6:03 am
sees labour with 45% of the national vote, while the conservative party is down again to just% and this represents a three point fall for the tories increasing the gap between the two main parties to 26 points. meanwhile, the liberal democrats are on 8, the greens are on 9. and coming up on the insider reform on 8% well, let's look at those results . more detail with those results. more detail with charlie rowley, a former special adviser to michael gove . so, adviser to michael gove. so, charlie, turning you this is the grim set of figures for the conservatives, isn't it.7 it's not good reading . and the not good reading. and the government and the conservative party will be disappointed with these polls . there's no doubt these polls. there's no doubt about it. i'm but it presents itself as a challenge to the government going into the new yeah government going into the new year. it needs to be able to demonstrate to the public why these , particularly for these these, particularly for these conservative supporters, that 2% you think that the government will be able to turn things around. i'm in 2. i come to the
6:04 am
things can get better, but the government is demonstrate what it's going to do to ensure that it's going to do to ensure that it continues to get support of more people than it needs to the next general election. i mean, the party don't look so the labour party don't look so good i mean, good in this either. i mean, people uncomfortable with people are uncomfortable with them either. i think that's absolutely. think 2023 absolutely. but i think so 2023 will a very, very big will be a very, very big for both main parties because if the labour party is , as you rightly labour party is, as you rightly say, don't come forward with plans, to deal plans, they're going to deal with that find with the economic that we find ourselves they're ourselves in and how they're going to things like the going to tackle things like the migration and all the migration crisis and all the other issues that many, many people about in this people feel about in this country. there'll be a country. then there'll be a problem government problem there. the government itself step and itself needs to step up and respond these issues as well. respond to these issues as well. otherwise people will be moving to parties, you say, to other parties, as you say, reform looking elsewhere to reform or looking elsewhere to cast next cast their vote at next election. picking that election. picking up on that resolution report, front page of days today's daily it's days today's daily mail, it's all about the average dads of a household. no w £16,200. that's household. now £16,200. that's thousand pounds up year on year . 60% of people think 20, 23 will be worse than this year. and then rishi prime himself on
6:05 am
one thing, isn't he.7 and and then rishi prime himself on one thing, isn't he? and that is manager the economy balance in the books can anybody balancing books or is the economy quite simply just tanking ? well, i simply just tanking? well, i think there'll be another budget in march time. i think it was announced a couple of weeks ago. so we'll have to wait for the chancellor announce what other set of packages that could come forward. into the rest of forward. going into the rest of 2023. but i think what the government needs to do is to not tell people what it's been doing, but to show and tell what it's been doing. rishi sunak oversees chancellor, oversees former chancellor, stepped in the economy to stepped to in the economy to support people's lives and livelihoods covid livelihoods through the covid pandemic prime minister. he's pandemic as prime minister. he's obviously biggest obviously announced biggest energy support package for people . huge energy over people. huge energy bills over this winter. and in in a economic time where, you know money is very, very tight. we've been able to protect the governments been able to protect people the lowest incomes people on benefits at the lower end of the wage spectrum also pensioners on benefit well so pensioners on on benefit well so it is about protecting the most vulnerable in society managing
6:06 am
the books accordingly and hoping bnng the books accordingly and hoping bring inflation down which is the number one economic goal of the number one economic goal of the next year and i'm very hopeful that the energy and yes i guess it's clearing up the mess that created rishi sunak. i mean, where the hell is he? you didn't see him around. didn't even see him around. look, you said look, you've you said that you're part this 2% that believe that they can turn around. that they can turn it around. what you that they can what do you think that they can do actually turn around, do to actually turn it around, because i don't see any of them able to do this at well, i think it's that confidence as it's that economic confidence as you earlier on. and it's that economic confidence as ythink earlier on. and it's that economic confidence as ythink it's earlier on. and it's that economic confidence as ythink it's aboutearlier on. and it's that economic confidence as ythink it's about making]. and it's that economic confidence as ythink it's about making sured i think it's about making sure that can get inflation that if you can get inflation down, that is the number one issue affects the cost of issue that affects the cost of living everybody. you're living for everybody. so you're seeing down. i seeing inflation come down. i think government has think the government has a target halve it certainly by target to halve it certainly by sort gets halfway sort of gets them halfway through this year. and so i think they can achieve that think if they can achieve that and start to the cost of and we can start to the cost of living ease. rishi living pressures ease. rishi sunak i think has sunak you're right. i think has been 10. think he's been in number 10. i think he's been in number 10. i think he's been getting down to the detail of a lot policy issues. he of a lot of policy issues. he announced a well, he announced a the up plan that came the round up plan that came forward support of forward which won the support of the court ruling last week.
6:07 am
the high court ruling last week. i'm sure 2023 will see a lot more of him announcing number more of him announcing a number of issues that of measures and issues that impact the most. one impact on people the most. one area where could show some area where rishi could show some mettle you like and win some mettle if you like and win some pubuc mettle if you like and win some public confidence is in dealing with the papers with these it's in the papers today that strike seems to be running out of steam because union members are losing a huge amount of pay because every time they of course they're they strike of course they're not getting paid the kind of help funds running out . a help funds are running out. a lot of people that contacts that gb news want rishi to channel his inner and get tough with . his inner and get tough with. these guys like negative with scargill that surely is a public win for rishi to get tough with the well that's why your view is the well that's why your view is the best in the business because they've absolutely right yes and if government going to if the government is going to win support that win back support of people, that may slightly disaffected or may be slightly disaffected or don't as don't have the confidence as this it going this poll reflects, it is going to to be one way rishi does to have to be one way rishi does show that leadership and i believe that he will because you can't that is can't have a country that is going be run to ruin by a going to be run to ruin by a union barons who funding the
6:08 am
labour party who have been totally when they are you know the rail in particular brought in a total to millions of people this christmas. you wanted to go home and spend time with that family. they weren't afforded that opportunity because pay that opportunity because of pay conditions that the rmt are the chorley and. then i wonder if she's got it in him because he sees that thatcher is his hero. but we haven't seen we haven't seen that kind of maggie spirit yet. have we do you think that can come and i know you're glass half full kind of guy because you all need two percenters the belief always there's belief that's always there's always when's going to always that but when's going to come i it's a 100% on 100% faith barrow on the rishi sunak because if you are i mean if as you said the seem to represent a good large spectrum in society a. lot of them want boris back a lot of the think that perhaps the conservative party would be better getting him back in in the leadership role just to try to secure more votes. what do
6:09 am
you think? well, i happen a huge affection for the membership of which i'm a member of and a part of and i didn't get to vote for rishi of course, they didn't get to vote for rishi, but they get to vote for rishi, but they get to vote for liz. and i don't think that ended quite as well as everybody thought it would. so i think they sort of ganged up hen so i think they sort of ganged up her, she didn't really up on her, she didn't really have much of a chance there. well, i think i think what people will through she's people will see through she's leadership strikes leadership is tackling strikes and very and being very hardline and very firm that it is firm with the fact that it is the uk government that is protecting everybody as we protecting everybody and as we say cost of living and say with the cost of living and with the living measures with the cost of living measures and economy the and with the economy in the state that is, you can't state to that is, you can't curtail two unions that are asking for perhaps above inflation pay that inflation increases in pay that just simply aren't affordable at this charlie well, this time. okay, charlie well, people are saying there will be difficult, challenging difficult, tough and challenging and i that applies also to and i think that applies also to soon. but thanks for your input this pick this morning. we'll pick up again next hour on this. again on the next hour on this. thank you, john. thank you. well, listen, it's fast well, listen, it's just fast approaching 10 minutes after 6:00. news tv, 6:00. this is gb news on tv, onune 6:00. this is gb news on tv, online and on digital radio. let's bring you to date with

6:14 am
which were by flooding like in yorkshire and gloucester fast forward to spring weather began to change, many people making the most of it then came the peak of summer which saw new record highs in wales and scotland and temperatures reaching 40 degrees celsius in england , prompting warnings from england, prompting warnings from leaders in london were particularly concerned because of the urban heat in effect being in a global city, but also because we know many will struggle in this summer keeping their kids cool so things like they will not be able to fill up their paddling pool. they will not be able to have regular showers during course that i'd call done with this call themselves done with this north of 30 degrees because of the consequences of climate change. londoners have change. i think londoners have shown can be responsible in shown we can be responsible in to the pandemic, but this a further sacrifice and london after me as temperatures soared , wildfires like this one in pembrokeshire were seen and temporary hosepipe were introduced to control much water
6:15 am
people could use as reservoir levels declined . as summer ended levels declined. as summer ended the climate's changed bitterly cold winds arrived from the arctic, which resulted in snow falling in all corners of the uk . meanwhile, there could be more adverse weather on the way from the us where cyclones battered parts of north america causing nine deaths and travel disruptions. now we're waiting . disruptions. now we're waiting. get a hotel. i don't what i'm going to go home. i don't know how i'm going to get home. my daughter is at home waiting me, my cat. my father is sick. my husband has a sleep apnoea. this our fourth day waiting to but sending back home to canada. they've been taking us to the airport every day . we've been airport every day. we've been sitting in the airport for 12 hours and sending us all with no flights. we keep getting delayed and then cancelled and. then they're not booking us hotel rooms and by the time we get a hotel room, it's one in the morning and we have to get back up six in the morning to come to
6:16 am
the airport to, try and get on a flight to get home with 2023 around the corner. could we see around the corner. could we see a similar picture as we've seen this year? they'll be concerned about droughts again, although we've had lot of rain in recent months , we need lot more months, we need a lot more drinking to stop concerns about drought rising again because some risk, while still recovered from the very early months of 2022. so as we head the summer of 2023, there be concerned about droughts and of course the possibility of further unbearable heat . the messages unbearable heat. the messages from that climate that someone's going to get hotter and drier in the year come as the new year approaches as many will be hoping the weather doesn't dampen their new year's celebration plans ahead of what could be another year of record highs and lows. the age combo gb news. yeah very interesting. well, stay with us because average household is facing , average household is facing, what, abou t £3,000 increase average household is facing, what, about £3,000 increase in their mortgage in 2023, a think
6:17 am
tank has warned rapid rising interest rates this year will feed into higher mortgage costs in 2023, as around 2 million households have moved on to new fixed rate deals, according the resolution foundation. we're joined by property expert russell quirk . you can tell us russell quirk. you can tell us more . thank you very much for more. thank you very much for joining us . so how at the moment joining us. so how at the moment has a market shaping up now ? the has a market shaping up now? the sentiment? i think he's , is not sentiment? i think he's, is not as positive as it was at the beginning of 2022. obviously, the market over the last four or five years has been very, very buoyant. the pandemic, obviously, largely because money costs have been low and of course, because there's been lots of government handouts, lots of government handouts, lots of government handouts, lots of help from government in last four or five months as a consequence of rising inflation and therefore rising interest rates . and i have to say, a lot rates. and i have to say, a lot of overegged media headlines really in terms the prophecies that the housing market will
6:18 am
crash . it's resulted slightly crash. it's resulted slightly less demand and indeed some ease of house price growth over the last three or four months we've seen slight certainly negative house price growth in other words house prices dropping very very slightly . the question for, very slightly. the question for, though, is whether that carries on into 2023. and i think first quarter of 2023 will indeed be a bit choppy for the housing market. frankly, i don't see long term prospects despite it again what those some headlines would have you believe being actually particularly negative. you know the market is actually pretty robust normally and if you look at it from a medium and a long term perspective, it'll be fine. but but certainly it's taken a bit of a hit but i think it's more sentiment related than the ease economics related , even the ease economics related, even though, as you rightly point out , the cost of a mortgage, of course, is increased. what will see that going into 2023. is
6:19 am
that even though the bank of england rate, of course, is much higher now than it was in relative terms, say , seven, relative terms, say, seven, eight months ago , where fixed eight months ago, where fixed rate mortgages concerned, they tend to be price to the price of government debt, a thing called gilt and swap rates. government debt, a thing called gilt and swap rates . and gilt and swap rates. and actually those have come down significantly over the last several weeks, which means the fixed rate mortgages will start to and have already started to reduce in right. reducing cost as we go into q1 year. reduce in right. reducing cost as we go into q1 year . of your as we go into q1 year. of your positivity, that's why get you on to this show you're dead in saying that there have been a lot of negative headlines about property crash but we're not looking at that sort of all that. russell, want to ask that. russell, i want to ask you, are the hotspots? so you, where are the hotspots? so some example, i'm some good news. for example, i'm seeing in york, seeing here that in york, property are really going property prices are really going up 23. what want to get up 23. so what want to get across to viewers morning across to viewers this morning is mortar are still is bricks and mortar are still safe. bet, although we should
6:20 am
keep and carry on. yeah and do i guess because we're so culturally doyle leaning to owning property we do tend to focus on house on a monthly bafisin focus on house on a monthly basis in fact a bit later on this morning there's the latest numbers out from the nationwide we see indexes published on a monthly basis from the likes of nationwide building society halifax bank rightmove, the office of national . and what we office of national. and what we tend to get quite obsessed by those whether it's those of us in the industry or in the media. but of course at any one time, only about 5% of people are actually selling their property. so you might be watching this or reading a headline and prophesying to whether house pnces prophesying to whether house prices are going to or not. but of course if you've owned your property for three or four years and you've got no intention at the moment of selling that, it really doesn't matter if there's this kind of what i is a temporary wobble the housing market because if you're not in
6:21 am
the market if you're not looking to then it really doesn't to sell then it really doesn't matter. and as we said just now, you really have take a long term view the housing market rather getting obsessed and indeed worrying about it almost almost a week week basis that that just makes no whatsoever. but of course, it's great fodder from a media perspective and there are certain media outlets gb news excluded that love to splash a headune excluded that love to splash a headline saying that house pnces headline saying that house prices are going to drop by 30% next year. okay so of course nothing could be further from the best of fortune and property markets the next year. what will with us? because there's more to come after the break including the very sad that british fashion designer. david in westwood has died aged 81. we're paying westwood has died aged 81. we're paying tribute the queen of punk after this hello there i'm planners with your morning weather update rain warnings in force across northern ireland central and southern parts scotland a focussed amber warning for some really heavy

and that was and mclaren punk was a way life for dame vivienne westwood . it was about the westwood. it was about the fashion and fashion was, how she could express that to the masses. and, you know, she was very establishment. and very anti establishment. and dunng very anti establishment. and during the 9070s it was the height of it. and for her she was one of those pioneering people fashion be free and people made fashion be free and she didn't have to conform anything and she was a true she was just a real outlier there. she was definitely a character . she was definitely a character. i mean, have you ever met her? yes i've interviewed her many times. i interviewed her last yean times. i interviewed her last year, actually , a film year, actually, a film screening. and again, it was about activism. if you had about her activism. if you had minutes with dame vivienne westwood , she would be telling westwood, she would be telling you become more friendly towards the climate wake up and the climate. climate wake up and see what surrounds with you and be politics. be be vocal about politics. be quiet. you know, i a lot of people just think fashion people are just kind of just all about style. but she makes fashion and music quite well . yeah, yeah. it music quite well. yeah, yeah. it was amazing that that real life relationship that she had with malcolm mclaren and the all of
6:31 am
the punks. yeah so they were seen as dangerous. yeah but they treated her like. like their mum. she ruled the roost she did and you know she was working till the end as her husband andrea komphela has said that he , that he will be continuing her work and you know, he's left the she us so many for him so she left us so many for him so many to do. so it's not many things to do. so it's not going to be the end to vivienne westwood legacy. and next year they will be launching a foundation. the vivienne westwood be westwood foundation will be keeping and keeping up her activism and her spirit go on and her foundation wonderful. well, stay with us, because still to come, we'll be going through the papers. liz castro and nigel nelson . it's castro and nigel nelson. it's going to be .
6:32 am
6:33 am
great welcome back. you're and listening to breakfast with nana akua and martin told me . well,
6:34 am
akua and martin told me. well, let's take a look at today's front pages now. well, let's take a look at the mirror first. welcome on board, nigel nelson on the front of the mirror dedicates its front page the brazilian pele who brazilian football icon pele who has aged 82 following has died aged 82 following his battle with cancer and the times based on claims by ministers that the cost of strike action before unions and to climb down as soon as the spring. and the telegraph reports rishi sunak is considering the return of for arrivals from covid hit china with the health secretary meeting. sir chris whitty and jenny , the mail reports that jenny, the mail reports that millions of are struggling with an average of over thousand poundsin an average of over thousand pounds in personal debt as unsecured borrowing record levels and onto the independent nhs have warned that the health service is equipped to tackle the so called pandemic of mental health, exacerbated by lockdown and the cost of living . my and the cost of living. my favourite part of the now time to go inside the papers with the
6:35 am
political editor of the sunday mirror sunday people, nigel nelson . my long term sparring nelson. my long term sparring partner. so you have to dig in. liz kershaw well , partner. so you have to dig in. liz kershaw well, i'm so happy about this. it was suppressed by brexit when . we worked together brexit when. we worked together for a long time on another broadcaster and you and i were great, i think great partners. and i'm so fortunate to have you let me know . what's nigella ? i let me know. what's nigella? i never work with you now. we just got nigel. let's start with you three. we have balance as the front page of the times and. it's that story about the unions climbing down. it is, indeed. and a of of government and it's a of sort of government spin here because the prediction is that the unions will run out of money come springtime . and of money come springtime. and this to me is brought about sort of three months of strikes left, which i think would be it's still a bit frightening i mean, broadly, what happens is that the unions pay strike pay is the unions pay out strike pay is roughly the unions pay out strike pay is roughl y £50 the unions pay out strike pay is roughly £50 there's also roughly £50 a day. there's also hardship funds for people who are who are particularly
6:36 am
suffering . and there are some suffering. and there are some figures bouncing around saying, although . the college of although. the college of nursing, for instance, has got million pounds tucked for strikes . if 100,000 nurses go strikes. if 100,000 nurses go out, it'll cost them 5 million a day . i think out, it'll cost them 5 million a day. i think we're getting to a situation the government are quite clearly intending to tough these strikes out . think you these strikes out. think you said earlier in martin that it a bit like the way that thatcher dean bit like the way that thatcher dealt with the miners . we're in dealt with the miners. we're in a whole different different situation here. the thatcher was deaung situation here. the thatcher was dealing with the miners, which was a strike. these are a selection of strikes based on pay selection of strikes based on pay conditions. come on, boys, that they're also as well. i didn't i don't accept that political if they start if they start getting political then they're losing the plot . the they're losing the plot. the whole point is that they bring england into that point list . england into that point list. they all political stripes mean them. and the new tuc , paul them. and the new tuc, paul novak said yesterday , we're
6:37 am
novak said yesterday, we're looking at coordinated strikes soon that's moving into the territory of old days. you don't remember general strikes, isn't it? yeah. the talks also , in it? yeah. the talks also, in another article i read today that rail nurses 19. yeah it's not achievable. think again . but not achievable. think again. but two things i'd like to say about strikes. i think we are being bamboozled in this country by lack of information . you've got lack of information. you've got to dig deeper and look abroad , to dig deeper and look abroad, find out what's going on. it's not any of the many . the not any of the many. the newspapers are in the broadcast . who knows unless they look themselves what's going on in themselves what's going on in the of europe. yeah. and particularly our nearest neighbour france because i've got friends there , there are got friends there, there are strikes in the health service doctors, gp's consultants, nurses people can't get appointments the q and a and a is that because of brexit. no it's because that health service
6:38 am
workers are also striking as are airport workers, male workers, you name it . airport workers, male workers, you name it. so it's not just particular to this country i'd like to say that first because we're beaten ourselves up in this country. oh it's all gone down the pan. actually, it's pan global. yeah economic crisis. the second thing i'd like to say is strikes. strikes. well that we are given the impression these out of the moment, these are blanket. well they're not working around it's not hard to second navigate them because . second navigate them because. the actual facts are that for instance in the nhs , nurses instance in the nhs, nurses strike only fall . out of 125 strike only fall. out of 125 trusts are affected . so we've trusts are affected. so we've got strikes. our hospital, we've had the pulse, every single a postal lady says, i want to say about this two strikes as well they're scuppering because the postal strike has resulted the ballots for the other strikes not getting on time. yeah, let's move on from strikes told move on from strikes been told to well have
6:39 am
to strike well have loads strikes live i'm going strikes later on live i'm going to strike you don't get a sausage box strike liz let's go back to you the front page talk about the code red travel kerbs. oh not coming to britain. yes isn't it because we're all that the government was following the science last time and we were thinking back . it's so 1984 when thinking back. it's so 1984 when you think every time we were glued to our tellies to see what whitty and vallance had say, and i don't consider every and the word the word dissent is getting through, but they didn't get the coverage was to how those voices anyway there's much debate now and there's even a inquiry into whether it was handled properly and whether or not we should have been locked down it's all so i'm no i'm no sciences but i bet they got it wrong but but well well we'll find out the facts . but what about now? this, facts. but what about now? this, this time. so this time what you
6:40 am
do take because . march 2020 we do take because. march 2020 we were everybody's oh our government is too slow to close the borders they've closed the borders in italy they've closed the borders in other european countries. we haven't why so many people have died . it's got many people have died. it's got it's escalated . we didn't act. it's escalated. we didn't act. if you didn't believe lockdowns, then. no, i didn't even . do you then. no, i didn't even. do you know what did you believe in? restrictions. now did believe in lockdowns. then why? wouldn't some i was being some outside? i was being told that i went out and touch something or stood next. somebody breathed on me. i could end on a ventilator. that's what being told. i just this time i'm more cynical . i don't know. i more cynical. i don't know. i really know, you know? and apparently the people are going away like today to talos . oh away like today to talos. oh that that that we're seeing violence show up listen to that tony harris. yeah. well i mean this is not this is not not talking about keeping people out. this is talking about testing people in so i mean, the us, japan, india started doing
6:41 am
it really is the most interesting bomb because what they'll do is they'll do proper genome testing and i be in favour of that this country if we were doing it, what we need to know is there a new variant coming through may escape the vaccine if no sign of at all. yes. no, that's true that none of that is actually happening. but if you were doing the genome testing, you can monitor the kind of changes the virus . kind of changes in the virus. and that's the only point i can see of doing it. if there is variant the variants here , we variant the variants here, we just need to make sure we can find so be too late to test anyone so these about you're not being transparent about being very transparent about that that that and that the thing that is that and there be what they have is there might be what they have is there might be what they have is the perfect melting pot for that virus change to where aren't virus to change to where aren't protected. yes that's right yes i mean it just seems a bit ludicrous. the people aren't prepared to be you're prepared to be them if you're coming from china, they should be tested at least. so you can at least check the sequencing. but that's my point. but by that, that's my point. your are testing them for a purpose, not just see if they've
6:42 am
got way. if you got covid by the way. if you weren't going to is not weren't going to today is not people are you are to get people who are you are to get a pcr test to you know to get on the plane or get in the ship or entry to barbados. so it's widespread still than we. nigel the guardian is having a go at. the conservatives hold the front page this time one in ten tory pays have given more than 100 grand to the party. so yes, whatever the total is even higher that it works out about 50 if you take every 50 million. if you take every thing together from tory peers over what period of time this this is this is the whole lot. so i mean, this is every year with that but it does call into question once again about how we would honours should you actually like a cash for honest thing should you simply give a lot of money to a party and then get a seat in the house of lords? i mean, the guardian focus on dominic johnson, who was a former business partner of jacob rees—mogg . he gave jacob rees—mogg. he gave 300,000. he's in the house of
6:43 am
lords he's a trade minister on the back of that and the is should we delink the money that people are giving to political with the honours they get the should be for doing something not for having a dosh but then labour give their lackeys a lot of pay ships as well. i was was scrap the house of lords. right that's what i mean. sadly, i doubt to elected houses. keir starmer was dangerous. yeah, obviously. i mean it means kevin getting our heads together you know i, would have two houses one and i think there's two roles for a member of parliament. one is to represent constituents with their real problems like potholes and you know, local issues to the top on behalf of the constituents . the behalf of the constituents. the other role is legislature and i would have two houses. one that was about representing the very core of the constituents and the other one which was thinking abouti other one which was thinking about i thought about getting into politics. i wanted to watch
6:44 am
this for some time because you're very, very, you know, gregarious people life, people know common know you. you've got common sense would that sense opinions. but would that be be interested in be able to be interested in taking southwark ? so i would taking southwark? so i would i would love but i couldn't be doing the potholes in london . doing the potholes in london. chase i do want to i'd like in that i'd like to you know , that i'd like to you know, secretary of foreign secretary or some fool i'd love to be colchester secretary. they'd be good.i colchester secretary. they'd be good. i would sort out certain broadcasters straight away , but broadcasters straight away, but there's a deal with yeah in government is the front page of the mail today we talked about this the growing that the resolution foundation funding over 16 grand of person. yeah that old list this completely at odds with an article i was reading earlier this week which is that for example people are just stampeding to buy holidays sales for package holidays , etc. sales for package holidays, etc. just through the roof . i'll just through the roof. i'll probably say this because that's what this is about. well no.
6:45 am
well, the arguments in this was that there's so much built up money. and i can say that not me, but people i know previous. that's the commute into london day fo r £7,000 a year and after day for £7,000 a year and after two nearly three years sitting on quite a stack, i mean, there's one person was doing that still working from home. we got the most lavish gifts . got the most lavish gifts. christmas, i was gobsmacked i was just it's just got more money because it's got more disposable income . so this too. disposable income. so this too. and the other thing is 16th. there's sometimes yeah, it's a lot of money. that's unsecured debt that's not earmark . that debt that's not earmark. that sounds good. but if you've got car loan that easily 16,000, it doesn't necessarily mean that people are loaded up on the credit cards if they are and if they are up to borrow, just put food on the table. that's terrible. but i'd like to get information. this is from price waterhouse. i think that's just the tip , the iceberg. i'm sure the tip, the iceberg. i'm sure most families, more than £16,000. yeah i mean, i do think
6:46 am
that people are going into more debt at the moment. we all saved a bit of money during the during the pandemic. people some people didn't at all any didn't i didn't at all any help whatsoever i, i wasn't thinking as much about the help those people who were working from home didn't have to commute. home and didn't have to commute. there certain saving from there was a certain saving from that. beyond under office that. but beyond under office of budget responsibility figures we're facing over the next two years the worst fall in living standards since the 1950s. and that will actually just exacerbate debt along way. okay. so moving on. sad news yet time away, i think to look back and celebrate as we talk about the sad of pele. of course the king and you're picking this up, nigel, from page of today's daily mirror. they call him the best. yes, indeed. i think that's probably the best headune that's probably the best headline in any of the papers this morning. the mirror is devoting eight pages to pele . devoting eight pages to pele. there's a 12 page pull out in the times and just by looking at the times and just by looking at the papers, you can see what an
6:47 am
extraordinary iconic he actually was . he is he extraordinary iconic he actually was. he is he is somebody who's he's so many records that three world cups under his belt that kind of thing as captain ever repeated. yep and the number of goals always as many goals as matches that he play it. i i consider it as a as small kid remember kind of growing with him and thinking what a nice man he seemed to be. and we've seen the way he treated moore is an example of the picture . the example of the picture. the front page have a front page. actually, i think we that up please of the daily star because this picture i think is not i think it's the greatest footballing picture all time footballing picture of all time can see what would can say that to see what would happenis can say that to see what would happen is brazil are just happen is that brazil are just knocked out england the reigning champions in 1970 in mexico won the and more and more captain bobby moore swap shirts with perry and look at how he caresses him and that same you black player white player 1970 what a friend tastic image of
6:48 am
brotherhood well i think that's a beautiful beautiful image i really do and that's the point and that's the kind of character the pele was . and i just think the pele was. and i just think that that there's so much coverage, it just shows that he spanned the generations as well. it wasn't just back in the 19705, it wasn't just back in the 1970s, is it? is the kind of reputation had all the way through and know that final in 1970 i my mum was in labour me dunng 1970 i my mum was in labour me during the final when pele scored against my dad was downstairs on fourth home and my dad didn't want to stop pushing the football to come and see me me but i never meant as pele was an as a player so one final story is coming to you this is about police recruit dropping out. so boris johnson promised to get 20,000 new coppers to make up for what theresa may took away. yeah. and apparently the recruits are falling away. why that? well, that's. i'm
6:49 am
embarrassed they to feature in headune embarrassed they to feature in headline it's the pharisees fault so nearly 2000. so nearly 10% of dropped out but the reasons given are that it's too hard these are grabbed you it's all well to. no no you don't have to enter as a graduate you can join the police you do have to have they do equivalent of a degree course in tandem to doing practical policing . what is it practical policing. what is it the paperwork that's putting them off all the beat work it says it's some chief constables i've suggested that too many people have the police force in recent years with unrealistic expectations , including of the expectations, including of the job, including the requirement to work antisocial i was in deal with come. you're a copper. then why did they join? only one of them only lasted six months set several new recruits highlighted to juggle academic learning on top of police training. they were talking of the pressure of uni work alongside the full time
6:50 am
job. so i think like nursing where i just everybody have to have a degree by she was an rn. sorry and staten enrolled us and ourjob sorry and staten enrolled us and our job was to keep clean sorry and staten enrolled us and ourjob was to keep clean make our job was to keep clean make sure were fed change dressings she didn't working class she didn't have a degree and then the higher qualified could get on with administering drugs and i'm all for those so we should have those in in the house we should also have you don't have to have bread breads as well as brown . you could be a great brown. you could be a great copper. brown. you could be a great copper . you know, brown. you could be a great copper. you know, i went out the policeman when i was just at university was six foot four bacon key, blonde , a bit thick, bacon key, blonde, a bit thick, bought a plodded the street, did escape me . paul if you're a bad escape me. paul if you're a bad boy, didn't mean that there was there was room for him in the west a place just as much as there is now nigel is this just people is it working britain that they're signing up to be a
6:51 am
copper? and so the oh, it's quite whole book and there's confrontation smell the coffee time. well i just think that an awful lot of people leave jobs when try them out because when they try them out because they .i when they try them out because they . i mean, the they just like them. i mean, the whole thing is that it may well be recruitment process was rather. borisjohnson be recruitment process was rather. boris johnson promised these 20,000 extra officers that's purely to fill the gaps left by the tories getting rid of 20,000 officers during the time austerity. he's got . well, time austerity. he's got. well, not he, but the government have now got to march to meet that target and there's still now got to march to meet that target and there's stil l £5,000, target and there's still £5,000, 5000 short and obviously another that these people are leaving that these people are leaving that does not help the target. okay. we've got to wrap it of there nigel there'll be plenty of opportunity to bash the tories next hour, but it tories in the next hour, but it was great to have back. we was great to have you back. we want thank you both very want to thank you both very much. you analysis much. see you your analysis only. well, if you just joined this fast approaching this is fast approaching 8 minutes is gb news minutes to 7:00. this is gb news on online and digital radio. on tv online and digital radio. let's bring you up to date with the rest of the day's top

7:04 am
tories increasing the gap between the two main parties to 26 points. the liberal democrats on 8, the greens on 9, and reform . on 8. well, joining us reform. on 8. well, joining us now can get the views of we'll to them here so waiting for our guest to come on in the meantime why don't look at a couple of these gb fly views to my mouth tv's they've been coming there's not a great deal of hope out there for rishi to be the man to sort this out. yesterday we were talking on gb news about how return of boris and seen as the where. but what are people saying about rishi? well i mean i mean looking at the poll, look at those quite interesting needs with regard to the parliament. among conservative voters, 3% say confident all. say they're not confident all. so whereas whereas the so that whereas whereas the numbers % among labour voters numbers% among labour voters surprise me that 90% labour votes are not confident with the tory party. but then it does surprise me that the majority of conservative voters are not comfortable . the conservatives comfortable. the conservatives and the that only 2% are even
7:05 am
confident of the 2% of tory votes to come to the game. so it's mess that's a grim reading for the conservatives i think our guest is ready now. okay so joseph robinson we have you on the line, director of orthodox conservatives, good pal of mine, top the morning to you joseph. so this is a grim morning. i was going to sunak, isn't it, joseph joseph? yeah, it's one of those penods joseph? yeah, it's one of those periods that we feel we're going through. itis groundhog day, isn't it? we keep going through this and again where we get up to, you know, once again, local coming up just like we have before and we're already questioning whether or not the backbench is going to stick by that. pm and i think the people have had certainly a lot of employees are disgruntled once again and we're looking forward to stormy seas ahead once more. so i think what the pm has to do if he wants to keep his vote as usualis if he wants to keep his vote as usual is actually reconnect with conservative voter, make sure . conservative voter, make sure. they're aware that he doesn't have same for agenda
7:06 am
have the same for agenda certificates as we've just scotland's you know with significant like theresa may speaking out and of these measures he has to reassure the base base that he's going to start swinging back towards again on tax issues on energy and actually us out of this crisis . another one, the plan is crisis. another one, the plan is sort seems to be getting off the ground. i pardon the pun. but what i he needs to talk more immigration because is another big issue that voters his party in particular. i want him to get a handle on. well, it's huge when you've just seen i discovered that one of your border force was actually an illegal immigrant and things are getting to the point where it's becoming a priority you know you need and also on active and the real issue of course is that he doesn't have any ground he hasn't been building being tough on immigration over the years he couldn't do anything in his previous roles in cabinet to try and step that position now . and
7:07 am
and step that position now. and the real issue that he's got is that he doesn't everyone's surround him saying the right things either he hasn't brought in the best advisors . things either he hasn't brought in the best advisors. he's brought in since to remain is to try and pull them the stormy we the head and he's trying to reconnect with the wrong parts of his voter base and he needs to really get on the ground and start saying things what they are. you know, those brilliant videos we have nigel out to look at the actual situation in the channel. wouldn't it be nice to see rishi actually getting down on ground , announcing the on the ground, announcing the boats and but i doubt we'll see that any time soon. well one one particularly sobering stance here, joseph, is just 2% of tory voters are completely that the tories can deal with this surely area coming to the strikes the current predicament that the government finds himself in. i was on the page of the papers that the unions running out of
7:08 am
money to pay people who are on strike. surely it's time for rishi channel his inner rishi to channel his inner maggie thatcher and just take these on down throat these unions head on down throat . yeah. and again, this this comes back to who you have around . you, you know, a good around. you, you know, a good friend of mine chris amongst and you know he went out onto the picket when the miners were marching. he came out of thatcher's office. he went down, down, had a pint with the miners and got them to compromise. i can't see anyone in number 10 currently having the balls to go out do that. you know , and i out do that. you know, and i think one of the issues we have now is a lack of backbone . do now is a lack of backbone. do they really believe that they're in a position of moral superior to the strikers? this is the issue got and the strikers i mean they know what they're the union bosses are on massive wages they're running a very slick outfit they're running a slick outfit they're running a slick they're not getting much out it, but they know what they're doing and the government's ransom at a time when the government zero problems. and i think what we're
7:09 am
seeing is just lack of crisis . i seeing is just lack of crisis. i mean, when you have such high turnout for number how can turnout for number 10, how can you formulate a strategy against the unions , have years to plan the unions, have years to plan these things and you these things and how can you have any meaningful talks when there's such a high turnover? yeah i mean, literally, what one minute you're an education secretary, minute health secretary. i mean, what do know? and according to our poll , well, and according to our poll, well, 70% of the public is not confident at. that's the public in general. no confidence at all. i mean, that's a national representative survey of british adults by the british policy council , adults by the british policy council, bbc. and that's then they're polling for gb news for people's poll . so this is 70% of people's poll. so this is 70% of people's poll. so this is 70% of people really are confident with the government. all i mean literally for me personally, i don't know where to go and who to vote for this is a this is a problem . what it's a massive problem. what it's a massive problem. what it's a massive problem. and one of the issues you have is that there's no clear cut, second choice, right? if you a conservative and i to support reform you also to
7:10 am
support reform you also to support you know their policies on lords their policies on changing the voting system. there's a lot of ifs and, dots about what they actually stand for . and to the traditional for. and to the traditional conservative base. and, you know what other alternative is there? i mean? and then you have the reality that reform are calling by whether the greens at the moment i mean you know potentially don't pick up again is they still from split is they still from that split vote looking at a vote you're not looking at a major policy of say the real issue . i major policy of say the real issue. i think major policy of say the real issue . i think the conservative issue. i think the conservative base is how do you get voters back on side? this is your opportunity right now . i mean, opportunity right now. i mean, if you've got these claims, people start up and do something about your local area because what's going to end up happening is people will vote based on local issues. tired of the national picture they're tired of all these big issues. you know, immigration get people going an energy can certainly get people going . but the get people going. but the reality is, you know this ban on internal combustion engines is costing the taxpayer 226 billion
7:11 am
between now and 2030. and, you know , you've got a further 50 know, you've got a further 50 billion a year that's being spent net zero commitments when . are they going to wake up and smell the coffee on energy ? i smell the coffee on energy? i mean, because that's the driving that could change things. we've been moments, blackouts been moments, national blackouts over last few weeks and no over the last few weeks and no one's talking it it's like it doesn't exist . mhm. okay. joseph doesn't exist. mhm. okay. joseph roberson and all the director of orthodox services for your time this morning. a grim new to end up a happy new year to you okay . it is what they said about energy actually because i've noficed energy actually because i've noticed that my house my lights have i don't know. have have started. i don't know. have you happened you noticed that it's happened to be a poltergeist. to you? might be a poltergeist. maybe to me maybe they're coming to get me they get me. if you're they come and get me. if you're just joining us. well, come on board. it's fast approaching 7 minutes. 7:00. minutes. 11 minutes after 7:00. let's you up to date with the rest of today's stories . a rest of today's top stories. a new survey suggests men than women have thought about separating from their partner in 2023. a poll from charity relate found that 35% expect the cost

bands she was dressing and inspiring but so many people have been lost in the last month you know, and i'll just i mean we had jerry lewis not punk, but he was like, oh, what and then we've had andy taylor from duran prostate cancer at 56. wilko i'm sure you're a fan of is jack from the stranglers, harry yeah, it's just so sad. it's like my era, my, my formative influences . i go in and what's brings home to me is , you know, when i was to me is, you know, when i was 17 or 18, we had vivienne and we had the clash, the sex pistols and were writing angry songs , and were writing angry songs, thrashing guitars and. all right in. and, you know, i went to a class gig and got headbutted by a girl a basque and suspenders it was a badge of honour that i
7:36 am
had two black eyes for two weeks and then we've got i'd and victoria a blooming beckham with a buddy from what's happened to youth culture what's to rebellion there's so much at the moment there are very few bands that were writing songs it and yelling about it and some put one on through the day . i came one on through the day. i came upon the speaker in kitchen our blimey this la god. and then we listen to more of the songs thought somebody know rattling cages , don't you think what's cages, don't you think what's happened to me it's all sort of like a wallflower. now that they're existing, they're afraid to offend. i mean, you have to be careful. you can't say anything these days. so it's become a bit sanitised. we saw one in you know i used to say i campaign for six music because i didn't want to be listening to whining women passive women accepted abuse in their songs on the radio . okay so he's treating the radio. okay so he's treating you badly get on with it leave
7:37 am
him write some but no all passive and it's just so much you know i think adele's immensely talented but it's just like prune music i guess it's like prune music i guess it's like potent never happened it was called waltz music moving on to to not this one is in the times it's about the pharmacies they're stepping in because i'm taking the place of some gp's and. yeah yep. from punk rock to high street chemists. these some new figures which show that ordinary 40,000 people use their pharmacists for minor injuries , pharmacists for minor injuries, minor illness rather than go to their gp's which was double the number on 2021. and it's showing that from that that pharmacists now are doing and more of the work of gp's, especially as people can't see their gp usually. i mean i saw figures were 5 million people a month, can't get an appointment with a gp, 3 million of those who do get an appointment won't be able to see their gp for at least a
7:38 am
month . so they're turning to month. so they're turning to pharmacists , which is broadly pharmacists, which is broadly a good thing . what is interesting good thing. what is interesting is how far a will go now they can start referring cancer people with possible cancer directly to a specialist. so if you get into a pharmacy and you keep buying cough medicine, the pharmacist clock you and say, harkness, i, i think you ought to go and see a specialist. it seems, you know, it's it seemed like a good idea to use. the more i totally agree. that's your first point of contact with the health service many ways. yeah, i'm i'm a certain age now and i got a text from from from my gp you need your heart rate monitoring local monitoring go to your local pharmacist . monitoring go to your local pharmacist. i did and i walked in got it tested right as rain and i can't get a woman for love the money liz so sure it makes sense to make pharmacies the first port call. yeah well actually i did something wrong with. yeah then. well that's i keep getting by texts and packets that arrive and either
7:39 am
i've mentioned this on not before spit but it's like let's you do a cervical test list you a breast scan let's why don't you do your poo tests in the post and all rest of it from that one. no but i'm sorry , but that one. no but i'm sorry, but it's just, it's just died of colon cancer. it's important. well, my thing is , i was ten well, my thing is, i was ten months into that. i said, well yeah, i'll do it. and i'm in need of treatments. are analysis where i go you know i'm not going to get so it's really but yeah pharmacy and pharmacist me because the doctor actually prescribed me the wrong antibiotic and the wrong dosage and he picked up with it he picked up on it at the time so this the time of does stick with you. oh sorry i stick with you liz. one of your stuff said years revelation . yeah. what's years revelation. yeah. what's this about? well, they happen yean this about? well, they happen year, don't they. the archives release material at the time of the events that are covered. it'5 the events that are covered. it's considered too sensitive ,
7:40 am
it's considered too sensitive, too politically sensitive. so after julie considered period of time, they let it out for the new year and stories covered today include britain backed plan . this is all to do with plan. this is all to do with tony blair's government. britain backed the plan to kill laden nine months before the 911 attacks on the world trade . but attacks on the world trade. but they didn't. two previous incidents which we know i needed reminding of. incidents which we know i needed reminding of . one was the attack reminding of. one was the attack on the uss cole, a guided missile destroyer in aden , and missile destroyer in aden, and then a practise that there'd been a previous attack on the world trade centre that failed to demolish . but the duty still to demolish. but the duty still were there about tony blair wanted vladimir oh yeah. so this just saw this our involvement in bumping off bin laden blocked by clinton blasts and vladimir some silver a well condemn thought he was the future despite others
7:41 am
having misgivings about new russian leader tony just just character says and i wonder if you we know because we talk about you know any connection to vladimir putin now is seen as a career ending . yeah he's blessed career ending. yeah he's blessed and they're going gift. yeah i think going back a bit we were trying to get a rapprochement with russia and bear in mind he was before the days when putin had invaded crimea which should have been the real warning shot all of us in the west about what was about to happen with ukraine so i can understand that have bear that david cameron bear in mind that david cameron was up to the chinese was sucking up to the chinese that we now say we shouldn't be doing i think probably talking to leaders even people who potential enemies is better than not. yeah, definitely. but let's start with you, nigel, and moving to on this one, who would have known this is in the mail, it says still wish you owned a tesla. this all the festive tesla. this is all the festive giveaway chaos with people giveaway and chaos with people waiting yes i mean, waiting to check. yes i mean, tesla owners had a real problem over being able get their
7:42 am
over not being able to get their cars the fact that cars charged. the fact that they're in a of a rail they're in a bit of a rail strike meant they had use the strike meant they had to use the on the problem is we're still not building enough points in this country there are 30,000 around nowhere near enough for the number of electric cars , the the number of electric cars, the roads, the target , 300,000 by roads, the target, 300,000 by 2030. but that's quite a tall order when you think you're going to build of that kind of that kind of rage most of them around in the south. exactly. yeah and you know, the problem is if we if we believe in net zero by 2050, if we're going to get there, we have to step up and sure, this works better. why? because electricity doesn't come from nowhere. all these cars, the electricity still being made by importing frozen gas in tanks in the us so that we can look green . and also, i we can look green. and also, i was of the day, you know, we're all getting out with our electric bills at home. so i'm to the garage and putting petrol in my car and paying all that tax and fuel duty . it's still
7:43 am
tax and fuel duty. it's still like nearly 160 a gallon. we've got an electric car, you plug it in and the rest of the taxpayers are subsidising your motoring effects. well, the other it's just occurred to maybe i'm just an old woman. i just got my bill in like almost 600 quid. so the gas my gas electric bill home is extortionate. any way i was in your car, you nana know what ? your car, you nana know what? what one of those things i'm staying with petrol on the same you. i look at that and i feel like getting out the world's smallest violin in money sense because that we're being told to buy these cars 80, 70 grand. the pole fault that most people watching the show no doubt can't afford that this is this is meant to be the future auto to spend 3 hours charging my car three times on the way to glasgow he's got 45 minutes to wait for that. they'll know obviously be able to cost a fortune cafes around where fortune like cafes around where you sit charge. yeah so you can sit and charge. yeah so all it's all in my view money grab it also you did offer park in driveway people who in our driveway people who can afford know a nice new
7:44 am
afford you know a nice new jaguar i—pace or whatever the cold can probably have a drive or . yeah but cold can probably have a drive or. yeah but they tell them not to over the front garden if you live in a block of flats in east london , but what you do doesn't london, but what you do doesn't an extension but i mean they came out with this battery that you can plug in in your house no charge but then they i mean if you look at reports of fires with chargers from mobile phones, the biggest phones, one of the biggest things are causing fires things that are causing fires and electric car is on and if the electric car is on fire, it out. well, fire, you put it out. well, that's that's that's a that's that's that's that's a great segway. your great segway. listen to your next how do like make a story hapless . i just i it just made hapless. ijust i it just made me chuckle but i just thought. oh, my god. well, i'm a serious. so we were talking in the last segments about people and running up debts unsecured debts of 16,000 on average, according pricewaterhousecoopers report . pricewaterhousecoopers report. but in that same article which i didn't get to it claim that 22 million brits do not an access to a bank account because of
7:45 am
their poor credit rating . so their poor credit rating. so there is a guy in italy who didn't trust banks just a tenuous link. yeah. so we are 22,000 year old savings and he's shoved them up the chimney. yeah to hide them from burglars and also obviously his wife because he didn't tell her. so thought, oh, it's christmas, let's have nice log fire. no. and it's all these monies gone up in smoke . these monies gone up in smoke. oh can you imagine choice words over the christmas budget after that's. well you know hiding the money other ones. well he didn't she didn't know didn't she says him right . i she didn't know didn't she says him right. i mean shouldn't laugh about it. no, but if you got 20 grand to stuff the chimney christmas by santa, then blast down on his on his way blast it down on his on his way down, bu in smoke down, but £20,000 up in smoke but of a hapless loser but a bit of a hapless loser there. another funny story, nigel , and there. another funny story, nigel, and one that makes my eyebrows raise this time of the day. my two pieces of planning. what's now? well, this is the fifties. you're planning some blue new year's resolutions of x
7:46 am
rated resolutions. they certainly are. and this is a survey in the mirror. and you can forget about the sort of the bonng can forget about the sort of the boring resolutions giving up smoking, cutting down on drinking, having a diet, what the fifties want, this coming for next year is they've got to try a threesome. they'd like to get it to two episodes, want to go and meet their teen crush, which is odd thing to go and do while 12% would like to start their first novel so that's the reasonable one. but the rest of it does sound a bit sort of fruity. doesn't that say part want you to years of this. yeah i did i did actually let me sit with my love really and so basically then he proceeded after word me a bit to dump me for the third time in my life. so don't don't go look forward . so don't don't go look forward. look forward. in that sense , you look forward. in that sense, you think it is but it's an interesting sort of reflection. i think on the modern world i mean of a teenage girl. yeah
7:47 am
that's a natural . you get out that's a natural. you get out i wonder what they're up tonight but they're this idea of making a blooming so it's early in the day . yeah let's say it puts my day. yeah let's say it puts my bowel cancer test into perspective . so being to be born perspective. so being to be born in our area here so topic early in our area here so topic early in the morning. okay, maybe should leave it there. thank you . one else in moscow. sure. thank for your input. if you're just joining us, welcome on board. it's fast approaching 8 minutes seven. let's bring minutes after seven. let's bring you up to date with the rest of the day's top stories. a think tank is warning households are facing a groundhog year. living standards continue to be squeezed , describing this year squeezed, describing this year as horrendous the resolution foundation has looked 2023 saying that whilst the year ahead may offer some economic relief, family finances are set to further strain as cost of living crisis deepens . brazil's living crisis deepens. brazil's government declared three days of mourning for football legend pele, who's died sadly at age of

7:49 am
the next to ten days . now the next to ten days. now revolutionary new blood based test which has been developed by a number scientists from the uk, usa, italy and sweden, could pave the way for an early stage diagnosis of alzheimer's disease , according to a leading dementia charity. alzheimer's disease is the common form in the uk, with 60% of cases. but current ways of diagnosing it have pretty challenging , often have pretty challenging, often including tests such as lumbar brain scans . including tests such as lumbar brain scans. the including tests such as lumbar brain scans . the new test can brain scans. the new test can potentially help of people detect the disease and treatment in the early stages of the illness. we're joined by author of dementia , the one stop guide, of dementia, the one stop guide, professor jun andres . of dementia, the one stop guide, professorjun andres . thank of dementia, the one stop guide, professor jun andres. thank you so much forjoining us. so okay, so much forjoining us. so okay, so with this blood test, then, how soon can detect whether you have the disease not. now,
7:50 am
that's not absolutely clear at the moment. what the blood test doesis the moment. what the blood test does is , it picks up evidence . does is, it picks up evidence. there is nerve damage in the body. now we can already do that. but the difficulty up now has been that you couldn't whether that nerve damage was somewhere in the periphery of your body or the one that we're worried about in alzheimer's , worried about in alzheimer's, which is nerve damage inside the brain . so really good there brain. so it's really good there seems to be a way of distinguishing this, which has happened already in 600 test patients . and so that's all patients. and so that's all heading in the right direction. but note of caution is we're still a little bit away from being able to this in the ordinary clinical course of events because of course, people sometimes have symptoms of dementia for years before they get as far as going to the doctor and it would be so much better if there was a simple taste that would mean you could tell early on if you go to the doctor and you able to see doctor and you be able to see what can do to and what what you can do to help and what they do to help you. okay.
7:51 am
they can do to help you. okay. professor andrews, so at the moment , what professor andrews, so at the moment, what are the professor andrews, so at the moment , what are the early professor andrews, so at the moment, what are the early signs of alzheimer's and how would one test for that at present ? well test for that at present? well it's interesting. most people think of that as a memory problem and. so people come to me and say, oh, i keep forgetting things. do you think? i think i've got dementia. in fact, one of the earliest signs is a change the person's judgement. they start to and say things wouldn't have things that they wouldn't have done sometimes that done before. and sometimes that can happening years. can be happening years. you know, will sometimes know, the wife will sometimes see two years there see. i knew for two years there was something wrong my was something wrong with my husband before actually think the symptoms bad to consult the symptoms are bad to consult a doctor . and even then because a doctor. and even then because of the stigma around people are reluctant to . go and talk to the reluctant to. go and talk to the doctor about until the symptoms are quite extreme and that's because the past it's been because in the past it's been quite stigmatised condition quite a stigmatised condition now talk about it more now that talk about it more they'll to have a blood test which could sort things out earlier would be would be much better . in the meantime what better. in the meantime what happens is you talk to your gp and they some tests think
7:52 am
and they say do some tests think that need to go to the that you need to go to the memory then you might memory clinic, then you might have might have have a brain, you might have a lumbar puncture . there's a lumbar puncture. there's quite a lot invasive that might take lot of invasive that might take place and of with the nhs in, the state that it's in at the moment, the time for that could be quite . and considering be quite. and considering that most people affected have most of the people affected have quietly ordered life that amount of is a long time to wait of time is a long time to wait from . the time that you've got from. the time that you've got left to live. so i think in the meantime until this test is widely available , most of us widely available, most of us should consider very early whether not we've got whether or not we've got dementia. all things you dementia. do all things that you can keep yourself as well can do to keep yourself as well as for as long as possible for as long possible. don't hesitate to possible. and don't hesitate to ask your doctor about it. well some would say, though , some people would say, though, what is the point anyway? because find out that because if find out early that if it's serious blood test if it's a serious blood test turns out to be good and, turns out to be really good and, can accurately detect can actually accurately detect really early on. what's the point? i mean, are there any decent treatments that can slow the condition down or? when you find you know you're . find out you now know you're. well, nothing much they well, there's nothing much they can you. well, you don't can for you. well, you don't exactly know your prognosis . you
7:53 am
exactly know your prognosis. you find out because there's a lot that you can to keep yourself that you can do to keep yourself as well as possible as long as well as possible for as long as well as possible for as long as possible. and are very as possible. and there are very people who are people with dementia who are living because they living really well because they realised early on that they should start doing things you can stay well, including can do to stay well, including exercise yourself exercise and keep yourself eating the right kind of food, being cared for and alcohol and smoking and of things you can do to stay as well as for as long as possible. there isn't much medication , but the medication medication, but the medication that does exist is only really if you start at the early stages . why would you want to miss that window of if that's something that can keep you? will ellie diagnosed , this is will ellie diagnosed, this is really important . if you want to really important. if you want to get your affairs in order and any of us could do that. now before there's any symptoms at all. but it really is a wake up call let you know that call to let you know that there's things you want to there's some things you want to do bucket before do in that bucket list before the that you may not the time comes that you may not be able to do those things. okay. professor andrews, do we have indication at all of have any indication at all of how this revolutionary
7:54 am
how far away this revolutionary testing and in meantime , for testing and in the meantime, for those concerned, where's best place for them to go to get help and assistance for dealing with dementia ? if you're worried dementia? if you're worried about your memory , the first about your memory, the first port of call is your gp and your gp be able to signpost you or you'll be able to find out yourself where local carers organisations and alzheimer's organisations and alzheimer's organisation are. they'll be able to give you help and advice you may even want to talk to an independent financial about how it you're going pay for it is you're going to pay for care, care, if that ever care, home care, if that ever becomes you becomes necessary or whether you can care home. there's can afford care home. there's a whole range of things that you can do to prepare this. a part of a tony is something that's really important because you might get to the point where it's you to it's difficult for you to decisions about yourself. and so finding who can finding someone who you can trust, who can make those decisions for you and also taking time them, taking the time to them, what kind decisions you like them kind of decisions you like them to it's that you're to meet. it's not that you're giving you're giving them, blanche. you're telling them you want and giving them the power to make that possible if time possible for you. if a time comes you can't do that
7:55 am
comes when you can't do that yourself. there's whole yourself. so there's a whole range that can go and range people that you can go and see and a whole range of preparation you can do. thank you much, professor. you very much, professor. professor julie andrews is a dementia come . dementia expert. more to come. we'll be telling you the latest on the new gb news people's poll with some surprising results. that after this . hello there. that after this. hello there. i'm planning with your morning weather update. rain warnings in force across . northern ireland, force across. northern ireland, central and southern parts . central and southern parts. scotland, a focussed amber warning . some really heavy rain warning. some really heavy rain across the far south of scotland through the next hours. a snow andice through the next hours. a snow and ice warning also for the far north of scotland. so multiple hazards there. rain also hazards out there. rain also covering much of england and wales. gales the coast, wales. gales along the coast, severe across north severe gales across north channel. it is a very channel. yes it is a very unsettled start to the day. so this wet and, windy weather shifts are quickly eastwards. taking the worst, the weather with it still a blustery afternoon . gales remain across afternoon. gales remain across shetland as well as . orkney with shetland as well as. orkney with some outbreaks of rain and a return to showers across western scotland as well as northern ireland. continues

8:03 am
completely confident the government could even reduce the cost of living at all in 2023 and the majority of the public thatis and the majority of the public that is 60% of us also believe that is 60% of us also believe that their family's financial situation would be worse in 2023. that is compared to this year and the latest westminster voting intention sees labour on 45% of the national vote. while the conservative party is down to a mere 19, this represents a 3% fall for the tories, increasing the gap between the two main parties to 26 points. meanwhile, the liberal democrats own 8. the greens are on 9. and coming up on the inside, reform are on 8. right. so it's a look into these results in way more detail now as charlie rowley, who's a former special adviser to mike gove. oh, i said charlie , let's dissect some of these figures, because so many it's looking pretty grim. if we look at the overall figure, 70% of the public is not convinced at all. that's naturally national representative figure. and the only 4% are completely or fairly

confident. i mean, that's very , confident. i mean, that's very, very worrying. it is concerning. and i think the government now needs to make sure that goes into 2023 with a clear plan to be able to win the support of these people back. and i think whilst you can't dismiss this poll, polls out only a snapshot in any given particular time. and so if every poll would be believed, we would have had ed miliband as prime minister in 2015. we would have stayed in the european in 2016, and the european union in 2016, and theresa would 100 theresa may would have had 100 plus majority 2017. now, plus seat majority in 2017. now, none that came pass. none of that came to pass. different circumstances . i'm different circumstances. i'm aware i'm not dismissing aware and i'm not dismissing these but there is room these figures, but there is room for the government these figures, but there is room for to the government these figures, but there is room for to get the government these figures, but there is room for to get on the government these figures, but there is room for to get on tfrontyvernment these figures, but there is room for to get on tfront foot ment needs to get on the front foot in to make sure that it in 2023 to make sure that it wins these people back . well, wins these people back. well, charlie, poll really charlie, this poll has really got viewers home. got the viewers going at home. a let's a couple of their let's put a couple of their points i could. the points to you, if i could. the divergence divergent. matt, say is this government is pointless . incumbents usurped power . the incumbents usurped power and despised by those who and are despised by those who voted the tories in 2019. so voted for the tories in 2019. so he wants boris back . whereas he wants boris back. whereas keith says rishi sunak is
8:05 am
exactly the right man for the job at hand. where do you stand? because if only 2% of tories are completely confident that rishi can deal with this . from our can deal with this. from our people's poll , can deal with this. from our people's poll, is he the right man for the job? well, it won't surprise to learn i'm part of that 2% because, you know, i've beenin that 2% because, you know, i've been in a privileged position to see rishi in action. i saw him when he was chief secretary to the treasury, when he was the chancellor dealing with covid. and he's come in the role, and as he's come in to the role, the job of being prime minister, he's got the economy on he's got the economy back on track was bit of track after what was a bit of a turbulent period, i think there's no doubt about that. so he's demonstrated that he is absolutely for the job absolutely the man for the job to country the to take this country through the difficult economic circumstances that will that it currently faces and will be to deliver on other be able to deliver on other priorities people facing priorities. is the people facing the up policy scheme that the round up policy scheme that he of he announced just a couple of weeks tackling the migrant weeks ago? tackling the migrant crisis that we see in this country right country absolutely the right thing he'll be thing to be doing. and he'll be setting many policies on setting up many more policies on that. a great deal of evidence of that particular elephant in the and a lot the room. not really. and a lot of people that, well, he
8:06 am
of people saying that, well, he should at the helm to fix the should be at the helm to fix the mess created. alex says mess that he created. alex says the that government the fact that this government think a chance think that they stand a chance of re—elected is just of getting re—elected is just another of another indication of how utterly of touch people utterly out of touch of people they are mandates, they are with mandates, lockdowns, increases, lockdowns, energy increases, families breadline and families on the breadline and businesses chance. businesses bankrupt. no chance. this is you know, people are saying no chance. the poll saying no chance. and the poll doesn't . i saying no chance. and the poll doesn't. i know saying no chance. and the poll doesn't . i know you said about doesn't. i know you said about polls not necessarily being it's a snapshot , polls not necessarily being it's a snapshot, but this the a snapshot, but this is the people's poll done has people's poll we've done has been spoken the been done and spoken to the people. what they're people. and that's what they're saying. i and i sympathise saying. well, i and i sympathise to agree, but think the to agree, but i think the government will just need to demonstrate doing demonstrate what it's doing to help and already help people and it's already done through. yes, a large done that through. yes, a large energy package energy support package to help the vulnerable. the most vulnerable. jeremy hunt did his autumn did announce during his autumn statement a few months ago the support those people on the support for those people on the lowest protecting lowest incomes, protecting benefits , protecting pensioners benefits, protecting pensioners benefits, protecting pensioners benefits we're dealing with benefits when we're dealing with a high inflation and cost of living crisis, many people now suggest that inflation has peaked. suggest that inflation has peaked . that'll hopefully peaked. that'll hopefully come down next year. that's the government's number priority government's number one priority and the biggest and that will be the biggest indicator people with indicator to help people with the current cost of living.
8:07 am
there an argument, isn't there is an argument, isn't there, say this mess there, to say that this mess will happening. was will be happening. whoever was in power, because £5 billion on the pandemic, that was the pandemic, all of that was rishi's cheque that he signed. but keith is saying here the elephant in the room is in inflation. surely a way of inflation. so surely a way of tackling inflation , or at least tackling inflation, or at least not adding to the public purse is for rishi to get tough with the unions on the strikes . 100% the unions on the strikes. 100% correct with keith because when you're dealing with a limited or finite resources, when order, when you're going through a tough economic situation, as we currently are with high inflation, that is the number one issue that helps with the cost of living. so bringing that down will help people's day to day pay packets. you can't then start awarding a bumbling functionary pay increases to unions that are bankrolling the labour party, that are committed to bringing this country a pretty much to its knees. we saw what the rmt were doing over christmas, which was destroying not just the hopes and dreams of families to be together after
8:08 am
what's been a very, very difficult few years. but on a particular weekend, such the particular weekend, such as the weekend before christmas, you did financial did the biggest financial football, street football, you know, high street shopping centres , supermarkets shopping centres, supermarkets should been receiving on should have been receiving on the of a bad few years. it the back of a bad few years. it was the rmt in the unions that prevented people making that shopping trip to try to increase sales . and i and i regret that sales. and i and i regret that immensely. the prime minister has to be tough going into the new year with the unions. i'm sure he be all those sales sure he will be all those sales were apparently 40% higher and also the army seem to be handung also the army seem to be handling things quite well instead of border force doing a better and this the better job. and this the strikers are scuppering themselves because the post office strike means some of the ballots aren't receiving , aren't ballots aren't receiving, aren't getting in on time for the strikes carry i think strikes to carry on. i think that's absolutely right. and what we're hearing from the new general secretary of tuc is general secretary of the tuc is to there'll be sort of to say that there'll be sort of some collusion amongst some sort of collusion amongst the to bring strike the unions to bring about strike action. we'll just focus action. i think we'll just focus the minds of people this the minds of people in this country that may be country and those that may be slightly disillusioned the
8:09 am
slightly disillusioned with the current very current government. the very clear next clear choice at the next election will be between election will then be between a prime minister, rishi sunak, that's dealt with the economic circumstances with this country, that has brought the cost of living hopefully to an living crisis hopefully to an end has been tough with end and has also been tough with the versus labour the unions versus the labour party. that's got new issue and there's a new new policy on migration, on the economy and it's bankrolled by the it's being bankrolled by the people to bring this people that want to bring this country knees. okay. country to its knees. okay. well, certainly well, charlie, certainly yesterday news, viewers yesterday on gb news, viewers out telling us that out there were telling us that they to deal they wanted boris back to deal with mess. but caroline, with this mess. but caroline, final here, too. caroline final point here, too. caroline is the last is saying this after the last three i'm politically three years, i'm politically homeless. nothing this government will alter this government says will alter this . i'm looking alternatives to . i'm looking to alternatives to the big two parties. how worried of the concern is about the insurgent policies, such as reform? well, i think what we have to do is make sure that we deliver on what the conservative party committed to in 2019. now there was an acceptance that there was an acceptance that there are many, many people across the country, particularly in red wall seats, lent in red wall seats, that lent their the conservative their vote to the conservative party up country party to level up the country and that as though
8:10 am
and people that feel as though they're homeless in they're politically homeless in this need to make this situation. we need to make sure feel as though sure that they feel as though the party be the conservative party can be their can the for the their home. can the for the government again? because the choice very, very clear choice will be very, very clear if vote downing street if you vote for downing street reform liberal democrats, reform or the liberal democrats, they're going to be in power they're not going to be in power . vote other than voting . so any vote other than voting for the conservative party , for the conservative party, which hopefully will have dealt with economic situation, with the economic situation, which addressing many which will be addressing many of the people right the issues that people right across country it'll across this country face, it'll be choice between rishi be a choice between rishi rishi's, conservative government or a government that's or a labour government that's got answers to big got no answers to the big questions of day . lucky. questions of the day. lucky. lucky . yeah. well, get so lucky us. yeah. well, get so loyal till the very end, johnny. thank you for your input this morning. thank you for having me. and thank you. happy new year you as let's bring year to you as well. let's bring you to date with the rest of you up to date with the rest of the top stories. and the day's top stories. and brazil's government has declared three days of mourning for football sadly football legend pele, who sadly died at age of 82. one, died at the age of 82. one, stand fifa is the greatest stand by. fifa is the greatest play stand by. fifa is the greatest play century. the play of the 20th century. the three time world cup winner died in hospital sao paolo, where in hospital in sao paolo, where he'd been since the end of last month. he'd been undergoing

8:16 am
which were affected by flooding, like in yorkshire and gloucester . fast forward to spring. the weather began to change, many people making the most of it. then came the peak of summer, which saw new record highs in wales and scotland and temperatures reaching 40 degrees celsius in england , prompting celsius in england, prompting warnings from leaders in london were particularly concerned because of the urban heat in effect, being in a global city, but also because we know many families will struggle in this summer keeping their kids cool so things like they will not be able to fill up their paddling pool able to fill up their paddling pool, they will not be able to have regular showers throughout the of the date. cool the course of the date. cool themselves down with as temperatures north of degrees temperatures north of 30 degrees because consequences of because of the consequences of climate think climate change. i think londoners have we can be londoners have shown we can be responsible in relation the responsible in relation to the pandemic, this is a further pandemic, but this is a further sacrifice and londoners have to make. as temperatures soared , make. as temperatures soared, wildfires like this one in pembrokeshire here seen and pembrokeshire here were seen and temporary hosepipe bans were introduced to control how much

six in the morning to come back to airport to try and get on to the airport to try and get on a to get home with 2023 a flight to get home with 2023 around the corner , could we see around the corner, could we see around the corner, could we see a similar picture as we've seen this year, there'll be concerns about droughts again, although we've lot of rain in we've had a lot of rain in recent months, we need a lot more if we're going to stop. concerns about drought rising again reservoirs again because some reservoirs still haven't recovered from the very dry early months of 2022. so as we head into the summer of 2023, there will be concerned about droughts and of course the possibility of further unbearable heat because the messages from that climate scientist that someone's going to get hotter and drier in the years to come as the new year approaches, many will be hoping the weather doesn't dampen their new year's celebration plans ahead of what could be another year of record highs and lows. theo chikomba . gb news also is theo chikomba. gb news also is there with all the predictions of the weather on the way this yean of the weather on the way this year. nice warm year. hopefully what more to come will reflect

8:24 am
compare to vivienne westwood. she was a true pioneer. and as kim cattrall from sex, the actress from sex and the city puts it, she was a treat, a true genius who never lost her northern grit . and that's the northern grit. and that's the thing. she was born in derbyshire, but she came down to london in the 70 and she really made her mark with her boutique, the sex boutique , with her then the sex boutique, with her then partner. and malcolm mclaren. but you know , moving on from in but you know, moving on from in 2022 has been a monumental year of lots of creatives and famous faces that we've lost and i always like to say legends never die because their work just continue , whether it's art, continue, whether it's art, music or film . at the beginning music or film. at the beginning of the year, it was done alone. i think when we lost airport. sydney puts and he single single handedly changed the perception of black actors in hollywood . he of black actors in hollywood. he was one of the first few actors as well to pick up an oscar and you know, all the roles that he'd done from lilies of the fields, heat of the night come
8:25 am
here. guess who's coming to dinner? he was just one of these poignant people that, you know, you never forget when you think of acting and black actors . he of acting and black actors. he actually the way for us and actually led the way for us and so many more . and then also so many more. and then also another icon of screen, he passed august was olivia passed away in august was olivia newton—john . well, she's a newton—john. well, she's a british girl, but she became american sweetheart, obviously playing her role in grease the sun in the 1978 film adaption of grease as she battled for quite a long time, very publicly, as with breast cancer and was very outspoken as well and says, oh turned to treatments for that definitely she had not medicinal cannabis yet and she had lived a long time, which she did because her first her first diagnosis was in 92, and she didn't die till 30 years later. so she was quite active about cbd and the benefits of it and how she lost it that long. so again, she was another icon of screen who we lost this year. i also find that when people pass like this, it's initially sad, actually
8:26 am
initially sad, but actually there's joy to look there's a lot of joy to look back on. i mean, how many people got grease? i they get got the grease? i mean, they get that it wasn't it. yeah. we saw pictures of john travolta . no. pictures of john travolta. no. yeah. people paying tribute to her as there's just as her as well. there's just as well a that just lives on well a work that just lives on in fans lives and new generations fans as well. also learning about these people who passed away. but another prominent cancer campaigner who we named we lost this year was named deborah james. you know, she put out that slogan, check your pee because you could save your life because you could save your life because before bowel cancer was, i think, really people didn't want to talk about it was that silent killer and you know, with following path , her charity following her path, her charity raise d £7.5 million into bowel raised £7.5 million into bowel research. and it was quite sad before she died, she said, i'm not brave. i'm not dignified going towards my death . i'm going towards my death. i'm a simple and simply a scared girl who's saying something . she had who's saying something. she had no choice in. the interesting thing about that, the moving thing about that, the moving thing about that is because of the age of social media, which can a flag that people can be a flag that people were able her. you know, in
8:27 am

8:30 am
8:31 am
break it is fast approaching 32 minutes after 8:00. welcome
8:32 am
back. we're watching and listening to breakfast. with me now, a queer and martin daubney, a first. let's take a look at today's front pages. well, the mirror dedicates its front page to brazilian football icon pele , who died aged 82 following a battle with cancer . the star battle with cancer. the star calls pele the real greatest of all time, the goat with his iconic image here of the brazilian legend with bobby, more england caps. my favourite football image of all time . now football image of all time. now the on claims by the time leads on claims by ministers that the cost of strike action will force unions into climbdown as soon as spring. and the telegraph reports rishi sunak is considering the return of mr. elections for rivals from covid hit china with the health secretary meeting. sir chris whitty and jenny harries . secretary meeting. sir chris whitty and jenny harries. she's returning in this terrible sense . the mail reports that millions of families are struggling with an average of over of families are struggling with an average of ove r £16,000 in an average of over £16,000 in personal debt as unsecured borrowing hits record levels and
8:33 am
all to the independent nhs leaders have warned that the health service is not equipped to tackle the so—called parallel pandemic of mental health, exacerbated by lockdown and the cost of living. what so it's time to go through the papers now. joining us this morning is political editor, the sunday mirror sunday people, nigel mirror and sunday people, nigel nelson broadcaster liz nelson and also broadcaster liz kershaw. right nigel, i'm going to start with you because you've got your story in the mail about nurses and they must promise to compromise on this time. yeah. and this is this was paul, now the new general secretary of the tuc. he was introducing himself yesterday and saying quite sensible things, really. he was sort of he's against things like second reaction, which obviously is now outlawed . and that is now outlawed. and that suggests that he will also be happy against moving towards a general strike . but what do you general strike. but what do you mention as the nurses ? he says mention as the nurses? he says that the 19, their demands and just really isn't realistic . and just really isn't realistic. and i think it's reasonable because
8:34 am
that they they have lost 20% of in real terms of their money in the last ten years. but he's quite right. it is an unrealistic pay demands. so the important thing is i think the nurses know this, too, by the way . and so the important thing way. and so the important thing now is if the government starts talking, you can actually get a deal talking, you can actually get a deal. the problem at the moment is the government won't even talk to them. so i don't think a four or 5% rise is good enough . four or 5% rise is good enough. not with inflation hitting 10, but you might be at a compromise around seven, eight, something like that . billion people ask us like that. billion people ask us to say , but the government won't to say, but the government won't talk to them in a sense because isn't all their pay decided by people bodies? yeah. people want the government and that's how it works. yes. and the trouble about the pay bodies is they're not really independent because they're actually bound by government constraints about what they can give us. so they have to take into account things like inflation, what's affordable and so on. so it may
8:35 am
well be after all these strikes are over , we look again at the are over, we look again at the way the pay bodies operate. that's the government position. but it doesn't stop the government from actually giving a more . and bear in mind the a bit more. and bear in mind the pay, a bit more. and bear in mind the pay, what is actually reported back february , long, long back in february, long, long before inflation hit before inflation had hit the rates we've got the moment. rates we've got at the moment. i wonder, liz, if this kind of softening of pay is actually an acknowledgement it's a recognition of the fact they're not going to get a 19% pay rise. and do you think they even deserve i mean, of deserve it? i mean, nurses, of course, are amazing, but 19% of the country can't afford it. okay come onto that in a second. the country can't afford it. oka the me onto that in a second. the country can't afford it. oka the government: in a second. the country can't afford it. oka the government why| second. the country can't afford it. oka the government why shouldi. but the government why should the it goal, the government, when it goal, starting nurses , when starting with the nurses, when you've at vast swathes of you've got at vast swathes of managers on six figure salaries in various bodies and quangos in the nhs as you've got on june 25, trusts , you've got nhs, 25, trusts, you've got nhs, england , nhs, scotland, etc. england, nhs, scotland, etc. you've got nhs providers, you've got all these things which are
8:36 am
looked upon online the other week. it'sjust looked upon online the other week. it's just ridiculous. and also, if i were a nurse and i was say on the median salary for a nurse, which is 31,000, and i work for one of the 70 trusts that have employed at a cost of eight and a half million pounds, the taxpayer, 107 say diversity and equality officers three per trust. it's an of 50 grand and i was the one it was giving people medicine and wiping the bottoms and getting them ready for that. and there's somebody around going , oh, we and there's somebody around going, oh, we need more of this box to take. i'd be really furious. and the way there's a pie chart and prescriptions , pie chart and prescriptions, more is spent on prescriptions than is spent on medical treatment . and we're talking treatment. and we're talking about , yeah, treatment. and we're talking about, yeah, is it £9? treatment. and we're talking about , yeah, is it £9? therefore about, yeah, is it £9? therefore prescription for a 35 pay but by far from are a loaf a special and gluten free loaf you can get
8:37 am
and gluten free loaf you can get a suntan lotion you know i would say the nurses are probably worth more and there would be the money for them if we got rid of all the way. yeah, i agree with that. let's move on to another health story you've picked up there today, liz, from the sun. this is about a&e waiting times. yeah, well, this is hospitals across england that have declared critical incidents. and this means they can call on over triple sites to take patients , follow them, and take patients, follow them, and they've also can tell people to not call non non unless it's life threatening. i know that, you know, if you line up here, no person living alone, you've fallen on the floor. there was a case last week of a man who died in iran three or four times, and he was saying on the phone, i'm fading away. i'm fading away. and he died . and i tweets this. and he died. and i tweets this. i posted a story about the 22 month old child who's taken to wigan infirmary. parents were
8:38 am
sent to, i'm told, to give a walter and paracetamol. she went to a cot in the morning and she was dead . there's now going to was dead. there's now going to be an inquiry. lessons will be learned. so you know, there's so many scary stories, right? but we've got people on trolleys . we've got people on trolleys. we've got people in 84, 40 hours. we've got an old man on a trolley in a corridor for 80 hours. we've got ambulances queuing outside the deposit , the queuing outside the deposit, the patients because patients cannot be discharged because there's nowhere in the care service for them to go . all the waiting for them to go. all the waiting for discharge forms and prescriptions and it's it is just a mess. i think i can live with postal strikes, rail strikes , god knows what power strikes, god knows what power saving i'm terrified of mail. somebody that i care about even in emergency. how secure and where we need to actually get them to see a doctor . i think we them to see a doctor. i think we can all agree that extremely
8:39 am
frightened is in need of overhaul. so it's also honestly question yes. i think the nurses pay question yes. i think the nurses pay should be carefully looked at, but you'd find the money if you didn't waste it, if they would stop that. nigel over to you now because this is about seeing positives of uk history because it's too we're always showing the negative stuff. yeah, that's right. and this is sir tim lawrence , who's the sir tim lawrence, who's the outgoing chair of english heritage, who's being a bit more bullish about our past than perhaps the national trust is at the moment. so what you the moment. so what do you saying? that let's present saying? is that let's present the whole picture . it may not the whole picture. it may not always be very pretty, but if you to learn from history, you want to learn from history, you've everything that you've got see everything that happened and it in the happened and also set it in the context , the context the context, the context of the time, what actually time, what is actually unacceptable now wasn't unacceptable now wasn't unacceptable 500 years ago . and unacceptable 500 years ago. and he doesn't directly mention it, but this is what he's getting at. it's things like pulling down statues of slave is changing street names where there's a slavery associate and he's speaking the point we ought
8:40 am
to recognise as we also abolish slavery, we were we were one of the countries that led the way in that to and that if you have a statue of slaves somewhere thatis a statue of slaves somewhere that is in context that's what was put there. it doesn't mean you agree with it. it just means it should be there. and i think it's absolutely right that we should acknowledge the past. i agree. and said, i don't should acknowledge the past. i agree howi said, i don't should acknowledge the past. i agree how it said, i don't should acknowledge the past. i agree how it makes i don't should acknowledge the past. i agree how it makes you»n't should acknowledge the past. i agree how it makes you feel. it know how it makes you feel. it really re discussed and saddens me. for example when i see the church or statue being desecrating being sprayed that he's a racist and we so infrequently hear about the fact that this guy vanquish from the european continent at a time when we get called ourselves, we'll find ourselves this . oh, we'll find ourselves this. oh, yeah. talking of which, i mean, what really galls me is that very simple . people who are very simple. people who are progressives , you know, banging progressives, you know, banging on about pulling down statues, renaming oxford university colleges of the same people call people who've watched brexit right wing and actually want they sent people who will go on
8:41 am
about slavery. and i think had a really good education slavery and understanding and can sympathise some extend are the same people who want to carry on importing cheap labour for slave not quite wages because britons won't do those dirty jobs. it's you know , it's double standards. you know, it's double standards. but in the papers again today the apart from the english heritage trust which nigel is talking about and tim laurence, there are two of the stories about the campaign for common sense and history re claimed, which is a bunch of academics , which is a bunch of academics, history professors and they are basically saying, let's let's not rewrite history. because the one thing that i was saying when the talking about slavery in the 18th and 19th, early 19th century until it was abolished try being poor in this country try being poor in this country try been working class and you were virtually you were paid pennies you were virtually a slave you life expect since it was zero you working in dc raised slums . if you're an
8:42 am
raised slums. if you're an agricultural worker real hardship real and imagined hardship real and imagined hardship all and it wasn't didn't own capital land or wealth probably from the slave trade but anybody else in this country was like , you know, country was like, you know, literally peasant covered in filth. i've got a question . and filth. i've got a question. and they still today working class, white working class people in this country who are still exploited by capitalism , it goes exploited by capitalism, it goes on. so maybe these people's , on. so maybe these people's, instead of harking back to the past and, you know, maybe they should look at what's going on in modern day britain , their in modern day britain, their iphones ipads, some that's iphones and ipads, some that's just made by slaves. yes this bnngs just made by slaves. yes this brings up a good beginning, just made by slaves. yes this brings up a good beginning , just brings up a good beginning, just mentally. this brings us not to your story, les. all right. your next story, les. all right. apparently, would have apparently, who would have thought bbc is warping thought it? the bbc is warping modern britain because it's make is making out the left wing bbc that we're racist and it's that we're all racist and it's in terms of dramas the drama now all full of left wing bias. well
8:43 am
it's been going on. i've watched that for 35 years. and i'm not it because i see bitterness because they retired me earlier this year. but i thought i wrote about this in newspapers . well, about this in newspapers. well, it was that, which is probably why i wasn't very popular with the management. but we were indoctrinated. i get cues written for me when i was doing news programmes and i put news programmes and i just put a red line through them. i'm not reading the things were reading the things that were given as statement of fact, given as a statement of fact, which things , and you which kind of things, and you get a piece to be doing an interview about, know , interview about, you know, climate change global warming climate change or global warming as it was known then. it's been changed because not changed because it's not warming. you'd get the warming. but you'd get the opening paragraph would say, we all that man , activities all know that man, activities are changing the world's climate. some not saying that. and then i'd say , can i have and then i'd say, can i have a guest on both sides ? you know, guest on both sides? you know, it sounds off in one universe. let's get somebody from another university. and anyway , and it university. and anyway, and it was like the mantras were, we're all going to die because of
8:44 am
climate change. all immigration is good , all brexiteers are is good, all brexiteers are racist anyway. so i can say now just forget quickly on the job. i was watching the news the night and i was almost so incensed to ofcom because we had this whole thing on the climate and on the weather in britain over the last 12 months and it was just it is a fact that it was just it is a fact that it was because of climate change and it was the hottest year even and it was the hottest year ever. no, it's not. we've had records since 1850, to be honest . when i was at the bbc, it was the same thing. you couldn't say that you questioned climate change talk, nigel, but your views on this, it's actually they're print now. they left they're in print now. they left wing . well i mean what wing. well yeah i mean what think that happens on the bbc is that it's not a lot of the people of our central left to understand that they also bend over backwards to try and fair to the right and part . often you to the right and part. often you get a situation with i'm sorry that they do that. in the time when it was brexit, there was
8:45 am
only one person on the panel and well, i mean, you may well be the most people who work at the bbc. remainers, they used bbc. we remainers, but they used to out of way to try to go out of their way to try and somebody to present the and find somebody to present the opposite case and often i think that why did i get phone calls from management insidious phone that why did i get phone calls from |management insidious phone that why did i get phone calls from |management everyiious phone that why did i get phone calls from |management every timephone calls. management every time every i tweeted my support every time i tweeted my support for brexit you because you're not allowed to a on not allowed to have a view on the bbc. i'm amused. that's the bbc. well i'm amused. that's right. i mean the whole the whole point there, in your view, to for yes. because to work for them? yes. because they're be impartial, they're trying to be impartial, but not. and sometimes they're trying to be impartial, but impartialityand sometimes they're trying to be impartial, but impartiality goesometimes they're trying to be impartial, but impartiality goes anetimes they're trying to be impartial, but impartiality goes a bit mes they're trying to be impartial, but impartiality goes a bit fars that impartiality goes a bit far in that minority is in the sense that minority is actually a minority opinion, often gets more airtime than is actually due just to get the balance going. well, they've got rid of all their diverse programming . it looks like programming. it looks like they're getting rid of them. so all their stations or their supposedly black programmes, what they i'm sorry the what they i'm sorry to see the end of that, but they're getting rid they're getting rid of that. so they're getting rid of that. so they're getting rid of that. so they're getting rid of things. i'm rid of a lot of things. i'm sorry sorry you go. yeah, sorry sorry to see you go. yeah, i agree. yeah. it's not so much left or right or brexit unknown brexit in news agenda . it's
8:46 am
brexit in the news agenda. it's about facts and not about reporting facts and not and having or not reporting and not having or not reporting things as fact . there are many things as fact. there are many dramas at the same . this one dramas at the same. this one could only be the star, isn't it? this indeed takes place, but it's a fact . this is. this is it's a fact. this is. this is hollywood , university of hollywood, university of massachusetts and they've set up a speed camera to try and catch ufos whizzing through our solar system , going too fast. now it's system, going too fast. now it's not to actually give them tickets or anything like that. the argument goes that objects keep coming at us and we didn't know about when they've disappeared. so if they get the speaker cameras set up, they'll actually catch them. so one of the example was five years ago, as 3000 oblong thingy from deep space came at us of hundred and 96,000 miles per hour, may be it was a ufo, maybe ? no, but was a ufo, maybe? no, but a telescope. and he picked it up . telescope. and he picked it up. i think he's. yeah. 40 days after it it passed this way we might actually catch them in the act so if it turns out we can
8:47 am
find it wonderful. really yeah. i've often joked that if a comet did strike earth , the bbc will did strike earth, the bbc will probably blame brexit so. oh oh oh climate change one of the two. so back to that, liz , final two. so back to that, liz, final story of the morning for this hour at least from the sun. yeah it's always a fighting in the polls. the three new year's resolution wins. yes, it is . resolution wins. yes, it is. talking about really as we sunak. it's got to get to grips with the economy. inflation convinced the public that it's in safe hands with the tories than it is with labour. that's is first results. she's got to get a grip on immigration and border control . the influx of border control. the influx of albanians and the convention on human rights has to be reviewed and finally was crucial in my opinion. he's got to have some
8:48 am
charisma. he's got to get the johnson factor board, because what we need at the moment is leadership and leadership is all about motivation and so i've got about motivation and so i've got a slogan for rishi if anybody would like to engage me as a personal adviser and simulates , personal adviser and simulates, regulate multi vat because that so that's quite an important i would say fix the economy . so would say fix the economy. so immigration and welfare there's moral issues. but i mean, the whole thing is rishi sunak is never going to be boris johnson , not many. boris was charismatic . rishi hasn't quite charismatic. rishi hasn't quite got, but it just said my arden will remain but remain friend will remain but remain a friend . it was so anti boris and part get out get partygate came for christmas. she saw myself through the night and she saw rishi sunak on the telling jokes that she went oh what do ms. bofisis that she went oh what do ms. boris is all right? boris was at least he was interested in inspiration in some respect, but it was patriotic. well, if you're just joining us. thank you're just joining us. thank you very much, sir. nigel, is

9:03 am
conservative voters , 53. they conservative voters, 53. they are not confident at all. whereas the number rises to the 90. among labour voters , only 2% 90. among labour voters, only 2% of tory voters are completely confident the government can reduce the cost of living in 2023. the majority of the public thatis 2023. the majority of the public that is 60, also believe that their family's financial situation will be worse in 2023 compared to this year and the latest westminster voting intention sees labour on 45% of the national vote, while the conservative party is down to a mere 90. this represents a three point fall for the tories increasing the gap between the two main policies to 26 points. meanwhile, the liberal democrats or 8, the greens are on 9% and reform are on 8. so joining us now to discuss this is the direct talk of the orthodox conservatives, joseph roberts and joseph, thank you very much for joining us. now, you heard forjoining us. now, you heard the thing is there. what do you make of those results ? that was
9:04 am
make of those results? that was surprising, really. i think that get widening more because people are deciding that they won't go out this time to fight on a policy that failed to hold its mandate from the british people last time round. i don't that conservative base in some labour bases or indeed that there's been a massive swing towards reform in the past few weeks. i think it's just a case of see, people are tired of talking about the same issues . groundhog about the same issues. groundhog day is the time to do it. running with, you know, and i think that's pretty much where people are out there sick of the same old issues with no solutions. okay joseph. well, as a director of orthodox conservatives , i'm interested in conservatives, i'm interested in knowing, have you found or come across any of these 2% of tories who are completely confident the rishi sunak can get us out of this mess? well until now, i thought that they were mainly false online. whenever someone criticises the conservative party, but apparently their real people. i've yet to meet one in
9:05 am
the flesh, but i believe that they are there and i think most of us are trying to get jobs within the conservative party at this point. if they really believe what they're saying just for a bit of balance. i mean i mean, certainly the gb viewers today are being very critical of rishi. but do we honestly think that keir starmer would be any better? i mean , after all the better? i mean, after all the elephant in the room here is massive inflation , almost massive inflation, almost 3 trillion of national debt. is this a bad situation? no matter who's in control? joseph i think is worse. we're celebrating show actually praise the honest . you actually praise the honest. you know, i'm no avid fan of the tory party in its current form, but i have to say that some would be even worse. you've to look at their priorities . look at their priorities. they're very much driven by the work agenda that they've always been part of. they would be looking to push even more towards net zero policy, which i think is crippling the economy. they would be looking to bring in reforms to the house of
9:06 am
lords, which is probably not the biggest priority and the distraction away from the real issues. and are they going to be tougher on immigration? i mean , tougher on immigration? i mean, it looks it would be even it looks like it would be even worse we have to worse the star. so we have to think about being careful. what we wish for here. but the reality is that the conservative government have been operating to the left for years now. so it's not like it's something totally new. it's just a different version of the same old model . yeah, but some people old model. yeah, but some people would argue that it can it really serious. it can be worse. surely nobody can do a worse job than the current one. the situation we're in. i mean, there's a message here from fred who what happened to the who says, what happened to the many we're saving many billions that we're saving by into the european by not paying into the european coffers? people coffers? brexit, people are looking handling of looking at the handling of brexit the conservative party brexit by the conservative party as well and a lot of people think even the labour party can do better than the conservatives under environment . yeah, i under this environment. yeah, i mean these days, years of problems, these aren't something that's happened in the past three premierships. this isn't something that's happened even
9:07 am
in the last two or three conservative governments. this is something that's been happening since cameron and this is been is something that's been happening we've to happening since i we've got to go all way back to the go all the way back to the recent the problem note recent the problem that note that on the desk for that was left on the desk for the chancellor saying we've got no money left. i mean, that was from years. so we're from the blair years. so we're looking at some badly managed decline. that's the best way to describe it. i think we're looking at a situation now where people consuming crisis people are consuming crisis mode. you know , the new pm mode. you know, the new pm incoming is always having to deal with issues rather than look towards positives and they aren't cut out for the job. the reality is there's strong reality is there's no strong leadership with caused by a fiscal class that just doesn't know what doing . okay, know what it's doing. okay, joseph. so mean we're being quite harsh on rishi and the conservatives here. they all losing support at record levels . but what could be a potential way back? he talks about getting tough on immigration. they're trying that . he talks trying to do that. he talks about green they about the green agenda. they seem to that battleship chain . seem to that battleship chain. but what the current but what about the current situation around strikes? we
9:08 am
find ourselves in? surely if rishi got on a battle footing and took it to the unions that would chime well with the public or certainly with tory voters . or certainly with tory voters. absolutely look, you know, no one's enjoyed having christmas disrupted do something about the railways do something about postal service . you've got to postal service. you've got to stop. i don't think public opinion would look favourably on rishi, you know, being heavy handed with the nhs for having cost out hundreds of thousands of workers over enforced german rights. but i think he can certainly look at doing something with the rail strikes and the post office strikes. i mean, go out and talk to them first. stop the public in your engagement with it i one of the issues for truss's government was the lack of public engagement that was just no real commons going on and i think rishi could get of that. he is slick, he is slippery , he could slick, he is slippery, he could do something if wants to be do something if he wants to be vocal these issues. but vocal about these issues. but yet realistically immigration get realistic on the energy
9:09 am
crisis, start promising the people that we're going to find new energy sources to invest in our infrastructure and ports. the railways, the biggest but just do something what do you wish they would say? well, joseph, i've got a message from and he says, where is rishi the squatter in number 10? he's not telling us what's happening in the country ben wallace is. he's not delivering christmas message to the uk. boris has sunak is so busy appointing his chance to top jobs and asking homes people if they're in business. wake up, get rid of him and hunt as britain is finished, people are saying, bring back boris boris. oh is not so think rishi is probably a pretty record a message somewhere to wish the ukrainian people well through their energy crisis which is no doubt serious. their energy crisis which is no doubt serious . but unfortunately doubt serious. but unfortunately he's not pre—recording any messages for the british public, which is the people who gave him or didn't give him, but whole left with no choice but to have him as their leader. left with no choice but to have him as their leader . and i think him as their leader. and i think the problem with rishi is that
9:10 am
operates things like a business, you know, he thinks he can be in a somewhere quietly a boardroom somewhere quietly bossing things down. bossing, passing things down. for latest to his board of for the latest to his board of directors. he's not a goldman sachs anymore . he's running the sachs anymore. he's running the country . and he needs to realise country. and he needs to realise that the british have to see people's engaged and like them . people's engaged and like them. and i think one of his problems is that the more we see of him, less we like him like joseph robinson , director of orthodox robinson, director of orthodox conservatives , thank you for conservatives, thank you for yourinput conservatives, thank you for your input this morning as it's my last of the year, let's wish you a happy and prosperous 2023. thank very much. thank you. thank you very much. let's up to date with let's bring you up to date with the rest of today's top stories. and brazil's government has declared three days of mourning for football legend who sadly died at the age of 82. once named by fifa as the greatest player of the century, the three time world cup winner died in hospital in sao paolo, where he been since the end of the month, undergoing treatment for colon cancen undergoing treatment for colon cancer. a renowned cancer. christiane a renowned called an inspiration for called pele, an inspiration for many millions more sad news.

9:12 am
comment, but his lawyer confirmed that they been confirmed that they had been detained . so this year we've detained. so this year we've seen sorts of weather conditions from snow, blizzards , from snow, blizzards, temperatures and extremely dry conditions. and even this morning, i weather warnings have been issued across scotland with an amber weather warning for rain in parts dumfries and rain in parts of dumfries and galloway with 2023 around the corner of the met office annual global temperatures are forecast for next year suggests that be one of the earth's hottest years one of the earth's hottest years on record. and national reporter theo trachoma has been taking a look at some the weather look back at some the weather highlights this year and here's a taste what we could see in a taste of what we could see in 2023. it's been an exceptional year weather across the uk year of weather across the uk which saw dry spells that hadn't been seen since the droughts of 1976. but there were some parts of england which were affected by flooding like in yorkshire and gloucester . fast forward to
9:13 am
and gloucester. fast forward to spnng and gloucester. fast forward to spring weather began to change. many people making the most of it . then came the peak of summer it. then came the peak of summer which saw new record highs in wales and scotland and reaching 40 degrees celsius in england , 40 degrees celsius in england, prompting warnings from leaders in london were particularly concerned. but just because of the urban heat effect being in a global city, but also because we know many families will struggle in this summer keeping their kids cool so things like they will not be able to fill up their paddling pool, they will not be able to have regular dunng not be able to have regular during the course of the day to call themselves done with. as temperatures are north of degrees because the degrees because of the consequences climate change. consequences of climate change. i shown i think londoners have shown we can responsible in relation can be responsible in relation to pandemic, but this is to the pandemic, but this is a further sacrifice and london got to make as temperatures soared. wildfires like this one in pembroke shared were seen and temporary hosepipe bans were introduced to control how much water people could use as reservoir levels declined . as reservoir levels declined. as summer ended, the climate changed. bitterly cold winds
9:14 am
arrived from the arctic , which arrived from the arctic, which resulted in snow falling in all corners of the uk . meanwhile, corners of the uk. meanwhile, there could be more adverse weather on the way from the where cyclones battered parts of nonh where cyclones battered parts of north america , causing 59 deaths north america, causing 59 deaths and travel disruption . now we're and travel disruption. now we're waiting to get a hotel. i don't know when i'm going to go home, i don't know how i'm going to get home. my daughter is at home waiting for me. my cat, my father is sick. my husband has a sleep apnoea. this our fourth day waiting to get . we're day waiting to get. we're sending back home into canada . sending back home into canada. they've been taking us to the airport every day we've been sitting in the airport for 12 hours and sending us all with no flights. we keep getting delayed, then cancelled and they're not booking a hotel room. and by the time we get hotel room, it's one in the morning and we have to get back up at six in the morning to come back to airport to try and get on a flight to get home with 2023 around the corner . could we 2023 around the corner. could we see a similar picture as we've
9:15 am
seen this year? the big concerns about droughts, again, although we've had a lot of rain in recent months, we a lot more if we're going to stop concerns about drought rising because some while still having some risk while still having recovered from the very dry early months of 2022. so as we head into the summer of 2023, there will be concerns about droughts. and of course the possibility of further unbearable heat because the message is from the climate scientists that someone's going to get hotter and drier in the years to come . as the new year years to come. as the new year approaches will be hoping the weather doesn't dampen their new year's celebration plans ahead of what could be another year of record highs and lows. theo chikomba . gb news. well joining chikomba. gb news. well joining us now is weather expert morris. phil, welcome to this week because i mean, i love the hot weather. i'm not sad that it's getting warmer really pleased about this . cold kills more about this. cold kills more people than heat. but should we
9:16 am
be worried ? well, global be worried? well, global temperatures are rising all of the time. and the earth's warm is years. we've all been in the last ten or 15 years. global temps continue to rise. you break 40 degrees in england and, wales in the summer and all around the world continuing to break temperatures . even in break temperatures. even in december, a few a couple of weeks ago in france, we had record temperatures there at 25 degrees all the southern hemisphere of all the breaking these temperatures during their summer . so, these temperatures during their summer. so, yes, global warming is continuing and they're expecting the pattern of how we live and then our country and in every country , it's something we every country, it's something we should be concerned about as we have to adapt to it. phil, i wonder if, if, if true, i'll put it to you, for example , the it to you, for example, the climate has always change, in fact, a thousand years ago, as warmer than it is now . but we do warmer than it is now. but we do seem quite addicted . the weather seem quite addicted. the weather being a catalyst , stuffy human being a catalyst, stuffy human engineer , witty can get us
9:17 am
engineer, witty can get us through this . well, you're through this. well, you're right. the club has changed in the long term. in the longer term, we have these weather cycles where they actually the globe tells a different over 100,000 year cycles and so our climate has changed long the longer period of time . but this longer period of time. but this climate is changing so fast, we're getting temperatures rising. so quickly. and when people have not got time or animals infrastructure to adapt to that changing temperature which is happening so fast across the world climate as you say, has changed millions of years, thousands of years . we've years, thousands of years. we've been both really hot and really cold, but nothing's quite so quick as what we are developing now . so we are quick as what we are developing now. so we are going to have to use our to actually adapt to this as fast as we can. but it is a position we've never been in before and it's going to cause untold difficulties planning infrastructure and how we live our lives and as you say, i mean, look, climate has
9:18 am
been changing all this time. and this is the first time, as we know, that, like, we can't even predict the weather. i mean, the bomb cyclone, did we predict that when what gives us that when what makes gives us the to be able the confidence to be able to protect changing climate? protect the changing climate? and about the feedback of and what about the feedback of the planet itself? is it actually something that can actually something that we can genuinely predict what our forecasting is getting better now? a five day forecast will have an 80% accuracy, a seven day, four cas is a 40 to 50. see the forecasting? yes, our forecasts is getting better, but we're looking a numbers of the climate since the year 2000. st so the earth is warm so much and they continues to warm across all parts the world and yes if will have to change we'll use our ingenuity to make things change. you got to get the global warming and the gases down to try and keep this in control because. it is something, but at the moment it's going to have an increasingly difficult effect, particularly in parts the world where living at the moment is really on the edge of policies .
9:19 am
really on the edge of policies. central africa and australia where it continues to heat up . where it continues to heat up. and we could even get migrations of population moving north out these areas if the heat continue used to build and really changing the world map in terms of where people can live if the more global warming predicts is true of three or four degrees of warming at the moment, we're on 1.5 degrees of warming. so and is already already having quite effects but any more warming could have catastrophic effects on how we live our lives and the time that we've got to adapt to them is so small. and that's the big thing we have. as you say, the millions of years. yes, the climate has changed nothing so quickly as is at the moment a film right. thank you for joining us from loughborough just down the road from where i'm from in nottingham. now, i've got to now that i am i've got to say now that i am old enough to remember they were predicting be another ice predicting that be another ice age. remember coral age. well i remember the coral reefs supposed to peak reefs they were supposed to peak on. come up and on. they've come back up and they, i it's but i'm also
9:20 am
they, i mean it's but i'm also team humanity. think we can team humanity. i think we can and way out any and build our way out of any issue because we're great. well i too. and also i think that too. and also i think that in my view, sometimes i don't know whether the earth is like living, breathing is like a living, breathing thing, necessarily thing, we can't necessarily predict next, predict what it's going do next, but really weather but they can't really weather a week ahead. so let me century anyway. let's yeah anyway. let's move on. yeah well, because with well, stay with us because with financial markets closing for new today, we're breaking new year's today, we're breaking down the country will be down whether the country will be to recover economically in 2023. hello there i'm planners with your morning update rain in force across northern ireland , force across northern ireland, central and southern parts of scotland . a focus amber warning scotland. a focus amber warning for some really heavy rain across the far south of scotland through the next few hours as snow and ice warning also for the far north of scotland. so multiple out there. rain multiple hazards out there. rain also england also covering much of england and wales gales along the coasts gales across the north channel. yes it is a very unsettled to the day. so this wet and windy weather shifts very quickly eastwards, taking the worst. the weather with it. still a
9:21 am
blustery afternoon and gales remain across shetland as well as orkney, with some outbreaks of rain and a return to showers across western scotland as well as northern ireland. snow particularly across the northwest highlands, england and wales, drier spell of weather wales, a drier spell of weather as temperatures rise to around 12 or 13. the air is in from a mild direction, but it's not reaching scotland or northern ireland now through evening. those showers across the north, of course , far north will see of course, far north will see a northerly winds again. the winds will be strong here . and then will be strong here. and then into the early of new year's eve, separate bursts of rain arrive from the southwest. so a wet start to the last day of 2022. also a blustery and through the day, lots of cloud , through the day, lots of cloud, showery bursts of rain just continue to feed in on that strong wind showers across the western periphery of the country, northern ireland, western scotland . temperatures western scotland. temperatures will struggle wherever you are always a lot of clouds and wettest weather. always, of course, england and although persistent across caithness and
9:22 am
above 200 metres will see that snow, sleet and so at lower levels . so yes, it is snow, sleet and so at lower levels. so yes, it is an unsettled start as we enter 2023 and through new year's day some wet conditions around across more southern areas . the north more southern areas. the north seeing a clearance of that rain and on monday some of drier weather will turn colder across many parts . weather will turn colder across many parts. i'll see you later. bye bye .
9:23 am
9:24 am
welcome back. you're watching analysts to breakfast with nana akua and myself , analysts to breakfast with nana akua and myself, martin analysts to breakfast with nana akua and myself , martin daubney. akua and myself, martin daubney. well, with the uk financial markets closing early for new year's. today we reflect on a turbulent economic year. what to expect in 2023. it seems like a stellar 2021. us markets have been outperformed by the uk's
9:25 am
counterparts. experts predict that the footsie will offer good, long term returns to investors and traders next year to. discuss this further. we're now joined paddy osborne, a managing director and academic dean at the london academy of trading . there's been a bit of trading. there's been a bit of a rollercoaster year and now the session, it looks like we're going into that. what does this mean for monique atomic perspective . well, yeah , it's perspective. well, yeah, it's been a pretty, pretty rollercoaster year, as you mentioned there. the uk markets have actually performed a lot better than the us markets. but then obviously 2021 was that was a huge for the us you know, we've got the nasdaq currently down 3% on the year and the footsie is actually up just by 1. but up on the year from from this time last year. so, you know, the uk markets have done okay. i think one of the reasons for that is that those are fairly, fairly well weighted in things like commodity shell, bp, glencore up 50% this year. so
9:26 am
that's obviously done a good job in the index up in terms of next year. in the index up in terms of next year . it's tricky. i think it's year. it's tricky. i think it's going to be similarly volatile certainly for the first half of the year. and i think personally, i think we've seen we've seen a rise in energy related stocks. we've seen banking stocks doing okay towards the end of the year. we've had a big ten, 15% up towards the of the year. so through november end of october. and we've not seen the santa rally that we would normally. so nobody december december's quite positive and it's not really been that this year so i think going into next year to be going into next year going to be quite tough think markets quite tough. i think the markets will struggle a bit for the first quarter, maybe first few months , maybe stabilise over the months, maybe stabilise over the summer. but i think towards the end yean summer. but i think towards the end year, things are end of the year, things are going to start to improve. there will be a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel as good paddy twang of paddy to have a twang of optimism, least in these optimism, at least in these times ahead. not all ask you times ahead. not all i ask you about. so was a
9:27 am
about. so i was out with a friend who works in the mining in and he was saying in australia and he was saying to mining you mentioned to me that mining you mentioned mining as a good stock and interestingly tesla stocks , elon interestingly tesla stocks, elon musk's company is 40% down in this last month. that could be he spen t £40 this last month. that could be he spent £40 billion on twitter . but i wonder in terms of the energy, if there is a little bit of value in perhaps some fashionable things like coal . fashionable things like coal. oh, well, i think i think the key here is it's already been discounted somewhat. so, yes, the could be some potential these companies to do okay. but this the share price to some extent has already discounted any potential rises. so in terms of, you know, stock , i wouldn't of, you know, stock, i wouldn't say it's a bad option for sure , say it's a bad option for sure, but i think most of the move maybe has already been done. but as i say, it's probably better than better than most. but it's not really stellar. i don't believe that in the first half. so other markets now happy that
9:28 am
they've got rishi sunak at the helm because things seem to have calmed down at the they're certainly happier than they were which is just the health that was that was quite a disaster. i think. i think the thought behind the stimulator package that was given was was great, but the timing was wrong. and i think what the markets is, is a bit of boring stability and i think they want to be seen to be. so the government needs to be. so the government needs to be seen to be fiscally prudent and not borrowing too much , if and not borrowing too much, if they can help it in a trusting of cost cutting . we're literally of cost cutting. we're literally just just into the magic monetary and borrowing billions, billions , which is the wrong billions, which is the wrong time to do that. so i the markets definitely have settled off the back to where she said can wait and i mean as i say there a very nice rally for mid—october through to the end of november which i think reflected the positive and reflected the positive view. and i think he's going to continue to be prudent. there's going to
9:29 am
be obviously battle for wage rises for a lot of people in the country and some agreement will come. but you know, i don't know , going to end up somewhere between what they're asking, what they're offering. so but i think he's going to try to a lid on that. i think he's very conscious that if he if he offers double digit pay rises then it's going to it's going to fuel inflation again, which i think personally just peaked think personally has just peaked in but osborne, thank in october. but osborne, thank you for your input. and i think that's sound advice there. you know, go loads of money know, don't go loads of money around in pay rises at a time when the markets already when the markets are already saturated inflation. well, saturated with inflation. well, stay having look stay us. we'll be having a look at news on at all the latest news on today's pages right this today's front pages right this quick .

independence nhs leaders warned the health service is not equipped to tackle the so—called parallel pandemic of mental health, exacerbated by lockdown and the cost living crisis. why it's so time to go through the papers now joining us this morning is political editor of the sunday mirror and sunday people, nigel nelson. well, same broadcast . liz kershaw . so who's broadcast. liz kershaw. so who's first and what have we got? just we start. let's go to liz. let's do this let's save our streets is in the. what's that all about ? well, in my day, you went through disco and the worst thing could happen to you was maybe had a couple too many gins on or bianco. so you had a long queue for a taxi, but some stories this week of people going out for an innocent night out. i'm never going home again. if terrified me . there are two if terrified me. there are two in particular. one is about a lot on christmas eve , it went to lot on christmas eve, it went to a nightclub in birmingham , was a nightclub in birmingham, was stabbed to death on the dance floor . terrible time for the
9:34 am
floor. terrible time for the club. protested that . they have club. protested that. they have opposed style security again is scanned for metal objects such as knives, all sorts of checks and security guards inside. oh, what of atmosphere is that to go party. and then this girl outside pub dozed off in wallasey. yep so really, really stuff. my real was about the coverage of this and i've said this before . i've watched the this before. i've watched the television news headlines and stories and the girls and the girl in wallasey the coverage of her death has been far more prominent and there's been far higher up the news agenda than this lot in birmingham . and it's this lot in birmingham. and it's the same in the papers today where she might be on page two, it might be on page, and i think it's partly i mean, she's very attractive. it's exactly that. you think that's what it is? exactly that. but a life isn't worth , you know, as a as a
9:35 am
worth, you know, as a as a blonde myself, you i don't see why it's the same with all of the murders of blonde lovelace . the murders of blonde lovelace. and of course, she's tragedy. it'5 and of course, she's tragedy. it's heartbreaking. but if i was the parents of this lad. yeah, it was 23 and a semi much amateur football. i wouldn't say his life has been a blessing . his life has been a blessing. it'5 his life has been a blessing. it's the same thing again i think. i think that i mean that both of them have had a lot of coverage. i don't think been skewed particularly one way or the other. i mean, a lot of it has to do with what the story is. i mean, that that she was shot by complete accident as far as we can gather, there was no connection with anything. so thatis connection with anything. so that is in itself, you know , that is in itself, you know, lifts the story . i was i also lifts the story. i was i also think one was a gun crime, one's knife and gun crime, mercifully still rare in britain, at least for now then i've got nigel moving on to your first choice of story in the times we have
9:36 am
the further ongoing all around transgender sport. that's right. yes mean without trying to open the entire transgender debate always gets you into trouble the boxing council may have come up with an answer which is which is causing problems about how trans people slot into sport . people slot into sport. basically whether someone born a man can join it in women's sport, they shouldn't be allowed to do it. boy well, the world boxing council actually agrees with you, with you on this. and what they're saying is that there should be a separate category fighters , and category. trans fighters, and those trans fighters would be only a someone born. a man would able to fight against somebody else who was born a man. you didn't mix the two things up, but you have a separate area that they wouldn't against non trans fighters . others have trans fighters. others have their own league their own told them but it's not a good idea. well it's an obvious idea. i
9:37 am
mean, i don't know why i haven't thought of that. i said at the beginning mean it sounds well did you remove the weight lifting not ago. you're a lifting not long ago. you're a bloke bit rubbish at bloke you're a bit rubbish at weight lifting so you identify as a woman and suddenly the world champion medal world champion gold medal winning . i don't want to want to winning. i don't want to want to point one of the one of point out that one of the one of the heroines of this topic is sharon, former olympic sharon, the former olympic champion. but who's bidding sharon, the former olympic chamon n. but who's bidding sharon, the former olympic chamon this jt who's bidding sharon, the former olympic chamon this cause's bidding right on this cause all the yean right on this cause all the year. and somebody like year. and for somebody like gary, of the year , gary, final pop of the year, lineker, who has opinion about every thing politically, he's been silent been very, very silent transgender ism in sport. been very, very silent transgender ism in sport . let's transgender ism in sport. let's not go. i've got to move onto this one because it's prince harry and his discount book, spare joe, i said spare us the detail is i mean these books already sale . well it is already on sale. well it is there must a lot going spare there must be a lot going spare i it in the third second i saw it in the third second week of december and w it's missing can it was reduced to half price before it was even physically available and the stores reporting w.h. smith are now selling not for the cover price of £28, bu t £14 is for
9:38 am
price of £28, but £14 is for universal . so these are universal. so these are pre—orders , aren't they, for pre—orders, aren't they, for i don't know if it's deliberate of a price into then people think they're getting a bargain or whether the demand is just not high enough. but look, there is , i mean, if it's a double price and it already is the ultimate put down. anita atkinson sex . put down. anita atkinson sex. sex, who owns the world's largest hall of royal memorabilia , said, it's not on memorabilia, said, it's not on my christmas list. yeah, it's not my neither . my christmas list. yeah, it's not my neither. i'd my christmas list. yeah, it's not my neither . i'd rather saw not my neither. i'd rather saw one of my own legs, but that's just me. you watched the six part thing, the netflix haven't watched anybody. i know . i watched anybody. i know. i refuse to. i watched the first couple and that i've had enough so i stopped after that yeah yeah too much whining i don't sleep and most of it. let's move on. nigel a story in the express about perfectionists. yeah unionists face burnout . why is unionists face burnout. why is that? this is because . because
9:39 am
that? this is because. because they're perfectionists because they're perfectionists because they're because that they that they're because that they that they're so pernickety about staff that they're terribly reliable. they work very . this reliable. they work very. this is kind of a lesson to bosses . is kind of a lesson to bosses. and so everyone wants the kind of perfection this work. but the trouble is that they so much about it can never meet the unrealistic targets they set for themselves. and as a result, they then from burnout. so actually employing a perfectionist work is not necessarily a terribly good idea from the boss's of view. and this is research from university of south wales in australia . of south wales in australia. yeah. and it says that the other things that happen is they tend to get angry with colleagues and irritated that personal lives go to pot . so the answer is, you to pot. so the answer is, you know , workers who may not be know, workers who may not be quite on the ball are perhaps better of affection this time. all right, lizzie, thanks . carla all right, lizzie, thanks. carla knox that show me bra style . so
9:40 am
knox that show me bra style. so to just myself myself , that to just myself myself, that wouldn't be right. let's move to on one about army control. it's in the moment. yeah. there were scares quite justified that if you were trying to go on holiday today be scuppered by the lack of border control officers and more worse , if you were trying more worse, if you were trying to come in to the control back into the country. but the was sent in and passengers have been reporting that it's marvellous . reporting that it's marvellous. there are there are no queues, it's so efficient and that's really setting wind to the sales of the border force union. but there was also a cry from the public. why should these guys squaddies on 21,000 a year but in the job of somebody on 32,000 a year and giving up the holidays to do it. so while they're now being given holidays to do it. so while they're now being give n £20 they're now being given £20 a day, these lads in corners won't
9:41 am
just go, i'm but my thoughts on this thing is why does the army work? and do public sector , work? and do public sector, other public sector unions, not the army guards, do the dues, the army guards, do the dues, the toll the treated you know with respect but given the instructions and that they've signed up to carry them out. so what i'm thinking is i don't want to bring back national service. i think. but why? no, because that's starters that's forced . why don't we start forced. why don't we start a kind of public service force? yeah, people can sign up, i think a decent wage and they can they can fill in on and things that the public interest and simon coulter who of course is the travel guru. yeah he came into gb news this week he said that the border strike has been the least effective strike of all time because squaddies who stepped in weren't so effective. nigel, we've got one final story before your epic full rant marathon this morning and we
9:42 am
learned finally in the telegraph was your natural home papers as as labour spies must do better yes and this is from sir jeremy fleming who is the chief of gc hq. what are you saying is that the only way of countering fake news is if spies weren't so secretive? so in fact, the intelligence agencies have been great over ukraine. they've been telling us what's been going on this. we know what vladimir putin was doing. it wasn't a defensive operation . the problem defensive operation. the problem with the intelligence agencies is often confuse is they often confuse operational secrecy, which they need to have with culture of secrecy because they think they just have to be secret. the more they can be, the more the public will engage with keeping an eye out for terrorist attacks . so out for terrorist attacks. so you look great. well, i think that concludes our morning's news review , lesley, got a quick news review, lesley, got a quick little chuckle thing on the incident. so they all just said i said to the commission, what's yourjob? i said to the commission, what's your job? and he i said to the commission, what's yourjob? and he goes, mother, i could tell you. but then i'd
9:43 am

9:47 am
colourful players in there as well. there was the two iconic moments from that match. the bank i think got bank side, which i think we got to touch on later on. and as you say, that moment with say, that moment there with bobby the tackle, bobby moore, the tackle, remember by two by remember the tackle by two by moore on but costa man's moore on on pele but costa man's or a man's back necessarily or not a man's back necessarily but costa clock back 20 years before brazil are almost in mourning they've mourning because they've lost the against the home world cup against uruguay at home uruguay pele is sitting at home ten old, says to his dad, ten years old, says to his dad, who's that was also a who's crying. that was also a very accomplished as very accomplished footballer as well he well played locally. and he said, worry, dad, i'll win said, don't worry, dad, i'll win the cup you eight years the world cup you eight years later as an 18 year old in sweden they the final and sweden, they go to the final and beat swede beat the host sweden five win their first five two to win their first world the first of five. world cup, the first of five. and to start brazil and that was to start brazil really most really becoming the most celebrated nation celebrated football nation on earth. prior though earth. and prior to pele, though , they didn't have much , they didn't really have much of football pedigree. it of a football pedigree. it wasn't the wasn't widely played in the country. really he country. it really did. he really argue that he really you could argue that he put on the map. and put brazil on the map. and that's not just any football nation, the greatest nation, probably the greatest football world football nation in the world in terms their achievements. he terms of their achievements. he probably the map. probably put brazil the map. that's hell of a that that's a hell of a thing that now you mention that that save
9:48 am
that that that golden banks that that iconic had to which somehow banksy cut and i think we banksy cut out and i think we are now by england are joined now by england goalkeeping legend mention goalkeeping legend and i mention nottingham every day this nottingham forest every day this week forest fan week shows on the forest fan will not go for the best of times. it's an immense pleasure to you on. i'm a complete to have you on. i'm a complete not a fan of yours. so from your perspective, dave, just give us kind of roundabout overview , the kind of roundabout overview, the sort of legend that pele was well, he was the greatest, but well, he was the greatest, but we have to all i think and you know he have a weakness. he was good at everything you know, he was a fantastic player , a great was a fantastic player, a great moment when i was 18 because i was on the bench when the england pie , then rio de janeiro england pie, then rio de janeiro in, the maracana stadium, turned the tables people and he played and you know, to see him in the flesh close up was was unbelievable and it was a great great feeling and i do remember
9:49 am
personally, you know, when i was playing for the football league and the rest of the world at wembley in 8 to 7, and he was the, the guest on the day and he introduced to the teams and when he came to me for some reason he grabbed me and put his arm around me, gave me the biggest hug and that's the person you know, he's a really friendly man . there's well, a gentleman which i think, you know, he had the full package, everything the full package, had everything . peter, it's aiden here in the studio . good to hear from you. studio. good to hear from you. what did he do in terms of his ambassador royal role for football? because career football? because his career finished in the early 1970s as he played in america later on. but that, he toured around but after that, he toured around the world and did his bid for the world and did his bid for the game in general, didn't he? yeah he actually was a gentleman and wherever he went, he left the big impression, you know , i the big impression, you know, i mean , just adored him, you know mean, just adored him, you know , as i say, never had to wait, really. and you know, to win three world cups was was, you know, incredible bowl and he
9:50 am
played big part in all of them. and we will remember 1970, you know , obviously you've mentioned know, obviously you've mentioned beaten england one nil and gordon saved but you know in the final that i think they beat italy wasn't it five and pele scored with a fantastic at but he going round the world just he was just a great ambassador for that for the game at that time . that for the game at that time. and as i say you the fans adored him because he was he was a gentleman and pizza that game was so powerful that world cup final my mum was in labour with me and my dad stayed downstairs in the front room watching that match rather than come up. so i'm still scarred to this day on that point , i want to talk to that point, i want to talk to you about this this amazing image. you know, the image of pele embracing bobby moore champions. england just been knocked out of the world cup in 71 on the way, of course, brazil lifting that trophy that says
9:51 am
much, doesn't it, about pele, the man. that's the kind of great the sort of favre the sort of brotherly love that we so often don't see in the game these days . yeah. two fantastic these days. yeah. two fantastic gentlemen . and i mean, i played gentlemen. and i mean, i played with bobby , you know, when with bobby, you know, when i first started england career , first started england career, and bobby was just fantastic , and bobby was just fantastic, you know? yeah. that all about him. he was nothing real for them and he was a gentleman , you them and he was a gentleman, you know, they both got together that match. i think england lost one nil, but they, they actually went out the world cup . i think went out the world cup. i think when they did, they lost to germany, didn't i, in that in that game when we were two nil. but it was it was a moment you quite right the lives with most football forever they were both great ambassadors for the game pizza what would you say about his humility because he wasn't one to talk about his own achievements very often if he was asked who the greatest player in the world was, he'd mention almost anyone except himself . well, that's.
9:52 am
himself. yeah, well, that's. that's. that's what great people do, you know, they you know, he did he did his on the pension and that's that's what you should do, you know, should you should do, you know, should you should let georgia and whatever you do on the pitch , you know, you do on the pitch, you know, that's what you're judged by and you know he didn't it talk himself up it was just a it was just for the most you know for football, wherever he went you know, people loved him you know, he showed great dignity and humility and. it was just a one off. it was just absolutely an icon of football . mean, i you icon of football. mean, i you know, i think i think maradona for me , was behind him just for me, was behind him just beyond in terms of ability. i thought pele was superb in the as well as every other aspect and i just think that he, you know, was the greatest of all time. and probably will be for many forever. i think you
9:53 am
mentioned the bobby moore and pele went on become great friends after epic encounter in 9070 and of course pele says that that mauro was greatest defender. he played against. but as we've got you on, we have to talk about save how on earth did banksy keep it out? and i think to pele's final moments he won't understand that ball didn't go in the back of the net. no, no. i don't think gordon actually knew how he kept out. but i've got a story. i always tell is when i was a kid, age ten, i used to when school holidays , i used to when school holidays, i used to when school holidays, i used to when school holidays, i used to go to the leicester training ground because it was gordon was leicester's goalkeeper and he used to go back to june 1st afternoons for extra training and that was unheard of in those days and he'd get a few of the players to shoot , to see him or what have shoot, to see him or what have you. and he used to try for every shot, even if it going to
9:54 am
be yard wide, it still died of work himself and i'd never work for every shot and i just think he never gave up on that it, just went across the goal and all those hours of training paid on them on site which to fair you know elevated gordon you know into world status and you he was a fantastic goalkeeper anyway to make you save like that against the world's greatest ever player was just was just unbelievable and it was a pity we ended up losing the game one nil but you know that's life as you say, remains forever . and most goalkeepers you they get remembered for mistakes . but get remembered for mistakes. but it's nice when you know, we get remembered for certain saves in career and it's a feature not know haven't spoken yet but i think we'll get one. and how will you him . and pele just you will you him. and pele just you know that moment i was talking aboutin know that moment i was talking about in rio, you know, i mean, before the game started , there
9:55 am
before the game started, there must have been 50 press and tv around the players. that's was allowed in those days. he was just too in those days, he was just too in those days, he was just superstar. and to me , it just superstar. and to me, it was just it was just growing up. he was he the man i remember? i mean, his first world cup final in sweden when i think i was about nine than anything, it was 17. and he scored. he scored two goals and from that moment on you know he was just he was just a hero really. and i think for most football fans they need a player. fantastic ability. the greatest player of all time. for me but is humility and the way he conducts himself for football was was out of this world and that's i'll remember him anyway for peace between two and thank you very much for that and i'm just going to quote you say that with the earliest and the finest memory of my life was when i was eight years old on terraces at the city when forest the city ground when forest
