good. 5 minutes in this thing with prince harry. i'll be honest . once i started driving honest. once i started driving myself and the occasions which were there were multiple back into london from being in the country over the weekend. i would have paparazzi literally on the bonnet of the car and physically couldn't see anything . so prince harry really hates the house and needed to see what we're doing. the stuff . 34 we're doing. the stuff. 34 minutes in. i've got get through the third floor back . sorry. oh, the third floor back. sorry. oh, that's going for 34 minutes in. prince harry's managed make peace, he said. and they are so happy. peace, he said. and they are so happy . look peace, he said. and they are so happy. look at me . it looks at happy. look at me. it looks at you still sort of whingeing about the post. you know, my peace with anything is just it's interminable he's talking about the same thing again . and again, the same thing again. and again, i'm bored. a couple of things he took about accountability in the

oprah interview . you accused oprah interview. you accused members of your family of racism you don't even read a lot of . you don't even read a lot of. the british press said that , the british press said that, right? i did. meghan never mention the racist . she said mention the racist. she said there were troubling comments . there were troubling comments. she was concerned about his skin . right. wouldn't you describe as essentially not lived within that family ? right. oh oh, my that family? right. oh oh, my way . so you don't. i'm back to way. so you don't. i'm back to the difference between what my is because of my own experience . the difference between racism and unconscious bias. the two things are different, but once it's been acknowledged or pointed out to , you as an pointed out to, you as an individual or as an institution and that you have unconscious bias , you therefore have an bias, you therefore have an opportunity to learn and grow that in order so that you part of the solution. i want well anyway , it's almost as though

anyway, it's almost as though harry has forgotten the interview. well, just in case is a refresher or right now there are several conversations , a are several conversations, a conversation with you, with about how dark your baby is going to be potentially and what that would mean or look like . that would mean or look like. yes. the american press with their comments and pretty much meghan the usual race baiters dr. shola jumped on the bandwagon and in the end the queen issued a statement. recollections may vary and william said are not a racist family but harry states silent. what he say about the ngozi fulani affair. i'm very happy for ngozi fulani to be invited into the palace to sit down with lady susan hussey and, to reconcile because meghan and i love susan . i'll see. i think love susan. i'll see. i think she's great. and i also know that what she meant she never meant any harm at all all.

again, not a peep from harry and meghan until now some 22 months later when harry promoting his book which within the first few pagesis book which within the first few pages is pointed out, that william is balding and losing similarities to diana, a bedroom palace where he whinge about having to share a room with brother and in another instance in balmoral castle complaining about getting the smaller and not so half, i'm afraid all this book has revealed just how much the palace is protected. you, harry, from yourself . we would harry, from yourself. we would never have known about drug taking. the personal stories that were not really his to share and the true extent of what in my view is his narcissism. and frankly envy of his brother . and today's papers his brother. and today's papers are still full of it. on the front page of the telegraph. prince harry says there's enough another book. i cut memoir in half to spare my family. pardon the pun . he says he's edited out the pun. he says he's edited out the pun. he says he's edited out the revelations because they wouldn't forgive claiming he

left over felt responsibility to reform the monarchy for the sake of george charlotte and louis how considerate of him. he says i know that out of those children at least one will end up like me. the spare and it huns up like me. the spare and it hurts and worries me apparently. how he wants to fix things. he said this is not about trying to collapse the monarchy. granny and that if people had listened when he raised the alarm, they wouldn't be in this position. he them to come clean . and then we them to come clean. and then we can move on. a veiled threat. if everyone did hear one. prince harry, it would appear, seems to think that although his family might not like him at the moment, they would thank him in a few years time . dream on, a few years time. dream on, harry. i predict we've got cap in hand. and i'll be there to say i told you so . oh go back

anderson interview as well. there the questions and answers are virtually identical. talk about controlling the narrative . i wonder how long it took to harry practise and remember the answers . yeah, well, i think answers. yeah, well, i think violence as you talk about still quite embarrassed, especially when he's asked the question with regard the and now with regard to the race and now he up with racism could he came up with racism could literally see something give you to throw me under the bus as well as a great monologue . but well as a great monologue. but one question remains why does how he feels about anything matters to anyone outside the work he's exactly. albert says i with that yellow outfit you look an easy spring jacket . you an easy spring jacket. you think, oh, we make it. and my concerns are that on day of the king's coronation, harry and meghan will do something to spoil the historic day. so watch this space. well, you know what? they probably try, but, you know, hey, what can we do that , know, hey, what can we do that, you know, that's going to hang about, now? right about, like, abouts now? right now time . our great budget now it is time. our great budget debate this hour. and i'm asking the some pay

the bbc wrong to give some a pay podcast. now the bbc come under fire for releasing a podcast centred around the former us price from invasion critics who said that she shouldn't have been a mainstream media platform to share her tale of when she fled east london in 2015 to join the terror organisation syria as a teenager . so back in 2019, a teenager. so back in 2019, former home secretary sajid javid stripped bacon of a citizenship on the grounds that she is a threat to national security. now, supporters would claim that she was groomed by racists, muslims with a traitor knowingly and willingly joined a death cult. but the bbc insisted that the series a robust public interest investigation . and so interest investigation. and so do you think some inveigled should have been given a platform or this just a waste of licence payers? it's a great british debate i'm asking, are the bbc wrong to me? maybe a podcast ? well, i'm joined now by podcast? well, i'm joined now by former editor of the label is peter edwards, political commentator emma webb. reality tv commentator, tv star commentator, america conservative council claire pearsall. welcome all of you. thank you very much for joining

me. right i'm going to start with you in white house. why with you in the white house. why should pay licence fee to should we pay the licence fee to pay should we pay the licence fee to pay who's been a pay someone who's been a terrorist? a terrorist ? terrorist? who's a terrorist? well, firstly, i just want to say that just a baker, the journalist involved in this said this is not her podcast. this podcast is not her podcast. this their podcast. and it's a forensic investigation into the how and why. and i think would the bbc oxygen a public service here because there confronting baker because as a criminal justice system in the uk we certainly didn't do that. we off our responsibilities to a british national to someone else and i don't know how. no, no, no. hold on. i'm going to stop you there. listen, if you commit a crime in america, what happens to you in america? you get arrested in america. you don't come to the uk. and if you do something in another country, they're right? isn't they're saying that right? isn't that within their rights to punish that country? punish you within that country? so the fact that she's there is i don't think should be i don't think that should be really question that she's

really a question that she's fixed. was 15 years old. fixed. she was 15 years old. she's underage . and she was she's underage. and she was groomed and coerced into by all intelligence sex traffickers . intelligence sex traffickers. and why does anybody have any sympathy for . i and why does anybody have any sympathy for. i am i am just shocked . there's no because of shocked. there's no because of what you say was no good. well, because what you're saying is speculation necessarily speculation and not necessarily fact. let's go to clips of those stories. claire she shouldn't in being given a platform like this , just to follow on from what nannder , just to follow on from what narinder if the bbc wants to do a forensic look at people being grooms , why not give a platform grooms, why not give a platform to those grieving victims within the uk whose stories can't get who aren't being heard of believed? i think that is more important. i think the fact that she was 15 will worry some people. but she knew what she was doing . you cannot say that was doing. you cannot say that she had no idea she was a scale groom and gone to a 15. so they've forgiven. i let her finish . so i can't let you

finish. so i can't let you leave. the reports from her school said she was small. so when you hear , as we have when you hear, as we have numerous times now in different interviews, you get different version of she may not depending on who is talking to she is controlling that narrative. realistically, what the victims of places the manchester arena ball that she didn't have any sympathy for . where is that sympathy for. where is that volume on the air for their voices to be heard? because i'm not here again. i don't wish to see her. well, i'm going to go back to peter edwards. peter what are your thoughts? i mean, kind make them a very valid point seem to be point there. we seem to be focusing somebody who's well focusing on somebody who's well for all counts, potentially committed atrocities . committed terrorist atrocities. we're by we're all horrified by terrorism. i think we're all horrified by extreme . and i horrified by extreme. and i think there's a legitimate journalistic inquiry and interviewing someone involved in this and not. when anthony loyd, the times war reporter, tracked down to a refugee camp and a world exclusive , i don't believe world exclusive, i don't believe he was accused providing her

with a platform or being like . with a platform or being like. so i think we've got to be quite reasoned and cautious in how we speak about this. none of us want to defend actions, but we put them in context . a context put them in context. a context is someone who was at the time of leaving the uk and this is not to defend it, but just the fact was legally a child. yeah, but but it was on the bbc. these things, whether somebody could investigate it. but why why should licence fee should we as the licence fee payers paying for something payers be paying for something like that. emma. emma. when i'm all journalistic interest in all for journalistic interest in the story. but at this the story. story. but at this podcast what that is. podcast is not what that is. this second of this the second series of a podcast called i'm not a monster . it has a clear spin. the first series actually looks at a lady the united states , who went over the united states, who went over to join islamic state with her family. this is the second series of that . and it's quite series of that. and it's quite it's quite clear that this in this particular instance , this this particular instance, this is an ongoing situation unlike , is an ongoing situation unlike, as was the case with the united

states, where this is going to create sympathy for people and to help her case and to try and persuade the british public to change their opinion and to allow her back, even if the bbc do it a thorough invest, active piece of journalism on this, they're still not going to have they're still not going to have the information that the home secretary had when he decided to strip her her citizenship . so strip her of her citizenship. so this something we should this is not something we should be using public for. money try and the public and convince the public that this monster. when she this is not a monster. when she chose go knowingly join chose to go knowingly to join a terrorist organisation. well, come in on that then. yeah. i just of say that this this isn't to help shamima. this is about her. in fact, if anything, i say the are exploiting her. this going to help. it's going to cause weaponised against the west . i can't understand . cause weaponised against the west. i can't understand . no one west. i can't understand. no one here is agreeing. no one here. we all agree that it's a terrible isis. we not support terrorism. however the girl was 15 years old. what we're ? saying 15 years old. what we're? saying girls care, by the way, whether

she's smart or not, you know, we've got that. but she's the bbc to look at our want to do an investigation into her and pay it and all that that's that's up to them i would wouldn't watch i wouldn't support it but if it's illegal i know i'm a licence payen illegal i know i'm a licence payer. why should i pay for that? i don't pay for that. she's not even a british citizen. she's been as much as in disgrace daughter as a mother to a 15 year old daughter. i think online grooming. i really want to know i would want to know the how and why, how a 15 year old girl might. know the how and why, how a 15 year old girl might . and i don't year old girl might. and i don't know. i don't know. i want to know. i don't know. i want to know why she's done what she's done. it's not acceptable. who wants to come this last wants to come in on this last person? seconds. yeah. go to person? 30 seconds. yeah. go to my web . you know, all you have my web. you know, all you have to do is listen to the first episode of this documentary . episode of this documentary. there going to be many there are going to be many instalments hear how instalments of. this to hear how softball this is this is trying to clearly create sympathy for her. it's robust. it is going completely soft on her. and the way that it portrays her is

exactly the narratives that she has clearly wanted to spin to and create favour for her appeal to come back to the united states or to the united kingdom , which would potentially put people at risk. well, i would like to see is for the bbc to do to pay to british money into investigating what happens to the yazidis and the sex slaves in the state that she contributed to building. well thank you so much and also do some more stuff on them as well. listen thank you so much to peter meadows, former editor of the labour list, also political commentator webb, narinder commentator emma webb, narinder kaur star and claire pearsall kaur tv star and claire pearsall , the conservative councillor right show. with me. i'm nana akua. right show. with me. i'm nana akua . this is a gb news on tv, akua. this is a gb news on tv, onune akua. this is a gb news on tv, online and on digital radio. after break, we'll continue with the great budget debate. i'm asking bbc want to get. asking what the bbc want to get. you that they a podcast you mean that they get a podcast you the thoughts my you can hear the thoughts of my panel broadcast. columnist lizzie , and also political lizzie cundy, and also political commentator dowler . and commentator simon dowler. and stay at five. it's this stay with me at five. it's this week's difficult conversation. i'll be joined by former military major mike shearer. he

broadcasterjournalist lizzie broadcaster journalist lizzie cundy and also political commentator caller right. cundy and also political cori'mentator caller right. cundy and also political cori'm going caller right. cundy and also political cori'm going to caller right. cundy and also political cori'm going to startaller right. cundy and also political cori'm going to start witht right. cundy and also political cori'm going to start with you ht. so i'm going to start with you what you think what they what what do you think what they what they're they giving they're doing, are they giving us of us something to. well, first of all, we have to we have to recognise the fact that it's not you know, she's not on instagram going. i got a podcast, jeremy, she's actually what she's actually talking what happened? think it's happened? and i think it's important hear what she to important to hear what she to say because it might it might help other people recognise . the help other people recognise. the signs of being groomed online because well she didn't really start talking about the grooming until somebody of dropped until somebody sort of dropped in that it could be an option i haven't heard her say oh, people force me it. it's a super force me to do it. it's a super weird thing as well because angie, went over and angie, the guy who went over and interviewed was 19 and interviewed when she was 19 and she was in refugee she was she was in the refugee camp and was and she was still saying, you know, isis is nonsense. he was like, oh, she keeps changing her like keeps changing her story like this way and not going keeps changing her story like thithe way and not going keeps changing her story like thithe podcastnay and not going keeps changing her story like thithe podcast give|nd not going keeps changing her story like thithe podcast give he'sot going keeps changing her story like thithe podcast give he's like, ing in the podcast give he's like, well, she said to me. well, that's not she said to me. so i think think it's so i think i think it's important to get we to get we know where her head is he was sucked in by initially and sucked in by her initially and now realises that she's some

now he realises that she's some sort criminal mastermind. sort of criminal mastermind. well, because well, she is actually because she syria the she she entered syria to the islamic and sorry, she is islamic state and sorry, she is a traitor . she's a terrorist . so a traitor. she's a terrorist. so interesting on her story because . all she's trying to do is trying get back in and she's not fooling anyone. she's certainly not fooling me and the bbc are exploiting us because who's paying exploiting us because who's paying for it? but i think the bigger i think the bbc's stupid enough that this is some sort enough to that this is some sort of her try and of platform for to her try and get the uk that's the get back the uk and that's the reason this is happening in pubuc reason this is happening in public because public interest because i am afraid . monster so already you afraid. monster so already you positioned position to. ask positioned her position to. ask somebody who is not a monster that now. yeah but but but that are now. yeah but but but that's the title. but that means we they are inviting us to accept that narrative she accept that narrative that she is not monster and here her but from that perspective. i am not a monster . from that perspective. i am not a monster. she's a chaser. she's terrorist. yeah, i get it. but it's i mean she state deservedly so and would ask the taxpayer so and it would ask the taxpayer fortunes to monitor if she came back. fortunes to monitor if she came back . is she fortunes to monitor if she came back. is she is it what is interesting about what she's got to say how about the more important if you try and into

somebody's head and think well why why they have it, why they went to with. she went there to begin with. she went there to begin with. she went own volition. but went off her own volition. but she groomed. was she was groomed. she was trafficked when she lost three babies. i just i find it interesting then is in public and we get by and what benefit we get by knowing none whatsoever. and what benefit we get by kn0\did| none whatsoever. and what benefit we get by kn0\did it none whatsoever. and what benefit we get by kn0\did it because; whatsoever. and what benefit we get by kn0\did it because sometimes r. she did it because sometimes they stop i could they could stop girls. i could stop happening in the future stop it happening in the future . was i used to say to . i was young. i used to say to my why? and she'd say my mum, why? why and she'd say because wives tail because why. wives got long tail basically it because basically they see it because things that is no anxiety. people things with this, no reasoning to it. and i think it's just a situation she found herself and she went along with it. she got taken in by it all. but that doesn't excuse behaviour, but that doesn't mean it's sold you can it's old. it's sold like you can find. but you know the find. yeah, but you know the bike that she was when i went to join the like yeah i get it. she was an yeah had a choice. was an yeah she had a choice. she was. let's see what sam i think obviously lonely at think she obviously lonely at the was in a the time was in she was in a scenario where she was in a straw whereby she nepotistic it was something missing in her life socially. so it's better to look where in her part

look at what where in her part of where she was, what of the world where she was, what it was that was missing these girls that they were so easy to be taken towards be plucked and taken towards this could know, this was like it could you know, it could our it could enhance our understanding of how of how it can deserve can happen. she does not deserve a platform in any shape. but this is this is the channel that always told it's not over. right no. horrific. yeah, but nobody's saying platform we're saying that does she deserve for what she's done and in particular she deserve a taxpayers or funded platform that we as a licence fee as a licence fee payer i'm paying fee as a licence fee payer i'm paying that thing and i'm expecting to show me expecting them to show me neutrality. so don't want to hear something that starts off telling not telling that she's not a monster. was neutral. i monster. and that was neutral. i think that shows a bias think for me that shows a bias already say preston, and it is now pre—programmed for me to believe that. she's not a bad guy. it'sjust believe that. she's not a bad guy. it's just that that is just a title. i think. not a title, no. in order to in order to get obviously a measure. but we'd have to listen to the end. but the fact is that is the title. yes. which is currently which is when say about it now, which

obviously they right obviously means they pick right time. it means i'm time. no, it means it means i'm not happy licence fee not happy with my licence fee money things that but money going to things that but she's going to pay those and the bbc the bbc are exploiting us and i certainly i'm happy to rip up my tv but honestly i'm absolutely sussed it. they've given us this platform because she's been so in this way. and i understand we want to hear a balanced view on a story, but not hers. and if me , the last not hers. and if me, the last thing i did . yeah, i just feel thing i did. yeah, i just feel that there are things that. yes, the bbc i'd like to see the bbc doing global things and bringing news globally, but not shamed. people have been shamed and being thrown out of this country to hear them almost begging to come exactly. this is come back. exactly. but this is but a story we all but this is a story that we all about. was obviously quite about. it was obviously quite a few ago. is interesting few years ago. it is interesting and like you, for example , you and like you, for example, you had angie tate on this channel and he's come and he's currently, you know, trying answer crimes he's answer for whatever crimes he's done. his he hasn't been done. why was his he hasn't been listening to you but he no, no hold on let just roll back let's

not comparison. that's very different that's something that they should he hasn't been convicted anything. you know, as far know and so that is far as we know and so that is really not for us to be judging that. of course i'm not i'm not judging i'm just i'm judging that's all i'm just i'm just that there are that just saying that there are that potentially things potentially have done bad things but know this is after but we didn't know this is after the this is we don't know that and this is after event in and this is after the event in any but we don't know that any case. but we don't know that we know what she's doing. we know doing. a know what she's doing. she's a calculating girl. spinning calculating girl. she's spinning the i'm the the hard luck story. i'm the victim back to live in victim to come back to live in this which would then this country, which would then cost us, the taxpayers loads of money she's cost us, the taxpayers loads of mterrorist. she's cost us, the taxpayers loads of mterrorist. would she's cost us, the taxpayers loads of mterrorist. would you she's cost us, the taxpayers loads of mterrorist. would you want she's cost us, the taxpayers loads of mterrorist. would you want to ie's a terrorist. would you want to living next? don't door living next? don't you door anymore? there is. oh, please have monitor the cost of have to monitor the cost of living cost of living at the high cost of living at the high cost of living except abuse and surely no allowed to speak about it. you can speak about, but not on the bbc. all i'm saying. the bbc. that's all i'm saying. well listen, this show is nothing without you your nothing without you and your views great views let's welcome our great britain's is your britain's voice is your opportunity on the show opportunity to be on the show and what you think about and tell what you think about the topics we're discussing well i this oh i wish we had over to this oh prince to go to sort of leave

sympathy for and sorry. no, i don't. i never will. no, many of you, thank you very much, leigh harris. processing of course, as even harris. processing of course, as ever. lovely to talk you. and right now, some breaking news we're over to bethany we're to head over to bethany elsey . nana. we're to head over to bethany elsey. nana. thank you. some breaking in the last few minutes for people including a seven year old girl have been injured in shooting outside a funeral in north london. that's according to the metropol police. the incident on phoenix road in nonh incident on phoenix road in north west london. police say initial inquiries suggest the shots were fired from a moving vehicle, which then drove off from the scene. three women aged 48, 54 and 41 were taken to hospital . their injuries 48, 54 and 41 were taken to hospital. their injuries are 48, 54 and 41 were taken to hospital . their injuries are not hospital. their injuries are not thought to be life threatening. a seven year old girl had been taken to a central london hospital with injuries that are believed to have been sustained the same incident. but her condition is currently unknown . condition is currently unknown. police say no arrests have yet

sensation. the body language guy hessel said make a success will give us the latest on the fallout with harry. but fallout with prince harry. but first, got a short .

hello. good afternoon. this is gb views where live on tv and on digital radio a queer now there's always something going on in the royal household and this week has been no different. it's been a big week for harry appearing on numerous interviews , releasing his new books fair. he even told the telegraph that he has more still to come for a second book and that he has had to decide what to not in it each saturday. i always to give you a rundown. so who to delve into this tiny youtube sensation the body language haskell and recaps ruckus ross even he joins me now alongside angela levin. so has us thank you very much for joining me rest easier was i so

there you go hello down and thanks for having me here. well it's good to see well this this this week has as been flaming in with harry's despair book and the interviews of tom brady and anderson cooper been a lot of talk inside on his body language. he looks very confident it looks like he is sure about he's put it the book and we already know what he had put into books so well this is a bit trouble the two clips that i sent you that i would to show to our beloved audience. mhm oh i will as soon as we get the first. now this, is, this the interview with prince harry when he's discussing his sit down with oprah. right. let's have a look at it the oprah interview you accuse members of your family of racism, you don't even read well of the british read it well of the british press that right . yes. well press said that right. yes. well this is funny because the first reaction is if tom bradby said,

you see that he is so startled. like what i know what you're talking about. everybody knows that in the oprah interview, there was, this accusation of there was, this accusation of the royal as a racist and. how do we say that? no, there was something made up by the british media. and then there's this confusion . and you can see that confusion. and you can see that harry has this this smug face, like being proud that he is telling the story like it is . telling the story like it is. and this is something that narcissists to get off balance like confuse use your perception of reality know everybody knows what we heard on that interview and that oprah interview and. now, harry is trying to rewrite narrative it using the gaslighting directly to the face of tom bradby. that obviously did not expect that answer he's throwing tom bradby under the bus. i mean, tom bradby sort of couldn't then ask, but i thought you said because they're supposed to be sort of friends and that wouldn't look good. i mean. well got another clip now.

yes this is the interview when harry mentions regarding his child meghan never the racist . child meghan never the racist. she said there were troubling comments about she believes about his skin colour right. so here two things happened that he says never said they were racist and well technically harry is right not meghan and harry said direct a royal family is racist . that is not how language works . or you can imply something and well, they actually received the ripple of hope award . thanks ripple of hope award. thanks thanks to their fighting, they structural racism of the royal . structural racism of the royal. so if they were not saying how do they accept that war is something that she is trying to address ? and another thing this address? and another thing this clip is that he says that they were talking about his colour. he says she is implying archie but nobody has mentioned archie

. it looks like he had practised this answer. so times he knows that he knew that this question was to pop up so . he practised was to pop up so. he practised this answer so many times. so homeless answer out magically said here's a skin colour. and i say archie's skin colour because he had he had been archie had not been a mentioned yet. do you see that, harry? it looks white, a bit arrogant. his chin is a bit up . he has this contempt bit up. he has this contempt smile at times. i think he's very proud of what is inside the book. i think that someone else wrote we don't he has he had a ghost—writer we can wonder how i got made those line of the frozen toddler and all that stuff but how harry looks with what is doing well it does doesn't it? well, listen, let's

bnng doesn't it? well, listen, let's bring angela leavitt in on this, because harry's been been busy again in writing stuff. we get involved in the daily telegraph. what angela what is what is going on here? yes i mean, it's very interesting because what he says in the telegraph is that his big aim is to curtail totally the royal family, having any connection with the press . any connection with the press. and in that way, he will save them. and he's saying with the utmost hypocrisy , because he had utmost hypocrisy, because he had three full pages in the telegraph today . so it means telegraph today. so it means that it's fine for me , but not that it's fine for me, but not for you. i mean, it's an astonishing comment. i think he's now very towards the royal family he can't be trusted and blackmailing them. yes, he threatening that he would come with another book. he's got 400 pages he could write and this will really shock them . yeah. will really shock them. yeah. and i think as well his comment that he wants to take over bringing charlotte and louis the

two who won't be the monarch and so that they don't end up like him and he admits that william has said to him , he's told me has said to him, he's told me it's none of my business. but actually it's very and he's also said that i will forgive them if they sit down and chat and apollo to meghan and i mean this is this is the telegraph is the paper here in the uk and basically harry's written and then he said that he's going to forgive them. he was prepared to forgive them. he was prepared to forgive if they apologised. forgive them if they apologised. is classic narcissistic behaviour . is classic narcissistic behaviour. yes is classic narcissistic behaviour . yes this the is classic narcissistic behaviour. yes this the way to spin completely 180 degrees. the narrative so it's like they make all this shenanigans they do this this on the media they this with their actions and they try to make it seem like it was you the ones is guilty of all this thatis the ones is guilty of all this that is classic a classic tactic of a spin in the narrative that

you accuse them of something. and no, they spin it that way. of course blame the victim. and thatis of course blame the victim. and that is something harry has been doing better every time when he has. but he's. doing better every time when he has. but he's . yes, the thing has. but he's. yes, the thing is, you don't his playing victim , his being a bully. i mean, he said that the if he goes to the coronation, it will be in the royal family's place to make the decision but he will only it if they sit down if go through everything if they talk through now that's a nonsense. they can't do that because he's got 3000 complaints written that he wants to go through . and if they wants to go through. and if they say one thing, he's going to burst and do more and more and more and more. i mean, it's very difficult for the royal family. but i now think he a danger and they have take care to themselves from his nonsense lives in california how can he

look after a managed the royal family couldn't anyway but it is absolute thrush it is absolute force it really is . well it's it force it really is. well it's it has us and make us us as the language guy people can find him on youtube. he's a sensation . on youtube. he's a sensation. he's got so much out there. i love him. so thank you so much for joining us. thank you. thank forjoining us. thank you. thank you . yeah. let's get back to you. yeah. so let's get back to andrew. think then? andrew. what do you think then? so thoughts then on this so final thoughts then on this then. would you go on to harry he's you think he's as i said before , i think he's very unwell before, i think he's very unwell . i think he's learning answers to questions and putting them there. i mean, at the end of his book he says that he wasn't getting any any redundancy money. now that's absolutely astonishing thing it's in the last two or three pages this is a mega income because she said if you remember soon after she went and did engage months that she was astonished. she wasn't paid for it. so the thinking of the royal family like a company and therefore after he served them for six years you should do

principal. okay. so you were in charge of that part. of it. right. so i'd reasonable contact with all the officers, with all the that were going through their training throughout my penod their training throughout my period of time, there . and so period of time, there. and so you met harry and william. yes. of talk to me . what was william of talk to me. what was william like? because everyone's talking about harry. but what was william like? william was studious and capable , personable studious and capable, personable , polite, mannered and focussed on what he was doing at the time . and harry. harry was , fairly . and harry. harry was, fairly much the same. a bit more raucous . you you know, he would raucous. you you know, he would he would get involved with the soldiers a bit more he would play soldiers a bit more he would play about joke with them a bit more than his than his brother. but they were both fine young men. young men . now, in but they were both fine young men. young men. now, in harry's book, he talks about, you know, he he says that he his number was 25 and he sort of like it into pieces on a chessboard. is that you talk in the military

the absolute you know, i mean , the absolute you know, i mean, my good old friend tim collins, colonel tim collins. yes. and royal irish regiment called him immediately on this. it is disgraceful behaviour . i've in a disgraceful behaviour. i've in a number of conflicts where where the enemy have met their end . of the enemy have met their end. of course you fight hard . there you course you fight hard. there you go. and that's what we're there to do. but as soon as the is dead they get the utmost respect . they are they are buried with you reverence in accordance with their their laws and their religion . and there's no religion. and there's no gloating . quite frankly, there's gloating. quite frankly, there's no time for . and to talk about no time for. and to talk about soldiers, the taliban, who fighting for their cause , to fighting for their cause, to speak about them as chess pieces that you just knock off a bored bored . i'm that you just knock off a bored bored. i'm i'm that you just knock off a bored bored . i'm i'm bewildered that

bored. i'm i'm bewildered that he that it would come to that . he that it would come to that. you know i'm in harry's defence as well. he didn't say that he was bragging in the book he said he said his number. is that something that people would do with. people say their number. no. there's scoring like that. it's first of all, i don't even how you would count that . you how you would count that. you know, in in my own tank in the war, there were a number engagements on on armour and in trenches . you know, when you've trenches. you know, when you've had a kill, you know when you have. but there is no, there's no notch in it. it's just bad behaviour . no notch in it. it's just bad behaviour. there's no notching up anything . your rifle butt or up anything. your rifle butt or anything like that . and there's anything like that. and there's been a lot of criticism terms that this could inflame the taliban, obviously. and make you make country a less safe country . and also potentially the carnage, the target is justified . well, look , harry has been . well, look, harry has been quite vocal about protecting his

family and that's fine. but then to out with this revelation , 25 to out with this revelation, 25 taliban dead is probably a whisker away from mufti putting a fatwa on him. so i would say he hasn't done himself or this country or other british members of the armed forces any favours at. all. and then you did why do you think that you became so outspoken and about all of this? heavensi outspoken and about all of this? heavens i mean, this is difficult , but before get to the difficult, but before get to the why . i think it's worth just why. i think it's worth just reminding people that every soldier who gets an attestation . no, no, a solemn oath to the sovereign when they join the armed forces . now, harry, of armed forces. now, harry, of course , a member of the royal course, a member of the royal family. so you would think that that would mean something. it would appear that he's completely railed against that oath. and remember that oath is

given in many occasions with the thought a divine presence witnessing it. and to against it in the way he has is, quite frankly, on believable as to the why heavens, who knows ? all i why heavens, who knows? all i could say is it would never have happened without meeting meghan markle . that's my view on it . markle. that's my view on it. and there's the people that served with them and alongside them . are they at risk in any them. are they at risk in any way ? he's disclosed a number and way? he's disclosed a number and obviously, you know, it wouldn't be difficult to work out who was around him and who. i think he's just made the environment less for everybody. that is the armed forces and sadly, possibly for his own family. it's very worrying indeed. talk me about what your what you're now you still training soldiers or what was your role. i left the armed forces 12 years ago, but but a bit involved. i just got back last from baghdad when i was

helping the embassy . try and get helping the embassy. try and get the ministry of interior for the government of to understand the required and to have a strategic itake required and to have a strategic i take a strategic view on what they call rumours, but they mean disinfo mount information . and disinfo mount information. and misinformation . so i mean i keep misinformation. so i mean i keep an eye on it all. i'm clearly interested in, you know, the geopolitical end of things but no longer with the military. now in view what you think with regard to the royal family do you think they will survive this latest onslaught from prince harry? the royal family have for over a millennia and of course, they will survive this. i mean, they will survive this. i mean, they must be at their wits end, they must be at their wits end, the way in which harry is behaving . you if i was to give behaving. you if i was to give harry any advice , i would go harry any advice, i would go latin on him and say for a sliver of it , the truth, harry sliver of it, the truth, harry will set you free and, you know,

a the behaviour that he's demonstrating requires possibly some surgery in his head . you some surgery in his head. you know, for me i'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal he needs to wise up . he frontal he needs to wise up. he needs to get a grip of himself and just remember where where he came from and who he is and behave more accordingly . this came from and who he is and behave more accordingly. this is lovely to talk to you as we really interested to meet you as well, because i've actually met both and what you've done in yourin both and what you've done in your in your career, this one that you'd pass to people i suppose, you know, with the army the way it is now, as well as the way it is now, as well as the would you ever perhaps be part of people, especially might be watching, wanting to be people watching, wanting to join all the join the army? well the all the armed forces is a fantastic place for young men and women go to. they imbue them a sense of decency , the whole set of values decency, the whole set of values that will serve them throughout life . and so for anybody that life. and so for anybody that thinking about the armed forces, i would absolutely applaud that

there is no greater service that anybody could than go to the armed forces . well, it's also armed forces. well, it's also with regard to how. yeah, let's be fair. you know, he's probably he's probably trying to fix the situation that he believes you no doubt he needs any sort of surgery in terms of lobotomies and things like that. so you know, he's not here to defend . know, he's not here to defend. so we'll take that so we'll know. we'll take that back. but the bottom line is something he to sort of try and fix his family fix things with his family without of a doubt. he without a shadow of a doubt. he needs to be be stop needs to he needs to be be stop writing books get on with his life. he remember, he walked away from his family and royal duties. that's his decision . i duties. that's his decision. i salute him. if that's what he wants to do and get on and do that. but it clearly is clearly very hurt about, not about being spare. well, you know i would say that for most people that would be good enough. well, i take any day spare to the heir to the throne. i'll be more than happy. i'd be like a i'd take that. i need to make sure. thank

you very much for joining. pleasure. thank you. that is major mike sarah. he's a former military. this is a dvd. major mike sarah. he's a former military. this is a dvd . coming military. this is a dvd. coming up is the great british debate houn up is the great british debate hour. i'm asking is zero a scam? this comes as the rising cost of free charging electric vehicles has now surpassed the cost of petrol. who knew would happen? and when it comes to long haul journeys as well as the cost of net zero, it is now estimated to become for households in become double for households in britain. dad, britain. boris johnson's dad, stanley and physicist stanley johnson and physicist engineer brian cap will go head to head in the studio on this very issue after this show, whether . hello there. i'm craig whether. hello there. i'm craig and here's the latest forecast from . the met office. well after from. the met office. well after we lose the wind rain today a change is on the way it's going to start to turn a good deal. co two for all of us with an increase in risk of snow especially as we go into next. here's the situation however, the moment still got low pressure dominating. the british isles packed ice isles and tightly packed ice about northern ireland about across northern ireland and indicating and northern england, indicating some very weather still as some very windy weather still as we through of

we go through the rest of saturday. otherwise, as we go into tonight, mixture of clear spells showers for a lot of england . wales we do have this england. wales we do have this band of rain and hail, snow just sinking its way into parts of northern ireland and northern england as the night goes on. but for scotland it turns colder. risk of some further snow showers and also some ice on untreated surfaces . so on untreated surfaces. so overall, sunday's going to be a cold day for all of us. really we continue to track this band, rain, hail, snow across england , wales, weakening as it does so behind it, plenty of sunshine still the risk of some wintry showers . scotland and quite keen showers. scotland and quite keen wind here so feeling very cold. hi struggling around 2 to 4 degrees here for the afternoon further south around where we should be for the time of year but feeling a bit colder than what we been used to. and then into the evening we start to see bands of rain and showers moving in from the west as it bumps into the air. could see some sleet and snow especially of course parts of wales, the midlands and later on in

midlands and then later on in the night, which keeping a the night, which is keeping a very on. this band of very close eye on. this band of rain may just move into parts of south—east england, even given some snow the high some sleet and snow to the high ground by the end of the ground here by the end of the night. cold night for all, night. a cold night for all, especially scotland, could especially for scotland, could even eight even see those down minus eight or ten in a few spots. and or minus ten in a few spots. and then south, once we lose this rain really is a day of spells and a few wintry. rain really is a day of spells and a few wintry . and that theme and a few wintry. and that theme then continues into tuesday and wednesday widespread frost by night the further risk of some snow .

at good afternoon it's coming up to 23 minutes after 5:00. this is gb news. on to the online and on digital radio i'm nana akua . it digital radio i'm nana akua. it is now time for our great british debate this hour. and i'm asking is nick zero a scam?

the expert has revealed that the price of reaching net zero will cost households at double the amount estimates in the government review formats . government review formats. minister chris skidmore produced report which said that households the transition to a net home could save . between net home could save. between £406,000 through buying electric cars and replacing boilers. but only after spending around . 4 to only after spending around. 4 to £6000 on improving their homes. environment and the environmental standards. however. david rayner is an assistant director of the university of cambridge's energy policy research group said the costs to households are likely to be at least double as the report figures. so comes with the cost of topping up in electric car for long haul journeys. now nearly electric car for long haul journeys. now nearl y £10 more journeys. now nearly £10 more expensive than filling car expensive than filling a car with petrol. and that is according to the rac the cost of charging an electric is charging an electric car is increased by since may and increased by 58% since may and it back from the south london council. democrats sadiq

council. liberal democrats sadiq khan remains adamant to his ultra low emission zones across all 32 london boroughs, with the most polluting required to pay £12.50 per day to drive in the caphal £12.50 per day to drive in the capital. so it's a great british debate this i'm asking, is net zero a scam? joining me live in the studio, engineer and physicist brian cat and for the conservative environment network and former mep stanley johnson. right. so i'm going to start with you, stanley. zero, a lot of people questioning it and saying it's going to be way too expensive and the cost will outweigh the benefit. is it, in your view, a scam? well, i say to myself , net zero, 2050 is to myself, net zero, 2050 is a very long way away and i am much more attractive as an extra target if i what the you, by the way, is going for the metro, which at least reductions of 55% by by 2030 because it's this very decade , we are in the very decade, we are in the crucial action has to be so far from net zero being a scam . i

from net zero being a scam. i say net zero to 50 is actually not not energising enough that we ought to be focusing. also on the near—term. no, it's not a scam. it's tremendously important. and you mentioned skidmore. that man is a good and by the way, he was one of the first people to come out of ehhen first people to come out of either, as i recall, supporter of truss and have the of liz this truss and have the best possible leanings but she did up his report and he has produced his report and i have looked at 364 pages of it and it is going down the right direction , going down the right direction, going down the right track because we now at a time a time where it's finally having all these targets, targets of desperately important, unless you can actually how you're going to get from a to b, you might as well not have the targets at all. and what skidmore has done is give us some real guidance as to some real good guidance as to how from a b, but some how to get from a to b, but some of the moves towards net zero is, example, electric is, for example, electric vehicles they're vehicles and they're they're more than anything more expensive now than anything a petrol not the carbon footprint an electric vehicle footprint of an electric vehicle is and what can is huge. you know. and what can i 70,000 miles and then

i do? 70,000 miles and then built the we need to built the time we need to replace it hasn't even really replace it it hasn't even really put the carbon it's put back in the carbon it's taken of us. is you taken out of us. this is you know, not getting know, we're not getting anywhere. doesn't yet, but anywhere. it doesn't yet, but the costs are there. but what you what think about is what is the cost of not going down this route ? do you see what i mean? route? do you see what i mean? we have to contemplate really the costs of the scenarios we have.if the costs of the scenarios we have. if we don't get where we're trying, where trying to get away with what you've got internationally as. well well, let's get broadcasting on this then. just following on then. well, just following on from the conversation, rather than, be going to than, what i must be going to say , the amount of change that say, the amount of change that we are expecting to see is tiny . we're talking fractions of a degree that anything the uk does can can actually make it to the massive effect around the whole world that's required . you're world that's required. you're looking at, i think the number the ipcc using the ipcc numbers have to spend £1,000,000,000,000 for each millionth a degree that

the child. the climate is changed by so there's virtually no benefit to be had by spending at the moment we're about 20 billion per annum directly that's imposed by law . we need that's imposed by law. we need an otherwise spend that be spent productively rather than wastefully on things like heat pumps and, electric cars and, about 60 billion indirectly is the number that i have. so why would we be spending all money? not we want to, but because we're told to. by law it's behaviour change, which means we'll make a well. you are going to say. what a lovely, lovely to be here with you. but honestly you are talking out of your head . you're really on the money which was promised . and in 2015 which was promised. and in 2015 was a hurriedly us dollars a target which they had to get you know how much we spend dealing with code. we spent $400 billion

on dealing with . then you might on dealing with. then you might well have a question . if you well have a question. if you were sceptical about covid, i'd with you all the way. now the point is the money is actually nothing. nothing like you. what you were saying the money doable. it's a tiny fraction what needs to be spent . and if what needs to be spent. and if you look at the approach from which for example, the climate change committee has set out the carbon budget is absolutely achievable. on your point, we a tiny part. well, of course for any tiny part because we're not just country but link for in example with the 27 countries in the eu have a very good strategy as well bring together on that and we are a significant player. we're not as big as america. we're not as big as america. we're not as big as america. we're not just because china, but we're probably a third in the row, not china's going to double its emissions, 11 gigatons to 22 gigatons between now and 2030. and we they emit, what, 20 times more than we do . what, 20 times more than we do. so our effect is going to be

effectively nothing immeasurable . we are part of a wider group of nations, and together we are by no means immeasurable . and by no means immeasurable. and evenin by no means immeasurable. and even in china bear in where china came from. china came from a very low level of development . we got to that low level. we past that level 100 years ago. china has every right to develop its country and it is exacting and using that right. its country and it is exacting and using that right . and if you and using that right. and if you look at the per capita emissions from china, they are also both the point . what's the point the point. what's the point there? because as brian pointed out the difference that it will make it in terms of the climate is , it doesn't even make is, it doesn't even make anything we marginal like tiny it won't be marginal. and no registro will be large if the eu and the west countries work together, if joins in, if china joins in, there will be scope for some developments in the developing world which they basically haven't and basically need and will keep on the

pathway . if not 1.5, it's less pathway. if not 1.5, it's less than two degrees by all i would say. is that in order to be a developed economy , you need to developed economy, you need to have cheap , plentiful energy. if have cheap, plentiful energy. if you make your energy expensive and rationed by metres or smart metres or whatever it is you are heading straight back to where china is trying to come from. it's that simple and that's happenedin it's that simple and that's happened in our economy. that's why our economies going into backward, reverse gear really fast. well, mark i don't know whether you've been looking at the figures the last few weeks, the figures the last few weeks, the percentage of energy coming from wind power been very high over the last few , you know, and over the last few, you know, and it's also been lower. the duty cycle is about 29% for wind power and it can't much higher because if you to put intermittent power at any higher level on the grid, you start anything and by technicalities , anything and by technicalities, we all know it's a mixture of

sources of energy which you're trying to put on the market. obviously, renewables is one key, but another thing which skidmore picks up on in a very big way, was the need to push hard on a nuclear france and i agree with that there was a reason that it should all be nuclear and the anomaly that he pushes for what's called modular modular which of the modular which is sort of the point would you agree on that point is would you agree on that that the point about was if you want what is if you want to get there quickly, you need to buy there quickly, you need to buy the south. the third generation stuff south korea and stuff from south korea and westinghouse, which is where everybody in the world everybody else in the world is. but got but but until we've got but ultimately is going to cost ultimately this is going to cost a this this whole even a fortune this this whole even people the money people don't have the money right so of right now to do this so of course actually , the difference course actually, the difference doesn't like it's making doesn't seem like it's making much of a difference. it feels like of the things we're like some of the things we're doing almost backward step. so you point take your you i take your point take your point totally basically what's to happen i got into trouble on this program before saying what's going happen. it's going to be a sector by sector targets. there will be sector by

sector targets and there'll be some targets which will be the energy within energy sector. and within that energy sector. and within that energy household sector. energy will be household sector. and be cases where and there will be cases where certainly will certainly the government will want paying different want to be paying different forms of in households, different forms insulation, that kind of thing. that is what government expenditure is going to be needed for. what do you buy really ? i don't think that buy really? i don't think that the government should be in the business of imposing solutions on people that they would not normally choose to buy with their own money. so. so in your view is net zero eskom. yes family fun. what is net zero eskom yes or no? it is absolutely no discount is absolutely no discount is absolutely not a scam. well what do you think? home. thank you so much to engineer physicist brian cat and best of our network and former mep stanley johnson. thank you very for joining me. there's still time now. let's have a quick look at what you've been saying. peggy says net zero is scam and said so and is a total scam and said so and says it is a and a scam to the working john says biggest scam

net zero for the working class will be the only. well you with me on the nana akua. this is good. he's on tv online and on digital where they're coming up we'll continue margaret that is debate asking is net debate this i'm asking is net a scam you ever thought of my panel scam you ever thought of my panel, sam and lizzie candy. but first, let's get the latest news headunes. first, let's get the latest news headlines . nana, thank you. good headlines. nana, thank you. good evening . it'sjust on headlines. nana, thank you. good evening . it's just on 5:30. headlines. nana, thank you. good evening . it'sjust on 5:30. i'm evening. it's just on 5:30. i'm bethany elsey in the gb newsroom. the metropolitan police say four people, including a seven year old girl have been injured . a shooting have been injured. a shooting outside a funeral in north—west london. initial enquiries suggest the shots were fired . a suggest the shots were fired. a moving vehicle on phoenix road. three women aged 41, 48 and 54 were taken to hospital. their injuries are not thought to be life threatening, but the 41 year old has suffered life changing injuries. a seven year old girl has been taken to hospital with injuries believed to have been sustained in the

same incident. her condition is currently unknown. police say no arrests have yet been made . the arrests have yet been made. the uk has sanctioned iran's prosecutor general following . prosecutor general following. the execution of a british iranian national in iran. ali akbari was sentenced death on charges of spying for britain. the prime minister rishi sunak distraught, described the action as callous and cowardly . as callous and cowardly. meanwhile, iran's state media is reporting the british ambassador has summoned to iran's foreign ministry , which is accusing ministry, which is accusing britain of meddling in national security. well cleverly says the government is treating the iranian government's actions very seriously. i found out earlier this morning from the officials in tehran that this had taken place. of course, i filled with a with a revulsion that i think any reasonable person would have . that is why person would have. that is why we have taken this decisive action. that is why we've made it clear that our response will not necessarily be limited to the measures that we have

announced today . we take this announced today. we take this incredibly seriously . a union incredibly seriously. a union representing ambulance workers has written to the minister saying they feel betrayed by attempts to paint them as uncaring. gmb, which more than 10,000 ambulance staff told rishi sunak he was demonising them over strike. it comes after mr. sunak told the commons that industrial action was terrifying the public . you're up to date on the public. you're up to date on tv online and ddb plus radio. this is gb news. we'll get back to nana in just a moment.

good afternoon. welcome board. this is news just gone 37 minutes after 5:00. i'm nana ak where we are the people's channel and it's time now for our great british debate hour and i'm asking is net a scam.

former science minister chris beckett produced a report which said oh, you know what's wrong with that. well you said that households that transition to net home can save between £406,000 for buying electric cars. right. yes. and replacing boilers. but that is only after spending around about 4 to £6000. so if you work that out. net zero. that's sort of improving their homes environmental standards. however, david, who is the assistant director of the university of cambridge's energy research group, said that costs to households are likely be at least double as the report . and least double as the report. and this comes as the cost of topping up the electric car for long haul journeys is nearly £10 more expensive now than filling your petrol car so the great budget debate this i'm asking is net zero eskom let's see what panel make of that. i'm joined now by broadcast veteran journalist lizzie cundy and also political commentator sam dowler . right. so i'm going to start

with you, lizzie, is net zero a scam? yes it is a scam, diana. that's your head. sam for the sake of my is a total scam. it's the poor are getting poor and the poor are getting poor and the rich are getting richer. let's do what we want to start with this? the car. let's go with this? the car. let's go with it. i cost an absolute fortune and they are pushing and pushing this electric cars and it's more money to buy but to go on a long journey it costs you far more to do this and does on unleaded . we have to you know unleaded. we have to you know what what is this we now have in gas boilers you no gas boilers in ten years we all walk and i have a heat pump which is going to cost us up to 4000 to £6000 a household . i mean, how is this household. i mean, how is this it might be great for rishi or for the mayor of london who can afford but not the everyday person cannot afford. this is a total con and it's not going to make a difference because you look at all carbon emissions, which is 1% though, and look at

look at india china produces 29.8. the united states, 40 said india 7.9. and china can't even get round the table to talk . so get round the table to talk. so it won't make a difference. sam is a childish argument to say, well, they're not it, so we shouldn't say global is a global issue that is there is that going to bring humanity to knees?i going to bring humanity to knees? i mean, climate change is it's not it's not a joke. like, you know, like and affects the poorest people , the whole world. poorest people, the whole world. so like us about like, of course , you know, some things like electric cars are getting more expensive, etc. but like, you know, we're in a period of transition like in my mind, they should like, you know like should be like, you know like square of solar panels . the square of solar panels. the sahara desert could, could , sahara desert could, could, could solve the world's energy tomorrow . this could solve the world's energy tomorrow. this is so important mean. i don't i'm not saying i don't say agree with anything like extinction rebellion ever did, etc. but like they are they do they do have they do a point. we will all it. it's not to do

with us. it's not to do because it's about it's about our grandkids who will who will have to suffer the consequences of that. that depends on whether. now, listen, climate change is happening, will happening, but the climate will change case, whatever we change in any case, whatever we do the moving living thing. do is the moving living thing. the planet funding pumping thing like fossil fuels , the like fossil fuels, the atmosphere destroying atmosphere and destroying everything is different. everything that is different. but an i they got that wrong, didn't they? because not it's not disappeared. still not disappeared. it's still there. the coral there. and they got the coral reefs as well. like one reefs wrong as well. like one thing that has many times thing that brian has many times to me is that there's something called if you take called feedback. so if you take out dioxide, what out the carbon dioxide, what what does it have? what is the outcome? the ricochet outcome? what is the ricochet that there ? and that happens from there? and that's that they don't that's the thing that they don't appear thing. so appear to be calculate thing. so we need the levels carbon we may need the levels of carbon dioxide we need, what off dioxide that we need, what off the carbon dioxide and that's humanity. i think we need to humanity. so i think we need to be we fully understand , be we don't fully understand, don't does. there's don't think anyone does. there's no at the they fully no at the time they fully understand the whole thing because believe it because i couldn't believe it and think that sometimes you don't think of the after an action need to be action. i think we need to be very careful because planet

very careful because the planet needs carbon dioxide and there are things we're to are some things that we're to take we're going to take away we're going to put something in the place that are worse. and that's what i believe in. electric taking in. electric cars, you're taking away fuels. okay you're away fossil fuels. okay you're going in electric cars, going to put in electric cars, but currently the but you're currently using the electricity electric car electricity for electric car from now, from fossil. so right now, that's what they're doing and there's more and more there's now more and more people, these cars and they using more energy the using more energy and the batteries and toxic batteries and a toxic everybody's now using electricity from electricity and it's mostly from fossil but we're fossil fuels. yes but we're as i said, we're a period of said, we're in a period of transition technology is moving on rate. and on like at a massive rate. and obviously like getting rid of, for example the garbage that we that we that we that, you know, finding ways to turn into energy like there was why we have to be led we have be led by the led we have to be led by the science and science unlike for example example, was example for example, there was this leaps in nuclear this massive leaps in nuclear fusion which would solve the entire world's energy crisis. so tomorrow, if they if they solved it and this and this, it's so important . all electricity here important. all electricity here is % more expensive than france,

is% more expensive than france, germany . why don't australia at germany. why don't australia at least we to import oil. germany. why don't australia at least we to import oil . on not least we to import oil. on not positive, but let's not worry about the war in ukraine. oh, let's forget about the expense we put in towards covid, where some people have gone for some people would have gone for longer harder, friend longer and harder, like friend keir starmer , you know keir starmer, you know where we'd be in a moment tell me. yeah would be in the mire if these not were in charge. exactly and actually the people voted for brexit. there a majority democracy that's majority it's democracy that's how things in case. how we do things in this case. well i well sorry i'm so i well i mean. well sorry i'm so i know i don't want to talk about brexit. we well, all got like brexit. we well, we all got like i mean, obviously the people that vote for brexit. that did, did vote for brexit. however, however it was thought it was such a fine line that i believe that the lies that were told pushed the other told could have pushed the other way they if they weren't. way if they if they weren't. what you're saying is the british so stupid that we british public so stupid that we can't things that can't see through things that weren't on remain and weren't true both on remain and when didn't when we went the degrees didn't really to sit really genuinely want to sit with rishi because he's a i just don't think they seriously want

a that's why hasn't a brexit that's why it hasn't worked what it hasn't worked as it was. what it hasn't worked. well submitted that worked. well you submitted that nofice worked. well you submitted that notice saying brexit will, but rishi needs to put police finger out and do it the right way. and also you're fighting against people who wanted to get their vote and they didn't get it. so they are literally scuppering every single opportunity and you saw tried to saw even when we tried to actually there were actually brexit, there were people the same in people within the same party in other still trying to come other parts still trying to come up with food collude so that they could then upturn the vote. so we've had all we've got so far, we've had all we've got is negativity from people who don't to work prove don't want it to work to prove that we should have remained. and way eu and frankly, the way the eu behaved covid behaved during the covid pandemic, tried to pandemic, where they tried to stop supplies coming to stop supplies from coming to this country, was disgusting. you that? the that you remember that? the fact that it's fun, we to go it's got to be fun, we to go through other countries but through 36 other countries but it's it was for me i it's a ballsy it was for me i got the vaccine if it was working it was working. think it's cynical believe it's very cynical to believe that that didn't didn't that people that didn't didn't want happen try want brexit to happen would try and trying to and sabotage. we're trying to sabotage what's. sabotage this is sabotage . trying to make it

is sabotage. trying to make it make us. you would want to be correct. you would . i don't correct. you would. i don't think i would see appear to be the case. we really have to continue. i mean, we continue to import our own oil, our gas, you know, coal, oil is well, it's finite. once it's gone, it's gone. that's the end. but actually, you may that there may be some supplies. we haven't found and there may be something you dig deep . well, this is you dig deep. well, this is nothing that you and your views as welcome some of our great british voices opportunities to be on the own. tell us what they think about the topic. well, discussing today got four discussing today i've got four of wonderful right. let's of you. wonderful right. let's start with social media in milton certainly what do milton keynes. certainly what do you think is that zero scam? good evening, nana. thank you for having me on. no i don't think net zero is a scam . and think net zero is a scam. and whether people believe that it is a scam or not, it is really important . achieving net zero is important. achieving net zero is there to reduce global warming amongst many other important reasons. we need to think about the future of our planet, our

children , their children and the children, their children and the that we're going to leave them with in terms of global warming , there's lots of effects of global warming, as you know , the global warming, as you know, the temperature for a while, the oceans looking at getting loss of species , animal species , also of species, animal species, also looking at poverty, mental health and nortje and, also global warming and looking at a fortune that is going to cost us.thank fortune that is going to cost us. thank very much. and that's that's that's good elizabeth she's there and help bring elizabeth rings sorry in elizabeth has rings sorry in cheshire so elizabeth you're a new voice welcome. i did nicely for elizabeth. well welcome. what do you think ? and i think what do you think? and i think i think the idea that that so it a con really depends things like renewable energy for example is quite important it allows for self—service so it places our industries and our people first and it allows us to be self self sufficient against global chains

might be affected by wars like we saw last year with ukraine. but of course you know that's the issue of well if we're going to, you know, transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy , we also have to take the workers into account who may be the displaced and so on. so we should to retrain them and we place them back into these new industries. well, a big issue with with the idea of net zero is electric cost. they're not great they're quite useless, quite frankly . they're bad for quite frankly. they're bad for the environment. they rely on precious metals to a halt to mine on our minds by literally children in third world countries as and they are also expensive average low income house can't afford an electric and they're also only really sufficient in cities and they don't really work if you out in the countryside and so on. a better alternative arguably would be vintage cars if you intend to traditional modern go. well i like that well listen

thank you very much brilliant first time course it's good you get good thank you very much let's go to jonathan . he's there let's go to jonathan. he's there in cornwall. take us into. he's got a cup of tea. there it is. i knew it. jonathan, what do you think it scams. is it? no, no. the thing is, with a scam, it suggests that someone's organising. i it's organising. and i think it's more of up than that. it's not more of a up than that. it's not doesn't seem that well coordinated, but i think i disagree with sam on this because i would say an eco because i would say i'm an eco warrior treehugger much as warrior treehugger as much as anyone. fact, i took your anyone. in fact, i took your point earlier, none it . the point earlier, none of it. the counting , but the counting isn't right, but the sums just don't add up . and if sums just don't add up. and if you think like the whole carbon counting thing is complete wild west, if you talk to scientists about and agree and for about this and agree and for example just take trees, which is my pet thing if you like, we don't know how many trees are or where they are and how can you assess carbon and, do real analysis if you don't even know that basic facts look to pick this up with some talk later about that well we will sam will

do that we'll pick that with you at some point. i love that. jonathan roy lost his sketch element. neil there in grimsby. and what you think is it scam and what do you think is it scam . good afternoon. good afternoon . yes, a lot of it is a scam. i think not to be quite honest , think not to be quite honest, the idea that if we become net zero in the uk that we are going to anyway affect the of the climate and entire world is total our noses when everyone else is ahead together much both in as many fossil fuels used as absolutely possible . what's absolutely possible. what's going to happen is what a number of people have said is the rich are going to get richer and the poor are going to get very, very poon poor are going to get very, very poor. stanley johnson, who you had on there, if you remember last time was off, his last time he was off, his premise was that you're not going to be able to drive, you're not going to able to fly and you're not going to be able to eat meat because eating damages the there's too many ties and you can say this madness starting to spread
