10:07 am
some going up the latest
10:08 am
in the uk and ireland for oasis. that's 1.4 in the uk and ireland for oasis. that's1.4 million tickets, right at the moment, it would seem that 14 million plus people are trying to buy those 1.4 million tickets. they originally did . for the real fans, did. for the real fans, a presale on that via their website. and you needed to sign up for that presale on their website, answer a series of questions . some of them were questions. some of them were based on how well you knew the band and their music. confirm who you were. you were then given a code to be used to get into the presale. then there was a ballot. so you've got an email to say that you've been chosen to say that you've been chosen to get into the presale. then you've got the code, then you're in the ballot, then you've got your tickets. but this is an excess of demand over supply, which happens when big acts are put their tours on sale. people have been talking about oasis
10:09 am
getting back together for the last ten years, and in serious terms in the last two years, so i'm not surprised to hear that the demand is at the moment, completely outweighing supply. >> what's your thoughts on oasis ? >> what's your thoughts on oasis? because i'll be honest, lots of our viewers commenting and emailing this morning are saying they're just a beatles tribute band and their music is pretty mediocre. is that a bit unfair ? mediocre. is that a bit unfair? >> well, look, you can have a p0p >> well, look, you can have a pop at any band you like or dislike. oasis have a very, very strong fan base. they captured the zeitgeist at britpop , you the zeitgeist at britpop, you people have said they are. they've ripped off in particular the vocal style of john lennon. but they wrote some very indelible, songs that are have stood the test of time . and stood the test of time. and whether you, whether you and i like them is really immaterial because there are literally millions of fans, some of whom live in america, who are trying to come over to see these concerts, or on the continent .
10:10 am
concerts, or on the continent. they are one of the biggest band uk bands of all time in that respect. and the demand for these concerts is proving that i mean, blur came back and did two nights at wembley. there was no real, there was none of this mad scramble for them. and they are. they were one of the key bands of britpop , and now oasis have of britpop, and now oasis have proved how very popular they are. and it's i mean, personally, i won't be going , personally, i won't be going, but you know, millions are trying to . trying to. >> and nick, sorry to be cynical, but i would be concerned if you're towards the latter end of the dates of these 17 dates on this tour, i'd be a little bit worried that perhaps this truce doesn't hold between the two brothers. perhaps they won't get through to those latter dates. what do you think? >> well, i suspect the promise of untold riches, if you understand me, will probably keep them. keep them going , they keep them. keep them going, they have, you know , they've they've
10:11 am
have, you know, they've they've signed up. they've contracted to do 17 shows. if after three, they're having a bust up, it would be, well, it would just be catastrophic. so i, i suspect they will, i suspect they'll make it work. >> yeah. and of course, noel gallagher's got a pretty pricey divorce to cough up for as well . divorce to cough up for as well. £20 million. so i think the tour may help with that a little bit. nick, thank you very much for joining us this morning. >> nick. >> nick. >> thank you very much. i think if you're a fan, this is your moment. >> there's evidently fans. the tickets are going wild. i know viewers at home aren't fans of them. fine. i hear you, but i think it's still a pretty big story. if you are a fan and you have managed to nab a ticket today, do let us know. >> or if you're still in the queue, let us know because there will be some of you out there. 14 million of you. so i'm sure some gb news viewers. >> yeah, i wouldn't mind going. i just, can't be bothered to pay for it. can't be bothered to travel there. >> if you've got a gifted, you'd be. yeah, yeah i'll go, i'll go. yeah. same as me. same as me, so if you want to do that as well, feel free, now, should we look
10:12 am
through the top stories of today? we're delighted to be joined by our panel. alex cairns and candice holdsworth. so good to see you both this morning. good morning to you both. >> morning, alex. you've just got back from holiday haven't you. yes i have, i spent a week in italy. it was very nice. lake como, lake como. yeah. okay. all right. so the big revelation this morning is alex had a bit of trouble in lake como. what happened? do you mind sharing the story with us? yeah, sure. so i was. we, me and my friends rented a boat for a couple of hours. we went out into the lake having a good time. i thought it'd be a good idea to jump in the water, so a few of my friends followed suit. i swam away from the boat. and then was about 30 or 40m away from the boat. and just realised i was getting quite tired and started to panic . i getting quite tired and started to panic. i just think i was like, in my mind, i was like, i can't get back, what am i going to do? and in that moment i just started to like lose my breathing and just was going underwater. and luckily i kind of got my mate's attention. who got the guy that was driving the boat attention, who kind of threw a, rubber rubber raft thing , and then luckily, you
10:13 am
thing, and then luckily, you know, i found some energy because it didn't even come close to me. i still had to swim to it. so i was quite far away from the boat, but it was quite scary because i think in the space of 20 30s, i just found myself not being able to float, breathe, do anything, you know? yeah. we saw your tweet on twitter with the video and it looks terrifying. are you a decent swimmer? i'm a decent swimmer. yeah, and that's what. that's what was scary. i think, like, i kind of i was jokingly saying to my friends, i was like, should we jump in because we need to make sure that we're going to be all right? you know, steel is a deep lake. there's still lots of boats that go around, but it's a sunny day. i thought, we have to. and it was really nice. but the only thing that concerned me is i'm a good swimmer. but the moment i realised i was really tired and couldn't get back to the boat, i just started to panic. and that's the worst thing you can do in that situation. i know that everyone says try and be relaxed, you know, just try and float in that moment. you just you're kind of your fight, fight or flight kind of instincts kick in. and i just thought to myself, gosh, like, what am i going to do here? because, you know, there was loud music on the boat.i there was loud music on the boat. i couldn't get my mate's attention to start with. and every second, when you can't feel like you can swim, it's
10:14 am
just terrifying. absolutely terrifying. goodness me. well, look , i'm glad you're with us look, i'm glad you're with us today. yes, so am i. i'm glad i'm here. yeah. and a warning, i guess, that, you know, to any people swimming in, not just open water, but any, you know, swimming pools or whatever, just try and relax if you can. i think the rnli say the best thing you can do if you're in water. lay back, lay back and float and try and compose your breathing. because, as you said, the moment you start panicking, your breathing is shorter. you're expending energy. but yeah, sounds terrifying. thank you for sharing that story with us. >> us. >> thanks guys. that with us? look, we've been talking about the outdoor smoking ban or plans at least to ban outdoor smoking this week. it seems ministers might want to go a step further. alex the government wants to create a society in which there is no smoking, says the times. yes. >> so the government have been deciding this week whether they should go a little bit further. you know, there's been a lot of talk over the last few years and a rishi sunak was quite keen to kind of ban smoking for certain age groups, and they, they want to get to a point where we can create a society in which there is no smoking as it pushes ahead
10:15 am
with plans to ban cigarettes and beer gardens. now, there's been a lot of controversy about this. you know, i actually posted online, you know, not surprisingly, a lot of people disagreed with me, but a lot of people actually agreed with me . people actually agreed with me. and i'm someone that actually doesn't like smoking. never smoked myself, you know, unfortunately, i lost grandparents to smoking. a lot of people in family actually know people that have died from lung cancer or had some sort of cancer history in their family. and actually, you know, some of my friends smoke and even they would admit it's a dirty habit . would admit it's a dirty habit. and why should i or anyone that doesn't smoke in a beer garden? sometimes they're not massive places to sit near someone and you become a passive smoker. people forget that you know, they compare it. oh, but what about banning drinking? what about banning drinking? what about banning drinking? what about banning everything? we're going to become a nanny state, alex, couldn't you just go inside? because smokers arguably have already been kicked out of indoors, you know, venues and pubs and so on in recent years. so the gardens outside is the only sort of refuge they've got. can't you just go inside? well, yeah. but couldn't they just not smoke? i mean, the argument here, right, is why should i that don't smoke. you know, the
10:16 am
smoke comes, it might come your way. and i've seen so many arguments in beer gardens where people say, oh, can you move? and they're like, no . and it and they're like, no. and it becomes an issue and people cannot compare it to drinking. right saying that drinking also causes lots of harm for people. no because if i drink, it won't have an issue. if someone's not drinking next to me, you know, my wine is not going to somehow end up in their mouth, you know? whereas if i smoke and they don't, i'm going to inhale the fumes. i become a passive smoker. it's completely different. you know, candice , do different. you know, candice, do you like a cheeky cigarette? are you like a cheeky cigarette? are you a smoker? >> i don't, so i have a similar story. i had a very close family member who died from emphysema caused by smoking, and the way he suffered at the end of his life. i wouldn't wish that on anyone. so i would advise anyone. so i would advise anyone. don't smoke. but i do have libertarian leanings philosophically. so for me, i always i will always prioritise personal freedom. so i would say give people the information like i will give them the information. it's really bad for you , don't start. but i think you, don't start. but i think ultimately it's up to them to make that decision, not the government. and i think smoking is on the way out anyway. you
10:17 am
know, younger people aren't picking up smoking. i mean, you might see headlines saying smoking is back because this celebrity has started smoking , celebrity has started smoking, but actually fewer and fewer people are smoking now. and that's because i think people understand it's bad for your health. so i am not sure why the government feels it needs to force the issue, because i think society is going that way anyway. and temperamentally i'm just generally not someone who likes coercive measures. >> do you think that this ban would include vaping? because talking about young people, i mean, it's vaping. >> i was just going to say, yeah, it's not smoking . they're yeah, it's not smoking. they're all vaping. and by the way, they're very cheap. they're really easy to get. and when you when you have a vape the, the, the smoke, it still goes towards you. it's a different type of substance, but it's exactly the same problem. yeah. >> it's different though. i mean it's water vapour. so i mean scientifically it's not the exact same stuff that you get from smoke smells better at least than cigarettes. >> it's not safe. i was listening to a scientist the other day saying that vaping is not safe, but it's much, much safer for you than cigarettes. yes, yes, yes. >> so also, it's a bit of a weird move politically for the government to be tackling right now. it's kind of, you know, as
10:18 am
you said, smoking is going down the pan anyway. not very many people are taking it up anymore and it just seems a bit of a bizarre move politically to start attacking. >> well, they're quoting excess deaths on the nhs aren't they. so they're quoting this 88,000 people that die every year because of smoke related diseases. it's all this stuff. yes. put together. but the thing thatis yes. put together. but the thing that is very interesting is that you are not banning people from smoking so far. no. yeah. the times this morning. but you are banning people from smoking in pub gardens. so this is actually going to impact the hospitality sector isn't it. more than the health sector. >> and that's what a lot of people are saying as well. i don't know. i think you're right. i think a lot of it's now looking at population level health. so i mean, there was also a story this week saying people may be weighed at work to see if they're obese because they. what's the worst nightmare? yes, exactly. i think it's everyone's worst nightmare. but i think this is what they're going for now. it's less sort of giving people the information to make their own decisions, and they're actually saying, no, we're going to sort of nudge you in the right direction using the measures we have, because we
10:19 am
want to take strain off the pubuc want to take strain off the public health service. >> yeah, yeah, i was just going to say i think that actually is the key point they're trying to prevent. they have a preventative strategy with this. right. because what we're saying is too many people end up in hospital and they don't want a situation where they have to build lots of new hospitals. there isn't. there isn't the funding, as we know, with infrastructure projects in this country , it's always lay always country, it's always lay always over budget. it takes a long time. so actually they're trying to step in and try and make people more health conscious so that we don't have a situation where we're trying to build lots more hospitals and, and actually thinking about how can we make society a more healthy place. and that involves trying to discourage people from going out for a drink and smoking in a beer garden. yeah, well, they should be focusing on obesity first. i mean, that's the bigger. the bigger issue is a bigger. the bigger issue is a big killer, isn't it? >> it certainly is. and can we talk about ibiza for a moment? because somebody has been in ibiza haven't they. yes. >> was it last week. yeah. only. only for three nights. yeah. the wife and i went to ibiza for a very quick getaway. no kids. felt very guilty about leaving the kids and we video called them on the first day and they couldn't care less . but you had
10:20 am
couldn't care less. but you had a lovely time, didn't you? >> yeah, it was amazing. >> yeah, it was amazing. >> did you happen to stumble across angela rayner? any of the clubs out there? >> no, but of course she has been this now infamous video. i don't know if we've got it, but yeah she was well she's doing raving with one finger up from angela rayner. >> yeah. in the dj booth. >> yeah. in the dj booth. >> she's ten years. she's ten years older than me. i'm 35. here's the video. >> here it is. there you go. i'm telling you, it's just the one move it seems. >> do you know what? i'm 35 now. i couldn't think of anything worse than going to ibiza and going out to a club. i simply cannot be bothered. so i mean, fair play for having the energy, but not for me. >> does this bother you seeing a politician? >> well, the problem with that was it was the day after keir starmer's doom laden speech about how britain is going to get worse. >> obviously, days after they've pred >> obviously, days after they've ripped the winter fuel allowance for pensioners and saying that, you know, everyone's going to be skint come october. so it's a little bit tone deaf. but what did you think, alex? i'm not sure i'm going to agree with you. i actually think, you know, most normal people go on a holiday, have a drink with their friends, have a little groove to whatever she's i don't know. i don't know what the song is, by the way. i'd be quite curious to know what the song is, but, you
10:21 am
know, she's a human, like anyone. and actually, it's good to see politicians being quite relatable. you know, they're really stiff and they're trying to act like they're not normal. they don't have a normal life. we all know they do have normal lives. they're just trying to act like they don't. and actually, i think a lot of people can relate to angela going on holiday. you know, you when a lot of people like ibiza, a lot of my friends like ibiza, i think maybe it will encourage or help the hospitality sector in ibiza. seeing the deputy prime minister in a club. who knows, right. i did a season there as a kid. the only problem with this with this situation is right. the daily mirror in 2022 did a story on michael gove doing the exact same thing. the headune doing the exact same thing. the headline was sacked. tory minister michael gove raves it up in ibiza . ibiza as millions up in ibiza. ibiza as millions face bills crisis. so the daily mirror at that time said no, no, not very good politician but now it's angela rayner. it's like oh look at angela being a normal person. yes, exactly . person. yes, exactly. >> everyone said michael gove was being pathetic. look at him. he's cringe. but now it's cool to do it. i must say i feel very conflicted watching her because i think she's she's quite young, you know, she's having fun and they should be able to do it.
10:22 am
but there's a part of me and this is just my instinct. you expect a little bit more gravitas from us, our senior politicians, and i don't know where that comes from. >> i think so, yeah. >> i think so, yeah. >> yeah, that's how i feel . >> yeah, that's how i feel. >> yeah, that's how i feel. >> so she's not allowed to go out and have a good time and like , have well what do you like, have well what do you expect her to do though? >> i've told you i feel i feel conflicted about it. i feel conflicted about it. i feel conflicted about it. i feel conflicted about it. i don't feel one way. it's not absolutist, but i just think when you look at them, when you look at the deputy prime minister and you sort of see her doing that, men and women. and it was the same with michael gove.i it was the same with michael gove. i felt the same with michael gove. i was just like, oh, what's he doing? you know, i know what you mean. >> it's the double standards, isn't it? i mean, i think that all politicians should be able to let their hair down and have a normal life and enjoy themselves. i think their job is themselves. i think theirjob is hard enough to be honest with you, but the rules should apply to everybody. everybody should be allowed to have a day off and enjoy. is that your seen sort of five shots for ,5 down the strip in ibiza? >> no not really. >> no not really. >> why is it yours. >> why is it yours. >> no, it used to be when i was 18, not 19. no >> anyway, should we just have a quick look at this one in the daily mirror? this is about ozempic, which we're hearing lots about at the moment, but
10:23 am
this is a new benefit, candice. it could slow the signs of ageing, so it's so interesting. >> we're learning a lot more about semaglutide, which is the key ingredient in ozempic and wegovy. and at first scientists thought it just acted on the gut, so it made you feel full. so you didn't eat more. but there's been so much research now, and they're finding that it can slow down ageing. it actually works on the brain . so actually works on the brain. so it's been curing people of their addictions. so people have been . addictions. so people have been. on ozempic and have suddenly found they don't drink alcohol anymore, which is fascinating. i think we're learning a lot more about the gut brain connection that the two are very, very related. and there's a lot we don't know about it. >> interesting. alex, what do you make of it? >> yeah, i mean, listen, anything that will stop ageing, i think people will be very, very in favour. you know, the interesting thing about this is i think people because of social media, this is probably the negative side of social media. i think people become very conscious of their look, you know, they get very worried about are they ageing? you know, lots of people probably from a younger age start to, you know, put makeup on or a lot of guys
10:24 am
feel like they have to, you know, go gym all the time. so i think we need to have a balance where people don't feel that they have to look a certain way and any like grey hair, they have to like, dye their hair, you know, or any like wrinkles. they have to do something. i think there needs to be some balance here, because i do know personally, people that get very like conscious looking in the mirror every morning. i'm like, oh my gosh, i'm ageing. you know ? oh my gosh, i'm ageing. you know? yes, yes, it's a natural thing. >> people do age and there's that billionaire who made headunes that billionaire who made headlines by taking, i think it was blood platelets from his son. yes. >> brian. brian something. yeah i've seen that. >> and it's vampiric. i mean you sort of think okay, it's too much isn't it. yeah. you're going to age and you have to age gracefully, and we're sort of taking that away from the younger a little bit, 100%. >> yeah. i quite like that guy. >> yeah. i quite like that guy. >> of course you do . >> of course you do. >> of course you do. >> tapping up my kids for some in the trial, alex. >> and it's good to see you. see you in an hour's time. >> we've had some very quick emails about childhood nostalgic favourites. and lisa, you say space dust that crackles on your tongue. good shout . and dec, you tongue. good shout. and dec, you said as a kid, does anyone remember britvic? orange juice and ten bags of sweets while

influence the way people react to you, it also extends the key factor for this is what we wear, apparently on a daily basis. >> yes, it's all about how we present ourselves to the world. well, we're joined now by oriana robb, a leading london personal stylist who for the past decade has helped people discover and showcase their unique style , showcase their unique style, ensuring that they make a strong first impression from the very beginning. oriana, really good to see you this morning. thank you for joining to see you this morning. thank you forjoining us in to see you this morning. thank you for joining us in the studio. shall we start with first impressions? because it is about what you look like, what you wear. when i first saw you this morning, i thought, wow, beautiful. thank you. you looked so, so lovely. it does make an impact, doesn't it? >> yes. i'm very happy to be here. yes, we spent about we all very visual. so 70% of population will make a judgement on someone just by looking at them. and we within 2 or 3 seconds we make a decision. if
10:30 am
we like someone or not really. is it that quick? so it's actually very very fast. so before we have a chance to kind of express what we want to say, our subconscious mind is kind of looking for clues to, to assess our kind of status. so you look at someone and you look at their, for example, i don't know, the watch they're wearing, maybe the makeup that they've kind of put on, maybe it's, i don't know, shirt that was an iron properly. and you think, oh, they haven't kind of had time to iron the shirt. so we're looking for clues . this is just looking for clues. this is just this is how we are, how we are wired. so it's very important that we do plan and think about how we want other people to perceive us. >> so you're now a pretty key player in the london fashion game and the style game. what's your story? are you polish and polish? yes. how did you get started? >> so my personal story began in the vibrant streets of poland. my the vibrant streets of poland. my mom owned a denim shop and i spent literally my whole childhood learning, being
10:31 am
absolutely mesmerised by my mom , absolutely mesmerised by my mom, ability to choose different styles of clothing for different styles of clothing for different style personalities. and this is where i just thought, i really where ijust thought, i really love that. that's what i you know, i played, makeovers on my friends. i was learning about my own style, but when i moved to the uk in about 1997, i was a little bit kind of it was a bit of a culture clash. i had to so the style in poland was slightly different to the style here. >> are you saying we're scruffy? us brits? >> well, do you find british fashion? >> how would you describe that? >> how would you describe that? >> well, i think british definitely take a pride in their appearance. >> they do spend time to look good. there is a lot of amazing british designers that i work with and that i absolutely admire, but it was a journey. it wasn't just like this, but i've realised that personal style. so for me it was always about that
10:32 am
feeling that i've learned from my mom's shop how the people were living, buying certain things, and i was like, oh my god, they look happy. they've got this big smile on their face. so i, i felt that i wanted to do the same. i wanted to make people feel good and confident , people feel good and confident, and that's how my journey was unfolding. so i was doing a bit of makeup artistry. then i opened a restaurant and my main objective always was to make people feel good. so now as a stylist, i help them to go through style therapy . so what through style therapy. so what we do, we try to find language thatis we do, we try to find language that is associated with what we wear . i that is associated with what we wear. i look at the i helped, i helped them to discover colours that are good for their colours , that are good for their colours, that are good for their colours, that they wear them close to their face, but also it sets the tone for their wardrobe. and then we look at the outfit formula. so it's yeah, it's the whole so it's what's happening here in your head , what's
10:33 am
here in your head, what's happening in your heart and how you are able to express this through your clothes. okay. >> come on in. first impressions of ellie and her style. >> ellie, what about you? >> ellie, what about you? >> so i find three. i like to use three words that i tell my clients to kind of think about. how would you like other people to describe you when you're not in the room? okay, so when i look at ellie's, dress sense, i was just thinking, okay, she likes to be polished . likes to be polished. >> i do like to be polished. >> i do like to be polished. >> exactly. so polished or kind of done? not undone. not kind of like. no. it needs to be, like, really elegant. elegant timeless. i look at the reference to the dress you're wearing today. is that kind of chanel black and white, timeless? never go out of fashion. so for me , it's about fashion. so for me, it's about it's not the trends , but how you it's not the trends, but how you would like your personal style to be and how timeless it can be. >> ariana, do you want to come back every week? every week?
10:34 am
yes. you can stay here if you're calling me timeless and elegant, but it's interesting you say that because about a year ago i tried to make a conscious effort not to buy into trends and fashion anymore. do your own thing. so i'm just trying to buy what suits me. buy classic pieces. maybe spend that little bit more, but buy fewer and just keep them in the wardrobe for years and years and years. that's my plan. >> that's a great plan. thank you. because i feel like we should definitely look at the trends, because the trends can kind of set the tone where you want to go. so look at pinterest, look at instagram and really narrow down what you like and what you dislike and think about the words that i've just mentioned. so timeless and elegance. so if it's something that you see on someone, but it looks good on them, it might not necessarily look good on you. so you always have to stay true to who you are. >> i like that that's good advice. come on then. what do you make of this one here? >> all right. scruff. >> all right. scruff. >> no. >> no. >> absolutely not. scruff. i was just i really loved that kind of a linen avant garde look. so i was just thinking the first, the first thought that came into my
10:35 am
mind was avant garde. >> what is avant garde? so avant garde. >> is that slightly undone? like, you're not trying really hard. >> oh, yeah . >> oh, yeah. >> oh, yeah. >> yeah. so it's like, you know, like, instead of instead of polished. so it kind of looks a little bit more relaxed. yeah maybe a bit more kind of natural . maybe a bit more kind of natural. i don't know in a way, because the colours you are wearing. so they're very earthy colours. you're wearing navy and stone there you are, earthy, earthy and grounded. there you are grounded, avant garde , earthy. grounded, avant garde, earthy. >> have you got any sort of general tips for men who i mean, like me, i'm not mega into fashion, but men find it hard actually, in terms of first impressions, especially in a professional setting. >> and i know a lot of men that really struggle with with knowing how to. >> i can't be bothered half the time when i'm when i'm not at work. i mean, last week i threw out or the week before i threw out or the week before i threw out half my wardrobe. i just want seven t shirts, a couple of pairs of trousers and just play it simple. but have you got any general tips for men who don't really want to push the boat out and go down? you know, sort of the whole fashion route, but do
10:36 am
want to maybe just improve their look just a little bit . look just a little bit. >> well, the first thing i would definitely say look into your wardrobe, have a look what you've got and get rid of everything that doesn't serve you anymore. or it's been kind of done and you probably won't be wearing anymore. and then, as you've mentioned , invest in the you've mentioned, invest in the best quality that you can afford, because when you wear something a little bit more tailored. so look, even your shirt today , the way you kind of shirt today, the way you kind of put the sleeves out, it's a kind of it's this, this unspoken language that when someone sits and kind of observing your body language, this is, you know, the buttons are slightly different colours. so you've got a little bit of kind of, different look to, to what normal kind of very well ironed shirt would give you. yeah >> okay. >> okay. >> so i would definitely love in that capsule wardrobe for men. just think about it. plan ahead. plan ahead. david beckham organised his wardrobe one week
10:37 am
in advance. we can do that. that's definitely. yeah. >> we're almost run out of time with you . but i have just got with you. but i have just got a really interesting comment. we'd like your views on this one. jill, good morning to you. jill says.i jill, good morning to you. jill says. i think we've become a very scruffy, very slobby nation. do you think we have going going for our tracksuits and our, our comfies over making and our, our comfies over making an effort? >> well, definitely. since covid, everything has kind of changed a little bit and people don't want to , you know, even don't want to, you know, even normal corporate look is a little bit confusing. lots of people don't know how to express that, i think there is definitely room for improvement. i think we can definitely , even i think we can definitely, even when we're doing a casual look loungewear, if we are wearing, i don't know , trainers, just make don't know, trainers, just make sure that they are a little bit more polished, a bit more cleaner. and, every day we have a chance to show up to the world. and if we do it well, it can really give you a competitive advantage, both in personal and professional level. >> no, i agree with great good
10:38 am
tips. >> it's hard though, sometimes as a dad with a newborn because, well, 18 months is, but i'm constantly getting snots and slobber on me and my father in law. hi, steve. he comes round and says, my wife will laugh at this. he says, ben, you've got a bit of a bit of a stain on your thing. i said, yeah, i know, i know, thank you. >> oh, you're juggling it all, aren't you , ben? thank you. aren't you, ben? thank you. arianna. my pleasure, my pleasure. thank you so much as well. let us know what you think about that one. gbnews.com/yoursay >> coming up, we'll be meeting pub landlord simon delaney, who , pub landlord simon delaney, who, despite not being a smoker himself, isn't a fan of the government smoking ban in pub back gardens. >> but next we'll get the latest from the us presidential race with our favourite aspen. we'll be back in
10:39 am
10:40 am
10:41 am
>> 1041 ben inla with you on >>1041 ben inla with you on saturday morning live now over to the us presidential race, where donald trump has been accused of a u—turn after saying he will vote to keep a six week
10:42 am
abortion ban in florida. less than 24 hours after saying it was too short and pop legends abba are demanding trump's presidential campaign remove videos featuring their songs. >> not another one. >> not another one. >> well, to tell us more, we're delighted to be joined again this week by journalist and author nelson aspen. good morning, nelson from stateside. first of all, what's this abba situation? we saw it with the foo fighters, i think. was it beyonce as well who complained in previous weeks? can't quite remember . remember. >> everybody gets very nervous and politically correct when their music is used, regardless of whether or not they're making money from it. and i think abba is kind of rich when you consider how much money they're making now off their virtual concerts, you know, where would we be without dancing queen? and not that that's a song i think donald trump would want playing at one of his rallies. but yeah, everybody's sort of trying to drift into the centre now, both candidates, because they're they're wooing and courting the undecided middle. so that's why we've been seeing lots of drifting to the centre from both candidates . candidates. >> one issue is quite imperative
10:43 am
to that kind of central to keeping things central, if you like nelson and donald trump is in a bit of a sticky situation with this one, isn't he? >> absolutely. and he's he's known actually, before he was a presidential candidate when he was in new york city, businessman, new york city here is a very liberal place. he was he was not perceived as a as an extremely right candidate. so i think naturally he's more of a centrist. but over the years he's become known more for his right of centre views. and certainly with kamala harris, her big speech this week, we've always considered her as rather extreme and to the left by by political standards. but she she has drifted much to the centre. and the takeaways from her speech this week, which were rather short on substance as well as style, was the fact that she kept saying her values have not changed and a lot of her detractors are seizing on that as some kind of dog whistle that
10:44 am
she's trying to say, look, i'm still a lot more left than you think i am, but that will remain to be seen. she's right now flip flopping on a lot of the issues that when she initially ran for president, back before she became a vice president, she was very extreme in her views . and very extreme in her views. and she wants us to know, wink, wink, her values have not changed. >> and nelson, she finally gave an interview to cnn. of course , an interview to cnn. of course, where it was described as a car crash, to say the least. she was saying, look, it's time for the winds of change. we need change in this country. and i was sitting there watching and thinking, hang on a minute, lady. you've been vice president for the past four years. what do you mean, change? you've been ahead of the head of the government pretty much. >> she is certainly not the candidate of change. although we did enjoy the democratic national convention that was full of glitz. it was full of excitement. it was full of fire, unlike that interview. and when she talks about change, you have to remember not only has she been the vice president for three and a half, nearly four years, but before that she was a
10:45 am
senator from california. she was a district attorney. she was the attorney general. she has over two decades of government experience. so it isn't change. although in many ways, the world is getting to know her for the first time. >> now, nelson, you know that we love talking to you every single week and you making sense of the us presidential race for us. you have a new book coming out. don't you? tell us a bit more about that. >> it is out now. it's called dancing between the raindrops the hollywood years. and what's interesting about this book is it charts my 30 years in breakfast television. from the time i moved to los angeles in 1990. and yes, of course, there were plenty of celebrities and glitz and glamour, but it really did affect the way i learned to report stories, beginning with the la riots , earthquakes, you the la riots, earthquakes, you know, the northridge earthquake and then i was closely involved with the oj. simpson double murder trial. so that was a big part of my reporting, the deaths of michael jackson and heath
10:46 am
ledger , and most notably, ledger, and most notably, considering the fact that it's on this day in history, the death of princess diana and covering that for the hollywood beat was a unique experience, especially the fact that it was princess diana who gave me my start in broadcast television back in the 90s, when i was a struggling aerobics instructor, and she had an interest in step aerobics. they brought me to to london train in step aerobics for the princess's trainer. so it's a it's a full circle moment. and here we sit. i'm honoured to be with you. >> that sounds like a whole different conversation than we could speak about for a long, long time. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> nelson yasmin. thank you so much for joining >> nelson yasmin. thank you so much forjoining us. i look forward to chatting with you again next week. >> nelson. just before we let you go, if people do want to get a handle on your book where can we find it? >> you can find it on amazon. and if it's not at your bookstore, you must demand it. dancing between the raindrops. the hollywood years. >> all right, nelson, good to see you. thank you very much. >> sounds like a cracking story, doesn't it? coming to london, diana, to teach aerobics.
10:47 am
>> wow, what a story, man. full of stories. >> that one. anyway, we'll be joined by pub landlord next. isn't best pleased the government's plans to ban
10:48 am
10:49 am
10:50 am
welcome back to saturday morning live. >> now this has become one of the biggest stories of the week, hasn't it? the outdoor smoking ban or plans at least to ban smoking outdoors. pub bosses have hit out at sir keir starmer's plan to look at extending the indoor smoking ban to outdoor spaces , saying it to outdoor spaces, saying it could destabilise an industry already under immense pressure. >> seems a bit of a weird political move to me. but anyway, the prime minister has confirmed labour is looking to extend the indoor smoking ban brought in under tony blair and gordon brown, of course, to try and ease the pressure on the nhs. so we're joined now by pub landlord simon delaney. good morning simon. okay, let's get straight ben. >> good morning alex. good morning. >> what do you make of this? it's a lot of landlords. and
10:51 am
your colleagues are saying it's a load of nonsense. and beyond that, it's really going to hit you quite hard financially . you quite hard financially. >> well, you've just said it. it's a very weird thing that he's even brought it up, to be honest, because i don't even think it's actually an issue, if it were to go ahead, what is he after achieving? we're already an industry that is struggling massively , you know, because of massively, you know, because of all other reasons. and, you know, the previous government showed little interest and little help for our industry after covid. and it looks like that these are going to do the same as well. i can understand the ban in certain areas, you know, like people choose to come to a pub or choose not to. we are business owners and we do what we think is best for making this business viable. so i just picking on pubs, it would just be another nail in the coffin for beer garden behind you. >> it looks absolutely fabulous. big floral wall. you've got behind you and the heaters and you're really well set up for lots of people outside in your beer garden. just give us a sense of how many people are actually standing outside with a
10:52 am
fag in their hand and a pint. is that what you see? a lot of, or are we seeing more people are vaping now? >> well, yeah, vaping. vaping is the one. but i think since since the one. but i think since since the smoking ban, we've all sort of changed the smokers. first of all, i'm a non—smoker, so i'm not standing up for the smokers out there. i'm a non—smoker. not standing up for the smokers out there. i'm a non—smoker . and out there. i'm a non—smoker. and i agree with what in hindsight now with what happened in two thousand and seven with the ban. yes, loads of pubs closed , but yes, loads of pubs closed, but when we look back now and we think, wow, this is such a better business, a better environment inside and you know , environment inside and you know, everyone's healthier, you could say so . people tend to socially say so. people tend to socially understand that if you're going to have a cigarette, you get up and go and stand away. and we've got a huge space out here and since, you know, we invested massively in two thousand and seven to our outside areas and it's not a problem, i can't remember once sitting out here and having food, having drinks and having food, having drinks and thinking, oh, i wish they'd go away with that smoke. it doesn't happen. and that's the, the, the weird thing about it, i don't think there's a problem.
10:53 am
70% of the population used to smoke. now is it 10 or 15%? i know it's still 6 million people, but i think if they ban it, it's not going to take away the smokers. will carry on banning but carry on smoking. >> simon very briefly because we're running out of time. but do you think, as some people have suggested, there's kind of, you know, maybe an unspoken agenda to kind of get rid of pubs, i guess, and get rid of everything that's great about britain and the heritage. is that just a load of conspiratorial nonsense or what do you reckon? >> well, it looks like that way, doesn't it? you know, with the previous government were exactly the same. everything they do seems to not. they don't understand the value of the great british pub, you know. and if they understand that, they will do everything they can to keep pubs like this, the centre of the community open and what do you fear would happen to your pub if this plan actually comes into force, >> it would affect us financially, but we would lose customers. >> we would lose customers. how do we police it? if somebody is outside smoking, you know, have we got to stand outside? have we got to keep going out? we would lose customers because, say,
10:54 am
frank , who's been a smoker all frank, who's been a smoker all his life, addicted to smoking, he's going to carry on smoking at home. he's not going to stop smoking. so it doesn't achieve what they think they're going to do. >> okay. simon delaney, thank you very much. good luck with it all. and maybe we'll speak again in the near future. >> louis makes the point, saying she thinks this is aimed at the white working class, heading out for a fag and a pint. >> potentially lots more to come in the next hour. showbiz and of course, the nostalgic snacks. we'll be back in just a tick. but here's your weather. >> looks like things are heating up boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news >> hello! here's your latest weather update from the met office for gb news. we're starting the weekend on a mostly fine note. some sunshine around, turning increasingly humid though as we go through the weekend and an increasing chance too, of some thundery downpours developing in places. high pressure starting to pull away towards the north—east of the uk . towards the north—east of the uk. that's allowing this warm front to approach from the south that's starting to increase the cloud across some southern parts

11:08 am
>> yeah, actually, i'm not here next week. week after. now let's talk about the top story of the day. because unless you've been living under a rock oasis are back together and they're going on tour. and this morning the tickets were released and it was described as a ticketmaster bloodbath. have you ever heard that before? >> no, but i can imagine an estimated 14 million people are trying to get the tickets, and noel and liam gallagher, of course, announced the reunion tour on tuesday and that followed 15 years of pretty entertaining at times. but also quite serious feuding between the brothers. >> yes , we heard earlier there >> yes, we heard earlier there are about a million tickets up for grabs. you've got a 1 in 14 chance. >> nice. if there's quite short odds. really. >> it's not looking good, is it? but oasis have also been warning fans against reselling the presale tickets that have gone out this week. some of those presale tickets now reselling on platforms up to £4,000. oasis have tweeted or text i guess it's what you call it now. posted on x saying we have noficed posted on x saying we have noticed that people are attempting to sell tickets on the secondary market since the start of the presale. please
11:09 am
note tickets can only be resold at face value via ticketmaster and tickets. tickets sold in breach of the terms and conditions will be cancelled by the promoters. >> joining us now to tell us more is consumer champion the complaining cow? that's her description, not mine . helen. description, not mine. helen. judy. morning, helen. this sounds like a bit of a yeah, i mean, bloodbath is the best way to put it. i mean, people are going to be lucky to get their hands on tickets, aren't they, for this reunion tour? >> absolutely. i think you've said it. they're 1 in 14 chance. so i think, you know , it's pure so i think, you know, it's pure chance as to whether you're going to get those tickets . but going to get those tickets. but please don't buy them at these inflated prices because you're not going to get in. >> helen. it does seem as though oasis are taking this very seriously. they've seen these presale tickets be picked up very, very quickly. go on to those resale sites. we were looking at tickets this morning for up to £10,000. now. i mean, something has to be done about this. it's blatant profiteering, isn't it ? isn't it? >> it is. and also, it's just the fact that i think bots have been buying up these tickets and so then they're able to resell
11:10 am
them on these sites. i think we need more sort of education for people to say, don't buy these , people to say, don't buy these, because at least oasis are saying that they're doing their best to try and stop this. and they were even saying this before the tickets went on sale as well, that you know, you cannot buy them like this. and also to be careful of the scams as well, because we will start seeing them being sold on social media and they'll try and sell them for the face value, but they won't actually exist. >> yeah, i've mentioned it a few times in the recent weeks. i got scammed for arsenal tickets the other week on twitter, or was the other month actually i lost about. was it 4 or £500? >> you're very upset about it. >> you're very upset about it. >> so yeah. still haven't got my money back. but what's the consumer's rights in that situation? barclays said to me that they'll look into it, but i've heard nothing since and it's been months i think, well the advice, the advice when you buy tickets, when they're over £100, always, always, always credit card. >> because then you've got section 75 of the consumer credit act that will cover you. so that makes the bank equally liable. so if there is something
11:11 am
that goes wrong that you don't get your get your purchase of any kind that you've paid for on the credit card, you will get the credit card, you will get the money back. if you have used a bank card, there is something that's called chargeback. now that's called chargeback. now that's a voluntary scheme. so the banks don't have to do it, but they might well give it back to you on the chargeback. and also, if you don't get any joy with your bank, then you can take the matter to the financial ombudsman . ombudsman. >> yeah, i did a schoolboy error. i did a straight bank transfer because i was so excited to get the tickets . excited to get the tickets. helen, can i can i ask why you're not happy with, you know, silly bent head in her hands? can i ask why you're you're called the complaining cow. i love the title , love the title, >> it's my brand about 12, 13, 14 years ago, i started a blog as a hobby and i just put on facebook. >> what should i call it ? you >> what should i call it? you know, i'm just going to start start with, stories about getting refunds and stuff. and a couple of people said , get the couple of people said, get the complaining cow. there were a couple of other things, put it out to a poll, and the complaining cow won and it all sort of grew from there into a business. oh i think it's great,
11:12 am
helen. >> really, really good. and we need all the help we can get because there are so many scams out there. there are so many people looking to profiteer, as we say. and what about people who have been so desperate and so excited by this oasis reunion that they did go on these resale websites this week? they did spend thousands of pounds on these tickets, and now we've got a tweet out from oasis saying, look, these could be cancelled by the promoters. do they have any rights because they've got those tickets? >> they weren't really. they can try again. they've paid by credit card. they can try the credit card. they can try the credit card. they can try the credit card company because they could argue that it's a scam and that because they can't use them and the people who were selling them knew they wouldn't be able to use them . and so that's to use them. and so that's really your only option because they these people rely on the vulnerability of people being, oh, yeah, you know, i can get it. i can get the ticket. and they rely on that. and so people do fall for these traps, and it's going to be very difficult to get any money back. >> okay, helen, you're complaining . cal, thank you so
11:13 am
complaining. cal, thank you so much. appreciate it. >> thank you helen. really, really good advice. you're a massive taylor swift fan. >> i just remembered my friend got scammed for taylor swift. >> there's lots of that going on. >> yeah, i think she transferred £600 to somebody who had resold genuine tickets before and just got bumped. yeah, yeah. >> and people are vulnerable. i mean, even with your arsenal tickets, it's excitable people who are just so excited and desperate to get their hands on these tickets that they're so excited for control. they'll pay anything and they'll move very quickly on it. so just be really careful. if you're looking for oasis tickets today, don't go onto those second hand second sale sites and platforms. do try and stick in the queue. i know lots of people are still in the queue today. and anecdotally on the taylor swift topic , i did the taylor swift topic, i did manage to get last minute tickets for taylor swift's last show. might have mentioned it. you went twice, didn't you? i did, i did. i'm a big swiftie, but a friend actually works in the music industry, so she managed to get some tickets. thank you phoebe, but we went on a second hand site just to see how much they would be going for if we wanted to go on second hand site and they were going for over £2,000. >> oh my gosh. >> oh my gosh. >> and at face value there are
11:14 am
about 150. that's crazy. i mean it's just profiteering. >> so keys key tips from helen there. don't do a bank transfer like me because you won't have any luck pay with a credit card if you can, and don't use these second hand sites. >> don't touch them because those tickets might get cancelled. thanks, helen. really helpful. >> thanks, helen. right now to look through the rest of the stories. today we're delighted to be joined by alex cairns and candice holdsworth. welcome back, you two. welcome back. shall we start with, in the times smartphones may harm young people . should they be banned? people. should they be banned? it seems like an age old debate now, isn't it? should they be banned? 1 in 5 children aged 3 or 4. that's unbelievable. hang on a minute. it's shocking. let me. let me read this . so i'm me. let me read this. so i'm clear. 1 in 5 children aged 3 or 4 have their own mobile. and by 11, nine out of ten do. >> no really. >> no really. >> but that's bizarre because anyone who has children of that age would know that they just lose it or break it. i mean, i've had two mobile phones that my children have picked up and just thrown in the air. wow. so why would you give them their own one? >> well, these are figures
11:15 am
according to ofcom, but it pretty much shows that most children now have access to a smartphone with access to the internet. how does that make you both feel? you're a mother. how does that make you feel, >> it depends on the age. i mean, you know, i think around 12 or 13, they start pressurising you because their friends have all got one. and i think also, i think that's the way children connect now because children have a lot less freedom . children have a lot less freedom. we know that. we know that parents are a lot more protective. these days. so they're not necessarily going out and hanging out with their friends in the same way we did. they they connect online. so i think with all the stuff around kirstie allsopp this week, letting her son have more freedom , i think one of the ways freedom, i think one of the ways to counteract them always being on the internet is to let them have those real world experiences, those real, real life experiences, because there's so much richer and they will prefer them to interacting through social media. >> the real world is so scary, though , isn't it? i mean, a lot though, isn't it? i mean, a lot of the uproar with kirstie allsopp is a 15 year old boy in today's world is not the same as a 15 year old boy in the 70s and
11:16 am
80s. i mean, there seems to be more danger out there in today's world. and then you've got the onune world. and then you've got the online world, which is incredibly dark. there's nowhere safe for children, it would seem. alex. >> yeah. no, i think i you know, this debate is going to go on for a long time, right? >> because it's very difficult to get to some conclusion because it's about personal choices, right? some parents, you know, my family, i didn't have a smartphone until i was much older. and actually, i think in a way that's probably a good thing. you know, i was always out and about. i joined a football team, you know, and i think it's down to personal choices. the worry with this, though, is actually sometimes children feel like they're missing out because if their friends have it, they don't want to be teased and bullied about, you know, not having it. you know, some people say, oh, you can't afford a smartphone. and actually it almost becomes an issue that they don't have one, you know? so you have to find that sweet spot. what i would say about this story is a lot of young children that are 5 or 6, they have it to play games. you know, parents need i'm not a parent, right. but you know, i see lots of parents that need a break. they just put their child in the corner and they have an ipad or a phone and they're
11:17 am
playing games on it, right? it can be controlled and be a good thing as opposed to being a negative where they think they're going to do things on, on the phone. they don't know what they're doing. they're normally just playing a game. right. >> what are you going to do with your children? because they're very young right now. but i can see you're stressed about this. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> he's stressed. >> he's stressed. >> the thing is, i've got a dilemma because i grew up playing video games on a pc, and i was from a quite young age, maybe nine, ten onwards. but in today's modern, i mean, i don't want my kids using the internet. i know what the internet is like now. it wasn't this fresh new venture when i first logged onto the internet, maybe mid 90s. now it's as you said, it can be pretty dark pretty quickly and i don't know. but alex makes a good point. you're going to get kids at school who bully your child for not having a phone. then maybe they'll be excluded from social groups and whatsapp groups. but the other point as well is when you used to get bullied at school, i don't know if you ever got bullied, but i mean, everyone in my school got bullied. you all got stick just part and parcel of school, but when you got bullied, it would be confined to the school and you'd go home and that would be your refuge. but these days i know from young family members, there's whatsapp groups where they get added to. they get
11:18 am
bullied, there's images doing the rounds. it's a completely different world from when i was a kid, and i'm sure many of our viewers as well. it is. >> it's so difficult for those of us, although we're sort of hybrid, right parents like millennials, we sort of grew up in a partly digital, partly analogue world. so we're kind of like, how do you navigate this? and i think that's one of the things that people always pick up on is that if you had problems at school, they didn't follow you home, whereas now they do . but i think the problem they do. but i think the problem is, is we're trying to apply what we learned as, as youngsters to, to how children live today. but maybe we need to allow them to learn to navigate that world, because that's going to be the future, and they have to be the future, and they have to figure that out for themselves. >> it's such a complicated language to even teach a child. there's online safety and what to look for and who you should be allowing to follow you and who you shouldn't be following, and what pages you should be accessing, which pages you shouldn't. i mean, it's complex. they do. >> the thing is, though , one >> the thing is, though, one thing i would say though, is that there's a lot of positive like my five year old has gotten very into following online drawing tutorials and he loves it and he's really good at it. and i thought, wow, they have that opportunity now. it's like
11:19 am
a personal art teacher on the computer. >> there are benefits, aren't there? >> yes, there are, there are. i think that's the age we live in, though. we sort of think about the threats more than we do about the positives. it's different. it's different. generations view things differently. maybe our children will be like, be free because they felt very suffocated. >> i think the media always talk about the negatives of social media about having a phone. let's remember, right, a lot of young people, they use it for positive things as well. you know, lots of them that want to start a business. they look at lots of, you know, young entrepreneurs that without having a phone, without having social media, how would they do that? right? you know, lots of football teams, they raise money for their football team to get a new goal to go on this trip. you know, there's lots of positives. and i think the media responsibility to talk about the good and bad parts of having it, not just double down, always about the negatives, you know , about the negatives, you know, because that's not helpful. and actually there's lots of positives about having smartphones. >> so many of you getting in touch on this one. taoiseach says. my daughter was 13 before she got her first mobile phone, and she doesn't have any use of social media on that phone, but
11:20 am
a friend of ours has just let their six year old have one. we're living in crazy times . we're living in crazy times. >> i mean, what's a six year old going to be doing on a smartphone? playing games? yeah, playing games. and like if the parent is giving a six year old and then they're going on google and then they're going on google and typing in stuff, all right. that actually shouldn't happen. but realistically i mean, what they're going to know at six, they're going to know at six, they're probably going to be searching for their game. i promise you, vast majority of people that have a child on a smartphone or an ipad at that age , they are just trying to age, they are just trying to occupy them and they are on games, you know, life seemed a lot more fun as a kid when you didn't know where your friends were. if you wanted to find your friends, you'd call the landline. the mum would say, no, they're not in. so you'd say, oh, where are they? go down the path. you go down the park. oh no, they're not there. go down the beach. are they there? no. are they outside mcdonald's? no. and you spend half the day trying to find them and then you find them and. >> yeah, look for all the bikes. that's how it was when i was a teenagen that's how it was when i was a teenager. it was like. and they'd all be piled in front of someone's driveway and like, that's where everyone is. yeah. >> oh, happier times. do you keep those views coming in? >> got loads of you talking on that one. gbnews.com/yoursay
11:21 am
candice, let's have a look at the daily telegraph, shall we? because this is if you ever go to west london. it's not actually very far from where we're sat right now. you will see grenfell. yes. won't you. yeah. it's, it is so ominous to look at is still there, still wrapped in, in that green heart which is around to protect it. it's costing the taxpayer a fortune, isn't it, to keep grenfell standing. yes, yes . grenfell standing. yes, yes. >> yeah. millions to actually keep it standing. i mean there's still a lot of conflict about how we should memorialise this very tragic event. i mean, there's still no answers forthcoming as to what actually happened. i mean, the daily telegraph is also ran a couple of stories about how everyone is trying to apportion blame. i mean, the inquiry's been going for on years and years and years. i'm not sure that we should have this burnt out building as a as a memorial. personally, i think maybe we should look at something like with the king's cross memorial, which i think is a very beautiful tribute to those victims who died in the fire. you know, like strings of light, something like that memorial garden, something a more peaceful way of remembering them, rather than that burnt out building. because when i've dnven building. because when i've driven past, it's haunting.
11:22 am
>> do you think on on the sites, though, you know how the twin towers, you had ground zero and you think on the actual site or away from the site? >> no, on the site, i think, yeah, yeah, i do £340 million. >> it has cost to the taxpayer. this is in the official report into the disaster. and this has been since june 2017. what do you make of it, alex. >> yeah, i think it's a difficult one because obviously, you know, the families are actually the people here that have wanted that building to remain. you know, they have a real, you know, symbolic kind of affiliation with it and obviously feel that the inquiry is still ongoing and until it's come to its conclusion, they don't want anything to be done to the building. having said that , i to the building. having said that, i do appreciate what you're saying, because when i go past it, you know, a lot of people do feel quite sad about what happened. and i actually think that it's a very especially at night, you know , especially at night, you know, the way that it's lit up, it's very, you know, upsetting to see. and i don't think it's helpful for people that live around the community to constantly be reminded about what happened, so i think it's a difficult one. but the wider point here about cladding, it's
11:23 am
an absolutely scandalous situation. i mean, even i think it was last week or the week before, there was another fire in east london. i think there was a fire near here as well that happened recently. you know, they need to sort out buildings that have cladding asap because it can't have any more innocent lives that are taken because we have greedy property developers that have not decided to sort it out. you know, it's a scandalous situation and it can't be allowed to happen anymore. >> and i've spoken to survivors of grenfell who say exactly that. they say they don't want the building to be to be brought down yet, because it serves as a reminder that the cladding scandal is still very much going on. there are people living in dangerous buildings that are not fit, fit for habitation. yeah, so let us know what you think about that one. gbnews.com/yoursay. and let's have a look at this one, shall we? alex, this is william and harry, the princes didn't share a word at their uncle's funeral. this in the daily mail. >> yeah. so the whole situation between william and harry is very , very difficult because
11:24 am
very, very difficult because william, you know, will become king one day, you know, he's someone that obviously takes his responsibility really, really seriously. he obviously is quite upset about the choices that harry has made around talking about the negative side of the royal family. you know, he probably doesn't agree with how pubuc probably doesn't agree with how public harry's been criticising his own family. the thing that really upsets me, having my own brother is i couldn't think of any situation where i would want to fall out with my brother, you know, after diana passed away, you know, lots of people said that the bond between those two brothers was what actually got them through a very difficult time. and i feel very upset that constantly. and i think the media have got a part to play here. the media have decided for their own gain to spoil this whole thing out, like it's a reality tv show. and the crown hasn't helped either. basically trying to put them, you know, together, you know, put them against each other. sorry. and i think it's very upsetting . these think it's very upsetting. these two are brothers and i think most of the public want them to come back together. >> i think it makes people very, very sad, especially when you think about their late mother
11:25 am
and how she would feel seeing her sons. i feel upset about it. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> alex, candace has been really good to see you today. thank you so much forjoining. thank you both. >> thanks, guys. all right. coming up did you know that making new friends can help boost your energy? well, our next
11:26 am
11:27 am
11:28 am
welcome back. 1128 ben and ellie with you on saturday morning live . now, having good friends live. now, having good friends can bring positive energy. and that's to according research that's to according research that's found more than half of people aged 50 and over feel happier from having a friendship, and 46% feel a sense of belonging to. tomorrow is the start of friendship month. the oddfellows, a non—profit, friendly society that provides older adults with opportunities to create new friendships, is now inviting more people. this september to join their local groups and expand their friendship circles through giving a taste of activity at local community centres. we're joined now by jane nelson, who's the ceo of oddfellows. good morning jane. thanks for joining
11:29 am
us. such an important topic. it sounds maybe trivial on the surface , but actually loneliness surface, but actually loneliness is a pretty serious problem in the older generations. and as someone in my mid 30s, i've even noficed someone in my mid 30s, i've even noticed as well that my own friendship group has diminished over the years as kind of, you know , people get married and know, people get married and have kids and they kind of drift apart and don't make time for each other . each other. >> absolutely. and i think loneliness is key for so many people. and that's what we try at oddfellows to combat by offering such a wide range of social events across the country for people to dip in and out of, because friendship is really important to us as individuals and important for our mental health as well. so being happy and having a good time with friends and people we like is really, really important for everyone. >> and ben just alluded to it there. people, especially when they get into their 30s and 40s, they're focusing on their own families , aren't they? they're families, aren't they? they're focusing on their children, their other halves . how their other halves. how important is it to have friends separate to your family? what benefit does that bring you ?
11:30 am
benefit does that bring you? >> i think it brings you that wider spectrum, doesn't it? but you're right. i mean, people in the 30s are bringing up the children. they're doing basketball, swimming and everything else. and families are really, really important. but to keep in contact with your friends , because as you do get friends, because as you do get older, you do lose friends for a variety of reasons. either you lose touch or they have an illness, or they pass away. as you get older and actually widening out that circle so that you can increase that number of friendships is really important, because the stats show that people love spending time with their friends. >> yeah, my wife says all the time she encourages me to text my friends and make dates and organise things and, you know, be the one who's proactive. is that a good tip to kind of get things going, especially if your friends maybe aren't that way inclined? that proactive ? inclined? that proactive? >> yeah, i think i think it always takes somebody doesn't it? somebody's got to make that first step to send a text to say, do you fancy meeting up for coffee, or do you fancy going to
11:31 am
the pub or whatever, whatever the pub or whatever, whatever the arrangement is going to be? but sometimes somebody always has to be that make that first step and text or phone and i think the other key thing is it usually tends to be the same person, but that doesn't matter as long as that connectivity is made because that's what you need. you need the connectivity. >> so jane , what's your advice >> so jane, what's your advice then for people who are watching and listening? perhaps they're over 50. they want to make new friends. what would your advice to be them ? to be them? >> be brave. we're not. if you think about when we were children, we'd go around the playground and say, will you be my friend? well, we don't tend to do that as we get older, but be brave and look on oddfellow's website. see all the amazing events we've got on. go to a see what's going on in your area. go along. if you're nervous about going into a room full of people you don't know, make contact with the person who's organising the event in advance. they'll meet you outside and just, you know, there's so many opportunities and so many different events for people to go along, have a good time and hopefully make some friends in the process.
11:32 am
>> and where can people find out more about oddfellows? jane >> so oddfellows .co.uk or you can telephone 080028 1810 and our team will be more than happy to point them in the right direction of their local events. and there's so much going on and you've got meets in sort of village halls, community centres where people could go , yeah, where people could go, yeah, they are all over the place. yes. so there'll be an event for them. jane, there's over 300 going on, lots of events. >> wow . great stuff jane. thank >> wow. great stuff jane. thank you very much. really appreciate it. >> yeah. really important to talk about i think a really important topic that we don't touch on enough is loneliness as you get older. get in touch if that's something you can relate to. gbnews.com/yoursay. let's get the news headlines now with sam francis . sam francis. >> very good morning to you. just after 11:30, a look at the top stories from the newsroom this hour. and a 77 year old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a woman was found dead in gloucestershire. officers were called to a house

>> hello! welcome back to saturday morning live with ben and ellie, and we're also joined by showbiz extraordinaire stephanie takyi with the latest good morning. >> what's going on? it's been all oasis fever this week. you cannot hide from it. you can't run away from it. if you don't like oasis, then i feel sorry for you because our viewers are a bit torn. yeah. >> about it. >> about it. >> i think it's exciting in a
11:39 am
sense that the media have been speaking about this reunion for so many years now, and i thought it's actually not going to happen. so when they announced it this week, i was like, okay, it's good. people are saying it's good. people are saying it's more of a money thing for the brothers because, look, their tour is set to make about £430 million. so that is a lot of money. so i think money is the inspiration here. but i think for a lot of fans, it's bringing back nostalgia. you know, they've got so many classic hits, even if you know 1 or 2 oasis hits, it's enough to get you excited about these reunion tours. so it did come out this morning. these tickets. there's about 1.4 million tickets available and this morning on ticketmaster, they had up to 14 million people queuing for tickets. so you can imagine. yeah. can you imagine ? imagine. yeah. can you imagine? not many people are happy at the moment, but i can imagine that they will be putting more tour dates because they're set to do london, manchester, dublin and edinburgh. so i think because there's been such a big demand for it, there will be more dates to come. >> will the brothers make it
11:40 am
through the tour? do you think, steph? because that's what worries me, is just spending all this money on tickets and the truce might not hold . truce might not hold. >> well, you know what they say, ellie? money talks. so i think if they know the money that's involved with this tour , i think involved with this tour, i think they're going to have to bury they're going to have to bury the hatchet, which is why they've come together in the first place. and i think once they do get back on stage and they do get back on stage and they see that reception, i think they see that reception, i think the music is going to sell them, sell for itself. i don't think they need to be the best of friends, but i know that they will want to please fans. >> and i think noel needs £20 million for his divorce. >> he does divorces are quite pricey, so hey, if you need to get on stage with your brother you don't like, make it happen for us. why are you getting married? don't say that. no, it's a good thing things don't work out sometimes. yeah okay. >> what else? what's going with love island? >> well, at the moment, a damaging report came out that basically there's been this dramatic increase of young girls going for cosmetic surgery, and it's mostly because of what they're seeing on love island from the contestants. so they're now calling it the love island.
11:41 am
look. and a lot of salons now are putting a lot of like surgeries, botox , fillers. it's surgeries, botox, fillers. it's all coming in due to love island. and there's this thing where people are saying, how can one show really influence young girls like that? but that is the power of love island, and i think they call it the love island. look, because you've got girls with the full lips, the cheeks and all the rest, and it's like a lot of surgeons are actually saying, even if you do go for these kind of treatments, as they call them, it actually makes you look older because the demographic for love island is between 18 and 24. and i think at that age, you're still blossoming into your look. so it's kind of quite sad . but then it's kind of quite sad. but then we talk about social media and the influence it has on young girls. it's quite powerful and there's so many teenage girls watching love island as well. >> i mean like 12,13 year olds >> i mean like 12, 13 year olds looking at these 24 year olds thinking, oh , i want i want to thinking, oh, i want i want to look like that, and their friends want to look like that. >> and as well, i think what people don't talk about is the pressure these contestants have when they're on these shows, like they have to have the right body bikini base figures like really slim, and they have to look like almost flawless and
11:42 am
airbrushed. so these contestants, once they're going on the show, they feel like they have to have the love island look, but it's quite sad. yeah. >> and i've seen lots of men getting like chest implants and implants. yeah. >> men are men are . no. yeah. >> men are men are. no. yeah. >> men are men are. no. yeah. >> go to the gym, you lazy son. anyway, what's going on? beetlejuice. >> beetlejuice . it's been >> beetlejuice. it's been probably the most talked about film this week. it's making a comeback for the sequel. it came out in 1988, so a lot of our viewers might know the original starring michael keaton. he reprises his role. they launched it in the venice film festival earlier this week. they had the london film premiere as well this week. so it's one of those films where i think it will be a good one for autumn, for people to see, and i think it's been directed by tim burton , who says directed by tim burton, who says that he's basically carrying the story on. but he says there's a lot of surprises in store. >> so is it a kids film ? >> so is it a kids film? >> so is it a kids film? >> i would say it's kids. it's kids friendly. i would say it's probably from 12 upwards because it's about exorcism. so there is it's about exorcism. so there is it could be quite scary in some bits. yeah. >> i watched a film on a plane
11:43 am
the other day. we're running out of time called the pope's exorcist. oh, it's a real thing. the pope has an exorcist, and it was a very scary film, but it reminded me. >> is it? yeah. >> is it? yeah. >> oh, yeah. absolutely yeah. >> oh, yeah. absolutely yeah. >> yeah, i'm a bit. i don't like horrors. >> bad, bad energy. >> bad, bad energy. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> bad vibes, mushrooms, bad vibes , you know, all good vibes vibes, you know, all good vibes and showbiz. >> thank you. and you too. monochrome sister. >> we've gone for the same vibe. >> we've gone for the same vibe. >> thank you guys. thank you very much. >> thank you . >> thank you. >> thank you. >> right. coming up, we are going to be our favourite story of the day. >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> and there's gonna be loads of food, nostalgic foods, sweets, cakes and. et cetera. et cetera with hannah. hayley young from. what's the sexy, crazy sexy food podcast ? podcast. sorry, hannah. podcast? podcast. sorry, hannah. hannah young is here with all her treats. next don't go away
