the emergency services for their efforts to restore peace, and welcomed how communities have countered the violence. this comes after the prime minister, sir keir starmer, said the police should remain on high alert going into this weekend despite the violence easing. police forces across the uk are on stand by over the weekend , on stand by over the weekend, with cabinet office minister nick thomas—symonds saying the government is in a state of high readiness for the prospect of further disorder. thousands of officers will be on duty as the met continues to support and reassure communities. teams are also visiting faith and community venues in their local areas today to listen to the concerns of residents and provide reassurance. around 741 people have now been arrested over the rioting . that's over the rioting. that's according to the national police chiefs council, of which over 300 have been charged. merseyside police says two more people have been charged following violent disorder in southport and liverpool, bringing the total number of people charged there to 24. a

senior police service of northern ireland officer says there will be a significant visible policing operation in place today, ahead of a planned anti—immigration protest and counter protest in belfast. assistant chief constable melanie jones says the police are expecting a very busy weekend for policing across northern ireland, with a risk of spontaneous protest . around 1000 spontaneous protest. around 1000 people gathered in belfast for a counter protest against several hundred anti—immigration demonstrators last night. police responded to several race related hate crime incidents and other disorder on thursday night in what the police said was the fifth night of disorder that officers have had to deal with. in other news, dozens of people have been killed in a strike that targeted a school turned shelter in gaza city. that's according to palestinian health officials. according to gaza's civil defence agency, more than 100 people have been killed, with dozens more injured. israel's military said it struck

the location yesterday, describing its target as a hamas command centre embedded in the school . an investigation has now school. an investigation has now been launched after a plane crashed in the state of sao paulo in brazil, killing all 61 people on board. the black box was found late last night. there were 57 passengers and four crew on board. and if you're watching us on television, you can see this drastic footage of the plane spiralling through the trees and ending in a plume of smoke. the plane came down, cutting through those trees and ending the lives of 61 people on board. now, former president donald trump arrived to address the republican masses at a rally in montana this morning. they the republican nominee, arrived at bozeman, montana, after his plane was reportedly diverted to a different airport due to a

mechanical issue. this comes after trump yesterday spent nearly an hour at mar a lago addressing a select group of reporters claiming that america was in the most dangerous position it's ever been, and called harris a radical left person. >> kamala is grossly incompetent and in my opinion, has a very low iq , but we'll find out about low iq, but we'll find out about her iq during the debate. okay, let's find out about her right. >> in sport, the algerian boxer at the centre of a gender row at the paris games has been crowned olympic champion. iman khalife comfortably beat china's yang liu by unanimous decision to win gold in the women's welterweight final. khalife won each of the three rounds on the judges scorecards. khalife had been under intense scrutiny after a previous opponent quit after just 46 seconds, saying it was to protect her health as the algerian's punches were so strong . and also, it's a bronze

>> it does feel like that. yes, but we are at the weekend. yeah, but we are at the weekend. yeah, but we are at the weekend. yeah, but we also have this incredible piece, don't we, from boris johnson. yeah. the daily mail, scathing overnight. >> i'm not sure where boris has been hiding in recent days, but he's written this daily mail column about the current prime minister, sir keir starmer, who says he fails to understand the root causes of unrest across the uk . he called him again the uk. he called him again the human bollard and said that he needs to go on holiday to have a think about what he's doing with the government, with the country and have a good think whilst he gets away from the chaos. >> yeah, suggests that he sips on a kir royale , which i thought on a kir royale, which i thought was quite a good line. well, joining us now to discuss all of this is gb news political correspondent olivia utley. good to see you this morning olivia. pretty scathing from boris johnson not mincing his words, but what do we expect a very punchy piece in classic boris johnson style, as you say ben, where has boris johnson been over the last few weeks ? over the last few weeks? >> but he does seem to be back with a bang. he accuses the human bollard, as he calls keir starmer of allowing the labour government to let this all get totally out of control. he talks

at first about specific labour policy failures, including the decision to close down all sorts of prisons and to let prisoners out early. now this is going to be a problem for keir starmer. looking forwards for now, his response to the riots has essentially been lock up as many of these people as possible get the courts working in overtime to get it all sorted out quickly. well, that's all very well , but we quickly. well, that's all very well, but we have an overcrowding problem in our prisons as he said himself only weeks ago. so what's going to happen when these prisons get full? there are only 1400 places or something ridiculous in engush or something ridiculous in english prisons. a lot of those are going to be filled by those rioters. if we keep going at the pace that we're going out, and then who's going to have to be let out of prisons? that's going to be a really big question for keir starmer. boris johnson also talks, and he's one of the few politicians in public life to really address this about the cause of the riots in the first place, which of course is the immigration crisis. now, boris johnson says that he has no

sympathy with the rioters themselves. anyone who is resorting to violence. but he points out that 34% of the british public actually agrees with the political points that the rioters are making. and he says, you know, if keir starmer is just planning to throw all of these people in prison and calling them all far right lunatics, well, does he believe that over a third of the british population are far right lunatics ? and when will an lunatics? and when will an actual conversation about immigration be had? there is a conversation beginning to happen in political circles, but at the moment it just seems to be very toxic. we heard from sadiq khan, the mayor of london, yesterday. he says that he feels unsafe now in london as a muslim, and he was actually pointing the finger at former conservative ministers suella braverman and lee anderson for stoking the rhetoric on this and kind of almost accusing them didn't quite go this well, but almost accusing them of inciting these riots by just talking about immigration at all. how is keir

starmer going to deal with this issue? because he has a sort of uncomfortable coalition of voters at the moment. he's got plenty of left wing voters who believe, like sadiq khan, that even talking about potentially cracking down on immigration is far right rhetoric. and then he has plenty of voters who are actually true blue conservative voters who were disillusioned with the party at the last election and decided to give labour a chance. what sort of immigration policy will keir starmer have to come up with to unite those two halves? >> yeah, it was a great line that the one you mentioned, about a third or 30 odd million brits being far right. i mean, it was very well put and just on sadiq khan as well. people were saying yesterday, oh you feel unsafe. sorry to hear that. of course. genuinely. but maybe you know now how jews have felt in london for the past ten months. >> that's what a lot of our comments yesterday was saying on gbnews.com/yoursay. olivia, good to have you. we'll speak to you in the next hour as well. well, the police remain on high alert this weekend, concerned about more unrest. let's speak now to our reporter. our national reporter, charlie peters, to give us the latest outside

scotland yard. good morning charlie . charlie. >> good morning ellie. yes, there are significant concerns that there could be upcoming disorder this weekend in part because there are several planned protests across the country set to take place today . country set to take place today. they've been put on by stand up to racism. they're taking place as far as edinburgh, but also we have demonstrations set to occur in birmingham , manchester and in birmingham, manchester and also here in london, where a demonstration is planned for the early afternoon outside reform uk's headquarters with nigel farage front and centre of a poster that the so—called anti—fascist organisation has put out online. and it comes as the national police chiefs council chair said that while we've perhaps seen a turning point in the violent disorder that's plagued the country over the last two weeks, they're not being complacent . thousands of being complacent. thousands of specialist officers remain on standby to be deployed

nationwide should disorder occur anywhere. we've also already seen so much so—called mutual aid, which is when police forces support one another in those incidents, when violent disorder erupts very suddenly. some forces in the south were deployed to the north—west and the north—east on wednesday evening. ahead of those rumoured right wing demonstrations outside immigration facilities that never really occurred. but we did still have significant so—called counter—demonstrators come out onto the streets. now, the day after that, sir mark rowley, the head of the met said that this was a show of unity from our communities, praising those demonstrations . but nick those demonstrations. but nick thomas—symonds, a cabinet office minister, said yesterday that he didn't want to encourage anybody to protest. it's hard enough when the police are dealing with one side very vociferously , one side very vociferously, putting forward their views and potentially being whipped up into violence. a lot of police forces are extremely beleaguered by some of what they've

experienced recently. there have been over 700 arrests, 300 charges. most of them are for violent disorder , but the second violent disorder, but the second most common charge are for that appears to be assaulting an emergency worker. some police officers, scarred by what they've seen, traumatised by the violence they've endured. but more demonstrations set to take place today and the legal system also working on overdrive . also working on overdrive. another 100 prosecutors on stand to by step in should they be needed. >> okay, charlie peters down at scotland yard. stay safe. we'll come back to you later during the show. and indeed the day we're joined now by author and broadcaster jenni we're joined now by author and broadcasterjenni trent hughes and former apprentice star trey lowe to go through all of the day's top stories . lowe to go through all of the day's top stories. how are you both? welcome, should we start with the king charles? he's called for unity amid the chaos ripping britain apart over the past week or so, he's called for mutual respect and understanding, hoping that the community unites to rediscover the spirit of britain. what do you make of that, jenny, >> i really like king charles. i have since i was a little girl.

i think he's really wonderful . i think he's really wonderful. and, i like the fact that he says things that normally we wouldn't have heard before. and so you do get a sense of who he is, what he's like, what he's about. and i think that this is about. and i think that this is a really good thing for him to be getting involved in on a certain distant level and saying what he's saying, because for i one, i've lived here 32 years. i was shocked at people actually going out in the streets saying, this is not me. the rabble going out there and creating a disturbance that i expected . but disturbance that i expected. but people coming out and saying, sorry, no, not in my name, i thought was wonderful. and i think it's wonderful that he's acknowledging that tray. >> what do you make of it? >> what do you make of it? >> yeah, i think it's great. and especially if you think we've got the olympic games on, we've got the olympic games on, we've got all of these people representing great britain. so you've got this sort of juxtaposition between that which is this multicultural, you know, people going out there winning

medals and you've got other people rioting and complaining about it. and for the king, who was a unifying force or should be anyway to come and do that, i think it says a lot about him. i'm quite like you as well. i've always really liked him as well. i think it's great that he's coming out saying this for me. >> i got the sense that he'd wanted to say something much earlier. yeah, and he was allowing politicians, which is probably the right thing. he's not supposed to be. he has to be seen to be impartial. >> yeah, to be impartial. >> yeah, to be impartial. >> he allowed politicians . he >> he allowed politicians. he allowed the authorities to make their statements and to handle their statements and to handle the riots as they were in full flow. and now he's come out saying, i saw the best of britain and people coming together and looking after their communities. and it was a really cohesive message, wasn't it? bringing together the people, which is what his role is. >> yeah. and he wasn't necessarily even condemning. i mean, obviously implicitly you're condemning the rioters, but it wasn't like doing that. it was really all about unity. you know, he wasn't singling people out. it was just like, now's the time to come together and really remember that we're all british. honouring the nice people. >> perhaps. so. okay, that's fine. but how do we come together? because there are still underlying issues here.

just because tens of thousands of stand up to racism, people came out and organised themselves and showed solidarity and support against thuggery. those issues that underlie the riots are still there. so how do we come together ? we come together? >> it depends on what you think the issues really are. >> well, immigration. >> well, immigration. >> okay, so in my mind, actually the real issue is that we are angry that we have become angry as a nation and anything that you hold up, people go, yeah, yeah, i don't like that. and it's, it's, that's part of the problem. so you can always say it's immigration, it's the nhs, it's immigration, it's the nhs, it's this, it's covid, it's that, it's the underlying anger that, it's the underlying anger that we need to do something about. >> are people not allowed to be angry ' angry, >> i believe that we can all be angry, but be angry with us. come with a solution in hand. i don't want to hear your mouth. i don't want to hear your mouth. i don't want to hear you running your mouth about this is wrong. that's wrong.

>> we'll try the solution from people who have concerns about migration would be. please stop allowing uncontrolled mass migration because we've not got the infrastructure. there's not enough hospitals, schools, housing, so on and so on. so their solution is please just get a grip of this. but they feel like they're not being listened to. >> i think that's one of the issues. yeah there's anger. but i think it's also people feeling a bit marginalised and not feeling heard . you know, i think feeling heard. you know, i think when we're here in london, where a lot of the sort of political power is based, we've got certain view. but if you're in these old mining towns where jobs have been decimated, they are angry. you know , everyone's are angry. you know, everyone's feeling the cost of living and the rest of it. and it's quite easy for them to then start direct their anger at. right. it's all because of you. and it's your fault that i haven't got a job. so i think it's really having them be heard. i think that's, you know, it's almost like that saying, i may not like what you say, but i'll defend to death your right to say it. and i think we should allow people to share what's going on for them, even though we don't agree with them, because that in itself starts to dissipate that anger. and then suddenly they can start hearing some of the more nuanced voices about what's going on rather than some of the more extreme voices, which is just it's all about immigration because we know it's not, you know, we know

it's much more than that. the cost of living and all the rest of it, which is what's making people anxious and angry, isn't all about immigration, but there are some real practical considerations. we can't necessarily let in. lots of people in because the infrastructure is not there, and that hammer tends to fall hardest on the working classes and the people that mostly can't absorb that. so they should be heard . but i absorb that. so they should be heard. but i think it's absorb that. so they should be heard . but i think it's also heard. but i think it's also looking at some of the people whipping up the flames, where it's not just about immigration, it's not just about immigration, it's just about pure , it's just about pure, unadulterated hatred of people because of the colour of their skin , or in these cases, often skin, or in these cases, often their religion. and i think that's the thing that we need to tackle and deal with. >> can we take a look at the daily mail? indeed. it's one of the papers this morning about huw edwards being asked by the bbc, the bbc telling him actually the villain huw edwards to hand back £200,000 worth of his pay. they say that he accepted it in bad faith after he was arrested. what do you make of this ? make of this? >> i mean, you oh, it's got me,

well, tickled, >> once again , i actually love >> once again, i actually love the bbc. i've been working for the bbc. i've been working for the bbc. i've been working for the bbc off and on for 25 years, and whenever the bbc stands up and whenever the bbc stands up and says we had no idea, i just laugh. >> well, they say he was leading a double life and they had absolutely no idea they okay. >> they might not have had any idea what he got up to in his spare time. but when the nonsense first started, there should have been i. i have never fallen afoul of it, but i've had a lot of friends fall afoul of the putting the corporation into disrepute. that's their that's their favourite phrase. and the instant that there was any hint that he was putting the corporation into disrepute, something should have some his salary should have been looked up, so looked at. so all of a sudden now to be yelling and complaining, oh, he needs to give the money back. that's terrible. the man's a villain. oh, come on, what about innocent till proven guilty though,

because it was a balance for the bbc. >> just play devil's advocate. it was a balance for them . it was a balance for them. because if he was found innocent, then they've taken his salary away for the last six months. >> yeah. i mean, no one, first of all, is going to, sign a contract to say if something happens, you can dock my pay retrospectively. that's not going to happen. right? so, you know, that's one thing. and another thing you do have to wait until he's found guilty, isn't it? i mean, i mean, it's going to be purely up to him where he gives it back or not, but the fact that he's out of a job, he's very unlikely to. i mean, 200 grand, a lot of money. >> and i don't think they i don't think he he doesn't have to. no, no. >> and i don't think i don't think that they should be calling him names. but actually you do sign every contract that you do sign every contract that you sign with the bbc. they get into the if you call the corporation into disrepute, well, they call it a morality clause. >> yeah. and i said it a few times. have you seen the morning show on apple tv? yes. so have you guys seen that new show? so it's about a breakfast tv show in america. the main male anchor gets into some sort of sexual mischief and he gets cancelled, basically, and he finds out

later on that he's got a morality clause in his contract, which means if you get up to no good and bring us into disrepute, we take everything. you don't get your pension. yeah, nothing. but according to, well, tim davie has pretty much alluded to it. huw edwards doesn't and didn't have a morality clause , which means morality clause, which means he'll still get his 300 k a year pension. oh, wow. if he gets banged up for ten years. wow. >> so. well, he must be the only person in the history of the corporation who did not have a morality clause in it. >> i don't believe it. >> i don't believe it. >> tim davie said. we can't do anything to claw back that pension. so the 200 k he was paid between november and what was it , paid between november and what was it, april? april is kind of nothing really compared to the 300 k a year. he's going to be getting 60 pads for life from his point of view. >> i mean, his reputation is intact, isn't it? so what's the point of him even giving it back? >> give it back, of course. >> give it back, of course. >> of course you're not. you're not going to rescue your reputation. so what's the point of doing that? oh, he's not so bad after all. he gave his money back. >> he's not so bad. he's not a cheapskate. yes, we'll forget about the other stuff. >> he's not a cheapskate , >> he's not a cheapskate, >> he's not a cheapskate, >> have we got time for one more story, or do we need to go to

the break? one more story. great. let's talk about, thursday. a—level results are coming out now. apparently, this is really interesting. the top a—level grades are set to fall as these soft covid teacher assessment snowflakes. it's going to come to an end. so people are going to have to actually just sit their exams and be marked properly. what do you think of it? >> i was a teacher for four years and jenny, you've done it all. >> you have. >> you have. >> yeah. life is so colourful. >> yeah. life is so colourful. >> it's actually interesting because until brexit i taught french business students and journalism students and, i was really tough. and i think that we're not we're not tough enough on kids. we're not tough enough on kids. we're not tough enough on kids. we're not tough enough on kids at home. we're not tough enough on kids in school. no more snowflake business. i absolutely agree not whip . not absolutely agree not whip. not whip. well, yeah. >> no, don't do that. no, don't i absolutely agree. i'm the son of nigerian immigrants and anyone knows anything about nigerian education is literally beaten into you. so i think it

should be as stringent as possible. 100% agree with that. >> but having said that, to offer some balance, apparently pupils are now ditching the softer subjects and they're going for tougher subjects like media studies like maths and physics. yes. so, this is from a professor at buckingham university, has revealed that a—level entries for sociology and psychology, the numbers of students applying to those are for down the first time in 20 years. so that's interesting. go back to the traditional subjects. >> it's a good thing . >> it's a good thing. >> it's a good thing. >> yeah i did. >> yeah i did. >> what did you do? >> what did you do? >> english, history, politics and religious studies. what about you? i >> go down the mines at 16. >> go down the mines at 16. >> i did media studies , and it >> i did media studies, and it was a big ofsted. i haven't even got a—levels. it was a btec national diploma in media studies, which was television production, film and publishing, journalism, making papers and magazines and things. so that was good. so not quite. they used to call it the equivalent of three a—levels, but, also sure, sorry , but you, you like

sure, sorry, but you, you like you are really proud of that, aren't you? >> you're proud of your education and doing your. >> do you know what i'm prouder that i didn't go to university. yeah, because i look at university students these days and for the most part, i just think they're wasting their time. >> do you think this has prepared you well? >> yeah, i think you're right. in some ways, if you think about the debt that they incur and it's almost like what some of them lack potentially is the sort of social skills and the actual experience you've gone straight into it. and experience sometimes is more valuable than the sort of paper qualifications, but it is a balance , though, because at balance, though, because at university you get to meet. well, i did people from all walks of life, and that's quite a good ground in in terms of deaung a good ground in in terms of dealing with people. but i don't think you need university as much as you. >> i didn't go, yeah, you don't needit >> i didn't go, yeah, you don't need it as much. >> richard branson didn't go. so we're in good company. good company. >> oh, the lists are great. of all the people who didn't go, not just a bunch of dancers, are we? >> no, not at all. >> no, not at all. >> did you say dancers? >> did you say dancers? >> no, not at all. >> no, not at all. >> jenny and trent, great to see you. we'll see you in the next houn you. we'll see you in the next hour. let us know what you think of any of the stories that we've just been chatting about. gbnews.com slash yoursay. thank you both. >> right. still to come, we'll be meeting former sprinter, a world champion and olympic

silver medallist jamie baulch excited for that. yeah, really excited for that. yeah, really excited for that. yeah, really excited for that. >> but next it's going to get you going as well. are the over 50s about to take off? it's the new recruitment drive from easyjet and it suggests that the over 50s might be doing just that. this is saturday morning live on gb news, britain's news channel

>> hello. welcome back. it's 1028 ben and ellie with you on saturday morning live only on gb news now are you over 50 and considering a new career and do you fancy taking to the skies because easyjet is launching a new recruitment drive focused on attracting cabin crew members over 50 and those even considering retirement? >> well , the initiative is >> well, the initiative is called returnships and it's inspired by research that suggests that 75% of people over 50 years old believe that now is the ideal time to embark on a

new career . new career. >> joining us now to discuss what it takes to embark on a second career as cabin crew is helen williams. good morning helen. >> hi. good morning helen. >> hi. good morning helen. >> just touching down in our studio . studio. >> it is it is quite a few days off and now i'm here. >> so you are now cabin crew? i am, what inspired you to get into it? what did you do before? how did it all come around? oh so when i graduated, i. >> i took an office job with my grad scheme, and that job lasted six months, and i started working for a european carrier. i did just over five years at that european carrier and had an absolutely fabulous time. i then went on to a wet lease operation with an irish carrier and another mainline uk carrier. i then decided to have time out. i had a business, i had a family, i had children , and last autumn i had children, and last autumn i had children, and last autumn i decided, why not? let's go back and do it all again. so returning to that european carrier that i'd worked at when i was in my early 20s, and what is that like for you now, returning that that bit older, having that life experience, having that life experience, having your children, do you think that's been a benefit to you?ifs think that's been a benefit to you? it's absolutely been a benefit. i mean, the amount of parents that thank me for

helping me with their small children when they're crying on a flight, i am that person now. or if you're dealing with children that are having meltdowns or they have additional needs and being able to support them and understand. whereas in my early 20s i kind of didn't understand kids and what they did . but now as what they did. but now as a little bit older and a little bit wiser, if you can make their journey a lot easier. the parents are ever so thankful. >> when you went back for a second time, did you notice more sort of older people amongst your your sort of colleagues? >> i did so when i returned on to my initial course in march of this year. just over half the course were over the age of 30, which was absolutely phenomenal. and i was expecting to return and be with a lot of younger 18, 19, 24 i was expecting to be that dinosaur. and that first day of training to find out that i wasn't the dinosaur. you have noidea i wasn't the dinosaur. you have no idea how exciting that was. and they've gone on that particular group to be a phenomenal crew members. and what do you think's bringing people back? >> why do you think people are taking to the skies later on in life? >> i think people thought that it was a young person's game. i generally think that people thought that, oh, i can't do it. it's for children, it's for

kids, it's for, you know, graduating. as of graduated. and what they then discovering is, if i give you a prime example, i can go and do my food shopping on a wednesday and not have to scrum in the evenings or weekends, the food that you would normally do if i did a 9 to 5 job, and people appreciating the fact that you've got lots of diversity, you've got lots of diversity, you've got lots of diversity, you've got lots of change. there's lots of things you can do. i, for example, i've been able to come here to you, which is unusual on a saturday. i quite often work saturdays this week. i've had three days off dunng week. i've had three days off during the week with my children, whereas had i done when i had the business evenings and weekends, that's when i had to do everything right. >> come on then, helen. i want some gossip. go on. the skies. 37,000ft up. best roots. worst roots . why? roots. why? >> it depends on the passengers. there are . i can do, for there are. i can do, for argument's sake, a european spanish route on a weekday. and i won't hear a peep from anybody. and it's absolutely fine. they're just families and children. however, your friday night before or a saturday in malaga, that's a different kettle of fish. >> i'm off to ibiza in two weeks. >> well, you need to watch him then.

>> serving me? >> serving me? >> no. no airport, no aircraft raves. please. no >> okay. i'll have to rearrange it. >> but do you think that that is a benefit? because i've got a friend who who was cabin crew, and she said she had to give it up. she said it's a young person's game. it's so physical. you're on your feet all the time. you're in and out of hotels. she just said, i just couldn't do it any longer. she's only mid—twenties. >> oh no. >> oh no. >> right . so >> oh no. >> right. so it's a laugh. my husband laughs at me that i burn 8 or 900 calories just at work. i do between 15 and 20,000 steps. don't need to go to the gym. just just roll down the aisle, do your cardio, close hatpins, you know, pull trolleys out. you get your exercise in at work and with the mischievous passengers like ben leo in a couple of weeks time, do you think that being slightly older, it makes you more able to deal with those kind of troublesome passengers? it is you are given extensive training to deal with disruptive passengers and passengers that cause you bother, should we say. but there's also that thing of you understand that if you're of a similar age group, not always it. also, you enable them to talk to them better, whereas i have seen some younger crew have not always dealt with it as well as they could have done, and things have flamed and you've ended up with the older crew diffusing it. >> i was on a flight the other

day, won't name the airline. didn't get asked once if i'd like a drink . that's right. like a drink. that's right. >> oh, you know. >> oh, you know. >> oh, you know. >> oh that's rude . >> oh that's rude. >> oh that's rude. >> did you have a word? >> did you have a word? >> let me say it wasn't a budget airline either. >> oh, dear. >> oh, dear. >> i think i know who you're talking about. that's bad. things have come a long way down. >> i was with someone we both know. we were both appalled. >> yeah, that would be helen. what would your message be to people who are watching and listening, who are in their 50s, thinking about a career change, a bit nervous about it. what would you say? >> do you know what from somebody who's come back to it, get out there and do it. oh, i'd say to you, what happens if you don't try? you'll always regret it. go and do it. go and give those courses a good try. there are plenty of platforms out there. again, i won't name those websites, but there are plenty of places where you can get training support. you can get books ahead of you doing courses. you speak to a lot of the carriers ahead of your interviews and things. they will support you and they will also give you running courses for you to learn the aircraft types and all that kind of stuff. it is not a scary world out there. go and give it a whirl and if you don't try, you'll always regret it. oh helen, wonderful. >> so lovely to meet you and talk to you all morning . talk to you all morning. >> aviation is so exciting as

well, isn't it? i love planes and airports and the excitement of being it is terminal. so yeah, it must be great if you're embarking on something new. >> it is. i mean, my six year old son will spend hours on flight radar stalking everything that goes out. he watches everything. he likes to know everything. he likes to know everything. but it's great for him to learn geography and things as well. >> great. yeah. and get a bit travelling as well. helen, lovely to meet you. thank you, thank you for coming in. >> thanks, helen. >> thanks, helen. >> thanks, helen. >> thank you guys. >> thank you guys. >> all right. still to come? we'll be meeting former sprinter, world champion and olympic silver medallist jamie baulch. >> i'm so looking forward to that. but next we're going to be talking about the battle for the white house as it continues. who is going to end up on top in the presidential debates? the journalist and author nelson aspen will be live from the us with his thoughts. this is saturday morning live on gb news britain's news

>> hello. welcome back. it's 1038 ben and ellie with you on saturday morning live now across

the pond. the battle for the white house continues. a short while ago, former president donald trump arrived to address the republican masses at a rally in montana . they say yes, he in montana. they say yes, he arrived at bozeman , montana, arrived at bozeman, montana, after his plane was reportedly diverted to a different airport due to a mechanical issue. >> but despite that delay , trump >> but despite that delay, trump still had time to criticise kamala harris once again. >> kamala is grossly incompetent and in my opinion has a very low iq , but we'll find out about her iq, but we'll find out about her iq, but we'll find out about her iq during the debate. okay, let's find out about her right. >> oh, donald. oh, dear. right. we're delighted to be joined now by journalist and author nelson aspen. good morning nelson. it kind of feels like trump and the maga and the republicans are fumbling the ball in the last quarter. what's going on? because he was untouchable pretty much shortly after that assassination attempt. >> that's right. of course . >> that's right. of course. according to most polls, kamala harris has edged out donald

trump in the popularity contest. but of course, we know how quickly that can change. and we're looking forward to the first presidential debate on september 10th. although donald trump says he's agreed to three different dates and kamala harris has only thus far agreed to september 10th and has sort of put that off and like, oh, well, we can talk about future dates as well. donald trump is accusing kamala harris of running away and hiding from the press, along with her running mate tim walz. the governor of minnesota. and he does have a point. she has not been very forthcoming with information. she's been making a lot of tiktok videos, selling a lot of merchandise, t shirts and mugs, but we have not heard a lot of substance as to what her plans are. if she assumes the top job and we do want to hear from that, the voting public wants to hear that it has been vague. she's been distancing herself from responsibility over her. you know, previously vice presidential duties, and we've

hardly seen anything of president biden raising concerns that if he is not fit to run for re—election, is he fit to complete the remaining months of his presidency? guys, i mean, it's a huge question that but we did see with that biden—trump debate, that infamous debate. >> now that they are still seismic and they can be seismic , seismic and they can be seismic, can't they? so what do you think we can expect on the 10th of september? because looking at that rally last night from donald trump, he's going to be really careful, isn't he . really careful, isn't he. because any personal attack and we know that's his forte. when he was talking about sleepy joe and the like any personal attack towards kamala harris, he'll be accused of being a misogynist and potentially a racist. >> that's that's correct. but if you recall his debates with hillary clinton, it didn't stop donald from being donald. and i don't think that will happen again. donald speaks to his base very clearly and distinctly and with enthusiasm. and kamala harris is quite the master of the teleprompter. in a debate

situation. she's not going to have that advantage . so you are have that advantage. so you are correct in that a debate can sway public opinion overnight. and that's why everyone is champing at the bit to see what happens between them. and we should also point out that we're looking forward to a vice presidential debate between jd vance and tim walz. if that eventuates they both say that they would look forward to it and these are very, very different guys and we're paying more attention now to the vice president role than maybe ever before because of kamala harris . before because of kamala harris. she's been our vice president for three and a half years. suddenly she's at the top of the ticket. so now we're paying much more attention to the vp slot. >> yeah, nelson, i can't wait for the debate between kamala and donald trump, because that's really where she will have her mettle tested. i spoke with eric trump last week, and he said that the media has been reforming and reshaping camilla's whole political identity, making her into some sort of centrist, untouchable goddess and completely ignoring,

by the way, her sort of very extreme left past from san francisco. has he got a point or is he just a, you know, echoing his father in that sense? >> no. he has a point in the fact that she has not been publicly forthcoming. she has allowed the media to speak on her behalf. they are they are showing us kamala harris as opposed to kamala harris showing us kamala harris , as she did say us kamala harris, as she did say in a in a two minute interview on her way to catch a plane yesterday, the day before, she did say that she is looking forward to sitting down for a press conference sometime before the end of the month. if you look at the calendar , we still look at the calendar, we still have quite a ways to go before the end of the month , so i wish the end of the month, so i wish she would do it sooner than later. but hey, it is what it is. she hasn't had a solo news conference since 2023 and we would like to hear from her. we deserve to hear from her. >> what do you make of tim waltz as pick of vp? because we were almost certain it was going to be josh shapiro , weren't we? so be josh shapiro, weren't we? so what do you make of tim waltz as pick, and how much of a threat do you think he is to

republicans? >> well, it's baffling. and he's he's certainly, providing, raw meat to the to the left of the democratic party. they love him as the governor of minnesota. so it was obviously a strategic pick on the part of kamala harris and a big surprise that it wasn't pennsylvania governor josh shapiro, who has an enormous popularity rating . and enormous popularity rating. and now, because he is jewish, there are claims of anti—semitism in the decision not to run with him. you wouldn't know that to listen to him. he's all, you know , cheer cheering for the know, cheer cheering for the ticket as it exists now. but it was a big surprise. everybody sort of had their money on josh shapiro, but he has a big future ahead of him and if harris ascends to the white house, you can bet that shapiro will play a role in the administration and just very briefly, nelson, because we're short of time. >> but waltz has taken some slack from the republicans for stolen valour, pretty much saying that there was a clip going around where he said that he carried a gun in war when in actual fact he was never

deployed to armed combat, and he did serve in the reserves for over two decades and got out before he had to go into the war zone in the iraq war. >> and he was very vocal about his opposition to that war. so there are the claims of stolen valour. valour, their side defends that, hey, he was on his way to end his military service before that . anyway. so as usual before that. anyway. so as usual with politics, it's one one person's word over the other. >> yeah . got it. all right, >> yeah. got it. all right, nelson, aspen is going to be a fascinating couple of months. i can't wait. thank you. we'll catch up with you soon. >> thank you. always brilliant, isn't he? we love talking to nelson. aspen. he's very, very good. and now do stay with us. still to come, we're going to be meeting the former olympian , meeting the former olympian, jamie baulch, to give his verdict on team gb's olympic efforts in the paris games. saturday morning live on gb news,

welcome back to saturday morning

live. now it's been a very busy two weeks in paris and our gb athletes have been collecting medals all over the show. we have. we are fifth in the medal table. yes, i've just done the maths. sorry. we had a target of 55 medals. we're on 57 so we're succeeding. say that again. we had a target of 55 medals for this games. we're on 57 so we're already exceeding targets and we're not even finished at the games. and also we've got more medals than japan australia as well. so technically we could be third, but we don't have as many goals as they do. >> so that's not not bad for a tiny little island for a tiny nation. >> we're doing very, very well. there's a really interesting, proud separate medal table elsewhere online. >> it's the medals per capita. so of course the us 300 odd million, i like this. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> so i think we're very high up on that. i think it's the dominican republic which is top in the list, but someone who knows much more than me, of course, about the olympics is the former welsh sprinting hero and silver olympic medallist jamie baulch , who joins us now. jamie baulch, who joins us now. good morning jamie. thank you so much for joining good morning jamie. thank you so much forjoining us. does the much for joining us. does the does the activities and the

greatness of paris remind you of your own triumphs at atlanta in 1996? >> yeah, well, it's unbelievable. it'sjust >> yeah, well, it's unbelievable. it's just been so great to watch. you know, with the people doing so well, it does bring it back. i can't believe that when i did it, it was in black and white television. it feels like it doesn't feel that long ago. but it's only when you look back. i think it's like 28 years now. you think, wow, what's happened there? but it's amazing to see them do so well. >> oh, and how amazing was it for you last night watching katarina johnson—thompson not giving up? she finally got her olympic medal, >> i was so, so pleased for it. you know, i know her fairly well and, she's such a lovely human being. so to see her get her olympic medal, you know, after all this time is just brilliant. you know, she just so deserves it. and i'm so delighted for her. >> jamie, what's been your highlights of the games so far? is there one particular athlete or discipline that's really sort of tugged at your heart strings? >> well, you know, obviously for

me it's the you know, it's going to be the track and field, but matt hudson—smith being a former, 400 metre runner myself, to see what he did and obviously just miss out on the gold medal, i mean, the time he ran was insane. i mean, the guy is phenomenal. so i was just so i know he was, you know, very disappointed him coming second. but what he's actually done, i think when he reflects on that in years to come, he's going to be like, wow, what i achieved here in paris was phenomenal. so, matt hudson—smith is mine. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and what about those people who've missed out on gold by just a whisker? you know , just a whisker? you know, talking about katarina johnson—thompson, talking about adam peaty? we've seen it a lot in these games. people missing out. you know, 0.02 seconds and things like that. is that something that is really gutting or are you just does that make it better in a sense that it was just so close? >> no, it's the worst. it's >> oh, no. in the world. >> oh, no. in the world. >> yeah. no, i've been there. i've been there with my myself. where you may have just missed

out on a final. you may miss out on a medal , out on a final. you may miss out on a medal, you know, gold to silver, it's heart wrenching. i mean, those people who got silvers would have, like, gold. those people who've got bronzes with, like, you know, as a sports person, you want to be number one. you want to be that gold medal winner. you know, there's some people who have come to the games. you know, who didn't expect to get medals, which have got medals . so from which have got medals. so from that standpoint, it's been amazing . amazing. >> jamie, how how close were you to gold? what was the time difference? >> well, i we were about a second behind in the 4x4 relay. >> in fact , we're the second >> in fact, we're the second fastest time. nation in history. we still got the british and european record, which is 28 years old now. so it's going to be very interesting to see how they get on tonight, to see if they're going to break the record, which should be broken because, you know, we did it so long ago now, just looking at some of that footage, that's me winning the world championships. that was great. yeah. >> how do you feel watching that back, that footage? >> oh, it's incredible. you

know, again, it seems like yesterday when i watched it, you know, all that hard work and graft, you know, i'm just one of the old people now watching in the old people now watching in the armchair and enjoying it like the rest of us sort of thing. and you know what? what always surprises me is when you see the people's ages, they're like 21, 22, 20. yeah, i look back, i was 23 when i got my medal. you're just a kid. they're all kids getting these medals for the nation. and i just love that. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> it's amazing. that's one thing that's really struck me. actually watching the games over the past two weeks is people born in 2002, 2003, now representing team gb and winning medals. for us, it's just incredible, something that is so amazing about the olympics. and i'm sure you agree. jamie is it can't ever be taken away from you. it's not you can't be a former olympian. you are an olympian. you're part of history and that's with you for life. that must just be the most incredible feeling and the most amazing achievement. >> yeah . it amazing achievement. >> yeah. it is. i mean, amazing achievement. >> yeah . it is. i mean, what amazing achievement. >> yeah. it is. i mean, what i'm finding is the older i'm getting when i got the olympic medal

initially people are seeing me and going, oh wow, it's jamie balls. you've got the olympic medal. but the older i'm getting, the more they're interested in my medal than myself. oh yeah, but no jokes aside. you know, once an olympian, always an olympian. and i just feel proud to be one of them. and. and to have a medal from there. you know, it's incredible. and like i said, i'm really, really proud of everything. which team? team team gb have done is just been cracking. and i'm looking forward to meeting some of the athletes who i know personally and, giving them a big bear hug because they deserve it. >> where do you keep your medal, jamie, >> well, funnily enough, i lost it for about six months. and when my son was a little kid, he said, dad, dad, can i borrow your medal? yeah, yeah. and he put it around his neck and he turned around, and he was in his power rangers box, so, i lost it , power rangers box, so, i lost it, but, i never tell anyone where it's hidden. where it is, because people might go to my house and get it so . house and get it so. >> yeah. i feel your pain. jamie. >> put it this way. it's not in

a special place. it's not. it's not framed up or anything like that. yeah, and the reason i don't get so excited about the medal is because all my mates have got them . have got them. >> oh, yeah? >> oh, yeah? >> yeah, i feel your pain with that. it's like where's my where's my car keys gone. and it's at the bottom of some like jigsaw puzzle box or something. jamie, this is going to sound like a weird question, right? but, i we got to go. sorry. i'll ask you off air. we've got to go. unfortunately, jamie, thank you so much for being with us. we really appreciate it. >> we'll be back after this short break. >> looks like things are heating up . boxt boilers sponsors of up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news hello. welcome to your gb news weather update from the met office. cloudy for some in the south but brighter in the north before turning hot and humid sunday and into monday. but having a look at the bigger picture, we've got this waving feature and that's responsible for the cloud and outbreaks of rain that we'll see in the south today. a bit of a

>> well, joining us now to discuss this is gb news political correspondent olivia utley. very good morning to you olivia. and boris johnson not mincing his words with this one. well absolutely. >> a very punchy piece in the daily mail today from the former prime minister. he begins by criticising keir starmer for his policy to close down prisons and, as a result, to release thousands of prisoners early, pointing out that basically he's painted himself into a bit of a corner with this. his solution to the riot seems to be to throw as many people in prison as possible, but with a massive overcrowding issue in prisons that isn't really a long term solution. he then goes to on talk about, and he's one of few sort of public figure politicians who has discussed this. the root cause of those riots, which, of course, is the immigration crisis. now boris johnson is not sparing in his criticism for the rioters. he says that there is no excuse ever to respond with violence. but he points out that one poll suggests that 34% of the british pubuc suggests that 34% of the british public sympathises with the rioters cause. so, in other

words, are worried about uncontrolled migration. now what is keir starmer going to do about that? is he going to address the problem? as i say, so far his solution has been to sort of go through the courts, open up as many courts as possible, throw as many people in prison as possible, which is might well be necessary . but in prison as possible, which is might well be necessary. but is there another prong to this as well ? does he need to be having well? does he need to be having a conversation about immigration and if so, how will that conversation go down with his voters? he has some voters who are very left wing, who were very represented among his own mps . sadiq khan, the london mps. sadiq khan, the london mayor, is probably of this category who believe that even talking about controlling, untrammelled immigration is racist in itself. and then keir starmer also has voters who come from sort of true blue conservative constituencies, who got tired with the last government and decided to give labour a chance. they think very, very differently about immigration. how does starmer marry the two together. >> interesting. what do you make of boris johnson in himself? because lots of viewers have

said, well, hang on a minute, boris, you were prime minister for a good chunk and you were in control of at least legal migration . migration. >> well, i mean, this is what people always say about boris, isn't it? before he became prime minister, he was writing all these punchy, brilliant columns in newspapers where he seemed to have the answer to all of britain's problems. then he became prime minister. it was a bit of a damp squib for a few years. i mean, you could say that covid was the reason for that covid was the reason for that and that all the sort of airway was taken up with the pandemic. but as you point out, he didn't really do very much about legal migration . in fact, about legal migration. in fact, the person who did the most to tackle the legal migration problem, which is an issue too, there were 700,000 migrants to britain last year who came here legally. that is an all time high. but rishi sunak boris johnson's rival, actually did quite a lot to tackle that. he brought in this exemption whereby those coming here on student visas or care visas or health visas aren't allowed to bnng health visas aren't allowed to bring with them their dependants or family members. now that

change has seen legal migration reduced by nearly a third over the last year, which is really going to help keir starmer actually in tackling the problem without having to talk about tackling another conservative gift for labour. >> so you've got the migration coming down, all the economic gifts , inflation coming down, gifts, inflation coming down, interest rates. yeah. nice timing for sir keir starmer olivia. thank you very much. thank you. things have been really heating up across the nafion really heating up across the nation this week. of course, with the protests . there are with the protests. there are more protests planned across the country today as well. >> we're joined now by our national reporter, charlie peters, who's outside scotland yard. good to see you this morning, charlie. and police remain on high alert, don't they? this weekend , concerned they? this weekend, concerned about further unrest . about further unrest. >> that's right. the police are on high alert. thousands of officers remain able to be deployed nationwide to deal with any violent disorder or sudden protests. but it's not just manpower. it's also legal powers. this morning, northumbria police announcing that they've introduced additional legal powers in newcastle and the surrounding

area to deal with stop and search and also allowing them to confiscate any items that might conceal identity. a core part of these protests over the last 12 days has been the number of people turning up in masks or covering their faces , covering their faces, potentially to avoid prosecution for any criminality. now these powers come in as there has also been a start of a protest in manchester. at the moment. that's a stand up to racism rally. now that's one of several that the group has planned today in birmingham, in edinburgh a week later that inspired those people to go and try and burn it down. >> so politicians need to be careful what they say and what they do, because we are all here to hold them to account. we are here to demand that their safe passage for refugees that have every right to be here in this country . country. >> well, while that's all going on, there are also ongoing protests in in london that's expected to come up today in

manchester, in birmingham and in edinburgh. and the national police chiefs council chair has said that the police, they feel as though a tide has turned . as though a tide has turned. they've turned a corner after the last serious violent disorder took place on tuesday evening in plymouth . but they're evening in plymouth. but they're not being complacent now. the head of the met on thursday morning after those large demonstrations on wednesday, said that it was a show of unity from communities appearing to praise the large number of people who came out. but the day after nick thomas—symonds, the cabinet office minister, said he didn't want to encourage anyone to protest the police are spread thin at the moment and they're concerned about demonstrations from both sides on this issue. >> okay, charlie peters there for us outside new scotland yard. thank you very much indeed. >> thank you charlie. stay safe as well. jenni trent hughes is here. and trey will be here in a second. former apprentice star trailer. he's just popped out. i'll let you him explain where he is, but yeah. jenny, welcome back in the times today page for

page three, the edinburgh fringe shoots itself in foot with trigger warning spree. so apparently lots of performances have trigger warnings before in case the audience gets offended. what do you make of that ? what do you make of that? >> what a nonsense. i mean, but seriously, what a nonsense. first of all, if you're at the edinburgh fringe, one of the reasons you are at the edinburgh fringe, it's not like you're at the proms, you know you're looking for edgy stuff, you're looking for edgy stuff, you're looking for edgy stuff, you're looking for new stuff, you're looking for new stuff, you're looking for new stuff, you're looking for different ways to approach forever subjects you know? no, just no. >> and you don't understand if it's really harrowing content, you maybe have to have a trigger warning. but there's trigger warnings that the edinburgh fringe, this year for things like drinking alcohol, fringe, this year for things like drinking alcohol , the sound like drinking alcohol, the sound of fire alarms and talking about periods, i mean, that's extreme. is it not? >> i think the whole idea is absolutely ridiculous. and i think it's a more of that infantilization of the population. i'm a grown up. i

don't need you to , you know, i don't need you to, you know, i don't need you to, you know, i do no understand the flashing lights . one. you know, that's lights. one. you know, that's because because that sets off people. that's. yes, that's a health thing. well, there's another good one warning about. >> causing fury by revealing plot spoilers. i mean , that's plot spoilers. i mean, that's not a bad one, is it? that's not wokery . wokery. >> see, there's one. there's also one here about audience participation. but i actually think that's a good thing. so i like to know if i'm going to be included in the show. >> i get a bit nervous in the front row. >> yeah i do, i do want to know if i'm going to be picked on. >> well, the thing is that i think that when you go to a show, any kind of show like that, you want to stand in the lobby looking through the door because you know that they're going to pick on you, you know, you, the blonde, you know, you the old lady in the stripy trousers . no, no. trousers. no, no. >> yeah. welcome back. trey. >> yeah. welcome back. trey. >> hey, hey hey hey hey hey. >> hey, hey hey hey hey hey. >> adventure decided to join us straight. do you enjoy a trip to the bathroom? >> it was brilliant . he was >> it was brilliant. he was taking a nap. >> he was power napping. i saw

him. >> no, i was just making sure i was really prepped to come out. ready to. >> what do you make of these trigger warnings that edinburgh festival? >> do you know i'm 49. i'm from a different generation and we i obviously i'm not really a massive fan of it because i just think it's like it's creativity or it's like it's comedic, it's comedy . like you should be going comedy. like you should be going there thinking whatever comes up, we're going to roll with it. yeah, that's just my generation. but i do get it. like you've said, i've gone places where someone gets bullied because of what they're wearing or maybe what they're wearing or maybe what they're wearing or maybe what they look like. so yeah, i get so, you know what i mean. some people want to know that they're going to be the butt of they're going to be the butt of the joke for the day, but i think they should not overdo it. >> no . and there might be >> no. and there might be a sense they are. now, let us know what you think. gbnews.com/yoursay, let's talk about the breakfast pint, you know, and you've got an early flight. you've got a red eye. would you be tempted to have a pint, a drink at the airport before you take off a pint of orange juice or cranberry juice, maybe, but not alcohol . maybe, but not alcohol. >> that's just pathetic. >> that's just pathetic. >> yeah. no, not in the morning . >> yeah. no, not in the morning. and i, you know, you know what, though? i quite like the fact that people are becoming a lot healthier. >> you know, apparently you're shunning it now. you don't get a

breakfast pint at the airport. >> yeah, i quite like i don't mind it, you know, something a bit healthy, maybe a smoothie or a shot or something like that. i mean, a shot of turmeric. not a shot of vodka , but the airport. shot of vodka, but the airport. >> do you? yeah >> do you? yeah >> any time of the morning. i don't care what time the flight. >> not in the morning, though, do you? >> yeah. always doesn't matter . >> yeah. always doesn't matter. no flight is. >> but why is it sort of jittery nerves or just. no, no, no, nerves orjust. no, no, no, >> my holiday starts at whatever time i get to the airport. i've never understood it. >> my mates used to go abroad and lads holidays at the moment. we got to the airport. lagers and pints. yeah. i think it's great. i never got involved in it. i just don't see the fascination in it. >> oh, i think it's so fun. >> oh, i think it's so fun. >> maybe i'm a bit wet. >> maybe i'm a bit wet. >> i think your activities, your fun should start at the airport. the holiday starts. >> can we have a discussion? probably not here right now, but about prosecco. i need for you to get me to understand. >> to be honest. but i would have it . prosecco. champagne? have it. prosecco. champagne? >> champagne? yes. prosecco i don't understand. >> you did a blind test. you would know the difference between prosecco and champagne. >> you would instantly. >> you would instantly. >> of course you would know. >> of course you would know. >> i love that. >> i love that. >> it's very, very dry.

>> it's very, very dry. >> no, it always prefer champagne. but sometimes in the airport you don't get choice. jenny and i'll just take what i can get. oh, okay. >> but are you tempted by an airport pint? >> are you one of these that has shunned it? now, apparently people prefer going to fancy. this is you. this is your fault, trip . this is what people prefer trip. this is what people prefer now. and alcohol free beer. let us know if that's you. >> are you not just hung over though for the first day of your holiday? surely? >> no, no, i think you've just got to. >> you've quite literally just got to fly on through. >> oh, see, i'm not that big of a drinker, so it's just not. it's just not me. if i did that, if i got drunk on a plane or had like early morning pints , i'd be like early morning pints, i'd be finished for the next two days. i'd lose. yeah. three days. >> that's the issue , i think. >> that's the issue, i think. yeah. because then you don't really enjoy it as much because you're, like, nursing a hangover the whole time. >> oh, no . pathetic. the lot of >> oh, no. pathetic. the lot of you . you. >> that's our holiday cancelled. i'm afraid we're out of time. but we had fun. that was fun. thank you very much . thanks, guys. >> females in saying everybody loved you today. so thank you very much. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> good to see you. still to come. more fun to come. we're

going to be joined by stephanie takyi for all the latest in the showbiz world. >> yes. but up next, back in the uk, from his recent trip across the channel, you'll have seen him on your screens in paris at the aquatic centre . olympic the aquatic centre. olympic swimming legend mark foster will be here in the studio. you do not want to miss it. very exciting. he's out there. i can see him through the glass and i'm getting giddy. we' re we're excited. >> back in

tick. >> hello. welcome back. 1121 ben and eddie with you on good. let's say good morning britain. i know you're about to say that saturday morning live only on gb news now team gb at the olympics have been jumping up the medals table across the past two weeks in all sports and we've certainly kept the french hosts on their toes. >> yeah, we're fifth in the medal table. we've actually got more medals than fourth and third place actually above france in terms of medals. so i think we're doing great. and

someone who knows all about it is mark foster. he's been giving us plenty of insights during the course of this year's olympics , course of this year's olympics, and he has the perfect pedigree, given that he is a former olympian himself. mark, we are honoured to have you in the studio with us this morning. you must be absolutely exhausted. every time i turn on the telly. there you are, >> a little bit tired, but the beauty for me is i always sort of say the next best thing to do in it is talking about it. so i felt it felt a privilege to sort of be there and feel that you're i don't know, who wouldn't want to go to the olympics and watch. i mean, they pay fortunes for tickets and i get to be there every night. and i think i got the dress code right this morning, by the way. >> we're blending very well. we are do you ever feel the need to jump are do you ever feel the need to jump in the pool and get involved and want to compete again? >> yeah, yeah, i the thing is, it's like i say this for many sports person, i think that it is the best job in the world in terms of as a kid at school, you like playing sport, sports a game, right? and then game becomes your living. the downside is at some point you're going to have to retire. so i'd love to continue to do it. i retired at 38. that was after my fifth olympics. simply, i would

have carried on till now if the body would have managed it. >> oh you are? yeah guns. get the guns. >> dodgy hair. do you've got some. you've got some old school pictures here. >> what year was that? can you remember, >> we're in the archives. >> we're in the archives. >> i was winning the world's, i think, in 2000. that one with james hickman and the other one that was commonwealth games in 98. i do believe. >> can i ask you a question? i was going to ask jamie baulch earlier in the show, but we ran out of time, when i watched sport . recent memories include sport. recent memories include mo farah winning the 5000m in 2012. i did it with keely hodgkinson, this time winning the 800. i get so emotional, i cry, i cry happy tears and it happens quite a lot with sport. andy murray winning wimbledon . andy murray winning wimbledon. yeah. do you know why that is? what's your explanation for that? >> well, i'm only guessing that you, you personally get emotionally invested. yeah. but in a good way. it's sort of i don't know i guess you feel proud that those people are representing your country and you sort of get involved a little bit in their journey. >> yeah, i was saying that too early. i think maybe subconsciously about the times

they've dragged themselves to training, the years, the pressure and so on and so on. do you get like that with sport? well, it's always one of those things you never see as the public. >> you never see what goes on behind the scenes. you just see, i'm going to say the glory days. you just see the moments in front of the tv. so the olympics for swimming, the olympics is once every four years. so unless you're into swimming, you might watch the europeans or the commonwealths or the world championships. you don't see these athletes . you see them these athletes. you see them once every four years, but you don't see also the training that goesin don't see also the training that goes in behind it. and my, my similarity would be like a skyscraper. you see the top of the skyscraper. we don't see skyscrapers have massive foundations. so you don't see the, the dark hours, the early mornings, that sort of hard graft the heart. i always think that the bit on the screen is the easy bit, because that's the competing side of it. the hard graft goes into those early mornings. the weight sessions, the stuff you don't see. >> so you want a combined total of, i think 51 medals, including 19 golds. do you ever get emotional looking back at your own career ? do you have time to own career? do you have time to reflect? >> i just felt fortunate, you

know, i loved it and i loved the training aspect. i mean, athletes are going to say beat themselves up for a living every day. they're trying to push their bodies to limits. but i felt privileged that i found how many people can say they love what they do. yeah. and my job became something that i loved . became something that i loved. passionate hobby, whatever you want to call it. the hard side is okay when you retire. what do you do next? but my, my sportsman mentality is, do you know what, i'll try anything. i'm not afraid of a challenge and i'll just see what comes out that the other side. and how can you say you enjoy doing something without trying? so i kind of try everything and just throw myself in with the same mentality. >> and you were at the olympics five times, weren't you? >> what was the highlight of those five games? because you were a flagbearer, weren't you? in 2008, 2008? >> good knowledge. you've done your research. >> yeah, she's got her brief . i >> yeah, she's got her brief. i read my brief. yeah. what was it, >> my first olympics was 1988. in seoul. i was 18 years of age. wow. i went to five olympics. i missed 2004 because i got

injured before those olympics in athens. so it could have been sixth. yeah. the highlight was, can the flag round at the opening ceremony for me in 2008, but can you describe that feeling carrying your nation's flag? i felt humble, first of all, that i was nominated by the rest of the team gb to be to be the flagbearer because everyone nominates there was there were seven people shortlisted in my year to be flagbearer . one was year to be flagbearer. one was tom daley, one was jamie murray, myself, and there were seven of us. and i remember princess anne came up to a lectern the night before the opening ceremony in chinese ambassador's residence in beijing, and she i was listening to sort of every word she said, because i knew this would be my last opportunity, my last olympics. and she started off by saying he and there was a lady in there. so i went, okay, that's six of us. and then she went as dedicated his career. and i was like, well, tom daley's 14. and i was like, well, tom daley's14. he's not had a career, so i'm still in it. and then i realised it was going to be me. and it was it was humble. there was 500 team gb members walking into the stadium. they were singing songs and i just kept. yeah, it was it was a humble, humble experience. >> so you were just you were you were a kid at your first

olympics. yeah. 18. yeah. well, i first represented britain at 15 years of age. >> i was national senior champion at 15 and record holder at 15. first major championship was 1986 commonwealth games in edinburgh. and i was this little 16 year old. i had a mohican. it wasn't coloured, but it was, i don't know what i was doing, but anyway, i got carried away and i remember being on that team with the likes of colin jackson and linford christie, and they were people that i watched on the tv and i think throughout my career , and i think throughout my career, when i watched people on tv, i just wanted to be like them sports people, because i just love movement and i love playing sport. so then all of a sudden to be on a team with them, you kind of go, this is cool, but then you also realise that, hang on, they go to the dinner hall like me. they go training like me, then why can't i be like them? and then my sort of level of expectation and also realisation that i can because they're just normal. they're not. because on tv you think these people are superhuman. and that's where it sort of changed and it sort of shifted in the sense, well, they are superhuman in a sense, aren't they? >> i mean, i'm just absolutely obsessed with the olympics. it's

always on in my house when it's on. i'm not even a particularly sporty person, but i think it is that looking at them like they're superhuman, but it's also huge amounts of dedication. i think they're like ducks on the surface of a pond, aren't they? >> it's all underneath what goes on underneath the water. but i mean, they're all superhuman. they're not superhuman . they're they're not superhuman. they're just human. but they they when you obsess about something and you obsess about something and you do it over and over and over again, it's amazing how good you can become. yeah, but that's not just with sport . i could be with just with sport. i could be with tv. that could be an artist. that's anybody that does anything. the more you do it, the better you become. i mean , the better you become. i mean, that's that's obvious. it's just that's that's obvious. it's just that some people are a little bit more talented than others. >> so it's the consistency, of course, of training. but is it you mentioned then when you said you mentioned then when you said you were in the room with colin jackson and so on, and you realised they're just like me, we're all going for dinner. we're doing the same things. yeah. was it then that you established that self—belief that you need to really push on to the higher level? i thought you belonged there. >> and the lucky thing for certain people is if you're in a training group like adam peaty's training group like adam peaty's training group, duncan scott, i'm going to use swimmers , for i'm going to use swimmers, for example, or athletes. but if you're in a training group with people that are that are already great by hanging them around them , you kind of go, well, it

them, you kind of go, well, it just becomes your normal. yeah. whereas when you see them on the tv and there are far you always think they're great. so all of a suddeni think they're great. so all of a sudden i think just by being around people you normalise it almost, you normalise it. exactly. and i mean, i'm just going to say quickly, in case you don't ask me, my highlight of the olympic games, i was just that was my next question. question are in the swimming perspective. minsk men's four by 200 freestyle relay. the same relay that won three years ago. let's call it four years ago. the last olympic games are the same team that did it again. so matt richards, james guy, duncan scott and tom dean, they they backed up the relay. and will they go again another four years because they are young enough just to see that from that team perspective, that gold medal. but my big, big one was a guy called ben proud. oh, ben proud, 50 metre freestyle silver medallist. he came fourth in rio, fifth in tokyo and then he won this time. but he'd won everything else. but this was the one and this is in my eyes, i'd be biased because it's my event. the 50 freestyle is the hardest event in the swim calendar because everyone wants to sprint freestyle. it's the

shortest event, the small touches, but everybody wants to swim sprint freestyle because as a kid, when you ran, you wanted to be quick, right? yeah. and then along the way you kind of 9°, then along the way you kind of go, okay, i can't do that event. i've got a bit further or i can't do that again. event i'll jump. >> i'm using athletics, kind of like starting as a striker in football and ending up at the back as a left back. >> exactly. everyone wants to be the glory one. the fastest swimmer. so that is the hardest event. and it came away with the silver medal five hundredths off gold. and that to me was my. >> so he shook off his olympic hoodoo.i >> so he shook off his olympic hoodoo. i guess he did. >> yeah. he got there and he's only one step away. and to me he will go for another four years because he's always constantly learning and wants to progress. >> mark, i don't know if you have much to say about it, but what do you make of kind of maybe the wider conversation on, trans athletes or intersex athletes in sports? we had the boxing last night where romain khalife won gold. lots of controversy about whether they have xy chromosomes or whether they're a female is there is reducing testosterone in, for example, trans athletes. is that enough to bring the playing field to a close? >> i don't know enough about it. in my mind, what tells me and what i do know, that's not fair.

i think i remember i talked a lot with because i'm not that well educated in this area. i know bits and i know what i read, but i spoke a lot to, sharon davis. and she was saying to me back in the 70s, early 80s, there was a simple sex test, which was a swab test in the inside of your mouth, and it said, if you're xx or xy, if it's as simple as that. i don't know why everyone can't do it. and then but again, i don't know the background with this, but from what i do know , world from what i do know, world boxing has said that it wasn't fair. so then i don't know why the ioc said it was fair and why they didn't take the lead from world boxing. so and when you when you're, when you're in a sport which a combat sport which could be potentially really dangerous. yeah, then i think it needs looking at a little bit more. >> yeah. and now that we're seeing these two boxers so imane khelif and there's a taiwanese boxer tonight in her final, lin yong ting , they're both set for yong ting, they're both set for golds. and do you think it will be if they both win gold that

we'll see that that perhaps needs to be reviewed. >> yeah. well, it raises more of an eyebrow. and also it also says, you know, i told you so . says, you know, i told you so. so from that point of view i'll use a swimming one. so we lia thomas. yeah. who i think was william thomas i might get that name wrong. william thomas. no, you're correct. lia thomas and william thomas as a male swimmer was something like 500th in the nca rankings. as a male , nca rankings. as a male, transitioned to being a female lia and then and then won. so there's if i go i need proof. that's my proof that you have an advantage. so i kind of go back to it's not fair. advantage. so i kind of go back to it's not fair . and i think to it's not fair. and i think women have fought for rights for years to just vote. and then all of a sudden just to have sport and the level playing field. and from that point of view, it's completely not fair. >> the argument is that they've reduced their testosterone to a level that would mimic a females, but i've seen loads of scientific studies saying that if you go through male puberty, you've got bigger bone density,

bigger lung capacity, more capacity to produce atp in your muscles. you're just, you know, just because you've got low testosterone doesn't mean that that negates everything you've been through through puberty. so it's a difficult one, isn't it? >> definitely not. >> definitely not. >> what are we going to take from paris, do you think? because we always talk about legacy, don't we? we talk about legacy, don't we? we talk about legacy of london 2012. what are we going to take from this games? we're doing great. >> fifth, aren't we in the middle, i think i think the team has done well. >> there's a lot of i can say from the pool we adam peaty lost by 2/100 of a second match. rich has lost by 2/100 of a second. ben proud . ben proud. >> there's been lots of close shaves hasn't there? >> there's those tiny little. we always talk about marginal gains. and where do those advantages come from. or how do we make those marginal gains up. so it's a game of marginal gains. but we've been on the right side of the some of them. and on the wrong side of some of them. i think the team as a whole has done good. i think really good. did we do great? no, but we've done really, really good. can we do better? yes, possibly. i think the swim team has been great on the men's side, and the women's side is again a few near misses and i

think those near misses, and jarrad evans on the breaststroke, she's she's one for the future . katie shanahan for the future. katie shanahan did good. there was a few near misses, but i think the team across the board, we put a structure in place which enables athletes to be on their best when they get there. yeah. and i think i think that's happened and we can just continue doing what we're doing and invest in sport and the more we invest, the better we do. >> well, it pays off, doesn't it? clearly pays off doing great. thank you so much, mark foster. you're a legend. so good to have you. thanks for having me. thank you so much. i'm going to get the news headlines now with tatiana . with tatiana. >> emily. thank you. the top stories this hour. king charles has called for mutual respect and unity following riots across the country, speaking out for the country, speaking out for the first time since the unrest began. the first time since the unrest began . he thanked the police and began. he thanked the police and the emergency services for their efforts to restore peace and welcomed how communities have countered the violence. this comes after prime minister sir

it didn't have the anas sarwar, and it received a lot of criticism. it sparked a lot of debate . so the creative debate. so the creative director, thomas jolly, has gone extra hard for the closing ceremony. i'm worried about that same here. apparently he's they've practised umpteenth times to get it right. apparently it's going to be a star studded hang on, is it the same director from the opening ceremony? >> same director. oh my goodness, that's what i'm saying. >> you know, he received a lot of death threats . the people of death threats. the people that acts that were involved received death threats. so this is the chance for the french to get it right. and i think it's going to be a star studded affair. there has been talk of tom cruise. he apparently is going to be scaling down the stade de france because, you know, they need to do the crossover between paris and los angeles. so apparently there's going to be a segment where he receives the olympic flags , then receives the olympic flags, then ends up at the hollywood sign. so look out for tom cruise tomorrow. there has been talk about maybe taylor swift performing, unfortunately, as we were tuning in, i can't wait because obviously we had heard what's happened this week about the unfortunate concerts that

she was supposed to take place in vienna that had to be cancelled. so maybe taylor might be available tomorrow, but they are going to be calling tomorrow's closing ceremony records. so basically it's based on a futuristic world where games do not exist. all right. okay. games don't exist. >> yeah. olympic games. >> yeah. olympic games. >> yeah. olympic games. >> yeah. so i'm not i'm not sure about that. >> oh . >> oh. >> oh. >> do we know anything about the detail? thomas jollie. yeah. do we know anything about the detail in terms of will it be based on the seine like we saw in the opening ceremony, which was a bit damp? >> they said they've kept that top secret. interesting. i hope they do it in the stadium, because i think when it was on the scent, it didn't really work. it was almost too exposed. it got a bit lost in intimate. apparently snoop dogg will be making a little appearance as well, so they are going to be bringing, i think there's going to be this corporate cross—reference between the french and the americans tomorrow, and usually they don't get along too well. >> so that's interesting. >> so that's interesting. >> it's going to be a two hour show, so tune in. >> they should have fired that guy from the opening ceremony. >> i think he'll be doing anything big for them again in the future. but i have to apologise after the first, you

attacks and saying that she just didn't know to what say, didn't know what to think. she was completely shattered and broken by it. and it will be the same now. she'd be worried about her. fans should be worried about their safety. >> same thing. and i think what's happened is that they've been happened. so close together. and that's the thing. and i've done an interview with jess phillips mp earlier this week and, you know, she was saying the same thing, that it's easy to target events like taylor's because you've got these big crowds of young people and women and girls. that's the connection. they're the targets. >> would you would you still go to wembley? if you had tickets? >> would you go? i would still go >> would you go? i would still 9° ' >> would you go? i would still go , definitely. but i would be apprehensive. >> i was looking at i was looking for tickets last night. you've already been. and i was looking to go again. >> twice as nice . >> twice as nice. >> twice as nice. >> twice is always nice. >> twice is always nice. >> but people have been selling their tickets. >> but people have been selling theirtickets. it's >> but people have been selling their tickets. it's a good point because people have been selling their tickets, haven't they been? >> and i think it's that terror that people feels. and that's when you let the terrorists win, when you let the terrorists win, when they affect what you're going to be doing on your day to day, and how we integrate as a society our entertainment events . society our entertainment events. >> but and when we're talking to will geddes yesterday, his security specialist, he was saying that the intelligence in

when i took up these races. and i had a race planned for the end of the year, and when i got pregnant, i thought i can do that. why can't i do that? yeah like why pregnancy is not powerless. like, and i know that from my first birth. so i just thought, like, if i can show the world what we're capable of is that your little girl there? >> sorry. >> sorry. >> yeah. on screen. >> yeah. on screen. >> yeah. she's. >> yeah. she's. >> she's so cute. what's her name? so. >> oh, so cute. >> you know, like, she she comes on the runs. you'll see in a minute. but she's trained with me the full time , so i've been me the full time, so i've been running with a pram. >> and you did this 50km two weeks ago. yeah. and you were you were five and a half months pregnant. now. it was five months pregnant? yeah. did you feel. i mean, did you feel the baby? i'm not sure if it's too early. did you feel the baby responding at all? you know what? >> i really feel like the baby played the exact game. it was like we were in such harmony. and i really mean that. when you're in the mountains and when you're in the mountains and when you're alone and it's just you and you know your thoughts, you get really deep. these are not

just physical pursuits or spiritual pursuits. and when i was at the top of these mountains, i was so connected to that baby, it was so euphoric. and honestly , when we finished, and honestly, when we finished, it just started to kick. oh, and it just started to kick. oh, and it was like, yeah, it's like you did it together. >> yeah, absolutely. >> yeah, absolutely. >> i was saying, thank you so much. thank you so much. and it really your energy is so important for the baby. yeah. what we give to ourselves and the energy we put in and put out is so important. and i know it will have an impact. >> i've got a question for you because i've always been fascinated by it. >> i'm always lucky it's choked up. >> yeah. so i was i was tearing up a little bit there. luckily the pictures were on screen. yeah, do you reckon that when you train and you're fit when you're pregnant and even as a man, when you conceive, do you reckon the baby and the foetus inherits any of that, that present level of fitness and the benefits? >> absolutely. and i don't just say that to blow up my own pursuit because i did that , 100% pursuit because i did that, 100% for sure. and i know that from having my little girl, i've exercised throughout my first

pregnancy, and even i do breathwork and cold water therapy, and my little girls watched that. and that's just her normal now. like she knows if she's at the top of a skate park, she'll use her breath. she instantly knows. so monkey see, monkey do right. instantly knows. so monkey see, monkey do right . and i think if monkey do right. and i think if we start now, yeah, we're really conditioning them. >> and it is this example that you're setting for your children as well, isn't it? it's not just as well, isn't it? it's not just a physical endurance, which is obviously something that you can do, but it's a holistic thing as well, isn't it? it's in the mind andifs well, isn't it? it's in the mind and it's on the mind. it's all about drive and determination and being determined to succeed. >> point. people were saying, why? why would you? why do you have to do that? like why do you have to do that? like why do you have to do that? like why do you have to do that? and i'm because if i'm the strongest that i can be, if i'm building mental resilience, if i'm breaking down old beliefs and patterns that we can and we can't do this , then can and we can't do this, then i'm conditioning my children to be able to do the same. and it's so important. >> i'm going to be a bit of a party pooper. now, some people might say that is it safe doing this when pregnant? what's the

science behind it? >> i think, it's case by case basis. i was a professional dancer for my whole life, so i've danced at a high level. so i've danced at a high level. so i've always used my body. and for the last couple of years , for the last couple of years, i've been training for ultramarathons. so actually, the advice i now, of course, seek professional advice. and they they were so supportive and they said, have you been doing that? and your body knows how to do that ? and evidently it was. that? and evidently it was. >> and you know your body best as well. the intuition you've got with your body and that's that. do you know what sex your baby is? >> it's a little boy. oh, what a beach. >> how lovely. >> how lovely. >> oh, congratulations. that is just the best news. and births. going to be a breeze now, isn't it? let's be honest. >> i'm having a home birth, so i feel like that was a preparation. >> and are you doing natural birth? >> yeah, of course you are. don't know, i asked. >> of course you are. >> try anyway. >> try anyway. >> you're gonna be amazing. you're an absolute inspiration . you're an absolute inspiration. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> you're mad. but we love it. thank you so much. what's next for you, >> so i'm currently building a company right now which encourages people to take their health into their own hands. so i'm building the soul hub , which i'm building the soul hub, which is about sharing these tools.
