victims are believed to have been murdered . we also saw a been murdered. we also saw a helicopter circling the area earlier and officers now guarding the crime scene. the body parts thought to belong to two adult men, were dumped at bristol's clifton suspension bridge on wednesday evening. the main suspect, described as a bearded man wearing a black adidas cap. you can see the latest images released there from cctv footage on the screen. that man is believed to have travelled from london to bristol, where he dumped the human remains. police are now issuing a warning to the public not to approach him and if they see him to call 999 immediately. the security guard who plotted to kidnap, to rape and to murder holly willoughby, has been described today as a calculating sexual predator. chelmsford crown court was told. gavin plumb, who has been jailed today for at least 15 years, had graphic and sexualised conversations with others online about attacking the tv presenter. detective chief inspector greg wood, from essex

police, led the investigation plan. >> this attack on miss willoughby over a two year penod willoughby over a two year period scoping her movements si king seeking help from others and buying items that would incapacitate and inflict violence . he is not a fantasist. violence. he is not a fantasist. he's a calculating sexual predator who has spent his adult life seeking to inflict violence on women . on women. >> the new justice secretary has confirmed today that urgent measures are needed to tackle what she's called the overcrowding crisis. in prisons. on a visit to five wells prison, shabana mahmood warned that the overflowing jails could lead to what she called chaos in the criminal justice system . she criminal justice system. she claims the police will soon be unable to detain criminals, and courts will be forced to delay trials. the early release scheme means some inmates will now be freed after serving just 40% of their sentence . and as we heard their sentence. and as we heard from patrick at the top of the houn from patrick at the top of the hour, us president joe biden is

now insisting he will push ahead with his re—election bid despite two standout mistakes at the nato summit this week. speaking at the end of the three day eventin at the end of the three day event in washington, he referred to the ukrainian president as president putin and mixed up his own vice president with his election rival, donald trump . election rival, donald trump. >> crane will prevail in this war and will stand with them every single step of the way . every single step of the way. that's what the compact says loudly and clearly. and now i want to hand it over to the president of ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination . ladies and determination. ladies and gentlemen, president putin, president putin, you beat president putin, you beat president putin, you beat president putin, president zelenskyy, i'm so focused on beating putin. >> and on the topic of joe biden, we're just reading here a line from the reuters news agency quoting a biden campaign official saying that he will probably continue to make gaffes and that biden has , he says, and that biden has, he says, been making gaffes for more than 40 years. that latest line into

us from reuters, we'll bring you more on that as we get it turning, though, to space. the space company has been told by us regulators to ground its falcon nine rocket after one broke apart a few minutes following its launch. the upper stage engine malfunctioned, meaning 20 satellites were unfortunately deployed in a low orbit where they will eventually burn up in earth's atmosphere. it's the first failure of the falcon nine rocket in nearly a decade. and finally , england decade. and finally, england manager gareth southgate says his team's big match experience will be vital in their euro 2024 showdown against spain on sunday. they've reached the tournament's final for the second time in a row after being beaten by italy on penalties at wembley in 2021. but ahead of sunday's match, the king has asked the england squad to alleviate the blood pressure of the nation by avoiding any late drama in the final. but the king is not the only one predicting the outcome. psychic penguins at the outcome. psychic penguins at the london zoo are predicting disappointing results . i'm not

disappointing results. i'm not sure we can rely on penguins. i'll stick with the king's optimism instead. those are the latest gb news headlines. for now, i'm sam francis, back with you for another update at 10:00 for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code, or go to gbnews.com. >> forward slash alerts . >> forward slash alerts. >> forward slash alerts. >> welcome along. it's taken just a week of labour in power for the trade unions to threaten monumental strike action. get ready for starmageddon. yesterday, when asked if he'll give the unions what they want, the prime minister said no. obviously there are a number of pay obviously there are a number of pay settlements to be gone through on an annual basis, but the finances are in a very poor state. i think that's obvious. all right. but the deputy prime minister, angela rayner , seems minister, angela rayner, seems to have promised the unions

something completely different. >> labour will start by bringing forward an employment rights bill to legislate for this within the first 100 days of entering office. that's a cast iron commitment. >> and then on the front of the guardian today, the unions start piping up guardian today, the unions start piping up about whopping great big pay rises. the national education union is run by this guy, daniel covid. >> it's about time we globalise the intifada . yes the intifada. yes >> yeah, that's great, isn't it? he's reacted to starmer's comments by saying, this is not what we want to hear from the new prime minister. we expect an above inflation teacher pay offer that is fully funded, failing to provide properly funded pay increases will have severe costs in terms of recruitment, retention and the delivery of education. education is already at breaking point. another below inflation pay rise will break it. expect a teachers strike soon. everybody in nursing a royal college of

nursing spokesperson said the next nhs pay award must be fair and come swiftly. we will consult our members on whether it meets their expectations. any pay it meets their expectations. any pay award must begin to turn around the staffing crisis in our health service. how long before the nurses are back out? local councils, the unite union rejected a pay offer of just under 6. apparently 85% of their members voted against it. well, should we have a look at what's already happening in scotland? so in scotland, where labour have just overturned the snp, largely a fresh wave of strike action by council workers could close schools and nurseries across scotland. just a few weeks into the new school term. unison, the nation's largest pubuc unison, the nation's largest public sector union, has written to all local authorities in scotland to inform them that strike ballots will be issued to more than 38,000 workers in schools. early years and family centres. they already have a ballot in place for waste recycling and street cleaning staff. in a vote closing wednesday next week. reportedly, bin collectors from both the gmb

and unite unions have already voted for strike action after rejecting a pay offer . buckle up rejecting a pay offer. buckle up everybody. labour strike armageddon is possibly just a couple of months away. let's get a thought to my panel this evening. i am joined by former bbc and itv chief political correspondent is john sergeant, entrepreneur joana jarjue and of course as well broadcaster alex armstrong . john starmageddon is happening. >> well, no, it's not quite like that. but there are two sides to this. the unions have got to prove that they have influence over the government . the over the government. the government have got to prove that by being closer to the unions and the conservatives, were it helps the economy . so were it helps the economy. so it's a bit more complicated than let's have a great big row straight away. whoever comes into the frame, first of all, and test the government over pay rises, well, don't be surprised. don't be surprised if the government stand firm, because if they don't stand firm, the whole argument is going to unravel for them. so the assumption that the moment they

come into power , they distribute come into power, they distribute vast pay rises to all their union chums. >> i get that, but has anyone told that to angela rayner? because we played a clip there at the trade union congress, where she's offering all sorts of stuff and now, look, we've got but not teachers, not on pay- got but not teachers, not on pay. fine but teachers, nurses refuse collectors, we've got council workers . they're all council workers. they're all trying it on. alex. yeah. >> yeah, they absolutely are. >> yeah, they absolutely are. >> we're heading to another winter of discontent. this is james callaghan. all over again. and the failure i think what a lot of trade unions and leftist thought this would be payday for them, that they'd walk in. people like angela rayner have been gearing up to hand over all the cash, keep inflation high at the cash, keep inflation high at the cost of working people to give it over to, to their union bosses. and i've been saying this for weeks and i'm going to be right. angela rayner is scratching on number 10 already. she's making her play. she's cosying up to the unions and she's going to be their girl. as keir starmer starts to lose support. >> joanna, this is going to be sadiq khan's london all over again. don't worry, i'll stop the strikes. i'll stop the strikes. every other flipping week. someone's out on strike in

london. this is just going to be the country now, isn't it? >> well, not necessarily. i think we have to give them a chance at the end of the day. it's been a week and you know, they've done well in the sense that we're hearing some good things, at least from the junior doctors. my worry is the fact that, let's say if they do reach an agreement with the junior doctors and it doesn't end up being the 35, but close to it, you've got all of these other people as well, local council workers, teachers, all of these other, you know, professionals who are also going to think , who are also going to think, well, hang on a minute, you've had it, they've had it. so what about us as well? and the reality is that if labour aren't going to put taxes up and if they've made commitments saying they're not going to increase vat and other ways of actually raising money to fund this, then how are they actually going to be able to do it? so maybe it's good that angela rayner to actually get them on side to an extent. >> well, sure. but this is exactly what the opposite to what you were saying when the tories were in government. we need to get round the table. remember that they are getting round the table. oh, they're getting round the table to tell them to f off. i think that's what they're doing. not saying it's true. well that's angela

rayneris it's true. well that's angela rayner is telling them one thing. the prime minister is telling them out the other. this is the division of the labour party that we've been talking about for months. and months and months. that hasn't surfaced yet. >> but i think one thing that's significant, and i think that one thing that actually makes a difference is when you get around the table with somebody who doesn't already have their defences up. so i think angela rayner just wants to get them onside. >> they've got a chance now. they've got to do it very early on with this government. if they blow it and everyone sees them just giving in to everybody, it would be catastrophic. they know this perfectly well . everyone in this perfectly well. everyone in the trade union movement knows the trade union movement knows the whole game about bargaining and all the rest of it. what they're trying to do is to create a better atmosphere between the unions, the people who are working, the people who are demanding money. it looks like it's going junior doctors will not get. i tell you, i'm promising you now, they will not immediately get 30. >> yeah, they've said that . >> yeah, they've said that. >> yeah, they've said that. >> everybody knows. >> everybody knows. >> the difficulty for starmer is, you know, this whopping great big majority. all of a sudden if we have the teachers out on strike, if you've got nurses out on strike, junior doctors back out on strike, refuse collectors back out on strike, up in scotland, where

they've just done rather well there for the first time in a good number of years. snp, we're expecting strikes potentially in the next couple of months there that could shut schools down. you know, all of a sudden, you know, that majority. what's going to be going on behind keir starmer at pmqs. they're all going to be wanting to be on the picket lines. >> but the labour government under callaghan remember they created the winter of discontent. they were saying no to the unions. they were saying ho. 110. >> no. >> what they're saying now, though, no, but they're saying no. but don't. >> starmer saying but it's not a complete flat out both ways. >> you can't say, oh, they'll give in easily. >> you can't say, oh, they'll give in easily . and let's go give in easily. and let's go back to the winter of discontent. the winter of discontent. the winter of discontent was a real bitter argument between a labour government and the unions demanding more money. that's what i think. >> i think the problem is to some extent, because you've got all of these different people in different professions wanting a pay different professions wanting a pay rise, they're going to have to prioritise and that's the problem where, you know, you're saying that you want more teachers and one of the reasons why the teaching union and people like that also want a pay rise is for recruitment and retention. and i know this because i sat on a board for a school trust. so i know that it's really important, but how are you going to get that

recruitment if you don't give them? >> this is the problem of power now, isn't it ? for years >> this is the problem of power now, isn't it? for years and years and years, there's been to easy sit on. the opposition benches say that you're on the side of the workers. you know, maybe turn up at the odd picket line, maybe say , isn't it just line, maybe say, isn't it just an absolute disgrace that nurses are underpaid and teachers are underpaid? look at what the tories have done. wallopi two months in or three months in, you've got strike, strike, strike. what are you going to do about it? i don't see how this is over. >> yeah, this is it, right? they thought this was going to be payday thought this was going to be payday for them. they thought labour government's coming in. we're all going to be flooded with cash in the public sector. the reality is there is no money. labour don't want to raise taxes because they're already at record highs. they're going to have to, let's be honest about that. even tony blair said at least 50 billion. and the reality is, is that they're now going to be held by by by the trade unions. >> you can't you can't say the keir starmer and the and the and the now the cabinet have been saying it's going to be easy. we give lots of money. they're not saying it all through the election campaign, but pat's argument but pat's argument wasn't lots of pat's argument,

john. >> they've been out on the picket lines. they've been out saying, we're going to fix this for you. when they don't actually know. >> they've said they're going to fix it by getting round the table. >> the absolute like, you know, scenario that i can see coming in a few months time is keir starmer standing up and saying one thing about the unions and angela rayner being caught on a microphone somewhere, or in a different interview saying the exact opposite, and then the labour party is completely , labour party is completely, absolutely right. and every single penny who i would be absolutely right contest, who would you back, keir starmer or angela? >> also the same way that ed miliband beat out his very popular brother david miliband. guess why? because the unions were in. >> that's another thing as well. it's worth noting keeping an eye on ed miliband wants all the money in the world to do what he wants to do. we've got a clip of him later on in the show. by the way. nugget himself on the ukulele. they certainly want all the money we've got him and he wants all the money. okay. and then and then we've got as well. you know, a couple of other people knocking about there in the labour party. we've got a vote on the two child benefits cap that is being brought essentially against the labour party by itself. and that's going to happen in the next couple of weeks. it is. it's

exciting stuff. >> can i just say what we had? >> can i just say what we had? >> can i just say that this could actually be their strategy behind closed doors? the whole good cop bad cop thing. the unions need some to feel like they've got someone on the inside advocating for them. and angela, no one's buying it. no one's buying it. angela rayner was an excellent union leader. >> bear in mind that these labour mps, they're in power. they're so excited about this. and don't they're not going around moaning, saying, isn't it awful? we've got no money. they're thrilled to bits. >> reality is, keir starmer is the most unpopular incoming prime minister in history. they know it. we know it . angela know it. we know it. angela rayner knows it. she'll be scratching at the doors. >> we'll see. >> we'll see. >> what's your problem with angela rayner? leave her alone. >> yeah, leave her alone. >> yeah, leave her alone. >> because this is a problem thatis >> because this is a problem that is not going away any time soon. in fact, it's coming to a head quite soon. i imagine you've got leaders of major unions all on the front of the guardian . a week of labour in guardian. a week of labour in office. absolutely hammering them essentially saying, look, strikes are possibly coming, but coming up , joe biden had the coming up, joe biden had the chance to prove to the world that he was up to the job of president last night. >> and now i want to hand it

over to the president of ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination . ladies as he has determination. ladies and gentlemen, president putin, i had the misfortune of leaving the studio last night and going home. >> and i got back to my flat and i was watching that unfold in real time on my phone , trying to real time on my phone, trying to decipher whether or not this was like i or if it was him. but anyway, so after that horror show, where next for biden and the democrats? we get the expert opinion of a top doctor as well, which i think is important. maybe you could do with a bit more of that. and former executive assistant to ronald reagan as well, peggy graham. but next, prince harry defined the thousands of veteran critics and accepted a so called sporting oscar. >> the bond between a mother and son is eternal and transcends even the greatest losses. >> he was asked not to accept that award, but he did it anyway . that award, but he did it anyway. former royal butler grant harrold goes head to head with journalist lowri turner on that next patrick christys tonight we're on gb news

welcome back to patrick christys tonight. coming up. is it time forjoe biden to throw the towel in? and nigel farage will be on this very show. he's got a big announcement , so stay tuned for announcement, so stay tuned for that. that is coming up very shortly. but first, should prince harry have accepted an award named after a us war hero at a glitzy ceremony last night,

people begged him not to, but he did it anyway. it's time for tonight's head to head . well, tonight's head to head. well, prince harry paid tribute to the eternal bond between mother and son as he appeared alongside his wife meghan markle at the glitzy espy awards. dubbed the sporting oscars . last night, the duke oscars. last night, the duke accepted the pat tillman award, named after a us war hero for his invictus games work. but harry's decision to accept the award was shrouded in controversy after more than 76,000 people signed a petition demanding he reverse his decision. while speaking last night, harry paid tribute to pat tillman's mother, mary. >> i'd like to begin by expressing my deepest gratitude to everyone at the pat tillman foundation led by mary tillman benton, who i'm so honoured is to here tonight . i'd also like to here tonight. i'd also like to here tonight. i'd also like to acknowledge the tillman family, especially mrs. mary tillman. pat's mother. her advocacy for pat's legacy is deeply personal and one that i

respect. the bond between a mother and son is eternal and transcends even the greatest losses . losses. >> but that comes after mary tillman slammed his decision to give prince harry the gong, saying i am shocked as to why they would select such a controversial and divisive individual to receive the award. the recipients that are far more fitting these individuals do not have the money, resources , have the money, resources, connections or privilege that prince harry has. there's no. i'm asking, should harry have actually accepted the award? let me know your thoughts. go to gbnews.com/yoursay. tweet me @gbnews and make sure you take part in our poll. but going head to head on this now. a former royal butler, grant harrold and the journalist and broadcaster lowri turner, thank you very much. great to have you both on the show. larry, i will start with you. i mean, the mother didn't want harry to have it, but he did it anyway. what do you think? >> i just think it's incredibly tone deaf. he seems to have an amazing ability to not read the room. it wasn't like this was a

surprise because the opposition to him getting this award had been growing, so he had the chance to say, actually, i hear what you're saying, i'm not going to accept the award. but he didn't. he also, i was quite surprised in a way that if you decide because obviously the invictus games is something that he's created and it has been really important for the veterans community. but why then didn't he bring a couple of people from the invictus games with him on that evening and bnng with him on that evening and bring them up on stage and then say, this is about the invictus games. it's not about me. and that would have slightly rescued it, but it's not. it is about him, isn't it? and i just find it really shocking because if you look at who pat tillman was, you look at who pat tillman was, you know, the man who gave up a sporting career to join the army after 9/11. you know, somebody who is the this whole award is about patriotism and about service. it's about duty. and yes, harry served in afghanistan, but at the moment we needed him in covid. he left

the country. you know, he he has not latterly shown anything other than a lot of contempt for the country that we would hope he would be taoiseach about. >> i'll, i'll come back to you. i mean, grant the comments there from the mother are absolutely damning, right. you know , saying damning, right. you know, saying that he's had too much privilege. he's such a divisive figure, all of that. and you think, you know , actually, would think, you know, actually, would he have been anywhere near this award if he wasn't prince harry? and is he just stood up there for a bit of clout ? for a bit of clout? >> actually, you know, my views. we we've discussed harry and what's happened over the years quite a lot. i think with this one, i find this slightly different, as lady just mentioned, obviously he's got the involvement with the invictus games. he has served his country, so i can understand why he's been put forward for it. i can also understand why a lot of people don't want to accept the award. but on saying that, i kind of thought, well, why not accept it? because at the end of the day, this invictus game that he's put together is a success. i mean, so many people enjoy taking part

and being involved in it. again, yes. i don't disagree with a good idea. maybe to add a few representatives there, but i think to obviously they're acknowledging they're honouring this . obviously, pat's mother this. obviously, pat's mother feels quite strongly about it, quite rightly. and she's voiced that which equally is quite right. i think that's why prince harry's taking a bit of a diplomatic approach. i noticed the way he addressed , obviously the way he addressed, obviously his mother paid tribute to her. i think he's trying to, you know, i think he's kind of trying to soften the situation by paying tribute to her and kind of thanking her almost, which is a really nice thing, which is a really nice thing, which is a nice thing to do. but i don't really see any reason for him not to accept this award despite everything that's going on. i'm basically focusing this on. i'm basically focusing this on his invictus games and the service that he's done for his country. >> okay. all right. and larry, i will ask you, i mean, the invictus games are a great thing and harry has done a huge amount for that. so i suppose there is a case to say that he should have actually been awarded this . have actually been awarded this. >> well, there seems to be. not

a week goes by when he's not being given some kind of award. is that what he does for a living now? just kind of goes around, gives a few speeches, shakes a few hands, accept another award. i think it's really toxic this the environment he's in in america where everybody keeps saying, what a great guy you are. you're amazing. you're fantastic. i think he needs a bit of dose of britain again. he needs to come back here a bit more rough and tumble. he might have a more kind of nuanced view of himself. my kind of nuanced view of himself. my concern is that, you know, he's being sanctified. he's now saint harry, and that's really worrying. but maybe he literally has nothing else to fill his time with, so this just makes him feel good. i just think that the referencing his mother was so manipulative , particularly so manipulative, particularly when he's got, you know, he uses his mother to say, well, i know that, you know, pat tillman's mum wasn't keen on me getting the award. but, you know, i know what how important the. no, i just thought if he understood how important mothers are, he might have listened to her. >> so yeah, that is a point that a lot of people aren't. yeah. thatis a lot of people aren't. yeah. that is a point that a lot of people are making online. grant

that actually harry's speech there, he will have known that there, he will have known that the moment he had a face like thunder, by the way, when the camera cut to her, as we saw in that clip earlier on, he had said that she didn't want him to take it. 76,000 people signed a petition saying no, we don't want him to have it. other very prominent members of the veteran community have come out previously and said, it's really bad for harry to be doing this. he absolutely shouldn't shouldn't be doing it. you know? and there he was. he took the award and then kind of referenced diana. i just wonder if he was kind of really using diana there as well. >> do you know, it's such a tncky >> do you know, it's such a tricky one and i'm not disagreeing with what both of you are saying. i'm really not. i think what's difficult is, you know, when you lose your parents, or as i have as many of us have, you do reference them. i mean, without question, you bnng i mean, without question, you bring them into conversations. if not daily, weekly or monthly. so i don't think it's unusual for what he said. i i've noticed prince william also does it. sometimes they both reference the mother, which i completely understand. it's their mother. they adored the late mother as

long as it's done for the right reasons. and i think on this occasion is i'm not disagreeing with what you're both saying, because he does obviously mention it quite a lot, i'm just looking from i'm trying to be positive and hoping that it's been done for the right reasons. and as you mentioned, i know that perhaps mother obviously didn't look too happy about the whole situation . whole situation. >> no. and a lot of people are saying, what on earth was meghan markle doing there? stunning with him on stage, what she got to do with all of this? but both of you look, thank you very, very much. that's grant harrold, those former royal butler. we've got journalist and broadcaster larry turner. great stuff. thank you so much. who do you agree with? should prince harry have accepted an award named after a us war hero? a glitzy ceremony last night . us war hero? a glitzy ceremony last night. natasha on your side says no one is denying his willingness to serve, but he really should not have accepted this award. bruce says he served his country and did his bit in the army, so i really can't think so. sorry. so i really think so. sorry. so i really think that can't be overlooked. even if he did throw his family under the bus, tommy onyx says there are lots of issues which are more important than an overprivileged prince who hasn't got a clue how other people live. and i quite like the royal family. all right . and your

family. all right. and your verdict is in 12% of you think that harry should have accepted the award, 88% of you say that he shouldn't have. so, you know, thatis he shouldn't have. so, you know, that is quite overwhelming, isn't it? coming up, he's led reform to parliament. this is back. >> yes. is back . yes is back. >> yes. is back. yes is back. >> wow. nigel farage is going to be on this show shortly with a big announcement, so stay tuned for that. but next, afterjoe biden committed his worst gaffe yet. >> and now i want to hand it over to the president of ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination. ladies and gentlemen, president putin. >> now, i've got a couple of news lines for you as well in the last hour or so. so apparently 90 million quid's worth of donations to the democratic party have, sorry, dollars have just been frozen. okay. and also, they are now having some kind of meeting to decide whether or not joe biden has to go. so we'll bring you any update to you very shortly.

but i am going to be speaking to a doctor about joe biden. perhaps maybe he could do a bit more of that himself. ronald reagan's former executive assistant, peggy grant. that's next.

welcome back to patrick christys tonight. still to come. we speak live to nigel farage, who's got a big announcement. this is going to be telling you all about on air. but that's in a few minutes time, because first, joe biden just cannot seem to

get his act together after a string of embarrassing gaffes. but keir starmer was desperate to defend him after their meeting earlier this week . meeting earlier this week. >> they were implying that president biden is senile. is he ? president biden is senile. is he? >> no. we had a really good bilateral yesterday. we were billed for 45 minutes. we went on for the best part of an hour. we went through a huge number of issues at pace. he was actually on really good form and mentally agile . absolutely. across all agile. absolutely. across all the detail . the detail. >> yeah. okay. well let's just go to what happened a couple of hours later, shall we? >> and now i want to hand it over to the president of ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination. ladies and gentlemen, president putin alive, sharp on top of the detail. >> yeah, it's muddled up. ukraine's president there, hasn't he , with the man who's hasn't he, with the man who's waging war on ukraine. but wait, there's more. >> i wouldn't have picked vice president trump to be vice

president, but i think she was not qualified to be president. so let's start there alive, sharp on top of the detail. >> and he had this bizarre response to a question on criticism from donald trump after he referred to vice president harris as vice president harris as vice president trump. >> right now, donald trump is using that to mock your age and your memory. how do you combat that criticism from tonight? >> listen to him well, all right. >> biden's latest gaffes have strengthened calls from within to stand down. so jim hines, the top democrat on the house intelligence committee, publicly called on mr biden to make way for a younger successor just moments after he finished speaking . and tonight, it's been speaking. and tonight, it's been reported that $90 million of donations have now been frozen until biden pulls out of the presidential race. look, i'm going to go to former executive assistant to president ronald reagan and political commentator peggy grande, and also in a bit.

anyway, i'm going to be talking to a doctor. but, peggy, i just to a doctor. but, peggy, ijust want to talk to you first on this. how big a problem is this for everyone in america, do you think, really, what has to happen now with biden? it's embarrassing, isn't it? >> it really is. and thank you, patrick, for having me on the program. this is a terrible week for the democrats. and it started with the debates , which started with the debates, which was a disastrous performance. and a lot of people feigned shock like they had never seen this coming. but those of us who have been actually watching joe biden for the last three and a half years tried to do his job, have seen him fumble and stumble and mumble. and so this was no surprise. and so the american people are very frustrated that they have been lied to. this has been a massive cover up, and now they're angry . who's known? how they're angry. who's known? how long have they known and why did they cover it up and lie to the american people and ultimately they're worried. we have a commander in chief who is cognitively not fit for duty, not only for the next four years, but for now. and so the american people are truly

concerned about this. they've been lied to, they're angry, and now they're worried. >> yeah, exactly. i mean, actually another clip we could have played during that was that he referred to himself as not being the commander in chief dunng being the commander in chief during that absolute horror show that happened last night. you make a great point, though, about the lies and the deceit. so there's people around him. what i can't understand is why his wife and you know, hunter biden, i can understand why maybe hunter , hasn't said maybe hunter, hasn't said anything to him, but yeah, this is this is actually quite cruel. i mean, why it's uncomfortable. it's uncomfortable to watch. what is family doing here? >> yeah. it's hard for any of us to watch . and we all have a to watch. and we all have a heart of compassion. we've all seen elderly grandparents or relatives struggle with cognitive issues, but those are people that we can lovingly hold the hand and play a game of bingo with. and they're not holding the nuclear codes, and we're not worried about them entering us into world war iii. we have seen this president create chaos throughout the nation. we have seen him create

unease and dumpster fires all over the world. we know that he is not fit for this. over the world. we know that he is not fit for this . and yet his is not fit for this. and yet his wife, his son, and a very small circle of advisers have encouraged him to dig in his heels. he has repeatedly said he is not going anywhere. the snowball is rolling toward him. of people who have asked him to get out of the race and have done so publicly, and in a very embarrassing way. but as early as as recently as today, he said he's not going anywhere, and i think he's going to hold that money hostage. $220 million in the war chest that only he or kamala harris can use. and kamala harris can use. and kamala harris can use. and kamala harris is not a great replacement for joe biden kamala harris is not a great replacement forjoe biden at this point. >> no. and can i just just to kind of try to localise it a bit here to us here in the uk, right. this, i think, puts into context the really disgraceful scenes. i think that joe biden did when he came to visit ireland and he was slagging britain off left, right and centre. he's done it a few times and you think actually, if

this is just some kind of senile old man with a few advisers behind him who are putting all this stuff in his ear, that puts it into context. but there's more than just like the nuclear codes at stake here, you know, it's our special relationship. it pains me to see the world and i'm sorry to say this, peggy, but, you know, laughing at america at the moment because of joe biden, not because of the american people, but because of joe biden, you know, and i just wonder if people on the left now are going to wake up and realise that actually trump is the right man for this . and how can anyone man for this. and how can anyone in their right minds possibly suggest that president biden, for a second term is going to be better than president trump for a second term? i mean, the guy looks as if he's going to keel over at any moment. >> well, this has been going on for years . and those of us who for years. and those of us who have been telling the truth, we listen to joe biden when he said, well, for those who think that too i'm infirm to hold this job, just watch me. well, we have watched him. we've watched him trip upstairs and fall on his bike and mumble his words. and people are very worried . and and people are very worried. and to your point, it's not just

people here in the united states of america. we know that across the world, our allies no longer trust us. and even more worrisome, our enemies no longer fear us. and that is a dangerous place that joe biden has put us into . and frankly, even if they into. and frankly, even if they get rid of him, whether it's kamala harris, whether it's anybody else that they choose to put up on this platform, their policies are wrong . americans policies are wrong. americans know it. they know that they're less safe. they're more poor, and the wide open borders have just endangered all americans. we see it. we know it , just endangered all americans. we see it. we know it, and even the democrats can't hide it anymore. >> you know, i think all of this talk, it seems it seems from what i can gather, that everyone sues everybody all the time in america. and it's an incredibly litigious environment. i mean, you know, president trump has found that out the hard way, hasn't he? but i just wonder whether those advisers and those people who are in joe biden's inner circle, the damage that they have done potentially to they have done potentially to the world, actually, by propping this guy up and trying to mask the fact that they must know

that he can't even tie his own shoelaces , that, i mean, it shoelaces, that, i mean, it feels like it should be a criminal offence. i don't know whether or not it is, but, peggy, can i just say a massive thank you to you? always a pleasure to have you on the show. always great to see you. you take care and i'll see you again very, very soon. that's peggy grande there, who is political commentator now and of course, was the former executive assistant to president ronald reagan. coming up, we take you exclusively in size. good. this the meeting of a left wing, radical left wing group set to cause chaos when parliament opens next week. we managed to get a report from the insider, one of their meetings. they are essentially planning to attack parliament next week. we'll give you the inside story. plus, it's another issue for a boeing aircraft . apparently. i'm going aircraft. apparently. i'm going to play you a clip that oh gosh, it'll make your heart sink. but next he's led reform to parliament. but now nigel farage is back on this he's got a big announcement for you that's coming next. stay

welcome back to patrick christys. tonight coming up. are labour going to take us back to the 1970s? we're also going to take you inside a meeting of a radical left wing group threatening to attack parliament next week. it's a gb news exclusive, but first. >> farage. nigel paul reform uk 21,225. >> believe me folks, this is just the first step of something thatis just the first step of something that is going to stun all of you. >> nigel farage mp is back on gb news. the people's channel, britain's news channel and i'm delighted to say the man himself joins me now. now, nigel i will i will throw it over to you to tell our viewers and our listeners what you've got in store for them. come on. >> well, first things first, patrick. and even more important

is that today was born my second grandson in the space in space of three weeks. can you believe it ? so. so that's, that's all. it? so. so that's, that's all. >> congratulations. >> congratulations. so >> congratulations. so everybody involved ? involved? >> well, not quite sure. i'm really equipped to be a modern granddad, but. hey, so. so we've got that, which is very exciting. and i'm very pleased. so. yes, obviously, it's been a very exciting week going into parliament for the first time, saying a few words in the chamber, getting the sense of the, the history of the place, the, the history of the place, the sort of sheer magnificence of the ceremony . but the sort of sheer magnificence of the ceremony. but i am coming back to gb news and i'll be broadcasting on tuesdays , broadcasting on tuesdays, wednesdays and thursdays from 7 pm. to 8 pm. and it starts next tuesday. and, you know, i've been with gb news continuously for three years. i've said very publicly that it's the best job i've ever had. i've loved doing it, so i can't

wait to get started again. >> 100. i mean, you're going to >>100. i mean, you're going to be shaking it up in westminster. you're going to be shaking it up on the airwaves. i mean, people do seem to forget in all of this. nigel, you are a multi—award winning television presenter. so the idea that we wouldn't have wanted you back once you found your way into the corridors of power is a little bit daft. i am worried , though, bit daft. i am worried, though, nigel, that some people might try and shut you down. it's a labour government now, and there's a particular chap called chris bryant who's in charge of dcms. are you ready for the fight? >> yes, the same chris bryant that slandered me, you know, using parliamentary privilege in the house of commons, accused me of earning fortunes from the russians. so, yeah, no , look, russians. so, yeah, no, look, the instincts of people like bryant are concerning, ofcom. has got mission creep. it seems to want to control more and more and more what is said on british television and radio. and there'll be some battles . but there'll be some battles. but look, you know, there are rules and we obey the rules. we're grown ups, we're sensible. and i think within the limits of those rules, i can still present on gb news and still have big, strong,

healthy debates with loads of opinions, including my own . i opinions, including my own. i really, unless the legislation was to change and that would be the most monstrous attack on free speech, i think it's going to be okay, >> i mean, it remains to be seen whether or not chris bryant decides to pick that fight with you, doesn't it ? really? and i you, doesn't it? really? and i suppose, do you have a little warning for him if he does? >> well, you know what a lot of people who pick fights with me finish up very, very badly hurt indeed. some even top ceos lose their jobs and indeed. some even top ceos lose theirjobs and have indeed. some even top ceos lose their jobs and have to indeed. some even top ceos lose theirjobs and have to resign. so, you know, if you want to fight , that's fine, but fight, that's fine, but i wouldn't recommend it. >> some people will say, hey, nigel, look, you're an mp now, you know, you've got a full time job there. how can you possibly do this as well ? do this as well? >> because i'm not a nine to fiver. patrick i don't work 40 hour weeks or like the french or 30 hour weeks. and that's where the big lunch in the middle of the big lunch in the middle of the day, no. i mean, you know, even today, i was at this desk at 4 am. this morning going through emails, some from constituents, others asking me

questions about the policy or policies. and here we are. it's nearly 10:00 and i'm still going. so you know, i can cram a lot in to a working day. >> yeah. no, indeed. and you know, it'll be really interesting, i think for people to see you and to have that additional insight from you, you know, around westminster now you've got the bridgehead there in the house of commons. and to see how that unfolds, one of the topics, i imagine you will be talking about quite a lot is going to be holding our new prime minister's feet to the fire when it comes to his plan to tackle the small boats crisis. well, you know, we saw, didn't we, earlier on that his preferred choice to lead this new border security command , new border security command, nigel was a chap called neil basu. he's rejected the job. it comes on the same day that four migrants died after their boat sank as they tried to cross the channel from france. is starmer's migrant master plan already in tatters? do you think, nigel, there is no master plan. >> all he's talking about is cracking down on the criminal gangs we've been doing that against the drugs gangs for decades, and it's got us precisely nowhere. and, you

know, even if you put these traffickers in prison for life , traffickers in prison for life, others will come in their place. because on a good week, a gang can make over ,2 million. the rewards are so massive. the rewards are so massive. the rewards are so high, and people will keep coming because no one gets deported anymore. the last labour government were deporting tens of thousands of people a yeah tens of thousands of people a year. now we deport virtually no one. and isn't it funny on that theme that we're sort of emptying our prisons? well, why not just deport the 11,000 foreign criminals back to where they come from? we've lost our guts. we've lost our backbone, and we're terrified of this court in strasbourg. no, starmer, i promise you , if we starmer, i promise you, if we finally get an english summer because it hasn't been much of one yet, if we finally get a few calm weeks , thousands and calm weeks, thousands and thousands cross that english channel. they'll all be young men. they'll all be undocumented. they'll all come from countries that are genuinely posing a high risk to terrorism , that all come from

terrorism, that all come from cultures in which women aren't even treated as second class citizens. and i've just got a feeling that this government is going to be really in trouble on issues like this. pretty quickly. >> yeah, indeed. i mean, i also highlighted right at the start of this show as well, that the heads of several major unions are now either openly balloting for strike action or issuing massive warnings about potential above inflation pay rises as well. so, you know, strikes armageddon is possibly just around the corner. nigel, look, ihave around the corner. nigel, look, i have got to ask you. you know, you've got your your foot in the doorin you've got your your foot in the door in westminster. now and you've reorganised your party, haven't you? and there was a bit of noise yesterday about what that really means for people like, like ben habib. do you want to clear up what's kind of going on there really? and why you made certain decisions that you made certain decisions that you did? >> well, number one, the party is under new leadership. i'm the leader now, not richard tice, who was previously he made appointments a new leader, makes his own appointments, obviously, logically. but secondly, the fact is we're now parliamentary party. and so i felt that the

deputy leader role, which had been with david bull and with ben habib and there's no complaints about either of them whatsoever. but logically , that whatsoever. but logically, that deputy leader now has to be in the house of commons and richard tice is fully, ably equipped to do that job. and secondly, we have to professionalise the party. and that's why i've chosen, you know , zia yusuf, chosen, you know, zia yusuf, this 37 year old multi—millionaire tech entrepreneur, a guy that's done, a guy i've known for ten years, a guy i've known for ten years, a guy i've known for ten years, a guy that's done phenomenally well in life and right at the minute has loads of money and loads of time on his hands and nothing to do. so i've just given him a very, very tough job as chairman of the party to sort the whole thing out. >> all right. >> all right. >> so just very finally, nigel, remind us, when are you back on gb news lighting up our television screens and radio sets next tuesday evening, 7 p.m. >> and that'll be on the eve of the king's speech in parliament, which comes on the wednesday morning, in which we're expecting up to 30 new pieces of legislation , including votes for

legislation, including votes for 16 year olds. i promise you, patrick, there's no shortage of material to debate. >> absolutely. box office stuff , >> absolutely. box office stuff, nigel, thank you very much as eve r. >> even >> and thank you for extending your day for us as well. anyway, your day for us as well. anyway, you take care. all right. it's nigel farage there who is an mp and also still a gb news presenter. so there we are coming up as labour moves to ban puberty blockers permanently. are they entering a political minefield? we're going to go head to head on that one. but first, well, we've been inside a meeting of a radical left wing group that is promising to cause absolute chaos when parliament opens next week. well, why don't we see this ? i'm asking, should we see this? i'm asking, should the police just nick him early? stay tuned. >> for that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news >> good evening. here's your latest gb news weather forecast coming to you from the met office . looking ahead to the

office. looking ahead to the weekend and sunday looks largely dry for many places, but through saturday there will be some showers and some more persistent rain affecting eastern parts due to a weather system that's pushing its way in from the north sea. so overnight, many eastern parts of england are going to turn largely cloudy and there'll be some persistent rain for some of us further west. a greater chance of staying dry. but even here, some outbreaks of rain at times and quite a bit of cloud. for many of us, though, there will be some breaks in a few places over central west and scotland. perhaps here temperatures could just about dip into high single figures, but elsewhere it's going to be a relatively mild start to the day tomorrow. it is also going to be a damp start for some eastern parts. starting off looking in the south though, across central southern parts, some brightness. first thing 1 or 2 showers, perhaps a cloudier story as we head further north, particularly towards the east in those north sea coastal parts it is going to be quite a grey, damp day through much of the day. some brightness, perhaps for northern ireland, and the best of the sunshine across scotland will

also be towards western areas. further east. we will see some thickening cloud and some outbreaks of rain pushing their way in all that rain. then towards eastern parts will make its way a little bit further westwards. as we go through the day. so more places seeing some rain for a time , but it will be rain for a time, but it will be breaking up a little bit as we go through the day. as well. further west. yes, a better chance of seeing some brighter breaks in the cloud and also a few showers . so these not as few showers. so these not as heavy as those that we've seen today. temperatures still a little bit on the low side for the time of year. just about scraping into the low 20s. much of the rain will clear away as we go into sunday, though, clinging on to some rain in the far east of england first thing. otherwise some bright sunny spells again, some showers likely to develop , but these likely to develop, but these won't be quite as widespread as those that we've seen through today, and we'll see through tomorrow. so a drier day for many before the rain is likely to return early next week. bye bye. >> looks like things are heating up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news

that. narcissism inside the back of that . van. i believe that we that. van. i believe that we will win. >> i believe that we will win. i believe that we will. >> well, we can reveal that they are now planning to attack the opening of parliament. it's worth noting that this lot hate labour as much, if not more, than they actually hate the tories. but what you say , how tories. but what you say, how many kids have you killed today? >> chris kaba what you say. how many kids will be killed today ? many kids will be killed today? yes, by what you say . give me yes, by what you say. give me answer. that seems like unnecessary force . unnecessary force. >> unnecessary force. and here's them on the labour battle bus. >> where parliamentary over 35,000 palestinians are dead . 35,000 palestinians are dead. >> right across 35,000 palestinians. for many years, this number is only going to continue to rise as long as our. >> well, we actually had a reporter inside one of their not so secret meetings , and we can

so secret meetings, and we can reveal some of the things that were said in there. so this is apparently politics student connie chilcot. she's the head of exeter students union. in case you're wondering, her pronouns are she her and her student union. page says that she just loves being in the ocean because it helps decompress her from her busy life . anyway, she warned on a life. anyway, she warned on a youth demand call keir starmer. you may now hold the keys to westminster, but we are not going to let you rest because you are still actively supporting genocide and you're not listening, she said. youth demand protesters would be encouraged to get into the road and onto the bridges during protests, adding we're going to show to those people in power show, to the state show, to keir starmer that we are not going to stop . we're not going to stop stop. we're not going to stop until we get our demand met because the stakes are too high. well, it will be interesting to see how sir keir starmer deals with this lot , especially with this lot, especially considering that he's currently got this guy in charge of, well, you know, the climate . you know, the climate. >> so my friend is blowing in

the wind. the answer is blowing in the wind. so here i am on the latest stage of my gb energy tour, latest stage of my gb energy tour , and a justice minister who tour, and a justice minister who has attended pro—palestine demonstrations and even reportedly committed civil disobedience herself by forcing a sainsbury's to close in birmingham . birmingham. >> well, if we know that they're going to try to attack the state opening of parliament on wednesday, why don't police just arrest this lot now and get it over with? let's get the thoughts from our panel. we've got former bbc and itv political top dog. it's john sergeant. we have entrepreneurjoana top dog. it's john sergeant. we have entrepreneur joana jarjue and also broadcaster alex armstrong. alex just get nicked. >> yeah lock him up. i mean that's what i would do honestly patrick if i had it my way. these people want tyranny of the minority. this is what they want. they want to disrupt everyone's lives. they they're doing it for just stop oil everyone's lives. they they're doing it forjust stop oil and doing it for just stop oil and all these other ridiculous left wing or woke organisations and

people just want to get on with their day to day. but the funny thing here is, i think a lot of people before the election thought that keir starmer would come and sort this all out, that he'd be some silver bullet to resolve all of these crazy people's dreams. but they're quickly finding out that this is a issue that's going to go on for a very long time. keir starmer himself lost 16,000 votes as a result of these types of protests. so this is not going to go away. and it really impacts the labour party, as you said, pat, far more than the tories. >> yeah, john, i mean, you know, we're going to have apparently some incidents at the state opening of parliament on wednesday. why can't the police just pre—emptively act here? >> because they don't want to make martyrs of them. i mean , make martyrs of them. i mean, the whole point is, and thank goodness the metropolitan police know a great deal about protests. they know when to when to act, when not to act. you don't do it before they've even done anything. the chance of this being a highly successful demonstration in parliament, the chance are pretty small, to be honest. can i just can i just explain why i'm saying that most of the students who are on

houday of the students who are on holiday , they've now decided holiday, they've now decided they will increase their appeal by talking about climate and palestine? i can tell you, as an old demonstrator myself, the moment you do that, you have fewer people involved, not more people, because you've broadened, you've broadened it. you say, oh yeah, you can do this. you can argue about that. you can argue about that. the temptation for the left wing groups is always to split up and not be as effective. >> i just wanted to really quickly add that there has been arrests of some of these groups made that have targeted infrastructure of the country, so there was arrests a few weeks ago. i don't know whether this would would fall under the same clause. do you want a law? >> you want an offence? sure. yeah. if there's an offence. yeah, absolutely. i mean, keir starmer again, joanna is bang in trouble here. >> i mean, his justice minister now, shabana mahmood has basically done stuff like what this lot are doing. so what kind of authority does she have there to stop them? ed miliband is playing a ukulele in a wind farm. >> he doesn't do that all the time. >> we don't know that , do we? >> we don't know that, do we? but but yeah, i mean, the labor party has kind of courted these

people and it turns out they still hate them. >> well, i don't think that. i mean, they probably think that they've courted them, but if they've courted them, but if they have, then they've done a really bad job because i think that, you know, where it all kind of started to collapse was when keir starmer did that infamous lbc interview where he kind of said that israel still has a right to defend itself and potentially cut off water and electricity . i think that's electricity. i think that's where it just collapsed completely for him. but then since then, since february, he's called for a humanitarian ceasefire. he's recently been talking about as well, about recognising palestine as a state. so he is edging closer to what these people want. but i think that what they're basically saying is we're not going to take our foot off the gas. we're going to keep putting pressure on you and we want to go further. but, you know, to be completely fair to keir starmer, he has done to do more, to make more of a stand. >> keir starmer is not the prime minister of israel. keir starmer is not the ed miliband, but keir starmer is not of climate change. >> alex. >> alex. >> keir starmer just on this, you know, now we do have an energy secretary who is and i

will keep saying this, the most expensive policy maker in british history wants us to decarbonise by 80. by 2050. on top of everything else that he's doing, great rich energy that is thatis doing, great rich energy that is that is basically what they want. you've got david lammy as foreign secretary, who has all but said that he'd happily arrest benjamin netanyahu if he ever steps foot in britain. so you've got that. you've got a justice secretary who's done exactly the kind of civil obedience that these people have done. so the labour party, it is now an adult version of what these people are. >> yeah, that the word adult is useful. what the what? the left wing revolutionaries don't realise, but maybe they are beginning to realise is that the tory government is a much better target than a labour government, because the tories have been in charge for 14 years. they've done all sorts of things that people are genuinely cross about. yeah, but that is not the same with labour. so they will find they can they can shout outside westminster. no. but on that point it's not going to be as effective on that point about them being the adult version. >> if you actually look at and

you're saying that, you know, it sounds pretty drastic to say 80, but realistically, to get to net zero, it's 90% reduction and 10% offset the cost. so they reckon is about well, yes, but at the same time, these are the things, you know, we signed up to things like the paris agreement. we talk about things globally and we say that we're a global leader when it comes to things like this. we also have to put our money where our mouths are as well at the same time. so he's doing the things about this stuff. >> this is the this is the reality, but it's part of it. >> people have got to kfir bibas the british public don't care. >> they want to , they want to, >> they want to, they want to, but they don't. and that's the reality. because politicians like ed miliband and keir starmer have done a terrible job of making the case for these things. all they've told you is how much money it's going to cost are already bankrupt country. >> but what what happens was on that, what happens when people who have been , you know, celebrating. >> yeah. the tories around. yeah. that's great. on >> yeah. the tories around. yeah. that's great. oh yeah. screw the tories. never kissed a tory. all of that stuff. realise that the people we've got in now are facing the exact same issues. and actually all of these protest groups are still just as peed off as they were before. >> i'll tell you exactly what

happens, patrick, because it happenedin happens, patrick, because it happened in the conservative party, they realised they haven't got what they vote for. they voted for someone who's going to be left wing, who's going to be left wing, who's going to be left wing, who's going to give them more pay, who's going to sort out climate change, is going to do all these wonderful, wonderful things and they realise they can't deliver on that, but also the what's going to happen. as i've been saying, they're going to split the reality, they're going to fight each other to the death. >> no, but the reality is i broadly some of the things that they protest for, i broadly agree with, but there's always going to be the more radical side of it. i don't feel as strongly or as if, you know, the government aren't doing enough in the one week that they've beenin in the one week that they've been in power. you've got to give them a chance. but also, i don't feel the need to necessarily be out there, you know, protesting already, as if he hasn't gone as drastic enough because he has to be straight. like, you know, he's just been to, america and he's just been kind of speaking to biden, who obviously is a lot more vocal about his support for palestine, while also saying that he's joining the other 140 countries as an ally. he's got to play that balance. but i think that keir starmer, you know , in in keir starmer, you know, in in his heart probably, you know, really resonates with these people. and i think it's really interesting. i've been really,

really impressed with keir starmer as a lefty in this first week because he's he's done a lot more than what he'd actually originally said. >> for example, one of the big problems for him is that he's got all these people sitting behind him now who, broadly speaking, probably support groups like youth demand. >> they probably support things like palestine action. they probably support all of that stuff. and when keir starmer is confronted with that problem, like he probably is going to be on wednesday at the state opening of parliament and he can't take the line that a lot of these young radicals behind him want to do. i don't know, john. you think he can last, though? >> he's got time. i mean, the crucial thing in politics is always not what are the issues? when are we going to do it? straight away now. no it's not that. it's how can we progress? how can we get together? the new group of people who are running the country, can they be pacified about? we can't do this straight away. we can't do it now. keir starmer, whatever else you say about him has prepared the ground for that. he's been telling people for weeks and weeks and weeks this will take time . time. >> we've got some.

>> we've got some. >> you then say, but there's going to be a confrontation on wednesday. it'll all go wrong on wednesday. it'll all go wrong on wednesday it won't. i promise you, because the all you get on wednesday is a list of bills that are going to be argued about over months and months and months on wednesday, outside parliament or potentially inside it. >> we've got someone there on record who's saying, right, people need to to take the streets. we're organising people to climb up things, we're organising people to do this, that. and you believe they'll win if something i'm not saying they necessarily believe that they necessarily believe that they win, john, but what does winning look like? they cause a they cause a scene or massive disruption. fine. that's one thing. what if someone gets hun? thing. what if someone gets hurt? what if something happens? right. there's really genuinely quite bad. what if somebody who's driving to an appointment, you know , misses that you know, misses that appointment or their wife's giving birth in the front seat of their car and something happens there, and you think the police knew about this and didn't act, but they can't do anything about it because at the end of the day, it's within their civil liberties. >> they've got that right to, to, to protest, you know, and even though it seems like a bigger deal because it's the state opening of parliament, you

had people who were also protesting outside the, when the king was the word is coronation. the coronation >> i was talking about that word. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. yeah. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. yeah. >> people were protesting. obviously it's not the same. they're not spray painting things. and this is where it really ruins the argument for me. >> the police. >> the police. >> the police. >> the reality is now wouldn't it? i would yeah, i'd act straight away. and i think this is what most british people would like us to do. >> just get the job. >> just get the job. >> no, of course they want these intents to commit crime. let's just lock them up and be done with it. >> round up the usual suspects. we can't even keep them in prison. we haven't got. >> do we know who they are ? >> do we know who they are? >> do we know who they are? >> there's plenty of private spaces now that the violent criminals are going to get released from prison anyway, isn't it? >> i'm getting shouted out now, and rightly so, because i've overrun . coming up, this man has overrun. coming up, this man has turned down labour's offer to lead his border security command . lead his border security command. >> are you alert to issues of racial and social justice? yes, i am, and if that is the definition of woke, i'll wear it as a bumper sticker every day of the week. >> some good news there then, but is labour's plan to quote

smash the gangs in tatters already? i'm going to be discussing that. i'm also going to be revealing tomorrow's newspaper front pages. but first, this is a big story. as health secretary wes streeting now moves to ban puberty blockers permanently for under 18 seconds. is this common sense, at last, from labour on trans , or are we about to have trans, or are we about to have another massive row over it? co—founder and trustee of the lgb alliance, beth jackson, takes on discrimination lawyer robin moira whyte. that's

next. welcome back. coming up, i'll bnng welcome back. coming up, i'll bring you the very first look at tomorrow's newspaper front pages. hot off the press . we pages. hot off the press. we have actually now apparently found out exactly what type of criminal labour will be releasing early. so that's good, isn't it? but first, the telegraph are reporting that labour will move to permanently ban puberty blockers for under 18 seconds after the previous conservative government introduced a temporary ban on the powerful hormones. it's understood that wes streeting intends to take a tougher stance on transgender issues, despite anger that this is expected to draw from the trans lobby and the hard left of the party as he acts on the advice of the landmark cass review. the review urged children time to think before sending them down an irreversible path because people were changing their minds up

until the age of 25, puberty blockers, of course, are an incredibly contentious thing. well, we're going to debate this now with discrimination lawyer robin moira white and the co—founder of lgb alliance , bev co—founder of lgb alliance, bev jackson. robin, i'll start with you . would you give puberty you. would you give puberty blockers to kids ? blockers to kids? >> i'm a lawyer, so no, i as a lawyer, i morally puberty blockers to anyone morally. what i would do is leave clinical decisions to treating clinicians okay. >> but morally speaking you would have no problem giving puberty blockers to kids . puberty blockers to kids. >> what i have is no problem with clinicians making clinical choices. and you're right, you they're a they're a serious type of treatment. and it needs to be given with great care. but the right person to make those decisions is the treating clinician, not the government okay. >> all right. bev. oh okay. >> all right. bev. on was it over to you. so wes streeting, who has previously been incredibly squiffy when it comes

to i would argue women's rights as well as trans issues, maybe he's now making the right decision. here we go. a permanent ban on puberty blockers for under 18. bev >> yeah, well, obviously. thanks. thanks for having me on, patrick. nice to be on again, obviously, we're very pleased about this. this is an lgb issue and lgb alliance's it's been one of our major campaigns ever since. we started in 2019, because most of the teenagers involved are attracted to people of the same sex. and most of girls these days, and most are lesbians. and so this is a real lgb issue . and the idea that lgb issue. and the idea that that distressed teenagers, should should be given given drugs when they've got all sorts of problems, anxiety , of problems, anxiety, depression, sometimes abuse in the background and very often problems accepting their sexual orientation. this is not something that needs drugs . so something that needs drugs. so obviously this was a contentious issue. and that's why the previous government commissioned this very, very long and thorough review by hilary cass, which she which she

commissioned, seven systematic reviews on this issue. and she came to certain conclusions, obviously , since the nhs has obviously, since the nhs has decided that except for clinical trials that they shouldn't be prescribed, it was really important to quickly close the loophole so that unscrupulous commercial operators wouldn't leap in. and we know that they are leaping in, and that had to be had to be stopped. and so wes streeting said at the time, he agreed with that. and so we're very glad , obviously, that that very glad, obviously, that that he has simply followed up with what he said at the time. >> well, robin, could i ask, excuse me if a medical professional was fine with it? so if a clinician was happy with it, what age would you go down to? how low would you go when it comes to puberty blockers? if a if a clinician said it's all right to give it to, to, you know, 10 or 11 year olds, i mean, would that be all right for you if a doctor said so ? for you if a doctor said so? >> well, same answer really. but that's a matter of clinical choice. those, blockers have

been used are used from a thing called tanner stage two, which occurs at different times with different children. and equally different children. and equally different children. and equally different children know their mind differently at different ages , bev's position really ages, bev's position really depends on assuming that there really aren't any trans children . really aren't any trans children. i i'm a fairly visible trans person, so plainly i know quite a few trans young people, and in the last couple of days, i've been talking to a trans young person who's making a choice to head into the law, for example, who's been through this process, who's been through this process, who is enormously it enormously helped by having been on puberty blockers. some years previously. and he's living a very happy, very productive life, about to go to university , about to go to university, about to study. and the individual concerned wants to read for the law. and so there is a single example known to me personally of someone who wasn't

questioning their sexuality, for whom this has been exactly the right course to close that off in the last dying moments of a parliament without proper consultation, which is what victoria did. >> okay. all right. i mean, i think i get what you mean, but i do think people might regard the cass report as being proper consultation. can i get you to come back to what robin said? >> there many people do as i get that. >> yeah , yeah, i all right, >> yeah, yeah, i all right, robin, let's go. >> we'll go to i think, i don't know why why, why robin has brought up this example. because this is somebody who's still so young and i'm talking about these longitudinal studies that that regret often sets in like 8 to 10 years later. and robin is talking about someone who's still very young. so what we need really is some joined up thinking here. obviously, we're very pleased that that puberty blockers should be stopped both by the nhs and with private operators. but we need some joined up thinking because these

are distressed young people. we can't just say , right, stop can't just say, right, stop puberty blockers and then not give them any care. these are distressed young people. they have all sorts of issues. we need a massive investment in youth mental health care, and we also need a specialist unit for detransitioners people who come along later. many years later, often very complex health needs and they need a special nhs unit to take care of their health needs. so let's make sure that across the board, we take care of these young people and give them the holistic care that, that, that hilary cass said, look, i think the main problem is we're not allowed to say the truth here. let's just say the facts. you can't change sex. and the idea that that a child who thinks that they can change sex or that they are the opposite sex, they clearly have a mental health problem, let's call it what it is, and give them the mental health care that they need. >> do you think just to i'll give robin the final word on this in a second. but, you know, to take that to its natural conclusion. and, bev, i mean, do

you think that what robin had a mental health problem? >> i'm not talking about adults. i think we must make a difference between children and adults. and i'm really tired of middle aged men telling, telling us what ought to happen with teenage girls. there's an enormous difference between girls who think they're boys and boys who think they're girls. with girls, it's quite often an issue of an escape from objectification and escape from a pornographic world and escape from womanhood. i'd like that. to be clear, this is about young girls. i don't we don't need middle aged men explaining what ought to happen with them. >> all right, robin, there's quite a bit to come back to there, so i will allow you. obviously, i knew i was trans from age 7 or 8. >> i would have loved to have transitioned in my teenage years. it wasn't possible because of where i was at my age, so to deny the existence of trans people, which is what the approach does, is wrong .

approach does, is wrong. >> i was also, i thought i was a boy when i was young, as well. i was quite convinced i was a boy. i hated absolutely everything about being a girl, and i would have gone through all this. i would have wanted puberty blockers and all the rest of it . blockers and all the rest of it. so you can talk about your history. i talk about mine, and we need to give proper mental health care to children who need them. >> both are valid and both routes need to be allowed by what happens. okay, to close off one route to a group of people who all they want to do is to live their lives in comfort and support is the wrong thing to do, all right? >> it's a good place to end it. can i just say thank you very much? it is an incredibly difficult and contentious topic to talk about, and i'm very grateful that you both have done that. so thank you very much. beth jackson there, who is the co—founder of the lgb alliance. and we've also got discrimination lawyer robin moira white. okay. so yes, well that's one thing to watch going forward isn't it. but coming up as the ultra woke wireless music festival . yes. bands, cultural festival. yes. bands, cultural appropriation , clothing like

appropriation, clothing like ponchos and sombreros . have ponchos and sombreros. have brits become too scared of causing offence? i mean, i was so ridiculous i actually struggled to read that. but anyway. plus this man is in charge of your energy bills. >> the answer is blowing in the wind. >> jesus christ. but next i'll you the very first look at

now it's time to bring you the very first look at tomorrow's front pages. let's do it. all right. daily express, first, win or lose, a raisi , gareth. but or lose, a raisi, gareth. but please win. okay, all right. the mirror roars on ollie's plea to the nation. how did the final wills to join army of fans in berlin? pubs to open till 1 am. in hope of a victory party. all right. good stuff, we've got the times now. ministers says violent criminals will go free. the times bumping us back down

to earth. so this is prison releases are only way to avert disaster. i'm going to be talking about this in more detail. we now know the kind of criminals as of today, that labour are saying that they will release early and they include violent criminals. so we'll get stuck into that. let's go to the i now i want to win so much. it hurts, says gareth southgate. or me when i play charades with my family at christmas and go to the daily mail, family at christmas and go to the daily mail , looters could the daily mail, looters could run amok if we don't release prisoners. all right, now look, this is the quote right from our justice secretary. i have got a clip for you of shabana mahmood, our justice clip for you of shabana mahmood, ourjustice minister, clip for you of shabana mahmood, our justice minister, just outlining this in full when it comes to some of the reasons why she wants to now release people early. so let's just have a listen to what she says. then we'll react. >> we could see looters running amok, smashing in windows, robbing shops and setting neighbourhoods alight in short, if we fail to act now , we face if we fail to act now, we face the collapse of the criminal

justice system. >> i'm sorry, but i find that absolutely ridiculous. the people who, dare i say it will be doing the setting alight of things and running amok and looting are in prison. i imagine now a lot of them, and they want to release those. so they're saying if we don't release prisoners , then that's what's prisoners, then that's what's going to happen. i find that bizarre . bizarre. >> yeah, it's totally bonkers, isn't it? and let's be clear , isn't it? and let's be clear, they lied to the british public just a few days ago. they said no violent prisoners would be released. and there will be this exemption. that is not the case. we now know that is a pure and utter lie coming from shabana, shabana mahmood. and frankly, frankly, the labour party are trying to pull the cotton over our eyes by saying we're going to release some of these people who have committed petty crimes. and as you said, patrick, they'll be back on the streets. we are making britain unsafe. why? why is the leading policy not build prisons? >> john? john, there is there is a point there that alex has raised, which is, i believe we were told, oh, don't worry, he's not going to be a load of

violent criminals. but ministers say these violent criminals will go through. >> i think that is probably the definition of violence. you know, it's a question of how long have they been sentenced. but the overall point is that rishi sunak agreed to this. it was then it was going to come into effect. but the election then took over. one of the many reasons why i suspect he wanted an early election, because he knew this was coming up. the trouble is that what what, the minister is talking about there, about the possible of rioting and all the rest of it is simply because the pressure on the prisons actually living in prisons actually living in prison at the moment is very, very dangerous simply because there are far too many people there. there's very little leeway. if they waited for another few weeks , there would another few weeks, there would be even less leeway. that's why they're being forced into this position, and they have the great advantage over the previous government was because they can always they want to make conditions of prison. >> prison. prison conditions are like hotels and this is the problem is that it's not. well, it is because there is plenty there is more capacity. if we were a bit tougher as a society,

but we are very weak. and now now we're suffering as a result of that. we were suffering because we haven't built prisons and now we're putting women and children. >> we have had. >> we have had. >> well, this is the other issue. and joanna, on that aspect of it, we've had actually aspect of it, we've had actually a couple of very high profile cases recently of women especially, who've been brutally murdered and goodness knows what else by people who were deemed to be not much of a risk, who were allowed out early. and i worry that we're just going to get more of that now, >> i'll be honest, you know, it does concern me. and i think that you can't kind of announce something like this without having something else to balance it out . so if you are going to it out. so if you are going to talk about rehabilitation, for example, then obviously that has to be something that's kind of phased out and done in conjunction with this. but also that takes time. you can't just open the floodgates and say, oh, well, we hope for the best that you won't do something. we haven't had that enough in this country. and the worst thing is that clearly prison guards and people working in the prison service are also overstretched, because we've also seen a lot of cases of prisoners escaping and being on the run and things like

that. so how do we actually fix this? >> i don't think that it's make a great can i just say that there's a really good point because it's got a slight whiff of the boats issue about it. right. well scrap rwanda. well, whilst we really do about it, this one. right. we'll release these people. okay, fine. but you know, if you've got a plan to get them back into work or to rehabilitate them from, they haven't done that bit. >> just also stay on the overcrowding thing. >> nobody's suggesting that you can do it just like that. you can't there. there's a real crisis. it's a crisis now. it's a crisis that's built up in terms of all the people that were affected. the barristers were affected. the barristers were on strike. all kinds of things were happening. tremendous problems with overcrowding. the government before the rishi sunak government just felt that this was too difficult to handle at this point. that was the well. so someone's got to someone's got to do it. >> now, this is labour being soft on crime . let's not forget soft on crime. let's not forget we built covid. we built those nightingale hospitals in weeks. right. we can increase capacity on things when we have a desire to do it. but labour don't want

to do it. but labour don't want to say we're going to build temporary prisons to house these people because it looks tough. >> but how can you make that secure, you know, how can you make that secure enough? >> how can you, even if it's patients in nightingale hosphal patients in nightingale hospital, we make it work because we're britain, but it's a prison. they've got to stay in. >> of course we ..._ >> of course we can't. >> we're not making it work because we're british. the opposite of that. >> quickly. i'm just gonna whistle because i want to squeeze in this topic as well before we break. so for migrants, sadly died after their boat sank in the channel in what was a record breaking year for small boat crossings, i think 400 odd cross the other day as well, but the french coast guard said the boat capsized after one side of it deflated. 56 survivors were taken to port and on the day of another tragedy in the channel, labour's bold plan to smash the gangs and end the crisis has taken a blow because neil basu was reportedly the leading candidate to head the new border security command. we spoke about him earlier this week on this show. we outlined some of his well, greatest week on this show. we outlined some of his well , greatest hits some of his well, greatest hits is one way of putting it. but, i mean , he's supposedly incredibly mean, he's supposedly incredibly woke, but he's a former head of counter—terrorism. but he said i

was a very proud cop and crown servant who was very proud to do a very long and hard job of defending this realm. this job is very important. but i'm no civil servant. he's previously said that the police force still needs to own up to being still institutionally racist. he spoke openly about being woke, etc. i mean, part of me thinks, all right, great, he's not going to be in charge of our borders. alison >> no, i mean, i'm quite, quite frankly, i'm happy he isn't. he's not tough enough to do the job. and this is a tough job. and tough decisions have to be made. and you need a firm hand to do that. quite frankly, our borders are being flooded with people coming over here every single day and there's people dying. this is a serious issue . dying. this is a serious issue. and keir starmer has complete fantasy that he's going to have some sort of m15 james bond style man running around smashing gangs in in north africa. he's completely ludicrous. >> this is a this is a bump in the road for sir keir, because this whole border command thing, they would have liked to have got that sewn up. the prisons thing, they got thompson in straight away. fair play to them. they thought this is the guy they want to sort the prisons out. obviously it remains to be seen if he's any good. but but they had that guy in there. they clearly did not.

well, they might have had neil basu lined up. he just told him he doesn't want it. >> no it's a it's a blow for the government because clearly they thought he was the person when they were talking about their plan in general terms. it turned out there's only one person who could fit the slot they were talking about, which was him, and he said, no, i don't even think it's a poisoned chalice. it would be he doesn't think it'll work. >> i don't know why we're even discussing whether he's woke or not. you know, he's talking about how he deems people, how he deems society. and i think that's completely different. clearly, he's been able to get a good record when it comes to his job, which is within this fighting criminals. so clearly he's got a good record on that. he's tough when he needs to be, but when it comes to social issues, he's also got some compassion, which is what we also need because we've got people. he's not doing it now . people. he's not doing it now. >> but i got your points there. >> but i got your points there. >> but i got your points there. >> but yeah, he's not doing it. and it is now. we're well, we're going to have to have a new head of border command. we've scrapped the deterrent. all right. it might not be that much deterrent, but we scrap whatever rwanda was. we're not getting any money back for that. and again, fine. i actually agree with, you know, with the rwandans here. why on earth should they give us the money

back? we've messed them around left, right and centre. they've upheld their side of the bargain. >> you know, it was a policy which wasn't going to work. >> we've defrauded ourselves here. that's what's happened. so. all right. but we're not going to get any money back from a political plaster which has put across the problem, which wasn't going to work. >> i mean, if it was going to work, but the lawyers knew they were going to fight the whole thing through. it just wasn't going to happen. fine. >> but but, you know, now here we are with this situation, which is which is no real deterrent and nobody to front up this new border command, which is going to smash the gangs, which is going to do it all. and people queuing up in calais. but just to wizards on. i know you saw a little bit of this earlier on, but ed miliband isn't busy spending all of your hard earned cash on ridiculous green schemes. no, he's also singing about them as well. >> so my friend is blowing in the wind . the answer is blowing the wind. the answer is blowing in the wind. so here i am on the latest stage of my gb energy tour, latest stage of my gb energy tour , and apparently the adults tour, and apparently the adults are back in the room . are back in the room. >> honestly. anyway, there's been more aeroplane chaos as

well. i'll show you what happened next here. yes, well, i'll tell at the moment, isn't it? that is just the front of an aeroplane. but i promise you it kicks off. but next as well. a festival has banned sombreros and ponchos because apparently it's cultural appropriation. oh, have this sound . snowflakes just have this sound. snowflakes just sucked all the fun out of life. and i'll have some more front pages for you as well. stay

welcome back. i've got some more of tomorrow's front pages for you.the of tomorrow's front pages for you. the telegraph. we start with half of cabinet accused of planning hypocrisy. conservatives highlight how nimby ministers objected to developments. they are pointing out that half of the cabinet apparently were doing things like blocking planning permission left, right and centre. now they're in government and all of a sudden they're saying yes to things. we go to the independent pressure piles on joe biden to quit after putin gaffe, yeah, fine. we've

spoken quite a bit about that, haven't we? so i just thought i'd round the week off with a couple of stories, really. you might have missed. so i'm going to be talking about a well—known british music event, to be talking about a well—known british music event , its british music event, its wireless festival, and they've decided to ban clothing and other items that promote cultural appropriation, organised the event in islington, north london. this weekend, are reported to include ponchos and sombreros amongst the dozens of items that will be banned after reading festival made a similar decision last yean made a similar decision last year. now can i just just say on this? the times is front page today has a picture of tony blair and his wife cherie. how we've missed them both and they appear to be wearing traditional indian dress because they're at a wedding, they'd be banned from entering wireless festival looking like that, wouldn't they, under these rules. but i don't know . do you think there's don't know. do you think there's any shout for things to be banning things that are culturally insensitive in islington? no, i mean, it's islington, isn't it? >> at the end of the day, you

know, no surprises there. but but frankly, it's an appreciation of the culture. most people are wearing it because they appreciate what's happening and respectful to the culture and want to want to be part of it. it's really simple stuff. >> no, i think some of them are. some are being silly, some of them don't realise it's important. i have to say i'm on the side of the people who, if they've got their own dress, which they feel strongly about, they don't want other people to appropriate it and they may not. it may not be possible. is there a strong there's a difference. >> no. >> no. >> but that sort of feeling, if you're if, you know, if you see someone dressed up in a sari who's clearly not indian, i don't thrill to it. no, it's i don't thrill to it. no, it's i don't think it's different. wonderful. >> i know it's different. >> i know it's different. >> i'm trying . >> i'm trying. >> i'm trying. >> it's different. >> it's different. >> okay. tony blair and cherie, wearing that to a wedding is there's cultural appreciation. then there's cultural appropriation where you're wearing something that's very, culturally significant. you don't know what it is, and you're just doing it because you think it's fashionable and you don't. actually, it's not. you know what i mean? you're not actually taking so that's one thing. but one thing that i will say is that i disagree with this thing when it comes to wireless,

because it's like, know your audience. it's kind of quite an urban kind of festival. and i also don't like when people who aren't even part of that culture then decide what's offensive on behalf of people who are actually in the culture. if there was uproar from people from those communities, then i'd get it rarer. >> i mean, honestly anyway, right? moving on. the safety of boeing aircraft has been called into question after a series of accidents and faults that have proven fatal to passengers. unsurprisingly, another one has now malfunctioned. watch as this take off from milan airport goes terrifyingly wrong . okay, so terrifyingly wrong. okay, so this is, an easyjet flight from milan airport , and it's the one milan airport, and it's the one behind the easyjet flight, which is important to know. and the tires popped . it appears anyway. tires popped. it appears anyway. and yeah, so that's before it said, let's see where's where's it, let's run it back people. so yeah, the tail's dragging on the, on the runway. i mean, can you imagine being at the back of that plane or indeed anywhere on it? yeah, yeah , but hold on, patrick.

>> then what happens? they all get off the flight. nobody's injured. >> no, it's not ideal, though, john.is >> no, it's not ideal, though, john. is it ? john. is it? >> no it's not. >> no it's not. >> you wouldn't be hopping on the next one in a hurry. i wouldn't be everything. how was your flight ? your flight? >> fine. but a tail dragging, you know . you know. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> you all right? >> you all right? >> they got out of it. we got out of it. everyone got out of there. >> no punctures on on wheels. that happens, does it? >> oh , did that happen? no. it's >> oh, did that happen? no. it's time to reveal today's greatest britain and union jackass >> john. who is your greatest britain please. >> well, it's the old cricketer, jemmy anderson . his party jemmy anderson. his party packing up today after a fantastic career, particularly in test cricket. people like me who don't know much about cricket will miss him. >> i will miss him. i know he shed a tear earlier when i saw this. oh, jemmy. jemmy, jemmy. anderson. fantastic. good start. come on. >> john, up mine is steve reed mp. who's the environment secretary? so he's met with chiefs of water companies

including thames water. after crucial set of rulings were were made by the industry regulator ofwat. and i just think that it's showing that the government are kind of getting started straight away with the water crisis . i straight away with the water crisis. i think. >> i think we would all like less poo in our rivers and seas. >> i think that would be ideal. >> i think that would be ideal. >> and anyone who could do that has my support. so yeah, phone have gone well. >> you know how i love to have a little bit of a of a slightly different approach to normal. so i've picked wes streeting, for if it's continuous, continue to ban puberty blockers . so there ban puberty blockers. so there you go. that's one good thing we've got. praise him for it. >> good. fair enough. okay. well actually three really good choices there. but i do have to go for jemmy anderson. yeah. good guys, give me some of the best sporting moments i've ever had the pleasure of witnessing. yeah. and also , i feel like i've yeah. and also, i feel like i've grown up with this guy. i mean, he's been playing for 20 years, basically he's been playing for england. so you know, some of my formative years getting into cricket and really loving it were really down to him. so yeah. good luck. jemmy. right we've not got a lot of time now because i've prattled on john, who's a union jack as well as

office. looking ahead to the weekend and sunday looks largely dry for many places, but through saturday there will be some showers and some more persistent rain affecting eastern parts due to a weather system that's pushing its way in from the nonh pushing its way in from the north sea. so overnight, many eastern parts of england are going to turn largely cloudy and there'll be some persistent rain for some of us further west, a greater chance of staying dry. but even here, some outbreaks of rain at times and quite a bit of cloud for many of us, though, there will be some breaks in a few places over central western scotland. perhaps here temperatures could just about dip into high single figures, but elsewhere it's going to be a relatively mild start to the day tomorrow. it is also going to be a damp start for some eastern parts. starting off looking in the south though, across central southern parts, some brightness . southern parts, some brightness. first thing 1 or 2 showers, perhaps a cloudier story as we head further north, particularly towards the east. in those north sea coastal parts, it is going to be quite a grey, damp day through much of the day. some brightness , perhaps for northern brightness, perhaps for northern ireland, and the best of the sunshine across scotland will

also be towards western areas. further east. we will see some thickening cloud and some outbreaks of rain pushing their way in all that rain. then towards eastern parts will make its way a little bit further westwards as we go through the day. so more places seeing some rain for a time, but it will be breaking up a little bit as we go through the day as well. further west. yes, a better chance of seeing some brighter breaks in the cloud and also a few showers. so these not as heavy as those that we've seen today. temperatures still a little bit on the low side for the time of year, just about scraping
