this is gb news bringing more as happens now. let's get back to emily calver. thank you welcome to real britain so here's what's coming up on the show this afternoon has gary lineker crowd got a bit ridiculous now pundit under the sun seems to be standing in solidarity . sun seems to be standing in solidarity. is this all a spectacular own goal for the bbc or have they done right thing in suspending the very vocal pundit prime minister rishi sunak has promised money. nearly £500 million of it to france and claims relations between the two countries are improving . but countries are improving. but will this solve the small boat crisis? plus, is prime minister right to bring forward the review into what's being taught in schools as fact ? after the in schools as fact? after the chief of the uk's education watchdog came out to say that some of the content used in sex education lessons has no

scientific basis. that's we're talking about for the next hour. i'd love to know your thoughts on all of today's topics as please do tweet me at gb news or you email me on you can email me on gbviews@gbnews.uk. you can also watch online too on youtube. watch us online too on youtube. stay tuned . so sports pundit stay tuned. so sports pundit gary lineker has plunged britain into yet another culture war. whether you hashtag stand with gary or think the bbc was absolutely right to suspend match of the day presenter for inflammatory tweet has become the question of the. here's a reminder of offending remarks. there is no huge influx take far fewer refugees than major european countries. this is just an american immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language thatis vulnerable people in language that is not to that used by germany in the thirties. and i'm out of order. that's what he had to say . so as a out of order. that's what he had to say. so as a result of this

historically illiterate, perhaps and rather offensive tweet, all hell has broken loose. boycotts have left the bbc's sports programming in tatters. sports legends ian wright and alan shearer pledged their allegiance to the motd host, refusing to take part on the show. mark chapman . murray. alex scott. chapman. murray. alex scott. kerry sommers and jason muhammad are also on strike. fans of football focus and final school have been left with repeats of bargain hunt and the repair shop .even bargain hunt and the repair shop . even fatboy slim took the opportunity last night to beam gary's on stage to his adoring fans , like some kind of memorial fans, like some kind of memorial . as a result, match of the day now be aired with no presenters, now be aired with no presenters, no and no commentators . it's no and no commentators. it's a bit of a farce. i think it would have been rather nice? actually lineker to encourage a lesser known pundit take the reins. what an opportunity . instead, what an opportunity. instead, he's reportedly left in tears, overwhelmed by all the support he's received from his fellow football pundits . so you're football pundits. so you're either on gary lineker side or

you're not. it's highly likely that anyone dared to put themselves forward to present themselves forward to present the show tonight would be hounded by the industry, shamed and, ridiculed. who would want that ? there are a few and, ridiculed. who would want that? there are a few things here for me. firstly was during to language used in germany in the thirties. historically and if so offensive enough to warrant his suspension too. is this a freedom of speech issue or is this a simple story of man breaks contract and faces repercussions? three if he's technically a freelance , should technically a freelance, should it matter what he tweets or does the fact he's practically the face the bbc and owes his 8.6 million strong following largely to the changed. yes the bbc guidelines certainly think so . guidelines certainly think so. fourthly, where does bbc go from here? clearly they're failing to apply impartiality guidelines fairly . if apply impartiality guidelines fairly. if gary is suspended, should alan, for example, be suspended for coming out against action? so in my view, it comes down to this . the bbc needs to

down to this. the bbc needs to decide what impartiality means and apply roles equally even handedly and without favour . and handedly and without favour. and a final thought. what happens if the match of the day is unaffected by the absence of lineker and say the viewing figures unchanged or don't fall dramatically tonight. would the bbc reconsider the six and seven figure salaries they dish out ponder whether they owe value for . money well, there are for. money well, there are various angles. we can go with this story on. joining me now is gb news reporterjack this story on. joining me now is gb news reporter jack carson who is live from bbc hq. jack, thank you very much for joining us this afternoon on britain. what's the very on this hot story ? well, the past 4 hours story? well, the past 4 hours have just been changing with more people coming out with , more people coming outwith, comments, more organisations saying that they're going to boycott, much of the day such as

the pfa, the professional footballers association said that even the premier league has informed of the 12 clubs playing today they won't a today that they won't have a requirement do any of the requirement to do any of the match of day post—match with match of the day post—match with players and management and that the pfa was going to stand their all players when they all of their players when they don't complete those those broadcast requirements . ian broadcast requirements. ian wright after of course saying he stood in solidarity with gary lineker, who said that he will quit the bbc if they get rid of him. and just moments ago, as you would have heard in the in the bulletin case, dom has also commented saying that the bbc have got this badly wrong have got this one badly wrong and they're very, very and now they're very, very exposed . the government exposed. the government department for culture, media and sport has said that the individual the individual cases a matter for the bbc . individual the individual cases a matter for the bbc. but we also know that part of the common sense group of mps are backbench group led by sirjohn hays. backbench group led by sirjohn hays . 36 of those have all hays. 36 of those have all signed a letter , say demanding signed a letter, say demanding an from gary lineker. an apology from gary lineker. and that's where all really whole row stems from, because

afternoon it looked like much the dates they would go ahead as but above bbc within the hierarchy a sort of meeting took place between them and gary lineker where they told him that he was going to have to step back unless he made a public apology an announcement essentially which sources close to say would have to gary lineker say would have caused a humiliation. caused him a humiliation. so today himself has gone to the leicester city football game and, the sports programming for the bbc has been left completely in tatters, essentially with football and final score, both because of those boycotts from the other reporters standing with him. i mean , is a bit of with him. i mean, is a bit of a disappointment for football fans . see that football focus and the other one, which i've forgotten, have now become the repeats bargain hunt and the repeats of bargain hunt and the repair shop. thank you very much for starting out there by the bbc hq. that is jack carson, news reporter so has the bbc scored a bit of an own goal here? have they handled badly or could the state broadcaster actually gain some support for

that decision? joining me now to discuss is francis foster, comedian , host of the comedian, host of the trigonometry podcast. thank you very much for joining trigonometry podcast. thank you very much forjoining us, francis and peter edwards here, the former editor of the list website , francis? there website right, francis? there are so angles to this story. i'll ask you the basic first was the bbc to take this action . the bbc to take this action. gary lineker . well, the bbc was gary lineker. well, the bbc was unfortunately put in an incredibly difficult position because the remit as a public broadcaster is to be impartial and neutral . and i think we can and neutral. and i think we can all agree left, right and centre that. gary lineker's comments were anything but neutral. and the thing that made it particularly difficult for the bbc is the employment night of gary's tweets comparing suella braverman , who i'm no fan of braverman, who i'm no fan of particularly more for incompetence than anything else tonight 1330 germany. so were put in an incredibly position

and ensuing split system meant that they had to act quickly and to be honest with you , i'm not to be honest with you, i'm not sure in the circumstances what else the bbc could have done . else the bbc could have done. fair enough. peter keir starmer has come out today to say that the bbc wrong and that essentially they let conservative politician jones influence their decision . do you influence their decision. do you think that's true . i think it is think that's true. i think it is true that. yeah but also i think it's because them party politics. i think, first of all, gary lineker excuse me, use the language of 1930. i would not have that. i don't think that's the right language to compare suella braverman to at all. but given where we are, i think the bbc guilty of hypocrisy because there's a conservative donor bbc chair yet the bbc is preaching impartiality, but they're also guilty of inconsistency because . gary lineker has been making political tweets for several years . they're about brexit or years. they're about brexit or immigration , asylum. so to act immigration, asylum. so to act now when they haven't acted in all the other political is

incredibly inconsistent. is just not the straw that broke the camel's back because they have had words with him previous director general the bbc have had to you know, sit him for down a chat or two about his social media use. is this just not an escalation? the final because some companies you be you might be sacked . exactly you might be sacked. exactly tweeting something like that anyway for the for the offence . anyway for the for the offence. well, that's a good point because in you might call an ordinary workplace or shop or an office if you do something , you office if you do something, you get sent to hr. or have a disciplinary procedure. whereas gary lineker does seem to have been receiving end of been on the receiving end of various several years yet various chats several years yet . and although i think he's right to, oppose the tory government policy, he did break the rules. i have a lot of sympathy for him personally, but but have been but i think the bbc have been very hypocritical and inconsistent. yeah, fair point. francis in terms of what i find interesting and is probably quite predictable is how this is sort of snowballed and how now

got every sports pundit under the sun coming out in solidary party hashtag. i stand with gary. what do you make of all that ? well, i'll be honest with that? well, i'll be honest with emily. everyone's on strike at the moment, so why not match of the moment, so why not match of the day where you guys bbc football decide to unionise . the football decide to unionise. the real issue i think with this is what way i actually talking about here is not lineker, it's not football . it is. what is the not football. it is. what is the role of the bbc moving forward ? role of the bbc moving forward? because the bbc , particularly because the bbc, particularly when it comes their output with their coach , they're all it's their coach, they're all it's their coach, they're all it's their society, their comedy they have shown a left by a complete left wing bias to the point where if you are right of centre and you in the arts the chances are you're not going to get platformed you're not going to get a song. your voice is not going be heard. that being going to be heard. that being the case, and more people have become more and more disillusioned the bbc. and disillusioned with the bbc. and this the moment when it's all

this is the moment when it's all actually exploded and we'll get if there is done is to sent out an ill thought out tweet but he's inadvertently stepped a landmine that has been waiting to explode for many years and that's actually what we're talking about here. yeah i mean, it's not looking great for the broadcaster. they managed to clean this one up. i'm not sure. but peter, this come down to that impartiality rules. but peter, this come down to that impartiality rules . surely that impartiality rules. surely they have to be applied even handedly without favour across the board . and yes, you could the board. and yes, you could say that too about the likes of andrew neil and alan sugar who have been vocal with a different political view . well, yeah. and political view. well, yeah. and i think it comes out of the bbc not knowing what they mean by, impartiality both in of impartiality both in terms of senior management, where you've the chair donate to the tory party and if ben me says me right, tim davie, the director general was very briefly 30 years ago a conservative candidate. then you've got working journalists . today the working journalists. today the bbc confused about whether bbc are confused about whether they're people or

they're freelance people or whether they're on payroll. subject normal workplace , but subject normal workplace, but i think the bbc need to clarify that because we're back into yet another bbc crisis sneezing pop up. but the other thing , the up. but the other thing, the point i'd make very briefly about bbc crisis is, is every government falls out of the bbc, mrs. thatcher and boehner taking about her press secretary who passed away very recently . they passed away very recently. they got of the bbc times . got sick of the bbc at times. tony course, various tony blair, of course, various david cameron, boris johnson . david cameron, boris johnson. it's always now the list goes on. governments fall out with the national broadcaster. yeah they do they and i'm sure i mean remember jeremy corbyn and his rememberjeremy corbyn and his fans were very angry with the way he dealt with wrongly or way he was dealt with wrongly or rightly, france is just rightly, from france is just finally is answer to this whole thing to scrap the licence then they don't have to abide by impartiality, rules and no one can really have a go . oh look, can really have a go. oh look, i think that is inevitably what is going to happen. the bbc see i have a lot of love and affection , particularly the content of

the programmes they used to create . the reality is, as we create. the reality is, as we move forward into the 21st century and we have never and all the other providers, the bbc is just going to have to compete with them and it's not realistic andifs with them and it's not realistic and it's sustainable to demand that everybody pay a licence fee for this organisation, which more and more does not represent the average person. very quickly, peter . oh no, you quickly, peter. oh no, you should keep the bbc as it is. it's got to be a bit smaller, spend a bit less time in favour of plurality, see, have gb news a start up sky news, a massive corporation, both , you know, corporation, both, you know, free market models and a state broadcaster forcing broadcaster channel forcing somewhere in the middle. it's good have a mix. you good to have a mix. well, you never know they might be never know might they might be able back their able to cut back on their staffing gary lineker staffing costs if gary lineker well match of day without well match of the day without gary does equally as gary lineker does equally as well but we'll have to well tonight but we'll have to wait to see the figures from that. thank you very much indeed, frances foster and editor list, peter editor of labour list, peter edwards. me in the edwards. here with me in the studio. have statement from

studio. we have a statement from the say the bbc has the bbc. they say the bbc has beenin the bbc. they say the bbc has been in extensive discussions , been in extensive discussions, gary team in recent days gary and his team in recent days . said that we consider . we have said that we consider his social activity to be his recent social activity to be a our . the bbc a breach of our. the bbc has decided that he will step back from presenting match of the day until we've an agreed and until we've got an agreed and clear on his use of clear position on his use of social when it comes to social media. when it comes to leading football and sports leading our football and sports coverage, gary is second to none. we never said that none. we have never said that gary an opinion free zone or gary be an opinion free zone or that can't have a on that he can't have a view on issues matter him. but issues that matter to him. but we that he should keep we have said that he should keep it. taking sides on it. well from taking sides on party issues or party political issues or political . not political controversies. i'm not sure you that circle sure how you square that circle changing to tv tonight from 10 pm. to watch all stars studded match of the day alternative with mark dolan be hearing more about that later on in the show but after break we'll be discussing the issue that has sparked the whole in a crowd small boats let's get small boats crisis. let's get back to the policy. but first, let's have a look at the

weather. hello there. i'm greg chu , host and welcome to your chu, host and welcome to your latest broadcast met latest broadcast from the met office. see rain and hail office. we'll see rain and hail pushing through pushing northeastward through next 24 or so, turning next 24 hours or so, turning breezy . but now there is breezy. but now there is returning from the atlantic and we can see that in the bigger picture. see the oranges picture. we can see the oranges and yellows starting to creep in from the southwest, blues from the southwest, the blues being away as we head being shunted away as we head through the beginning through later into the beginning of next week. but does it last? well, we'll see outlook well, we'll see in the outlook through the rest of saturday evening see band of evening we can see that band of rain parts of northern rain across parts of northern and northern england pushing its way north and east with some hill snow across the pennines up into the mountains of scotland. metservice warnings force with snow ice perhaps up to ten snow and ice perhaps up to ten centimetres the scottish . centimetres over the scottish. some stretches here but that some icy stretches here but that milder starting to move in from the southwest of 5 to 7 by sunday morning . but it the southwest of 5 to 7 by sunday morning. but it is a dry picture start sunday across much of england and, wales we see some sunny spells . early rain some sunny spells. early rain will clear the north face of scotland to allow brighter skies for a time before then thicker

cloud outbreaks of rain move in here the afternoon. also across northern ireland where the rain could heavy at times. and could be heavy at times. and then on the day, some then later on in the day, some further rain coming into parts of everyone , 12, of mild day for everyone, 12, 13, 14 degrees by sunday afternoon in the west of any sunny breaks just turned wetter and, windier through the evening, though, on sunday as bands of weather systems move in, this rain turning heavy at times across southern parts of scotland into northern ireland, to the wind starting to pick up irish sea coast could start to see gales by monday morning but it's a very mild night. temperatures nine, ten, 11 celsius. so any lying snow over , the hills melt quite , the hills will melt quite quickly . then it's a , the hills will melt quite quickly. then it's a monday will be an unsettled day. for many, the outbreaks of rain pushing eastwards across england wales some strong winds gales some very strong winds gales around the rain across around the coasts rain across northern ireland scotland falling over the high falling as snow over the high ground here. so some and nearby outbreaks rain, but for most it will be mild on monday before then that cold air returns everyone tuesday here on gb

everyone by tuesday here on gb news live we'll be keeping you in the picture finding out what's happening across the country, finding out why it matters to you . we'll have the matters to you. we'll have the facts fast our team of facts fast with our team of reporters specialist reporters and specialist correspondent . wherever it's correspondent. wherever it's happening, there in 12 happening, we'll be there in 12 noon on tv, radio and online. gb news the peoples channel. britain's news.

channel is. welcome back to real britain dv news. now the question the day has been most the bbc right to remove gary from the match of the over his tweets. i want to know your views but we're going to go back to the policy that kicked this all the migrant policy , of course, the illegal policy, of course, the illegal immigration bill. so yesterday dang immigration bill. so yesterday during an anglo—french summit in paris, prime minister rishi sunak that britain sunak announced that britain will france nearly half a

will pay france nearly half a billion pounds over the next three years to step up efforts to prevent boats from crossing the channel the prime minister praised unprecedented £478 praised the unprecedented £478 million package to fund a new detention centre in france and hundreds of extra law enforcement officers on french shores. so joining me now to discuss this is stephen wolf, director at centre for migration and economic prosperity. stephen this is this is a lot money we're going to be giving to the french. do you have faith that this will well, do what what it's intended to. well, we only keep our fingers crossed and hope that time half a billion poundsis hope that time half a billion pounds is actually going to help stop the boats coming across. because we've already spent 250 million. and so will be three quarters of £1,000,000,000 that we've given to the french in nine years. it's a substantial of money and of course we have to include the money we have spent on our own . illinois, the spent on our own. illinois, the border agency and the navy, which is also running about £250

million a year. so stop us. stop the boats. it is generally costing three quarters of a billion every year to protect our borders. and they're still coming. right. well, i was wondering whether so apparently, according to reports , will be according to reports, will be three instalments over , the three instalments over, the years of this money. yeah, i was thinking that it should be pegged thinking that it should be pegged to before months because it seems like it hasn't been in the so for example if we the past. so for example if we give them the first lot, which is 124 million in the next year , okay, if they do a good job, will then give them their second instalment in 2024, which be £168 million, surely the way to go ? well, of course, in every go? well, of course, in every pubuc go? well, of course, in every public procurement programme that we have contracts, there are these clauses that say if you fail to build on time, unless of course your hs2 , well, unless of course your hs2, well, we just keep giving you more and more money. so it would be a brilliant idea, emily, if they turned around and said, for illegal channel migrant, that gets into a boat and slips

through and has be picked up by our navy then we should deduct a million or two per person. i think that might incentivise them. but these are the french and let's imagine what the french would say they would still carry on ignoring us until we paid up. they've done a brilliant deal. we paid up. they've done a brilliant deal . macron is a brilliant deal. macron is a massive negotiator on this. he managed that with priti patel. he got 65 million from her when she was home secretary and. i think at the end of the day, just got to hope and pray that when they say that the french are also going to put in four times as much that a of drones that a number of police officers the border agency forces this time jim they will actually stop the boats but i question this for you, emily. if they stop coming over the boats, they're going to start coming back into the banks of lorries in other ways as well. there is ways as well. well, there is that. you think smells a that. do you think smells a little bit of desperation in rishi sunak obviously wishes this very controversial bill is led to well meltdown the bbc at

least in one way or another he's got this very controversial bill, this, of course, cooperation with the french. another prong in his very pronged approach to stopping the boats. do you think he smells a bit of desperation? think perhaps we haven't got the best bargain. the french. i think he knows that this is a major political for rishi sunak not only for the politics of the north of england and the midlands where people are crying out to have this stopped. and so that they could vote for their own conserver . this again. and own conserver. this again. and the red wall is really but more importantly for macron as well. it's the perception that he can now be seen to lead the european union on immigration and asylum when so much of the kind of politics of europe has been lost. to maloney in in italy and, of course, what's been happening in sweden and denmark . and he wants to be seen as liberal fare and balanced person

deaung liberal fare and balanced person dealing with this particular. and i think he's going to use this as a stepping stone, not only in his own, but also to make this macron's eu . yes. and make this macron's eu. yes. and just lastly, but while we've got you i want you to answer our question of the day, the bbc right to suspend gary over his tweets well, absolutely. tweets. well, absolutely. there is balance that's to be made. the you saw the bbc's own particular statement that said they political guidelines clearly gary lineker went offside and shot past the net and missed and i him do that many times for england afraid i never really understood the glorification of this particular striker who never really won a world cup for us, did he? but he's made millions out of it. doubt very much that he's going to be overly offended. but i would actually this, that's would actually say this, that's really interesting. really quite interesting. all of those that actually those stars that have actually gone alongside him and said, we're going well. we're not going perform well. it's me . we could do it's people like me. we could do bbc . i'd love it's people like me. we could do bbc. i'd love to go off and do the match of the day and i bet

right welcome back to real britain on gb news tv, online and digital radio. so back to our top story of the day, the suspension of. gary lineker from match of the day over his tweets. for this next segment , tweets. for this next segment, i'm the bbc i'm asking, was the bbc pressured by the right wing media and some tory mp to just suspend lineker? and if so , this suspend lineker? and if so, this right or wrong ? joining me now right or wrong? joining me now in the studio is david oldroyd.

both. thank you very much indeed for joining me, sir. what you forjoining me, sir. what you make of this all said perhaps a storm in a teacup. what do you think? there's something a little bit. well, what's the word for it? little bit on word for it? a little bit on about fact that mps did seem about the fact that mps did seem to be almost lobbying the bbc to bow sack gary? well, i think it's a hypocrite situation. it's just the left does all the time . it'sjust just the left does all the time . it's just the tables have been turned . this instance, gary turned. this instance, gary lineker, is paid a vast amount through , a poll tax. we have no through, a poll tax. we have no opfion through, a poll tax. we have no option or not. we pay him if we have a television, we're paying him. therefore, i think it's perfectly that he must abide by the bbc's code of conduct which requires that doesn't express political in a public political views in a public forum, which he did. it's sophistry say that just sophistry to say that just because he was not doing it in his job, as it were, because he didn't sit on match of the day and make the comments he made the government policy that he shouldn't punished he shouldn't be punished or that he shouldn't be punished or that he shouldn't censured. he should shouldn't be censured. he should be. very, clear code be. it's a very, very clear code of conduct and. i think those who are coming out in support of

in with lineker are in solidarity with lineker are being there being desperately there have been people over the been many, many people over the course of particularly past ten or 20 years who would not get away with what he's got away with. they coming at it with. were they coming at it from different view, from a different point view, where coming at it from where they coming at it from a conservative point of view? well, i'm not if that if we well, i'm not sure if that if we can say that completely, of course. neil, who course. andrew, neil, who i think always populist, think was always a populist, he tweeted things and wrote things and also was also alan sugar came against strike action came out against strike action against mick lynch , etc. these against mick lynch, etc. these are all political and it seems confusing to me that the bbc says that he can't talk party political issues or political controversies , but he can have controversies, but he can have an opinion on issues that matter to. so how do you square that ? i to. so how do you square that? i don't think you should square it. i think it should be straightforwardly that anybody who's a bbc or employee as is, should not be expressing political views a public political views in a public forum they're taking forum while they're taking money. reiterate the money. and let us reiterate the point that we have no choice whether or not we pay for this.

if for channel if he were working for channel 4 or sky or whomever. you have a choice whether not use choice whether or not you use a service fun channel for his pubuc service fun channel for his public lets say for the public that lets say for the moment choice with moment you have that choice with the you have not that the bbc, you have not that choice we are compelled by force of and with threat of of law and with threat of imprisonment his salary. imprisonment to pay his salary. that's well have that's very true. well have nigel with two nigel nelson here with us, two political sunday political editor of the sunday mirror sunday zooming in. mirror and sunday zooming in. thank much, nigel. what thank you very much, nigel. what do you think starmer has sort of suggested that the bbc gave in to tory mps and their complaints 7 to tory mps and their complaints ? yes, i think they did. and the whole point here is that if you go back to lineker, his original tweet quite clearly, he went too far. there's no question that the language of 1970s germany has been used at the moment. it's not so the issue was not the gary lineker had an opinion which the bbc acknowledges is entitled to do is that the opinion became terribly extreme. if left his tweet by saying that the small policy was cruel and

hit vulnerable people , that hit vulnerable people, that would have been fair. he went too far , by making a comparison too far, by making a comparison with germany . what should not with germany. what should not have happened is the row should have happened is the row should have been called down rather than slowed down. so the bbc should have a quiet word with him, tried to resolve the issue , not doing such things again, and instead they poured petrol on the fire and it explodes. now into an argument about free speech. but nigel. nigel. sorry. sorry interrupt you, but haven't the bbc already done that with him several times. they've already had him and gave him a slap on the wrist . well, i mean, slap on the wrist. well, i mean, what they what? there was obviously a conversation with him and his representatives after tweeted, we don't know. as after tweeted, we don't know. as a result , that conversation . the a result, that conversation. the point i'm making is what the bbc do is then suspend him and make a bad situation even worse. and as far i can see, they've caved

in to pressure from the government . the government loves government. the government loves this is distracting from the policy itself . david, do think policy itself. david, do think there's a well, do you you seem to take the view . this shows to take the view. this shows that basically should not be paying that basically should not be paying for the bbc in the way that they do now . do you think that they do now. do you think this has ignited yet row about how the bbc paid for? it would be a conservation devoutly to be wished, but unfortunately i don't think it will be because the government always run away from that debate because they know how much entrenched opposition take opposition there to it. i take absolute issue nigel absolute issue as nigel saying, that that it was fair comment in in first instance or it in the first instance or it would have been fair comment to say that this is a terrible policy, it not the position policy, it is not the position or should not be the position or it should not be the position of bbc employees to passing of bbc employees to be passing comment government comment up on government nor indeed the policy the opposition. be opposition. they should be scrupulous disinterested. scrupulous, disinterested. and if wish to take advantage if they wish to take advantage of their fame and of their platforms to make political comments of this sort, they should resile from their positions bbc . they positions with the bbc. they should result their

should result from their positions are forced positions with three are forced to i just don't think to pay for. i just don't think it is congruent. have a huge it is congruent. i have a huge believer speech. i was believer in free speech. i was one of the first people to join the speech, i think the free speech, but i think this an issue where the this is an issue where the contractual obligation overrides the free expression. the right to free expression. but i take your but i worry that i take your point and. to you to point and. i agree to you to some extent, essentially this could be just a conversation, a debate about a man going against his breaking his his contract, breaking his contract, and then facing the repercussion is like any of us would we went against all would if we went against all contracts various contracts with our various employers. but nigel, i find interesting is that in this of social media, everyone their own personal brand and alongside where they work is it frankly near impossible now for the bbc to police to police impartiality nowadays. i don't think so i mean when it comes to social media you take response but if you're over social media and as i've said i think gary lineker went too far and he should reflect the fact about whether

he's as the face of bbc sport, he's as the face of bbc sport, he should be putting out tweets like that that in a sense a different argument because quite clearly bbc says, well, actually he's entitled to an opinion and on that basis that he's exercise exercised that right seemingly under his contract. i don't he should have done i think it's very unwise somebody in his position to be commenting on politics at all but the bbc seem to say he can't. now when it comes to down bbc impartiality they've they've wrecked own impartiality by siding the government over this particular issue . yes. well, david, do you issue. yes. well, david, do you do. what do they do now in of managing the bbc staff and the many thousands, i think of the bbc has, because if they have now sacked gary lineker, that sets a precedent. a bigger president or suspended him a bigger than previously when they just him a tap on the wrist. i

think there has been a suggestion in the past when richard price came for in that bbc staff should not be using twitter . that seems to me like a twitter. that seems to me like a very simple to enact really that sounds horribly draconian people . if people view social media in such a well it's their personal brand. it's part of their identity now is how they promote their views, etc, etc. that would be horribly authoritarian . well, i don't think it's authoritarian. think it's the case that many bbc still seem incapable of restricting their own actions on twitter, emily maitlis came under fire for this when she was a bbc . she was when she was a bbc. she was censored several times for this. so there is a dichotomy here. do we trust the staff to censor their own behaviour too? as we all have to do to some degree another to think about what we're , that that we're saying, the way that that accords our job and of accords with our job and of course is right to personal course is our right to personal expression or does the organisation what we would be a draconian step and yet perhaps a rational step in light this latest incident and say that if you wish to work for us bearing

in mind again as i'm going to return you throughout debate, return to you throughout debate, the is funded by the fact that this is funded by poll you cannot use this poll tax, you cannot use this this is a condition of the and employee you here. you employee that you have here. you may not use i mean, nigel, i think that would be well, i think that would be well, i think the bbc would cease to exist say should be exist. they say you should be able to recruit young people able to recruit any young people who have been using social media since they were tiny children to be banned from social media entirely . no, exactly . and entirely. no, exactly. and david, as he said, this is an of freedom of speech . and surely freedom of speech. and surely the one thing you can do is to be free to have your own twitter account . what i think you should account. what i think you should then do , you should use it then do, you should use it responsibly , but then do this as responsibly, but then do this as being just being responsible for what you say. so when you're on twitter or any other social media, you're effectively broadcasting us. you must be conscious of your employer , conscious of your employer, which in this case is the bbc. gary lineker about exactly what it is you're putting out there, but not to go around banning

people from getting on social media quite agree. but i'm advocating for this, by the way. i'm just saying i could understand the logic of the step not entirely logical that the bbc to take were it to do this because seems that staff because seems that bbc staff particularly the higher paid ones larger profile those ones with larger profile those in the public eye are not always capable of restricting themselves to the comments that are congruent with their positions and their absolute duty to be disinterested. i'm not for a and i don't want to be misquoted on this or to see this on front page of the sunday mirror tomorrow thanks saying that bbc staff should not be using twitter or should banned from or banned from from it or banned from instagram. ludicrous. from it or banned from inst saying, ludicrous. from it or banned from inst saying, however ludicrous. from it or banned from inst saying, however , ludicrous. from it or banned from inst saying, however , could rous. i'm saying, however, could understand why there might be a view the bbc that this is view within the bbc that this is the way to control the beast. well that you go, you're not going you're not going to put going to you're not going to put that going to that out. you're not going to advocate entirely. but advocate that entirely. but you know i think i think know what? i think it's i think the in such a mess at the the bbc in such a mess at the moment, you people on the left accusing it of in cahoots with the tory government and

perpetuating policies perpetuating right wing policies . got people the . and then you've got people the right saying it's a lefty metropolitan . well whole . so metropolitan. well whole. so there you go. no, the bbc seem to please anyone , but thank you to please anyone, but thank you very much indeed forjoining nigel nelson, of course. and david auld. right, but they will be staying with us for the next piece, too. but first, i will go to a statement from the bbc. the bbc will air limited sport programming over the weekend and is working hard to resolve the situation. spokesman for situation. a spokesman for the broadcast said presenters broadcast said after presenters and pundits out of several shows in support of gary lineker. in an earlier statement , in support of gary lineker. in an earlier statement, bbc said the has been in extensive the bbc has been in extensive discussions with and his discussions with gary and his team days. we team in recent days. we have said that consider his recent said that we consider his recent social activity to be social media activity to be a breach our. the bbc has breach of our. the bbc has decided he will step back from presenting match of the day until we've an agreed and until we've got an agreed and clear on his use of clear position on his use of social when it comes to social media when it comes to leading football and sports leading all football and sports coverage, gary is second to none. never said that none. we have never said that gary should be opinion free gary should be an opinion free zone that he have zone or that he can't have a view on issues matter to

view on issues that matter to him. have said that he him. but we have said that he should keep from taking should keep away from taking sides party political issues sides and party political issues or contra verses. or political contra verses. i think difficult think that's quite a difficult to circle anyway. now in to squared circle anyway. now in a from gb news fans of a statement from gb news fans of match of the day, do not the people's channel has come the rescue . tune into gb news rescue. tune into gb news tonight from 10 pm. to watch our star studded match of the day alternative with mark dolan will be on tonight 10 pm. please do stay tuned for that. i think it will be a barrel of laughs now moving we've got our political panel back but on something very different this week , head of the uk's education week, head of the uk's education watchdog ofsted has criticised schools sex education lessons, saying that content used in some classes had no basis in science . amanda spielman the regulator's chief inspector intervened after the prime minister announced a review of sex education in schools, as some reports suggest that children should be given graphic lessons sex and choking lessons on. oral sex and choking . earlier, labour if they . earlier, labour said if they win next general election

. earlier, labour said if they win would .t general election . earlier, labour said if they win would create ral election . earlier, labour said if they win would create an election . earlier, labour said if they win would create an annuali they would create an annual review safeguarding review of safeguarding in schools as . they warned that too schools as. they warned that too many being exposed to many girls are being exposed to intolerable language images and behaviour. and david behaviour. so nigel and david are still with me. nigel what do you make of all this? do you think it's got a bit tricky because there are so many reports schools delivering the most awful education in schools. you know , you've got drugs you know, you've got drugs coming in saying there are 73 genders, you said , teaching genders, as you said, teaching about oral sex and masturbation and choking and all sorts. do you think sex education needs to be reined in back to the birds and the bees? well first of all, the various you've mentioned, there's very evidence that any of that is actually happening . of that is actually happening. but when it comes to the 73 genders, that was a one school on the isle of man which has its own government anyway . the only own government anyway. the only evidence for kids being taught told about safe ways to choke comes from someone's blog. so it's not something that appears be in schools anyway . there is be in schools anyway. there is a

review already going on and there's a statutory three year review into sex relationship education in schools and that's already started. so rishi sunak announced was in fact already happening where amanda spielman is. absolutely right is it needs to look at the fact there are minimum expect dictations but no maximum . so the question is maximum. so the question is whether not this now needs a bit a bit more regulation then just got to the moment, nigel, you've played down those those two incidents that were mentioned in my introduction. there but david, i think what gets parents is how transgender ideology impacts killer is taught . fact impacts killer is taught. fact yes and so it should do and i take with an enormous bucket of salt the idea that labour would do anything about this because labouris do anything about this because labour is unable to define what a woman is. so the idea that children be safeguarded by the labour seems the birds, labour party seems the birds, the straightforward fact is that for a quarter of a century, the idea of sex education in schools

has gone too far, far, too far. it has taken the responsibility from parents and abrogated it to the is always, in my the state which is always, in my view, wrong. and it has taken the age at which this begins to frankly obscene level . there is frankly obscene level. there is no way that primaries schoolchildren, particularly those of four or five and six years old, should be learning about this sort of. i mean, nigel, are you concerned that children because i'm concerned if children i will worry and if i. children i will worry and i'll probably down to the school to check what my kids are being taught. i want them to be taught, for example, that gender is only at birth , that gender is only at birth, that gender can be fluid, and that your identity can change with the wind essentially , it does seem wind essentially, it does seem that like with critical theory, this sort of thing is now quite commonplace . well, i think the commonplace. well, i think the parents absolutely have a right to know what their children are being taught . i don't think they being taught. i don't think they have the right to veto it as such any more than they have a

right to it over any other part of the curriculum. but certainly parents should be kept in touch with children of learning , with children of learning, right? you don't. sorry to interrupt you think that parents should able to veto, do you think they should be able to pull their children out of sex education? no, i that is part of the national curriculum . and on the national curriculum. and on that basis, then parents should allow that to go ahead. but they can certainly make objections. they should certainly know what is being told. the whole point aboutin is being told. the whole point about in relation to education is since it's been introduced , is since it's been introduced, teen pregnancy rates have fallen , there's less sexually transmitted sexual diseases amongst youngsters. transmitted sexual diseases amongst youngsters . so the amongst youngsters. so the overall health improves and they're prepared to delay having sex for longer. they're prepared to delay having sex for longer . so there are sex for longer. so there are benefits. the question really is whether it does need a bit more. nigel andrews sorry interrupt you again, but that might be a correlate and not a causation. a lot of other things changed

other than sex education and how taught women . have more girls, taught women. have more girls, have more opportunities ? they're have more opportunities? they're more ambitious in terms of going to university. they want to put off having children for many, many different reasons. and yes, there been campaigns of there have been campaigns of awareness on stis and that awareness on on stis and that sort of thing. but i think, i don't think it's because don't think it's just because sex education has become more broad in schools. david, do broad in schools. david, what do you indeed. the you think? no. and indeed. the fact that they're having such a sexual education younger means that of that they're probably aware of how works. so you how contraception works. so you can't say that they're having less probably less sex. just they're probably having sex. i simply don't having safer sex. i simply don't think this the purview of think that this the purview of the state. i think this is something that is down to parents and their relationship with their children, how they approach age they approach it, at what age they approach it, at what age they approach what manner of approach it, what manner of terminology they use and the degree comfortable degree to which comfortable doing is not matter doing this. this is not matter for state to dictate to for the state to dictate to parents. this is the age at which your should be aware of these things, particularly when we're sexual we're talking about new sexual practises also. nigel, do you think there is a danger because 7 think there is a danger because ? not always people are

? it's not always people who are particularly well who aren't professionals . these areas who professionals. these areas who were chosen to teach these subjects. so it could be the geography teacher or the history teacher sociology teacher teacher or the sociology teacher who to in a class about who comes to in a class about sex education. do you think there's a risk and i don't mean to be a conspiracy theorist, but do you think that there might be a risk some might use sex a risk that some might use sex to educate in a way to in to educate in as a way to in doctrine eight or to, in their words , educate children on words, educate children on things like transgender ideology , things that aren't based necessarily in scientific fact ? necessarily in scientific fact? well, i mean, that's the point. the point amanda spielman was making that all teaching should be on on scientific fact and thatis be on on scientific fact and that is the point about the review to look at whether it should be regulated better. and obviously ofsted and amanda spelman are the right people then to do that i think what you've got to do that is make sure that teachers have the leeway to be able to answer children's questions honestly, but have some guidance about to

how frame those answers . yeah, i how frame those answers. yeah, i think that's fair. and if remarks david, this not just a matter of fact, of scientific fact , this is a matter of fact, this is a matter of morality, of culture and, of approach, each of which is individual to a family. and i just don't that we can say that it's fine to teach these things to children because they are matters of scientific fact. this is for families to decide among themselves. it is not for the state to do. and it's about time that the conservative party actually lived up to name actually lived up to its name and propounded conservative and propounded a conservative theory . and then of theory. and then there's of course, the minefield course, the whole minefield world religious schools, world around religious schools, teaching god knows but teaching god knows what, but thank much. well should thank you very much. well should do. you much indeed , do. thank you very much indeed, both us, nigel both of you. joining us, nigel nelson both you nelson and oldroyd, both you very much indeed. we've got a statement from the department of education who said we will write to all schools this term to emphasise the rights of parents, to materials being to see teaching materials being taught their children. taught to their children. schools sure all content schools must sure all content they use is factual age

they use is factual and age appropriate and engage with parents are aware parents so they are aware of what their children are being taught. fair enough. this taught. sounds fair enough. this is on gb news is real britain on gb news onune is real britain on gb news online digital radio . plenty online and digital radio. plenty more up on today's show. more coming up on today's show. but first, here's your latest weather. hello there. i'm greg hurst and welcome to your latest broadcast the met office. broadcast from the met office. we'll and snow we'll see rain and hail, snow pushing northeastward through next or so, turning next 24 hours or so, turning breezy , milder is returning from breezy, milder is returning from the atlantic and we can see that in the bigger picture. we can see the oranges, yellows starting to creep in from the southwest, blues being southwest, the blues being shunted we head through shunted away as we head through later the beginning later sunday into the beginning of next. but does it last? well, we'll see in the outlook for the rest saturday evening we can see that band of across parts that band of rain across parts of ireland into northern england pushing way north and east with some hail, snow possible across the into mountains the pennines up into mountains of scotland met office warnings force of and ice perhaps to force of snow and ice perhaps to ten centimetres over the scottish some icy stretches here but that milder starting to move in from the southwest of 5 to 7

that the country's broadcaster is under rather a of pressure today. yesterday, it that gary lineker had been suspended from match of the day until he agrees a social media policy with the bbc . the newest news line in the bbc. the newest news line in the story that the bbc has apologised to staff after it dropped much of its sports programming this weekend. according leaked letter according to a leaked letter shared on twitter by the times is football writer henry is chief football writer henry winter. so let's go live the home of the bbc broadcasting house, central london, where we are by gb news reporter are joined by gb news reporter jack carson. jack have there been any more people threatening to the bbc have any to quit? does the bbc have any sports sports presenters left . sports sports presenters left. well, so far , more people well, so far, more people threatening to quit. but you you're right. we have had this leaked or email that's been sent by the director of bbc sport, barbara slater to staff and just read it now it says we're sorry the impact that the news relating to gary lineker our match of the day is having across the department this weekend. we understand how unsettling this is for all of

you . the staff in the bbc sport you. the staff in the bbc sport and our freelance community and we the strength of feeling which has been generated by this issue. so it shows the feeling the bbc sport staff of when they when they decided to join a lot the other pundits like ian wright alex scott within this boycott of not choosing help produce the programmes present the programmes. we've also heard from the bbc themselves who've apologised essentially for what it's called a limited sport . it's called a limited sport. this weekend they . say we're this weekend they. say we're sorry for these changes, which we recognise will be disappointed that sport fans going on to we're working hard to resolve the resolve the situation and we hope to do so. we have heard from keir starmer, the leader of the opposition, this. he's been speaking at the welsh he's he said welsh conference. he's he said that the bbc have got one badly wrong and now they're very, very exposed . the department for exposed. the department for media, culture and sport have said that this is an individual

case, which is a matter for bbc. but amongst backbenchers the common sense group of mps led by sir john hayes has called on sirjohn hayes has called on gary lineker to apologise and that's where the row is now. kind of exploded into what it has become because after meeting with bbc hierarchy and some of the bbc bosses , gary lineker the bbc bosses, gary lineker message those friends saying he'd be he'd been asked step back, is why we've now back, which is why we've now seen boycotts come in. i'm seen these boycotts come in. i'm just reading as well that there are reports that match of the day still be scrapped day could still be scrapped tonight because apparently there might be 50 minutes of silence because the broadcaster have rights commentaries supplied rights to commentaries supplied premier league productions. now that would be quite something. 50 minutes of silence . well, 50 minutes of silence. well, that's right, because when the commentators yesterday in statement said that they were going to step and not commentate this weekend, they they kind of alluded to the fact that management could use a kind of world world service commentary if they if they chose to do . so if they if they chose to do. so and used the world feed of

commentary for their matches. but of course there's a whole here with broadcast rights and whether they'll be able to use that and also as well we've heard today from the professional footballers association who represents almost as a union football players and managers, and they've said that the premier league's informed all of the clubs they're not they don't have to do that match duties. that post—match duties with interviews with match of the day, which means that when it comes to the programme tonight and what that programme might look like, right it might look like, you're right it might just silence highlights of just be silence highlights of the with nothing so the game with nothing between so we're sure how that we're not really sure how that programme's shape programme's going to shape up and whether might not and whether the bbc might not have other choice to scrap have any other choice to scrap that as well . i don't know what that as well. i don't know what viewers home think, but viewers at home think, but i'm this a little bit this rather a little bit amusing. i must say thank you very much. scott carson there, the bbc, the guardian on news reporter so it's not just being sporting stars and fans that have expressed their views on the situation. the bbc is under pressure from all sides of the political spectrum to come up

with a solution to end this crisis. that just crisis. that jack just a highlighted there. so joining me now to discuss the political reaction is lochner, a research fellow from the great ben . our fellow from the great ben. our question of the day was the bbc right to suspend gary over this tweet ? i'm a bit split on this tweet? i'm a bit split on this actually, because on the one hand there is a free speech issue. he should be allowed to have an opinion and say he thinks. but on the other hand, he's taking vast sums of public money and job is to provide commentary on not to provide the running commentary on the government. whether thinks government. so whether he thinks that about. so i do think, you know, it's a split issue fundamentally. you know , it fundamentally. you know, it might backfire the bbc because they've gone against gary evidence. hi, i'm gary lineker and tell him that you doing this so i get the mix up i'll get you gary's mixed up i'll get my gary's mixed up i'll get my gary's makes . gary's mixed up i'll get my gary's makes. no, but then there's the double standard. we saw andrew bridgen said something very similar recently ended up having the conservative party went for a move. he got

basically flat by the media. he effectively got cancelled for saying something which wasn't too dissimilar to what gary lineker said. so i do . there's a lineker said. so i do. there's a case of free speech for me, but not for the left can get away with saying whatever they want. but the moment anyone else something it's cancelled immediately? yes. do think immediately? yes. do you think there's something bit squishy, though, about how many conservative came out conservative mps came out publicly to, well, demand or encourage the bbc to take a tough stance with gary ? yeah tough stance with gary? yeah i don't think it's the best look you know i think again it backfires in terms of public opinion i think people will see it as the government doubling down piling on gary lineker down or piling on gary lineker over what he said so i in terms of the public, a lot of people will support gary lineker, but that said he is being paid huge amounts of money, provide football commentary, not be a politician and i think he really needs to you know draw the line . yeah. and also i want to ask our viewers as well as you of course, i think it's a bit mean

of gary lineker actually to encourage someone else perhaps more junior who hasn't got the same air time as him to maybe stand in for this get some experience. it's an amazing opportunity. instead he seems to be welcoming everyone boycotting . yeah absolutely. it started out as boycott a matter of principle people stepping aside saying we're not going to do this now it's got to the point where if you do that job, if you do go and present it you're effectively going to get what yourself, you're not going to have left because have any friends left because everyone will see you as almost like scarf. cross the like a scarf. you cross the picket line. so they've gone they've out strike they've all gone out on strike and take that job. and don't want to take that job. they're it to the enemy, they're saying it to the enemy, well, that's true. you'd be hounded out, removed from the industry, if were industry, ridiculed if you were to dare you know, put to dare to say, you know, put your hand put yourself forward, put hand up for the put your hand up for the position. although i imagine there very who there are very pundits who would absolutely to do what gary lineker paid so much for something that might be quite amusing . the match of the day

amusing. the match of the day figures now . obviously, if it is figures now. obviously, if it is a 50 minutes of silence, i don't think the viewing figures will do very well . but if they do get do very well. but if they do get to have some kind commentary this evening, you know, could it be that the viewing figures don't drop much and people to question why gary lineker is paid so much to the bbc. question why gary lineker is paid so much to the bbc . yeah, i paid so much to the bbc. yeah, i think actually, given the amount of press there's been about around this , a lot of people around this, a lot of people will tune in just to see what's going on, just to see what they do about. the bidding figures may up, but at the end may even go up, but at the end of match day is of the day, match of the day is about the football. about watching the football. it's saying what happened about watching the football. it'today's saying what happened about watching the football. it'today's football'hat happened about watching the football. it'today's football it's happened about watching the football. it'today's football it's not pened in today's football it's not about commentary. it's not about the commentary. it's not about the commentary. it's not about it's about gary lineker. it's actually just about the games. and don't think he's that and i don't think he's that necessary. he's, you necessary. i think he's, you know, giving little bit too know, giving a little bit too much well, you much importance. well, there you go. people think he's go. some people think he's a fantastic other fantastic broadcaster. other people a well, not people think he's a well, not that not that special. thank you very much , benjamin lock, nine, very much, benjamin lock, nine, from the group joining us there to go, the latest on the gary lineker saga. so the bbc air limited, this is a statement the

will air limited sport programming over the weekend and is working hard to resolve the situation that's presenters and punst situation that's presenters and pundits pulled out of several shows in support of gary lineker in an earlier the bbc said the bbc has and extensive discussions with gary and his team in recent days we have said we consider his recent social media to be a breach of our guidelines . media to be a breach of our guidelines. the bbc has decided that he will back from presenting of day presenting match of the day until. we've an agreed and until. we've got an agreed and clear his of clear position on. his use of social media when comes to leading and sports leading football and sports coverage, gary is second to none. we never said that none. we have never said that gary be an opinion gary should be an opinion free zone he can't have a zone or that he can't have a view issues that matter to view on issues that matter to him. but we have said that he should well from should keep well away from taking political should keep well away from taking or political political issues or political controversies. in a controversies. now in a statement from gb news match of the day fans do not worry. the people's channel has the perfect for you . well, hey, there we go. for you. well, hey, there we go. tune into gb news tonight from 10 pm. to watch a star studded

match of the day alternate with mark dolan tonight. now moving on to stay for that, i think he'll be a right laugh anyway. week royal news the royal family's official website was updated reflect duke and updated reflect the duke and duchess sussex as children's duchess of sussex as children's new . prince, archie and new titles. prince, archie and princess lilibet, harry and meghan's youngsters a prince and princess. the accession of their grandfather , the king. six grandfather, the king. six months ago. but the sussexes publicly used lili's title for the first time on wednesday, when their daughter's christening . also yesterday, christening. also yesterday, prince edward was , named as the prince edward was, named as the new duke of edinburgh. so discuss these stories. we're joined royal broadcast joined by royal broadcast commentator heydel—mankoo . commentator rafe heydel—mankoo. so where should we start right , so where should we start right, well, let's start the most ridiculous story, of course. and naturally involves harry and meghan, because this episode actually exposes . how ridiculous actually exposes. how ridiculous and ignorant. meghan is and how her ignorance actually resulted in that raised storm that really engulfed the world and damaged the monarchy. because you may remember that infamous interview she gave oprah winfrey in 2021. and at that time was incredulous

that her son archie was not automatically a prince like prince william's . and she prince william's. and she alleged at that she gave the impression that this was due to her son being mixed race, which was an outrageous calumny against the royal family because . as we now know, far from being a racist snub, the palace was simply following strict protocol and anybody with a smartphone and anybody with a smartphone and 10 minutes can go on google and 10 minutes can go on google and they could have found that out for themselves very as to why meghan had to at this point of race is beyond because it is well established since 1917 king george the fifth laid down that all the crap in the mail line grandchildren , the monarch, the grandchildren, the monarch, the prince of princesses and in terms of great grandchildren . terms of great grandchildren. and in 2021, archie was a great grandchild , only the at the grandchild, only the at the eldest son, the prince of wales is children come prince and princesses. it was only with the queen's death and king charles accession that archie and lilibet became eligible for these titles. and this is simply

protocol playing out. so whether it's deliberately or through complete stupidity , meghan complete stupidity, meghan painted entirely fictional around race, and i think that's quite despicable. and yet we found no apology from the sussexes again for allowing the royal family's application to be besmirched. i don't think there will be an apology. raif from from what we've seen anyway. now, some people have said this is fantastic. this is a sign of reconciliation and it's a sign of meghan and harry being wanting some kind of reconciliation . essentially, i'm reconciliation. essentially, i'm little bit more cynical, a little bit more cynical, a little more suspicious that essentially they just want the titles because it's beneficial to them . they have essentially to them. they have essentially been not so nice to the royal family for a long time. been not so nice to the royal family for a long time . and this family for a long time. and this is a bit of a. how dare you emily? honestly, how can you be so cynical yet? absolutely. look for a couple who is, you know, seemingly so opposed to hierarchy and this clause

written protocol accepts stultified being elitist royal family is very funny how much they love these royal titles and this pure hypocrisy . contrast this pure hypocrisy. contrast this pure hypocrisy. contrast this with prince edward . when this with prince edward. when his children were born, they were legally prince and princess of wales. automatically however, he didn't give them those titles they were raised with far more humble titles of lord and lady because they wanted to ensure their children are much more grounded and down to earth upbringing. so why would harry and meghan want their children in the which doesn't recognise titles actually as opposed to titles. why would they want their children to be so grandly as and princess? could as a prince and princess? could it be because they know the social and commercial cachet that. social and commercial cachet that . i social and commercial cachet that. i don't it social and commercial cachet that . i don't it seems to that. i don't know. it seems to me that they're sort of trying to become like aristocrat versions of david victoria beckham, just trying market their family and their children and sell their brand, even if it means that their children are going to up privileged going to up like privileged brats, potentially . so this brats, potentially. so this isn't sign that may be isn't a sign that they may be planning move back to britain

planning a move back to britain to take of the titles . i rather to take of the titles. i rather doubt you know, they just doubt it's you know, they just had the christening, they just had the christening, they just had for lilibet had the christening for lilibet amid scrutiny that that they're lucky sent that an invitation was extended to the king of prince william to attend and they the invitation but didn't attend and i'm rather i rather i think we all that they do the same thing when it comes to the coronation. now rafe lastly you your analysis an astute commentary a variety of topics. will you answer our question of the day , real britain, is the day, real britain, which is was right ? suspend the day, real britain, which is was right? suspend gary was the bbc right? suspend gary lineker because of his tweets ? lineker because of his tweets? yeah, i'll be i'll be a hypocrite . i didn't say that. hypocrite. i didn't say that. everyone has the right to free expression. but isn't it funny, you know, that suddenly british and sports commentators are taking stand this taking a moral stand on this issue what to those issue? what happened to those morals? no during the world cup. they're very cash they're all very to pocket cash from the tory world cup. you know , i don't want to do that. i know, i don't want to do that. i actually think lineker, actually think gary lineker, this millionaire suspense from a tv is actually greater tv show, is actually greater outrage than the deaths and

slave labour and the passive action of gays and women in qatar as utter hypocrisy . you qatar as utter hypocrisy. you know, lineker sent a few present unpleasant words about qatar . unpleasant words about qatar. but the fact is, for four years he took money from al—jazeera , he took money from al—jazeera, which is owned by qatar as $1.6 million pounds. i think he got from that. but once we him protesting about that look and i would say that they've a lot more in common with 1970s germany than our government is. he's an independent man. he's a contract allowed to have contract he's allowed to have free speech. but his twitter profile was on back of his profile was on the back of his bbc status. he wouldn't have anywhere near from a following on twitter were it not for his bbc position. when he speaks can think of the bbc. so yes, he has the right say what he wants the right to say what he wants to do. but the bbc has a right to do. but the bbc has a right to uphold its guidelines which he warned in the past he was warned in the past must not violate. another not violate. this is another against i think that against him. so i think that they were right here. even though we must protect of course the rights of free i the rights of free speech. i think that's measured think that's a very measured response always rafe response from you always rafe

heydel—mankoo harmful. costa and commentator normally commentator of course normally on issues with me actually on royal issues with me actually but they're his hot take but they're giving his hot take on gary lineker thank you very much plenty come this much indeed plenty to come this afternoon real britain after afternoon on real britain after the break, we'll be talking politics pond. but politics across the pond. but first, a look at the first, let's have a look at the weather there. greg. weather. hello there. i'm greg. you has welcome to your latest broadcast from met office. we'll see rain and hail pushing see rain and hail snow pushing northeastward the 24 northeastward through the 24 hours so, turning breezy . now hours or so, turning breezy. now there returning the atlantic there is returning the atlantic and we can see that in the bigger we can see the oranges yellows starting to creep in from the southwest, the blues being shunted away as head being shunted away as we head through later into the beginning of next week. but does it last? well, we'll see the outlook through rest . the saturday through the rest. the saturday evening. can that band of evening. we can see that band of rain parts of northern rain across parts of northern ireland into northern england, pushing way north and east with some snow across the some hail, snow across the pennines up into the mountains of scotland. metservice warnings force with snow and ice, perhaps to centimetres over the to ten centimetres over the scottish some stretches scottish. some icy stretches here but that milder starting to move in from the southwest of 5

to 7 by sunday morning . but it to 7 by sunday morning. but it is a dry picture start sunday across much of england and, wales we see some sunny spells. early rain will clear the north face scotland to allow brighter skies for a time before then thicker cloud outbreaks of rain move in here the afternoon also across northern where the rain could be heavy at times. and then later on in the day, some further coming into parts further rain coming into parts of cornwall. mild day for everyone 12, 13, 14 degrees by sunday afternoon in the best of any sunny breaks just turned wetter and windier through the evening, though on sunday, bands of weather systems move in this rain, turning heavy at times across southern parts of scotland , northern ireland to, scotland, northern ireland to, the wind starting to pick up irish sea coast could start to see gales by monday morning, but a very mild night. temperatures nine, ten, 11 celsius. so any lying snow over the hills will melt quite quickly . then it's a melt quite quickly. then it's a monday. we'll see an unsettled day. for many, the outbreaks of rain eastwards across rain pushing eastwards across and wales. some very strong

winds, gales , the coast winds, gales, the coast rain across northern ireland scotland falling over the high falling as snow over the high ground here. so some and nearby outbreaks of rain but for most it will be mild on monday before then that cold air returns to everyone by tuesday .

welcome back. this is real britain with me emily carver. so i want to take you briefly across the atlantic where republican politics is heating up the election still 605 days away. but in true americans , away. but in true americans, speculation over the runners and has already begun. former donald trump has already declared he will run for the republican nomination . also the former us nomination. also the former us ambassador , the united nations ambassador, the united nations nikki haley . she's declared her nikki haley. she's declared her intention to run . but there's intention to run. but there's one republican. the political world is watching florida republican ron desantis. could he be, the next president of the

united states? joining me now to discuss is sara elliott discuss this is sara elliott from overseas sees from republicans overseas sees uk. thank you very for joining us. sara elliott on real . so is us. sara elliott on real. so is ron desantis very much the one to watch ? absolutely certainly. to watch? absolutely certainly. he is a governor who has won re—election a purple state by 19 points. he's leading the fastest growing economically big state in the union in many great there for him as governor he also kept the country mostly during covid had no vaccine mandates passports as law. so he is riding high . when a governor is riding high. when a governor is riding high. when a governor is riding this high especially after a re—election . it's very after a re—election. it's very rare. they don't want to throw their hat in the ring. he seems a pretty exciting candidate. i mean, i've thought quite and hard whether i'd like, quite like to move to florida, actually, it seems like everything going great everything going pretty great over now i read a

over there. now i read a telegraph article by kay andrews, who you probably know she wrote yesterday for the telegraph , talking about how telegraph, talking about how people blue states, i.e. people from blue states, i.e. democrat states , are moving in democrat states, are moving in their hordes over to red states like florida, like because in terms of economics, they're booming , terms of economics, they're booming, booming . there are booming, booming. there are actually the largest net migration receiver of new people to the state, yet they're having the biggest budget surpluses. they have some the lowest taxes from throughout the country . and from throughout the country. and they also have a 50 year low crime rate . it is a very crime rate. it is a very attractive to go places the sunshine and you have great weather year round so it is the place to be and you can signs all throughout florida florida that say you can come here from the north but don't change your voting habits. we want to keep this as it is. well this is the

thing people have people tweeted me when i suggested i might move to florida. they tweeted me saying, oh, a little bit democrat are coming over here. so it won't be this for so it won't be like this for long. i guess that's probably long. so i guess that's probably some some to that. but any some some truth to that. but any about politics, we about american politics, we couldn't have one without mentioning trump much support. does he still have . oh has lots does he still have. oh has lots of support, especially amongst the grassroots. i mean he is for in iowa where ron desantis just went is the first primary caucus state in the union for a primary presidential and trump still leads decent us by seven points among iowa republicans. trump also from florida. so it's going it could very well be a very primary fight in. the state of florida among stone and voters who probably love the governor and want him to governor, but would like to see trump as

president . ron desantis is. president. ron desantis is. words that describe him from voters are statesman a new generation young leadership , generation young leadership, bold. he's a freedom fighter and they like all of that. he's also very good in a press conference and will fight with the left wing journalists, which the base also likes. so it's actually tearing at the base a bit. these two men who come from the same , two men who come from the same, but , you know, they're going to but, you know, they're going to be a lot of other presidential candidates as well. and we have nikki haley, who used to work for trump as un ambassador. she was also governor of south carolina , one of the first carolina, one of the first primaries states in presidential election . and then we also have election. and then we also have rumoured mike pompeo, who was secretary of state under trump and the vice president mike pence, who trump's number two and glenn youngkin, the governor of virginia, who the miraculous

gb news. welcome back mrs. real britain with me, emily carver. now a surprising of people in younger generations that women's rights have gone too far . generations that women's rights have gone too far. new research conducted by ipsos and, the global institute for women's leadership at king's london, found that over half of people in younger generations, that's gen . millennials believe the gen z. millennials believe the push equality is now push for equality is now negatively impacting men and

that they are being expected to do too to support pro gress. very interesting indeed. joining me to discuss this is joseph robinson, director at orthodox conservatives as well as the author and broadcaster amy nicholl. now, amy, have women's rights gone too far. okay so where to start? frankly it's nice to see that the man hasn't bothered to come in the studio. i think that says quite a bit. now, when you a lot of men feel that rights have a negative effect on them, i think what we need to push away for men and women allies in struggle. women are allies in struggle. now examples stood out to me this week, which i think clearly demonstrate that while we do have equality, we don't have it in practise or need to do is look at the fact that when we talk about gender based violence against women jess phillips did speech this week she read out the number of women killed by men. this speech lasted minutes and then just a few days before

that, kemi badenoch stood up at the committee about menopause support and said oh that's a left concern and just bashed any possibility to reform and the support that women get during menopause that added to the old evergreen inequality topics gender pay gap and disproportionate burden the child burden things like the pink tax the fact that i have to pay pink tax the fact that i have to pay more for a raise than joseph because pink i to pay more for a plain my nanny going to you know all these things and what we've seen is if we stop pushing forward for women's rights they can be taken away from us and i think we've seen that in america with with what's happened with roe versus wade, women's rights aren't concrete and not none . aren't concrete and not none. our rights are concrete. they can be retracted. oh, that's very true, joseph. are a brave man coming on with to see the two women to debate a women's

rights. but i'll let you have your view. certainly. why do you think, gen z and millennials , think, gen z and millennials, women's rights have gone too far because they're finally realising that no one ever has tried define what rights really are and where it all ends and. the problem is when you go along with a loose term as rights without seeking to define what they actually are or what they're trying to achieve, you inevitably bad actors to come in and take a good cause and not appropriate it for their own purposes. and this is what we find with . women's rights. sure find with. women's rights. sure you know, everybody in the world wants to see fair outcomes for women . i want to see equality of women. i want to see equality of opportunity . but the issue is opportunity. but the issue is that's not what it's all about. as well, about equality of outcome in. every metric, regardless of whether not to get actually helps women . and it's actually helps women. and it's not really about women , about not really about women, about trying to an easy ride for a lot of and i think that's the reality you know amy you know brought up something that i

think is a bit of a straw man if we're going to debate women's rights . i we're going to debate women's rights. i don't think so. i'm reading out number of murders committed by predominantly men, which is the case in crimes because men generally committing the vice crimes against women's rights. we're talking women that were killed because women i didn't think they were killed because they were women think they were killed because they were vulnerable. and that's the job the police to stop that. job of the police to stop that. wherever you have someone who is vulnerable, which is probably statistically woman statistically more to be a woman that be and protected, that needs to be and protected, i that's average i don't think that's the average women's but that's if women's right, but that's an if sarah was man would be sarah everard was a man would be alive today . so what? so you're alive today. so what? so you're saying that because of agenda, she's more likely to die? well, people are killed. let me. for being woman. let me that have being a woman. let me that have anything do rights because a anything to do rights because a man is rarely murdered on the of his gender. so it's his right not to be murdered. is that what i think? we as women, we clearly have a right to safety . feminism have a right to safety. feminism is about choices i should have

everyone has a right to be able to go out wearing whatever i want and be at risk of getting murdered right. well, let's come back to because joseph did make an important there the an important there about the difference equality of difference between equality of opportunity most people opportunity which most people support and then equality of outcome. because amy, i'm i'm in very much i could both sides on this one because sometimes women's rights means box ticking it means quotas for jobs it means all female shortlists . it means all female shortlists. it means all female shortlists. it means and sometimes it demonising men when they don't deserve it can you see how some might think that the whole women's movement has gone too far in asking for those things that amount to equality of outcome than opportunity? i because i think that when you position it like that, that men's rights are at odds with women's rights and vice versa, there actually not and dismantling patriarchy would benefit both and women because it negatively impacts us both.

there are negative impacts of it to men and women. i acknowledge that there are areas which men have shortcomings as the criminal justice system, the family courts. but feminism wants equalise that as well. i think it depends on which you you you talk to. but what is. i'll come back to you, joseph, but what does dismantling the patria archy mean? taking apart a system that was founded to benefit men over women and men? the underpinning control and also reinforce gender norms. they don't help anyone. so what's the most common people at risk of suicide is men in their forties . that be something to do forties. that be something to do with . the gender norm that is of with. the gender norm that is of them. well, there's a lot of pressure men, joseph. why is that? i think men, young men, particular you know, with the rise of andrew tate and what not are looking for male role and perhaps finding them in bad places because , they're not sure places because, they're not sure who they're supposed to be. now, are supposed to be a provider.

are they to be more are they supposed to be more emotionally intelligent or whatever is, i think, managed whatever it is, i think, managed to just be allowed to be men, to be perfectly on suicide rates of any is it in the male population since the sexual revolution of the 1960s, the absolute obliteration of male and female role . i think what you're role. i think what you're looking at now is what happens when people are taken out of a hostile social arrangement is that men should be allowed to fulfil their natural biological function and women should be allowed to feel their natural biological function. as you want to talk about equality of possibility in this country. i mean, we've just had longest mean, we've just had our longest reigning to be a reigning who happens to be a woman really want to woman. so if you really want to talk about patriarchy, think you better different better choose a different country. that. and country. try and do that. and because top of the creme de because the top of the creme de la creme of our elite, a very often female in this country , i often female in this country, i think really want talk think you really want to talk about, know, structures, about, you know, structures, maybe different maybe maybe links with different countries analogy that countries using the analogy that i if you're going to talk about, you know, careers, you know, let's look at bricklayer is a good example. i want to see

chses good example. i want to see crises in bricklaying i don't understand why more aren't understand why more women aren't bricklayers country and bricklayers in this country and i've this for long i've been saying this for a long time now. you know, i think that there be, you know, less female, for instance, in the baftas and perhaps more and bricklayer in communities, because that would be equality be a brilliant equality of outcome for everyone involved. well there you go. i mean, i so for example, you should have an equality across the board on construction. i would say i want equality choice. and interestingly, on the way here was actually reading about a lot of sexist tropes, plumbing and women have the to women don't have the access to plumbing and maybe some of the so might to but that's so might not want to but that's correct and we should have the to choose what we want to choose between what we want to choose between what we want to but it's not we do it but. to do but it's not we do it but. it but still the case it is. but it's still the case that there's that we there's a disproportionality between the jobs that we perhaps go towards because of gender norms . do you because of gender norms. do you think joseph will get rid of gender norms as gender is a bad idea ? joseph i gender norms as gender is a bad idea ?joseph i like i like idea? joseph i like i like gender norms to an extent. i

think it's nice that men often want to provide and they want to be gentlemanly, but they should. they want to be, they have to because of that. and i think it's that women it's nice that women are sometimes more nurturing, perhaps in of their relations, but they shouldn't feel like do ehhen but they shouldn't feel like do either. so the choice there is there is that well forgotten where now. but so where was going now. but so we're to wrap it because we're going to wrap it because i was just on a roll there because at one point we don't want gender norms because they might be bad and seem so important to the obvious. we do want gender norms because work and they good. think the is if good. i think the reality is if you against biology for you fight against biology for long end getting long enough you end up getting to where you got the to the point where you got the maths and. that's i'm maths and. that's what i'm talking about you. but also talking about with you. but also that somewhat well that amy is somewhat male. well women's rights haven't gone too far. don't the far. we currently don't have the right most thing right. the most basic thing safety also and imagine a lot of people will screaming at you right at home and saying, hang on, joseph, we need to what a woman is first before we can even comment. perhaps on whether women's rights gone women's rights have gone too far. thank very much far. but thank you very much indeed, joseph roberts and

director conservatives, indeed, joseph roberts and director as conservatives, indeed, joseph roberts and director as the conservatives, indeed, joseph roberts and director as the author;ervatives, indeed, joseph roberts and director as the author and tives, as well as the author and broadcaster amy thank you broadcaster amy nicol. thank you very a little bit very much indeed. a little bit of feisty one. there two of a feisty one. there are two very, different views. very, very different views. thank you, amy, for coming into the been the studio now. it's been another revelations from another week of revelations from telegraph's files, telegraph's the lockdown files, a new line claim that simon case warned the warned boris johnson of the terrible fraser terrible consequences of fraser nelson , a column this week in nelson, a column this week in the telegraph, warning that unless game unless britain's pandemic game is changed, could enter is changed, we could enter lockdown again in the future so do we need to change? i'll contingency plan for a possible future or is lockdown actually the right policy as some argue? joining me now to discuss this , joining me now to discuss this, angus dalgleish, a professor oncology st george's hospital medical school . now, if i medical school. now, if i remember rightly, angus, you were someone who was against lockdowns pretty much from the start . they good afternoon. start. they good afternoon. i certainly was as an oncologist, i saw from my own personal experience in clinic that if patients were able to come in to their regular attendance early,

diagnose resistant early treatment, it would be an absolute disaster. and as a virologist who did a lot of work in the hiv field in the early days, i that the coronavirus was an airborne virus that the early signs which were grossly overinterpreted were that it was just like a cold or flu and was affecting people who were elderly who could easily shielded and the virus majority of people would have good immune responses to it and didn't need lockdown and they didn't need to be bullied into all these dreadful things like the masks being shown here and the distancing and then going out. it was it was a disaster and the very interest state to see that henkel was advised heavily against it but his arrogance you battles in order to push it i myself commented on the daily mail very early on that his

theory to discuss the great barrington which is exactly saying what we should do exactly what i've just is protect the older people, let everybody else get with it. and i called him that this is the action of a petulant fool. and i was amazed that didn't moderate it, but i think i was being a bit in retrospect , is this a think i was being a bit in retrospect, is this a simple of power corrupts without doubt mean it is hancock is a typical politician . he really is only in politician. he really is only in it for his own game. he really said, this is my to make it big a obviously thought he was going to be prime minister something and i will become mr. he tried to take all credit from them for the vaccine programme. as we know and that they vaccine programme was doing it just for the people most at risk. 70 and overin the people most at risk. 70 and over in those with the nations. and then that was part of the push to roll it all out to

younger people etc. he was taking the credit for doing this. i hadn't quite accepted , i this. i hadn't quite accepted, i hadnt this. i hadn't quite accepted, i hadn't really quite realised just how many people had advised him . the people like myself and him. the people like myself and at all. sumption, i noticed was also writing about the same time nature being destroyed. so sorry to interrupt . this is it, isn't to interrupt. this is it, isn't it? because i at the time, although was angered by the policies , like many people who policies, like many people who gave the government a little bit of the benefit of doubt in terms of the benefit of doubt in terms of the benefit of doubt in terms of the amount of pressure to lockdown that was on them from the media from some of the scientific community from the pubuc scientific community from the public health. but now we find out that there were many people who were trying to get to the ears of matt hancock . he who were trying to get to the ears of matt hancock. he was who were trying to get to the ears of matt hancock . he was the ears of matt hancock. he was the one was actively pushing one who was actively pushing those away, despite fact those away, despite the fact that nothing about that he knows nothing about pubuc. that he knows nothing about public . now that he knows nothing about public. now is an absolute disgrace. and i'm afraid. the person who has to carry the ten in these situations is boris

johnson, because he appointed him one earth to appoint him health for when he has no credential for doing that. i and he was told by others, you know, that he should have lockdown and he vacillated and prevaricated. and in end he seems to have been bullied by hancock and that's a terrible week by suggest it's cost this they don't have effect of lockdown going to probably cost the country about a trillion a pounds yeah now angus angus really got we've only got time for one more question so i must say also that matt hancock isn't here to defend himself of course . but just just lastly, in course. but just just lastly, in terms of contingency plans for , terms of contingency plans for, future pandemics , do you think future pandemics, do you think well, do you agree with fraser nelson that it's looking like because of a lack of any alternative planning, but it could be that is then is used again . yes, i think this is a again. yes, i think this is a very good question. the first of

all is that we should sign away all is that we should sign away all our rights to show the world health organisation, they've themselves to be supremely incompetent in the way they deau incompetent in the way they dealt with this. how do they shut down the incompetent sums of their previous director then 7 of their previous director then ? this would never have escaped china . we had the first known china. we had the first known clinical director who was appointed really de facto by china, who did what china told him and it was an absolute disaster . a really strong w.h.o. disaster. a really strong w.h.o. have prevented this from happening . we have signed all happening. we have signed all our rights away, but if something dreadful emerges again and you'll neil ferguson. so basically a billion people dying if you don't do this lots of the other they may well do this lockdown again and i think we have to take it into our into our hands we can have a load of essentially in there and two people covering the world health organisation who are really controlled by china . bill gates controlled by china. bill gates now becomes a democracy. that

would be good . it's not like would be good. it's not like that anymore . must preserve our that anymore. must preserve our rights to decide ourselves and not leave it to other people who will decide the worst scenario. we again i'm i'm say the who. of course is also not here to defend but thank you very much indeed , angus. angus dalgleish indeed, angus. angus dalgleish professor of oncology at st georges knows a about what he's talking about. i imagine you very much indeed forjoining us this afternoon. now, lots of you have been sending in your thoughts on whether the bbc were right to remove gary lineker from match of day. camilla from match of the day. camilla said the terms and said it depends on the terms and conditions contract. if conditions of his contract. if he violated then they have he violated it, then they have the right to suspend him. that's the right to suspend him. that's the really making, the point. i was really making, actually, says he the actually, glenn says he has the right speech. we all right to free speech. we all have right to free speech. have the right to free speech. but content words used but the content and words used in speech are the in that free speech are the issue but inexplicable issue but for some inexplicable reason, some think that's reason, some people think that's okay nick has to i okay and nick has to say i thought all supported free speech. yes but the contract may get in the way of that sometimes. thank you all for sending in your views. we've now
