generate political pressure that it says is needed to stop the use of future fossil fuels. gatwick says its terminals remain open and are operating normally . those are the latest normally. those are the latest gb news from latest gb news headlines. for now, i'm sam francis much 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. >> welcome to britain's newsroom we are back. we've been on our holidays, not together. that maybe doesn't need pointing out . maybe doesn't need pointing out. this is, of course, britain's newsroom with me and andrew. have you had a nice holiday? >> i have very nice. nice to be back. and i've come back and it's summer. >> the sun is shining. wow. >> the sun is shining. wow. >> yeah. that's like something. >> yeah. that's like something. >> and the olympics have started. okay. so we'd to love know what you think. this

morning of the olympic opening ceremony, i was watching it aghast. i'm sure you were as well. >> well, i mean, i made a joke with eamonn holmes, but it's not funny, really, is it still going on? it went on and on and on and on. it was meaningless. if you can have an olympic opening ceremony, you need a focus. that's called the stadium. but having it disparate all over paris, the stupid, childish, offensive drag show, the olympic flag upside down. celine dion was apparently very good, but i'd passed out by then. >> i think it's partly as well for me. what is the olympics? so the motto of the olympics is faster, higher , stronger. yeah, faster, higher, stronger. yeah, and that opening ceremony was just fatter, weirder. stranger because you've got these athletes who represent brilliance. they're just amazing at what they do. peak of their powers. and then you've got a bunch of weirdos , frankly, who bunch of weirdos, frankly, who are normalising obesity completely at odds to the physical specimens which are competing in the sport. you've got this idea that gender doesn't matter anymore. there's

no such thing as a man and a woman. let's just all be one amorphous mass of they and them's. it was utterly depraved, actually. and to satirise that last supper would just beyond. >> and they've apologised for that now, would they have satirised a similar event in the muslim calendar? no, no, they would not. in a city like paris, which has had all sorts of race riots, it just it was the final straw for me , really. and it straw for me, really. and it went, it was just so long. and you could see that pathetic, ridiculous, pompous , preening ridiculous, pompous, preening peacock macron. it was down to him. >> there was a man, i think. well in hot pants with his testicle hanging out. >> yes . what was that about? >> yes. what was that about? >> yes. what was that about? >> and okay, you might say it was a wardrobe malfunction. possibly. possibly not. but there were children. like there were children in that scene of sort of, like i say , i genuinely sort of, like i say, i genuinely think it was a sort of sexual depravity. i know i've gone a bit mary whitehouse here this morning. didn't take long, did it? >> well, but but that fits in

with the presence talking of sexual depravity in the olympics of the dutch beach volleyball player, he is a rapist. >> steven van der velde . >> steven van der velde. >> steven van der velde. >> so he in 2014 came to britain aged 19, raped over two days, three times a 12 year old british girl, he was jailed in 2016 for four years. he served one year here, then went to holland. of course, holland, with its very relaxed darling view to , incarceration. he view to, incarceration. he didn't serve any more time in prison. i'm sorry. i know it's the prisons is about redemption and but he's on the, he's on the sex offenders register for at least 15 years. so if he's on the sex offenders, he's on there because he's perceived to be a potential danger. what is he doing? flying flag for king and country as it is in holland? or is it the queen in holland? i can't remember, they've got a queen at the moment. i think

it's shameful. >> i see this quite differently, actually, to you, because the story being that when he was 19, clearly a very immature 19, but an adult, an adult, but a teenager , an adult, true, but teenager, an adult, true, but a teen, and he met a 12 year old onune teen, and he met a 12 year old online that he didn't know was 12. he thought she was 16. they built they established this relationship. this is just the facts. it's not my opinion. they established a relationship that he came over. he flew over to luton to visit her. they spent a few days together , consensually few days together, consensually spending time together. he didn't hold this girl captive. she obviously was in all sorts of who knows what sort of psychological and emotional dysfunction, but she can't consent to have sex. at 12 years old, she confessed to him that she was 12. he knew that, and he had sex with her three times. horrific for that, he spent time in prison because he told her to go and get a morning after pill when he'd gone back to the netherlands. >> and that's and that's how the authorities found. >> and at the clinic, they said, how old are you, dear? and she said, i'm 12. and therefore there was a knock on his door. he was arrested and he spent time in prison. now i would say

ten years ago he has come out and he's turned his life around via sport. and i think for men, particularly, sport can be the most fantastic way of turning your life around. and if we're saying that he shouldn't compete, then you're holding sportspeople to different standards. and that is that is a conversation. yeah. well and you say i would because the olympics, as you just said earlier, these are people at the peak of their powers. >> they are representing their country king and country president country. they are on parade. they are supposed to be the finest and the best. and he is a rapist. he's a convicted rapist. the fact that the morning after, when she went to get a morning after pill, they said instantly, how old are you? they knew she was underage. he knew the moment he saw her. she wasn't. >> she. she told him he he knew that she was 16 and he was 19. >> and she she was 12. she's a child, bev at 12. she's a child. >> then then i mean, look, this situation is she is. but this situation is she is. but this situation is she is. but this situation is incredibly rare in that how often do former .or rapists , convicted rapists go on rapists, convicted rapists go on to represent their country at sport? there will be other people who have criminal records

who go on to represent their country at sport. maybe there's a conversation to be had in terms of the punitive system. if you commit a certain type of crime, what should you not be able to do represent your country at sport? maybe. what be in a band, be an actor? what are the jobs we're saying they can't do what is his job? >> and what happens if he gets a gold medal and they put him on the podium with the national anthem playing what is the what is the what is the crowd in the stadium going to do? cheer? clap warmly? a rapist? no. if he'd done his fifth look, you know in the law here, if the conviction is spent after a certain period of time, it is certainly not spent. when he was convicted in 2016, in eight years. i'm sorry. it's too soon. >> then that's then. i think that needs to be a different conversation about if you commit crime, should you be able to represent your country at sport? because otherwise, because there will be. this is his job. that's how you look at it. this is how he makes his money. that's like saying if you're an accountant and you rape someone, you can't ever then be an accountant. it's the same thing. it means that we're holding sportspeople up to

a different level of i am and i am because it's olympics. >> but also i said there should be a time period, but he's not that's not elapsed. he's on the, the sexual offenders register for a minimum of 15 years. this offence took place. not that many years ago. ten years ago. and i'm sorry if he wins a gold medal. imagine it. >> he's married now. he has a two year old. yeah, we don't know who the victim was. >> and we know how problematic this is for the olympic authorities. because he's not allowed to be an olympic village. he's being treated differently again, because he is different. because he's a rapist. i'm not sure. >> i don't i don't think he's. it's not that he's. is it that he's not allowed to stay in the village, not in the olympic village? it's probably decided. >> it's probably because they well, i think for public his own sake. >> yeah. because he'd be in the olympics. >> and of course, there have been protests and demonstrations. i mean, what do you think? i mean, it's an interesting point. i mean, i mean, and i do believe in the power of sport to rehabilitate, but i think this is too soon. and i wonder what the family of that 12 year old girl think. >> well, we don't know, do we? but it is a really interesting

talking point. i have to say, i, i feel that like i say, he should be allowed to compete. thatis should be allowed to compete. that is how it stands in the law. >> god help us if the rapist gets the gold right. >> chancellor rachel reeves will today deliver her first major speech in the role, and she'll confirm a £20 billion black hole in public spending. >> so how do you think the government is going to plug the gap, well, and also, before we talk to adam cherry, our gb news reporter, she is affecting surprise. oh she didn't know about this, even though we're talking to him later. and we're delighted. paul johnson from the institute of fiscal studies said both major political parties are in denial because there is a quote, and he used the figure £20 billion black hole. >> well, rachel reeves is talking this afternoon, so tell us how she's going to fix this problem. but let's talk now to gb news reporter adam cherry. good morning adam. what do we know about how rachel reeves wants to plug this gap ? wants to plug this gap? >> well, we're not expecting specific tax measures today .

specific tax measures today. instead, we'll get the first part of this equation, which is the spending side of things. so what we're going to hear today is some spending cuts or what they in political terms call efficiencies . so we'll see efficiencies. so we'll see a reduction in external consultants. there's a lot of those swimming around whitehall and in the civil service they'll be pared back some infrastructure spending, for example, the like the rail line for the hs2. all the way to euston, that's going to be shortened again, so that'll be pared back, things like that. so infrastructure. but that's all tinkering to be honest, the real pain and that's actually the purpose of today's statement is, is coming in the autumn when we'll see some serious tax rises on the likes of capital gains tax and inheritance tax. today it's just shifting the blame on the previous government whilst they still have enough goodwill and political capital from the election, to make these choices , election, to make these choices, so we'll hear when the, when the

budget will be announced. it will be sometime in the autumn . will be sometime in the autumn. and they'll set a date for that today, we will, of course, see some, public sector pay rises today. that is one, decision that will be made today. 5.5% above inflation for nhs workers and teachers. so, a lot to come. but really today is all about blaming the last guys for some painful decisions you're going to make in a few months time. >> all right, adam, that's adam chain of course we'll have more on that. and we are talking to pauljohnson on that. and we are talking to paul johnson from the institute of fiscal studies, who is the to be honest, he is the seer, the sage of all public finances to see whether labour are protesting too much about the scale of the £20 billion black hole. >> one of the things the chancellor said she might do is sell off some empty government buildings. that sounds quite sensible to me. yeah, but i've heard it all before. yeah. i'm sure. right. up next, find out where a radical muslim cleric plans to buy a small island in the uk to turn it into an islamic homeland for all believers. his quote this is

britain's newsroom on gb news. >> this is his private army

>> welcome back to britain's newsroom. it's 949 now. a controversial muslim cleric is raising funds to buy a remote scottish island and turn it into his own islamic state, where shana his own islamic state, where sharia law would be practised. >> so he's called sheikh yasser al—habib. he's already raised £3 million for the purchase. the owner of torsa, which is just off the west coast of scotland, says he won't sell it to him. but what if he offers a fatter pnce? >> quite well. joining us now is former labour mp khalid mahmood, a friend of the show . morning, a friend of the show. morning, khalid. thank you so much for joining us. right. give us a bit of background to this guy who is sheikh yasser al—habib . sheikh yasser al—habib. >> well, he's run away from kuwait . whereas originally born, kuwait. whereas originally born, and the kuwaiti authorities are still after him, and we gave him

asylum here in the uk. he's in beaconsfield, i believe. that's where he's stationed at the moment, where he has a huge following, and basically he's a sectarian, sort of scholar , if sectarian, sort of scholar, if he can call him that. but what he can call him that. but what he does generally, is creates a huge amount of division between the shia community, which purports to be of, against the majority of the sunni community, and the things that you should the photographs, the images that you're showing at the moment wouldn't be allowed for any other organisation in the uk. and i'm just surprised and shocked that they're still allowing this to continue. i've called for him, for his stations to be closed down over the last ten years. in the way that he divides just the muslim community alone itself, let alone the damage he will do to the uk. >> khalife just just in case people are listening on the radio, the images we can see is

what effectively looks like sheikh yasser al—habib private army. >> that's right. i mean, it's absolutely ridiculous that the authorities in the uk are allowing this, to happen, if that was any other, muslim organisation or a right wing organisation or a right wing organisation doing this, the police would have been there . police would have been there. ctu will be in there. the counter—terrorism unit, would be in there and this guy would be taken to task. yet i don't know why we just allowing this to continue, and i would certainly call on, the home office to get a grip of this and resolve this. >> and kelly, just before, if he is to buy this island. and the owner says at the moment he can't. but if the if the price is right, who knows? can he create a sharia law state on an island? is that permissible within british law? it's a scottish island. i know there's a scottish parliament, but, i'm sure that would be something that would come under the westminster parliament. can you explain how that could or couldn't work? >> well, it couldn't work. basically, you're still under

british law, as far as all of thatis british law, as far as all of that is concerned, and you just can't have an exclusive place in the uk where all other, communities are banned from. it says this is open to all muslims. but if you look at the rhetoric that he has to the majority muslim, shia community, across the world, it is totally derogatory. and in some times abusive, and so this guy has no interest, in allowing this open and transparent place to be set up here, to and have a military activity, on an island like this , activity, on an island like this, you don't know who's coming in. you don't know who's coming in. if he was to set up a small airstrip, what would go in? in one go? what would go on, it's absolutely ridiculous that we would even consider, allowing this whether the owner wants to sell it or not, >> just speculate for us, then, khalid, about the worst case scenario here. if this guy is able to raise funds, he's already raised £3 million. we don't know what the owner of the

island wants. if he does raise that money and he is allowed to act with a sort of impunity, which you're saying is he already does act with impunity in this country. what's the worst case scenario ? worst case scenario? >> well, the worst case scenario is that his private military set up already, he will then be able to move across, perhaps not in uniform with these people, and, and carry out whatever he feels, thatis and carry out whatever he feels, that is important to his organisation, and then we're going to have the police and the security services running around, trying to protect people from him, he has made his views very, very clear how opposed he is to the philosophy of the sunni community, and to be honest with you, serious people in the shia community don't recognise him either , so he's recognise him either, so he's just completely off the peg. and he just goes off, into these rants and we, you know, we should look at the way the people that we host in this country, and i'm really surprised that we still haven't taken any action on this. >> yeah. okay. khalid, lovely to

see you as usual. right. that's just extraordinary. >> why don't we give him asylum in this country in the first place? here we go again . place? here we go again. >> let us know your thoughts this morning. oh, it's nice to be back, isn't it ? lots to talk be back, isn't it? lots to talk about. still to come. reform. rempe. richard tice will give us his take on the violence at manchester airport. here's the weather. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . solar sponsors of weather on. gb. news >> hello there. good morning. welcome to your latest gb news, weather forecast, plenty of sunshine across much of the uk turning increasingly hot over the next couple of days , the next couple of days, particularly across england and wales. and you can see a cloudier start across parts of scotland . northern ireland first scotland. northern ireland first thing this morning a weak weather front is producing some rain across the far northwest, largely the western isles, but also fringing western coasts into the afternoon. but plenty of sunshine for the vast majority of the uk. perhaps an

hat into the ring. former business secretary kemi badenoch has become the sixth tory to join the race, promising to refocus the party on britain's sovereignty to and revive confidence in capitalism. she says it comes after suella braverman ruled herself out , braverman ruled herself out, saying there's little point in her standing because the party's branded her mad, bad and dangerous. her predecessor in the home office, priti patel, is also standing with the backing of devon and cornwall police and crime commissioner alison hernandez . hernandez. >> you take pretty anywhere people want to talk to her, they recognise her. she stands for something i think people believe in, which is that unity element. she is someone who is a no nonsense but absolute, compassionate, conservative and i think for me, we are supposed to be the party of law and order and someone who's got a real understanding of law and order should be someone who takes us to the next stage. >> one of the uk's top gps is warning today that planned strikes would bring the nhs to a

standstill. the british medical association's ballot of its members closes later. doctor katy bramwell steiner doesn't think, though there will be a full walkout, but suggests it could see gps stop doing some kinds of work that sits outside of their contract, which would have severe consequences. the government insists contingencies are being planned for every eventuality to keep patients safe . meanwhile, the high court safe. meanwhile, the high court is set to rule on the legality of the previous government's emergency ban on puberty blockers. the advocacy group trans actual and a young claimant challenged the order restricting the prescription of the medication, which suppresses the medication, which suppresses the natural production of sex hormones, to delay puberty. the ban was put in place by the now shadow, not now shadow health secretary victoria atkins and her labour successor wes streeting , said he was treading streeting, said he was treading cautiously amid lots of fear and anxiety. the department of health defends the ban , though, health defends the ban, though, and is calling for the case to be dismissed . global leaders are

operating normally. and finally, there's been an unexpected silver lining for visitors to paris after last week's travel chaos. tickets for the games in the french capital are now easier to get, and hotel prices have dropped amid all of the disruption. travel correspondent simon calder, from the independent told us this morning that his experience for the opening ceremony in paris was far from what he'd expected. >> it was great, but the hotel i stayed in, which was about half the price of what you'd normally expect to pay in the summer. they just said , paris is dead. they just said, paris is dead. we thought we were going to get extremely rich on this. in fact, we're , losing lots of money, and we're, losing lots of money, and it's a disaster. and that's borne out with lots and lots of people. well, they're driving taxis or running bars and restaurants. so great time to be a tourist. terrible time to be working in the tourism industry. there >> sadly, i'm working this week, so i would otherwise be going to france. those are the latest gb news headlines. for now i'm sam francis, more in half an hour

he was only convicted eight years ago. the conviction is not spent. spent means you the state gives so long and then after so long you're you're not exonerated. but the offence is wiped off your record. that offence is not wiped off his record. he committed the offence here. he raped a 12 year old girl three times in two days, knowing she was 12, because she told him and he was 19 again. he's a big just just clarify some of the facts is that she was with him. >> they met him online. she wanted to be in that physical relationship with him. this isn't somebody that pursued somebody down the road. >> you can't. she was 1212. >> you can't. she was 1212. >> you can't consent i agree, i agree. it's despicable. and he has served his time and therefore we have to within the rules of the law, give people the opportunity to start their lives again when they have done something wrong as a teenager, which is what he was. >> you can do that. but not in

the full glare of the olympic of the full glare of the olympic of the olympic flame. then that is all about sporting perfection. >> then that's a different conversation to have. but i think, you know, you either say that he is a despicable example. he is or he is somebody who has turned his life around, who is now married with a child, and he's representing his country at sport. i wish there were more young men that got involved in sport. we wouldn't have so much crime if more young men got involved in sport. i'm looking to see your messages here. there's a lot of you also getting in touch, here we go, steve says. andrew, not wanting to defend the dutch person convicted of rape in the uk. but does this person show up in any other non uk databases? the dutch law and perspective different to the uk? are we going to police athletes from all countries, especially those who arranged marriages with 12 year olds, may be commonplace. >> he he raped a british girl in britain. he did over two days, three times. and so the british rule my law in my view should apply, which means his conviction is not spent. so therefore, why is the dutch want to select him? fine. but there's

an international olympic committee which say terribly sorry, we're not having rapists who convicted a serious rape in britain only so many years ago performing in the olympic games. sorry. no come back when your conviction is spent. which is about another five. >> see lisa saying he should never be allowed to represent his country. i really don't know how your brain is thinking on this subject. if this is your daughter, i'm very sure you would. you wouldn't be saying what you have. it's not that's that's not truly so. because i also have a son. and so i can see this from both points of view, i'm not saying that he wasn't guilty. he was clearly found guilty. he clearly served 13 months in a prison, 13 months. >> wasn't long of a four year sentence either. >> we don't know the we don't know the detail. >> we sent him back to holland. look, let's kick out more foreign prisoners. i'll kick them all out while we're able to do that. there's 11,000 of them, and that sorts out the prison crisis. but he went back to holland. did they put him in jail? no, not in holland. with her. >> he did. he did. a month in. he did a month in holland.

>> wow. >> wow. >> well, that's okay, because it meant that we weren't paying for him for that month. i'm okay with that. as well. by all means. he did 12 months here. they ten months in prison for rape and he did a month there, 13 months in prison for raping someone that he'd met online and had a consensual. even though you can't consent at 12 years old, i understand that it was wrong. >> he was 12. >> he was 12. >> of course it was. >> but this isn't 15.5, >> of course it was. >> but this isn't15.5, but >> of course it was. >> but this isn't 15.5, but the >> but this isn't15.5, but the law has dealt with that. >> my point is, the law has deau >> my point is, the law has dealt with that, and therefore he is free to turn his life around ten years later. and that's what he's done. he's married, he has a child. and who knows what he will do. i don't think he's going to go on and win, actually, i'd rather this than wouldn't it be coming out and re—offending? >> it would be. imagine the embarrassment. just hypothesised they win the gold medal. princess anne is out there as a representative of the british olympic committee, and she has to give the prize she'd refuse. >> but that means that she would have to refuse to give a prize to anyone who was a former criminal, senior member of the british royal family. >> she will have to give up that olympic gold to a convicted rapist. >> she will have 12 year old girl. >> i can promise you. she will have given medals over the last 50 years to people who have

committed crimes. she'd have to. >> she will have done peg on her nose and a blindfold. >> right. let's move on. chancellor. rachel reeves is set to accuse rishi sunaks government of a cover up over the dire state of the public finances, when she sets out labour's spending inheritance this afternoon to plug the gap. >> the £20 billion black hole she's expected to announce some painful cuts, spending cuts. but are the tories really to blame? >> so joining us now is gb news reporter adam cherry. good morning adam of course, rachel reeves will tell us that the tories are to blame this afternoon, won't she? >> oh, yeah. absolutely. >> oh, yeah. absolutely. >> this is the entire purpose of this statement. we're only three weeks into this government, so they have a little bit of time, a little bit of political capital to spend by saying, look, there are some serious problems here, but they're not our fault. we've only been here ten minutes. they're the fault of the previous lot. so that's the entire purpose of this. now, we're not going to see tax rises today specifically . that will be today specifically. that will be for the autumn statement. the budget, which will be announced

today. we'll have a date for it today. we'll have a date for it today. but things like raises of inheritance tax capital gains, those are expected later today. what we will we will see is some spending cuts on infrastructure projects like parts of hs2 and other rail and road projects and things like government efficiency, which you hear often when tough decisions have to be made. it means it means cuts where they can get away with it as quickly as possible. you will also see a 5.5% pay rise for pubuc also see a 5.5% pay rise for public sector workers . so they public sector workers. so they are opening the wallet in some places. but yeah, as as you say, this really is about pretending to be shocked by the numbers and pointing the blame elsewhere before the real tough decisions. tough cuts and tax rises come in the autumn. >> okay, thanks. so much. right. let's bring in conservative mp for mid buckinghamshire greg smith now. good morning greg.

>> morning greg. good morning. >> morning greg. good morning. >> do you feel like do you feel like a rare species. >> well look there's only 121 of us left . but that's 121 us left. but that's 121 conservatives who are going to professionally scrutinise this government and call out where they get it wrong. but as you said, actually slightly earlier in the programme, we do wish them well. we want them to succeed. we don't want the country to crash and burn under their, government. but there's a serious job of opposition to do , serious job of opposition to do, and we're going to do it on the on the budget . on the budget. >> greg, we there's no surprises there to you , to me, to most there to you, to me, to most people, we know that there was a black hole because the institute for fiscal studies, an independent body, said so before the election. it accused both front benches of being in denial, selling the electorate short. so even though rachel reeves in my view, is going to be exaggerated, he says, i had no idea. i had no idea. when she affects shock and horror, the fact is the tories probably did

leave a great gaping hole. even though we even though the institute for fiscal studies had identified it. >> yeah, the ifs had made some comments like that, but actually i'm not sure rachel reeves is going to be able to get away with simply saying, oh, we couldn't didn't see this coming. we had no idea because actually, she herself said in the financial times not that long ago that she was going to be the first chancellor that couldn't hide behind, saying, we didn't know it was this bad. when she got in because of the obr, because of the open book accounting that goes on in the treasury right now, i'm sure she's going to point to 1 or 2 areas where she can say this, that or the other. but the reality is with the open book we've got now with the obr, the way they publish their reports, it's just impossible to say. we don't know what the state of the pubuc don't know what the state of the public finances are. and what we do know from other stats is that compared to most other comparative countries, certainly within the g7, whilst it's

modest, we do have the fastest growth of all of those, >> greg, let's talk about tory leadership battle. if we can get you to wade into that, if you wouldn't mind, is the timing right for this? andrew and i were discussing earlier whether you should just let the dust settle on events for another few months before triggering this fight. >> well, we are in the timetable that we've got now. actually, it is taking many more months than a normal conservative leadership election would take, and i'd argue that the first step of our road to recovery is that period of reflection. it is that timescale that we need to to take internalise the kicking we've just had at the ballot box, but also to get on with the process of healing and coming up with a programme that hopefully can excite the british public about the conservatives again when the next general election comes. i point back, actually, just a few years ago , when keir just a few years ago, when keir starmer took over the leadership

of the labour party, it probably took him two, two and a half years to earn the right to be heard again. and so if we don't get on with it, if we don't get a new leader in place by november and i accept the point about how close that date is to the us presidential election, then we're not starting. we're not starting that that healing process that could take years before the british public are ready to listen to us again. >> well, there are six candidates declared so far, greg, unless you're throwing your hat in the ring, maybe it stays at six. okay. have you made your mind up yet? who you're supporting? >> yeah, i'm supporting priti patel. she's someone who i've known a very long time. i think she's got the right mix of experience in government. actually, of those that are left, one of the few of us that's actually got experience of opposition , having been in of opposition, having been in william hague's core team back in 1997. the last time we had a crushing defeat at the ballot box, she gets opposition as much as she gets government, and she's got an appeal across all

wings of the conservative party because there's one thing that we've got to do before we can do anything else, and that is unite as a conservative party. the number of people on the doorsteps in my constituency dunng doorsteps in my constituency during that general election campaign who said, we're sick to death of the infighting, we're sick to death of the factions within the conservative party. and to me, that signals the first thing we've got to do is come together . and pretty has come together. and pretty has that support from all wings of the conservative party. >> who do you think would be a close second place to her? greg >> well, look, we've got all manner of colleagues in this race. i'm not going to off any of them or attack any of them. they're all colleagues here in the house of commons. but you know , i suspect people like tom know, i suspect people like tom tugendhat, i suspect people like james cleverly will poll very well in this election. but i'm out there making the positive case for priti patel and why i think she is the best placed of all my colleagues in this race

to unite us and to re—establish us as a relevant political brand again ahead of the next general election . election. >> what sort of chance does kemi badenoch have ? badenoch have? >> well, everybody's got a chance and actually , let's have chance and actually, let's have a look at the way this election has been set up. the mps aren't even going to have a say until september. so we've got the whole summer for candidates to set out their pitch across the country, to go round the whole of the united kingdom, go into conservative associations, meeting members, being tested before mps even cast the first ballot to start whittling the list down in september. and even then, we're only taking it down to four who will be tested again at the conservative party conference in birmingham in october. so this is actually an election where the membership of the conservative party is more relevant than ever before, and where candidates are going to be fully tested by you guys in the media, as well as by our own members before a single ballot is cast. to even start whittling

the list down. okay, to a smaller shortlist. >> all right greg, thank you. mp for mid box there greg smith i nearly said to him if you could put a bet on. and then i realised that would be deeply inappropriate. >> tories i'm betting not a good idea . idea. >> right. up next, when did you last used your landline? i bet you've got one. i have, but you've got one. i have, but you've got one that's still you turn it like that, don't you? >> and it has got a dial. >> and it has got a dial. >> it's got a dial. >> it's got a dial. >> it's got a dial. >> it's not buttons. >> it's not buttons. >> no, i like it. i like landline. >> but listen, find out in just a minute how few homes have them in britain. don't go anywhere

welcome back. it is 1023. we are very happy to be here from our holidays. we're so happy to be back. and we've got emma woolf and labour party adviser matthew laza former with us in. >> so they didn't come ? not on >> so they didn't come? not on holiday. yes. >> the labour party, they have a

former advisory job. >> yeah. they, they were sort of vague talk but it never, never quite happened because i didn't want to leave you to monday mornings wouldn't be the same. >> gb news keeps you very busy. >> gb news keeps you very busy. >> it does. so are you very offended? >> no. >> no. >> right. let's talk about land lines. not emma. yeah. do you have a landline? because now only 47% of homes have them because although i was surprised it was that high. >> okay, so a decade ago, it was 84% and a year ago it was 54%. so this is dropping like a stone . so this is dropping like a stone. people are just not bothering with landlines. but until recently you had to still have your landline. i think the reason i have a landline somewhere, i have a box on the wall somewhere. got it. because i because you needed it for broadband. >> that's why i've got mine now. >> that's why i've got mine now. >> you don't need it for broadband. i think bt have said you can have it. you can do it remotely. right. so it's mostly the over 65 who have landlines. still have you ever tried ringing your parents on a landline. so you can you can keep your landline like we have one, as you say, that gives us our broadband, but i don't have

a handset for it. >> so the wiring is there, but i can't. and i miss a landline. >> so the wiring is there, but i can't. and i miss a landline . do can't. and i miss a landline. do you?i can't. and i miss a landline. do you? i miss the clarity, the sitting down and just. >> yeah, i've got one on my desk in the study. yeah and it's used very occasionally. yeah it's, it's normally when you want a really private conversation where you're not going to have the mobile going wrong or the i think that's the thing. >> and i think with our phones, we wander around, you'll be standing in the garden, you'll be you'll be doing other things. you're loading the dishwasher or something. >> you're not concentrating on the call landlines. >> you are just attached to the phone. you're sitting in the armchair. you make a cup of tea. something like that. yeah, exactly. and do you remember, you know, landlines when you made a call, when you had to ask your mum and dad to use the phone, and you wait until 6:00, make a call and then you can make a call and then you can make maybe one phone, you know, you actually had to pay for phone calls and family when you had to pick your ten favourite numbers. >> yeah, yeah, you get to ten. >> yeah, yeah, you get to ten. >> matthew. >> matthew. >> yeah. oh, yeah. oh can i say, can i tell our viewers this all because my, i supply glasses cleaner to the team when i come on set and i left andrew out

this morning. >> and me, he doesn't even wear glasses. >> doesn't even wear glasses. >> doesn't even wear glasses. >> he's still in competition that he didn't get a glass of clean. matthew. he doesn't even wear glasses. >> anyway, i used to clean my computer, but i think there is something quite. >> there is something that we're losing though. with this. we are . losing though. with this. we are. >> and i feel it's similar to privacy because my point as a teenager, if i wanted to make a call to my friend, to i had pull the wire in. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. whereas kids now have absolute privacy to take that. >> that's huge thing . i remember >> that's huge thing. i remember going in the kind of hallway where there was another point you could unplug the phone, put it in there and close the door as though you couldn't hear, be heard through the glass? >> no, but my brothers and sisters would pick up the extension and you'd suddenly hear a snort of laughter, and you'd know they were if you had. no, i wasn't extension. i didn't have an extension. i said you'd pull it. >> we have one on the phone. >> we have one on the phone. >> they all had extension. i didn't have an extension. you'd have to pull the whirly. whirly? think if you try and explain to children. now why we had phones attached to the wall. it's very hard to explain to them. this is making. why? why would you do that? >> why? this is bringing out my

inner rebel, though. i want to go home and buy a handset, a handset that i can make a landline call. >> but bev, more seriously, i think it's to get rid of it. >> exactly. >> exactly. >> i think it's cutting people out. it's a bit like cash, you know, a lot of older people can't do the internet, a lot of older people can't pay online. and the death of landlines is cutting older people out of our kind of societies. it's making them more isolated. >> a really important part of the world wouldn't go near a telephone box now. well, because they're absolutely if they exist, they are either used for people urinating in. >> yeah, or for drug dealing. i mean, i don't know what phone boxes are. >> we've been discussing this this morning. andrew and i feel quite differently about this. this is about this dutch olympic volleyball player, matt, who has was convicted of raping a child. she was 12. he was 19. ten years ago. he served his time. should he be allowed to play? >> i think no. i agree with andrew on this. i mean, i'll tell you what. no, it's not as rare as you might think. you know, some bipartisanship, i think what's particularly upset

a lot of people is, is that, you know, we've seen all the outrage over the drag queens and the last supper. yet, you know, which which for which the ioc is now deleted. the footage from apparently from its official website. yeah, apparently it's been deleted. it's now been disappeared. >> it's this apologised. >> it's this apologised. >> and yet you've got a child rapist appearing to represent a european country. so, i think the sort of handling of the two in the world's outrage about the two are, you know, justifiably wrong had been spent. >> it hasn't because he was only sentenced in 2016. he's got years to go. >> i felt like you guys and i read it very early this morning in the mail and i thought, oh, this is an outrage. and there's poor bob ballard, you know, the commentator who made a joke. and it's actually a funny joke. it's a funny bob ballard. >> he's a nice, lovely bloke. >> he's a nice, lovely bloke. >> it's a funny joke. i have not met a single woman who is offended by this. >> just remind people what he said. >> what he said was, oh, the australian swimming team are late. they're probably putting on their makeup. you know what? women are like, you know, which is funny. he was joking. it is. it's not even. and there are

people literally there is a couple of female commentators saying this is outrageous, and he's been sent home. he's been sent home, he's been sacked, people are being cancelled for opening their mouth. >> and he's been commentating a swimming for decades. he's so good. he used to work for the bbc. >> so when you juxtapose that with the fact that you've got this dutch guy who is an actual has an actual conviction for child rape, i'm not going to use the term that you use, because i think that's a bit strong. child rapist. but what is a child? but when you put them together, it seems so. we seem so out of whack. she was 12, i know, but then having listened to bev's monologue this morning, i sort of i sort of agree with her, but that people need 12. >> she was 19, i know child, she's a child. >> he was a few years older than her. >> he was a few years older than hen he >> he was a few years older than her. he has. he's now grown up like he would be able to do carry on with his job in any other walk of life. and it's really hard when you make a mistake and you are never allowed. >> well, you wouldn't be allowed to work, be forgiven, you wouldn't be allowed to work in a school, etcetera. i mean, you wouldn't get past the vetting. >> he's at the olympics in a school. he's at the olympics.

>> he could be. he's having to be a lawyer. he could be an accountant. >> but the other two things are he's not allowed to stay in the olympic village. >> no, that's not true. it's not that he's not allowed to stay there. they've decided not to put him in. >> but he didn't appear at the press conference, which is a condition which is a condition of appearing at the olympics, is you have to go to the press conference. >> one thing's for sure. this must be a deeply uncomfortable experience for him. he's away from the other athletes. he's been. he's got his spotlight. he's old. i know. i think that was what turned his life around. >> he has turned his life around. >> the fact that he's married and has a child now. and i'm not saying that child molesters don't do that, but it just feels as though he's still a young man. he's 29 years old. he did something appalling, he admits at the age of 19, admit that the team are not making apologies. and also 12 year old. i know it's really hard to because i know 12 year olds who who are sassy and act like they're 16 year old girls, she told him. he did know. he did know her age. >> she told him he was 16 when he flew over to see her. >> i know i'm 50 over 50 on this. i assume that he'd done it

as a grown adult, as a grown man, and he'd groomed her. i don't think that's quite the case. >> he was 19, nearly 20. yeah it was wrong. when she went to get the morning after pill the next day, they said straightaway, how old are you? they could see instantly she was a child. yeah, but ten years ago, they did say that to you when you went to get the morning after pill. >> i don't know if i, if i was judged for everything i did between the age of 12 and 19, i'd probably be in prison or something serious. rape is different, i know. of course it is. was it was it nonconsensual? well, it's irrelevant. the double standards. >> because he was convicted. he was convicted in a british court. yeah it's a deeply unpleasant crime for which he was convicted, for which he has served a sentence. but it's whether it's appropriate to serve at the olympics at a time when the whole outrage was about a, you know, admittedly rather naff, you know, part of the opening ceremony, they spent four days together in this country when she was 12 and he was 19, which is a bit different to the way it was portrayed to me, was that he groomed her, flew over to milton keynes and raped her, whereas actually it sounds more like an inappropriate very inappropriate houday inappropriate very inappropriate holiday romance thing , which he holiday romance thing, which he should not have done. >> no. >> no.

>> anyway, on the whole, the olympics is amazing. can we all agree we shouldn't be the olympics are. >> but the ceremony was awful. >> but the ceremony was awful. >> adam peaty was amazing last night. is it still going on today? >> lots more to talk about between now and midday. first though, here's sam who's waiting with the . news. with the. news. >> for good morning to you. it's just after 10:30. the top story today. spending cuts are expected to be announced by the government later in an effort to plug government later in an effort to plug a £20 billion black hole in pubuc plug a £20 billion black hole in public finances , rachel reeves public finances, rachel reeves will scrap some road and rail projects and cut public sector waste, among other measures, to rein in spending. she'll also and accuse the conservatives of covering up the true scale of britain's economic difficulties when she addresses parliament later. but the tories say she's trying to calm the british pubuc trying to calm the british public so she can raise taxes. no tax rises are expected to be announced today, though, but it is understood the chancellor will ask the office for budget responsibility to carry out a full assessment of the public

purse . those hoping to lead the purse. those hoping to lead the conservative party have, until this afternoon to throw their hat into the ring. former business secretary kemi badenoch became the sixth tory to join the race at the weekend, promising she says, to refocus the party on britain's sovereignty and revive confidence in capitalism. it comes after suella braverman ruled herself out, saying there's little point in her being her standing because the party's branded her mad, bad and dangerous. her predecessor in the home office, priti patel, is also standing along with mel stride tom tugendhat , james stride tom tugendhat, james cleverly and robert jenrick in france. we now know the first arrest has been made following a series of attacks on the rail network. local trains and eurostar services were disrupted all weekend after signal boxes were set on fire in what's described as a coordinated sabotage. but there's been an unexpected silver lining for visitors to paris after last week's travel chaos, with tickets for the games now easier

to get and hotel prices dropping amid the disruption and staying with the olympics, a commentator at the paris games has been sacked after making alleged sexist comments about a female swimmer following an australia gold medal win in the pool. bob ballard, who was working for eurosport , said you know what eurosport, said you know what women are like hanging around doing their make up. his fellow presenter lizzie simmons immediately called his remark outrageous and he's been removed from the line up and back here at home. yellow heat health warnings have been issued across most of england. temperatures are expected to reach 30 degrees in the south—east and in london. the uk's health security agency says the hot weather may have significant impacts on the nhs and social care sector. significant impacts on the nhs and social care sector . those and social care sector. those are the latest headlines. for now i'm sam francis. you're next update at 11:00 for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone , sign up to news

want, particularly, is we can't what what they're looking at here is the gp contract, and they're saying it's not fit for purpose, and i think a lot of the, the primary care contracts are not fit for purpose. and what we really need is some joined up thinking when it comes to healthcare. so what i'm worried about with this is people are effectively there's going to be fewer appointments available. is one of the options. available. is one of the opfions.so available. is one of the options. so they're looking at nine forms of protest. and one of those is reducing the number of those is reducing the number of appointments available. and that will mean that some people will therefore have to go to one, one, one to out of hours, and they'll end up coming to the pharmacy as well. so that's where i'm worried about it. i think, you know, we've got to think, you know, we've got to think about where are people going to go if they, there is a reduction in the number of appointments. >> so just to be clear, they're not it's not about their own pay because they're on about 153, £154,000 a year on average. these gps, it is the money they get to run their service. so perhaps what they pay their receptionist, how they run the

surgery. and i know the pharmacy. your world in pharmacy you also have an issue with the government about the money you're being provided for drugs. is it all part of the same problem ? problem? >> yes, i think this is a lack of joined up thinking when it comes to healthcare, because we keep saying to everyone, you need to, we need to stay well for longer. we need to look after ourselves. we need to almost avoid going to see our gp, don't we? because we need to do as much as we can to stay well, and therefore we need to make sure that the funding is there so that when we need to see our healthcare professionals, you know, we want to be going into well maintained buildings, don't we? we want to make sure that we've got what we need to do our jobs. but really, i don't think any healthcare professional wants to, do take part in any sort of protest or strike action and this is, very much a sort of reduction in the maybe the level of care provided in terms of appointment availability in terms of, there

are some restrictions as to what gps are allowed to prescribe, for example. so one of the proposed action is, is that they're going to throw that out they're going to throw that out the window and prescribe what they want to prescribe for that patient. so we could see some benefits for patients, in fact, with this. but i mean, i don't think anyone wants to have to do this. and there is actually going to be some more protests from pharmacies actually coming up in september. so people are going to be sounding the alarms in their pharmacies because they're concerned about the levels of funding, so i'm concerned generally for patients because nobody wants to be going into an environment where your healthcare professionals are saying, we need more money to do what we're doing. but also, i don't think it's just about money. we've got to think about the it systems, how things work. i mean, even myself with the it outage last week was an absolute nightmare. just trying to navigate the system. so i really feel for patients who are also having to navigate the healthcare system, which is sometimes just a bit too complex, and it doesn't always

have the common sense that it should do. >> just explain to us what you mean , the microsoft meltdown, mean, the microsoft meltdown, and is that what you mean? and what was the effect for you then practically, what happened ? practically, what happened? >> well, i don't really go and see my gp. i don't get a prescription that often, but i was unable, as you know, as a practising pharmacist, i was unable to get my prescription last week, which actually made me much more unwell than i needed to be, and i got passed from pillar to post round 111. and as you can imagine, i. i knew what i needed, i knew where ineeded knew what i needed, i knew where i needed to go, and that outage obviously meant that my electronic prescription couldn't go across to my, to, to the pharmacy. so i think people don't all what's frustrating to me is i was seeing touch points in in how i was acting, accessing healthcare, which should have been much more , should have been much more, should have been much more, should have been done differently. and i've raised that because i think it's important that we all try and improve the service in whichever way we can, but it's just it is frustrating for patients and, and i don't think i mean, i was

looking back, actually, you'll remember that footage with tony blair, with someone talking about appointment, how long for an appointment and things like that. i don't think we're anywhere near where we would like to be in terms of, access to appointments. but also it's about recognising that primary care and health care isn't just about the gp. there's lots of people in the gp surgeries who make wonderful things happen for patients. but also, you know, in terms of the community as well, there's people like the pharmacists who are there as well. >> okay. thank you so much, commentator and pharmacist, thonn commentator and pharmacist, thorin govind there. >> i'm baffled by this. the british medical association is frankly wicked . just the week frankly wicked. just the week before the general election, they went on strike. junior doctors, knowing there was absolutely no prospect whatsoever that the outgoing government, we all knew they were going to lose . we're going were going to lose. we're going to say, fine, we've not paid them extra money. we've not given the 30% pay, so we'll do it now. so what they did for that week was cause chaos, more operations, more routine

treatment cancelled. wicked of them to do that. and overtly political, designed to embarrass the tories. now here we have this. this ballot has been going on with bma and gp since june the 17th. why didn't they wait to ballot members? and when we get a new government in and give the new government the chance to said earlier, look , i wish this said earlier, look, i wish this government the very best. i want them to get things sorted out a lot need sorting and yet they could be going on strike. the industrial action as early as tomorrow. what would basically moving towards now is very much a country in which those who can afford private healthcare are being treated, and those who can't end up going to a&e for the slightest thing because they just can't see a gp. >> they need to this this government needs to do something pretty radical. i do think right up next, we're going to get some clarity on this £20 billion black hole in our finances and how we're going to pay for it. this is britain's newsroom live across the uk on gb news

>> 1049 britain's newsroom on gb news now. >> chancellor rachel reeves is set to accuse rishi sunaks government of a cover up over the dire state of public finances. >> are the tories really to blame for the whopping £20 billion black hole? well, they clearly are. but should labour have known about it already? let's talk to the director of the institute for fiscal studies, paul johnson. paul johnson, you are seen as the seen johnson, you are seen as the seer, the wise man. if you like, the man with. no. you've got no skin in this fight. i clearly remember you saying in the before the election, i think this was back in march. government and opposition are joining in a conspiracy of silence in not acknowledging the scale of the choices and trade offs that will face us after the election. i think she doth protest too much , doesn't she, protest too much, doesn't she, the chancellor? she pretty much knew it was going to be a £20 billion black hole. >> to a large extent, yes. >> to a large extent, yes. >> i from my understanding,

though, is that i think there is actually some additional problems here from those that we identified beforehand, because what we were talking about, particularly were the challenges after this year. >> i think what rachel reeves is going to be referring to are the challenges from this year. now, some of those were certainly predictable and indeed predicted. so the higher public sector pay awards, for example, it was only ever funded for 1 sector pay awards, for example, it was only ever funded for1 or it was only ever funded for 1 or 2% increases. that was never plausible. what was going to happen. so we knew that that was going to be a challenge. there seem to be some other challenges around the cost of asylum seekers, which have not been properly funded. so i think it's fair for rachel reeves to say the problem is bigger than she expected , but i don't think it's expected, but i don't think it's fair to say that she didn't expect a pretty big problem. >> and she they've made it pretty clear that there will be no additional taxes on what they call working people if they put capital gains tax up or in october, november, to cover this so—called black hole. does that count as working people?

>> well, i think that depends on your definition. but clearly some working people pay capital gains tax, but the after he made that announcement in their manifesto, you did see a number of labour ministers coming out explaining that by working people, they meant people on relatively low earnings rather than higher earning working people. i can't think of a tax any tax, which is not in some way paid by working people. so i think we have to take that with something of a pinch of salt. >> and paul, your statement that you wrote before the election was not only insightful and incredibly knowledgeable, but it was written with a sort of beautiful, dry honesty, if you don't mind me saying that. and now that we've got through the election and you're seeing how things are unravelling, you're saying in that the choices in front of us are hard high taxes, high debt, struggling public services, pressures from health, defence, welfare, ageing will not make them easier. that is not make them easier. that is not a reason to hide the choices

or to dock them. quite the reverse. what do you see? rachel reeves now being able to dock ? reeves now being able to dock? >> well, i mean she can't duck them. and i think part of the problem is that the last government did, in the end, duck a lot of these issues. i mean, the £20 billion cut in national insurance that we saw over the last couple of budgets was not manageable or affordable unless the then chancellor had said how he was going to pay for it, which he didn't effectively do . which he didn't effectively do. rachel reeves is now going to have to well, she's not going to do this today, but in the budget in the autumn, she's going to have to decide is she going to accept higher borrowing than are currently forecast, or is she going to increase taxes? i can't see her, a reducing spending below its current level. so that's going to be a really tough choice, particularly not given not only did the labour manifesto said no higher taxes on working people, they ruled out a whole swathe of taxes on corporation tax, income tax, national insurance contributions ,

national insurance contributions, vat, which doesn't leave an awful lot of choices about where you can find that additional revenue . revenue. >> i talked to labour campaigners, labour mps during the election campaign, paul, and they were alarmed that they said she's unnecessarily boxing the next government in. we all knew they were going to form the next government. we knew they were going to pretty have a huge majority and it's the biggest since 1997. have you ever known a chancellor going into a general, going into number 11, who has boxed himself in quite so much ? so much? >> well, it's become an increasing trend in recent elections for both main parties to go into the elections , ruling to go into the elections, ruling out all sorts of tax increases . out all sorts of tax increases. and it was clearly, to some extent part of the, part of the tactics of the conservatives who ruled out even more tax increases, i think is a way of prodding labour into ruling out their own, increases . so they their own, increases. so they are they are certainly very much boxed in by their own promises, but that's something they're going to have to make a

political as much as an economic judgement about as to whether those really will have to hold or whether, because the circumstances do look so bad, they're going to have to undo some of those pledges. >> okay. thank you so much, paul >> okay. thank you so much, paul. that is the paul jon savell, director for the institute of fiscal studies. a very wise man. i'd love to have him. >> he certainly is back on, we're going to go to the weather how. >> now. >> see you in a minute. >> see you in a minute. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on gb news >> hello there. good morning. welcome to your latest gb news, weather forecast, plenty of sunshine across much of the uk turning increasingly hot over the next couple of days , the next couple of days, particularly across england and wales. and you can see a cloudier start across parts of scotland . northern ireland first scotland. northern ireland first thing this morning a weak weather front is producing some rain across the far northwest, largely the western isles, but also fringing western coasts into the afternoon. but plenty of sunshine for the vast

moment. >> so interesting that police footage. how we got to see the bit of the police officer kicking the perpetrator in the head. and then it was only a few days later that we got to see the actual action that led to that violence. >> and it seems there were a series of events that led which were the trigger . and people were the trigger. and people have got very strong views on this . the have got very strong views on this. the mayor of have got very strong views on this . the mayor of greater this. the mayor of greater manchester rather sat on the fence . andy burnham i thought by fence. andy burnham i thought by saying on the one hand, on the other hand, but he said it was a very serious issue. >> he has to reinstate that police officer is what i say. i mean, it's i know it's controversial. in my opinion. he did lose his cool, no doubt about it. but i'm not surprised. it was a very highly charged, violent altercation. >> he watched two. >> he watched two. >> he watched him deck two women police officers. >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> one of whom sustained a broken nose. >> she did let us know your thoughts this morning. gbnews.com/yoursay. first, though, here's sam with the .

sovereignty and to revive confidence in capitalism. and that comes after suella braverman has ruled herself out of the race, saying there's little point in her standing because the party has branded her, in her words, mad, bad and dangerous. her predecessor in the home office, priti patel, is also standing and she's got the backing of devon and cornwall police and crime commissioner alison hernandez. >> you take pretty anywhere people want to talk to her, they recognise her. she stands for something i think people believe in, which is that unity element. she is someone who is a no nonsense but absolute compassionate conservative. and i think for me, we are supposed to be the party of law and order and someone who's got a real understanding of law and order should be someone who takes us to the next stage . to the next stage. >> one of the uk's top gps is warning that planned strikes would bring the nhs to a standstill. the british medical association's ballot of its members closes later. doctor katy bramwell says it could see

gps stop doing some kinds of work that sits outside of their contract, which would have severe consequences on the health service. the government, though, insists contingencies are being planned for every eventuality to keep patients safe . just stop oil protesters safe. just stop oil protesters have this morning used suitcases with lock on devices to block departure gates at gatwick airport. the activists, eight of them so far, were arrested a short time ago after entering the south terminal and sitting in front of the security scanners. the group says it's taking what it calls the proportionate action necessary as part of its summer disruption plans to generate the political pressure it says is needed to stop the use of fossil fuels. well, gatwick says the terminals remain open and are operating normally . global leaders are normally. global leaders are urging israel not to escalate tensions with lebanon after a rocket strike killed 12 children on a football field in golan heights. israel and the us have blamed hezbollah for the deaths,

claiming the weapon was launched from a part of the region that the militant group control the iranian backed group, though, has denied it was responsible. meanwhile, lebanon's foreign minister has condemned the strike but says it shouldn't give israel a license to kill. here, the high court is set to rule on the legality of the previous government's emergency ban on puberty blockers. the advocacy group trans actual and advocacy group trans actual and a young claimant challenged the order restricting the prescription of the medication , prescription of the medication, which suppresses the natural production of sex hormones , to production of sex hormones, to delay puberty. the ban was put in place by the now shadow health secretary, victoria atkins . her labour successor, atkins. her labour successor, wes streeting, said he was treading cautiously amid lots of fear and anxiety on both sides of the political spectrum . the of the political spectrum. the department of health defends the ban, though, and is calling for the case to be dismissed. and in france, the first arrest has now been made following a series of attacks on the rail network, local trains and eurostar services were disrupted all weekend after signal boxes were

set on fire in what's described as coordinated sabotage. there was speculation that russia was responsible. however, in the last few minutes the kremlin have said that was fake news. but there's been an unexpected silver lining for visitors to paris after last week's travel chaos , with tickets for the chaos, with tickets for the games now easier to get and hotel prices dropping amid the disruption, travel correspondent simon calder from the independent shared this morning with us that his experience in paris for the opening ceremony was far from what he'd expected . was far from what he'd expected. >> it was great, but the hotel i stayed in, which was about half the price of what you'd normally expect to pay in the summer. they just said, paris is dead. we thought we were going to get extremely rich on this. in fact, we're losing lots of money and it's a disaster. and that's borne out with lots and lots of people. well, they're driving taxis or running bars and restaurants. so great time to be a tourist. terrible time to be working in the tourism industry.

think for kids, it genuinely is. i was watching yesterday at my mum's house with my 12 year old and with the other little nieces, and they watched the gymnastics. now a couple of them do a bit of sort of amateur gymnastics, and so then they went out into the garden and they created a gymnastics arena. all of their own. they want to be simone biles, they want to be simone. yeah, maybe not. but but they want to be same biles. they want to be. yeah. you know and oh look, there they are. if you can see the picture. that's my mom's garden and the kids and they set up a little judges table and they put a piece of four by two as a beam. so they were walking along the beam and they wouldn't have done that if they wouldn't have done that if they hadn't been watching sport on tv. >> so who was the judge? >> so who was the judge? >> more of that, you know, that was objective then. that was one of the cousins there. so, if your kids are at home and they're enjoying the olympics as well, do send us your pictures of them out in the garden. >> now, change of tone. the manchester airport attack last week, it's causing huge comment, isn't it? they were protesters taking to the streets of rochdale and manchester city centre over the weekend. >> that's right. this video of course, has been watched millions of times now. it shows police officers were attacked

before they retaliated by kicking and stomping on one of the brothers. >> since then, the brothers family has expressed their concern for the officers, with their lawyer apparently also rolling back on claims they were deliberately targeted. >> so joining us now is deputy leader of reform uk at richard tice and mp. >> mp thank you very much. thank you. yes. yeah i haven't quite got used to that. >> remind me your name of your constituency. >> don't be so rude. boston and skegness. and i tell you what, people have heard more about boston and skegness in the last three weeks than they have in the previous nine years. >> the tory, the vanquished tory at a reception a few weeks ago and i said history, mate, history. that's the biggest tory majority to ever go down, ever overturned. >> that's right. enjoying it? i am actually, yes, i'm loving it. getting to grips with all the sort of the procedures, getting a big part of your life really is the parliamentary procedure book. erskine who? >> being rude. >> being rude. >> i'm not being rude. that is a book of parliament procedures. >> i've just got to find my way around at the moment because i mean, it's an absolute warren, but we're getting stuck in. did

my maiden speech last week. were you nervous? and. yeah. it's good to be nervous, actually. it's good to be nervous, but i did it without notes, and i told it the good, the bad and the ugly. there's some great things going on, but also there's some serious challenges in boston itself. and actually, constituents appreciate someone just telling it as it is and what needs do. so yeah, we're getting stuck in. we're fully on. >> and so you sit here now as an mp. richard's comment on this, this story, from manchester airport, first of all, you know, we saw this footage and it looked like the police officer had gone too far, lost his look like he'd gone mad. >> didn't really you think? >> didn't really you think? >> why would he. so i, i, i was the first out of the blocks. i saw the first video and i knew something very serious had gone on because i saw that two police officers had both drawn and used tasers. now the police do not use tasers very often at all in a crowded airport, and i suspect most police officers have never used a taser and don't know the effects of it . so i knew

effects of it. so i knew something serious had gone on, which is why i said what i said at the time, which upset a few people. but i said, i tell you what, those police officers, something's gone on and i felt that they were getting a very bad rap . and the truth is, in a bad rap. and the truth is, in a high secure, tense security area which all airports are , don't which all airports are, don't take on an armed police officer. it's not going to end well. they've got serious split second judgements to make. and in many other airports around the world, they would have shot first and asked questions afterwards , asked questions afterwards, frankly. and i thought it was appalling that the home secretary, andy burnham, paul waugh, jumped to the defence of who's the local mp, jumped to the defence of the. basically what turned out, as i suspected, the thugs , violent thugs with no the thugs, violent thugs with no concern for the injuries to the officers, no concern about the female officer and no suggestion that they were going to arrest people for assaulting a police officer, which is a very serious

fine. no surprise to me. over the weekend, the footage comes out and it shows that actually this was a vicious , violent, this was a vicious, violent, brutal attack by someone who clearly knows how to thump people very hard . he took on and people very hard. he took on and floored at least three police officers, two of whom were women and he does that. and the reality is, at that moment, beanng reality is, at that moment, bearing in mind in other countries like america, a lot of police officers die because someone grabs their gun and then shoots them. okay. so they were literally fighting for their lives and they responded as they did using the tasers. and their job is also to protect other citizens in that airport and to make sure that an assailant is disabled. so now, actually, all of a sudden, all of these people, they are they're sort of rowing on the back foot . there's rowing on the back foot. there's a lesson to be learned from this. and the key lesson is that the police have failed in their comms strategy. they should have got that video footage from the airport within a couple of hours and put it out there and all of this nonsense would have stopped

the rioting, the protests, the fibs. >> but are you saying a police officer can kick somebody in the faces on the ground and then stamp on him? >> he , his or her job is to >> he, his or her job is to protect lots of people in that airport. and it's a split. hang on. >> no tase it. >> no tase it. >> i'm not sure that he knew that the guy that stamped on his head. also, i don't know. >> most police officers have never used a taser, so they don't actually know the consequences of how disarming and disabling that is, because it's quite a serious thing. and i repeat a split second judgement. if it got it wrong and that guy pressed an explosive button right as a suicide bomber and blew up and dozens of people died and it turned out well, he was a bit worried, you know, do i don't i make sure he's disabled ? i tell make sure he's disabled? i tell you what, he'd have been criticised for that split second judgements. these people need to be supported in making those decisions . suspension. decisions. suspension. >> would you lift his suspension? >> personally, i think they acted in self defence. i think they acted in protecting other citizens and i would lift a

suspension. yeah. of course you can look back and learn some lessons. no one's saying there aren't lessons to be learned in all areas. but the key lesson to be learned is the police need to get on with the comms. get this cctv footage, including the body cam footage from all those officers that should either have been put out there for public consumption, or given to an independent panel to quickly make a public adjudication. to say this is not all what it seems. and all of this rioting and upset would have been avoided. and look, it is serious when you've got different communities with anxieties about certain issues , making all sorts certain issues, making all sorts of allegations, all of that could be could have been avoided if the police had got this footage and put it out there literally within a couple of hours. >> i also think as well we should the conversation here should the conversation here should be around assaulting police officers, correct? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> because in amongst all of this noise, we're forgetting that these were a couple of individuals who thought it was absolutely okay to take the hardest possible punch up police officers, including a woman . officers, including a woman. >> and you can kill someone with

a, with a, with a, with a well placed punch like that from someone who clearly knew what he was doing. you can kill someone. >> the woman police officer knows is broken. yeah, and that could have. >> and given the force. you know, i we may be lucky that it's nothing worse. >> i wonder if he's in a i mean, we don't know yet, but but the way he was, he was. so i thought, god, this bloke's used to this. is he a boxer? >> yeah, but actually, why was he so violent? what was he trying to hide right. those are the questions that need to be asked. and as the police officers are going through the their split second, they're under attack. they're trying to defend each other and then they're thinking , what's going they're thinking, what's going on here? what's he about to do? why is he being so aggressive? all we were trying to do was have a word for word with him at a at a car park. >> it's incredible mind as well. this is an airport. >> i know, it's unbelievable. >> i know, it's unbelievable. >> airport. there will be children around there. there'll be people coming off aeroplanes. young people. yeah, it's just it just is despicable that we're talking about the police officer doing something. >> did. leanne, did you agree with lee anson, your colleague? you said the copper deserves medal. >> frankly, look, we don't know

what that guy was going to do, but, yeah, lee and i spoke a lot, and i fully agree with everything that he said. the police officer potentially prevented a much bigger issue. we just don't know that will all come out. but i tell you what, i've had police officers speak to me over the weekend and appreciate the fact that it was only reform uk that stood up for the police against a vicious, violent assault, and they're very grateful for that . very grateful for that. >> and the police have such a difficult job every day and every day. and we don't we always criticise the police. we never give them credit for. and in these what they're up against in these what they're up against in these what they're up against in the world of social media, that's why the police, the lesson for the police to learn is they've got to be right out there, front of foot with cctv footage in order to prevent that negativity and that anxiety emerging. >> that's the reality. did you challenge the home secretary about this? >> have you challenged her? >> have you challenged her? >> i have written, i wrote to the home secretary on saturday morning, cooper asking for confirmation that she would support the violent thugs being,

being arrested and charged and that the course of law would be, would be prevailed. that's been viewed almost my letter has been viewed almost my letter has been viewed almost my letter has been viewed almost 3 million times in 48 hours. and i think it has to be said. yeah. >> and people feel strongly, don't they, about. >> well, look, i understand people power. i understand that people power. i understand that people just looking at the original snapshots without thinking the consequences of the tasers. that was the giveaway. that was the telltale giveaway. >> it was obvious to me that something had provoked that police officer. >> it was obvious to me, and i called it out and bluntly , called it out and bluntly, that's why we've been sent to parliament to call stuff out. in hindsight and to say the unsayable and to think hindsight. >> perhaps he didn't need to stamp on him, but he kicked him to keep him down. >> he he you can't risk it. you have to make sure someone is disabled and cannot press a button for an explosive device. >> yeah, thank the lord for the sometimes. thank god we're in this cctv world. so we did see this cctv world. so we did see this because otherwise we wouldn't know. correct. wouldn't be any otherwise. >> good to see you. mp richard

tice mp richard tice . tice mp richard tice. >> right. up next we're going to have the latest on tommy robinson being arrested under anti—terror laws. don't go anywhere. this is britain's newsroom on

gb news. >> welcome back to some breaking news. >> really important news to. and. please. they've got it right. the high court has ruled the previous court tory government's ban on using emergency puberty blockers. we're talking about teenagers at the tavistock institute was lawful. more on this. throughout the day on gb news. >> when we've got it right, as we digest our 11:00 digestives. can you see sorry, your courses then we're joined by journalist and i bought them, by the way, as usual , not and i bought them, by the way, as usual, not offered to us. regular viewers will know that at the 11:00 1115 break, we like to have a cup of tea and start on a biscuit, don't we? emma woolf is here. matthew laza is also here with us. thank you both so much forjoining us this morning. right, tory leadership

contest, a bit of politics. go on. matt. >> so suella braverman has has fallen at the first hurdle. or she would say that she's withdrawn at the first hurdle as she said she had the numbers to get on the ballot paper, but oh, did she exactly. quite. oh did she exactly . scepticism i think she exactly. scepticism i think is appropriate, remember there's 121 mp5. 121 mps. >> you 121 mp5. >> you need ten to get 121 mps. >> you need ten to get on 121 mp5. >> you need ten to get on the list. and she says she's got the numbers, but there's no point going forward because nobody agrees with her prognosis. what's wrong with the tory party? >> she hasn't got the numbers. exactly. >> i mean, and she said that she's mad about it. she's been dubbed mad, bad and dangerous. and that's why the tories don't want to listen. and the party says the party does not want to hear these things said out loud. i think some of the party would say they don't want a candidate who said the party was going to lose before it had even lost in those last few days, which you which you sort of two days before the, the general election, she turned her fire on her own party, which is certainly not helped her cause she's when she says people don't want to listen. >> i'm afraid i don't think people want to listen to the conservative party, period, at all. >> yeah. i'm afraid. do you agree with that, >> well, we've got we've got

basically they deserve to lose badly. >> they were useless. and, and people want to give this new government the best wishes and get on with it as best they can. i suspect it won't work very well. yeah. >> we need some robust opposition right now. we really, really do. >> of course, reform will say it's them. >> well , and it's them. >> well, and let's see. and let's see whether suella makes her way over to reform. i think actually, i suspect she won't. >> actually. >> actually. >> no, you think not? >> no, you think not? >> i just think she's been a tory and i'd be surprised. but you never know. what do you think? >> yeah, i think, i think probably not. but you never know. i mean, it just depends. it depends really. how she's treated by the new leader. >> she'd also think if the new leader doesn't work. idf lasted two years. >> i think somebody stepped in. >> i think somebody stepped in. >> they might come to her. yeah. >> they might come to her. yeah. >> and it's pretty clear that this leader, they've got a poisoned chalice that they probably won't be the 1 in 5 years time. you need someone to steady the ship. you need someone to be a leader. yeah. rishi sunak certainly doesn't want to carry on, but it's pretty damning what she says. talking about a traumatised party. i mean, she doesn't. she doesn't pull her punches. but you have to remember, a lot of people do agree with a lot of

the things that she said, you know, especially on immigration, they failed miserably on immigration, they have failed miserably. one when she has spoken out, people don't want to hear it, but a lot of the country agree with her. >> so a very lonely place for suella braverman to be in that. yeah, i think so. and feel like you are swimming completely against the tide of the party and well be interesting to see if she backs one of those who does make it on to the ballot papen >> if she throws herself. >> if she throws herself. >> it's an uninspiring choice at the moment. apart from kemi badenoch, who i don't think is going to be elected as leader, she's it's a pretty dull choice campaign today, but i think she's i mean , her sort of number she's i mean, her sort of number one message, her top line message is that capitalism isn't a dirty word, which is a slightly peculiar. >> it's a very, very sort of internal tory philosophical debate. yeah. to have it's not sort of i don't think that speaks to the country, as an offer. she's very much talking to the party and the danger as my, my lot know only too well after the 2015 experience is if you just talk to yourselves, you don't end up with. >> but we know what kemi stands for. it's bigger than that. it's about standing up to woke and you know, getting back to basics

and properly sorting out immigration. yes, i think i think we know what she stands for, but i don't won't sort it out. no they won't, they won't. >> i mean they're going to let more and more people in. >> that's true. >> that's true. >> more and more people will be let in. there'll be you'll it won't be an amnesty. you'll dress it up as something else, but there'll be amnesties for people here. >> we're going to process the application. yeah, yeah, we're going to take action against the gang returns agreements just last weekend, rather than the gang rather than the plane that was being paid for by british taxpayers. sitting, waiting for the rwanda scheme. that never happened. instead, 50 odd, people who were because you were talking earlier about about foreign foreign criminals in our jails who were a mixture of foreign criminals and people who abuse the asylum system, were sent back to vietnam in the, you know, which the tories hadn't done. know, which the tories hadn't done . we're now going to we're done. we're now going to we're going to have returns agreement with vietnam that had been sending them back to vietnam. >> robert jenrick would say that he would tackle immigration. >> yeah. he was the one who resigned from the government over immigration, over the immigration issue. yeah. i think it's the i mean, people say it wasn't the big issue at the election. it was cost of living. of course it was. but i'd say immigration. >> immigration was absolutely.

>> immigration was absolutely. >> yeah. with the economy, i think it was absolutely the number one issue. and it was the one issue that neither party well, both parties have completely failed on and most were refusing to address. >> but you've also got to remember that the tories not only face a challenge from reform to their right, they face a challenge from the lib dems to their left. ed davey gave his first interview yesterday, saying that he still thinks there are more tory tory seats to be mopped up. and if we remember in after four years of the blair government, they did the blair government, they did the lib dems did gain seats in 2001, so the tories have got a difficult, difficult challenge to keep the kind of gail's bakery vote happy. the, you know, posh bakery will have bakery. >> all these huge whacking housing developments go up in these former tory seats, now managed by the lib dems. and the lib dems will whinge and wail about it locally, but they'll go ahead with it nationally. >> do you think that will cost them the seats locally? i do, what about can i just mention also priti patel potentially is the leader of the conservatives doesn't always come across brilliantly, but actually in real life lovely in real life she is exactly what i was going to say. >> but when i see her speaking,

she's one of those people like liz truss that i thought very early on. she's not bright, she's not bright in the way that kemi badenoch, you know, she's a really, really intelligent woman. i have heard priti patel doing that ten minute thing where she has said absolutely nothing, and she failed massively on immigration. >> yeah, well, she would say she didn't have it. she tried. >> she tried in real life a very nice let's talk about there was this huge, celebration of patriotic britishness in london on saturday. >> the pictures were extraordinary. hundreds of thousands of people in the sunshine, gospel singers. tommy robinson effectively was the leader of this event. he has been arrested now, matthew, for, detained by police under powers afforded to them under the terrorism act. yeah. >> what's going it seems to me it wasn't anything he he did in terms of sort of, you it wasn't anything he he did in terms of sort of , you know, any terms of sort of, you know, any incident at the march itself, apart from he showed a, a video at the march documentary called

silence . yeah. which is which silence. yeah. which is which apparently the anti—terror police are interested in, and but it also apparently it's also, there were some issues around libel in it, allegedly. i mean, you know , so this is what mean, you know, so this is what does that normally get you arrested? well it is that is what they just showed. just showing a video. not normally you wouldn't thought not on a i mean, nobody gets arrested for libel. so it'd be interesting to see whether these whether he was tommy robinson. >> it's because it's one turns into charges. >> it's another example of two tier policing. yeah. you've got this young 19 year old who has not even been charged. and meanwhile, tommy robinson is arrested for being tommy robinson and showing a video journalists who were covering the event they were sending along the crime reporters, they weren't sending along journalists. they were sending along crime reporters because it's a tommy robinson. >> i'm inspired demonstration or ask me, but why would you arrest him? >> and he shows a video which may be defamatory, but as you point out, the law of defamation is nothing to do with the criminal courts. it's a civil

matter. so why arrest him for showing? >> i think one danger is, of course, that you make him a martyr, that for his supporters they are. >> but he already is. >> but he already is. >> yeah, he already he already is. and the more you, the more you kind of arrest him on terrorism powers. he wants it to be a moment of tension. exactly. >> peter tatchell, in the days before, he used to seek out being arrested and he's now a pubuc being arrested and he's now a public hero because of his very principled stance against some terrible regimes. yeah, i mean, that's what he wanted. >> yes, i think i think, i mean, it will be very interesting to see whether any charges come of this. and of course, because it's under the terrorism act, special rules apply in terms of the detention, you can do with it. you can hold people, for longer than you can under so many things. >> the police need a terrorist, but he's not. >> there's no two things. >> there's no two things. >> you know, he's wrong, and. yeah, but he's not. i don't think he's. >> there was no suggestion that he did anything, that he showed a film that he's not allowed to show because of this defamation. and there are so many things. >> what's the but it's not a terrorist. >> this, this video, the actual documentary itself, it is called silenced. britain's banned documentary has now he's he's put that on his twitter feed.

it's now been watched 12.3 million times. >> so people want to see it. well done. >> well done. >> well done. >> the old bill. this sort of thing does backfire. >> and also, you know, i mean, he is a controversial figure. of course he is. >> however, we need more of those. >> when he saw his town of luton changing, what, 15, ten, 15 years ago, changing before his eyes with mass immigration and very short period of time, i'm going to try and defend. i'm going to try and defend. i'm going to try and defend. i'm going to defend him. how he tried to articulate what he saw as losing a british culture. it was very controversial. >> yes. >> yes. >> and this is exactly what the wheel is turning. and this is people now saying, hang on, i think he probably had a he had a point. >> and this is exactly what richard tice has been saying about boston and skegness. and i've seen it myself in boston. it's absolutely true. and local people feel unsafe. they don't just feel, you know, things are changing here. they feel unsafe. they feel unsafe for their children. they feel and religious women feel unsafe, and old people feel unsafe at the same time. >> we've now got five overtly sectarian mps elected, called

independent muslims . independent muslims. >> and we have in this country, in this country, running on gaza, tommy robinson on one side, or whether it's the five mps elected on an explicitly sectarian, you know, a, you know, clearly elected basically on muslim exclusively on muslim votes, pretty much exclusively on muslim votes. >> i hate that, i hate sectarianism of any sign of any kind. and it's really depressing. well, it's about division, isn't it? >> yes. >> yes. >> so much division a job. >> so much division a job. >> my employers treated me badly. oh, sorry. i'm only into gaza. i mean, they were elected on a ticket all to do with gaza. it's just extraordinary. >> this victory is for gaza. do you remember, george galloway saying that? absolutely chilling. >> yeah. because of course, these issues that we need to talk about. >> but they are not other than blaming the immigrant across the street because your life is rubbish. >> we need to be looking up and making and realising who made the decisions to let people here that have that have given us queues at the gp surgery have given us cuz i think i mean no places in schools etc. etc. in terms of these five mps, what they need to be is they need to have the scrutiny on them that any other mp would have.

>> and already we found that the one who it was revealed on this channel, the one who jonathan ash, who beat jonathan ashworth, one of his key supporters, said some pretty, some pretty unpleasant things. so the more scrutiny they get, the better there'll be plenty of that. yeah. >> matthew laza emma woolf we've run out of time. always good. as always. sam's waiting for us with the news here. he is . with the news here. he is. >> very good morning to you. it's just after 11:30. the top story we've been covering today. spending cuts are expected to be announced by the government later in an effort to plug a £20 billion black hole in public finances, rachel reeves is set to scrap some road and rail projects and cut public sector waste , among other measures, to waste, among other measures, to rein in spending. she'll also accuse the conservatives of covering up the true scale of britain's economic difficulties when she addresses parliament later , which we will of course later, which we will of course bnng later, which we will of course bring to you, live here on gb news. but the tories are saying that she's trying to con the british public so that she can raise taxes . we've heard in the

raise taxes. we've heard in the last hour that the high court has ruled that an emergency ban on puberty blockers, puberty blockers by the previous government was lawful. the advocacy group trans actual and advocacy group trans actual and a young claimant had challenged the order restricting the prescription of the medication, which suppresses the natural production of sex hormones to delay puberty . the ban was put delay puberty. the ban was put in place by the now shadow health secretary victoria atkins. her labour successor, wes streeting acknowledged what he called lots of fear and anxiety around the issue, though he is understood to plan to support that ban . former support that ban. former business secretary kemi badenoch is the sixth mp to now join the conservative leadership race. she's promising to refocus the party on britain's sovereignty and to revive confidence in capitalism. it comes after suella braverman ruled herself out, saying there's little point in her standing because the party's branded her, in her words, mad, bad and dangerous. her predecessor in the home office, priti patel, is also

standing, along with mel stride tom tugendhat, james cleverly and robert jenrick. tom daley has won his fifth olympic diving medal after securing a silver alongside his partner noah williams, in the men's synchronised ten metre final. the pair finished second behind china, with canada in third place. it's the first ever silver for daley to go along with his three bronze and one gold medal. for williams, though, it's his first ever olympic medal in his second games and a yellow heat warning across the country is in place. temperatures are expected to reach 30 degrees in the south—east and in london in particular. the uk health security agency says the hot weather may have significant impacts on the nhs and social care sector. those are the latest gb news headlines for now. still waiting for hopefully some more gold medals for us. i'll be back with the next update in half an hour for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news

plan. >> can you stand? >> can you stand? >> no. >> no. >> far left french groups disrupted any train that you might have taken. i mean , you've might have taken. i mean, you've had a very smooth journey in a way that some people this summer. >> summer. >> well, you say that you were delayed, stranded 90 minutes on the runway. >> 90 minutes. well, hang on, you get on, you're all clipped up, you're all clipped in, you're all ready to go. and the pilot says, sorry, we're here for 90 minutes. they. why don't they tell you that when you're getting. oh, this is coming back. >> i was also stranded for. i don't think anybody's plane takes off on time. you just kind of assume that it's going to be late and everything's broken. nothing works. >> and bizarrely, our largest airports in the country has just two runways, whereas amsterdam schiphol has six. yeah. >> and but the labour government say has for labour say they're going to press ahead with the heathrow airport. >> how does that fit in with their environmental record. >> only for the greenish sheen is creating a battery powered plane. >> i was reading about this yesterday. i'm not going on. that could fly. that could fly a thousand miles. i mean, this stuff is happening. >> you couldn't pay me enough. >> you couldn't pay me enough. >> i'm not going on that. >> i'm not going on that. >> i'm not going on that. >> i had a really horrible

experience recently on a vueling flight. >> what is a vueling flight? >> what is a vueling flight? >> the most terrible turbulence that i've ever experienced. i people were screaming. i think we thought we were going to die. the plane just sort of dropped it. we flew through a lightning storm and it was just oh dear, crikey. but what you do notice when you go to other countries is their airports are really nice. yes. >> and i was a horrible you come back to britain and all of our airports are just. >> and then and then you go to gatwick and just stop oil are trying to disrupt people like we should do some investments. >> but funnily enough, the chancellor is this afternoon nice. i think we should thank you. i think we should mention at least something that's on the programme. the chancellor will. >> he's just off. >> he's just off. >> will be delivering this, this statement where she's expected to cancel just about everything that was planned. these these beeching reversing, you know, the new the new rail lines, the new roads, stonehenge tunnel stone, all of these things. >> and they'll all be they'll all be. >> they'll all be in tory seats. >> they'll all be in tory seats. >> they'll all be in tory seats. but what's more, the tories say this is all just rolling the pitch, laying the groundwork for

october budget tax rises. >> and of course, they're also going to be talking about the, conservative nominations , which conservative nominations, which closed today. yawn, yawn , yawn closed today. yawn, yawn, yawn from midday next though, if you're struggling to see your family doctor this week, they may bring the nhs to a standstill with unprecedented industrial action. >> this is britain's newsroom on gb news. don't go anywhere.

>> it is, it is, it is. i'm told it's. i can't find the clock. >> 1147 40. >> 1147 40. >> where's the clock? >> where's the clock? >> you've only been away for two weeks. >> well, there. there's a little clock there in the corner. >> oh, yeah, that's right. it's 1141. there we are. i'm andrew pierce. this is bev turner. so there we are. so look, a new report has revealed nhs funding of ivf has reached its lowest level since 2008. and access has become a postcode lottery. >> so the north west of england

reporter sophie reaper sat down with one former patient to hear her story. >> i just know i'm meant to be a mum like i. so to me it's happening. it is. mum like i. so to me it's happening. it is . i am going to happening. it is. i am going to be a mum one day. so for them prefilled syringes last year, katie west began her first round of nhs funded ivf. >> where are you putting it? despite the injections, the hospital appointments, the nervous waits , katie remained positive. >> they rang me on the monday morning and it was a lady from the lab and she said i'm so pleased to tell you. and as soon as she said that, i just screamed down the phone. i was like, oh my god, my little miracle embryo. it's like it's going to work. it's happening. this here is a tube where they just shut it out and i got to watch that on the screen . it was watch that on the screen. it was magical. and i honest to god that was the best day ever. >> however, a week later , katie >> however, a week later, katie began to bleed and she knew that something was seriously wrong. >> i just had a gut feeling ,

>> i just had a gut feeling, because during the week i was waiting, i felt like i could feel it implanting. i had all these little signs and symptoms , these little signs and symptoms, but then when the bleeding started, i felt like i just knew that it was over. >> devastated , katie knew her >> devastated, katie knew her one chance with nhs funding was over because of where she lives . over because of where she lives. if she ever wanted to try ivf again, she would have to pay. a new report has found that in 2022, the nhs funded just 27% of all ivf cycles in the uk . that's all ivf cycles in the uk. that's the lowest level since 2008. and what it means is that for almost three quarters of patients attempting to conceive that way, they're forced to face the financial burden alone. the report also found a staggering difference in how a person's location can affect their chances at funding for katie, she was told she would only have one chance. yet just a few miles down the road, other women she knew were being given 2 or 3

opportunities for their ivf treatments to work. >> i think it's amazing we have a nhs, you know, and we do get funding, but i just think one try isn't enough. it's not giving you half as much chance. like even to get your body and mentally prepared for it. you know, i just think, yeah, i think three tries we should we should definitely be all entitled to commenting on the so—called postcode lottery of ivf funding. >> the department of health and social care told gb news everyone should have access to the fertility services they need , the fertility services they need, regardless of where they live. there is clear clinician guidelines making sure there is equal access across the country and we fully expect these to be followed. >> so i'm now home from my egg retrieval. >> yet despite these guidelines for many women like katie, their first chance at ivf was their only chance at ivf. sophie reaper gb news. >> thank you sophie. such an

emotional topic that isn't it? and it raises and also it raises the issue of what we should be providing on the nhs, all these difficult decisions that will need to be made. >> and these are big issues for the new government, because if you're waiting for that cancer 0p you're waiting for that cancer op or that cancer treatment or your hip replacement, you may have be less sympathetic to someone who hasn't been able to get in for their ivf treatment. >> it's really sad. right? up next, if struggling to see family doctor, things may well get worse. very

gb news. welcome back. it is 1148. >> so family doctors have been voting across england on whether to withdraw or take industrial action. nine different ways over action. nine different ways over a row over their contract for gp services. >> so this would be the first walkout in 60 years. if you can't get an appointment now, well good luck. let's get the thoughts of doctor lawrence buckman, former chair of the bma's gp committee. good morning, doctor buckman. thank

you for joining morning, doctor buckman. thank you forjoining us. what's morning, doctor buckman. thank you for joining us. what's your position on this? our gps left with no choice. >> i think gps are struggling very badly. >> they can't deliver the service that the patients quite reasonably want. >> they can't see everybody who needs to be seen. some people who really do need to be seen and not having enough time spent with them. >> i think most patients would say they're not having enough time. >> no gps are walking out . >> no gps are walking out. there's no strike. >> gps can't strike. >> gps can't strike. >> they're self—employed. who are they going to strike against? and certainly not against? and certainly not against patients. >> this is mainly about doing things properly for patients, which means taking more time with them. so for example, if you want to refer a patient to hospital, refer them. don't allow the nhs to filter out referrals that take time so that patients will actually get the referrals that they actually need , rather than the gp acting need, rather than the gp acting as a barrier on grounds of cost. because the nhs says, well, we can't afford a referral. so we're not going to let you refer or there's a filtering system

which are electronic referrals, where they're all processed through a central processing system that's designed to spread patients out. but actually what it does is act as a barrier to them. and it's time this sort of nonsense stopped. and the only way gps can do it is to refer patients professionally, in other words, appropriately, rather than act as a barrier to patients getting what they want. you've just been talking about patients not able to get ivf because of the postcode they live in. and that's outrageous. >> yeah. isn't it also outrageous, doctor buckman, that the bma, as part of this proposal, if they do decide to take this form of industrial action, they could be limiting the number of appointments with patients. and you say this is all about patients from to 25 a day. currently, the average is between 37 and 50. it's already almost impossible to get to see almost impossible to get to see a gp already. doctor buckman, this is going to make it virtually. it'sjust this is going to make it virtually. it's just not going to happen. >> it's going to make it harder. i accept that. >> the fact is that how can that

help the patient? >> well, but not by spending more time with the patients that you have seen. 30 seeing. >> 36 hang on, doctor, you see fewer than half of the people you were seeing. and you say that's going to help the patient because you spend more time with the patient you've got. so the other 25, that's 125 a week. too bad . bad. >> no. the reason for seeing patients at a particular number is because that is the european recommended safe level . at the recommended safe level. at the moment, we see patients at a rate that is way above the safe level and actually reducing it to what is professionally achievable. by the way, that's only one of the actions that gps can choose to take if they wish, the reason for that is to get patients to get a proper service . patients to get a proper service. if you're rushed in and out, you don't get sorted. what you want sorted. all that happens is you're pushed to on another appointment, which takes up more time. it's actually better to spread out the patients. the reason why you're getting a service that, in my view, is below acceptable at the moment,

is because there are nowhere near enough doctors and nurses working in primary care. >> so where have they gone? >> so where have they gone? >> so where have they gone? >> so you sort of led on to my question, which is going to be, what's the problem? are there too many people who are ill, or are there too few doctors that have made this situation worse, too few doctors? >> we can't recruit, we can't get people we can't persuade people. and it's not a bad salary. so we're not saying people aren't paid properly, but we can't recruit people to see patients . they're not too many patients. they're not too many patients. they're not too many patients. there are not enough doctors and nurses and other health care workers to deliver. why are we not providing a better service? because most of the doctors are exhausted and they're working at a level that isn't safe. all we're doing is one of the ten proposals is that gps could consider reducing their workload to the same as their workload to the same as the european safe level, that's all. not stopping seeing patients . patients. >> doctor buckman, how many of them work at weekends? doctor

buckman how many gps are working at weekends now? >> well , those who are on rotas >> well, those who are on rotas to deliver a weekend service. but most gps don't work on weekends. and reason they do is because an awful lot of doctors can't actually do a full quote. a full day's work because the workload is so high. and that's because there are not enough doctors making doctors work on weekends, which sounds completely reasonable. and i certainly used to work on weekends and didn't regard it as particularly worrisome, the fact is that the workload has risen and the number of people doing it has fallen. okay, well, on delivering to a larger population. >> we'd love to talk to you about this another day, doctor laurence buckman, chair of the bma's gp committee. there we have run out of time for this morning. it's been a first good show back. we are with you. >> good to be back with you. >> good to be back with you. >> and we didn't even get to talk about dopey joe biden, who, if he's remembered, has pulled out of the presidential race. >> we'll do that tomorrow. here's emily and tom. emily tom, could the bbc act, one of the most popular programmes the scandal ridden organisation will

be publishing a damning new report. >> during our airtime, we'll be there. >> and just as the french trains have been sorted out the olympics, they've now had their fibre optic cables cut and we'll be talking about how they're pointing the finger at ultra far left movements . left movements. >> looks like things are heating up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news . weather on gb news. >> hello. very good day to you. here's your latest gb news weather update coming to you from the met office for many it is going to be pretty sunny and pretty hot , but not for all of pretty hot, but not for all of us because there is a front just to the northwest of the uk and this is gradually making its way in. so there will be a bit more cloud pushing in across parts of scotland. northern ireland, perhaps the far north of england too . and there will also be a too. and there will also be a little bit of rain around . little bit of rain around. nothing particularly heavy but towards the outer hebrides. some persistent rain pushing in and that feeding in across parts of

scotland and northern ireland later as well across much of england and wales, though, plenty of blue skies, lots of sunshine and with that feeling pretty hot. temperatures in the high 20s possibly scraping into the low 30s. now as we go through this evening whilst in the south it's staying mostly fine. it is still going to be a little bit cloudy at times across parts of scotland, particularly across western areas, and here we are going to have some damp weather to end the day as well. some clearer breaks towards more eastern parts of scotland, but across much of northern ireland are largely cloudy. picture a bit of rain pushing its way in and across northern parts of england too. some cloud coming and going, but across more central southern parts of england and wales it is going to be a fine end to the day. lots of late sunshine to look forward to overnight. we are going to see the rain in the northwest gradually edging a bit further south and east across scotland and northern ireland, but it breaks up as it goes , so many breaks up as it goes, so many places turning pretty dry and elsewhere across other areas it is going to be a largely dry night with some clear skies.

perhaps the odd pocket of mist and fog, a touch cooler than last night across the northwest, but in the south it is going to be a bit warmer for some of us as we go through tomorrow itself . as we go through tomorrow itself. then a fine day for many, yes. still some cloud across northern parts, but less cloud than today and it is looking mostly dry here. just 1 or 2 showers to watch out for. meanwhile, across england and wales again, plenty of sunshine and temperatures are going to be even higher, getting to highs of around 32 by that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers . boilers. >> sponsors of weather on gb
