building it bigger and actually stronger than ever before. and i think i need to say something that i think that's bad for the north. i'll tell you why. because this labour resurgence is broad based. it's in the south, it's all over the south—east in different parts of the country. so labour is going to have to focus attention, affection and money on the south and that will be at the cost of

the north, in my opinion. >> interesting, interesting what you're saying about reform, though i think there is a potential that they could actually, break through on the even with the proportional representation system . i just, i representation system. ijust, i just feel that there is a, there is an upsurge. and i think the tories have done some catastrophic things, which unfortunately will mean that they may not be a viable party. >> yeah, yeah, yeah . >> yeah, yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. >> well, listen, thank you so much for your thoughts. andy preston . thank you very much. preston. thank you very much. >> very interesting what it was saying about rishi sunak. he thinks rishi sunak will be replaced this week. wow. according to andy preston, the independent mayor, a former independent mayor, a former independent independent mayor of middlesbrough, do you agree with that? gb news. com slash your say we haven't seen the prime minister this weekend. do you think he can bounce back from the d—day debacle or do you think that just was unforgivable? so many people . unforgivable? so many people. >> it'sjust unforgivable? so many people. >> it's just such a bad judgement call. i just can't even look at it and sort of think, who does that? i'm amongst all the world leaders. it is an event that is

commemorating one of the biggest events ever. and i'm going to go off for an interview with itv, a pre—record. yeah it's very, very strange decision. >> it does beg the question who is advising him doesn't it? but do keep your views coming in on that one. gbnews.com/yoursay now let's go to france, shall we? because emmanuel macron says the country needs a clear majority in government for serenity and harmony. it's after his shock decision to call a snap election. well, he made the announcement following a defeat to the far right national rally party in european polls, which has also resulted in belgium's prime minister saying he'll resign. well, gb news reporter charlie peters joins us now. charlie, this is a real gamble from macron here. isn't it gamble? >> and also totally unexpected. it came at a huge surprise across europe and even inside many of the leading commentators in france itself saying, what on earth is going on here? why has he made this call and the lead up to these european elections

is happening and results coming in today. there was almost a panicked approach from macron's renaissance party saying if we don't come out, if there is a low turnout, we risk facing a significant right wing victory . significant right wing victory. but macron has been fighting from a troubled base for many years now. he's the first incumbent president to not have a majority in the assembly since 1997. this is the first hung parliament in france since 1988. and all of that division, that lack of power in macron's hands, has led to several circumstances where he's tried to push through some quite radical reforms from a french perspective and that's been met with a significant pushback just last year, we almost had king charles the third having his first foreign trip to france last march. you'll recall that was cancelled due to significant rioting in paris at the time and indeed across many of the urban centres in the country , because he in the country, because he wanted to raise the pension age, but because he has a minority

rule in the government, he wasn't able to do so. this and many other situations, particularly around immigration, crime and terrorism, the core campaigning messages of the national rally, the right wing party which saw over 32% of the vote last night, has now led to quite a significant difference. what the national rally are saying is an unprecedented difference between the opinions of the people in the country and those in the elite in control, in power. this has led to that schism we saw last night. but it's not just france. we also saw for the first time in austria, their right wing party, top of the polls, their significant gains for geert wilders in the netherlands, the freedom party in sweden, the populists in italy, even the vox party in spain polling around 10. so a surge for right wing parties in europe coming at the expense of the greens and it looks as though macron could be the first significant pro—eu centrist continental leader to really face punishment from those effects. do you think this

this marks the a turning point for the unity of the european union? >> because some people are saying actually, that the european union is under threat. >> the unity of the european union will be under threat if the unity of the right can be achieved, because there are so many splintered groups on the continent and the voting system is different to ours , that can is different to ours, that can work out in their favour in many ways. but there are issues now, particularly in france, about whether or not there is a chance to unite the right, as they say, this national rally party pulling it 32% levels not seen since the second world war and a corner has been turned in france . in the perspective on the national rally for many decades, it was associated with collaboration with the nazis and the second world war. demagoguery, jackboots, anti democratic and all the rest of it. that perspective has shifted quite significantly in recent years. a plurality of french people no longer see the national rally as that great threat, and so if they can continue to gather votes in some parts of the country, 60% of the french were voting for the

national rally last night. that's so—called cordon sanitaire. the protection around them that stops other right wing parties from associating with le pen's party. that's gone. okay the protective film that covers this unit , that group has this unit, that group has completely disappeared. and now i think for the first time since the second world war, there is a realistic possibility of a right wing government in france of that nature. >> wow . charlie peters, thank >> wow. charlie peters, thank you very much. right, let's get an update with your with your weather. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> good morning. welcome to your latest gb news weather from the met office. it's a bit of a cloudy start for many of us this morning, and a damp start to. although there are some drier and brighter interludes on the way. the area of rain that we've seen sinking its way south and eastwards overnight eventually

clears its way towards the southeast, but could lead to some travel disruption during the morning rush hour across eastern parts of england . it's eastern parts of england. it's closely followed behind by plenty of heavy and blustery showers , these perhaps turning showers, these perhaps turning to some longer spells of rain across parts of scotland , parts across parts of scotland, parts of wales and southwest england. seeing the best of the sunshine this afternoon, but temperatures here only around 18 or 19 degrees and struggling to reach much more than the low to mid teens further north. as we go through the rest of monday there, we're still going to be plenty of showers around through the latter half of the afternoon, but parts of southwestern england and wales generally staying that little, little bit drier and brighter. so some late sunshine here, heavy showers still across northern parts of england and maybe 1 or 2 across northern ireland too, but generally staying a little bit cloudier for parts of scotland. and those showers do continue to push in from the north, pushing their way southwards into monday evening and into the start of tuesday. so those showers do continue for a time through monday evening, but they will gradually start to ease overnight, so generally turning dner overnight, so generally turning drier for most of us as we go into the start of tuesday. as

it's turning drier, there will be plenty of clear spells around and that will lead to temperatures dropping a little lower than we saw on the previous night, particularly across the southern half of the uk, where we could see some rural frost in places, particularly in those rural areas, with temperatures dropping down into the low single figures . that does mean single figures. that does mean that tuesday starts a bit of a dner that tuesday starts a bit of a drier and brighter day for many of us. still, 1 or 2 showers around, particularly across parts of scotland and along some eastern coasts. as we head towards the afternoon and some cloud bubbling up as well. so perhaps a bit of a cloudier end to the day. the showers across eastern parts of england, perhaps not quite as heavy as on monday, but temperatures still a little below average for the time of year. only the mid to high teens further south and still in those low double figures further north that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sperm answers of weather on . gb news. >> now it's time for the great british giveaway and your chance to make this summer really special. with over £60,000 worth

ellie. >> welcome back to breakfast now. from today, under new laws, all cats in england must be microchipped and registered on a database. it's hard to believe this hasn't already been the case. actually data from a cats protection survey suggests that 2.2 million cats in england weren't microchipped . weren't microchipped. >> are you a cat or a dog person? dog? >> why do you like cats as well? i like all animals. >> i like cute animals. things are cute face, but cats. cats

are cute face, but cats. cats are cute. they are cute, but they scratch leather. the charity said the owners of about 300,000 cats were not sure if they were microchipped or not, and pet owners found breaking the rules face a 500 fine if they do not comply within 21 days. >> well, joining us now is our yorkshire and humber reporter, anna riley. morning to you anna, and tell us about this new law that's coming into place today. >> good morning. yes well i'm joined by tina lewis. we're here at filey cat rescue. and tina and her family have transformed their home as a cat rescue for 260 cats, including flower , who 260 cats, including flower, who joins us this morning. but yes, that law comes into effect today. it effectively means that within 21 days from today, cat owners have to microchip their cats or else they face a £500 fine. and to according the charity cats protection, they think that around 1.9 million cats in england are still not

chipped. tina, just tell us the importance from your view of having your cat microchipped. >> its major importance because we get so many stray cats or , we get so many stray cats or, you know, just very friendly cats even handed to us or in trouble out there. maybe had an accident, road traffic accident. and if we can scan them, which we do immediately, we can actually notify the owner within minutes , you know, all the data minutes, you know, all the data is, is in, you know, available to us, and we can actually get the owner to us, which is really important. if they've had a road traffic accident, you know, they're going to want to be there with the cat and make decisions and, but, i mean, maybe they've been lost. maybe they've got frightened , they've they've got frightened, they've run away. and, you know, we find them. it would be wonderful if all cats were microchipped. they would all get home really quick in time for tea, bless them. >> and in terms of the process,

it's not that difficult at the vets is it. and it's around 20 to £30. yes. >> yeah. they all vary some of the pet clubs healthy pet club things like you know they, they include with vaccinations, you know, a free microchip. it doesn't hurt them, we do it here all our cats are microchipped before they leave, and any that come in and are reunited with their owners are chipped before they leave also, so that it never happens again. and i can tell you that anyone who actually gets their cat back are absolutely desperate to microchip their cat and just wish they'd done it before. so you know, please do it. definitely. >> and all it is in that chip, it just identifies to the address of the owner. yes, a vet or a charity like phone number. >> really ? phone number, email, >> really? phone number, email, and address and the name of the cat and how old they are. and that's it, you know. and it's as simple as that. you have to

remember, though, to register them. so just because you microchip, you do have to register. register them also . so register. register them also. so it's just a little, you know, a minute job, but many people do forget to do that bit. >> and, and as at the cat rescue, how do you feel with cats now being brought into the same law as dogs? because of course, dogs at the moment you do have to chip your dog already 2016, wasn't it, on every account, cats should be equal to dogs. we love them just as much, you know, they're part of our families and we want them back. basically, if we can get them back and, you know, i feel so sorry for them some, you know, they're really friendly. some of them that come in and they obviously belong to someone and someone's out there missing them. and not all. we can put them. and not all. we can put them on social media. but not all people are on social media. there's, you know, the more older people, you know may not be and, you know, they they're sort of putting posters in shops and things. but but, you know,

it really does make a difference . it'sjust it really does make a difference . it's just a scan, you know. so yeah, it's so important. it really is. and it's and it's cheap as well. it's for a lifetime. you do it once. it's just like a little grain, little grain. and it just goes into the neck. none of them really flinch even, you know. >> so thank you so much tina. and thanks to flower as well. so there we have it. yes, that new rule coming in today. if you're a cat owner and your cat's not microchipped yet to do that or else you face a £500 fine. >> okay. and a really good to see you and flower this morning. he's very chilled there. >> yes. >> yes. >> flower. bless flower. thank you very much. >> yes. right. stay with us. still to come, we'll be speaking to shadow schools minister catherine

next. >> welcome back to breakfast. the time is 836, and we can cross live now to shadow schools minister kat mckinnell, who joins us on the programme now. good to see you this morning, kat. and you're here today to announce 3000 new school based nurseries. this is the new labour child care plan . many labour child care plan. many people i'm sure will welcome this news, but they'll be asking how are you going to fund it? >> so yes, we are , delighted to >> so yes, we are, delighted to be able to announce a plan for how to deliver on the childcare places that the government have already promised an awful lot of families, but unfortunately, many are finding there just aren't the places available in their area to be able to access it. and we know how important childcare is not just for a child's development, so that they have that opportunity to be in a really good quality early setting and be school ready when the time comes. but also for parents to get out to work and be able to really improve their standard of living as well . so

standard of living as well. so in terms of the proposal, it's to really utilise some of the space that's emerging in our school system because we have a falling birth rate currently that it's working its way through our primary system, and to use some of that capacity that's there, and to fund the conversion into nursery places and also ensure that we can ensure the high quality staffing of that childcare support as well, and we'll pay for this by closing the loopholes on, private schools, the current vat and business rates exemptions that they have. this is part part of what that money will go towards. and it will really help towards. and it will really help to build that childcare care of the future that we're very keen to ensure that every family has access to . access to. >> so. so this is going to be, funded with the is this a 20% vat that you're going to charge the private schools. so is that will raise about 1.7 billion. we

heard earlier from labour that they were actually going to get a 6500 more teachers as well. so is that over a parliament or is that every year if you're going to use that money also to fund the nurseries and 6500 teachers. and emily thornberry yesterday talked about using that for breakfast clubs as well. so could you just sort of clarify that for us? >> yes. happy to . so, in terms >> yes. happy to. so, in terms of the private school , yes, of the private school, yes, you're right, it will raise between well, we think a conservative estimate is 1.3 to 1.5 billion, and that will ensure that will be an annual amount that will be raised from that , tax that we will impose. that, tax that we will impose. and we really want to use that money to fund additional teachers in our state schools, and also to now support as well this change in, the, the schools that we need to make to ensure we have the childcare places

because it's, it's so important that not only, if we're going to really fund our state sector, which we want to do with this change in the taxation that we put that money in at the earliest point possible. and so part of that will be funding early speech and language therapy making sure we have the teaching workforce we need, but also making sure we have these childcare places in terms of the breakfast clubs that has that will be paid for from clamping down on tax avoidance. we know the government took up some of our proposals on closing down the loopholes that non—dom enjoy, the super rich, and also have said that they're going to clamp down on some of the tax dodging that goes on. and but we have a much more , comprehensive have a much more, comprehensive plan that will bring in additional revenue from those measures. and so we want to see those go towards funding our state sector in, in general from right from the early years , right from the early years, right from the early years, right through to, when, when children leave secondary school,

where we know there's a massive shortage of teachers at the moment, particularly in specialist subjects like maths. >> so, sorry, could you just come back onto the thing? where is it , 6500 come back onto the thing? where is it, 6500 more come back onto the thing? where is it , 6500 more teachers over come back onto the thing? where is it, 6500 more teachers over a parliament or a year ? because i parliament or a year? because i just wanted to clarify that . just wanted to clarify that. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> so i mean, obviously the revenue, will be raised on an annual basis, but we want to see 6500 more teachers generally in our in our state school system, we've seen that the government are missing their recruitment targets. year on year for teachers filling the places that they need to within our state system. so we need to see an injection of activity to ensure that we have the teaching workforce we need. i mean, the other side of this is we need to make sure that schools are places where teachers want to work, that they're an attractive place to be, that children want to be as well. and so making sure that we have sufficient workforce will also stop so many teachers leaving . we see a large

teachers leaving. we see a large problem with retention. as much as recruitment. so we want to see that across the board. but obviously as we invest in the early years , so we invest in early years, so we invest in this childcare pledge. and we've seen that the government have made some proposals, quite ambitious proposals on on childcare places, but unfortunately just have not had a plan to actually deliver those places in practice. so we have come up with this plan. we have very clear means to fund it, and we're really hoping to get into government on july the 5th and get on with starting this work of making sure that children have the childcare places that they need and families have that childcare support they need to get into work . get into work. >> concern for you that you have a long list of pledges now that are essentially based on taxes, that people do not necessarily need to pay . there's new need to pay. there's new research out this morning that says, more than a quarter of parents would remove their children from private school if this vat on private school fees

comes in. so you could instantly lose huge amounts of money from parents just simply not wanting to pay that. and then on the loopholes of the non—dom tax status, well, those very rich individuals could simply jet off to monaco, couldn't they? so you are heavily reliant on two taxes there that people don't necessarily need to pay. and that must really concern you . that must really concern you. >> so, these have been very carefully costed , the in terms carefully costed, the in terms of the vat on private schools, i know that there's been a lot of scaremongering amongst the private schools , about the private schools, about the impact that might occur as a result of some of these tax changes. but in reality, we've seen private school fees go up and up and up above inflation for many years, and we have not seen any reduction in the number of children attending. so there is no evidence that it would have the impact that has been suggested. >> can i just interrupt? yes. you may say that they've gone up, but you're talking about a

20% immediately. there are already some schools, so tring park , you've got alton school. park, you've got alton school. there are many schools that are saying this is the last straw. and those pupils will then flood the state sector . what provision the state sector. what provision have you got? because even the obr are looking at this policy and saying it may not raise the money. and if it doesn't, suggesting that you scrap it. and what about the teachers out of work as well? even the unions who are traditionally labour based or supporters are looking at this and are concerned about it . it. >> so i think it's very important to recognise that private schools are businesses and they need to, you know, make sure that they're not pricing themselves out of the market and themselves out of the market and the ability for parents to pay. and i think that means making potentially some decisions about how they spend, the money and their income. and it may be that they need to absorb some of this cost, you know, in terms of vat and can, can, you know, cut their cloth accordingly, which is what many state schools have

had to do for many years. and the gap in funding for a child attending state school, as opposed to a child attending a private school, has grown significantly because of these above inflation rises that we've seen for parents, and obviously that their decisions that private schools will have to make in terms of the assessment, i think the institute for fiscal studies did a really thorough report, which we're relying on in terms of, what we believe will be the impacts of this policy. and we know that there is the capacity within the state sector for any child that needs to attend. and i think one thing we need to make sure is, though, that we have a much more coordinated system of making sure that there are places in our school system and they're available in the right places as well. and, and we think the local authorities will have a really important role in that. and they have always traditionally. but we think that the rules need to be changed to make sure that local authorities really do work closely with the whole local school community to make sure that the places are in the right place. and in terms of the right place. and in terms of the tax dodging , we know i mean,

the tax dodging, we know i mean, the tax dodging, we know i mean, the government admit there's a huge amount to go at here. and i think it's about resourcing, it's about prioritisation , and it's about prioritisation, and it's about prioritisation, and it's about prioritisation, and it's about also clamping down on people who really are super rich and not paying their fair share. and we know the government took up a part of labour's proposal of clamping down on, you know, the super rich who don't pay their fair share of taxes here, but they left some gaping loopholes that we think should still be closed. so there's a huge amount to go out here. and really it's a matter of fairness and choice. and these are choices that a labour government would make to ensure not only that people are paying their fair share of tax, but that that taxation revenue is being spent where it can have most effect, and that is for our children who are coming through from the earliest years that we know are struggling within our state system, and are not getting the teaching and the support that they need. our schools are brilliant, but there's a limit to what they can do if they don't have the full workforce that they need. and so we need to make that decision about how we pay for that, because it

really is an investment, not just in those children, but it's an investment in our in our whole future as a country. all right. well, listen, i mean, as you know, you said there businesses, there's private schools, as you know, if they fold, then you won't get the money if they, you know, and also, with regard to some of those non—doms in the very rich people, they often find another loophole. so, you know, it'll be interesting to see what happens with regard to that. kate mckinnon, thank you very much. good to talk to you. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. we're also going to be hearing from the tories in the next hour on the tories in the next hour on the programme as well. so do stay us us after the we' re we're going to be going

next. >> good morning. right. joining us to go through what's making the news is former editor of the daily star. dawn neesom. as a broadcaster. paula london. all right, dawn, you've got an education story . yeah.

education story. yeah. >> just obviously i know we're short of time, this is a times education commission, which is a study they've been looking at over a year now, and it's a poll of education experts and parents, and only a fifth of voters think schools prepare children for the world of work, compared with two thirds who believe the education system does not give pupils the skills they need for the job. and this is talking about practical things like, you know, how to manage basic, basic household budgets , how to cook nutritious budgets, how to cook nutritious mortgages. yeah, mortgages, how to do all the stuff you actually the tools you really need in life. and also failing to prepare children, children's mental health for coping with the real world as well. you know, i mean, wrapping them up in cotton wool and saying, you know, you know, everyone's going to be nice to you because the real world isn't like that, unfortunately. so it's a very interesting survey. whether actually anyone does anything about it is not. but is another question. but i mean, it's like, you know, i do fear for the children who have been brought up sometimes , you know, in the up sometimes, you know, in the cotton wool world, and they go out into the real life and it's

going to be a real struggle. >> mental health surveys, they keep doing surveys, but then there's nothing happening. yeah. well, that's after the survey. yeah, paula, should we have a look at this story in the mail? it's about brits behaving badly. >> yeah. i mean, so many stories are saying how badly the brits are saying how badly the brits are behaving in majorca, but i think some brits will be pleased to know. apparently the germans are even worse. and one of the main roads now in majorca is called beer and ham street. but the germans aren't getting drunk on a pint of beer with a full english. they're just having lots of sausages and copious amounts of beer and shots and apparently the locals. it's quite interesting because i always think a lot of people don't like the brits too much because of brexit, etc, but the locals are saying they can't ban the germans because the eu will go crazy. so it's okay to say bad things about the brits, but they're more cautious about people when they're from europe. so yeah, they're causing problems. they're buying a lot of houses as well in the area, which were predominantly for the locals. so yeah, it's not all the brits. the germans are getting. >> well, the amount of the amount of germans that own second homes in majorca in

particular is through the roof. and, you know, when i was on the tabloids every summer, if you splashed on the germans and the beach towels on the, on the sunbeds, you would sell loads of papers. so. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> dawn, i want to ask you about this one. the key to athletic success. this one research finds malevolent traits could be the key to success. >> we both like our sport and our fitness, don't we? nana. that's why i picked this one, obviously you've got the our, the european championships going on at rome at the moment. the olympics start in paris next month, but research by nottingham trent university, the study is in athletic coach relationships but has shown sort of like, you know, the things we regard as the malevolent traits, i.e. narcissism , psychopathy and i.e. narcissism, psychopathy and machiavellianism. all these traits are perceived negatively in the real world, but for athletes, they actually make you athletes, they actually make you a better athlete. and it's like if you you can apply this to most big, big businesses. i mean, in fleet street, if everyone got to the top in fleet street was basically a psychopath. and i think there's been studies into ceos of big

companies as well . most of them companies as well. most of them have psychopathic tendencies as well. i mean, jaywalk ceos, a lot of psychopaths. >> so you sort of slightly have to be, wouldn't you, to be able to be, wouldn't you, to be able to just focus and get on with it, close everything off? >> yeah. you have to be very, very driven. >> yeah. it's not always i mean, not all psychopaths commit murderer, not all murderers, psychopaths. so you know, it doesn't always have to be a bad thing, but you have to be very, very driven. but there are some crazy athletes, you know, remember the ice skating story when they were very competitive? oh, god. so that was yes. yes. maim someone. and then obviously some people. yeah. take. >> yeah. what's her name. >> yeah. what's her name. >> things they shouldn't take when they're running to improve. they don't want to lose. maybe that's because they've got psychopathic tendencies and can't bear to lose. but yeah. no, i think it's not always a bad thing. >> i, while we're on it quickly, dina asher—smith last night, 100m gold, first medal in five years. congratulations. you're not a psychopath. just brilliant athlete, very well said, dawn . athlete, very well said, dawn. we didn't even get a chance for sport this hour because we're talking to the labour party, so i'm glad that you covered that news for us as well. we needed

that really good to see you both this morning. dawn neesom and paula london. really good to have your company right. >> well keep your thoughts coming gbnews.com forward slash your say. we'd love to hear your thoughts and comments on all the news that we bring you. but now let's get an update from your weather with ellie glaisyer . weather with ellie glaisyer. >> looks like things are heating up. boxt boilers. sponsors of weather on gb news is . weather on gb news is. >> good morning. welcome to your latest gb news weather from the met office. it's a bit of a cloudy start for many of us this morning, and a damp start too, although there are some drier and brighter interludes on the way. the area of rain that we've seen sinking its way south and eastwards overnight eventually clears its way towards the southeast, but could lead to some travel disruption during the morning rush hour across eastern parts of england. its closely followed behind by plenty of heavy and blustery showers. these perhaps turning to some longer spells of rain across parts of scotland. parts

of wales and southwest england seeing the best of the sunshine this afternoon, but temperatures here only around 18 or 19 degrees and struggling to reach much more than the low to mid teens further north, as we go through the rest of monday there, we're still going to be plenty of showers around through the latter half of the afternoon, but parts of southwestern england and wales generally staying that little, little bit drier and brighter . little bit drier and brighter. so some late sunshine here. heavy showers still across northern parts of england, and maybe 1 or 2 across northern ireland too. but generally staying a little bit cloudier for parts of scotland. and those showers do continue to push in from the north, pushing their way southwards into monday evening and into the start of tuesday . so those showers do tuesday. so those showers do continue for a time through monday evening, but continue for a time through monday evening , but they will monday evening, but they will gradually start to ease overnight, so generally turning dner overnight, so generally turning drier for most of us as we go into the start of tuesday . as into the start of tuesday. as it's turning drier, there will be plenty of clear spells around and that will lead to temperatures dropping a little lower than we saw on the previous night, particularly across the southern half of the uk, where we could see some rural frost in places,

particularly in those rural areas with temperatures dropping down into the low single figures, that does mean that tuesday starts a bit of a drier and brighter day for many of us. still, 1 or 2 showers around, particularly across parts of scotland and along some eastern coasts as we head towards the afternoon and some cloud bubbung afternoon and some cloud bubbling up as well. so perhaps a bit of a cloudier end to the day. the showers across eastern parts of england, perhaps not quite as heavy as on monday, but temperatures still a little below average for the time of yeah below average for the time of year. only the mid to high teens further south and still in those low double figures further north, a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on

gb news. >> way . >> way. >> way. >> a very good morning to you. it is 9:00 on monday, the 10th of june. >> now , this is breakfast with

>> now, this is breakfast with ellie costello and me. nana akua. here's what's leading the news this morning. the prime minister continues to avoid media scrutiny over the weekend, as the conservatives today pledged to recruit 8000 new police officers will be speaking to policing minister chris philp. philip in just a moment. >> labour pledges to help working parents by creating 3000 new school based nurseries , and new school based nurseries, and the liberal democrats are set to be the first party to launch their manifesto today, with the tories and labour to follow on later in the week . tributes later in the week. tributes continue to flow in for tv doctor michael mosley after his body was found after a five day search in greece . search in greece. >> a night of election bombshells in europe as emmanuel macron calls a snap french election as right wing parties surge . surge. >> hello. it's a cloudy and damp start for many of us this morning, but there is some sunshine on the way this

afternoon. join me later for the full forecast with all the details. >> well, let's start with politics, shall we? because it's not just election fever here in the uk, but also across the continent as well. >> and over the weekend, the prime minister continued to dodge the media in the aftermath of the d—day debacle. >> but nonetheless, today, the conservatives have promised a new £650 million policing plan, which would put 8000 new officers on the street, whilst labour today are promising to save parents £400 a year as they commit to delivering free breakfast clubs in primary schools. and it's also a big day for the liberal democrats, as ed davey is set to launch his party's manifesto later on this morning. the first of the major parties to do so . and with no parties to do so. and with no prime minister doing the rounds, tory chair richard holden was forced to face the media during a bit of a car crash interview

yesterday. let's take a listen . yesterday. let's take a listen. >> how would you how do you answer the charge? it just looks like an appalling stitch up. and you are part of a self—serving elite. >> this interview is about emily thornberry's comments today, and when she admitted that it's going to be our children across the country who pay the price for labour's decision, i come back to the question. >> it looks like a stitch up chairman of the party. short list of one just before nominations close . how is that nominations close. how is that not an appalling stitch up? an anti—democratic sukh, emily thornberry today has a completely admitted so you can't justify , by the way you have justify, by the way you have been parachuted into basildon and billericay. you're not denying it's a stitch up and it's anti—democratic. >> emily thornberry today has admitted stop you now. >> this is ridiculous. this is ridiculous. you said in an interview earlier this year you were bloody loyal to the northeast. what happened to that

, john, i've already answered these questions. >> no, you haven't . >> no, you haven't. >> no, you haven't. >> well, gb news political correspondent olivia utley joins us now. very good morning to you, olivia . i mean, the optics you, olivia. i mean, the optics of this are really not good, are they? richard holden being refusing quite frankly, there to be held to account. and then we haven't even seen the prime minister this weekend . minister this weekend. >> yeah. the optics are pretty bad for the conservative party. that was a thoroughly embarrassing interview with richard holden there. he claims that there were questions that had been agreed in advance. and the sky political correspondent who we heard speaking there had gone off script. but from other correspondents, we hear that that actually isn't the case. so it does seem to be a case of richard holden simply refusing to answer this question. holden won his seat in the north east of england and a shock victory in 2019. it was one of those red wall seats which weren't expected to turn conservative, and polling really suggests that it's going to go back to labour

in this election. so holden appears to have managed to get himself selected for a much safer seat over in essex . safer seat over in essex. meanwhile, of course, we have heard radio silence from the prime minister over the weekend after his d—day gaffe last week. he is going to be back on the airwaves later today, with the conservatives launching their new police bobbies on the beat policy. they're planning to up the number of police officers in local communities by 8000 to bnng local communities by 8000 to bring the number back up to pre 2010 levels. that's likely to go down very well with the sort of conservative base that blue wall, and particularly as it's going to be paid for by increasing the cost of health care for students coming into the uk, and also by raising the cost of visas . so the cost of visas. so the conservatives are really hoping that today their election campaign might get back on track. but there's a very long way to go . way to go. >> well over to the labour party now . they are, looking to have ,

now. they are, looking to have, new nursery places. they're about to announce something today that will be very interesting. we did speak earlier to one of the shadow ministers with regard to education, to find out more about that policy , what can you about that policy, what can you tell us about what labour's plans are ? plans are? >> labour is promising to increase the number of schools with nurseries attached to them. essentially what bridget phillipson, the shadow education secretary, wants to do is integrate early years care . at integrate early years care. at the moment we have separate childcare for children under school age and then children go into schools. labour wants to see that all amalgamated together, and they hope that that would mean a more smooth transition for parents and children going from the nursery stage to the primary school stage to the primary school stage . they also want labour to stage. they also want labour to introduce breakfast clubs across the country, free for primary school aged children. now that is a very, very costly policy

indeed and it will be really, really interesting to see in that manifesto, which will be launched on thursday. exactly how they're planning to pay for it at the moment, we've heard that they're planning to pay for it through, scrapping vat exemption for private schools. but of course, that that, that spending commitment has been promised to a lot of different policy areas. so i think there's going to be all eyes on rachel reeves on thursday as we see a more thorough breakdown. everyone in westminster says that she is a sort of mass financial wiz kid that's going to be put to the test on thursday. >> yes. well, we certainly is. >> yes. well, we certainly is. >> we're just supposed to cut mckinnel. and she said that they would fund it with some tax evasion. people evading tax as well. so that we'll see how that goes down. >> but olivia, as you say it is, it is the week of the manifestos, isn't it. and we've got the lib dems launching theirs today. any idea of what we can expect in that manifesto ? we can expect in that manifesto? >> well, i think what we're what we're going to see from the lib dems is more about schools and

more about , dems is more about schools and more about, helping mental health practitioners in primary schools and secondary schools across the country. that's one of ed davey big election themes. we've also heard from ed davey over the weekend. he's done a very moving interview about his son, who has severe learning difficulties . he's 16 years old difficulties. he's 16 years old and something that ed davey is really passionate about and what i think will feed through into the lib dem manifesto is improving care for children with severe learning difficulties, making it much easier for parents to access that sort of care. again there will be eyes on how these policies are planning to be costed because actually some of the lib dem commitments are even more expensive. go even further than what labour has promised. but like keir starmer, ed davey has promised that the liberal democrats wouldn't raise any of the big three taxes. so national insurance, income tax or vat. obviously we're not expecting the liberal democrats to come to

power. so in a way it's not quite so important how their manifesto is costed, but of course, we could realistically end up in a situation if the polls were to narrow over the next few weeks where labour is incapable of getting a full majority and would need the liberal democrats on side in some sort of pact or official coalition, in which case ed davey's manifesto could end up being very important indeed . being very important indeed. >> olivia utley, thank you very much. that's olivia utley gb news political correspondent. >> now, throughout the election campaign, we'll be hearing from people across the united kingdom about what really matters to you. >> and today we meet marie carmen from leamington spa. >> my name is marie carmen . carmen from leamington spa. >> my name is marie carmen. i'm 32 and i'm from leamington spa. i'm a health and fitness coach for moms, and i used to be a nurse at the birmingham children's hospital. so i know the government have announced the government have announced the fact that they're going to increase child care hours for children younger. and actually, i think my son, who is now one, qualifies for that in september. so i really hope that continues. also, more support around

enterprise. you know, i'm currently raising investment for my business and the way the economy is at the moment, the climate, it's quite hard. i know there are things around ipsis eyes, but i think if businesses could have more support to grow, you know, financially that would be that would be really helpful. i've got three small children, two at school, one at nursery. you know, cost of living is huge, like our food bill, if i'm lucky to get it under £100 a week, you know, and i cook from scratch, i'd be, you know, i'm lucky. so i think more help , you lucky. so i think more help, you know, with day to day things, you know, when is actually food pnces you know, when is actually food prices going to come down. i know speaking to a lot of my clients, they find the same, you know, just day to day things. if you want to take your children on activities, you want to go on holiday, just everything feels really inaccessible at the moment. when i was nursing, i used to vote labour. you know, they have always been the party for the nhs, for, you know , for the nhs, for, you know, teachers and stuff. so i hope that, you know, i hope that is the case if conservative can demonstrate more for, you know, enterprise and those key things

that i've just spoke about potentially them , but if i'm potentially them, but if i'm being completely honest with you, i'm not a massive fan of keir starmer. so, i don't know . keir starmer. so, i don't know. >> murray thinks we're going to be hearing from lots of gb news viewers throughout the course of this election campaign. well, let's speak now to minister of state for crime , policing and state for crime, policing and fire, chris philp, who joins us now . good to see you this now. good to see you this morning, chris. and before we get into policing, which i know you're here to talk about, i just wanted to ask if we can expect to hear or see from the prime minister today, because he's been in hiding over the weekend, hasn't he? after the d—day debacle ? d—day debacle? >> well, i'm not sure about hiding, but i would expect i don't know what his schedule is today, but i would expect him to be out and about meeting voters and journalists, somewhere , up and journalists, somewhere, up and journalists, somewhere, up and down the uk today. so i'm sure we'll see him energetically, bouncing around on the campaign trail. >> all right, chris, so can you outline the conservative plan then for crime and policing? because i know you were talking

about recruiting more police officers. so can you tell us what your what can expect on your manifesto with regard to that ? that? >> well, so first of all, it's worth saying that we've already got record ever numbers of police officers last year we had 149,000 officers. that's more than we've ever had before at any time in this country's history . and at the same time, history. and at the same time, according to the office for national statistics overall crime is falling. but we'd like to go further. and that's what today's announcement is about. and firstly, we are pledging to recruit another 8000 police officers on top of the record numbers. we've already got those extra 8000 officers will be dedicated to neighbourhood policing. that means patrolling your local high street, patrolling the areas where where you and me and our your listeners and viewers live visibly patrolling, catching criminals, preventing crime , and criminals, preventing crime, and reassuring the public in order to make sure that those crime figures, which are overall crime figures, which are overall crime

figures, which are falling, continue to fall. we're also giving the police more powers . giving the police more powers. for example, if someone's mobile phone's been stolen and the find my iphone or other mobile phone's, of course, are available , tells you where that available, tells you where that phone is. available, tells you where that phoneis.the available, tells you where that phone is. the public expect the police to go and retrieve it straight away. now, sometimes that currently requires a magistrate's warrant. we'll give them powers to go and retrieve that stolen phone, straight away. we're also going to be banning things like signal jammers that are used to steal some higher end cars. and we're going to be increasing the sentences for supplying, knives to young people. so a whole package of measures to fight crime. but most importantly, an extra 8000 police officers on top of the record numbers that we already have. >> you need a more holistic approach, though , to fighting approach, though, to fighting crime, don't you? it's all well and good talking about bobbies on the beat and having more of a presence on the streets. we've got a massive backlog in our courts. we've got prisons at capacity, those prisons falling down in an awful state of

disrepair. we need to look at the judicial system, don't we? we need to look at the prison system. there needs to be reform in in so many sectors in order to actually tackle crime. >> well, we've got more people in prison now than ever before because the police have done a good job in arresting criminals, and sentences now are generally longer. i know my colleagues in the ministry of justice who are responsible for prisons are in the process of building 20,000 extra prison places. i think about 5900 of those extra prison places will be on stream by the end of next year. but we're also in addition to just the extra police, we're giving them new technology that catches criminals as well. for example, live facial recognition catches wanted criminals who haven't previously been caught. they can get picked up when they walk down the street. we've been trialling this, at my request in croydon, the borough that i represent in parliament and in just the last few months , just the last few months, croydon police have caught the most recent figure i got from the borough superintendent last week was 135, wanted criminals

have been caught and arrested. one man was wanted for two rapes, one dating back to 2017. so that new technology is helping to catch criminals who would not otherwise be caught. >> well, chris, that's great, but what are you going to do with the prisoners when these people, when you catch them? because labour have unveiled their plans to build more prisons, they're going to bypass planning laws to do it. but where are we going to put these, these, these people with this wonderful new police and all these crimes, where are the prisoners going to go? you are releasing people, planning to release people from jail early just to make up space. >> well, i've already said a second ago that my colleagues in the ministry of justice who run the ministry of justice who run the prison system are in the process as we speak , of building process as we speak, of building 20,000 extra prison places . and 20,000 extra prison places. and of those extra 20,000 places, 5900 will be ready by the end of next year. and just to give that context, the prison population is currently just over 80,000. so 20,000 extra places when

they're all built is like a almost a one quarter, 25% increase in the number of prison places in total. so the moj are working on that, are working on that as we speak. >> i wanted to ask you about your colleague, richard holden, the chairman of the party. he was questioned and, over the weekend about being parachuted in to basildon and billericay. that safe seat in essex, a shortlist of one. the chairman of the tory party. he was asked whether it was undemocratic . he whether it was undemocratic. he would not answer the question. he would not be held to account. the optics on this are not good, are they? if you've got the chairman of the party refusing to answer questions about being parachuted into a safe seat, they've got the prime minister pulling out of media interviews on saturday and essentially going into hiding over the weekend , over the weekend. weekend, over the weekend. >> well, i mean, the prime minister will be out and about this week meeting the public and talking to journalists, in terms of the party chairman, richard

holden, i think he has spoken to a number of journalists since the selection. and, of course, there are i think when he went before the party membership or the party's executive in basildon and billericay, there was a vote and he was unanimously adopted. now because it was very short notice. it was just, a very short time before the nomination deadline, there was a there was a he was the only candidate put forward because of that very short time frame, but you know, when you get a snap election and some seats, haven't selected, it's a bit of a scramble. and so you get these emergency rules, sometimes used, but i'm sure you're going to see. i'm sure richard holden will be giving lots of interviews in the coming weeks. i'm sure he'd be delighted to come on, to gb news as well as i, as i always am. >> that's funny. chris, why should anyone trust you after you guys have been running this thing for the last 14 years, things feel like they are pretty bad . why should anyone trust bad. why should anyone trust that under the tories , things that under the tories, things will be any better ? will be any better? >> well, let's look at some of

the facts. you know, when labour left office 14 years ago, unemployment was 8. it's now gone to down 4. we've just recently jumped up, you know. thanks. partly to our brexit trade freedoms, we've jumped up. we're now the world's fourth largest, exporter. we were seventh previously. so our exports and our trade is surging, our gdp growth, the growth in our economy in the first quarter of this year was joint top in the g7. and the imf forecast that in the coming years, if we have good conservative policies, we're going to be i think our growth is going to exceed that of, france and italy. and i think even germany as well. we're cutting taxes, national insurance, we've just cut that this year by £900 for the average working person, a big tax cut. we now, after all of the difficulties of covid and the difficulties of covid and the war in ukraine globally, high inflation, it's not just a problem in the uk, it's a problem in the uk, it's a problem around the world. we've now got wages consistent, growing faster than inflation, wages growing at about 6, inflation now down to about 2.3.

so all of those things i think are important to achieve. and also crime i mean we talked about crime record police numbers and crime has halved since 2010. those are all achievements that we can be i think as a party proud of. we've also got a plan for the future reducing immigration, for example, whereas keir starmer has no plan at all. that was painfully exposed during that tv debate last week. he was asked about, you know, what are you going to do about the cost of living pressures that are being faced around the world and he did not have. keir starmer did not have an answer to that question. there are so many questions where keir starmer has nothing to say. he is going to come under a lot of pressure in the coming weeks to answer those questions. he can't be seriously asking to become prime minister with no plan. we do have a plan. it is working and i'm confident about taking that message to the pubuc about taking that message to the public across the country through interviews like this. but also in my own neighbourhood in croydon as well . in croydon as well. >> okay. chris philp, minister of state for crime, policing and fire. good to see you this morning. thank you very much indeed. >> and as chris mentioned, his

constituency of croydon south, here are the other candidates in the seat for reform uk . it's bob the seat for reform uk. it's bob bromley. green is elaine garrett liberal democrats, richard howard, workers party of britain, colson hussain, conservative chris philp, independent mark samuel and labour ben taylor. >> yes, and we also mentioned the seat of basildon and billericay in essex . so here are billericay in essex. so here are the candidates standing. they're the candidates standing. they're the british democratic party , the british democratic party, christopher bateman standing for them. reform uk stephen connolly, green, stuart josh howie, labour. alex harrison, conservative. richard holden, trade unionist and socialist coalition party dave murray, liberal democrat edward sainsbury. >> well still to come, we'll be taking a look to britain's newsroom what promises to be a very busy show. but that's next. this

gb news. >> now, britain's newsroom is coming up at 930. andrew pierce and bev turner are here to tell us all about it. morning, you two. >> morning. well, division in the labour party over this. private schools vat policy, isn't it? they're going to start tearing a strip out of each other. >> well, credit to camilla tominey. yesterday because she got. and what's her name? emily thornberry, the shadow attorney general. to admit that there will be bigger class sizes as a result of 40 odd thousand kids being taken out of private schools, slapped down today by bridget phillipson, the shadow education secretary, said she's wrong. i don't think she is wrong. i don't think she is wrong. i don't think she is wrong. i think she's let the cat out the bag. if you're closed out the bag. if you're closed out with 40,000, we think kids and that's just a conservative estimate. it's a conservative estimate. it's a conservative estimate. estimate and what they're trying to say labour is oh, but the falling birth rate, well that doesn't help you if your kid's 14 and you have to take him or her out of a private school because you can't pay the vat that they were going to put on there, it's going to be a chaotic effect on state schools, but also the obr are questioning it as well.

>> now they want to raise 1.7 billion and unions are now looking at it and going well, the teachers aren't happy. if they lose their job, they're going to lose their jobs. >> yeah. and this idea that all these schools have got empty classroom places, i bet people watching this thinking i can't get my child into the school want. >> and it's about the school you want. that's the key, because it's this policy will take away choice. so there are a lot of parents who send their kids maybe to the local fee paying school because they don't like the local state school. they can't get them in the state school that they want to go to. it's a myth that it's all gazillionaires who've got their kids at private school. it won't affect the gazillionaires the billionaires kids will. >> still, eton will be fine. there won't be. a child will be taken out of eton. >> it's the doctors, the lawyers, the teachers that people who are in the professions, who invest their money in their children's education, not always because they want to, but because they feel like the local school maybe doesn't suit the needs of that particular child. >> it's a kick right in your aspirations. >> this a kick in your aspirations. >> there was a piece in the telegraph. >> it smacks of class envy. >> it smacks of class envy. >> yeah. emily thornberry's
