we spent a long time with the cabinet office, a cabinet office meeting withjohn glenn, the former paymaster back in the early summer. and we pushed we pushed him and said, "look, we've got to look at this case as something specific, you know, i mean, sir brian dedicated a whole volume to it. we spent a week on it at the inquiry, and we don't know where this arbitrary £15,000 figure comes from. and so in the end, what do you know what your compensation package is? because presumably you will get other compensation from... that everyone else will get. and then this on top is that is that how you understand it will work? absolutely. we very, very much welcome the fact that the government has agreed to all but five of the, um, 7a recommendations. that's fantastic news. and the fact that ongoing payments are going to continue, and there's going to be provision for legal aid. it's just this one point which the surviving children and their families can't, just cannot understand. where did this arbitrary £15,000 figure come from for what in some cases was ten years of experimentation on children. a

we spent a time with the cabinet office, in a cabinet office meeting with the paymaster general back." sir brian dedicated a whole volume to it, spent a week on it at the inquiry, and we don't know where this £15,000 figure has come from. in the end, do you know what your compensation packages? presumably, you will get other compensation that other people will get and this on top, is that how you understand it will work? we top, is that how you understand it will work? ~ , . _, will work? we very much welcome the fact that the — will work? we very much welcome the fact that the government _ will work? we very much welcome the fact that the government has - will work? we very much welcome the fact that the government has agreed l fact that the government has agreed to all but five of the 74 recommendations, that is fantastic news. and the fact that ongoing payments will continue and there will be provision for a legal aid. it isjust this will be provision for a legal aid. it is just this one point which the surviving children and families just cannot understand, where did this arbitra

the meeting will be taking place in the cabinet office briefing room a, where cobra gets its name.ants and the police and intelligence officers. they are going to get an update on the violence that has happened over the weekend and look at what their response can be in the coming days. sources suggesting to our political team that this is in the context of the other meetings that have already taken place, including the one the prime minister had with police chiefs last thursday and on saturday. as i've mentioned, the home secretary yvette cooper will be part of that emergency meeting which is due to get under way in the next hour. earlier, my colleague sarah campbell spoke to ms cooper to get her reaction to the violence. they were disgraceful scenes of criminal violence and thuggery in some of our towns and cities. there is no excuse for that kind of behaviour, throwing bricks at police officers, the targeting of mosques, the looting of shops. it was total disgraceful criminal behaviour, and we should be clear, there will be a reckoning. those criminals will pay the price. there h

it is a process that can be held and run by the cabinet office with expected input for the department business interest and trade. just to remind you that the government does have the power to effectively block the deal if it doesn't meet those requirements. government officials have said that any links to russia will be carefully examined and just to give you a little bit of context, daniel kretinsky�*s companies actually own a gas transmission business called eu stream and that does carry russian gas into europe, but with the knowledge and permission of the eu. so more on that royal mail takeover bid as and when we get it. high cholesterol and poor eyesight have been named as factors which can increase the chance of the disease. nearly half of all dementia cases could be delayed or prevented. dementia has hit andy's family hard. his dad lived with the disease for years before it claimed his life. andy also knows that high cholesterol levels run in his family, and that's now been identified as a risk factor for dementia. so he's taking steps to reduce that risk. we can't worry about

police forces across the uk are on stand by this weekend, with cabinet office minister nick thomas—symondsurther disorder. protesters are out in their hundreds in manchester already rallying against racism. no reports of any disorder thus far. around 741 people have now been arrested over rioting, according to the national police chiefs council, of which over 300 have been charged. merseyside police says two more people have been charged today following violent disorder in southport and liverpool, bringing the total number of people charged there to 24. a section 60 order is now in place for 12 hours in the liverpool city centre . the liverpool city centre. the family of six year old bebe king, who died after being stabbed in southport, said she was full of joy , light and love. was full of joy, light and love. they say she'll remain in our hearts as the sweet, kind and spirited girl we adore. that statement, released by merseyside police just moments ago and of course, she tragically died alongside seven year old elsie dot stancombe and alice da silva akua, who was nine. a senior police s

but the day after nick thomas—symonds, the cabinet office minister, said he didn't want to encouragere concerned about demonstrations from both sides on this issue. >> okay, charlie peters there for us outside new scotland yard. thank you very much indeed. >> thank you charlie. stay safe as well. jenni trent hughes is here. and trey will be here in a second. former apprentice star trailer. he's just popped out. i'll let you him explain where he is, but yeah. jenny, welcome back in the times today page for page three, the edinburgh fringe shoots itself in foot with trigger warning spree. so apparently lots of performances have trigger warnings before in case the audience gets offended. what do you make of that ? what do you make of that? >> what a nonsense. i mean, but seriously, what a nonsense. first of all, if you're at the edinburgh fringe, one of the reasons you are at the edinburgh fringe, it's not like you're at the proms, you know you're looking for edgy stuff, you're looking for edgy stuff, you're looking for edgy stuff, you're looking for new stuff, you're looking for new st

a few moments ago i spoke to the cabinet office minister, sir nick.omas—symonds nick thomas—symonds. when will the rioting stop? >> well, there should be a very strong message today going out to people that anybody thinking of engaging in this violent disorder, this thuggery, shouldn't do it because we've seen three prison sentences handed down today. men who eight days ago were engaged in violent disorder. in one case, an attack on emergency service worker who've been sentenced to 20 months, two and a half years and three years. and the message today, anyone thinking of doing this, you will feel the full force of the law and as we've seen, you will feel it swiftly as well. who's to blame? >> is it the far right as the government keeps saying the people to blame? >> and there should be no moral ambiguity about this? are the people who are engaging in this disorder themselves. the prime minister has said if you turn up to something carrying weapons, you are not going there for legitimate protest. you're going there for the purpose of perpetrating viole

office, and out of the cabinet office, and i never lost my temper.d, it's unprofessional of rowley to have done so and made worse by dishonest statement by the police's press office, though i'm glad he has subsequently apologised. obviously the commission is busy, but civilian policing is about self control. if senior officers give way to their emotional urges and allow the red mist to descend , how can a red mist to descend, how can a constable be expected to retain his sangfroid when dealing with a yob? rowley as with other pubuc a yob? rowley as with other public figures, must be held to account and explain why there is not two tier policing. why, for instance, did the police stand by when colston's statue was pulled down in bristol, an event that was followed two days later by sir keir taking the knee, giving the strong impression that he was in favour of that type of disorder. why were the sarah everard protests aggressively policed when the black lives matter ones were handled with kid gloves ? why is handled with kid gloves? why is shouting at

so a big group of people there met in this cabinet office briefing room. all sorts of areas. they were told there will be, a standing army of police to surge around the country to weather when they can see some trouble breaking out in towns and cities around the country. police can go there. the army will not be called in. it's not an army matter. despite the fact that a senior general was seen in number 10 around the time of the meeting. sir keir starmer wants to name offenders charged as soon as possible so they can be outed and named and shamed as the government would would see it , they, they, they we asked in it, they, they, they we asked in the lobby meeting, do you recognise there is concern about immigration around the country andifs immigration around the country and it's not far right to do that, the pm's spokesman said he was clear he didn't want to legitimise the violence by going there . but i think they do there. but i think they do recognise that, that in fact, the spokesman did say to us in terms that there are issues with migration and imm

well we think the meeting is taking place now in the cobra meeting, the cabinet office briefing room, chairing a meeting of police chiefs. number 10 itself won't confirm the meeting is happening yet. we'll hear more in the lobby briefing at 1130 today. but no question, he'll be making clear that the full force of the law will be will be issued, will be used against these rioters over the weekend. and the 400 or so arrests will be treated swiftly of course, there's wider issues here about why people are rioting. you've been saying that before on the show already , before on the show already, andrew and bev. i think that's probably for longer term to try and look at why communities feel so disaffected. they feel they can riot and try and smash up shops and fight with the police. but right now it's about restoring order on our streets. and that's why we've got this meeting between sir keir starmer and police chiefs. at the cobra meeting. >> okay. thank you very much , >> okay. thank you very much, christopher. keep us posted on events in downing street. let's also go now to gb news repo

where behind me in the building behind me in cabinet office.s cobra group of senior ministers. >> he met there with angela rayner , shabana mahmood, peter rayner, shabana mahmood, peter kyle, lord herner, who's the attorney general, darren jones, the treasury and yvette cooper, the treasury and yvette cooper, the home secretary, along with police and other senior figures. he's made very clear that there is no justification at all for this violence. he was asked saying that that that clip you saw there about double standards in policing. he says that does not exist. he doesn't want to say anything, which would add any form of legitimacy to the violence. and he was asked in the briefing earlier about, was there any double standard between policing, maybe in parts of leeds took a few weeks ago and in, in, in other areas over the weekend? he says no, there's nothing at all to do with that. so he's been very clear on that, but we heard that we heard there that from the pm's spokesman. there's no likelihood at currently of recalling parliament that d

he's the cabinet office minister.saying they don't think that this generosity with pay deals going back to junior doctors, 22%, 5.5% for public sector workers, that is not fuelling it. but many think it is. and age uk now that's a whole different story there because pensioners have lost their winter fuel payments. they're saying they've had lots of people emailing in about the impact of that. some are commenting. age uk says that they feel they are being treated as a lower priority and that's not fair. what they mean there is pensions to go cold this winter , while pochettino workers winter, while pochettino workers get big pay rises from the government. >> and chris hope, just when you thought it was safe to plan christmas again, mick the grinch lynch is rattling his sabre. he's saying we're expecting a parallel synchronise offer to that of aslef same deal, or they'll be down tools once again. and chris, isn't that the point ? wouldn't again. and chris, isn't that the point? wouldn't you again. and chris, isn't that

. >> all this key people around him in that cabinet office briefing room tonight, we know there are asential gatherings today, thursday , three thursday, three counter—protests. there's not as many as were planned for last night. that didn't happen in the end. >> we've heard from sir keir starmer saying he wants to reflect on last night and he called last night better than expected because there had been 160 planned last night. >> only 36 took place and the national police chiefs council is very pleased. >> the question is what comes next? >> i mean, i would look at this and go, well, we're nowhere near the numbers in 2011, 3000 arrests, then 2000 facing criminal charges. so with only 500 arrests, this is only barely a sixth of as bad as it was in 2011. judged on arrests, he was asked earlier today, sir keir starmer , will he now if this is starmer, will he now if this is past the worst and we hope so will. will this mean that you will. will this mean that you will go to the causes of what's going on here? we know about the concerns about immigration from our mailbox @gbnews. and is th

that's in the meeting in cabinet office briefing room a it's called cobra. keir starmer chaired the meeting . he said he chaired the meeting. he said he wanted a police on a high alert this weekend because they are not out of the woods yet. they know that. and social media, as we heard earlier, is not a law free zone. you can say things on twitter x facebook and go to prison, as we're seeing today in leeds. also, a slight controversy is going to be the government's plans. i say slight, a big control of releasing prisoners early to ease overcrowding. you serve 40% of your of your jail term, not 50%, and you're released. that could include rioters because so far the most any rioters have got got has been three years, three, 30 months. and 12, 20 months for three years. so anyone with a term of less than four years can be released early under the government's own plan, starting next month. so this will be a long tail of debate about the riots. >> yeah, there's a lot to there's a lot to be a lot of questions to be answered there. i think craig had a very good po

office, the science department, treasury, the cabinet office, the science department , former the sciencertment, former labour party campaigners and donors getting positions, senior positions in the civil service, i want you to take a listen to how keir starmer, the prime minister, answered that question. >> look, andy, most of these allegations and accusations are coming from the very people that dragged our country down in the first place. so you'll forgive me if i take that approach to it. we are going to fix the foundations. we've got to do it at speed, and i'm determined to have the right people in the right places to allow us to get on with that job. i'm enormously aware of how big a task this is and how we have to move at pace, and how we have to move at pace, and that's why we're getting the best people into the best jobs. but i'm not really going to take lectures on this from the people who dragged our country so far down in the last few years. thank you . thank you. >> do you think it's good enough to just say that? oh, it's just the tories saying this. it's a question asked by

, cabinet ministers, you know, all this, or to have all these advisors of the president's office in their positions, who do not work anywhere, do not report to anyone, but teach everyone how to live, teach everyone, all go immediately to the army, say these dozens of advisors who they hide without an army, without any reason, go for a ride, rest in the south.' seas, this is how it works, unfortunately, it is the absence of the rule of law, and if the rule of law is absent on the mountain, then obviously it will be absent in every official who works in this or that ministry, in this or that fund, for people's money means nothing to him, he lives like it's the last day, because the government lives like the last day, because the government doesn't care about the law, and to care about the law doesn't mean that there, relatively speaking, zelensky himself or yermak himself carry suitcases there earned money, maybe they wear it, maybe they don't, i don't... i don't know this and i don't have such data, but the fact that the government is built on monopoly, on the violation of the principle of

in his office?m used to it, in my opinion, that's our only option, do you think he's with isid, i think that he's in a complete ambush, and i'm not sure i can get him out this time. hey, get up, let's go. where, you'll find out now, come on, come on, get up, come on, quicker, quicker, what, what are you and your brother up to, wanting to throw me, yeah, what the hell are you talking about, yeah, yeah, you've gone crazy, guys, call rita, here, this is your compensation, thank you, well done, you're a cool guy, save me, lord, thank you, and if they cut off my nose, i'd be swimming in chocolate, well done nikita, rest. and hello, hello, what is this, peroxide, yeah, that hurts, well, let's go quietly, it won't work anyway, izit, first of all, we don't know how many of them there are, and i think at least five people, they're all armed anyway, especially izit, you know asians, they're completely crazy, their own life or someone else's is the same to them, so we need to insist that the meeting be in a de
