minutes after 3:00. we've got lots to get through so let's get started. we begin the latest revelations. it what's been termed the lockdown files as it emerged. one of matt hancock aims of asking if they could lock up nigel for roads after he went to a pub , jamie and joe went to a pub, jamie and joe goodwin wrote a whatsapp message. does he count as a pub hoougan message. does he count as a pub hooligan ? well, to discuss this, hooligan? well, to discuss this, i'm joined by nigel frank, who is in maryland in the united states. nigel thank you for joining me , nigel. what was all joining me, nigel. what was all about? give us the lowdown of the story. why were you in the pub? well you breaching lockdown rules ? any rules at all? well, rules? any rules at all? well, look , there are many things that look, there are many things that have been said about me over the years, and i'm guilty of some of them. but hooligan is never a word that's been used about me that i never had any interactions and i deny that. i deny. interactions and i deny that. i deny . the story is interactions and i deny that. i deny. the story is very simple . deny. the story is very simple. i've been in america. i'd back from america. i supposed to be in quarantine for 14 days. right

now , depending whether count the now, depending whether count the day you come back as a quarantine day or not we finished up with this moment when the pubs were finally open, having been locked down for months. so i went down to the local pub midday. i had a pint of beer, put some pictures out on social media and before you knew it , people were saying, are knew it, people were saying, are . he's not been back for 14 days. he's been back for 13 days and 12 hours. and sir ed davey , and 12 hours. and sir ed davey, the leader of the lib dems, wrote down. ed davey wrote to the kent police demanding action . the radical left went mad on social media. but now we learn from the lockdown files that matt that matt hancock the health secretary and. his department. matt hancock who've been given by the act powers we've not seen since a mediaeval king and they openly discuss not getting onto the home office to lock up their . well what i done

lock up their. well what i done well this this says two things firstly there was no medical or scientific to have the quarantine for two weeks anyway and i had tested twice in the previous days. i knew that i was negative, but what it really shows you is gave we gave our police forces. we gave politicians during the pandemic the powers that took our freedoms and liberties in the we haven't even seen in wartime. and so we can laugh and joke about the idea they wanted to put me in prison. but actually what do you think it. they were discussing whether to lock up somebody who was a political opponent . you might sort of opponent. you might sort of think of a third world country, a banana republic, where that happens. that was happening in the united kingdom and it's high time we had a fully inquiry into the pandemic. time we had a fully inquiry into the pandemic . who took those big the pandemic. who took those big decisions . and some people were decisions. and some people were actually held accountable . i am actually held accountable. i am never again , ever under any

never again, ever under any circumstances going to be down by my government told. i can't meet my parents, told i can't go fishing , told i can't live my fishing, told i can't live my normal life never, ever again. what i do things if people like me, i went along with it in good and confidence. but listening to the way they're talking, it's so glib, isn't it? so there are a lot, you know, is he. he's a hooligan, they'll say brash the way they are speaking about us. the british public . they hold us the british public. they hold us in contempt . the british public. they hold us in contempt. i think that's i think that's actually quite disgusting when it is disgusting. and at the same time, they're discussing locking me up, they're partying hard in downing street. i'm breaking the very rules that they made for us. so they're guilty of it paul us. so they're guilty of it paul, chrissie. they're guilty of dishonesty a they're guilty of dishonesty a they're guilty of an abuse of power. and i'll be honest, none after that. as the lockdowns went , you know, i the lockdowns went, you know, i did treat those rules with absolute contempt. i went and met people . i went and saw met people. i went and saw elderly relations normally

outside and, you know, in a safe social setting , the whole thing social setting, the whole thing was marred by laws made by people not being held accountable by all politicians. as i. it must never happen . as i. it must never happen. well, it's not just thank you very much so much forjoining. really good to talk to you. that's nigel francis live in the united states talking to us about that. they're being told going to want to say well , let's going to want to say well, let's get to the latest developments of policy. a after it of policy. eight a day after it was sue gray, who was confirmed that sue gray, who led the inquiry and accepted a job the labour party, the job with the labour party, the privileges have an privileges have released an interim these on the interim report and these on the cross—party committee that covid road, downing road, which is in downing street, been obvious street, would have been obvious to johnson . the to boris johnson. and the inquiry looking into whether inquiry is looking into whether light these . the privileges light and these. the privileges committee said the commons may have been misled multiple times and former prime minister and the former prime minister will be questioned by committee and the former prime minister will lthisjestioned by committee and the former prime minister will [this monthed by committee and the former prime minister will [this month .i by committee and the former prime minister will [this month . the committee and the former prime minister will [this month . the report ttee later this month. the report landed as conservative continued to criticise sue gray for granted becomes against thomas chief of staff. i'm joined now by our political reporter

catherine forster who's in downing street catherine. i mean, does not feel a bit odd. first of all, she is now going be working for the labour party , but she was also for supposedly being impartial . is supposedly being impartial. is this some sort of conflict or is that perfectly normal ? well, that perfectly normal? well, it's certainly been greeted with astonishment, it's certainly been greeted with astonishment , fury, certainly astonishment, fury, certainly bofis astonishment, fury, certainly boris johnson's allies . sue boris johnson's allies. sue gray, of course, led the partygate inquiry into all those gatherings behind me during lockdown . she has been a civil lockdown. she has been a civil servant at the heart of whitehall at the heart of government for decades. she led the propriety and ethics team for six years in the between 12 2018. so she has a lot of very sensitive information now many people say she's apps obviously a person of complete integre tea and would never let her personal

opinions interfere . but opinions interfere. but certainly only yesterday morning, she was working as a senior civil servant, morning, she was working as a senior civil servant , the senior civil servant, the cabinet office and. now we hear she's going off to work for the leader of, the labour party. so it is a very abrupt change. it's not completely unimpressive . not completely unimpressive. tony blair appointed powell as chief of staff. he was a civil servant. but given the partygate investigation at the timing of this, does look rather crusty tenable, to put it mildly. and jacob rees—mogg is amongst others, calling for an inquiry and that rishi sunak should block appointment, though i think that's unlikely. but potentially it might be delayed . you might have to wait a few months , year, possibly even two months, year, possibly even two years before she can start with sir starmer. of course, if it was to , that would be after the was to, that would be after the next election . yeah, it's next election. yeah, it's interesting though, because there is talk actually the

decision made with regard to and the text and everything wasn't just really based on her report alone anyway. so there were other elements that they took into account in her report. wasn't the reason why the decisions were made. is there any truth to is that how decisions were made. is there arappears:o is that how decisions were made. is there arappears or is that how decisions were made. is there arappears or. is that how decisions were made. is there arappears or. oh,is that how decisions were made. is there arappears or. oh, yes,at how it appears or. oh, yes, absolutely. this very clear from the 24 page report. that's put out there saying, you know, this not about partygate . this is not about partygate. this is purely about boris johnson. did or did not know about gatherings that were happening in downing street. george lockdown and so they have spoken to many, many people the ident city of those names that have been to boris johnson they've evidence from all over the place they've even had people down to downing street and look at the sightlines between the press office and going up to boris flats because at the press

office, apparently there were multiple gatherings. there was, as we know a culture of drinking in number 10 and basically they're saying that it was impossible looking at the sightlines there that boris johnson was not aware of some of these gatherings. and indeed, one of the quotes is that in november towards 20, boris johnson said this must be the least the most unsocial distance gathering in the uk right now . gathering in the uk right now. but for his part, boris johnson has come out fighting. he is that this report vindicates him that this report vindicates him that he says there is clear that ihave that he says there is clear that i have not committed any contempt of parliament and no evidence that i knowingly or recklessly misled led parliament. so we will wait and see what happens. he'll be speaking to the privileges committee the week beginning, march the 20th. it will be it will be in trusting, viewing, and then they will reach the

conclusion after that, the potential conflict once is for bofis potential conflict once is for boris johnson. if they found that he had misled parliament are really very serious he could be suspended as an mp if. he was suspended for ten days or more . suspended for ten days or more. his parliamentary office in his seat of uxbridge could basically try get rid of him . yeah. well, try get rid of him. yeah. well, catherine, thank you so much for it's catherine forster . well, it's catherine forster. well, see, grey's decision to becomes against thomas, chief of staff has not gone down well with a number of leading mp jacob said on his gb news show last night that the appointment stinks . that the appointment stinks. michael fabricant was one of bofis michael fabricant was one of boris johnson's biggest backers when he was prime minister. and i'm delighted to say michael joins me now. michael, so what do you make ? good to see you. do you make? good to see you. good to see. so what are your thoughts by the. oh, don't thoughts by the. oh, i don't know . don't know. does it sound know. don't know. does it sound bad?is know. don't know. does it sound bad? is it really bad . well,

bad? is it really bad. well, hopefully it'll get better. the a michael, does this vindicate bofis a michael, does this vindicate boris johnson . i don't think it boris johnson. i don't think it vindicates boris , but sue grey's vindicates boris, but sue grey's appointment is quite extraordinary because . it puts extraordinary because. it puts into doubt the whole neutrality of the civil service that you can have who is meant to be politically neutral and then joins the keir starmer team. i guess it also opens up questions why it was that boris johnson was given a fixed penalty notice and keir starmer up in the durham where the police and crime commissioner is of course a labour police and crime commissioner where he was partying. he didn't a fixed penalty notice. so you know, it opens up a whole of worms. but i think most of all, it is damaging to the civil service because it puts the whole neutrality of the civil service in doubt when you get to senior

person like who is still a very senior position in the cabinet then joining chris armour's team. it's not a good look and it certainly doesn't show for political neutrality . but you political neutrality. but you you'd think that sir keir starmer would look at that and well, let's see the optics of that. i'm just wondering what was in his head. he would think that people wouldn't go, hang on a minute, this is looking bad. why would you think that he would make sort move? is it would make sort of move? is it do think, the of do you think, the level of arrogance that want ? i arrogance that people want? i have i'll have labour have no idea. i'll have labour who is saying wish we could who is saying we wish we could look his because look inside his head because these two exactly what this these two or exactly what this is on about at times. these two or exactly what this is on about at times . greg, is on about at times. greg, criticise the government but he doesn't actually say what he do if he were in government. but i guess that's the joy of being an opposition. i he would argue that sue gray is an able person, but then he would say that, wouldn't he? so what are the implications then that sue gray if he does this job or he ends up getting this , what does it

up getting this, what does it say to about politics? because i think a lot of people are watching quite a series by our politicians and that , you know, politicians and that, you know, they can do this. i mean, as you said with their gate that was very that was hardly even investigated properly in my view that's saw partygate was that's what i saw partygate was shot down. now we're finding all these things coming out. do think people are just losing confidence ? yeah. and it is confidence? yeah. and it is remarkable robin. it's a third in durham. you've got a labour police crime commissioner and who's the mayor in london? where there was a prosecution that of caught with i forget his name. they call . no. you do have . to they call. no. you do have. to wonder about the neutrality i mean, one of the great things about united kingdom is that we, an independent police force , an an independent police force, an independent civil service , or at independent civil service, or at least we thought we did . but now least we thought we did. but now you have to wonder. least we thought we did. but now you have to wonder . whether that you have to wonder. whether that is the case, whether are politically independent or whether they actually politics in order promote certain people

over others. and that has to be wrong it's not just this that special. do you think we need to rethink the system because in america they their full office into office. do you think we need to have a rethink because for example, in the office, civil servants have seen governments can sort of gain a lot of power and, actually help to oust home secretaries and things like that. is there some in a better way we could do this? well, you know, it's interesting. you've got the problem in at the moment, you know, a variety and the rioting is going on because the prime benjamin netanyahu trying to appoint judges and normally there is a separate nation of powers between the judiciary and the executive. this is getting all very theoretical, but the point being that israel's normally had the british system and they're going the american system , for example, it's the system, for example, it's the president , the united states who president, the united states who appoints supreme court judges when a vacancy arises . i don't

when a vacancy arises. i don't think that's a good system at all. i'm beginning to have my doubts, to be honest with you, whether police and crime commissioner is a good idea. i think it was brought in under david cameron. i think we should be thinking , is this such a good be thinking, is this such a good idea? clearly, when it comes to london and durham , we've seen london and durham, we've seen a little bit of political bias. and on that, that's worrying . and on that, that's worrying. but of course, that's not that there is a political bias, but i mean, you know, you know, i'm thinking of michael fabricant. forget the point, nana . if there forget the point, nana. if there wasn't politics involved and there is, because the and crime commission was elected , i commission was elected, i wouldn't be able even ask this question if it were untrue. and it's you quite rightly say, my gosh, it certainly looks as if there has been political bias and that shouldn't be the case with the police or indeed the civil service and actually i think susan grey has done a disservice to the civil service

for even accepting the position she should have left it for a couple of years to be doing it, you know, within a year or so of a election. it's not a good look. and frankly it smells well and vote in a little smell a bit bad, but we'll see how it progresses . michael fabricant, progresses. michael fabricant, always a pleasure. thank you so and i hope your throat gets . and i hope your throat gets. yeah, so do i. right it is. thanks to facing 23 minutes after 3:00. this is gb news. i'm not a square. if you're just joining me on board now and mark gordon have been remanded in custody, charged with manslaughter after crawley magistrates court heard earlier that the remains a baby were found in brighton on across the gb news and security editor mark white was outside court magistrates court. mark, what can you tell us? well, constance marten had bond court an appearance in court, number one here at crawley magistrates court after those formal were

findings i'm currently taking legal against the met for that video the handling of it against myself so i can't talk too much the about what actually happened . however you know two years on we still see the police behaving in this way. so we've got and you know, david carrick for example he's been doing this for 20 years, he's been abusing women as a serving police officer. and how are these going unnoficed officer. and how are these going unnoticed ? hmm. it just seems unnoticed? hmm. it just seems that since that we've just uncovered even more and more bad practise the force. what you think the police need to do to sort clean up their act? i mean, i can appreciate that. mark rowley has held the met, you know, partially . partially in know, partially. partially in the terms a systemic misogyny. however, this is, again , don't however, this is, again, don't feel like he's taking it very seriously . when he talks, it's seriously. when he talks, it's very sort of then just as if he doesn't seem to care that much

to maybe that's just the way i'm interpreting . but i think that interpreting. but i think that there needs to be a statutory reporting to. sexism and racism within the force. well of course mark would say that he is looking into it and is quite serious about that. presume that's, you know, he's not here to defend himself, but with that in mind, how how do you think the police could evolve? because i'm not i've lost confidence in the force. and a lot of people have it feels like there doesn't seem to be much that they seem to right at the to be getting right at the moment, when it comes moment, especially when it comes to and girls. yeah think, to women and girls. yeah think, you we spoke about reform you know, we spoke about reform vetting things like this i think the major issue is that a lot of times when the police called into question and a lot of police are very quick to defend and go on the defence and say, well it's not all of us, it's not all of us. we're not saying it's every single one of you. if you just the time to say, okay, well, which ones is it let's

actually look into what's going on how it's being on here and how it's being covered and why there's no covered up and why there's no consequences behaviour consequences certain behaviour and for what and also putting for what seems small banter and small behaviour like banter and misogyny in the workplace . if misogyny in the workplace. if that if there was consequence is on things like that i it would be much more difficult for police to abuse that power. mm because it's a fine line between of banter line and then when you start to be sort of policing actual language in every form and policing, it's a actual language in every form and policing , it's a difficult and policing, it's a difficult thing to sort of work your way through . but with cases like through. but with cases like sarah everard and also some of the recruitment procedures, they are clearly there are clearly practises. if you could change one one thing within the police now, that could change immediately to improve that practises what would it be? oh, l, practises what would it be? oh, i, i think, to be honest they need a complete radical throughout the whole thing. but if there's one sort of thing that i could choose change, i think the vetting process is

completely abhorrent. i think they should do so like cycle psychological tests on police officers, i think they should look into the reason why that officer has joined the force. if there's any previous convictions, there's any previous allegations , things previous allegations, things that might have done in the that they might have done in the past, allegations of past, if there's allegations of them violent, why them being domestic violent, why hiring minister up that is hiring the minister up that is has power to do what they has that power to do what they want to women in perhaps they could just do their research partly. thank you very much, patsy stevenson. she's a women's rights activist. next, rights activist. well, next, we'll another bad week we'll discuss another bad week for prince harry and meghan. they face being evicted by the king we'll see you in a few minutes .

. members of the public the court refused repeated opportunities tees to apologise to his victim, saying hadn't been treated fairly during the trial. he rather bizarrely began sing them read is talking to me so no remorse. cheek to cheek hurting in no more. so no remorse. cheek to cheek hurting in no more . oh yeah. my hurting in no more. oh yeah. my lady in red. well ms. harrison appeared in reading out a victim statement. she said that it was a wicked crime committed by bear and it always been her worst nightmare that material of this kind would surface online since bears are fed. she from anxiety and was even hospitalised over christmas explaining that everybody seemed to know about this video . people in the gym this video. people in the gym would come up to restaurants in the street as well , she said. the street as well, she said. stephen bear had showed no

sympathy during the trial, even her online and to have no regret for his action. speaking after. the sentence was handed down. she said she that this would be a lesson to men and boys that this sort of behaviour wasn't acceptable . i hope that this acceptable. i hope that this puts anyone off committing this sort of and i hope for anyone else who's been victim of that it gives them some sort of justice as well. the judge said that stephen bear had deliberately lied to ms. harrison and exploited the video due to its economic value and ms. harrison's fame a reality tv star. he also said that mr. bears star. he also said that mr. bear's diagnosed basis of adhd was , no mitigation for this was, no mitigation for this crime , is rae addison gb news crime, is rae addison gb news sense of east england reporter now, if you want to protest against one of the city council, this controversy decisions, be careful . you've branded some of careful. you've branded some of the people are opposed to his

plans to extend london's ultra low emission or even ulez as far right that's what it's called us.the right that's what it's called us. the mayor of london was speaking an event in ealing in west london. khan claimed that some of the protesters are convicted and vaccine deniers . a convicted and vaccine deniers. a spokesman for sadiq khan said the mayor's comments were about people who were placards with far symbols. so disgust as i'm joined by keith prince . he's joined by keith prince. he's a conservative member of the london keith wright . why did london keith wright. why did i mean, in your view, sadiq khan calling protesters far right, it seems a bit bit extreme . well, seems a bit bit extreme. well, good afternoon and a great show, by the way, as always . well you by the way, as always. well you know that you've won argument when you're opponents starts hurling insults rather than well—thought out arguments , well—thought out arguments, don't you? so is . well—thought out arguments, don't you? so is. he well—thought out arguments, don't you? so is . he knows he's don't you? so is. he knows he's lost the argument on ulez and now he's just thrashing out . but now he's just thrashing out. but the thing is, though, he has

position of power. you are london mayor. you can't go around stopping, calling people covid deniers and of this i mean this this this seems seems somewhat out of sorts of someone his position of his stature . is his position of his stature. is there some sort of comeback that there some sort of comeback that the people can have against him? because, i mean, seriously, you can't go saying that , can can't go saying that, can people? is there a way to protest against his comments ? protest against his comments? well they can. putting an objection to the monitoring of the city hall if they think what he said is not proper. but i think on many occasions he's shown he doesn't really behave in the way that londoners would expect them to behave often at the london . if you ever if you the london. if you ever if you ever suffering from insomnia in one of our meetings then you will see that he's really quite rude to some of the members from different parties other than his own. it's not the way you'd expect a mayor to really . has he expect a mayor to really. has he got much opposition the position

because if he doesn't he'll be back in the. well this is the whole argument we are making about the ultra low emissions. he has no mandate for it. he didn't mention during the last election that he was going to expand the ultra low emissions had he . so maybe the outcome had he. so maybe the outcome would have been different. and i would have been different. and i would argue that the government actually reduced the site because it would lower the evidence that he hasn't really the procedure that they the correct procedure that they should rerun the whole thing around ulez the whole consultation that you shouldn't be allowed to actually implement it until after the next mayoral elections. in my next year and that he should run on that. that should be one of the issues that you. stanzel because as i understood it, the ulez the emissions that used to calculate what you know, what which zones and everything were taken from many, many years ago. so they haven't been not current readings of what how much

pollution is in the air now. is there any validation to that? well worse than that, nina , well worse than that, nina, before they started hunting out around about the expansion, they got tfl got a company jacobs to do a report into what effect the current ulez had that's the one that's inside the 8 to 5 and the a4. except what that was having and also a projection as to what effect an expansion did you would have and both of those say that it's negligible , that it that it's negligible, that it hasn't had that much effect inside the ulez and the expanded area. it would have an absolute negligible effect on dealing with air pollution . and so even with air pollution. and so even their own evidence shows that this is bad, bad mistake. their own evidence shows that this is bad, bad mistake . we this is bad, bad mistake. we know why he's doing it. it's got nothing do with air quality. it's all about money to prop up these failing administration . these failing administration. while he's not here to defend, i'm sure he would be saying that is to the maybe help us get

towards net zero. is there any chance then that he will have to listen to consensus? but it sounds like the consensus consensusis sounds like the consensus consensus is against his expansion . well, the expansion. well, the consultation , nearly 60% of the consultation, nearly 60% of the people actually said didn't want this expansion . and that's after this expansion. and that's after he disallowed 5000 submissions. so we know it's actually nearer 66% yet. remember people objecting . the problem we have objecting. the problem we have is that he has all the executive power. so there's no way that the assembly could stop him, not the assembly could stop him, not the assembly could stop him, not the assembly would because it has majority of left parties on there and they are in favour of it . but we are asking the it. but we are asking the government to actually support a review. i think the government should review what's happened because we've got evidence he's predetermined the decision . he predetermined the decision. he doesn't have a mandate for doing it ignored the consultations so i think it's a very strong argument for the to say no hang on we don't think you've done the right thing here. we need to

look this again. and also look at this again. and also there's amendment that is there's the amendment that is being put forward by one of the lords that the boroughs should have right veto it. so here have the right veto it. so here in havering , have the right veto it. so here in havering, we are very much against it. we had a massive demonstration on wednesday night , hundreds of people there. are they for all i activist i really that and more and they are we should have the right veto this decision because it's in the best interests of havering residents to make on behalf of the people of highbury keith friends thank you very much. households thank you so much right it's just coming up to 49 minutes after 3:00. former prime minister boris johnson has been reacting to an interim privileges committee report on it said evidence strongly suggests breaches of coronavirus would have been obvious to him . would have been obvious to him. his stay at number 10 with the former prime minister said it's his belief that actions were actually conformity , were actually conformity, were incubating with the covid regulations regulations . i

regulations regulations. i didn't mislead the and i don't believe i'm guilty of a contempt. i think that this process happily will vindicate. now, i know it's been going for a long time. i'm grateful to the committee. let's remember, this is i think people is all about i think people forget this about whether when i went parliament on the first and i think the 8th of december 20, 21, and i said guidance, rules, regulations been followed in in number 10, i actually believe or suspected at that . we knew that suspected at that. we knew that the been events that that broke rules and didn't i believed that what we were doing was within the rules and that's why i said what i said to and i think what's so interesting about the report is that after ten months of effort and sifting through all the innumerable whatsapp apps and messages , they found

apps and messages, they found absolutely no evidence to suggest otherwise. and there's absolutely nothing to show that any adviser of mine or civil servant told me warned me in advance that an event might be against the rules. nothing to say that afterwards they thought it was against the rules, nothing just to show that i must believed or was worried that something was against the rules. so that thankfully the prettiest punishing garb given the huge amount, the stuff that they have and you know, given also, frankly, that not all the testimony they have comes from people who are necessarily on my on my side, as it were, and i just to repeat the reason there's that gap , the reason there's that gap, the reason there's that gap, the reason there's no to show that i must have known why i must believe that illegal were taking place

is because i didn't. that illegal were taking place is because i didn't . and i is because i didn't. and i thought we were fighting covid to the best of our ability in very difficult circumstances is in number 10 in the cabinet office , night and day and office, night and day and i believe that what we were doing was in conformity with the covid regulation. so that is why i said what i said in, in parliament and. that's why i, i'm certain there's been no contempt . there are photographs contempt. there are photographs in your report of you in with people who are not socially distant in rooms with booze on the table . the committee says the table. the committee says that it would have been obvious to you at the time that these were breaches of the guidance and that because you hadn't mentioned these events that you were apt to the house that may be how you've misled. yeah you see of course people will say , see of course people will say, oh we must it must be obvious you that something was was awry

and so you've got to remember what, it's like being, being prime minister. you are you do what your civil advise. you do instruct you to do. you move from one event to the next of a massively regimented diary . massively regimented diary. there were a number of events as . everybody everybody knows where i went very briefly to say thank you staff and that kind of thing. but i believe implicitly that these events were within the rules , nor did anybody tell the rules, nor did anybody tell before or afterwards anything to that. to the contrary , you know, that. to the contrary, you know, i just it just imagine what you say before or after the report has got whatsapps in it. say before or after the report has got whatsapps in it . your has got whatsapps in it. your director of communications saying, things like i'm struggling , too, to see how this struggling, too, to see how this was within rules. yeah, but know the whole your account. i he's talking about an event in, the cabinet room in, in june of 2020 where actually we, we were so

confident that it was totally above board that we, we know that the one that i was five i continue to apologise for we actually put it in the in the newspaper we breached it i didn't read somebody reached out and i never thought that that was against the rules and nobody told me before or afterwards that it was that it was , you that it was that it was, you know, again. so it was very, very just just imagine that i had i genuinely thought that stuff was going on number 10. that was covid rule and everybody will understand the implications that if i'd known that and will understand the implications of that for the government for our ability to fight covm, government for our ability to fight covid, what a story that would be. you would expect me? you know , to have immediately you know, to have immediately something to my closest advisers and, officials saying what this what is this problem we've got

here with this this event ? what here with this this event? what do we do that we're doing about it? there's nothing at all to show that. why not? because i believed that what we were doing was implicitly within the rules and. that's why i said what i said in the house of commons. and that that is why i think i thank the committee for that for their labours and, you know, i'm sorry it's all been going on for sorry it's all been going on for so long, but there's been no contempt here. and one more just if i may . at that point, before if i may. at that point, before you stood up in the commons and said quite definitively, that is to the best of your knowledge, that was that the covid guidelines were at all times . guidelines were at all times. did you stop at any point and think back to those events? you were asked, do you think actually did that? no so what? i you know what i, i because you didn't consider it to be. no, because what i what i what i the thing we were discussing was an event that i actually hadn't

been at. this was the story that, that, that came that came in. there were and there in. and there were and there were some questions about from the from the about other events. but i believed implicitly that they were the rules . and that they were the rules. and that that was why i was so confident and ending in another point, if i if i thought that , you know, i if i thought that, you know, if i thought it was a good idea to go into into don't do the dispatch box in front of all my peers, all my colleagues, and say that events that there were no rule breaking events in in number 10 when i or office when i knew that that probably be contradicted by dozens and dozens of officials. why on earth would i would i done that it simply doesn't it? i believe that what we were doing was within the rules. that's what i said. that's why i said what i in in the chamber. i that it was

my own belief at the time and that's why i, you know, thank the committee for the labours. i really do think there has been a i will add one one codicil if i can and that is i do i do think it is a peculiarity let me put it is a peculiarity let me put it that way that the person who conducted the inquiry into what went on in number 10 and the cabinet office who was presented to me as a person complete political impartiality was absolutely no political axe to gnnd absolutely no political axe to grind whatever who's just been appointed the chief of staff of the leader of the labour party. i mean i, i make no comment about it except to say that i'm sure people, you know, want to draw their conclusions about the confidence they place in her inquiry , motives behind her, the inquiry, motives behind her, the way she conducted her inquiry

and into into her report. i think , you know, people i think think, you know, people i think i can put this in the most in the most restricted. well, i think people may look at it in a different light i mean, the 25th of may last year, you were satisfied that it was a wholly independent ? satisfied that it was a wholly independent? i was , i was it's independent? i was, i was it's quite something, isn't it? it's a question . civil servants a question. civil servants ability put their own political aside and not be neutral . i aside and not be neutral. i know. i think the question it look as i say people will make up their own about this and i think that i if you told me at the time i commissioned sue gray to do the inquiry if you told me all the stuff i now know i think might have cross—examined her more closely about her independence . and i might have independence. and i might have thought whether she was whether

one might have asked i might have invited where i might have ianed have invited where i might have invited her to reflect or whether she really the right person to do it. and some of your colleagues have suggested that this discredits her. i, i, you know the key point that i want to get. never mind. would you would you take never. never mind. never never mind. sue gray, i mind sue gray the keep the key point for me is today that you know people draw the regulations . the key thing for regulations. the key thing for me is that today after a lot of .labour me is that today after a lot of . labour and before which i thank them the selection mittee have produced the privileges they have produced a which i believe totally vindicates me because there is no evidence whatever the when i stood up in parliament i said anything that i did not believe and therefore there is no no contempt. okay

thank you. thank you. thank bofis thank you. thank you. thank boris johnson speaking earlier. i mean, he said that the committee said it would have been obvious to him. but, you know, often in those cases, the person who's in the middle is often the last person to know. so, you know, do think he's so, you know, do you think he's telling the truth? i didn't telling you the truth? i didn't feel being truthful. feel like he was being truthful. he thought that it he also thought that it was a good using this question . it be good using this question. it be a good idea whether would bring this one out to the electorate and then be found do this and then be found to do this himself. you know, he's also himself. so, you know, he's also adamant that he was the rules. and boris continues, he's never said broke the rules. said that he broke the rules. he's constantly that was he's constantly said that he was within the time about within them all the time about when obviously it's fine when he's obviously it's a fine and he used the word pecuniary peculiarity, which i can't say. the person who conducted the inquiry was presented to him as someone with no axe to grind and course he's talking about sue gray that she was then given top one of the top jobs at the labour party. what do you think? doesit labour party. what do you think? does it does it smell a bit odd to you get in touch gb views at a good use don't you. oh tweet

was basically saying there is nothing to see here. he that he hasn't done anything wrong, that he didn't think at any point that he was breaching the rules and basically that nobody told nobody told him that he was anything that he shouldn't be doing. and the implication is , doing. and the implication is, how was he supposed to know? well, some people, of course, will say because you made the rules . so you, above all, people rules. so you, above all, people should know what the rules were. so he is in deny , deny, deny so he is in deny, deny, deny mode . but the privileges mode. but the privileges committee information they have put out so far, do seem to be very critical of boris johnson because are saying it is evidence the house of commons may have been the fighting for times that they think boris johnson may have misled parliament and also saying the breaches of guidance would have obvious to boris johnson at several events that he attended.

and there's one particular quote a leaving to he went to in november 2020 when london was under which he's quoted as saying it was probably the most unsocial distance gathering the uk right now , which would imply uk right now, which would imply that he was rather making a joke of that. so it will be fascinating to see what happens next and clearly boris johnson believes that he is not in the wrong but then boris johnson believes that he should never have removed and that he should still be prime. catherine thank you so much. that's catherine forster. he's there in downing street . right. let's get more street. right. let's get more reaction to today's developments . ukraine's appointment as the case. thomas chiefs chief of staff . i'm joined now by staff. i'm joined now by political commentator john. john doesit political commentator john. john does it feel a bit odd the opfics does it feel a bit odd the optics aren't good that sir keir starmer would be doing that. what is your view on this? i

think you're right. i think it's a difficult situation and, you know, it's we see life know, it's when we see life everywhere someone leaves everywhere where someone leaves your company and goes immediately rival . it immediately to your rival. it happensin immediately to your rival. it happens in your world. it happens in your world. it happens the corporate world. but it's it to happen in it's rare for it to happen in the civil service . and i think the civil service. and i think that to jar on quite that is going to jar on quite lot of people that she's potentially switching to. the other switching from the impartiality , the civil service impartiality, the civil service to a very partial. so rapidly. yeah. because you don't just suddenly go like that, do you? it's got to be it feels like there must be some sort of history, that there have been conversations up until this point. and you can really see the advantages from keir starmer and labour party side. you and the labour party side. you know, they potentially know, they are potentially coming into government in a year's without much year's time without much experience of running whitehall ministries and you can see why they're looking for someone who is a whitehall insider to help them their team and get them set up their team and get things see the things done. you can see the logic, but it's going to sit uneasily with a few people that she the cabinet

she has been in the cabinet office dealing with. tory ministers day in, day out, and presumably for some period of time having these conversations about joining the labour team. but you know , i'll be honest but you know, i'll be honest with you, when i heard that the party gave party, i don't know how much i can stomach anymore. i'm a bit sick and tired of. do you think the british public are actually bothered about it anymore? that we anymore? do you think that we want move on talk about want to move on and talk about cost living and things like cost of living and things like that? or do you think that this is actually i think the is actually i think what the british don't is british people don't want is relitigate thing, relitigate the whole thing, reinvestigate think reinvestigate it. i think people's are pretty much people's minds are pretty much made happened and made up of. what happened and are a lot of pressing concerns now. think one of the interesting things that you've got people in boris got some people in boris johnson's side saying, oh, we need into this again. i'd need to into this again. i'd questioning how much that's going to be helpful . it's going to be helpful. it's a reminder, actually, of of reminder, actually, of some of the boris johnson the reasons why boris johnson was out his own in was booted out his own mpc in the first place, why he's popular dropped so much popular party dropped so much not in parliament but not just in parliament but across the country. i think across the country. but i think you're right. know, an you're right. you know, it's an old story . a lot has happened in

old story. a lot has happened in the year. we're in a very the last year. we're in a very different position and cost of living much more living crisis is much more pressing people's minds. do you think well could be sort think as well this could be sort of a, you know, sort of of a, you know, they're sort of exaggerating to subside. exaggerating this to subside. what behind rishi sunak's what is behind rishi sunak's deal obviously we don't deal because obviously we don't know we know much about yet but we should be focusing on the detail of that. i think, you know, people in westminster have all sorts of agendas behind what they you to be talking they want you to be talking about thinking in about and thinking about in bofis about and thinking about in boris johnson's team they're boris johnson's team. they're always for a chance to always looking for a chance to bnng always looking for a chance to bring them back into the news and to maybe steal thunder. a few days ago, everyone was saying this has been a great week for the conservative. it's been great week for rishi been a great week for rishi sunak getting that over the and it yeah this throwing a it feels yeah this throwing a cloud all over it and you sort of have to question some the reasoning going why reasoning that's going into why people deal out of people make a big deal out of that because if all going that because if we're all going to that then if we're all to do that then if we're all going to look at this great one, should we be looking back should we not be looking back into eight again as well? i into big eight again as well? i mean, you know, you know, partygate, one of them. partygate, that's one of them. there eight this is

there was big eight and this is a council that woman had a labour council that woman had only recently been appointed at top the. the police . and it top of the. the police. and it just again, do you not think that the sketches that we've got you know a lot of different issues kicking around? really, you'd have to go in and look at what was going on, on the time. but think biggest problem with but i think biggest problem with all like when all of this is like when you look at expenses scandal, look at the expenses scandal, which is sort of nearly 15 years ago now, what happened then was all of the got lost and all of the detail got lost and it just became everyone blaming , everyone else. and if some things you know, even some claims that would never paid out in the place became the in the first place became the big scandal and all the things that mp going to prison that led to mp going to prison and got of forgotten about and got kind of forgotten about and. i think you know there's , and. i think you know there's, there's when you get there's a chance when you get into money at this way, it just looks a load of politicians looks like a load of politicians throwing doesn't really throwing money doesn't really help public at all because help the public at all because there's something hindsight where look at it and you where you look at it and you think, well, because we know what know now, we know that what we know now, we know that that was one that was wrong. then you start working backwards

and well, i actually and it's like, well, i actually like looking forward, but like to be looking forward, but what's i want to what's going on now? i want to be at zero. i want them be looking at zero. i want them to looking at the fact that to be looking at the fact that they've proved that they're not even to meet their own targets. i the i want to look at the electricity bills? i want to find why petrol prices are find out why petrol prices are not though the cost not falling even though the cost per down. i per barrel is going down. i mean, that's yeah. what i'm concerned. it sounds concerned. i mean it sounds you've reading some of my you've been reading some of my articles because most of the i say got load of big, big say we've got a load of big, big problems going you problems that are going on you cost is one we've got cost of living is one we've got long term like looking at how are we able to fund pensions and things future with an ageing things the future with an ageing population of population we not short of challenges in this so there's a lot of things we could be having seriously a big i'm getting big policies too so our big problems and just getting sucked into the merry go round westminster gossip isn't really going to help anyone and it's also to me a bit of a media circus because i was under water many of the other night and there was a walk in to the investigators, a party

getting lots of different organisations stood up and cheered thought the cheered and i just thought the british want to know british public want to know what's going on their actual what's going on in their actual lives. you know, know lives. and you know, this know partygate it's you know partygate whilst it's you know it passes even in power anymore. he's not the leader. it passes even in power anymore. he's not the leader . why. yeah, he's not the leader. why. yeah, i think you're. you know, we always have to hold our leaders account and investigate things, but, you know, that becomes a when that's useful, when it's relevant , it's the person in relevant, it's the person in charge. but we've had yeah. we're our second prime we're on our second prime minister it seems minister since that it seems matt to be going back and raking over that when there should be scrutiny things that scrutiny for the things that the government are doing at the moment indeed the moment or indeed that the opposition intend when they opposition intend do when they get you would get into power. you would think , you, thank you , wouldn't you, john? thank you very joining me this very much for joining me this very much for joining me this very much. love talk to very much. i'd love to talk to him. get some more him. let's get some more reaction to sue grey's appointment as the keir starmer's staff. and starmer's chief of staff. and nigel the political nigel nelson is the political edhon nigel nelson is the political editor. mirror and editor. the sunday mirror and sunday nigel, optics editor. the sunday mirror and sumot' nigel, optics editor. the sunday mirror and sumot look nigel, optics editor. the sunday mirror and sumot look good. gel, optics editor. the sunday mirror and sumot look good. do, optics editor. the sunday mirror and sumot look good. do they optics editor. the sunday mirror and sumot look good. do they evens do not look good. do they even have to admit they look bad? she was in charge of this investigation now suddenly investigation and now suddenly she taking a top job within the

labour. yeah. i mean, i think that you're probably right it looks probably worse than it is. first of all, i think there are two separate issues here. one is it would be wrong to criticise the integrity of sue gray the party appointment didn't come up till a long aft after her partygate investigation . clearly partygate investigation. clearly she wouldn't investigate. done that investigation had this job beenin that investigation had this job been in the offing . so i think been in the offing. so i think that it's to criticise her integrity. but yes , there is integrity. but yes, there is a question over whether somebody who is being effectively the government ethics boss should move quite so seemed to lead to a political appointment now that will get scrutiny is there is the independent committee on business which makes much simpler to say and that will look at the appointment they will recommend how long sue gray

she must wait until she takes up the job. that could be anything from three months to two years, but the damage in a way, if you know , is already done in know, is already done in a sense, because she's the person who was in charge of this sort of inquiry . and to be in charge of inquiry. and to be in charge ethics as well, you got to question own ethics. she should use surely she's using judgement that it would just sit well with a lot of people who watching this now. do you think people actually that bothered about partygate still ? i mean, first partygate still? i mean, first of all, to sue grey's judgement is probably sue gray should asking herself what ethics advice she'd be giving sue gray on something like this and when it comes to how to get yeah i think you're probably right that the partygate is in a sense past history . 83 people were fined in history. 83 people were fined in downing street for holding an illegal lockdown so that in a sense has been dealt with what is actually now is a separate sort of parliamentary process ,

sort of parliamentary process, and this is actually quite important because basically that the employees have got to decide on the privileges committee whether boris johnson, knowing the lied to parliament. now, if they discover that he did and they discover that he did and the mp is a quite firm this they haven't drawn any conclusions yet they will wait to hear boris johnson's evidence them later on in the months . but why it's in the months. but why it's important if he did lie to parliament, they find him in contempt of parliament. they will then recommend eyes are suspended or expelled. if he's suspended or expelled. if he's suspended for more than ten days, that will mean a recall petition in his constituent and see i could lead a by—election and the end of johnson's political career and those people around boris johnson at the moment his real diehard supporters they're still trying to find a way of getting him back. to find a way of getting him back . of course ,

to find a way of getting him back. of course , this to find a way of getting him back . of course , this committee back. of course, this committee will be really essential. well, very briefly , didn't they try very briefly, didn't they try and amend the rules to move intention? so instead of knowingly the house, it was the fact that if you had done whether you knew or didn't, that he would be he was so in trouble, wasn't that what they tried to do? no. i mean, what the committee said today in their report is that was actually in itself misleading . actually in itself misleading. never said that . so what they never said that. so what they said was they're actually is that not that boris johnson guilty of anything but the evidence points to the fact he does have a case to answer . and does have a case to answer. and the key phrase the report today is whether boris johnson misled paul recklessly and, intentionally. so that is what constitutes a contempt , not the constitutes a contempt, not the fact he misled parliament, which i would have thought is fairly obvious. it's whether or not he was reckless and intended to do it . and that's what the it. and that's what the committee will have to decide. right. thank you very much. lovely you. that's nigel nelson

. right. let's have a chat with one of our great british voices. let's a to harris in let's have a to lee harris in bristol. lee, good to see you, man. so what do you make of this? do think that that's a bit of a conflict of interest for this woman to suddenly be heading off to the labour party? of course. i mean, has been said by much everyone excuse by pretty much everyone excuse me, . this terrible me, the optics. this is terrible .jacob me, the optics. this is terrible . jacob rees—mogg says this is really for this not to look like sue gray is being rewarded a plum job for bringing down one of the country's most popular pm boys, you know stinks to high heaven. boys, you know stinks to high heaven . it frankly puts into heaven. it frankly puts into even further doubt the impartiality of the whole civil service . you know, the people service. you know, the people defending sue gray i listened to just a moment ago , he was saying just a moment ago, he was saying it's unfair to question her integrity. all wrong in my view. it's important . parliamentary it's important. parliamentary inquiries is formal , impartial, inquiries is formal, impartial, but it's extremely for it to be seen as by the public optics are important, especially inquiry for the way that involves , you

for the way that involves, you know, some of the seniors, the prime minister there are now legitimate questions to be asked about the process and some of these things are simply not up. you boris is right. be you know, boris is right. be furious this , as it's furious about this, as it's already been said it was only yesterday morning sue gray was working a senior adviser, a senior civil servant to the cabinet and actually cabinet office, and actually just very closely. keir just to work very closely. keir starmer absolutely starmer there's absolutely no doubt the timing looks really dodgy, know, there some dodgy, you know, there are some people saying actually that rishi block the rishi should block the appointment. don't think he appointment. i don't think he should you know, there's a saying that you should never interrupt your enemy while they're making think he they're making a i think he should crack home. hmm should just them crack home. hmm yeah. doesn't look yeah. because it doesn't look good labour party at good for the labour party at all. i no, they should all. i mean, no, they should think about it. but nigel did also sue gray also say that perhaps sue gray should give self own advice should give self her own advice in what would she be giving sue gray , what ethics advice she'd gray, what ethics advice she'd be giving herself. good to talk to thank you very much, to you. thank you very much, lesley harris. he's that great british voice. lovely to talk to you. just join me? welcome you. you just join me? welcome on board. it's just coming up to

23 minutes after 4:00. constance marten and mark gordon have been remanded in custody, charged with manslaughter a court with manslaughter after a court earlier that the remains of a baby were found in brighton on wednesday . let's cross to gb wednesday. let's cross to gb news home and security editor mark white is outside crawley magistrate's court. mark, what happened earlier earlier ? well, happened earlier earlier? well, it's a deeply case. this, of course , constance marten and course, constance marten and gordon in the dock at court one here at crawley magistrates court after . they were formally court after. they were formally charged last night with manslaughter with concealing the of a child and with perverting the course of justice. now couple were arrested in brighton on monday evening. they were spotted by a member of the pubucin spotted by a member of the public in a convenience store who had seen some of the numerous appeals the police had launched in recent weeks to find this couple who had vanished disappeared mysteriously after

their car was found abandoned on fire in a sleep on the m61 near on the 5th of january. police forensic examination of car revealed that had birth in or near car a day or two before that car was left abandoned. well in the days that followed , well in the days that followed, the couple were seen first in liverpool, then down in essex. before heading to east london. all the while being caught a occasionally on cctv before then down to new haven in sussex. and it was in new haven on the 8th of january, the last confirmed sighting of the couple. from there on in, they dropped off there on in, they dropped off the radar . there was no the radar. there was no confirmed sightings of them until monday night when that member , the public, spotted him

member, the public, spotted him in a convenience store in the north of brighton. they were detained and arrested by police just 6 minutes later, but of course, there was no sign their child at that point that sparked this very significant search and operation involving hundreds of police officers on, search and rescue volunteers . and then, of rescue volunteers. and then, of course, the terrible news on wednesday relayed by the police that , they had found the remains that, they had found the remains a child not far from the spot where constance marten and mark gordon were originally arrested today in court we heard that those child's remains were found wrapped in a plastic bag underneath. so nappies in a shed in, a nearby allotment . a in, a nearby allotment. a post—mortem examination has been carried out this afternoon. we still await the results of that . as for the couple, well, they

appeared appeared in the dock wearing grey prison issued tracksuits. they spoke only to confirm their names, their of birth and the that for the moment they have no fixed address . they were reminded back address. they were reminded back into custody until , address. they were reminded back into custody until, appear again this time at the central criminal court. the old bailey on the 31st of march. and it's a marked thanks so much for that. you will keep us updated. that is mark white. well, so do you drive a diesel car? a new report has found that you're being off. surprise, surprise . we'll surprise, surprise. we'll discuss that .

next welcome back. this is good news . tv, online and on digital

radio. i'm nana akua now a new report from the rac has suggested that diesel drivers could be getting ripped off at the pump. what a surprise. the organisations that despite the cost of both petrol diesel falling in february savings aren't being fully passed on to consumers. now i calculated that drivers are paying around about £7 more per tank than would be if they were diesel, if diesel were being sold at a fairer rate. so i'm joined now by gb news business and economics editor liam halligan with on the money . so liam, talk to me this. money. so liam, talk to me this. to me it's no surprise they never pass the savings. why would they? this will as no surprise to taxi van drivers , surprise to taxi van drivers, long distance lorry drivers, anyone with a diesel car roughly nana oil prices that underlying cost of fruit crude is about where it was before the war in ukraine and. unleaded petrol is

about roughly where it was before . the war in ukraine, before. the war in ukraine, about 146. 147. diesel is still up at 167. even though diesel and petrol are meant to be roughly same level of price. here's a statement from the they've said to us, they said the gb news here go. despite there being just a6p difference between the wholesale price of both and diesel throughout all of february , diesel pump prices of february, diesel pump prices are currently a colossal tip. more petrol. that's 146 versus about 167. as i said before . and about 167. as i said before. and then the rac went to, on if we can see the new graphic that means anyone filling a diesel car is . the rac calculates car is. the rac calculates paying car is. the rac calculates paying around pounds more per tank than they be. if diesel is being sold at a fairer price of around 55 per litre. now we've often had on gb news here a guy called howard cox. he's actually partly funded by the freight transport association, but he has a very good job of keeping

his eye on petrol and diesel pnces his eye on petrol and diesel prices compared the price of oil. he's been lobbying the chancellor of the exchequer, jeremy hunt, to set up some kind of organisation , pump what she of organisation, pump what she wants it to be. well, something like that, to make sure the oil companies do pass on those price rises. some people accuse the big retailers that are linked to oil companies of price , if you oil companies of price, if you like. they would deny that deliberately not passing on the price reduction in oil. so when oil goes up. petrol prices go up like a rocket. but when oil pnces like a rocket. but when oil prices down, petrol prices come down like a feather. now some independent petrol retailers, they're are being squeezed by they're are being squeezed by the petrol providers. we're not saying all petrol retailers by any means are doing the wrong thing. but the really interesting that's emerging now is this huge gap. you remember when diesel used to be cheaper than. yeah. well 20 pay more per litre . that is a huge margin and litre. that is a huge margin and nobody can really explain to me

why it's happening. well, it didn't . diesel's best be the didn't. diesel's best be the spawn of satan. now they don't want diesel. so the punishing , want diesel. so the punishing, you know, made you buy the car if you just go back to it. over three diesel cars sold off by diesel cars. that is the greener option. and we'll give you a bit of a tax break. but now, of course, it's very very difficult. change. but difficult. fashions change. but i do think in the budget, which is down the track now, it's the 15th of march. i do think jeremy hunt will have to respond this. it's not just people like me talking about this on gb news many are talking about it. how a hoaxis many are talking about it. how a hoax is a very effective campaigner and this is what really hits people their pocket. you know , it was 100 quid to you know, it was 100 quid to fill up a family's saloon not so long ago. and now it's more like sort of 80, quid. but it's sort of 80, 85 quid. but it's still about 100 quid. if the family is diesel and that's a major problem, of course, diesel costs, it really is the fuel commerce. lorries trains, all the rest . it transporting the rest. it transporting freight of all kinds. shipping

so those higher diesel costs are always in the end passed onto consumers. so this is major source of inflation. unless we can get diesel prices down at least. so our petrol prices are. as oil prices have come down, beware the ides of march, the 15th of march. jeremy interesting project. thank very much. just now, 40. that's of course. liam gallagher. no, i'm not going to give you i'll give you, you know, right now for check on the latest news headunes check on the latest news headlines with our armstrong . hi headlines with our armstrong. hi there it is 4:34. i'm aaron armstrong . the gb newsroom. armstrong. the gb newsroom. bofis armstrong. the gb newsroom. boris johnson may have misled the house of commons at least four times, according to amp's investigating his conduct over party eight. the commons privileges committee says breaches coronavirus rules in breaches of coronavirus rules in downing street would have been obvious johnson at the obvious to mr. johnson at the time . the former minister time. the former prime minister is to give evidence about

welcome back has just coming up to 1 minutes after 4:00 this is gb news all the people's channel. we're live on tv, onune channel. we're live on tv, online and on digital radio. not a square. now it's been announced for his first royal visit as king. king charles will go to france, germany this month. he'll meet president macron and address the german both the king and queen consort will to travel continent to improve ties between countries. now the announcement a few days after it emerged that king charles will evict harry and meghan markle from frogmore cottage. well, joining me now , cottage. well, joining me now, japanese reporter, royal reporter cameron walker. cameron, right so the first ever visit for king and queen. yes. queen consort's . the first of queen consort's. the first of the new reign is how palace is describing. it's the state visits to france and germany. it's going to happening at the end of march a six day visit . end of march a six day visit. the king and queen consort will

first visits paris , the then first visits paris, the then going to go on to bordeaux in france before going to germany, where they'll be in berlin . and where they'll be in berlin. and i think they're going to as well as a couple of cities and you're right i think it was the request. well, it was at the request. well, it was at the request of the british government that their majesties are going and it's all about that power of soft diplomacy and, strengthening ties with our closest geographical neighbours, france and germany were questions perhaps as to why they haven't chosen a commonwealth countries. the first. official state visits think perhaps logistics and practicalities played a part in that they are both in their seventies. it's very close to the coronation and also the british government felt that france and germany and in terms related global relations this was the best place for them to go. but the king is going to be the first british monarch to give a speech from france's senate chamber. the queen, the late queen did . isn't it quite late queen did. isn't it quite political ? he said he late queen did. isn't it quite political? he said he promised he promised that he was not

going to get involved in nobody resist address the senate. yes he's also going to be addressing the german bundestag as well . the german bundestag as well. but i doubt very much fact, i'm sure that his speech is not going to include any political opinions. it will very much be a power of soft diplomacy in action . but our people's poll action. but our people's poll that people were actually worried about him meeting up with dignitaries and so i didn't have and talk to me about that. yes. so this is earlier this week where the king met the european commission president, ursula von der leyen. her meetings with the minister meetings with the prime minister , see talking about , you see next talking about that ireland's brexit that northern ireland's brexit agreements . so there was a lot agreements. so there was a lot at the time politicians came out and said it's a bad idea, it's getting the king in politics and but according to all gb news people poll, only 8% of the british public are actually opposed to it, 34% the majority it. in terms of the numbers here, were indifference. they didn't really what to say either way . and some people clearly way. and some people clearly made the argument that perhaps

it is dragging the king into political controversy . and also, political controversy. and also, of course the king has to remain politically impartial all but as head of state clearly he is expected to meet other leaders when they are here, the united kingdom. and from my understanding, a broad range of topics discussed climate change, the war, ukraine. there was no mention from the guidance i got of talking about the agreement that was just had just but clearly it was 2 hours after the agreement was was made with the prime minister say some people are calling into question. that's buckingham palace says it was government's was acting on government's advice sources are advice downing sources are actually implying that was the palace decision and it's up to palace decision and it's up to palace for him to meet for his majesty , meet us on the majesty, meet us live on the line. i'm afraid this little line. so i'm afraid this little bit of he she said but bit of he said she said but but the majority people they were in favour of it when they say 33% me supported or opposed it's 25% of the public king charles's meeting and 34 said they didn't know or preferred not say, but

only 8% were opposed to it. interesting and of course, harry and meghan. yes the gift that keeps on giving itself to . yes keeps on giving itself to. yes so buckingham. sorry no. buckingham palace, harry, meghan's spokesperson confirmed to me that they have been asked to me that they have been asked to leave frogmore cottage that happened a couple of days ago. but today the mirror is reporting that the decision was made the day the king made the decision to sign off on the crown the states idea that harry and meghan should be kicked out the cottage. essentially the crown estate owns frogmore cottage on the on the windsor estate. but this happened the day harry's memoir released day harry's memoir was released and spare or and clearly in that memoir he makes quite seriously against the queen consort's in particular accusing her of leaking stories , saying she's leaking stories, saying she's dangerous, saying that didn't what he urged his father not to marry her. all of this has not been at buckingham palace, not made any comments that. but we've always been led to believe

that's camilla would be charles's red. and it looks as if from timing of the decision that king made that's harry has crossed the line . spare room, crossed the line. spare room, please . but this if you see he please. but this if you see he should know why he is defending his woman. harry is defending his woman. harry is defending his as prince charles king defending his woman. so is why harry went off to the states and thatis harry went off to the states and that is why in my view, king charles is protecting camilla . charles is protecting camilla. that's fine. i think it just i think i mean, if that is it if it is a snub, do you think it's not. and i be i mean, buckingham palace say it is a private family matter. so i couldn't be drawn into thinking it's a snub. but i just think the timing is very significant as to exactly when he made the decision the day after the book came out. what it does show, though, is the states of family relations i think the windsor and it think within the windsor and it means that and meghan means that harry and meghan no longer in the uk. we longer have a base in the uk. we know he's in the of know he's in the middle of a legal battle with the home office that, to allow

office over that, not to allow him for his own police him to pay for his own police protection the uk. protection when he's in the uk. he that and meghan did as he lost that and meghan did as well when they stood back as working members royal working members of the royal family cottage on family frogmore cottage is on the perimeter of the the guarded perimeter of the windsor with windsor estates with armed police they no police protection. now they no longer are to have longer are going to have frogmore cottage they in theory don't safe place in the don't have a safe place in the uk, or at least i'm sure that the arguments that team would make does not make and his coronation does not coincide with a birthday . yes. coincide with a birthday. yes. so you and archie is archie's birthday, i think . archie's birthday, i think. archie's birthday, i think. archie's birthday, yeah. it's the 6th of may, which happens to be coronation day. and we still don't know whether harry and meghan going an meghan going to get an invitation. be highly invitation. i'd be highly surprised didn't get an surprised if they didn't get an invitation. they invitation. i think they will get one. whether not they up get one. whether or not they up is different matter, is a different matter, particularly we've particularly after we've now found that meghan found out that harry and meghan are to leave are being asked to leave frogmore around the time frogmore cottage around the time of the coronation. but have to wait on facts. wait and see on facts. invitations have not gone out as of yet. official invitations probably till much probably won't go out till much the but save the dates are the time, but save the dates are certainly the cards in the certainly on the cards in the next we think he set next couple of. we think he set that knowing full well then

that date knowing full well then that date knowing full well then that an excuse he's that gives them an excuse he's quite diplomatic is chelsea where is quite diplomatic but i don't think would ill don't think he would ever ill publicly of either of his sons particularly prince harry because he is one kennedy was causing controversy and can speak out and he has been shown to speak out and of and speaking the prince harry airing his in pubuc the prince harry airing his in public he's taking parts in a live stream tomorrow promoting his book. clearly all of this has come out this week. so is going to comment on the fact he's been kicked out frogmore cottage. i guess we'll find out tomorrow we will only and by potentially andrew yes yes prince andrew potentially moving into frogmore cottage although reportedly he's quite reluctant to do that royal lodge where he currently lives which is the big mansion estates close mansion on windsor estates close by, is falling into a bit of disrepair and is a lot of money spent on it reportedly. and prince can afford the prince andrew can not afford the upkeep, but his income. thank you walker. you very much, karen walker. he's our gb news royal reporter . now, this story which caught my eye, i you know, i just don't

understand why this is happening. but i've venue i used to drag act babies has come under fire from accusing it of performing shows for children cover rubber right cover papa rave held in london was marketed as a drag show designed specifically for toddlers but has drawn the ire of many who see the performance a sinister sexualization of entertainment . sexualization of entertainment. even tiny kids. sexualization of entertainment. even tiny kids . with me now is even tiny kids. with me now is calvin robinson, gb news and commentator calvin , i watched commentator calvin, i watched this. i don't even i can say the performance now on tv. i couldn't probably show any of that performance. what was your view on this ? this is the view on this? this is the frustrating thing, isn't it ? and frustrating thing, isn't it? and i wasn't able to show the clips on my show on sunday either. it's so annoying because people need evil that's need to see the evil that's going on. so what i recommend people do is go online, go on twitter and type drag queen babies. it all. it's babies. you'll see it all. it's horrible. the drag queens. they have names . horrible. the drag queens. they have names. there's horrible. the drag queens. they have names . there's nudity, have rude names. there's nudity, there's dress, there's there's provoked dress, there's overt sexualization. all this is

grooming. that's what it is . but grooming. that's what it is. but what gets me is that the parents are taking their babies to these shows that tickets to go to these drag club shows for babies. now this event that's being cancelled, that's in the news today. so it's actually for the parents, it's a for parents and they can bring their babies with them so that the parents no longer listening to boring talk about music but it's for parents they should be in a strip club. if it's a cabaret, it should be in strip club. it should not be in strip club. it should not be in a venue where they're inviting babies along. a safeguarding concern. but the normalisation of sexualization of children is grooming. and that's a nice for what we're talking about here is beautiful . yeah, let's be frank . well, i . yeah, let's be frank. well, i mean, look you say that none of thatis mean, look you say that none of that is there's no evidence that there is any paedophilia going on there. so to just start that, i think if i can give you a multiple i'm sorry , but but at

multiple i'm sorry, but but at this cover a thing or whatever it is, we don't have any evidence that that is actually happening in the place for me, simply looking at it. no. so they're not here to defend themselves, but for me looking at i just don't what parents at it, i just don't what parents would take their children babies to because i if i show my to because i know if i show my son something, only son ivory something, he's only five, he'll pick up on that. me might and copy it kind might try and copy it what kind of man would want to dance like that in front of babies. i don't get it indeed there was a really, really awful article in the times this week defending these drag queens and saying, you know, culture warriors stoking up hyperbole for nothing . and i want to talk about the author he's the author because he's but the article itself says, i can see you i see a single you know i can't see a single instance of drag queens grooming and there are at least seven and on a very basic quick google and these are racking up so it is it is happening more and more so next week next friday 11 am, i'm going to go down with turning point uk, the great exhibition see nine. exhibition and i see 22 nine. yep and we're going to protest against awful drag

against these awful drag storytelling so if people storytelling hours. so if people to join next friday, it's 11 to join me next friday, it's 11 am. the great exhibition are more than welcome . but calvin, more than welcome. but calvin, like the parents, are taking the kids and they're actually saying that it's fun and they're saying that it's fun and they're saying that they feel funny and it's safe there is no evidence in particular for this one we're talking about of any level of grooming. so i mean , you know, i grooming. so i mean, you know, i don't want me to i think good parents would say i don't want my baby around. an adult who is dressed for rocket alley and or if with a rude stage name and you check their social media and most of these artists very provoked social media too and you think why would you want to take your baby to something like that it's a parent's number one responsibility to safeguard their child. that's purpose their child. that's the purpose of a parent. so i don't understand the mentality parents other to question calvin, other than to question calvin, are you a parent? because i'm a parent and i know that nobody tells me how to parent so parents don't listen to being told i don't told things like that. i don't understand a parent would understand why a parent would would would do that but they are

in the company of parents. yeah this problem that parents this is the problem that parents need to start parenting if you're your child your you're taking your child your baby. what you so if you're taking a child to adolescence time, there's something wrong there and it is because people are saying, oh, inclusive of the lgbt q plus community. and a lot of my lgbt friends are saying, why are lumping in tcu with us? because this is inappropriate . a because this is inappropriate. a lot of my gay friends have said we fought for years to get rid of this myth that homosexuality has something to do with paedophilia. of course we fought against and now drag against it for and now the drag queens lobby queens and the trans lobby thinking of thinking about running out of time and just say there's no real think there's any actual real i think there's any actual link homosexuality, thank link to homosexuality, but thank you your thoughts. you very much. your thoughts. that roberson. he's a that is calvin roberson. he's a gb presenter. they've got gb news presenter. they've got to out on. his show on to check him out on. his show on sunday, now moving sunday, 3:00. now moving on to mp neil coyle faces a five day suspension of suspension from the house of commons after using abusive language. the racial overtones towards a journalist during one of drunken confrontations . of two drunken confrontations. now has said the now coyle has said the complaints about his and

complaints about his drunk and offensive behaviour have quite possibly my by compelling possibly saved my by compelling him to stop drinking alcohol. he's been talking to claudia and said that if he'd reinstated he's reinstated by the party. he will not bring the party into disrepute again . you always need disrepute again. you always need control. and i knew the only way for me was stop altogether . and for me was stop altogether. and initially , you know, my thinking initially, you know, my thinking was i need to stop for a period i didn't think even then i wasn't thinking need to do this . i felt at that point if i could get to christmas that would have been a pretty solid achievement. the longer i've done this the easier it is to realise that drinking has been a problem for a long time in my life. that also the only way to keep myself safer and healthier is to stop altogether permanently . and of course, you permanently. and of course, you can watch the full interview on show. gloria meets well, you'll find out who the person and politician is as a free sunday after my time between and six she's on a 6:00. and after the

break, we'll have boris johnson after reporting the party groups released. and i can't wait for this . we're going to celebrate. this. we're going to celebrate. cornish pasty week. yes. i can't wait to you in a couple of wait to see you in a couple of minutes. hello again. it's aidan mcgivern here from, the met office. lot cloud office. there's a lot of cloud across once again today, across the uk once again today, but some brighter are but some brighter spells are coming through, especially across scotland and it turns colder this weekend. the cold air waiting to the north of the uk high, though, clinging on for the time being before it moves towards greenland , allowing that towards greenland, allowing that cold air in and with that high pressure. we've got areas of cloud floating around, the best of any brightness really is across central then some of those cloud breaks will drift into northern and northwestern parts england overnight. so parts of england overnight. so if breaks elsewhere but if you breaks elsewhere but actually another cloudy actually another largely cloudy night and as a result, it's another relatively frost free night for many three or four celsius where we keep the cloud. but where we lose the cloud, temperatures below freezing. so, for example, western scotland, north—west, england, that's such a frost to begin things this

weekend. where the weekend. that's where the brightest be once brightest skies will be once again, even where got the again, even where we've got the cloud, actually, going to cloud, actually, it's going to be most places be relatively and most places will there some will be dry. there are some showers from word go across showers from the word go across northern and showers northern scotland and showers will increasingly affect eastern parts of england, especially through yorkshire, into lincolnshire and anglia. temperatures just as they've been all week around 7 to 9 celsius, feeling quite chilly i think on that north sea coast we've got showers where we've got the breeze from the north—east into the evening on saturday. an uptick in the shower, activity for northern scotland and a few elsewhere across some central and western parts of the uk. across some central and western parts of the uk . and you can see parts of the uk. and you can see the winds changing direction at this point . so zero degrees this point. so zero degrees there for lerwick , 2 to there for lerwick, 2 to 4 celsius elsewhere although where we do get clear spells once again at such a frost as we begin some day i think some day another largely cloudy day across uk, a more showers across the uk, a more showers scattered about , especially scattered about, especially northern and western scotland western parts england and western parts of england and

wales and those will wales and those showers will drift south now during monday , drift south now during monday, as those showers move south, they'll turn sleet tuesday more widely, much .

this is gb news on tv online and on digital radio. i'm nana akua. we've got lots to get through between now and six. let's start with the latest developments in partygate and boris says the commons inquiry into , whether he commons inquiry into, whether he lied to mp, is over. partygate had found absolute no evidence to suggest he knew the rules were being broken. in an interview, mr. johnson said what is so interest thing about the report today is that after ten months of efforts and sifting through all the innumerable whatsapp and messages , they have whatsapp and messages, they have found absolutely no evidence to suggest otherwise , and these on suggest otherwise, and these on the cross—party committee say that group, which is in downing street, would have been obvious , boris johnson, that the inquiry looking into whether johnson lied to mps the privileges committee said that the commons may have been misled times. the former prime minister will be questioned by the committee later this month . now committee later this month. now the reporter landed asking separate mp continue to criticise sue gray for parents

agreeing to become sir keir starmer's, chief of staff. with me now is , political commentator me now is, political commentator emma webb . me now is, political commentator emma webb. emma, thank you for joining . emma webb. emma, thank you for joining. emma the emma webb. emma, thank you for joining . emma the optics, they joining. emma the optics, they don't look good. do they ? no, don't look good. do they? no, not at all. i actually couldn't believe what i was saying when this news came out. the disappointment is, frankly so absurd. it's a completely mad. i many people are quite rightly jacob rees—mogg, have that this is grounds for an investor geisha because obviously this bnngs geisha because obviously this brings question the impartiality just of sue gray of the civil service as a whole because course sue gray son, he's involved with the labour party , involved with the labour party, northern ireland, the casey who was involved the partygate report and actually encouraged to join the labour party. jacob point to point it out that this man had actually provided a link , his twitter encouraging people to go and join. so the fact that has gone and done this so soon after the report came out i

think is really questionable because how long of these negotiate is being you know, how long have they been being being discussed? how long has this been taking place? we should have investigation so that we can see what her communications have been with with the labour party, but also with the labour party's office , because this party's office, because this leader's office , because this leader's office, because this bnngs leader's office, because this brings into question the necessary impartiality of the civil service and it also brings into question her own . i mean, into question her own. i mean, she's supposed to be that she was supposed to be the head of ethics and propriety. so the fact that she's blocked other people from going on to do to have certain appointed in the house of lords or elsewhere and then she's to take up this role after having been privy to so much sensitive that of course she can't turn a switch her brain and forget all of that information when she goes to work for keir starmer , she has work for keir starmer, she has privileged access to that could help the labour party and it

really brings into question the impartiality of the report . so impartiality of the report. so that's not to say that there's been no wrongdoing. james o'brien on lbc has tried to undermine critics of sue gray by suggesting that the police issued these fines anyway. but that's completely beside the point he's missing exactly why this is such a broader concern because of course, many of us have known for a very long time that the brexit. there have been issues to do with as this case was himself a remainer. there have been issues to do with partiality around brexit, political partiality . and the political partiality. and the british public to know what has been going on here. and i think jacob rees—mogg is absolutely right that we should have an investigation into this in a proper inquiry though maybe not as he suggested led by boris johnson . well, i mean, the as johnson. well, i mean, the as you say, it would be well, it'd be slightly more balanced if it

was, to be honest seeing as i mean, i've heard people saying it feels like a left wing cabal, a group of people who all vested interests, all of which to be against boris johnson in positions of power that have brought partygate to the surface , kept it on the surface, and ensure that he is out of office as a result of it. do you buy into boris saying that he simply wasn't of things? do you into that ? i mean , wasn't of things? do you into that? i mean , i think that the that? i mean, i think that the partygate for me personally , i partygate for me personally, i think what it suggests is that the government didn't really think that coronavirus was as serious as they frightened the pubuc serious as they frightened the public into . and for me that public into. and for me that thatis public into. and for me that that is the main concern i know that is the main concern i know that there are lots of people who are also angry about hypocrisy. you know my own grandmother spent the last years of her life locked in a care home while they having tea home while they were having tea and and whatnot. so and biscuits and whatnot. so look, i understand that people are very angry about but are very angry about this, but on the other , there are on the other, there are even people . on the left there are people. on the left there are

people. on the left there are people like arron bastian who was on gb news himself, saying that this appointment looks really awful because it does bnng really awful because it does bring into question the impartiality of the civil service. it's a it seems to be a breach of the civil service. his own code. so, you know, i think we have to take a step back from all of the hate around the lockdown , around partygate . and lockdown, around partygate. and we need to take a serious at how how these civil servants are behaving and so surprising from sue gray, of course , because sue gray, of course, because she's known for so much integrity, it seems strange that she realise that this appointment is going to bring the civil service into disrepute. so i think this needs to be a non issue. we need to take a step back from the party politics here. recognise that this is this is fundamental really to do with the trust of the british public and the trust that they can have that civil servants are impartial in the way that they must be, because

it's absolutely necessary constitutionally for the functioning of this country, that civil servants are not partisan . and this brings all of partisan. and this brings all of that into question. and it's donein that into question. and it's done in plain sight as well . done in plain sight as well. interesting that they thought that that would be a good look. emma, thank you very much. that's she's a political that's webb. she's a political commentator. now, there's been plenty of fallout from the report partygate and the report into partygate and the appointment sue gray as appointment of sue gray as starmer's chief of staff . i'm starmer's chief of staff. i'm joined now by political reporter who is in downing street. so what developments you bring to light for us, catherine ? yes, light for us, catherine? yes, well the row rumbles on, doesn't it? after the revelation sue gray of partygate inquiry was to be keir starmer's, chief of staff . of course, the big news staff. of course, the big news is that the privileges committee is that the privileges committee is to interview boris johnson. long, long. the week beginning the 20th, about or not he

parliament either or unknowingly lie about the gatherings that took place in number 10 behind me during the various lockdowns . now the privileges committee consists of seven mps. it's led labour mp harriet harman , the labour mp harriet harman, the majority of them are conservative. those four conservatives on it . theirjob conservatives on it. theirjob is to look at all the evidence. now some of that will have come from the sue gray report , but from the sue gray report, but they've sent out dozens , dozens they've sent out dozens, dozens of questionnaires to people they've been they've actually at they've been they've actually at the layout of downing itself. they've looking at this for months . and today this report months. and today this report that drops at lunchtime 24 pages does seem quite at the moment for boris johnson that they've said there , is evidence that the said there, is evidence that the house of commons may have been misled and that the breaches guidance would have been obvious to boris johnson on seven

occasions and that they saying simply there were so many of these gatherings that he must have known what was going on and there is one quote he's handed over lots of whatsapp messages to them and he did give one quotes in november 2020 where he said leaving party number 10, probably the most socially distanced gathering in the uk right now. so making a joke of it, but boris johnson this afternoon has come out absolutely defiant, basically saying nothing to see here, saying nothing to see here, saying i didn't realise i was doing wrong because . nobody told doing wrong because. nobody told me i, assumed that i was following the rules because nobody told me otherwise. and also and by implication and inferring that may not have been altogether . and so casting inferring that may not have been altogether. and so casting doubt on the whole process through this very surprised appointment by keir starmer.

this very surprised appointment by keir starmer . just sue gray by keir starmer. just sue gray there was it was the case that she would have gathered advice from her own son is involved the labour party. it just seems to be quite a thick cloth . i mean be quite a thick cloth. i mean for me it seems a lot of things going on there. is any likelihood as you get sue gray investigated as jacob suggested . and we just lost catherine, which is the same because i'd like to find out what the would be that would try and catch up with her. but with me now is cox and brian deegan. but both are great voices. right start with you. and i brought say that. nice to see you both . let's nice to see you both. let's start with you. i see. because you look quite serious on this one. what is the optics like to you on this? you're hearing sue gray not going to join the labour party as a very high up position yet. she was in charge of ethics , also in charge of the of ethics, also in charge of the investigate list into partygate

. absolutely. when i heard it last night, that's exactly what i thought. i thought, can last night, that's exactly what i thought. i thought , can there i thought. i thought, can there be any credibility in her report ? i think i mean, i got some notes here and a lot of it is what it is saying. so what i will that hasn't been said that i think they are an issue party right investigation was a witch hunt against boris. i think we all know that keir starmer had very little curry and he wasn't investigating . and i think from investigating. and i think from the findings of the where sue gray says i'll quote other report's findings in leadership and judgement at number 10 and the cabinet office and the gatherings represent serious failure to observe how our standards expected of government . i think what she has done now defecting from it effectively investigating her boss to take it up her very high ranking with

keir starmer. you you don't your affiliations with the political party do not change that dramatically . you know you call dramatically. you know you call you can't just go from one to the other. mm well she probably thinks , she, she can but keir thinks, she, she can but keir starmer , sir keir starmer was starmer, sir keir starmer was eventually investigated but we have to push that . brian ponting have to push that. brian ponting and what do you think . i think and what do you think. i think it's very convenient to be attempting to see this as some kind of panacea and it's not, it's smokescreen essentially . it's smokescreen essentially. there are other reports such as the interim report today that's come out by the privileges . come out by the privileges. that's pretty . never mind sue that's pretty. never mind sue gray what she is investigated . gray what she is investigated. and we don't need to just look at sue gray and what has come outwith. we just need to go back the detail. jack doyle has nothing to do with the civil service or nothing to do with sue gray. and he as the

communications director in number 10 said that what saw didn't didn't bear up to the to the rules as they were in place at that time. so i think i think to see this as kind of policy is the usual subterfuge by boris johnson and forjacob the usual subterfuge by boris johnson and for jacob to the usual subterfuge by boris johnson and forjacob to come johnson and for jacob to come out and say that perhaps he should head up the investigation and to sue gray, you know, insults , intelligence. well, you insults, intelligence. well, you might say that. but you had investigation and now she's off to the labour party. so i'd say thatis to the labour party. so i'd say that is a bit of an insult. thank you very, brian and c right. let's get back to our political reporter, catherine, who is in downing street. catherine, sorry we lost you. we lost you. where we? where lost you. where were we? where were oh, yes. we're likely were we? oh, yes. we're likely to investigation to be getting an investigation into thing is, cheese into sue gray thing is, cheese suddenly sort of changing or going to a side. suddenly sort of changing or going to a side . well, i know going to a side. well, i know there's calls for that from . there's calls for that from. jacob rees—mogg specifically of

his very loudly requested that also for rishi sunak to block the appointment . i would say the appointment. i would say it's probably unlikely, but certainly is a lot of pressure on rishi sunak to at a minimum delay the appointment. now it's that the body which evaluates and assesses how long you have to wait before you go the civil service into another job tends service into anotherjob tends to recommend 3 to 6 months. usually but rishi sunak could push that if he wanted to up two years. now, of course reason keir starmer wants sue gray is she has huge in—depth knowledge of the way government works , way of the way government works, way that whitehall works . that's that whitehall works. that's massively valuable to him. so if rishi sunak wants to push it two years, that would be after the next election . so presumably next election. so presumably much of the of having sue gray then would be taken away. but it will be interesting to see what happens. there are will be interesting to see what happens . there are been happens. there are been questions asked now about obviously while she's been working as a had meetings with

sir keir starmer about this potential role . should she have potential role. should she have declared those in the interests of transparency? it appears that she hasn't . catherine. well, i'd she hasn't. catherine. well, i'd to see all the correspondence catherine forster . thank you catherine forster. thank you very much. she's our gb news political reporter. perhaps sue gray whatsapp messages needed to be taken a look at right? gray whatsapp messages needed to be taken a look at right ? well, be taken a look at right? well, new releases from the lockdown files show that matt hancock told old aides that they should get heavy with police enforcing restrictions. hancock feared officers were not doing enough to stop from breaking the rules. in august 20. with me now is norman brabin, who is the former london police officer . norman, london police officer. norman, thank you very much for joining me . so what is your view on this me. so what is your view on this that because hancock saying that you know we need to get heavy officers need to get heavy and he's pressure on the officers. talk to me about that . well, talk to me about that. well, policing really have nothing to do with politics. policing in general is kept away from

politics. however, a phenomenon hit the uk and in fact it hit the world. an eminent scientists and other relevant people inform the government unless there was a national lockdown for a period of months and possibly further penods of months and possibly further periods tens of thousands of people would die. so the government put in emergency measures and through to the police all this new legislation that was thought of overnight for frontline officers to get on with . and the police did the with. and the police did the best. we had quite a belligerent society. we still have got a belligerent society. and there were hundreds of thousands of people that decided to break the rules. i do agree . there were rules. i do agree. there were some unsavoury sites . there was some unsavoury sites. there was some unsavoury sites. there was some overzealousness on behalf of the police. but the police primarily role is this it's to keep the peace. protect society and save lives. and when police are told that possibly tens of thousands of people could lose

their lives, the burden is put on them to ensure that people comply with . the covid comply with. the covid regulations and that's why 114,000 got fixed penalty tickets. let's be honest about it. i know from speaking to frontline officers across britain, hundreds of thousands of people. which is told to go home and no further action was taken and they complied . do you taken and they complied. do you think there's a lot of this sort of hindsight going on, people at it all through to saying, oh, this can the other one actually, if you put yourself in the place at that time. the police did quite a good job. they did. in fact, what you just said is what i posted tonight on social media. i said, isn't it great? you know , we had covid. we're you know, we had covid. we're just supposed and for example, we this and tens of thousands of people died. more on top of the what did die then the police would be blamed for not coming down strong enough. if the police come down tough at the

time believing that they were saving lives . and don't forget, saving lives. and don't forget, it's one of their primary roles and not that many lives were lost. well, the police are to blame there. and a p quite honestly, this is the reality of policing today. it appears no matter what the issue or problem is, somehow it filters down to frontline police officers to be blamed for just about frontline police officers to be blamed forjust about in blamed for just about in society. and i will say this again, is the i have never seen such a discord . the public and such a discord. the public and the police . and don't forget, the police. and don't forget, the police. and don't forget, the police. and don't forget, the police are the public. the pubuc the police are the public. the public call the police . that's public call the police. that's what policing is all about. and we now have society where i'm afraid they bash the police. often helped by some mainstream media to such a degree . it's media to such a degree. it's a bit like your relationship . if bit like your relationship. if you bash someone an abuse and inqu you bash someone an abuse and insult them day in and day out, never giving them a chance to do what they want to do. and that's play what they want to do. and that's play their part in a relation and ship. then you're going to

lose them. and it's not until you've lost them that you realise what you once had. and you've got the best police service in the world. they're not. some committed not. some have committed horrific crimes, just a few. but the sad reality , it's the the sad reality, it's the majority that really the police service that have to pick up the pieces. and at this moment in time they're best blind , time they're best blind, maligned, attacked, insulted , maligned, attacked, insulted, assaulted every single day of the year. and that's why 20% are looking at leaving the british police service in the next two years. if they leave. who the hell is going to police the streets? it's them law of the jungle. so as i say, let's not lose the best police service in the world. let's brush ourselves down. we learn lot from covid, the police, state. the government did. the public did . government did. the public did. i lost three people during covid. i don't blame the government. the government possibly the best they could. yes. in hindsight, it could have been dealt with so much more. but how many people like you or me would thought, you know what,

i that job up i should wish i'd that job up and £150,000 now. but and gone £150,000 now. but that's life. i'm now on 30,000. such is life. maybe year. we get a better job. such is life. maybe year. we get a betterjob. do you think a better job. do you think people need to move on from all of this going through the lockdown files? i mean, obviously could have an investigation into the things could better. but it could have done better. but it seems know the best thing seems you know the best thing with the lockdown . with partygate the lockdown. taking the time which is taking us back the time which is gone now . and yes, we need to gone now. and yes, we need to learn the lessons. but you know, there are things going on there are other things going on right we need be right now that we need to be focusing heavily on. do you think we're losing focus? think that we're losing focus? absolutely we've lost our way. we've been distracted . there we've been distracted. there can't be many people in britain now that are not waiting for an operation that can barely pay their bills , pay their mortgage their bills, pay their mortgage , really are in dire. their bills, pay their mortgage , really are in dire . and in , really are in dire. and in london alone, just to give you an example, in last seven days, 20 people have been . we've had a 20 people have been. we've had a couple of murders . and in 134 couple of murders. and in 134 hour period. 12 people were

stabbed in london alone. and there are people being stabbed and murdered all over britain . and murdered all over britain. really? that's where we should the police should be focusing their time. and i the police should be focusing theirtime. and i don't the police should be focusing their time. and i don't know why. and i'm at a loss. maybe i'm an old dinosaur , old but i'm an old dinosaur, old but i would have thought. just like the second world war, britain pulled its pants up. there was moral fibre community and respect. and you know what we did? everybody did their bit. we didn't any phones. top of the range motors , hundreds of range motors, hundreds of thousands of pounds in salary. people had bare minimum. and i don't know all political parties can't put aside their differences . realise that the differences. realise that the country is on its knees. people are hurting. you've got the best police service in the world that you ignore. you don't pay well enough and. people can't pay their bills . and people are their bills. and people are dying of misery and loneliness. that where the distraction has been taken away from. and that's

my priority and i know it's many front line police officers to protect keep them safe and save lives. and i just wish concentration could be on the outstanding officers rather than the few that sadly fail. so normal . the few that sadly fail. so normal. thank you very much for that. he's a former london police officer. good to talk you. apologies if anyone was offended by the word that used earlier. right. earlier discussed criticism of a drag show for babies and toddlers held in south—east london. well, the organisers of the event gave this response to some of the criticism that they've received . we are aware of comments social media directed at cover bubble. part of the 2023 volt festival programme and a cabaret show is designed for parents with sensory moments babies and is a fun welcoming space for parents with . young babies. volt parents with. young babies. volt festival exists to support live performance and artistic talent, andifs performance and artistic talent, and it's bound to events that are welcoming to explore an

upcoming strike after reaching an agreement with the government on a pay offer. now the gmb and unite union say they've made significant progress in talks. the strikes were meant to take place on and wednesday next week . the unions say though they will continue discussions with the welsh government because no decision has yet been taken on calling further strike action . calling further strike action. well, boris johnson may have misled the house of commons at least four times, according to mps investigating his conduct over partygate. the commons committee says breaches of coronavirus rules in downing street would have been obvious to him at the time. well, mr. johnson, who was fined by for breaking lockdown rules , breaking lockdown rules, maintains all rules guidance had been followed . the reason been followed. the reason there's no evidence to show that i must known. i must have believed that illegal events were taking places because i didn't and i thought we fighting

good afternoon. it's coming up to 43 minutes after 5:00. this is gb news on tv online on digital radio. i'm nana akua now king charles has given the boot to harry and meghan and is evicting the sussex scenes from the uk home frogmore cottage. the property was given the couple by the queen as a wedding present and harry and meghan are reported be shocked at the development that's been reported. the andrew will move into the cottage with me now is grant harold who is a former royal butler to the king. grant now, i always knew that . grant now, i always knew that. grant my goodness , this is a bit of a my goodness, this is a bit of a is this a shocker there any intention here? because apparently the decision was made after the release of spare and camilla was probably king charles red line is there in this deal . do charles red line is there in this deal. do you know charles red line is there in this deal . do you know the this deal. do you know the timing as is quite to my mind it's obvious because we've always had the mark may, we've

recently had the netflix documentary and i've always said that i believe and i don't like the word retaliation, but i've always believed that it would be something that the palace would have to do. and i'm wondering if this is perhaps maybe i mean there's also a sense will move because the high be living in the uk is a cottage it remains empty and the king's obviously trying to work going forward what to do with these properties because remember as he's got the crown estate he is obviously overseas that and i'm sure his advisors have probably said to this is the best thing to do and now they're saying that the couple are shocked. do you have any insight , information as to any insight, information as to how this has been received ? them how this has been received? them i don't that i'm sure there will be shock, because remember, the cottage gifted by the queen and the same as the titles? not, i mean, lot of people have been discussing the same to me do i think they will keep the titles? and i've always said that i believe because they were gifted by the queen at that stage. but

no, that could even no, i think that could even bnng no, i think that could even bring that into question because. that the because. the thought that the queen and that's queen gifted this and that's always taken back for always been taken back for reasons i think the titles. it could be it could be the same. we could see that maybe they decide that they are no longer members and royal family are elite queen is no longer busy whether they any longer with a new king he's obviously trying to modernise and we know this he's to make this royal family smaller and perhaps they may feel that those titles may be no longer required . it is possible longer required. it is possible , but just be clear, prince will still be a prince and he does keep at this moment in time as wives and we will keep hrh is just he would lose that duke and duchess of sussex if they decided to take it back but . we decided to take it back but. we could still have a law where even if you have a birthright to something if you do it in the way he has that that could be removed as well you don't guaranteed that. i mean, has that ever been done before ? what

that ever been done before? what you know, the thing is, nothing's impossible. no, no. i think this is reality. i mean, the moment he's a state councillor, state prince harry, i'm referring and as such, if for whatever reason the king could carry out his duties, he's one of the people that get coal fired was recent news that they're going to change that they're going to change that they're going to add other members of the royal family including so again we including princes on so again we could removed that could see him removed from that role as in due course role as well in due course i think there's going to be lots of are going happen over of things are going happen over the because obviously the next year because obviously it's still a monarch, the it's still a new monarch, the new king. and also he's trying to work out how best to do things and the thing that keeps him got remember at the him we've got remember at the end the day is his son. i end of the day is his son. i work for them as you know. work for them not as you know. i know close the family where know how close the family where it's this happening but it's me to this happening but the point has come that what do you do you know what can he do and when what's hot and what's been done with prince harry i suppose they've got to do something this is how something and maybe this is how they're to do and they're going to do things and also it's a move because as i said, it's a cottage just sits

there empty. do you think that there empty. do you think that the red line might have been the sort of attack in the book on camilla possibly . yes i think i camilla possibly. yes i think i haven't read the book, nana. i haven't read the book, nana. i have a lot of friends to one today who read the book. it has shocked them and i'm sure if i very much doubt the king, queen cause i've read the book, i'm sure they've been to all the senate and it's going to be hurtful. and of course, it's hurtful. and of course, it's hurtful for these kind of things to be said. so possibly this this way as i said, don't like this way as i said, i don't like the retaliation, but the the word retaliation, but the palace got to something. palace have got to do something. and maybe a subtle way and this is maybe a subtle way of doing something, but it's given them a very clear message. i know, taking this i think, you know, taking this home them is kind home away from them is kind of saying, know, there's a line saying, you know, there's a line you've line, and if you you've crossed line, and if you keep crossing it, as i said, who knows? be titles next, knows? it could be titles next, it's a line that sounds like he's saying you're not welcome in the uk or when do come to the uk. you need to find your own place to stay. if they do come, why would they stay ? well the

why would they stay? well the reality is obviously they are still it's been document it reported that they're friends of other members, the royal family. it's possible the kids, maybe the family. but i think the royal family. but i think it's safe say that obviously it's safe to say that obviously he's made some money recently. so i think he could afford possibly buy or rent something if he wanted to. but maybe may also be the final push for them. maybe this might be the point where he thinks, well, my home is in the uk is in is no longer in the uk it is in the usa, and that's where he will continue maybe to leave and not come back, possibly. and how likely do he to get likely do you think he to get his because that's what his apology? because that's what he's . yeah, i, i think the thing he's. yeah, i, i think the thing about the thing the apology is , about the thing the apology is, you know, it's difficult to document apology. i mean , i document apology. i mean, i don't see how that i don't see that happening. i don't it's not going to happen. is the didn't get an apology grant house. i don't think so . thank you nato don't think so. thank you nato thank you so much. he's a former royal butler , grant harrold, royal butler, grant harrold, right now, i've been looking
