that's so important. it means we can produce more energy here at home, giving us independence and security. and it means we can transition to forms of transition to cleaner forms of energy as we hit our net zero ambitions create jobs in the ambitions and create jobs in the processes we're here processes we're seeing here today. that's why today's changes are really important. we're delivering for we're focussed on delivering for the people and this will the british people and this will help do that. rishi sunak help us do that. rishi sunak talking about his cabinet reshuffle today. you're up to date on tv, online on dab, plus radio. this is gb news. the people's channel. time for far—right . far—right. good evening . well, before we good evening. well, before we start on today's news in westminster, just spare a thought for those poor people suffering in turkey and syria. people trapped in the rubble, cold temperatures, absolute lutely, ghastly . now it may not lutely, ghastly. now it may not seem quite as life threatening, as important as that, but there's been quite a big moment

in the government today . a in the government today. a reshuffle from rishi sunak . now reshuffle from rishi sunak. now dominic is still there . i dominic raab is still there. i promise you for the moment. but a ministry has been created a new ministry has been created and a new party chairman have been place. there were been put in place. there were two takeouts , think, from two big takeouts, i think, from today. the of the today. yes, the of the conservative party is going to be greg hands. oh you've never heard of him. no don't worry. nobody else has either. not exactly a colossus . but grant exactly a colossus. but grant shapps, you will have heard of. and he has got a job heading up a new ministry. now, i've thought for a long time that energy was so strategic , really energy was so strategic, really vital and important that it did deserve its own department. but the job title is really quite extraordinary . the job title is really quite extraordinary. he's going to be the minister for energy security and net zero. now forgive me, but i think the two are completely and utterly encompass possible. the only way the uk can get anywhere near net zero is to reduce none of our own

energy and get rid of pretty every manufacturing job in the country . i do not see how you country. i do not see how you can do both. i think the whole term is an oxymoron. i think one completely contradict the other. but we'll see how grant shapps explains that over the course of the next couple of days. keen to your thoughts? how on earth can your thoughts? how on earth can you do both? have i got it wrong? tell me, farage gb news dot uk. well, joining me to discuss that and much else is the associate editor of the daily mirror, kevin maguire. kevin is this the reshuffle that puts this government back on a firm sound footing ? no, it does firm sound footing? no, it does feel like rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic and the ship is sinking. there's no real excitement around it. i was in westminster. they talked a lot of m.p.s, particularly tory and ps. they were interested in it and what it might mean, but there was very little excited because there big because there are no big personalities coming or no personalities coming in or no change . where the change in ideas. where are the fresh policies? where is the thinking? i mean, the tory

thinking? yeah i mean, the tory party chairman, i mean traditionally, you know, has been big grandee type been a pretty big grandee type figure. i doubt many people pick this bloke out of a line up now he's a former banker , a london he's a former banker, a london mp, he's been a, you know, a minister before . now he's a he's minister before. now he's a he's kind of a safe pair he's probably a terribly good chap. yeah, but not a big figure. no, no, not at all. he's, he's probably there for the blue wall, the southern tory vote, while his deputy lee anderson has been a former coal miner. so this will be that for the red wall. but he could he could just detonate and explode at any moment that lee anderson, you know, has built quite a reputation. you know, he has former miner, former labour man became conservative. brexit was, i think, what sent him more than anything else. journey very house spoken huge fan but yeah difficult to see him lasting in that job. oh no. i mean he's he's an accident waiting to happen. it's only a few days ago, he was comparing the uk

conservatives, his party to the band on the titanic. well does that make him the rock joining the sinking ship? maybe i guess it will turn the all around . i it will turn the all around. i don't know. maybe it'll regain the gas. and he would tweet or email. now net zero. you know, the labor party, your newspaper now very committed to this as as as are many broad sections of media, civil society , political media, civil society, political class, corporate businesses . you class, corporate businesses. you can't have . security net zero can't have. security net zero can't have. security net zero can you. yeah the two are the same because if you if you generate your own energy, nuclear and renewables , i nuclear and renewables, i concede it's a huge push, a lot of investment. it'll take time. you will have security . the lack you will have security. the lack of security , relying on gas , of security, relying on gas, which generates around half of the uk's electricity at the moment , because we see with moment, because we see with putin invading ukraine what can happen to prices and supplies. so if you produce your own clean, green energy, which

nuclear . so clean, green energy, which nuclear. so you're pro—nuclear? yeah. oh, absolutely . it's yeah. oh, absolutely. it's i don't think you could get enough wind turbines. don't think you could get enough wind turbines . do you sense the wind turbines. do you sense the country's come to thinking pro—nuclear. i think i think that's right. about 10% of our electricity at the moment is actually tiny. i mean, we need a british nuclear industry that can build these plants instead of relying on the french the other, which means we import up to 9% of our electricity some days from french more than european production. i mean, you know, the problem with this is that's a very long way off, isn't it? it's yeah, you've got to you're going to still continue burning carbon fuels in the meantime. there's no way around . we fill up my car and around. we fill up my car and i'm using a carbon fuel when i switch on my lights at home, i'm using large only a carbon fuel. but if you have the push, you can get. but if you have the push, you can get . it's interesting can get. it's interesting because people think it's wrong to take energy out of business and industry as a as an area

because , it is so central to because, it is so central to business and an industry. but i think sunak's done this because he wants to focus . he wants he wants to focus. he wants a cabinet minister to just focus relentlessly on. and i think whatever decisions we take in energy, the idea it's a separate department is absolutely right back to the future. it's happened before , but it needed happened before, but it needed to happen. it needs well, i think on balance, it's the right move with net zero carbon is it it's the poor low income people who've been picking up the tab for for well pay price for it for well it's pay a price for it for well it's pay a price for of course we've we've for energy of course we've we've loaded subsidy electricity bills we've done those things we've done all those things you can you can can have social tariffs, you can reduce for people on lower reduce costs for people on lower incomes. you can, for incomes. and you can, for instance, the industry, which is incredibly intensive . so no net incredibly intensive. so no net zero is all about saving the saving the environment, the country and the planet because, you know, global warming, if china played game, if indonesia played the animal, if india played the animal, if india played the animal, if india played the game , you know, we played the game, you know, we are, you know, less than i% of c02. are, you know, less than i% of co2. you're right. but if you go to push for other to change, you

don't have to change yourself. and it's going be better and it will be secure. no, i think the problem is , you know, if you problem is, you know, if you inflict upon yourself an act of absolute industrial self—harm and i would argue to you, you as somebody the north of somebody from the north of england you we've seen so england, you know, we've seen so many refineries, our many of our refineries, our chemical , our chemical factories, our aluminium smelters, they've all closed they nearly all closed steel , redcar, the cheapest steel, redcar, the cheapest electricity now is renewable wind power. all that on a good you can't rely on to and look at that which is why i also back and a lot of other people do now nuclear power welcome round to it it's going to take time change of tack . this is an change of tack. this is an interesting defence. now traditionally in my mind i think of the conservative party being you know very pro the forces very pro—defense. you and i both know but in that last election, jeremy pacifism had no desire for the british army to even continue with its current form this hurt labour in the north,

didn't it? yeah, massively. because as not because he was seen as not patriotic, not supporting the forces. is what people forces. it also is what people saw. also because he attempted to broker what he spoke to republicans ireland, republicans in northern ireland, he as soft the oil he was seen as soft the oil right. of course, know, right. and of course, you know, the forces now are a lot the armed forces now are a lot smaller to be. smaller than they used to be. what you say? so many what do you say? so many veterans around who serve served in in northern ireland, they felt very deeply when . they lost felt very deeply when. they lost rex. right. i mean, you know, we're going back 1990, the first gulf war. the uk has , 1200 gulf war. the uk has, 1200 operational tanks. we're now down to 227. yeah 14 of which will be going out to ukraine and we're projected to go down to 148 over the course of the 12 years under conservative government. our defences, our forces been cut in the most astonishing way. i sort of picked up a sentence of something today, john healey, who's a veteran yorkshire labour mp, shadow defence minister . mp, shadow defence minister. what he said is quite interesting. i think there is an immediate , immediate need for

immediate, immediate need for a stockpile strategy to sustain support for ukraine and really britain . ukraine support for ukraine and really britain. ukraine is support for ukraine and really britain . ukraine is depleting britain. ukraine is depleting our military really. and he goes on. so basically what he's saying is, look, you're well and good say the ukraine have all this kit. yeah we find ourselves completely unable to defend ourselves. is this been very under—reported . i think his under—reported. i think his comments is this going to be a big new push from labour, in your opinion? oh, absolutely. it's a priority. and look, nigel and i are old enough to actually remember the falklands war. there's no way the uk could assemble a of barely got enough ships to fill a bathtub and labour traditionally spent well on defence on conventional weapons nuclear weapons you go utley gave britain nuclear weapons labour prime minister harold wilson extended them trident was approved by blair and brown but the corbyn was it

was a change there's no there's no doubt that was a change in it cos labour there's no way back for it because i'm no. well whenever , whenever starmer is whenever, whenever starmer is accused by rishi sunak . well you accused by rishi sunak. well you were back in corbyn. he can say he will never be a mp again. he's not going to allow and yet sunak do nothing about boris johnson and liz truss was going to stop was taking action. his story quite vital so you and i diametric opposed views of the brexit which we argued and played out many times just about kept it civil. i think interesting financial times today gideon rack one very senior yeah journalist suggesting that the path is open for the uk to rejoin . is that for the uk to rejoin. is that what labour will do to us? no think you can celebrate? and i cheesed off because i think labour's now a brexit party. stoma and david lammy, the shadow foreign secretary , have shadow foreign secretary, have made clear there'll be no real customs union, no re—entry into the single market, no return of

freedom of movement. i think they're wrong on all three anyway. you all. i've got a three that if they really made it suddenly they do what you've made my day. suddenly they do . made my day. suddenly they do. because they said he'd say, well , there is no way you could get anything through parliament either with the votes . yeah. or either with the votes. yeah. or with any legitimacy . you make with any legitimacy. you make clear side of a general election you would not do that. i hope down the line down the line never get me. they never, ever, ever give up. no, but. well, quite right. you never did. so why? why should wait to share. you got me on that. never maguire. thank you anyway. but we're going give you report we're going give you a report from sue reed from the daily mail as to what she's saying, the northern beaches. the northern french beaches. you're be asking you're going to be asking yourself god's name we yourself why in god's name we given the french £180 million to stop people crossing the channel i promise don't go way back i promise you, don't go way back . you in 2 minutes.

so can grant shapps both provide energy security and take us toward net zero. some of your thoughts viewer says he can't do ehhen thoughts viewer says he can't do either. well, that's a bit cynical, isn't it? another said the hint is, in the words ero. ben says one cancels the other so actually he's minister for nil nil lots scepticism about that and you know whatever kevin maguire says about nuclear energy plugging the gap that is at least a decade away we could face many crises now since 2018 with a small boat started openly , visibly crossing the english channel. we successfully given the french extraordinary sums of money. it is now at least the french extraordinary sums of money. it is now at least £180 million that we've given to the french to stop the boats from crossing. and we do from time to

time see of french officers on the beach putting knives into inflatable dinghies. but i have to say . spent much time inflatable dinghies. but i have to say. spent much time on this , you know, on the english channel filming this. but somebody who spent more time on this subject , me especially this subject, me especially investigators , editor of daily investigators, editor of daily mail, sue reid . and so you've mail, sue reid. and so you've been back across the channel towards dunkirk, calais . what towards dunkirk, calais. what have you discovered about the french efforts ? help us. well, french efforts? help us. well, i found absolutely the opposite happening . i found what i think happening. i found what i think is probably the biggest scandal yet last november , we gave is probably the biggest scandal yet last november, we gav e £63 yet last november, we gave £63 million to the to french beef up border controls . and they in the border controls. and they in the last years have spen t £52 last years have spent £52 million on three buses, which i discovered are cow thousands migrants from that camp to the beach, free buses , free buses. beach, free buses, free buses. so you can get on bus in northern france for free? yes.

in dunkirk , it's like a pioneer in dunkirk, it's like a pioneer city for free bus travel, but they're not sticking in dunkirk, going 30, 11 miles, one way and four miles the other. another was to the very beaches they can take the migrants to the very beaches that the french we're paying beaches that the french we're paying the french to patrol . so paying the french to patrol. so you don't need to show a french id card to get on the bus. you just climb on. and i did it ten days ago and wish showing pictures of it. we're showing pictures of it. we're showing pictures of it. we're showing pictures of this as we're talking. so get on this bus and it's full of. predominantly young men and they're coming 99. it was a so one french lady with a baguette in her shopping bag a couple of school students and me, everyone else . it was a my me, everyone else. it was a my daughter a young male migrant afghani. i and iraqi .a few afghani. i and iraqi. a few indian literally every seat was

taken on both occasions . i did taken on both occasions. i did the journey. mum was 38 stops. i got the last seat so we're literally or the french are literally or the french are literally busing seeing them from the camps from the camps in dunkirk straight to the beaches where. they then take our money to patrol the beaches, but even more phenomenally when they caught them, we watched them and, photographed them, catching one not on the beach. what did they do with them? they put them on the return for you . savage on the return for you. savage back to that camp led so they could start again . so they can could start again. so they can come back the next day. well the next evening, in an hour's time, these buses are going round like every time menus. so the french i mean, you're basically saying that through this free bus service, the french are aiding and abetting the criminal traffickers . you also show me

traffickers. you also show me and we showed the pictures, holes in the fences that had been made by traffickers where they can get out of get off the bus stop the beach. they run . bus stop the beach. they run. and i followed them and they went through a deliberately cut hole in a and a wire fence over where we line through some thorough, straight and straight to the beach and those were the same people who we saw half an hour later collected by the french. and on that occasion taken back an extraordinary ops. this should enrage people , i this should enrage people, i think, because because as you say, we keep these charges a 40, 50, £60 million to the french and they should not be subsidising free bus travel the beaches. i do think honestly 99% of the people we are seeing coming in into dover this week will have caught a bus from the grandstand camp to the beaches a free bus in other ones, the french are ferrying them to the beach is where we then take our money to patrol the beaches .

money to patrol the beaches. it's a farce. i mean, it's worse than that. i mean, it's i bet to not use a word , but it's not use a word, but it's certainly sticking out your tongue by the to the british. so you and i have covered this story from the beginning. we spent as much time and as almost anybody because we both realised the i think of what the magnitude. i think of what was on really sunak was going on really sunak realises that politically this is becoming a huge issue , is becoming a huge issue, especially for those 2019 former labour brexit voters . you know, labour brexit voters. you know, he's now promising that he's going to stop the boats . going to stop the boats. there'll be new legislation that may allow british judges to overrule the rulings of the european court of human rights. how do you see it? i see it all as a complete nonsense . unless as a complete nonsense. unless you stop this farce that's going on, on these beaches , because on, on these beaches, because none of them would get they would get there in trickles . but would get there in trickles. but they're fast moving the buses. nobody's taking any notice. they're actively encouraging it. and that is how they get into

the beaches to get to the boats people say, let's stop the boats let's stop them coming from turkey and being held in warehouses in germany or the and coming through . well, let's stop coming through. well, let's stop the people . we can do our best. the people. we can do our best. stop the people. but you and i both know will still get through . well, they will, but yes, they can get on a to the beaches or they can get an individual taxi, whatever but we're talking about 100 people on. one bus. yeah, yeah. no, no, i get the point you're making. i get the point you're making. i get the point you're making. i get the point you're making the easy channel has now cropped up as a debate. i always thought that it would if we left easy, would it make deportations easier easier ? i deportations easier easier? i don't know . so i don't know. don't know. so i don't know. i can't that. no, but we need to do something. we need to do something . i mean, obviously, if something. i mean, obviously, if we didn't have the court of human rights , if we had it out human rights, if we had it out the way it stopped rwandans flight. i was in rwanda when was stopped. yeah, and you're right

. it was an anonymous judge . we . it was an anonymous judge. we don't know who that person is. and my goodness, we tried to find that person. but the home office will not tell us. so it is. final thought on. we've seen the numbers go up every single yean the numbers go up every single year, 45,000 last year . some year, 45,000 last year. some people predicting could be 65,000 this year. do you have anyidea 65,000 this year. do you have any idea on the numbers ? well, any idea on the numbers? well, the highest prediction , the highest prediction, actually, 85,000 is a sector. 5000 is a home office, sort of middle ground. yeah. yeah, it could be 85,000. good to see that. all depends on the weather . so great. thank you very much . well, folks, there you are. that's why your harder earned taxpayers money is going it's helping provide free buses to get people from the camp straight to the trafficking gangs onto a dinghy and off to a four star hotel in our country. that doesn't make you mad i don't know what will bring the next item might make you think i've warned a couple of times over the last few months that

jeremy hunt and the bank of england hellbent on the introduction of central bank digital currencies. well, this week they've come clean . they week they've come clean. they intend for it to be operational by 2030. we'll discuss all of that in just a moment moment.

itold i told you it was coming . i said i told you it was coming. i said they'd go for central bank digital currencies, a cashless society, and the arguments for it are clear. it'll be quick , it are clear. it'll be quick, easy, cheap to transact . easy, cheap to transact. there'll be no problems at all, no loose change lying around. there'll be lots and lots of arguments for it. well, this week, the chancellor of the exchequer and the bank of england have said by 2030 bitcoin, a central bank digital currency will be up and running. it will, to begin with be limited in scope, but huge

ambitions for the years to come. i think this could pose some real threats. it actually gives government pretty much total control over our lives because . control over our lives because. they can just press the button , they can just press the button, close our bank accounts. no, they wouldn't do that now, would they? well, think about it. those canadian truckers , they those canadian truckers, they were legally and lawfully going about their business, driving trucks. but legislation came in demanding that lest they be double vax , they couldn't double vax, they couldn't continue in their cabins doing distance, lorry driving . they distance, lorry driving. they protested, and in the end their bank accounts were closed down by the canadian government . by the canadian government. well, with the central bank digital currency, anyone that decides to stand up and fight against the government could be pressed down simply with the push of a button. that is my . push of a button. that is my. what is it all going to mean? well me down line is leah well me down the line is leah harper. she's a podcaster, but also the of undressing bitcoin, not bitcoin bitcoin layer. thank

you welcome joining this evening i'm . just central bank digital i'm. just central bank digital currencies this isn't just the bank of considering this is it exac currently more than 90% of central banks globally are all working on bringing out a central digital currency. and i think it's really important to elaborate what exactly that is. a central bank currency is basically what we have now. so it's fiat currency , but it's it's fiat currency, but it's going to be entirely digital, which means absolutely in the control of the governments and the central bank. so as you mentioned, governments , since mentioned, governments, since they own it, they're able to program in way that we've program it in a way that we've never seen before. so you never seen before. so as you said, if for whatever reason you don't you're and you don't do as you're told and you don't do as you're told and you don't three vaccines for don't pay three vaccines for vaccines whatever it is, the vaccines or whatever it is, the money be proved ground money can just be proved ground to used against you . the to be used against you. the perfect right now perfect example is right now we're living during we're living dunng we're living during we're living during this supposed climate crisis where they want to implement a carbon . so how do implement a carbon. so how do you do that ? well, it's very you do that? well, it's very simple. you program the

simple. you just program the money in a way that you cannot do with the current cash that we have. program money. so if, have. you program money. so if, for a barbecue and for example, have a barbecue and you buy steaks, you want to buy some steaks, burgers and sausages, whatever it is , you can actually reach it is, you can actually reach your club. so when you go to fill up your car, it could get declined because you. rachel carbonell it's really carbonell so it's a really efficient governments to efficient way for governments to implement their political and work through the money? work agendas through the money? well all of this of course layer all of this will be denied at every by government. but when you look at the incredible overreach government over the course of the last few years, nothing is impossible. now i know that you are a great advocate for bitcoin. perhaps for other cryptocurrencies . to for other cryptocurrencies. to this. this program is not here to give investment advice , but i to give investment advice, but i am thinking to myself if we move towards central bank, digital currency as an i don't want government to control potentially aspect of my life presume amiably this could be

the biggest thing that's ever happened to bitcoin and other crypto coins . absolutely during crypto coins. absolutely during the time that the chuckles , we the time that the chuckles, we used to say that justin trudeau was the best advocate for bitcoin because with bitcoin. when you hold it correctly, a non—custodial wallet, which means outside of any ceo or centralised control , nobody can centralised control, nobody can freeze it . nobody can touch your freeze it. nobody can touch your funds as long as it's in a non—custodial one. and that's the most important. and, you know, you don't have buy bitcoin the most important. and, you kncan you don't have buy bitcoin the most important. and, you kncan investmentave buy bitcoin the most important. and, you kncan investment purposesitcoin the most important. and, you kncan investment purposes .coin the most important. and, you kncan investment purposes . il'si for an investment purposes. it's about being a sovereign individual rule because money is the energy which fuels your life. so if you don't have control of your money, you don't have control over anything and in opinion, really just in my opinion, really just become a slave. because if the government can make your money expire, government freeze government can make your money exin'e, government freeze government can make your money exin the government freeze government can make your money exin the name overnment freeze government can make your money exin the name ofzrnment freeze government can make your money exin the name of terrorism 'eeze government can make your money exin the name of terrorism orze it in the name of terrorism or national security, then what? freedom do have in society freedom do you have in society as an individual? you freedom do you have in society as an individual ? you none. as an individual? you have none. and why of i'm a huge and that's why of i'm a huge advocate bitcoin because advocate for bitcoin because nobody touch it. there's no nobody can touch it. there's no ceo, there's no centralised authority fully decentralised in

the control of joe. you but number one it got to be honest it is extremely volatile in terms of price and number two, we have seen a very large number of bankruptcies in what is a pretty unregulated market. so there are risks there , aren't there are risks there, aren't there? so i'll start with the price. firstly it is volatile, everything is volatile. but if you zoom out and look at bitcoin over last decade, you can see that it over last decade, you can see thatitis over last decade, you can see that it is moving on an upward trajectory. again, this isn't investment advice , but long term investment advice, but long term if you zoom out, it does seem to be some form of store of value. and secondly, with regards to bankruptcy those bankruptcy, these those are centralised exchanges and i would never advocate leaving your centralised your money on a centralised exchange really the same exchange that's really the same as it in bank with no as leaving it in a bank with no insurance and no regulation. so don't okay. well, don't do that. nope okay. well, leah, thank you once again for joining me on this program . joining me on this program. thank you very much indeed . and thank you very much indeed. and folks, as i say, i'm giving

investment advice, but i can see it if central bank, digital currencies come fully within the next decade. a lot of people will go for other option . now, will go for other option. now, nicholas sturgeon, she has been absolute at the top of her political game for years, but it's all gone wrong. the new gender recognition bill, the timing of it , gender recognition bill, the timing of it, because, of course, within couple weeks course, within a couple of weeks we cases , the guy that we had these cases, the guy that had raped two women then killed himself, a woman that was going to be put in a women's prison. sturgeon struggling terribly, whether it's a he or she , an whether it's a he or she, an unnecessary piece of legislation . and the fact that 16 year olds could do this without any medical diagnosis has caused great offence even in scotland . great offence even in scotland. only 20% of people support gender recognition. why man ? who gender recognition. why man? who was determined to? get his own back and it's a real what the average moment. yes. alex salmond is determined to get his own back. this him speaking at a burns night supperjust a few

days .i a burns night supperjust a few days . i a little . 50 days ago. i think a little. 50 years of gradually building, building, building. but we years of gradually building, building, building . but we have building, building. but we have families over 50% women, fewer women and some self—indulgent nonsense . but even if it was nonsense. but even if it was right, but 60 and would probably be tactically the most astute manoeuvre we are going to be taking in scotland to his next date on destiny . so some taking in scotland to his next date on destiny. so some real anger there from alex salmond and actually all round within the snp to a lot of people saying nicholas sturgeon has gone too far way ahead of what pubuc gone too far way ahead of what public opinion wants made the biggest mistake of her career and the dream , the dream that and the dream, the dream that these people have of separating from the united kingdom and rejoining the european union has taken a dent because of it. all

lucky to be first to have bone in the eighties and grow up in the nineties i believe because that generation and the marginalisation of kids of you know the last one so that they could yeah now they sit at home and with us the thing is and play with us the thing is that my kids know me notices i they the amount of sweets and more because it's too dangerous a situation so i say well quite often they're not been abandoned as kids whose quote times says rough and tough you can't teach scratch at the park so things get kicked around elderly but this is i was and boxing why boxing . well basically a play boxing. well basically a play for football club called chase boys club and well my grew up and will play drums for a long pitch for problems adhd probably but it was a barnaby you talk no fighting on the pitch not a good idea no it wasn't like they put me into the gym and then i saw a box and the internet was . very box and the internet was. very good. it still went from now

when i was in hornchurch central park as a ten year old kid, they weren't attacking the boxing club. the mental work stands for a club and was was when fusion, one of the singles like here west ham not just being where you box but being your football team as well. obviously being from the area with that was the worst times , were always the worst times, were always the worst times, were always the worst times, were always the worst time . yeah, that was worse worst time. yeah, that was worse for us, but when kevin, you're an amateur boxer , you're a good an amateur boxer, you're a good amateur boxer. you're doing well . the decision to go professional , that's a big professional, that's a big decision, isn't it ? so i was 18 decision, isn't it? so i was 18 years of age, you know, remember my fight in the national press was a some paper that said kevin , which was too young to be fighting in the senior. i guess he's the youngest candidate basically because i was 18 was fireman . and at the time i was fireman. and at the time i was working for tony burns. but he was the boss of the repton boxing club, also of mickey . my boxing club, also of mickey. my was opposed to the west end sort of rivalries, was working the boss of epsom books over epsom

was well no i'm not him boys meant a lot to my father in the our account and both in the way how someone else would work out another man i knock in space i'm also making a big noise and i'm just saying in a lot of positive into me because i was a young kid knock him out. yeah and i'm you after one the same way. yeah he's i think anas sarwar then what i wanted to put up my light also shows lot not to frame frame on princes same people looked up to almanzo so i went into a professional and went from there. yeah. and you started winning fight after fight . yeah. after fight. yeah fight. yeah. after fight. yeah went on at the wrong somebody who didn't quite burn one person's left for one 30, 30 while say 31 fights as a professional and you go on and you get the commonwealth, whereas commonwealth. yeah. one title, the one finally able to well so a box in 02 title, the one finally able to well so a box in o2 arena metropolitan performance on the

push so rafael game and that is a pool game but as i say that for a lot good things to me my more in my life i believe my son's a boxer both my sons have boxed above was a fighter conversely so all my family motto is both boxed so is thing of in boxing that saved my life in some small way to don't make massively. now one thing i could never quite understand you know you're boxing at super featherweight and it's lightweight that move up to what were then one you go were you then one fight you go for you don't weigh in right you're over that number. it's like being a jockey, isn't it? controlling weight. it's so controlling your weight. it's so odd to. now, hard was odd to. now, what's hard was that your friend or holiday self was all you life is about that i was all you life is about that i was the fa deciding suddenly in the national championships up in birmingham . so what i was we birmingham. so what i was we speak his army he's done he's one and one so far every time you are you so you lost all

about your weight the end you know to the a whole hope look oneself in the gaps between those weights are very small aren't they. and also if you don't make the weight that you you've got no choice, right? you finished the championship so if you look for the boxing matches , the title fight is a massive one that comes in and you can't fight for the title. so yeah, you got to build point is very you've got to be very very important you can't mess about it teaches to be like a virgin or make sure you're important . or make sure you're important. they had a fantastic record. 31 wins a loss but it's kevin's go it's helped go for that world go for that world title . we got for that world title. we got some shots we're going to show now for the viewers of you. add up some park and you in the ring and all the rest of it. you came three times. you had a go at this. you. yeah, yeah. and at that time with upton park, you seen people struggling. so i knew that boxers back then and also the football crisis arena. so i was a massive to you said i

was one of the biggest to yourselves in history at that time from a household. so sometimes house, so and how is this that as we sold tickets food ticket companies it should be sold and tickets my mum's door. be sold and tickets my mum's door . so where was your fanbase door. so where was your fanbase was it a london based or by super offering the whole country supported me, but i think i was based in the east in london. but my fanbase was eastern london was supported by the of england billion per boxing really boxing fans from all over world. but my fanbase was worse than before . fanbase was worse than before. you can tell buy the tickets they come they come along followed big parties after the after put on allowed well for following the most in this for one often the morning after so to the people the fans that come from support me every year every four them like britain is on for every of the things you really it was i was lucky to lived in that time so i think it's all changed our slogan take a an our food companies will change and

you these tells at the you have these tells at the world title on the big stage on the big stage and you get so close in fat and what are the fights? eddie hearn said that kevin was 10 seconds away. you know , it does what it was one of know, it does what it was one of the best fighters in the world who i know is a wbc hall of famer is a nice man of whom i've been lucky enough to have a few beers was over for after the fight. yeah. and i'm a friend of what it was. there's a saying email on the twitter and i should like is what is physically it. there's a lot more i knew i want it was like late twenties and i thought won't hold it alone is the show is good for us it's just get me this for paying but works i wouldn't for the start stop the corner and cuts instead of softly what? well, we got some pictures of that fight. we're not going to play. but you and i would go talking. so you got cut and i was out battle for it and i was willing to fight for enzo

and sort of that the fight was wooden and i just let the job goes. but i. how gutted were you to get close to being so gutted 7 to get close to being so gutted ? so i believe things up and for a reason i'm that coach nick looking the kids are i believe if i were to win that world title. well i'll be nice i'll think things up for reason. think things up for a reason. i'm looking young i'm not looking after young fighters . you oh, good for fighters. you said. oh, good for us. come coming food. i'll be doing corners for you. can doing the corners for you. can ask there's of ask them. so there's reasons of things boys. okay. you? things up, boys. okay. have you? that's philosophical in that's very philosophical in place of that. so what do youngsters you'll bring in through fighters, through a more fighters, youngsters young men coming youngsters or young men coming full of a young come offers of top prospect to a region of young fun to be the outcome of food with eddie hearn of got jemmy sainz on the job squad is coming through soon oh my son continues will come .infor continues will come .in for freddie pudding coming full of a lot do for us coming for the pool you know the way forward now to be a good to be a top athlete as you were you got to

be fit you've got a train dedication dedication , dedication dedication, sacrifice. but there were times kevin , when you did break the kevin, when you did break the rules a little bit. we also, with your social life, i've i've read liverpool that it might well, i will not glorify this by cripple but spent one and a grand on booze nine months it's dope possible. is it? i was was is basically just the time of my well i felt places and places but then we all used to drink live on me we can tell our case we suppose every base are lost of all title out on park. and that was my dream. that's more like my dream that not a spell my family is when people rampage left over london today my way and woke up bankrupt and became and woke up bankrupt and became a life sized homeless person to the moon for translation . the moon for translation. because i was an army boy, wasn't ex—army, were yeah and so

i built myself back up again and got myself on it and everything. now back track with life getting back on track from the craft, a good stable of fighters coming to get it out next month up in liverpool. so you have gone with approval. i'm very well . good approval. i'm very well. good for you. thank you very much. fun very much . yeah, i tell fun very much. yeah, i tell you what, i compare boxer too much rough game for me, but hey , rough game for me, but hey, couple of quick questions from you at the end on barrage. the barrage , mickey is asking me , is barrage, mickey is asking me, is the cabinet reshuffle a further step towards a remainer government ? it was interesting government? it was interesting to see that in the house of lords today, jo johnson , boris lords today, jo johnson, boris johnson's brother, he's been promoted to a position. he was a remainer. look you know, this is not going to be a remainer conservative government. they're not going to overturn brexit. well, they haven't done is to

deliver enough of the benefits from it. so i'm pretty angry about. robert asks me, oh, country has no borders . what country has no borders. what impact does this have on people over libya? look you know, whenever you talk about , over libya? look you know, whenever you talk about, you over libya? look you know, whenever you talk about , you get whenever you talk about, you get slagged off, you know, it's wrong. it's xenophobic, it's racist. the fact is the population has increased by about 8 million since the year 2000. now for many of those that have come from europe and the rest of the world, it's been great for them. but you want gp appointments, you want your kids to get houses, you want to travel motorways. it has a massive population increase has diminished the quality of life for many of us. and you know, i'm all for sensible immigration, but nobody , nobody immigration, but nobody, nobody voted for our population to explode by millions. there was no consent for it. and that's a lot of the reason people did vote brexit and i've got time for one more. i'm asked here ,

for one more. i'm asked here, bob, do you favour students going for degrees or apprenticeships? look i'll be honest with you , i think we've honest with you, i think we've sent far too many people to university over the course of the last 20 years. they've come out with great debts, 6% interest rates , often not interest rates, often not bettering themselves . the bettering themselves. the workplace you need for academic people is dead right for many other people . learning a trade other people. learning a trade or a skill , other people. learning a trade or a skill, you'd have no debt and a lot of them earned very, very good money. we should not look down on. those are trades and skills , right? that is it and skills, right? that is it from me. i'll be back here with you tomorrow at 7:00 in this very studio. but for now, i'm going to hand you over to patrick christys . so for you patrick christys. so for you tonight. ladies and gentlemen, the itv decided they wanted to rehabilitate matt hancock . they rehabilitate matt hancock. they have put their money behind shamima begum, it would seem, wouldn't say why on earth they're trying to rehabilitate her. also it's out that her. also it's turned out that we well be giving

we may well actually be giving money to anti extremist groups and don't like giving and they don't like giving money to yeah you couldn't to islamists. yeah you couldn't make it up now see why that. make it up now i see why that. good it'll be getting good evening. it'll be getting windy through wednesday because they uk at least we they half of the uk at least we have met office warning in the far north—west further south light tonight means fog far north—west further south ligh'frost tonight means fog far north—west further south ligh'frost i'llonight means fog far north—west further south ligh'frost i'll steadilyieans fog far north—west further south ligh'frost i'll steadily clearfog far north—west further south ligh'frost i'll steadily clear toi and frost i'll steadily clear to reveal plenty of sunshine by the afternoon under the influence of high pressure . but further high pressure. but further north, an approaching weather squeezing the ice of arctic weather. so the winds picking up through the night across the far northwest and getting stronger by morning. further by wednesday morning. further south, the winds are light as the frost is returning and the fog is thickening up as well . fog is thickening up as well. but gloopy conditions in places. by wednesday morning, that fog will around through the will be around through the morning rush hour well. and morning rush hour as well. and we the day well, freezing we start the day well, freezing minus three. that's minus to minus three. that's towns cities, raw spots , towns and cities, raw spots, minus six, possibly plus five or six in urban areas further north because there's more cloud and because there's more cloud and because of those winds. now, as i said, fog is going to i said, that fog is going to stick around through tomorrow morning's hour. bear morning's rush hour. so bear that pretty

that in mind, could be pretty dense by late morning. dense clearing by late morning. the strengthening through the winds strengthening through the in the far northwest the day in the far northwest have office yellow warning have a met office yellow warning in those winds likely to in place those winds likely to cause some disruption and certainly to ferry services, but also bridges and then also affect the bridges and then that intense band of that road but intense band of rain here later on rain comes here later on elsewhere . most places dry lots elsewhere. most places dry lots of sunshine in the south, quite cloudy across southern scotland and ireland and quite and northern ireland and quite windy here well. but the windy here as well. but the strongest are in the strongest winds are in the far north this of rain moves north as this band of rain moves through. winds could through. the winds could just whip up a notch further. then there'll be bit of snow following across northern following on across northern scotland. rain scotland. and then as this rain pulls southwards , it kind of pulls southwards, it kind of fizzles out. so although we will see a little bit across england wales, we're not going to see much perhaps a grey damp start in southern on thursday in southern parts on thursday morning, but then we'll see some sunny , still windy sunny spells, still windy on thursday and scotland, but not as windy as it will be. but blustery showers coming in again. most other parts dry and fine on thursday with some decent spells of sunshine and temperatures up to about average

seven, eight, nine, nine, maybe ten. in the southwest .
