had to neutralise the threat from the cow so that he didn't run onto the a316 round the corner, a 50 mile an hour road and take out 16 cars, didn't he? no, no. >> could he could they not have got a vet there who could have fired a tranquilliser into the cow? it was only a baby cow. apparently it swum across lake. >> it had done quite a journey to get to that point, but come on. i mean, even james cleverly waded in yesterday to milk this story, milking it for all it's worth, milking, no pun. yeah. gbnews.com/yoursay is the site to get in touch with us. the comments page. you can talk to each other as well. first, though, here's the latest news with tatiana sanchez. >> bev, thank you very much. and good morning. the top stories from the gb newsroom. reform uk will launch what it's calling a contract with voters later today after the party's leader, nigel farage, refused to call it a manifesto . the party's promising manifesto. the party's promising to freeze all non—essential immigration and take britain out

andrew and bev. >> good morning. it's another lovely monday morning. this is britain's newsroom on gb news with me. bev turner and andrew. what have you lost, pen. oh, right. okay, good. >> can't work without a pen now, did you see this at the weekend? >> so there was a calf. it was run down by a surrey police car. it's now being nursed back to health. according to the family who owned the farm that the calf escaped from. >> well, he didn't just he didn't run him over once. he ran him over twice. >> no, we're not showing you the footage. the footage is really shocking. it was on friday night. this was. and obviously the footage emerged on social media on saturday morning because these days you can't do anything without somebody filming it. and putting it on the social media. so the police officer who was driving this vehicle has now been taken off front line duties until a full investigation is completed. and i feel like i'm yet again in one of these situations where i'm the only person in the country who thinks the police officer was just doing his job, i, i

think i think what i'd have done was called a vet. >> there's an emergency numbers for vets everywhere, but police have access to them of tranquilliser could have put that calf out of its misery. >> but by that point. so you call a vet. the vet arrives. the vet has to then restrain the threat . threat. >> a tranquilliser straight out. what is it? >> dart it across the a316. >> dart it across the a316. >> well, you know, i just, i just really uncomfortable. >> look it clearly wasn't a good day for the cow. we can all conclude that. and it wasn't a good day for anybody looking on. but that police officer, probably a young guy who's got dual carriageways left, right and centre in that area. do you know what the most popular business is in that area in feltham? mcdonald's drive through. it's got a queue around the block. any time you go around that area and all those people queuing for mcdonald's who are now outraged at this poor cow had to die because it's going to be at mcdonald's at some point. at some point it was going to die. i'm really sorry. if you eat meat, you can't be upset by a cow dying. i think the fast roads with cars at 10:00 at night in the dark,

they're not expecting a cow to walk out in the middle of the night. there would have been a massive pile up. then they'd been like, who knows how many people dead? and then the police would have been criticised for not neutralising the threat. >> the thing is, it was because he did. why? you could see the first time the calf could barely stand up. i just don't get why i had to then go and do it a second time. that's when i eamonn the line. >> maybe he just thought, i've got to put it out of its misery. i thought, oh, he's whacked it. he's giving it a right whack there. that's that's got a bit of a headache wedged under the number plate. but then it neutralised the threat. it wasn't going anywhere, was he? once he had his head under the number plate, why did he need to do it again? well, i suppose at that point it's a bit like if you run over like a deer on the side of the road, you know, and if the police, they're going to, they're going to kill the animal to put it out of its misery. that's all i can presume. and the guy's not trained. this is feltham. it isn't texas. he's not going to come out with a lasso. he doesn't know what to do in feltham. feltham >> how did the calf get to fell?

>> how did the calf get to fell? >> well, well, this is what i'm also wondering. well, how i don't really know how i recall seeing many cattle farms. >> infoterm. >> infoterm. >> infoterm. >> i don't know either. >> i don't know either. >> maybe you live in that area. >> maybe you live in that area. >> i'm sure the inbox is now going to be full of people saying, bev, you're outrageous. >> there'll be no there will be people who agree with you. but i if i if it had been done once, that was enough. but i don't think it needed to do it the second time, because i think that cow was about to come to keel over. now, talking of, did you watch let us know your thoughts. >> do you know what? if you're a mum with kids, sunday nights are busy. you haven't got 90 minutes to sit down and luxuriate in football. >> another 90 minutes now because apparently every time the blooming they stop the ball, they add extra time. it goes on for about hours. >> now this is true. >> now this is true. >> well england won. we beat serbia one nil in the opening match because they're apparently one of the weakest teams in the competition. is that right? so you do know something about football. so in radio, 20 year old jude bellingham. jude bellingham scored the only goal of the game. many of the papers this morning are calling him the perfect ten. >> so of course politicians cannot let a major event like this get underway without getting involved. so here's rishi sunak if you're listening on the radio. he's in his jeans.

he's got a t shirt hanging out from under his jumper to try and cool with the lads. there appears to be a pint glass of something in front of him. he's teetotal. he tweeted this tense finish, but they got the job done.jude finish, but they got the job done. jude bellingham is something special . onto the next one. >> we see right through this, don't we? meanwhile the deputy leader of labour, angela rayner, said celebrating a vital win with the gaffer. well done lads. now just look at that picture of keir starmer. >> that t shirt looks improbably clean. he's in a pub watching a football match. what not a single bit of beer has been spilt over it. have you ever seen such a white t shirt and that at the end of a football match and that comedian, i can't remember his name, but john richardson, john richardson, who's clearly supported, i thought that was matt hancock in the middle when i first saw that picture. >> i don't know who that is between keir starmer and angela raynen between keir starmer and angela rayner, but don't you think that t shirt looks it looks like it's beenin t shirt looks it looks like it's been in a bowl of persil for a yeah >> well, it's obviously worn clean for the day. new for the day. >> i think people do go to the pub and watch football without getting beer on them. >> really, what? so when the goal was scored? i've been in

pubs when a goal scored, all the beer goes up in the air. >> you have not been in a pub when a goal has been scored many years. >> 19, 1966. >> 19, 1966. >> exactly that was done. i don't do that any more. that was matt forde, who's a comedian in the middle. there not matt hancock. well, joining us now is former england international and also played in the famous hand of god maradona match in world cup 1986. trevor steven good morning trevor. thank you so much for joining morning trevor. thank you so much forjoining us. much for joining us. >> how are you? good. >> how are you? good. >> you're gonna have to help us here, trevor, because bev and i have a confession. we don't really know much about football, but we want you do. as a former england player, everton player, burnley player. was it tense? did we do well? was it was . is did we do well? was it was. is it always nerve wracking in the first game. >> yeah i mean there's always trepidation, for us in the first game because because the expectation levels are so high and rightly so. we have the premier league. right. i think i think the premier league is a masks a lot of things because the majority of players are foreign players in the premier

league , all right. we do have league, all right. we do have some really top players. ourselves within that, but maybe not as many vie, as we as we think. so we don't reflect the premier league and it is seen as the biggest league in the world. so putting that aside, we still have a fantastic squad of players , and we have a leader, players, and we have a leader, you know, in jude bellingham is a leader now of men at 20 year old. but going into this game we were we i thought we were really good. right. i thought we were really good in the first 20 minutes and, we got our goal. we were playing well, dominating the game , looking comfortable. the game, looking comfortable. but as the game went on, we started to go back onto the back foot. and as soon as we do that, we, we get lost in games. and i think we got lost in this one, but we got the job done , as but we got the job done, as everyone is saying. that's that's for sure. why did they

lose their way? >> trevor, i think what you've seen in this tournament already, substitutions are going to be absolutely key , to how you play absolutely key, to how you play absolutely key, to how you play a 90 minutes, and again, i don't think, gareth has really covered himself in any great, any great way because of there was no real rhythm to the way that he was making the substitutions . he was making the substitutions. he was kind of just taking a like for like and not changing the way that we played. so if you're going to be critical, would say that substitutions could have been better. you think that foden wasn't playing particularly well. you think well trent did come off of course, but faded in the game as well. harry kane one touch of the ball in the first half. i understand that. i understand that he was given a role to play further up the field and not concern himself too much with, with getting involved in the game in deeper positions. with getting involved in the game in deeper positions . but he game in deeper positions. but he was working away in a thankless

task and burning energy up there. we could have had watkins on the energy that he would have provided, i think would have made us look a little bit more, a little bit more dangerous in the second half and take the game into, into the serbians , game into, into the serbians, because a lot of that second half was played in the england half, wasn't it ? half, wasn't it? >> the bits that i managed to watch in between sunday night mom duties , it looked like every mom duties, it looked like every time i turned on somebody was trying to foul jude bellingham and i was a little bit worried for him is that sometimes as part of maybe the ambition of the team early on in the tournament to take out your star player? >> yeah, i think so . player? >> yeah, i think so. i think he was getting special attention. but i think, i think the refereeing has been excellent so far in the tournament. and i thought the referee noticed that very early on in the game that, jude was getting more than his fair share of, of, clattering , fair share of, of, clattering, you know, during that first half in particular. but you know, such as jude, he thrives on that. and we saw one instance where he almost went a little bit too far with the reaction to

one of the serbian players. yeah but, he is he is the catalyst for everything that we're going to do in this tournament. we can't win it without him playing . we can't with, win it without him having a really good tournament. and he started really well. the team around him, i thought, looked a bit flaky over the 90 minutes, but i said that first half an hour , i said that first half an hour, i was i was very impressed because we had rubbish having rhythm. you know, in the first game we're all we're frozen somewhat. and i thought the first 30 minutes was very positive, but we can do better over the 90 for sure. >> just tell us briefly. trevor can we really, genuinely can we win this tournament ? win this tournament? >> if you look at the other teams that have got into this , teams that have got into this, you know, and really hit the ground running, you know, germany, for instance , spain are germany, for instance, spain are looking very good. we've got to see france tonight , and they are see france tonight, and they are obviously the standouts , but obviously the standouts, but listen, we've got the three points. we are going up against denmark in the next game ,

denmark in the next game, luckily i've got a ticket for that, so i'm going to go and see it myself, looking forward to getting, getting the job done there as well and, and build on there as well and, and build on the performance that we've had. and if gareth can just be that little bit braver, a little bit earlier with his substitutions, i think, you know, we've got a really good chance. i would just like to mention my, mark grohe, crystal palace, centre back was absolutely terrific last night, and i think he was the one that we were all doubting. can he step up to up to the mark? and he. and he did more than that. i thought he was absolutely. he, played out of his skin, actually, last night. and long may that continue. so he's kind of cemented his place in the starting line—up, which is great. >> okay, brilliant. thank you so much. england, everton and burnley legend trevor steven was there. >> and did you see when they scored the goal all the beer was going up in the air. so i'm telling you keir starmer changed that t shirt for that photograph. >> that wasn't a pub. they don't do that in the pub. you get

kicked out of the pub. now all the millennials are like sipping on a fresh orange juice. anyway, now in the he went in the gents and changed his t shirt. >> i'm telling you everything is so controlled these days. nothing is spontaneous. up next, labour's net zero black hole. >> the conservatives have accused sir keir starmer of a huge budget shortfall and insist r , tax hikes are looming. is britain's newsroom on

gb news. >> joining us now is our political commentator, matthew stadler, an editor at large of melancholy. charlotte, he's just corrected me on my football knowledge because i said that jude bellingham played in spain and he doesn't know you said jude bellingham played in germany. >> and he did in the past. play in germany. now he plays nearly right. >> just don't even try , andrew. >> just don't even try, andrew. just don't even try bothering. right. let's talk about something that you are much more familiar with. all of us, labour's net zero black hole. matthew, this is such a sticky issue, isn't it, for politicians

to talk about the net zero agenda? because it feels like they're trying to keep everybody happy and failing to do so. okay. >> so first thing is climate change is real. mankind is contributing to climate change. whatever people on the hard right would have us believe . a right would have us believe. a wet june in england does not mean that climate change isn't happening into the world isn't getting warmer. labour are trying to take this reasonably seriously. actually, to his credit, boris johnson took it quite seriously when he was prime minister and what labour wants to do is heavily invest not as heavily as they said they would because they panicked with their £28 billion a year plan. it's gone, but they nonetheless want to invest quite heavily in green infrastructure and in renewable energy. and this is key. they want to and the proof will be in the in the pudding, in the eating of the pudding. they want to bring in hundreds of thousands of new green jobs in old industrial heartlands. and who could oppose that? >> how are they going to do it? >> how are they going to do it? >> well, that's going to be that's what we're going to have to experience when it happens. how are they going to how have

they told us they're going to do it? >> how are they going to create these 600,000 jobs that they're talking about? >> well, we'll have to wait and see. >> oh, is that it? we have to wait and see. >> yeah. that's brilliant. that's suitably vague. >> well, we're gonna talk, you know, the net zero green and we'll have to wait and see. >> yeah. there's a lot of that going on with the labour. labour plans a lot of wait and see and let's just see how it goes. but they're going to lose 200,000 jobsif they're going to lose 200,000 jobs if they wind down north sea oil. and although i'm not a big believer in fossil fuels for fuels, for obvious reasons, i think we need to be more domestic and less reliant on china making batteries that we have to ship over. you know, the world stage is changing very rapidly shifting now against electric cars. yeah well, first of all, i think the electric bubble will burst. and second of all, i don't think we should be reliant on foreign energy. i know that he's trying to invest in some renewable energy here, but i think north sea oil, we've got to keep these areas of production going just in case something happens. you know what? if the electric revolution doesn't work out? and by the way, i don't think it will. and we've got to make these batteries abroad and bring them in. matthew i want to talk about

this child benefit cap. >> i want to get through some stories this morning. so an extra quarter of a million children are going to be hit by this. if labour keep this policy in place . they've spent a lot of in place. they've spent a lot of time criticising it. >> this is the cap on two children which remember angela rayner last year called vicious . rayner last year called vicious. >> she's the deputy leader of the labour party. she called that policy last year vicious. but they're keeping it. >> i think you'd struggle to find a single person on the left who doesn't think it should be scrapped, and i think it should be scrapped, and the reason it should be scrapped is because it is dragging hundreds of thousands of people into poverty. i think it's a cruel policy. and when the tories brought it in for the first time, i was deeply opposed to it. i think the reason is, as starmer explained, because he doesn't want to make any uncosted promises. he's terrified of the right, the right wing media, which would encourage people not to vote labour if they think any sort of tax is going up. but the reality is that is dragging people into poverty, giving him the nickname on the left of there, calling him kid starvation. yeah, and i was going to say he might actually like that . no one wants actually like that. no one wants to be called that, but it's

certainly part of his plan , i certainly part of his plan, i suspect, in recent years to take on the so—called harder left in his party to reassure the sorts of people who might be watching this programme. >> is angela rayner hard left? she's called it vicious last yeah >> is she hard left? i think she's jonathan ashworth hard left, he called it. >> i think she called it cruel. >> i think she called it cruel. >> i think she's certainly to the left of starmer and what we're seeing is a labour party thatis we're seeing is a labour party that is desperate to get into power and it cannot achieve everything that it wants to achieve. >> it comes down to, again, what is their ideology? are the labour party pro—family or not? it seems very strange that they would keep this. >> yeah. and given starmer is very obviously close with tony blair, who brought a million children out of poverty, you would think he would scrap it actually. but i think as he's as as you said, matt, he just wants to win this election £2.5 billion. >> when you're thinking about three and a half, i think, okay. >> all right. but even more £1 trillion economy. it's a small it's small beer. >> i agree with you. >> i agree with you. >> and yesterday we had wes streeting saying the manifesto is not a five year spending

plan. in other words, there are beginning to be tax rises coming up. so if there are tax rises coming up, why don't they tell us what they are? and then they could do this job. >> yeah. and they might win a few more votes if they, if they tell us what they are, something like this. >> it's partly because you guys work for newspapers. in your case, the mail, in your case the mail on sunday. that absolutely want to scare the horses. tax rises, tax rises, tax rises. labour have committed not to raising taxes on working people. but tax shouldn't be, in my view, a dirty word at a time when 7.5 million people are on waiting lists, when lots of pubuc waiting lists, when lots of public services are on their knees. why can't the rich pay a bit more? why can't why coppers were so powerful? pretty powerful right? think about think about rupert murdoch. why is rupert murdoch reported and this may not happen going to back labour in this in this campaign. he doesn't he doesn't want to be seen as a loser. >> we've run out of time . >> we've run out of time. >> we've run out of time. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb

news. >> hello and welcome to your gb news weather update brought to you by the met office. well, there's still plenty of sunny spells and showers in the forecast this week, but from midweek onwards, plenty of dry weather and we'll even start to see some sunshine . a cloudy see some sunshine. a cloudy start for monday though, across the central slice of the uk with some showers starting to break through, and on the whole a rather unsettled day with sunny spells and showers. the driest of the weather is going to be across the south and southeast, where we'll see plenty of sunshine. it may just turn hazy by the time we reach the afternoon, but this is where we're going to catch the best of the temperatures. highs of 22, maybe even 23 celsius by the afternoon . later on into the afternoon. later on into the afternoon. later on into the afternoon and through into the evening , we will continue to see evening, we will continue to see plenty of showers across the country and they may be heavy at times. you may even hear the odd rumble of thunder in the northeast and lighter winds too, which means they're going to move through fairly slowly so you may catch some persistent heavy downpours, at times largely dry across northern

ireland, but mostly cloudy day. still some showers in the north of england, but further south is where we'll start to see that dner where we'll start to see that drier weather. the odd shower here and there, but otherwise plenty of late evening sunshine on offer through into the evening. it is going to be a largely dry night compared to recent nights. plenty of clear spells too, which means it's going to be turning cooler. may even start to see some mist and fog develop by the time we reach the morning, but it is going to be staying largely cloudy across scotland and it's going to be quite damp here too. but that means it's that's where it's going to be. milder whereas under those clearer spells it is going to be a cooler night than recent nights. now overall on tuesday is going to be plenty of dry weather around . still, those dry weather around. still, those showers, though generally developing through the course of the morning and northeast england and quite a damp day across scotland too. and once again we could catch the odd heavy downpour. may even hear the odd rumble of thunder and a chance we may see some rain in the far southeast, but that's generally where we'll see the warmer weather once again. bye for now .

for now. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boiler as sponsors of weather on

gb news. >> greg. good morning. it's 10:00 on monday, the 17th of june. this is britain's newsroom on gb news with me, bev turner and andrew pierce. well is it all over for the tories? >> it seems the defence secretary, grant shapps, thinks so. this is what he said this morning. possible to win the election. >> do i accept it's the most not the most likely outcome. so accept that. i'm a realist. >> child benefit cap controversy. an extra 250,000 children will be hit by the two children will be hit by the two child benefit cap next year. previously deputy leader of labour angela rayner said the policy was obscene and inhumane and jonathan ashworth called it heinous . but and jonathan ashworth called it heinous. but it now and jonathan ashworth called it heinous . but it now looks like heinous. but it now looks like their party is going to keep it and living in fear. >> and in britain's newsroom

it was quite touching and it shows and they do live close to the beach, close to the sea. >> lovely. lovely weekend, nice way to spend that father's day. >> let us know what you did yesterday. gbnews.com forward slash your say and let us know your thoughts on all of our stories this morning. a lot of you are giving me a hard time about being apparently uncompassionate cruel to cows. >> who'd have thought it? >> who'd have thought it? >> i'm not. i don't i didn't wish the cow any harm. i just think the police officer was in a very difficult situation. >> probably ran it over a third time. >> finish it off. i would have hated. i would have hated. the thing is, i would have hated to have to do that. and therefore, i feel for the police officer that he found himself in that situation. it was in feltham. he doesn't live in texas. >> right here is the status, the police car in it was all right, actually. >> amazing. very latest news with tatiana here. she's . with tatiana here. she's. >> bev and andrew. thank you. the top stories from the gb newsroom. reform uk will launch what it's calling a contract with voters later today after the party's leader , nigel

the party's leader, nigel farage, refused to call it a manifesto. the party's promising to freeze all non—essential immigration and take britain out of the european convention on human rights there would also be a new tax for employers who choose to hire workers from overseas. earnings under £20,000 a year would be tax free, with extra funds made available by abolishing the government's net zero targets. today's launch comes after a poll showed reform ahead of the tories by one point, though other polls have since put the party behind the conservatives meanwhile, the reform uk candidate has resigned after it emerged that he'd previously urged people to vote for the british national party. grant sinclair armstrong had been standing in the same constituency as women and equalities minister kemi badenoch, but a report in the times highlighted blog posts he'd written in 2010, in which he'd written in 2010, in which he also used racial slurs. his name will still appear on the ballot because the deadline for nomination has now passed . the

across the country. the fund is a central part of labour's green prosperity plan . the defence prosperity plan. the defence secretary has conceded that an election victory for the conservative party is now unlikely . grant shapps says he's unlikely. grant shapps says he's a realist and won't pretend the way forward for his party is straightforward. but he told gb news that working people will be worse off under labour and they'll pay far higher taxes coming after your home, your job, your car, your pension all of which are areas of taxation they have not ruled out raising . they have not ruled out raising. >> we know about the £2,094 that they intend to raid of every household budget, but yesterday we had their health spokesman say on tv. that's just the start of it. it's not all in our manifesto though, so we know that they're hiding stuff as well. so look, i think there is a lot to be concerned about. starmer is the only other person who can conceivably walk into downing street , and they are downing street, and they are planning the highest taxes this country will have ever known .

country will have ever known. >> a leading think tank is warning an extra 250,000 children will be hit by the two children will be hit by the two child benefit cap next year . the child benefit cap next year. the cap limits child benefits for the first two children in most households. the institute for fiscal studies says the number of children who will fall under the cap will reach 670,000 by the cap will reach 670,000 by the end of the next parliament. it it's also warning that it will rise to an extra half a million by 2029 if the policy is not reformed, and. a third company is now recalling some food products due to fears of possible e coli contamination . a possible e coli contamination. a manufacturer called this is recalling a vegan chicken and bacon wrap, which is sold only at wh smith retailers. it comes after some sandwiches and wraps sold at major retailers including sainsbury's, asda and boots were also recalled due to the same concerns . the the same concerns. the manufacturers say the recalls are only a precautionary measure and no cases of contamination have been found. anyone

griffiths. matthew was saying it's all the wicked press is the reason why keir starmer can't possibly tell us which taxes he will or won't put up. >> we're just holding people to account. you know, that's literally our job is to make sure that our readers know whether they're being lied to or spun a load of nonsense all day, every day. and i think the mail's front page today, which will, of course, infuriate matthew staton, has labour let the cat out the bag because wes streeting , the shadow secretary streeting, the shadow secretary of state for health, said on television yesterday the manifesto is not a five year spending plan. >> he's far, so there's going to be other. there will be a tax rises. >> then, of course, he's admitted what we've all known all along. it's actually quite nice to hear a bit of honesty, although clearly he's had it twisted out. >> but guys, let's be real about this, okay? we are being real about it. well, let me finish. of course, it is all of our responsibility to hold not just the tories to account, but also labour to account. given where they are in the polls. but let's not pretend that papers like the mail and the mail on sunday and the telegraph, which i used to write in the sunday telegraph and the express and the sun and the sun on sunday, these are

campaigning papers, usually for the tories. it looks like murdoch might back actually in this election. starmer, because he's never lost an election has he. he wants to he wants to be a winner. >> he backed the sun backed labourin >> he backed the sun backed labour in 1997. >> exactly. >> exactly. >> that's it. no no no. but i mean he's never backed to lose her. he's he's always backed the winner. he backed they backed labourin winner. he backed they backed labour in 97. they backed them in 2001 2005. and then remember when gordon brown tore up a copy of the sun because he lost that support. labour didn't win that election. this time it looks as though the tail is wagging the dog. if murdoch goes for labour, it's because labour are going to win. he doesn't want to be a loser. the papers do still have some influence, by the way, because we're talking about what we were discussing before the break. you are actually a very effective interviewer. andrew, to your credit, and you had me on the spot. i felt how they create these 600,000 jobs, and i felt a bit like one of those ministers has sort of gotcha moment got got by by you, andrew pierce. and so i did a bit of research and actually angela, not angela rayner, the shadow chancellor. rachel reeves is going to be talking about this today. going to be talking about this today . and so she will be today. and so she will be putting some flesh on the bones as she absolutely should. and if

you invest a very great deal of money, billions of pounds into green infrastructure, into green energy, that will, of course create jobs such as in electrical , create jobs such as in electrical, plumbing, i understand engineering, but they were they gave us a figure of what they were going to invest. >> and they've taken that figure away 28 billion because they can't afford it, much to the fury of ed miliband, who will be the climate change secretary. so correct . and that would have correct. and that would have explained where the 600,000 jobs are coming from. we haven't got no not now. >> no. there is still, as i understand it. and we can check this something like £7.5 billion will be invested in green energy , green infrastructure. and if you put that sort of money in, it will it will get gb energy. it will indeed. and it will create new jobs. and you're right, if we do stop allowing exploration of north sea oil and gas, that will of course, inevitably and very sadly, no one wants to see any job losses. you will see job losses in those areas. the hope and the expectation is that they will be replaced by more jobs in a green

infrastructure . infrastructure. >> these jobs are going to be lost from the north. >> yes, in the in the post—industrial heartlands is what labour is saying. >> so 200,000 jobs we know will go matthew is they're saying they hopefully will replace them. >> well though they say they will. i'm hoping i'm hoping it doesn't do any good if you live in scotland, does it? >> and it's vague. yeah >> and it's vague. yeah >> and it's vague. >> and it's vague. >> vague. let's talk about vagueness too, because we had grant shapps doing the morning media round today. he was last week. he said when they introduced national service, the idea of for 18 year olds. my understanding was it was for 12 months for 30,018 year olds. last week he he told a good morning britain. or it might have been this programme that actually , no, it's one weekend actually, no, it's one weekend a month for 12 months. today he said no, no, actually it is 30,000 youngsters for a year in the army, but they'll only be away for one weekend a month, so they won't need to spend a lot of money on accommodation. so what is this day release army? and also, when asked how much it

would cost, he said several billion. how much? >> minister, i don't know, i think i think he probably knows it's never going to happen. so he hasn't bothered to do the math. there we are. so you think he's just done it on the back of a fag packet? he knows it's not going to ever happen. i, by the way, think it should happen. i think it's a great idea, i do, but sadly it's never. >> but what's the what's this telling us? labour as we've said, are terrified of being bold in this election. that is, of course upsetting some people on the left because they 30 points ahead man. yeah. but that that can be eroded. can't we know that? we discussed this last time in 2017. theresa may's tories were about 20 points ahead over corbyn. and look what happened. >> there wasn't a reform party though. >> that's true. and that's a massive danger, for there was a there was but not there was the brexit party not in the shape it is in now and not with the threat that it poses now. you're absolutely right labour. let's. starmer is very , very very starmer is very, very very cautious. he is he's not an exciting leader. he's he's he's not inspiring that many people . not inspiring that many people. but he's desperate to get hold of power because i think the vast majority of people in this

country and the polls bear this out, are really keen to get rid of the tories after what many people see as 14 years of failure. that policy by sunak , failure. that policy by sunak, when he suddenly threw the dead cat into the room and said, oh look, we're going to have national service and then you and then it starts to unravel before our eyes and under scrutiny, which is right that you're scrutinising it. that's because he is 20 points behind in the polls. he's absolutely desperate. and that is why grant shapps last week started trying to scare everyone into the idea of a socialist. i mean, starmer , of a socialist. i mean, starmer, is he really a socialist? a socialist, by his own admission, he said , i am, i know, but in he said, i am, i know, but in practice is he? i mean, when he ran for the leadership, he said he is. starmers manifesto could be almost the manifesto of a tory prime minister in waiting . tory prime minister in waiting. >> why are you voting for them? listen, because they will make marginal differences, marginal improvements, talking of their instincts, are in a better place i >> talking of manifestos, reform are launching theirs today . are launching theirs today. charlotte. they're not calling it a manifesto. they're calling it a manifesto. they're calling it a manifesto. they're calling it a contract. we're going to be bringing you that live this morning if you're interested in that, they took over the tories on friday for the first time in

the polls, 19 as opposed to 18, how do you assess the role of reform right now with a couple of weeks to go? >> well, i think this manifesto might as well be one sentence long or one word long. immigration that's what it's all going to be about. and that's i mean, that's surely the message he's going to carry home he really n to do, because that's why people are voting for him. >> he will say as well, when you can turn the small boats around, because there are treaties which show they can, but which never told us which treaties they are. >> well, it's just nonsense, nigel farage will tell you himself because he'll be very straight with you and he'll say it's a protest vote. of course it's a protest vote. of course it is. there is an issue here, by the way, and that is that it seems like maybe a six. this is what he'd like us to believe. 6 million people across the uk, which is a lot of british citizens, will be voting for reform. they may end up with no seats. they may end up with a handful of seats that, on the face of it at least, is not great for democracy. the reason thatis great for democracy. the reason that is so viewers understand is because their their support is uniform roughly across the country. so, so they've got a

certain amount in most seats, whereas in every whereas the lib dems have a very high degree of support in some, in a small number of seats and very little in elsewhere, that could leave 6 million people feeling disenfranchised. >> don't you find it? do you not find it a bit wrongfooting, though, matt, when you think that nigel farage said that he would remove the cap on child benefit for two children, he would have as many children as you want in child benefit . that you want in child benefit. that seems slightly at odds that he'd raised the tax threshold to £20,000 for the poor. does that not mean that this idea that he's a somehow that party is a far right party? >> no it's not, it's a i haven't called them far right. no. some of their but some of their candidates, some of their candidates, some of their candidates will. and some of the things that nigel says i find totally unacceptable, i'll say that to his face. we know each other a little bit through working together for a long time or on the same platforms. there are some quite appealing policies. the idea of dragging people on £20,000 out of the tax system altogether, the idea as you say, of ending the two child tax credit, the question is how would it actually work? can he

balance the books? is he a serious party for government? of course he's not. and therefore he can say those sorts of things. >> it's interesting as though just briefly, charlotte, he's launching his manifesto today and his his manifesto after all, in wales labour heartland, because he's saying i'm not just about taking votes from the tories. >> yeah, but i think there are a lot of people in wales who actually are going to vote reform. but as you say, the first past the post system means that you won't actually see many seats in power. but i think i also think people are going to in the in the end, although they want to sort of punish the tories, i think in the end, a lot of those people will vote tory because they know that they're not going to get much representation in the commons from farage, but i think there'll be a lot of support for him in wales. >> there's a lot of people who are very unhappy with both main parties, aren't they? right. matt charlotte, thank you so much for sticking around. now we're talking about this as well. the police officer who hit the car, hit the cow with the police car in feltham . he's been police car in feltham. he's been removed from frontline duties. what else was he supposed to do? >> why did he have to hit it

twice? >> this is britain's newsroom. >> this is britain's newsroom. >> that's after the first one. >> that's after the first one. >> and down it goes again.

to 19. with britain's newsroom on gb news andrew and bev. a lot of people are worried about this cow. >> cow. >> well, they're worried about me being cruel about the cow. >> this cow was okay to run it over twice. >> i think the most important thing in that situation is to keep the public safe from a road traffic accident that might have had 5 or 6 vehicles bashing into each other on the a316, because a cow ran on the road to keel over after being whacked. >> the first time, it didn't need to be hit again. >> they had to neutralise the threat of the cow. well, let's the police officer, poor police officer that had to take this action. i'm sure it wasn't what he thought he was going to do at 10:00 on a friday night. >> he's probably having stress counselling. >> well, i shouldn't laugh. look, it's not nice for the cow. clearly it's not nice. >> that's for the police.

>> that's for the police. >> look at it. but the police officer, what? we want to know how this has all come about. i've got some questions as to what that cow was doing in feltham. anyway, that weekend, let's just remind people it's the reason i remember why i've heard of it. >> it's where the young offenders in feltham, young offenders in feltham, young offenders near heathrow airport near are there many cow fields with cows near heathrow airport? >> not at all. let's talk to gb news. northern ireland reporter dougie beattie , who is in county dougie beattie, who is in county down, happens to be in a field of cows . of cows. >> are they all safe? those cows dougie , there's no police dougie, there's no police officer about to plough into them and hands. >> i have a car sitting on the other side, ready to . robert. i other side, ready to. robert. i mean, this is completely ridiculous. i mean, kyrees i mean, you can see this eamonn a field of 70 cows here. this is a milking herd, cows are very placid, very calm animals. milking herd, cows are very placid, very calm animals . and placid, very calm animals. and they're worth a lot of money, never mind how much more money they produce through the lifetime of their milking herd. so, i mean , we look at this.

so, i mean, we look at this. this is very calm, very , very this is very calm, very, very placid animals. i mean, why would you think of ramming it with a vehicle, number one, it was downright cruel, to be honest. and number two, the cow. if you'd have got out and actually just herd it the cow away, the cow would have gladly have left you. or moved into an area. and i mean, cows don't go wandering for miles either. i mean, they usually go to the next field if there's no grass in it or no water. so obviously this animal was out looking for, exactly that food or water, it had managed to break out of a field somewhere nearby and ended up in the middle of that town. now, if you get out now, i mean, if i wanted these animals to come over to me, i'd just get a bucket, put a few stones in it, shake it, and the cattle would come over to me, they are cunous come over to me, they are curious animals. i mean, they'll stand here and look, but there's no big teeth. there's nothing else on these animals. and all he had to do was get out of that. that truck, put it across one side and just heard the

beast end towards, the side of a verge or whatever , and they verge or whatever, and they could have tied it up and by all means would have , no doubt it means would have, no doubt it would have been situation. the thing is, no need. >> the thing is, you're a man of the country , so you're there in the country, so you're there in your wellies and you understand what cows behaviour is like. but 10:00 on a friday night in feltham , that cow is not feltham, that cow is not relaxed. it's not calmly chewing grass , it's just terrified. and grass, it's just terrified. and it had already tried to be restrained by somebody, a man who apparently got knocked over by the cow and then rang the police to get the police involved. they tried to get a vet. there's no vet available. they're like, you know, you can't get anything, any health service in this country. and they had to stop the cow before it ran on the road and caused a mass pilot, because if that had happened and people were injured in their cars, surely the police would then have been criticised for being too woke and the vegans run the world and no one dare restrain a cow. >> well, i mean, this is our

police force. this is general training and a police force. if you're a if you're a police officer, i know here in northern ireland, if you're a police officer, there's a massive rural side to our life here. and you're well trained and exactly how to deal with an animal that's on the road. i mean, anybody could deal with an animal that's on the road. if it was a dog on the road or if it was a dog on the road or if it was a dog on the road or if it was a horse on the road. i mean, we had that in london. we had horses running through london going mad. exactly. >> and people ended up in hospital . there were people in hospital. there were people in hospital, dougie. yes, but yeah, but if you don't know how to deal with the horse , you go to deal with the horse, you go to the horse, you calm the horse, you lift it quite. >> you just let the horse be reassured that there's nothing happening. and a horse is a different animal from a cow. i mean, if you could see to the right hand side of me now, there's actually a cow standing right beside me. i mean, the scariest thing in this field is not the stand and a steaming divot. i mean , that's exactly divot. i mean, that's exactly where we're at. this was hardly a life or death situation. and to me, this police officer

overreacted way beyond the bounds of what he should have done. and never mind the thousands of pounds that was in that animal, the public sector police vehicle that he hit, i'm sure is, is damaged in a big way as well . there was an easier way as well. there was an easier way to deal with this. >> dougie, he's behind you. he's behind you. >> you over now. dougie up! i think i'll die laughing. right? >> well, listen, can i just ask one question? >> dougie? when are cows lying down in a field? is that a sign that rain's on the way? there's lots of signs that rain's on the way. i mean, what what's the old saying? elm before oak. you're in for a sukh. i mean, the countryside is full of that now. cows, they lie down quite a lot. and just to round them, go off for a milking. come back, there's no real problems with cows . and that police officer, cows. and that police officer, he maybe took a split decision to do exactly what he did , but to do exactly what he did, but it was the wrong decision. >> oh, i feel sorry for him, though. thank you. dougie beattie always lovely to see you and all that fresh air, that rural scene , i love it.

rural scene, i love it. >> be a consultant on the script of the archers. he knows his countryside, doesn't he? >> he does. he lives there, doesn't he? well, like this poor police officer doesn't understand a cow's behaviour. he obviously panicked a bit and, well, i'm on the side of the police officer, i really am. i feel so sorry for that cow. >> is the cow called daisy? >> is the cow called daisy? >> the cow hasn't got a name. he's a flipping cow. he has got. >> no, it has got a name. what farmer said it has got a name. oh, we're gonna dig. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i'm sure it's certainly got a name, because there's an insurance claim to be had here, right? so suddenly it was the children's favourite cow. and. right. >> moving on. they think it might die of shock. >> well, i nearly died of shock to see the public outrage on criticising this poor police officer. faced with a very difficult. >> the horse. >> the horse. >> the horse. >> the cow is called blue lucy. there we are. >> bow. it's bow , bow. lucy. >> bow. it's bow, bow. lucy. >> bow. it's bow, bow. lucy. >> oh yeah, i had read that. >> oh yeah, i had read that. >> there we are. you see, very nice. >> we're wishing you well. bow, lucy. >> she isn't . >> she isn't. >> she isn't. >> i'm wishing the police officer. >> she'd have driven over five times to finish. >> i just think human beings are more important than animals. call me old fashioned, right? >> gear change. can we use that expression? >> poor cow.

>> poor cow. >> gear change. almost all the firearms being used by criminals on the streets of london are being brought in from abroad . being brought in from abroad. >> for a home. >> for a home. >> security editor mark white has been investigating at this train station in luton , firearms train station in luton, firearms officers move in on an armed suspect . suspect. >> he's got a flare, got a floatie now. >> do you are you front. are you front? front. now front, front. now this is 20 year old tyrell mckoy. >> when officers searched him, they found this handgun and ammunition . mccoy and other ammunition. mccoy and other members of his northwest london gang have now been jailed for drugs and firearms offences. >> i'm scared . had to think >> i'm scared. had to think about his last moments because i think if i do , that's when i'm think if i do, that's when i'm going to hit that black hole and i might never, ever come out of it. >> jackie taylor knows more than most the heartbreak gun crime

can bring . last year, her son can bring. last year, her son tyrese was shot dead in south london. his killer has since been convicted . but for the been convicted. but for the family, their grief is all consuming . consuming. >> sometimes i sit down and i andifs >> sometimes i sit down and i and it's not even tears. i'll just be sitting down and all of a sudden i can't breathe . and a sudden i can't breathe. and then i'm just like, come on, jackie, come on. none of us have ever been the same since that day. it'sjust ever been the same since that day. it's just horrible . loud day. it's just horrible. loud shouts, loud shouts . shouts, loud shouts. >> across the capital, police have raided dozens of addresses in recent weeks in a crackdown on the criminal gangs involved in gun crime, arresting more than 50 and seizing dozens of weapons. the met's say firearms offences have fallen to a 15 year low in london, police , but year low in london, police, but many criminals still manage to

acquire guns, often from other crime groups overseas. >> for the majority of illegally held firearms here in this country come from abroad. but having said that, we often see, converted blank firearms which are legal . they're used for are legal. they're used for things like, you know, starting pistols, gaming, etc. things like, you know, starting pistols, gaming , etc. currently pistols, gaming, etc. currently we're seeing a converted firearms coming in from places like turkey. it fluctuates over the years . the years. >> this south london criminal, danny butler, is now serving an 18 year jail term after officers searched his home and found six firearms, some including a loaded handgun , were found in loaded handgun, were found in his young children's bedroom drawers . please walk across the drawers. please walk across the caphal drawers. please walk across the capital. police are continuing to pursue the gun criminals, but it is, it seems, a never ending battle against those determined to carry these deadly weapons . to carry these deadly weapons. mark whyte, gb news. >> really interesting, awful

thing. >> really, really shocking, right. let's see what you've been saying at home about this cow story , a lot of you are cow story, a lot of you are giving me a hard time, and then some of you also saying, you know, the human beings are more important than the cows. it was important than the cows. it was important that the cow didn't cause a massive pile up, come on, bev, you can't defend the police officer. you're totally exaggerating the danger, says ralph. simple matter of. block off the road and approach the calf quietly. block off the road. there was one police. the resources required to block off a road and then what? you're not going to block off a road. a cow can go through a garden when you're fighting a losing battle. i know, ian says this is london, not rural england. they should have shot the cow and fined the owner for not securing it properly. with what? well, this is the thing. >> one of those guns that has just been talking about all they had was a car. >> all they had was a battering ram. what else could they do? beverly? another beverly says she's a member. morning. police

officer was way out of order. bev is wrong on this one, and says bev is right. the cow had to be stopped before it got to the major road. also i doubt any of the vets in the area have the equipment to stop a big animal. good point. where was the farmer if the cow had been on the loose for so long, why wasn't he looking for it? or was he too busy watching the football on the tv? well, this was friday night actually. i'm sure there might have been a football match at night. >> wasn't it. and another beverly. this isn't the same member. different surnames. bev, you've come across as rather snidey on this issue. that's a shame. i just want to support the policeman. i think he was in a really difficult position and like i said, everybody who was complaining about it yesterday probably sat there eating their roast beef over sunday lunch, going, isn't it awful that that cow was killed because the police are rubbish? >> i think they killed more humanely than running a big, heavy car into them twice. you'd have run it three times. she'd have run it three times. she'd have done it three times. you would? well put it out, she'd said to put it out of its misery. yeah. we have to disagree as ever, we often disagree. time for your news headunes disagree. time for your news headlines now, with the fabulous tatiana sanchez .

gb news. >> and this is a very disturbing britain's newsroom. exclusive. because seven years on from the appalling grenfell tower fire, which claimed 72 lives, it's estimated there are still 300,000 people still living in buildings with dangerous cladding in england alone. >> our reporter, eleanor smith

has more . has more. >> it was pure shock , mayhem and >> it was pure shock, mayhem and there was nothing you could do apart from listening to the sound of the crackling, the sound of the crackling, the sound of the screams. >> no one stood a chance. >> no one stood a chance. >> seven years on from the grenfell tower fire, there are an estimated 300,000 people still living in buildings with dangerous flammable cladding . dangerous flammable cladding. emma o'connor was one of just six residents that escaped from the 20th floor of grenfell. >> her mum's carers , mary mendy >> her mum's carers, mary mendy and khadija kay, didn't make it. >> they were brave in trying to escape. they couldn't do anything wrong. they were just pure hearts of gold. i've been diagnosed with, ptsd and, every, every month that or every event that, associated with grenfell, with the names it always fills

me with, like, why didn't i knock on anyone's door when we were leaving the building? there's so much survivor's guilt that i probably won't ever, ever get over and inquiry into the disaster which killed 72 people, found that the cladding covering the outside of the building was the outside of the building was the main cause for the spread of the main cause for the spread of the fire. >> yet for prime ministers and 11 housing ministers. later, a freedom of information request found that there are more than 2300 buildings in england with the same or similar cladding to grenfell. remediation work has only been completed on 991 tower blocks so far. britain house in manchester was identified as dangerous in 2020, but the cladding still hasn't been removed. >> we don't feel safe. we've not felt safe since we were told that there's dangerous cladding on the building. the government need to force the developers to get on with the work they really need to put some serious resources into getting all these

buildings sorted out. >> the government say the developer, lendlease, that installed the dangerous cladding has to remove it. they say we've established a dedicated team that works with the government and building owners to assess and building owners to assess and work on any remediation works that we might be responsible for a fire risk assessment of the external walls at britten house has now been completed. a contractor is being appointed, but emma says that something has to change as she fears cladding at other tower blocks like stephen's will lead to another disaster. >> it's inevitable they continue to put, money before lives . it's to put, money before lives. it's only a matter of time before another one and another big, big loss of life. >> eleanor smith gb news so we're going to talk to somebody who is in the middle of this story in just a moment. >> but in response to this, mike amesbury, labour's shadow building safety minister, said these findings are a stark reminder of the scale of the building safety crisis and the

need for decisive action. labour will take steps to speed up the pace of remediation across the country. >> the dem spokesman for housing, communities and local government, helen morgan. she said the conservatives promised to sort out dangerous cladding on buildings and they still haven't done so. the lib dems will remove this dangerous cladding, say one. >> by the way, we also reached out to the conservatives and reform uk but have had no response . fespoi'ise. >> response. >> this unit of britain house adriatic land where stephen lives has said. adriatic. we'll come to that afterwards because we're going to talk now to joe delaney. joe, you were a witness to this because you live right by grenfell tower. yeah the person who elena spoke to, this could happen again. >> it it's inevitable at the rate that things are changing at the moment, it's too slow . it's the moment, it's too slow. it's far too slow. and i can only imagine how some of those hundreds of thousands of people feel sleeping in those buildings every night. you know, i would ask anyone at home watching this, do they feel any safer now than they did seven years ago this time? do they feel any more

secure? do they feel, you know, leaseholders? do they feel more financially stable, and do they feel safer in their homes? have they have they still got the same problems getting mortgages? you know, it seems the only legacy that we will have from this conservative government is that they put a cost. you know, they've made killing people a cost of doing business effectively. and it seems that we don't make, you know, our life isn't worth enough. >> you saw it . can you describe >> you saw it. can you describe what it must have been a unimaginable horrors. >> yeah. the worst . it's not so >> yeah. the worst. it's not so much what you see as well. it's what you heard. because like, you heard people screaming for help from the windows of that building, you know? and at first we were throwing things up, thinking that waking them was a goodidea thinking that waking them was a good idea by throwing things at the windows . and i said, i said the windows. and i said, i said the windows. and i said, i said the day after the fire, and i still say it now. it's like we almost wish we didn't wake them up because what did we wake them up because what did we wake them up for? we woke them up to have a horrible death, unfortunately, you know, and it's a terrible position for any of us to have been put in. and the fact that

the authorities have let us down, the fact that kensington and chelsea council continues to let people down and continues to hurt people in that community by just sort of sidelining them, marginalising them and underplaying the problems in an attempt to escape liability . vie attempt to escape liability. vie was just disgraceful. >> the inquiry itself, you're a witness in that the phase two report will be published in september of this year. i still cannot fathom how an inquiry of this nature goes on for such a long time. joe, do you have any any sort of belief that this is necessary for it to take so long, i think that , you know, long, i think that, you know, when the government wants to do something quickly, it can get it done remarkably efficiently and, you know, at, at great, you know, breakneck speed, literally when it wants to. clearly it didn't want to on this occasion . didn't want to on this occasion. you know, i'm not faulting samaritans report. his phase one report was quite good. but what goodis report was quite good. but what good is writing a good report if

none of the recommendations are properly adhered to? the only organisation that has fulfilled all of its recommendations is the fire service . the fire service. >> the company involved land lease, a very wealthy property company . what is their excuse company. what is their excuse for not getting on with it and stripping this cladding out? what are what are they saying? >> well, i mean, you saw the flannel that they gave you in their statement. their real excuses. you know, that's how come they want to remain a very wealthy property company . you wealthy property company. you know, it might cause a dip for a quarter or two in their, you know, in their share price or in their stock valuations or whatever it may be. but the point is what it what the problem is, like anything in this country, if you want something done, you have to make what you want done less hassle than what they want to do. and the government haven't done that. they could have quite easily done that. now put a 100% tax on all of these companies that has have any buildings with cladding on them, you know, and use that money every year to remediate this damage. >> do we know if any of them have were aware if there was even a minor risk of this

cladding being flammable? manufacturers >> the manufacturers certainly were, because they conspired about it in their emails. you know, we feel like all we do is fake tests nowadays and things like that. it was a joke to these people. all of it. you know, everyone in this story made one small mistake. and there's always a saying, isn't there? it's no snowflake ever believes it's responsible for the avalanche , you know, and all the avalanche, you know, and all of them are responsible for it. collectively and individually. all of them should be ashamed of it. and all of them should be throwing whatever money they can at trying to make this right, because how else are they going to live with themselves ? and, to live with themselves? and, you know, this is an awful thing to have on one's conscience . to have on one's conscience. >> joe. thank you so much, joe delaney there. we just got to read this statement. this is the owners of britain house adriatic land, where stephen, who was in that package, said adriatic land has always been committed to fixing fire safety defects at britain house, at no cost to residents . we appreciate residents. we appreciate residents. we appreciate residents will be frustrated by this situation . this situation. >> seven years, seven years on frustrated

more to come this morning. >>

pretty much said so this morning . have a listen. >> possible to win the election. do i accept it's the most not the most likely outcome. so accept that i'm a realist. >> child benefit cap an extra 250,000 children will be hit by the two child benefit cap next year. the two child benefit cap next year . previously, labour's year. previously, labour's deputy leader angela rayner said the policy was obscene and inhumane, and labour's shadow ministerjonathan inhumane, and labour's shadow minister jonathan ashworth called it heinous. but the party is going to keep it, causing a big row . big row. >> and more than 80 pubs are closing every month in the uk due to the financial pressure. when did you last go to your local and what do we lose if we lose our pubs ? lose our pubs? when did you last go to a pub? >> i had a drink in my local pub on my way to church . well that's nice. >> what time is it? when do.

>> what time is it? when do. >> when do you go to church? what time did you have a drink? 930 in the morning. 630 in the evening? yeah, that's a nice thing to do. is that to atone for your sins. so you can go about the week with a clear conscience, a confession for that. >> and you'll have to go to confession for wanting to kill off that cow. >> i didn't want to kill the cow. >> cow. >> she'd have driven it over it a third time. >> she didn't want the cow to kill a dozen people on the a316 next door. that area is so urban . i do wonder whether people say, well, where was the farmer? just round him up. it's a city. that area. feltham is a very, very urban area. anyway, you can carry on giving me a hard time about this. gbnews.com/yoursay first at the very latest news with tatiana . with tatiana. >> beth, thank you very much. the top stories this hour, the shadow chancellor is highlighting labour's plan to create 650,000 new jobs as a week of economic campaigning begins. rachel reeves will

detail is detailing strategy to inject £7.3 billion into a new national wealth fund, which the party says will create hundreds of thousands of well—paying jobs across the country. it could also see parts of boris johnson's brexit deal revised, including closer alignment with the eu's rules in some sectors and more rights for british artists working in europe . artists working in europe. reform uk will launch what it's calling a contract with voters later, after the party's leader, nigel farage, refused to call it a manifesto. the party's promising to freeze all non—essential immigration and take britain out of the european convention on human rights there would also be a new tax for employers who choose to hire workers from overseas. earnings under £20,000 a year would be tax free, with extra funds made available by abolishing the government's net zero targets. today's launch comes after a poll showed reform ahead of the tories by one point, though other polls have since put the

party behind the conservatives meanwhile, a reform uk candidate has resigned after it emerged that he'd previously urged people to vote for the british national party. grant sinclair. armstrong had been standing in the same constituency as women and equalities minister kemi badenoch, but a report in the times highlighted blog posts he'd written in 2010, in which he'd written in 2010, in which he also used racial slurs . he'd written in 2010, in which he also used racial slurs. his name will still appear on the ballot because the deadline for nominations has now passed . the nominations has now passed. the liberal democrats say fuel duty relief should be expanded to 20 new areas to support motorists in rural communities. new areas to support motorists in rural communities . sir davey in rural communities. sir davey jumped on claims by the rac that fuel retailers are continuing to charge persistently high prices, despite falling wholesale prices . the party's leader says rural motorists have been particularly clobbered by the cost of living. he is calling for the current scheme to be expanded, which

sees retailers compensated for passing on lower prices to drivers . the defence secretary drivers. the defence secretary has conceded that an election victory for the conservative party is now unlikely. grant shapps says he's a realist and won't pretend the way forward for his party is straightforward. but he told gb news working people will be worse off under labour with higher taxes coming after your home, your job, your car , your home, your job, your car, your pension all of which are areas of taxation they have not ruled out raising. >> we know about the £2,094 that they intend to raid of every household budget, but yesterday we had their health spokesman say on tv that's just the start of it. it's not all in our manifesto, so we know that they're hiding stuff as well. so so, look, i think there is a lot to be concerned about . starmer to be concerned about. starmer is the only other person who can conceivably walk into downing street, and they are planning the highest taxes this country will have ever known .

will have ever known. >> a third company is now recalling some food products due to fears of possible e coli contamination. a manufacturer called this is recalling a vegan chicken and bacon wrap, which is sold only at wh smith retailers. this comes after some sandwiches and wraps sold at major retailers including sainsbury's, asda and boots were also recalled due to the same concerns . as the manufacturers concerns. as the manufacturers say, the recalls are only a precautionary measure and no cases of contamination have been found . anyone concerned, though, found. anyone concerned, though, should visit food gov.uk for a full list of recalled products . full list of recalled products. a man has been sentenced to a minimum of 22 years in jail for the murder of a former fettes college biology teacher in 2022, paul mcnaughton admitted to luring 75 year old peter coshan to a flat in leith using a fake profile on a gay dating app before killing him. mcnaughton, along with his 65 year old

not being compassionate to the cow. >> cow. >> don't tempt me, robert says, whilst the calf going to be halal meat, but escaped. >> good point. it's a very multicultural. it's a very muslim area. this week it was eid this weekend , right. just eid this weekend, right. just speculating. why was the cow in feltham? it's a very urban area. phil says, calm down. the cop had never ran over the calf. he stunned it and then he held it under the front of the car. it's on the mend now and no one was killed. that's the point, phil. somebody could have been killed if it caused a pile up. somebody could have been killed if it caused a pile up . yeah. if it caused a pile up. yeah. the cow. well, if the thing if it had gone out onto and it's really unpleasant and the actual footage with people screaming as well. and when the public surrounded. because what happens is another police car arrives in the footage and then lots of members of the public are shouting and going, what did you do that for? >> and it spooked the cow even more. >> well, the police officer said, i was trying to stop someone getting killed. that's what the police officers. i'm trying to stop someone getting killed. and he's right. human

beings are more important than animals. doesn't mean i don't like animals. >> but anyway, there we are. >> but anyway, there we are. >> so is it coming home? >> so is it coming home? >> what? football? >> what? football? >> apparently. hopefully we beat serbia one nil. >> i didn't watch it. have to be honest , it >> i didn't watch it. have to be honest, it was a game of two halves. england were very strong in the first, but it was a nervy second that was clearly wrote for beverley and i because we haven't slept. faintest idea whether it was or wasn't nervy. >> rishi sunak tweeted. tense finish, but they got the job done with a picture of him in a pub with an empty pint. also remind you he's a teetotal, so that's all. i can't bear the lack of authenticity in this. i'm sure he was very happy that we won, but it's don't try and he is a football fan. >> to be fair, he supports southampton, which is his local team, but i think quite interesting. ed davey the lib dem leader supports liverpool. why? >> no idea. comes from nottingham but that's okay. >> sometimes people support teams not from the area that they live in. >> they support teams that they think are going to win. >> angela rayner said celebrating a vital win with the gaffer. well done lad, i'm returning to my subject. >> i should have done the accent.

>> that white t shirt has been newly laundered. he's gone and got changed for that photograph. you don't know what he looks like that when they go to the pub to watch a football match, he looks like something out of the daz ad, not persil. >> he's all right for wearing whites. >> whiter. remember that ad? >> whiter. remember that ad? >> well, he couldn't have worn a shirt with his sleeves rolled up in his tie, which he normally does, and he's breezing in. >> i'm telling you, he's breathing in with a couple of comedians. >> couple of celebrities, with angela rayner like that. but football hooliganism away from all of this fun made a bit of a return on saturday. a sunday, england and serbian football fans clashed on the streets of germany, and charlie peters is here to tell us how bad it was. could have been a lot worse, charlie. right? >> could have been a lot worse. but some serious injuries were sustained in those clashes outside some of the bars where both serbian and english fans were drinking yesterday, ahead of that fixture in gelsenkirchen in germany . now, original in germany. now, original reports suggested that it was an albanian and serbian fan clash, a tense geopolitical differences there. for obvious reasons.

there is ongoing balkans related rivalries in football and that can often spill off the pitch. but later it transpired that actually a group of serbian hoougans actually a group of serbian hooligans who believed to have travelled to germany , possibly travelled to germany, possibly for the purpose of violence, had attacked a group of england fans attacked a group of england fans at a bar. now a spokesman for the uk football policing unit said that they were aware of the incident. they were tracking it, but it was their understanding that all of those arrested so far were serbian nationals , not far were serbian nationals, not engush far were serbian nationals, not english fans. but they did add that they were reviewing footage and in their investigation of any issues related to england, fans were discovered. then football banning orders would be sought. now, football banning orders are a very important part of this process because england and the british policing establishment have sent a record number of officers to this championships in germany to accompany german police . they accompany german police. they accompany german police. they accompany fans all the time and before, before tournament starts, those with a banning order have their passports confiscated so they can't

travel. so some 1800 fans who probably want to watch england can't because of their links to hooliganism and violence, possibly drug taking in the past i >> -- >> how lam >> how many coppers are out there? >> we don't know, but it's a record number and they are embedded with the fans and it's important to do it because these things as we've seen, can flare up very aggressively. now, by contrast, you mean they're undercover with the fans? i think they know who they are. a lot of them travel with, their clubs when they're back in england. so most major clubs have an assigned footballing team that travel with the fans for away matches. >> the known troublemakers, charlie precisely able to go precisely been banned. absolutely. >> but that's not the same for other countries. now. serbia, for example, there are reports the day before this violent clash on saturday that hundreds of serbian known hooligans were travelling to germany. now the serbian fa and their policing establishment aren't on top of this as much as the english are. and while the english have this, this reputation for hooliganism born out of the 1980s and 90s, that's disappeared now, really, that's disappeared now, really, that's disappeared. whereas a lot of these other countries are

developing a newer one, and that's not being cracked down on as much. they used to make me ashamed to be british in the 80s. >> i mean, some of the terrible, appalling scenes in europe, on the continent, even even during non england games, during champions league matches, in the uefa cup as well. >> but the authorities did get to grips. they did now, by contrast, some of the serbian fans. but then they're linked to seriously violent clubs. red star belgrade . they have an star belgrade. they have an ultras group called the strong boys. they're not just involved in football hooliganism, they're also linked to gang warfare, racketeering, organised crime. and get this also political warfare. now imagine those sorts of groups going up against season ticket holders for birmingham city and sheffield wednesday, just out there to support the club and support the team, support england. a lot of them haven't travelled with tickets, 40,000 fans there. they just want to get involved in the atmosphere, they want to be there for the fun. but contrast some of the footage we've seen yesterday, england fans with bloodied heads dragged across the floor, one man being kicked by a group now just looking at him. i can tell he's english based on the group he's with,

you know, being ganged up on by by that sort of force of men. really troubling scenes. >> i'd be really worried if i had a partner or a son that was at the football really worried. do we know how the brits are that were injured ? are they that were injured? are they okay? do we know? >> we know that some people were hospitalised yesterday. but but there are now broader concerns about the amount of the match. that was before the match even started. >> awful, awful. i hate it. >> awful, awful. i hate it. >> the broader concerns now about not just the football hooliganism, but also the wider security situation, because it's kind of gone under the radar. but germany had an extremely violent weekend just gone. and on friday night an afghan national in magdeburg stabbed four people, killed one at a euros party, a party for the first fixture of germany v scotland. and on saturday we also saw a man wielding an axe and a molotov cocktail of petrol device being shot four times by the police in hamburg . and all the police in hamburg. and all of this has kind of gone under the radar because the german supports the german teams. they've had a significant heightened security presence .

heightened security presence. they were fearing a big terrorism threat to this tournament. so far, it's hoougans tournament. so far, it's hooligans that are grabbing the headunes. headlines. >> okay. thanks so much charlie. well, hopefully there won't be much of that as the tournament continues now. should or could rishi be a bit more ruthless? well, that's what his ministers are demanding from him. former defence minister james heappey defence ministerjames heappey will join us next. i finished my digestive. now don't go anywhere.

>> it's 1119 with britain's newsroom on gb news, lando norris and bev turner. >> now, throughout the election, we're going to be hearing from people across the country about what matters to you at home. and today we're going to falkirk. >> i'm michael, i'm 36 and i'm from falkirk. the three most important things for me in the coming election are education,

lie—in and my relationship with the eu and seeing overall improvements in the political system , i've voted for different system, i've voted for different parties in the past, and i'm pretty close to making a decision this time. scotland has a rich history of being an innovative country. you know , innovative country. you know, the education system is not just about teaching english, maths and sciences. it's about teaching you life skills. you know, about the value of things, you know. and that's why i feel that space needs to be very well protected and very well funded, if you like. brexit was like a bad political stunt, i think almost until it happened. people didn't believe it was going to happen. realistically, you know, we had open trade with, you know, one of the largest markets in the world, you know, and we took ourselves out of that and somehow were promised us economic boom and the lies that were told that that's, that's a lot to do with the damage that's been done to, you know, my feelings and untrusting politics and trusting politicians . it's and trusting politicians. it's no good choices. you know,

realistically , because of so realistically, because of so much faith has been lost in the political system . political system. >> what would it take for you to trust a politician and for them to start looking at their jobs to start looking at theirjobs as more of what it should be, which is, you know, people should want to be politicians , should want to be politicians, not because it pays some huge amount of money. >> it should be to sort of serve the public and want to do that job and want to be the country. they live in a good place, and that's something i can get behind . behind. >> all right. joining us now is former minister of state james heappey . good morning james. heappey. good morning james. >> you were chatting away there andrew cherry on being a former defence minister james stood down at this election. by the way, i was about to call you minister. rather astute move, wasn't it? stand down. because according to that poll i saw at the weekend, even wells in somerset. glorious, town that it is your old constituency will fall. >> yeah , i saw that poll too. >> yeah, i saw that poll too. >> yeah, i saw that poll too. >> first one, during the campaign that's shown that. i really hope that's not the case, because the person in the local conservatives have chosen to replace me.

>> meg powell. >> meg powell. >> chandler is, is really good, but, like, in so many places , but, like, in so many places, you know, we've got a, we've got a lib dem candidate who, at the last election signed a pledge with femi. you know, the kind of our future , our choice social our future, our choice social media campaigning to do , media campaigning to do, committing herself to rejoining at and i. it would be so perverse if we ended up in a situation where the right of centre, brexit leaning vote in the wells and mendip hills constituency far outnumbered the left vote and it was 3 to 1 big or 2 to 1 bigger than the rejoin vote. and yet you end up with a rejoin mp. nuts because of the influence of reform. yeah. and that won't be unusual andrew. right across the lib dem battleground , you're going to battleground, you're going to have all these seats where the labour battleground i think is, is different. but but in the lib

dem battleground you've got all these seats where the leave voting brexit supporting tory mps will lose their seats to rejoin supporting lib dems by less than the margin that reforms talk to you about grant shapps. >> and the government announced this, a plan for national service for 30,018 year olds. initially, we thought it was one yearin initially, we thought it was one year in the army, but then grant shapps clarified it. actually, it's 25 days, so that effectively it's one weekend a month, 12, 12 months, 25 days. today, he clarified. it said, no, no, no, it's 30,018 year olds in the army for a year, but they'll only spend 25 days in accommodation , i.e. they'll only spend 25 days in accommodation , he at weekends. accommodation, he at weekends. so basically we've got you join the army on day release. how does that work? >> well, i don't know. and it's a shame to hear, such an eye catching policy already being sort of. well, i wouldn't use that word. i'm still loyal to the cause. i'd just say, you

know, people being not quite clear on the messaging because what i thought that they were trying to emulate. i mean, this isn't this isn't national service. everybody doing it that will be so burdensome to the regular navy, army, air force to deliver this is exactly as they do in some of the scandinavian countries, and where places on it are hotly competed for, you know that everybody is going to do some sort of civic service in their year, but the best gets to serve in the military for a yeah serve in the military for a year. that's what they do in norway. i think , and, and you norway. i think, and, and you therefore on your university applications on your first job applications, if you were good enough to get into the military part of that national service, it's an enormous credit to you. >> although you see the idea of national service is that it whips the ones who were a bit lazy and sat at home doing nothing into shape. because if you wanted to do already do a yearin you wanted to do already do a year in the army because you're fit and healthy and driven, you could do that anyway. no you

can't. isn't it kind of appealing to the wrong people? >> no, because the minimum service is kind of training plus three for both officers and soldiers. >> you could you could get involved with the military in some way if you want to. >> absolutely. and let's by all means, your viewers should go down to their local community cadet force right now and volunteer, because that is an amazing way of gaining military skills, whilst otherwise in civilian life. but this is a bit different. when i joined the army in 2003, there were still gap year commissions then. now that was exclusively an officer sport and tended to be was explicitly for, you know, people with good a—levels getting a one year commission in the military pnor year commission in the military prior to going to university . prior to going to university. this is different. this isn't just an officer sport. so it isn't as easy as that. the system has never been in place previously for people other than those on an officer pathway to serve in the military for 12 months, and what will be really interesting is the military is a great leveller. you know, if this isn't about a commission, if this is service in the armed

forces, then actually there'll be all sorts of qualities beyond academic achievement that will help people into their places. it's such a good policy in the country will be so much better for it. >> what's the point of it? >> what's the point of it? >> well, i think the point of a national moment of civic service, bearing in mind that the vast majority of people would do something much more akin to what's been running since 2015 with the national citizen service, which is a great initiative . i think if great initiative. i think if you've ever had the opportunity to go and visit some of their some of their camps, but every summer, you know, youngsters are doing ncs and have been for nearly a decade now. so most people are going to have that. they're going to do some sort of community project, which just i think helps to build a greater sense of community, greater sense of community, greater sense of community, greater sense of belonging, greater sense of belonging, greater sense of belonging, greater sense of togetherness breaks down some of these silos that are emerging within society, where everybody thinks that everybody else gets it better than them, or they see things differently. so in that sense , i differently. so in that sense, i think the civic part is great. but the idea that for those who want to and who meet the standard and there's an

opportunity to serve in the military, fantastic for them. final point, also really important for the military, because one of the things that i think hampers military free recruitment nowadays is that it used to be that almost every family had somebody within it who had served as a consequence of the second world war. career. national service. now that's not the case. a lot of young people know nobody that's ever served well. >> that's a good thing, surely, because it means we've lived in a time of peace. and it's slightly concerning. as a mother of teenagers, that you might be thinking there might be a war on the horizon . let's get all these the horizon. let's get all these kids signed up. >> beverly, since time in memoriam, mums have felt like that. but when geopolitical tensions rise and it's time to rally to the nations colours, young men and women rally to nation's colours. that's just what we do. and thank heavens we do, because it's given us our wonderful history overseas or here. well, let's for heaven's sake, let's hope so . overseas. sake, let's hope so. overseas. otherwise, no. >> yeah, but that's my point. i think there's a lot of parents now who would say you don't? you're not sending my kids to

ukraine. you're not sending my kids over to the middle east like there are. there are wars happening now that you will not find a british parent ready to wave their children off plastically. >> luxurious position to be in. >> luxurious position to be in. >> yes. and thank you to the conservative party for making that happen. >> as those, as geopolitical tensions rise, the war in ukraine could easily become . if ukraine could easily become. if it's not contained in ukraine, it's not contained in ukraine, it becomes a war that advances westwards. now, if you're saying that your, you know that despite having grown up under the umbrella provided to us by the nato mutual pact of attack on one is an attack on us all, you know, now, because you're a mum, don't think we should go to war for the sake of poland or estonia. absolutely. you do ? estonia. absolutely. you do? really? you think? >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> well that's nuts. i mean, that's basically that's basically turn your back on nato altogether. for 70 years, that nato treaty has kept you safe . nato treaty has kept you safe. >> that we are part of nato means that parents will line up to send their children over to ukraine. you are utterly deluded i >>i

>> i mean, i do think it's about sending troops to ukraine necessarily, but i think that, you know, that sacrosanct article five, that an attack on one is an attack on us all. the collective security that kept us safe all the way through the cold war and hopefully for many decades yet to come. the idea that the uk is going to become a flaky supporter of that , that's flaky supporter of that, that's really dangerous. >> let me ask you as well, james, when you were at the ministry of defence, how serious was the planning for there could be a much wider conflagration. >> it was on people's minds. be a much wider conflagration. >> it was on people's minds . and >> it was on people's minds. and for that reason there was lots of work done to make the force that we've got more credible wins. >> he may withdraw support for ukraine. and doesn't that then make a potential conflict, an expansion of the conflict more likely? >> well, it does, it does. and you know, to go back to what we were just saying, even more likely, if putin thinks that we don't stand behind article five anymore, the thing that guarantees european security is putin knowing that we're all in.

if he crosses that line , we've if he crosses that line, we've got to ask you about your former. >> he would have been your boss if you were still there. grant shapps apps pretty much said today, i don't think the tories can win, he said. we could win, but i'm a realist. we've got to make. what's your view ? is he make. what's your view? is he being honest? is it refreshingly honest? >> i think i think it's necessarily honest, not least because . because, there are lots because. because, there are lots of things that people talk about out in the great beyond , about out in the great beyond, about what's gone wrong in the last 4 or 5 years or even the last 20 years. and one of the things that they talk about is politicians being completely out of touch. and so when you go on tv and you're torn between party strategists saying you've got to exude confidence and a belief that you can still form government, but you do that to such a degree that people at the end of the tv screens going, have these people no idea what's really going on in the world. so actually, i think it reaches a point where the polls are so blindingly obvious that grant needed to be as honest as he was, otherwise your viewers

would have just dismissed everything he had said on the bafis everything he had said on the basis that he didn't have clue. >> yeah, the prime minister concede it too, or can't he? >> no, i mean, i think i think, well, there's a difference between conceding where the polls are at and concede the election. so conceding where the polls are at, le. election. so conceding where the polls are at, he just being honest with the public, that right now , four weeks into the right now, four weeks into the election campaign, the tory message is just not cutting through. and the polls have not moved at all. i think you've got to be honest about that and you've got to resolve yourselves in the final two weeks to kind of make the message even stronger and give it every, every opportunity. so definitely the election shouldn't be conceded. but not being honest about where the polls are at just risks. you looking like an idiot in front of the public? >> james, it's lovely to talk to you. will you come back to see you, james? >> thank you. >> thank you. >> i'm coming back often, i hope, between now and polling day. >> so absolutely, we'll look forward to that. james heappey, former defence minister, and we will go through all the candidates in wales because that is the ofcom rules. but first

we're going to get the headlines with tatiana sanchez. >> andrew thank you. the top stories from the gb newsroom . stories from the gb newsroom. the shadow chancellor is highlighting labour's plan to create 650,000 new jobs as a week of economic campaigning begins. rachel reeves will detail a strategy to inject £7.3 billion into a new national wealth fund . it could also see wealth fund. it could also see parts of boris johnson's brexit deal revised, including closer alignment with the eu's rules in some sectors and more rights for british artists working in europe. reform uk will launch what it's calling a contract with voters soon after the party's leader, nigel farage, refused to call it a manifesto. the party is promising to freeze all non—essential immigration and take britain out of the european convention on human rights. there would also be a new tax for employers who choose to hire workers from overseas.

today's launch comes after a poll showed reform ahead of the tories by one point, though other polls have since put the party behind the conservatives the liberal democrats say fuel duty relief should be expanded to 20 new areas to support motorists in rural communities. sir ed davey jumped on claims by the rac that fuel retailers are continuing to charge persistently high prices, despite falling wholesale prices. he's calling for the current scheme to be expanded, which sees retailers compensated for passing on lower prices to drivers . a third company is now drivers. a third company is now recalling some food products due to fears of possible e—coli contamination. a manufacturer called this is recalling a vegan chicken and bacon wrap , which called this is recalling a vegan chicken and bacon wrap, which is sold only at wh smith retailers . sold only at wh smith retailers. it comes after some sandwiches and wraps sold at major retailers including sainsbury's, asda and boots were also

recalled due to the same concerns. the manufacturers say the recalls are only a precautionary measure and no cases of contamination have been found. anyone concerned, though , found. anyone concerned, though, should visit food gov.uk for a full list of recalled products . full list of recalled products. and for the latest stories, sign up to gb news alerts by scanning the qr code on your screen or go to gb news. com slash alerts . to gb news. com slash alerts. >> cheers, britannia wine club proudly sponsors the gb news financial report . financial report. >> here's a quick snapshot of today's markets . the pound will today's markets. the pound will buy you $1.2664 and ,1.1829. the price of gold is £1,834.16 per ounce, and the ftse 100 is at 8128 points. >> cheers, britannia wine club

proudly sponsors the gb news financial report up at noon. >> good afternoon britain, emily and tom are here with us. what have you got on the show today, guys? >> goodness me. live events. live events always between 12 and three. you know something's going to happen. and today, slap bangin going to happen. and today, slap bang in the middle of the show. reform uk launching their manifesto or as they term it, their contract with the people . yeah. >> and they're doing it in wales, which is interesting tom, isn't it. because that's labour heartland territory that labour has been has run worst when she's nigel trying to say farage trying to say it's not just about taking votes from the tories whenever they publish an 0p tories whenever they publish an op note ahead of a of a reform uk event. >> i'm not sure if i'm allowed to say this or not, but they always say what, where, when, who , why and the why. in terms who, why and the why. in terms of south wales, this one is it shows everyone knows in their view how how tricky the government has been in the whole of the uk over the last little while . but going to wales we're while. but going to wales we're waiting lists are longer , where

waiting lists are longer, where taxes are higher, where the covid restrictions were tighter. yeah, where 20 mile an hour zones have been placed, slap bang up on towns and villages and cities. the message from reform is if you want change, the people who run wales is not the people who run wales is not the way to go. very clever. the change that you might want to see. >> forget that the first minister vaughan gething has lost a vote of no confidence, and he's still clinging on. >> there's a lot to go at, isn't there? >> there's a lot to go at. >>— >> there's a lot to go at. >> it's interesting. >> it's interesting. >> people haven't spoken so much about how the reform party might impact the labour vote, who in some constituencies it may well eat into their vote quite considerably. >> whether it matters on election day is one thing, but it's very interesting to think about that, to. >> so we'll be seeing that live, bringing it to you live. >> of course, wales voted leave. many people forget this is, it has a fairly strong eurosceptic hinterland and back when , ukip hinterland and back when, ukip was a party, they elected people to the welsh assembly, as it was

then, the senate as it is now. it's perhaps fertile territory, although it must be said, none of the polls show reform uk picking up any seats in this election. in wales. but they could make some good second places. >> can we, can i just ask you because i'm being called a conspiracy theorist this morning. >> no, don't ask me this. >> no, don't ask me this. >> do you think the cow should have been neutralised? >> she was going to run it over. >> she was going to run it over. >> i don't want to sound heartless. okay, so i'm just going to. >> i've done it all morning, emily. >> speak to the experts about this one. we're going to have some farmers on who'll tell us. >> come on, emily carver, what's your opinion? >> well, what's my opinion? my opinion is that i read that they'd been trying to stop this cow for hours and hours and hours. i did read somewhere that perhaps it was posing a threat, but that doesn't seem to actually be the truth. this car wasn't. >> they could have got a vet there. >> there are so many things they could have done that would involve. >> they did. apparently they tried a new tranquilliser am i the only one who grew up around cows? but did you grow up by the a316, which is a 50 miles an hour dual carriageway, which is where the cow was headed. >> so i did not grow up in a rural area, but in the city of

cambridge every summer midsummer common has cows on it, slap bang in the centre of the city there are cow gates to, you know, prevent cows and sometimes dogs fall down them and whatever. but, but cow cows are around. you mean a cow being beverley wanted? are ways that you deal with cows and that's not running them over. would have driven it over a third. no, it's not that. i want the cows because you're so mean. so mean. >> so mean. >> she was just. i'm sorry. >> she was just. i'm sorry. >> i just think the police officers finish it off. we give police officers such a hard time driving mcdonalds around the corner and your point is, the driver mcdonald's around the corner has a queue around the block all the time. my point is, there's a lot of people out there's a lot of people out there eating beef who are then clutching their pearls. >> you think they're pretending to care about this poor calf, probably not pretending, but i think they've not thought through. maybe the hypocrisy of being outraged at a cow being neutral , but being outraged at a cow being neutral, but stoic being outraged at a cow being neutral , but stoic cows being outraged at a cow being neutral, but stoic cows standing in a field is an allegory for the people of this country . the people of this country. >> it was written, edmund, like we need to move on.

>> you're going to have to save your literary stoic to us, right? don't go anywhere. >> dougie beattie is our expert on cows. on cows. >> on cows. >> don't go anywhere. >> don't go anywhere. >> we're going to be going to shadow chancellor rachel reeves. he's visiting a port in the south—east to take questions from workers. we'll bring you that in just a minute.

did you enjoy the thingy at the weekend? did you enjoy your coverage? >> it's called trooping the colour . that >> it's called trooping the colour. that it has been going since the reign of george. the third thing it refers to. did you enjoy that thing? well i did enjoy trooping the colour. we had a very good team. i was doing it with ellie glaisyer, which was lovely, and we had the legend that is alastair stewart with us. you did, and fabulous. michael cole came into cameron walker was there with tessa dunlop , tessa dunlop, the dunlop, tessa dunlop, the historian. we heard quite a lot

from tessa, didn't we? we did. >> and how did you think, princess of wales. >> i thought she looked incredible. and i immediately put out on social media. she looked just like, my fair lady. >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> yeah. audrey hepburn. yeah. amazing. >> well, yes. but a lot of people read into that didn't they, that, you know, this. so that character. yeah. in pygmalion is the play, of course. and then that character is about a commoner who, who is possibly tied up with their accent . accent. >> well, in a sense and always remains an outsider. kate middleton was a middle class girl who married into the royal family, and she is now a part of the upper class aristocracy. and there is no doubt that her accent has changed since she first came on the scene. she went off and had elocution lessons. she looks but the daughter. what's a charlotte? charlotte dressed similar to mum, but you have to say the prince of wales looked incredibly thin. >> she looked really, really slim and very , very, very thin. slim and very, very, very thin. and, obviously she did an amazing job. >> and she did say that the treatment is ongoing. she's not out of the woods yet. and they

released that rather lovely photograph of her in the woods, actually by a willow tree. yeah. at windsor and i look, whether you like monarchy or not, the king i thought, had a spring in his step. because all generations of the royal family there, the king and queen camilla, then his son, who's the heir and princess of wales, and then prince george, who's a future king, too. i thought it looked. they look great. i've never been much of a well, not that i'm not a royalist. >> i was like, yeah, they're all right. i quite like them. but you know what? now, in 2024, i think we really need them because as we're moving towards a world in which every country is starting to look the same, the governments all think the same. the issues are all the same. the issues are all the same all across the world. we're living in a very strange time. so let's keep our nation state, let's keep our identity of our royal family. we're really going to need them. >> who would have bothered to look in if that was the president and the president? it could have been a lady president , a woman president, of course, and her partner. you wouldn't be interested . and trooping the interested. and trooping the colour, it's quite an anachronistic old ceremony , but anachronistic old ceremony, but it looked good. and they do it brilliantly, don't they ?

brilliantly, don't they? >> they do. colgate colgate is carrying on. i can't lie to, lynne says. >> i see that you're being outnumbered by 8 to 8, 6 to 1. >> maybe on here. i see how bev is now downgraded. the motorway to a dual carriageway, says lynne. well, it's the a3 one six that becomes the m3 route about there. there would have been warnings along the dual carriageway. it isn't that kind of dual carriageway. there aren't electric signs there. if it's true , they've been trying it's true, they've been trying to subdue the car for several hours . hours. >> it is a manifest failure of the emergency services that they did not get a vet there who could have simply 10:00 on a friday night, a tranquilliser. >> where are you going to find where are you going? to find a vet with a tranquilliser dart. we don't live in the serengeti. >> there are veterinary hospitals that are open 24 hours, but with a tranquilliser. >> i mean, if you just think about the speed with which the cow is obviously distressed and scared and it's running towards the main road in the dark that could get with it just. but you've got to get the vet there. but that could happen in five seconds. the cow could be on the main road in five seconds and take out three cars in a massive pileup. i'm not take three hours

to get a vet capable of subduing, but it would need to be three seconds to stop it going on the main road. it's not going on the main road. it's not going to get there in three seconds. i'm on the side of the police officer. i hope he's okay today. it might be a sheep. no it was a man. was it? yeah. it was, bev, are you out of your mind? says margaret. quite often. she is, the cow would not have been hit like that with a truck . i was knocked down by a truck. i was knocked down by a careless motorist at traffic lights. i'm sorry , margaret. lights. i'm sorry, margaret. that's awful. it's not fun. no. there was an accompanying mobile phone video where the animal just walked up to the person filming it stood there. they had been trying to get this cow for a couple of hours. and the man, apparently the man who we ran over , rang all the police and over, rang all the police and said, you've got to get this cow. just run me over. >> more reason the police office should not have needed to use a police car to subdue a calf. if they'd been trying to do it for two hours. what should they have done? they get the veterinary off, get the three vets tried three vets, so they need three vets at 10:00 on a friday night in feltham. >> hard enough they can't lasso it. what can you do?

>> really sick. i could get my cat to a veterinary hospital within half an hour. >> my cat wouldn't have caused six a car pile up on the a316. >> the what i'm saying is there are vets working 24 seven. >> yeah, but they weren't there in that moment when that decision had to be made. it's really sad for the cow, but if that cow had escaped and it had had a massive crash, which was not to be on the realms of possibility because it's not what you expect, is it? in the middle of the night? >> you're just thinking it's a bit mean. it's going to be on the roast beef at some point. but this is the irony. >> everyone who's eating roast beef and going to the mcdonald's drive through right around the corner from where this happened don't normally care about that. but suddenly the police are at fault. i'm in defence of the police. >> i was just about to make a joke about roast beef at mcdonald's, but i won't, so i don't want to be sued now. we spoke earlier to james heappey, the former defence minister, who was referred to the constituency he used to represent, which is wells and mendip hills. so the law says we have to go through all the candidates. so the candidates are joe joseph, labour party, meg powell, chandler, conservative tessa munt, liberal democrat helen himars for the reform party,

claire craig clark for the independent. >> and abbie maguire is also an independent and peter welsh for the green party. >> up next we're going over to windsor because prince andrew is expected to be removed or won't be taking part in the order of the garter procession at windsor for the third year in a row. more humiliation for the queens as it always used to say. favourite son,

gb news. >> rachel reeves is delayed. >> rachel reeves is delayed. >> delayed? so you've got that j'oy >> delayed? so you've got that joy to look forward to in the next hour. rachel reeves, the shadow chancellor. >> if you've got in your hands the cables falling out . is he the cables falling out. is he about to garrotte me? right? no, i might do if i would have done if you'd run over that count. >> no, let's not go on about the cow again today. >> that means the king and the queen will attend the annual service to mark the oldest british order of chivalry. >> it's at windsor castle, of course. and joining us there is our royal correspondent , cameron

our royal correspondent, cameron walker, fresh from his triumph at trooping the colour on saturday. cameron, glorious day today for it, but not such a glorious morning, it appears, for the duke of york . for the duke of york. >> yes, andrew, completely different weather to what we had on saturday when we all got drenched. it's beautiful sun and blue skies here in windsor. but yes, there is a bit of an elephant in the room. and that is the duke of york. i'll tell you exactly why in a second. but first, just to explain what garter day is. it's the oldest, most senior order of chivalry in britain for over 700 years. around for centuries, i should say, it was just limited to aristocracy. but now the knights and the ladies come from all walks of life. as long as they've provided public service to this country or personal service to the monarch and the crown. now, there was a bit of a question mark whether today was actually going to go ahead or not because of the general election. buckingham palace said that each royal engagements would be decided on a case by case basis, depending on whether or not it was going to distract from the general election. but

because knights and ladies are appointed at the sole discretion of king charles the third and parliament and the government do not get involved, it was thought appropriate that it could go ahead.so appropriate that it could go ahead. so we are expecting the king. we're expecting the queen, the prince of wales. we're not expecting the princess of wales . expecting the princess of wales. she is still undergoing cancer treatment and she's only doing a limited amount of engagements. prince andrew will be here. he is a knight of the garter, but he's only going to be taking part in the private elements of the day, so he'll be inside the throne room of the garter throne room for the investiture. he'll also be there for the private lunch, but he will not be inside saint george's chapel. he will not be processing down with other members of the royal family, wearing the finery of the velvets robes. so a busy day for members of the royal family here. all right, cameron, thanks for that. >> that's cameron walker, so we'll be there. but seen but not heard. not seen, not heard prince andrew. pretty humiliating, prince andrew. pretty humiliating , isn't it? humiliating, isn't it? >> it's a bit of humiliating, isn't it , >> it's a bit of humiliating, isn't it, last >> it's a bit of humiliating, isn't it , last few >> it's a bit of humiliating, isn't it, last few messages from you. i think your mic. isn't it, last few messages from you. i think your mic . your mic you. i think your mic. your mic is there. >> beverly just wishes my mic had fallen off a little earlier

because it means i can't speak. >> just sit there and look pretty. all right, we're done for today . we'll be back for today. we'll be back tomorrow morning at 930. emily and tom are with you now for good afternoon, britain. see you tomorrow. see you . tomorrow. see you. >> it's the final big man ephesto launch day today. of the major parties that is reform uk. they've travelled to south wales to announce what they're calling a contract with the people. we'll be there live. >> we will indeed. and labour is pledging to create 650,000 new jobs. this comes with a big net zero pledge. the conservatives are attacking them for it, saying that it will make things colder and will make us poorer. so who's right? all of that after your weather? >> looks like things are heating up boxt boiler oilers, sponsors of weather on gb news is . of weather on gb news is. >> hello and welcome to your gb news weather update brought to
