politics so the king stay silent on political matters. let me know what you think on that. on the other stories this morning. email me, views at gbnews.uk. email me, gb views at gbnews.uk. and got twitter and we've got a twitter poll going on. king charles, lots ahead this morning. but first, let's you up date with let's get you up to date with what's and around what's happening here and around the tamsin roberts . the world with tamsin roberts. thank you both. good morning from the gb newsroom. it's 10:02. a major search is underway for a newborn baby after a missing couple were arrested in brighton last night . constance marten and mark gordon went missing in early june , sparking a major manhunt june, sparking a major manhunt to find the couple and their child . however, police are still child. however, police are still searching for their baby who was thought to be just days old when they disappeared . the prime they disappeared. the prime minister is in northern ireland this morning after securing a new brexit trade deal with the european union. rishi sunak he struck the deal with the eu

commissioner. ursula von der leyen says the winds of framework would deliver smooth, flowing, free trade across the uk, whilst protecting northern ireland's sovereignty . however, ireland's sovereignty. however, the deal still does allow for some oversight by the european court of justice . conservative court of justice. conservative backbench mp and the dup are now analysing the details of the deal. analysing the details of the deal . but the head of the deal. but the head of the unionist party says he still has some concerns . political analyst some concerns. political analyst leo imrali says this will be good for business. i think it's universally been welcomed by business because that was the key issue with the former deal was that the paperwork and the bureaucracy to trade between northern ireland and great britain was just burdensome. and this has removed some of that. there's an opportunity now also for closer links between the uk and the european union on other areas of trade, for example, electric vehicles and other areas of growth that may come about the future . well, we about in the future. well, we can cross now live to county county antrim, where the prime

minister is making a statement risk expressing . hello everyone. risk expressing. hello everyone. and thank you , miles, for and thank you, miles, for allowing us to host a pm connect event here today . you'd have event here today. you'd have seen i came here not so long ago to see your massive investment in the new monster lines here. and both the pm and i both respect and love the coca—cola company for what it does and how it operates across the globe, but especially here. and actually you kind of one of the reasons why the prime minister has spent so much time making sure that we get our negotiations on the protocol . negotiations on the protocol. right. because you operate across all of ireland and we needed to make sure that any new relationship, both looked after those, looked after both those markets, but protected northern ireland's place in our union. now, we think we've managed to do that, but to explain it more, i'd like to hand you over to the

prime minister. well, hi, everybody . thanks, chris. everybody. thanks, chris. thanks, myles, for having us. just before we get going, i know like me, all of you will be thinking of john caldwell and his family and it's absolutely appalling and shocking attack. and i know we're all thinking of them and praying hard for a strong recovery for john, them and praying hard for a strong recovery forjohn, but it's a reminder, actually, that there are some in our society that want to take us back to the past. and i know that none of us want to see that happen. we want to look forward. and actually, that's what saw when chris and that's what i saw when chris and i here. and one of my i were here. and one of my previous visits to the end of last year. we went to last year. and we went to harland and the harland wolff and saw the incredible investment that's going in the new royal navy contracts, are contracts, the jobs that are being created. it was an enormous of promise about enormous sign of promise about what and again, what was possible. and again, miles doing it right here miles is doing it right here with investment with the investment that's happening factory and happening in this factory and facility jobs that are being

facility and jobs that are being created. a sign of what is created. it's a sign of what is possible. that's the possible. and that's the potential am so keen to potential that i am so keen to realise for the people of northern ireland. but i also know that things are not working as they should be and the protocol deal that was negotiated as it was being implemented was causing real challenges for people, for families , for businesses here in families, for businesses here in northern ireland and in too many ways it just didn't feel right. it didn't feel right. it didn't feel that the balance of the belfast good friday agreement that was so painstakingly negotiated and settled for almost a quarter of a century, that balance had been disrupted . and that's why i've spent a lot of time together with chris and others working really hard to try and find a resolution on that thorny issue. and i'm really pleased that i'm over the moon that yesterday we managed to have a decisive breakthrough with our negotiations with the eu, reached agreement, with our negotiations with the eu, reached agreement , the new eu, reached agreement, the new windsor framework that i think is an extraordinary positive step for northern ireland and it

represents, as the european president herself said, a historic moment for us to move forward and resolve some of the difficulties of the past . but difficulties of the past. but what does it achieve? what, in a nutshell, does three things. the first is it ensures that goods can flow freely across all united kingdom internal market, so that if someone is sending something from great britain to northern ireland, we've managed to create something called a green light. so we can just move very smoothly without tonnes of customs paperwork or or customs paperwork or hassle or checks. made sure that checks. we've made sure that that that process feels so anybody as if they're in the same country because they are in the same country and it didn't feel like that before. and that was disrupting businesses and supply has supply lines. so that bit has been which brilliant, been fixed, which is brilliant, but not just but also it's not just businesses that are sending things up and or back and forth across. also people, someone sending granddaughter sending their granddaughter a birthday present in a parcel, someone doing online shopping . someone doing online shopping. all of that was also about to need tonnes of customs hassle and that would have been ridiculous. managed to ridiculous. so we've managed to

fix all of that as well. so things just move freely and things can just move freely and smoothly between great britain and ireland. that's and northern ireland. and that's what line is about. what the green line is about. but also about making sure but it's also about making sure that the same goods are available . and that brings me to available. and that brings me to my second point, and that's about protecting northern ireland's place in our union. now, when you're part of a country, you expect that you get all the same benefits of being part that wherever part of that country wherever you in too many ways, you live. and in too many ways, i didn't feel didn't feel i didn't feel it didn't feel like was working. well, when like it was working. well, when you went to the gardens centre and you couldn't the same and you couldn't get the same oak trees, i remember famously the when we celebrated the jubilee when we celebrated her jubilee, her late majesty's jubilee, there jubilee oaks . there were these jubilee oaks. they in they weren't available in northern garden northern ireland's garden centres. is such an centres. c potato is such an important part of northern ireland's horticultural industry not available , but you think not available, but you think about medicines . we have a about medicines. we have a situation where it was going to be the case that the uk might licence a really impressive new drug to help treat cancer and it wouldn't be available for patients here in northern ireland. when i was chancellor i

was cutting taxes. in fact, i cut taxes on beer duty in pubs , cut taxes on beer duty in pubs, which we can do. once we left the eu, we could say actually we're going to have one tax for beer that you buy elsewhere, but when you're in the pub you want to have a lower tax on beer and we do that. and we could do that. and i announced it and going to announced it and it's going to happen the rest of the uk happen in the rest of the uk this summer, but it wasn't able to happen in northern ireland and that didn't right at and that didn't seem right at all. take your on all. when you take your pet on holiday, it's example holiday, it's another example someone take pet someone coming to take their pet on holiday get a rabies on a holiday to get a rabies jab, to get a certificate from their vet. let's get tapeworm treatment. all is treatment. and that all is clearly ridiculous. so are clearly ridiculous. so those are all ways in which i felt, all the ways in which i felt, hang on, we're not part of the same country. we've same country. well, we've resolved those issues resolved all of those issues thanks the work we've done thanks to the work we've done and crucially, i talked about the take the product available to take the product available to take the hassle getting the hassle of getting a supermarket from great supermarket lorry from great britain to northern ireland with enormous of enormous hundreds of certificates, hundreds of tonnes of bureaucracy to get through it, worse , what was it, and worse, what was available in great britain on the shelves in the supermarkets, which is a bit

which i know is a bit challenging the moment, but challenging at the moment, but is but more is getting better, but more generally available in generally was not available in the shelves in northern ireland and that wasn't and we've and that wasn't right. and we've resolved issues so resolved all those issues so that going to the that there's going to be the same in places, same things in both places, which as it should be. and which is as it should be. and that to the third that brings me on to the third thing. and the third thing is really important about really important is about sovereignty. about all of sovereignty. it's about all of you. making sure you, you. it's about making sure you, the ireland the people of northern ireland and representatives and your elected representatives are that you have are in control and that you have are in control and that you have a say in what happens to you. and i think for too many people it like, hang on, we accept it felt like, hang on, we accept that we have access to the eu market and that's a good thing and accept that we don't want and we accept that we don't want to border on the island to have a border on the island of ireland, a hard border. we accept that and that's a good thing. that we thing. and because of that we recognise there is some recognise that there is some role eu law, but we need to role for eu law, but we need to have say you can't have a say on that. you can't just ignore us when it comes to that and that was what was missing. and we did something really special we really special yesterday. we created thing called created this new thing called a stormont which that stormont break, which means that your out your assembly is going to be out to a look at any of the new to have a look at any of the new eu laws that come down the pipe

and say, hang on, if there's something that's serious something that's really serious that going have a that we think is going have a really and we can't really big impact and we can't find to resolve it, then find any way to resolve it, then we have the ability to say no, we have the ability to say no, we can block it. and at which point uk government will point the uk government will have a on new rule. have a veto on that new rule. and puts you in the driving and that puts you in the driving seat. is a really seat. so that is a really powerful new mechanism that seat. so that is a really power created. �*nechanism that seat. so that is a really power created. itechanism that seat. so that is a really power created. it putsism that seat. so that is a really power created. it puts democracy we've created. it puts democracy and sovereignty northern and sovereignty back in northern ireland and ireland where it belongs. and i think it's a really powerful commitment to of you that commitment to all of you that the that i've heard the concerns that i've heard that chris heard weeks, that chris has heard over weeks, months have been months and years have been listened seriously, listened to, taken seriously, and and here and now acted on. and i'm here to answer your questions. i'm here to listen to you, as i have been over the past months, that i've been over the past months, that pve job been over the past months, that i've job about what we i've had this job about what we can to your lives can do to make your lives better, that's better, because that's ultimately i'm here for ultimately what i'm here for every day when i'm doing this job, i'm figuring how can job, i'm figuring out how can i make a positive difference for all i knew that the all of you? and i knew that the protocol that was protocol was a thing that was making biggest difference, making the biggest difference, the problem. that's making the biggest difference, the we problem. that's making the biggest difference, the we neededilem. that's making the biggest difference, the we needed ton. that's making the biggest difference, the we needed to put that's making the biggest difference, the we needed to put the :hat's making the biggest difference, the we needed to put the most why we needed to put the most effort. and i'm really pleased that we're able to achieve that yesterday. i believe hand yesterday. and i believe hand on heart provides basis

heart that it provides a basis for all the parties, all the communities at it, communities here to look at it, to at the detail, consider to look at the detail, consider it, and they will see that it is a big step forward, that it does address concerns that address the concerns that people have. i hope will allow them have. and i hope will allow them to together , put all the to come together, put all the division and arguments of the past behind us, come together and together and and move forward together and start to look forward to a brighter future northern brighter future for northern ireland. that's what i think is now possible that's what i'd now possible and that's what i'd love to talk all about love to talk to you all about and take your questions. so thank you for having over to thank you for having me over to you . okay. who's going to kick you. okay. who's going to kick it off, right? yes sorry . thank it off, right? yes sorry. thank you. good morning. i wanted to ask you've talked an awful lot about the benefit of the agreement and with regards to uk trade, we're obviously an all ireland business. are there any implications that point of implications from that point of view to consider view that we need to consider knowing that? that's a really important point and it's about balance and we have to recognise

there's a balance to be struck because it's really important to me and to many of you that in all ways, shape and form, that northern ireland is fully part of the united kingdom. we are one country and it can't feel different. it can't be different. it can't be different. and that's why we had some work to do to correct some of those things. at the same of those things. but at the same time, got to recognise time, we've got to recognise that for businesses like one that for businesses like the one we're having access to that we're in, having access to that eu market, ensuring that there's no border north—south on the island of ireland is really important. it's really important for northern ireland's prosperity for jobs , for prosperity for jobs, for opportunity , and that's the opportunity, and that's the balance that we need to strike. and i'm really pleased that we protected that balance because that's something that i heard loud that as much as loud and clear, that as much as we wanted to fix all the problems, we also couldn't lose the thing that valued. the thing that people valued. and that's that's not been easy. it's been work . but we have it's been hard work. but we have protected balance . and protected that balance. and that's why i believe this is the right northern right agreement for northern ireland. like ireland. so businesses like yours trade yours will continue to trade freely , source on the

freely, source freely on the island of ireland whilst having much easier access and flow between great britain and northern ireland. and in all senses for identity . everyone senses for identity. everyone feeling that part of one country. that is what we've been able achieve. but you're able to achieve. but you're right highlight that. we need right to highlight that. we need to think about that as well. and we it for yours we have protected it for yours and other business and every other business that wants right. who's next? wants that right. who's next? yes, this . thank you . and given yes, this. thank you. and given the climate crisis and recent food shortages, is it time for the uk to reconsider its position in the single market to ensure a sustainable food supply in line with our european neighbours and reduce food, air miles ? right, so the question miles? right, so the question everyone heard about climate change and food sustainability so that we obviously climate change is one of the big things that we try to tackle just a few weeks ago, i actually changed how government works and we created a brand new department for energy security and net zero

because i think it's that important and i think we should have a dedicated government department that is run by a brilliant guy, michael grant shapps, who is going to focus on this because those two things go hand hand. if we to hand in hand. if we want to continue reducing our continue to reducing our emissions, to find emissions, we've got to find new forms cleaner , renewable forms of cleaner, renewable energy. we also want to energy. but we also want them to be secure because we've all seen what's happened over the past year as russia invaded year as russia has invaded ukraine and the impact has had on energy prices. never want on energy prices. we never want to that situation ever to be in that situation ever again. finding of again. so finding forms of renewable home is renewable energy here at home is really important. improving our energy vital . so energy security is vital. so that's what that department's going our carbon going to do. reduce our carbon emissions, our energy emissions, improve our energy security. mentioned food security. but you mentioned food . that's really important, too. i come from i represent an area in england, in north yorkshire, my neighbour is a dairy farmer. it's a very rural agricultural part of the world, much like northern ireland's economy disproportionally like agricultural compared to other parts of the uk and that's really special. and our farmers want to do that. they want to increase the amount of food that

we produce here at to home reduce those animals. as reduce those food animals. as you completely you said, and i'm completely supportive that. one of supportive of that. and one of the benefits leaving the the benefits of leaving the eu is can redesign all our is we can redesign all our agricultural schemes . i can see agricultural schemes. i can see some nodding from our farming representatives in the audience and that's what we've done because we can make that because we can make sure that our farming really work our farming schemes really work for it's for british farmers. it's supports the things that we want them do and importantly them to do and importantly improves security and improves our food security and does that in an environmentally sustainable way. that's the sustainable way. and that's the journey that we're there are journey that we're on. there are opportunities us to grow far opportunities for us to grow far more here at home, and i think with the investment we're putting we're putting in, that's what we're going for our going to do. great for our farmers, for our food farmers, great for our food security. you said, also security. but as you said, also great for the climate because we're reducing those food animals time. right animals at the same time. right who's watching and who's you are watching and listening sunak is in listening to? rishi sunak is in county this morning in county antrim this morning in northern ireland, obviously basking in a loss of glory due to yesterday's eu deal. let's get the latest from belfast with our political editor darren mccaffrey . good morning, daryn. mccaffrey. good morning, daryn. a rather chipper looking rishi

sunak there. does he have a lot of glory to bask in today ? yeah, of glory to bask in today? yeah, prime minister saying he's over the moon at the brexit deal that he signed yesterday with ursula von der leyen in windsor. i think he has got reason to be cautiously happy. let me put it like that there. the reason i say that is because, first of all, you look at some of the front pages of today's newspapers and they're pretty glowing about the prime minister. even the daily mail, he's necessarily on his he's not necessarily been on his side his premiership, side throughout his premiership, says he to be on the says that he seems to be on the art the impossible. so lots art of the impossible. so lots of good media coverage, clearly , he got quite a good reception even among his maybe more sceptical backbenchers last night in the house of commons and today, speaking to business leaders here in belfast, they seem pretty pleased with the deal he has signed as well. so yes, he is pretty chipper, as you say. however i just would caution that for a reason. that is because , you know, he hasn't is because, you know, he hasn't quite got all the support he frankly needs with this deal. first of all, the dup are not

fully on board yet. they're holding the college very close to the chest. they're saying they're going to wait, they're going to go through this document with a legal text, with lawyers involved and while jeffrey donaldson this morning seemed to suggest things seemed to suggest that things like the stallman break, which essentially would allow politicians here in northern ireland to stop new eu legislation, seem to be a good thing that in the end they are going to properly consult with people before reaching a conclusion. though it does seem there may be some splits within there may be some splits within the because heard from the dup because we heard from one last night one of their mp last night saying the deal is sort saying that the deal is he sort didn't cut the mustard. and of course that bleed into course that will bleed into wounds at that what the eu what conservative backbenchers think about deal as well if the about this deal as well if the dup's not on board. it's likely some of them will not back the prime minister. darren mccaffrey there. we will of course , bring there. we will of course, bring you the latest if we hear from the dup after they've managed to look through the 100 pages, 101 pages with the lawyers, and we

bnngin pages with the lawyers, and we bring in political commentator dr. john coulter now. good morning, john. and i don't know whether you've had time to look at the whole 101 pages since yesterday afternoon , noon. but yesterday afternoon, noon. but does this look like a deal which is keeping everybody happy? we're still as as darren said, that a cautiously optimistic reception from jeffrey donaldson on the dup . but maybe they're on the dup. but maybe they're not completely on board at this stage. yes. well, good morning. i've been burning the midnight oil looking at the minutiae of this framework and at this point in time , just after coming up to in time, just after coming up to half ten, i would say the framework has now become the battle of the spin doctors . battle of the spin doctors. based on what we've been listening there from the prime minister for him, the freedom represents the unconditional surrender of the european union to westminster. surrender of the european union to westminster . however, surrender of the european union to westminster. however, our other comments , others have said other comments, others have said if we go by the hard liners in the unionism and the tory party

, is this merely the old protocol? but what's a few festive baubles added on to it? because the key aspect of all is it has to restore the peace process and stormont as a function , the assembly has got function, the assembly has got to come back. if it doesn't , to come back. if it doesn't, then basically what we're looking at is no more than sunak's soggy sausage day and we don't want that. but let's look past it of here. i think that what is overall it's a rebooting of the uk, eu relationship and this is going to be vital because the one thing that the european union doesn't do is multi task. and as the prime minister recently alluded to there, we still have the problem of russia and putin in the ukraine. so basically if we can get this protocol sorted out and stormont restored and the peace

process functioned very, very effectively for the benefit of all the people in northern ireland, then the eu and the uk can focus on getting putin out of ukraine and rebuilding that country. this is the reason why isuppose country. this is the reason why i suppose there is , as the prime i suppose there is, as the prime minister says , this 3% or what minister says, this 3% or what you might call minimum necessary. i think it's the freest is used to describe eu law still relating to northern ireland. you have to give you something . in other words, sunak something. in other words, sunak is helping to bail out the eu because if that is seen as a complete whitewash , if it is complete whitewash, if it is seen as a complete as i've said earlier on, the unconditional surrender of the eu, when you have got eurosceptic lobbies in other countries and they might be saying in poland and italy and in hungary we want our own framework. and that's the big

danger that the eu has to avoid. john, what if, if, if the dup , john, what if, if, if the dup, if jeffrey donaldson does conclude as you call it, soon sock sausage deal and they won't go back to stormont and re—establish the assembly there , what happens then ? well, the , what happens then? well, the onusis , what happens then? well, the onus is then on unionism. does it have an alternative where almost back to a situation of 1974 when the ulster workers council straight told the sunningdale executive unionism had absolute nothing to replace sunningdale with in 1974, so that sir jeffrey and if the hardline in unionism and the other parties loyalism in particular they have got to avoid ation where if they decide they can't bring their party with them , if they decide with them, if they decide they're going to lose a massive amount of seats or not gain seats in may's council elections, and they decide to put the gun to the hand and pull

the trigger of this framework document. what is their workable alternative from that point of view ? okay. all right. thank you view? okay. all right. thank you so much, john. go to john. a call to there. let me know what you think about all of this vote. gb views at gb news dot uk. i'm going to have in the studio in just a moment. adam mcgovern and also steven pound. i remember stephen pound was in volved in the northern ireland peace day one. he peace process from day one. he was the northern was on the northern select committee. what he committee. so we know what he thinks also, course, thinks is also, of course, a regular on show, but regular face on the show, but moving away from northern ireland for just moving away from northern ireland forjust a moment. the breaking overnight from breaking news overnight from britain. this britain. you remember this couple. police confirmed that the missing couple, constance marten and mark gordon, and she's the aristocrat. he's the ex—con. in custody. ex—con. they're now in custody. they arrested in brighton they were arrested in brighton last night, couple's last night, but the couple's newborn baby has still not been found . there's an urgent search found. there's an urgent search underway to locate the infant. so let's cross live now as well from a security editor, mark white. mark it's been a front page story . white. mark it's been a front page story. this sort of rumbled away in the background. this couple went missing and there

were huge concerns for her. they have been found enormous concerns for this newborn baby. and where that baby might be. yes indeed. and that's why there is now a mass search operation thatis is now a mass search operation that is under way in this area. the stanmore villas area of brighton. my colleague richardson, who's also down here, has seen about 50 police officers as they are a mix of police officers , of course, from police officers, of course, from sussex police , from surrey sussex police, from surrey constabulary as well, who share a lot of their serious crime operations . and the metropolitan operations. and the metropolitan police who have primacy in this ongoing investigation . they're ongoing investigation. they're all part up here, not in a sort of area around here. there's a nature reserve in this area as well. so there was a fairly detailed search last night, but of course that was under the cover of darkness around about

9:30, 10:00 last night after a member of the public report had seen this couple, the police attended. they were taken into custody. but as you say, no sign of this newborn baby . no. police of this newborn baby. no. police say that the was as far as they're concerned, the newborn baby, because when the couple's car was first found abandoned on the 5th of january, on the m61, not far from bolton, there were signs that a day or two before that vehicle was discovered that concerned and smart and had given birth either in the vehicle or very near to the vehicle, but they have not been able to trace that child since . able to trace that child since. of course, the real concern is that neither constance nor child have been given any kind of medical attention as far as the police are concerned, there have been various sightings of them

in liverpool . the next again, in liverpool. the next again, day after that car was abandoned and on the 7th of january, to down essex in colchester and then harwich before travelling to iceland and staying in east london for about a day before they'd travelling down to sussex , new haven in sussex. the couple were last seen. that was the last reported sightings and really the trail had gone cold since then, until this member of the public sighted the couple yesterday . okay. all right . yesterday. okay. all right. thank you, mark. mark white there in the south of england, our home security editor. thanks for joining us. if we hear any forjoining us. if we hear any news about that and that that lost missing baby, we will, of course, let you know. now, first of all, about sunak in of all, about rishi sunak in northern ireland. i'm joined in the former labour mp the studio by former labour mp steven pound , friend of the steven pound, friend of the show. you've been watching all this very closely, stephen. this is of lot of your

is kind of a lot of your political lineage was in this particular area, wasn't it ? what particular area, wasn't it? what do you make of the deal yesterday? quite yesterday? well, it is quite interesting. people in northern ireland spoken this ireland who spoken to me this morning are not calling it, you know, the windsor framework. they windsor, not they call it the windsor, not because as good as because it's not as good as it seems. well, me tell you seems. well, let me tell you why. you know, the old thing about doing it today, they're ringing the bell. tomorrow, they'll hands. ringing the bell. tomorrow, theyif. hands. ringing the bell. tomorrow, theyif you hands. ringing the bell. tomorrow, theyif you actually hands. ringing the bell. tomorrow, theyif you actually have hands. ringing the bell. tomorrow, theyif you actually have a ands. ringing the bell. tomorrow, theyif you actually have a look but if you actually have a look at command paper 23, at the command paper page 23, paragraph 62, actually paragraph 62, which actually describes stormont describes the so called stormont break, mean what break, i mean, what a magnificently over sugared magnificently rich over sugared fudge this really is for the so—called stormont break, which is given out as if it were somehow as a way for stormont, for the people of northern ireland, to actually hold anything which is in any way, not working properly. but what happens is the 30 mlas, members of the stormont assembly, assuming still at assuming that they're still at the assembly, is going to be up and running two and running again from two different parties, to make different parties, have to make an to the british an application to the british government, the government, who then contact the european union, who then contact an independent, arbitrate letter. and it says in paragraph

62 that this mustn't be triggered for any trivial reason . well, anyway, it's highly subject . what absolutely and subject. what absolutely and totally . i subject. what absolutely and totally. i mean, subject. what absolutely and totally . i mean, the interesting totally. i mean, the interesting thing about the command 86 paper is it's very, very political. it's full of non civil service words like our precious union. it's a very, very political document. and a lot of us, a lot of it is actually hoping for that. you're hoping for the best, but not actually preparing for the worst because that's a stormont break that described it as restoring a democratic deficit . but in your opinion, it deficit. but in your opinion, it doesn't go anywhere near. well, hang on a second. there is a major democratic deficit at the present time. stormont, the assembly is not working. we've got direct rule from westminster, which in some cases some members of the unionist perspective actually like that, because it implies that they're really locked into to gb and to the uk generally. but look, if stormont reassembles as a result of this, then it is a windsor win. if it doesn't , then i have win. if it doesn't, then i have to say it's a windsor, not. but

what happens then? that was what i was kind of pressing on. john coltrane . because what does that coltrane. because what does that mean for stormont, for the assembly, people of assembly, for the people of northern ireland? what does it mean what does mean for rishi sunak? what does it deal he can't go it mean for the deal he can't go back and renegotiate. no, back and renegotiate. well, no, no, of course it does. i think there's a there's a whole range of very interesting undercurrents here. mean, undercurrents here. i mean, this actually back to actually goes it goes back to cop that to dubai. the cop 22, that back to dubai. the talks these talks started and these were very, very know, off very, very much, you know, off the talks. and oddly the record talks. and oddly enough, minister enough, apparently, minister djokovic got on very well with cleverly off foreign minister over yes, over a shared love of yes, minister, apparently minister, which is apparently they used to sit and watch this together. they actually go. but isn't how often isn't it interesting how often in personality can be in politics, personality can be a negative, but it can also be a positive. and i think i positive. and i think when i heard von der leyen heard ursula von der leyen yesterday about rishi yesterday talking about rishi dear thought , hello, dear rishi, i thought, hello, what's on here? well, what's going on here? well, i mean, you know, all credit to him, you might say if he's managed to win her over with his oddly robust, robust personality, then, you know, okay, so we mean, she's she's she's fallen for it. and it's best to then great reshape.

rishi sunak is a managerial ist. he's a manager you know he's not going give us great oratory. going to give us great oratory. you he's not you know, he's not he's not going lead to summit. going to lead us to the summit. but here's manager, and but here's a manager, and i think this is a technocratic proposal, whether it's a technocratic solution, i don't know. actually based on know. this is actually based on what in norway and what happens in norway and sweden, the other sweden, which is the only other eu country with a land border with countries. and with a non eu countries. and what is you have what happens there is you have these and red but these green and red lanes, but on the other hand the population there and thing there is minded and the thing actually closes at 10:00 at night. and so it's a very limited mean, limited process. but i mean, i think this is think to describe this is professor coded it as you know sunak soggy sausage i mean is it i mean i'm great i'm not unfamiliar with the cookstown sausage, one one of sausage, which is one one of those brilliant baguettes the world know. but i see world will ever know. but i see that meats are actually that cooked meats are actually specifically the specifically excluded from the prohibition there's prohibition on it. so there's a lot of detail stuff in it, but ultimately it addresses very much east—west trade. in much the east—west trade. in other words, what's coming from gb into northern ireland doesn't actually say much about what's going south north. so something from comes from the european union comes into and does it then

into ireland and does it then cross into northern ireland without any checks? because if there they've there are checks then they've got a hard border. do you got to be a hard border. do you think it's just northern ireland protocol for t which has persuaded all of the media this morning to greet this as a sellable nation? is it just that the editors of the mail and the times express, the sun, the star, the guardian, the everybody is just saying we need to move on because they've all got it . that's very got behind it. that's very perceptive . actually, i perceptive comment. actually, i think that protocol fatigue is an i will steal an expression which i will steal because absolutely because it's absolutely brilliant. this reminds brilliant. but this reminds me of comment of churchill's famous comment at the war when he said, the end of the war when he said, as the tides of war receded once again, the again, we saw emerging the dreary steeples fermanagh. dreary steeples of fermanagh. you it hadn't gone away. you know, it hadn't gone away. it's there , you know. and it's still there, you know. and it's still there, you know. and i know that most people in british dublin actually wish they to do with the they had nothing to do with the situation. asquith in 1914 situation. so asquith in 1914 said the most marvellous thing about the first world war enabled him to do what he'd always wanted to do about ireland, which was nothing. yeah so well, it's, it's, it's so it's. well, it's, it's, it's a obviously. it's, you a conflict, obviously. it's, you know, complex and

know, 200 years of complex and emotional, religious, spiritual , ideological, battling . and i , ideological, battling. and i think everybody just feels that the people, particularly of northern ireland, deserve better than this is an extraordinary thing . it's actually to thing. it's actually time to move on from talking to you right now as well. sorry about that, stephen. used being that, stephen. i'm used to being sports , but you all stay sports burned, but you all stay with me for the rest of the rest of the morning. and also adam mcgovern's going to be as mcgovern's going to be here as well. we some great stories well. we got some great stories in papers through. i'm in the papers to go through. i'm asking morning, should asking you this morning, should the should king charles the king should king charles have stayed on this? do have stayed silent on this? do you him to silent on you want him to stay silent on politics? is in light of politics? this is in light of his ursula der his meeting, ursula von der leyen the leyen yesterday to discuss the brexit deal. almost 90% of you. so far say that he should just keep his thoughts to himself wolf. interesting. head over to our twitter page and cast your vote now that we're going to be speaking about that after your morning finish the keep morning finish of the king. keep the himself . here is the politics to himself. here is thompson . bear. thanks very

thompson. bear. thanks very much. it's 1032. thompson. bear. thanks very much. it's1032. here thompson. bear. thanks very much. it's 1032. here are the headlines. and let's just start with a bit of breaking news. transgender rapist isla bryson has been jailed for eight years after being found guilty of raping two women while still a man. the 31 year old was convicted of the two rapes last month. the crimes took place in 2016 and 2019, whilst bryson was still a man known as adam grey and the case caused controversy when bryson was housed in an all female prison. but has since been moved to a male confined garment . a major search is garment. a major search is underway . a newborn baby after underway. a newborn baby after a missing couple were arrested in brighton last night. constance marten and mark gordon went missing in early january , missing in early january, sparking a major manhunt to find the couple and their child . the couple and their child. however, police are still searching for their baby who was thought to be just days old when they disappeared . the prime they disappeared. the prime minister is in northern ireland

this morning after securing a new brexit trade deal with the european union. rishi sunak, who struck the deal with the eu commissioner, ursula von der leyen , says the windsor leyen, says the windsor framework would deliver a smooth, flowing, free trade across the uk whilst protecting northern ireland's sovereignty. however, the deal does still allow for some oversight by the european court of justice . european court of justice. conservative backbench mps and the dup and now analysing the details of the deal. but the head of the unionist party says head of the unionist party says he still has some concerns. mr. sunak gave a brief speech to factory owners a short while ago, telling them the power is back in the hands of northern ireland. it's about making you the people of northern ireland, your elected representatives are in control and that you have a say in what happens to you. and we did something really special yesterday. we created this new thing called the stormont break, which means that you're assembly is going to be out to have a look at any of the new eu laws

that come down the pipe and say, hang on, if there's something that's really serious that we think is going a really big think is going have a really big impact we can't find any way impact and we can't find any way to it, then we have the to resolve it, then we have the ability no. tv online ability to say no. tv online and dab plus radio. this is gb news is back to . best i'm asking you is back to. best i'm asking you this morning would you welcome a more politic call? monarch king charles has face criticism for meeting ursula von der leyen yesterday, saying a few minutes

is very good morning. it's 1037. is very good morning. it's1037. this is bev turner today on gb news. we have been speaking about the brexit breakthrough deal that was reached yesterday. but story hit but another story that hit the headunes but another story that hit the headlines the european headlines was the european commission meeting headlines was the european com|king)n meeting headlines was the european com|king charles meeting headlines was the european com|king charles at meeting headlines was the european com|king charles at windsorg with king charles at windsor castle. it's been branded constitutional , unwise castle. it's been branded constitutional, unwise as universe and brexiteer conservatives warn that his majesty was being dragged into

politics. so joining me now is royal commentator richard fitz williams. good morning, richard i'm not sure i agree with the assessment that he was dragged into politics. i think prince charles always had one to, if not a complete foot in politics anyway , didn't he ? oh, well , anyway, didn't he? oh, well, unquestionably. unofficially i rather agree with you, because if we look over the years, if you look at the environment and his campaign since 1969, if you , for example, a monarch came from and asked about meddling in politics, he quoted his trust and the fact that disadvantaged people in a sense that part of society and therefore that could argue is politics party politics. he must avoid . but politics. he must avoid. but you're quite right. so if you go back to 1999 and 2015, he supposedly during chinese leaders state visits to britain banquets at buckingham famously had described the chinese

leaders in hanging a handover of hong kong as appalling. oh, matchbooks . i hong kong as appalling. oh, matchbooks. i mean, hong kong as appalling. oh, matchbooks . i mean, recently the matchbooks. i mean, recently the rumour which has certainly not been strongly denied, that he sought the government's policy of sending asylum seekers to rwanda. the that seems to be his point of view. what is very interesting about this is the fact that according to number 10 and i'm surprised this hasn't been highlighted more the issue whether or not it controls media should have underlined was i quote, fundament charlie one for the palace that the palace had a source said that of course when visiting heads of state so a world leader visits britain on the advice of ministers, which is to government advice. that's what he acts on. so that is naturally what he did. but all this, of course is part and parcel of a huge amount of spin, and i think we can see that

pretty clearly that the dark arts are also part of the windsor framework . what windsor framework. what a wonderfully english term this is not. we've got a poll running this morning, richard at gb news asking the public whether the king should stay silent about politics. and currently 86% of all views say yes. now, you argue that this is because we are still mourning the loss of her majesty queen elizabeth. the second and perhaps we are in a transition period may be a may more more modern monarch a more modernised royal will inevitably be a little bit more political. and it's something we just have to get used to . oh, definitely . to get used to. oh, definitely. we must not get used to anything of the kind because the monarchy embodies post—truth emotional stability and also, of course, national unity , you know, but national unity, you know, but some superannuated party hack as the president . one of the cases the president. one of the cases for monarchy is that the accident of birth , its an impact accident of birth, its an impact on the budget for, you know,

who's going to be the next state of head, the next head of state and what we don't want is allowing king charles and remember to separate . may was remember to separate. may was advised by liz truss and then by rishi sunak not to attend . he rishi sunak not to attend. he might have wanted privately to attend . he didn't. that is the attend. he didn't. that is the line. basically, you should take and suppose is accession speeches concerned? he made it absolutely clear he could see what's he created his own role as prince of wales and that didn't involve controversies such as the so—called black spider memos you sent to ministers . this is a totally new ministers. this is a totally new role. and one of the important aspects , i think, of being aspects, i think, of being monarch . it's not the power you monarch. it's not the power you have. it's the power you deny to others. it's being impartial. it's being above party issues. and it's that to make sure the fact of loyalty. and i think thatis fact of loyalty. and i think that is what the readers and listeners are responding to. i

also think there is a sense, richard, that there are sort of more global influences at play that may not have the best of domestic people , of the domestic domestic people, of the domestic of the nation, of the citizens of the nation, of the citizens of this country. and that when the moment whilst people are concerned about , the future, concerned about, the future, whilst we're struggling with cost living, what we're not cost of living, what we're not sure happening the sure what's happening with the minutia lives. often when minutia of our lives. often when we king charles is shaking we see king charles is shaking hands with the president of the eu , it just plays into this idea eu, it just plays into this idea that there are world economic forum forces that actually we are below the global elites and they do not have our best interests at heart. and maybe prince charles should have been a little bit sensitive to that yesterday . well, think that it yesterday. well, i think that it was a good world meeting, and i think that we've seen the prime minister how he is at the moment, whether that will last and to what extent we'll see that in the coming weeks and months quite issue. months is quite another issue. but sacking charles but so far, is sacking charles concerned ? i think that he will concerned? i think that he will handle things well with his

confirmation coming . and also, confirmation coming. and also, one must mention there've been so many problems that the royal family has faced this extremely unfortunate rift with the system and also issues dealing with prince andrew. so it's been a very, very difficult time since last december until mid—january with the break for christmas , with the break for christmas, his christmas message. i mean , his christmas message. i mean, from that netflix docu series to that terrible spare memoir, which is prince harry, so much support the united states. very, very interesting. this and also there's television interviews. i think it's been an extra been a difficult time for the royal family they've had to remain very, very quiet while their private life and so many issues deaung private life and so many issues dealing with it has been made. so public. and so far as the pubuc so public. and so far as the public face of the monarchy is concerned, i think that must be impartial, that it must be strictly impartial , it must be strictly impartial, it must be above party politics. but equally there is this unifying

factor which i think makes the institution so valuable. it was so easy at the time because of course she grew in a different era . thank you, richard. thank era. thank you, richard. thank you for joining era. thank you, richard. thank you forjoining me era. thank you, richard. thank you for joining me this morning. royal commentator richard fitzwilliams there. i think what i'll talk about is about this is about trust, isn't it's about trust, isn't it? it's about trust, isn't it? it's about fact that a lot of about the fact that a lot of people are saying we don't people are saying that we don't trust that this this document people are saying that we don't trus'drawn:his this document people are saying that we don't trus'drawn up this document people are saying that we don't trus'drawn up tihundrednent people are saying that we don't trus'drawn up tihundred more was drawn up a hundred more pages yesterday. wasn't. pages yesterday. clearly wasn't. it pretty much it was already pretty much done and before yesterday. and dusted before yesterday. a lot getting in touch, lot of you getting in touch, right, i'm not sure i right, says i'm not sure how i feel about the new deal with northern ireland when northern ireland often when something be something seems too good to be true, you usually find out that it is. and hillary says, call me a if you want, i'm a sceptic if you want, but i'm waiting for crunch. there waiting for the crunch. there must that the eu must be something that the eu wanted that we are not wanted from us, that we are not privy just now. people privy to just now. also, people questioning trust in the government, saying they organised charles organised that prince charles organised the meeting with esther and the esther von de leon and the palace well no, it was palace saying well no, it was the government, just be honest with we ever with us, that's all we ever want. moving on, shocking want. now, moving on, a shocking story. from under eleven's story. calls from under eleven's wanting loneliness wanting support for loneliness have soared by almost three

quarters in the past five years. this comes from the charity childline . you say that they childline. you say that they contacted times a day on contacted 15 times a day on average struggling average by children struggling with loneliness . helen westerman with loneliness. helen westerman is head of local campaigns is the head of local campaigns at the nest , is the head of local campaigns at the nest, p.c.c. good morning, helen . i saw this story morning, helen. i saw this story and it kind of reminded me what and it kind of reminded me what a good job child like do for a start. and then what i realised that children were getting in touch about being lonely. i had so many questions as to why this is happening. i think i have a few answers as well, but go ahead, is this happening? ahead, why is this happening? well, we know that the pandemic impacted on children. children were at home. they weren't in school. they weren't mixing with their friends and family as they usually. we're still usually. and i think we're still seeing the effects on children who have a struggle get back who have a struggle to get back into school, struggled with friendships. into school, struggled with friendships . yeah, because i friendships. yeah, because i think there's about hundred thousand that never thousand children that never went into education and any went back into education and any sort of stable sense since the lockdown . but of course, people lockdown. but of course, people will be looking at this and go, well , you know, life is largely

well, you know, life is largely return to normal for families , return to normal for families, but that's clearly not the case for some kids. no. and we know that children can be left out of groups that can be left out friendship groups. they can certainly left of social certainly be left of social media groups and we're hearing from and a half from children five and a half thousand year thousand children last year contacted us about experiencing loneliness. and we're concerned about that because . it can about that because. it can impact can have a negative impact can have a negative impact on children's mental health and wellbeing. hmm. the irony , though, helen, in that irony, though, helen, in that we've all we're all plugged into tech and the idea is that it connects us kind of smile. what rishi sunak was doing. another pm moment this morning pm connects moment this morning and i thought, we've never felt less connected human beings. less connected as human beings. is this a big part of it that there's something fundamental that amount of time , that amount of time, particularly children, are spending on screen , is chatting spending on screen, is chatting to their mates ? a on a screen. to their mates? a on a screen. and so it's not what human beings were made to do and which andifs beings were made to do and which and it's showing up in children first and foremost, isn't it. yeah. we need to make sure

children , need to have, i mean children, need to have, i mean clearly there's some benefit to being online for children in the pandemic showed that they pandemic showed us that they could but they could stay connected but they also feel that that also need to feel that that physical connection with their friends family and friends and family and community. and we're having heanng community. and we're having hearing from children just feel really off and an upset really cost off and an upset childline can talk to children about they're not on their own that all the young people do struggle with this and it usually goes away after a time limited period. so just talking about their feelings can have a huge impact . i would also huge impact. i would also suggest that this is parents not spending time with the kids as well. is that fair to say? it can be really tough being a parent of a child that's experienced experiencing loneliness. and you might not know what to do, what to say . we know what to do, what to say. we would always say, leave the door open. let them know that they can come to talk, to you about anything and truly not to get too cross or emotionally involved. because i need you to listen . and if they can't speak

listen. and if they can't speak to you to face face, sometimes tech is a really good way. it sounds odd, but actually messaging your child over the phone can actually be a really nice way of getting them to open up when they're feeling just a bit uncomfortable about having that face to face discussion. i agree. i've had you agree. actually, i've had you know, sometimes i've had to ask my like, you my teenage son some like, you know, difficult question. and i know, difficult question. and i know he'll reply me on know he'll reply to me on snapchat. if i ask him in snapchat. and if i ask him in the kitchen, just walk the kitchen, he'll just walk out, the but there out, close the door. but there is isn't there? because is a line, isn't there? because sometimes i think one of the reason that we've got kids under 11 particularly feeling lonely reason that we've got kids under 11 that cularly feeling lonely reason that we've got kids under 11 that when/ feeling lonely reason that we've got kids under 11 that when they ing lonely reason that we've got kids under 11 that when they walk)nely reason that we've got kids under 11 that when they walk into the is that when they walk into the house, and dad to do house, what mum and dad to do it. yeah yes they're yes they're, looking they're, they're looking at their we're making they're, they're looking at thei and we're making they're, they're looking at thei and just we're making they're, they're looking at thei and just sitting re making they're, they're looking at thei and just sitting on making they're, they're looking at thei and just sitting on the naking eye and just sitting on the floor playing with our kids, making time for them, yet being listened to, having that quality time adult, be time with a trusted adult, be that , grandparent or that parent, grandparent or someone child's someone else in that child's life is so key. and helping that child navigate the ups and downs of being a child, being a teenageris of being a child, being a teenager is really important. and that's what sometimes our

childline counsellors do . yeah. childline counsellors do. yeah. all right. thank you so much. hello and it's really interesting topic. i think it's something that going to be something that is going to be a kind of pandemic of our future, actually, the loneliness of our young and our teenagers. young people and our teenagers. so done for raising so well done for raising awareness westman, so well done for raising awaihead; westman, so well done for raising awaihead of westman, so well done for raising awaihead of campaigns alestman, so well done for raising awaihead of campaigns atstman, so well done for raising awaihead of campaigns at nsp1, the head of campaigns at nsp see, see and can i talk to stephen pound about this? just for moment? used to have a for a moment? i used to have a lot of my constituents. i'd go and see them where there wasn't and see them where there wasn't a and dad, was just a a mum and dad, there was just a mum a mum, seldom mum usually a mum, very seldom a mom a dad. and the mother mom and a dad. and the mother would come home after a day's grey with exhaustion. absolute these latchkey these shattered the latchkey kid. high school kid kid. this is the high school kid with key to door. with their own key to the door. they'd themselves and i'd they'd let themselves and i'd sit own. they couldn't sit on their own. they couldn't go sit on their own. they couldn't 90 play sit on their own. they couldn't go play with their go out and play with their friends because they're waiting for would for mum to come home. mum would come exhausted. come home absolutely exhausted. so what you would if my so i think what you would if my mom was here, she would say, yep, i a latchkey kid, but yep, i was a latchkey kid, but we suffer alone in us in we didn't suffer alone in us in the that kids are doing the same way that kids are doing today. one of today. somehow you were one of three so , you know, three children, so, you know, you had your siblings. you have, i mean, life, but previous i mean, in life, but previous generation since your generation

would allowed to come would have been allowed to come home probably younger, home and probably much younger, we're didn't need we're told we didn't need lonely, you know? lonely, though, did you know? we didn't because didn't need latchkey because there locks on. yeah. there were no locks on. yeah. back, know. but i was also back, you know. but i was also one of nine actually. so yeah. yeah. we know whole playing yeah. we know that whole playing in street i coming in in the street i was coming in community the street, like community on the street, like you kicking a football . you say, kicking a football. yeah, and it was just yeah, i know. and it was just you and mama out and you and mama coming out and saying, know, i wouldn't say saying, you know, i wouldn't say what she used to say, but you just come back and does. just say, come back and does. i was on on the train this morning and like, there were 20 and i was like, there were 20 people either of me, people on either side of me, every them staring at every one of them staring at their yeah. when their screen. yeah. now, when i was kid and you go to school, was a kid and you go to school, you know, you'll be joshing around on the tube, having a laugh, running up there, laugh, you're running up there, probably of probably making a nuisance of yourself. at least you were yourself. but at least you were communicating. so think you've communicating. so i think you've put on it. actually put your finger on it. actually when that we've gone, it when you say that we've gone, it is of is vicarious world of cyberspace. and that is a lonely, lonely place because you don't make friends. there don't make real friends. there you and all tick you know, and it's all tick tock. over in a second. tock. it's all over in a second. so that that real depth, that so is that that real depth, that real that's what's real friendship, that's what's missing. think loneliness

missing. so i think loneliness actually spins from that. yeah but also it's like but i also mean it's like everything in life, multi everything in life, it's multi personal. you've actually mentioned back to mentioned not going back to school, actually school, you've actually mentioned, new mentioned, you know, the of new technology. we technology. but i think we should also recognise working parents parents who parents of so many parents who work, know saying? work, you know what i'm saying? the come home and you're the kids come home and you're looking screen. i'm looking at your screen. i'm saying guilty of saying it because i'm guilty of it. i am. know i'm it. i know i am. i know i'm guilty of it. this has worked things to do. we've got to check emails. you know, the beauty of tech is that we're never not at work. the worst thing tech work. the worst thing about tech is know is in is you'll never know what is in it. know, it's very easy it. so you know, it's very easy to isn't it? is to slip into to do, isn't it? is to slip into and they also addictive our phones addictive. that's phones are so addictive. that's the problem. they're addictive for but point for the children. but the point being that, mean, for example, being that, i mean, for example, when health service when the national health service was was was first proposed, it was assumed wouldn't assumed that women wouldn't work, be at work, that women would be at home, look after the home, they'd look after the children, looked after the elderly relatives. now, the pattern so pattern of work has changed so much. and for all that, people are working from home, there's still people still a high number of people who both dads working who are both dads are working and the child the and that gives the child the loneliness the parent loneliness because the parent doesn't take them football doesn't take them to football doesn't take to ballet lessons

doesn't take the dancing classes. things that classes. all those things that you know as you so sweetly say, my generation used do. yeah, my generation used to do. yeah, yeah, absolutely. right. thank you, after 11:00, you, stephen. okay, after 11:00, going the show going to be joined on the show by brexit himself and nigel by mr. brexit himself and nigel farage. his take farage. he will give me his take on sunak's new deal. oh, on rishi sunak's new deal. oh, back to you now, stephen. apparently marvellous. can't argue with that. absolutely are waiting for another panellist. i will be going on is meant to be here but she's still on the transport because nothing really works in this country any more. can come back the can i just come back to the prince charles? king charles prince charles? the king charles thing? this thing? yes. you make this this is really interesting. now is really interesting. we now know there was at least two know that there was at least two occasions majesty occasions when her late majesty actually disagreed violently with i mean, one was with mrs. thatcher. queen to thatcher. the queen wanted to impose on south impose sanctions on south africa. it. africa. she supported it. thatcher now thatcher refused. and we now know that the queen was actually in a rage she almost in a rage and she almost cancelled audience. cancelled the weekly audience. we she spoke to we also know that she spoke to tony blair the fox hunting tony blair on the fox hunting bill, know, foster bill bill, you know, the foster bill back said, don't do back in 2000 and said, don't do it. oh, really? oh, no. so there have been occasions when the monarch become involved. monarch has become involved. i think problem with this

think the problem with this particular prince king particular prince charles. king charles. was charles. well, it was originally, believe, going to originally, i believe, going to be windsor castle be called the windsor castle agreement, was going to the agreement, was going to have the gloss the regal gloss painted gloss of the regal gloss painted . why would it . otherwise, why else would it be i think he's oh, be windsor? so i think he's oh, one thing he does have is good advice. yeah. one thing he doesn't always do is listen to them on this occasion. i'm pretty as for pretty sure he does. but as for meeting von der leyen, meeting ursula von der leyen, she is not a head of state. if she is not a head of state. if she were a head of state then it would have been entirely appropriate them to have met appropriate for them to have met in she's not the head in that way. she's not the head of she's president of of state. she's the president of the commission. yes. the european commission. yes. and her to status and elevates her to the status of precisely some of precisely, precisely some very with brexiteers very badly with the brexiteers in when we are in in this country. when we are in this position because of the pressure that the eu have put the british government on the people of northern ireland, on the for several years. well we can that, but think we can argue that, but i think we could this particular case. could in this particular case. i think it's giving her credibility she hasn't credibility that she hasn't actually don't actually had. and i don't think she be perceived she would want to be perceived as aside. i want to talk to as an aside. i want to talk to you this story, stephen. you about this story, stephen. this jamaican criminal that this is jamaican criminal that was this country. he went on

was in this country. he went on to murder a man in a brutal knife fight and a lot of kind of celebrity virtue signals came out and said , we can't deport out and said, we can't deport this guy unless totally it was his name is his name. and he then went to on murder somebody. six months later. and it's one of those stories that is actually there's a lot about elements to it, but particularly the fact that all those people who were jumping on the public bandwagon say, we mustn't deport this man . oh, now, very quiet . this man. oh, now, very quiet. he went on to murder somebody. what should have been deported? i remember this very well indeed when, know, was in when, you know, i was in parliament and i remember diane abbott statement abbott making this statement and you beverley you know, she had beverley knight people was knight and so many people was i couldn't understand the argument here because seemed be here because they seemed to be trying conflate this with the trying to conflate this with the windrush the windrush generation, the windrush generation, the windrush people windrush generation, the win( actually people windrush generation, the win(actually came people windrush generation, the win(actually came to people windrush generation, the win(actually came to help beople windrush generation, the win(actually came to help us ole windrush generation, the win(actually came to help us in who actually came to help us in our hour of need that were decent, honest, hardworking people a amount to us people who a huge amount to us in country. this is an in this country. this man is an absolute double dyed villain, and he should have been sent

back trench town or typically back to trench town or typically gardens whatever it was. gardens or whatever it was. instead of which somebody said this i it may be this morning, i think it may be slightly hyperbolic say slightly hyperbolic to say that people diane abbott have people like diane abbott have got hands. i got blood on their hands. i think a little bit over think that's a little bit over the but i think people to the top. but i think people to actually realise when you actually realise that when you actually realise that when you actually very blanketly, no actually say very blanketly, no criminals should been criminals should have been deported in december 2020, you're going to end up with people. we all said the time, people. we all said at the time, do want and murderers do you really want and murderers just be excused ? deportation just to be excused? deportation suella braverman who said this murder should have been deported on flight out of this country on a flight out of this country in courts blocked in 2020? but the courts blocked his after dozens of mps his removal after dozens of mps and celebrities blocked his removal. naomi campbell various other people spoke out. and then you went on to kill somebody, right? that's the end of our first hour in the next few moments, i'm going to be joined by of brexit, nigel by the king of brexit, nigel farage, get his view on which farage, to get his view on which is the next deal from yesterday. don't president. don't miss that president. surely i'm surely looking. hello again. i'm aidan finn from the met aidan mcgivern finn from the met office. most cloudy office. another most cloudy day across uk . showers in places across the uk. showers in places but some brighter spells,

in here. you can see these are officers, i think mainly from the metropolitan police service here. they have private you see, of course, in this ongoing investigation, they're being assisted by officers from sussex police . they are colleagues from police. they are colleagues from surrey police and more than 50 officers we believe are in this area at the moment at some real urgency, of course, about the search because this child remains missing at this hour and they don't know what's happened to that child, whether that child is in a place of safety or where that child might be. that's why clearly in the allotments here, very close where the couple were located last night is one key location that. last night is one key location that . they've worked their way that. they've worked their way through the for the allotments, i should say, from the bottom of the allotments right up to this top section that they are in now

being quite methodical. but i would imagine that as the day progresses, they may well come back through here and, do a much more detailed forensics search of this area as as the wider area. there is a nature reserve around here which is quite signify thickened in size as well. so a lot of kind of parkland and woodland , these parkland and woodland, these allotments and other areas for the police to search . the the police to search. the stunning is, of course, that constance gave birth either the car or near the car that was that was recovered . that's that was recovered. that's a significant distance from where the police now searching, isn't it . yes. this was the 1st of it. yes. this was the 1st of january when the car the couple were in was found abandoned . the were in was found abandoned. the hard shoulder on, the m61 not

far . bolton. hard shoulder on, the m61 not far. bolton. that hard shoulder on, the m61 not far . bolton. that vehicle hard shoulder on, the m61 not far. bolton. that vehicle on fire. but forensic examination of the car revealed that constance marten had given birth probably a day or two before this broke down and was caught. fire either in the vehicle or very close to the vehicle . and very close to the vehicle. and then of course on the cctv pictures, it subsequently was we saw them in liverpool . the next saw them in liverpool. the next again day , then they went down again day, then they went down to essex the day after that to colchester and then to down the port of harwich before heading over east london. they were caught on cctv camera again in east london and it looked in some of the cctv is a constant martin was pushing what may have been an certainly pushing an infant pushchair no sign of the

child though it's possible that of course that it may have been full of belongings rather than the child all of that will have to factor in to the inquiry. they go forward to try to determine what happened . that determine what happened. that child was , that child with the child was, that child with the right up until the point that they were arrested last night or did that child leave their custody at some point prior to that ? what the detective that? what the detective superintendent who is in charge this investigation has revealed this investigation has revealed this morning is that neither constance marten or mark gordon have been co—op rating with those officers during their initial investigations, their initial investigations, their initial interviews that have taken place, which is clearly a very worrying development that if that is the case, that they are not cooperating with the

inquiry. and we know of course, from the cctv footage that was taken and the pictures that were issued to us, you can see that the couple were going out of their way, not to be caught on camera covering their faces or lowering their as they passed cameras. okay. thank you very much , mark. mark white there much, mark. mark white there down in brighton. what a shocking story, isn't it said credibly distressing . right. credibly distressing. right. let's bring you a rather heart warming story. we all need little bit of cheering up, don't we? at the moment? freezing cold outside. owner of book bodega in kent bates posted online that her business was struggling to pay her business was struggling to pay the energy bills it needed £800. this the shop's rent bill staff cost bills were all due and sapphire reached doubts on twitter. she joins me now. good morning sapphire . hello. good

nonh good morning. it's 1119. nonh good morning. it's1119. this is bev turner today on. jb news. my

guests are both now former labour mp steven pound and political commentator anna mcgovern , who had a hell of a mcgovern, who had a hell of a journey in here this morning on a well done. you made it right. and let's go. first of all, as a young person offence, david, i'm talking you and including me in that as well. right. millions of young people who feel let down by the nhs are turning to tick talk, to seek medical advice. i think this is incredibly danger , chris, especially tick , chris, especially for tick tock because promotes such tock because it promotes such dangerous children as young as 13 are using this platform and i think what's particularly precarious the platform is with the search , for example, the the search, for example, the children as young as 13, they can look up anything from mental health. we're talking depression, we're talking eating disorders are talking suicide. they can look up on the search engine and, get thousands of videos, all from young people talking about the issues. if we're talking for 18 soldiers, for example it might be content with young people sharing. you know, this is why each in a day,

this is my stroke of 80 disorders. and then once they finish looking through that explore start the explore page. they start the search engine, they to search engine, they go to the explore page then within explore page and then within minutes this content will be repetitively correspond on their explore pages repeatedly , explore pages repeatedly, exposing them to the same kind of content. and i think especially for young people are very impressionable, especially as young as 38. if this is up again again and again , it's again and again and again, it's going manipulate your mind going to manipulate your mind and then possibly lead you down the same track. and i think it's just very dangerous. so the algorithms, just so people understand, algorithms will understand, the algorithms will what that looked at what it is that you've looked at and other topics and then associates other topics with that. yeah. so if you're say diet tips say looking for diet tips because you want to get healthy, what you're saying is you will then be bombarded with how to lose drastic amounts of weight and then you can start to get into a really negative spiral. i've got personal story. this is a very close friend of mine. so dunng a very close friend of mine. so during the second lockdown when , you know, you couldn't see

anyone, you look down in your home. she was very healthy . home. she was very healthy. begin with. she started tik tok a more people using a lot more young people using social to connect social media more to connect with because know, with friends because you know, you your house you you could leave your house you can see your friends and during lockdown, think for members to lockdown, i think for members to kind of work out face you know everyone's tried to get fit and she started learning calorie counting tik tok and then counting from tik tok and then from seeing this she then started to delve into the even more to learn more about kind of what does eating disorders mean how i stay fit? because of how do i stay fit? because of this, because of the consumption that she was having. she actually then ended up developing disorder , developing an eating disorder, being hospitalised several times because was following because she was following medical advice from tik. because she was following medical advice from tik . so the medical advice from tik. so the young people sharing their stories. so i think this is very dangerous . you know, this was dangerous. you know, this was a survey based on 10,500 people. they were actually over 18 though and uk, us, germany and japan. so these are relatively young people, but they're adults. stephen even they are vulnerable to well as you

rightly say, it was a survey about 10,000 people actually was taking part. japan, china . how taking part. japan, china. how on earth you actually interview people in china? it's beyond me. but you know, the idea of a tik tok dog fills me with horror and i must admit, with anna on i must admit, i'm with anna on this i'm obviously this now. i'm obviously not generation generation generation z. i'm generation nearly to i. i can nearly dead to i. i can understand probably is. you know you get on this tik tok and for all you know you can have andrew tate standing there with his shirt off telling you what to do. you know what? be fair and to you take was quite good at that so a of things he that so a lot of things he wasn't good with you know wasn't good at with so you know he's prison i will so until he's in prison i will so until i just misogyny is a homophobe it's true what he was good at what he was good at was encouraging clean living, would you teenage you believe so for teenage boys because he doesn't drink, he doesn't is all about doesn't smoke is all about eating well. sorry it doesn't. working out. i've never seen a picture without monte picture of him without a monte cristo stuff about themselves. he's a complete yeah. he's a complete hypocrite. yeah. i'm sorry. you know, he's massive. it? a cohiba. massive. what is it? a cohiba. it drink, though. he it doesn't drink, though. he doesn't i'm not to doesn't not. maybe i'm not to smoke. go to you

smoke. well, you you go to you go some, you know, even go to some, you know, even better than me obviously. no, i don't really. just think. don't really. i just think. well, anyway, that's different well, anyway, that's a different kind go there. but kind of let's not go there. but on right tangents, can we on his right tangents, can we can just leave it that i know can we just leave it that i know he's probably right but i also think the think this is partly the problem. young people feel that there's point bringing that there's point bringing that there young there is no it's not just young people all us and go people all us and so they go onune people all us and so they go online information won't online for information it won't all to be clear. not all all be bad to be clear. not all the information you get, alternative medicine information , hope aren't , but you'd hope people aren't going seriously diagnosed going to be seriously diagnosed with . will with something. will those people pull teeth ? they people to pull their teeth? they actually tik tok to see actually went on tik tok to see how actually extract a tooth how you actually extract a tooth because they couldn't get a dentist of mediaeval england? honestly used to tie a honestly so we used to tie a piece attached to the piece of string attached to the doorknob. door. yeah, doorknob. slam the door. yeah, yeah. young people giving young people think, people medical advice, i think, oh, kid from that. oh, oh, don't any kid from that. oh, the chinese communist who the chinese communist party who own us medical own tiktok give us medical advice. not now. that advice. that's not now. now that is tech story is scary. i'm not a tech story are in every day. all right, stephen pound, i saw this in the paper today and i thought you are the talk to about are the man to talk to about this. there is an app you attach

it your phone with a fake it to your phone with a fake pair of lips, which means that you stalking someone from you are stalking someone from anywhere feels anywhere in the world and feels like lips on mcgovern . like real lips on a mcgovern. this isn't being called a miracle moving silicone mouthpiece lets you, they says in the paper, i love the fastest said this the lip actions it mimics the lip actions of your partner i thought yeah right your partner, why don't you smoke in your own party? you're not kissing your own partner on a phone, are you? i think this people what actually say about the this is impulse to be the story. this is impulse to be taking inspiration big, big taking inspiration from big, big bang he said you've bang theory which he said you've done thing done the very similar thing about or ten years about like nine or ten years ago. people were joking ago. some people were joking that sort of taking from that this is sort of taking from there's other devices like this in lockdown be a big , you in lockdown might be a big, you know, component of this. you know, component of this. you know, disconnect. know, you have that disconnect. people about how you people are stuck about how you can it's almost can reconnect. it's almost like people forgotten to people have forgotten how to connect with other people. and it's like south korea, for example, legalising sex dolls, again, it's like people they they don't know how to have a real life relationship anymore. and it's awful i mean, do you

think it be cheating ? think would it be cheating? stephen there there is video. well, if you got pamela anderson's lips up there, well, it's you're talking to a real person. so you're talking to a real person their phone. so real person on their phone. so if both had this on our if we both had this on our phones now, i could have the fake lips attached phone. fake lips attached to my phone. you'd them attached your you'd have them attached to your phone could be phone there and we could be kissing each other the phone. would your wife be happy about that? breathless that? i'm sorry. i'm breathless . the best offer i've had all year , people. me . yeah. what's year, people. me. yeah. what's up with that silly thing? i've got to get a kit so i can as my whatsapp picture from the relative there's an intimacy, starvation in the world today where people are actually starved of that intimacy and thing about the japanese and south korean sex dolls and everything, which is always going to be female, by the way, you don't get an awful lot of yeah, there's not that many women are in market for this women are in the market for this kind thing customer kind of thing male customer base. funny i'm base. it's funny that well i'm so, so relieved. hear that. but as say, it cheating on as you say, is it cheating on your if got somebody

your wife? if got somebody else's up, particularly in else's lips up, particularly in mind, trout pout that many mind, the trout pout that many people seem to have nowadays ? people seem to have nowadays? oh, this is so sad. it's not going catch on, but oh, it's totally catching on. this is this is what terrifies me. it will catch on on i think will catch on on it. i think that stop the lips then. that why stop at the lips then. oh no, no, no , no, no. five. oh my. no, no, no, no, no. five. no, i think i feel especially sorry for the children . we're sorry for the children. we're going back to lockdown. the children that have grown up dunng children that have grown up during these times have had disconnect and they've of grown up on social media, grown up on their phones. people are now having relationships with their phones.i having relationships with their phones. i actually having relationships with their phones . i actually think having relationships with their phones. i actually think this could go one step further and then even to choose then possibly even to choose your words care the whole your words with care the whole way. there was a term on the tv that i watched last night that was basically all about that. but if you if you are, you do a partner on a. no, i don't. you don't need one now. you got my phone.the don't need one now. you got my phone. the switchboard is lit up, by the way . you have to see up, by the way. you have to see a picture . this particularly a picture. this particularly joyous . there we go. so, robot

joyous. there we go. so, robot give long distance relationships. the kiss of life. i love the idea that it's long relationships. it's not going to be for that. it's going to be for people who are bored in their existing relationships and fancy something in a fancy kissing something in a second that is either beluga whale greta thunberg and so whale or greta thunberg and so you attach that that is attached to your phone and you kiss those . the thing is , there is . the thing is, there is a market for this and perhaps in the future we have more lockdowns. we're living smaller lives , know we're encouraged to lives, know we're encouraged to stay at home, more to save the planet. maybe this is the solution. oh, no, absolutely no. there cannot be another lockdown again after the damage they've to this country and to people's lives. you know, the mental health crisis has been far, far greater than . any covid crisis greater than. any covid crisis we've ever experienced. and but then be fair, i think that this there is a market for this and it's very you it's very disturbing very creepy and people should try and have a real relationship with a human rather than their mobile phone.

you're old fashioned and you you're so old fashioned and you think today there is a modern voice of the year. what do we call it? what have you got against beluga whales? but you know, i think there is something these are these are the ethical dilemmas which are going to be our future . we're joking about our future. we're joking about it, genuinely is an it, but it genuinely is an ethical dilemma that we will all have about with our have be talking about with our teenagers whether is teenagers, about whether that is normal . they teenagers, about whether that is normal. they might teenagers, about whether that is normal . they might say, well, normal. they might say, well, i want to be in a monogamous , but want to be in a monogamous, but i'm to have virtual i'm allowed to have a virtual relationship with someone else. it's a vicarious existence. if people other people are living your life for you, it's all done. it's second. so you're not actually physically involved. i mean, just end mean, ultimate it could just end up with talking to each up with people talking to each other the telephone. it's the other on the telephone. it's the logical extension of sort of phone yeah. and phone itself. yeah. and it's so utterly can have utterly and i you can we have a little bit more intimacy. i mean, you know, humanity. not not minute, but not right minute, obviously, but . yeah. let me know what you think . oh, new . yeah. let me know what you think. oh, new gb . yeah. let me know what you think . oh, new gb views . yeah. let me know what you think. oh, new gb views gb . yeah. let me know what you think . oh, new gb views gb news. think. oh, new gb views gb news. i'm about to be cancelled is the

northern ireland and your elected representatives are in control and that you have a say in what happens to you and we did something really special yesterday. we created this new thing called a stormont break, which that your assembly which means that your assembly is able to have a is going to be able to have a look at any of the new eu laws that come down the pipe and say, hang on, there's something hang on, if there's something that's that, we that's really serious that, we think have really think is going to have a really big impact we can't find any big impact and we can't find any way resolve it. we have the way to resolve it. we have the ability to say no, prime minister this morning, tv , minister this morning, tv, onune minister this morning, tv, online and dab radio this gb news. now over to bev . okay, news. now over to bev. okay, we're going to a quick break, but nigel farage will be here in just a few moments with his take on the new northern island brexit deal. don't go anywhere . brexit deal. don't go anywhere.

it's 1130 for his bev turner

today on gb news. thank you for joining me. back to our top story this morning. the prime minister is in northern ireland today for meetings with business leaders sell his post—brexit leaders to sell his post—brexit trade now attempt to trade deal will now attempt to gain support of unionist in gain the support of unionist in northern democratic northern ireland. the democratic unionist party that there unionist party says that there has significant progress, has been significant progress, but key issues of but warned that key issues of concern remain . so i'm delighted concern remain. so i'm delighted to say that i'm now joined by gb news presenter , the architect of news presenter, the architect of all of this. we must remember nigel has been dying to nigel farage has been dying to talk to you since yesterday and i managed somehow to miss your show is show last night, which is unusual. really want to unusual. so i really want to know what do you make of this deal? is it a win all round? well, i'm not architect of the northern ireland protocol. i'm going. but more than that, though, interesting. though, it's very interesting. i mr. who was the chief mr. barnier, who was the chief negotiator the european negotiator for the european union, clever guy. it no question about it. you know, he was always a brexit playing a long term game of chess. was always a brexit playing a long term game of chess . and by long term game of chess. and by using northern ireland, he got mrs. may into a checkmate position. yes you know, we accepted the principle that

because left the european union and goods would be crossing that border, but it could mainly introduction of a hard border which threaten everything that had been in place for the previous 20 years under belfast good friday agreement . we good friday agreement. we accepted that premise from day one and he had us. and so she put forward this deal parliament wouldn't where it she got kicked out of the european elections bofis out of the european elections boris then this difficulty, what do i do ? what am boris then this difficulty, what do i do ?what am i boris then this difficulty, what do i do ? what am i do? do boris then this difficulty, what do i do ?what am i do? do i boris then this difficulty, what do i do ? what am i do? do i risk do i do? what am i do? do i risk the whole of the uk being caught up in customs union single rules or do i just cynically jettison northern ireland? that's what he chose to do . it would have been chose to do. it would have been nice if he'd been a bit more honest about yeah. so a situation that literally it's been unbearable that since the beginning of 2020 and now but now we're supposed to celebrate now we're supposed to celebrate now this i mean the times brexit what i said yeah is it just northern ireland protocol which

has forced the whole media to get on board. i think clearly there's a lot to celebrate, but we can now. i mean, can you believe we can now have the same cocktail sausages in belfast in london? i mean, this is the enormous sea of what's been achieved. i rememberi remember achieved. i remember i remember when boris johnson went to brussels prime minister. in brussels as prime minister. in october 2019, and my lawyer and i sat up through the night going through the document and realising that what boris was saying about this oven ready deal that sold all of our problems actually wasn't true. and the next day i tried my best in brussels . and the next day i tried my best in brussels. i came back to the press conference in london and i explained the problems that were there, the inconsistencies, including what would happen to northern ireland. yeah. and know what. for the first time in my political career, nobody was interested. did you have a solution? was a no. solution? nobody was a no. nigel, what it it's. we nigel, what it was, it's. we should have threatened to leave nigel, what it was, it's. we shou no 1ave threatened to leave nigel, what it was, it's. we shou no deal. hreatened to leave nigel, what it was, it's. we shou no deal. we atened to leave nigel, what it was, it's. we shou no deal. we might.to leave nigel, what it was, it's. we shou no deal. we might. thenve with no deal. we might. then what? then have had a what? we might then have had a proper negotiation. but the point is , even though point i'm making is, even though what i was was valid and

what i was saying was valid and correct, had a relatively powerful position at the time, correct, had a relatively poronejl position at the time, correct, had a relatively porone inposition at the time, correct, had a relatively porone in these n at the time, correct, had a relatively porone in these newspapers e, no one in these newspapers wanted know it was brexit wanted to know it was brexit fatigue. and this is exactly the same. we will discover that, yes , course, some of the idiocies have been removed. maybe we've got some latitude over parts of vat or excise duties . but the vat or excise duties. but the idea we have a veto over eu law is for the birds. so you mean. you mean to storm on to break as that snowballs ? it was very that snowballs? it was very amazing. the most instructive part of yesterday was the press conference in windsor when the rta, the irish broadcasters, asks a very specific about the role of the european court of justice sunak ignore it completely, yeah. von dylan responds. image it like that instinctively that the ecj is the final ultimate arbiter of any dispute. so we will find as go through the legal documents in the next few days that some of the claims that rishi has made are let's be kind

exaggerated rights. but no one's going to care. no one's going to care because we've reached this point. everyone's happy . it's point. everyone's happy. it's better than it was. and we move on. there'll be no tory rebellion. all of will be stuck inside a system where it still has to accept eu rules. we'll a labour government in 18 months time who won't accept eu rules for northern that accept them for northern that accept them for the whole the united kingdom. i and still, whichever way you look at it, initial acceptance of the barnier premise is actually endangering our ability to genuinely break. so when you say nobody will care about detail now not even the erg , what about the dup. they erg, what about the dup. they haven't. i've been watching the headunes haven't. i've been watching the headlines closely this morning. they haven't come out in full support yet . no, they haven't. support yet. no, they haven't. but they haven't come but equally they haven't come out total condemnation . i out in total condemnation. i mean, and i both know we've mean, you and i both know we've seen over the years when unionists happy, they let, you know, pretty quickly through. and that hasn't happened here. i look that the truth of it is the

your viewers and listeners today are interested in this because was a huge story yesterday in a week's time they won't be the absolute truth is most people in the mainland of the uk, 65 plus million of us don't understand the northern ireland protocol, don't particularly care about the northern ireland protocol. they're much more concerned about immigration levels, the cost of living , what their kids cost of living, what their kids are being taught at school, things like that. so what i'm saying to you is just as brexit fatigue led to johnson selling us an oven ready deal, that was a blow, an awful deal and not much different to mrs. may's sunak will away with this sunak will get away with this you good negotiation is you think a good negotiation is one where everybody walks away fairly happy, but no body is triumphant or disappointed . triumphant or disappointed. yeah, i'm in a good negotiation. of course, a bit of give and take on both sides. and what understands that fully . i just understands that fully. i just think went into in the in the think we went into in the in the aftermath of brexit, we went into this the establishment, went into this from the

perspective of it being a damage limitation exercise as opposed to perhaps a great new opportunity. is it then in opposition rather than just being a damage limitation ? this being a damage limitation? this does make me think about rishi sunak and how goes forward to sunak and how he goes forward to the next election. be the next election. he will be wearing this as the most enormous of honour for the enormous badge of honour for the rest of his premiership. won't he? brexit. i got brexit he? i got brexit. i got brexit down. yes, i got brexit. if you've got a badge you can lend to his wife for the next 18. but the other interesting thing i think about this is that, you know, we had the jungle drums beating over the last couple of weeks, would celebrate them and resign. steve baker, you resign. yeah. steve baker, you know, them enough. know, none of them cared enough. ultimately he with and ultimately where was he with and the ideology and the you and all the ideology and the you and all the rest of it and. the truth of it is there'll be no resignations and boris johnson are sort of modern day figure where people sort of drink toasts over a glass of water, the cake across the water. and if this was the way for boris to come back , what it's gone. and

come back, what it's gone. and i think with it what you do learn about sunak , whether you like about sunak, whether you like him or not, is. about sunak, whether you like him or not, is . and i find it. i him or not, is. and i find it. i find it kind . i find the use of find it kind. i find the use of the word windsor really in all of this. but you have to say he's quite good at it. yeah, i think the use of the word windsor has been very manipulative . yeah. i mean it's manipulative. yeah. i mean it's given it a voice, it's like a royal of approval and it isn't it, it's genius. and it comes from his point of view. i mean, it's an old historic town. so you kind think because the word windsor's in it, you kind think because the word windsor's in it , this really is windsor's in it, this really is a very big deal when actually all it is an amendment . yeah. to all it is an amendment. yeah. to all it is an amendment. yeah. to a treaty that we've agreed which isn't going to change very much . but yeah, the use of the king in this is quite astonishing and i that's that's my biggest worry from yesterday in a way is that section of the country that our most strongly inclined to want

charles really succeed. and of course the unionist community in northern ireland being very much a top of that list. yes, i had this gone through parliament. had all of this gone through parliament, then of course, the sovereign does what the sovereign does what the sovereign always does and sighs the assent. that might the royal assent. that might have been enough, wouldn't it? that have been an that might have been an appropriate meet appropriate moment to meet somebody european somebody from the european union. not of union. but she's not a head of state. she's even the head state. she's not even the head of european union. yeah, of the european union. yeah, that's mushy. michelle yeah, the belgium was head of the belgium is. it was head of the council to meet before . this is council to meet before. this is even gone through parliament suggests that the king is either being used at a political exercise his or what was willing to be part of this exercise. and that's long term . many of us had that's long term. many of us had prayed that he wouldn't let politics interfere. i was in brussels twice when charles and addressed the european parliament he made it clear his admiration for the institutions, his belief they should have more powers. he must not as king, let that show. yeah. okay. thank so much. thank you. i presume . be

much. thank you. i presume. be on telly tonight at 7:00, as on the telly tonight at 7:00, as usual. absolutely marvellous. right moving is the right moving on is the controversial case that made headunes controversial case that made headlines across the country and could have contributed, of course of course the downfall of scotland's minister, scotland's first minister, nicola transgender nicola sturgeon, transgender rapist . all of bryson, who rapist. all of bryson, who committed the crimes as adam graham in 2016 and 2019 has been sentenced today at the high court in edinburgh to eight years in scotland. reporter maguire joins us. good morning, tony. what happened in court today ? good morning. yes and today? good morning. yes and today, eight years is certainly a liberation for we know is that that the judge , lord scott you that the judge, lord scott you know he was pretty concerned about the state of available prison and the general danger to the public when she is released from prison. so you know, an additional three years there of course supervision at the end of

sentence. what you also said is that during her sentence , she that during her sentence, she can expect close supervision throughout , can expect close supervision throughout, which should hopefully some of the fears over , the safety of other prisoners . well, as we know that he and lord scott considered her highly volatile childhood, as well as various neurodivergent vulnerabilities . but he various neurodivergent vulnerabilities. but he did various neurodivergent vulnerabilities . but he did say vulnerabilities. but he did say that her vulnerabilities were in no means outweigh the damage in violence of her crimes . so violence of her crimes. so certainly today and i think a lot of people will probably be bothered by the sigh of relief and certainly that's the case has been so entwined with so many parts of scotland in the last few months . tony, tony last few months. tony, tony maguire, the with the story of isla bryson sentenced to eight years in a male prison for rape. thank you, tony. okay let me

introduce my panel to you again this morning. mp labour , labour this morning. mp labour, labour mp and political commentator anna mcgovern . right now, anna mcgovern. right now, stephen, this is a really heartbreaking story. this immigrant boats that crashed . in immigrant boats that crashed. in we sort of get a better desensitised, don't we, to you know, the migrant boats coming over just seems to be normal. overjust seems to be normal. this tragedy is horrific. 63 dead bodies found at sea , washed dead bodies found at sea, washed up at the beach . 81 survivors, up at the beach. 81 survivors, which means there might have been another 36 individuals that lost their lost their lives at sea. but one of the chilling details is that the human traffickers were probably throwing the children overboard. i think we'd ever get i don't think we'd ever get desensitised sort of desensitised to this sort of horror . this desensitised to this sort of horror. this particular ship , horror. this particular ship, which is a large boat, came from turkey and the people on board were from iran, iraq, pakistan and afghanis. were from iran, iraq, pakistan and afghanis . so the fact that and afghanis. so the fact that knows that these people traffickers are cruel, heartless brutal people, but this actually

takes it into an almost another dimension to actually do that. and i have to say the italian coast guards were magnificent on this. it's they risked life and limb to actually come. and the place, the town they landed in, in italy, they've really taken think is what, 3000 immigrants? look, we've got somehow address this issue and you can only really done on a pan—european really be done on a pan—european bafis really be done on a pan—european basis idea we in this basis. the idea that we in this country, we're not just the major recipient of these people, you know, of the you know, we're part of the whole the people that whole process. the people that come europe. i think come through europe. i think somehow we've actually somehow we've got to actually address issue and maybe address this issue and maybe speak to, you know , on the edges speak to, you know, on the edges of because people are of europe because people are coming know, through to coming in, you know, through to greece, small island . but greece, to the small island. but ihope greece, to the small island. but i hope that this will actually bnng i hope that this will actually bring home to some people that these are living, breathing human beings are longer human beings who are no longer living breathing . yeah, i living and breathing. yeah, i think didn't mean desensitised think i didn't mean desensitised was right word. what mean was the right word. what i mean is we're so sort of is we get so we're so sort of this is moving out problem, i guess rather than the loss of life, we just presume the boats keep coming. nobody seems to be able to do anything to stop

them. just seem to be them. we just seem to be complete utterly helpless in complete, utterly helpless in terms stopping the boats . terms of stopping the boats. well, this story and a raises to me is sort of the human traffickers and the way that they view human life . yes. it they view human life. yes. it throw people overboard , release throw people overboard, release the weight in a sinking and as you said. exactly. i think you see this so much, it's just it's the most horrific thing . and i the most horrific thing. and i think children are almost being used as political political collateral , almost being free of collateral, almost being free of these very dangerous , these very dangerous, treacherous trips to get to a new place and. it's just there's not a big , new place and. it's just there's not a big, credibly overwhelming and very i actually know someone who is in rnli volunteer who actually had to go out and, you know, see the people coming through on the boats and see hand, you know, children being held over in the sea or actually even be chucked in. you encourage them to be rescued . encourage them to be rescued. and i think just nothing, you know, i just genuinely think this is the most horrific thing

for children, particularly, who are dragged in the middle of this. it just nothing can kind of make you get used . it it's of make you get used. it it's horrible . it makes makes you horrible. it makes makes you realise, doesn't it, that how desperate the families must be but also what good sales the human traffickers must be. i think we're going to have a quick look now. thank you, guys. what the prime minister has been saying, he was taking questions on his travels businesses on his travels to businesses across northern this morning. let's a listen what he let's have a listen to what he had say. the windsor had to say. the windsor framework we announced framework that we announced yesterday the issues yesterday resolves the issues people have with the protocol. it restores balance to the belfast good friday agreement, and that's what was needed. it does things. it makes sure does three things. it makes sure the flow of goods around all you total really smooth total market is really smooth with all green lane. it makes sure that northern ireland's place is protected place in the union is protected so for people living in so that for people living in northern ireland, they get all the benefits, same the same benefits, the same products would anywhere products as they would anywhere else and crucially, else in the uk. and crucially, it safeguards for it safeguards sovereignty for the institutions of the people and institutions of northern ireland. with a new stormont them to stormont break, allowing them to

stop rules that they don't think are right for from coming are right for them from coming in. taken the round, i think in. so taken the round, i think it's an incredibly positive step forward i want now is forward and what i want now is forward and what i want now is for people to take the time to study the detail because there's a there. but a lot in there. but i'm confident it does a basis confident that it does a basis for parties to look at it for all of us to come together and build towards a brighter future for northern, and free. for northern, strong and free. it's first one. it it's not a veto. first one. it is a great the veto would be if the uk government decide that they want stop the law to use think that that could be some of the circumstances . you think the circumstances. you think that you use strong to free up mean the role of the ecj ? well, mean the role of the ecj? well, the stormont break is an incredibly new cross community safeguard that we've been to negotiate with the eu . what it negotiate with the eu. what it means is that the people in an institution of northern ireland are in control of their destiny and if a significant eu law comes along that will have a lasting and significant impact on the everyday lives of people here in northern ireland, that

the assembly will be allowed to pull the emergency brake and it's built on something called the petition of concern mechanism, which is a good friday agreement institution requires . friday agreement institution requires. the support of 30 friday agreement institution requires . the support of 30 mlas requires. the support of 30 mlas from two parties and once that's done simply crystal clear the. uk government then does have an unequivocal veto. and what i've said is that the uk government wants to sit with the wants to sit down with the parties in northern ireland, the assembly, to codify how uk government would use that veto to sure that everyone has to make sure that everyone has reassurance that it will work properly . and that's i'd properly. and that's what i'd like engage with with the like to engage with with the parties. the key parties. and it's one of the key parts this deal that parts of this deal that safeguard sovereignty for people and of northern and institutions of northern ireland. what people were ireland. it's what people were asking for and windsor asking for and the windsor framework delivers it and i think it's than expected think it's more than expected and hope people see and i hope that's people can see that is a really positive that this is a really positive step forward thanks the step forward thanks to the british insulations. for a while, the an all time low. do you that this be a reset in you that this will be a reset in relations and how do you think the government played it? the irish government played it? what did they play in what role did they play in getting well, i was the getting debate? well, i was the first uk prime minister to
