>> well . >> well. >> well. >> good morning. it's 930 on tuesday. the 23rd of july. we're live across the united kingdom. this is britain's newsroom with ben elliott and miriam cates standing in for andrew pierce and bev turner. >> very good morning to you. hope you're well. tory leadership race triggered. rishi sunaks successor will be announced on november the 2nd and nominations open tomorrow for the first round of voting. elsewhere, more turncoat tories reform uk leader nigel farage says more tories will defect to his party this year as it becomes, in his words, an electoral powerhouse and radicalising. >> young men online. a senior

police officer has warned that onune police officer has warned that online influencers like andrew tate can radicalise young men into extreme misogyny , and into extreme misogyny, and prince harry congratulates birmingham as the cities confirmed to host the invictus games in three years time. >> the question being would you welcome harry and meghan back to the uk in 2027? the uk in 2027.7 >> the uk in 2027? >> and breaking news this morning, andy murray has announced that he'll retire from tennis after competing at the 2024 paris olympics . 2024 paris olympics. so we'd love to hear what you think. send your comments by visiting the website gbnews.com/yoursay. and i know, ben, that you've got a big comment about andy murray. i think you're quite emotional earlier, weren't you? >> i was he's my sporting hero. when he won wimbledon in 2013. he won the olympics in 2012. i'll admit i cried. i know he gets a lot of stick because he

once made a joke about supporting scotland and wanting england to lose in the football, but he was only joking . he got but he was only joking. he got a lot of stick from the media for that, and the british public, but i think he's a great british sporting hero. it'd be great if he could do really, really well in the olympics as a final hurrah, wouldn't it? one final goal then bow out. thank you andy, salute my friend, lots to come today, including yet of course, the next tory leader who's going to be in the running. we've got some former mps on board to give their picks. but first, here's your news headlines with sophia wenzler . wenzler. >> ben. thank you. good morning. i'm sophia wenzler from the gb newsroom at 932. >> your headlines first to the us where kamala harris is making quick moves to assert herself as a presumed nominee to face donald trump on her first full day in the race. many of those once tipped to challenge the vice president instead threw their support behind her. that paved the way for her campaign

to raise around 81 million usd. just a day after president biden dropped out . surveys suggest dropped out. surveys suggest she's now secured more than enough delegates to secure the democratic nomination , giving democratic nomination, giving her what she's called broad support. but foreign correspondent sarah firth told gb news that vice president harris still has to convince the pubuc harris still has to convince the public that she deserves to be on the ticket. there is a lot of people out there who are questioning this decision so late in the day, already feeling let down by the democratic party, by the white house and the party around the president. >> and remember , kamala harris >> and remember, kamala harris was in that inner circle. she's the vice president. so all these questions about why didn't the american public know sooner, the state of biden's health and his ability to run for the next four years? why weren't people informed of this ? kamala harris informed of this? kamala harris has a lot of accountability there that she has to answer to as well. >> meanwhile, back in the uk, james cleverly has told gb news that would be illegal. migrants

were praying for a labour government because it would mean the end of the rwanda plan. james cleverly accused the government of behaving in an arrogant manner, accusing them of tearing up the conservatives migrant plan without informing rwanda. his comments come as the tories set out a timeline for confirming a replacement for rishi sunak as the party's leader. but mr cleverly says for now, his focus is elsewhere. >> well , i've always believed >> well, i've always believed that you should do the jobs that you need to do in the order that you need to do in the order that you need to do in the order that you need to do them. so nominations open tomorrow, so thoughts and activities about the leadership of the party in my mind, start tomorrow. today's work is about making sure that i discharge my duties as a shadow home secretary, albeit the despatch box later on today holding the new home secretary to account . to account. >> those are the latest gb news headlines. for now, i'm sophia wenzler more in half an hour 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 . slash alerts. >> morning to you. hope you're well. this is britain's newsroom this morning with me, ben, leo and of course, our special guest this week. miriam cates. how was your first day yesterday? >> well, i think i got through it. i did quite enjoy it after the first nerve wracking half an hours the first nerve wracking half an hour's open. so thanks very much for leading me through. >> yeah, the viewers loved you. lots of nice comments and emails. so yeah, we can have some more fun today, tomorrow and thursday. and then of course, andrew and bev are back in the hot seat from next week. so lots going on today, including the new tory party leader will be announced on the 2nd of november, with nominations for the first round of voting open tomorrow. rishi sunak will remain the leader until then, despite leading the conservatives through their worst defeat ever in the election earlier this month. where you of course, may i'm sorry to remind you, you lost your seat. >> so personal interest in that.

>> so personal interest in that. >> so personal interest in that. >> so who do you think are the front runners? miriam in this bout? >> well, it's difficult to say because there are different polls depending on whether you look in which paper and online. but clearly there are some who are very much expected to declare james cleverly, suella braverman potentially robert jenrick suella. >> do you not think she's going to be off to reform ? to be off to reform? >> well, that's so are the rumours saying. but, she said quite clearly at the weekend that she's a conservative mp. she's been in the party, i think 30 years. that would be a big jump. but it's such a long race, isn't it? so i think nominations close early next week, so we'll know by then. but there could be six, seven, eight candidates even so. even 50. >> even so. >> so you've got say let's go through them. say priti patel, robert jenrick . yeah, suella of robert jenrick. yeah, suella of course, as you mentioned. oh, james cleverly isn't james cleverly the favourite, >> it depends which paper you read. i think i saw a poll that said that robert jenrick was the favourite with members. of course they'll have the final say, but it's up to mps to get it down to the last two, even

though i think there will be four by the party conference at the end of september. so it's a very different way of doing it to normal and obviously over quite a long period of time. so we should see quite a lot of the candidates unfairly or not. >> robert jenrick, who's been very vocal about migration, he held rishi sunak to account very well in the run up to the election on migration failures in the conservatives, but robert jenrick is sometimes called robert jenrick as a yes, as a fairly cool nickname . is that fairly cool nickname. is that unfair on him? >> well, i think obviously he looks like a standard tory, you know, that's what people think of. whereas we've had in the past, quite a lot more people from different backgrounds, i suppose in the party, but i think what we need to be looking for, what the party needs to be looking for, is someone who has a serious narrative about what happened, what went wrong, but also serious plan for the future. who isn't just saying the usual stuff about low taxes , etc, but stuff about low taxes, etc, but to help us to interrogate this more closely, we've got the senior political correspondent at the times, aubrey allegretti, who's joining us now. good morning aubrey. so what do you

think about this situation? are you surprised about the rules and how long it's going to to take pick a new leader? >> not really, because conservative mps as a whole seems to really want the widest possible field. >> and obviously this will suit candidates who probably have more of an outside chance. >> so the presumed sort of heir to rishi sunak probably would have been kemi badenoch. she was certainly the bookies favourite and is the sort of the person who has been the most wanting to dispel any suggestion that she is kind of waiting in the wings, which has only seemed to really endear her more to conservative party members . but now that the party members. but now that the contest is going to run all the way to the 2nd of november, and that actually it will take quite a long time for the numbers to be whittled down to the final two. i think there is more of an outside chance that somebody who is perhaps less well known, who has not been in government and therefore potentially less, sort of aware and on the radar of

members actually can sort of squeak through, do you think any of the front runners will fail to get the ten nominations that are required ? are required? >> because obviously there are only 121 conservative mps left. it's quite a big chunk of the party that you need to get on the ballot paper. could anybody fail to pass that first hurdle? >> it does often happen, yeah, that there are people who do try to run. >> and actually, i think in the last few days we heard of another new entrance to the race. i think it was mel stride who declared that he might like to lead the conservative party as well. so it's kind of open season and everybody will feel like they want to go. some people will want to do it because they think it secures them jobs. in the shadow cabinet, and so they sort of need to stay relevant and show an interest in the future of the conservative party and of course, people like, i think, priti patel. last time she failed to get enough signatures to get on the ballot paper. so it is, natural in these sort of leadership contests that there's a big flurry of activity. but

actually, when it comes to people wanting to put their names down, they tend to start coalescing already around some of the key favourites in the hope that an early endorsement gives them a more senior position afterwards. >> well, aubrey , i think the >> well, aubrey, i think the daily telegraph said the other day that priti patel was favourite with members on first preference, talking about defections to reform uk. i mean, suella braverman has been mooted to be doing that in the last week or so. in addition to suella, could you think of any other names who may be taking the plunge to reform? >> i think some of those that would have potentially been the most likely contenders probably actually ended up losing their seats. >> there were definitely some who were kind of high up on the watch lists of journalists as potential kind of defectors, and certainly there was speculation about them before the election as to whether or not they might sort of do a lee anderson decide to defect in the hope that by going to reform, they would have a better chance of saving their seats. but it's probably too early to tell. i think it wouldn't look sort of very good on a politician if they stood on a particular party ticket, less

than three weeks ago and then defected in the aftermath, i think after the leadership election. then things might change if they say that the sort of the figurehead of the party means that they can no longer sit with them, then that would probably give them enough distance to be able to say that they felt that they were better off with reform. i think the one concern, i'd say, of mps who thought this contest might be going a bit too long is that nigel farage is going to, they think, be the sort of de facto figurehead of the right. if the conservative party doesn't have a sort of new spokesperson, rishi sunak obviously sort of standing there as an interim until the 2nd of november, i think there was a real concern that by not having a sort of another person to take up the mantle from him, that nigel farage is left to just be the voice of the right. >> okay. aubrey allegretti from the times, thank you very much . the times, thank you very much. appreciate your time. interesting, isn't it, with reform, because reform according to their social media analytics, anyway, they're getting they are really tapping into that young cohort of voters, 16 year old plus, who maybe i'd argue the

conservatives aren't doing. because actually, as a conservative, you want to i mean, traditionally you go to university or you'd start work at a young age and you'd be a bit left wing. yeah then you'd buy a home, you'd have a family, then you'd realise that you had something to conserve and you invested in the future. >> and that matters. >> and that matters. >> what happens now, that's not happening because there's no homes. there's no kids. yeah, exactly. >> and as you say, there's not a shortage of people with conservative views. it's just that people don't feel the conservative party represents those views. and i think albie's point was very interesting about if we don't have a conservative leader before november, will nigel farage take over as the spokesman of the right? it's going to be very, very interesting. it is a long time to wait. so. >> so why are they why are they leaving the leadership contest until after tory conference? because surely you want to go into conference with a new leader, new energy and kind of, you know, get everyone buoyed up? why are they leaving it so late? >> well, i think because if you wanted a leader crowned before the conference, it would be a very quick contest and it would be taking place over the summer. and people feel, given the scale of the defeat, the party needs to have longer to take stock and give the new potential leader

opportunity to talk. so we'll see. but i think what could be difficult is if the four people chosen by the conference mps then choose a different two to what the membership want. >> well, the members, according to the daily telegraph, the members want priti patel. she was leading a poll on first preference picks a couple of days back. so pc patel with the members front runner will the party agree? >> well we'll see. we'll be talking about that more later. but up next, our young men being radicalised into extreme misogyny online by influencers such as andrew tate, one senior police officer thinks so . you're police officer thinks so. you're with britain's newsroom on gb news

>> hello. welcome back. it's 946. you're with ben and miriam on britain's newsroom. only on gb news. lots of emails coming in on your say, miriam focused on you. i hope you don't mind going to embarrass you a bit.

malcolm says miriam was very polished for a first go yesterday. she's definitely a natural. philip said. a very plausible and pleasant presenter , plausible and pleasant presenter, beverley said brilliant news. miriam was my mp, great spokeswoman for women and children and patrick said great first show miriam, but stop looking at ben rather than the camera . camera. >> you know it's really difficult because obviously i've been a guest and been interviewed a lot as an mp on this show and many others, and you're told only to look at the interviewer. but of course, now when you are presenting, you also have to look at the camera. so i'm trying to learn that skill. but thank you for picking that up. >> yeah, it's a very unnatural thing to do. but of course you guys at home, the viewers, you are part of our channel, our conversation, this is the people's channel of course. so yeah, it's a very unnatural thing to do because when you talk to someone you like, you want to look at them. look them in the eye. >> exactly, >> exactly, >> but i suppose, i suppose i'm all for learning new skills. >> that's what keir starmer wants us to do, isn't it? >> so maybe, maybe, maybe we need to think like these gen zers who have their phones, their heads and their phones.

all the time who just like, can't look people in the eye anyway, we move on. >> okay, up next, a shocking report out this morning says that violence against women and girls is a national emergency, with nearly 3000 crimes recorded every day. >> speaking at the national police chiefs council, one senior officer said the online influencers like andrew tate, for example, are radicalising boys into extreme misogyny in a way that is, quote, quite terrifying. so is radical misogyny being spread online here to debate? this is the journalist rebecca read and political commentator connor tomlinson. good morning to you both. rebecca, let's start with you . are people like andrew tate you. are people like andrew tate causing, you know, a lot of chaos here for violence against women and girls? >> well , the only person, the >> well, the only person, the only person responsible for individual violence towards a woman or girl is the man who does it. but we do know that people like andrew tate are increasingly popular. the last study i could find says that 32% of young men under 25 have a positive view of andrew tate, and this is the man who has said things that i literally can't repeat on breakfast television, so it is really worrying. and i think it speaks to a much wider

crisis of masculinity, which comes from two things. number one, honestly, boys and men not being held to account, but number two, a lack of positive role models. there are so few alternatives to andrew tate, who aren't horrible. evil men and men deserve people to look up to women. get it? why don't boys connor. connon >> oh, rebecca. at some point to elaborate, when she said boys and men not being held to account as being the crisis of masculinity, i would diagnose as very different problems. i mean, for example, as children's commissioner dame rachel de souza has pointed out, nearly half of men sorry young boys in the uk grew up in a household where their fathers are scarcely or never present. i think that might be causing the vacuum of positive masculine role models in men's life si king causing them to seek out online role models like andrew tate, who i don't think are very productive. but i think there are two big beasts leaking beneath the surface of blaming influencers like tate for this. first of all, again, rachel de souza pointed out, i think it was last yearin pointed out, i think it was last year in the vast, overwhelming number of these cases where it is child on child sexual violence, young boy and young

girl, adult sexual content that children had seen was mentioned in the in the incident report transcripts. and yet even on websites like x, for all elon musk's merits of buying twitter, you can be 13 to make an account. but there's still explicit information on there and the other one that lot of people don't want to talk about is that gen z is one of the most diverse generations that britain has ever seen , and in the direct has ever seen, and in the direct correlative to importing grown men and children from other cultures where women and girls are not valued with the same moral worth as men and their sanctity is instrumental to what a man might be able to claim for his own power and pleasure, violence against women and girls has gone up, and that is an uncomfortable reality. so i would like to also ask who among this cohort is committing these crimes? >> okay, so rebecca, i just want to dig into that a little bit more because nobody thinks that andrew tate is a good role model. none of us here, certainly. but isn't connor right. isn't online pornography and the violence that children

and the violence that children and young men are seeing much more responsible for the real life violence we're seeing against women and girls than any onune against women and girls than any online influencers? >> well, unfortunately, they're all part of the same problem. and also, you can't realistically say that no one thinks andrew tate is a good role model because as i said, 1 in 3 young men does think he's a good role model, yes, absolutely. exposure to pornography is a big problem. the fact that a significant number of children by the age of 12 will have seen hardcore pornography is an enormous issue, and one that should be completely fixable, because you shouldn't be able to access porn unless you have some kind of age verification that should be something that would be really easy to sort out. but violence against women and girls doesn't just come from seeing porn. it comes from a wide variety of sources, particularly this sense of entitlement that a lot of young men and boys seem to grow up with. and i actually agree with connor. i do think lack of men and fathers in the in the household is a problem. unfortunately all of these problems seem to be coming from men. it's not lack of mums in the household that's creating this, it's men walking away from their responsibilities. so whichever way you cut it, it does seem to be that the men and the dads and the male influencers are kind of the

problem here. >> but do you not think, anna, i don't know what you think about this, connor, that actually young boys are given a pretty hard time nowadays, and they're taught a lot about sexism and how to treat women better, which of course is right. but actually some of the more traditional masculine part times and masculine part times and masculine traits are now taught about as toxic. where are young men supposed to go for these role models? connor >> well, if you're teaching young men about sexism and then you're defaulting to the sort of caitlin moran school of men just need and young boys need to just be more like girls and share their feelings and sit around in colouring circles. i don't know, then you're going to build male resentment. and when there were young male role models that were up and coming and healthy, like before the pandemic, before andrew tate, stratospheric rise, jordan peterson, he is and was lumped in with tate as some sort of pied piper for incels, even though he was telling young men to make their bed and repair their relationship with with their relationship with with their father. so i their relationship with with theirfather. so i i'm sorry, their father. so i i'm sorry, but i the cultural hegemony has been one that has denigrated young male competence as proof

of tyrannical patriarchy in all times and all places. and then as soon as you get that for generations, you then wonder why young men might become angry and gravitate towards the type of unsavoury figures like tate who say that actually, no, you don't have to accept this, and you can claim this by force. and i think that's disturbing. but it's a product of feminism's making. >> rebecca, last word to you , >> rebecca, last word to you, >> rebecca, last word to you, >> there was a lot of word salad there, which didn't mean a great deal there, which didn't mean a great deal, but. feminism. thank you for the insult. >> completely irrelevant. >> completely irrelevant. >> there's, the feminism is not to blame for men, hurting or murdering women. it is an extraordinarily to say that in some way, women are responsible for their own murders or abuse to blame from andrew tate. >> you know, i didn't say that. don't be disingenuous. >> what a bonkers thing to conclude, but i'm not sure. i think this is the problem. i'm not sure that people like connor actually come to the table wanting to have a conversation where we actually end violence against women and girls. i think they want to get into the weeds of how they've been hurt by feminism and the great thing is, most feminism don't project. most men aren't upset by being

told that there is a problem with violence towards women and girls. most men hear that and 90, girls. most men hear that and go, let's fix it. not how am i the victim of that? why have i been told it's my fault? so the good thing is, most men fundamentally are good and do want to change this. >> connor. last word to you. 10s. please, if you can. we're running out of time. >> there was absolutely no need for the projection there. if you had looked at my career history, you'd know i was focusing on this. and note that rebecca completely dodged dodged my point on immigration because it's inconvenient for the narrative. >> okay, rebecca, read immigration. >> it's just that you called it the most diverse generation when it's a it's a worldwide generation from every different country where immigration is different. so it didn't make any sense. i actually politely left it alone because it wasn't. >> this report was we've got we've got to go because we're going to we're going to we're going to we're going to we're going to we're going to we're going to crash on air. otherwise. rebecca reid, connor tomlinson, thank you very much. fascinating debate. still to come. are we a nation of scroungers? scroungers. find out how many brits the government thinks are low integrity. back in a tick. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on .

solar sponsors of weather on. gb. news >> hello. very good morning to you. welcome to the latest forecast from the met office for gb news. still some showers around today but in between the showers there will be a bit more sunshine compared with yesterday and as a result it will feel a little warmer as well. certainly a sunny start for western scotland, northern ireland, nonh scotland, northern ireland, north west england, north wales, elsewhere some cloud, some showers already from the word go there'll be a few more developing through the morning and early afternoon. the odd sharp downpour. otherwise not everyone will see a shower away from them, with the sunshine feeling pleasant with highs of 23 to 25. in the south, 18 to 22 further north. then later in the day the showers will tend to fade away. we're going to see a ridge of higher pressure build from the southwest, and that will allow plenty of evening sunshine across southern and southwestern parts of the uk. temperatures during 5:06 pm. up into the high teens, low 20s, feeling very pleasant out there and most of the showers by this

stage easing away. so for the vast majority it is a fine end to the day. western scotland looking beautiful actually at this stage with highs of 15 to 18 celsius. and we'll see clearing skies develop more widely overnight, although there will still be some patchy cloud, particularly for northern ireland. western scotland, for example, the vast majority will stay dry overnight, however, and whether you've got the clear spells or the cloud, it's going to be a relatively mild night with temperatures in the mid—teens in the south, 11 to 13 further north, so we start wednesday with plenty of dry and bright weather, long spells of sunshine for many central, southern and eastern parts of the uk. i think there'll be some showers pushing into western scotland for a time, and there'll also be some showers developing across eastern parts of england, some heavy downpours by the afternoon. here but for many it will stay dry and where we get the sunshine warm once again, 25 or 26 celsius make the most of it because thursday sees more rain arrive. that warm

feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb. >> good morning. it's 10 am. on

tuesday, the 23rd of july. live across the united kingdom. this is britain's newsroom with ben leo and miriam cates standing in for andrew pierce and bev turner. >> very good morning to you. i hope you're doing well this morning. right, tory leadership race. it's been triggered. rishi sunaks successor will be announced on november the 2nd. and nominations open tomorrow for the first round of voting. who's your pick? and elsewhere, more turncoat tories in the pipeline, perhaps. reform uk media leader nigel farage says more tories will defect to his party this year as it becomes, in his words, an electoral powerhouse and violence against

women. >> emergency police say they are overwhelmed as 3000 crimes against women are reported every day. >> and are we a nation of scroungers? 1 in 5 brits are now classed by the government as having, quote, low integrity. and that's up from 1 in 14, just a decade ago . a decade ago. >> and breaking news this morning , andy murray has morning, andy murray has announced that he'll retire from tennis after competing at the 2024 paris olympics . 2024 paris olympics. >> so that last debate with rebecca reed and connor tomlinson got quite feisty. unfortunately, we did have to go to the weather and i take on board your comments on your stay out of our control, however. very interesting debate, connor mentioned migration, which rebecca didn't seem to want to there anything in that? >> yes, potentially. i mean, there could be a clash of culture. we've certainly seen more immigration from the rest of the world over the last few

years than we have previously. but i think the debate around pornography is really important as well. and connor mentioned that report that the children's commissioner did , which showed commissioner did, which showed that the average age of seeing violent porn was 13 years old. that's got to have an effect on young boys and girls and what they think of in terms of normal relationships. >> it just feels like young kids these days, especially boys, are getting old before they're years 11, 12, 13 year olds getting old before they're years 11, 12,13 year olds being 11, 12, 13 year olds being forced to grow up quickly and become men because they're being exposed to such, adult. and i'd argue , harmful content. and as argue, harmful content. and as a dad of two young kids, i'm sure you're bored of me telling you i'm very proud of them. i love them very much, but it is a big worry for parents like me. anyway, let us know what you think. gbnews.com/yoursay keep the comments coming in. but first, here's your new news headunes first, here's your new news headlines with sophia. >> ben. thank you. good morning from the gb newsroom . it's just from the gb newsroom. it's just gone 10:00. i'm sophia wenzler with your top story this hour. first to the us where kamala harris is making quick moves to assert herself as the presumed

nominee to face donald trump on her first full day in the race. many of those once tipped to challenge the vice president instead threw their support behind her. that paved the way for her campaign to raise around 81 million usd. just a day after president biden dropped out surveys suggest she's now secured more than enough delegates to clinch the democratic nomination, giving her what she's called broad support. but foreign correspondent sarah firth told gb news that vice president harris still has to convince the pubuc harris still has to convince the public that she deserves to be on the ticket. >> there's a lot of people out there who are questioning this decision so late in the day, already feeling let down by the democratic party, by the white house and the party around the president and remember, kamala harris was in that inner circle. she's the vice president. so all these questions about why didn't these questions about why didn't the american public know sooner, the american public know sooner, the state of biden's health and his ability to run for the next four years? why weren't people

informed of this? kamala harris has a lot of accountability there that she has to answer to as well. >> meanwhile, back in the uk, james cleverly has told gb news that would be illegal. migrants were praying for a labour government because it would mean the end of the rwanda plan. james cleverly said the government had behaved in an arrogant manner, accusing them of tearing up the conservatives migrant plan without informing rwanda. his comments come as the tories set out a timeline for confirming a replacement for rishi sunak as the party's leader. but mr cleverly says for now, his focus is elsewhere . now, his focus is elsewhere. >> well, i've always believed that you should do the jobs that you need to do in the order that you need to do in the order that you need to do in the order that you need to do them. so nominations open tomorrow . so nominations open tomorrow. so thoughts and activities about the leadership of the party, in my mind , start tomorrow. today's my mind, start tomorrow. today's work is about making sure that i discharge my duties as a shadow home secretary. i'll be at the despatch box later on today

cagey in cumbria, you say many, many men from other cultures have no respect for women whatsoever and have fetched their ways into britain. that's a sad fact. so you're basically blaming migration, mass migration on the rise of violence against women and girls. other people will blame people like andrew tate online influencers, will you said rebecca reid has just said men are walking away from their responsibilities. courts are more likely to grant women child custody. maybe this is true in her case, but not every man wants to leave their children, and richard said, i'm fed up with feminism myself. it's always the man's fault. and whatever women do, they have no responsibility. >> that does seem to be a big tendency to blame boys and men for an awful lot of problems in society . and of course, people society. and of course, people need to take responsibility. but as a mother of boys also, i do find this very hard. and what are boys supposed to be for what are boys supposed to be for what are supposed to be their good points? now? it's very difficult. really interesting email from pete. rather than blaming the kids for seeing the stuff. this is about pornography. it rather begs the question why are the adults producing it? in the first

place? well, good question, but pornography is a multi—billion dollar industry, and i think about a third of the internet is actually pornography. so it's a huge problem that we just don't talk about enough in my opinion. >> yeah. there's a market for it, and i was saying to you off air, you know, when i was a kid, 16, 17, the only porn i saw was maybe some magazines, you know, on the top shelf of a newsagent, which i guarantee, compared to today's content, that young kids are seeing online is just chalk and cheese, you know? yeah exactly. >> but the content now is overwhelmingly violent. and kids are seeing it younger and younger. and of course, it impacts children's perceptions of the world and what normal relationships are. >> one thing very frightening. one thing we do differ on is andrew tate. do you think he's he's getting more extreme? i think he's just a bit of a bit of a clown, a bit of an idiot. i find him quite funny sometimes, actually, but i haven't seen anything he said, which is particularly got me thinking, oh my god, that's awful. i think he says a lot of things tongue in cheek. >> well, i can't admit to being a regular watcher of andrew tate, so a lot of what i know about him, i have picked up from the media, who aren't

particularly well disposed to him, of course, but i think some of his links with potentially sexual violence are very worrying. but the point is, if boys had good role models, if they weren't watching a lot of pornography, if they were given, you know , respect and things you know, respect and things like that in the classroom in society, it probably wouldn't be needing to watch andrew tate. so i think the whole society has got some questions to answer. >> yeah, i guess he's the sticking plaster to a problem that's been brewing for a long time. yeah >> anyway, so moving back to politics, the new tory party leader will be announced on the 2nd of november with nominations for the first round of voting opening tomorrow. >> rishi sunak will remain leader until then, despite leading the conservatives through their worst defeat ever in the election earlier this month. >> so labour party activist susie stride joins us now. good morning susie. nice to see you. good morning. so nice to see you. are the labour party relishing this long leadership battle? will it be good news for the labour party, or will it just draw attention back to the conservatives >> i think to be honest, we getting on with governing. we've

got like a long list of things that we want to do to transform this nation. and i think we're just getting on with that. and i mean, i don't know how much we're you know, thinking about what's going on in the conservative party however, it is important for democracy that we have a strong opposition. and so, you know, obviously we do care that that is a good process. we care that it goes well and we care that, you know, someone, someone good is picked . someone, someone good is picked. when i was reading about the candidate, obviously for me, i would favour someone that's a bit more moderate. and, having met james cleverly, you know, i would favour james cleverly, but you know, i don't get a vote. >> it's been argued , i guess, >> it's been argued, i guess, susie, that the conservative party is full of moderates and even wets , and that's been their even wets, and that's been their problem is it is the truth, in actual fact, that labour have their eye. maybe more on reform over the next five years than the conservative party >> i mean, i think look , >> i mean, i think look, ultimately we have to listen always to the british people . always to the british people. and the british people voted in big numbers for both the conservatives and reform . and i

conservatives and reform. and i think part of being good leaders and being humble is that you don't just disregard those people when those votes, you listen to those people and say, actually, you know, lots of people voted for reform. lots of people. well, some people voted for conservative. and we need to understand why, and we need to not disregard that or dismiss those people. we need to listen to them. and also we need to make changes where we need to make changes where we need to make changes. >> so which of the potential leaders do you think keir starmer would least like to face across the despatch box at prime minister's question time? who would he fear the most ? would he fear the most? >> oh, i don't know. that's a tough one. i don't really do you know what i don't really know because i mean, i think let's have a look at them. yeah i mean i think, i think james cleverly doesn't even seem to be on there, but i think james cleverly for me, you know what you what you want, i would say now is someone who is going to unite the conservative party, but also and i was saying this on your programme the other day, someone that's going to cast a vision. you know, i think the conservative party needs to be fine, refine themselves. what

are they about? you know, and not these little issues like immigration. yeah these issues are important. i understand they're not little , but it's they're not little, but it's about the vision. what's the vision for britain? where do you guys where do you see britain in ten, 15, 20 years time? and i think you need a leader that is going to talk about vision, you know, and, and, and almost cast a new vision. and so, you know, again, if i had a vote, i would be going for that person. and personally, i don't know, as i say, like, you know, james cleverly is someone that, you know, i've met him a number of times and i personally, you know, think, you know, he's a good leader and he seems like a uniting force. but ultimately it's going to come down to your members, to the members of the conservative party. >> susie, just moving on slightly. what do you make of this, this debate raging at the moment about the rise in violence against women. who's to blame? is it andrew tate? is it porn? you know, why are young boys minds so corrupted? what do you make of it? and yvette cooperin you make of it? and yvette cooper in recent weeks has said that she's going to work hard to make sure that women and girls are protected like never before . are protected like never before. in your opinion, who's to blame?

>> yeah. i mean, it's interesting because i've actually worked first hand in hand with rape victims here in east london. and i'm going to tell you, the process is awful. it's like everything's against you. i, i am quite a fighter and i was fighting for this particular victim and literally, you know, everything is against you know, everything is against you on, on every level. and so i think there's lots of things i think there's lots of things i think you guys have put your finger on something very important. i think you have to regulate social media. that's going to have to be some sort of kind of global agreement, but we have to regulate it. like you said , when we were growing up, said, when we were growing up, you know, pornography, you know, you know, pornography, you know, you didn't really see it. and then now it's all over kids phones. i work in schools and i have girls come to me and say, we're so concerned for the boys in our year, year nine, year ten, and the amount of pornography that they can just get access to on their phones. so i think we've got to regulate social media. it's got to begin to be taught well in schools about respect for girls . looking about respect for girls. looking at girls as your sister, as your mum, you know, and treating them that way. i think role models that way. i think role models

that we've got famous people selling gambling. how about we have some famous footballers selling, you know, let's be respectful to women and to girls. >> but susie . >> but susie. >> but susie. >> yes. sorry. >> yes. sorry. >> go for it. no, no. fascinating. but susie, the labour party seems very reluctant to regulate things like social media and mobile phones. like social media and mobile phones . actually, the last phones. actually, the last conservative government was moving to a position where they were going to ban phones in school and potentially even social media for under 16 seconds. but labour seems now very allergic to that kind of regulation, even though it would protect children from these kind of harms. do you think they will move on this? >> i mean, i hope they will move on on this. i think you've got very, very good people there. you've got people like jess phillips, you know, and angela raynen phillips, you know, and angela rayner. you've got people in there that you know, are very passionate about these issues. and i would hope, you know, that we will be fighting on this. and if personally, if i don't see us fighting on this, i will be strongly pushing for it. you know myself, because this this is a crisis and i actually think this is a national emergency. and i think it's incumbent upon

us. we're the adults in the room. we're the adults, you know, and i'm i'm not going to have 20, 30 years time. people look back and say, what did you guys do when, you know, and i and i think you'll agree with me, these movies that come out on netflix and they've got lots of sexual stuffing them, you know, this is not healthy. and you know it's not healthy. yeah. all right. there's lots we can do. you know i think we can all agree it's rocket science. and, yeah, i hope the labour, this labour government will be working hard on it. and if they're not, i will definitely be lobbying for that. >> okay. labour party activist susie stride, thanks very much. thanks, i'm kind of torn on the whole censoring the internet kind of thing. on one hand, it's the problem. you know, kids accessing porn is , of course, accessing porn is, of course, terrible. on the other hand, i don't want to become a state like china or even russia now, where they're censoring youtube, certain websites, social media. i was born, i was the first generation of using the internet properly back in the 90s, and it was great. you know, it's the wild west side of it as far as i'm concerned. as a part libertarian is great. >> i think this is the thing you

don't have to censor the internet if children aren't allowed on it, and that's the problem. it is a wild west. there isn't a way of making the internet safe for children when there is all this dreadful content. and we're going to talk about al and how that's making things even worse later. but if you just say children aren't safe to go online, then you don't need to censor it for adults. and actually, that's a much cleaner way of then. >> but then they'll say, but kids need the internet for learning, and they'll get left behind. and having a laptop computer, being able to research and go on wikipedia is fine, but that's completely different to having porn in your pocket, which is essentially what mobile phones are for children. >> i think there is a big difference between phones and using computers for work. >> good point. >> good point. >> so coming up next, are we a nafion >> so coming up next, are we a nation of scoundrels and scroungers? find out why brits are being described by the government as having low integrity. you're with britain's newsroom on gb news

good morning. it's 10:20. good morning. it's10:20. this is britain's newsroom with ben elliott and miriam cates standing in for andrew pierce and bev turner. >> morning to you. i hope you're well. we're also joined by gb news senior political commentator nigel nelson and the businessman and brexiteer ben habib in the studio to go through all of the day's top stories. ben, let's start with you because you have written a is it in the daily telegraph? it was in the express, the express rather scathing attack on your old friends miriam. the end of the tories. >> yeah, not my first attack. >> yeah, not my first attack. >> you said when i joined reform uk, i declared my aim was to obliterate the conservative party. i was not being vindictive. i was being sensible. >> yeah . so the conservative >> yeah. so the conservative party, by its name and by its nature, portrays itself. and i hope miriam won't contradict me on this as a party that stands for conservative values, for the union of great britain and northern ireland, for the democratic unit that is the united kingdom, the promotion of national interests. and so on. and actually, that's not what it

is in practice. the conservative party has been hijacked by what i would call, for want of a better word , globalism, which is better word, globalism, which is the case with the labour party too. you know, we refer often to the labour party as left and the conservatives as centre right or right wing. but that's that is a misclassification actually what you've got in parliament at the moment are two bodies of people that largely believe in the globalist agenda. and what i mean by that is predominantly pro eu pro governance through supranational institutions such as the un, the eu, who are handing over pandemic management to the who and also, frankly, an outright attack on what i would regard as british democracy. so the creation of so—called independent bodies. blair kicked off this project, you know, giving, for example, the bank of england, its independence to start with, then then giving ofcom undue powers, in my view, to govern media. the electoral

commission was created the office of budget responsibility was created without which chancellors can't move forward . chancellors can't move forward. and so what you've got effectively is two parties that govern in a very similar way in a fundamentally anti—british way, if you don't mind me saying so . and the vote for brexit was so. and the vote for brexit was a to vote get rid of all of that. and, you know , sorry. that. and, you know, sorry. >> yeah. no, no, i think a lot of viewers would agree with that. and the fact that the conservative party didn't roll back any of blair's reforms, the fact that the labour party didn't oppose lockdowns or any of the covid policies kind of confirms what he's saying is true. but i suppose my question is to you is how can reform be different? and under a two party system, essentially with first past the post, can you actually break through and start to represent those voters in a meaningful way? yeah >> so on the second point, first, we have broken through, you know, for months when i was campaigning, when i joined reform uk, we were polling at 6. when the general election kicked off, we were polling at 16. and all the way until that point ,

all the way until that point, people kept telling me, you're not going to win seats, you're not going to win seats, you're not going, you're just a spoiler, you're just a spoiler party. and i kept saying we would and we did. we got five seats, which actually from a political perspective, under first past the post seismic. but we came second in 98 seats to laboun we came second in 98 seats to labour. and that's also quite interesting. you know, it's labour who's heels where we're looking at. and it's and it's because people in this country , because people in this country, labour voters in this country are small c conservatives , they are small c conservatives, they believe in the united kingdom. and so i think under first past the post reform uk will cut through. okay. >> nigel nelson uni party, same people, different colours, same agenda, behest to all the same globalist voices, >> i mean the whole thing is the whole point about britain. is it tends to be moderate. it's centrist. we haven't had revolutions in the past because of that . so when ben talks about of that. so when ben talks about centrist parties being anti—british, they're anti—british, they're anti—british at all. that is where the voters mostly lie. and that's the kind of government.

>> can i just pick you up on that? i mean, some would argue the current agenda, whether it's conservative or labour, is anti—british. we're giving billions and billions to ukraine not knowing when it's going to end. it's a bottomless pit of money. so keir starmer announced some tens of millions to some african project the other day. we, the foreign aid budget, is out of control. some would say it is anti—british. >> i mean, taking those two things, first of all, borders. >> how can you be pro—british with open borders? you have to have borders to define your territorial integrity. >> i knew you get onto immigration eventually. >> no, it's not just immigration, isn't it? isn't it the case, nigel, that actually, yes, britain is moderate and centrist, but the centre has moved so much. >> i mean, can you imagine saying 20 years ago that open borders was a good policy or huge amounts of debt? no. >> open borders isn't a good policy. >> who's advocating open borders? >> that's what we've got. >> that's what we've got. >> immoderate. if you believe in controlling immigration, or at least in certain certain quarters, it is so. isn't it the case that the centre has moved rather than the british people? >> i mean, first of all, that as far as the new government is concerned, they're still about controlling immigration. all they're saying is that the tory methods of doing it were

unworkable and ridiculously expensive. so they have a different way of doing that. no, we probably will never , never we probably will never, never will stop the small boats coming across entirely, but we should be able to reduce them . and as be able to reduce them. and as far as the we should stop them entirely. >> nigel, it is the definition of the united kingdom. the limit of the united kingdom. the limit of our territorial waters marks where our country ends and france starts. and that needs physical enforcement. it's basic, the notion. but you want to do is actually drown people. >> no, i don't want to drown anyone by trying. by trying to turn the boats back to france. >> i'll tell you what you're doing. your policy guarantees continued death in the channel because by encouraging the trade, by not stamping down on it, by not stopping the boats, more and more people are going to come and more and more people are going to die. and by the way, just let's be utterly clear on this. we are importing criminality into the uk by not enforcing our borders, and we are therefore allowing civil society in this country to be assaulted . and i call that

uncivilised. >> but the argument is not over whether or not we should enforce our borders. we both agree with that. the question is how we enforce the borders. and at the moment we've got a system where we've introduced the illegal migration act and all that's doneis migration act and all that's done is stored up 100,000 people who can't stay in this country but can't leave it either. so you need to break that kind of logjam so we can send send people back who need to go back. >> policy is simply to speed up the asylum application process for that 100,000 people. absolutely right. and then give them settled status. >> that's it. ben, can i can i ask you a question? nigel alluded to it there. and, you know, i'm going to i'm just going to hit you with it. hit me your your comments about drowning, quote unquote, migrants in the channel with juua migrants in the channel with julia hartley—brewer. do you think you are axed from reform because of that, do you think maybe not at all. >> no. >> no. >> not that that conversation was a hypothetical argument where i allowed julia hartley—brewer to paint an unrealistically stupid picture, and i did what no politician

should do , which is give her the should do, which is give her the gotcha moment. she was si king. >> so do you think that nigel thought because of that, you were maybe a little bit of a liability ? if you don't mind me liability? if you don't mind me saying no, not at all. do you not connect the two? the two instances? >> no, not at all. not not at all. no, i it's absolutely clear. if you watch the video, juua clear. if you watch the video, julia hartley—brewer was saying a bunch of people come over in a dinghy, you try and stop them, stop them, and they get out a knife, stab their dinghy, all end up in the drink. and i said, well, one of the things you could do is rescue them by giving them another boat. she said, well, what if they stab that boat and end up all in all in the drink again? and actually at that point i should have stopped her and said , stop stopped her and said, stop talking rubbish. these people are not suicidal. >> and i saw that interview. and what you did say was that it's their responsibility if they end up drowning in the channel, they're the ones who've taken they're the ones who've taken the responsibility to make the make the crossing the issue, isn't it? most people would agree with that. >> certainly risk your life crossing the busiest shipping lane in the world. >> right. they're taking their lives in their hands to cross

the channel. >> but the point she was trying to make , you were talking about to make, you were talking about sending them back to france, the point she was trying to make was that there's no mechanism by which you can physically stop them in the channel. and the and that point is fundamentally flawed. the belgians do it, they turn, they have reduced illegal launches of dinghies from their shores by 92, by having a force dedicated to physically intercepting dinghies and requiring people to go back to belgium. >> i think we should probably move on to a new news story. this is supposed to be the news review. andy murray is going to retire after the olympics. what do you think to that, ben? >> well, i mean, everyone everyone's had their day haven't they. and he's been he's had a fantastic career. he's played some superb tennis. he's done what lots of british sportsmen do, which is take us to the point of unbridled optimism, only to dash our hopes and then only to dash our hopes and then on occasion, also delivered . and on occasion, also delivered. and i think he's been a fantastic sportsman. he hasn't been perhaps the best unionist, you know, in terms of his belief in, in the united kingdom. >> but he was only joking about

that. was he only joking? i'm a massive andy fan. he was doing a football tournament and some journo said, you know, are you going to support england if scotland get knocked out? he said, no, of course not. he was only joking. but but people i forgive him. people really attacked him for it. >> yeah. i mean look the guy is 37. it's a round about the time that you should retire from a sport like tennis. i can understand him doing so. it's a great pity he didn't get the chance to play that last doubles tournament at at wimbledon, but at least he's going on to the olympics after that, i think is absolutely right. he should put his feet up. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i love andy murray. when he lost the wimbledon final against federer i think it was 2012. he came back two weeks later to beat, or was it djokovic or federer? sorry. federer again at the olympic games final won gold , the olympic games final won gold, came back the year later, won wimbledon. i just think, you know he's a great british. >> yeah he is he is. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> yeah we all agree on that one. nice >> it's a good place to end the discussion. yeah >> thank you. you'll be back shortly. maybe we'll reignite this small boats argument because it's. it's feisty indeed.thank because it's. it's feisty indeed. thank you ben. thank you. nigel sophia wenzler is on

standby with your news headlines. >> ben. thank you. good morning. it's 1030. i'm sophia >> ben. thank you. good morning. it's1030. i'm sophia wenzler in the gb newsroom first to the us, where kamala harris is making quick moves to assert herself as the presumed nominee to face donald trump on her first full day in the race. many of those once tipped to challenge the vice president instead threw their support behind her. that paved the way for to her campaign to raise around 81 million usd. just a day after president biden dropped out. surveys suggest she's now secured more than enough delegates to clinch the democratic nomination, giving her what she's called broad support. james cleverly has told gb news that would be illegal migrants were praying for a labour government because it would mean the end of the rwanda plan. the shadow home secretary said the government had behaved in an arrogant manner, accusing them of tearing up the

conservatives. migrant plan without informing rwanda. his comments come as the tories set out a timeline for confirming a replacement for rishi sunak as the party's leader. the government is to set out plans to change the name of the for department welfare to the department for work, work and pensions secretary liz kendall will lay out plans to tackle economic inactivity and help labour meet its long term ambition of reaching 80% employment. it comes after the prime minister announced the creation of a new body called skills england, which she says will fire up home grown labour and reduce reliance on overseas workers . and one of the world's workers. and one of the world's greatest tennis champions will say au revoir after the paris olympics. andy murray has announced that this year's games will be his last ever tennis tournament. murray was recently denied a wimbledon farewell in the singles after he had surgery on a spinal cyst just a week before the tournament began. in a post on social media, he said

financial report . financial report. >> up next we'll be talking about how you can keep you and your children safe online. from deepfakes and ai your children safe online. from deepfakes and al on social media, this is britain's newsroom on gb news

>> hello. welcome back. it's 1037. ben and miriam with you on britain's newsroom. only on gb news. >> and now something that i'm very passionate about, which is keeping children safe online. and it's been reported today that 75% of parents are worried about the dangers of ai generated deepfake audio and video, and a really horrible example of this was a 14 year old girl, mia janin, from london, who took her own life in 2021 after being bullied online

and reportedly had her face photoshopped onto pornography videos. >> so as parents or grandparents, what steps can we take to make the web a safer place for young family members? well, rachel huggins is the ceo of internet matters and hopefully to here enlighten us. rachel, such a complex. situation, isn't it? i mean, people blaming pornography , people blaming pornography, people blaming pornography, people blaming pornography, people blaming people like andrew tate and so on. and so on, but i. particularly these deepfake videos, how do we sort it out? how do we tackle this and approach it? because ai it out? how do we tackle this and approach it? because a! has got so many benefits, hasn't it? but there's also a very dark underbelly . underbelly. >> absolutely. it's the same for most of the internet as you as you've been talking about earlier, there are lots of benefits for children being online, but there are so many different harms they can come across. and parents are understandably hearing lots in the media about al, and they're rightly concerned about this new and emerging technology. so yes, you said in our research, 75% of them saying they're worried about the dangers of ai generated deepfakes, for example, and that's just one of

the different, online harms that children can face. you know, they might be more likely to experience cyber bullying online, hate seeing inappropriate content, and strangers contacting them. and whilst they're concerned about these issues, our survey says that only about half of them know about them. updating privacy settings on social media and only 4 in 10 are having regular conversations with their children about online safety. so. so this is why we're working with virgin media 02 to help empower parents to have more confident and positive conversations with their children about online safety, and to help them understand the tools and safety controls they can use to help keep their children safe. so this campaign, called find the right words , called find the right words, coincides with the summer holidays, when children are more likely to be online and could be more exposed to those online harms . so with more exposed to those online harms. so with virgin media, 02 and other charities like action for children and the good things foundation, we've created some new free guides that parents and carers and guardians can access to help them talk about online safety with their children, because that's a big step that a lot of parents aren't actually taking. and to help them learn

about the tools and controls available to navigate the online world safely . world safely. >> so sorry to interject for people who don't know what we're talking about back home, i'm sure there's a handful. what are deepfake videos? what are we talking about? >> so deepfake videos are essentially videos where a person's face has been sort of superimposed onto a pre—existing piece of content. so it could be the big thing that parents are worried about is kind of notification. so actually creating sexual images of children that aren't actually of those children, they just had their faces superimposed on them. and then those images being shared and being used to bully children. and that example that you, you gave there with that you, you gave there with that kind of terrible example of a girl who took her own life as a girl who took her own life as a result of the bullying that happened and the impact that had on her and her family, so, so it's that sense of not being in control. so, you know, we talk to children about not creating images of themselves, but this is a point where they're not in control of that. images are being created without their knowledge and with their faces on bodies that aren't their own . on bodies that aren't their own. >> but isn't this the difficulty

that we can talk to children about online safety, and parents can use controls on the phones and the internet, but actually, this stuff is way beyond our control. and we were just looking at some funny videos this morning of gareth southgate and things like that. it's so easy to use a! and make it look real, and in some senses that's that could be funny or harmless. but when it comes to children and not being able to distinguish what's real or not, is there any safe way of children using the internet like this ? this? >> well, that obviously we have to have those conversations. you say there are things that parents can do, but our research shows that a lot of parents aren't actually doing them. so kind of making sure those conversations are being had using the guides that we've created at find the right words, .uk can really help. and but, you know, parents and carers shouldn't bear the burden of children saying safe online or by themselves. you know, we're absolutely passionate about the fact that tech companies need to do more to make their platforms safer by design and enforce minimum age limits. that needs to be supported by effective and robust regulation. so we've just had the online safety act and we can, you know, see how that that

progresses with the new government. and ofcom creating those codes of practice for those codes of practice for those tech companies. and, you know, better support for schools and parents to educate children about these issues. so i think there's lots of conversations that aren't yet happening and that aren't yet happening and that needs to go hand in hand with, you know, tech companies doing more and effective regulation. >> yeah. rachel, i've got a bit of a problem with exporting the responsibility to tech companies and so on. and the government, you know, please hold our hand and help us look after our kids. i think parents primarily and our speakers, one just need to make sure they're doing a proper job and parenting properly. and bringing their kids up. right? >> i mean, absolutely, we are the first port of call. and, you know, we want our children to know, we want our children to know that they can come to us if they do see something that is, uncomfortable or kind of make them feel kind of bad or, you know, really, really worrying and is causing them distress and so, so absolutely. and this is what this campaign is all about, is giving parents those tools to know what they can do to support their children online and have those right conversations, you know, and continue to have them. so it shouldn't be just one and

done. you know, we need to keep it going and checking in with with children to make sure they know, they know kind of how to look after themselves online and to think critically . to think critically. >> okay. rachel hawkins, thank you very much. you're the ceo , you very much. you're the ceo, co—ceo rather of internet matters. thank you. am i being too simplistic there? just saying. you know, just make sure your kids aren't sitting on the sofa scrolling with you, not knowing what they're looking at. >> surely i think you are being too simplistic, sadly, ben, because i think the analogy is imagine if there was no regulation of drugs or alcohol and children could go out there and children could go out there and buy drugs and alcohol. they could be given drugs or alcohol and it be completely legal, and parents would have no help. would you send your child out knowing that they were going to resist the temptation? of course not. the stuff on the internet is as addictive as drugs and alcohol and as harmful. and i think, yes, of course, parents have a role in educating, but actually we wouldn't allow this kind of material if it was drugs or alcohol. why are we allowing children to view it even in a supposed safe way? and i think that's the problem we've got here. and as we were saying earlier, it's actually a lot easier to just say the internet

isn't safe for children to look at unobserved. that's much easier than trying to crack down on this. and then crack down on this. then a! takes over and you've got another problem on your hands. >> do you not agree, though? there is maybe a cohort of parents who just, you know, maybe because they're busy or maybe because they're busy or maybe because they're just not good parents, you know, they dump their kids in front of tech and let them get on with it. i mean, i, i know a few who do that. >> yes, of course. and, you know, there's no excuse for that. but i think most people think that the government has a role at least in standing up to these enormous vested interests like big tobacco, for example, and big tech and big porn. and actually, parents can't stand up to those vested interests on their own. we need legislation and regulation to help. >> okay. i just i just get concerned as a, you know, part libertarian, that i don't want to infringe on civil civil liberties and become like china. we're blocking websites and social media anyway. fascinating debate. up next, inflation busting pay rises for teachers and nhs workers. where on earth, miriam? is labour going to get all the money from? is britain's newsroom live across the united

tick. welcome back. it's 1047. ben tick. welcome back. it's1047. ben and miriam with you on britain's newsroom. only on gb news. >> and the prime minister looks set to give above inflation pay rises to teachers and nurses. >> and this is despite warnings that the move may need to be funded by surprise. surprise. extra taxes or borrowing. >> the independent pay review bodies that represent teachers and nhs workers recommend pay rises of around 5.5, which is in line with pay rises in the private sector. but is it affordable ? so the journalist affordable? so the journalist and author ros clarke joins us now. he's written a fascinating piece in the spectator about the opfions piece in the spectator about the options available to rachel reid. so welcome, ros. great to see you. what do you think rachel reeves will do , rachel reeves will do, >> well, she has hinted that she will accept some these recommendations from pay review bodies, which would give pay

rises of 5.5, to nurses, teachers, other public sector workers . now that's three, 3.5% workers. now that's three, 3.5% above the current inflation rate. now the trouble is labour has not budgeted for this in, in the, you know, fully costed manifesto . it hit us with in the manifesto. it hit us with in the general election campaign. it made no mention of above inflation pay rises for public sector workers. it has not been costed. so, you know , if labour costed. so, you know, if labour does go on to grant these pay rises, well, it's going to be in need of more revenue either from tax rises, which it promised it wouldn't. land on us or, extra borrowing . and, you know, it borrowing. and, you know, it seems that rachel reeves is a promise of fiscal responsibility has already gone out the window less than a month into the new government. >> and what would be the long term impact to the economy and to individual households of more borrowing, especially this early in the parliament?

>> well, more borrowing means higher inflation, higher interest rates and, you know, which in turn suppresses economic growth. and, you know, i think there's a fundamental question to be asked about these pay question to be asked about these pay review bodies, because, i mean, these were set up with the intention that it would sort of be, you know, they'd be sort of independent bodies and therefore, you know, they'd sort of act as intermediaries between the government and the public sector unions. but they've evolved into real, really. what are advocates of, those public sector unions. are advocates of, those public sector unions . and you read the sector unions. and you read the report that on the teachers pay for example, which recommended 5.5% increase, it's really just making the case that the unions are trying to make it sort of mentions, you know, the teacher's fallen behind, private sector workers. but then it mentions nothing about the more favourable pension arrangements, which, teachers and other public sector workers enjoy. it makes

no mention of the fact that private sector workers were, received a had to make up with put up with pay reductions dunng put up with pay reductions during the pandemic, for example, and it makes no mention of the sort of wider economic fiscal, background , which means, fiscal, background, which means, you know, the government's already piled high with debt and the capacity for further borrowing is extremely limited. >> ross ross rachel reeves has said on this, she says there's a cost to not settling a cost of further industrial action. the cost in terms of the challenge that we face in recruiting, retaining doctors and nurses and teachers will do it in a proper way. we'll make sure the sums add up. do you not trust her, >> well, let's take this point of the recruitment problems. you know, obviously, you know, pubuc know, obviously, you know, public sector needs to recruit workers. it needs to recruit or pay workers. it needs to recruit or pay certain wages to recruit them. but you look at the pay review body report for teachers, for example. it just accepts

the, teaching unions demand that there is one, overarching pay agreement for all every teacher in the country, whereas the shortages of teachers are in particular areas and in particular areas and in particular subjects. now logically, if you want to, you know, the, the labour market to work properly, you say, well , we work properly, you say, well, we will increase offer higher wages in those parts of the country and those subjects where we have and those subjects where we have a shortage, we won't just increase every teacher's pay because , you know, that's just because, you know, that's just an unnecessary cost, but, you know, the pay review body has just refused essentially, to consider the case for variated pay consider the case for variated pay rises according to subjects and location . and location. >> so what you're saying is that the pay review bodies, there's no cost to them in recommending higher wages because they don't have to pay the cost, whereas the government who is paying the cost, or rather the taxpayer, should be making those decisions .

should be making those decisions. so who set up these pay review bodies and what was the purpose to take the decisions away from politicians ? politicians? >> well, they obviously set up by government, but you know, like so much of government these days, one of the purposes of setting them up was to sort of try to protect ministers from having to make unpopular decisions and so, you know, if ministers or ministers could shelter behind pay, review bodies and they felt there'd be less exposed to the sort of unions , but, you know, in that, unions, but, you know, in that, that that depends on pay review bodies taking into account both sides of the argument. and if the pay review bodies are taking more notice of the unions than they're taking of the government, the treasury and the needs of the balance of public finances, well, then you've got a big problem. and, you know, this should be a political decision, pay rises in the pubuc decision, pay rises in the public sector. it needs to be made by ministers who make the decision across the board, not

just, recommendations of these of advocates of the unions. >> okay. ross clark, thank you very much . appreciate your time. very much. appreciate your time. interesting debate, isn't it? >> it is. i do think it's a problem having so many decisions made not by ministers who are accountable because then when things go wrong, the public want to blame politicians . things go wrong, the public want to blame politicians. but actually the decision hasn't been made by politicians. so yeah. let's see. >> okay, lots more still to come on the show , including if you on the show, including if you haven't seen it, this extraordinary clip from elon musk, spacex, tesla. talking about how his son turned trans. he's got a trans son. and he was, quote, tricked into taking puberty blockers. and he says that this war on woke and the woke mind virus he calls it was triggered because of that. we've got a really fascinating clip to show you . also, long distance show you. also, long distance runner paula radcliffe is here to talk about the olympics, which kicks off this week. back in a. tick. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on gb

news >> hello, a very good morning to you. welcome to the latest forecast from the met office for gb news. still some showers around today, but in between the showers there will be a bit more sunshine compared with yesterday and as a result it will feel a little warmer as well. certainly a sunny start for western scotland, northern ireland, nonh scotland, northern ireland, north west england, north wales, elsewhere some cloud, some showers already from the word go there'll be a few more developing through the morning and early afternoon. the odd sharp downpour. otherwise not everyone will see a shower away from them, with the sunshine feeling pleasant with highs of 23 to 25. in the south, 18 to 22 further north. then later in the day the showers will tend to fade away. we're going to see a ridge of higher pressure build from the southwest, and that will allow plenty of evening sunshine across southern and southwestern parts of the uk. temperatures during 5:06 pm. up

into the high teens, low 20s, feeling very pleasant out there and most of the showers by this stage easing away. so for the vast majority, it is a fine end to the day. western scotland looking beautiful actually, at this stage with highs of 15 to 18 celsius. and we'll see clearing skies develop more widely overnight, although there will still be some patchy cloud, particularly for northern ireland. western scotland for example, the vast majority will stay dry overnight, example, the vast majority will stay dry overnight , however, and stay dry overnight, however, and whether you've got the clear spells or the cloud, it's going to be a relatively mild night with temperatures in the mid—teens in the south, 11 to 13 further north, so we start wednesday with plenty of dry and bright weather, long spells of sunshine for many central, southern and eastern parts of the uk. i think there'll be some showers pushing into western scotland for a time, and there'll also be some showers developing across eastern parts of england, some heavy downpours by the afternoon. here but for many it will stay dry and where we get the sunshine warm once

again, 25 or 26 celsius make the most of it because thursday sees more rain arrive. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on

gb. news well. >> good morning. it's 11 am. on tuesday. the 23rd of july. live across the united kingdom . this across the united kingdom. this is britain's newsroom with ben leo and miriam cates standing in for andrew pierce and bev turner. good morning. >> how do you do now? tory leadership race has been triggered. rishi sunaks successor will be announced on november the 2nd. katherine forster has more . forster has more. >> yes, it's going to be a long three and a half months for the conservative party to decide what it wants to be and how it gets itself back in a position to appeal to voters. >> the nominations open

tomorrow. i'll bring you the details shortly and radicalising young men online. >> a senior police officer warns that online influencers like andrew tate can radicalise young men into extreme misogyny . but men into extreme misogyny. but could there be other causes? >> and are we a nation of scroungers? well, 1 in 5 brits are now classed by the government as having, quote , low government as having, quote, low integrity. and that's up from 1 integrity. and that's up from 1 in 14, just ten years ago. >> and prince harry congratulates birmingham as the city is confirmed to host the invictus games in three years time, would you welcome harry and meghan here in 2027? >> and here he is , my hero andy >> and here he is, my hero andy murray. he's announced he'll retire from tennis after competing at the 2024 paris olympics, starting this week. very sad news indeed . very sad news indeed. yeah, it is sad news and some of you on my say saying ben. shut

up. what are you talking about? well, he hates england. i mean, different conversation. one thing i want to get stuck into is where the hell is joe biden? lots of. well, i guess at this point, conspiracy theories floating around online saying that he's got a medical situation, he's gravely ill. he's not been seen in public for a number of days. and of course, the situation with the democratic nominee for the presidential race is being described as a coup. some would have thought he would have done a video message announcing he was stepping out of the race. he wrote a letter on a computer which didn't have his official letterhead on. so, look, we're swirling down all these, these very strange roads. but the question begs, where is joe biden? >> and it's very odd that the resignation was done completely onune resignation was done completely online without any video or picture at all. so we shall see. >> right. let us know what you think gbnews.com/yoursay is. joe biden okay? is he all right? all that and more. but first, your news headlines with sofia. >> ben. thank you. good morning

from the gb newsroom at 11:02, your headlines first to the us, where kamala harris is making quick moves to assert herself as the presumed nominee to face donald trump on her first full day in the race. many of those once tipped to challenge the vice president instead threw their support behind her. that paved the way for her campaign to raise around 81 million usd. just a day after president biden dropped out. surveys suggest she's now secured more than enough delegates to clinch the democratic nomination, giving her what she's called broad support back here in the uk. james cleverly has told gb news that would be illegal. migrants were praying for a labour government because it would mean the end of the rwanda plan. james cleverly said the government had behaved in an arrogant manner , accusing them arrogant manner, accusing them of tearing up the conservatives migrant plan without informing rwanda. his comments come as the tories set out a timeline for confirming a replacement for

rishi sunak as the party's leader. but mr cleverly says for now, his focus is elsewhere. >> well, i've always believed that you should do the jobs that you need to do in the order that you need to do in the order that you need to do in the order that you need to do them. so nominations open tomorrow, so thoughts and activities about the leadership of the party in my mind, start tomorrow . today's my mind, start tomorrow. today's work is about making sure that i discharge my duty as a shadow home secretary. i'll be at the despatch box later on today holding the new home secretary to account for violence against women and girls is a national emergency with nearly 3000 crimes recorded every day. >> that's according to a new report. the report, commissioned by the national police chiefs council and the college of policing, estimates that at least one in every 12 women will be a victim each year, though the actual number is believed to be higher due to unreported crimes. it comes amid growing concerns that online influencers such as andrew tate are fuelling

sex offences committed by teenage boys. he's currently facing criminal charges in romania for rape, human trafficking and sexual exploitation, all which he denies . in exploitation, all which he denies. in other exploitation, all which he denies . in other news, the denies. in other news, the health secretary will hold talks with junior doctors in the hope of ending a long running dispute over pay. wes streeting has been meeting with the british medical association's junior doctors committee. he previously described the move as a crucial step forward. junior doctor members of the bma have walked off the job 11 times in the past 20 months. it's led to the delay of 1.5 million appointments, procedures and operations at an estimated cost to the nhs of more than £3 billion. the first blind barbie has been released by the toymaker mattel, as part of a push to make the brand more inclusive. the blind doll has features that allow accessible play features that allow accessible play for children with sight loss , as well as representing a loss, as well as representing a visually impaired woman. it

everybody is happy. not everybody is happy. not everybody is happy that this process is now going to take three and a half months. but some people think that you've got to do this carefully and slowly because of course, the defeat was so enormous that the conservative party really need to sort of work out who they are, what they want to be going forward. and that may take some time. so as of tomorrow, people will be able to put themselves forward. they'll need ten mps each to get on the ballot, 121 in total. of course, i expect there'll be half a dozen or so that will close for nominations next monday . then whoever is next monday. then whoever is there will have the summer holidays to go on hustings. try to drum up support and then the beginning of september the numbers will be whittled down by mps to four. those four will trot to off conference and we'll have a bit of a beauty parade .

have a bit of a beauty parade. that number will then go down again to two. are you still with me? and then at that point the conservative party members finally get to pick the next leader of the conservative party on november the 2nd. so it's going to be a long, drawn out process. now we expect a whole host of household names to stand. of course, there's a whole host of household names that lost their jobs. penny mordaunt, grant shapps, etc. not here to be able to be a part of this, but probably a couple of former home secretary suella braverman, priti patel , probably braverman, priti patel, probably robert jenrick, the former immigration minister, probably former home secretary james cleverly, kemi badenoch, the list goes on. i expect we'll have half a dozen, possibly a few more. we won't have to long find out who's in the field, but goodness, we've got weeks and weeks of months till we find out who is actually going to lead the conservative party, going .

okay. >> thanks, catherine. appreciate it . it. >> and now the former former deputy chairman of the conservative party and former member of parliament for stoke on trent north, kidsgrove and talke, jonathan gullis joins us. hello jonathan. it's great to see you. how are you doing? >> i'm good. very good. thank you. it's good to see you as well. thank you for the full name. it should have been rebranded that when the bloody boundary review. but we didn't get lucky on that occasion. >> well i remember you reading out the full name many, many times in parliament, so i couldn't help but but say it live on air. so we've got this leadership election. obviously, neither you nor i are part of this now, but who do you see as the frontrunners in this race? >> well, look, miriam, i'll be backing priti patel to become the leader of the conservative party because for me, what we needis party because for me, what we need is someone who has experience pretty served in william hague's private office after that crushing defeat in 1997. she's held great offices of state under cameron may and johnson. she was not part of the liz truss, nor the rishi sunak governments. she's been principled. she was one of the

stalwarts of brexit, one of the those who stuck their neck on the line. she obviously rebelled against things like the windsor framework as well. so stay true to her principles and the values. but whilst doing that also remain loyal to the conservative party and wasn't trawling the airwaves, wasn't writing articles that would have been unhelpful to the party brand. and for those reasons, i think she's got the experience and the ability to bring the broad church of the conservative party together. whilst having a very clear offer to the electorate, something that you've been advocating on social media. miriam, the conservatives need to return to the party of family, party of low tax, the party of tough borders and strong . strong. >> and certainly she's very popular with the membership . and popular with the membership. and you and i know her well. she's a lovely person and but surely one of the problems is that we know we lost the election because of immigration, because of uncontrolled immigration over the last few years. and sadly, a priti patel was the home secretary when the numbers increased so substantially in the last 2 or 3 years. so do you think this is going to be a problem for her, not only with

the parliamentary party, but also amongst the membership ? also amongst the membership? >> well, look, it's certainly a question that priti is going to have to answer. and of course, there are caveats. we obviously had the refugee schemes, for example, for ukrainians as well as hong kongers, which would have obviously impacted the numbers, as you and i both know. but i think actually what priti has always been very fair in saying is that no longer can any politician blame anyone else. ultimately taking back control, as we did when we delivered brexit in 2020, means that is up to politicians to make the decisions about what they want to see, and therefore she would not dodge and but was not able to having not continued in her role to implement further changes in order to bring down legal migration numbers where it was clear and obvious that there were either abuses of the system orindeed were either abuses of the system or indeed that the system just simply wasn't working in the interests of the british public. and i think the problem we've got now is, as you've said, miriam, time and again, is we've got far too many unelected bureaucratic, quangos and other types who are essentially making decisions and imposing them upon ministers, whereas and i know

she wants to certainly rip that up and go back to a day where ministers are held accountable for the decisions that are made or make them as well. >> easier said than done, though, jonathan, what do you make of nigel farage saying that more tories will defect to reform uk in the coming weeks and months and years ? and months and years? >> well, look, nigel's going to try and grab a headline however he can do. obviously reform have had their electoral success with their five members of parliament. i look at the current crop of conservative parliamentarians and i don't think there's many obvious contenders who would wish to join reform. i think there's still a lot of anger amongst, former colleagues like miriam, myself, who know from conversations we've had with them that people are very angry with reform. in some places, like in stoke on trent south, where my great friend jack brereton lost by 625 votes, reform took 8800 votes. he was a fine local community champion and represented his area. >> and so jonathan, sorry, sorry to interject. you've got you've got yourself to blame for that. the conservative party, it's not it's not reform's fault. >> so i'm certainly not solely blaming reform ben. but what i am saying is that it's quite

obvious that where there are mps who are minded when there's a cigarette paper between people like reform voters and people like reform voters and people like myself, for example, who did, let's not forget, ben put a bill on the floor of the house to say that we should ignore the echr. i actually did that. i didn't just talk the talk like some people did. i actually put a bill on the floor of the house that got sir keir starmer out of his office to vote against, and therefore prevented me. i signed legislation and amendments, just like miriam did, in order to actually hold the government to account for the day. didn't you find jonathan? >> didn't you find jonathan on the doorstep like me and like a number of our colleagues, that although individual constituents recognise that and were grateful for that, the anti—conservative feeling was so strong that people voted reform anyway. so my question would be, which leader can actually stand up against that threat from reform at the next election? why would anyone believe us next time when they didn't this time? >> and absolutely, miriam and ben to answer you what? you made a point earlier again, just to quickly say the conservative party failed to deliver and that's why the anger was there. and rightly, therefore, we had to take the brunt of the

punishment. but there were mps like miriam, like myself, who i felt you know, sensible, pragmatic approach could have meant that we could have been strong voices still within parliament had reform not stood candidates against us. but look why i think pretty can take the charge to reform without having to pander to reform , without to pander to reform, without having to become reform lite is because she has stood up for her values and her principles. when it's come to brexit, when it's come to immigration, when it's come to immigration, when it's come to immigration, when it's come to things like the windsor framework and the sovereignty of our united kingdom, she's demonstrated that through her voting record in parliament, she's demonstrated that through the things that she said from the things that she said from the despatch box, the fact that she introduced and tried to get the rwanda flights off the ground, obviously, before being removed as home secretary. so i think therefore she is the one that nigel fears most. and they know each other well and they do get on. but ultimately he knows that he will appeal to a lot of those people who voted for reform in large parts out of protest. and i think therefore he would win those people back . he would win those people back. >> okay. yeah, they do indeed know each other. well. i think they like a day out at the races together and like a little tipple together as well.

jonathan gallus, thank you very much for your time. my problem is, miriam, when people like jonathan say, oh, you know, reform allowed, labour into government. and of course, reform split your seat as well, yeah, they did, but you don't have a divine right, conservative party, conservative politicians to rule. you blew up the trust of your voters and your members. yeah, i think that's fair. >> and on a technical level of course, reform did split the vote, and that was the technical reason why the conservatives didn't get more seats. but of course , people have absolute course, people have absolute right to vote for who they want to vote for. and as jonathan said, the conservatives just didn't deliver. and i think a lot of people who said they voted for boris in 2019 were really upset with the way he left office and wanted to punish the party for everything that had happened since. and that's democracy, as you say, and i find it funny as well that, you know, every man and his dog. >> at the time when boris was ousted in that coup, would could predict what was going to happen. you were going to get wiped out. but the people that mattered, the mps who some would say knifed him in the back, it couldn't. it didn't have the foresight or the insight to, you know, to see what was coming

anyway up next, this is really interesting. we're going to hear from the ceo of x, formerly twitter, elon musk, who's spoken openly about the battles he's faced with his transgender child. one down your street. i think it's a fascinating clip. this is britain's newsroom on gb news back in

tick. >> welcome back. it's 11:20, tick. >> welcome back. it's11:20, and you're watching britain's newsroom live across the united kingdom with ben, leo and me . kingdom with ben, leo and me. miriam cates standing in for andrew and bev. >> we're also joined by gb news senior political commentator nigel nelson and businessman and brexiteer ben habib in the studio. firstly, i want to show you this. i'm going to call it a stunning clip. it's a stunning revelation from the ceo of x, formerly twitter. elon musk, the richest man in the world who spoke to the canadian psychologist doctor jordan peterson about his son. my son

going on puberty blockers. take a look at this. >> i was essentially tricked into signing documents for one of my older boys, xavier. you know, i was told, oh, you know, xavier might commit suicide if he that was a that was a lie right from the outset. incredibly evil. and i agree with you that people that have been promoting this should go to prison. you know, it wasn't explained to me that puberty blockers are actually just sterilisation drugs, so , anyway, sterilisation drugs, so, anyway, and so i lost my son essentially. so, you know, they , essentially. so, you know, they, they call it deadnaming for a reason. yeah. i all right. so the reason it's called deadnaming is because, your son is dead. so my son xavier is dead. killed by the woke mind virus. >> i'm sorry to hear that . yeah. >> i'm sorry to hear that. yeah. i can't imagine what that would be like . yeah. be like. yeah. >> so i vowed to destroy the

woke mind virus. after that . woke mind virus. after that. >> wow. so we knew previously that elon musk's son was trans, but he's never spoken about it before. certainly not as emotionally or openly like that. ben habib, your thoughts on that? >> well, it's a tragic story and it's evidence of how woke is a very real and damaging thing and what i would like people to do is go from recognising what elon musk has obviously recognised to make the connection with government regulations and legislation, which has created the ability for woke to give effect to its agenda. under the cover and protection of these regulations and legislation and the offender in the room. and i'm acutely aware of this running a public company which which is required to report on this sort of thing. the offender in the room is diversity, equity and, inclusion, i call it

equality. people correct me to say it's equity, but dei is the regulatory , manifestation of regulatory, manifestation of woke. in fact, it's the other way around. woke is the manifestation of dei. and what deidoesis manifestation of dei. and what dei does is give protected characteristics to ethnic minorities , believers in minorities, believers in minorities, believers in minorities, minority religions, people with minority sexual preferences, and the transgender community. and in giving them that protected status, they are allowed to go about promoting their agenda over and above and to the detriment of people like and certainly the equality act and certainly the equality act and the public sector equality duty has embedded some of those ideasin duty has embedded some of those ideas in our law. >> but we can't ignore social media, can we? and i think one of the things that that musk spoke about, about being infected with this virus, this mind virus, and i've spoken to a number of parents who, tragically, are in the same position with their children. it's actually often social media that plants the idea in a child's head that maybe they're the wrong sex. it is so surely

we have. we can't ignore the role of no, but social social media is beyond reproach because actually it's part of the regulatory and legislative framework. >> they're allowed to say it and it i mean, i think he was referring to his son's school or college or whatever it was that got him to sign these papers and, and put his son on this horrible journey. and we see that across our educational establishments at the moment, not just manifested in trans gender ideology, but also in critical race theory , where critical race theory, where basically white children are told that if you're white, you're privileged, you don't recognise it. you're racist. nonsense. >> elon musk is the richest man in the world. surely he's got the resources or the ability to read up on what he's giving his son. i like elon musk. i think he's, you know, pretty cool guy. but, you know, you've you've signed off on giving your kid puberty blockers without reading up on it. he said, i didn't realise it sterilises kids. >> no, i mean, in that sense, elon musk is like any parent. and you're absolutely right. it's a really sad. this is a sad story. and this is an example of

where things go wrong in the sense you have a family breakdown. i take issue with ben about attaching it to woke. i think woke has now lost any real meaning anyway. >> oh, i think it's a very defined term , nigel. well, defined term, nigel. well, defined term, nigel. well, define it. well, woke is the promotion of minority interests over and above and to the detriment, if necessary, of the majority. that's what woke is. that's why you can give protected characteristics to a minority ethnic origins, minority ethnic origins, minority religious beliefs . minority religious beliefs. >> so nothing to do with social justice. >> it's born out of so—called social. it's born out of social justice, but it is out of control . control. >> well, i mean, if you start getting into the trans debate, i wouldn't say that that is out of control, that at the moment, clearly it's out of control. what you do need . well, no, i what you do need. well, no, i mean, not clearly. it's out of control that there are there are individuals who fall foul of it, and we end up with a really sad story. but what we do need to

have a look at is the gender recognition act in this country and see whether or not it needs updating. it's 20 years old, but that but that allows people to change their gender from their biological sex, and for all official purposes, they a man can now be a woman, or a woman can now be a woman, or a woman can be a man. >> yeah, well, it's garbage, isn't it? because a woman can't be a man. >> but why garbage? why? >> but why garbage? why? >> well , it's >> but why garbage? why? >> well, it's garbage. because a woman cannot be a man. a woman may think of herself as a man, but she cannot be a man. are you saying? and vice versa? >> ben, are you saying that people cannot change their gender? >> people may. i may wake up tomorrow morning and not want to be called ben, but be called ben? >> jemima? >> jemima? >> let me know. i'll call whatever i want to be called. >> and that may be my. but that is gender dysphoria. that is a psychological condition. you there is no leads you into. >> there is nothing changing your gender. that's one of the things that the gender

recognition act change. >> you cannot be a woman. you can't if you were born biologically a man and vice versa. >> you can't be a biological woman. you're absolutely right. what you can do is change your genden what you can do is change your gender. so if you get a gender recognition certificate, what you can then do is change your genden you can then do is change your gender. but you're not a woman because you've got a piece of papen >> nigel. come on. >> nigel. come on. >> so what is gender, nigel defined gender. oh. >> gender. gender is something you grow up with. biological sex is immutable. you cannot change feeling . it is immutable. you cannot change feeling. it is a is immutable. you cannot change feeling . it is a feeling. yes. i feeling. it is a feeling. yes. i mean, it is a feeling. >> how can you verify a feeling in law, >> well, good question. which is why the gender recognition act needs to be looked at again, but at the moment we have a system whereby gender dysphoria . so whereby gender dysphoria. so thatis whereby gender dysphoria. so that is a condition, a medical condition which is accepted by doctors with a diagnosis of gender dysphoria. two years living in your, adopted gender. you can then call your use the women's toilets , sadly, but we women's toilets, sadly, but we need to move on. you don't know . need to move on. you don't know. women's only spaces must be

protected, which is why the gender recognition act and the equality, the whole thing is just unfortunately not clearly defined. >> and sadly, the previous government should have sorted this out. but we need to move on to a new story. very interesting story. the government is saying we are a nation of scroungers with record numbers of people, fraudulently claiming benefits. do you think the numbers of scroungers has increased or just greater detection rates with technology? >> well, i absolutely agree that over 27 years of initially labour government and then a very nanny state, i say boris johnson took the nanny state and gave it wetnurse status. you know, when we were locked up and given money for nothing. but we've, we've gone from a nation of aspiration to a nation dependency. absolutely anything goes wrong. we're looking for the nanny state to sort it out. it's always the government's fault. there's no personal agency, there's no getting up and going. and one of the things we've really got to do as a nafion we've really got to do as a nation is withdraw that precautionary principle, that nanny state protective blanket

from people and make people recognise that personal agency is vital in the promotion of not just your own interest, but your family interests and therefore the interests of your community and the country. >> what does that mean? ben what does that actually mean? >> what that means is stop giving people cash in their pockets for doing nothing, and start giving people tax breaks in order to work. and in to order contribute, they're not paying order contribute, they're not paying taxes for a start. so i'm just painting a general direction. but are you saying deregulate universal credit, for instance? >> are you talking about abolishing it? well there are 6 million people on universal credit . credit. >> some of them are getting very close to the net median wage that they would get if they worked . what we need is a very worked. what we need is a very clear gap between what you earn as a net, a net in your pocket from actually working compared to what you get on benefits. and there isn't a gap at the moment. we're turning this nation into a nafion we're turning this nation into a nation of dependence . nation of dependence. >> clearly, clearly that that work it work should pay. i mean, and it doesn't. that's the that's the important thing. but

you're not. but you're not talking about taking away the safety net of universal credit. you would accept there are people who actually need those benefits. otherwise they'll be destitute. >> but there has to be a major adjustment in the way this the british economic system works. >> well, one of the things here, here there should be cracking down on is fraud. i've been out with benefit fraud investigators on raids and seen what they've done to actually catch the fraudsters. i don't know if they still do it, but that's the kind of thing we ought to do. >> we had that massive. was it a bulgarian gang who had funnelled tens of millions of pounds of fraudulent universal credit and so on, back to romania or wherever they're from? >> that should be the national crime agency involved very, very quick. >> last question. where's joe biden? >> where is joe biden? absolutely. i don't believe the conspiracy theories. >> he's not dead. >> he's not dead. >> i don't think so. >> i don't think so. >> no, he's a brilliant commentator , june slater, she commentator, june slater, she calls him joe bedridden. and i suspect i suspect he's bedridden at the moment. why would they not put out a statement? >> i don't know these things. >> i don't know these things. >> okay. all right. ben habib, nigel nelson, thank you very

much. we're going to get the news headlines. and in the meantime, i'm going to take ben and nigel out for a cage fighting match. >> masculinity. >> masculinity. >> ben. thank you. good morning. it's 1131. i'm sophia >> ben. thank you. good morning. it's1131. i'm sophia wenzler in the gb newsroom first to the us, where kamala harris is making quick moves to assert herself as the presumed nominee to face donald trump on her first full day in the race. many of those once tipped to challenge the vice president instead threw their support behind her. that paved the way for her campaign to raise around 81 million usd. just a day after president biden dropped out, survey suggests she's now secured more than enough delegates to clinch the democratic nomination, giving her what she's called broad support. back in the uk , james support. back in the uk, james cleverly has told gb news that would be illegal. migrants were praying for a labour government because it would mean the end of

the rwanda plan. the shadow home secretary said the government had behaved in an arrogant manner, accusing them of tearing up the conservatives migrant plan without informing rwanda. his comments come as the tories set out a timeline for confirming a replacement for rishi sunak as the party's leader. the government is to set out plans to change the name of the for department welfare to the for department welfare to the department for work, work and pensions secretary liz kendall will lay out plans to tackle economic inactivity and help labour meet its long term ambition of reaching 80% employment. it comes after the prime minister announced the creation of a new body called skills england, which she says will fire up home grown labour and reduce reliance on overseas workers . and one of the world's workers. and one of the world's greatest tennis champions will say au revoir. after the paris olympics. andy murray has announced that this year's games will be his last ever tennis tournament . he was recently tournament. he was recently denied a wimbledon farewell in

the singles after he had surgery on a spinal cyst. just a week before the tournament began. in a post on social media, he said that competing for team gb has been by far the most memorable weeks of his career, and he's proud to do it. one final time. those are the latest gb news headlines. for now, i'm sophia wenzler more in half an hour 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. >> cheers! britannia wine club proudly sponsors the gb news financial report, and here's a quick snapshot of today's markets. >> the pound will buy you 131.2903 >> the pound will buy you $1.2903 and >> the pound will buy you 151.2903 and ,1.1881. the >> the pound will buy you $1.2903 and ,1.1881. the price of gold is £1,866.61 per ounce, and the ftse 100 are 8206

issues across the political spectrum in recent weeks and months, so don't you enjoy it ben? >> you enjoy it. you love it. heanng >> you enjoy it. you love it. hearing what he has to say about everything. but yes, talking of big figures, also this row between yvette cooper and james cleverly now over how much the rwanda scheme cost. yvette cooper claiming yesterday that she'd seen the conservatives, spent £700 million. james cleverly this morning on this show. well not this show, but on the breakfast show saying that that's absolute nonsense, that figure. so we're going to speak to mark white and try to dig through what exactly this figure might be coming from . might be coming from. >> absolutely. and all while perhaps the big figure that really does matter is 1400 over 1400 illegal small boat arrivals since this new government came to power, and at least two deaths in the channel. amid all of these different discussions about the amount of money that has been spent on various schemes to try and stop this, i think it's really important to see the wood for the trees and realise that this is a problem thatis realise that this is a problem that is still going on.

>> the telegraph did a report, didn't they? in the week before the election, they sent a reporter over to calais and found that some of the migrants were waiting for a labour government to know that they wouldn't be sent to rwanda. >> yeah, so it's all well. and good getting rid of a deterrent scheme that you don't approve of for one reason or another. but if you don't have a deterrent at all, that's the big question for the home secretary, of course. and also, all eyes on the commons today as well, the house of commons that is over this two child benefit cap. how much pressure actually is there on keir starmer. we'll find out. big big points we should expect around 1230. >> the speaker will select amendments for the king's speech debate, might this backbench labour amendment criticising keir starmer be selected if it is a bit of a headache for the prime minister >> lovely. can't wait, especially for that bbc pay report . and by the way, just report. and by the way, just happy! report. and by the way, just happy i didn't wear .a red tie today because miriam wore red. you didn't get the memo. emily's looking great in red. but, yeah, if i'd worn a red tie, i think people would have been asking questions. >> oh, it's my birthday today. oh. is it? >> you didn't tell us?

>> you didn't tell us? >> thank you. >> thank you. >> i would have got you a cake or something. >> that's 21 years old. >> that's 21 years old. >> 21 years old today? yes >> 21 years old today? yes >> okay. >> okay. >> 23 of you flipped the numbers. >> well, tom. >> well, tom. >> tom. no pressure. i'm sure you have already. wink, wink. but i hope you've got a little cupcake or something. >> oh, more than a cupcake. i've got a whole colin the caterpillar. >> oh, you do not. >> right. thank you both. up next on our show, health secretary wes streeting is starting formal talks with junior doctors this morning. can he finally be the one to solve the ongoing payroll? this is britain's newsroom on gb news. back

tick. hello. welcome back. it's 1141. ben and miriam with you on britain's newsroom only on gb news now. the health secretary, wes streeting, has opened formal talks with junior doctors today as he hopes to end the long running pay dispute. >> the row is now 20 months old over pay and conditions, and it's led to a series of strikes and thousands of frustrated

parents. >> junior doctor bhasha mukherjee is that how you pronounce it? apologies if i've got that wrong. joins us now. just is that correct? first of all, let's get out of the way for courtesy . for courtesy. >> it's bhasha mukherjee. i've been on the show plenty of times, but you know what? i'll let you off for this one. >> okay? apologies to you. so wes streeting, is he really getting a move on here or are we going to see a repeat of perhaps, you know, the conservative way of things where it gets the rail goes on and on andifs it gets the rail goes on and on and it's kicked down the road and it's kicked down the road and all we end up with is just, you know, more chaos. >> i think the good news for this current government is that they are new. so the discussions are going to be hopefully on a fresh new page . whereas for the fresh new page. whereas for the last one year or more than one yean last one year or more than one year, now that we've been in conversation with the tory government, i think the relationship did break down and it was really difficult to salvage that. so if anyone can and if there is any difference to be made, then it really can be wes streeting because at least he's got the benefit of

being a completely fresh perspective . and with completely perspective. and with completely fresh conversations with the junior doctors. >> so but to remind us of the underlying complaint here, it's that the cost of living has increased significantly since 2010. we've had inflation and all those other things, but pay rises haven't followed suit. so how much do the junior doctors feel that they're short of ? and feel that they're short of? and are you confident that you will arrive at a figure that everybody is happy with? >> so, the pay regression has been about 26% in the last 15 years, but to match up to, to actually come up to what we would have been paid 15 years ago, that would amount to about 35% pay restoration. but if you think about the number of junior doctors that that entails and that percentage, when you think about how much they actually get paid at the moment and what that would mean, it would mean that it would go from a junior doctor being paid £15 an hour to £20 an houn being paid £15 an hour to £20 an hour. so actually most people here, 35, and they think it's a

massive number, but when you divide it across the workforce that it is, it's actually not a big number. it's only £1 billion. that would it would entail to restore the pay for junior doctors. and the government has already spent three times that much on paying consultants and other staff to cover these strike shifts. >> and i think a lot of people will be very sympathetic. junior doctors face an enormous amount of responsibility and stress and pressure, and they've often been trained and spent an awful lot of money on their training and a lot of times. but but isn't it the case, though, that if the government gives in to the junior doctors demands, there will be more and more demands, not only from doctors but also other public sector workers that this country just can't afford. >> i think that's unfair to say that the country cannot afford, because if we look at the mismanagement of funds in the past 15, 20 years by the tory government , you can see that government, you can see that they've made lots of bad decisions , which the taxpayer decisions, which the taxpayer has had to fund for. and it is reasonable. the amount that we're asking for is reasonable.

as i said, they've already spent triple the amount of taxpayer money on their decision making of not resolving these strikes already , and that money could already, and that money could have gone to paying nurses better to paying consultants, better to paying consultants, better to paying lots of other, you know, service staff better. but that is a failure of the tory government. and we're looking at wes streeting and the labour government to bring something new to the plate. and hopefully that would be the case. >> yes. okay. great stuff. thanks. bhasha mukherjee for joining us. appreciate it. okay. right coming up, the british long distance runner i'm very excited about this distance legend. let's start that again. show running legend. running legend paula radcliffe joins us to look ahead to the paris olympics this week. and a few words of advice when it to . this is britain's

tick. hello. welcome back. it's 1148.

ben and miriam with you on britain's newsroom covering for andrew and bev. now, the paris olympics kicks off on friday, and it will be the feature. event of the sporting calendar this year. breaking with two new events kiteboarding and kayak ci'oss. >> cross. >> and in the big news this morning, andy murray is stepping down, though fortunately not until after the games. ben is very relieved. >> yes, my hero . so we're >> yes, my hero. so we're delighted to be joined now by paula radcliffe, the british long distance runner and four times olympian. paula, thank you so much forjoining us. it's a real privilege to be speaking with you. you're a decorated olympian, and of course you're here to speak about retirement as well. what do you make of andy murray's announcement that it's going to be his last event? it's the olympics and then he's bowing out . bowing out. >> i think it's really fitting for me and i guess take the opportunity. like so many sports fans , to thank andy for fans, to thank andy for everything that he's achieved and stood up for on and off the court. throughout his sporting career, i think we all know from

experience and very rarely do sports players choose to retire because they want to not play anymore. it's simply because it just becomes too hard to fight through the injuries. the surgeries and those comebacks. and it's your body and not your mind that finally dictates that. so i'm really happy for andy that he gets to draw a line on his amazing career at the olympic games, when really it was those london olympics that was those london olympics that was a great turning point for him in picking up that gold medal, and i think it was a really special moment and so for him to be able to do that now and then, hopefully to look back on his career with a whole lot of pride at what he did achieve and move on to this next phase of life. >> so, paula, you're a legend. you announced you were retiring in 2015, am i correct? and that was after you'd finished that year's london marathon, which i think you clocked in two hours, 36 minutes. so still extremely impressive. how did you come to the conclusion that it was time to retire, and how did you deal

with it? >> well, again, it was it was somewhat forced on me, my, my foot injury essentially broke down in the build up to the 2012 olympics, so i wasn't able to take part . and it was really take part. and it was really important for me to not have injury dictate the end of my career. so it was a long battle back, and i was extremely grateful that the london marathon organisers allowed me to run in the mass race that year and to kind of have it as my retirement race, because similar to andy and choosing the olympics, for me, the london marathon was the race that inspired me. i want to be a runner in the first place. way back in 1985, and then to finally come full circle and be able to run in the mass race and experience that carnival from that side of it was very special for me, and i was extremely fortunate. i mean, i'd already been drawing my pension effectively since i was 35, so i was 42 then at the olympic games because i had sorry, i had that london marathon, because i had great advice around me at the

beginning of my career in terms of the fact that the sporting career is not like any other career, and it and you are always one injury away from it being over , and it will end much being over, and it will end much sooner than you would ordinarily ever choose to retire. so it's about putting those plans in place, and that's why it's important for me to work with scottish widows on this retirement report . just retirement report. just encouraging people just to think about it a little bit more, because particularly at the moment, with that rising cost of living, in fact, the state pension isn't quite going to cover people enough. you don't want to be getting to your late 50s and suddenly discovering that you have to work another seven, eight, nine years, i think it's important to try and think it's important to try and think about those things early on and put plans in place to make sure that for most people, i mean, for andy, for myself, for sports people, it's a little bit of a sad time retirement. but i think for most people it should be a celebration and a moving on to a stage of life where you can really enjoy ticking off all those things on your bucket list and be comfortable in doing so. so it's

just about putting plans in place to be able to do that . place to be able to do that. >> wonderful. and just coming back to the olympics for a moment, who are your top picks? who should the british public be watching out for, >> i'm really excited personally to watch the women's 800m we saw at the weekend. keely hodgkinson, go number one on the world lists coming into the games over the 800m with a phenomenal 154 but right behind her, jemma reekie, who's also there for great britain. and we have a really, really exciting young talent in phoebe gill, who is completing our trio in the women's , 800m. and for us to get women's, 800m. and for us to get three in the final would be phenomenal and entirely can't wait . wait. >> possibly can't wait. >> possibly can't wait. >> the 400m as well with matthew hudson—smith really smashing through that 44 second barrier in london and showing that he is a medal contender, going into those games as well. and then i think for anybody, the men's 1500. can josh kerr repeat what
