to bed. and. welcome to the show. now would you believe that in the last year there were a huge 2.4 million people affected by domestic abuse? it can feel sometimes that women's rights are being eroded . so good news are being eroded. so good news today. home secretary suella braverman is cracking on braverman is cracking down on a crime that largely affects women . domestic abuse will tell you about the new law changes. surely it also affects men. i was surprised to read how many men actually the victims of men are actually the victims of domestic all that a domestic abuse. but all that a little bit later. now lancashire police have confirmed they police have confirmed that they recovered from the river recovered a body from the river wyatt mile from wyatt just a mile away from where nicola disappeared where nicola bulley disappeared last family the last month. the family of the mum have said that they mum of two have said that they are for the are braced for the worst possible news. they are completely heartbroken. i think a lot us feel like that this a lot of us feel like that this morning. missing mother has morning. the missing mother has not since january the not been seen since january the 27th when, of course, she was last seen walking her dog along the river. so joining us now with latest lancashire

with the latest from lancashire is our reporter sophie reaper. good morning, sophie. this news broke yesterday. the news that all of us were dreading, nobody wanted them to find a body. what do we know? so far ? good morning do we know? so far? good morning to you. above yes, after a major police presence here in st michaels on wye yesterday, we were given the news that a body has been recovered as part of the investigation to try and find the missing nicola bulley. now the body itself hasn't been officially identified as the missing mother of two. we're still waiting to get official confirmation on that. and i'm sure at some point in the near future will be getting an update from lancashire police one way or another. yesterday in a statement they said no formal identification has yet been carried out, so we're unable to say whether this is nicola bulley at this time. procedures to identify the body are ongoing . we are currently treating the death as unexplained . so of death as unexplained. so of course, yes, we don't know yet whether it is nicola bulley , but

whether it is nicola bulley, but her family were updated on the latest developments and they have said they're bracing for the worst. now, just to give you a little bit of context, we know that that morning that nicola dropped her children off at school and then she proceeded with her dog, willow , along this with her dog, willow, along this path here behind me, across the bndge path here behind me, across the bridge towards the open bridge and towards the open field where the last confirmed sighting of took place . then sighting of her took place. then about a mile downstream, that's where the body was recovered from yesterday after two walkers spotted it in the morning. now we are, of course, all as you say, that no one wanted a body to be found. and we are all especially nicola's loved ones. we now face this agonising waits for an update from lancashire police . but as this day goes on, police. but as this day goes on, we'll be bringing you updates live here from st michaels on wyre in lancashire . thank you. wyre in lancashire. thank you. sophie sophie reaper there at the riverside in lancashire . the riverside in lancashire. amongst the community who are , i amongst the community who are, i imagine, bereft this morning. well, joining me now is peter blakeslee, a former met

detective . good morning, peter. detective. good morning, peter. and i spoke to you last week and we had some questions. didn't we, about the police handling of this investigation . if they say this investigation. if they say is nicola, we do have to be a little bit cautious and a little bit sensitive to the fact there's been no official identification at this stage. what questions does it raise now, peter , that she might have now, peter, that she might have been there all along ? well all been there all along? well all the at the press conference that was held last wednesday by detectives superintendent rebecca smith, then assistant chief constable peter lawson, smith told us the leading expert in the field had been brought into the inquiry to assist and to help . and she further went to to help. and she further went to on tell us that the national recognised searching doctrine had been followed. well if this body does indeed turn out to be nicola, then clearly those expert experts things might be

called into question , as perhaps called into question, as perhaps will the searching doctrine. now i understand . and the river's i understand. and the river's moving water around, timed things and can be very, very difficult. but nonetheless , difficult. but nonetheless, there is going to be yet further questions, i'm sure . does it questions, i'm sure. does it look now like a straightforward case of suicide to peter if this turns out to be nicola, or do we still have to keep an open mind about how she might have ended up in the river? oh, we're a very long way away from discovery . exactly how this discovery. exactly how this person died . there will, of person died. there will, of course , need to be the course, need to be the identification which i would expect to happen today . and then expect to happen today. and then very importantly, there will be a post mortem very importantly, there will be a postmortem and it will be the pathologist's thorough examination that might go some way towards giving a cause of death. that, of course , will be death. that, of course, will be tested sometime later in a coroner's court. but alongside all of that , there will still be

all of that, there will still be the need for vitally important friends work to be carried out not only on the body , but not only on the body, but perhaps on any closing that the body may have been wearing . and body may have been wearing. and we saw the crime scene investigators by the riverbank yesterday . investigators by the riverbank yesterday. i'm investigators by the riverbank yesterday . i'm sure there will yesterday. i'm sure there will be further work needs to be done and we might not get to establish the full truth for some time yet. we likely to hear from lancashire police today. do you think, peter, because obviously they have had some reputational management issues, maybe we should put it like that throughout the course of this investigation. obviously they released that extraordinary information last week about the fact that nicola had struggled with her alcohol and with her menopausal symptoms . i do not menopausal symptoms. i do not know why that was remotely relevant to that stage. it felt like a step too far. and will they be feeling under pressure now to keep the public informed, as well as the family who of

course, are main priority ? course, are the main priority? well, going to be as well, i'm not going to be as delicate or polite as you most professionally have been, because i am not going to sugarcoat it. much of the messaging that lancashire police have put out has been utterly shambolic and appalling and it's fuelled, spectacular action when they've tried to tell to us stop speculating. and it's made a very difficult situation even more difficult for themselves . more difficult for themselves. certainly there's been some very kind of 20, 23 phenomena in this case in some matches that we've had tick chokers and the like, actually digging holes and other people breaking again to derelict properties , all with derelict properties, all with a view to getting likes, shares , view to getting likes, shares, retweets, comment , traffic on retweets, comment, traffic on social media platforms . because social media platforms. because some of these people make a living out of it. and i understand that that's quite a new phenomena. and i'm going to cut lancashire some kind of slack in having to deal with that. we know they got a

dispersal order, for example. but just to reiterate the messaging, there's really not come up to scratch and there needs to be an awful lot of long, hard staring in the mirror . but of course, we know that the police are not exactly fined for that , but nor are they fined for that, but nor are they fined for that, but nor are they fined for allegedly admitting excuses , admitting mistakes. they only do that when they've been forced into a corner. peter nicholas, partner paul ansell gave this interview to a an establishment mainstream media channel in which he didn't make any suggestion that there was anything wrong with her. her state of mind , which might have state of mind, which might have caused to her wish to take her own life . looking back, that own life. looking back, that seems like quite a strange thing to have done . do you think it to have done. do you think it was wise for him to give that interview at that stage? and if so, what? why was he doing that ? the police may or may not have had some influence over what nicholas partner said . we know,

nicholas partner said. we know, of course, he gave that quite lengthy interview to a television documentary. now in a situation like this, it is most favourite role. if the police and the family are singing from the same song sheet, so to speak . but we know that has not been the case here. it may be that perhaps the family didn't in tightly trust what lancashire police were telling them , or police were telling them, or perhaps agree with their media strategy. i'm sure that in the fullness of time we will find out, but it all cuts across. one of the very big issues about this case and that has been the speculation , the way that the speculation, the way that the media have been gripped by this story, as have the british public, for the last couple of weeks. the first conversation i had with any body that i bump into into the uk was always , into into the uk was always, what do you think happened to nicola ? it really has gripped

nicola? it really has gripped the nation and i suspect that later on today we might find out some significant news . some significant news. absolutely. all right, peter , absolutely. all right, peter, thank you so much. peter blakesley there. and of course, as we were discussing, lancashire police are under pressure to let people know what has happened. we will let you know as soon as we hear. it could be within the next couple of hours. now let me know what you everything we're you think about everything we're discussing today. gbviews@gbnews.uk the northern ireland protocol deal. i know. don't switch off. i know it's a complicated and potentially quite a boring issue, but it's probably the biggest thing on rishi sunak desk right now. he's set to reveal details of his plan today to fix this thorny issue he's facing a rebellion of more than 100 employees while members of the dup are pushing for further concessions from the eu. let's go to northern ireland now to speak to itv news. reporter dougie beattie, who is in stormont, dougie , just in stormont, dougie, just explain why what might explain to us why what might appear to be quite a niche issue is actually incredibly important

for everyone . well, it's all for everyone. well, it's all about consent and it's all about goods shifting from northern ireland to the uk and vice versa. and of course, northern ireland is held inside that protocol deal. it was signed right as a great deal for northern ireland. and of course it's not because what it does do is keep us inside the laws of europe and the european courts look over those laws to make sure that we are not having an unfair advantage at any time. so it really aligns the economy in northern ireland with that of the irish republic because it doesn't want us getting an upper hand and that economy. northern ireland's always had an upper hand because it's part of the sixth economy in the sixth largest economy in the world, the uk. but this deal thatis world, the uk. but this deal that is put through has tried to bounce the unionist back into government and rishi sunak. we knew a deal was coming back from january . keir knew a deal was coming back from january. keir starmer knew a deal was coming back from january . keir starmer actually january. keir starmer actually in belfast to visit here in the 13 january, said i will give you

political cover if you need it. that danger has grown for the pm to stand on, to have to cross the floor, to get a deal through when his own party behind him is looking and saying we will rebel against you if this does not. if you do not handle this the right way it really comes down to way and it really comes down to a bill that is currently in the house it's stuck there house of lords, it's stuck there at the moment and it's basically saying unilateral ni britain can use its sovereign powers to do away with some other laws of the european and override european courts and override them and allow northern ireland to come together. does to come in together. what does it it really harms things it harm? it really harms things like aid and amongst that like state aid and amongst that could be things like manufacturing 25% on steel. that comes in the northern ireland pharmacy articles. and really here in northern ireland we are seeing the outworking of that protocol on our shopping bills every week and lack of goods in northern ireland because most british firms don't want to go through the paperwork of bringing goods into northern ireland. so that's also costing

british firms money coming in here. the see turnover is not there and it's also costing manufacturers and northern ireland quite heavily as well. but more than anything it's costing us place behind us because the unionists here will not sit in par with nationalists because of course they have no democratic rights to change their own laws. so today it will be interesting to see will he announced a deal? i said last week. i do not think he would have if it was a deal was coming, it wouldn't be this week. more than likely. next. okay. all right. thank you, dougie. well, when we do hear something, course, something, we will, of course, let remember, 18 let you know. now, remember, 18 months harry months ago, prince harry basically took his grandmother to court for a judicial review into whether he would be allowed to have royal police protection in this country, because it would mainly be protected by guns. would mainly be protected by guns . i'll would mainly be protected by guns. i'll tell you how much it's cost the taxpayer already to have this very important possibly discussion. see, in a

minute .

1022. this is tennis day on gb news. still to come this morning, at a time when women's rights seem to be being constantly eroded. a good news today, suella braverman is cracking on a crime that cracking down on a crime that affects women. domestic affects mostly women. domestic abuse about the abuse will tell you about the home very soon. home secretary's idea very soon. but first of all, my guest so high morning, i'm delighted high this morning, i'm delighted to joined doctor dr. to be joined by nhs doctor dr. renee to camp and broadcaster, lawyer and futurist andrew e board . right. let's start with board. right. let's start with this prince harry story. before the break, i said to you, i would you how much of your would tell you how much of your taxpayers been spent taxpayers money has been spent on judicial that on this judicial review that prince for . to ask prince harry called for. to ask that he might have armed protection , royal protection protection, royal protection with guns. protection, royal protection with guns . £300,000 for him to with guns. £300,000 for him to come. you okay with that? well, firstly, i'm so serious talking about harry and meghan. this isn't about harry and meghan.

this is about all money that we spend a lot of time talking about them money and how much they have no money. i'm not a bit torn on this. i really am. because i do think that he, for our afghanistan, our country of afghanistan, is the england, he the prince of england, and he still is a member of the royal family. whatever you may think. and needs protection as do and if he needs protection as do all the royal all the members of the royal family, he should get family, then he should get it. i really do. however i think if we don't offer this protection with guns members of the guns to the other members of the royal he shouldn't royal family, then he shouldn't . don't think he can just . i just don't think he can just whip out chequebook book and whip out his chequebook book and pay whip out his chequebook book and pay that's problem. pay for it. that's the problem. but time, we're but at the same time, we're running such big costs, running up such big costs, defending wouldn't just defending it wouldn't just be cheaper to give it to him. well, that would mean common sense had prevailed. well, prevailed. and we don't. well, what talking about? i what are you talking about? i mean, is the thing he mean, look, this is the thing he said we'll pay for it. is it? i mean, frankly, they afford mean, frankly, they can afford it. indeed. you know, it. they can indeed. you know, the from book the royalties from the book alone help alone would help alone. absolutely but of course, then the royals said, well, you the royals have said, well, you can't for it, because that can't pay for it, because that would family would mean any royal family would mean any royal family would for this is the would pay for it. this is the big i have with this big problem i have with this story is that it's all about the

headlines. and certainly to harry and meghan, the and harry and meghan, the story. and therefore our approach therefore we've got our approach from view. from a negative point of view. the of matter is, this the truth of the matter is, this is much has been spent on is how much has been spent on the wonderful profession of lawyers case. lawyers fighting this case. oh, your i wanted life your fall. i never wanted life all time on this. everything all the time on this. everything has his shoulders ever. has improved his shoulders ever. but what to do is to but what we like to do is to shine a spotlight on it. so the 300 is about the 300 grand is talking about the legal fees. there are two issues here. first is, should they here. the first is, should they get protection? first, i believe they are going they should. and they are going to when they're to get protection when they're doing security doing their royal security for a formal they're going to formal events. they're going to get that. second is when get that. the second is when they're doing because they're not doing those because they're not doing those because they're royals, should they're no longer royals, should they're no longer royals, should they when they get that protection when this would be netflix this would be the netflix thing? and turn, does does the and then you turn, does does the home office have an obligation? so that's a legal question , so that's a legal question, which determined the which would be determined by the courts. but with throwing so much round , we miss it. much muddle round, we miss it. more light . less heat much muddle round, we miss it. more light. less heat is much muddle round, we miss it. more light . less heat is what more light. less heat is what i always say. of course, there's the personal element this, the personal element of this, renee, because this is effectively a father to effectively a father saying to his son, i won't pay for you to have the best protection when you are here . there's that

you are here. there's that emotional . you are here. there's that emotional. imagine being the parents having to make that decision. i know. so i think charles is in almost an impossible situation in here because on the one hand, he has to be king. has to be seen to to be king. he has to be seen to be frugal, which he's be being frugal, which he's trying but then his trying to do. but then he's his son, and i'm sure he's actually really told we all know we've got know what it's got children. we know what it's like. mean, maybe they should like. i mean, maybe they should just stay oh what just stay away. oh what do you think? should there at think? they should be there at the looki think? they should be there at the look i think, the coronation? look i think, of course they should be there. they are members of the royal family. actually think family. but i actually do think that are going to that these two are going to bnng that these two are going to bring publicity with bring so much publicity with them. to milk it them. they're going to milk it so should be about the so much. it should be about the king. coronation. and king. and he's coronation. and it's to be about harry and it's going to be about harry and meghan. a part of me thinks, well, i what i really well, what i love, what i really love the managed to work it love is the managed to work it out, going to be on out, but it's going to be on archie's fourth birthday, which is also on may the sixth. so i in that glorious way, the king, they obviously had a conversation the scenes. conversation behind the scenes. let's fourth let's celebrate archie's fourth birthday the birthday instead. let's do the coronation time. so coronation at the same time. so that's probably happened. that's probably what happened. oh, that like

oh, i did not know that we like his hair. good. excuse apparently, this is one of the reasons not reasons why i'm making may not come, which i find absolutely ridiculous. as a mother of a four year old, you're talking to the went on honeymoon the woman who went on honeymoon on my husband on her own because my husband had else to go to say, had something else to go to say, you know, a year you know, missing a four year old should use it old is best. they should use it very high on the list. but she will use that then if she can't possibly go to the coronation, because i've a fourth because i've got a fourth birthday to throw. oh, birthday party to throw. oh, come yeah, right. come on. yeah, right, right. okay, let's to this next okay, let's go on to this next story. sorry. now, this i any story. sorry. now, this is i any excuse about the great excuse to talk about the great ron desantis in florida? you ron desantis in florida? as you know health story, know. interesting health story, though . renaissance it is in though. renaissance it is in florida, are now being warned , florida, are now being warned, told to warn recipients of the covid jabs that the shot could cause adverse effects, including heart attacks. why is it taking ? so why has it taken so long? so my big issue with the vaccine has always been not that we should cancel it and not do it. i think if it has value for vulnerable people, then it has value. but my big issue is, is that we would never consenting people the way that we are people in the way that we are trained as doctors to do. you

know, told that we should know, we are told that we should give fully informed consent even if that is bad. and if if some of that is bad. and if somebody makes a decision somebody then makes a decision not have something, if not to have something, even if we they're foolish we think they're being foolish and competent, we should and they're competent, we should leave them make leave them alone. let them make it. none of those it. we've done none of those things. knew very early things. so we knew very early doors was doors before that this was causing myocarditis in younger men, especially very early doors. i was mocked on the bbc for saying this , but it is in for saying this, but it is in pfizer's own trial and original trial. yeah, you know, and people said, oh, but it's so tiny. so tiny. and my point always was yes, but does that 18 year old actually need this vaccine or do they need myocarditis ? you know, it's time myocarditis? you know, it's time for us to actually be grown up. treat this medicine, this vaccine as we should all medicines, and say to people, look, there is this risk of you getting this. there is this risk of you getting covid a been seriously ill. the decision is now yours. we haven't done that and that's been the problem. and actually florida looks like they're ahead of the on they're ahead of the game on doing but doesn't show that how

politics so and twined politics became so and twined with medical advice . andrew with medical advice. andrew because this is we on desantis is basically a he's a republican but he's very much anti a establishment he's a maverick politician. he likes to carve his own path and he's taken the politics out of it and said, let's just tell people they can have it if they want to. don't have it if they want to. don't have if you don't want to. but it has to, as you rightly said at the top, it has to be about informed consent. but we also have to make sure that we don't scare people, that there's the whole about was the whole thing about fear. was the father pr, edward bernays, father of pr, edward bernays, who said, if you want to sell anything, the easiest way is through so you through fear. and so when you look sort, the look at these sort, the statistics, course, like any statistics, of course, like any medicine need and any medicine you need to and any vaccination on said vaccination to turn on said these the risks. and here these are the risks. and here are the percentages and you've got in 2021, got figures here. in 2021, 41,473 vaccine related injuries were reported in florida. okay well, those are the statistics you work out. how many people have vaccine and what the have the vaccine and what the positive effects and then positive effects were. and then you an informed decision. you make an informed decision. so all for informed consent

so i'm all for informed consent and not for a scam mongering unnecessarily . well, i mean, we unnecessarily. well, i mean, we had a lot of scaremongering. so the ironically, you could say went they went the other way, didn't i mean, and we still have it. we still have for example, you know, celebrities putting out video saying that the unvaccinated should be locked at home. you know, this is carrying on and this is this is abuse of our freedoms as people , our our our freedoms as people, our our ability make it decision ability to make it decision about something. we were treated like babies, not even children . like babies, not even children. yeah. you know, i can reason with my four old we were with my four year old we were treated babies who treated like babies who could not absorb information make not absorb information and make a . and it's to see a decision. and it's nice to see that are areas in the that there are areas in the world that doing that and world that are doing that and there countries as there are other countries as well. know, the nordic well. you know, the nordic countries have been ahead countries have been quite ahead of in saying, no, of the game in saying, no, someone under 50 doesn't need this it comes this vaccine. for me, it comes back single time to back every single time to informed consent . and informed consent. and as a doctor, if weren't happy to doctor, if you weren't happy to doctor, if you weren't happy to do you weren't upholding do that, you weren't upholding your oath. and that's the frustration, is that informed consent underpins much of consent underpins so much of medical ethics in this country.

it is the cornerstone upon which to debate whether you're going in to have a caesarean section or one of the procedures that you want robots to do. yes. you have to have you have to give the patient a pregnant woman. isn't the patient. but you know what i mean? you have to give the of those the recipients of those interventions absolute. the recipients of those inte|this ions absolute. the recipients of those inte|this is1s absolute. the recipients of those inte|this is the absolute. the recipients of those inte|this is the problem olute. the recipients of those inte|this is the problem as te. the recipients of those inte|this is the problem as well. and this is the problem as well. those that in lockdown and even before that with brexit, everybody's becomes an expert and all of a sudden then you've got medical at all. got no medical training at all. the expert on the experts. this is thing about it. so is the crazy thing about it. so i always question i always say question everything, listen to the experts , and you can make experts, and then you can make an decision. and yeah, an informed decision. and yeah, if asked if you'd if you'd asked and if you'd asked about the asked your doctor about the risks , they risks of myocarditis, as they will in florida, they will now know in florida, they wouldn't have. and if i had a pound for every time early on, i bet you would have seen it. i was told on twitter that i was just a gp. what did i know? well, you know what? just just have exactly the same medical training as every other doctor. and a pound of time, and if you had a pound of time, you'll be to afford school you'll be able to afford school

amazingly affected 2.4 million people in england and wales last yean people in england and wales last year, and the home office, particularly under the leadership of braverman leadership of suella braverman want something about it so want to do something about it so hits tell me about it is gb hits tell me all about it is gb news a political reporter at darren good morning, darren mccaffrey. good morning, daryn. what's daryn. good morning. what's suella saying? suella braverman been saying? she's article about she's written an article about this laying out her ambition. it's quite, quite feisty stuff isn't it? yeah, it is. and in fact, actually, for the first time, this is going to be viewed essentially as a national threat, fundamentally domestic. essentially as a national threat, fhonestentally domestic. essentially as a national threat, fhonest about domestic. essentially as a national threat, fhonest about this. estic. essentially as a national threat, fhonest about this. she. let's be honest about this. she talked about 2.4 million people being affected this year. being affected this every year. let's be honest, it is majority , a vast majority, women . yes, , a vast majority, women. yes, two thirds. interestingly i mean, that's not to downplay the fact that domestic violence does happen to it literally could be any one. so it is primarily women who suffer most from this. and the government put in eight and a half million quid of investment into essentially extending the registry scheme so that violence offenders are put on a register , a bit like the on a register, a bit like the sex offenders register that we've had for many years in this

country, that lots more country, but also that lots more that electronically that going to be electronically tagged effectively people, tagged so effectively people, the will know the police force will know where they sunak saying they are and rishi sunak saying today that has to become a priority for the police follows of course whole series of of course a whole series of incidents violence against incidents of violence against women women been women where women have been murdered kidnapped or murdered or kidnapped and or where violence is quite where domestic violence is quite difficult to deal with. it's one of these things that takes people, particularly women. again come forward, quite again to come forward, quite brave, forward and brave, to come forward and report they're also report this. and they're also going extend annie going to extend at the annie scheme, which is the scheme that you into things like you can go into things like jobcentres. now in pharmacies and use that code word of annie to effectively report abuse in a kind of more subtle, more secretive way. yeah. so you could basically go and say to somebody, is annie here, please? yes. so you just ask for a member of the staff and, the person to be the trigger words and know authorities to kind of take action and to kind of to try get that person kind of out of that situation so that they can talk to the police, to the authorities about what's going

on. i'm going to have to say kind of quite interesting, this rishi sunak today, you rishi sunak saying today, you know, a priority. know, this is a priority. it's about crimes about preventing crimes from happening in the first place and bringing the perpetrators to justice. really justice. what is really interesting is that actually this is university welcomed. yeah, really happens in yeah, they really happens in politics. i mean the opposition labour's main criticism is that this should have happened a while ago but they welcome it and also the chief executive and of the charity women's aid says that this is welcome but wants to see kind of this this register publish much more regularly on the whole most charities seem to be saying, you know, fair dues to the government. this is what we've been asking for the last couple. yeah, i would have liked this, have considered domestic abuse victims actually when we were going more going for more and more more lockdowns without particular scientific indications doing scientific indications for doing so look the numbers on so just look at the numbers on this which found this down which i was found really interesting. domestic abuse charges halved from 20,000 in 2015 to 2016 to only 40,000

and in 2020 to 21. that's the effects of lockdowns right there . yeah. and it's also the effect, but it's part of a wider trend, which , you know, people trend, which, you know, people would say, i mean, the role more police officers than we've ever had in country. but clearly, maybe they're not focusing necessarily on right of necessarily on the right type of crime, but it's part of a wider trend as well. what we've seen strangely, know, convictions strangely, you know, convictions for have for rape, for example, have fallen time low. even fallen to an all time low. even people with crimes people being charged with crimes , being a fall into an all , of being a fall into an all time low. so there's clearly a big problem, with big problem, not just with domestic violence, of domestic violence, but of course, the ball where police are but are investigating crimes, but the people being the number of people being charged, convicted , charged, let alone convicted, continues to fall. and there's no obvious or easy answer to that. but it's clearly not a good place to be. no, i think that's what i'm saying. actually, we should look into that at a later date. why? the burden of proof to get somebody to that is obviously not to that stage is obviously not being accumulated to investigate it. it is abusers. this it. whatever it is abusers. this is what some of the detail of this particular bill from suella

braverman abusers who've been sentenced to a year or more for controlling or coercive behaviour will be recorded, as you say, on sex offenders you say, on the sex offenders register on the violence and sex offender register, but also one thing that i think is going okay, this is all very punitive , but let's let's not help these people. help isn't the right word. well, let's educate abusive men as to why they might be doing it, surely to stop them going into another relationship in future , they'll have to in the future, they'll have to attend behaviour programmes and tell move under tell officers if they move under the terms of the new domestic abuse protection. i think the prime is trying get prime minister is trying to get at know, at the end of at is, you know, at the end of the day we all know if you've offended want, more offended want, you're far more likely again. is this likely to offend again. is this about and about preventive action and where worked the past? where it has worked in the past? we a kind of similar we know in a kind of similar scheme is that when people who've committed a crime meet the crime, know, the victims of crime, you know, obviously victim has to obviously the victim has to consent but it worked consent to it. but it has worked with dehumanises and with kind of dehumanises and personalises crime to these personalises that crime to these criminals . so they're less criminals. so they're less likely in future. so likely to do it in future. so that's kind of, i think the idea

behind this as well that go behind this as well that you go in behavioural course to in a behavioural course to understand ultimately, understand because ultimately, you are a lot of you know there are a lot of people who have committed domestic violence abuses in the past and they are more likely to do so in the future. so if you can stop it from happening again , good idea. but big thing here i think is this kind of, you know, they've got to spend the money on people a lot money on monitoring people a lot more closely because . to date, more closely because. to date, many feel that , you know, people many feel that, you know, people get accused of domestic violence. yeah they may. they might they might be found guilty of it, but they disappear back into the system again. the only naysayer that i have found of this that you it's this is that you say it's unanimously greeted . this unanimously been greeted. this is a spokesperson in the newspaper women's newspaper today from women's aid, executive , farran aid, the chief executive, farran nazeen aid, the chief executive, farran nazeer, that the nazeer, has said that the message, the measures need to go further time when the further at a time when the police response to violence against girls is against women and girls is a is against women and girls is a is a public priority, it is positive. government a public priority, it is pos these government a public priority, it is pos these measures vernment a public priority, it is pos these measures need1ent a public priority, it is pos these measures need to |t up. these measures need to create however systemic change is needed to keep women safe and failed failed to hold any agency

to account . yeah, i think that's to account. yeah, i think that's part of a wider thing. you know, we know that there's certain police forces in special measures about not properly investigating the investigating crimes. in the past . and many feel that, again past. and many feel that, again , like domestic violence is a very serious crime, but it can also lead to even more serious crimes. i'm seeing a lot of very famous cases , infamous cases in famous cases, infamous cases in the last couple of months have been reported . women have been been reported. women have been murdered effectively by their partners . and again, it's about partners. and again, it's about trying to spot that early tomorrow , not to these people tomorrow, not to these people and to ensure it doesn't happen. yeah, 20% of all deaths in the uk related to domestic abuse. and what you just hope. thank you, what you hope is you, dan. but what you hope is that these these measures empower women. two empower predominately women. two out three victims are women out of three victims are women empower i can empower women think okay i can i will be taken seriously this will be taken seriously this will be taken seriously this will be as seriously will be treated as seriously a terrorism threat . so well done. terrorism threat. so well done. suella braverman . now, thanks to suella braverman. now, thanks to february is reynolds awareness month bringing attention to a condition that affects as many as one in six rhinos is a lack

of blood flow in the body and is especially prevalent in these cold months. a london reporter lisa hartle went to find out more. these photos show the effects of reynolds that effects of reynolds fingers that have turned yellow or white as blood flow is restricted during an attack . not many people have an attack. not many people have heard of the condition yet. it affects over 10 million people in the uk . it affects blood flow in the uk. it affects blood flow to parts of the body most commonly hands and feet. these painful attacks are brought on by stress or cold temperatures. jodie's had veno since she was a teenager , she was at a football teenager, she was at a football match when her fingers colour teenager, she was at a football after doing some research she went to her gp. i didn't really know anything about it and she suggested that i hold potatoes in my pockets , which was really in my pockets, which was really very helpful. it happens a lot in supermarkets . you know, if in supermarkets. you know, if you go down the cold fridge freezer aisles, that's when it is quite bad and it's good. now that there are there are different types of bags. when it was a thin plastic bag, it was just useless because you have

your fingers go completely white. it can be one can be the end of one or it can be all. and but they go completely numb . you but they go completely numb. you can't feel anything . and it's can't feel anything. and it's just really difficult to kind of pick things up for do anything really, when you're having an attack, it can take a couple of minutes for the feeling come back or it can take, you know, an hour for the feeling to come back. though rare, the condition can be a sign of a more serious illness called scleroderma. it is a rare autoimmune condition . is a rare autoimmune condition. it will only affect 19,000 people. so we don't want to raise alarm bells . but if people. so we don't want to raise alarm bells. but if your having very nice symptoms but also having sore fingers or experiencing acid reflux, it could be an indication of this condition. so we would recommend going to a gp and talking to them. people with severe veno can take medication for those with a milder form. it's about keeping warm. i was i was really

worried about you . the energy worried about you. the energy pnces worried about you. the energy prices increasing because if i don't stay warm , then i get more don't stay warm, then i get more of these attacks. and it can it can cause so many problems and even just kind of if you're working from home, even just typing, you know, you can't feel your fingers. you can't you can't work like that. we can't really work like that. we surveyed our community to ask them about the rising energy cost and how that's affecting their health and it was quite shocking that we had results of over 76% of people were avoiding putting their heating on, which would then cause them a painful valence attack of the pain, the energy cost bill. so we are asking , we energy cost bill. so we are asking, we have energy cost bill. so we are asking , we have written an open asking, we have written an open letter to the chancellor to ask for some help for people with writing, and particularly severe right now is the charity hopes raising awareness will encourage people with the symptoms to seek a diagnosis from their gp lisa hartle gb news london now so

it's come this morning liam halligan will be here with loads of financial stories. this one fantastic stuff knocking around today that we need to understand government energy support packages to be rolled packages continue to be rolled out to the vulnerable out to the most vulnerable households. is going to be households. is that going to be enough? around how enough? stick around and see how it impact you. but first, it could impact you. but first, my back me this my guests are back with me this morning. doctor what i who morning. nhs doctor what i who come a lawyer and come and broadcast a lawyer and futurist . andrew abel i love the futurist. andrew abel i love the rolling out on that one. so that's an 800 rights we are looking at this story about the fact that, okay, one of my biggest issues in life is litter. i know that sounds a bit sad to one of my agree with you i am that person who will see someone drop a packet of crisps and i will go and pick up the packet and give that back. i mean, i say i think you've dropped something and then only so embarrassed that have dropped something and then only so oh 3arrassed that have dropped something and then only so oh yeah,;ed that have dropped something and then only so oh yeah, yes. hat have dropped something and then only so oh yeah, yes. yes. have dropped something and then only so oh yeah, yes. yes. and have dropped something and then only so oh yeah, yes. yes. and put to. oh yeah, yes. yes. and put it in their pocket. so motorways don't whether you've noticed but motorways and roads motorways the moment and roads it's people just it's like people are just emptying they do emptying the litter out. they do they to our sense of they just happen to our sense of national pride. well i think i

agree with you. and i said this to i'm that person to up to andrew, i'm that person to up and gives people their and gives people back their litter you dropped litter and i think you dropped this i brought up by this because i was brought up by my that you never drop my mother that you never drop litter street. i mean, litter in the street. i mean, i also weren't supposed to eat also we weren't supposed to eat in the street ever, ever either. she is really, really strict. and, taught me to and, you know, she taught me to have pride. me, this have pride. so for me, this comes back parenting and it comes back to parenting and it does, know, we're not does, you know, if we're not teaching our children, if children in that car were watching mummy daddy watching mummy and daddy chucked their of the window, their rubbish out of the window, that's will when that's what they will do when they know, there's they grow up. you know, there's no respect for what's around us and believing that it's our house. but we paid it. we're house. but we paid for it. we're paying house. but we paid for it. we're paying it with our taxes. we paying for it with our taxes. we should it, but you should look after it, but you know i worry about , know what? i also worry about, andrew, is this idea that the state literally, metaphorically sweeps up after us. something has happened to the national psyche, to think is always the problem. if the government you can get rid of my mattress on the wall and you actually and that's the problem with this story. you we see the story. you know, we see the story. you know, we see the story different story from different perspectives. what story is perspectives. what this story is actually the national

actually saying is the national highways are doing that. highways are not doing that. their obligation that does not excuse national highway excuse the national highway shameful track shameful and scandalous track record of inaction and dereliction of duty is exactly your to aspect. so this is your point to aspect. so this is one people should not be out the letter and good old jeremy paxman with nothing he was saying we used to be we came out today and then you brought it out . it's today and then you brought it out. it's moved on since today and then you brought it out . it's moved on since the out. it's moved on since the day. paxman exactly. day. jeremy paxman exactly. well, now is a commentator on well, he now is a commentator on these matters . he said, we used these matters. he said, we used to be a nation of shopkeepers. we all all we're a nation of we all did all we're a nation of little down size that we all little down to size that we all it out. so we should stop it. the second, though, is the obugafion the second, though, is the obligation to clear up and what this story is focussed on is the obligation. so mike pickering this story is focussed on is the obli�*saying so mike pickering this story is focussed on is the obli�*saying thatiike pickering this story is focussed on is the obli�*saying that pendingzring was saying that pending rather it we need a cultural it was saying we need a cultural change deal with this, but we change to deal with this, but we do the litter wasn't do because if the litter wasn't there place, we there in the first place, we wouldn't criticising the wouldn't be criticising the higher say and once higher ups. didn't say and once again, you know, it takes money for highways agency to pick for the highways agency to pick things of dumping things up in terms of dumping mattresses things. but mattresses and things. but i think been really think we've been really shortsighted. so that was really random. listening on random. if you're listening on the said, why did

the radio, i said, why did beverley talk about no one? no, why you? because we were showing footage the fly—tipping footage of the fly—tipping situation. fly—tipping is really another scourge of our communities. actually think communities. i actually think local councils have themselves to because we to blame for that because we only to be able to pick up only used to be able to pick up our tape and take our our local tape and take our rubbish. then we all did it. now a lot of people have to pay to take their rubbish there and the moment you put money on they dump it on the street. and i think the anyone's doing the sums costs to sums of this. it costs more to make people dump rubbish make people dump their rubbish on let them on the street or let them actually bring it to our tip and now since covid you had to book a at your tape and many, a slot at your tape and many, many to keep that. so many hours to keep that. so we've problem the we've created that problem the fly—tipping but we need fly—tipping one. but we need parents to take responsibility for kids and educating you. for that kids and educating you. absolutely. and i think the more we can get there, i'm sure the great british public watching we can get there, i'm sure the greaprogramme)lic watching we can get there, i'm sure the greaprogramme would tching we can get there, i'm sure the greaprogramme would say1g this programme would say absolutely pride absolutely we should get pride in our appearance. not in in our appearance. not not just but also in in in our appearance. not not just streets but also in in in our appearance. not not juststreets and but also in in in our appearance. not not juststreets and so but also in in in our appearance. not not juststreets and so on: also in in in our appearance. not not juststreets and so on and) in in in our appearance. not not juststreets and so on and s0| our streets and so on and so forth. and we also they need to look at what is the solution, because if you suddenly put a skip outside overnight, it's

nothing up. even nothing gets all filled up. even if we need if you're paying for it. we need to at that in a sensible to look at that in a sensible way. don't blame somebody way. don't just blame somebody else and expect them to clean up their absolutely. their own mess. oh, absolutely. i know, and also more i mean, you know, and also more dustbins, please. more dustbins on street, more dustbins in on the street, more dustbins in parks the parks and actually empty the dustbins get to dustbins by the time get to sunday some sunday afternoon. it's some touristy just a touristy areas. it's just a massive pile of rubbish because nobody's bins and nobody's emptied the bins and it's down the it's all blowing down the street. who knew litter street. yeah who knew litter could so interesting, right? could be so interesting, right? that good. that rubbish. oh very good. okay. nhs woke guidelines okay. right nhs woke guidelines . this is. i'm sure you're in favour of these, renee when somebody comes into your surgery , do you automatically assume you understand their agenda? because if so , that's not how because if so, that's not how you meant to do it. in 2023. apparently but a dinosaur. apparently not, but a dinosaur. let's remember that i'm a dinosaur. this was designed, this story, to my blood this story, to make my blood boil . so we this story, to make my blood boil. so we have seen this week that we are erasing language in our children's best books. and this same thing we trying this is the same thing we trying to arrange raise biological sex. we are trying to say there's no difference between men and women that there's 100 different

variations in between. and in order to do that , are attacking order to do that, are attacking doctors. now and trying to teach them how to suck eggs. i'm not being funny, but if you behind somebody doesn't matter what they're wearing, what their hair's like , whether it's hair's like, whether it's a muscle, you know, if it's a man or a woman, when you walk behind, when you walk behind them, by the way, that they walk, are walk, men and women are different when buried and different when we're buried and they up years they dig us up in 300 years time, will know that you time, they will know that you and were women and andrew was and i were women and andrew was and i were women and andrew was a man just from skeleton. a man just from our skeleton. you you we can see. you are right. you we can see. i could be anything. i could play devil's advocate. i could do. but, you it's an but, you know, it's an assumption, i think. but it also boils down, nobody would boils down, which nobody would disagree boils to disagree with. it boils down to respect. a balance respect. and there's a balance between there some between there are some legitimate arguments that you want to about, respecting want to talk about, respecting the site and so forth. this is a 16 page document which is done by a doctor, brady, who by a doctor, michael brady, who i george, in a way i don't know, george, in a way he's head of, and that's the adviser for the lgb t health at ten inches england. i'm not quite ten inches england. i'm not quhe you ten inches england. i'm not quite you would say quite sure what you would say in that page than respect

that 16 page other than respect is a good start. well, then turn around and say when you ask and they the nhs they give you the nhs guidelines. apparently don't guidelines. apparently i don't think that. think they call them that. that's of this complaint. that's part of this complaint. was it the male? i think they said this is but the nhs is not fully embracing word woke. so they tell us you should they sort of tell us you should ask questions without ask open questions without making about making an assumption about somebody. you've got somebody. i think if you've got a front of you and it a patient front of you and it means a lot to them about their pronouns and so on and so forth, asking open because asking an open question because you assumptions , they you don't make assumptions, they are best. mrs. may, you are your best. mrs. may, you know you've got to try and know that you've got to try and treat try to put treat the patient. so try to put play treat the patient. so try to put play , say, devil's play as, say, play devil's advocate. also said, advocate. they're also said, which i find extraordinary facial expressions, are facial expressions, as there are some they in this some gp's they say in this report away they will back away. i don't know the evidence for this, i would this, but i would always question that's this, but i would always quecase. that's this, but i would always quecase. that's that's this, but i would always quecase. that's not that's this, but i would always que case. that's not respect , the case. that's not respect, which why i started this which is why i started this whole about it. it's down whole thing about it. it's down to respect. i don't believe it happens. i'm sorry. that's why i'm i believe i'm asking. i didn't believe a doctor when told that somebody is and wants to is a trans patient and wants to be whatever backs away. be called whatever backs away. i think that's nonsense. all

think that's nonsense. we've all been trained in the same way. we all patients day. we all see patients every day. we know handle them. know how to handle them. obviously people be obviously some people will be better others, i think better than others, but i think that's nonsense. what that's just nonsense. but what worries it's worries me about this is it's actually dangerous the end. actually dangerous in the end. so extrapolate this to so if we extrapolate this to where it to be and we where they want it to be and we only call people with services for a smear and people with prostate for their prostate check whatever it's check or whatever it is, it's dangerous because 50% of women do not even know what their cervix they don't know they cervix is. they don't know they have a cervix. they do, however know they are a woman. so we are condemning ms. condemning people to ms. important screening . you important cancer screening. you know, of course i have patients who are trans and i will call them wherever they want to be and respect them totally as i would any other patient. i would any other patient. and i do have patients and that is not a but this a problem at all. but this complete know, dictating to complete you know, dictating to doctors how they treat people. we have now got to a situation now in hospitals and this is not a to tell you where a joke about to tell you where we have 60 year old men with beards being asked if they could beards being asked if they could be pregnant at and it's the tyranny the minority, is it not

at the cost of the majority. that's what worries me. yeah, i tried to put boiled down to a spec so we could get rid of the craziness, but also just stick to the facts, be polite, let's stick to the people, be polite and because you know what i want from doctors when i walk in, from my doctors when i walk in, i them to tell me their i want them to tell me their name most importantly. hello, i'm doctor renee. that's it. and then start a then that's the start of a conversation, right? we've got the first hour in the the end of our first hour in the next going to bring next few moments, going to bring you latest on the body that you the latest on the body that was found by lancashire police in river specialist in the river wyre. specialist teams identify teams are working to identify the could get the the deceased. we could get the results now. results any moment now. we've seen minutes. hello, i'm seen a few minutes. hello, i'm alex deakin and this is latest weather update the met weather update from the met office much office gusty winds across much of the north today. they'll be steadily through day, steadily easing through the day, but across scotland. but but a rain across scotland. but most most of most places dry. and for most of us, mild. we've got low us, pretty mild. we've got low to north, high to the to the north, a high to the south. and in between this weather front that's where we're seeing thickest cloud and seeing the thickest cloud and a little of rain. little bit of rain. but i suppose fairly tightly packed as well. quite gusty, well. it is quite gusty, particularly over north—east england scotland, england and northern scotland, staying damp through the

staying fairly damp through the central drizzle central belts. but a drizzle over cumbrian fells and over over the cumbrian fells and over snowdonia. most places dry snowdonia. but most places dry and actually some decent spells sunshine over parts of the midlands , east and the midlands, east anglia and the south east and it is mild temperatures into the teens. 1450 celsius where we see some sunshine cooler further north. but even here , temperatures are but even here, temperatures are a touch above average for the time of year, but feeling a bit colder with the winds. and those winds will continue to ease through evening. rain through this evening. the rain should the should clear away from the central belts, fairly damp central belts, but fairly damp nights across parts of western scotland . otherwise, again, most scotland. otherwise, again, most places could be some mist and fog generally just keep a lot of cloud and at these temperatures overnight, staying at seven or eight celsius. so a very mild start to tuesday. tuesday again, mild, dry and cloudy. the majority, it won't be as windy as today across the north, we will see some rain clearing away initially from northern scotland , but then pushing back into the western isles elsewhere again , western isles elsewhere again, bar a bit of drizzle over coast and hills. most places dry, but

and hills. most places dry, but a cloudy day for the midlands and east anglia and perhaps not quite as mild, but still temperatures double digits almost across the board. we might get up into the teens and one or two places. north scotland, well see some breaks in the cloud and some sunny spells, but in the west signs a change through tuesday evening, a weather from this line of rain is a weather moving in it's is a weather moving in and it's a cold front as well. so we'll be introducing cold air some showery rain on wednesday, but still a lot of dry weather and just telling a little chilly goodbye.

won't support an arrangement which means the european court of justice maintains oversight. labour leader sir keir starmer says there's a real window of opportunity to move forward. the uk and the eu have obviously edged closer together. the question now is whether the prime minister is strong enough to get it through his own backbenchers and what i've said is on northern ireland. the national interest comes so we will put party politics to one side. we will vote with the government if there's a deal to vote for. and so the prime minister doesn't have to rely on his backbench. as you know, we in labour party are putting country first and party second. former snp westminster leader angus robertson and has announced he will not be running for party leadership. scotland external affairs and culture had been tipped as one of the frontrunners to replace nicolas sturgeon after she resigned last week. mr. robertson said it's a privilege and honour that people want him to stand, which as a

search in the reeds. they all know that and the police know that there was no sign of nicola lying on the bottom unequivocally said to us that if she was in the river, you would find her and you also offered theories about how that was aware and he didn't believe her body could go past it. and yet we are. her body had gone past the where her body had a body. we believe has been found in the river. we believe has been found in the fiven do we believe has been found in the river. do not accept there river. do you not accept there are errors perhaps there are any errors or perhaps there seem to be then for you in this 7 seem to be then for you in this ? not at all. i mean, recover on average ten drowning victims a year and a of suicides. and we got a very high hit rate. the nicorette fall and in the play out on the bench where the fun found she would have landed into of she would not have of water she would not have drowned at that location. i don't believe nicola went in because police divers because the police divers searched the area thoroughly that . and drowning that afternoon. and drowning victims to the bottom. she victims go to the bottom. she could not have made it over the where in a diet . there's no way where in a diet. there's no way that my whole team and other police police have looked to

this. it's baffled me. and i i'm the one on here today defending my good work to try and help all the families that we do. free of charge. there's no other voice out there. and the media have come to me for an update. and i want say again, the police have searched that area along the banks for three weeks thoroughly with divers using side scan sonar and us and, you know, there's always a fall guy and it looks like keep trying to be me, but i'm not accepting it. we've got the sonar imagery , the got the sonar imagery, the riverbed, which i can prove we have everything there. and we done the best with our bit with our ability , but it was not our our ability, but it was not our remit to search the reeds at all. that was the land search teams paid. peter. it's actually just sad you're having to defend yourself the police have to defend themselves when they've really only important thing is this woman what happened to her

and if this is her at the end of the day thank you. i i mean, my thoughts go out to the family. i you know, i reminding close contact with the family that the trouble was out there and, you know, we need to get a grip of these people. these are just the comments against the fam the police . it's no one's . it's police. it's no one's. it's a very hard job dealing with drowning and missing people. it's not easy. and it's all the crime scene invested going to have to deal with this. we have to take a hats off to everyone who actually got involved with this search and admits that these the trolls who need to be exposed. i'm afraid. peter, what have to the end of have we learned to the end of the day? what do you take away from all of this in terms of police resources and in terms of the way these searches are undertaken , in terms of lessons undertaken, in terms of lessons for the future ? i think in the for the future? i think in the column space was the here that the police comes at peace with

the police comes at peace with the big one saying that, you know, the just detracting from everything think we need to learn the police are under—resourced. there are no police underwater search units, hardly in the uk. now we cover the whole of the south—east for all the police forces they got disbanded sussex disbanded thames valley. what the next one is nottingham and there needs to be investment to get get that back in place to assist in these inquiries . specialist diver inquiries. specialist diver peter faulding talking to eamonn and isabel this morning and defend his part the in the search for nicola. well joining me now is the editor of lancashire post, nicola adams. good morning nicola, thank you very much for joining good morning nicola, thank you very much forjoining me. good morning nicola, thank you very much forjoining me . what very much forjoining me. what did you make of peter assessment there that she couldn't possibly if this is the body of nicola and we're expecting to find out any minute really from the lancashire police. but if this is the body of nicola bulley that he's saying it's impossible

that he's saying it's impossible that she could have in at that she could have fallen in at the it that far down the and made it that far down the and made it that far down the river. those of us who the river. for those of us who aren't familiar with area, aren't familiar with that area, why that? nicola why would he say that? nicola and it's , you know, i'm not an and it's, you know, i'm not an expert on these things, you know, so i can't say exactly . know, so i can't say exactly. but obviously she's they thought that she'd fallen in close to where the bench she'd left the phone where the dog was running loose which is this this this bit's deep water. there's bits of water, it's, it's of shallow water, but it's, it's not tidal of river. so not the tidal of the river. so it doesn't quite as it doesn't move quite as quickly. so i think the and it was it would have been obvious if she kind of gone across area. it's very shallow just that she would have had to actually go across the weir so i think it was so unlikely that that's happened without her seen the stretch beyond which is there's about a mile before the spot where the body was found yesterday the is tidal it moves little more quickly it's very wide and very deep in places and there's a lot of vegetation and

reeds and things that a body potentially could get caught in. so you know, you would have thought it would have been spotted, but it is it is quite a long stretch of river. there without being an expert on these things, i'm not sure why they. didn't find the body, but, you know, obviously she's just been carried by the river down there. if it is nicola. yeah. huge impact on the local area there. nicola. this particular sort of village town where not even a town really is it where the police family and paul and so partner and the, the little girls who think are six and a97 and nine and what's the impact there locally for you? what are you hearing from people it's interesting because i think like interesting because i think like in st michael's the kind of take on it is slightly different than has been the wider take particularly with regards to the police generally found people in michael's have been you know

super of the police and they excited mean you know they operate the police operation investigation has been really thorough and really quite intense and they can see that they've been working hard so that they're generally quite supportive of the police not not impressed by the kind of the face of go on the investigation itself. i think, you know, peter faulding mentioned that probably the comms issues are where potentially the police are falling down, but certainly in the village itself, you know, it's been such a difficult three weeks is it is very small. right. it's under 700 people live in michael's and they have all found and found themselves in the spotlight , you know, and in the spotlight, you know, and not what you know. it's not something used to something they're used to in st michael's. it's not. so i news, you know, that falls on our news radar and it's radar very frequently and it's been very difficult. i just just being in that public glare, a lot of them have felt accused of things. they felt like they're being know, they thought being you know, they thought they something they were culpable in something and been asked to be or, and they've been asked to be or, you know, ticktock and of

recorder and just the volume of people that have, you know, a combination of place oppressive, you know, sort of most of gawker, which people and you know, just people searching you know, just people searching you know lot of these people have know a lot of these people have you know, the best intentions. it's not all, you know, just people, evilly trying people, you know, evilly trying to do something. i most to do something. i just most people trying help but it people are trying to help but it has a lot of people to has been a lot of people to michael's. i'm sure. well, michael's. yeah i'm sure. well, thank nicola, joining thank you, nicola, for joining us. out on the editor of us. nicole out on the editor of the lancashire post. as i the lancashire post. and as i say, when we hear anything from lancashire police. we will bring you that as soon as we possibly can in of the can in terms of the identification of this body that was yesterday in reeds was found yesterday in the reeds on the wyre , a couple on the river wyre, a couple who were walking dog. so there's were out walking dog. so there's a brewing tory tax row ahead of the march the 15th budget with the march the 15th budget with the prime minister facing pressure from his own backbenches to avoid raising corporation tax and liam halligan. this is partly your fault . i halligan. this is partly your fault. i fault you play a role in this story. the newspaper columns and mps read them and

they turn them into letters is what happened. so this goes back to last spring when rishi sunak was the chance before the chancellor, before the talks , chancellor, before the talks, and he passed a law in march 2013 to that in april 2023. corporation which is the main tax on business profits, big and small businesses , would go up small businesses, would go up from 19 to 25. that was then reversed by liz truss in quasi court saying remember them and when they were ousted it was then reversed. so the increase in march 2023 from 19 to 25% was reinstated by chancellor jeremy hunt. now i've been writing columns about this saying that in my view, if you raise corporation tax now at a time when lots of businesses are suffering energy bills going through the roof for firms a of firms in april beth will lose any government support they have with their energy bills. we spent billions during furlough keeping various companies alive . and so i've questioned the obe

are the office of budget responsibility . these responsibility. these assumptions that raising the corporation tax rate would actually make money. they reckon it would make actually make money. they reckon it would mak a year it would make £18 billion a year by i reckon that's true by 2027. i reckon that's true because i think it will kill lot of businesses. i think raising corporation tax by this much actually cost the treasury money because it will kill off more businesses. that money will raise from existing businesses that survive. and i've been writing this in my telegraph column for the last three or four weeks, really going out and finding numbers. and remember, last we showed a film , i went to last we showed a film, i went to sutton coldfield . there was a sutton coldfield. there was a guy there running cleveland fasteners and incredible little manufacturing , fasteners and incredible little manufacturing, making fasteners and incredible little manufacturing , making rivets and manufacturing, making rivets and making it . manufacturing, making rivets and making it. this manufacturing, making rivets and making it . this is a company set making it. this is a company set up to make the rivets that originally held spitfires. i remember unbelievable company and literally speaking tax and he's literally speaking tax as we say about this corporation tax and since then astrazeneca the pharmaceuticals giant said publicly we were going to put this big new factory in the uk

actually now we're going to put it in the republic of ireland because they've got a 12 and a half % rate of corporations tax half% rate of corporations tax and you're raising your rate of corporation tax. your article became got put on became a letter which got put on the of, hey, so what the desk of, hey, well, so what happened then i've been writing happened then? i've been writing about this in the telegraph some other journalists been other journalists have been piling centre for piling a group called centre for brexit policy who very well connected with the tory party. they wrote a letter and they asked various industrialists to sign it, economists to sign it, back benchers to sign it. they asked me to sign it, but i refused because i thought that be wrong from a sort of ofcom regulatory point of view. and we're in regulated we're obviously in regulated channel. i i can only put forward a point of view, can't be seen actively be seen to be actively campaigning but a lot of industrialists signed this letter, a lot of letter, but also a lot of conservative backbenchers signed this backbench who are this letter. backbench who are leaders particular groups . so leaders of particular groups. so there the leader of european there was the leader of european research group, mark francois. there the of the there was the leader of the conservative growth group, simon clarke, the former levelling up secretary. that was the leader of what we call the no turning

back redwood very back group. john redwood very known, very erudite, tory mp. and if you add up all the members of all of these groups and you don't double count, you're looking at about 50 or 60 tory mps . so that would tory mps. so that would wipe—outs yeah. rishi sunak's majority if these tory mps say look, we really think it's mad raise corporation tax in this march budget or what they want on march 15th is for hunt to stand . given that we need to stand. given that we need to campaign to be tory leader. he wants a 15% rate of corporation tax. yeah. what happened is they say they want to say look the economy is you know there's a yeah there's a bit of a recovery coming. interest rates are now probably peaked inflation is coming down. we actually think it would be wrong when we're trying to get the economy moving to raise corporation tax . that's to raise corporation tax. that's what backbenchers want. what these backbenchers want. that's industrialists that's lots of industrialists want and it's not just big business. there's a lot of small businesses corporation tax businesses pay corporation tax too. and this can take 6% of

their margin quickly. energy bills what's happening bills support what's happening for people out there who are worried in but worry worried in april, but worry still up in the air in april. we're expecting the energy price cap , which is the government cap, which is the government subsidy to the average household energy bill. we're expecting it to go up. yes up from two and a half grants of three grand, even though wholesale prices have been coming down and the government's going to have to sort this out because if energy bills go up in april, when people like me are going on about reality wholesale about the reality that wholesale electricity are electricity, gas prices are coming there will be a coming down, there will be a serious backlash as serious political backlash as companies right. serious political backlash as companies right . all companies companies right. all companies in april lose all their energy support . so, again, this is support. so, again, this is something i've been a launching here on gb newsroom before i went to that pub in kent few weeks ago and the guy there, his energy bill went from 20 grand to 80 grand and now it's going to 80 grand and now it's going to go up again. only like steelmakers. i'm very, very energy intensive manufacturers are getting any help in a few

pubuc are getting any help in a few public sector bodies . it just public sector bodies. it just feels it almost deliberately and they've got to do something to help businesses i think the corporation tax is the obvious one. if you want to support business, they can probably that's where that's going to say a key message for us is small companies pay corporation tax to this not just about the big this is not just about the big high about small high rollers, it's about small companies. they need a leg up. if we're going to get this economy. but you know what the small companies be able to handle it. the big companies can probably ride out. they can. probably ride it out. they can. they move between they they can move money between jurisdiction they can get jurisdiction runs. they can get more they use jurisdiction runs. they can get moroffsets. they use jurisdiction runs. they can get moroffsets. yeah, they use jurisdiction runs. they can get moroffsets. yeah, it'sey use jurisdiction runs. they can get moroffsets. yeah, it's the use the offsets. yeah, it's the small companies desperately small companies they desperately need in because need that margin in because that's what they used to reinvest just the reinvest just to grow the economy and create jobs. absolutely. well, talking about. thanks, liam, as talking of people who've got lots of money and probably might have to spend and probably might have to spend a bit more , the forthcoming a bit more, the forthcoming future is prince andrew . should future is prince andrew. should he get to keep hi s £30 million he get to keep his £30 million home, seeing as he's got no royal is going to be royal duty is going to be debating that with my panellists

in few minutes

good morning. it's 1125. good morning. it's1125. this is 10th day on gb news. thanks for watching us. still to come this morning, uk retailers slashed almost 15,000 jobs since the start of 2023. are we being slowly ? could you lose your job slowly? could you lose your job to a robot? stick around. we'll be discussing this later on. but first, my guests are still here with me. my panel. i'm delighted this morning. nhs doctor rennie, who decamp and a broadcaster lawyer futurist andrew abel . so lawyer futurist andrew abel. so should prince keep his lawyer futurist andrew abel. so should prince keep hi s £30 should prince keep his £30 million mansion discussed? andrew bowen well i think it's very interesting this he's now inherited a lot of money. prince andrew and i know probably the tiniest violin ever that you can find with people out with a bit of sympathy. so always denied the allegations even though he paid reputedly the allegations even though he paid reputedly £12 million to somebody he may never have met.

and there's all sorts of evidence being offered that it might a fake photo in might have been a fake photo in this era when you can't have fake photos and we've spoken about this very. now about that on this very. but now what's happening? he's what's happening? he's he's worried charles will, worried that king charles will, stop his allowance . stop him having his allowance. £249,000. and as a result. yeah so he has caused a million quid. he had just his way for just because he's no longer royal duties. but this is what the queen to give him but to stay in a £30 million house costs a lot of money because you can't do lots of repairs and so on and so forth. so as i say, it's a sob story, which i think when people are talking about heating or eating is going to get the great british behind it british public behind them. it really i think it really isn't. but i think it plays into the arrogance the plays into the arrogance of the duke i really do. i mean duke york. i really do. i mean from what i've about him, from what i've read about him, he's very, very inflated he's very very, very inflated opinion his own self worth opinion of his own self worth and his intelligence apparently, neither as as neither of which are as good as he thinks and this is he thinks they are. and this is the that feels able, as you the fact that feels able, as you rightly andrew, in this rightly say, and andrew, in this time when people really are struggling their homes, struggling to heat their homes, to that he not be

to moan that he might not be able in hi s £30 million able to stay in his £30 million house of that. house is just evidence of that. he's arrogant. he's away he's just arrogant. he's away with fairies. out of with the fairies. he's out of touch with people. and frankly, as said, he inherited a from as you said, he inherited a from his father when he died with his mother he died. i mother when he died. i don't believe for that he believe for a second that he can't afford to pay his can't afford to pay for his house. he doesn't want to. house. he just doesn't want to. yes, absolutely right. yes, you're absolutely right. and , you've all been and in fact, you've all been getting touch we were getting in touch of we were talking harry earlier. and talking about harry earlier. and a of saying that a lot of you are saying that actually has walked away from actually he has walked away from his royal duties. this is the one i like they said even princess ham, the queen's daughter who carries out endless events, ever gets events, yet only ever gets protection official events. protection at official events. harry and meghan would have been the same. trouble is, the same. the trouble is, princess is so wonderful. she she's so wonderful. daytime boils , any voile that comes out boils, any voile that comes out and so you always go what would princess and do? i would say my litmus test is the litmus test. and she's brilliant as the and she's brilliant as being the great ambassador for things like the and on and so the olympics and so on and so forth and around the world. she calls is. you have the calls it, as is. you have the honour of meeting her. and she

was brilliant and she was a spare, but didn't feel the spare, but she didn't feel the need whinge about it and need to whinge about it and write a book. i'd love to write a book. yes, i'd love to know what she thinks this. know what she thinks about this. oh, can probably oh, i think we can probably guess she about guess what she thinks about this. up the break. this. coming up after the break. yeah, if you're watching, do do get touch gbviews@gbnews.uk , get touch gbviews@gbnews.uk, right? in ukraine. this is right? biden in ukraine. this is a story that's just broken this morning. a televised joint statement flanked biden zelenskyy has said that the democratic world has to win, has to win this historic fights . are to win this historic fights. are you being swept along this tide of kind enthusiasm? well, it's a very big brush that they use it. i can tell you that. i mean, i felt very a couple of weeks ago when i watched all of our elected mp phone and fall over themselves to actually look at zelenskyy and shake his hands like he was the second coming of jesus is absolutely ridiculous. we cancelled five ministers question times to just accept sycophantic questions when again we have people in this country who can't afford to heat their homes . and now we've got biden

homes. and now we've got biden ukraine, the most important visit ever . look, i ukraine, the most important visit ever. look, i think we need some balance in this. i think we need to actually turn the spotlight home and say, look, this is terrible. nobody in ukraine should be suffering because putin wants take them oven because putin wants take them over. but at the same time, we have an awful lot of suffering and i want some of that that seems to be eternal on ukraine turned home. yeah, i think there are two things to this. i again providing balance of war is you're suggesting we're not, but i'm suggesting we all about it. so that's the whole point. and the great thing about this show is that we look at points of is that we look at all points of view, can guarantee that view, and i can guarantee that both ukrainians and russians don't. this war is reality . don't. this war is the reality. and know the greatest. and they also know the greatest. and they also know the greatest. and biden missed a trick. and they also know the greatest. and biden missed a trick . joe and biden missed a trick. joe biden is an anagram of be joined and you look that sort of thing of course is a opportunity after photo opportunity and after photo opportunity and after photo opportunity. we need stop the war because not benefiting anybody and the more we plough money into it and the longer it

carries on it's awful. so would you be in support of us giving jets, giving more firepower? i would . i'm jets, giving more firepower? i would. i'm going . but i think would. i'm going. but i think it's going to drag on forever because the more they throwing acid on, both sides. so we are in a ridiculous situation now where we are being accused by france and germany not having a military strong enough that we could had nato as we give everything we have and money on top, you know, this is just ridic killer situation. and actually i have thought it was such a massive risk for the leader of the world as he is known to pitch in kyiv today. you know why did he need to do it ? very good question. it's it? very good question. it's a pay it? very good question. it's a pay off . you know what he needs pay off. you know what he needs to do because every other world leaders go to do well. he's got a good old trump chomping at his heels . and you've got all those heels. and you've got all those things you want. and is the things you want. and this is the problem i've got . it's problem that i've got. it's using a terrible maybe pr purposes or people to question

that. what is the narrative you want to be the biggest superstar in the world at the moment, harry? you turn around and say, look, you have your things. he's always going his battle always going to wear his battle fatigues. going to fatigues. he's not going to dress a suit but that's dress up in a suit but that's what you've got to try and do. and that's what i find objectionable in is that war objectionable in way is that war is horrible for is horrible. it's horrible for both the for the both sides of the for the civilians. i say civilians civilians. and i say civilians on sides it goes on both sides because it goes out very, very out for the very, very profitable. don't forget , the profitable. don't forget, the military industrial people should look at that as well. question is question everything is important, both important, right? thank both very still to uk very much. now still to come, uk retailers have slashed nearly 15,000 the start 15,000 jobs since the start of the with warning the year with experts warning that the that more come. what's the government to help ? i'll government doing to help? i'll tell morning's tell you after the morning's news . good morning. it's 1132 news. good morning. it's 1132 here. the headlines in the gb newsroom. president biden has made a surprise visit to kiev ahead of the anniversary of russia's invasion. meeting president zelensky, he said the states would stand with ukraine

nicola bulley has spoken of the family's agony after body was found yesterday in the river near to where she went missing. lancashire police are working provide a formal identification of the body which was found in the water a mile from where nicola was last seen. they're currently the death as unexplained . the 45 year old unexplained. the 45 year old disappeared more than three weeks ago, whilst her dog peter faulding , who led a private faulding, who led a private search of the for river nicola, says he still doesn't believe she drowned . more than 11,000 she drowned. more than 11,000 health care workers from the gmb and unite unions in england and wales are walking out today in their continuing dispute . pay their continuing dispute. pay and staffing. the workers include ambulance workers , include ambulance workers, paramedics and call handlers . paramedics and call handlers. gmb says it's over a month since the government engaged in meaningful dialogue. elsewhere where the result of a ballot of around 45,000 junior doctors is expected to be announced later

today by the british medical association . tv online and a association. tv online and a b plus radio. this is. association. tv online and a b plus radio. this is . 15,000 plus radio. this is. 15,000 thousand retail jobs have been cut since the start of the year. it's a complicated issue about onune it's a complicated issue about online shopping and all those tales with no human beings on them. frankly we're going to be talking about that in just a moment .

welcome back. it's today. so figures from the centre for retail research show that uk retail research show that uk retail hours have slashed nearly 15,000 jobs since the start of this year due to collapses and restructurings on the high street. experts warn that the brutal start of the year could rise as a living squeeze is lowered. customer power. well it's tell me more is gb news is west midlands reporter jack

carson. good jack anybody that went into a shop over the weekend we can see this change happening before our very eyes even. happening before our very eyes even . the supermarkets that went even. the supermarkets that went into had one tale with a human being on it and the rest of them. i was doing the job myself. that's what's happening, isn't it ? well this report out isn't it? well this report out today from the centre for retail research outlines it's just since the start of the year we're only still in february, but there's thousand either job cuts or announced losses coming this year and the fact is the report also says that there's unlikely to be any respite from . this as well, when we break it down, around 3000 of those job losses are coming . companies and losses are coming. companies and businesses going to in administration or insolvency we know on the high street we're losing the likes of paperchase and co as but the bulk the majority of these losses around 11 and a half thousand of them coming from big coming from companies big companies with ten or more stores across the country as supermarkets shutting down

stores and trying to cut costs because they've got to keep of course, within consumer budgets, their own higher energy costs. and of course , their own taxes and of course, their own taxes as well one of those, of course, business rates know they're going to be reset on on the 1st of april in a national revolt nafion of april in a national revolt nation with the treasury saying around business are going to save around 20% on on bills and they're also going to receive around a 75% discount on those on those rates up to up a cap of aroun d £110,000. so that might around £110,000. so that might be very beneficial for smaller, more independent businesses, but for the bigger businesses like asda, like wilko, your high street stores, so they've got multiple across the country. the fact is that cap means they're not going to necessarily benefit so much and they're still going to have to cut costs in what what companies are doing is a rationalisation essentially . we rationalisation essentially. we know on the high street, the high street is changing new look have already five stores iceland have already five stores iceland have announced they're going to close five stores over the next

few months marks and spencers one of stores you can see one of the stores you can see behind a company. they say behind as a company. they say they're going to close around half stores this year half a dozen stores this year and possibly we know more and possibly we don't know more to depending on the to come, depending on the situation. we know how much situation. but we know how much the pandemic also affected the high street? 26.5% of our shopping is now done online. and so that's going to mean that the high street going to change and businesses have to adapt where those reductions go. well know a lot of people are starting to socialise use the high street for bars and for restaurants rather than just necessarily shopping . and so there'll be shopping. and so there'll be a lot of people that work retail that are concerned by these about how safe and secure their job is. but it just means the high street seems to be changing rather than necessarily dying . rather than necessarily dying. thank you, jack. jack there in the midlands. so joining me for more with this is retail expert jeremy baker. good morning, jeremy. good morning. this change seems to have happened incredibly quickly . we've got

incredibly quickly. we've got much more automation , people much more automation, people buying online and, not able to go into a store. is this a positive change, do you think ? positive change, do you think? in the end is positive, yes . in the end is positive, yes. retail has changed. sweeping over the previous chain before covid is a luxury indulgence. lots of branches. spend, spend, spend and then we came around and now this recession comes along and that's everything. once they back simplify back to the minimum that you can , that's the minimum that you can, that's going to come to an end and a whole new era start again. and this is the way retail develops. is kind of , this is the way retail develops. is kind of, you know, a kind of tough way of being if you work in retail , tough way of being if you work in retail, you've tough way of being if you work in retail , you've always got to in retail, you've always got to be looking for the thing. and so we talk about online artificial intelligence . retail has always intelligence. retail has always been big at that sort of the stock control has always been very computerised . they sort of

very computerised. they sort of invented tesco invented watching the consumer . tesco card very the consumer. tesco card very computerised . tesco could tell computerised. tesco could tell you when you got before you knew yourself you know your change in behaviour you're buying . so at behaviour you're buying. so at the moment we are coming to the end of a terrible era. cut back simply by boring minimum and then a new era will start again . i don't see why . it shouldn't . i don't see why. it shouldn't start in the summer coronation. coming up, something you know i think the last coronation everyone had to buy a tv. here's the thing, jeremy let me let me just. sorry to interrupt you, but i have some questions. just. sorry to interrupt you, but i have some questions . and but i have some questions. and this this might be very good for the people that own these companies that they no longer have such a large wage bill. i'm that it have such a large wage bill. i'm thatitis have such a large wage bill. i'm that it is not good for the customer. so anyone went shopping this weekend? i one of

them and stood at those awful self—checkout tills which never work. and there's one poor woman normally running around trying to put her purse in all of the tills because. none of them work, everyone stood work, and everyone stood there with on their hips. with their hands on their hips. where get their where are people to get their jobs i don't want to buy jobs from? i don't want to buy everything online. so as a customer i'm dissatisfied and as a l customer i'm dissatisfied and as a , there will be no a employee, there will be no jobs for these people about 3 million jobs in retail and some number like that. and so it's bad . paperchase and coming back, bad. paperchase and coming back, you know, going bust, that is very sad but if you work in, you've got to be very agile . you you've got to be very agile. you got to switch to as visual intelligence if you're working. have you taken your artificial intelligence course . now, now is intelligence course. now, now is the time to do it. because everything will be affected . and everything will be affected. and emotionally, retail is very reaching out to people . so reaching out to people. so i think in the summer will have a

kind of the end of the cutback era and some sort of happy new development. and we're not sure what it is yet, but that's the way retail goes. it's is constantly changing and a . new constantly changing and a. new and minimal clutter doesn't get rid of the things that's in place at the present time. we're in a new thing will come along. we're not sure what it is, but, you know, come back in three months time and suddenly new emerge and i'll be and most spending. thank you, jeremy. jamie bake that retail expert i would love andrew able and to share jeremy's enthuses awesome and his positivity he said in the summer what's going to happen between now and the summit to make my shopping experience to give some jobs back to those 15,000 people who've and there's who've lost them. and there's two as and we always two things here as and we always this conversation the i told this conversation but the i told so moment and every job that can be automated will be automated. we said this is a customer's is well think and this is where

those in terms of customer service you're phoning up people andifs service you're phoning up people and it's they call the imitation game and that's one of the tests which they cheering did you talk about and say you can fool somebody into believing talking to a real person when it'll into a machine. that's the imitation game. yes and what's going to happenis game. yes and what's going to happen is you're right. you need to the greatest experience. happen is you're right. you need to it's the greatest experience. happen is you're right. you need to it's a the greatest experience. happen is you're right. you need to it's a worse eatest experience. happen is you're right. you need to it's a worse experience,'ience. if it's a worse experience, that's thing. that's not a positive thing. that's a and your that's a negative. and your feedback very helpful on feedback is very helpful on that. always that that. i've always that information is power what i've said over for many is you said over for many years is you is i predicted this moment as the moment when i intelligence will replace lots of jobs. it's when robotics will be replaced and it will firstly the idea sounds i was going to say i predicted it is evolution what happens with any technological that's what's going to happen. it does mean you're right. you need to look at new jobs the way that the workforce is going to be shaped. tell me we need to look at new jobs that. jeremy has just said we've got to have a big by the summer. what are

these jobs going to a these new jobs going to be? a swimming lifeguard? i'm swimming pool lifeguard? i'm trying what the trying to work out what the summer job find. that's the problem. what's to problem. so what's going to happen need to educate happen is you need to educate people a different sort of mindset. if are lazy mindset. so if you are lazy mindset, not enough is mindset, well, not enough is a lazy mindset. can work in lazy mindset. you can work in terms will be more leisure terms of will be more leisure time is what i've said before had but i know but the difference but every difference but you every revolution technology revolution you have a technology point i'm well i'm point of view i'm well i'm not being harbinger doom you being the harbinger of doom you to say well i'm trying to tell you the most smiley harbinger of doom you know, doom i've ever seen. you know, i think the last sentence of think that the last sentence of that all up that that clip summed it all up that retail and things have retail evolves and things have to go. this is those things are human beings and are two human beings and there are two sides this, not only do we sides to this, not only do we know that speaking as know that i'm speaking as a doctor that working is for doctor now that working is for people's mental health. we also know that for people you know that one in seven over fifties do not speak to another human being . seven days and sometimes being. seven days and sometimes the only human being they speak to is at supermarket checkout or they stand next to me in a line because. i talk to them. this is

all heading towards universal bafic all heading towards universal basic income, where people sit , basic income, where people sit, their backsides getting fatter and unhealthier and their mental health decreases . i think it's health decreases. i think it's appalling and i don't think many of those people are or want to be retrained to be coders or designers , which are also very designers, which are also very isolated . we are losing our isolated. we are losing our human touch in everything we do . and i said before, and it is greatest opportunity, but it's also our existing civil threat. are you okay? i mean, universal bafic are you okay? i mean, universal basic income is being trialled in wales at the moment as a solution to this problem. it's a neo communist future . are you neo communist future. are you happy with that? i'm not at all happy, but i about that sort of side, i think there's a difference between what i'm as a futurist back to the futurist is what we're saying is that this is what's going to happen. so you be forewarned and you have to be forewarned and what you've touched on is absolutely right. don't absolutely right. we don't disagree at all. people disagree on that at all. people need it's tragic that need jobs. it's tragic that these being people these are being lost. but people should be prepared. it's going to and it's a bit people

to happen. and it's a bit people make jokes about paperchase folding. work that folding. i mean, you work that sort their human lives sort of basis. their human lives behind what you to behind this. what you need to do? work because do? we need to work because that's they rightly said, that's when they rightly said, yeah, we to have a purpose in without an office in walking without an office in an walking to otherwise it to people but otherwise it affects mental health affects our mental health affects our mental health affects physical and affects our physical health and so forth. what i can so on and so forth. what i can do is to tell you what's going to happen so we can forewarning feels that this sort of basic because as low as a people telling us changes are telling us these changes are happening need tell happening you don't need to tell me. it at the weekend. me. i can see it at the weekend. i can every shop i went to at i can in every shop i went to at the weekend, i was seeking out the weekend, i was seeking out the with being on it the tills with the being on it and having a conversation. the ridiculous perspex screens which are was are still there. and i was talking to every single one of these people, the public these poor people, the public thought, here thought, just want to come here and job. i keep getting and do my job. i keep getting this up, nagging. but this almost up, nagging. but i was saying to them, are you happy fact that you're the happy with fact that you're the only person telly? you've only person on the telly? you've got nine behind with got nine tills behind you with nine customers nine frustrated customers on them they all just said no, them and they all just said no, but we don't have a choice. and i muddying the i think that's muddying the water advances water about advances in technology that's technology because that's not for not an advantage.

for me, that's not an advantage. what we're moving what that is, is we're moving human element. you need to have where you can interaction, where you can have interaction, which real shame when you which is the real shame when you close post close out things like post office and and so on office and banks and so on and so people people. when so people need people. when i talk efficiencies, it's to talk about efficiencies, it's to make lives better make people's lives better because. make no mistake, these changes are to benefit the profit of the companies that are making less making them. they have less people to worry about, people to employ national insurance employ less national insurance and people. and tax to pay on those people. so our go. make no so our revenues go. make no mistake i actually tweeted mistake and i actually tweeted last we were last night didn't know we were doing story today, but doing this story today, but i tweeted about an ad i got on my twitter feed from big bank twitter feed from a big bank that to our friendly chat that said to our friendly chat bot one a chatbot. ever bot, yes, one is a chatbot. ever done what you want to do done what you want it to do would be how a chatbot would be how is a chatbot friendly? don't , but it will friendly? i don't, but it will be. but but that's the day i said we're mixing two different things. there's one. it will be more we should never more efficient. we should never be to technology. be a slave to technology. technology to technology should be there to empower us the extent it empower us to the extent it takes that human takes away that human intelligence. when i'm at the supermarket, i am supermarket, then i it i am checking out my own shopping this like, hang on a this week. i was like, hang on a minute. i'm doing someone's job minute. i'm doing someone'sjob here. i'm not getting my

shopping cheaper. i'm shopping isn't any cheaper. i'm not to do someone's not getting paid to do someone's job. so someone's the job. so someone's taken the mickey top of mickey at the top of this business. but that's business. well but that's just a small element mean, checking small element i mean, checking self—checkout has been for a long that's not really long time. that's not really a shunning role. is a shining shunning role. it is a shining example , not the whole bank of example, not the whole bank of tales in a supermarket, because people absolutely and people you absolutely right and i with you. i do agree i agree with you. i do agree with you. i think people need human interaction for the reasons mentioned. reasons i've mentioned. what angela? it's efficiency , angela? it's about efficiency, about being about technology being empowering us to do other things. it's not about the negative side where we need to interact , don't need to feel interact, don't need to feel empowered . i can't think of a empowered. i can't think of a single evidence or exhibit, maybe something more efficient mean something like i gave example on a doctor surgery or things like that. we talked about inefficient sources when i occupied many studios around the world. what we often talk about, ithank world. what we often talk about, i thank you. what we often talk aboutis i thank you. what we often talk about is not about wages and so on and so forth. it's about inefficiency. and to the extent can improve efficiency, that's got to be good. so why i say that, what you're talking about is positive appointment with a

is a positive appointment with a human being. yeah, online . fine, human being. yeah, online. fine, as as they can do this. my as long as they can do this. my gp said you and i try and do that. so sorry service is that. so sorry that service is not available yet, but there's a problem have thought problem with who'd have thought little britain would be so computer says no computer says no. hitting no. that's what we're hitting all tech is just all the time. the tech is just not there's a real not working. there's a real opportunity some business to opportunity for some business to seize on this because don't seize on this because i don't think feeling like this think i'm in feeling like this to this that there to seize on this idea that there are who want beings are customers who want beings and they want choice. they want interaction, actually make a virtue. up a chain of virtue. it set up a chain of shops say only have shops which say we only have human working on human beings working on our tails. will have someone tails. we will only have someone in the end. we think when you ring human being and ring up a human being and we take that's a place i'm take that, that's a place i'm going to spend my money right. talking you've talking of money you've supported mistake supported a mistake in the headunesi supported a mistake in the headlines i always about headlines i always talk about i love is about media watching and people often just people will often just regurgitate headlines in the news. not here not here. we everything. that's what i love about the show. it's on the front of who front page of the times who i love. i love the times but it does say follow in pound house price and walter he

price rise. and walter what he goes on say is the average goes on to say is the average cost of a home in britain has by only cost of a home in britain has by 011le £14 to £362,452 and only £14 to £362,452 and increase . of 3.9. well i don't increase. of 3.9. well i don't know how it is. 14 quid, 3.9. so i did maths and i thought how would means that your house is 389 quid bought everybody's here today. that's why clearly not buy the house. sold it out. they clarify later page 18 that actually that was like the monthly. but the headline this is the point about just reading headunes. is the point about just reading headlines . the headline is headlines. the headline is misleading , headlines. the headline is misleading, being headlines. the headline is misleading , being picked up by misleading, being picked up by all of the negatives regurgitated it shows b&b is and we've seen this over the last three years how all news media just grabs the headline which is not absolutely representing what the is and runs with it. the story is and runs with it. and then people read it, regurgitate it, believe it and it's hard then to dissuade them . just let me go to some of your views that you've been sending in this morning. you know what, really lit your fuse this and

litter on the motorways and on the roads. thank you. my inbox lit up with this one gary says i'm so you've told us about the litter on the motorways. it isn't the fault of the litter pickers or the highway people. it's the disgusting humans that dump it of the windows. it's dump it out of the windows. it's our taxpayers have to our taxpayers money who have to clear that's not way. clear it up. that's not the way. and says, we british are and george says, we british are a race . during my years a scruffy race. during my years at merchant navy, the at sea in the merchant navy, the dirty, scruffy sports i visited were here in the uk. lots you were here in the uk. lots of you infuriated and what you infuriated about and what you want to talk about. nice. we do a little bit on roald dahl before go. please. shall before we go. oh, please. shall we? roald dahl. charlie we? yeah so roald dahl. charlie and chocolate were and the chocolate factory were amazing. probably the amazing. of course, probably the world's children's world's greatest children's fiction . but now charlie fiction writer. but now charlie and factory . not and the chocolate factory. not appropriate. not, renee appropriate. why not, renee well, because augustus gloop is now enormous , not fat. but we now enormous, not fat. but we know he is fat. and the horse woman isn't horse face. she just has a face. i it's just the lump is on now that i love the green

orange or colour at all. i think this is the one of our biggest weapon in this world is language . yes. and i think and it's one of our greatest powers. the word is mightier than the sword. but boy, that swords getting blunted by the current world brigade. this is such a wrong wrong thing . we need to embrace language we need to turn around and that language taking little snippets out and rewording it is i think this is a benchmark. out and rewording it is i think this is a benchmark . this is an this is a benchmark. this is an attack on language. language always changes. we know that it evolves. dictionaries changed the old word . we laugh at new the old word. we laugh at new words in the dictionary because of usage. this is not of common usage. this is not that. this is a concerted effort to attack our language . and it's to attack our language. and it's all about dumbing down and making everybody the same. i've just alice the bfg and every time i say something like with a bottle burp she looks up at me , bottle burp she looks up at me, laughs because she it and the bit about roald dahl whatever kind of money was was he was able to garner that imagination in children that we lose as we

grow up where they love those words smells numbers you look absolutely love it and to take that away we have no new had no say over this they go and by a roald dahl book and it's already been edited so i say this by hand books go back to the old editions and read your children what they want to read and take back parental responsibility for what your children can read. but isn't it funny because it is this theme again that we talk about all the time about somebody else deciding what is best for us. so deciding what is best for us. so deciding what is best for us. so deciding what is best for our children and i think these books, particularly telling the child to fight with the humour, is in these caricatures . that's what they caricatures. that's what they are they are characters and they are they are characters and they are caricatures. humour doesn't work. augustus gloop gets work. if augustus gloop gets stuck in that tube because he's he's a big boat is enormous is not quite so funny. right guys you so much i think we should let you go in love got to be good. you so much . good. renee, thank you so much. right. flown by. thank right. it has flown by. thank you all of your messages as
