coming together. now. joining me is steven, who's one of the exhibitors this year. steven, you're from the town of southport originally, aren't you? so what does it mean to be here today and to try and bring the town together at such a difficult time? >> obviously, the news last week or the week before was absolutely devastating, but something like this obviously bnngs something like this obviously brings everyone together and the sun is shining and we couldn't have a better day for it. really. >> it's all about that community spirit, isn't it? i mean, it's just open to the public and there are already dozens of people looking at your exhibition. so let's talk about your exhibition now. this isn't your exhibition now. this isn't your first time at the southport flower show, is it? no, you've doneit flower show, is it? no, you've done it many times before. do you want to talk a little bit about your exhibition? what was the inspiration behind it? yeah. >> so we just like to build very usable spaces, mainly hard landscapers, but we focus heavily on the planting and that's it really. we'd like to make them as usable as possible. >> yeah. now you've done quite well, haven't you? i can see down there you've won a large gold medal. we have . you want to gold medal. we have. you want to tell our viewers what that means

in the context of a flower show. >> so it's kind of the pretty much the top prize you can get. the top, top marks. so yeah, no, we've done really well and we're really, really pleased with it. >> so obviously the judging was on thursday wasn't it. what's the atmosphere been like here in southport? obviously we talk about the tragedy that happened, but it seems like people are kind of coming out and just bringing that spirit and real, real community spirit. >> you can notice it in everybody, wherever you go. it's people are really pulling together, you know, and it's really nice to see actually. yeah. and if, if people at home were, you know, considering coming out today, but, you know, perhaps thinking it might be a bit sombre, it might be a bit sad. >> what would you say to them? >> what would you say to them? >> oh, the mood is never sombre at southport flower show. it's a great day for it. plenty of things to see and plenty of reasons to be happy in a in a sad time. >> brilliant. thank you so much for joining us, steven. i mean, forjoining us, steven. i mean, this is just one of the phenomenal exhibitions here at southport flower show. and as steven just said, it's all about that community spirit, people coming together in a time that's having a very difficult time,

but they're trying to stick together to get through it . together to get through it. >> yeah. sophie reaper thank you for bringing that to us, and i hope bebe king's family find some comfort in the community coming together and those beautiful flowers behind you as well. so thank you for bringing that to us. >> i'm so glad the weather's decent as well. i know could have so easily been raining or you know, but the sun is shining, everyone's looking summery and her family. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> okay. we're joined now by housing commentator charlie lambdin and co—founder of sowebo club, anna stacy. good morning to you both. >> good morning, you two. >> good morning, you two. >> let's have a look at this story, shall we? because we saw the 15% pay rise, didn't for we, train drivers this week. but it's not the end of strike action, is it? there's more pain for travellers still to come. it would seem. >> charlie, i don't know who this is more disappointing for rail travellers or the government who thought they might have actually got this one over the line. so yet more disappointment and trouble for piling up for the government. i think, as well as as well as travellers. >> so this is we should clarify . >> so this is we should clarify. it's a separate dispute, isn't it? it's the one that they've

just agreed a deal for. so this is a slightly different line. but yeah, it does. it does kind of feel labour have come in and given everyone, you know, christmas presents, cards full of cash and then it's kind of like, oh yeah, by the way we're still going to be striking. >> still more to come. yeah it does seem that way. and border force officers now separately have announced four days of strike at the end of the summer holidays. i mean, that's going to be a nightmare, isn't it, for families coming home from their summer holidays? >> exactly. and you know, what's sad is it's always people who's paying sad is it's always people who's paying the price, like, you know, hard working people's workers that's paying the price of the strike. so i think if the community come together also, everyone thinks about the impact of, you know, how does it impact your daily travellers, the people that's living in here. you will just see that it's actually it's not about, you know, being paid . it's about know, being paid. it's about really working for, you know, having this country to be together and move forward. and, you know, the financial crisis. we need to come together at this time. >> yeah, it makes it difficult, doesn't it? because there is a

great fear, as you say, labour government have come in. they've settled with these public sector workers and many would say they deserved that, that pay rise. but what comes down the track, pardon the pun next, because once you've opened the door, you're almost saying, well, anybody can come forward and ask for a pay rise now and then we'll settle with you. you've set that precedent for yourself, haven't you? really? >> absolutely. and i think i often think that the new government must be feeling a bit like they had the excitement for their new job a few weeks in. it's not quite as exciting as they hoped it might be. and it's getting a bit harder because, you know, joking aside, as dennis says, it's it impacts everybody. and so we really i think everyone's got to hope that one way or another, these problems can be overcome with the border force, with aslef guys ' the border force, with aslef guys , so that people can go guys, so that people can go about their lives because it's enough of a struggle as it is, like you said, cost of living crisis continues to bite, and until these problems get resolved , it is joe public resolved, it is joe public getting to work and charlie , getting to work and charlie, what would you make of the first six weeks of this labour government? >> because it's been, you know,

a pretty turbulent time, to say the least. and they have rowed back on a lot of things. they said, for example, i mean, i played a clip on my show last night of sir keir starmer in parliament in may shouting at rishi sunak, saying, how dare you suggest you're going to scrap the winter fuel allowance for pensioners? and what do they do? they scrap the winter fuel allowance, they said there's going to be no tax rises for working people, whatever that meant. but of course rachel reeves now saying, well, probably capital gains tax and inheritance tax will go up in october. what do you make of them? are they are they under shaky ground? >> i do think they are. i think it's very disappointing for everyone. i think it's worth everyone. i think it's worth everyone reminding themselves in government that you're not just there to serve the people who voted for you. your job is to serve everybody, whether they voted for you or not. and first and foremost, i think people in this country are feeling frightened and scared and not as safe as they were feeling. just a few months ago. and so i was i think an opportunity was missed to call for calm a few weeks ago. >> but you're not allowed to say that now because you'll be called a bigot or far right saying by saying you're you're

scared or, you know, fearful for your safety, i think i don't know any community that isn't scared. >> that's the point. i don't know any community that isn't scared. any community that doesn't feel less safe than they did a few months ago. and i worry that the government's job, first and foremost, is to keep all of us safe. right. and i think they missed an opportunity to demonstrate leadership and what you really want in a crisis is calm. and i just saw everyone getting less and less calm, more and more wound up, more and more conflict, more and more division. and that doesn't help anybody or anything . so i would anybody or anything. so i would appeal to the government. they try harder to actually bring unity and calm everywhere . unity and calm everywhere. >> well, let us know what you think on that one. gbnews.com/yoursay have just had a view in from. will i be able to find it now? this is it, janice, who says, are we heading for a winter of discontent? well, i hope not, janice, but do keep those views coming in in us. let's have a look at this story, shall we? in the telegraph today? it's the front page. it's about lucy letby. and this is an admission from the

cps, the crown prosecution service, that they made mistakes in terms of the evidence that was presented in court, >> well, i don't know if to laugh or cry about this story is just it is such a big story. and the impact was horrendous. and now saying that they made a mistake is unfortunately, you can't really go forward with that. i think if she needs to go to court again and re—evaluate the, you know, there should be a retrial. >> yeah. i mean, she already had one, didn't she? >> unfortunately. >> unfortunately. >> i mean a retrial over baby k. yeah. and during that retail the retrial, the prosecutors told the court that the door swipe data. so essentially showing who was coming in and out of the ward, was , mislabelled. so there ward, was, mislabelled. so there were mistakes as to who was and who wasn't on the ward at the time, which you would think would be pretty central to this, to this case, i think given the amount of money a case like this costs, the taxpayer, simple administrative information errors, which is what this is

apparently are completely unacceptable when it's not just the court time and taxpayers money that's potentially being wasted here. >> it's justice itself. okay. you know, because if the conviction relied heavily on a piece of evidence that put her in a certain place at a certain time, and now the evidence is in question, i agree. what choice do you have? but to revisit it and go, well, does that undermine the conviction? >> so the cps told the daily telegraph, who unearthed this story. they said the discrepancy discovered was related to one doorin discovered was related to one door in the neonatal intensive care unit, and that it had been corrected for the retrial. that's fine, but what it does is it fuels this growing, especially online sentiment, that there's this movement that lucy letby has been stitched up and she's not guilty and that the evidence was circumstantial. so not a good look for the cps? >> no, it certainly isn't , >> no, it certainly isn't, right. let's have a look at this story in the telegraph. charlie. and this is about anglican church, the church of england dropping the word church in favour of something a bit more

modern sounding. words such as community. why are we afraid of the word church? >> well, that's that's my question . i mean, you got to question. i mean, you got to assume that they think it solves some kind of problem, but i think, you know, there are a lot of people who feel very strongly about their particular religious institution, whatever they all have different names, don't they, and if you rename one, do you have to rename all of them? can we no longer use an individual name for a different religions community buildings? >> are you religious? >> are you religious? >> i'm spiritual. >> i'm spiritual. >> i'm spiritual. >> i sound like him. >> i sound like him. >> no, no, certainly. don't. don't get me started on me. >> do i believe in a god? yes. do i believe in any of the particular gods that are offered to us? still undecided, >> i'm like you. i said exactly the same. >> you do? exactly. >> you do? exactly. >> what about you? are you particularly religious, >> well, i'm not a proper religious. i want, i want, i want, you know , name myself as want, you know, name myself as a religious, but i really do respect religions, and i. it's something that you can't negotiate or can't really , like

negotiate or can't really, like rename and just. yeah, i think it's just it's more restricted now of like, thinking, oh, let's just name church as a community, we have bigger problems to think about. and i think a lot of problems that's happening now, people striking because they feel they can't really express themselves. so we're adding towards that problem actually. then just giving the people to be free to practice religion, to just, you know, be themselves. so i don't see it as a positive thing, unfortunately. >> is it a sign of where we're at in this secular society? yes, we're moving more towards that. the anglican church feels that the only way to be relevant is to take away any reference to church, to church going to being religious. >> i think if the substance of what you're offering is good, it doesn't matter what it's called, you know? so if people are going to find solace and peace and a place that makes them feel better, they're not going to care too much about what it's called. so i think relabelling it, rebranding it. i don't know, maybe it'll help, maybe it won't, but it's going to

certainly upset a lot of people, i should think, and people whose religion is important to them and kind of central to their lives. >> you can imagine absolutely. >> you can imagine absolutely. >> there's a reason justin welby is nicknamed by some quarters the archbishop of woke. maybe this adds fuel to the fire. who knows, okay, one more story. i love this one. north korea is to open its border for holidaymakers and tourists . so holidaymakers and tourists. so yeah. do you reckon you'd be? apparently they've got ski slopes as well. >> yeah, i've seen a documentary where you can go and ski in nonh where you can go and ski in north korea, but you are with guides and they do not let you look too far over the mountains. >> you might not come back. >> you might not come back. >> you might get pushed off the edge. >> i'd be interested to go. i'd be interested. i could go in my capacity of a journalist, and i don't think they'd probably. that would be risky. >> yeah. no. i've loved travelling my whole life, and i've always enjoyed going to places that people don't normally go. and i, out of sheer curiosity. i would love to see what it's like in any other country, but would you get to see the real north korea? >> i doubt you would. i think you'd probably be on a very set route. >> guides. yeah. and i'd go, yeah, maybe we should organise a

gb news documentary or something. yeah. >> or outside broadcast from an obe live now. >> suella in pyongyang. >> suella in pyongyang. >> elianne. >> elianne. >> i'd be up for it. i would, but i don't think they'd let us in any. >> what's it like in north korea? yes, ben. everything's amazing. it's perfect. ten out of ten. absolutely no problems. >> yeah. anas sarwar do you go, >> yeah. anas sarwar do you go, >> i think i've got different places that i need to go to first before going to north korea, for sure. so it's not in my pocket list. quite the maldives. no no, i know what you're saying. >> well, really good to see you both. we'll see you in an hour. thank you very much indeed. do stay with us. still to come. we're going to be heading to the us to see the latest developments in the battle for the white house. is biden still biding his time away as president next, as an east london neighbourhood has slammed the popular bakery chain, which plans to open on their high street. >> what's all the dough about ? >> what's all the dough about? jonathan sacerdoti will be here to update us and also i'll share with you again this story i had this morning. it's very shocked from greggs. i was in greggs bakery, something happened and then i tweeted about it and it's

all gone a bit mad. i'll reveal all gone a bit mad. i'll reveal all in two minutes. back in a

welcome back. 1025 ben and ellie with you on saturday morning live. hope you're well. a few emails have come in. richard. good morning. you say it's only the beginning of the strikes. the unions now have to work out how far they can push it and how much they can take over politically. jd, you're talking about my greggs experience, which will reveal all in a minute. i don't know why i find it so funny, actually. >> you are really cracking yourself up with this one. yes jd 1955 has been in touch. i don't think that's your real name. says i wonder if the pensioners that have just had their winter fuel allowance taken away if they decide to go on strike, will sir keir give them money because he seems to be giving to in everybody else? >> well, no, he's taking from the pensioners and nana. lulu, you say you should try their ice

cream. ellie horse ice cream. yes. apparently it's very horsey lol. but again it's supposed to be good for you, not my bag. >> apparently it's very musky and it does taste of horse and it takes a long time to get the taste of horse out of your mouth, so i think it's a no from me nanny lulu. but thank you even if it is beneficial. apparently milk isn't as tangible. we'll have to put this to our farmer later. we're going to our farmer later. we're going to talk to the farmer who is from the only horse dairy in the united kingdom. so we'll ask him what it tastes like. apparently a bit better than the ice cream. >> maybe he can send us some samples. >> you first, you first, you first. you couldn't pay me. you actually couldn't pay me. do you want to talk about your greggs situation? because you've witnessed a bad thing this morning? >> okay. it's kind of connected with the news cycle. so we're going to cover in a second this story about gales coming under attack for, well, by alleged anti—semites. and so on, i went to greggs this morning, got a bacon sarnie, a coffee and a porridge, and this guy walked in. he cleared all the top shelves of the breakfast goods and just walked out. and i was, here's my tweet of the day. this was about two hours ago. i was

just laughing. >> just took everything from the shelves in his hand. >> he just walked in his hands and walked out. i said to the staff, did you guys see that? and they just laughed and shook their head and said, yeah, yeah, as if it happens all the time. >> it probably does happen all the time. >> and they said, oh, we can't do anything about it. and i was just laughing. didn't particularly exercise me anyway. theni particularly exercise me anyway. then i followed it up with another tweet. have we got it? i said, well, i paid a fiver for this bacon sandwich, porridge and a coffee almost free because i thought it was quite cheap. >> now in london i would say thatis >> now in london i would say that is quite cheap for a whole meal now. >> well, i've had so many vitriolic responses to that. some people said to some people thatis some people said to some people that is an almost free, though it's all relative. and someone else said, what kind of world do you live in where £5 for breakfast is cheap? i mean, am i being out of touch here? >> i think in london that is a cheap breakfast. elsewhere in the country. that's a lot of money. >> that's bargain basement. >> that's bargain basement. >> there's lots of people still. thatis >> there's lots of people still. that is a lot of money to spend on breakfast. yeah, i fear i've done. you felt like it was bargain. >> i thought it was. i'm used to paying. this is in central london, by the way, and i'm not

out of touch. i know i'm not. but in central london, you can pay up but in central london, you can pay up to a tenner for breakfast. oh, yeah? well, a coffee itself can be £4, couldn't it? >> 4 or £5. »- >> 4 or £5. >> especially in this next bakery chain, which i will segue very nicely into because i went in there this morning and it was £4.50 for a coffee. >> you're out of touch as well. well, maybe i am. well, i didn't actually buy it, so, that was that. and now an east london neighbourhood is attempting to block said popular chain bakery from their high street. >> yes . walthamstow, which saw >> yes. walthamstow, which saw a crowd of thousands of anti—racism protesters last week in the wake of the so—called far right riots , now want to take right riots, now want to take down the popular coffee shop gail's in a, quote, fight against gentrification. there are 131 branches of gail's in the uk, i think mostly in london, to be honest, and plans for 35 more this year. i know there's one in horsham in west sussex. my neck of the woods. there are reports that the boycott is political and that's amid the chain's israel links and the chairman's support for anti lockdowns and brexit. >> well, the petition to block gail's has now gathered over 700 signatures in walthamstow. well

joining us now to discuss this is broadcaster jonathan sacerdoti . very good to see you sacerdoti. very good to see you this morning jonathan. and what do you understand is the problem that some of these walthamstow residents have with gail's. do you think it's political? >> i read in some of the reporting that there are those who've expressed opinions against gail's because of its association or connections with israel. it was founded by israelis, and in fact, there are people that i've met several times. so apparently the fact that it was started by and once owned by israelis has put off some people in that area from opening in the neighbourhood. of course, they have literally no ownership, no interest in it anymore. they sold the whole thing. but i think it just reveals that those sorts of boycotters who in the past have said they were really trying to boycott very specific israeli organisations, israeli companies, in to order discourage, say, settlements in disputed territories in the west bank, actually just want to boycott anything to do with israel. i mean, i know those

people who are no longer involved, i reiterate, and they are peace loving people there on the left in israel. they're against this government. the left in israel. they're against this government . they're against this government. they're the kind of people actually, who presumably the boycotters would want to encourage in the land of israel, unless , of course, their israel, unless, of course, their real objection to israelis is just that. they're jewish, they exist, and they're in the levant in the first place. >> i used to work at a water company when i was 16. it was my first job and we had customers calling up saying they wanted their water metres out because they were made in israel. so and that was hold on. that was about 15, 16 years ago. >> well i saw a thing online actually, of one of these palestine groups that were saying they wanted to go and shut down the uk headquarters of teva, which is the company that makes 1 in 5 of the drugs we use on the nhs. i was actually there covering kemi badenoch trip to israel when she was in the government, and i saw the facilities there that make it possible for britain to enjoy cheap generic drugs again. another piece of extremely good trade that israel and britain have. trade that israel and britain have . those people want to shut have. those people want to shut down the very things that are

making the nhs work. >> do these petitions work, though? aren't they just a bit of a load of hot air online? i mean, do they actually work? does anyone really pay attention to them apart from the, you know, the people signing them? >> well, i think they work to show us the hypocrisy of the people that are necessarily showing themselves up. i mean, again, we look at the idea of two tier policing, for example, in relation to anti—semitism . in relation to anti—semitism. many jewish people over recent times have been saying that while, of course, everybody supports violent protesters at the moment, being fast tracked through the courts and possibly into prison where it's actually valid, there are many comparisons coming out at the moment. for example, that man who was put in jail very quickly for his who the f is allah comment was contrasted with reports over those people who drove through a very jewish area a few years ago with megaphones on their cars, palestinian plo flags over the bonnets shouting f the jews rape their daughters! those people were let off without any charges. so the contrast between the two things,

i think, just shows that there is an element of two tier policing. and when it comes, of course, i believe it . policing. and when it comes, of course, i believe it. it's evident to anybody in the jewish community who looks at how those hate marches took place. every single week with violence, with chants against jews, both in arabic and in english, threats against jews and those people weren't fast tracked through the courts. even the rape their daughters crew who they had identified, they knew who was driving. they had tracking data. they knew who the cars belonged to. and yet they said there wasn't enough evidence to put them through the courts. those people are free on the streets now, and i don't need to remind people that on the 7th of october in israel, what did the palestinian terrorists and many civilians do? they entered israel and f the jews and raped their daughters. this is a threat that we need to take seriously from extremist islam and the police and the crown prosecution service didn't in that case, and they're showing themselves up now by being so quick and rigorous with what they call exclusively far right protesters at the moment, i must say, i'm totally against the

violence of the protests at the moment, but the same resolve should be shown against those who displayed anti—semitic lust for rape and murder. what do you make of sadiq khan comments? >> was it last week saying he now feels unsafe as a muslim in britain or indeed his own city? because i did . on one of my because i did. on one of my other shows i said, oh sadiq, maybe you know how the minority jewish community feel in britain over the past ten months. what do you make of his words? >> i'm very sorry to hear. if that's how he feels. of course, he is somebody that has a great deal of control over these things within our community. so if he feels that there is a threat against minorities such as his own, then he's in a great position to do something about it. jews, of course, regular jews on the street don't have the platform or the power that he does in order to make change. >> do you think sadiq did enough, though, to kind of defend or has done enough currently to defend the jews against some of the hateful rhetoric we've seen at those marches? no, i don't think he's been a bit lacklustre. >> i think sadiq khan has very much held back when it came to doing anything about the

protests, for example, many of those protests hate marches, whatever you want to call them. those anti—israel marches took place on saturday mornings. the jewish sabbath. they went past synagogues. jews were even on occasion told that they should move their regular prayer service time because there could be some sort of threat to them coming out from the people in the marches. you'll remember the holocaust memorial was covered up because the march was going to go past it . up because the march was going to go past it. now, up because the march was going to go past it . now, holocaust to go past it. now, holocaust memorials are actually there to remind us of the horrors of anti—semitism and violence against jews. those are the very people actually, who need reminding. we should put up more holocaust memorials on their paths rather than cover up in a sort of blue tarpaulin burka . sort of blue tarpaulin burka. those that already exist. and sadiq khan didn't do as far as i can see, anything with his position as london mayor to make jews feel safer or more secure. and now coming out and saying this, i do have sympathy for him if he feels at risk. but i don't have a great deal of sympathy when he didn't do very much for the jewish community, hasn't come out boldly to condemn the sorts of things that have been

happening to jewish people. and let's remember the reason this is happening against jewish people. it was ignited this violence against jews, this this bloodlust against jews, the chanting against jews, the chanting against jews, the chanting of death in arabic against jews, the arabic war songs on the streets of london. all of these things were ignited by the 7th of october last year, when palestinian terrorists murdered, raped and kidnapped. >> jewish view. the whole conflict was raging. of course, it was long before october the 7th, but indeed that isolated incident. and i will say someone said the other week how that wouldn't excuse even if there's a conflict for 75 years. >> that doesn't excuse people having these views against jewish people and carrying out this sort of violence. and violent rhetoric on the streets of london. jewish people are british people. and these threats that are against jewish people. by the way, i need to remind everybody, are also threats against british values and britain, the same threats that are against jews for freedom of worship or freedom of existence are the very threats that see an ariana grande concert blown up, that see people carrying out death

actions, carrying out terrorist actions, carrying out terrorist actions, blowing themselves up, knifing people. i remember people having their throats cut in london bridge. i remember in westminster, the car ramming. all of these things are the result of islamic extremist terrorism. this is what's lying at the heart of people's discontent and unrest at the moment. now, the fact that it's being expressed in such a problematic way, a violent way, and by people with a problematic way of expression is because there's nobody serious actually representing their views in the mainstream. and so people who feel very disenfranchised are doing absolutely the wrong thing. and should be punished for it. but politicians need to start taking these concerns much more seriously. >> okay. jonathan sacerdoti, thank you very much . good to see thank you very much. good to see you this morning. thanks, jonathan. just on claims of two tier policing, sir mark rowley, the commissioner of the metropolitan police, has of course said that the claims are nonsense. he says that people promoting such a view are potentially endangering officers. he says the government have also rejected the claims. >> okeydokey. lots more coming

up. showbiz. taylor swift, of course, is at wembley. yes. have you been at the second time? i haven't been, but i'm trying to get tickets and more. my bag. the premier league is back today. it kicked off last night and have the latest on the trump harris white house

tick. >> welcome back to saturday morning live and the us presidential race rumbles on as under pressure donald trump this week was told to quit whining about his democrat rival kamala harris by his republican colleague nikki haley. >> put a sock in it. haley, who previously battled trump for the republican presidential nomination , said, i want this nomination, said, i want this campaign to win, but the campaign to win, but the campaign is not going to win. talking about kamala's crowd sizes, it's not going to win. talking about her race. and it's not going to win. talking about whether she's dumb. you can't win on those things. >> well, tell us more. we're delighted to be joined now by journalist and author nelson aspen. really good to see you this morning, nelson . and this

this morning, nelson. and this is common sense from nikki haley, is it not? focus on the policy rather than personal attacks, surely. >> good morning guys. i think it's a little rich that the old guard has returned to the revamped trump campaign . his revamped trump campaign. his former rival nikki haley, whom he said he would welcome to go on the campaign trail and now he is reportedly enlisted the aid of former democratic presidential candidate tulsi gabbard, who notoriously went against kamala harris in 2019 dunng against kamala harris in 2019 during the debates. and he's engaged tulsi gabbard to help him prepare for the debates. she's going to play the role of kamala harris to help him launch what's going to be anticipated as very ugly personal attacks. and donald trump said this week he thinks he's entitled to make those personal attacks after the quote unquote , lawfare that the quote unquote, lawfare that the democrats have waged against him in the us court system. so it's

going to get a lot uglier before it gets better. and it doesn't help that this week , time help that this week, time magazine basically deified kamala harris's candidacy by putting an illustration of her on the cover that made her look like joan of arc. guys >> yeah, yeah, they the media has a knack of doing that with kamala. so what are the polls saying, nelson? are they? is kamala still, creating a big lead? good vocabulary . there. is lead? good vocabulary. there. is she is she still extending her lead? >> it's she is extending her lead and extending her sort of p0p lead and extending her sort of pop culture popularity. and as those races tighten, what's interesting to note is that where trump always had the edge was in border security and economics. and kamala harris has definitely tightened her grip on the economics front. she came out in an event with her boss, president biden, the boss, the boss she's taken over from to announce that she wants to

enforce a $1.7 trillion in economic platforms that she wants to basically give away $1.7 trillion to help fund the middle class. trump contends that that would basically make america a third world country. so and wants to know , which is so and wants to know, which is a fair question, since she's been the number two in the white house for the last three and a half years, why hasn't she done something sooner. >> it was quite interesting, wasn't it, to see joe biden in his first rally since stepping aside, him appearing alongside kamala harris this week. and in terms of biden, is it possible for him to actually accomplish anything in the remaining months of his presidency, or is he just a lame duck? >> he is the lamest of lame duck. there are no feet on that duck. there are no feet on that duck. it's a shame. it's a shame to watch guys, because then whoever orchestrated that appearance together knows something about theatrics because they had her come out first. everybody was very enthusiastic . and then when the enthusiastic. and then when the president came out, people

started to leave . the whole mood started to leave. the whole mood went down. i mean, it was it. they knew that they needed to get kamala on first because people didn't stick around for the president. and it is a little worrisome with months to go. yet in his presidency , if go. yet in his presidency, if joe biden isn't fit enough to run the country for the next term, is he still fit enough to run the country for the remainder of his term? so we're just crossing our fingers and knocking on wood and hoping the duck can swim. >> nelson. aspen live from new york. thank you very much. appreciate it . still to come. appreciate it. still to come. >> he's very good, isn't he? >> he's very good, isn't he? >> he's very good, isn't he? >> he's good. great talker. yeah. have we got a lot of time or we have to go to a break, >> i don't know. >> i don't know. >> i'm saying break. sorry. i was going to tell you about this new netflix series i'm watching about us politics. tell me anyway. i'll tell you later, soon. coming up, we'll be joined by jp from brigit's bakery to celebrate their 10th anniversary and national cupcake day. so we're going to be scoffing some cakes a minute. back two minutes. >> piece of cake. see you in

split it in two halves on one half. you do the cream and jam , half. you do the cream and jam, the other half the jam and cream. then if you feel like people looking at you, you should squash it together . and should squash it together. and if really the tension is quite high, you should give your scone to the nearest person holding, a chef's jacket. >> there you go. >> there you go. >> that sounds too diplomatic. >> that sounds too diplomatic. >> yeah, very diplomatic answer. but you are all about the technique, aren't you? and you've got a special technique for eating cupcakes, which, absolutely. now, should we go for it? yeah. let's get stuck in. let's go for it. so, what would you recommend in terms of flavours, your belgians? i'd suggest you like chocolate. >> i do love chocolate. however, it's all about the icing for me . it's all about the icing for me. so my preference goes for a cream cheese icing . i'm trying cream cheese icing. i'm trying to watch my weight and working at it . it's so to watch my weight and working at it. it's so very tempting to try everything , but my favourite try everything, but my favourite would be actually the carrot cupcake. >> well, i'm going to try that one if that's okay, because i think i'm the same as you. i'd like carrot can you grab me carrot? >> which which flavours have we got here jp so this is the carrot one. >> that's pistachio which is

we're looking at plenty of sunny spells. fine weather though, still quite breezy with showers across scotland in particular. the reason for this is low pressure sits to the north of the uk, the azores high just extends a ridge of high pressure across central southern areas , across central southern areas, keeping it largely settled through much of the weekend. for saturday afternoon, quite a bit of cloud across the uk, particularly across the north and the west. we could see some showers for northern ireland, northern england into parts of scotland too, but there will be sunny spells in between . further sunny spells in between. further south will generally see the sunniest skies across southeast england and here temperatures reaching around 24, possibly 25 celsius high teens to low 20s under the cloud across the rest of the uk. quite breezy. conditions across scotland will make it feel quite chilly for the evening time. a few showers, perhaps for wales and the west country, but plenty of hazy sunshine. temperatures in the low 20s. showers further north across northern ireland into southern scotland. northern england, 1 or 2 on the heavy side and a few showers across scotland too, and remaining

quite blustery, particularly across the highlands. temperatures here 14 or 15 celsius into the evening time, but add on that wind it will be quite chilly overnight. we'll generally see dry conditions continue across much of england and wales. just 1 or 2 showers across the north and the west. showers also fade for much of northern ireland. parts of scotland , just a few continuing scotland, just a few continuing towards the highlands and remaining quite breezy here elsewhere. generally light winds, we could see 1 or 2 mist patches developing temperatures in towns and cities holding up in towns and cities holding up in double figures falling into single figures in the countryside. so a bright, fresh start to sunday. plenty of sunny spells to come through the day. few showers are also possible by the afternoon across parts of scotland , northern ireland, but scotland, northern ireland, but most places staying dry and still remaining breezy across north—west scotland. two into the afternoon. plenty of sunshine that will lift temperatures again to around 25 celsius. that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather

and we'll just start with the breaking line. in fact, we're just hearing reports today that the former newsreader, huw edwards is now allegedly facing assault charges of a 27 year old man in a west end club after sending explicit text messages. we understand it follows, of course, earlier revelations that the 62 year old admitted receiving child sex images and videos. the alleged victim claims edwards, who continued despite being asked to stop, was brazenly aggressive and got off on the risk of getting caught. it's also alleged in the daily mail this morning and the sun newspaper that the former bbc star threatened to kill anyone who looked at the man whom he described as his possession. it comes as the bbc is now demanding edwards returns over £200,000 of his salary following his arrest on other charges . a his arrest on other charges. a private funeral for one of the

>> well , today already we have >> well, today already we have what has been described as an anti—fascism rally taking place here in the market square in the centre of the town of dover. it's been organised by kent stand up to racism and kent anti—racism network. in fact, i'll just move out of the way and let you take a little look at what we have here, probably around, i don't know, 50 to 70 people maybe a little bit more. we've got to the speech stage of the statement. the gentleman that's on the stage at the moment was just explaining how in his view, the protests that we've seen against illegal immigration have been sort of taken over by the far right. he says that is an attack on the left wing as well. and they've got to do everything they can to show people who arrive here by small boat that they that they are welcome here in this country. today's event was organised in response to a protest which was planned or

rumoured to have been planned, described by as the people's protest that's going to be taking place down at the waterfront on the seafront that was scheduled for 1130. although i'm hearing rumours that it has actually now been cancelled, they were calling for people to come down and stop what they were describing as the illegal invasion of our country. they said it was time to stand up and be counted . but as i say, we be counted. but as i say, we have seen some reports that that may well have been cancelled. however, this protest against what they're describing as nazis, the far right is very much going ahead now. in previous years, what we've seen is the, the anti—immigration protests would take place on the seafront down by the western jet foil. that's the processing area for those who arrive to this country via small boat and outside the travelodge as well. that's where that process would take place. these guys would

start here in the market, and then they would head down. and of course, police are very keen to make sure that there will be no clashes. so it yet remains to be seen whether the anti—immigration protest goes ahead, whether these guys attempt to go down to the seafront and whether anything develops from that. i'll just step out of the way again. i mean, obviously you can see there, obviously a number of signs we've got dover stand up to racism at the enemy doesn't arrive by boat. he arrives by limousine. well, it depends if you're, piloting a yacht. i suppose we have, also a lot of palestinian flags for palestine and the occupation. i think it's one of these things that we've seen in the past where the pro—palestine movement has kind of merged with the sort of pro—immigration anti far right in inverted commas, movement as well. and you know, arguably a lot of people saying that those causes are kind of merging. we get this kind of professional

left wing protester that's kind of coming down. they support a number of different causes and they're all on display here today. they're all on display here today . quite a lot of police today. quite a lot of police around three police vans, quite around three police vans, quite a heavy police presence, but no trouble so far. >> and ray, i don't know if you can make it out, but what are they chanting in the background behind you? is it appropriate for you to share with us? >> yeah, they've been chanting whose streets? our streets . stop whose streets? our streets. stop the fascists! refugees in far right out . and, refugees are right out. and, refugees are welcome here as well. and the gentleman was explaining that he's been told by police that he can't use the term nazi. and so he was urging everybody not to use that term. otherwise they could face some kind of issues with the police. and he was saying, you can call them far right. they're being filmed as well. there's two police officers over here filming everything that takes place here. and of course, any criminality i'm sure they will be acting upon.

>> okay. ray addison. stay safe. thank you very much indeed . thank you very much indeed. >> i just don't understand why there's palestine flags at these things. what's palestine got to do with it? >> the movement's merging. yeah, it would seem. let us know what you think . gbnews.com/yoursay. you think. gbnews.com/yoursay. >> okay, we're joined now by housing commentator charlie lamdin and co—founder of sowebo club, anna stacy. good morning. welcome back. hi, guys, should we get stuck into some of the stories doing the rounds today, what about the guardian ? first what about the guardian? first of all, the home office unit there is set to kerb teenage violent crime and yvette cooper, the home secretary. she has said teenagers have it, quote , much, teenagers have it, quote, much, much harder than previous generations because of knives , generations because of knives, mental health pressures and social media. she's initiating a young futures unit to be based in the home office, and as part of an ambition to halve violent crime in a decade. good idea. do teenagers have it harder ? teenagers have it harder? >> undoubtedly. i think definitely, because you don't see this kind of behaviour unless they've got it harder. when things are good for young people, you've got to get a lot less violent crime from young

people. so i agree with that. i think halving violent crime in ten years is a bit of a mediocre target. it's a bit lame. i think a lot of people who are victims of violent crime would rather it was pretty much eliminated within one parliament term, and i think everyone would be impressed if that was achieved. >> so now what do you make of it? do you think teenagers have it? do you think teenagers have it harder now than previous generations . generations. >> i'm not. i think it's hard. i think the problem starts actually in the in their homes. i encourage the government to find a solutions to, you know , find a solutions to, you know, contribute to this issue. but i think the problem and the main issue will be with their parents and their homes and it's, you know, if they focus in raising those children and teenagers and giving them role models , there giving them role models, there is the source of the problem. and i think that's what needs to be encouraged. and this is what needs to be looked at. me and my partner trailer got a social

club called sobo and our last event we hosted, tim campbell, and it was really great that we had children and teenagers and young boys. i won't call them children, but having those gatherings and having they've been encouraged by their parents to come to our social events and just given role models to those teenagers and kids. this is where i find the solution is rather than the government trying to find a solution about it, charlie , what do you make of it, charlie, what do you make of this theory about fatherless homes and the need for a male presence in the household? >> because it's more common than not, i guess, these days where kids are growing up, i mean, i did growing up without a father in the household. does that have anything to do with it? >> i don't think it's possible to generalise about that. i think i know lots of very, very well balanced people who grew up without a father , i think it without a father, i think it goesit without a father, i think it goes it goes either way. so you can't generalise about that. but i think just stable parenting of, of any kind is important for any kid. and if kids feel safe and loved, they generally turn out

okay. whoever it is that's loving them and making them feel safe. >> well, in us this links on doesn't it? sadly to a story in the telegraph today about zombie knives. so these are these huge kind of machete style blades that have a serrated edge. and then they have a sharp machete side as well , then they have a sharp machete side as well, so this is owners of zombie knives are to be paid to hand over their weapons to police before they are officially banned. do you think this could work that young people will be handing over their knives? it's like if they're paying for them, i'll definitely i'm pro any movement that's trying to minimise or you know, help the crime that's happening at the moment. >> now , it's like going to the >> now, it's like going to the doctors with a massive disease and they're giving you painkillers. i think the sauce is starts with the basis of the family. and if they are actually well balanced, well raised and encouraged to actually be the best version of themselves. and i think this is where it actually starts. and ends. >> really interesting. i just had a view in from joan. let me

try and grab it up saying she thinks it's harder for kids because they've been so mollycoddled that they're not actually prepared for the realities of this world. do you think she's got a point? >> i do agree, if you're not exposed to any trials and hardship and tribulations gradually in a measured way, in a safe way, as you grow up, then when you do start to encounter real life, real hardships , real life, real hardships, you're much less better prepared to take them on. >> but i think it's also how you respond to those trials and hardships. do you sit there and say, okay, this happened to me. i had a rubbish childhood . i had a rubbish childhood. something happened. my dad was this or my mum was that. am i going to be a victim and repeat that behaviour, or am i going to use it as a basis to do the opposite behaviour? you know, i'm going to raise my own kids and make sure they have the life that i didn't have, you know. so i think even if you still go through the trial and tribulations, it's how you respond to it. but i think you just need good people around you to kind of make sure it's the whole victimhood narrative, which is why people like harry and meghan, sorry to go back to them, why harry and meghan caused so much criticism,

because they just go on and on and on about stuff that's happened to them and portray that victim victimhood agenda. >> what do you think? >> what do you think? >> i think that's exactly what ben said. and i think being a victim, it does get you out of a lot of problems. and it's encouraged. so if you really take responsibility and really find role models that created something to look up for, this is where the shift will start. so absolutely start. it's a mindset. and i think if the community come together encouraging the mindset of growth , role models, leadership, growth, role models, leadership, then we will start seeing a massive difference with the upcoming generation. >> yeah, we've just had a view in from christine, who says, i suspect many of the problems with teenagers and mental illness is a result of the reduction in the nuclear family. she says that the benefits of a nuclear family, and even more so, an extended family, are well documented, and it's increasingly evidenced these days while the problems in society. do you keep those views coming in just very, very briefly, charlie, we've got a housing story that you wanted to run us through because you think

that the headline is a little bit. that's right. >> it's so every month the ons puts out average house price movements. apart from it being about six months delayed from when they actually traded. it's really important that everyone knows that this average doesn't apply knows that this average doesn't apply anywhere. okay, all four countries of the uk have got different numbers. so scotland 6.4 for these for this month. this month's data scotland they've said 2.7% average rate scotland 6.4. northern ireland sorry. northern ireland is 6.4. scotland's 4.3, wales is 1.8 and england is just 2.4. so that's a national average. >> it doesn't mean anything. it doesn't mean anything. it doesn't mean anything. it doesn't mean anything. it doesn't mean anything. >> then you break it down by house type, okay. flats have only gone up half a percent, whereas semis have gone up 3%. so and then you change it regionally and it changes again. and then it's whether it's freehold or leasehold. so the point is if you actually need to know what's happening to house pnces know what's happening to house prices in your local area, national figures are very unhelpful. whatever the market is doing, they're never indicative of what's really happening. so. >> so who's pumping this out? the ons. >> yeah, it's okay. i mean, there's nothing wrong with

saying this is the uk's overall, but the trouble is that it comes across when the headlines are reported as everyone's house price just changed 2.7%. that's not true. >> i feel like i mean, i don't know what you think. i think the housing market feels pretty flat in the south east at the moment. >> it is. transaction volumes are way, way down. last tax year had the lowest transaction volumes almost on record, i think. >> but people are waiting for another interest rate cut aren't they. is that what's kind of holding the market back. and once you see those we'll have more. >> it definitely has an influence. >> but actually it's never been harder to afford a decent home than it is now. harder to afford a decent home than it is now . yeah. that's than it is now. yeah. that's what people want to buy homes. everyone if they could go and buy a home. certainly the problem is, is that and reports like the ons report don't help this. it's very easy to overstate. and so people's expectations of house prices when they're selling are too high. and the buyers and also the lenders who are going to value them are going, no, it's not worth that much. it's less. so it is very hard to buy a house. interest rates don't make as much difference as everyone thinks. it doesn't change how much you can borrow. so you know

you've got to talk to your mortgage broker to find out how much you can borrow. the interest rate is definitely a factor, and everyone gets excited about interest rates , excited about interest rates, but actually where they are now is kind of where the long term average is anyway. >> interesting. yeah. and also people do going back sort of to the previous conversation about kids and nuclear families. i think lots of people, young people do want families and children, but they want houses first and safe environments, and they just can't get on the ladden they just can't get on the ladder. so it's and that's why people are having children later and later. >> because you can't afford to be in a house until you're in your 30s, way into your 30s. >> i have people who follow my moving home with charlie channel saying all the time, we live in london, we've both got six figure salaries. we can't afford a house. >> but then i say, charlie, i say all the time to lots of colleagues here. >> i say, just get out of london. then i don't live in london. >> i, you know, but if you've got to work in london, you've got to work in london, you've got to work in london, you've got to commute, then i know my commute is two hours door to doon commute is two hours door to door, so four hours a day. >> but on the flip side, i live somewhere much cheaper, arguably much nicer. and my kids are safer. so you don't. i just don't think you have to live in london to work here, you know? >> charlie innes, really good to

see you both today. thank you so much. thank you both do stay with us. still to come. i know you're excited about this one. we're going to be joined by farmer frank to share with us why mare's milk. yes. that's right, horse milk. it's very beneficial for us. >> okay, but up next, aidan magee will be here with all the football fixtures as the premier league kicks off today. man united of course played fulham last night. they scraped a victory one nil and re st rest of the pack play today.

tick. welcome back. 1125 ben and ellie with you on saturday morning live. and the premier league is also back. pep guardiola's manchester city side will be looking to win a record breaking fifth straight premier league title this season. i can't believe that. i suppose that's what happens when you have all the money and resources in the world. however, they are expected to face competition from the mighty arsenal once again. while man united kicked off proceedings last night against fulham, sports broadcaster aidan magee joins us now. good morning. aidan, good morning to you both.

>> good to see you aidan. >> good to see you aidan. >> what's going on then? man united last night. how did they get on quick out of the blocks last night. >> they won one nil. they didn't play >> they won one nil. they didn't play particularly well. i thought the key moments in the second half really belonged to fulham. they should have taken advantage. but nonetheless, a win is a win is a win, as they say. a new signing came off the bench with a half an hour to go. yes. joshua zirkzee got the goal and following the footsteps of famous dutch strikers like robin van persie, dutch or belgian, he's dutch. dutch, yeah, he's signed from bologna though, so we saw matthijs de ligt as well come off the bench. so a couple of substitutions in there as well. but a long way to go for manchester united. they had that football review in the summer. they kept their manager even though i'm not sure they wanted him deep down. but he's there in place and as i say they're off to i wouldn't say off to a flyer, but a solid start. no? >> well, yet a win is a win. as you said. so they are temporarily top of the pack and the rest of the teams play today. what's the standout game for you today? >> i would say i quite like the look of ipswich against liverpool because ipswich have not seen premier league football now for 22 years. in fact, it was so long ago that i actually

covered them last time they were in the premier league and matt holland and jim magilton and everybody else was was was there. yeah, good players. and if you'd said to me back then it would be 22 years before a club like that, of that stature saw top flight football again, i'd have said it was highly unlikely. but they've got money in there. they've got a very talented young coach, they've got somebody who has stayed at the club. he had offers in the in the summer they were linked with brighton. he was even unked with brighton. he was even linked with manchester united at at one stage and they've spent quite a bit of money as well, unlike what luton town did last yean unlike what luton town did last year, who were very conservative, very safe, took the money, went back down. ipswich have spent a few quid and they want they obviously want to stay there. liverpool coming to town today. big, big day. >> do you think they'll stay up? ipswich >> i think they will. i think they're going to finish in. i think they'll finish in, in the bottom six but i fancy them to stay up. >> yeah. okay. and the key question is who is going to win the premier league this season. of course city have won four on the bounce. arsenal came second in the last two years. was it. hang on. >> we're going to make him do an actual prediction because you'll make it up and you'll be like oh no, i never said i never. >> it's not like me. >> it's not like me. >> it's not like me. >> i want you to write it down,

okay, fine. he's going to win the league. can i, can i? >> yeah, fine. well, look, i can't see i think what i can't see beyond man city winning the league. i think they'll make it five in a row. that's their incentive. they want to break more records. i think we'll see quite a similar season to what we saw last year. i think arsenal will be very strong and they'll push them all the way. but arsenal have so far haven't really made any any, any forward, forward attacking signings. whereas you know, you've got you've got riccardo calafiori coming from from who do bologna. do you sign from bologna. i think it was. and then you've got, yuri and timber coming back from injury as well. so defensive reinforcements. i just don't think they needed strength in defence. so i'm going to go for manchester city because the problems they've had, the problems they've had, the problems they've had are over the last few years with the charges hanging over them . their charges hanging over them. their manager, pep guardiola, has proved very adept at managing that situation as it goes along and i think he'll do it again. so i'm going for manchester city top. thank you. with arsenal in second place and i think they'll only be a point or two between it again okay. >> and but talking of man city the integrity of the entire league really has been pulled into question. >> well, i think it's a really good point. and yes, the premier league don't want to talk about it, but it's true because you've got charges hanging over the head of manchester city. they

brought forward the hearing , brought forward the hearing, which is going to begin next month, i believe. and then we could see a resolution by march. >> what are they accused of. >> what are they accused of. >> well they have 115 charges of financial impropriety, basically inflating the value of sponsorship deals . and i mean, i sponsorship deals. and i mean, i don't want to go through all 115 because they're not all the same. but city's tactics so far have been to tie the premier league up in litigation. they're going to have experienced very expensive, costly lawyers and it's worked so far. we're probably going to see an appeal in the new year as well . when in the new year as well. when the when the original verdict is set to be handed down. so handed down. so how long does this go on for. how long before we get to the end of the season and we're looking at city possibly even get relegated if they if they're found guilty and you should say they deny any wrongdoing at this stage. but even the case with leicester city, they could get a deduction as well. we'll see. it could be as well. we'll see. it could be a situation where we see a table at various points in the season, taking shape, and yet we're not sure if it's going to look like at the end of the season because the punishments haven't been handed. >> are there any, speaking as an arsenal fan, is there any retrospective action city could face from previous seasons? could they be docked points from, say, last season, which would mean arsenal will win the

league? >> i just don't think that works . >> i just don't think that works. they tried that in italy in 2006 and they took various titles off, off of juventus, but no one looks back and thinks that their rivals won the league . i mean, rivals won the league. i mean, what are they going to do, have a have a retrospective trophy parade from 2000 to 2012 is unlikely. yeah i wouldn't, i wouldn't go it's a bit it's a bit lame, a bit of a lame way to win the league. >> it is. yeah, exactly. >> it is. yeah, exactly. >> you want to win it on the pitch, but as a again as an arsenal fan and other teams in the premier league, it does feel like, you know we've been cheated a little bit. whoo. arsenal. arsenal i'm not far be it from me to say that i'll leave the courts to decide that and arbitration etc. there is a process and it takes a long, long time. manchester city are very confident that they've done nothing wrong. we should say, >> just one quick thing. i saw. ispoke >> just one quick thing. i saw. i spoke to eamonn holmes the other day and he said, i didn't know this was a thing, but he said that mikel arteta, the arsenal manager, looks like captain black from captain scarlet. >> you know, he's had a few look alikes. i think he's a very handsome man actually. >> he's very handsome. but eamonn showed me a picture of captain black on his phone and i couldn't believe the likeness .

couldn't believe the likeness. >> they say he's got a bit of a lego hairstyle, isn't he? yeah, he said, too you're young for lego. you too, aren't you? >> no, no, we had lego too young. >> no, no, we had lego too young. >> too young? yeah, i thought so. i thought it was an 80s thing. sorry. no, a 90s thing. no, he's got a bit of a little bit of a lego sort of fisher—price hairstyle going on. >> i didn't warn the producers. so we haven't got a picture. but if you're at home on google, just search for mikel arteta and captain black from captain scarlet. >> very defined eyebrows. >> very defined eyebrows. >> let us know what you think. gbnews.com/yoursay. thank you. thanks, adrian. good to see you both . we need to keep that both. we need to keep that prediction up. >> yeah, throw it away if i get it wrong though. yeah >> now, do you stay with us? lots more to come on the show today. but first, let's get the news headlines with sam francis . news headlines with sam francis. it's sam over there. i believe he is. i think we're having a few technical difficulties, so we'll we'll just stay here. we could do for the next moment. do you want? i don't think there's. >> i don't think there's any sting there. >> can we go to sam? >> can we go to sam? >> do you want to go to sam or do you want to us read this? well, we can do it. well, we're here. we're hearing a report that the former newsreader, huw edwards, is accused of sexually

assaulting a 27 year old man in assaulting a 27 year old man in a west end club after sending explicit text messages. >> this follows earlier revelations that the 62 year old admitted receiving child sex images and videos, and i'll pass you over now to sam francis . no, you over now to sam francis. no, we're going to stay off the alleged victim, claims edwards, who continued despite being asked to stop, was, quote, brazenly aggressive and got off on the risk of getting caught. well, it's also alleged in the daily mail that the former bbc star threatened to kill anyone who looked at the man who he described as his possession. >> it comes as the bbc is now demanding that huw edwards returns over £200,000 worth of his salary following his arrest on other charges. >> and elsewhere, a private funeral for one of the three girls stabbed to death in southport will take place later today. six year old bebe king was attacked during a dance class at the end of last month. the killing sparked anti—migration and counter protests across the uk in part because of the misinformation about the suspect.

>> anyone travelling to an african country affected by a new strain of m—pox is being urged to get vaccinated. fresh advice has been issued by the european centre for disease prevention and control after the virus emerged in the drc. more than 500 people have died on the continent so far this year. sweden has recorded its first case, while pakistan is trying to establish whether a person there is affected over to the us.and there is affected over to the us. and the president there claims a ceasefire between israel and hamas is closer than it's ever been. following negotiations with mediators in qatar. joe biden told reporters that there are just a couple of issues standing in the way of an agreement, which could lead to hostages being freed . hostages being freed. >> i'm optimistic not too far from over. just a couple more issues.i from over. just a couple more issues. i think we've got shot. >> russia's claiming that ukraine used western rockets to destroy a key bridge in the kursk region. as kiev's forces continue to make advances in russian territory. president

zelenskyy says ukraine's inflicting maximum damage on moscow's forces there. however, towns in donetsk are still facing what he's described as the most intense of russian assaults . assaults. >> thanks, aiden. lots more to come on the show today. but first, let's head to a break.

tick. >> welcome back to saturday morning live and it's time for our weekly dose of showbiz. now, as stephanie takyi, who joins us now. hello. >> good morning . hello. hello. >> good morning. hello. hello. thank you, thank you so much. the sun's out, the dresses out. now you look beautiful. thank you. >> we have to start with some really sad news. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> shocking. this investigation into matthew perry's death. >> it really is. i think, as you know , worldwide, people were know, worldwide, people were devastated when it was announced that he died of an apparent drug overdose. people thought that was just it, because he was

quite vocal about his battle with addictions. he'd done many stints in rehab, but, you know, his family are thanking law enforcement in la because actually, when they've done the post—mortem before he died, a week before he died, he was registered. he was given ketamine by a doctor. but they said that kind of ketamine was to treat depression. and the effects of that only lasted 3 to 4 hours. but the ketamine that was found in his body was quite powerful. so that's what triggered law enforcements to look who actually gave him the drugs and what has been found. there's five people, including two doctors and his assistant , two doctors and his assistant, and this woman called the queen of ketamine . and she's a drug of ketamine. and she's a drug dealer from north hollywood who actually gave him more ketamine than was required. and they didn't even know how to administer to it. so this is all just been unfolding. and like, it's just an abuse of power. it's also been quite tragic to find out what happened in those final days with matthew perry. >> very sad. and matthew perry, there was a clip doing the

rounds online yesterday where he was quoting jim carrey, his fellow film star, who said, jim carrey said, i wish everybody could realise their dreams because they'd soon realise that despite having it all, all the money in the world, you know, an amazing job, an award winning series, it still doesn't fix the problems inside. >> it doesn't. and, you know, like from someone who works in the showbiz industry, there's been many celebrities who have fallen victim to drug addiction, alcohol addiction. and it's usually the people around them who they trust to help them. and usually it's those people who are the cause of their downfall and who misuse this power. like this assistant had worked with matthew perry for almost 30 years, and he didn't even know how to administer ketamine. it was up to him , actually, to say, was up to him, actually, to say, you know what, matthew? enough is enough . so now these people is enough. so now these people are now facing between five, no, ten years and lifetime imprisonment. and i think it's well deserved for them. and i think the law enforcements have done the right job because they would have got away with it. and it just would have been like, oh, matthew perry died of a drug

overdose. and actually it's been more sinister the more facts that have been coming out. >> yeah. and good for them for the authorities. you know, it's been taken a year, hasn't it? yeah. at this stage. but to bnng yeah. at this stage. but to bring this to court and to bring these people to court who have exploited what looks like a very they have and they did try to cover up as well. >> there's been a lot of messages which have come through now. and you can see actually the extent even after he died that they want to cover up, cover up their involvement in the situation. so they were charging him $2,000 per vial, weren't they? yeah, there was . weren't they? yeah, there was. >> and they sell for $12. >> and they sell for $12. >> they do. and then they knew they could make money out of it. and there was one text. they were like, how much is this moron going to pay for this? and it's just like, you're talking about someone's life here. but now they will face the punishment that's due to them. yeah. >> rightly so . >> rightly so. >> rightly so. >> reminds me of the michael jackson's death. >> yeah, it is his name. >> yeah, it is his name. >> conrad. conrad. murray? yeah. big mj fan. >> yeah. yes. >> yeah. yes. >> reminiscent of michael jackson. it's reminiscent of whitney houston. >> houston. >> houston. >> unfortunately, it's not the first time. >> it's not. and sadly, it might not be the last. and that's the kind of thing that happens in

hollywood behind all the glitz and the fame , there is a lot of and the fame, there is a lot of dark stories behind the scenes . dark stories behind the scenes. >> yeah. hollywood, can we talk about taylor swift , please? about taylor swift, please? because she's in wembley at the moment. >> she is. she's taken over. >> she is. she's taken over. >> she's had a star studded guest with her this week. she has it has been all eyes on taylor with this eras tour. >> but this was even more poignant because it followed the foiled terror attack that happenedin foiled terror attack that happened in austria that was supposed to happen at her concert. luckily it didn't. then also, we had the southport stabbing, so it was very much all eyes on taylor coming back on stage. but obviously she does what she does best. and she was the queen of surprises. and this week she brought up. on thursday she brought out ed sheeran, who she brought out ed sheeran, who she called her best friend on stage, and they went through a couple of the tracks that they've worked together. and today she will also be performing in wembley and suki waterhouse. now suki waterhouse is known for acting, but she's moved into the music world over the past few years, so she'll be performing tonight as well. but there is a lot of talk whether taylor is going to have a moment where she actually pays tribute to the southport victim. she's

been very quiet about it, but apparently she reached out to the families privately, so we're waiting. yeah she has. >> that's lovely because i think it's not about taylor swift. that's i think that's right that she doesn't address wembley. yeah.i she doesn't address wembley. yeah. i think if you're going to pay yeah. i think if you're going to pay tribute and you know, you know she's been affected by it. >> yes she has. yeah. >> yes she has. yeah. >> she's saying she was at a loss for words and it had really devastated her, i think to reach out to the family and actually to share your deepest condolences . condolences. >> the nicest thing i do as well, because i think that's when the headlines just steal it. and it does become about taylor swift. and taylor has done this, taylor has done that. and i think when you're actually more genuine, you don't want the headlines, you don't want the attention. these are families which are grieving. and unfortunately for taylor swift, it's been linked to her name. and again, most of her fans know what's happened and she will still put on a good show . what's happened and she will still put on a good show. but i think she's respecting the families behind closed doors. >> yeah . there was a review in >> yeah. there was a review in the daily telegraph from the entertainment reporter's name. is it anita singh? basically saying i didn't get taylor swift before. yeah. to me, i don't really get it now . but she said really get it now. but she said after going to the concert, she

understands it. she fully gets , understands it. she fully gets, you know, the love you you would be a swiftie bannau. >> that's how i got into taylor swift. i saw her perform once and i was like, yep, she's got me. >> i know lots of people have . >> i know lots of people have. >> i know lots of people have. >> and look, i've just got to touch on the biggest break—up of gen z gossip molly—mae, tommy fury gen z have been having a meltdown about this, and the older generation are like , what older generation are like, what is going on and why is he talking about that? >> well , you know what? they >> well, you know what? they made their names out of love island season four. they didn't win, but people have been quite fascinated by their love story. you know, they've documented everything on social media. so when molly—mae came out this week and said that they were breaking up after five years, fans have been left devastated. there have been rumours of cheating allegations which tommy has denied , but people want to has denied, but people want to see what's happening next for them because together they've amassed £9 million. so this is a, you know, a very rich couple who've managed to get into the pubuc who've managed to get into the public sphere through reality tv shows. i think the reason why there's a big fascination with

gen z is because love island has such a cult , gen z is because love island has such a cult, and when you see these kind of romances, they don't last long. and for them, they lasted five years and they have a child together, a daughter called bambi. so i think a lot of people are thinking, what's happened and what will happen next for them? will they get back together ? will they get back together? >> watch this space. i wouldn't be surprised , neither would i. be surprised, neither would i. >> it's been described as this generation's charles rae and i thought that was pathetic. >> i'm sorry. yeah. generations. charles and di split. it's pathetic. you can't compare the two are just yet to reality tv show love. >> molly, though is she was the 06 >> molly, though is she was the 0g social media influencer. og social media influencer. i think she is very switched on. >> she is. and i think that's why people admire them, and i think because people have followed their story. so much. this is why it's gone into meltdown mode over their break—up. >> thanks. thanks guys. >> thanks. thanks guys. >> thanks. thanks guys. >> thanks so much. still to come, farmer frank will be here sharing with us why the naysayers may be wrong. after a new scientific study has shown the big benefits of horse milk. yes, you heard that right. back in

>> welcome back. 1147 ben and ellie with you on saturday morning live. 1148 actually, it's just turned now. what do you pour over your cereal in the morning? because until recently , morning? because until recently, cows milk, of course, has always been the go to. but with so many alternatives now available, soya, almond, oats , hazelnut, soya, almond, oats, hazelnut, coconut milk it's now much more difficult to choose. >> yeah, there's an awful lot out there on the market. so how do you feel about horse milk? yes, you heard that right. for generations, people in central asia have sworn by horse milk and the supposed health benefits and the supposed health benefits and now researchers in poland believe it should even be used in ice cream for the sweet treat. not only tastes delicious, apparently, but could also be good for your gut. >> okay. well, joining us now to give us the lowdown on why we should be considering switching over to horse milk is farmer frank shellard from cromwell

farm, britain's only horse dairy? good morning. frank. look, you're an expert on all things milk. you've even written a book on it. so is horse milk beneficial? >> by pure chance, i've got the book. >> there we go . nice plug. it is >> there we go. nice plug. it is horse milk. good for you. how doesit horse milk. good for you. how does it compare nutritionally? first of all, to cow's milk? >> i think the big difference is just to make the point from the very start. cows, sheep and goats and all those other alternatives. alternative milks have got four stomachs. horse has got a single stomach. so a lot of the enzymes and a lot of the a lot of the makeup of the milk is very similar to mother's milk is very similar to mother's milk. milk is very similar to mother's milk . so our bodies are a lot milk. so our bodies are a lot more able us being a single stomach animal, if you like to digest that milk. so that's the big thing. that's the first point i'd like to make. it's also a lot because of that. it's also a lot because of that. it's a lot more digestible so we can digest the milk a lot more. and you could be lactose intolerant with cow's milk. and the other types of milk that are out there. but because of the makeup

of the mare's milk, you could you could drink the lactose and the lactase in it. you could probably not. or don't quote with everybody, but a big percentage of those people that are lactose intolerant could dnnk are lactose intolerant could drink the mare's milk. the great thing about the mare's milk is it's very, very good for your gut flora and what you've got to remember is that your gut flora, this is your first brain here. we all think about this governing our body. but unless what we put in here and through here is correct, this can't function properly. and mare's milk is very, very for good your metabolism and your skin and all that type of thing. if you remember in the history books , remember in the history books, cleopatra bathed in ass's milk and ass's milk is exactly the same thing. it's exactly the same thing. it's exactly the same makeup is mare's milk, and she bathed in it for eternal youth and to keep the skin and her metabolism metabolism. correct. so i think that just gives it a quick basic introduction for you. >> and you drink mare's milk every day, don't you? so what

benefits have you seen in yourself and describe for us, frank, what it actually tastes like ? like? >> i two, two, three years ago were just whenever covid was and i tried to forget about my covid years. don't we all? but during my just after the covid years, i had a small stroke, not a major one, but it was definitely a stroke when i fell onto one side and i went into hospital for a check—up and all those bits and bobs, and they found a small bleed on the brain, my cholesterol level went up. it's been three pretty well all my life, and i've been very lucky to not suffer from blood pressure or any of those sort of things. but after the stroke, it upset my metabolism a bit and my cholesterol level went up. the doctors gave me a blood thinner and they also issued me with a statin, which i was a bit reluctant to take. and i said to them, well, i'm going to drink my mare's milk because i've got every faith in it. rather than take the statin. they didn't really understand what i was saying, and they thought i was taking the mick a little bit because they then they researched it. and yes, i drank the milk and i drank 250ml of

the milk and i drank 250ml of the milk and i drank 250ml of the milk every morning. so i get up between 5 and 7 most mornings, and the first thing i do is drink 250ml of the mare's milk. >> i drink that 250 mil and i don't 250ml, and i don't do anything else to eat or drink anything else to eat or drink anything else to eat or drink anything else for that hour. >> i let that absorb into my body and i've got a lot of that from top scientists and gut flora people around the world. i'm very fortunate, fortuitous to be connected with great gut people in kazakhstan, which are market leaders, and in poland. so they've advised me on the best way to go about it. yeah, i dnnk best way to go about it. yeah, i drink and i don't do anything else. on the first month of drinking the milk, the doctors were amazed and the surgeons were amazed and the surgeons were amazed and the surgeons were amazed that my cholesterol level went back to down three, and they hadn't seen it before or anything like it before. and i purely drank the milk, didn't take the statin, they thought i did. >> interesting. so frank , if our >> interesting. so frank, if our viewers want to go and buy a 250ml worth of mare's milk, how much will it cost them ?

much will it cost them? >> it's quite expensive. it'll be £6, £50 a bottle. but we do go down to £6 a bottle. but what i would say on that point, most of those viewers would go to the gym, would buy some sort of what they call protein shake or something shake or something along those sort of things to drink. and if you add up what that was costing you for the day, it would make the mare's milk seem quite cheap. >> so , frank. >> so, frank. >> so, frank. >> yeah . frank, i wanted to ask >> yeah. frank, i wanted to ask you about your snapchat following because you're you're really quite famous on snapchat. people are fascinated by horse milk . milk. >> my snapchat follower happened to bump into the right man from snapchat, and the right lady team from snapchat that were involved with it, and they said to me, would i be interested in coming on as part of the uk on snapchat? and if i'm really honest, i didn't really understand it and hadn't really done that much with social media. and i was honest with them and i started just putting my life history on there really.

so every day i just put on what i do, milking horses, driving tractors. i might take a picture of a butterfly flying, i might take a picture of me and just interview about how i do my diet. and that's all i did. and within the first month i ended up with a million followers. wow. and then within this i had seven 7000 viewers. it's just been just a great success story. thank you frank. >> we're fast running out of time. what's your snapchat username? quickly got five seconds. >> frank the farmer. >> frank the farmer. >> we'll follow you and you're going to have to come into the studio so we can give this a taste test. and we promise we will try it, won't we? not sure how i feel about it. thanks frank. >> appreciate it. have a happy day . bye bye. day. bye bye. >> we'll see you. same time, same place. next week . same place. next week. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar, sponsors of weather on . solar, sponsors of weather on. gb news. >> hello. welcome to your latest gb news weather forecast. generally for the day ahead ,
