yesterday. a complaint was later made after a film was allegedly shown to the crowd in breach of a high court order. posting on social media, his supporters said he's being held by police using powers afforded to them under the terrorism act . under the terrorism act. manchester's mayor is urging people not to rush to judgement following thursday's incident at the airport. there, andy burnham's comments follow the publication of new video obtained by manchester evening news, which appears to show a violent altercation in the lead up to a suspect being kicked by a police officer. that constable is now under criminal investigation for assault . mr investigation for assault. mr burnham says it's a complicated situation with two sides. former met detective peter bleksley agrees. >> there's a number of people that look really daft this morning who were very quick to rush to judgement with absolutely appalling language being pointed in the direction of certain police officers and

this incident now , which i again this incident now, which i again reiterate, we still have not seen all of is going to test, of course, our police, the independent office for police conduct, the crown prosecution service and greater manchester police. and i would say, where's the home secretary? where's the prime minister >> priti patel has become the fifth mp to enter the tory leadership race. the former home secretary says she can unite the party and turn it back into a winning machine. she joins james cleverly, robert jenrick, tom tugendhat and mel stride running to replace rishi sunak. nominations close tomorrow. former deputy chair of the tory party, brendan clarke—smith, told us mr patel will be popular with members. >> is it a good line up there? but i think if you look at priti patel and particularly a relationship with party members as well , they felt very unloved, as well, they felt very unloved, some of them fairly demoralised

after the election campaign. they need somebody who can pick them up again, someone with a bit of vision, someone who's a real blue blooded conservative. and i think priti patel, she actually fits that description pretty well , i'd say. pretty well, i'd say. >> well, tory members may be on board, but these voters we spoke to in litchfield have a very different view. >> i don't think i like the lady too much, and her views and things. >> i'm sure she's a very pleasant individual, and i wouldn't want her as a leader if my life depended on it. she's just not a very good politician , just not a very good politician, andifs just not a very good politician, and it's not what we need now. >> what for you does the does the tory party need david cameron back? >> i think she can be quite aggressive in a manner , i don't aggressive in a manner, i don't like some of the things that she's suggested. >> ulez home secretary. she could be a useless leader for the conservative party i refuse to vote for her water bosses who repeatedly allow sewage to be dumped illegally will face criminal charges under the new

government environment secretary steve reed is warning that they will also be stripped of their bonuses as part of tighter regulations. >> he says customers will receive refunds of money earmarked for sewage system . earmarked for sewage system. investment is not spent in that way . way. >> if water bosses keep pumping these levels of raw sewage into our waterways, they'll face criminal charges. we'll give the regulator the power they need to ban the payment of the multi—million pound bonuses they've been awarding themselves, despite overseeing this kind of catastrophic failure. and we're going to ring fence customers money that is earmarked for investment in improving the sewage infrastructure so that if it's not spent on that, it gets refunded back to customers in discounts off their bills. >> israel has carried out air attacks against hezbollah overnight after a rocket killed 12 people, including children, in an israeli occupied area of golan heights, israel has released this footage, which it says shows weapons caches and terrorist infrastructure being

>> forward slash alerts. >> forward slash alerts. >> thank you very much, ray. right it's the weekend. literally the weekend. sexy new title, so let's have some fun, shall we? now getting straight into today's stories. the first one we're going to cover is, as you've been hearing in ray's headlines, a new video has emerged which is believed to capture the lead up to the moment. a now suspended police officer kicked and stamped on a man at manchester airport. the latest video , obtained by latest video, obtained by manchester evening news, has been released as police attempt to pinpoint events leading up to the attack, which has sparked furious protests across manchester. you can see the scenes, they're fairly horrible, aren't they , it's we saw the aren't they, it's we saw the original video we've seen now the follow up. we were waiting to find out what happened, what the what more context was, now we know a little bit more. i'm not sure we still know the whole story. i'm pretty sure we don't. i've just. are we? what i want to know this afternoon, though, is we see this on social media.

we all, rather than waiting for the facts, have an emotive reaction, don't we? all of us now. and we see stuff on social media without knowing the full story. so what i'm asking now is, are we too quick to react without actually knowing the facts? and we jump to conclusions that can be, let's say, can be dangerous? nigel, what what do you make of this? i mean , it's a horrific story, but mean, it's a horrific story, but the reaction we've had to it has been shocking on, on on many levels. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> it's been extraordinary on the basis that it seems to have really divided the nation, i mean, some people are on the side of the, the police officer who's now been suspended, others on the side of the of the guys who started the whole thing in the first place. you're absolutely right that nobody should jump to conclusions. >> there was a small piece of video we saw. first off, it looked like that the officer was using disproportionate force. >> but then you have to see the whole thing in context. now,

we've seen another bit of video, but that's not not by any means. the end of it. there will be body cams on those officers . body cams on those officers. there'll be a whole host of material that needs to be gone through. the question will come down to did that officer has been suspended? use proportionate force to do what he did . the first video would he did. the first video would suggest not. but that's only the video suggesting it. we don't know the rest of it , know the rest of it, >> and it's interesting you use the phrase sides. it's like you have to pick a side. there are no grey areas. it's either black or white, and you have to pick a side. and that normally entails having a fight. yeah. i mean, what do you make of what you've seen and the reaction to it. >> it's really difficult because as you say, it is picking a side and people are expected to come down on one side or another and hold that view, despite any other evidence coming forward. >> and if you take a view that is different to somebody else, then you get accused of all manner of different things or

not taking it seriously or being a racist or not being a racist. i mean, it, it becomes ridiculous that you can't wait for some evidence. everybody becomes an armchair detective. everybody becomes an expert in the law. and actually, that leads to more problems because there are reporting restrictions around certain events. there are times when, as you both know, you cannot report on something, you cannot report on something, you cannot report on something, you cannot mention it, and then people accuse you of ignoring an entire subject and that's the conversation then leads on to something different. so i think we all need to perhaps calm down a little bit. it is awful. both video clips are awful, but we don't know how it all links together, and i think we need to actually wait for that information to come to any kind of conclusion. >> and there's this implication straight away with with pretty much everything these days that racism is involved. i mean, this was we've seen people outside our rochdale police station and

walking through the streets of manchester saying sort of like racist police, etc, etc. where is there evidence of racism? >> well, and that's the whole point. that's why there needs to be a proper investigation. and at the moment that investigation has turned into a criminal one. in the event that there would be charges, that the offence will be aggravated if there was a racial element. but all that's a matter for the investigation. just because somebody is of a different race to somebody else involved in an altercation doesn't mean racism involved. and it also doesn't mean it wasn't involved. but the point is that the right way forward as andy burnham keeps saying, is to have a proper investigation to find out exactly what happened. >> it is interesting because andy burnham does talk a lot of sense. i personally think most of the time, and he came out straight away and said, right, can we just calm down? we don't know the full story. he had seen, i think, more footage than we had when we came out with this statement. but he was saying, look, let's just let's not jump to conclusions all the time. >> but unfortunately, that to

led people saying, but what do you know? and why haven't you shared it? and why don't we know about it? well, we as the general public actually don't have a right to every piece of information that's ongoing. and people need to realise that, that we don't have an absolute right to whatever the police are looking at, whatever politicians know about something until such time as it's been put together, it would prejudice an investigation as well. absolutely. and i think we don't understand the general public. i mean , excluding journalists mean, excluding journalists because i'm not one, but i think people need to understand that there are real problems and you can be up against the law for putting stuff on social media. and just because you're an individual with an account doesn't mean that you're any less liable for any action that would would continue on into the courts. so i think we all have a duty just to be a little bit mindful, a little bit careful. but unfortunately in this day and age, we all just jump straight on. >> okay, that's another interesting phrase in this day and age, why do you think we are. where is it just social media or are we just living in

such a divisive political world now? no, i think the social media is the is the thing to blame. >> i mean, largely because i think probably we always did this , we always leapt to this, we always leapt to conclusions, but we did it privately. yeah now what you can do is you can leap on social media and that private opinion suddenly becomes public. and i think claire's right. people don't realise they're publishing. this is not just a matter of having a chat. you are publishing information and you're going to be held liable for a contempt of court if you get it wrong. but it is social media that means that we know about it, previously we grumbled in the pub or at home or something like that. now we can grumble to the to the entire country. >> yeah. and armchair detectives, we've seen it all before, haven't we? i mean, jay slater being the most recent one, i mean, and conspiracy theories and it's all on there instantly. and you go down a rabbit hole of what everybody thinks has happened and it can, you know, there are families involved. there are real life people involved in these stories. >> yeah. and that often is

forgotten. and whatever your views on somebody that has gone missing, a young person has gone missing. and unfortunately has has died, has a family and friends . so whilst everybody is friends. so whilst everybody is picking over the rights , wrongs, picking over the rights, wrongs, what may have happened, what may not have happened, it is still an individual. so i think you need to be a bit careful and as nigel said, we all used to discuss it, perhaps with our neighbours over the fence or around the water cooler at work or whatever it was, and it was a conversation that stayed amongst yourselves and we all moved on. but now , unfortunately, you do but now, unfortunately, you do get sucked down this rabbit hole and it is quite frightening to see the level of information people put out there with no bafis people put out there with no basis whatsoever. >> what is interesting about this particular incident in manchester is it comes a week after , a week after, i think, after, a week after, i think, the leeds incident where we saw the leeds incident where we saw the riots in leeds and we saw police not not running away, but not bothering to turn up, and they just literally let the situation happen. so what do you think we want in this country, nigel? is it a police force or a police service, >> well, i think we want a

police service. i mean, the important thing is the police can only police with the consent of the public. every police officer will tell you that on the basis of that, it's got to be a service. the public have to have confidence and trust in the police. when incidents like this happen, that obviously reduces that trust , because we're making that trust, because we're making our mind up about something that may not be true, but we've suddenly said, oh, the force used here was disproportionate , used here was disproportionate, and it may not be, but i think that that's where the police have to be better than everybody else , that they carry out their else, that they carry out their dufies else, that they carry out their duties calmly and relaxed and shouldn't lose their temper . shouldn't lose their temper. >> yeah. claire, i mean, but the police force, they have to be a force occasionally. they need it to be that force in leeds. do you think there is a reluctance amongst the different police forces around the country , to forces around the country, to act when there are certain communities involved? in the leeds case, it was the roma

community, i think so, and i think that we need to go back to calling them a police force. >> i think service is a little bit, but they do serve the public. yes, but you can serve the public. but you are the police. you are there to uphold the law. >> yes, we have powers and they have extra powers and powers to do that . do that. >> but what you're suggesting is going around sort of shaking hands, being nice to people, but actually i want my police officers to be out there like someone said, dancing with rainbows. >> exactly. >> exactly. >> i mean , i don't think there's >> i mean, i don't think there's a place for that, by the way. i mean, there is a place for the police to actually, engage with communities , say, say, at communities, say, say, at notting hill to prevent any kind of riot or whatever to engaging with communities. there's a place for line dancing around and letting things go , because and letting things go, because it's an event like pride or the festival that know you are there to uphold the law, irrespective of what the event is. >> if you're doing your job but >> if you're doing yourjob but the community involved is the law is there to be upheld. >> if you're doing your job properly as a police officer, say, dancing at at a pride march would not stop you upholding the

law if you see a crime being committed, you get back into into your duty as a police officer and go and deal with it . officer and go and deal with it. >> do you not think the image of a police officer dancing at pride and having a police car covered in rainbows is completely contradictory to the fact that they have seemingly run away from the roma community in leeds . when there are two in leeds. when there are two different things, there are no, it isn't because it's the perception of the individuals involved. and if people of this country don't believe that the police are there to support them, to look after them, to turn up to a crime, then why wouldn't stop the police engaging with a community or with a group of people if they're behaving themselves? >> if everyone is having a good time, say a pride march, say celebrations at notting hill. but you can understand , no, it but you can understand, no, it doesn't, doesn't hurt. i mean, i remember notting hill where i have had to hide under a dustbin lid as bricks were coming over because of the riots. >> but do you not see that trust in police is at an all time low, and things like that really

don't help if you see them dancing, and then to see them running away on the other hand, it doesn't help the image of unfortunately, i'm going to have to leave it there. >> we're running out of time. you are so brilliant. i could listen to you all day. really you can invite me round for tea when you feel like it. now, for all the best analysis and opinion on that story, please do go to our website gb news. com however, we've got a real treat for you now. there is still plenty of time to enjoy a massive win this summer with your chance to win £30,000 in tax free cash. just imagine the houday tax free cash. just imagine the holiday you can have , right? you holiday you can have, right? you really could be our next big winner and it's really simple. here's how you do it. >> celebrate a spectacular summer with your chance to win an incredible £30,000 in tax free cash in our great british giveaway. it's the biggest prize of the year so far and it's totally tax free. what would you spend that on? luxury holidays? a new car? or just put it away for a rainy day? whatever you do with £30,000 in tax free cash, make sure you don't miss out on a chance to make it yours for

>> hello. welcome back to the weekend with me. dawn neesom on your telly. online and on digital radio. now. cracking show coming up for you. including the wonderful team g. already breaking records as we finish the very first official day of the paris olympics . day of the paris olympics. olympics with. i'm so excited i can't talk with two medals and more to come today our reporter sophie rupa has the latest from paris . paris. >> well, what a sterling performance yesterday from team gb and we have to say here come the girls. scarlett mew jensen and yasmin harper taking the bronze medal in the women's synchronised diving. amazing performance from them. they did really well to start off with. they dipped a little bit moving down to sixth on the leaderboard. it did look like

they were going to just miss out on the medals when they were in fourth place, but then after a dodgy dive from the australian pair, they managed to clinch that bronze medal. the first diving medal for the women for team gb since 1960. so an incredible performance from them. we were then treated to a silver medal from anna henderson. she went in the women's time trials diff very difficult for all the athletes in that field after the horrendous weather we've been having here in paris. but she managed to do it. she managed to get us that silver medal. so an incredible performance from her today. incredible performance from her today . another action packed day today. another action packed day for team gb. but tonight all eyes are going to move to the aquatic centre as team gb's golden boy adam peaty will go in the men's 100 metre breaststroke final. he's the current world record holder. he's the current olympic record holder and he's the current title holder. after he won the gold in tokyo 2020. so there's going to be a lot of

for hope him. he absolutely breezed through the heats. he qualified in the semi—finals, first in his heat, best time of the bunch. so there's going to be a lot of for hope him tonight to see if he can retain that title, but it is an olympics after all, so only time will tell . tell. >> thank you. that's a marvellous sophie reaper out in paris for us, lucky lady. indeed it would kill to be there and adam peaty, come on. go. i'm sitting on the sofa every night now, watching really fit. wonderful, amazing. people do amazing things well with a glass of wine and food . it's not of wine and food. it's not a good look. now, while the games kick off in paris, an argument over trans women in sport is kicking off at home. culture secretary lisa nandy has been accused of making a mockery of women's sport, after suggesting that there could be some circumstances in which trans athletes, that is, men who have transitioned to women in this instance could compete in women's sport, saying that individual sports should decide whether or not biological males should compete against women. now, this is a very hot topic

with my wonderful panel today, the lovely nigel knowles and his lovely wife, by the way , claire lovely wife, by the way, claire pearsall, i'm saying that just in case they have amazing ra because they are quite likely on this one. claire you have incredibly strong opinion about trans women competing against biological females in sport. >> it shouldn't happen . women's >> it shouldn't happen. women's sport is there to be the best of women in a certain field . now, women in a certain field. now, if you are identifying as a woman, if you've transitioned, that's great. what right does that's great. what right does that give you to go and compete against biological women in sport? because there will always be an advantage. the male makeup, muscle tone, bone density is different. hormone levels are different. you cannot have a fair competition when women's sport is being taken over by a minority, but it will still taken over by those who

are male biologically. i just think the government now a labour government needs to have really got hold of this and look at how much work women put into sport. and as we've just seen with sophie's report, you have got two young women who did superbly in the diving and they were absolutely amazing. and in the cycling and we've got more medals hopefully to come and women's sport is going from strength to strength. we look at the lionesses and their success. why would we want to do them a disservice by allowing biological men into it? >> nigel, i'm assuming you don't quite agree with. >> no, no, we've been bickering about this one all week that on the basis that my argument would be the same as lisa nandy is different. sports require different. sports require different rules, so i think it would be silly to have a complete blanket ban on trans women taking part in in women only events. so there is, you know, it would depend on the

sport. so world athletics, world aquatics, the international cycling union, they say that trans women can't compete unless they've transitioned before puberty. international netball says no trans women should compete now. i think the one actually has to respect that in international golf. i think the same thing applies to us amateur boxing . they say that a trans boxing. they say that a trans woman must have had gender reassignment surgery before being allowed to compete, so they're coming up with their own individual rules. that seems to be the sensible way forward to respect all sides, to respect the biological women who are competing to respect trans women, to be allowed to compete , women, to be allowed to compete, >> okay. so i mean, you don't agree. i know i'm completely i have to be completely neutral on this. obviously, as a woman who used to do sport, i mean, i did a bit of boxing as well. and i

can tell you being punched in the face by a biological man is really no fun. and i think boxing is one of the sports where there are very, very grey areas. and you're right now you're swimming. diving cycling, have protected themselves . they have protected themselves. they are female, biological, female only sports . but there are only only sports. but there are only six sports that do that. there are so many that don't, including contact sports. >> and it just leaves everything open to people's interpretations. so you've got different rules for different sports. and by saying, oh well, they must have transitioned before puberty or you must, why not just have one rule? why not? sports are different. >> so i mean, you're quite happy, for instance, for women to compete with men in equestrian events. yes. well, there's a sport where you don't need to have any kind of ban there. there's a completely different sport in something like shooting. is there any reason why women and men can't compete together and therefore trans women should be able to compete with women ? and what compete with women? and what about international chess? for some obscure reason, the i think

we're just now we're sort of boiling down to something ridiculous. >> yes , i admire official chess >> yes, i admire official chess federation has banned banned trans women. i admire people who can play chess because women only events. >> but isn't that insulting to women that suggesting that men somehow. but we're talking really brighter when it comes to playing chess, right? >> should we leave chess out of this? because i think although we're actually talking about sports and especially contact sports and especially contact sports , equestrianism is sports, equestrianism is different. we've always had men and women on an equal path. >> that was dreadful, that was dreadful. >> i can try and gloss over that for nice, the question is, is different. you are dealing in a completely different sport . you completely different sport. you have men and women have always competed together. it's never been an issue. >> and that's my point. so therefore there are different rules that govern that govern that particular sport. >> you don't have men. sports are different, but you don't have men's showjumping and women's showjumping. exactly. >> that's exactly the point. >> that's exactly the point. >> i'm just playing devil's advocate. you never have done.

>> but but that's the point that every other sport you have, precisely what it comes down to, is you are then then accepting that sport different sporting activities are different . activities are different. therefore you can't have a simple blanket ban across all of them. what you have to do is make sure that a trans woman does not have a physical advantage over a biological woman. so just i mean, this sort of like, you know, provided you transition before puberty, right? >> so you are letting a child of 1011. yeah. transition. >> i'm not saying i agree with that rule , by the way. i'm just that rule, by the way. i'm just i was just giving an example of how the rules are different around the place. but yes, i mean , that's the way they've mean, that's the way they've chosen to do it for their particular sports. >> i know the face, the face covers your response brilliantly. unfortunately, i don't have time for any words, but that face was excellent, right. i'm sorry. we have run out of time. i'm dawn neesom. this is gb news. and it's the weekend, and there's plenty more coming up on today's packed show with these two. it's brilliant. but first, here's the equally brilliant rafe with your news

welcome back to the weekend with me. dawn neesom on your telly. online. on digital radio. hope you're having a wonderful sunday out there now, could we see freedom of movement between the uk and spain? the spanish prime minister has reportedly made a case for an agreement allowing spanish young people to live and work in the uk, and this was in private talks with keir starmer, the labour leader apparently rejected the proposal but said he would consider it. i think thatis he would consider it. i think that is called sitting on the fence, isn't it? but could this be another back door brexit betrayal? come on, we have to use the b word at least once a day. let's see what my panel make of this. i'm sure they'll agree on it. no, i'm sure they won't, actually, claire. and do please keep your messages coming on that one. oh, sorry. i've lost your name there, but you seem to be proposing to claire because you can't understand why she's married to nigel. oh, do keep them coming in, though . he keep them coming in, though. he is lovely. >> could we have some team, nigel? ones in, please ? nigel? ones in, please? >> i'll get back to you. >> no. >> no. no

>> no. no >> right. >> right. >> so now, brexit by the back doon >> so now, brexit by the back door. we've heard this from laboun door. we've heard this from labour. a million times. i'm coming to you first on this one, nigel, because you're the labour chap amongst us here, aren't you?i chap amongst us here, aren't you? i mean, this was something that was discussed at the meeting. at the summit? yeah. the summit? yes. wasn't it ? the summit? yes. wasn't it? yeah, obviously this is coming from the spanish prime minister, not from keir starmer has denied it's going to happen, but does it's going to happen, but does it sound like it's a back door brexit thing? no >> nothing to do with brexit. we can take brexit completely out of the equation here. what keir starmer has rejected is, a youth mobility deal with the eu that's out the window. that would have something to do with brexit. what he's what he was talking to the to the spanish prime minister about. pedro sanchez was the idea of an exchange between young people, between britain and spain, no different from him talking to the canadian prime minister or the australian prime minister or the australian prime minister or the australian prime minister about the same thing. so nothing to do with

brexit, nothing to do with europe beyond the fact that spain is actually in europe, but talks with other countries about how to exchange young people so they so they can study in each other's countries, do certain jobs here. all that seems perfectly sensible and it doesn't breach anything to do with brexit. >> so why has he been so strong to say, no, this isn't happening. >> well, he hasn't quite said that. >> well, no, he never quite says anything. definitely. it was that , he was anything. definitely. it was that, he was approached by the spanish. >> spanish pm says he'll think about it. his aides are saying, well, actually he was being polite , but it's not exactly off polite, but it's not exactly off the table, but it's not on the table either. >> that sounds familiar, doesn't it? claire, would you make a this one? >> well, i mean, i think you're right. i mean, this is just keir starmer all over, and it my son knows full well if i say i'm going to think about something, the answer is no. but with keir starmer, it could mean possibly in the future. i'll say no now, but i'll say yes later. no, i don't have an issue with youth mobility schemes. i actually

think they're really healthy and good for young people to be able to go and study in a different country, get some language skills , which i think the uk skills, which i think the uk lacks a lot of the time . yes. lacks a lot of the time. yes. what i would be concerned about is it's not just going to be one country. we would suddenly find that there are 27 countries and then there'll be something in return. and i do worry with labour that they look ahead an awful lot. >> isn't it? >> isn't it? >> but why not? >> but why not? >> well, because you're talking. it doesn't matter which country you're talking to. i mean it so happens it was the spanish prime minister who came forward and put this up. it could have been anybody else. it could have been anybody else. it could have been any other. >> but the point. >> but the point. >> yes. i mean, there's a lot of whataboutery going on over there, but it wasn't. and we know full well with this meeting summit, whatever it was , that summit, whatever it was, that keir starmer is keen to have a closer relationship with europe, thatis closer relationship with europe, that is obvious, but there's nothing wrong with that. my concern that this is the way it starts. one thing, what's wrong with the close a little bit with europe anyway, right? okay. it

depends what sort of relationship you're talking about, because essentially you're talking about re—entering the single market. >> you're talking about, no, we're not talking. what are you to reverse it? >> no, no, we're not talking about reversing brexit. we're talking about no we're not. it's our, europe is our, our nearest trading partner, our biggest trading partner, our biggest trading partner. no harm at all. and especially with migration to have a closer relationship with europe that doesn't mean we go back into europe. it doesn't mean single market. it doesn't mean single market. it doesn't mean freedom of movement. it doesn't mean any of those things. >> that isn't the message that you get from the heart of what you get from the heart of what you from your labour, your lot. >> put that propaganda out. >> put that propaganda out. >> i'm sorry, but going back into the eu. so keir starmer was the one that was over at the summit talking about migration and looking at perhaps joining back in with a quota of migrants to come back over. and he was please don't tell me that's nonsense. i didn't tell you that was nonsense. >> you wouldn't dare. you wouldn't dare, i would. >> and either he wishes to have ongoing conversations with how you can trade more closely, and

you can trade more closely, and you can trade more closely, and you can see that it would just erode over time . i think that erode over time. i think that anybody looking at it would say that this would be the gradual reducing of what brexit should be. >> i'm going to leave claire with the last word because it's normally a good idea. okay >> we've we've run out of that'll save me . that'll save me. >> yeah. absolutely. see i'm good for you, yeah, we have run out of time. unfortunately, i'm dawn neesom on gb news and this is the weekend, loads more coming up on today's show, some nhs staff have been left scared of speaking out after being told to admit they have white privilege as part of a training scheme . all of that and much scheme. all of that and much more to come. this is gb news, britain's news channel. it's a cracking show coming up. i said don't go go too far.

hello. welcome back to the weekend. lovely, lovely new title. it is the weekend. i'm

dawn neesom. i'm on your telly onune dawn neesom. i'm on your telly online and on digital radio. now. staff at a west midlands nhs trust have been left scared of speaking out after being told to admit they have white privilege as part of a training scheme. the hospital had handed staff a mandatory anti—racism training module as part of a trust wide drive to clamp down on discrimination in the workplace. but workers were left scared of being labelled racist by management if they spoke up, with one staff member telling gb news they couldn't believe some of the offensive training materials, not least which those informed trainees that if you say you don't have white privilege, then you're a racist. now this is the nhs we're talking about here. it's not like it's not like they're struggling to sort out the basics of the nhs, like keeping people alive. what do you make of this? >> i mean, i mean, it is ridiculous. the nhs is there to treat people, treat them with respect, have a training course about treating people properly with respect , whoever they are. with respect, whoever they are. fine. i think if we start

delving down into the, sort of diversity and inclusion route, when there are massive backlogs in the system, then something is wrong. and it is ridiculous to suggest that all white people suffer with white privilege and therefore must be racist. do you know what i think the most people in the nhs just want to go and do their job? yeah and go and do theirjob? yeah and they're going to care for people and they're going to care for people properly. and i think that's all we really require from them. so i don't see a need for any of this training. i do think it's a massive waste of time. i think it's a massive waste of money. if there is a problem, it should be called out and it should be dealt with. you don't need a training course to understand that. >> what do you make of it, nigel? >> i think that an anti—racism training course is always a good idea in any organisation. and if you stop, if you look at delve, delve down a bit into what what this course actually was, what the people were being asked was to define white privilege. they weren't weren't being asked, do

you believe it exists or anything like that? it'd be like saying define a poltergeist or something, but you can you can ask them to define it to make sure they understand it. why are you laughing ? you laughing? >> because these are people who are there to take care of people who are sick, injured , pregnant, who are sick, injured, pregnant, elderly, be what it may. why should you have to? then go and look at the causes of white privilege? the reasons behind it. when you are there to do a job, do you not think of anti—racism? >> course allows them to. it may allow them to rub along better together. >> no, i think it causes more division than it solves. i really do, because now you've got people saying, well, hang on a minute, just because i'm white, suddenly i have to now double check everything. and even if you delve into it even further, those from a bm bame background were also quite offended by it. so it's pleasing nobody. >> i think there's no reason why

people should not object to to the the to the managers of the trust if they don't like the material they're being given. but the principle of an anti—racism course does not seem to be, as far as i can see, doesn't seem to be a problem . doesn't seem to be a problem. and if you discuss something like white privilege, it doesn't mean you have to agree with it or say that right? mean you have to agree with it or say that right ? white or say that right? white privilege exists, but it's not a badidea privilege exists, but it's not a bad idea to be able to talk about it within the workplace . about it within the workplace. >> but realistically, we just want them to do their job. and i think those staff members just want to be able to get on with the job that they have. >> but it might help to do it, might help them to do that job. when it comes down to respecting other people. yeah, i just i don't see i don't see why we're always against these kind of things on the basis that it might help, it might not. but the idea that you can actually get staff to respect each other, to respect patients, to deal with patients who might be racist towards staff, all those those things seem to be all part of the caring duty of the nhs. >> but people are scared to say

that they are upset, don't see the point of or anything else. they're scared to mention it because they're going to be labelled as a racist. and how is that good? >> you can't answer that question because i've run out of time. i'm probably saving you again, nigel. you can thank me later . we are running out of later. we are running out of time, right? a black country integrated care system who organises for the nhs, told gb news the ics works with walsall healthcare and staff from across the black country to develop training modules that are representative of the communities that make up our workforce and use our services. we would encourage anyone who feels uncomfortable with any aspect of mandatory training to make us aware, so we can discuss their concerns. okay, i'm gb news gb news. i'm dawn neesom done my lord. been a long day, this is gb news. this is the weekend i'm enjoying myself. hope you are lots more coming up on today's show. but first, it's the weather with greg. fingers crossed it's good. >> a brighter outlook boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb. news

independent office for police conduct, the crown prosecution service, the greater manchester police and i would say, where's the home secretary? where's the prime minister >> priti patel has become the fifth mp to enter the tory leadership race. the former home secretary says she can unite the party and turn it back into a winning machine. she joins james cleverly, robert jenrick, tom tugendhat and mel stride running to replace rishi sunak. nominations close tomorrow. former deputy chair of the tory party brendan clarke—smith, told us miss patel will be popular with members is it a good line up there? >> but i think if you look at priti patel and particularly a relationship with party members as well , they felt very unloved, as well, they felt very unloved, some of them fairly demoralised after the election campaign. they need somebody who can pick them up again, someone with a bit of vision, someone who's a real blue blooded conservative. and i think priti patel, she actually fits that description pretty well. i'd say. >> well, that's his views. we

spoke to voters in litchfield. they seem to have a bit of a different view. >> i don't think i like the too lady much and her views and things. >> she's a very pleasant individual and i wouldn't want her as a leader if my life depended on it. she's just not a very good politician and it's not what we need now . not what we need now. >> what for you does the does the tory party need david cameron back? >> i think she can be quite aggressive in a manner, i don't like some of the things that she's suggested with the home secretary. >> she can be a useless leader for the conservative party. i refuse to vote for her water bosses who repeatedly allow sewage to be dumped illegally will face criminal charges under the new government . the new government. >> environment secretary steve reed warning that they will also be stripped of their bonuses as part of tighter regulations. he also says customers will receive refunds if money earmarked for sewage system investment is not spent on that purpose.

>> if water bosses keep pumping these levels of raw sewage into our waterways, they'll face criminal charges. we'll give the regulator the power they need to ban the payment of the multi—million pound bonuses they've been awarding themselves, despite overseeing this kind of catastrophic failure. and we're going to ring fence customers money that is earmarked for investment in improving the sewage infrastructure so that if it's not spent on that, it gets refunded back to customers in discounts off their bills. >> israel has carried out air attacks against hezbollah overnight after a rocket killed 12 people, including children, in an israeli occupied area of golan heights . israel released golan heights. israel released this footage, which it says shows weapons caches and terrorist infrastructure being targeted deep in lebanon. the country has vowed to inflict a heavy price after a rocket struck a football pitch in the village of majdal shams, the deadliest attack on israeli territory since the start of the

a good one, by the way, i've just got to read some of your messages because you're brilliant. this is from jonathan. hi, jonathan. jonathan says, claire, wake up and smell the coffee. nigel's dad was obviously a tool maker. >> i'm sorry. >> i'm sorry. >> that is probably the message of the day. on the other hand, alan. hi, alan says, claire and nigel are living proof that opposing political views should not affect your relationship . not affect your relationship. >> yeah, that's absolutely right. yes. >> lovely. which it doesn't. >> lovely. which it doesn't. >> yeah, much. >> yeah, much. >> she told you to say that, didn't she ? right. okay, let's didn't she? right. okay, let's get straight into today's story, shall we, now, priti patel has announced her bid to become leader of the conservatives. the former home secretary says she can unite the party and turn it back into a winning machine. can unite the party and turn it back into a winning machine . she back into a winning machine. she joins. bear with me on this one. james cleverly, tom tugendhat, robert jenrick and mel stride in the race to replace rishi sunak nominations close tomorrow and there'll be still more to come. you just know that's happening, to get some reaction from you on the story, i'm joined by gb news

reporter jack carson from lichfield, who's been doing a sterling job up there, jack, what sort of response are you getting to this? >> it's a real mixed response, really, up here in lichfield, of course, to put it into perspective about the satan and of course, and of course, how it is politically. i mean, this has been a tory stronghold really since 1992. michael fabricant was the mp up until the election this year, where the conservatives saw a 30% drop in their vote share. one of the big parts of that was, of course, was the rise of reform , part of was the rise of reform, part of the reform party, of course, led by nigel farage. they took almost 20% of the vote here, almost 20% of the vote here, almost certainly that being one of the main reasons why michael fabncant of the main reasons why michael fabricant was unable to hold on to this seat. so it's gone. laboun to this seat. so it's gone. labour. so this is really the epitome of one of the seats that whoever is the next conservative party leader is going to have to try and win back at that next general election in a few years time, if they have any chance, really, of trying to form a government. of course. dame priti patel being the latest name to put herself forward for that role, talking about unity.

but then all of the candidates have done that. she's trying to distance herself, you know, from and kind of show that she's different by saying that if she was elected as the as the candidate, of course, to become leader of the opposition, she would try and democratise the party more. having a democratically elected party chairman talking about giving members a greater voice and a greater role in deciding things like policy, that's certainly been one of the things that's been one of the things that's been picked up by people that we've spoken to today that feel that they feel like that, that party, the conservative party, distances itself from maybe traditional conservative policy being one of the reasons, maybe why they felt disenfranchised by the party. but take a listen to what few voters have told us today. >> she's just not a very good politician, and it's not what we need now. >> what for you does the does the tory party need david cameron back because she's useless? >> so what has been useless? she put in this rwanda business which cost the taxpayer a lot of money and it never, never happened. yeah. it's a rotten

party. always has been. it's been a rotten party since, cameron got prime minister when he had an alliance with the lib dems. and what the lib dems do. absolutely nothing. >> i don't really care about them at the moment. >> they're not relevant, are they ? they? >> they just fight amongst themselves. >> so you know, i'm not sure. >> so you know, i'm not sure. >> i think the fact that there were so many candidates running is a worry itself. >> you know, there's no that just says to me there's no unity. they really ought to like have these conversations behind closed doors , agree the leader closed doors, agree the leader between themselves or perhaps two and then have a vote. otherwise it's just going to get even more divisive. and they're going to be arguing about things over which now, because of what they've done in the past, they have no control. >> so you can hear there, you know, a real mixed response from people on the street here in litchfield. some just thinking that she's, you know, she's too divisive, some thinking , you divisive, some thinking, you know, that she's got a lot of work to do. if she was to become

of course, the leader, you've got that surge and trying to tame that surge towards reform as well as, of course, in the opposite direction towards the liberal democrats. so whoever is that tory leader, a lot of work to do to unite that party. >> indeed. thank you very much. jack carson there on well priti patel and putting her hat in the ring for the leadership of the conservative party now nigel and claire are still with me, just about but they are still here, claire, i mean, it's probably getting quicker to read out people that aren't running for the leadership of the conservative party, but what i found interesting there was the chap who said, is it even relevant anymore? >> yeah. and i think that that's the real problem for the conservative party at the moment. no longer in government. and people are wondering, why are we paying attention to the internal battles ? because you're internal battles? because you're irrelevant. you've got 121 members. and to be fair, they have a point. but for the rest of us who are conservative

supporters, conservative members, that wish to see the party come back, it is important. but i must admit, to hold my head in my hands the entire time. the words tory leadership come up on any kind of screen because you think we've been around this block so many times with pretty much the same bunch of faces that are coming out at the moment, and every single one of them says, we want unity, and i'll bring it. well, you didn't last time. you probably can't. this time. but here we go again. >> and it kemi badenoch is very popular and is expected to also step forward probably tomorrow. >> we're expecting but popular with who with conservative members evidently . members evidently. >> evidently. and this is i mean this is to according a poll. >> i'm not making it up according to a poll, but this is what i mean. >> you get all of these polls coming out and people pick out the best ones for their particular running mates. right? okay. nobody's asked me. i've been a member for a very long time, never been included in any

of these polls in my life . of these polls in my life. >> that's interesting, isn't it? who are they asking? well, yeah . who are they asking? well, yeah. >> so yes, i'm sure that she has got a lot of popularity with with some people. but then you could equally say that of all the other candidates and you can be very, very choosy when it comes to, to statistics and polling of course, as we've seen, you can always pick out those numbers that , favour you those numbers that, favour you the best. >> i'm going to put you on. i'll put you on the spot. who would you like to see? >> i don't know, i really don't, because we haven't seen the final list. they have until 930 tomorrow morning in order to do so. and i want to hear from all of them as to what their priorities are. so at the moment, i'm going to do a proper keir starmer of sitting on the fence. >> do it very beautifully. >> do it very beautifully. >> it has to be, said nigel. >> it has to be, said nigel. >> what do you make of this? i mean, priti patel. i mean, it's there's a growing list of them. we'll probably have more by tomorrow morning. >> we will have more by tomorrow. and i mean, you're not surprised that i'm not a member of the conservative party? >> no. you hide it well . >> no. you hide it well. >> no. you hide it well. >> so it's not really. i don't have a vote in this. what i

think is going on from being down at the house of commons and talking to mps is at the moment, the game plan is who don't you want rather than who you do. >> right. okay. >> right. okay. >> so where priti patel might score is if you don't want kemi badenoch and i didn't detect much enthusiasm. no. the other side over there. and you don't want robert jenrick vote for priti patel. now tory membership tends to be a fairly right wing, right wing sort of electorate. so priti patel would then have a good chance and she would end up then in this final four, which do their beauty parade before party conference in october, and she would then probably be up against james cleverly. she would then probably be up against james cleverly . then against james cleverly. then you've got your on your the left of the party, the one nation people that would then leave you with tom tugendhat and mel stride. so they may be the four you end up with. then it's up to the mps to whittle those down to the mps to whittle those down to the two. so either mel or tom or

pretty or james, and then it goes to the goes to the membership and they will do it. what i don't understand is the elections being won by a massively won by a centre left party. the idea that the tory party would think there's electoral success in moving right rather defeats me. >> who do you think? two questions for you, nigel. as a political journalist, putting aside any political bias yourself, who do you think would be the best leader of the conservative party? >> well, i don't think we've got i think i agree with claire that at the moment that they all look pretty. pretty manky. i'm afraid they've all got a history of doing things that have been pretty hopeless . what i'd like pretty hopeless. what i'd like to see is somebody completely new come forward in the same way that dave. it's interesting that david cameron was mentioned a couple of times amongst the people you talked to in lichfield, that he came he was, if you like, a clean skin back in 2010 and came out and in

fact, he was probably the last leader of the tory party who i thought was made a good prime minister and a good leader. >> that's interesting. do you agree? do you agree with your husband for once? >> i do actually, because i think it does require some new thinking and it is going to be somebody that we, we haven't thought of. that's got to be of a benefit to the conservative party if they can just stop fighting amongst themselves, that would be a start. it would be, wouldn't it. >> yeah. it's i just want someone in politics to actually sort of like be we, they all say united, we're united. i mean, the story today about keir starmer sort of like trying to get rid of angela rayner again. it's just like, can we just stop? yes. stop fighting like rats in a sack. right. okay, so for all the best analysis and opinion on that story and much more, go to our website gb news. com. meanwhile, if you want to escape from all of this infighting, here's a way you can do it. you can enjoy a massive win. this summer. it's your

hello. welcome back to the weekend with me. dawn neesom on your tv, online and on digital radio. now, should we do some royals? why not? rude not to king charles may never reunite with his grandchildren. prince archie and princess lilibet. as prince harry refuses to bring

his family to the uk, the duke of sussex declared last week that he will not travel to britain with his wife, meghan, due to security fears of a knife or acid attack from a lone actor, which means the king, who is having cancer treatment, remember, will become more and more remote from the children in an incredibly sad situation now. okay, let's see what my panel make of this. nigel and claire are still with me, nigel, this is really. i mean , any family, i is really. i mean, any family, i mean, you know, put aside the fact they're royal. it's not being able to see your grandchildren. it's. it must be quite hard. i mean, it's not like the king can just travel over to california and pop in and see them. it's not that easy when you're the king, is it? >> no. and also not. >> no. and also not. >> not when you're. when you're not very well either. yeah, so no, that's absolutely right. and i think that i was surprised that harry came out with what he did on that documentary about the tabloid press. yeah. well, so it was harry who raised who's who's been raising the prospect of this lone attacker with a knife or acid, that's not

something the press got up, and he shouldn't have said it. now if meghan feels that she is not secure in this country, don't blame her at all for keeping her away and keeping away with with the kids . but away and keeping away with with the kids. but harry can't stop bleating about. i ought to have police protection because of that. that's assessed by the home office, as if he was a working royal. he would automatically get police protection . now he's not. they protection. now he's not. they make their own threat assessment. they've obviously decided that the threat against him doesn't warrant the taxpayers money. you would spend on a huge kind of police presence. >> well, >> well, what >> well, what do >> well, what do you >> well, what do you make >> well, what do you make of >> well, what do you make of it claire? i mean, you know, considering harry and meghan live in america where there are more guns than people, i was going to make that point. >> why suggest that the uk is this incredibly wild west country when you're coming from america, where a presidential candidate, nominee, whatever he

is at the moment, has there was a potential assassination attempt? well, that seems quite dangerous. the gun laws in america, you know, are there. everybody carries. i would argue that it was much more dangerous to be over there than it is here. if his wife does not want to come with the children, that is up to them. but i think it is a real shame that the king, who can't just hop on a flight and p0p can't just hop on a flight and pop over for tea , he isn't going pop over for tea, he isn't going to see his grandchildren. i think that's really, really sad. but that is a matter for them to sort out. but prince harry going on and keep bleating about it. and yet another program will inevitably come from it, i think just makes a mockery of the whole thing. >> and i found what he said . i >> and i found what he said. i mean, i'm not surprised that harry's having a go at the tabloids, which which, you know, we're used to getting a kick in now, aren't we, as tabloid hacks? nigel? but it's just the way he phrased it. it's almost like inviting that to happen. almost. it was like. i mean , i'm almost. it was like. i mean, i'm not sure i've ever seen a story implying that that is a danger to him. no. >> that's right. that's why i

think mentioning it was a mistake from his point of view, because almost you encourage people, you know , this sort of people, you know, this sort of lone wolf to come forward. so he shouldn't have done that. i mean, i think my, my sympathy with harry and it actually extends to the whole royal family is they were born into it. they didn't choose it, if people don't like the press and particularly the tabloid press, that's fair enough. but people who choose to be in politics to be, top sports people to be celebrities, that obviously means part of the job is, satisfying the interest of the pubuc satisfying the interest of the public through the press. harry was born into it. so it's not his fault . equally, i'm not sure his fault. equally, i'm not sure the vendetta he's pursuing will really get us anywhere. >> i mean, because he initially claire didn't, he went to california for a quieter life. a low profile, and i've never seen i see more of harry talking and being interviewed and being on tv programs, and i do any other

member of the royal family, he was exhorting us all to respect his privacy on a netflix show, talking to oprah winfrey , talking to oprah winfrey, writing a book, going on tours, complaining about press intrusions. >> so, you know , my sympathy >> so, you know, my sympathy with him is limited. >> so, you know, my sympathy with him is limited . i really with him is limited. i really loved harry when he was growing up and he was part of the royal family. he was one that i thought, oh, look at him, bless him, i think he's lovely and i. so you wanted to almost mother him and now you're looking at him and now you're looking at him and now you're looking at him and you just think. stop it. yeah. you need to grow up properly. and if you want that kind of privacy, you want that life away from the royal family, then go live it, >> i mean, i was lucky. lucky enough, if that's the right phrase to cover diana's funeral. so i was standing at the front, and i watched those two little boys walk behind their mum's coffin, and it was heartbreaking. i just lost my own dad. so i was sort of, you know, even though i was older, i was sort of like, understand what it was like. and i've always had enormous sympathy for the boys. and i also had interviewed diana, and she loved how the boys looked after another and were protective. so

all of this has gone on since now, and to have archie and lilibet now being part of this feud, i find really sad. i think it's very distasteful. >> yeah . and i think claire's >> yeah. and i think claire's right, right here. you are right today at one point. that's good. that the what harry should be doing is keeping a low profile. i mean, if he wanted that kind of privacy, if he wanted to get out of the whole royal circuit, that's fine. but now live as a private citizen. yeah. there's no reason why he can't do that. look, the duke of windsor would have been king years ago . he have been king years ago. he lived privately after he. after he abdicated. so on the basis of that , harry he abdicated. so on the basis of that, harry should he abdicated. so on the basis of that , harry should actually he abdicated. so on the basis of that, harry should actually use that, harry should actually use that as the model. >> yeah it is, it is incredibly sad and, and you must wonder how, you know, the king is feeling about this because as we said, he can't just hop on a plane. yeah. and he is a grandfather . grandfather. >> and i think the problem is that it's almost we always like somebody to have a right of reply. but when you're the

monarch and you can't, you're frustrated. you put out a tweet saying , oh, actually, i feel saying, oh, actually, i feel this. you can't do that. so you have to sort of step away. and i think it gives people the wrong impression , perhaps, of the impression, perhaps, of the king, because i'm sure that he is feeling particularly sad about all of this. yeah. none of us know for sure . none of us are us know for sure. none of us are in those conversations, but i can't imagine it's easy. >> can you imagine having to keep quiet, nigel? well, actually, you probably know what that's like, don't you ? i've not that's like, don't you? i've not being able to respond. sorry. we're out of time. okay. i'm dawn neesom. this is gb news the weekend. there's plenty more coming up on today's show, but first i get excited because it's ray. it's ray with the headlines. >> natural human reaction to 29. almost 230. let's look at our top stories. tommy robinson supporters say he's been arrested under anti—terror laws. it follows a rally in central london which attracted thousands

around. that'll be in my first hourin around. that'll be in my first hour in the clash. then i have the most incredible outside guest. now i can tell you who the guest is. usually i do a tease, but it's michael j. patel and he's on behalf of patients. patient lives matter. it's an incredible story about his his son balram, who died last year. and he believes that had balram be given the correct care and a second opinion, that he'd still be with us today. so he was his child who died. he had multiple disabilities, but it's all about the care of the patient and the kind of care they received. so it's an incredible story. you won't want to miss that. also, chatting about weather, the weather, the labour party are in hock in a sense , or with the hock in a sense, or with the unions because the unions are suggesting that civil servants should work from home. >> indeed, that sounds like an amazing show , a really amazing show, a really fascinating balance of stuff. they're coming up with nana and that's at 3:00, so don't you dare go anywhere now remember, let me know your thoughts on all the stories we'll be discussing

and welcome back to the weekend with me. dawn neesom on your telly, online and on. stop sniggering, nigel. and on digital radio. now the countdown starts as today marks 100 days

until a new leader of the free world. that's the united states. if you're confused, republican nominee and former president donald trump had this to say on his rival kamala harris while campaigning in minnesota last night. let's have a listen, shall we? >> harris presidency means four more years of extremism , more years of extremism, weakness, failure, chaos and probably world war iii. i really believe it . believe it. >> he has a way with words, doesn't he ? i mean, he has doesn't he? i mean, he has actually been pretty outspoken about his rival, now trump's policies, immigration. let's take immigration. nigel. he was actually quite successful when he was president . so why? well, he was president. so why? well, i mean, more successful than camilla's been with the mexican border, so why doesn't he emphasise the positives that he can bring rather than calling her some pretty. what did he call her? a bomb the other day ? call her? a bomb the other day? >> yeah, well, he called it. he called her evil, a radical left lunatic, dumb as a rock. that particular speech. i mean, the

trouble is, he comes out with this stuff, and i think the mistake that was made the last time he stood was that the that the democrats took him literally, but not seriously. where is his supporters? take him seriously. not literally. so he can come out with this stuff. they quite like it. but he knows thatis they quite like it. but he knows that is a they're trumpism's. they're not something that they that he actually really means, or at least they don't think think he really means said. but you could imagine those kind of words if they were used in a british election. i mean, any leader who was doing that would be completely castigated. oh, you can't. >> oh, god . actually, that's >> oh, god. actually, that's a good point. can you imagine, claire, if i mean, it would make it more fun for us lot, but it kind of would. >> i mean, one of the comments that he came out with recently was about the fact that she, she was about the fact that she, she was about the fact that she, she was a childless cat lady. oh, yeah. >> mad cat lady. yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, basically now spawned a thousand memes of high powered women with cats. >> and you've got cat women for kamala, which is pitched up on

twitter. and you just sort of think, yeah, if that was in the uk, a would find it amusing and it would brighten up a whole contest , but also it wouldn't be contest, but also it wouldn't be allowed to happen. no, no , he allowed to happen. no, no, he does get away with saying the most outrageous things about somebody, but it's part of american politics, which is very, very different to ours. and i wish that he would look at the positives of his own achievements when he was president and to say, this is what i can offer, and this is why i'm the best candidate. and i think politics in this country and in the us has gone down that whole route of pointing out how awful everybody else is without saying why you're better. >> i don't think that the trump is so arrogant. he thinks that's a given , that everyone thinks, a given, that everyone thinks, oh, you know, all my positive sides, but everyone knows about that. i'll just have a go at the opposition instead. >> and it's surprising because people's memories are short when it comes to politics. and you need reminding of things that have happened and it happens to us here. when you start to think

back to a previous administration, you forget, oh yeah , that person was an mp. oh yeah, that person was an mp. oh yes, that policy came in and you forget very, very quickly what people have said. so i always think it's a very good idea to remind them about how good you've been. and i wish he would do that and spend less time accusing somebody of the fact they don't have children, therefore they can't have a say in anything. >> as a woman. claire, what did you make of that comment? because a lot of women did get very upset. and amongst women. now i mean, kamala now has an 11 point lead over trump amongst women. >> yeah, i think it's a really distasteful comment. i mean, there are women who cannot have children for many reasons. there are also women who have chosen not to have children, and everybody's right to live. how they wish. and i think it's really poor taste. i don't hear those comments about men . do you those comments about men. do you ever know when it comes to children? it's always women enhen children? it's always women either. why haven't you got any ? either. why haven't you got any? why have you got so many, who

looks after them? why aren't you staying at home? why aren't you working ? whatever it is to do working? whatever it is to do with children, it's always the woman's problem. when there are two people in a relationship that make a child. so i always think that it's the lowest common denominator. when you go into political arguments and you start having a go at women, and especially those without children, i think you've lost an argument. >> i mean, to be fair, i mean someone john has just pointed out that it was jd vance that made the cat lady comment rather than on the ticket of donald trump. yeah, i mean, it is. they are seen as a pair now, aren't they?i are seen as a pair now, aren't they? i mean, you know, just the rhetoric just casually dropping in world war iii. i mean, i'll save you from world war iii. >> i mean, well, it was nonsense, but i mean, this is it, though, nigel. >> well, let's look at look at a positive from trump. he didn't start any wars when he was president last time, so that's a positive. unlike some of his predecessors, but when you start talking about world war three,

that the idea that kamala harris is going to lead us into it, everyone knows that's a nonsense. it doesn't mean there won't be world war iii. but the idea that she's she's actually there with some sort of witch's brew, conjuring up world war iii is just is just not something that's going to happen, so i think that what he should be saying is, how do you avoid world war iii? and he does talk about trying to solve the war in ukraine. now, obviously, president zelenskyy is not terribly happy about the way he might try and do that, but that in a sense is a is a, is a direction to go in. if you could end the war in ukraine and it was a it was a peace that actually satisfied both sides. that would be one major achievement. >> who do you think would be better for the uk? claire i think it's a really interesting question because i don't know the answer to that. >> i think that they're both incredibly different and it's down to the elected

representative in this country, the prime minister, to make the best of any relationship with the leader of the free world, whoever he or she may be. so i don't think we should necessarily look at it as to what is in our own keir starmer will, in fairness, try and do. >> but quite . i didn't criticise >> but quite. i didn't criticise keir starmer did. what i'm saying is in fairness, he will try and do that. the problem is god is that the labour party has obviously got a greater affinity with the democrats than it has with the democrats than it has with the democrats than it has with the republicans. so it's a it's a more difficult job for keir starmer than it was, say , keir starmer than it was, say, for boris johnson and probably for boris johnson and probably for rishi sunak. >> but i think we all need to be thinking that the very fact is it's who is best for the united states. this is not our to business say, you know, we would prefer to have x, y or z because that suits us better. this is the american people and their country and their election, and they need to be able to have confidence in that person. and we will work . we as a country we will work. we as a country will work with whoever that may be.

>> interesting. >> interesting. >> we're running out of time, unfortunately. but colin, you've said not a trump fan, really. however, i do think the world will be safer with trump as president. i can't see putin or the ayatollah of iran being that bothered about what harris says and does. interesting point. a lot of you feel similarly about that, right? okay. keep those messages coming in. by the way. we're loving them. i'm dawn neesom, this is gb news and there's lots more coming up on today's packed show, the weekend. love that title . now, weekend. love that title. now, 46% of you are now likely to choose something other than a roast dinner from the menu. when eating out on a sunday, i mean, what are you doing out there? is this the death of the great british roast? all of that and much more to come. this is gb news, britain's news channel. don't go too far.

welcome back to the weekend with me . dawn neesom on your telly.

me. dawn neesom on your telly. online and on digital radio. we're having a chat about being domestic gods here at the moment. and how useful husbands can be, in the kitchen. right. talking of kitchens, is the classic sunday roast dying out a poll of 2000 adults found 46% are now likely to choose something other than a roast from the menu. then, when eating out on a sunday. well, given my lovely panel, nigel and claire are with me on a sunday. quite clearly not having a roast because the production we thought you'd actually deliver. yeah, the production, the production team are rubbish. i mean, you know, you've got a cup of tea and have done with it, wouldn't you forget that it's another. actually, no. you didn't. sorry. no, it's another british tradition, claire, that we are destroying. why are we not having roast anymore? >> the problem, i find, is that when you go out, i like my roast potatoes to be really, really crispy. everyone goes straight . crispy. everyone goes straight. guarantees that that's going to happen when you go out. and i

always think that there is nothing worse than a disappointing roast dinner, so i'd rather not have one. >> there is going to tell me . >> there is going to tell me. sorry, claire and i just didn't turn and stare at nigel then. but i mean , but yeah. but i mean, but yeah. >> no, but but also, if you're going out to eat, why not choose something completely different ? something completely different? l, something completely different? i, i like cooking roast dinners occasionally. not very often, because we generally work on a sunday, but it's nice when you do. i enjoy doing it. it's a it's a family thing, and when i go out, i know there are other dishes that i want to try. >> would you have if you're going out to a restaurant, if nigel was whisking you out now, to make amends, for a roast dinner , i would certainly you dinner, i would certainly you would have a roast on a sunday. >> i would always have a roast. claire would choose something different. right. >> what would you go for, claire? >> probably some fish. >> probably some fish. >> right. okay. >> right. okay. >> it's not something that i would always cook at home. largely because i don't have the time. so i think a nice piece of

fish with some vegetables that would suit me down to the ground. right. >> but you definitely go for a ride on a sunday lunchtime. >> i would plump for the roast. yeah, yeah . yeah, yeah. >> and how do you like your roast, nigel? >> i like those crispy potatoes and i agree with claire that you can't always guarantee at a restaurant you'll get really cnspy restaurant you'll get really crispy potatoes. i recommend claire's crispy potatoes, which are brilliant . are brilliant. >> oh, look at that. >> oh, look at that. >> oh, look at that. >> oh, that's so sweet. i mean, but what is been instead of roast potatoes right now this is going to horrify both of you. obviously people are swapping roast potatoes for mac and cheese. >> no no no no. this is not america. no, we don't have mac and cheese. i mean, that mac and cheese is something i had my child when he was smaller, sort of after school and things like that. macaroni and cheese. yeah, he liked that. but it's not something that you have as a roast dinner. i'm sorry, but it's the same way that, you know, people add random things into either an english breakfast or into roast dinners. i mean, i've heard of somebody having baked beans with a roast dinner. no, no baked beans. stop it.
