meaningful proposal that they make curtail the strike early and the final preparations are underway one of the biggest nights in hollywood as celebrities prepare for the 95th oscar awards for british and irish talent, hoping for a win. the banshees of inisherin has become the most oscar irish film ever , getting nine nods. ever, getting nine nods. meanwhile actor bill nighy is up for best for his role in the movie living and andrea riseborough , a best actress riseborough, a best actress nomination for her role in the movie two. lesley showbiz reporter stephanie takyi says riseborough nomination was surprising last minute. we had wild card. andrea riseborough she's british, so she is flying the flag brits. but she starred in this film called too. leslie in this film called too. leslie in which she plays , an alcoholic in which she plays, an alcoholic and no one had heard about this movie. it was literally a week before. and this is what you star power people like gwyneth paltrow, charlize theron and charlize theron and jennifer ,

conversation and for what i can make out, it's because i had protested against drag queen story time and viewers of this show will know. i said it was inappropriate for scantily dressed blokes in dresses to be gyrating and thrusting in front of children and that it was not age appropriate. i also had a drag on my show. share that drag act on my show. share that perspective because that's perspective just because that's how things around how we do things around here. however already however the already weren't happy being associated with happy with being associated with me that and fired me me after that and fired me without so much as a thanks my years of service. i let them know that i found their position highly, but they have since responded clarifying the already. does not approve of already. it does not approve of the sexualisation of young children way, we children any way, and we categorically refute any insinuation that . this is what insinuation that. this is what we stood for . insinuation that. this is what we stood for. and then insinuation that. this is what we stood for . and then there insinuation that. this is what we stood for. and then there was an issue with easter special regular gb news viewers will know we like produce beautiful easter and christmas specials to glorify jesus christ on his birthday and, on the memorial of his death and resurrection. we're about to do our easter special. we booked a stunning as

the location with a very priest and congregation , many of whom and congregation, many of whom i know. watch your show their church's choir, however, some of whom may not be even practising christians raised concerns with the priest as they took offence at some of my views. i don't know how. members of the choir complained it could been just one, but rather than them and explaining how i'm hateful, i'm not homophobic . i just adhere to not homophobic. i just adhere to the christian teachings on sex and sexuality. the priest and the ordinary buckled under the pressure and cancelled easter special a week before we were due to film . this is the power due to film. this is the power the woke mob has. all it is one emotional complaint and plans can come crumbling down if end of careers they have ruined lives. i look at what happened to kathleen stock for example and where they haven't succeeded. i jk rowling they never give up trying . i think never give up trying. i think it's high time we start standing up to the mob and saying no more. we will not capitulate . more. we will not capitulate. that means we cannot join them in their divisive tactics . this

in their divisive tactics. this week, gary lineker was suspended from presenting much of the day the bbc for breaching impartiality. the bbc for breaching impartiality . and some would say impartiality. and some would say it took it's a long time coming, but i will not celebrate it and i will not encourage further hostilities him . mr. hostilities towards him. mr. lineker has massive platform. he can and should continue to fight for what he believes in. he cannot do that. the bbc because we refuse to pay for it. but i support his right to free speech and would encourage him set up a youtube channel or use your twitter account. gary to further get his message out there. it's a i entirely disagree a message i entirely disagree for most part, but that's for the most part, but that's the purpose of free speech. if truly believe in free speech, we should prepared those should prepared to defend those who we think are wrong . in who we think are wrong. in a week of cancellations, i say shame on the royal academy of dance. shame on the royal academy of dance . shame on the woke members dance. shame on the woke members of the choir . dance. shame on the woke members of the choir. on of the choir. shame on the church for cancelling our easter special standing firm special instead of standing firm in the faith and go gary , let's in the faith and go gary, let's see what comes next from i see what comes next from you. i look forward telling you why you're wrong on so many issues,

but just force us but use your voice just force us to pay for it . to pay for it. hello and welcome . the common hello and welcome. the common sense crusade with me, the reverend calvin robinson. here's what's coming up this afternoon. the boss of the bbc, tim davie , the boss of the bbc, tim davie, he will not resign over the handung he will not resign over the handling gary lineker suspension. will debate it. we will be debating if the footballer should be reinstated. a mother has said that her daughter was left following a graphic sex lesson at a school on the of man. we ask is the government right to call for an urgent review. plus christian preacher who was convicted of pubuc preacher who was convicted of public order offence after calling a trans woman a gentleman has had the harassment conviction quashed. we'll be talking about right to free speech. and of course, you can join in any of our discussions by emailing gbp at gb news or by tweeting at gb news. desmond .

tweeting at gb news. desmond. the bbc has urged to get a grip of the impartiality row over gary lineker as its sports coverage is facing disruption for a second consecutive day. according to overnight data. match of the day which aired without presenters achieved 2.6 million viewers, almost half a million viewers, almost half a million more than the previous week . boss million more than the previous week. boss tim davie has apologised to licence fee payers but said he will not resign over the issue. so i'm asking has davie handled this well and impartiality rules all they apply fairly across the board. joining me now is the political commentator joe phillips joining me now is the political commentatorjoe phillips as well commentator joe phillips as well as benjamin mckinnon, a research fellow from the bo group . fellow from the bo group. benjamin, i'll start with you, if you don't mind. are you a free speech absolutist .7 yeah, free speech absolutist.7 yeah, i very strongly in free speech. however i also recognise as a double here. so where was gary lineker when all of other people

were being cancelled? when, for example andrew bridgen said something not entirely dissimilar to what he he made a comparison to . 1930s germany in comparison to. 1930s germany in light the recent political events . he light the recent political events. he said this is very similar to what we've seen before. now gary lineker says the exact same thing about, a slightly different issue, and comes out and they go on strike and say he's got a right to free speech. but they weren't there when it happened to andrew bridge and when had the whip bridge and when he had the whip removed the conservative removed from the conservative party so forth. so party and so on and so forth. so the real reason i'm against this gary lineker isn't because i oppose his right to free speech or even because he's being paid so much out of the public purse to do sports commentary. but the facts , there's a double facts, there's a double standard, and it's because he's a lover of the left. that's the only that defending him. joe phillips, is this a case of first they came for the social conservatives and i didn't speak out wasn't out because i wasn't conservative conservative? well, i think the problem is that the bbc have got themselves in a real over this . you know there

real over this. you know there is the elephant in the room calvin which of course who of course the chairman. richard churchill a great mate of boris appointed by government and has facilitated a meeting between bofis facilitated a meeting between boris johnson and a man who then went on to lend him or offer to lend him £800,000. richard sharp , declare this when he was being appointed, which seems like it remains he is still sitting as chairman and the former bbc , the chairman and the former bbc, the very highly respected chris patten , neil cotton, who would patten, neil cotton, who would have been in his position as chairman , would have been chairman, would have been involved in this. so you have got double standards . ben's got double standards. ben's absolutely right. you know, we've still got alan sugar who urged people to vote conservative in 2019. but boris johnson's for the leadership. you've got concern we did pick tom brady best till appearing on the without any and i think the

problem is that in a gary lineker is not a news presenter if this was hewitt which of course you know it would be ridiculous he's not he's a sports presenter and he's a very, very good presenter. what he said was in a personal capacity . nobody thinks that is capacity. nobody thinks that is the bbc's it doesn't really matter how much he earns because he could probably earn triple that at least if he was working a commercial outlet. but the real problem is that whilst we're talking about this, we're not talking about the issue at the heart of it, which the government's illegal immigration bill. now we've already heard on gb news earlier the former justice robert buckland voiced his concerns about what happens . children under the plans , the . children under the plans, the government themselves have admitted that it is possibly illegal . it admitted that it is possibly illegal. it is admitted that it is possibly illegal . it is certainly illegal. it is certainly impractical . so, you know , you impractical. so, you know, you will know as a man of the cloth, the archbishop of york stephen cotterell has joined than 350

charities, clerics , multi—faith charities, clerics, multi —faith groups charities, clerics, multi—faith groups and businesses and health professionals in condemning . so professionals in condemning. so that's what we need to get back to the subject at the heart of this. well, let's move on from gary lineker for ofcom impartiality sakes. gary lineker for ofcom impartiality sakes . jo phillips impartiality sakes. jo phillips said that gary lineker is a very good sports commentator. i cannot confirm or deny that that jo phillips, political commentator and benjamin loughnane from the boe group in, an interview with bbc news davie . success for me is getting gary back on air and together we are giving to the audiences that world sports , which world class sports, which as i say , i'm sorry we haven't been say, i'm sorry we haven't been able to deliver today. he admitted, quote, this been a tough time for the bbc . admitted, quote, this been a tough time for the bbc. in a statement yesterday, the bbc, the bbc has been extensive discussions with gary , his team, discussions with gary, his team, in recent days. we have said that we consider his social media activity to be breach of our guidelines . the bbc has our guidelines. the bbc has decided that he will step back from presenting much of the day until we've got an agreed and

clear position on his use social media. when it comes to leading off football and sports , gary is off football and sports, gary is second to none. we have never said that gary should be an opinion free zone or that he have a view on issues that matter him. but we have said that he should keep well away from taking sides on party political issues or , political political issues or, political controversies . according to the controversies. according to the daily mail , the mother of a daily mail, the mother of a pupil at an isle of man school embroiled in a sexual education scandal has complained that her daughter was left upset after allegedly being taught graphic content in a lesson. an independent review has been launched into queen elizabeth second high school after a year, seven child all year, seven children were reportedly left traumatised after having sex education. the news comes as . education. the news comes as. the prime minister confirms this week has launched a review into sex education classes. joe and ben are with me to debate this issue. the issue that i have with this, ben, is that this new rc, this relationship and sex

education curriculum that is causing all of these issues was brought under the conservatives. so are they going to launch a thorough review or is it even their interest to do so ? and their interest to do so? and it's absolutely disgraceful that . you've had a conservative party in power for about 13 years, and i see. and this sort of thing is going on. i mean, what's the point in voting a conservative party that upholds values which are patently progressive might progressive? you might make a very good for case sex and relationship education in for 11 year olds. i personally disagree with it. i think it's wrong but it's not it's certainly not a conservative position , a conservative position, a progressive you do have progressive one. and you do have to conservative to. why a conservative government has allowed this to go on for so long. i personally think that you of the think that you know one of the reasons it's is it's a political issue. it's a case of if you teach children these things when they're young, they're more to accept them because it comes from position of authority. from a position of authority. but absolutely no but there's absolutely no safeguarding as safeguarding around this as night for the children. night care for the children. i mean, these are not appropriate to discussing with children . to be discussing with children. and think it's driven and i do think it's driven entirely progressive entirely by progressive political . i tend to

political agendas. i tend to agree, ben .joe. oh, sorry. i do agree, ben. joe. oh, sorry. i do have to clarify . this is agree, ben. joe. oh, sorry. i do have to clarify. this is a uk review that rishi sunak said he's going to institute not in the isle of man, which has a separate curriculum actually but this is broader. this is happening all the uk. joe is this trojan horse? are we this a trojan horse? are we seeing the indoctrination seeing here the indoctrination of towards an lgbt of young minds towards an lgbt q ideology i think i think ideology and i think i think it's completely disingenuous rishi sunak to say he's launching a which was in response to miriam prime minister's question time on wednesday. there is already a review going and i think it's important put this into context that there's been two surveys a report from the children's commissioner for england month highlighted the violent nature of much of the that children are reported seeing at a young age. a third of children had seen the age of ten and another study by age of ten and another study by a charity called dignify the research sexual abuse spoke to 4000 children and discovered 22% of them have viewed on multiple

occasions. now children have got access to this sort of which is unfiltered , unmodified and often unfiltered, unmodified and often of a very, very violent nature . of a very, very violent nature. there are questions around sex education in schools and obviously has to be age appropriate and dealt properly. there are also questions , i there are also questions, i think, legitimate questions . the think, legitimate questions. the outsourcing of sex education, which has been one of the problems. i as far as i understand it, i mean, we're obviously not going to talk about this particular case, but it's really important that young people in a safe environment , people in a safe environment, their peers are able to discuss freely the issues that they are confronting a daily basis. they're bombarded sexual harassment , they're bombarded sexual harassment, sexual imagery, often , as i say, as a nature. often, as i say, as a nature. and it's really important access to information . i'm going to to information. i'm going to bnng to information. i'm going to bring that back in, joe, because ihear bring that back in, joe, because i hear this argument quite a lot. we're going to see over

griffin anyway, they need to be taughtin griffin anyway, they need to be taught in schools. surely ben, actually, we need to be cutting out the number of kids that are seeing young age. surely we seeing at a young age. surely we need monitoring their need to be monitoring their internet restricting internet access and restricting this first place rather this in the first place rather than teaching younger and younger. absolutely the younger. yeah, absolutely the answer having access answer to children having access to content isn't to to this sort of content isn't to contact sterilised and contact sterilised in school and try and make it okay try to justify and make it okay by it's to prevent by dressing up. it's to prevent them it in first them accessing it in the first place fundamentally is place and fundamentally that is the of the teachers, not the job not of the teachers, not of government, of of the government, but of parents. and this is why we need a stronger sense of family in this we all often this country. we all too often nowadays solution to the nowadays the solution to the decline of the family is to state or the schools or the teachers . but it's not. we need teachers. but it's not. we need to build stronger to look after their children prevent them from saying these things in the first place. thank much place. well, thank you very much , catherine. want i just , catherine. i just want i just want to make a point, just to clarify education. there is no suggest student at all that sex education in schools is legitimising is the inference of

.then legitimising is the inference of . then you have to think until the suggestion i was making . is the suggestion i was making. is that just because they're saying doesn't mean we need to teach sex education younger we need to prevent them seeing as the point i to make. you, joe i was to make. thank you, joe phillips. benjamin very phillips. i'm benjamin very much. clark of queen much. charlotte clark of queen elizabeth, the second high school said having a which school said having a video which is circulating on is currently circulating on social relating to the social media relating to the school's curriculum and its school's rc curriculum and its delivery , are concerned that delivery, are concerned that there be a of inaccuracies there could be a of inaccuracies with the information being shared. the concerns shared. given the concerns raised and in order to be open , raised and in order to be open, transparent, we requested an independent into the situation . independent into the situation. as such, i am happy to take part the independent review which is being deployed by the department of education sport and culture and would encourage community to avoid speculation this time. plenty more to come this afternoon on my common crusade. up afternoon on my common crusade. up next, according to a study, the majority of generation z and millennials believe rights have gone too far . millennials believe rights have gone too far. i millennials believe rights have gone too far . i spoke with gone too far. i spoke with historian david about what he thinks about the issue . first is thinks about the issue. first is the latest wave . hello, i'm

the latest wave. hello, i'm craig snow. and here's your latest forecast from the metaverse. well, the week ahead does look like it's going to be unsettled across the uk. risk of some further sleet and snow. well especially the well especially across the northern half the country during the part of the week . but the first part of the week. but for rest of sunday, we do for the rest of sunday, we do actually across most actually have milder across most of the uk air just really of the uk cold airjust really just holding on across the very far north of country. but this milder come with lot of milder does come with a lot of rain and band rain were rain and this band rain were actually moving its way northwards as. we go through the course night accompanied course of the night accompanied by some brisk winds, especially course of the night accompanied by sonthe risk winds, especially course of the night accompanied by sonthe southern ;, especially course of the night accompanied by sonthe southern ;, espec the' across the southern half of the country, turn with this country, could turn with this here a time the night here for a time as the night goes and as that rain bumps goes on and as that rain bumps up colder air across up into the colder air across the far north, we will start to see some sleet, snow. but in the south no problems, the temperatures falling, not much than degrees in most than 10 to 11 degrees in most towns and cities. so monday , the towns and cities. so monday, the south generally going to be a blustery with some bright spells, but also outbreaks of rain. but to the north this band of rain will start to actually think twice afterwards again turning to sleet turning increasingly to sleet and and eventually

and snow across and eventually across northern ireland and northern england, too. so for this part of the world, we could see some fairly disruption as we go through course of go through the course of courtesy the snow . but to the courtesy of the snow. but to the south mild day once south of it, a mild day once again could see highs reaching 14 into . the 14 or 15 degrees into. the evening the cold air begins to sink its way a bit further southward. so risk of some sleet and across parts of wales and snow across parts of wales and snow across parts of wales and eventually into the midlands and eventually into the midlands and a cold and icy night and overall a cold and icy night to come across the northern half of country the south it of the country to the south it the rain will take little bit the rain will take a little bit longer to clear probably longer to clear so probably no real frost across real problems with frost across the south eastern parts of the country as we start but tuesday generally be a cold day for all of us plenty of bright spells actually to be had, but also the risk of some showers, risk of some wintry showers, especially across northern half of the country . then as we kind of the country. then as we kind of the country. then as we kind of towards the middle part of look towards the middle part of look towards the middle part of mulder does look of the week, mulder it does look like to turn like it's going to be turn eventually, across eventually, especially across southern but southern half the country. but will come with the risk of some further rain. join me nana akua saturday and sunday on tv news .

saturday and sunday on tv news. expect fiery debate and passionate as me and my panel tackle some of the biggest topics hitting. the headlines. it's a place for opinion no . one it's a place for opinion no. one gets cancelled, but no one gets an easy ride . oh, this is i be an easy ride. oh, this is i be ready for conversation . but a ready for conversation. but a fierce frank and of course fun every sunday afternoon from , 4 every sunday afternoon from, 4 pm. on tv news to the people's

channel welcome back to the common sense crusade . me the reverend calvin crusade. me the reverend calvin robinson on your tv online and your wireless . a surprising your wireless. a surprising number of people in younger generations believe that women's rights gone too far. new

research by ipsos and the global institute women's leadership at king's college london found that over half of in younger generations believe the for equality is now negatively impacting men. earlier i spoke to the historian and broadcaster david starkey for his views on the issue . david starkey. why do the issue. david starkey. why do think young people seem to be disillusioned with women's rights movements ? well, maybe it rights movements? well, maybe it be called experience . dare be called experience. dare i suggest particularly the chaps find themselves mocked, but actually accused of rape of sexual licence or violence of toxic masculinity and so and so on. so perhaps, you know, oddly , they could think maybe things have gone a bit too far. maybe there are problems . and you see, there are problems. and you see, i think the great problem of causing if we just lift ourselves out of that survey and do what you and i should be doing, which is go back and

asking questions, the real problem with the whole notion of female equality like of every other kind of campaign for equality is that it confronts the fact of human difference. how do you have a notion of equality and somehow make it compatible with the that in most ordinary meanings the word equal people aren't equal. and i think this issue as were, looms particularly strongly because, of course, we're dealing a 5050 roughly setting aside trends which are going to have to talk about a 5050 split within humanity . i think, again it's humanity. i think, again it's very interesting that generationally different and that my generation the baby boomer and whatever that saw the initial of the process are on the whole still pretty relaxed about it. once you're actually

the full toxic and particularly the full toxic and particularly the intrusion of law into every aspect of intimate relationships i mean this is this is the other . so let's just go back and look at look at how you try and deal with this question of equality and i mean, first of all, i think you and i would be perfectly happy with acknowledging two very different perspectives , the fundament perspectives, the fundament differences between men and women that they are enormous. they are biologically enormous. they are biologically enormous. they i think , are they i think, are temperamentally enormous we have different functions when comes to the most fundamental business of reproduction. now early feminism, if you go back to the 18th, the 19th and the early 20th century, early feminism was essentially about saying much of it was there really wasn't very much difference. this whole

nofion much difference. this whole notion as it develops that differences are socially that really okay, yes, men and women's bodies are different, but really they're minds, their attitudes are fundamentally the same. in other words you lie . mm same. in other words you lie. mm hmm. well, this is it? as a christian i would say that men and women are equal in dignity and women are equal in dignity and in worth, but very very different in our roles, in society, in family and community. and that's important to recognise, as you stated. but feminist movement seems to want equality to mean that the same . equality to mean that the same. so is there, is there a critique on equality under the feminist movement , on equality under the feminist movement, you say? well what i was trying to say, i was trying to reinforce what you said, because it's important that in a sense, one looks at the biblical text . i mean, the poor writing text. i mean, the poor writing texts on are totally specific about the idea. what i think called men and women being complete men to each other , complete men to each other, complementarity rather equality. in other words , recognising that in other words, recognising that they've got different roles, but

they've got different roles, but the different roles are equally valuable was . of course, what valuable was. of course, what feminism has to do is to deny there are fundamentally different roles and in a sense to say that both have the same role with . of course, role with. of course, extraordinary problems clashing up against the fact we have to come round to the transmission because surely the trans movement had some impact on the feminist movement, whether it's combative or complimentary . combative or complimentary. where do you think where do you think comes to play? well, what i think is clear is that in the feminism has been bitten on the bottom by trans and if you actually look at how trans rights presented in terms of their affiliation and the spectrum the normal way in which you present it is to say trans rights are extension of gay rights are extension of gay rights , not a whole role of rights, not a whole role of stonewall . in this stonewall stonewall. in this stonewall lost any function and basically equality of homosexuality is generally recognised . and if you

generally recognised. and if you actually look at opinion polls , actually look at opinion polls, if you look at this opinion poll is barely contentious so stonewall have to find to do and it jumped on the trans bandwagon but of course gay rights were never to deny or look beyond biology on the country . never to deny or look beyond biology on the country. i never to deny or look beyond biology on the country . i know biology on the country. i know i was one of the pioneers. i'm so ancient . way back in the early ancient. way back in the early 19705 ancient. way back in the early 1970s and i was of the pioneers in what we were calling was a recognition of biology and a recognition of biology and a recognition biological desires . recognition biological desires. so, in fact friends it drives from feminine , which is why, of from feminine, which is why, of course people like kathryn stark have been so beautifully caught . there was a there's a wonderful essay by douglas murray looking this great. douglas very good at gloating. gloating on the way that been caught between her later her later experiences and her early opinions because her early opinions because her early opinions were complete about

this business, the gender is merely socially that as were these things are indeed dependent to biology. well of course the ultimate extremity thatis course the ultimate extremity that is the notion of trans rights in which what you say effectively is that you could perform an act of transubstantiation and this is what's going on in scotland . what's going on in scotland. they are at your neck in full force. sturgeon's the fact that all man needs to do is to say i am a woman and abracadabra hocus pocus focussed goalposts and you've suddenly become one. and i think this this highlights the absurdity of this . thank you absurdity of this. thank you very much david starkey and the full conversation be up on gb news youtube . joe phillips is news youtube. joe phillips is still with us. it's important to note that david isn't here. defend himself, but what do you make his views? well i love david dearly. we work together a long, long time ago. he is a polemic and he's very articulate

. i don't agree with a word he says. obviously and i know that we've got very, very limited time before we go to the break. and so i just say this. women up 51% of the uk popular nation. earlier this week or last week, in fact, jess phillips, a labour mp took over 5 minutes to read the names of 109 women who have been killed by men . the youngest been killed by men. the youngest was 15. the oldest was 92. there were just three male employees in the chamber to listen to that working women on 15% less and men. women take on unpaid roles , caring whether it's parenting or after elderly relatives . and or after elderly relatives. and at the moment, or after elderly relatives. and at the moment , there are 250 at the moment, there are 250 rapes or attempted rapes . yet rapes or attempted rapes. yet conviction rates are so low. fewer than one in 60 rape cases has led to a charge in england and wales and the average wait to get to court is over two

years. so i think put that in perspective because women are getting unrolled . that was joe getting unrolled. that was joe phillips. thank very much. as bethany . bethany. 3:35. here's the latest from the gb newsroom gary lineker refused to say if he still works for the bbc as he faced questions journalists this morning. the match of the day host replied , i match of the day host replied, i can't say anything. as he left his london home, however, his son tweeted that he's proud of his father and that he shouldn't need to apologise for being a good person. last night's episode of match of the day was watched by 2.6 million viewers. that's more than half a million more than the week before . and more than the week before. and despite without despite airing without presenters or pundits . the prime presenters or pundits. the prime minister is flying to the united states to discuss the orca's defence deal between the uk, us and australia. it's hoped that

hello and welcome back to the common sense crusade . me, the common sense crusade. me, the reverend calvin robinson on your tv, online and on your wireless. parliament this week voted in favour of a clause. the public order bill, which criminal loses any form of influence outside of

abortion facilities, including , abortion facilities, including, some argue, silent prayer an amendment to permit silent prayer and consensual conversations . the so—called conversations. the so—called buffer zones was by andrew lewer mp but failed to pass . some mp but failed to pass. some local authorities have already imposed similar buffer zones through public spaces protection orders or spots . we're now orders or spots. we're now joined by isabel von spruce , a joined by isabel von spruce, a pro—life volunteer who has been arrested praying outside an abortion centre allegedly in breach of a is about welcome to the show again. you've been arrested in past for silent prayer close to an abortion. we aren't going to talk about the specific cases, but viewers will be interested , hear about the be interested, hear about the religious beliefs which motivate you.so religious beliefs which motivate you. so have you chosen to you. so why have you chosen to pray an abortion clinic pray outside an abortion clinic 7 pray outside an abortion clinic ? hi calvin. yeah, this is work i've been doing about 20 years in birmingham . obviously. in birmingham. obviously. previously, i would have been health alternatives to women and there's been many, many women who've accepted that help. but

with onset of the pspo i've been going there in prayer and it's an issue that's very dear to my heart because i've got a lot of close friends who have been deeply affected by. so this is something that , as i say, i feel something that, as i say, i feel very personal about as well . very personal about as well. well, one of the top questions i see people ask whenever i post about this on social media is prayer is not proximate. it's not necessary to pray in that particular place. so why do you have to pray in that place place ? i think maybe one of the best examples i could give would be something the people have something that the people have got different pro—life beliefs or different faith beliefs would also maybe able to appreciate also maybe be able to appreciate when someone has maybe a call accident will often see flowers at the side of the road. if there was a death. sometimes even if you climb up a mountain, you might see mark. there you might see a mark. there somebody though they somebody dies even though they are longer there . space and are no longer there. space and time. will that be important to us as human beings? existence space and time being to people who maybe don't appreciate or

maybe share those views on why it's important to be at that spot. it's important to be at that spot . it's important to spot. it's important to understand that space and buffer zones don't ban people. they ban behaviour know. so if they're not people, then those people must be allowed to think what they want in that area. we can't start censoring people's thoughts and saying because those thoughts are directed god, they're no longer accepted , they're no longer accepted, which is effectively what is happening . a very good point, happening. a very good point, but pierre itself forbids engaging in an act of approval or disapproval with respect to issues related to abortion services by any means. apparently this includes, but is not to protesting prayer or counselling. now the council's say the powers are in place to stop women being harassed. how do you respond to that ? i would do you respond to that? i would say there's already laws against, intimidation or harassment, and rightly so but there was a review in 2018 conducted on behalf of the government and it was concluded that it would be

disproportionate to have buffer zones around abortion centres . zones around abortion centres. there has never been any conviction of any pro—lifers for intimidation or harassment of outside abortion centres. if this was happening, outside abortion centres. if this was happening , then this was happening, then pro—lifers would join forces to want to get rid of it because . want to get rid of it because. clearly we want to be there. we want to be approachable women. that's why we have so many women who accept and talk to us or who do accept and talk to us or accept our help . but we're in accept our help. but we're in the public with of the work the public eye with of the work we do . most of my volunteers we do. most of my volunteers like to go off on a daily basis. so there was any problems, i so if there was any problems, i think that would evidence think that would be evidence point i agree. so faith is point to. i agree. so faith is a protected characteristic as well . legislation designed to . the legislation is designed to protect women using these facilities . i wonder if you feel facilities. i wonder if you feel where is your protection as a christian. this is something i've wanted to be very clued up nowadays on discussion particularly of minority groups and i can't help but wondering pro—lifers and christians, even if they considered to be minorities. nowadays well, i was off protection and maybe just

about this off to explain that with the people that we have in birmingham my volunteers and now praying outside the which is at the end of the road bed inside to the abortion centre and yet we're constantly being told that we're constantly being told that we to move the church needs to . we to move the church needs to. i would actually say these and buffer zones actually foster intolerance of faith communities which is really concerning. you're absolutely isabel vaughan. thank you so for joining us and for explaining your your of this debate. and now to debate the topic of whether silent prayer should be allowed outside abortion centres and whether there should be buffer all. joined by buffer zones all. i'm joined by political commentator joe phillips and barrister and counsel for adf, uk faith based legal aid advocacy firm who are supporting isabel in case law and price . now we can't discuss and price. now we can't discuss any cases, but should silent prayer outside of abortion clinics inside buffer zones be allowed and accepted as part of freedom of speech ? yes quite freedom of speech? yes quite frankly, you're not surprised. i

would that what we're talking about here is a human right that individuals have to able to gather and to pray . we're also gather and to pray. we're also fascinatingly , when we talk fascinatingly, when we talk about silent prayer, we're talking about happening inside somebody's mind . you can be an somebody's mind. you can be an spo buffer zone thinking the football scores or what you're going to do on holidays . and going to do on holidays. and that's not a crime. but when you start, think about god in a manner that the authorities find objectionable , you've wandered objectionable, you've wandered into committing a crime. and seen videos already from places bournemouth and birmingham where the are asking people, the police are asking people, what thinking ? and in what are you thinking? and in the video with a gentleman called smith's corner, when he told them he was thinking, praying about his deceased, they told him to. and so it was act of prayer that triggered the criminal offence in the mind of the authorities. and they're quite clear as well and how they frame these people orders where they are deliberately targeting prayer, scripture . and even in prayer, scripture. and even in some making the sign of the

christian cross that was mentioned in bournemouth as well. so i think this is quite sinister and as isabel mentioned, it's not simply the zone itself where we're talking about a public place, but also the wider affected has on the attitudes of the authorities , attitudes of the authorities, the police take to manifestations of prayer in a pubuc manifestations of prayer in a public place . and we already see public place. and we already see that creeping intolerance the zones. well, i'll come back to that. joe, i want ask you, if that. joe, i want to ask you, if you think the balance right you think the balance is right here women's here between protecting women's access to these facilities and protecting the freedom of religion and freedom of expression, freedom thought. expression, freedom of thought. there just of the there are not just part of the human rights convention of the un, but of the echr. human rights convention of the un, but of the echr . well you've un, but of the echr. well you've already said, kelvin, that faith is a protected character , a is a protected character, a stick, and that's upheld by international law. there is absolutely no question that any woman who is content relating or going through the process of having an abortion has searched

her soul and will not have taken that decision lightly . the last that decision lightly. the last thing she needs is, people in her face. it's got nothing to do with anybody apart that apart from that woman . and one would from that woman. and one would hope that in many cases there are partners or friends or family and people to support her. you don't see people of other faiths standing outside. blood trumps of blood donor clinics stopping people from giving blood because they're opposed to transfusions . you opposed to transfusions. you don't see as stella creasy , the don't see as stella creasy, the mp said, people standing outside surgeries where people are going for a hip replacement or sexually transmitted disease , sexually transmitted disease, sti clinics . it's a form of sti clinics. it's a form of silent passive aggression . and i silent passive aggression. and i think buffer zones are actually duty. right. and i know having worked for local authorities that councillors make and take an awful of consideration about

trying to weigh up the bones. so there seems to me that the 150 metre or yards . it allows people metre or yards. it allows people to make their silent protest but as you've said you can go and say your prayers in church you can your prayers on the bus. you don't have to do it in somebody's face. i want to come back to lorcan? because here, conflating blood donations , conflating blood donations, replacements with the killing of an child. think there's an unborn child. i think there's quite difference here. quite a clear difference here. do think that i mean, joe do you think that i mean, joe said that no one else has said that that no one else has a right be anywhere near to be right to be anywhere near to be anywhere near abortion anywhere near these abortion centres? we've heard i know centres? but we've heard i know you've stories, women you've heard from stories, women that's that's not that's what i said. that's not what i said. it is. i'm saying he said to rewind if the woman's point is it's got nothing , do point is it's got nothing, do with it. what have you that decision? joe i have so much limited time, but i wouldn't argue with what he said or she said because people can rewind the point. time trying to make is that have heard from so is that we have heard from so many women who been many women who have been approached outside abortion

centres, not harassed but provided alternative options, have raising have therefore ended up raising beautiful and girls beautiful young boys and girls who thankful for. who they are so thankful for. and i'd like to and i think lorcan, i'd like to hear perspective on this hear your perspective on this comparison between blood donations replacements, comparison between blood don killing replacements, comparison between blood donkilling of replacements, comparison between blood don killing of unborn.ments, comparison between blood don killing of unborn. well,, the killing of unborn. well, i think viewers can their own think your viewers can their own conclusions about those comparisons. i, for think comparisons. i, for one, think that they're inappropriate, frankly. we're talking frankly. what we're talking about again and what parliament actually the decision to actually made the decision to criminalise consenting criminalise are consenting conversations between individuals and as you mentioned, was put down by an mp that sought ensure that. yes, that sought to ensure that. yes, people accessing facilities are allowed to do so , but that allowed to do so, but that people are being approached for conversations and sign prayer will be permitted as well and that was the correct balance and allows parliament rejected it butisabel allows parliament rejected it but isabel has told you that her work and, those of other volunteers have created situation people have situation where people have changed minds we're changed their minds. but we're now there are now seeing that there are significant of public significant chunks of public places cities, towns places within our cities, towns where consent oral conversation between members of the public in a public place if it's about a certain issue that the government and government disapprove of and activist of , activist groups disapprove of,

is offence. and is a criminal offence. and i think that that's quite a sinister development . but i sinister development. but i would the final point i would make about and obstruction and this than other this is rather than these other examples this is examples that you gave this is the that i think the conflation that i think disturbs most is that disturbs me the most is that harassment obstructs and intimidation are already crimes . and nobody is advocating for those. and even even by their own measure, pro—life activists like isabel spruce would not regard as being effective measures to try open a discussion with woman. so we're not talking about those things here. what we're talking about is criminalising conversations and silent prayer, and that's simply unnecessary . i want to simply unnecessary. i want to bnng simply unnecessary. i want to bring joe back because i don't wanna misquote, but i believe he said something about being said something about this being aggressive. you that is aggressive. do you that is passive aggressive . you think passive aggressive. you think it's okay, but do think it it's okay, but do you think it might? the legend is absolutely wrong. let me the question then. you do you think you can also, joe, do you think right against right to legislate against passive yes i do, passive behaviour? yes i do, because i think this is a case people to have protection. people need to have protection. it's very private thing. they need to able to go and seek

need to be able to go and seek the treatment and advice for the treatment and the advice for whatever reason it's got nothing to do with anybody else. and i it's it is fairly unusual case for. sure. but i think in the this the law has come in because of the harassment that women faced. and i think there is a limit that ought to be said i had a lot of but equally intimidated. i haven't seen evidence of any harassment ehhen evidence of any harassment either. seems we're either. it seems like we're protecting a religious sacrament of honest with of satanism if i'm honest with you. thank much. you. but thank you very much. joe phillips lorcan price, joe phillips and lorcan price, thank your time thank you for your time today. before we move today, let's have a look what you've to a look at what you've to say about we've been about the topics we've been discussing. richard says, i agree. free speech a must in a democratic society, but i take umbrage i'm offended umbrage and i'm offended at lineker the lineker comparing the government's of government's language to of 19305 government's language to of 1930s germany and the. you must apologise and do some research on times . well, indeed it is. on times. well, indeed it is. it's lazy as everyone always goes straight to godwin's law . goes straight to godwin's law. it's lazy argument. don't it's just a lazy argument. don't go it's not appropriate. go there. it's not appropriate. and what the women's rights have gone far in of a new

gone too far in light of a new suggesting people think suggesting young people think so karl that a law that a karl says is that a law that a man has a woman doesn't have ? man has a woman doesn't have? no. so therefore, we have equality dropped on thanks call reacting my monologue on cancel culture kath says with you all the way calvin keep speaking up for the public your and my strong christian. i've read the end of bible we win. god bless you always all's okay. thank you god . we've already won. christ god. we've already won. christ already won. the battle this is just the devil going down kicking and screaming. that's what we're seeing, christopher says.i what we're seeing, christopher says. i admire your strength, calvin. there an calvin. i believe there is an anti christian agenda at work. it's explicit at it's quite explicit at this time. we everywhere, time. we see it everywhere, don't you very much don't we? thank you very much for email. stay really do for your email. stay really do appreciate it. and keep them coming now, a christian coming in. now, a christian street who been street preacher who had been found of harassing found guilty of harassing a transgender person through messaging tendering had his conviction week. david conviction quashed week. david mcconnell from . wakefield had mcconnell from. wakefield had been given a 12 month community order and 80 hours unpaid work in september 2022. but his conviction was overturned at leeds court this week . christian

leeds court this week. christian preacher david mccollum joins me now. first of all, congratulations the common sense does win out to some some people say you should not misgender someone and that it's hateful to do so . how do you respond and do so. how do you respond and well, in my view, i didn't anybody because the person standing front of me was obviously a male. so gender and accurately incorrect . and i very accurately incorrect. and i very much that that god didn't get it wrong when . he made it to wrong when. he made it to genders male and female and i believe strongly that god about the distinction between men and women and you know, so in my view, i need to represent when i'm out there preaching and i refer to all people as my i see. so i to all men as men and all women as . preacher, i've got to

women as. preacher, i've got to ask you this, because you were attacked you were abused, you were robbed. and you were the one who was arrested for using the wrong pronoun. this the wrong pronoun. is this sorry. affairs. a sign sorry. state of affairs. a sign of times. it absolutely be. of the times. it absolutely be. it absolutely is. because in my view i've been open at preaching carve for 15 years pretty much when i soon after i got converted i've been out there preaching and pretty much very very little it was we've seen a great uptrend. and while that of not just not just members of the pubuc not just not just members of the public being you know actually even more aggressive but when the police turn up when i'm out there preaching that i find that many police officers are seem to be more to you know people within the crowd than they are of those of the christian preachers . well thank you david preachers. well thank you david mcconnell for everything you do. keep preaching. keep speaking the truth and do not them shut you up. that's just my opinion.

that david mcconnell, that was david mcconnell, christian preacher recorder hawk said we live in a time when free speech is important and vital and we live in a time people's attitude towards are very different from how they were years . all these issues need to years. all these issues need to be properly so. i make no criticism whatsoever of the crown bringing the prosecution in this case. you have been watching calvin's comments that your crusade with the your crusade with me the reverend robinson there's reverend calvin robinson there's no collect no time for the collect today i'll the of our lord i'll say the grace of our lord jesus and the love god jesus christ and the love of god and fellowship of the holy and the fellowship of the holy ghost. all a more ghost. for both all have a more common you next week. god common see you next week. god bless hello, craig snow. bless. hello, i'm craig snow. and here's your latest forecast from met office. well from the met office. well the week like going week ahead does look like going to unsettled across the uk. to be unsettled across the uk. risk of further sleet and risk of some further sleet and snow especially across the snow as especially across the northern during northern half the country during the first part of the week. but for rest of sunday, we do for the rest of sunday, we do actually milder across most actually have milder across most of uk cold really of the uk cold air, just really just holding across the very just holding on across the very far north of the country. but the that does come with a of the that does come with a lot of rain and band of rain rain and this band of rain virtually moving its way northwards the

northwards as we go through the course of the night, accompanied by winds, especially by some brisk winds, especially across the southern of the across the southern half of the could quite windy could turn quite windy here for a goes on and a time as the night goes on and as that rain bumps up into the colder across the far north, we will see some sleet and will start to see some sleet and snow. in the south, no snow. but in the south, no problems. the temperatures falling, than 10 falling, not much lower than 10 to in most . and to 11 degrees in most. and cities . so monday across the cities. so monday across the south, generally going to be a blustery day with some bright spells, also some outbreaks spells, but also some outbreaks of to north. this band of rain to the north. this band of rain to the north. this band of will start to actually think its southwards , turning its way southwards, turning increasingly to sleet and stuff across eventually across scotland and eventually across scotland and eventually across ireland and across northern ireland and northern too. so for northern england too. so for this part world, we could this part of the world, we could see further disruption as see some further disruption as we go through the course of tomorrow, courtesy the snow. but tomorrow, courtesy the snow. but to it, a mild day to the south of it, a mild day once again could see highs reaching 14 or 15 degrees into . reaching 14 or 15 degrees into. the evening cold air begins the evening the cold air begins to sink its way a bit further southward. so risk some sleet southward. so risk of some sleet and across parts wales and snow across parts of wales and snow across parts of wales and into the midlands and eventually into the midlands too. a cold and icy too. and overall a cold and icy night to come across the northern half of the country to
