individual parents for doing that. i don't think it's that. i just don't think it's right that private schools enjoy business relief and business rates relief and i don't think it can justified don't think it can be justified that that they enjoy that vat reliefs that they enjoy and the tax breaks that they see. this to me is about making sure that we are raising to , sure that we are raising to, money invest our state money invest in our state schools . the foreign secretary schools. the foreign secretary says the post—brexit trading issues that undermine northern ireland's place in the uk be addressed. james cleverly will meet with the northern ireland's party leaders in belfast today to discuss the impact of the northern ireland protocol. mr. cleverly . along with the cleverly. along with the northern ireland secretary , northern ireland secretary, chris heaton will also speak about the stalemate within stormont . broadcaster and stormont. broadcaster and journalist o'malley told gb news he's doubtful that today's talks will amount to much. i suspect that the british government and the european will engage in some are using some of the mechanisms used during the making of the good friday agreement . good friday agreement. constructive ambiguity , a bit of

managers are already warning that patient care will be far worse during this industrial action after the government failed to complete a national deal for emergency cover, a west midlands reporter will hollis has the story . midlands reporter will hollis has the story. it's a sound that will comfort some and concern others. but today no matter the feeling, fewer sirens will be heard on the road for the time in less than a month , thousands in less than a month, thousands of ambulance workers in wales and england are on strike despite crisis talks between the department for health and union leaders. unison and gmb on monday. the walkout couldn't be stopped, but the heart of the dispute pay while visiting a hospital in london yesterday the health secretary spoke of how it wouldn't be appropriate to return to last year's pay review but didn't rule out backdating pay but didn't rule out backdating pay in the next. the key focus of the meeting was to look at next year's pay review body and the evidence that we submit to

that we want to work constructively with the unions in terms of the evidence that is submitted there. but of course, as part of that meeting , we also as part of that meeting, we also listened to the trade unions in terms their concerns . only terms of their concerns. only the serious of emergencies, the most serious of emergencies, including cardiac arrests, will be responded to today. individual ambulance trusts have agreed a basic level of service with unions, but the government has criticised leaders for not setting a national standard . now setting a national standard. now new legislation has been introduced in parliament by the business secretary aimed at securing a minimum level of safety, a lack of timely co—operation from the unions. momentum players could not reach agreement. national lead for minimum safety levels during recent strikes and health officials were left guessing at the likely minimum coverage . the likely minimum coverage. making contingency planning almost impossible and putting everyone's constituents lives at risk. in a response , unison risk. in a response, unison general secretary christine

magnier said ministers be putting all of their energies solving the nhs disputes , not solving the nhs disputes, not worsening relations with health workers. unions want to work the government to secure a pay deal which attacking workers makes that much harder. despite the industrial action, health bosses are encouraging you to call 99940. emergencies if you have a life threatening illness, you must ring 999. your call will be answered by an call handler. they will assess you. and if you need an emergency ambulance, you will receive an emergency ambulance with little hope of a deal to end the action now. more ambulance strikes are planned for within the fortnight . will for within the fortnight. will hollis for . for within the fortnight. will hollis for. gb news. thank you. will i think willis going hollis for. gb news. thank you. will i think will is going to join me now . oh, you know, will join me now. oh, you know, will hollis , i believe i'll east hollis, i believe i'll east midlands. there you go. hello, will. so we just heard that you report there a lot of a lot of

this is about pay , but of a of this is about pay, but of a of a strike is also talking about working conditions as well . yes, working conditions as well. yes, very . so that's what working conditions as well. yes, very. so that's what i'm hearing this morning on this picket line here in you can see behind me there is around a dozen or so ambulance workers, paramedics as well as the union members from gmb, which is the particular union that's on strike for these midlands ambulance service. of course, the big thing that you hear about with any of these strikes is pay. but really what i've been hearing from people today is that they got into this job because they want to help people and right now they can't do waiting times to do that because waiting times to get quite get into hospitals quite but also for different forms of abuse that they might get from people while they trying to help them is in particularly good when trying to do a job that's designed saving people. of course , the big the big course, the big the big information, the health bosses will want you to know is that you can still get an ambulance for category one. so for

anything like cardiac arrest, depending on where you are in the country, depending on what ambulance service serving ambulance service is serving your area, it might be patchy depending on what you need to. of course, the advice is to go to one more. one is what is on my. if you are unsure as to how you might get nothing put out. but i will say just a few moments ago , some of the people moments ago, some of the people from the picket line left the picket line. they jumped in. one of the ambulances behind me and they didn't got along road they didn't got along this road in length. the last the in length. and the last one, the people, for they did people, what that for they did say was a cardiac arrest so say it was a cardiac arrest so certainly what might see certainly what you might see people lines, they're people on picket lines, they're leaving picket to come leaving the picket lines to come out to these two most serious of emergencies today. thank emergencies today. okay. thank you. there in you. will will hollis there in lincoln. and apologies if the sound was difficult that, of course, all those horns beeping, a people driving past support of the ambulance workers . let me the ambulance workers. let me know if you are also in support of them. gb views at gb news dot uk . now another story that uk. now another story that caught my eye this morning

because i'm always on the lookout for stories which affect the motor west. it's good news for petrol, car drivers, fuel pnces for petrol, car drivers, fuel prices have fallen from extremely expensive to slightly less expensive in some areas. the average price of forecourts has fallen below the average price of forecourts has fallen belo w £1.50 a litre has fallen below £1.50 a litre for the first time since russia invaded ukraine. how it clocks is the founder of a fair fuel uk good morning howard. lovely to see you. now why have these fuel pnces see you. now why have these fuel prices finally fallen? morning, becky. nice to be on your show . becky. nice to be on your show. yeah. what's happening is the oil price has been well, it's plummeted in the last sort of two or three months. and at last they are catching up the fuel supply chain. but we're still pump prices really 10 to 15 feet higher than they should be. they're still coining in a huge amount of profit. the profiteering is actually epidemic and is worse even with diesel . why how it.

epidemic and is worse even with diesel . why how it . well, it's diesel. why how it. well, it's a long story, but our refining capacity in the uk in the last decade is come down something refineries have halved in terms of the number of them actually doing the job and therefore with demand actually, you know, with the economic demand and more use of told to drive of and we were told to drive these as you know we have to import diesel from overseas. these as you know we have to import diesel from overseas . and import diesel from overseas. and of course, the speculators who actually treat these was a commodity are actually keeping the price high to maintain profits, if not increase profits . let me give an example . . let me give an example. something like that, up until 2019, the average profit per litre petrol and diesel was around about 8 to $0.12 per litre. that's right across to oil companies , right way down to oil companies, right way down to the carriage, etcetera . but now the carriage, etcetera. but now there's something like $0.25 per litre. now why? why do they need more profit in a situation where the energy crisis is rising , the the energy crisis is rising, the cost of living crisis is crippling. so many people, including those strikers,

because, of course, diesel always considered to be the cheaper fuel. right. and that was one of the reasons why we were encouraged to have diesel cars. it seems to be a little bit more economical, perhaps in pocket. it's nobody keeping an eye on this for us. how i'd like apart from you all the all that. no politicians who are making a fuss and holding fuss about this and holding these companies to these these petrol companies to account , to be fair. so there's account, to be fair. so there's account, to be fair. so there's a lot of backbench mps , tory a lot of backbench mps, tory mps, they wrote a letter just before christmas to jeremy hunt, 30 of them led by jonathan karl in stoke on trent north mp and also supported by priti patel , also supported by priti patel, andrea leadsom and many others . andrea leadsom and many others. andrea leadsom and many others. and there's a lot more in the backbench who wrote to the jeremy hunt to ask for our vote what we've been for and i've come on your show before what you political pump watcher a pricing body we've pricing regulatory body we've got off but gas and got it for off but for gas and electricity and telephone communications we have got it for 37 million motorists and all we're asking for is a fair and transparent approach to the

pricing of fuel. if it was fair and transparent and we have pump watching it, we'd be saying pump pnces watching it, we'd be saying pump prices 10 to 15 be even lower and guess what? don't forget in the march budget, we've got that incredible 23% rise in fuel duty expected which was not trumpeted at the last autumn statement. but we all came out with it. the daylight stuff. did you see yesterday, howard, we were talking about the fact that driving an electric car , driving an electric car, surprise, surprise is now just about as expensive as driving a combustion engine car. how do you greet news like that from fair fuel? the uk ? well, we're fair fuel? the uk? well, we're not surprised and i must put my calls to i support electric vehicles but what i want to do is not folks is into driving them . yes you know in 2030 we them. yes you know in 2030 we got the petrol and diesel ban scheduled to come in place, which is not in legislation. but we're told we've got to do it. you won't be able to buy a diesel, a petrol car, a new one from 2030 onwards. and we're not ready for it. and the interesting thing is i

commissioned a report by the cbi , the centre of economic and business research, a very respected economic , the bunch of respected economic, the bunch of gurus actually worked out gurus who actually worked out that cost of the 2030 ban of that the cost of the 2030 ban of preventing us buying diesel and petrol cars will be five times more than the environmental benefit. go figure. it absolutely. any tips , howard? absolutely. any tips, howard? last question for motorists of how to shop around and get cheaper fuel, is there any way we can we can seek out the petrol pumps are selling it at a at a more reasonable rate that's what i would use that i wouldn't drive around all over the place because all you're doing is using fuel to get to these places. but i would use the very low prices .com those low petrol prices .com those sorts places and also the sorts of places and also the other thing to do is to sign up to fairfield uk .com my campaign i'm fighting like i i'm fighting like mad i don't get for this. i've been get paid for this. i've been doing for 13 years all we doing it for 13 years and all we need to do we get our watch in place because to stop the steel duty to stop duty rise and we got to stop this by. so there you go. this 2030 by. so there you go. that's they can do. that's what they can do. brilliant. thank you, howard.

other stories of the day. it's time for a.

break good morning. this is the tennis a day on gb news. now. my, my guests are here. we rushed in. i've got the very uncomfortable stool today. you two of you have my parry now , you look all right my parry now, you look all right from where i sit. so, mike paris, you all know him? journalist and regular friend of the channel and also sam lister, political editor of the daily express. nice to see you guys. right sam, let's start with front page of your newspaper this morning sunak urged to get a grip and do a deal for britain to finally end nurses strikes. what's to express saying yeah i mean we basically we want both sides to just sort this out you know essentially there's great pubuc know essentially there's great public support for the nurses

and the government's language is softening towards them. so clearly there's going to be some kind of resolution to this, but you might as well just get on with it do it quickly. with it and do it quickly. there's a two day strike next week. and we want is for week. and what we want is for both to this out both sides to sort this out ahead that two day strike, ahead of that two day strike, because it's going to because obviously it's going to because obviously it's going to be for people be very difficult for people who've operations planned who've got operations planned and kind of stuff. yeah, and what kind of stuff. yeah, had to pat cullen had a long chat to pat cullen yesterday. the general secretary had a long chat to pat cullen ye thejay. the general secretary had a long chat to pat cullen ye the royal1e general secretary had a long chat to pat cullen ye the royal college al secretary had a long chat to pat cullen ye the royal college of secretary had a long chat to pat cullen ye the royal college of nurses.y of the royal college of nurses. you great she say she you did? yes. great she say she was. i mean, she's she's a you know, she's a very formidable woman. basically woman. and she was basically saying, we've got these saying, look, if we've got these strikes week, you have to strikes next week, you have to get table today get round the table today because put in place because hospitals put in place plums, patients put in place pens. you can't pull this at the last minute. so you need to get this sorted out today, tomorrow . this got to be not a big . this has got to be not a big fan of steve barclay, you know, but i've but i think it's what i've noficedis but i think it's what i've noticed is there's been a definite change in the position the government if you notice the government and if you notice today the obviously the ambulance strikes have out ambulance strikes have gone out and going on strike. health and work going on strike. health secretary barclay he's secretary steve barclay he's been making this very clear

distinction about the measures that put in place that the nurse has put in place to sure that patients are to make sure that patients are protected strike on protected when they strike on the ambulance workers. and he's saying that they're putting lives at risks. he's a lives at risks. he's making a very clear distinction between the ambulance the nurses and the ambulance workers very workers so that they're very aware the support aware that the public support the and the nurses the nurses. yeah and the nurses also like. that's right. also will like. that's right. yeah. is taking up yeah. costing them is taking up slightly moral high ground. yeah. to the ambulance work as opposed what do you think might well the urgency to sort it out is accurate isn't it. you know l, is accurate isn't it. you know i, i spoke to some before we came there and i questioned i said, is the delivery express now softening its position on these strikes in the public sector? because it seemed to me like some peace was edging towards she's not doing enough. she's not being tough enough. right. | she's not being tough enough. right. i do understand where you're coming from. there's great public sympathy for nurses. so what you're saying is can't the two sides get together and it? but i think the and do it? but i think the element that sticks in my mind is nurse he started with 19% is the nurse he started with 19% complete. they're not really on

reasonable. they're now floating a figure behind the scenes of about 10% and all that. so i think the general public have given a lot of consideration and time to the nurses position. we do have a soft spot for nurses. absolutely right. we all want it resolved . but what i don't want resolved. but what i don't want is for that desire to trip over into giving big public sector pay into giving big public sector pay settlements, because if the nurses get it, that will be fodder for the other groups who are currently on strike. did you get a sense from pat cullen what they would agree on? she she she was very clear. she said, we haven't just given an olive branch. we've given a tray. she when she kind of when she made this kind of suggestion that they would meet halfway, so halfway between 90% and you what? you wait the and zero, you what? you wait the that was a very strong hints the government look we are willing to compromise on this 90% we are not you know the 19% is that they'd set kind of ratio they'd set this kind of ratio where factor in inflation where you factor in inflation plus it's plus basic level. so it's a flexible figure. they were willing to compromise and she said actually then

said without actually then putting proper on it and putting proper figures on it and going negotiations going into negotiations in public, this is as far public, you know, this is as far as we go. and she says it's as we can go. and she says it's as we can go. and she says it's a really big move from us to do that in public. and we've had members saying, you know, members on saying, you know, you don't any all that kind don't give any and all that kind of she's quite of stuff. she's taken quite a lot of flak personally, and so she feels, look, we've actually given big kind of that we given this big kind of that we are willing to compromise it's time to kind of put time for you guys to kind of put your the message. i'd like your being the message. i'd like to that is going to come from that is not going from 19 10, but all other from 19 to 10, but all other groups should now compromise on maybe original maybe halving their original demand. i mean? demand. you know what i mean? some the other demands of some of the other demands of a 10% workers, not of 10% rail workers, not sort of stuff for if the nurses go stuff for 11. if the nurses go for then they've they've for this, then they've they've actually way actually compromised in a way that could take to others. that they could take to others. you bet would, too , because you bet they would, too, because this pot of money, is it? no. and think there is a special and i think there is a special case made for nurses. you case to be made for nurses. you know, were out clapping on know, we were out clapping on the them during the doorsteps for them during pandemic. a terrible, pandemic. they had a terrible, terrible and were all terrible time. and we were all incredibly grateful for the work they they put their lives they did. they put their lives at risk. now, real work is at risk. now, the real work is it's a community different case. i they, it's a community different case. i know, they,

it's a community different case. i know, they they, it's a community different case. i know, they are they, it's a community different case. i know, they are refusingey, it's a community different case. i know, they are refusing to you know, they are refusing to modernise on working practises that old, very that are 100 years old, very highly they're very highly highly paid. they're very highly paid. you know, much paid. and you know, as much that's exactly. that's public sympathy. exactly. normal people on a train normal people get on a train every morning, want to get to work. then somebody goes, yeah, yeah, right. we've got to talk about i bet you delilah, about harry. i bet you delilah, they you more they thought you guys more interviews more, facts from interviews more, more facts from the book. yes. what do you make of it, mike parry ? and by the of it, mike parry? and by the way, i've got great admiration for the express because i was a news editor there for 40 and i did my first ever work experience very good . you go. so experience very good. you go. so the reason i mention that is i'm moving on to another paper now, the sun. i also work there. okay. i'm the most stinging piece i have on harry is piece i have seen on harry is from my old mate, arthur edwards. we both books . edwards. we both read books. he's photographer . he's a legendary photographer. he's a legendary photographer. he's over 80 now. i've known him in fleet street for years. he's the headline on his piece, i don't to it to the don't want to show it to the camera. that is, if want to camera. that is, if you want to say. but it it actually says camilla up lovely boy camilla stood up for lovely boy harry. does not deserve his harry. she does not deserve his revolting that the

revolting vile that is the strongest i've ever seen arthur say anything about a member of the royal family. he's remained neutral while covering them for 40 years. but he said the days when was getting into when harry was getting into trouble things wearing trouble with things like wearing swastikas that all swastikas and all that all camera camilla ever did was camera over camilla ever did was try to be nice about him. he's a lovely boy . he's just a mess on lovely boy. he's just a mess on those. he's not. he's very young and all the things outrage that he's now going round the world. so, i mean, he says he thinks out revolting things like camilla wants to leave the bodies lying in the road, you know, says what a horrible know, also says what a horrible thing to about anybody, let thing to say about anybody, let alone your own stepmother, somebody whose question i somebody whose only question i feel morning, i'm sure feel this morning, i'm not sure whether read own whether harry's read his own book. think i don't book. yeah i don't think i don't think i think because he's accusing the media spinning accusing the media of spinning this the story of him being involved in combat to taliban soldiers. now he said quite publicly this is not my fault. this is this is causing a security risk. i say this is putting my life at risk. well, you said it, harry. no, no, he

says some said it, harry saying that it was some who said, oh, you look, let it off to cover the royals. and, you know, i think with harry, it is all he talks in this kind of fluid therapy language. and he saw that accountability and transparency is always a one way street, isn't it? it's the press have to be accountable. he's found we have to be accountable. he doesn't seem to be accountable for anything. you know, he made the palace essentially about essentially lies the press about his taking . then he attacks his drug taking. then he attacks the making up stories. the press for making up stories. well, actually , you know, i have well, actually, you know, i have never made up a story my never made up a story in my life. you i think this life. so, you know, i think this is you it's one way is you know, it's a one way street. the newspaper . is there street. the newspaper. is there a now you were all a sense now that you were all going, thought yeah, we going, wow, we thought yeah, we thought we told you what harry was up to. we always knew the face of maverick harry's, but face of a maverick harry's, but we no idea that he was we had no idea that he was actually. yeah, and once he's put all out there, there is put that all out there, there is no anybody should no reason why anybody should ever know, stand back from ever you know, stand back from these things. he has set the bar for levels that for, the privacy levels that he's entitled now, and he doesn't really to realise .

i've wanted to talk to for a little while. she's going to be speaking us from america. it is. she's also the recipient of my turner prize. this is award i give to those who represent the of fighting for the of this show fighting for the underdog, standing up for freedom, against freedom, speaking out against censorship. next guest censorship. my next guest certainly of those certainly ticks all of those boxes. natalia markova is the co—founder of restore childhood and joins now. good morning, natalia . it's very early in the natalia. it's very early in the morning for you there in america at this morning. yes it's like 530 in the morning. oh, well, you for getting up early. lovely to talk to you. now tell us what is restore your childhood and why did you feel the need to set up the charity restore ? up the charity restore? childhood is a non—profit organisation that we founded about a year ago now to restore children's normal, see and fight back against unscientific mandates that have been plaguing kids across blue areas which is know blue is different in the uk versus the us but here democrat

run areas across the country where we're still facing mandates and restrictions for kids so explain to us what that looks like for you, natalia, because here we think, well, you know, life has largely gone back to normal. kids are at school masks, are not being worn. there are no vaccine mandates anymore. how is it there now ? well, i how is it there now? well, i live in new york city, so most of the mandates have have largely gone away . the city and largely gone away. the city and the state mandates. i mean , last the state mandates. i mean, last yean the state mandates. i mean, last year, kids couldn't even into a restaurant in new york city or a show if they didn't a vaccine card . and that started december card. and that started december of last year and 20, actually in 2021. now and lasted through much of last year and then extend it to six month old when we had six month old back scenes and our way but masks masks were worn by children in schools up

until june of 2022. so just about six months ago, four kids from 5 to 12 and four toddlers in new york city . and that's to in new york city. and that's to an those children were masked the entire academy year last year so from september through june of last year. year so from september through june of last year . so it was it june of last year. so it was it was it was just insane. and while these mask mandates have gone away and the vaccine mandates have gone away , many mandates have gone away, many small businesses and theatres and, businesses that cater to children are still enforcing some of these mandates on their own . and that's just new york own. and that's just new york city. california still has some of these like spotty mandate in democratic areas as well. they brought back mask mandates for some college students here , some college students here, upstate new york at suny purchase, which is a state university of new york. they they brought back a mask mandate

just a couple of weeks ago to keep kids safe . apparently, even keep kids safe. apparently, even though these kids were getting back to normal, though these kids were getting back to normal , the state back to normal, the state university of new york has a vaccine mandate for students, but not and staff . yes, that's but not and staff. yes, that's true. students are the ones who are the most the most vulnerable to the mandates and the vulnerable to covid. and now most shockingly, mask have been brought back in really kind of like the poor areas around , the like the poor areas around, the country. so camden, new jersey, philadelphia, pennsyl vina, sacramento california has it has said that they would re mask because they still have this crazy colour tier system parts of massachusetts some of the poorest parts. so it's not over and now i don't know if the uk. press is reporting it this way, but in the us the press has really fallen in love with this term. triple demick.

really fallen in love with this term. triple demick . and now term. triple demick. and now they're talking about masking forever. so would be for and you don't know what the triple demick is it's rsv covid and the flu . okay. when i mean i know flu. okay. when i mean i know natalia , it's so obvious to me natalia, it's so obvious to me why are a problem for children and why people like us have to fight to make it clear that children do not need to wear them. but just remind our viewers in your research with your evidence analysis that you've now done for over a year , what are the disadvantages for 7 , what are the disadvantages for ? children to wear masks ? well, ? children to wear masks? well, number one, it's unpleasant. i mean, the fact is like there's a reason why we a nose and mouth. and you remember halloween masks always have those parts of your face cut out . so those are the face cut out. so those are the parts that are open, not parts that are closed. so we've done, you know, many initiatives. one of them has been a helping organise a group called of normal, which is a group of infectious disease and paediatric er doctors and

researchers across , the country researchers across, the country and in the uk and canada. researchers across, the country and in the uk and canada . and and in the uk and canada. and there's not one shred of evidence that these masks even remotely effective when they've looked at two different school districts that are fairly comparable and looked at whether there was increased transmission and the mask optional school district versus the one with the mandate, they really saw no correlation between transmission rate and mask wearing, but children really need to be to learn how to enunciate . they learn how to enunciate. they need to be able to smile at people and have teachers smile back at them . that's not back at them. that's not happening . faces are masked and happening. faces are masked and by the way, while there isn't a mask mandate going on for anyone here in new york city right now, most teachers, at least in the schools that my kids go to are still masking. so the kids can't see how they move mouths. it's a huge disadvantage for people who are acquiring english as a second language. we've spent time talking to the hard of heanng time talking to the hard of hearing and deaf community and they feel like they've been left

behind. nobody cares. they're there . they're struggling. if there. they're struggling. if they're reading lips, how can they're reading lips, how can they do that with the mask of speech ? i mean, so many areas speech? i mean, so many areas are still forcing children to get speech therapy with the mask on. i mean, if that's what an oxymoron, i don't know what is . oxymoron, i don't know what is. and sometimes here, when host discussions on masks to say that there is no evidence that they do any good and there is a lot of evidence say that they do a lot of and people say, well, they've been they've been wearing them in china for years and hasn't any harm. and and it hasn't done any harm. and my answer to that i don't my answer to that is, i don't want to live in china. there's a lot about chinese culture. i don't we need to import don't think we need to import here and particularly a low. and how do you know done them how do you know i have done them any it's kind of the any harm? it's kind of like the people were you know, people were saying, you know, you had your schools you guys had your schools open mostly in some mostly we had schools in some areas closed for over a and areas closed for over a year and some people saying, my some people were saying, my child's thriving in remote. child's is thriving in remote. and i kept saying was, how and all i kept saying was, how do you know? how do you judge that within few months to come that within a few months to come back ten years and let

back to me in ten years and let me how kid did after me know how your kid did after being locked for being locked remote for over a year and then we can make that decision. well natalia markova i am delighted say you are the am delighted to say you are the recipient of turner prize. recipient of the turner prize. get news mug. will. it get a gb news mug. it will. it will to send it to you will me more to send it to you than the mug itself. but i am determined to do so. thank you for your hard work. thank you for your hard work. thank you for what if you want to for what you do. if you want to find the of natalia and the find the work of natalia and the colleagues with, it's colleagues that she's with, it's restore childhood now and trade union have appeared before the commons transport committee. all of players who of the big players who can potentially to the potentially bring an end to the rail have come together, rail strikes have come together, including rmt general secretary mick general secretary mick, tsa general secretary frank ward and aslef general mick whalen will at get the latest from westminster with our political editor darren mccaffrey . good morning, daryn. mccaffrey. good morning, daryn. what was said of the meeting who was present and do we have any headunes was present and do we have any headlines about. i don't think we can have any headlines about solutions . they are still very solutions. they are still very much examining the possibility of a deal that does not look particularly close. these where,

as you say, the rail union leaders front of transport leaders front of the transport select committee morning in parliament. when asked what they thought the chances of one out of ten were that a deal could be arranged or a solution. how close it was , essentially the close it was, essentially the solution was that think you solution was that i think you conclude zero apparently in one out of ten were further away than when we started. so that was from the aslef union chief mick mcquillan and i copied up and followed by frank wood, who's said wouldn't disagree. that was at the tsa . who's said wouldn't disagree. that was at the tsa. his union leader mick lynch though said it depends on discussions and he wasn't going to use a scale and he has been in talks with the transport secretary, mark harper today. there have been suggestions the government looking at potentially upping the amount of they're willing to give rail workers to try and end this strike. but as i say, i think we're a long way from a deal think we're a long way from a deal. let's have a listen in to what mick lynch the head of the rmt union, the biggest rail

union, had to say when he spoke in parliament in the last hour or so, under their current, which are sponsored put which are sponsored and put forward by department of forward by the department of transport, will be no transport, there will be no ticket last version of ticket. and the last version of the offer that we had from the talks, there will be no guards ever. talks, there will be no guards ever . so these are very stark ever. so these are very stark choices. plus they want to dilute all of our contractual terms conditions virtually. so it's a very strong challenge for us and this is completely directed by the government in every element . directed by the government in every element. i don't directed by the government in every element . i don't know if every element. i don't know if any of our members go anywhere near except in those proposals. they are such profound changes that they'll be very difficult for any union to accept. okay, back. for any union to accept. okay, back . so as i for any union to accept. okay, back. so as i can tell quite a lot of disagreement there between the unions and the current government position. of course, it's not just the railway workers . paramedics are railway workers. paramedics are out on strike today. junior doctors may well follow suit. teachers as well, i'm sure, is going dominate minister's going to dominate minister's question the first one of

question time. the first one of the year in just over an hour's time. that's okay. okay. thank you.thank time. that's okay. okay. thank you. thank you, darren mccaffrey see westminster, right see that at westminster, right back with my guests to go through biggest of the day. through the biggest of the day. a broadcaster and journalist through the biggest of the day. a bro parry ter and journalist through the biggest of the day. a bro parry is and journalist through the biggest of the day. a bro parry is here journalist through the biggest of the day. a bro parry is here and 1alist through the biggest of the day. a bro parry is here and also mike parry is here and also editor of , the daily express. editor of, the daily express. political editor, sam lister. now guys, we're going to be talking about this. we're playing music i don't know quite why we can burst into dance. maybe so listen us, shamima begum , she's been given this begum, she's been given this podcast by the bbc story. i'm just so much more than isis, she says. just so much more than isis, she says . i'm just so much more than isis, she says. i'm mike. just so much more than isis, she says. i'm mike . what do you says. i'm mike. what do you think? is there something to be learned? she was 15 when she went. you need to hear what she's got to say. well sajid javid is not a an extremist politician , in my view, but he politician, in my view, but he made it very, very clear from the start, didn't he, when he was in a position do so. no way will we welcome this woman back into our country. because into our country. that's because inherently he realises that the backgrounds she's coming from is

so littered with the potential of terrorism in the future . he of terrorism in the future. he thinks it would be mad to have let her back there because of the contact she will have made over the years. now the bbc podcast, by the way, it's not one podcast. it's a series of ten. not only that there's a film to accompany. the feature length will follow bbc length film will follow on bbc iplayer . so i think the bbc are iplayer. so i think the bbc are putting bit of muscle into presenting the case until we listen to it, we don't know whether it's loaded one way or the straight down the the other or straight down the middle. and it appears in the times morning because times this morning because the times this morning because the times in fact, found times newspaper in fact, found her in the syrian refugee camp. so they've both got interest in the story . but so they've both got interest in the story. but i'm so they've both got interest in the story . but i'm resolute with the story. but i'm resolute with mr. with sajid javid from all those years ago if even those are point 1% chance that when comes it will give any sort of opening to any sort of possibility future terrorist action. i'm afraid you've got to say to the young lady, you come, i'm sorry, what i find

interesting, sam, is the details that the bbc have leaked beforehand in order to promote it. one the things that it. i'm one of the things that they've is that she packed they've said is that she packed a mint chocolate for her trip to syria to the brutal death, syria to join the brutal death, saying, just much saying, i'm just so much more than what what i kind of than what are what i kind of inside . it tells you how they're inside. it tells you how they're going to set up. it is meant to be a pr exercise for her, isn't it? well, the journalist involved, i think he's insisting it's a robot maker. i think mr. journalist. he's made it. yeah. he's insisting a robust analysis of what's actually happened in this story . and obviously it is this story. and obviously it is a story of great public interest and people do want to know what's going on with what we're see with it . and so, you know, see with it. and so, you know, there is nothing wrong with a journal exercise of investigating story, but it's how you present to isn't it. and the title is i'm not a monster as you say you took the chocolate i mean to be fat she was a schoolgirl so the reason there is an argument to look at whether she was groomed kind of groomed you know, she was groomed and you know, she was a child. so do have to kind of

child. so we do have to kind of make them dangerous . so if make them more dangerous. so if she then grown in she was 15, then she's grown in adulthood this couldn't adulthood into this couldn't she? of course. yeah. well, i was going to unsavoury, you know. sorry. just if i'm just with reading that what former children's tim lawton who is again he's not a kind of, you know, extremist, you know , any know, extremist, you know, any radical wing of the conservative party or whatever, a moderate. but said he's a children's minister. so you know, he has a particular perspective on this and he's said public sympathy for beg him when she first for ms. beg him when she first went missing was increasingly it's by outrage . it's been replaced by outrage. and he says many people are that she's putting on an act. and he says many people are that she's putting on an act . and she's now putting on an act. and he says , i think most people he says, i think most people will say that, frankly, we i know thing she got herself into this frankly it's down this mess and frankly it's down to to how she's to her to work out how she's going to get out of it. and so it's a very strong it's from somebody like slim lawton, a very strong looking man looking on . now, course, on the screen. now, of course, this that the bbc this is the graphic that the bbc selling podcast selling the podcast with. if you're listening radio , you're listening on the radio, it's glamorous picture of it's a very glamorous picture of shamima begum. it's a sort of p0p shamima begum. it's a sort of pop art the made up highs ,

pop art with the made up highs, very got very western. she's got a baseball , very western. she's got a baseball, shiny hair, very western. she's got a baseball , shiny hair, eyelashes baseball, shiny hair, eyelashes , eyeliner, the shamima bagan story. i am not a monster. we are only allowed to draw one conclusion from this . do you conclusion from this. do you think this is paving the way? mike to her being allowed back? and i do hope it's paving the for people to start changing minds because as say that presentation was rock and roll. yeah that could be in the front a music an album or something like that you know but what you're going to look back to are the history of life is very tragic . you know, was she tragic. you know, she was she says that she was sold into sex slavery, that she had to marry somebody , tragically had three somebody, tragically had three children, all of whom died given birth three times and lost those three children and quite is this kind of me to say for a woman who's had three children, lost three children, she doesn't seem to have any focus on that in her life? well, the focus is only let me back into the uk. see to some extent that's an argument

to therefore listen to the podcast because we've all got a very strong opinion about her. i mean, if i don't have a particularly opinion, but i'm not going to lie because i've seen, i've got, i've had, you know , i've got 2 to 1 child know, i've got 2 to 1 child who's already been 50 and i've got 15. they think got two almost 15. they think they know everything at 15, right. teenagers they know everything. right? wrong everything. right? we're wrong about i can see about everything. so i can see that they are children , but they that they are children, but they think they are adults . i need to think they are adults. i need to understand her story to have a better opinion. i don't feel like i've got an informed opinion. i don't think. we can give her the benefit of the doubt.look give her the benefit of the doubt. look in the terrorist incidents which have taken place incidents which have taken place in this country and cause terrible and terrible loss of life. and that's i'm saying. 0.1% of that's what i'm saying. 0.1% of doubt. she'd be all right. doubt. oh she'd be all right. now, look, she's now accepted western values, but we don't think she's accepted them because she's changed her way of life. we think she's accepted them. so she looks glamorous when she's to draw our conscience and say, please let me back. yeah i am. i would like

to listen to you some journalist i want to listen to it very clearly. cool air and make my own conclusion . yes. and this is own conclusion. yes. and this is a if the b because i haven't listened to it. so i don't know. so yeah. yeah. if the bbc been rigorous about this and treated it as a proper journalistic it as a properjournalistic exercise and that is actually, you know, for my mind , it's you know, for my mind, it's a worthy thing to do, it's just we meet so far we've heard is not actually you know what i'm thinking about it now talking to you guys about it makes me consider i think problem with it is it's the bbc if an independent production had said about going to it that would have been appropriate . i think have been appropriate. i think it's the fact that it's the taxpayers money it is so taxpayers money when it is so controversial the controversial when the incontrovertible is she incontrovertible evidence is she went to join a terrorist organisation against this country that that's i think that this probably will be an independent company whether you know within the bbc but it will be it'll be people but shouldn't the bbc to dispel any sort of feeling that they're on her side

it's a propaganda campaign shouldn't it shouldn't they have a hearing of this with people like some there to watch it, examine it and then comment on it so that we get a much broader view of what their purpose was in making it. well, you've made it clear what you think. sharon says no podcast for a traitor. how dare bbc? right. that's the end of our first hour we've been we're going to be talking in the next hour the northern next hour about the northern ireland we're going to ireland protocol. we're going to be going over that to one of our reporters. first, so here's reporters. but first, so here's the weather. hello, aidan the weather. hello, i'm aidan mcgivern the met office. mcgivern from the met office. there be some bright or there will be some bright or sunny today, especially sunny spells today, especially in the east of the uk. but more rain on way for many in the rain on the way for many in the form of showers or longer spells of rain mostly affecting western areas . we've got this strong areas. we've got this strong westerly airflow at the moment, the strongest winds that we saw across the north of scotland are easing ice us opening out a easing the ice us opening out a little, but it stays blustery across the uk through the day and that wind will bring in further heavy showers hail

thunder a possibility and some of the showers merging to form longer spells of rain, especially for parts of wales, the then into the southwest and then into central by end of the central by the end of the afternoon , best of any brighter afternoon, best of any brighter spells will towards east. but spells will be towards east. but even there'll be some even here there'll be some showers temperatures back to showers and temperatures back to run average eight or nine generally across england and wales, or six or seven for wales, five or six or seven for scotland and northern into the evening the rain ramps up again and the wind across wales in the south—west in particular and round southwestern shores , a round southwestern shores, a coastal gales at 60 mile per hour wind gusts. a calmer and clearer night for northern scotland, where a frost will form minus three of minus four in some sheltered glens and a bright start for northern scotland. some showers in the far north. yeah but elsewhere, a lot of cloud . further outbreaks lot of cloud. further outbreaks of rain for northern ireland as well as western scotland . the well as western scotland. the morning wales in the morning and wales in the southwest concerns here because of the large amounts of rain falling on saturate ground especially for brecon beacons and exmoor . especially for brecon beacons and exmoor. now the rain will

children, to private . i'm not children, to private. i'm not going to criticise individual parents for doing that. i just don't think that private don't think right that private schools enjoy business rates relief i don't think it relief and i don't think it can be justified that the vat reliefs they enjoy the tax reliefs that they enjoy the tax breaks that they say this me is about making sure that we are raising money to invest in our state. the foreign secretary says post—brexit trading issues that undermine northern ireland's place in the uk must be addressed. james cleverly meeting with northern ireland's party leaders in belfast today to discuss the impact of the northern ireland protocol. mr. cleverly . along with the cleverly. along with the northern ireland secretary chris heydon will also speak about the stalemate with instalment . the stalemate with instalment. the prime minister and his japanese counterpart will sign a landmark defence agreement today. will allow the uk and japan to deploy into each other's countries . the into each other's countries. the treaty will make the uk the first european country to have mutual access with japan . it's

back to beth. very good morning. welcome back to beth tennis today on gb news. hey, what we've got for the next hour the foreign secretary james cleverly will meet with northern ireland's party leaders to discuss the impacts of the protocol on businesses and trade. will have the latest from belfast and as the nhs delays continue to grow over the past 34 weeks we've had 90,000 more deaths than we should expect in an average year, particularly with the age group 35 to 54 mysteriously hit the most. i'm going to be speaking to statistician jamie jenkins about . what might be going on. my panelis . what might be going on. my panel is going to be back for another hour as. well, a political editor at the daily express sam list, as well as broadcaster mike parry. and of course the show is much improved thanks to your contributions. don't to vote in the poll on twitter this morning we are asking you with the release of the bbc podcast to give shamima bagan a platform to tell her side the story. will you be

watching to it? should she be allowed this opportunity courtesy of the bbc. do get onto twitter at gb news to let me know what you think and gb views gbnews.uk is the email address. so first up, the foreign secretary will spend the day in belfast addressing trading issues between northern and uk. james cleverly will join us. secretary of state chris hayes and harris at a roundtable meeting with party leaders to discuss impact of the northern ireland protocol . so let's cross ireland protocol. so let's cross over to central belfast and speak to gb news. is northern ireland reporter beattie ireland reporter dougie beattie . good morning, dougie. good to see you . what's situation in see you. what's the situation in northern ireland currently? what a stalemate . well, it's got a stalemate. well, it's got worse than the last few moments actually, because it wouldn't be round table talks without drama. northern ireland, sinn fans. mary lou mcdonald is the president of sinn fein, but

she's elected inside britain . she's elected inside britain. she is a t she doyle or a td and the republic of ireland's government and therefore has not been invited to these talks. sinn fein then are saying that we are going into the we are not going into the talks if cannot our president if we cannot bring our president and with us. so james cleverly arriving into the a bit of a storm as even these talks start. but that he's got the other side of that he said earlier on on the week that there had been between the eu and the uk over information traded as what can come in and what can not come northern ireland. well unionists happy to see that there is talks and. it is going forward, but they're unhappy that the tsa checks that paperwork that is because the checks themselves don't take that long with the paperwork was northern ireland about a quarter paperwork was northern ireland about a quarte r £1,000,000,000 about a quarter £1,000,000,000 per year on they're not saying well no these green lines and red lines that come into by actually accepting the paperwork, it is still putting

other companies trading inside northern ireland because of the cost of the paperwork and they're also saying, well, if you have to show paperwork to come northern ireland well then not confirm that in northern ireland there's a separate state from the rest of the uk and it really comes to down the protocol and how it was put together. and of course the protocol really is a trade deal. it's an international trade deal andifs it's an international trade deal and it's designed to protect the integrity of the european single market. but they expect britain to do the hard work for that, to make the sacrifices for that. and unionists are refusing to go over to government here because they say that the protocol destroy the good friday agreement . it keeps us outside agreement. it keeps us outside and away from the uk . well, of and away from the uk. well, of course, any trade deal, what they're trying to do is align they're trying to do is align the finances of the republic of ireland with northern ireland. they're trying to have an all in one economy which will make sense if you're trying to

protect this single market. the problem unionism sees with that of course where you get financial alignment you very very quickly get political alignment and the 25th anniversary of the good friday agreement arriving and the april joe biden wanting to the celebrations and of course there not is no good agreement and not looking as if that will happen unless these talks are success for them. hi. what are the chances of that? well, under legislation by the 19th of january. chris heaton—harris , january. chris heaton—harris, secretary of state will have to an election to happen sometime in early april. if not, he will have to extend that legislation and continue with direct run . so and continue with direct run. so it's all to play for today . but it's all to play for today. but this is only the start of . a this is only the start of. a series of talks that are about to happen. keir starmer here tomorrow and of course the tea shock. leo varadkar also in belfast tomorrow to try and push those talks forward . okay. thank those talks forward. okay. thank you, dougie . dougie to there in

you, dougie. dougie to there in belfast. we've all got our fingers crossed. they can come to some sort of resolution. my goodness. it feels like they need to sort tony right now . need to sort tony right now. some people would say these are shocking figures from the office of national statistic x, but some of us have known about this for whole of 2022. frankly for the whole of 2022. frankly excess deaths in two were the worst among the worst in 50 years. are all sorts of reasons why these might be happening. and we, frankly, have got to put a lot more resources into working. why that times on our reporting that there are a thousand excess deaths each. well one man who has been shouting this for a lot longer than 24 hours is jamie jenkins. stats jamie on twitter. great to see you, jamie. former head of statistics at the office of. national statistics. now, i don't know about you, but when i saw the bbc saying that these figures are inspiring a brand new debate, prompting a new debate. what was your reaction to that ? well shocking, to be

to that? well shocking, to be honest with you, bev, because you say i've been talking about this for at least six months. i've been on with your colleagues, mark steyn and dan wootton talking about it back in the summer. it's not a new debate. know i've been highlighting this to some of the prominent journalists bbc prominent journalists at the bbc and much silence and been pretty much silence from . but it's finally we from them. but it's finally we starting to see a lot of the kind of the media waking up to what's on. let me just what's going on. so let me just explain to the viewers and those on radio what we mean. and on the radio what we mean. and so excess is where you can look at how would you expect at how deaths would you expect to across country. to see across the country. and because we've had this pandemic the last couple of years, we normally take those years out unless. look at 2015 to 2019. now do have a large cohort of now we do have a large cohort of people population are people in the population are born just after second world born just after the second world war. post—war baby boomers war. the post—war baby boomers who of that age who are kind of hitting that age now, they're reaching now, where they're reaching probably life expectancy. so rather look at numbers rather than just look at numbers , look at the kind of , you can look at the kind of the dying before the the probability dying before the pandemic apply pandemic and then apply that to how many people got in the how many people we've got in the population. if do that in population. and if we do that in 2022, pretty a of kind

2022, it's pretty a tale of kind of two parts. we had the first 17, 18 weeks of the year where deaths were below what you'd expect. and then from around what we say in 19 now, the last 34 weeks, we've seen deaths above , you would expect now it's above, you would expect now it's running at about hundred and 60 per over that period. per week over that period. i think you've talked about a thousand deaths that some of the media about. that's media are talking about. that's in because we've got more in part because we've got more kind of older people now. if you adjust still adjust for that, there's still that and you dig that issue. and when you dig underneath headline number underneath that headline number of deaths overall and of how many deaths overall and start it by age, if start looking at it by age, if you take out covid, because we know couple waves of know been a couple of waves of covid throughout the summer and the autumn months is predominantly is predominantly the access is among aged 35 to 54, among people aged 35 to 54, which is obviously concerning because the use of life loss for those individuals is much higher than people are than if obviously people are dying at elderly do we know dying at elderly age. do we know why. at the moment, other who is actually look that's that's probably a better question who is charged with finding out what

is charged with finding out what is causing these excess deaths and are they doing a good job of it ? well, that's a very good it? well, that's a very good question . so when i was on with question. so when i was on with them with dan on his evening show back in august, i think put a call in to the department for health and they said that they'd call for an investigation . so call for an investigation. so that was august. we're now into january we're really much january and we're really much clearer. we've kind of i think some parts some of the unions and things are saying that obviously a lot of is to do with nhs delays and they've put a number out. then the nhs england have that, they don't recognise that number. so there's going to be factors at be a multitude of factors at play. people talk about the play. some people talk about the fact that if you've got a covid infection, that could be a factor along in the longer term. some have about some people have talked about the rollout. the vaccination rollout. that could factor. some people could be a factor. some people talk nhs problems that talk about the nhs problems that we've could be a we've got. that could be a factor . there's a multitude of factor. there's a multitude of factors, but what the government should all the should have is they know all the people died. they have people who died. they will have their and their their patient record and their pathway the if they pathway through the nhs if they

were a waiting list, if there were on a waiting list, if there was a delay, if they should know they covm was a delay, if they should know they covid status. for most people who had a covid positive test the low vaccination . so test and the low vaccination. so a of all these different a lot of all these different things that in the mix. if things that are in the mix. if the data was out there, maida, available not just from the government, a lot of government, but a lot of analysts myself , if not analysts like myself, if not just me across the country , been just me across the country, been kind of crunching numbers over the put all the last get this, let's put all the last get this, let's put all the out there. let's the last get this, let's put all the a out there. let's the last get this, let's put all the a proper»ut there. let's the last get this, let's put all the a proper look ere. let's the last get this, let's put all the a proper look ate. let's the last get this, let's put all the a proper look at it_et's the last get this, let's put all the a proper look at it and. have a proper look at it and. then can perhaps open up then we can perhaps open up what's really going on. mm. absolutely the thing is, jamie, i've watching credulous i've been watching credulous on all for at all the media all the for at all the media channels, as you say, gb news the people's channel. are the the people's channel. we are the only seems to be only channel that seems to be bothered people only channel that seems to be botialive people only channel that seems to be botialive or people only channel that seems to be botialive or dead people only channel that seems to be botialive or dead at people only channel that seems to be botialive or dead at the people only channel that seems to be botialive or dead at the moment. are alive or dead at the moment. it seems on the are it often seems on the other are not going there that is now is that because they spent so time in pandemic encouraging in the pandemic encouraging asking more restrictions a asking for more restrictions a national health service devoted to covid. it's quite awkward for some of those channels to now come out and say this might be collateral damage from the very

movement the very policies that we were we were cheering for. how do they handle that from a media point of view ? and not as media point of view? and not as a very good point? because if you do at the figures and you start looking at, say, a&e attendances , well, when the attendances, well, when the calls were saying stay home, protect the nhs . some people protect the nhs. some people would argue that what what they were meaning is to stay at home if you were to avoid infecting , if you were to avoid infecting, you gone to the nhs you should have gone to the nhs . but that's what the public . but that's not what the public it because the figures are quite stark. loads people didn't stark. loads of people didn't turn up to the nhs, the a&e attendances fell off a cliff , so attendances fell off a cliff, so people genuinely did say stay home, don't protect the nhs avoid the nhs? don't put any pressure on us. and that's where we've got 7.2 million people on waiting lists . we've got 7.2 million people on waiting lists. england we've got 7.2 million people on waiting lists . england we've got waiting lists. england we've got record numbers in wales and it's not when you start looking at as well that what you can see is that when you start looking at how many deaths you would expect from different causes, the office for health improvement and disparities , they're kind of and disparities, they're kind of citing from their data that is

unked citing from their data that is linked to kind heart issues. linked to kind of heart issues. you at the waiting list for you look at the waiting list for heart now they've heart issues, now they've increased number of increased 50. the number of people waiting for people who are waiting for treatment issues on treatment for heart issues on nhs, there was 233,000 in february 2020. it's now over 340,000. so it's gone up 50. so there will be people on these waiting lists who are probably dying before they get in to see somebody . dying before they get in to see somebody. but dying before they get in to see somebody . but also people who somebody. but also people who are dying before they're actually getting to you know, to be on the waiting list in the first place. it's really it's genuinely so shocking and entirely predictable for those of us who were shouting that if you everybody at home, you you keep everybody at home, you make more, make us eat more, drink more, move less , more sedentary and move less, more sedentary and not go. and let's say have a check upon the anomalous lump you might have. and you gave cancer a six month run. they the consequences of this are serious , are human. they are tragic . , are human. they are tragic. jamie, thank you. jamie jenkins there. thank you so much for bringing us up to speed with that. bringing us up to speed with that . now, don't forget to vote that. now, don't forget to vote in our twitter poll this morning

. we're asking you that the bbc, .we're asking you that the bbc, given the bbc have allowed shamima begum a platform to tell story. it's a ten part podcast that should she have this ability , make her story known. ability, make her story known. it's very controversial 92% of you say, no, she should show . you say, no, she should show. send us an email as well, gbviews@gbnews.uk or tweet me at gb news. now, after the break, i'm going to talk to my panellists, sam lister and mike parry on the day's biggest stories. here's the stories. but first, here's the weather hello. i'm aidan weather. hello. i'm aidan mcgivern from the met office there will be some bright or , there will be some bright or, sunny spells today, especially in east of the uk. but more in the east of the uk. but more rain on the way for many in the form showers. longer spells form of showers. longer spells of mostly affecting western of rain mostly affecting western areas . we've got this strong areas. we've got this strong westerly at the moment, the strongest the winds that we saw across the north of scotland are easing the ice opposite , opening easing the ice opposite, opening out a little, but it stays blustery . the uk through the day blustery. the uk through the day and that wind will bring in further heavy showers, hail , a further heavy showers, hail, a possibility and some of the showers merging to form longer

spells of rain, especially for parts of wales in the southwest and then into central england by the of afternoon , best the end of the afternoon, best of any brighter spells will be towards the east. but even here there'll be showers there'll be some showers and temperatures to run average temperatures back to run average eight generally across eight or nine generally across england wales , five or six england and wales, five or six or seven for scotland and northern ireland into the evening the rain ramps up again and the wind across wales in the southwest in particular and around south southwestern shores , around south southwestern shores a , around south southwestern shores , a coastal gales, 60 mile per hour wind gusts , calmer and hour wind gusts, calmer and clearer night for northern, where a frost will form minus three of minus four in some sheltered glens and a bright start for northern scotland. some showers in the far north here, but elsewhere a lot of cloud and further outbreaks of rain for northern ireland as well as western scotland through the morning and wales in the southwest. concerns here because of large amounts of rain of the large amounts of rain falling on saturated ground, especially beacons and especially for beacons and exmoor. now the rain will move through, followed by showers. it's a mile, but two blustery

day in the south temperatures closer to average for the north and the rain as it pushes into central scotland will fall as snow above 400 metres, perhaps affecting some higher routes. so it's for parts of scotland and increasingly so heading into thursday night a milder further but all areas turning colder into the weekend with further heavy showers but some sunny spells .

good morning. welcome back to bev turner today on gb news. thank you very much for finding us. not everybody does. when you do, you love us to tell you mates. you what we do, mates. if you like what we do, let me introduce you. it's my guest this morning. i'm delighted to be joined back here at the breakfast bar with the political editor of the daily express as lister and

express as sam lister and broadcaster and journalist ben took you don't mind took up my part. you don't mind being a rent a coffee? being called a rent a coffee? i think it's a bit harsh, but i've been called worst now by the church england . we'll spend church of england. we'll spend 100 million quid in a bid to atone for its historical links to the slave trade. yes, go on. what do you make of this? well, dunng what do you make of this? well, during their conscience, by taking back crimes of their past, i'll tell you what, are very wealthy organisations, church of england, and i wish they'd a lot of their own they'd spend a lot of their own money get back money trying to get people back into churches. now this into churches. okay. now this country regularly country mosques are regularly full. do know why that is? full. do you know why that is? because people the muslim because people of the muslim faith their faith. faith believe in their faith. they to worship. they want they want to worship. they want to commitment to demonstrate their commitment to demonstrate their commitment to their beliefs. why isn't that being promoted in christianity . being promoted in christianity. i wish the archbishop of canterbury would spend as much time trying to get people back into churches as does about into churches as he does about off every other social. off about every other social. usually leaning issue in this country for slavery. i hope they're going to, you know, brainwash us and say it was all our fault. we abolished slavery.

a slavery in 1807 and we 150,000 potential slaves from the ships. we then captured off the coast of africa, we the country that led to the abolition of slavery. i don't believe we've got any more guilt in our history than any other country in the world, because for three centuries, 16, 17, 18, slavery was an endemic part of the world. take it back to its logical beginning and you would never go and visit the colosseum in rome or the pyramids in egypt because of it built by slaves? yeah well, apparently the church has researched funds that managed by the church commission has found that some wealth. wealth? the some wealth. originally came from investments in firms running the slave well running the slave trade, as well as from traders as donations from slave traders , including edward colston. if you was the statue in you remember, was the statue in bristol was toppled bristol that was toppled the height lives matter height of the black lives matter protest. this kind story protest. this this kind of story some really troubles me because you could trace any money back

to any sort of mildly unethical . yeah. origin, can't you ? of . yeah. origin, can't you? of course. and i'm amazed the church got 100 million. well, not amazing. churches very wealthy, but i'm amazed at this choosing to the 100 million quid on this. whereas like mike said, there surely be better ways there surely must be better ways to this money. well, this to spend this money. well, this i this the thing is of i mean, this is the thing is of our pieces lead column our pieces in the lead column today in our paper. and we're say actually a lot of churches do not feel they're part of do not feel like they're part of a organisation. they a wealthy organisation. they are scraping and scrimping and crumbling. yeah, they have they have number churches to have a number of churches to cover now. they don't just have wall, you know, five wall, you know, they have five or six cover, but they have or six to cover, but they have to a amount to to pay a certain amount to central and that can be central coffers and that can be a massive burden for a local church that has a very small congregation. so they do not feel like they're wealthy organisation and this kind organisation and when this kind of spent and of money being spent and also you've to do they work you've got to how do they work out much money it holds for out how much money it holds for this you know how have this past. you know how have they come up with figure they come up with this figure and the end of eight and does that then clear the slate and the questions around and the same questions around and they explain they don't actually explain what they're on as you

they're to spend this on as you quite rightly say, some they could build half a dozen church schools. yeah you know they could recruit thousands of more people spread the word of christianity . they could they christianity. they could they could rebuild christianity as a faith in this country. but it's a really ludicrous amount of on something which they haven't even specified what they're going to do now. listen, some some very breaking news. this isn't even on the news websites yet. tory mp andrew bridgen , he yet. tory mp andrew bridgen, he has been suspended over his covid vaccine comments. now, if you aren't familiar , the work you aren't familiar, the work that andrew bridgen has been doing , he has that andrew bridgen has been doing, he has very much been in contact with the vaccine people. he was at an all party parliamentary group meeting . i parliamentary group meeting. i was also there hearing stories from those who are vaccine injured and he's been trying to raise awareness that they had been working closely with dr. aseem malhotra and his findings as a cardiologist and looking at his clinically peer reviewed papers to say that the vaccines

are now doing more harm than good. what you make of him losing the whip, mike, was it for one specific comment still breaking out, but apparently it's a bit hard . find the it's a bit hard. find the information. here we go . but information. here we go. but he's handing me a piece of papen he's handing me a piece of paper. thank you has a story which we moved after, causing great offence with remarks on covid vaccines and holocaust apparently he claimed that covid vaccines are causing serious harm and said it was the biggest crime against humanity since the holocaust . so we chief whip holocaust. so we chief whip simon hart has said , andrew, simon hart has said, andrew, britain line britain has crossed a line causing great offence the process as a nation we should be very proud of what has been achieved through the vaccine programme. the vaccine, best programme. the vaccine, the best defence that we defence against covid that we have the have misinformation about the vaccine harm and cost vaccine causes harm and cost lives. i'm therefore removing the andrew bridgen the whip from andrew bridgen with effect . a formal with immediate effect. a formal investigation . while think investigation. while i think i don't see any great offence, they're not quote the biggest problem going to humanity since the holocaust. he's merely saying that his opinion then saying that in his opinion then it's an unjust situation taking

place, but it's not a holocaust denier or anything like that . denier or anything like that. once you start bringing the word holocaust into any argument whatsoever , it is the greatest whatsoever, it is the greatest crime in the history of the world. and you're going to put yourselves right up there to be shot down. yeah. yeah. sam, what do you make? i agree. i think once you go down that road, you are opening yourself up to a whole and whole world of trouble. and there is no need to raise there is just no need to raise there is just no need to raise the in relation to the holocaust in relation to covid. you know, you just it is offensive to people, but he's basically sacked for basically being sacked for a simile . yeah, is true. simile. yeah, no, that is true. if you look, i especially if you look, i think especially harrison , of course, you know, harrison, of course, you know, at some say still early days , we at some say still early days, we have no long term data. the numbers still coming in with vaccine harms. and he is certainly working hard with those individuals who are trying to also to claim the money that they're owed from the government because, course, remember, the pharmaceutical companies were against . but go on. against any claims. but go on. what is going to say, if you're absolutely right a simile that's

what he's helpful. but i'm afraid even as a simile it tends to trivialise the holocaust . to trivialise the holocaust. yeah, because no matter how bad it gets , covid, no matter how it gets, covid, no matter how many thousands , no matter how many thousands, no matter how many thousands, no matter how many millions die , in the end, many millions die, in the end, if it's shown to have been a complete neatly, you know, wrong policy, never going to be policy, it's never going to be it's just the holocaust. you wonder what he's really been sacked , though. they sacked for, though. i mean, they are saying that it's he's misinformation . i've been misinformation. i've been watching very closely . mp andrew watching very closely. mp andrew bridgen been saying and i bridgen has been saying and i don't see it as misinformation, i as one of very few i see him as one of very few voices trying to make a claim for the people who've been injured. anyway, that's you. injured. but anyway, that's you. breaking to the tory mp. breaking news to the tory mp. just crossing a line causing just a crossing a line causing great offence in process . great offence in the process. clearly result of clearly a direct result of mentioning the word holocaust . mentioning the word holocaust. yeah, yeah. okay. right after the break, my panellist, mr. i'm mike parry be back for one more round two of a news analysis before pmqs stop a first here's your morning news. we start with

begum and her podcast, but not reinstate national on tv for reinstate the national on tv for the last year. the queen's jubilee last year. right. to our right. it guys back to our stories . boris johnson and mike stories. boris johnson and mike parry is living in a £20 million house. brilliant on one of uk's most expensive streets. does it matter? is this is this worthy of a front page on the mirror ? of a front page on the mirror? do you think so? i mean, we all know where the politics and you've got to give them the credit. they brought down boris johnson because they're stories of our partygate started the ball ended up with boris ball rolling ended up with boris exiting downing street so that's a clear mission . now there is of a clear mission. now there is of course talk about boris coming back in may . i course talk about boris coming back in may. i think that's course talk about boris coming back in may . i think that's what back in may. i think that's what this is about, isn't what i say is . and i read a piece , a very is. and i read a piece, a very influential piece of the day saying the only thing that keir starmer really fears is the return of boris. right and so could mirror be going all could the mirror be going all over again as the actual story itself? it's ridiculous . it's itself? it's ridiculous. it's the politics of envy . he's got the politics of envy. he's got to manage this flotilla . and the politics of envy. he's got to manage this flotilla. an d £20

to manage this flotilla. and £20 million actually belongs to the wife, lord himself. wife, not even the lord himself. lord bamford is very wealthy. billionaire. yeah produces all the bamford , you know, the bamford, you know, engineering products . if it the bamford, you know, engineering products. if it was his wife, it's very near harrods, you know, the world's most famous shop. and he that he not have anywhere to live at the moment of he's moment because, of course, he's been from downing street been ousted from downing street and he stands and chequers. so maybe he stands above issue i can above. now, the only issue i can see here is that he could be hiding the privilege that he's getting from borrowing his mates flat. but frankly who doesn't want to live in a £20 million apartment? i do. yes, i certainly do. and so is the accusation, sam. he's not paying rent there and therefore he's not declaring the interest as an mp. it's the estimate of how much the value of the house is getting. so he's put into register of members interest that it's worth register of members interest that it's wort h £10,000 a month. that it's worth £10,000 a month. the mirror says well around the corner is where, £30,000 a month. so he's underestimating the value of the freebies getting and therefore that's a breach of the rules. now i think

mike and you are both absolutely spot on. i think we going to see a lot more this stuff coming up because both sunak and because both rishi sunak and keir starmer are terrified of bofis keir starmer are terrified of boris johnson back and there's a big wing of the conservative party who desperately want that to happen. and so , you know, to happen. and so, you know, there's to be lot of there's going to be a lot of people trying to stop that. yeah. going see yeah. and you're going to see stories to effect, trying stories to this effect, trying make he he not make sure that he he does not return. yeah. fascinating. yeah. really you really won't go and a lot of people don't want him to. andrew oh, right mean he belongs in thi s £20 million apartment. in this £20 million apartment. bofis in this £20 million apartment. boris doesn't know you. know to me. i think we all do. my you want him to leave? you know, we love to live , right. craig king love to live, right. craig king charles, to you first state to visit to france to strength and post—brexit ties we know that prince charles is set to travel to paris just before easter on the invitation of president macron . what significance will macron. what significance will this trip , mike, is he going to this trip, mike, is he going to build a bridge with us with our.

well some will know a lot more about. this to me, the internal politics of it all. but they the idea it's going to be, you know , bonds because of brexit all has been floated actually by the french paper le parisien because they of would like us to be back in. they've always hated for coming out. yeah. mr. macron has been very unhelpful in the way that we've tried to handle the division of our countries after , brexit and le parisien is saying charles is coming here to build bridges and all. i don't think it's very significant that it will be the king's first overseas visit to france. but if that been a brexit, i believe charles would have done that as well. he's always believed in very strong ties with france , very strong ties with france, with our continental neighbours . so. so i think it's a political but as i say, some know how fall the king is allowed to go to impress us. the political of it all. i mean that's it. you know as king he

cannot get he cannot dip his toe into that row. you know, it just he has to rise above that. but just very fact of him go in that is building relations now really seem like he is trying to the relationship with france since he overi relationship with france since he over i think he gets on he took over i think he gets on quite well with emmanuel macron and obviously we had quite and it was quite a difficult year in this man with so much power. well, i mean, they've got huge amounts of power, so they seem to get on. i think this is a symbolic thing, isn't it? yeah, it's about that. they've got the is a palace, a state dinner. it's a it's a and of course he'll all the harry stuff hanging over him he goes for months now right. matt hancock talking things that won't go away matt hancock is going to turkey and what is the speculation? why parry is in turkey? well, there is some talk about he's going for a hair transplant. now, if like look at my bonnet, so to speak . you my bonnet, so to speak. you know, i've thought over the is about doing it myself and i want to see the guy who gave wayne a

hair trump t yes in harley street in london just decided it wasn't for me . it's you know wasn't for me. it's you know what is this is matt now paying the penalty for the shocking vanhy the penalty for the shocking vanity he showed over the last sort of 1218. yeah. two years. we all saw him in the jungle, and he's a very vain man. we all saw him in the jungle, and he's a very vain man . so and he's a very vain man. so i don't think there's any admission that it's going to happen. but the general public would say, i put it past him, you know, what do think? i think i think this was just like a bit of a social media flyer. somebody spotted him going to put two and two together. but really what i think is interesting is the fact he interesting is the fact that he then tik tok and did then went tik tok and did a little video about it and all these problems, you know, about this got no it's this story's got no teeth it's hair today, tomorrow. this story's got no teeth it's hairtoday, tomorrow. now hair today, gone tomorrow. now you clearly loves still you know he clearly loves still being price matter being the price doesn't matter it's in the spotlight yeah yeah well oh against it and i've got nothing against turkey. i just mention turkish teeth. okay and there is a thing, isn't it, that people are going abroad to get

dental treatments or cheap plastic surgery , then having to plastic surgery, then having to come by here and asking the nhs sort of fix things? you know, with no disrespect to the countries go to. so you countries they go to. so you know a, a still mp to go know as a, as a still mp to go to the next level. so remember, you know, we did it and i'm a celebrity, but he filmed sars two days before that. so we've still got to be subjected to public. yeah, right. we've been asking you on twitter this morning, should the give , morning, should the bbc give, shamima platform to shamima begum, a platform to tell the story in this tell her side the story in this new podcast. it's 10 hours of it, according to our twitter poll, 2% of you say no , this poll, 2% of you say no, this podcast should not be broadcast by the bbc. right, because end to the show is flown by again. thank you so, mike parry, sam lister . thank you so, mike parry, sam lister. coming up next is gb news live with stephen dixon. i'm bev turner. see you tomorrow morning at ten. hello i'm aidan mcgivern from the met office that will be some bright or sunny spells today, especially in the east of the uk. but more rain on the way for many in the form of showers or longer spells
