pass despite not having a formal job on the premises. he told us he'd stamp out this kind of thing, didn't he? so is the honeymoon period now officially over for sir keir starmer? and it's not even christmas. well, to discuss this, i'm now joined in the studio by gb news reporter adam cherry. adam, the honeymoon period we were promised would last. perhaps until christmas. yeah. this has been a shorter period than a wet weekend in blackpool. but where's all that optimism gone now? we were promised with tony blair. things will only get better now. things can only get better. five minutes in and it's all doom and gloom . all doom and gloom. >> it's not looking good, is it? so tomorrow we're going to have this doom laden speech where he talks about all of this saying we've got a lot of tough days ahead of us. you know , don't ahead of us. you know, don't expect any rabbits out of the hat in rachel reeves speech budget in october. it's going to be miserable . tax rises all over be miserable. tax rises all over the place. spending cuts already had the winter allowance cut. that's causing trouble within

the party. obviously the riots as well, overcrowding in prisons. i mean, their in—tray is overflowing with problems. and now you have this cronyism story brewing, which in just the last 24 hours is getting worse and worse. you mentioned lord waheed alli. he is a big time labour donor, £500,000. i think in the last 20 odd years since new labour, since he was appointed to the lords by tony blair. he's even given quite a lot of cash to starmer personally, including giving him a makeover. he's giving him some new glasses and all that, even though he still looks basically the same to me. anyway, he has a parliamentary past. for the last few weeks, downing street and initially obfuscating on this. and then they say, oh, actually , and then they say, oh, actually, don't worry, he doesn't have that pass anymore. well, fine. but why did he have it? that's unusual because he doesn't have a job. an official job in the party or in number 10. and who authorised it? now they're not answering those questions, you know, add that to the existing issues around the civil service impartiality rule with a bunch

of labour insiders, donors , of labour insiders, donors, advisors getting plum jobs at the top of whitehall, despite the top of whitehall, despite the fact that whitehall is supposed to be completely separate from the party machine and supposed to maintain its impartiality. so look, it's what are we, 6 or 7 weeks in and no wonder starmer is giving this sort of speech because it's not looking good. >> it's interesting how lord waheed ali used to run asos, the clothing chain, and indeed they gave him £2,485 to keir starmer for multiple pairs of glasses. so people are calling this parsers for glasses, which i quite like and they've got a nice little ring to it. nevertheless, this is precisely the sort of whiff of jobs for the sort of whiff of jobs for the boys, jobs for the girls, jobs for the donors that the labour party were perennially throwing back at the conservatives. five minutes in power, wolf, doing the same thing. >> well, that's i think that's the crux of this. so the tory party are going to be loving this because it gives them an opportunity to say, look, i told you so. you're no different. i mean, rolling around in the muck with the rest of us, when you

make yourself purer than pure, you have to hold yourself to higher standards. the public aren't going to say, oh, well, it's different. you know, it's appropriate in certain circumstances . no, you're all circumstances. no, you're all the same. that's the problem. the charge that's going to be thrown at them now on this and on the speech tomorrow. the bet is it's going to be okay because they have enough political capital early in their premiership. they can get away with it. the election isn't for four and a half to five years. so you know within that time maybe everyone will have amnesia. and by the time they get to the next election, the bet is, you know, this sort of stuff will be in the history books. really. >> adam cherry, superb start to show. thank you very much. now, sir keir starmer's negative approach seems to vary very, very greatly with the formerly charismatic and optimistic tone struck by tony blair. and joining me now to discuss this is a political presentation. coach graham davis superb to have you. what a great job of political presentation coach. so on terms of the presentation, there's a gulf of difference between the optimism, the sort

of patriotic fervour, very different time . of course, we different time. of course, we had a lot of money in the tony blair era . and yet before the blair era. and yet before the election, sir keir starmer, even said he promised to relight the fire of optimism. instead, i put it to you, graham. the fire optimism has been rained out by pessimism. >> instead of optimism, he seems to have changed the labour party theme tune to the only way is down and judging by the bits of the speech that have been leaked to the media, the speech that he's performing tomorrow, it sounds as if he's going to be channelling corporal frazer from dad's army because of the evil tories were all doomed unless i plan to raise taxes in a way that none of you are going to like. >> and even when he's at his most jolly, he has the public speaking style of a door to door undertaker. so i think that listening and also , frankly, listening and also, frankly,

even if he was announcing that the nhs had had found the key to eternal youth, he could still make it sound like very bad news indeed. so i'm not looking forward to the speech tomorrow in any way. >> do you think that this is a sign of things to come, and how long, in terms of political presentation, can you keep blaming the former government? the £22 billion black hole we heard about seems to be getting even bigger. £10 billion has been thrown into that for nhs and public sector pay rises, half £1 billion chucked in for junior doctors. £100 million for train drivers. in terms of presentation, how does it tally with being told we must tighten our belts, especially pensioners? but then. oh hello, i've just found a few extra spare billion down the back of the downing street sofa for my mates in the unions. it's not good presentation or indeed consistency, is it? >> well, the weight with which he is pressing the blame button is a remarkable piece of

presentational decision making, because partly again, looking forward to that speech, it looks as if he's partly still making the arguments of the general election. but more than that , election. but more than that, instead of doing that, it's as if he is a prosecutor. again, arguing a case when in the crown court, when the tory party are in the dock and despite the fact that on the 4th of july the jury found them guilty, i think he's building up presentationally to psyching up the country to feel that it's them that are going to be punished with some very painful discipline, and i think that's part of the issue. >> keir starmer seems to be very binary in his approach. it's black or white. it's right or wrong. it's guilty or innocent . wrong. it's guilty or innocent. but what the public actually wants, especially at the moment, is a bit more nuance, a bit more tlc. >> well, he's tried to do tlc sometimes when he was leader of

the opposition in that slightly gentle tone, which he tried sometimes in his more calm questions, but it sounded very false indeed. when you've been a prosecuting barrister, and i was one myself for far too long, for as long as he has been. shock and awe is the way to go . and awe is the way to go. touchy, cuddly feely is very difficult to turn on and sound authentic. so if you're going to advise him, graham, if you're going to advise him to how present himself, if you're going to coach him, what would you say? well, i would actually advise him that somehow he needs to get away from us feeling that he is reading out a pre—prepared script now of course, politicians really do have to read a pre—prepared script. they can't be spontaneously improvising all the time, but i would advise him to rehearse that script a bit more to edit it a little bit more. so it sounds as if it's not just coming from his mouth, it's coming from his mouth, it's

coming from his gut. but also, rishi sunak was the same. >> he felt like an autocue prime minister. where have all the great orators gone? all of the great orators gone? all of the great from the great blair. whatever you think about his legacy, he was a great speaker. you know, he had the presentation, he had the optimism. he had the he had the intonation of delivery, which just seems to be missing from this generation. >> great oratory has been snaffled up in the maw of social media. and i think politicians are increasingly thinking of very short soundbites rather than a continuous piece of oratory that will persuade any given audience the one in front of them or the one at home. and i think that that tendency to do short, sharp , but not short, sharp, but not particularly glittering will continue . superb. continue. superb. >> so thank you very much for joining us in the studio here, graham davis. and of course adam cherry. great start to the show. thank you. now moving on. now let's return to the breaking news from earlier this afternoon. and the prince of wales and the prime minister are

leading tributes to the former england manager, sven goran eriksson, who has sadly died from pancreatic cancer at the age of 76. prince william praise his charisma and passion for the game, while sir keir starmer has credited and thanked him for a tremendous contribution to engush tremendous contribution to english football and for the joy he brought to the nation. now the swedish national became the first ever foreign manager of the england men's football team in 2001, also managing a series of high profile clubs such as manchester city , benfica, roma manchester city, benfica, roma and fiorentina. well, joining us now is martin bauer from the music duo belle and spurling, who released the classic single sven, sven, sven. welcome to the show, martin. always an absolute pleasure. look i worked in the tabloids. when? when sven was the gaffer. nobody had a bad word to say about him. he was much loved. he taught all of us, i think, to drop the jingoism, embrace the continent. and as well as being an international

football manager, he was an international playboy. what wasn't to like ? wasn't to like? >> do you know what it's i mean, it is a real, real sad day, >> we were really lucky because we spent, you know, a bit of time with him. we'd done quite a few events with him over the years and, it was really sad to get that news this morning . get that news this morning. >> and i actually sent him a message on thursday, a long message, just thanking him for what he'd done for us, really for 20 years. >> you know, writing a song about sven changed our lives. >> and we, you know, we've been performing it every two years for the euros and golden balls and the world cup. >> we do, sven, and then we do golden balls. and really, all the fans only ever wanted to hear the sven song. that was the one that, you know, the phones would come out and, and sort of everyone would, would sing the lyrics . lyrics. >> and i just sent him a long message, just sort of saying thanks, and what a great fella he was. every time we met him, he was. every time we met him, he was. every time we met him, he was he was so nice to us, you know. >> you know, i'm martin, actually, that should be our

cue. let's enjoy a quick blast of sven, sven, sven. now spend, spend. of sven, sven, sven. now spend, spend . sven. spend. sven. >> goran eriksson . it's what so >> goran eriksson. it's what so many players for the holland game. >> how do you forget collymore? >> how do you forget collymore? >> this guy is insane . >> this guy is insane. >> this guy is insane. >> see, i'm smiling out loud. and the guests that we have in the studio here are laughing out loud . and i think that's loud. and i think that's a wonderful thing. that is what actually sven would have wanted. that's how he'd like to be remembered. of course, like sven had prepared us for his death with great dignity and great acceptance. he knew that his time was going to come. in fact, ever the tactician, martin, he more or less predicted the date he was going to die. exactly. he knew his prognosis. he faced reality face on. he was very, very accepting, very, very warm and generous until the end. but tell us a bit more about the sven that you remember. and you know how gracious he was to you. >> we i mean, we've done a few events and, we'd written the song originally, for talksport and, then we rewrote it when we

beat the germans five one, which was just one of the greatest times ever. and really, i think we were doing some small event and then six weeks later we were on top of the pops singing the sven—goran eriksson song and so then we met him on a few occasions, and every time we'd turn up, he'd say, hello, boys. still making money off my name, are you? and? and we'd have a laugh about it, you know, it was just he was genuinely really so nice to us. and then the last event we did with him, was in 2018, and, we commented about how well he looked . you know, he how well he looked. you know, he looked so smart. he had a, he had a fantastic suit on. he looked amazing. and we had such a good afternoon doing this event with him. and you know, we spoke about it. >> we said, oh, look, we'll probably see you in a couple of years time. >> we'll see you at the next, you know, the next euros or the next world cup. and we never got a chance really to see him since

2018. and and that was one of the reasons why i think we sent him this long message this week. just sort of purely saying thanks for what he did for us. i mean, he literally changed our lives, you know ? lives, you know? >> and, you know, martin, there are there are so many people that supported england all their lives, like myself, who always felt that the gaffer should be english. and sven came in and he had a tough gig. he had to convince people that that was, you know, outdated thinking and he did it so easily. he did it so easily because he was so personable. i remember like thinking, how can you dislike this guy? whatever he said felt considered. it felt erudite. it felt like what we weren't used to and in many senses, martin i think he helped to re—educate england fans and to help to us move on from, you know, that kind of it's all about world war ii, you know, that kind of old thing of what it was like to be an england fan. i'm sorry to be, but, you know, it just made the game move on in a way that i think was, i don't like this

word, but inclusive. >> yeah, i think it, it probably it went well for him. >> the fact that we beat the germans five one, you know, it was absolutely it was a decent it's forever a legend at that point. >> exactly. he was like he was like god to everyone, you know. >> so yeah, and it was, it was like somebody mentioned it to me. i mean, the phone's been ringing a lot this morning, and it was like sven mania and it and it has been for us doing this every two years doing that song, you know, spend spend, spend. he's a lovely geezer. don't forget that. he's from sweden. and really everybody that i know that knows him from the football world, the england players that played for him at the time, that were a couple of them were friends of ours, all of them have said there's nothing bad you could say about him. it was just a very, very nice man. and it is a really sad day. >> i totally agree and i can see your your emotional there. but your your emotional there. but you know, he said, you know, i've covered this story yesterday on breakfast and he was looking ahead to his own inevitable fate and he said,

don't be unhappy for me. he said, smile. i have lived the wonderful life. you know. that is what he said when he was staring death in the face like that. martin so philosophical and so pragmatic, and i think that's the sven that we'll all remember. >> i think i've only seen a few clips of the documentary that's just come out and, there is a clip of him sitting in his in his chair , watching the sven his chair, watching the sven video, watching watching the song, and laughing. and then i think david beckham comes on and says how much he loved it. and, you know, i'm getting choked up talking about it now, but it's, it's quite, a quite a, quite a point. that one. >> well, martin bell, thank you so much for sharing those memories with us. and thanks for making us smile and i'm sure you know, the fella up there will be having a little snigger himself looking down, because that's the way he would like us to enjoy today. way he would like us to enjoy today . thank you very much, today. thank you very much, martin bell. absolute pleasure from bell and spurling of course. thank you for joining from bell and spurling of course. thank you forjoining us course. thank you for joining us on the show today. thank you. and lots more still to come between now and 4:00, including the suspect of the recent

stabbing in germany is a syrian asylum seeker . stabbing in germany is a syrian asylum seeker. now, might this fuel the rise of the right in forthcoming i'll speak to a german political expert

soon. welcome back. time is 326. i'm martin daubney on gb news. the suspect held over the festival terror attack in germany. that killed three people on friday night has been charged . syrian night has been charged. syrian national isa al—haj was named as the man accused of carrying out a savage knife attack in the city of solingen, which left a woman and two men dead. and how will this stabbing affect politics in germany? might it fuel the rise of right wing parties in coming elections? well, joining me now to discuss this is the editor in chief of nyus, julian reichelt. julian welcome to the show. so the political fallout for from this

tragic, tragic event. and by the way, we've seen an increasingly large number of such attacks , large number of such attacks, seemingly in germany. we saw a police officer killed recently in another attack. they seem to be coming alarmingly regular. and will it affect politics? we have big elections, i believe, coming up this friday. state elections. what might this event and the continued backdrop of islamist terror attacks in germany mean for the political future of germany? >> so you're absolutely right. this has become a sad, regular in german life. you know, these kind of attacks usually carried out with a knife, usually with a person that came to germany illegally, that crossed into germany illegally, but was never deported, has been here for a long time, as in this case, this person came to germany in 2022 through bulgaria, bulgaria . he through bulgaria, bulgaria. he was registered as an asylum seeker in bulgaria. so what? it would have been possible to

deport him straight away back to bulgaria. but the police unfortunately only rang his doorbell once. he didn't open . doorbell once. he didn't open. so by not opening the door, he actually earned the right, under absurd german law to stay in germany . he absurd german law to stay in germany. he got his absurd german law to stay in germany . he got his title to germany. he got his title to stay here and then radicalised, apparently was hired by isis and carried out this attack in solingen. and this has happened time and again in germany in the past years. these kind of attacks. and you're right, we have two big elections, regional elections coming up in saxony and in thuringia. in both states, the right wing afd is already in the lead in thuringia, very well in the lead in saxony. it's kind of a close race. and i suppose that, you know, this attack will just consolidate their lead in those two states and it will it will, you know, over time, trigger a huge disruption of the german party establishment, because what will happen and this is very important to understand in both states, in saxony and thuringia , most likely the afd,

thuringia, most likely the afd, the, you know, far right party will win, but all parties have sworn that they will not allow them to govern , that they will them to govern, that they will form coalitions against them and prevent them from governing. all other parties have sworn that. so, people, will you know, get the impression that you have a major coalition by establishment parties against not against the party, but against the one topic thatis party, but against the one topic that is most emotional and feels most threatening to them. so people will, you know , not not people will, you know, not not understand this as a message directed against the party. they will understand it as a message by the establishment parties against them. your, you know, your most emotional topic, the thing you care most about illegal migration will not, be touched. it will not be changed. that's what people will interpret it at. and that will have major implications. a year from now when we have general elections in germany , you know,

elections in germany, you know, to the whole party system, i suppose, and i would say and julian, in that respect, that's a lot of sentiment you were mentioning there that's echoed overin mentioning there that's echoed over in the united kingdom as well. >> people have grave concerns about this. but when they speak out, they're branded racists. they're branded fascists. of course, a word which has a huge symbolic significance in germany is that kind of critique, that kind of , rhetoric still applied kind of, rhetoric still applied to people who are rightly very, very concerned about these kind of knife attacks and illegal immigration and if so, is that still continuing to work, or are the people saying , you know, the people saying, you know, enoughis the people saying, you know, enough is enough? we want to be heard. we want to support a free and safe and secure germany. >> what you're describing there and i have followed what has been going on in the uk. people standing up, people saying, we've had enough, and the enormous repercussions, you know, they have to feel for that . know, they have to feel for that. something very similar going on

here in germany . the, you know, here in germany. the, you know, pubuc here in germany. the, you know, public media that is sponsored force, sponsored in germany with ,10 billion per day that we have force, sponsored in germany with for ,10 billion per day that we have force, sponsored in germany with for them, billion per day that we have force, sponsored in germany with for them, no lion per day that we have force, sponsored in germany with for them, no matter day that we have force, sponsored in germany with for them, no matter ifay that we have force, sponsored in germany with for them, no matter if we hat we have to pay for them, no matter if we watch them or not, no matter if we like them or not, no matter if we despise them or not. they are in full propaganda mode. you know, their world is collapsing in front of their eyes. they have sold migration as the solution to all the german. you know, those people will pay for our pensions. it's the doctors and the engineers of tomorrow. it's all collapsing, you know, everyone can see now that it's unskilled people migrating into the german welfare system and many very dangerous people with them. so it's not that a single lie is collapsing a whole world. they have told for us years, is collapsing in front of their eyes, and they are absolutely determined to defend, you know , determined to defend, you know, the lie they have told and told us. so you know, they're going in full propaganda mode. they are saying, you know, don't focus on the islamists. now. we should, you know, now debate the

length of a knife you can carry with you. is it eight centimetres? is it six centimetres? is it six centimetres? you know, they're trying to make this a debate about knives and not about islamism coming into this country. they are framing everyone, you know, who's criticising this policy with all the words we've heard so many times. but to your last question, people are not having it anymore. people have now understand that they've heard it enough, and i think they will show at the polls. >> that's excellent. thank you. great analysis. please come back on the show. and that's julian reichelt, the editor in chief of niace there over in germany . now niace there over in germany. now it's the second day of the notting hill carnival, and there were three stabbings yesterday. but does it get a bad reputation and deservedly, or is it time to ditch notting hill? i'm martin daubney on gb news britain's news channel. but first is your headunes news channel. but first is your headlines with tatiana sanchez . headlines with tatiana sanchez. >> martin. thank you. the top stories this hour. former former england manager sven—goran eriksson has died at the age of

welcome back. time is 339. i'm martin daubney on gb news now. it's the second day of the notting hill carnival, and more than a million people are expected to descend on west london today to take part in cultural celebrations full of vibrant colours and music. as you can see on your screen there. but every year it seems to be plagued by crime. three people were stabbed yesterday,

with one now in a life threatening condition and so far police have made over 90 arrests and there have been ten assaults already on police officers. joining me now to discuss this is the former detective superintendent at the metropolitan police , shabnam metropolitan police, shabnam chowdhury. shabnam, always a pleasure to have you on the show. and we have this conversation. do we not every single year. a lot of people say that notting hill carnival is a part of london's rich cultural tapestry, brings in £300 million in revenue estimated per year. yet it does seem to be disproportionately plagued by violent crime, especially now, it seems knife crime . is it time it seems knife crime. is it time to ditch notting hill ? to ditch notting hill? >> absolutely not, martin. >> absolutely not, martin. >> and as you say, it's a beautiful, vibrant cultural event that we've had now for decades , celebrated particularly decades, celebrated particularly by the caribbean to community celebrate their roots here in the united kingdom . and it's the united kingdom. and it's a of course, there is trouble there most years, that goes

without saying. there are always a small pocket. a minority of those that attend deliberately to cause trouble amongst themselves. there will be those that will go there with the intent of causing trouble, amongst perhaps other individuals that they've got a gripe with. absolutely awful to hear about this woman. the 32 year old, who suffered life threatening injuries. let's hope she fully recovers and let's also hope that those responsible are brought to justice. but what i would say is this that those events in the vast majority, the main, are peaceful events. you will see a huge amount of vibrancy which is playing out on your screens right now, and unfortunately, the media will play unfortunately, the media will play out that it is in the main, violent and plagued by violence yourself. so you've just said, but actually that's a small percentage. if you compare that to the leeds festival last year, which had 100,000, revellers

that attended those events, there were 78 arrests, which actually the proportion of that compared to notting hill carnival is actually somewhat bigger . bigger. >> yeah. but then when you look at the types of arrests, nobody's getting stabbed at the leeds festival. nobody's getting stabbed at glastonbury. no one's getting stabbed at wembley stadium, where there are a comparable number of arrests. but for things like ticket touting or soft drug possession, the types of arrests tend to be typically quite different. and so you say there's a two tiered aspect to this, one of our next guests, mike neville, he was a former scotland yard detective. he's coming on later in the show. he's coming on later in the show. he wrote a piece a few days ago saying that notting hill, you may have seen it, benefits from two tiered policing because the police officers typically stand off and let things carry on in a way. for example, there would not be allowed to happen if it were, say, at a millwall match, if a man was dancing in a

sexually provocative manner to a wpc there, he gets short shrift. he'd be nicked within moments. do you not think that the arrests are quite low in notting hill? because the police stand off? >> no, i don't think the rest are quite low and actually , are quite low and actually, martin, if you look at the policing of football events and football events itself during the england matches, there's an increase of domestic violence by 26%. when england draw a match. >> and then when you have that might happen after notting hill, it might happen after notting hill. >> but i'm talking about football. i'm just giving you a comparison. a 38% increase in when england are defeated. does that mean that we should then stop football events? there are missiles thrown at police officers. there is abuse, there are drunks, there is football hooliganism. so that plays out across the field. 2 million revellers go to the notting hill carnival roughly most years. it's a second largest carnival in the world after the rio carnival. it has a huge, benefit to local businesses and those

businesses that work hard all year round. preparing the police work very hard and with and closely with the organisers. the only time that they will ban these events will be if there is significant information and intelligence that there is a likelihood of serious violence about to occur, or will occur, then the police will have to reconsider those carnivals. so no, i don't think it should be banned. it's a family event. it's awful that there is some violence there. police actually manage it very well . and i think manage it very well. and i think also the engagement aspect of policing is crucially important, particularly when you look at trust and confidence amongst communities, particularly the black and the minority communities who are disadvantaged time and time again, such as stop and search tasering handcuffing of those individuals and the arrests of many. but let's hope tonight is a peaceful event and that the end of carnival is a good one,

and that there are, few arrests dodi agree. >> let's hope it is peaceful as indeed last night's events were described as mostly peaceful. thanks for opinions . always thanks for opinions. always a pleasure. former detective superintendent at the met shapland chowdhury. thank you very much. now today is going to be the day that oasis reunite. is it? it's actually could be tomorrow. more on that next on martin daubney on gb news. britain's news channel

welcome back. your time is 348. i'm martin daubney and this is gb news now. the prince of wales and the prime minister are leading those tributes. the former england manager, sven—goran eriksson, who has sadly died from pancreatic cancer at the age of 76. our reporter sophie reaper has been taking a look at his colourful and magnificent life . and magnificent life.

>> sweet moments like this are what sven—goran eriksson will be remembered by. a legend of the game. hailed as one of europe's best managers during his time, he gave england fans moments they'll never forget away home. we're not going home. for five years he managed the england national team, leading the golden generation , including the golden generation, including the likes of steven gerrard, david beckham and michael owen, just to name a few. in 67 games, he won 40 and lost ten. he was far from a flop, while his tactical approach was described as pragmatic, it was a key ingredient to his success, which landed him jobs managing some of the biggest footballing superstars in the world. former england and manchester city right back danny mills was given his international debut by sven, including a world cup cap in 2002. he says sven brought something different that other managers didn't have .

managers didn't have. >> i don't remember sven ever raising his voice, let alone shouting. >> he was very much in the arsene wenger mould of management, spoke very, very softly. his football knowledge was absolutely incredible, worked with some of the top clubs in the world. a lot of the top players as well spoke. >> i would say fluently five languages, probably spoke 7 or 8. >> away from international football, he managed a number of clubs, mainly across europe . clubs, mainly across europe. there he won five league titles, among many domestic cups. while his style may not have been to everyone's taste, his character and treatment of players is something he'll always be admired for . something he'll always be admired for. and now his death has sent ripples of sorrow across the sporting world. sophie reaper gb news. >> absolute legend now juniors reporter jack carson joins us now from one of sven's former clubs, manchester city. jack,

welcome to the show . and of welcome to the show. and of course, very, very fondly remembered there amongst the sky blues. and indeed they've been leading the tributes to the former england great. tell us more . more. >> yeah, definitely. martin. well, here at the etihad stadium, manchester city confirming that they're going to lower the flags here to half mast in memory of sven—goran eriksson. now he became manager after that spell as england boss in the summer of two thousand and seven. it was the start of a lot of the arrivals of, of city's continental talent as they started to make waves and rises up the table in the premier league, he took over from stuart pearce , overseeing from stuart pearce, overseeing that change, becoming the first manager in 38 years to lead city to a double over manchester united. so there are really fond memories of him, certainly at this club being able to beat their local rivals twice in the

season. he led them to ninth in the premier league that season and left shortly afterwards , and and left shortly afterwards, and to go on to manage in the likes of mexico, the philippines, across the world. i mean , i've across the world. i mean, i've spoken to a fan from norway here today who's been visiting the stadium. he's part of the norway supporters trust. obviously they sit right next door to sweden. he was telling me, described sven as a gentleman. that's also how prince william, in a post on x today, also described him in that statement , prince william that statement, prince william said that he was sad to hear about the passing of sven—goran eriksson, talking about how he met him several times as england manager was always struck, he says, by his charisma and passion for the game and his thoughts and family thoughts with his with his friends and family, and calling him a gentleman of the game. so that's very much the reflection that i'm getting from being here, that lots of people viewed sven as a gentleman. you were hearing

there and sophie reaper reports and danny mills talking about how cool and calm maybe he was. not necessarily someone who would raise his voice at players as a manager, and he coached all around the world, all different kinds of levels. international management , kinds of levels. international management, winning, international winning, european trophies, multiple of them, 18 trophies, multiple of them, 18 trophies he won across his career. he will be fondly remembered, particularly here at the etihad, for that spell in charge here, becoming one of their first foreign managers as well . he only revealed at the well. he only revealed at the start of this year he'd been diagnosed with pancreatic cancen diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, of course, and was very open about how he believed he only had about a year or two left to live at best. but just a few days ago there was a documentary titled sven that was released and he gave his own goodbye in that message, talking about how we're all scared of the of the day that we die, he

says. but life is about death as well. he says he hope you will remember me as a positive guy. don't be sorry. smile >> superb message and a superb way to be remembered. every single club he's ever touched has got a great message and a memory of him. thank you very much. there jack coulson outside the etihad. we'll cross back to you later in the show. now things can only get worse. that's our prime minister's less than optimistic message coming out. do you feel that when sir keir starmer said it's time for a return to positive politics before the general election, there's been another dramatic u—turn in a speech due tomorrow . u—turn in a speech due tomorrow. apparently we're about to be told things can only get better. not things can only get better. what a u—turn, that's all. come in. i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel. but now it's your weather with greg dewhurst . greg dewhurst. >> a brighter outlook with boxt

the manager. you were working at the fa then? what a night. i just watched a clip of it a short minute ago, and it still is enough to bring grown men close to tears. tell us your special memories of being there and of being with sven . and of being with sven. >> well good afternoon martin. >> well good afternoon martin. >> yes. i mean, i think i'll come to that in a moment, if i may. i mean, the first thing i need to say, and i want to say is to, of course, pass on my condolences to sven's family at what is obviously a very difficult time, no matter how much he talked about it. as you rightly observed, i think it's an immensely sad day, and i know, speaking to a couple of my former colleagues that we all feel the same way, that it's a very sad day. but we also, when we reflect on sven and i think this is a fair comment, do so with a smile , because this was with a smile, because this was a man of great consideration, a man of great consideration, a man of great humility, a man who above all else, in whatever situation remained unfailingly

polite. and i think not everybody in life can achieve that, never mind in sport. and i think that's one of the great things i'll remember about sven his calmness, his ability to be kind to others, to think of other people rather than himself was a measure of the man. and i think the outpouring that you've seen on social media with the statements from various people across the world, including football players, managers , football players, managers, associations and all the rest of it, it really shows that genuine affection, love and respect for sven goran eriksson. now, when it comes to the match that you're referring to that historic game, as you described it in munich , i think for me, it in munich, i think for me, the most important aspect to that night was the way sven handled himself after the match, because it's extremely tempting to get involved in, triumphalism after a result of that nature. and the thing about sven was that he was always extremely measured. whether win , lose or measured. whether win, lose or draw. and i think that's very

difficult to achieve in an international sporting context or any sporting context or any life context, to be honest. now, dunng life context, to be honest. now, during that match, unbeknown to a lot of people during the game , a lot of people during the game, rudi voller, the german coach, his father had taken ill, he'd had a heart attack during the match. so straight after the game , sven, instead of wanting game, sven, instead of wanting to talk to the media, to talk to live television, talk to journalists, his primary concern was where is rudi voller? i need to speak to rudi about his father and that sums up sven—goran eriksson's approach to other human beings. so yes, he's one a football match. he's been the leader of a team that's pulled off an extraordinary result. but what mattered to him was the personal touch and the impact on rudi voller and the germany team as a whole . so yes, germany team as a whole. so yes, fantastic result. we can talk about that a little bit more in detail, but just to recall , detail, but just to recall, sven's approach to me sums up

the man as well as the football coach and paul. >> i worked, i worked in the newspaper industry in the time when sven first became the england manager and what strikes me is that journalists and indeed every club that sven went to, people don't seem to have a bad word to say about him. there's just fondness across the board, irrespective of all of those clubs across all of those five decades. and i think you're absolutely right. you know, that humility that kindness, and in particular, i think paul, for england fans , we were a lot of england fans, we were a lot of us dyed in the wool that an england manager must be english. and sven came to us and he moved the game on. he moved our mindset on. he helped us to embrace a more modern way of thinking about football and that sense a true agent of change. >> absolutely. and i think sven was a very charming man, a great ability to empathise with people, particularly football fans, people would stop him in

the street all the time and just want to chat about football. so it didn't really matter whether you met him for five seconds or worked with him for several years, your conclusion was always the same. you know, this is a great guy. he loves football, but more than that, he gives people time and i think that's what fans loved about him. so i got lots of friends who are big manchester city fans, and he was loved at manchester city, not just because he beat manchester united twice , but also because united twice, but also because he gave the fans time and not everybody does that . and whether everybody does that. and whether you're in business or whether you're in business or whether you're in business or whether you're in sport , the ability to you're in sport, the ability to do that and convey empathy with the people who effectively are supporting your business is everything. so it didn't matter whether he was in a restaurant, if he was disturbed and people wanted to get a selfie or get an autograph. he was more than happy to do that because i think his view was very much the time to worry is when people are not asking for your autograph or not asking for your autograph or not asking for your autograph or not asking for a selfie. that sums up his approach, and i think

that's why, as you say , you that's why, as you say, you won't find anybody with a bad word to say about him. whether it's portugal, sweden or italy or the uk. >> thank you for sharing those warm memories. paul newman, the former director of communications at the fa . thank communications at the fa. thank you for joining communications at the fa. thank you forjoining us on the topic. you for joining us on the topic. the sad death of sven goran eriksson. thank you. now, sir keir starmer is set to announce that things will get worse before they get better. now, i don't remember that in the manifesto, do you? the prime minister also faces cronyism allegations as major labour party donor lord waheed alli was given a downing street security pass despite not having a formal job on the premises. well let's discuss that further now in the studio with gb news reporter adam cherry. adam, welcome to the show. so we're expecting a speech tomorrow from the prime minister in stark contrast to the early days of tony blair. things can only get better, it seems. things can only get much, much worse. >> yeah. what happened to this change message that we heard

dunng change message that we heard during the election? change, as you say, for the much worse. so what this is, is, i think on the one hand, it's obviously warning the electorate that you're not going to expect don't expect any good news in the budget in october. don't expect prison overcrowding to be fixed overnight. also, i think it's kind of telling the party his own mps are coming back from recess next week. brace yourselves for this because it's going to be tough for you lot as well. and you're going to have to get this is actually your pitch to the voters when you meet them on the doorstep, that we need a long time to fix the mess from the previous guy. so yeah, overcrowding in prisons, obviously the riots, tax rises, the winter fuel allowance being being cut, all of that is coming down. the track very quickly. and there's no sort of panacea. there's no sunlit uplands for a very long time. the reason they feel like they can get away with doing this now, or why it's politically important to do it now, is obviously because we only had an election. what was it two months ago? if that 6 or 7 weeks ago. so they're banking

on enough goodwill by the time we get to an election in five years and saying, look, we went we've been through the mess that was necessary, and now we can sort of have the giveaways and govern as we had intended all along. it kind of worked with the coalition or rather with the conservatives. in 2015. remember, they were elected in 2010 and immediately had to introduce austerity, as its critics call it. but cuts to pubuc critics call it. but cuts to public services and so on, as a necessary antidote to what had come before and the public bought it. so there is precedent for it. the immediate problem with this cronyism thing is it's just not going away. and it's actually a problem of their own making in two senses, of course. one, they appoint these people, which we'll discuss in a second, but also their central pitch was they are not sleazy, they're not going to hand out jobs for mates. the whole point of this change thing was that it's going to be different, and the public will say, well, hold on, this looks exactly the same. so you have waheed alli, who's wandering around parliament. excuse me, one downing street with a pass, even though he doesn't have a job. but he did spend a lot of money to the

right people. prime minister himself and the labour party over the last 20 years. you have ian caulfield, who was chap who sent some money to rachel reeves and the treasury and the party itself going to the treasury in a senior job as a civil servant. a seniorjob as a civil servant. despite obvious connections to the party that would undermine the party that would undermine the civil service impartiality, he has now stepped back from that and will now only have an unpaid role. so there are a bunch of these examples. there are some, there are some more. but the point is the conservatives are going to jump on the hypocrisy element of this, not just the fact that they've been these appointments have been made, but they promised not to be like this. and we're only a month in and it seems like the narrative is that they're falling into the same traps , basically. okay. traps, basically. okay. >> adam cherry, well, let's ask a former conservative mp now if it is indeed their fault. i'm joined by sir michael fabricant on the show. sir michael . always on the show. sir michael. always a pleasure, sir. expecting a big speech from sir keir starmer tomorrow, saying things are going to get much, much worse andifs going to get much, much worse and it's all because of the conservative party. it's your fault .

fault. >> well, he would say that, wouldn't he ? wouldn't he? >> and much of it is being made by him. >> i mean, they inherited, as you well know, i mean, a very powerful economy. >> it's the fastest growing economy in the g7. that means faster than the united states, where i've just returned from faster than that in germany or france or japan. but why is it france orjapan. but why is it going so bad? and the answer is simple. >> keir starmer has caved in to the trade unions. keir. >> the cave arena has given money to the rail unions and the other militant unions and economists that i've spoken to have said this has set an awful precedent because it won't be all over now. there will be further demands and his hopes, which was admirably expressed just now by your correspondent, that all right, we'll do the difficult things in the first yeah difficult things in the first year. and do you know what fellow labour mps don't worry,

because the next four years after that will be grand before we have a general election. oh, no, it won't. they've spotted the weakness in keir starmer and the weakness in keir starmer and the trade unions, who, after all, are the paymasters of laboun all, are the paymasters of labour. they're going to be exacting their revenge and wanting more and more public payouts, which will lead to inflation and all the rest that we've seen in the past. when labour got elected in the 70s. already the honeymoon has ended. >> yeah, the honeymoon period seems to be shorter than the honeymoon period in a wet weekend in blackpool. what about cronyism? because of course, the labour party would always say, oh, the tory party were the party of jobs for the boys, jobs for the girls. backroom deals over ppe and all the rest of it. and now here we are and lord alli waheed getting a pass for downing street, having given half £1 million directly to the labour party over the past 20 years, is it always the same that in opposition you can say

one thing and then it seems as soon as the party gets into power, they just do the opposite. >> yeah, it does seem that way, doesn't it? and we heard only just before the election, keir starmer tackling the prime minister. then rishi sunak and saying you're going to now cancel all the winter payments, aren't you, to pensioners. and yet what did he do. he did just that, keir starmer. as soon as soon as he was in office. and you've seen it as well with the chief of staff of the labour party, sue gray, who was previously supposed to be a neutral civil servant but in fact had very close ties , both fact had very close ties, both directly herself and through her family with the labour party. no, people are going to see through this very quickly, and i've even seen driving between heathrow and litchfield this morning, a sticker in the back of at least one car saying, don't blame me. i voted conservative. the conservatives weren't perfect. far from it .

weren't perfect. far from it. most governments who had to fight covid and russia over the ukraine have been very unsuccessful when it comes to general elections, because of all the unpopular decisions they had to make. but labour have inherited a very, very strong economy and they're just blowing it now. keir starmer. keir the cave arena . cave arena. >> okay. so michael fabricant you lost your seat at the last election, but you still seem to have your tail in the air very, very much on politics. you fancy a return to politics, sir michael? quickly. >> i don't know, i did 32 years as a member of parliament, won nine general elections . i think, nine general elections. i think, actually, i should move to on something else. >> i'm still in the. or. definitely may be interested. sir michael fabricant, always a pleasure to see you on the show. thank you. you take care now. still to come. are we speaking to the former copper, who says that the notting hill carnival is the ultimate example of two

tier policing? i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel

welcome back. your time is 424. i'm martin daubney on gb news it's the second day of the notting hill carnival. more than a million people are expected to descend on west london today to take part in cultural celebrations full of vibrant colours and music. but every year it seems to be plagued by crime. three people were stabbed yesterday on family day with one in a life threatening condition and so far police have made over 90 arrests. now earlier, i was joined by the former metropolitan police detective superintendent shabnam chowdhury, who downplayed the levels of crime. >> what i would say is this that those events in the vast majority, the main , are peaceful majority, the main, are peaceful

events. you will see a huge amount of vibrancy, which is playing out on your screens right now, and unfortunately, the media will play out that it is, in the main, violent and plagued by violence yourselves. if you just said. but actually, that's a small percentage if you compare that to the leeds festival last year, which had 100,000, revellers that attended those events, there were 78 arrests, which actually the proportion of that compared to notting hill carnival is actually somewhat bigger . actually somewhat bigger. >> well, join now to discuss. this is the retired scotland yard detective , mike neville. yard detective, mike neville. mike, you wrote an article ahead of the notting hill carnival a couple of days ago for the telegraph, saying it's the ultimate example of two tier policing. explain to us what you meant by that. >> we just heard a lot of rubbish, haven't we, that there was less arrests or more arrests? >> that leads well, depends on the different policing style. >> at notting hill carnival there's been for the last five

years, there's been an average of ten stabbings every year. >> now, if you look at football, for example, about 850,000 people go to football every weekend. that's comparable to what attends the notting hill carnival. can you imagine if there were ten stabbings and 18 weapons recovered and loads of assaults on police during the weekend? every weekend we'd be told there was a return to hooliganism and the white working class were revolting. far right, etcetera, etcetera. and it just can't carry on because what happens is you've you've really got to push the boat out at notting hill to get arrested. so when it says there's been that many arrests, if you applied the same criteria of football match, there'd be thousands of arrests. so the challenge i have for anybody who claims there isn't two tier policing is this, go to notting hill and you can smoke drugs openly . openly. >> you can abuse the police. >> you can abuse the police. >> shout at the police, police dogs even you can dance with the

female officers to the point of indecent assault. >> and one officer was sexually assaulted last year. and then the experiment is you go to millwall next saturday and you do those things on the way to the ground, and you'll be swiftly arrested and taken to the police station. >> and mike neville, it's true to say that we have seen 90 arrests so far. would you not accept that? that is an example of the police clamping down? or are you actually saying if they appued are you actually saying if they applied the same police and as they do down the millwall, then there will be far, far, far more arrests. >> there'll be 900 arrests if they applied the same thing. but of course, operationally those officers are in a real bad place. you know, they're really crushed. you know , they've got crushed. you know, they've got they've got to be mindful. if they've got to be mindful. if they do arrest somebody that it might cause a massive public order thing. so you can't blame the officers on the ground. there are some brave officers and there are some tired officers who really work hard, andifs officers who really work hard, and it's one of the things that and it's one of the things that a lot of officers really don't want to do. but it's also the

scale of it. the 7000 officers on duty to give you some idea of that, that there's no other police force with 7000 officers. the police forces of manchester, birmingham and liverpool don't have 7000 officers. and all those officers are being paid double time today because it's a bank holiday. so the cost of this is £11 million. the taxpayer at football, the football , the clubs have to make football, the clubs have to make some kind of contribution towards it . and i just think towards it. and i just think it's the. and then there's the issue of safety . if you look at issue of safety. if you look at those crowds it would be far better done in hyde park. but and then you could have some control on who comes in. you could have real checks on weapons. you couldn't leave them behind to be collected tomorrow . behind to be collected tomorrow. and also you could you could try and stop the drug dealing and the like when people pay, people paid a tenner to get in that would cover the policing costs. but it's the idea that there isn't two tier policing , anybody isn't two tier policing, anybody in the last superintendent, she obviously lives in a dream world. that's all i can say.

>> and mike neville, it's important to point out that your opinion here comes from many years of actually being on the beat. you've been a copper at the notting hill festival. this isn't based on what you've read on the internet. this is from your grand experience of being taking part. >> yeah. so yeah, so i used to provide a special squad of officers called the super recognisers, who were supplied to spot gang members and known thieves and drug dealers. so i was part of the operation for many, many years. and as a young police officer, i was on duty there as well, both as a pc and a sergeant . and you can only a sergeant. and you can only have to read the comments by former officers and some serving officers, and they really are tired of this. and it's got to change because it just isn't right. you know, the idea that anybody can describe something as mainly peaceful when somebody is in nearly dying in hospital and there's likely to be more trouble tonight because the one the most effective thing at the notting hill carnival, because today is usually the day of trouble, is pc rain. if the rain arrives, then everybody goes

away and it disperses. the problem for the operational officers tonight is it's really sunny. and if when people have had too many drugs or too much alcohol or intent on causing violence, the sun does nothing but enhance the trouble. >> now, of course, mike, anybody who criticises notting hill, we hear they're racist because it's a cultural celebration of the afro—caribbean community. and the politicians in london, particularly sadiq khan, the mayor, seems to defend it to the hilt. why do you think we have this situation where, as you say, you're a far right extremist at a at a riot or a pubuc extremist at a at a riot or a public display about immigration, but you're celebrating culture even if there's violence at the notting hill carnival. is that an example of two tier policing? but two tiered politicians, two tiered media? >> yeah, it's two tier, two tier government. and again, the superintendent was the superintendent was the superintendent was the superintendent was saying, oh, the media reporting with violence. it's the media are saying phrases like mainly

peaceful and the like and it is just absolutely ridiculous to just absolutely ridiculous to just throw these accusations of racism at everybody. this would if football if this was a football match, it would be banned and i would call for it to be banned or moved and put into a place where it could be safely held, because at the moment it's neither safe for anybody attending. i would suggest, and the levels of crime are unacceptable. >> okay, mike, we've got a quick seconds. are you saying then, as it stands, the notting hill carnival on the streets? that should be banned? >> i'm saying it should be moved to hyde park. controlled, charged for that. the policing should be done in an area such as that , that it isn't safe as that, that it isn't safe because of the possibilities of crush , because people can crush, because people can conceal weapons and not go through knife arches and the like, move it and move it next yeah >> okay. superb. mike neville , >> okay. superb. mike neville, retired scotland yard detective, always has forthright opinions and thanks for sharing them with us here on gb news now. lots more still to come between now

and 5:00, including the king's niece. could be the first female royal in decades to join the military. doesn't that make you feel proud to be british? but first, here's your headlines with tatiana sanchez . with tatiana sanchez. >> martin, thank you and good afternoon. the top stories former england manager sven goran eriksson has died at the age of 76. the swedish national became the first ever foreign manager of the england men's football team in 2001. sven also managed a series of high profile clubs such as manchester city , clubs such as manchester city, benfica, roma, fiorentina , lazio benfica, roma, fiorentina, lazio and more. eriksson had pancreatic cancer and at the beginning of this year revealed he only had a year to live at best. following his death, the prime minister has paid tribute, saying he was deeply saddened by his passing. he went on to say he'll be remembered for his tremendous contribution to engush tremendous contribution to english football, which brought j'oy english football, which brought joy to so many over the years .

welcome back. it's 4.38. i'm

martin daubney on gb news. lady louise windsor, the daughter of prince edward and sophie, is apparently considering a career in the military which would make her the first female royal to serve since her grandmother of course, that's queen elizabeth ii, currently studying at saint andrews . the 20 year old royal andrews. the 20 year old royal has expressed a strong interest in joining the armed forces, and that's a magnificent thing to me. let's discuss it now with the royal commentator, caroline aston. caroline, welcome to the show. i think this is a wonderful story. when i read this this morning, it really, really put a spring in my step. what a wonderful thing for a young aspiring royal to do. >> absolutely . >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> and she was recently described as an english rose who is blooming. >> and here's a wonderful example of that. and you're so right. >> the last senior royal lady to actually be on active service was our late great queen, who in 1945, in the fading months of

the second world war, joined the auxiliary territorial service and stripped down engines change, sparking plugs and drained some oil along with the best of them. >> some wonderful photo ops back then. >> and here we have this relatively understated member of the royal family, a charming young girl who had a very difficult start to life. she was born by emergency caesarean. in fact, her father was out of the country when she was born and both her mother, sophie, now the duchess of edinburgh, and the baby actually had a very hard time at the beginning and she's gone to on have eye surgery a couple of times that have sorted out a problem with her vision. she's a most charming young lady and actually, you know, she's mentioned that she has three potential career choices the military. number one, she's really gone for army training at the cadet group at her university , which is also university, which is also expressed in interest in diplomacy and the law. but whatever. how nice to see this charming, understated young

royal thinking about doing this. i can't wait to see if the engush i can't wait to see if the english rose blooms and fulfils her promise. >> caroline. caroline. lovely sentiment. and also she's the eighth in line to the throne and we know we're having a tremendous problem with recruitment to the army itself. and so what better way to kind of ramp up the numbers of the rank and file members of the pubuc rank and file members of the public and especially to young women, and to have a royal laying out that this is a viable , laying out that this is a viable, proud career route for anybody to take? >> absolutely. i mean, what a poster girl for all of this. and ihave poster girl for all of this. and i have to say, i think everyone must have been very moved back in 2021 when her grandfather, the duke of edinburgh, went to his rest, when his carriage and those two fell ponies stood silent witness. and of course, he left his carriage and those ponies to the care of lady louise, who he had a very warm relationship with, and had

taught her carriage driving. indeed, he he taught the duchess of edinburgh as well. very warm relationship there. and this is all such positive stuff. a gentle character with a strong heart and a great sense of duty, and you're showing that amazing picture of her dressed for carriage driving with what looks like a quarter of a pheasant on her hat. she looks amazing and it was very much a warm, shared relationship with her grandfather. towards the end of his life and going forward, i see this young lady being very much the kind of new modern face of royalty, as well as acting, of royalty, as well as acting, of course, as a poster girl, as i say, forjoining the armed i say, for joining the armed forces, a lot of qualities here. we don't hear a lot about it, but what we do here is positive and she'll be one to watch. going forward. as we look at the development of a modern, youthful royal family with a slimmed down balcony presence, i can't wait to see what she does. lots of potential there and i'd

give my eye teeth for that hat. >> and caroline aston yeah, totally agree. it's a magnificent feathered hat there. that bonnet. and she said that she fell in love with the army cadets. and i just think it's a great thing for youngsters to get into, to give them that discipline, that patriotism and that pride in their country that so often is sadly missing. what a what a magnificent royal example lady louise windsor could set. thank you so much for joining us. royal commentator caroline aston puts a spring in my step. thank you very much . my step. thank you very much. now, are the gallagher brothers getting back together? is it time to crack open the champagne supernova ? apologies. i'm martin supernova? apologies. i'm martin daubney on gb news. britain's news channel

welcome back. 446. i'm martin daubney on gb news. now brace yourselves , because

now brace yourselves, because maybe you're going to be the one that saves me to have to carry on.and that saves me to have to carry on. and after all, i've been told to stop. now, you might wonder. you're my wonderwall. apologies now you might wonder why i'm singing oasis. well, it's because liam and noel gallagher look set to announce this is the big one. no more messing about. this is their long awaited return. the once feuding brothers have reportedly struck a massive secret deal for a number of concerts next summer. well, i'm joined by showbiz journalist and oasis superfan in the studio now . superfan in the studio now. welcome to the show, julie anne trainor. tell me this is the one, right? because we've heard so many times, so many rumours over the years. but this seems to be the absolute golden ticket. why do you think this is going to happen? >> yes, i'm really excited, firstly, liam and noel, they've both put out, announcements on their twitter pages saying that

tomorrow there will be a big reveal. so it's interesting that they both have put this out . and they both have put this out. and yes, everyone's just super excited. and there has been so many rumours that they are set to reunite . so tomorrow at to reunite. so tomorrow at 8 am. it will be revealed. a.m. it will be revealed. >> i've got to say, it's a very rock n roll and a very un oasis. time 8 am. to do this. that's what you'd expect them to be sleeping in. but also, was it at the leeds last night? liam put this on the screen as well and he dedicated his final song to noel of course, there was a long feud between the two brothers and that was all about noel's mrs. sara macdonald. right. but they split up. yes. it seems that she was the big barrier to the two brothers getting back together, and now it just seems all bets are off. this is happening. yes. >> well, for years they've had massive arguments and it's been very highly publicised. they broke up 15 years ago when ever liam smashed up a guitar, as you do before you go on stage and almost hit noel with it. so he

just then quit and had enough. but, yes. in the last year, noel has got a divorce from his publicist wife, and it has cost him £20 million, along with his 8 million mansion. so this could be the reason i that this is set to happen. and they're thought to happen. and they're thought to earn 400 million from it, with ten dates in wembley next year , and also dates in year, and also dates in manchester, scotland, and possibly even, a glastonbury headlining gig. so watch this space. >> it's amazing how divorce can force people back into the arena of work. we saw with john cleese. he called his comeback tour the alimony tour , £20 tour the alimony tour, £20 million. now that is an expensive divorce. £8 million mansion. losing that to his missus, but we might benefit from his misfortune in that sense. and of course, there was a lot of banter, a lot of toxicity between the brothers because of sorrow. we read a lot about that in the press. some

choice. comments exchange for, for a long time , the two for a long time, the two brothers were barely communicating , but things seem communicating, but things seem to have thawed out now. when did they split up? did they did did did the split up last january or something like that? >> the band split up . >> the band split up. >> the band split up. >> no no no no. so sarah mcdonald and noel. >> yeah it was some time last yeah >> so it seems that when that when they broke up , the two when they broke up, the two brothers have now started to form a closer alliance. >> well, i just also think it might be because they're getting older now. obviously there's a massive offer on the table for them. and also their children now are in their 20s. i guess they never got to see their both their dads up on stage performing like that. so maybe it's just all come together and the feud seems to have healed slightly, for instance, last night at the reading festival, liam hailed his brother noel as the greatest songwriter ever . the greatest songwriter ever. will one of them. and in a recent interview as well. no one noel has been very complimentary as well about liam , so fingers

as well about liam, so fingers crossed, yeah, fingers crossed they have mended the feud and i'm sure their mum will be delighted as well, because who wants to see their two sons arguing all the time? and not only that, but there's still such a huge appetite for their music after all these years. people still love oasis and sing their songs and oh, i just can't wait. it really will be very iconic. >> so i think it's fair to say they're not looking back in angeh >> no, hopefully not. hopefully they're looking forward to the future . and yeah, it's also future. and yeah, it's also great and refreshing to see some rock n roll for a change. you know, we've seen a lot of taylor swift this year. a lot of tiktok stars save pop music. now we want a bit of brit pop back. >> yeah. do you think they'll be enjoying some cigarettes and alcohol on the night? because i've heard they've cleaned up their act. >> i. i don't believe that. not at all. i want to see liam a few months ago in the o2, and he's still very much rock n roll. and i also saw noel last year as well in camden. and, yeah, there's definitely still a lot

of rocking and rolling happening behind the scenes. put it that way. >> do you think when they serve the food backstage, they'll get a roll with it ? a roll with it? >> yeah. hopefully. hopefully. and loving all these innuendos . and loving all these innuendos. >> i'm just trying to inject a bit of ludicrousness into something i'm very, very excited about myself. now. do you think they will deliver the same performance that they were capable of back in the days i saw the sex pistols on their comeback tour , and i ummed and comeback tour, and i ummed and hard about going because let's face it, they're getting on a bit. they've been through divorces, but i'm so glad that i went because they still had the magic. do you think we've seen they've both been very successful as solo artists in their own right, and they both perform oasis tracks. they seem tight, they seem up for it, and there's a lot of money on the table. i think fans are going to absolutely go berserk for this. it's going to sell out really, really quickly. >> absolutely. i think so. and tickets are allegedly going to be on sale maybe as quick as next week. with the price point being in around £100, which i think is pretty reasonable. although i imagine a lot of

people will sell those on and make a killing on it. do you know that way? absolutely. but i mean, they're still fairly young men in their 50s, 51 and 56, i think. so no, i think they've still got it. and like you said, they've still been performing while they've been broken up. so they still have got that, you know, showbiz appeal. and they know, showbiz appeal. and they know what they're doing. >> and it's 30 years. of course , >> and it's 30 years. of course, since definitely. maybe so again. again sometimes, you know, you look for that kind of hook. it's now or never and it bnngs hook. it's now or never and it brings the financial deal in. yeah. so i mean, in terms of you as a fan, how many times are you going to go, oh gosh, >> once, once or twice at least. yeah. and it will be very nostalgic for fans. and you know, as well with these concerts , they can get a bit concerts, they can get a bit blurry as well, you know. so it'll definitely be, you know, a big night, put it that way. yeah. >> well i went to the vie festival to see them and i can just about remember it, they came on late as you'd expect. 8 am. tomorrow is meant to be at a.m. tomorrow is meant to be at the time . i suspect they might the time. i suspect they might keep us hanging on a bit later

than 8 am. on the button. that's the way they do it. and irrespective, i think people are going to are going to lap it up. they're going to go and see it. >> and i didn't even think they'd be out of bed by 8 am. no. >> well, probably somebody else will press the button for them. but thank you very much for joining us, julianne trainer, make sure you get your tickets and whatever you do, oasis guaranteed, no doubt, to live forever. the final pun of this houh forever. the final pun of this hour, but plenty more to come in the next hour. i must apologise, i'm getting shouted at in my ear. stop singing, stop saying puns. i can't, i'm afraid. it's in my blood now. still to come. we'll bring you more reaction to the news. the legendary former england manager sven—goran eriksson has passed away, a legend passed away and we'll smile about that. as well as paying smile about that. as well as paying our huge respects on martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel. now it's time for your weather. and here's greg dewhurst . here's greg dewhurst. >> a brighter outlook with boxt

charisma and passion for the game. my thoughts are with his family and friends. a true gentleman of the game , former gentleman of the game, former england player danny mills told gb news. he was one of a kind. >> don't remember sven ever raising his voice, let alone shouting. >> he was very much in the arsene wenger mould of management, spoke very, very softly . his football knowledge softly. his football knowledge was absolutely incredible. >> in other news, everyone has been accounted for after a major incident was declared following the breakout of a fire overnight at a block of flats in dagenham. over 80 people were evacuated from the building, with two people being taken to hospital. london fire commissioner andy rose says a full investigation into the fire and its cause will now get underway. he says there will undoubtedly be concerns around the fire safety issues present within the building, and this will form part of our report. a british man killed by a missile strike in eastern ukraine has been named as safety advisor ryan evans. the 38 year old was part of a reporting crew

deaths of british tech tycoon mike lynch, his 18 year old daughter hannah, and five others. a senior metropolitan police officer says he's tired of saying the same words every year after a woman attended the notting hill carnival with her child and was stabbed. three people were stabbed yesterday at the annual event. the 32 year old mother is in a serious condition in hospital. police have also said 15 officers were assaulted and 90 arrests were made on the first day. a heavy police presence is in place today for the main parade event as it passes through the streets of west london in the middle east. tensions have escalated between israel and hezbollah after an exchange of fire on both sides. the israeli military carried out a series of airstrikes on southern lebanon early yesterday morning, saying it believed hezbollah was planning to carry out an attack on its of its own. the iran backed militants then launched drones at israel, allegedly in response to the killing of one of its top commanders in an

airstrike in beirut on last month. in response to this, the british foreign secretary, david lammy, has urged restraint on both sides . back in the uk, the both sides. back in the uk, the nhs hospital discharge system has been described by the government as broken. a new survey has revealed almost a fifth of uk care providers reported week long waiting times for people to be transferred . for people to be transferred. 17% of respondents said the average length of time for a person to be discharged into their care was 1 to 2 weeks, while around 7% said the average wait was three or more . and some wait was three or more. and some good news now the world's oldest man turns 112 today. john tinniswood was born in liverpool and the secret to his long life is asked how he feels to be turning 112. he told guinness world records in all honesty, no different. he said i don't feel that age. i don't get excited

overit that age. i don't get excited over it and that's probably why i've reached it . those are the i've reached it. those are the latest gb news headlines. for now, i'm tatiana sanchez. i'm back in half an hour for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code, or go to gb news. >> dot com. forward slash alerts . >> dot com. forward slash alerts. >> dot com. forward slash alerts. >> thank you tatyana. now sir keir starmer is set to announce that things will get worse before they get any better. now, i don't remember that in the manifesto to you. the prime minister will also face cronyism allegations as major labour party donor lord waheed alli was given a downing street security pass despite not having a formal job on the premises. and i've discussed this in the studio further with my reporter , gb further with my reporter, gb news adam cherry. adam, welcome to the show. so before the election, we were told that

there would be a relighting of there would be a relighting of the fire of optimism. that fire seems to be quickly reigned away at a pace, and now we're being told to brace ourselves . things told to brace ourselves. things are going to get much, much w0 i'se. woi'se. >> worse. >> yeah. so much for change, right? the government's in—tray of problems is absolutely skyrocketing. you've had the overcrowding of prisons and obviously the riots haven't helped that either. you've got this winter fuel allowance cut, the so—called £22 billion black hole in the public finances , hole in the public finances, which is going to lead into the, the pretty scary halloween budget that we've got coming up. and tomorrow's speech is part of that is, you know, warning people not to expect rabbits out of the hat or a good time for quite a while now . i think the quite a while now. i think the strategy here is get this stuff out of the way early, because there is some truth in saying that some of these problems are inherited, like overcrowding in prisons, for example, make the unpopular choices now and then, bank on the fact that by the

time we get to an election in five years, they can say, look, we're halfway through the job. you know, we've been through the tough bit. give us another five years to get to the really fun stuff that's the idea anyway. of course, you know, it doesn't always work, assuming that the voters have amnesia over the last four years, when you come to an election is always a gamble. it did work to a certain extent with the coalition government in 2010, you know, by the time the tories came to 2015, they were able to offer something a little bit more interesting, and they won a majority, but it does not it's certainly not helped by this cronyism stuff. right. so the cronyism stuff. right. so the cronyism thing is made worse today, as you mentioned, lord waheed ali, a massive party donoh waheed ali, a massive party donor, last 20 years, £500,000 to the party, a lot of cash to starmer personally. now we learn via the sunday times that he's been wandering around downing street with a pass doesn't actually have a job. who gave him that pass? why was that signed off? what was he doing there? now, downing street's response has been to say, well,

it was only for a few weeks. it was to organise a party in the garden and he doesn't have it anymore. but there are still questions over that and it's compounded by the other appointments to the civil service so there are labour insiders, labour donors, there are several of them who have now been given plum jobs at the top of the civil service. and there's a risk of appearing like this undermines civil service impartiality. so little by little, these things are adding up and make a big, a big problem for the government, especially because they say that they or their electoral pitch was change was an end to this hypocrisy to or excuse me, to this sleaze , or excuse me, to this sleaze, this cronyism, cash for jobs. or excuse me, to this sleaze, this cronyism, cash forjobs. so this cronyism, cash for jobs. so the public will look at this and say, or some might say this is reflective of , hypocrisy on the reflective of, hypocrisy on the on the part of the of this new team. >> adam cherry superb stuff. and let's speak now to one of tony blair's former special advisers, john mcternan. john, welcome to the show. always a pleasure to have your company. now, before the general election, we were

told of this relighting of the fire of optimism. a lot of people, said, john, that sir keir starmer was tony blair in disguise . if only when you were disguise. if only when you were working with tony blair back in the day, that election, that campaign, that first year was defined by its almost unbridled optimism, the energy , the optimism, the energy, the positivity we saw came out of that campaign was infectious. no matter what your politics. in stark contrast, john, this first couple of months of starmer ism seems to have been a real downer. is that a mistake? >> it's not even two months yet. it's it was july, the fourth, the election. it's weeks since the election. it's weeks since the general election . and the the general election. and the truth is, the inheritance that tony blair had was much better economically and much better in terms of the rising tax revenues for the for the government. labour's inherited lots and lots of hidden problems. the prisons one was an obvious one, a lots

of problems which were stoked in for the election by by the tory government. like the riots and labour's handling everything i think really well, really professionally. so. and the one thing that keir was elected for was to be a guy who'd level with you and then have a plan to deal with the issues he was talking to you about. so i fully expect to you about. so i fully expect to see a plan as well as a diagnosis tomorrow. and you've seen labour moving swiftly to deal with issues, whether it is the prisons inheritance or the much deferred pay deals in for rail workers or for, or for junior doctors, all those issues were kicked down, you know, kicked down the road by the tories. they've been dealt with by labour. and i think that's the thing which is, you know, starmer's mark as a politician is he'll level with you and then he'll fix it . he'll fix it. >> the trouble with that, though, john mcternan, is that we've seen a 6% downturn in the labour party's popularity. that vote largely seems to have supped

vote largely seems to have slipped over to the reform party, and i wonder if that's because you say that labour is getting things done. it's getting things done. it's getting things done by letting criminals out early , at the same criminals out early, at the same time as locking up people for posting facebook messages. it tells us there's a £22 billion black hole, but then it throws a further £10 billion into that black hole by giving pay rises for the unions for nhs, for teachers, for train drivers, for junior doctors, all of which the pubuc junior doctors, all of which the public has to pay for. so we were promised optimism . instead, were promised optimism. instead, we're having prisoners being let out early and a bigger and bigger financial debt, which taxpayers have got to pick up . taxpayers have got to pick up. >> people are being correctly people are being correctly sent to prison for racist riots in which they intended to burn people alive because they were brown, or because they were black. >> those are actually offences, and the idea that you take it

lightly that people have been in prison for being racist rioters , prison for being racist rioters, is a striking part of the discourse. post the riots , where discourse. post the riots, where where were people attempted to be set on fire? john in rotherham, people have been trying to burn that hotel and burn people alive. that was a terrible, terrible thing to do. >> that was what 1 or 2 individuals and they and they absolutely deserve to be jailed. sir keir starmer in northern ireland was characterising the riots, the whole riots as racist riots. that's been part of the backlash. there's a feeling, john mcternan, that anybody who's complained about the symptoms, the causes behind these riots potentially has been branded as racist. when the riots happened in 2011, in tottenham, when the black community experienced social discourse, sir keir starmer then was in charge of banging people up. that bit happened, but there was also then a conversation about the frustrations and the reasons behind it. do you think that's going to happen under this prime minister with the white working classes or not?

>> i, i deeply, deeply regret that there was not a proper inquiry like the scarman report after the london uprisings. >> absolutely regret that. but as for your suggestion, which i think is beneath you, that the rioters, the racist rioters were in some way expressing anything on behalf of the white working class of britain. i totally disagree with that. they were. i totally, i totally. well, i think it's extraordinary that you think that racist rioters who tried to burn people were saying something. >> i'm not saying that. john. john. john. john please. no! john! what you're doing. john. what? you're doing here is that you're trying to take the actions of a couple of contemptible people who deserve to be in the jail as symptomatic of everybody who expressed a concern about those riots. and you wouldn't do that about the 2011 riots. you wouldn't say that the worst perpetrators there represented everybody who was frustrated about the lack of social cohesion. would you? so why are you doing it now? >> i'm saying there's a really

straightforward lesson to be learned from the racist riots. and that is we have a huge issue in britain . in britain. >> keep calling them racist riots. >> well, that's because they were racist riots, >> everybody who took part was racist. >> we have, we have we have a huge issue in britain. let's say we have a huge issue in britain because there's a minority of people who refuse, who refuse to integrate with british society. they refuse . they refuse to they refuse. they refuse to accept the norms of a british society . they refuse to accept society. they refuse to accept that we are a multi—faith, multiethnic society and those white racist rioters deserve to be met with the full force of the law . the law. >> john watson, do you think that people who come into the united kingdom and refuse to integrate in terms of speaking the language, or they live in silos aside from wider society and they don't integrate? are they also a problem, or is it just the white people looking in who who think that that could be

an issue? i mean, does this go every way or is it just white people that are a problem? >> i'm i'm telling i'm telling you the integration problem is the is this is these white people who refuse to accept that we are a multi—ethnic, multi—faith society , these white multi—faith society, these white people who decide to show us what they think of our country, of our norms by attacking police in riots who show us what they think by by burning down a citizen's advice bureau. they show us what they think by trying to burn people alive because they're white or because they're brown. these are the people who don't integrate, and they need to first be dealt with, and then they need to be taught a way to integrate into the norms of 21st century uk. >> what about the over 140 arrests at the black lives matter riots? what about when officers have been firebombed of labour mps by pro—palestine protesters ? do you share similar protesters? do you share similar chagrin for that, or is your your chagrin only directed at white people , white people, >> the disturbances at the end of one the black lives matters

rallies was dealt with by the police properly, and people were arrested and prosecuted properly. that's what the police do. they they arrest and prosecute people. possibly. but the notion that there are any legitimate concerns being expressed by racist rioters is utterly untrue, and their actions should be condemned. and the notion that they represent or speak for anybody is the most condescending thing that i've ever heard expressed about the white working class . white working class. >> i think as a member of the white working class who grew up a proud member of the white working class, to hear you saying that anybody who took part in those riots is racist, i think is ultimately contemptible, i really do. how can you say that ? everybody who can you say that? everybody who took part in that shared the shared the sentiments of a tiny minority who deserve to be jailed? you would never say that about the tottenham riots, would you? you would never say that . you? you would never say that. >> what i, what i, what i don't understand is why you think that

people who demonstrating , a people who demonstrating, a about refugees, asylum seekers in a hotel in rotherham and trying to burn them alive or anything other than racist or that the people. i'm not saying that the people. i'm not saying that who try to, to try to, to try to try to riot and sympathy and burn down things across the country. i'm absolutely not saying that. >> i've never said at one point, eveh >> i've never said at one point, ever, that i express sympathy with those who try and burn things down. what i'm saying is to intimate that those tiny minority represent the majority is, i think, beneath you. john mcternan . mcternan. >> look, you go along to a racist riot . you're a racist. racist riot. you're a racist. that's it. it's really straightforward. there is no difficulty for me to say that you are attending a racist riot. you're throwing rocks at the police, you're trying to hold the police off from enforcing law and order, and you're doing that on behalf of racists who are trying to burn people alive. you're a racist . are trying to burn people alive. you're a racist. i mean, it looks like a racist, talks like a racist, acts like a racist is

a racist, acts like a racist is a racist. it's the same thing with ducks, you know, that astonishing . astonishing. >> absolutely astonishing that you think that anybody who goes on a riot know what? at what point do they become racist when they turn up at the beginning? or only when things get violent? are they racist from the outset, or only when it kicks off? >> mate , you you're trying to >> mate, you you're trying to distinguish between good rioters and bad rioters . and bad rioters. >> there's no such thing about people, people, people at social protests. okay? you are allowed to protest. but then when it kicks off, you then say, well, everyone was racist at the outset. it's astonishing. >> people. people didn't go to those riots thinking they were attending a prayer vigil. those riots thinking they were attending a prayer vigil . they attending a prayer vigil. they knew what they were attending. they were attending a racist riot. and oddly enough, i think i give people the agency and the and the and the i've got the decency to accept people have agency. you go to a racist riot, you're probably a racist. >> john mcternan. we'll have to leave it there. thanks for joining us on the show today.

it's not often i'm left speechless now. moving on. a british safety adviser has been killed in a missile strike on hotel in ukraine. bnng bring you more on

welcome back. it's 5:25 on martin daubney on gb news. now it's the second day of the notting hill carnival. and despite the bright colours and music, the event always seems to be plagued by crime. now three people were stabbed yesterday, with one in a life threatening condition. so far , police have made over 90 far, police have made over 90 arrests. and joining me now to discuss this is the former senior metropolitan police investigating officer. welcome to the show. now, then, let's talk to you about the state of play talk to you about the state of play of the finances. because you mentioned to me, colin sutton, about how much all of the operation costs, and you put

a tweet out earlier with the numbers, and i was blown away by the numbers. tell us how expensive it costs to police this event . this event. >> you weren't the only one blown away, martin. i didn't know last year. >> apparently cost just shy of £11.75 million. >> this is at the wrong angle. it's . £11.75 million. and, it's. £11.75 million. and, colin, what would you say to people who i spoke to mike neville earlier who said that this is the ultimate example of two tier policing. if people behaved in the way they do at the notting hill carnival for example, at a white working class football match, then there'd be many, many more arrests . arrests. >> i can see that argument. >> i can see that argument. >> it's not one i necessarily agree with. i think the, you know , somebody once said to me know, somebody once said to me that public order policing is the art of the possible. and when you've got, you know, the numbers, you've got there, even with 7000 police officers, you

can't deal with everything that you see, and some of it has to be done afterwards. >> but but the point i the thing that shocked me yesterday that really got under my skin was the fact that you've got a police service in london, which is trying desperately the men and women who are at the front line doing the job, desperately wants to do a good job and desperately wants to do it well. and they're hampered all the time by their lack of resources. >> and yet here we are, spending nearly £12 million on one event and it's, you know, £12 million would pay for, i don't know, even a probably getting on for 200 police officers for a year. >> but i think those police could be doing . and so colin could be doing. and so colin what's the solution if we purely look at this operationally in terms of the cost. for example premier league football games, the football clubs are expected to chip in. do you think it's time for the notting hill? what the organisers or every trader. how would how would we get

through the finances? >> yeah, i don't know. i mean somebody somebody tweeted back to me last night and said, oh it bnngsin to me last night and said, oh it brings in £300 million in trade. >> well, the metropolitan police don't see any of that. >> there's no you know, there's nobody subsidising what it's costing them to put these 7000 officers out for three days. >> and, you know, i think football is a good example, actually, 30 more than 30 years ago, we decided that it wasn't right for the public purse to be subsidising events that people want to go to to, enjoy. >> and stewarding took place. and police withdrew from inside football grounds. by and large , football grounds. by and large, and those that were in there had to be paid for by the clubs themselves, those who are making themselves, those who are making the vast profits on that, you know that if you put this together with the disruption that this event causes to those people who live nearby , i think people who live nearby, i think the time has come to look seriously at looking at, you know, battersea park, hyde park, something like that . something like that. >> put it in, make it more of a festival, put it inside a location where it can be stewarded, where there can be

knife arches, where people can be protected. >> and it isn't at the cost of 7000 police officers having to spend bank holiday weekend. there are £11.7 million being spent by the metropolitan police officers being assaulted. >> members of the public being robbed, stabbed and sexually assaulted . you know, it's just assaulted. you know, it's just why do we allow this to go on? >> why do we allow this to go on in the name of tradition ? in the name of tradition? >> and it's interesting when you look at the figures that you sent me there that we put on the screen, there is £55 million in overtime costs for police work. and of course, that's because it's on a bank holiday and it takes place over a weekend when you add all of that up £11.754 million, an astonishing cost to the public purse. and as you say, it's balanced off by the £300 million coming in or so. we're told. but that doesn't get back to the police as a consequence. this is the taxpayer that fits that bill. if you put this inside a park, it

could be ticketed. it could be controlled, it could be made much more safe. but that would likely encounter massive backlash from the community. and it certainly would from london's mayor, sadiq khan. do you think that's ever likely to happen? >> not while he's mayor, no. and there's no chance, you know, there's no chance, you know, there's no chance of that going in the near future, sadly. >> so, you know, one of the things on there, one of the items on there that i didn't quite understand was £200,000 on hotels. and i thought, where does that come from? it's because we have to have officers drafted in from all over the country to assist. there aren't enough trained and available officers to deal with this event in the metropolitan police. they have to get officers from other forces and of course they need putting up in hotels overnight while they're there, >> it's i just think with all that's going on and all the issues that we have and all the difficulties we have in trying to provide a decent police service for the whole of london, why do we waste this money on one event when it could be done in a much more sensible way in the 21st century? >> and colin, with all of that

in mind, i asked the same question to my first guest. my second guest i'd like to ask you, do you think it's time to end the notting hill in its current format? and as you say, it's current format? and as you say, wsfime current format? and as you say, it's time to move it into a pole. is it time to ditch the carnival? as it stands? >> i don't i don't think it should be ditched. i mean, i it's not one of my favourite events of the year and i've been there a good number of times and remember it and remember the, you know, the fear that we felt on 1 or 2 occasions when we were there and came under fire. but that was a long time ago. it hasn't got much better for police officers doing it, but i understand that it's a it's a cultural festival to some degree, but let's let's have it as a festival. let's have it somewhere where it can be properly and safely policed, but not by the police. where, where, where we can deal with it like we deal with festivals like glastonbury or reading or, you know, anything like that. that's what it is. that's what it's become. why does it have to be in the public streets and with

all the difficulties in policing that that brings ? that that brings? >> okay. thank you very much. former senior metropolitan police investigating officer colin sutton, thanks for joining me on the show . and give me your me on the show. and give me your opinion. superb. now we'll have plenty more to come on the legendary england football manager sven—goran eriksson, as tributes pour in to the former england gaffer and international playboy. but first, here's your latest news headlines with tatiana sanchez . tatiana sanchez. >> martin thank you. the top stories italian lawyer nancy dell'olio has paid tribute to her ex—husband and former england manager sven goran eriksson, after he died at the age of 76. nancy says i choose to remember the good times we shared and the moments that brought joy to our lives. the swedish national became the first ever foreign manager of the england men's football team in 2001. sven also managed a series of high profile clubs such as man city, benfica, roma

channel. welcome back. it's 538. we're on the final furlong. i'm martin daubney on gb news now. ryan evans, a british safety advisor working with the news agency reuters, was tragically killed in a russian missile strike on a hotel in ukraine as tensions in the region continue to escalate. and joining me now to discuss this and tell us more, is the former nato commander, rear admiral chris parry. chris welcome to the show. a very, very sad situation of a former british serviceman caught in this missile attack, ryan evans. tell me , what more do we know tell me, what more do we know about ryan evans and the circumstances of his sad death , circumstances of his sad death, >> well, martin, i can tell you that he. >> he was, i'm afraid to say, killed by an iskander missile, which is a ballistic missile fired by the russians. and i'm afraid it's part of that indiscriminate campaign that the

russians are conducting against the ukrainian population and infrastructure. and i'm afraid to say he's in the wrong place at the wrong time . at the wrong time. >> and, of course, it's a real tragedy. of course it is. >> and we salute his service and obviously mourn his death. >> i've got some pictures on the screen here. this is ryan evans. he leaves behind a family. you see three children there , he was see three children there, he was a former british servicemen , an a former british servicemen, an army, army serviceman who worked with the royal welsh fusiliers. he served in northern ireland. he served in northern ireland. he served in iraq and afghanistan and i was contacted by a buddy of mine who's who's knows of him and said, this is a great loss to those who served with him, he was well known in the close protection circuit. and of course , it's important to and of course, it's important to point out, chris parry, that a lot of former british servicemen go into arenas of war in a capacity to try and keep other

people safe. and that's what was happening in this instance . ryan happening in this instance. ryan evans was bravely assisting reuters journalists in attempts to keep them safe in theatres of war. and, of course, chris parry in theatres of the war. tragedies happen, and that's precisely what's happened here. >> yeah, i'm afraid, you know, people are going in harm's way. >> we saw recently, of course , >> we saw recently, of course, in gaza, the same thing happened with three of our ex—servicemen who got caught up in in the conflict, >> you know , these are not cushy >> you know, these are not cushy jobs by any means. and, you know, they they know what they're going to they they're trained to sort of conduct themselves in these circumstances. >> but it's never risk free. >> but it's never risk free. >> and, quite a few former servicemen take part in this kind of work under the close protection work. they have huge experience of arenas of battle, which makes their services very, very valuable and worthwhile. and they're going into theatres of war like this, particularly to keep journalists safe. very, very noble occupation. is there

any, strategic fallout of the fact that a british national has been killed like this? or, as you say , chris parry, is this you say, chris parry, is this purely part of being in the wrong place at the wrong time and sadly, tragically inevitable in these circumstances? >> yeah, i'm afraid it is. >> yeah, i'm afraid it is. >> i mean, there is no strategic significance other than the fact that it's one more british death we can chalk up to vladimir putin and his criminal regime in moscow. if they hadn't have invaded the place and ryan would still be alive today , he'd be still be alive today, he'd be probably serving somewhere else. >> but obviously not in ukraine. but i think, martin, what's really worth stressing is the ukrainian people are having to sort of suffer this every day of the week , 366 days this year. the week, 366 days this year. they're having to suffer this because of the onslaught from the russians, and they have to get the greatest support from us. and also the knowledge that they we will stick with them to they we will stick with them to the end. >> okay. our thoughts, of

course, with ryan evans family at this time. thank you very much for joining at this time. thank you very much forjoining us. former nato commander, rear admiral chris parry. thank you for helping us on that story . now, the prince on that story. now, the prince of wales has been leading tributes to the former england manager, sven—goran eriksson, who has died from pancreatic canceh who has died from pancreatic cancer. sadly, at the age of 76. and gb news has reporterjack carson joins us now from one of sven's former clubs, manchester city. jack, welcome to the show . city. jack, welcome to the show. >> yeah, well good afternoon to you, martin. i mean, manchester city have lowered their flags here at the etihad stadium to half mast in memory of sven—goran eriksson. he took over as manager here in two thousand and seven. that summer of course, after he left england in in 2006, he was the first manager here in 38 years to lead city to do the double over manchester united, finishing

ninth in the premier league that season , leaving shortly after season, leaving shortly after the season ended . but he was the season ended. but he was here as city started to overturn their fortunes, started to get investment started, to bring in a lot of continental talent, so oversaw very much the start of that change at least, and the start of city's fortunes within the premier league. and doing that double is certainly mean. mean meant that a lot of city fans here had have such great memories of him as well. you were mentioning the prince of wales and his message that he's he's put out on, on the social media platform, saying that he was sad to hear about the passing of sven—goran eriksson, saying how he met him several times as england manager. always struck by his charisma and passion for the game, his thoughts, he says, are with his family and friends and he calls him a true gentleman of the game as well. that's what one fan who ispoke as well. that's what one fan who i spoke to today called him as

well, called him a gentleman. he was from norway, part of the man city norway supporters club, and as neighbours neighbours neighbouring countries to sweden talked about his passion that he saw from sven and how much of a gentleman he was. as well. when you listen to the way players talk about him very much, liking the way that he was calm in the dressing room under pressure, he was calm , provided that calm was calm, provided that calm voice. maybe when there were some stormy times at england, he couldn't have got off to a better start as manager. of course , everyone will remember course, everyone will remember that five one win at the time in qualifying against germany in munich back in 2001, and manager, of course , to the manager, of course, to the infamous free kick from david beckham at old trafford against greece, which secured qualification to the world cup in japan as well. he managed across the world in the philippines, in england, in china , all across the world.

china, all across the world. everyone today , of course, everyone today, of course, bringing their thoughts to sven and his family at this tragic , and his family at this tragic, tragic death, which he was very openly admitted. he knew he wouldn't have long left to live back when he announced his pancreatic cancer diagnosis earlier this year. but take a listen to what that fan i spoke to a little bit earlier on told us. >> us. >> i think it's been so well respected in italy , norway, england. >> he was your national coach. >> he was your national coach. >> he was he was a gentleman. he wasn't. he was just a kind, normal, nice person . i'm a normal, nice person. i'm a norwegian and we are next door neighbours to sweden and sven for me was a super man. >> he was kind , a gentleman, >> he was kind, a gentleman, a totally perfect character . totally perfect character. >> well , in totally perfect character. >> well, in the period since his diagnosis , he talked very openly

diagnosis, he talked very openly about his long held affection for liverpool, for wanting and never being able to achieve managing a game at anfield. that was until just a couple of months ago, when he was able to manage a charity match, talking about how it was a huge memory. absolutely beautiful in liverpool in that charity match against ajax, won four two for sven and since his diagnosis, he's done a documentary which was released just a few days ago, in that he gives his own personal goodbye to the world and the very emotional message. but he says in that message that he thinks he had a good life. he says we're all scared of the day that we die, but life is about death as well. he says, don't be sorry. smile. thank you for everything. take care of yourself. live. take care of yourself. live. take care of your life and live it as well. >> marvellous words there. jack carson at the etihad stadium. tributes there to sven—goran eriksson continue to pour in. thank you very much. now are the gallagher brothers getting back together? is it time to crack open

that champagne supernova? i martin daubney on gb

welcome back now. liam and noel gallagher look set to announce their long awaited return next week. at long last, the feuding brothers have reportedly struck a secret deal for a number of concerts next summer, and i'm joined now in the studio by the showbiz journalist. she's electric, it's hayley palmer, hayley now. welcome to the show. now, some might say this is an awesome comeback. long long overdue. 30 years this week since definitely maybe came out. so is that the catalyst or is someone else? is it like, for example, a massive divorce bill? >> well, he says it's about the money. >> i mean, i don't want to be the one to say that, but he did have to pay 30 million to his ex—wife. so, we'll let everyone at home, you know, think what you think about that one. >> but, look, this is going to be the hottest ticket in town. >> come on. is this not the best

news today? i've had so many calls from some of my old school friends, people of a certain age that are just like, this is the best news ever. >> a lot of guys and girls walking around today very, very happy with this news. >> and i just hope, martin, that this is not a wind up that this is actually happening because rumour has it, it's going to be a year till they start gigging. are they not going to have a big fallout in between? >> then there's going to be a yeah >> then there's going to be a year. so they're announcing tomorrow at 8 am. are they having a party all night? >> and just like coming on air at 8:00? because that's a funny time, isn't it? that's what i'm having. my weetabix. >> it's a very un oasis time. it's a very un rock n roll style sort of time. but maybe that's the point. they've got expensive bills, £20 million and rumour has it, maybe you can fill us in with some showbiz goss. hayley, that sara mcdonald, noel gallagher's ex—wife, was the barrier to the two brothers getting back together because liam and sara has to be said. didn't really like each other whatsoever. but now she's out of the way . perhaps that's the the way. perhaps that's the catalyst, along with the moolah,

to get them back together. >> yeah, i mean , look, there's >> yeah, i mean, look, there's always things, isn't there? >> in families, especially behind the scenes. and when they broke up, there was just so much going on. they were like at each other's throats. it was volatile, but they do seem to be a lot nicer about each other. they've calmed down a little bit, so and sometimes it takes time. but look, for me it's about the music and those songs stand the test of time. we're still singing them now, for and me, music industry has just got a bit boring. i'm like, we want a bit boring. i'm like, we want a bit boring. i'm like, we want a bit of rock n roll, don't we? >> and where do we know where they're going to play those rumours? they want to beat taylor swift's record of eight nights at wembley. they're going for ten nights at wembley. but are they going to go outside of london? yes i've heard that they're going to go up north for me. >> they've got to do glastonbury on the sunday night. that would be epic. that's the one, i'm not going to say anything until i see it in writing tomorrow at 8:00, because. >> but the point is, though , >> but the point is, though, oasis have put out a tweet, liam's put out a tweet, noel's put out a tweet. so it seems

that at last they're all on the same page. >> okay, i just want to get my hopes up, martin, that's all. but i do want a bit of singing from you because i've heard that you're a great singer. >> no. i'm terrible. why don't you give us a blast? >> i'm tone deaf. i'll let you do it. >> i can't do it now. some might say it's time to end the show. thank you very much, hayley. always a pleasure. now there's a new way to get in touch. get in touch. the usual ways. gbnews.com/yoursay. it's dewbs& co is up next. now, if you haven't had enough of me on this bank holiday monday, i'm back on gbn tonight, 7:00 till 8 pm. we're going to be covering the notting hill carnival again today. we've covered that a lot today. we've covered that a lot today. there were 90 arrests last night. there were a bunch of stabbings . one was a life of stabbings. one was a life threatening incident. is it time to lose the notting hill carnival? or at least to move it into a safer venue? that's all coming up. i'll be back 7 to 8, but now it's time for your. weather. >> a brighter outlook with boxt
