that the epidemic of strikes that the epidemic of strikes that has done so much damage to the economy in the last few months finally coming an months is finally coming to an end. said i want to stop the boats. how they actually stopped the striking doctors the strike. striking doctors could meeting health could be meeting the health secretary afternoon . a day secretary this afternoon. a day after agreed a pay after health unions agreed a pay deal they'll now put to deal that they'll now put to their interesting as their members. interesting as well to see on the front pages of another left wing press this morning almost urging them to take deal and government take this deal. and government and education unions have agreed to intensive on pay and to hold intensive on pay and conditions after a series of strikes by teachers in recent months . it strikes by teachers in recent months. it comes strikes by teachers in recent months . it comes after, of months. it comes after, of course the rmt decided to suspend action as well shortly. i'm going to go over to catherine forster. she's outside the department for education, but we've got a range this today. ladies and gentlemen , and today. ladies and gentlemen, and i am quite keen to get your views as ever. gb views at make sure that you let me know whether or not think this is a real win for rishi is it a win for the unions. we're going to delve into more detail right now

with catherine who was with catherine forster, who was outside the department for education for us. catherine, good stuff. okay so we're going to come on to the house side of things and on to rail things and come on to the rail side but teachers side things. but the teachers unions to be unions there was supposed to be going on strike and they're not. this potentially a big win this is potentially a big win for government, is it? no for the government, is it? no well, it will be. i should say that parents up and down the country, many of them had to take two days off work because were off school yesterday and the day before in large parts of the day before in large parts of the country. but certainly that intent of negotiations taking place in the department for education just over my shoulder the. education secretary gillian keegan looking very smiley morning. there seems to be a new spirit of cooperation has broken out. she's previously taken really a very hard line with the teaching unions, but it does sound at the moment like all

sides are willing to talk and the hope of course is that this nhs deal that was put forward tomorrow through for ambulance workers , etc. could unlock workers, etc. could unlock progress in. many other disputes that are taking place between the government and the public sector at the moment. yes, indeed. sector at the moment. yes, indeed . and it's interesting to indeed. and it's interesting to see what essentially has possibly, from we can possibly, from what we can gather , been to of gather, been offered to some of these teachers as well. gillian keegan government keegan says the government is committed £2 billion in committed extra £2 billion in england, real time england, taking real time spending on schools to its highest history. apparently spending on schools to its higigovernmenty. apparently spending on schools to its higigovernment ,. apparently spending on schools to its higigovernment , mostarently spending on schools to its higigovernment , most teachers the government, most teachers a 3% pay rise in 2023 and 2024, which the new the union says isn't enough . most state school isn't enough. most state school teachers in england had reported a 5% rise in 2020 to the claim that teacher pay has fallen by around 23. don't they ? in real around 23. don't they? in real terms , it's 2010 and 2022, but terms, it's 2010 and 2022, but this actually i think catherine could be a great a shot in the arm for who, of course, didn't allow anything about public sector pay to be put in jeremy

hunfs sector pay to be put in jeremy hunt's budget was earlier this week today . yes that was very week today. yes that was very cunous.lt week today. yes that was very curious. it it was week today. yes that was very curious . it it was noticeable by curious. it it was noticeable by the that there was no mention money allocated to deal with paying money allocated to deal with paying public workers more . now paying public workers more. now if rishi sunak should in bringing an end to these strikes, that will of course, be hailed as a victory for him he's riding fairly relatively speaking at the moment, isn't he. and that the budget hasn't imploded on first contact. the windsor framework also seems to be going okay , but of course be going okay, but of course there's still lot of strikes in there's still lot of strikes in the offing . these strikes have the offing. these strikes have been going on for many months . been going on for many months. they've been hugely disruptive . they've been hugely disruptive. and labour's argument, as we, the labour party chairperson, analisa dodds earlier saying to the government. well, what took so long because there's been huge disruption, huge damage . huge disruption, huge damage. the meantime, if you were going

to make these offers, why did you not do this months ago? yes, indeed. you not do this months ago? yes, indeed . look has been thank you indeed. look has been thank you very, very much for delivering that department for that outside department for education. of course there is a medical element to this and we all know, of course, that the strikes have crippled our public sector for much it seems sector for pretty much it seems like now doesn't like forever now doesn't see a day after government and the day after the government and the health pay offer. health unions a new pay offer. the is this will the big question is this will the members accept it the members actually accept it and? we are witnessing a split at the minute because. various different basically different unions have basically said are that keen for said, look, we are that keen for you accept this much, but you accept this pretty much, but one union has no union as you know. and here to discuss i i'm joined now by john kasab , who is joined now by john kasab, who is the national lead officer for, the national lead officer for, the unite union. look, thank very, very much forjoining me . very, very much for joining me. now, as far as i can gather, reportedly anyway, they offer to nhs staff consists of a off payment of 2% of their salary plus . a covid recovery bonus of plus. a covid recovery bonus of 4% for the current financial year and a 5% pay increase . for year and a 5% pay increase. for 2023 to 2024. is that not a

great deal and should your members not accept it ? well, we members not accept it? well, we up to our members decide the reason we've not recommended is that they amount for 2022 is unconsolidated . it is a one off unconsolidated. it is a one off payment that will not help recruit more people into . the recruit more people into. the nhs vacancies of some 133,000 in england alone , and by its nature england alone, and by its nature that payment will only go to current and it will be a one off. i don't know the 2023 payment and that is below the current inflation figure . so current inflation figure. so that's why we've not been able to recommend . but we will let to recommend. but we will let members consult and make the final decision . do you sense final decision. do you sense that the tide is turning mean? i've got a copy of in the metro here. it's not typically pro—government. yes. to end strikes i've got the i again i think we can all is not particularly predatory nhs pay deal signals end to wave of pubuc deal signals end to wave of public sector strikes a couple of others as well doing the

rounds nurses deal at last in the mirror. everyone wants this done should you not just recommend it to your members and frankly people can back to work and the health of our nation can improve well leaving aside your assessment leanings of those papers , the reality is that papers, the reality is that there have also been considerable concerns expressed about this. i've listened to a number of findings on the radio shows where people are saying that there was simply not good enough taking into account where inflation is , how much our inflation is, how much our members have over the years and what we believe would be a fair pay what we believe would be a fair pay increase . i don't believe pay increase. i don't believe that the tide is turned . i still that the tide is turned. i still feel that the public support nhs workers getting a decent pay increase. but i set this will be for our members to decide . i for our members to decide. i think it's worth pointing out that the government said it

would not negotiate and it said that time and time again and then it was forced to negotiate. well, this mainly only through strike, but they should not lose it. you know , you've got it. you know, you've got a really nice opportunity here to allow people undergoing things like chemotherapy or . they need like chemotherapy or. they need transplants or that need an ambulance to actually get the care that they want because you can break it this is a win can't and i'm looking at this now the royal college of nursing gmb unison they apparently back all of this so are you worried that if your union comes out or you're not coming out necessarily against. we don't recommending it. it does it does make it look a little bit like you don't care for sick people in this country. no, you don't care for sick people in this country . no, absolutely in this country. no, absolutely no . members made it clear from no. members made it clear from the first day of this campaign and the strike action that this was more than about pay, that it was more than about pay, that it was about saving and nhs, that the two are inextricably linked. the harsh reality is this, that

the crisis in the nhs hasn't been caused . strike action. the been caused. strike action. the crisis in the nhs has been going on a very, very long time waiting lists. the crisis in the ambulance service , the fact that ambulance service, the fact that only 25% of shifts have a allocated number of staff them is not the fault of strikes. look, here's another point . look, here's another point. here's another point. during the strike action , we agreed strike action, we agreed emergency cover . we agreed what emergency cover. we agreed what are called derogations . but what are called derogations. but what we found is that in many cases there were actually than the minimum services by the nhs from non striking . well a lot of non striking. well a lot of people found quite hard to get their heads around because people me were saying well it doesn't not just mean that there already people in the who already people in the nhs who aren't their properly aren't doing their job properly for of money and for quite a lot of money and they're necessarily they're not necessarily the people you represent. okay people that you represent. okay that's of that's not a squishy layer of management that. a lot of people at the and at the coalface in the nhs and i can understand but seem very can understand why but seem very reluctant the lack can understand why but seem very relorganisation the lack can understand why but seem very relorganisation of the lack can understand why but seem very relorganisation of good; lack can understand why but seem very relorganisation of good ,lack can understand why but seem very relorganisation of good , the of organisation of good, the fact you can have massive fact that you can have massive action some cases , i believe

action in some cases, i believe the largest nhs strike that we've seen in decades , not ever. we've seen in decades, not ever. and for the service function basically better than it was before, implies to me that the lies within the nhs and can i just suggest as well ? from what just suggest as well? from what i can gather, this is a pay offer, okay? and it has willing to accept it and stop the strikes mean does that not slightly undermine the that everyone was out on the picket lines to save the nhs they were out to save their own bank bonuses weren't they. because there's whopping there's not a whopping big addition funding in all addition to nhs funding in all of this is that. addition to nhs funding in all of this is that . no. well look of this is that. no. well look you can't have it both ways. we've taken a reasonable position to suspend the action so that our members can make a decision. and i think the right thing to do as as the cross city nhs is concerned , view is clear. nhs is concerned, view is clear. that's to down decades of underfunding. it's down to schemes like the private finance initiative. it's down to the fact that over the last five years, £45 billion being spent

on agency fees. so that's the reason for the crisis. that's the that our members have been . the that our members have been. this is about saving nhs that's inextricably linked. yeah they've because they've got to come . well if you don't pay come. well if you don't pay people a living wage then they're not going to be work in they're not going to be work in the nhs. don't forget, think we now accept. i think everybody accepts our nhs workers are drastically underpaid when hospitals are having to provide food banks for their own staff. that's an appalling situation to be in and i think it's a credit to those who represent victims and our members who have said, okay, we will suspend the action and properly the if the and we'll properly the if the employers or the governments of we'll take it to them. can i ask how you felt on when day when it was budget day . okay now there was budget day. okay now there wasn't anything the budget about you guys okay and that must have been infuriating for you. we had according to some reports more than 100,000 people marching

westminster public sector workers saying we need we need more here. and the leader of the labour party stood up and asked questions about gary lineker and did it mention you want out of that might feel. well look i you raised an important point at the start which is about budget we think we will tell very very very very that there would be money money put up to resolve the nhs pay issue . so i feel the nhs pay issue. so i feel a bit of time but we lose . the bit of time but we lose. the question is where is that money? you feel a little bit let down by labour. we are laser focussed on winning things , paying on winning things, paying conditions for our members . conditions for our members. thank you. can i just say i really enjoy our chats and it's great to have you on the show and thank you for putting yourself forward and on. it's always talk to all. always great to talk to us all. next update national next update is national aid officer just yes, as

officer unite just 23? yes, as we were. it as though we were. so it looks as though there is going to be around to these which i think we these strikes, which i think we can all agree is a great thing, can't just pose wider can't just pose the wider question which question as well, which is i know a people really very know a lot of people really very much the fence it comes much on the fence when it comes to sunak can all look to rishi sunak we can all look at polls do if there at the polls and i do if there was a general election tomorrow it's reasonable to suggest that labour general labour will win the general election. these strikes election. but if these strikes do end and there's do come to an end and there's a resolution there, and then you look remain sceptical , look at, we remain sceptical, think people do nothing think a lot of people do nothing about going on in the about what's going on in the channel about what's going on in the channel, appears channel, but there appears to be at kind deal there at least some kind of deal there and a bill place there. and then you've orcus as you've you've got orcus as well, you've got spending, you've got the defence spending, you've got the defence spending, you've got framework. how got the windsor framework. how do the way what do you feel about the way what she's minute? is it she's doing at the minute? is it all really budget all coming up really budget didn't implode as well, which rather actually economic rather nice actually economic projections doing. okay. what do you you think you make of this do you think that actually the tide is turning in rishi favour gbviews@gbnews.uk week the gbviews@gbnews.uk this week the chancellor the lifetime chancellor scrapped the lifetime pensions which was pensions allowance which was £1,000,000. so now, holly, flyers will be able to put aside as much money as they want in their private pension without

being taxed. now, know a lot being taxed. now, i know a lot of will be shouting of people will be shouting about tv now, doesn't tv screens. now, this doesn't apply way, i am one apply to me by the way, i am one of them, you know, very unlikely . a million quid . never have a million quid in my all my pension. it does seem all right some, but the way right for some, but the way that jeremy bracketed jeremy hunt bracketed this was to more nhs doctors to help more senior nhs doctors remain in the workforce . they remain in the workforce. they don't retire when their pension pot is going to over the pot is going to tip over the 1 million but chris have million mark. but chris have argued he could have just come up with a tailor made scheme just specifically for doctors . just specifically for doctors. so why should everybody, as keir starmer saying, why should everybody be allowed to save £1 million, not just doctors? he called it a £1 billion giveaway to the richest . but does he have to the richest. but does he have a point or does labour have a massive problem with rich? let's talk to tom mcphail , who's a talk to tom mcphail, who's a pensions expert. tom thank you very much. great to have you on the show. let's start with this lifetime tax free allowance being because actually they're all we might sound unattainable to me and to a lot of people. there are a lot of people who will benefit, not just doctors ,

will benefit, not just doctors, this lifetime tax free allowance being scrapped . do you think it being scrapped. do you think it is just a giveaway to the rich by patrick? well, yes , it is by patrick? well, yes, it is mostly a giveaway to the rich i think there's some good in there. so generally think it's a good thing. but he didn't do a special carve out for doctors because then we would have had the air traffic controllers or the air traffic controllers or the head or whoever and the head teachers or whoever and say, what about us? right say, well, what about us? right it would have created a whole new, creating new, more problems. so creating a solution that says when you go scrapping lifetime allowance, which think a good thing do which i think a good thing to do is probably a good outcome a boost to the amount of annual amount you can put into pensions as well, though. and the two combined essentially means that unless you can get more than £1,000,000 in your pension pot, which relevance to you. so which is no relevance to you. so that's fantastic . if the wealthy that's fantastic. if the wealthy people no used to people who just ordinary average incomes just on ordinary average incomes won't affect them and you know, look , here's the problem. you look, here's the problem. you can have you can have simplicity or you can have fairness, right

7 or you can have fairness, right ? the government has gone for simplicity. this a simple solution against it. don't just back work. it actually simplifies the rules a bit boob job done labour hasn't . well job done labour hasn't. well that's not fair and you know both change are right depends which end of the telescope you're looking down. but then it's interesting, it? it's interesting, isn't it? because then itself because labour then gets itself into tricky of saying into quite a tricky of saying we, which they basically are saying actually we value doctors more than we value other people who can earn that amount of money. i can understand the logic that because most people who work in finance want to save lives for a living in a direct anyway, that's for sure. i do anyway, that's for sure. so i do get all gets a little bit get but it all gets a little bit messy doesn't say if you do that and or not and i wonder whether or not actually is quite a good thing in of as neat little in terms of as a neat little policy tories go. policy for the tories to go. well are preserving our quote unquote which might be wealth created would it also created some would argue it also allows us to use this thing where we can say what we're doing. bit doctors doing. our bit by the doctors you it the public you mentioned it of the public sector was well education sector that was well education you flying teachers you know high flying teachers and well. so there will and hands as well. so there will be workers.

be quite a few sector workers. why do you think it might have been the thing to do to do what labour want to do which is just it to the doctors this break because it creates complexity in the system and pensions are complicated enough already if you creating special carve you start creating special carve outs for the doctors you will other people, air traffic controllers , another group. controllers, another group. other will in and other people will come in and well, about us? give us well, what about us? give us a special exemption. and then in terms planning you've terms of planning, you've got this in the rules that this wrinkle in the rules that says, well, the nhs pension scheme different to every scheme that's different to every other scheme that makes other pension scheme that makes tax planning more complicated. so i'm kind of glad they haven't done a carbon doctors the done a carbon doctors garb. the concept one is now it looks like giveaway bond to the wealthy . giveaway bond to the wealthy. can i just add there's unfinished business here because what they've now effectively created is a vehicle it's quite good for inheritance tax planning for wealthy people they've actually created a set rules and says look, put lots of money your pension and then money in your pension and then you on to your kids you can pass it on to your kids without to pay without having to pay inheritance that's no

inheritance tax on it. that's no more pensions as to before. so i think both government and need to come back and look at where we've got to with these rules and work out where we go next because. it looks like unfinished business. i just one more quick one with you if that's alright because think that's alright because i think taxes whose work taxes for someone whose work their entire lives and save entire lives and put money away for their kids. why shouldn't they be allowed to give them as much they've paid tax all much money they've paid tax all their if they've managed their lives if they've managed to load money, they to save up a load of money, they would paying more tax would have been paying more tax most people throughout the course lives. you know course of their lives. you know shouldn't actually shouldn't a government actually go? you. go? alright, well done you. thanks to your thanks lot. i'm not down to your kids but broadly i agree with kids, but broadly i agree with you. it's about proportion though. should you be able to give all it to your kids without paying give all it to your kids without paying any tax? i money. paying any tax? i mean money. you're point. you you're dead at this point. you don't money any more. don't need the money any more. it's kids. it's a windfall for your kids. so you make a case for so maybe you can make a case for the government. you take a bit of that money. know, we can of that money. you know, we can debate or or debate whether all or none or some. worries me about what some. what worries me about what they've done the pensions they've done with the pensions is, we've got this special is, say we've got this special rule you can build

little bit of background. patrick is that in 2020, the home office made the decision to back harry's security when both and his family come to the uk. so prince harry decided to put in a judicial review of decision. now, this pre—trial libel hearing is about the coverage that judicial process. no simply an article in the daily mail both the paper and the website in february last yeah the website in february last year. and i'll read you the headune year. and i'll read you the headline because it kind of encapsulates the whole article, how prince tried to keep his legal fight with the government over police bodyguards, a secret . and then he goes on to say, then minutes after then just minutes after the story broke , his pr machine story broke, his pr machine tried a positive spin on tried to put a positive spin on the dispute. now harry, very unhappy with that article . he unhappy with that article. he felt it was defamatory . there felt it was defamatory. there was a pre—trial hearing last, summer, and a judge ruled the was defamatory . and it gave was defamatory. and it gave readers the impression that prince harry was intentionally trying to mislead and confuse. however the judge rejected the

claim by prince harry. the article accused prince harry of lying. now these two side is both associated newspapers have owned the daily mail and prince harry. they had until january the 20th to try and sort it out between themselves, it going to trial. they couldn't it's gone to pre—trial hearing to another pre—trial hearing today where heard prince today where we've heard prince harry's lawyer, justin rush, brooke, who's essentially told the judge he wants to dismiss associated newspapers, defence strike it out completely, in which prince harry wins. or a summary judgement in prince harry's favour in either case. that would mean there is no need for a trial associated newspapers. their legal team have been laying out their defence. and essentially there are two defences a it was an honestly opinion they're saying and b there's no to prince harry anyway , the mail on sunday a anyway, the mail on sunday a court twisted information they received and so cannot use the defence of honest opinion. according to prince harry's lawyer, justin rush. but but

associated newspapers legal team have said that the article in question was not materially misleading . now we're still misleading. now we're still waiting for some of judgement here. it could go to trial. it may not go to trial. it depends what? the judge says he could make a decision today or he could go away and think could then go away and think it and issue judgement in due course. but it's one of a number of cases are being brought of libel cases are being brought by harry. there's another by prince harry. there's another one against associated newspapers and, the mirror group, which owns the daily mirror news group mirror and against news group newspapers who own the sun and used own now defunct news of used to own now defunct news of the world. all of those regard obtaining information obtaining private information illegally, phone . illegally, most notably phone. so prince harry will be not himself , so prince harry will be not himself, although we are expecting him possibly appear at the end of this month . court but the end of this month. court but prince harry and certainly legal team are going to spend a lot of in this court having battle with various parts of the british print press. yes, indeed. well, it's kind of time eventually it will be. anyway, paul, thank you very much for that . outside the

okay. welcome back, everybody . okay. welcome back, everybody. now, we brought you some big breaking news early on vladimir putin, has received putin, essentially has received an arrest warrant from the international criminal . i

international criminal. i believe we've got a clip to play for you of what was said at the icc today . 17th of march 2003. icc today. 17th of march 2003. the international criminal court has issued two warrant of arrest in the ukraine situation for vladimir putin. president of the russian federation and for myself available commissioner of the russian presidents from challenge . that's right for the challenge. that's right for the alleged war crimes of deportation of from ukraine occupied territories into the federation . it is forbidden by federation. it is forbidden by international for occupying powers to transfer civilians the territory they live in to other territories , children and territories, children and special protection under the geneva convention . the contents geneva convention. the contents of the warrants secret in order to protect the victims . the icc to protect the victims. the icc attaches great importance to the protection of victims, especially children. nevertheless the judges of the

chamber dealing with this case decided to make the existence of the warrants public in the interests justice and to prevent the commission of future crimes . this is an moment in the process of before the icc, the judges have reviewed the and evidence submitted by the prosecutor and determined that there are credible allegations against these for the alleged crimes. the icc is doing its part of work as a court of law. the judges issued arrest warrants there . execution warrants there. execution depends on international cooperation . yes okay. all cooperation. yes okay. all right. so that was the words that from who's the icc president judge in relation to that breaking news, which we will get more detail on as to

exactly what this really means for putin forward about the icc issuing an international arrest warrant . vladimir putin in warrant. vladimir putin in relation to actions taken the war in ukraine so that we. i was going to move on now though and talk about an issue that. well actually has got a lot of you and i can understand why because has been criticised for issuing an inclusive language telling staff to avoid words like mother and father. so there's 92 page document also that english is the language of a colonising nafion the language of a colonising nation oxford m.a. what ? what on nation oxford m.a. what? what on earth will they do about portuguese, spanish and french and dutch? arabic anyway, oxfam has posted a video on twitter that says the charity is for you, me him, her. they then when we include everyone , we can we include everyone, we can overcome poverty . yes, indeed. overcome poverty. yes, indeed. well, if listening on radio, i can tell you that the video us all the colours of the rainbow behind as well, naturally, would

of course be very well it didn't. and he's even got some colours though, in the rainbow just oh just for good measure. oh i'm saying he's just a just for good measure. oh i'm saying he'sjust a guideline saying is he's just a guideline andifs saying is he's just a guideline and it's not intended as a prescriptive as you prescriptive document as you might expect. it has been widely mocked. the front page of today's daily says it's beyond parody. but what does the great british public think about it? i went earlier to out mother . went out earlier to out mother. father offensive. no well, why . father offensive. no well, why. not because they define particular roles and the sex based know why not? because none . i mean , you just have . i mean, you just have exasperated by all of this rubbish . i it doesn't offend me. rubbish. i it doesn't offend me. no, it's just a bit crazy really, isn't it? it's not broken. don't fix it. they also want to do of using women, plural. they want it to be with an instead of the . a okay. so an instead of the. a okay. so when mix we're mix is that to

pronounce, not just try get wimax , send . no no, no. for, you wimax, send. no no, no. for, you know . good. yes. laughable it. know. good. yes. laughable it. so that's what the public have got to say. god. for more on, i'm joined now by emma webb, who is director of the common sense society animal and who is an activist and organiser of black matter protests. so look , okay, matter protests. so look, okay, well, let's deal with first things first and i'll throw it over to you. i mean overall here what they're saying is that they think that english the language of a colonising nation. presumably they just want to cancel language from what the spanish the portuguese gays, the french, the dutch and, various different arab nations as well do . they see who actually can do. they see who actually can actually agree with you. and it's not interesting that some start with you contrasting statements conversation regarding me i'm actually in shock but we won't repeat

hopefully. so for me personally , we know english is the language of a common izing or part of the language as we know the reason why is because there are many other which include as said, france, spain, germany, portugal , italy that colonised portugal, italy that colonised africa . if we have a problem africa. if we have a problem with england and english language as language, then we have have a problem with the portuguese actually are back in 1500s and we have have a problem with italy, etc. so i agree with you all that that , that we're you all that that, that we're off to an absolute flyer here. although amara mean i could see you shaking your head slightly just even the notion that engushis just even the notion that english is the language of a colonising society . see what was colonising society. see what was going on that for you ? well, i'm going on that for you? well, i'm finding not to laugh, just finding it not to laugh, just looking at the specific books of what this guide is actually , the what this guide is actually, the ceo today said that he ceo earlier today said that he wants to the in order to solve poverty , have to be you have to

poverty, have to be you have to bnng poverty, have to be you have to bring people with you. and it seems that the only people this is actually inclusive of are you know well, certainly not the donors and not the beneficiaries. one of the things that they suggest is i'm not using the acronym bame or bme black and ethnic might or minority ethnic , but am and minority ethnic, but am and instead choose people of colour . and the reason they suggest thatis . and the reason they suggest that is because they said that black ethnic minority is it others and it it basically makes it out that white the is normal but actually surely of colour also lumps people together in the same way. one of the things that they suggested is not using the term sanitary products as we know that you issues to do with what's referred to as period poverty in. africa is a really serious issue . the idea that serious issue. the idea that this is not to do with with hygiene in any way that to say so would be offensive surely to

the detriment of the beneficiaries. so actually, i just think that this is imposing a very form of language. i mean they refer to things like coloniality that is just if this is imposed in a form of language on, all of the people who work for oxfam world wide, i don't see that this is you know, he's doing to actually be inclusive i think they've spent a lot of money on this and those donations could have been used to actually help people. well. well, this is a cracking point. i've it and throw it. but i've seen it and throw it. but you can't just. can i focus a little bit now on the old mother father stuff because the family, they replace that with they want to replace that with parents and women. i believe going axe instead going to be with an axe instead of i don't even know if of the. so i don't even know if you that. just you will pronounce that. just get some fat members the get some fat members of the pubuc get some fat members of the public us a red hot public to give us a red hot crack earlier on with limited success. that be said. but success. that must be said. but the turning against the idea of turning against mother like those are mother and father like those are offensive is it offensive offensive terms is it offensive 7 offensive terms is it offensive ? well if you wouldn't mind. let me just touch on something that emma pointed out in terms of the

term bame was actually recommendation nine in the rice ethnic disparities commission launched in 2021. it one of the recommendations say it was a recommendations say it was a recommendation to the uk was to scrap the time ban because it basically puts black and brown people into emergency . i also people into emergency. i also agree with you and some of in terms of the term people of colour, but this is why we have to be accurate about these times because some walks around the world and minorities world and ethnic minorities isn't accurate. we are actually disparity. hence why westminster has actually adopted that term . has actually adopted that term. so bame is an accurate global majority would actually be far more accurate. so let me just point that out. in terms of sanitary other two sanitary and the other two points you made later on, i points that you made later on, i actually agree with now to go back to mother . father. yes. back to mother. father. yes. unfortunate i agree with you. so in terms an inclusive mindset, we have to inclusive. we have to be inclusive. and i don't don't do that project in terms of the mindset we have to focus . on the fact that oxfam focus. on the fact that oxfam walks around the world. so when we remove term mother and father again on a symbolic issue. sorry

we've got to say what you all say. we all said what? like mike ashley. which is it? almost like it's almost would it's almost like they would allow to us agree, isn't they, on national television. well i'll bossy. i'll go back to bossy. i'll go back you, emma. throw back to you, emma. i'll throw you when i look at you away because when i look at some kind lack of some of the kind work or lack of that did in, for example, that oxfam did in, for example, i am amazed that they've decided now think that it's the best now to think that it's the best thing everybody . say that, thing for everybody. say that, you mother and, father is you know, mother and, father is bad or that they're to out bad or that they're going to out a or whatever is a few acronyms or whatever it is to the lgbtq. plus, i, etc. should they just focus what they're supposed to be doing, which is actually looking after the world's most poverty stricken and vulnerable, which i've got to be honest with you, it not appear that it does not appear me that they've been doing recent they've been doing in recent years i think years that much. yeah. i think a lot of donors following previous previous . okay now we've got previous. okay now we've got sound issues we both which is rather unfortunate because it's what's shaping to be a fantastic discussion but them's the breaks, there breaks, unfortunately so there we about we go. look, sorry about this. hopefully is beavering hopefully someone is beavering away to this away behind scenes to get this fixed. there go. right.

fixed. but there we go. right. that webb. i was the that was webb. i was the director sense director of the common sense animated. , an activist animated. it was, an activist and the lives and organiser of the black lives matter be matter protest. we will be returning that discussion returning to that discussion a little bit later on. an oxfam spokesperson said we spokesperson has said this. we are of inclusive are proud of using inclusive language. succeed in language. we won't succeed in tackling poverty by misleading, marginalised this is not marginalised. this guide is not prescriptive is intended to help all communicate a diverse all this communicate a diverse range with we work we range of people with we work we are disappointed . some people are disappointed. some people have decided to misrepresent the offered the guide, which offered in the guide, which clearly the authors should respect of those respect the desires of those want to be described as mother or we go right now or father that we go right now moving another this moving another big story this should murderers able to marry people prison simple in my people in prison simple in my view. no. well, leave on battlefield is currently serving two life sentences for the two whole life sentences for the murders of two women and 13 year old milly dowler seems to think that you should . he reportedly that you should. he reportedly made a bid for legal aid, so he wants the taxpayer to pay so that can get married to that he can get married to a woman. but let's get details on this from a psychologist and true tv presenter, emma kenney. emma i'm keen to get the

rationale as to why any woman alive would want to marry this guy - alive would want to marry this guy . well, it's either a sexual guy. well, it's either a sexual there is a particular paraphilia where somebody wants to be romantically with an individual who's done horrendous things like kill children. but the other of it is, i guess, women , other of it is, i guess, women, deep insecurities who potentially had awful relationships in the past. potentially had awful relationships in the past . they relationships in the past. they like the idea of some debased slightly being infamous but also locked up so that they can't essentially stray that could be another reason personally , i another reason personally, i think one of the things that rob has said actually ironically makes sense , because i don't makes sense, because i don't always agree with their positions in the government, but he's saying maybe we need to also think about the safeguarding this individual. he thinks it's a good idea , place thinks it's a good idea, place her life. so to speak for the rest of her life. imagine your money with this heinous murder. so i think that the psychology of the woman is one that states we need to protect her because she's clearly not thinking in a very linear or logical way. i

mean, this guy's never going to get out prison. in terms get out of prison. so in terms of actual physical damage he of the actual physical damage he could to, know, maybe could do to, you know, maybe this particularly this is not a particularly uncommon i've always this is not a particularly uncormystified i've always this is not a particularly uncormystified by i've always this is not a particularly uncormystified by this.

joined by ukrainian mp andre assad . thank you very much, assad. thank you very much, andre. great to have you on the show. what does all this show. what does all of this really mean? because it appears to from i can so far to from what i can so far anyway, this is about the transportation ukrainian transportation of ukrainian citizens, many of whom are children into russia. is that correct correct ? yes, that's correct correct? yes, that's correct correct? yes, that's correct . first of all, it means correct. first of all, it means that we are on the right path dunng that we are on the right path during all year, we were repeating here from kyiv that main target of ukraine and our allies on the west, not just to defeat russians , ukrainian soil defeat russians, ukrainian soil and, to liberate ukrainian territory . but the biggest territory. but the biggest target not to let it happen again, this nightmare in europe. and the only way to do that is to punish anyone who committed war crimes in ukraine. due to that, we did huge job with our allies , the international allies, the international criminal court , with other criminal court, with other

institutions to start and to conduct all this procedure which may bring us to justice. was speaking to the international criminal last november. yeah, i was in the hague in november and we spend a lot of time discussing different options and of the main of international criminal court was about ukrainian children as a form of genocide which in fact never happened before . the practise of happened before. the practise of international criminal court. but it was definitely a case for ukraine though, meaning that last year the international criminal court together ukrainian general prosecutor's office was studying this issue and today it is a confirmed that they've got enough proves that this type crime had been to happen. this type crime had been to happen . andre, can i get you to happen. andre, can i get you to clarify something for me that so from what i'm reading , from what i'm reading, reasonable grounds believe that each suspect this is putin and his children's rights

commissioner , which i'm commissioner, which i'm presuming is an ironic title it says they had reasonable to believe that each suspect basrah for the war crime of unlawful deport agent of population and thus of unlawful transfer of population from occupied areas of ukraine to the russian federation in prejudice of children . and you mentioned the children. and you mentioned the word genocide . i believe that. word genocide. i believe that. did you just link those two things for me? do you think that what they're exterminating people or what's going . on i was people or what's going. on i was heard from international criminal court before that. they interpret that intent and location or kidnapping of ukrainian children's as well prepared strategy of russian to change the national landscape on ukrainian territory. in fact by doing this they to replace

nafive doing this they to replace native ukrainian population with russian population. what the way they was doing for the last more than 100 years but it was never done before on such a absolutely inhuman and brutal format as mapping in fact, of ukraine in kyiv in thousand. we know about thousands of cases of ukrainian youth falsely deported ukraine to the territory of russian federation. just few cases we were able to investigate and to bnng were able to investigate and to bring kids back home. so meaning that it bring kids back home. so meaning thatitis bring kids back home. so meaning that it is mass activity of russian and again now is not my theory, it's not it's my dreams. it's a conclusion of international criminal court which found enough proof to issue the arrest warrant for. vladimir putin in another. exactly. and some more detail . exactly. and some more detail. i'm just guessing right now . i'm just guessing right now. well, is that the russian leadership has been, i'm quoting it completely, overt about

taking ukrainian children to russia , placing them in camps or russia, placing them in camps or putting them up for adoption by russian families. so what you're talking about there is the replacement, a ukrainian population with a russian population with a russian population and are moving them to russia in order to do so . and to russia in order to do so. and look, putin has said that this is meaningless. i'm to hear shortly from an in this kind of thing. but with absolute respect , is this quite meaningless because ? no one's going to go because? no one's going to go and arrest putin. they do . just and arrest putin. they do. just this is a long, difficult way. and it is not some routine pubuc and it is not some routine public organisation which that this announcement today we're talking about international criminal court. we know that for the last month we have consensus among major leaders and european union leaders that shall be

brought accountability through tribunal it will happen. so as said from the very beginning of our interview , that is that only our interview, that is that only we are on the right path . we are on the right path. definitely it will take months and probably years, but believe me, the history of international justice is saying that usually takes a long to bring people like putin to accountability, but he's not the first and he is not the last. so we had a lot of good examples during last 20 or 30 years when dictators were brought to accountability . so brought to accountability. so that's why i don't have any doubt that putin or little major will be sitting in prison. okay, andre, thank you very much. really appreciate you coming on the show and explaining what you know this situation and know about this situation and what could happen going forward as development as mp as significant development as mp andre assad took that, now he is reacting to what you can see on the screen, which is the breaking news putin arrest warrant. the international warrant. so the international criminal court has basically said want arrest putin and said we want to arrest putin and thatis said we want to arrest putin and that is based around war crimes

which centre around removing children , ukrainian children children, ukrainian children from , ukraine so russian from, ukraine so russian occupied and taking them to russia either putting them in camps or up for adoption by russian families. and clearly the implication is that that is with a view of replacing the ukrainian population with russians or certainly we can all gather what probably will be the knock on effect, that organic decides at this time of day on national television. but with me now general chip now is major general chip chapman is former head of counter—terrorism the counter—terrorism at the ministry has ministry of defence who has spoken in the past . spoken at the icc in the past. now just pick up now i'm going to just pick up with where i left off with with you where i left off with andre mp if that's andre the ukrainian mp if that's all and just what all right and just ask what meaning it meaning this have. you know it is a strong statement but actually vladimir putin is not going to see justice this is he who's going to arrest it. going to see justice this is he who's going to arrest it . well who's going to arrest it. well he won't be arrested in the short term in the same way that, for example, the arrest are in the uk for petrov and boshirov for the skripal killing . but it

for the skripal killing. but it shows they are intent and that's the first thing to say. and the reasonable grounds means that this something for the future that now in terms of what genocide means if they're going to play that line that first came into the english in 1944 and is the intent to destroy and hold part a racial ethnic or religious group. so in terms of taking the people way and doing that potentially mass it could meet that remit . now the real meet that remit. now the real key thing is, of course, the icc have any jurisdiction in russia andifs have any jurisdiction in russia and it's not signed up to that. but icc does make a request for surrender and arrest. so it may, for example caveat putin joining in the short term, but in the longer term war is ready to pass. he's both in physical power and a psychological part and it puts a of doubt in the russian elite and maybe the russian elite and maybe the russian people and russian military that people are going to come after us. and therefore, this of fear, of followership sort of come into play here. and

that may start to erode russian regime. so it does have significance from that part of view because we know that the russians have been of moral injury, particularly buka and ercan, for example . yeah, and ercan, for example. yeah, and that's a really good point . that's a really good point. there is another that this icc ruling to and it's maria alexy over leave over battle over who is apparently the children's rights commissioner in russia. so there we go. and i wonder whether or not the wider connotations here would be as you were to any one who is in putin's government, who along with what putin is doing in ukraine, could find themselves on the wrong side of an international warrant and facing what one would imagine would be a hell of a long time, if not life in prison for war crimes. if this is true, the genocide against kids which is a pretty strong deterrent, one would have thought . yeah. and one of the thought. yeah. and one of the things about this, again, is, you to find a vulnerable flank ,

you to find a vulnerable flank, exploit it. and that's really they've done now. it's not aim at the moment of the of the west to have regime change in russia . but if the regime were to change then putin could conceivably given up. and that's why you get this the armour of the russians to do this . and the russians to do this. and exactly the same reason for that. milanovic and milosevic and the yugoslavia were actually given by after in the war, the war crimes commission and actually put in prison. but and just hear me out on this now does this actually potentially make things a little bit more dangerous just purely because , dangerous just purely because, putin would now know that even if he had any intention of giving up, i don't think he really did. but if he did have any intention of giving up or not remaining in office until day, dies, that if he does day, he dies, that if he does step aside, the person who comes after him could , you know, offer after him could, you know, offer him up as some of sacrificial lamb it were. and then he finds himself spending the rest of his

days in a prison somewhere near the hague . i mean, is there any the hague. i mean, is there any chance that this could be spun as making the situation more volatile or dangerous ? i don't volatile or dangerous? i don't think so . i volatile or dangerous? i don't think so. i think it is that in the armour , the great man theory the armour, the great man theory of international is very rarely proven . putin won't be there proven. putin won't be there forever . leaders do proven. putin won't be there forever. leaders do change that. now, that doesn't . he might be now, that doesn't. he might be there to his because he still at there to his because he still at the moment going to be in power until 2036. and that's his day elected next year when there is supposed to be a russian election. but think it makes it worse. i do think puts that sort of what's going to happen to us in the future. so from that perspective , it is morally right perspective, it is morally right and. it may be a clever move, but the icc doesn't work on clever moves. it it operates on justice. and what is morally and ethically so conceivably if vladimir putin ever left russia or possibly later to friendly nafions or possibly later to friendly nations that spring to mind nonh nations that spring to mind north korea may be another one

if he ever left any of those countries and went anywhere else , could officers arrest him? or how would it how would practically work, let's say if putin decided this war ended tomorrow and putin decided to go and visit macron in france, would anything happen to it? well, technically it could, but i don't think he's going to visit france tomorrow so he can put that so that aside at the moment, he'd only visit those places where the jurisdiction of the icc doesn't apply. so that's how would play it. i think . how would play it. i think. okay, alright, look, thank you very, very much . major general very, very much. major general chip chapman is former head of at defence . also at the ministry of defence. also spoke at the icc in the past . spoke at the icc in the past. we're going move away from we're going to move away from this to just you, this story now, but to just you, what is, we'll be what it is, because we'll be returning to is that arrest warrant international arrest warrant international arrest warrant vladimir and warrant for vladimir putin and indeed children's rights indeed his children's rights commissioner over , the unlawful commissioner over, the unlawful deportation of children. we heard from a ukrainian mp earlier that who said that this is tantamount to genocide. so the replacement of an ethnic

group, i demography that and trying to replace them with ethnic russians, as it were . and ethnic russians, as it were. and yeah. so there we go. that's the latest on the start of putin's arrest and we'll bring you more as we get it. that lies more throughout this show. but two fresh hope that the epidemic of strike action back here at home has damage to the has done so much damage to the economy in the last few months. finally coming to an end. governments and education unions have agreed to hold intensive talks . the issues which have talks. the issues which have sparked a series of strikes by teachers in months. we've also potentially seeing an end in sight to nhs strikes, to rail strikes . i sight to nhs strikes, to rail strikes. i mean, could this really be thing ? we dream of a really be thing? we dream of a day of strike action. it's has been. day of strike action. it's has been . trains running on time . been. trains running on time. doctors going to work. and teachers actually your kids. for the very latest on this, i'm joined by our political reporter catherine forster been catherine forster who's been across for all across this story for us all day. you have currently parks yourself outside. the department for education. so what was going . is this an end now to strike

action that has been plaguing the ? not an end , but the nation? not an end, but possibly the of the end . let's possibly the of the end. let's face it, we'd all be very grateful for in the last half hour or so, the education secretary, gillian keegan , has secretary, gillian keegan, has emerged from the department of education behind me, where she has been engaged along with the education unions today in intensive negotiations. now are due to continue over the weekend when or if they will bear fruit to be seen. but there really has been a change of tone. it's not very long since education unions were being really heavily critical of the government. and gillian keegan herself was saying that she thought basically teachers were paid pretty well, considering especially taking pensions into account. so the mood music has certainly and of course the deal is finally on the table now between the nhs and unions and

the government does potentially give us a sort of template going forward. of course that deal has yet to be accepted, but it does sound hopeful and the junior doctors strike, which of course had three days of disruption this week the british medical association now asked to have urgent talks with the health secretary so talks there should be imminently as though not as was possibly mooted today. so things are moving but of course just today we've had announced that a thousand passport workers will go on strike between and may. so no in sight but certainly hopefully the beginning of the end. good stuff catherine. thank very much. catherine. thank very much. catherine forster, our political reporter outside the department for education. well, this is a story that we're going with today because it's the end in sight of strikes . sight for all of these strikes. think bit like you was

think a bit like you was absolutely sitting absolutely and tired of sitting in this every single day in this seat every single day just rattling off a list of who wasn't work particular wasn't in work that particular day, maybe , just maybe, we day, but maybe, just maybe, we might to talk about might be able to talk about something coming weeks. something in the coming weeks. but i am joined but for now, i am joined by roger who a professor of roger cfa, who is a professor of industrial wolverhampton university. great to have you on the well, this looks, the show. well, this looks, like the show. well, this looks, like the turning the front the tide is turning the front pages a lot of papers pages of a lot of these papers today are, think it's fair to today are, i think it's fair to say, maybe traditionally. well, not leaning will phrase it not right leaning will phrase it like you know, you've got like that. you know, you've got the here you've got the metros say, end the strikes say, yes, end the strikes and just and just pay signals. and it's a wave public sector strikes. is that true ? i mean, this really that true? i mean, this really could be the unions are almost being urged now to take a deal is on the table on the well as you say what's happened is government has moved its original position and put more money on the table. and it was always about money on the table . and to have come up . and they seem to have come up with a formula isn't with a formula which isn't perfect may get them perfect but which may get them over hurdle , which over the immediate hurdle, which is that for last year you get a lump sum rather than anything

one of your basic. but the key to be that the government is offering% for the coming year with a guess that will fall below that. so that could be as far as the unions concerned, a real term pay increase. so that would certainly satisfy their members . would certainly satisfy their members. this would certainly satisfy their members . this is a would certainly satisfy their members. this is a little bit like the office , the deal stuff, like the office, the deal stuff, isn't it? because i think it gives the unions enough to be able claim victory and it gives the government to be able to claim victory because they can say, a bit of a say, well, we saw off a bit of a winter of discontent. didn't winter of discontent. we didn't cave given cave in there. we've not given them a massive inflation busting pay them a massive inflation busting pay rises that the taxpayer is going to have to pay. we didn't even about them in even talk about them in the budget had 100,000 people budget and we had 100,000 people showing outside showing off this year outside the commons. the house of commons. but the unions you've unions can say, as you've rightly identified , potentially rightly identified, potentially they pay above they will get a pay above whatever that current inflation rate is in a couple of months say so. don't see is this bit say so. i don't see is this bit of win win and the country can of a win win and the country can just move really think just move on not really think the unions have come out of this better than the government because government's because the government's position no more

position was there was no more money. but there has been more money. but there has been more money. originally they said anything over and a half% was inflationary by offering more and also as you remember, they said they would stick with pay review, recommendations and review, body recommendations and they haven't. so in many ways they haven't. so in many ways the government's had to give ground . in fact, what is to ground. in fact, it's what is to for the big dispute that's not being resolved is that with the civil servants and we've seen that with the passport office but they'll be rolling dispute right across the civil service and that cause significant disruption delay to the business of government. i mean just looking at this in the round now keir starmer wasn't a massive front of the he strikes wasn't on the picket like one might have expected in previous labour leaders to be wasn't forthcoming with why he to do as a result of these strike action. he wasn't putting a number on what he would do to offer these unions. i to a representative of i spoke to a representative of unite earlier who was clearly not overly impressed with the way that the labour leader has

handled these when comes to handled these when it comes to all of this sorted, assuming people in the nhs for example, take what we believe is on offer, which is a one off 2% payment on their salary plus a covid recovery bonus of around 4% current financial 4% for the current financial yeah 4% for the current financial year. plus, as mentioned, year. plus, as you mentioned, that 5% pay increase in 2023 to 2024. i mean actually it could be seen as a win for the tories. you know, if he stops strikes and labour haven't exactly. dominated this, this corner of, the market have they . i don't the market have they. i don't think it's a win for the government. i what's happened is the government was bitterly and the government was bitterly and the prime minister to some extent finding his feet. i think the solution has come from the prime minister himself. he understands that these strikes are quite popular and that they were going on and on and were doing them during the government despite this. so he stepped in, overruled his right wing over the departmental heads and said, you need to settle because we need stability . we need to be need stability. we need to be able to get things . so i think able to get things. so i think what's happened is the prime

minister has stood up. i counted against his own people and to some extent you say put labour in a more difficult position as a result. i think i think, you know, look, obviously i don't think this is by any means perfect what's going here with the strikes. but i think it does put library situation because in the weeks, the last three and a half weeks, i'm sunak can come out and say, well , there is at least a well, there is at least a migration on the table that the windsor framework as augustus defence spending does this assuming this goes through and it does start to look a bit, it doesn't like he's got his doesn't sit like he's got his hands on rudder as it were, hands on the rudder as it were, but look, thank you very, very much. have you on. the much. great to have you on. the show industrial relations show as industrial relations professor wolverhampton university cfo. just university is roger, cfo. just reacting we reacting to what i think we all agree potentially anyway, agree is potentially anyway, very news for very good news and good news for everybody the strikes everybody because the strikes might stop. so we yes might stop. so there we go. yes they are empty. they don't lie. they're strike doctors they are empty. they don't lie. thejnurses strike doctors they are empty. they don't lie. thejnurses , strike doctors they are empty. they don't lie. thejnurses , etc. strike doctors they are empty. they don't lie. thejnurses , etc. looks doctors they are empty. they don't lie. thejnurses , etc. looks like )rs and nurses, etc. looks like they're probably to they're probably not going to strike not strike as well. teachers not striking. so the end is possibly in store . how you think rishi in store. how do you think rishi sunak emerges as a result all sunak emerges as a result of all of this? moving on. well and

also met with past members of. the irish guards tv online and the ap plus radio. this is the gb news. now it's back to . patrick right ? welcome back, everybody. right? welcome back, everybody. now oxfam is being criticised for issuing an inclusive language guide, telling staff avoid using words. mother and father. the 92 page document also that english is the language of a colonising nation . oh, someone's posted a video on twitter that says this charity's you mayhem herve . when charity's you mayhem herve. when we include everyone , we can we include everyone, we can overcome poverty. oh if you are listening on radio, i can tell you, video, of course, is set a backdrop of all of the colours , backdrop of all of the colours, the rainbow and some more . just the rainbow and some more. just to be extra nice. oh, some days it just a guideline and it's not intended as a prescriptive document, but as might expect,

it has been widely mocked . the it has been widely mocked. the front page of today's daily mail . it's beyond parody. with now is dr. akiba sun, who is a social policy analyst at draghi. thank you very much . now, this thank you very much. now, this has caused massive, massive criticism , not least of people criticism, not least of people saying how much money as oxfam spent when could spent on this, when it could have kids have been helping out needy kids . although, of course, the children of haiti might take a different but how bizarre different view. but how bizarre is it, do you think, that oxfam decided to give advice to its staff that like mother and father could be offensive ? well, father could be offensive? well, patrick, i'm to make the point. i'm really glad that you raised, because oxfam's record in certain areas , far from stellar. certain areas, far from stellar. in fact, it's actually banned from applying for aid funds in the uk for three years after cases of sexual exploitation emerged , promising to emerge emerged, promising to emerge from its activities in haiti . from its activities in haiti. and there were also cases of oxfam workers being for cases of sexual exploitation and bullying

in the democratic republic , in the democratic republic, congo.soi in the democratic republic, congo. so i find it quite incredible that oxfam have the time and, energy to waste these kind of modern cultural initiatives when really i think they should be advising as staff on the bread and butter of protecting the most vulnerable instead of exploiting them in their overseas activities . yeah, their overseas activities. yeah, indeed. and is just i think. yes virtue signalling statement someone or body whose job it is not to do those things but to actually help people and when talk about english being the language of a colonising nation , presumably they're going to be also taking similar policies out in spain, france , portugal, much in spain, france, portugal, much of the arab world. one would expect no , no, you would think expect no, no, you would think so. but that's the logic, i think for me , as we know, think for me, as we know, patrick, that this many organisations in the charitable who my view they failed to do

the bread and butter when it comes to providing support and assistance for the most vulnerable in british society and in the world generally . but and in the world generally. but i do think that i also see in the charitable sector what i consider to be quite blatant forms of anti—british behaviour and initiatives , ultimately and initiatives, ultimately vilify elements of british culture that includes the engush culture that includes the english language. so if you see some of these proposals here, i it's even worse than that. i think that it's deeply misogynistic and it does amount to the erasure women replacing the term mothers with people who've become pregnant . i think who've become pregnant. i think what you see there is what is what you see there is what is what i see with many charities is that in trying to fashionable they actually quote responsible for a very deeply misogynist behaviour. yeah they are. i'm just going to read out this. avoid using instead use human

kind reason mankind has an inherent association with maleness . presumably oxfam will maleness. presumably oxfam will not be sponsoring united any time soon. biological male. such female . they want to be assigned female. they want to be assigned female. they want to be assigned female such male at birth . the female such male at birth. the reason no one, whether cisgender or transgender, gets to choose what sex assigned at birth. so here we have oxfam, a that presumably goes to the parts of africa that very few people will will into and they will be looking at a newborn baby that with malaria and they will have to explain to that mother why they call her a woman or assign a gender to that child instead of, oh, i don't know it get immunity from malaria or something. it'sjust immunity from malaria or something. it's just bonkers , something. it's just bonkers, isn't it ? this is i would have isn't it? this is i would have thought far more a you . for thought far more a you. for initiative would be focussed on

to how improve processes surrounding disease prevention and control in the most deprived parts of the world where the health infrastructure simply isn't there to address those kind of problems . i think that kind of problems. i think that there's actually remarkable waste time and i think a way oxfam's record for me i don't find it to be the most the kind institution which ranks highly when it comes to matters integrity . and i think that integrity. and i think that that's very much the case when it comes to these initiatives that's following kind of fashionable cultural trends and ultimately that will result in neglecting the bread and butter in terms of combating poverty , in terms of combating poverty, the world. now, i want to know how much money has been spent on this and where else that money could have been spent. there are no shortage parts of the world that could benefit oxfam's that could benefit from oxfam's game. man power, a game. it's a man power, a manpower power. human manpower power. sorry, human

power . people power. apologies. power. people power. apologies. i've just done it. i will never work again. okay i've read a lot of graphs that you go that. but thank you very much, dr. keep on that. a social policy that. it was a social policy analyst just picking through the hot that oxfam's advice to hot mess that oxfam's advice to stop people is another one by the just out. i'll the way that's just out. i'll leave with image. and leave you with that image. and oxfam spokesperson has had this to of using to we are proud of using inclusive language we won't succeed in tackling poverty by excluding marginalised groups . excluding marginalised groups. guide is not prescriptive it is intended to help authors communicate with a diverse range of people with which we work. we are disappointed that some people have decided to misrepresent advice offered in the guide clearly states the authors should respect the desires of those who want to be described as mother or that we go right. so yes, another own goal from oxfam, many people would say . but back to goal from oxfam, many people would say. but back to this big breaking news, the international criminal court issued arrest warrants against russian president vladimir putin. i'm joined now sir geoffrey nice,

who's human rights lawyer who works on the international criminal tribunal for the former yugoslavia and was the prosecutor , the former serbian prosecutor, the former serbian president's milosevic's trial . president's milosevic's trial. thank you very much. great to have you on show. what does this really mean to putin? well, what it means for putin, less important than what it means for the rest of us by that he'll be deposed and handed over or he'll disappear into russia or he'll die. who knows ? he may or may die. who knows? he may or may not be tried . that's not as not be tried. that's not as important as the fact that this registers that the world's only international criminal court has found enough evidence to categorise this man as a criminal and thus to make clear in an official terms that the rest of us have known for a long time and rather regret it hasn't been said earlier. this is a criminal trial, a criminal war led by a criminal.

criminal trial, a criminal war led by a criminal . and that's led by a criminal. and that's going to have a very broad effect for the rest of us. what effect for the rest of us. what effect it has on putin? we don't know when he's worthwhile, but the context , people who are just the context, people who are just joining this in the joining us because this in the last hour we covered at the last hour we covered it at the but are just joining us but if you are just joining us this in relation to the icc this is in relation to the icc believing . it has strong believing. it has strong evidence that vladimir putin and his children's rights commissioner have unlawfully ukrainian children into russia , ukrainian children into russia, put them into camps or put them up adoption amongst the russian population and they have been accused and the ukrainians trying to say that this is form of genocide . how do you feel of genocide. how do you feel about that ? well, that's hardly about that? well, that's hardly different question . genocide is different question. genocide is always harder to prove because requires proof and the mind of the alleged offending genocide , the alleged offending genocide, the alleged offending genocide, the very particular state of mind and people have to remember

that genocide , although is said that genocide, although is said to be the world's worst crime, is not necessarily or more serious than the same act committed as crimes , humanity or committed as crimes, humanity or war crimes. so we shouldn't get too bogged down in genocide . too bogged down in genocide. however there are many ways in which other five ways in which genocide can be committed . and genocide can be committed. and one of them is the transferring of children. so although no such a particular crime think has ever been proved , very few ever been proved, very few genocides have been proved . it genocides have been proved. it may be that in due course the international criminal court will expand the present arrest or the present proposed indictment in which the warrant is based to include genocide by transfer of children , but not

transfer of children, but not yet . and i think we should focus yet. and i think we should focus because it's so valuable. i'm not already there. rather than complicate the issue. hmm can i just get in your ? i mean, you've just get in your? i mean, you've got a direct relevance in this, so because you were the lead prosecutor at the former serbian president's slobodan milosevic's trial , i president's slobodan milosevic's trial, i think a lot of people thought that he may never face justice the same i think is the general attitude when it comes to putin. now, at the minute, do you think that putin will ever find himself the hague . i have find himself the hague. i have no better idea about that than . no better idea about that than. you or your political commentators. the way that milosevic was found himself, indicted it was a because there was a change of regime in belgrade and the successor regime , it appropriate to hand regime, it appropriate to hand him over . regime, it appropriate to hand him over. now, that could happen

in russia, but whether it will or not is something that your political commentators? i think would far better to tell you about than i am. i'm not going to know outside what knowledge have. no that's right. well look, i'm sure we will talk again on this. it's been great to have you on the show and appreciate coming on. thank you very, very much, sir. geoffrey nice. know he's a human nice. i know he's a human rights lawyer. international lawyer. he on the international criminal former criminal tribunal for the former yugoslavia and was the lead prosecutor at the former president milosevic's president slobodan milosevic's trial in relation to that big breaking international breaking news international arrest peter arrest warrants issued for peter . moving on, prince is in . moving on, prince harry is in the today. what is not the news today. what is he not in news this time? he's in the news this time? he's suing newspaper group. yes, suing a newspaper group. yes, that's right. we'll you that's right. we'll bring you the . all of that. and the latest. all of that. and yes, you believe what the yes, you not believe what the murderer, you pay murderer, levi wants you to pay for . i'm patrick christys. this for. i'm patrick christys. this is

gb news of oak low's office in the chancellor's the lifetime

pensions allowance , which was £8 pensions allowance, which was £8 million. so now, how many flyers over all these really high flying, high flyers be able to put aside as much as they want their pension honeypot without being taxed? jeremy hunt says the goal is to keep senior professionals, particularly doctors, in workforce consultants as well . but critics consultants as well. but critics have argued that it have just come up with a tailor scheme for them instead . so labour's shadow them instead. so labour's shadow chancellor has branded the move a £1 billion pensions bung for the 1. look, we all know what that line they're saying. oh, you're just protecting wealthy again. oh, i am joined now by baroness ros altmann, who has a pensions expert on conservative peen pensions expert on conservative peer. baroness, thank you very , peer. baroness, thank you very, very much. look is this just a bang for the rich or. not of course it's not. and i just find that this whole political football that is being played with what is actually a reading important decision is classic

examples of what's gone wrong with pensions for so long. and you know what this policy does is it stops the pension system driving of the most senior people out of public services vital public services. and it's not just the nhs senior police officers firefighters head teachers, ambulance staff, loads and loads . really important and loads. really important sector workers have over about to retire just of the pension penalty and that makes no sense and the chancellor was right to lie as quickly as possible to address it. but there's more laboun address it. but there's more labour, labour, labour want to labour are saying that. well what you should have done is come up with something bespoke. so you should have just gone so as you should have just gone well public well we'll do it for public workers. i'm being funny. workers. i'm not being funny. but of like weird but it's that kind of like weird class doctor earning

class. why is a doctor earning £1,000,000 in their pension better than anyone else ? okay, better than anyone else? okay, so let's get something clear. first of all, the people who are caught by the lifetime allowance of £1 million are people could be earning just about £80,000 a yearif be earning just about £80,000 a year if they go long service and they've got a pension worth about 50,000 a year, they be caught by the £1 million lifetime allowance . we are not lifetime allowance. we are not talking about millions as yet. we're talking about firstly in the public sector or in defined benefit schemes who've risen to levels it could senior nurses, it could , you know, people who it could, you know, people who have done well in areas of our vital public service, not millionaires , people earning millionaires, people earning millions or even hundreds of thousands and also people in the private sector . the lifetime

private sector. the lifetime allowance has never made any sense because if you want to control how much higher rate taxpayer is or the higher earners are put into their pensions , you can't see it due pensions, you can't see it due to change annual allowance , but to change annual allowance, but then don't punish them for good investment . well, this is it. investment. well, this is it. why should you disincentive people who want to go on and earn of money? and i can't earn loads of money? and i can't help whether help but wonder whether or not that's message labour that's the message that labour is very well is sending. it's all very well and if you want to become and good. if you want to become and good. if you want to become a millionaire, want to a millionaire, if you want to work beloved nhs, that's work in our beloved nhs, that's fine. just want to do fine. but if you just want to do well, life in general, the labour not the party of labour party is not the party of you, thank you, baroness rosamond. thank you, baroness rosamond. thank you expert, you very much. pensions expert, conservative the conservative member of the house of i'm going to of lords. but i'm going to continue conversation now is sebastian senior sebastian rees, who's a senior researcher at public services think sebastian you think tank reform. sebastian you very now i'm getting loads very much. now i'm getting loads of who just of emails from people who just say, look, i've all life, my say, look, i've all my life, my wife is worth all my life. i'm 81 now. we managed to get our pension pot just above the £1 million mark. we are not rich. why labour to punish why does labour wants to punish us? well, look, patrick, i think

thanks very much for me on. i think this is an area that government wanted to look at. we know that the pensions allowances have been frozen for allowances have been frozen for a few now and clearly a few now and this clearly required something more of a law. but i think on this one, it does really basic test of does really fail a basic test of fairness. that's this in a fairness. and that's this in a time where families up and down the struggling and the country are struggling and where really, really where budgets are really, really tight, feel like a tight, this does feel like a huge to a tiny number huge giveaway to a tiny number 42,000 just got to ask 42,000 people. just got to ask you i've i've you, because i've heard i've heard argument heard the fairness argument before. what is fair about making people making people who pay making people making people who pay the most amount of tax their entire can probably fund about three nurses every flip a month then not be able to save more than a million quid in that pension pot without clobbered again. now what's fair about that. again. now what's fair about that . so let's let's very clear that. so let's let's very clear about the kind of people we are talking about here. so these are the kind of people who can afford to put more than £40,000 afford to put more than £40,000 a into their pension pot . a year into their pension pot. and that into context, and to put that into context, that's the average that's more than the average person year . these person earns each year. these are people who can more than are people who can put more than £1,000,000 pension pot

£1,000,000 in their pension pot when and when they retire. and that's more most workers this more than most workers this country their lifetime. country make in their lifetime. so all very well and good so it's all very well and good to say that are questions to say that there are questions about fair it to continue about how fair it is to continue to people at higher rate. to tax people at higher rate. but time where being asked but in a time where being asked to tighten their belts what talking about a small fraction of people who the wealthiest of people who are the wealthiest earners ? i think you're exactly earners? i think you're exactly right this across right in saying that this across both private both the public and private sector , labour might kind of sector, labour might be kind of evasive in the sense of not not not pointing out the fact that the top 1% who they are, who they're with, own they're with, their own proposals often does compromise pubuc proposals often does compromise public sector workers as well. so the most senior doctors but really a small number of really this is a small number of people and that's £10 billion giveaway a time where giveaway at a time where government just can't afford that. sebastian thank that. all right, sebastian thank you very much. sorry to be squeezed but squeezed for time there, but great have on. i'll talk great to have you on. i'll talk to again soon. sebastian great to have you on. i'll talk to senior] soon. sebastian great to have you on. i'll talk to senior researchebastian great to have you on. i'll talk to senior research and ian great to have you on. i'll talk to senior research and public rees senior research and public services think tank reform. from where labour party where i'm sitting, labour party have down here have been absolutely down here and to rattle and they're trying to rattle around oh, okay, we'll around and say, oh, okay, we'll do instead. and do it for doctors instead. and it any sense it doesn't make any sense anyway. that's anyway. gonorrhoea cases. that's right. welcome back. right. people welcome back. gonorrhoea . england have

gonorrhoea cases. england have resurged since the easing of covid restrictions , with covid restrictions, with officials warning people about the recent rise in cases data shows that diagnoses in the first nine months of 2022 flipping at 56,327. now believe it or not, it's 21,000. sorry 1% higher than the same period in 2019. i'm joined now by 96. who is a dating coach? no idea. thank you very . this, of course, thank you very. this, of course, is shocking stuff. and people being urged to use protection and get themselves checked . and get themselves checked. yeah.i and get themselves checked. yeah. i mean, i my initial gut reaction is, you know, being told what to do again about get lost. but actually know the 51,000 wasn't is huge and thousands of people walking around that don't know they have it and yeah i think it's just get that message out. go and get tested. you should really be having an sd test every six months anyway if you're active

and use protection i mean it's not rocket science now and i'm actually quite stuck at those some of the sectors of society who apparently getting gonorrhoea more . n0 who apparently getting gonorrhoea more . no this is the gonorrhoea more. no this is the elderly as they apparently become more sexually promiscuous not if . yeah i mean covid covid not if. yeah i mean covid covid schmo they like their back and they're ready to and my clients are my clients usually range about sort of 30 to 45 i would say that's the majority of my clients. but in the last six months i've seen i must of rise in the over fifties emailing me messaging media and me i'm ready to get back out there want out and out and dating more which i think is a good thing but i think is a good thing but i think i think for women know i know a lot of my women have been through the they they don't use protection because they get pregnant and so they're just like it's you know it's , not a like it's you know it's, not a big deal. it's a problem. and the men prefer it and they don't use it actually they've

russian families. the ukrainians are calling this . is that right are calling this. is that right ? it's not. but it is a war crime. ? it's not. but it is a war crime . the prosecutor of , the crime. the prosecutor of, the international criminal court carrying khan casey, a british barrister , said in the last few barrister, said in the last few minutes is that his office is investigate to have identified incidents . the deportation of at incidents. the deportation of at least hundreds of children taken from orphanages and children's homes. they allege that many of these children have been given up adoption in the russian federation. the law was changed russia to expedite control of russian citizenship and the prosecutor alleges that there's an intention to permanently remove these children their own country. they were protected under the geneva convention the geneva convention of deals with rights of civilians during war. and karen khan that he had told the security council last

september that the investigation of alleged deportation of children from ukraine was priority. and the human of these crimes was made clear. his recent visit to ukraine. so what happens now? it's a putin because he just probably leave russia and won't face justice. he hasn't left russia for the past year as far as we know. and you're absolutely right. if he doesn't leave , then he's not doesn't leave, then he's not going to be arrested unless, of course, he is deposed within russia. but the aim is that if he does leave russia, then any country that signed up to the international criminal would actually be under obligation to arrest him and in principle, to bnng arrest him and in principle, to bring him for trial in the hague. now while he stays in russia, he's pretty safe. but who knows what's going to happen in the future. so what does all of this mean ? putin's mouthpiece of this mean? putin's mouthpiece all saying this is meaningless. and as long as he stays in russia , it is, isn't it. it's

russia, it is, isn't it. it's not meaningless, but it's certainly not going to have any immediate effect, obviously has symbolic effect . it must be symbolic effect. it must be something we know. it is something we know. it is something that has been welcomed in ukraine. we know the russians have said this is to do with us. we're not signed up . the court we're not signed up. the court we're not signed up. the court we don't have to take any of it. but it does , doesn't it, that but it does, doesn't it, that the international community is determined to take action? what we know about this case is unusually , the arrest warrants unusually, the arrest warrants have been made . we don't know have been made. we don't know about other proposals to arrest in russia for other crimes or indeed to arrest putin. the war crimes. the court president made it clear that this has made pubucin it clear that this has made public in order to try to prevent children being deported in the future. i suppose if even a few children are protected , a few children are protected, being taken from their homes to russia, that would be an achievement . absolutely. thank achievement. absolutely. thank you very, very for coming on short notice. rosenberg that legal commentator , reacting to

legal commentator, reacting to the breaking news that took place during this very show, which is that is now an international arrest warrant out against vladimir putin. so that we go but we're moving on matters closer to home now because there's fresh today that this epidemic of strikes has done so damage to our economy in the few is finally coming the last few is finally coming to end. government and to an end. government and education unions have agreed to hold intensive talks on the issues which have sparked a series of strikes by teachers in recent it comes a day recent months. it comes a day after unions agreed to after health unions agreed to a pay after health unions agreed to a pay deal that they'll now put to their members, at least most them did anyway. and of course, them did anyway. and of course, the rmt face the railways, the rmt face of the railways, they've strikes. and when they've cooled strikes. and when you all of this the you look at all of this in the round, i help but wonder round, i can't help but wonder whether actually, whether or not. actually, this is a is starting to look like a little bit win for rishi little bit of a win for rishi sunak a good political deal. nonetheless the unions can also claim this as a win. let's talk now to the socialist party trade organiser rob williams . rob, organiser rob williams. rob, thank you very much. look it's a sad day for . trade unionists

sad day for. trade unionists like yourself, rob as and you know you want to see a whopping inflation busting pay rises and ricky stuart has managed to hold and just give you about 5% well, it's not enough. and actually , it's not enough. and actually, you've actually said yourself it's not enough. the point is though is that this is an a victory for rishi sunak rishi sunak has been pushed back. this was the government that told us in november they weren't prepared to negotiate. you know , there was no new money on the table . but what has happened, of table. but what has happened, of course, is that we've seen an incredible mobilisation of workers, half a million on february the first, 600,000 on wednesday on budget day. it's just. and keir starmer didn't even mention he did it but more to be won. yeah just to say i mean it is a win for him surely because if an nhs in england accepts an offer of a 5% pay rise and a one off backlog bonus of around 1200 quid, he saved himself the taxpayer billions of pounds because originally they

wanted around % as a pay rise wanted around% as a pay rise then. so it is a win. wanted around% as a pay rise then. so it is a win . well, we then. so it is a win. well, we don't think the deal should be accepted. socialist party in those unions voted against recommending acceptance of that so we think more should be won. we think the offer should be we think the two strikes should be escalated. but i tell you what is up under is that just before christmas the nurses leaders nurses union leaders said to rishi you put in we even talked about pay us so we'll suspend the action he didn't. and i tell you what's happened since patrick. a new generation of workers , many of whom have never workers, many of whom have never taken action before . whatever taken action before. whatever happens, and i hope they reject . but even if they accept the lesson, they will have learned daysis lesson, they will have learned days is that if you take action , then you get more of employer and you get more of the government. this is a government that's been pushed back. but we think it be pushed back more. i mean, the thing is, rishi sunak

very easily have looked at the winter of discontent when that was being reached across the nafion was being reached across the nation . see in gone. i'm going nation. see in gone. i'm going to panic now. i'm going to give in you want. and he did in to what you want. and he did a in his mind a calculation in his mind he didn't see which that if i didn't see which was that if i wait it's all very and wait this it's all very well and good. saying you want good. are you saying you want workers strike workers to continue the strike action they afford it action but they can't afford it because? on because? they've been out on strike including over strike so much, including over christmas. look at, christmas. and when you look at, the fact the gmb, the the fact that the gmb, the unison and the royal college of nursing, they're basically , nursing, they're basically, look, take this deal now . i look, take this deal now. i mean, is it fair to say that you as a socialist policy union organiser , you are in a very organiser, you are in a very very small minority of people now, aren't you? you are extreme . well, i think this government this extreme i think the employers saw it in the in the you and i, we they they're looking after a very, very small minority of the of the super . minority of the of the super. look, the point here is, is that workers will decide, you know, these votes will happen. the

workers decide themselves. i think it's not i think it's far from certain that workers will the people i've seen . but i tell the people i've seen. but i tell you what will happen is this is a government that is telling these workers that obviously that this is a deal for this yean that this is a deal for this year, next year , they're putting year, next year, they're putting 5% on the table on the basis that inflation is going to be a lot . it's two weeks to the next lot. it's two weeks to the next financial year and inflation rpi inflation is 13. cpi inflation is over 10. i tell of rishi sunakis is over 10. i tell of rishi sunak is confident that inflation is falling. well, wages need say 5% or inflation preferably rpi, whichever the greatest. well, he can't guarantee that i'm not swayed. patrick workers are not going to be. they may not. these strikes are not all. maybe because he's not actually the kind heartless so—and—so did a lot of trade unionists like to say maybe he thinks that the do deserve a pay rise that might end up turning

to be above inflation. maybe thinks that i'll say and then that's quite a thing. can i just ask as? well, you mentioned about the 100,000 or so people who were outside marching on parliament on wednesday when the budget was announced a budget that anything , by budget was announced a budget thatway, anything , by budget was announced a budget thatway, about anything , by budget was announced a budget thatway, about the anything , by budget was announced a budget thatway, about the public1g , by budget was announced a budget thatway, about the public sector the way, about the public sector and. you are the labour leader there up prime there standing up prime minister's time's go minister's questions time's go on sir keir, you've got six big ones that the prime minister haven't gary haven't asked them about. gary flippin . he didn't talk flippin lineker. he didn't talk about people who about the 100,000 people who were outside protesting the things want . were outside protesting the things want. how did things that you want. how did that make you feel ? well, first that make you feel? well, first of wanted pay rise, of all, if she wanted pay rise, he could have done months he could have done it months ago. starmer, look ago. secondly, on starmer, look , starmer doesn't represent my opinion. those workers are what margin passed. i mean, look , margin passed. i mean, look, i've got nothing against him asking questions of gary lineker and what happened. that it was shocking what happened. but, you know , workers need a party, a know, workers need a party, a workers party, a socialist party, in my opinion, that supports taking action and starmer doesn't do that . there's

starmer doesn't do that. there's a few front pages today. i've done this a couple of times already. you've got the metro, you've got the you've got the mirror deal at last on mirror nurses deal at last on the front of the mirror there. and like i've said before, they're not exactly right leaning are leaning newspapers this lot are they. to be i they. so they appear to be i think gauging public mood. think maybe gauging public mood. well can we just all move well which can we just all move on from this now is not fair to suggest that you are now out of kilter with that public mood by one thing to extend strike action. can you read the room, rob ? well, i. you what, patrick? rob? well, i. you what, patrick? the difference between us, the tories, we're not afraid of them. they're the ones bringing in even more anti—union laws like the will. the members of those unions will decide . and those unions will decide. and that's fair enough. you know. and there will be a debate and a discussion whether this deal is acceptable . the point i'm making acceptable. the point i'm making is, though cost of living squeeze isn't anywhere and therefore workers will be forced to fight. still i just wonder whether not you're breaking it a little bit, rob, because really now i can point in the last three and a half, the last three

and a half weeks, you know, there's an illegal migration bill the the latest bill on the table. the latest poll of people agree poll show 52% of people agree completely it, just 16% completely with it, just 16% disagree entirely with it. so there's a very vocal small minority of people there. he's got the winds framework. he's got the winds framework. he's got the winds framework. he's got the all because defence. he's got a deal with macron in in france he might stop the strikes i mean good grief all of a sudden just like that you have a sudden just like that you have a few more years of a tory government rob what a shock tories divide, races divide and to try and win votes. listen i tell you what, if he's looking to macron who used undemocratic presidential decrees to get pension and tax through the french assembly yesterday, you should see what happened overnight in france at the massive protest monkey strike action. it's in ritchie's way or as rob i always enjoy our chats thank you very much may look after yourself take as rob williams is socialist party try to organise out a good sport as well. i must a very good sport right so i've got loads coming

your way actually we are going to on prince harry is in the news today is he. not in the news today is he. not in the news but this time he's suing a newspaper do also to newspaper group. i do also to give up about give you a heads up about something we're doing later something that we're doing later on i went out and about and spoke members of public. spoke to members of the public. you oxfam, employees spoke to members of the public. yo ditch oxfam, employees spoke to members of the public. yo ditch oxfam, mother.oyees to ditch the words mother and father, it might be father, because it might be offensive. women it spelt offensive. women want it spelt with it's one sin. with an axe. so it's one sin. it's just all gone absolutely bonkers. and leave on a battlefield the ridiculously aggressive murderer serving a life term prison. he wants you tax payer, everyone that we know as taxpayers to fork out for his bed so that he can get married to a mystery woman in prison . to a mystery woman in prison. how on earth is he even allow visitors this guy on patrick christys and this

gb news? okay. welcome back. loads to fit in. let's get cracking with prince harry because. he's launched a bid to have parts of

. of mail on . the publisher of the mail on sundays case in a libel dispute out by the high court. the case relates to an article about the duke of sussex. his challenge against the home office over security . joining me now is gb security. joining me now is gb news is reporter cameron walker . cameron, thank you very much. yes. finally got to chat about that, what's going on. that, sir. what's going on. well, complicated. well, it's all very complicated. basically preliminary basically this is a preliminary heanng basically this is a preliminary hearing today in courts and it's all over . hearing today in courts and it's all over. harry suing the publishers. the mail sunday over an article they write prince harry's separate legal against the home office over that decision not to allow him pay for his own police protection when he's in uk. so in july the judge in this case ruled harry's favour, saying that the article question was defamatory because the article basically said that prince harry's pr team had spun it to make it look like to any ordinary reader. it would look as if that prince harry always offered pay for his own police protection when he's in the but legal documents show. that's not

the case at all. so that's what the case at all. so that's what the article said. prince harry says but he has always offered to pay for his own police protection. he he offered to pay in january of 2020 during the sandringham summit when he was thrashing out the negotiations of stepping back as a working member of the royal family and the associated newspapers, he publishes mail on sunday is basically saying that hold on he didn't make that official he only said that in passing comments which why they wrote comments which is why they wrote the also using the article. but they also using two defences we associate newspapers, lawyers they are saying that honest opinion has been expressed in this article, which is a defence defamation cases and also they argued that prince harry no serious harm was came prince harry's reputation because of this article that was some negotiation outside of court to see if they could come to some kind of settlement that clearly hasn't happened because the case has gone to a preliminary hearing today not many details of its to exactly

what was said today. the judge has made a decision either way as to why he's won this case, but i we'll out but i think we'll find out perhaps in a couple of weeks. but is just one of a number but this is just one of a number of different lawsuits harry is involved so got this involved with. so he's got this which you talked about, the which you just talked about, the separate against home separate one against the home office and, then three separate ones against different british tabloids group, newspapers, news newspapers, and another newspapers, and another newspapers claim against alleged unlawful information gathering, i.e. alleged phone as an example. so summarise, patrick, if you're still with i am prince harry is at war with the british press and still is at war with the british government as well. yeah, i mean, it's just incredible really i mean, i tell you what, one of the best jobs in the world right now would be to prince harry's team. to be prince harry's legal team. wouldn't really ? the money wouldn't it really? the money will rolling their way. when will be rolling their way. when would though? look, come would it though? look, come mean. thank you much for picking through that particular legal minefield and you appreciated and give you

sticking well come on sticking around as well come on walker gb is royal walker that is gb news is royal report you up to date report to bring you up to date with latest updates and the with the latest updates and the legal case is now with the windsor framework nhs and the orcas deal . it appears that orcas deal. it appears that rishi sunak is racking up rather an impressive tally in last few months, but is it enough to stop keir starmer and the labour ? keir starmer and the labour? polling seems to say no, but it depends which polls you look at and they've been wrong before . and they've been wrong before. with me now to discuss whether not rishi sunak is actually smashing starmer out of the park. jo—anne nadler author and journalist peter edwards, former editor of labour less great stuff joanne always. ladies first on the show. joanna we'll start you. i mean, it looks a little bit me like rishi sunak is doing quite a good job. well, i think that in his favour there have been some incremental gains without and to a certain extent think that is confounding people that had written him off but i do think it's important to get that some kind of context and the word incremental i think is

key to this . you know, there key to this. you know, there have been a few things where he's clearly made some, but equally, i think with to say the new working on the northern ireland protocol and budget that devils being revealed in the detail and therefore on that to the technical point alone. i think we have to reserve judgement and on the wider issue i think of is he creating a sort of a narrative , a story as to of a narrative, a story as to why people should consider voting conservative. yes again, when all around them they quite a lot of a sort of dysfunction . a lot of a sort of dysfunction. i think we're not there yet. quite frankly i don't think keir starmer is articulating anything particularly but he's yeah i mean just in that because i want to come back to if that's all right he's got peter. peter former editor of less. i mean, the thing i would look i know

he's alright rishi can at least hold on and say i've done or i'm doing this, this, this and this. i mean what i've, what labour do most. keir starmer well, the tories have stabilised the kind of summer of chaos with boris johnson and then liz truss keir starmer's pitch has always been completely different , been one completely different, been one about competence and, another one about fairness . and the one about fairness. and the other thing i'd say is all from within labour party is that within the labour party is that there recognition, of there was recognition, winds of agreement ireland agreement on northern ireland looked of the looked positive in terms of the of it and ensuring peace and but the budget is pretty underwhelming about. the budget is pretty underwhelming about . two the budget is pretty underwhelming about. two thirds of people said either don't know or they oppose contents of the budget. and perhaps because we've got used to so much turmoil not standard though isn't but it's not normal. isn't sorry but it's not normal. i i don't think that the i mean i don't think that the vast people listen vast majority of people listen to on budget and to a chancellor on budget and gargle every word of that. i'm not that's a fair not sure that's a fair assessment many people, assessment because. many people, perhaps don't in perhaps including me, don't in all data. but polling shows all the data. but polling shows individual asks individual policies and asks voters, if they think they'll better or worse off, and if they

oppose it. so it fell fairly flat, about two thirds said, i don't know . the other point is don't know. the other point is that the polling has moved around bit. it's a fairly healthy the have just healthy lead. the have just under 20. there is no john can ask you a little bit about soft tories please be quiet tories shy tories because i'm looking at detail on this at some of the detail on this and blue wall seats there and in the blue wall seats there is one point gap is now just a one point gap between keir starmer and as leaders as men as as party leaders. and i thought it was interesting i think that for a little while the tories lost a lot of those , shall we say, lot of those, shall we say, comfortable, quiet, quiet middle classes. okay. and i just wonder whether or not that getting them back now rishi and that could be massive joe. well i think it's interesting that peter talks about starmer elevating to being something of which of course it is . i think something of which of course it is. i think that if he wants to fight this next election on the bafis fight this next election on the basis of competence then frankly you know rishi is already giving him of a run for his money. i

mean, what i'm saying actually is that both parties need to come up with something a little bit exciting than bit more exciting than competence. certainly competence. and i certainly a moment following all the moment you following all the debacles of last where competence was a sensible line of attack for keir starmer but i don't think that there's enough to it now for him to claim that that's a particularly distinctive approach . what distinctive approach. what you're saying, i think is right , patrick, i think those people who perhaps don't want to publicly themselves publicly associate themselves the conservative party but were able to disassociate themselves it on the basis that what a mess had made everything last year had made of everything last year . i think, know, naturally . i think, you know, naturally they will want come back to they will want to come back to their sort of their natural instincts and conservative, but know what we have to remember that those kind of people tend to be in an older demographic and i think mean the party is been able to sort of reach to those younger generations up and really explaining to them why they should consider voting conservative in the in the case of the conservatives or labour in keir starmer's case, you know

there's nothing particularly exciting going even though there are huge, big cultural issues. for instance , there. but people, for instance, there. but people, you know , in the street too, you know, in the street too, i think, are genuinely concerned and politicians are struggling to articulate something that's going to appeal them. do you think, peter, that the wind is being sucked out of starmer being sucked out of keir starmer 7 being sucked out of keir starmer ? if rishi does manage to the strikes do some damage when strikes etc, do some damage when it comes to what's going on in the channel northern the channel that northern ireland picture ireland is a much better picture than was when he took over than it was when he took over that the isn't going into this you recession for example you know recession for example that was what i was looking for recession. you know, they're actually sunak can point actually rishi sunak can point to well we did of and to anger. well we did all of and did quite quickly what did it all quite quickly what kid apart from falling kid done apart from falling around them with a mop and around with them with a mop and around with them with a mop and a bucket go well that's a a bucket and go well that's a very bit policy very specific bit of policy i don't quite like what rishi sunak decent few weeks sunak had a decent few weeks because he's consolidated the government bit calm and government is a bit calm and he's stabilised his they're not revolting any more in one sense of the word they're not fighting amongst each other. but for keir starmer i think can't win on

starmer i think he can't win on leadership economy leadership and on the economy because polls keir because people and polls keir starmer trusted. he ran a starmer is trusted. he ran a nationalist in the and he's nationalist in the cps and he's believable and is seen as competent and on the economy which is obviously been another weak labour over the weak point for labour over the last . think come last decade. i think it come back to ronald question back to that ronald question 1980, are you better than you were five years ago and labour can still win on that? very much so. it's fascinating stuff. thank you very much. both. if he really chat jo—anne really enjoyed that chat jo—anne nadler journalist really enjoyed that chat jo—anne nadle boswell, journalist really enjoyed that chat jo—anne nadle boswell, joueditor of peter boswell, former editor of list. yeah. look, let's just i just wanted to have that conversation because i can't help wonder whether help but wonder whether or not the to turn. the tide is starting to turn. want know what think want to know what you think about the about this? gb views the gbnews.uk? yes by virtue of him being pamela sunak kind being in pamela rishi sunak kind of is actually of do things, but he is actually doing you feel doing things and maybe you feel more optimistic about you did before. get in touch. you've got loads more still to come between now go. first it is now and 6:00 go. but first it is your latest headlines, which i see on a sun . just good see on a sun. just good afternoon. it's 534. i'm tatiana

gb news. welcome back, everybody . oxfam welcome back, everybody. oxfam is being criticised for an inclusive language guide and it tells staff to avoid using the words mother and father . the 92 words mother and father. the 92 page document also says the engush page document also says the english the language of a colony nation. we're going to have two voices on this, but i'm going to go the first one, which is peter tatchell, who is lgbtq activist

, director of the peter tatchell foundation . good. they named foundation. good. they named after himself, of course. toby young, director of the free eating pizza. i'm aware that you're a bit pressed for time, so i'll start with you, if that's will that's alright. and then will steer ourselves towards . toby. steer ourselves towards. toby. peter really the language of peter is really the language of a colonising . well, it is. but a colonising. well, it is. but we shouldn't hold that against the english language. the engushis the english language. the english is a great gift to humanity . english is a great gift to humanity. had english is a great gift to humanity . had met english is a great gift to humanity. had met an extraordinary contribution to human civilisation around the world. but what would say about this is that whatever people think about this language guide and is only a guide, it's not compulsory . whenever you think compulsory. whenever you think about it , compulsory. whenever you think about it, please don't hold it against oxfam's amazing work that it does to lift poor out of poverty. peter i am going to step in here and just use the word haiti . peter, oxfam does word haiti. peter, oxfam does not have a great track record at with things like, you know, allegations, things like bunga bunga parties in with

essentially minors. i mean, it's not it's not great. peter is it in every aspect that. well, people might be saying, why are they using money that could be spent helping third world countries on telling his staff that there was a mother and father might be bad. peter well, first of all, there have been some wrongful incidents with oxfam during its history and i deplore and condemn that . but deplore and condemn that. but they are a small blip on an otherwise external ordinary, powerful record of helping millions and of people get lifted out of poverty to live happier healthier lives. but going back to the issue of the language, it only a guideline , language, it only a guideline, not compulsory . but i agree that not compulsory. but i agree that some the suggestions they make i think even for me a bit far stretch. i mean it says don't use the word stand with because it might offend who cannot stand in that context standing with is

not about standing it's about showing support and solidarity so i think that's a bit misplaced . and the same with the misplaced. and the same with the world headquarters , you know, i world headquarters, you know, i don't see that as being to use the word headquarters organisations have headquarters . people need to know where the headquarters are. if they need to make complaints. so yes, i this is well intentioned but maybe in some areas it i think has a bit too far. okay. toby bnng has a bit too far. okay. toby bring you in now. toby young, director of, the free speech union. i mean, i suppose oxfam is obviously to say whatever it wants to its staff in that sense, but it's whether or not doing things like replacing the word women with axe instead of the eu, which i think might i don't even know how to pronounce mix and maybe i mean, it's not the erasure of women . yes i the erasure of women. yes i think a lots of feminist defenders of sex based women's rights are understandably a little bit cheesed off about 92

page language guide because it does seem to erase , you're does seem to erase, you're advised not to use the word mother, but to replace it with people who , become pregnant. and people who, become pregnant. and that's one of numerous examples it's intended not to exclude trans women, but which end up making women who believe in the reality of biological sex feel excluded as much work that's intended to be inclusive that is actually a smokescreen under which a lot of people people who don't toe the fashionable line on a range of woke issues end up being excluded. but i think the problem with this document, patrick, is that, you know , have patrick, is that, you know, have to ask yourself why , will to ask yourself why, will advising its staff on what vote to use and spending resources on producing this 92 page document how is that going to alleviate famine which is the mission of oxfam after all it just seems a

ludicrous distraction and to condemn english as the language of a of a colonising nation . i of a of a colonising nation. i mean you know oxfam has only just become eligible for funding again, from the foreign office after, as you said earlier, it's been embroiled in a number of scandals in which these allegations of sexual abuse have been levied at staff members, in haiti, in the democratic repubuc haiti, in the democratic republic of congo. it was banned from applying for government between 2018 2022. it's just become eligible again and almost the thing it does is publish this 92 page document which condemns england as a colonising power. why would the foreign office want to now fund this organisation? well, toby, come back to you. but peter, just one more for me, if that's right. yeah. earlier on and i'll play the clip shortly. i went out and. just ask women on the streets of london whether or they thought that this her mother a it was a good and mother a was it was a good and the majority said it the vast majority have said it will offensive to will be quite offensive to remove i'll put you why remove it. i'll put you know why on all companies oxfam who on earth all companies oxfam who should children lives

should be saving children lives going out of their way to well gather just appease the trans community see which is 0.0 whatever% of the population globally. i mean why bother. well it doesn't matter how many trans people there how many gay people, how many jewish. everyone deserves equal rights. but on toby's , i mean, the term but on toby's, i mean, the term they do say that if a parent wish to be which is to be called mother or father that should be respected. so it's trying to enforce a hard interpretation, but it is trying to use language that's inclusive everyone. and i don't think that's bad thing. i think that's a it's a good but i think that's a it's a good but i think you have to temper you have to be temperate and be careful because, you know, if we if we create a culture where are afraid about making mistake, about using the wrong word , then about using the wrong word, then that puts a kind of terrorise. it's a bit late for that. peter that's wrong. it's bit late for that. people are absolutely bricking themselves over whether or not they accidentally used

the wrong word and the rules seem to change. well, we've got we bame now. it we can't use bame now. it apparently is of colour, but that banned 20 minutes ago from other . peter, i'm aware that other. peter, i'm aware that you've got to get going so i will leave you there. i will keep toby on the line as pete to talk off peter talk show off of the peter tatchell foundation and. toby, before come back i before i come back to you, i want to play few clips. i went out about earlier and was asking the paddington ? the people of what paddington? just up the paddington riviera as i call it, and what they thought about this all this nonsense. well mother and father offensive . know what? why? no . offensive. know what? why? no. people? because they define particular roles . their sex particular roles. their sex based. no why not? because of i mean . you just a bit exasperated mean. you just a bit exasperated by all this rubbish i it doesn't offend . no, it's just a bit offend. no, it's just a bit crazy really isn't it. it is broken. don't fix it. they also

want to do instead of using women plural, want to do instead of using women plural , they want it to be women plural, they want it to be with an axe instead of the . with an axe instead of the. a okay. so when mix . we're mix not okay. so when mix. we're mix not just try get . with x , send. no, just try get. with x, send. no, no no. for, you know , women no no. for, you know, women cause we can't do it either. but we got toby. i'll bring you back in now. i mean, this is. i as we've just seen that quite laughable stuff isn't it really from from oxfam and is this what we're seeing now which is a virtue signalling all costs as to actually just doing your job as opposed to actually being virtuous . yes, which is the job? virtuous. yes, which is the job? i think it's , you know, i think i think it's, you know, i think that can be little doubt. patrick that oxfam is not a

charity wholly devote it to alleviating famine across the globe. it is think increasingly a left lobby group an ultra woke campaigning group . the current campaigning group. the current chief executive was acclaimed as a future leader by the world forum . in 2012. he was the forum. in 2012. he was the deputy director of the ip pr, which is left arm . mhm. oh that which is left arm. mhm. oh that was toby young. that's toby young. we lost him but there we go. we were moving on anyway to have you on that direct to the speech speech union. i speech free speech union. i do find obviously i oxfam find it obviously i mean oxfam literally we know what happened in the congo etc. and in haiti, in the congo etc. and you know, have to do you know, all they have to do now is slap rainbow now apparently is slap a rainbow on say, can't on something and say, you can't use woman because it use the word woman because it might trans and might offend trans people. and it's go. all is it's all there you go. all is forgiven. an oxfam forgiven. anyway, an oxfam spokesperson has had this to say . we are proud of using inclusive language. we won't succeed tackling poverty by excluding marginalised groups. this guide is not prescriptive

if it is intended to help authors with a diverse range of people which we work with and we are disappointed that some people decided to misrepresent the advice offered by the guide, which clearly states the authors should respect the of should respect the desires of those wants to be described those who wants to be described as mother father. moving on as mother or father. moving on and that's enough and moving on. that's enough of oxfam. is another oxfam. yes, this is another story will no doubt you story that will no doubt get you all going, because killer levi bellfield reportedly to bellfield reportedly wants to marry . i know. marry his girlfriend. i know. and wants to league of and he wants to use league of your money, taxpayers money to make it happen. bellfield is serving life sentences serving two whole life sentences for the murders of two women and 13 year old milly dowler. he appued 13 year old milly dowler. he applied to marry his girlfriend last year and is said to have made for aid to made a bid for legal aid to challenge decisions block challenge the decisions block his justice secretary his marriage. justice secretary dominic raab has pledged to change law to prevent change the law to prevent those serving sentences serving whole life sentences from getting married. so get the reaction joined donna reaction am joined by donna jones is police and crime jones who is police and crime commissioner hampshire . commissioner for hampshire. donna, much. donna, thank you very much. great you on the. why on great to have you on the. why on earth did le'veon bellfield lots of a girlfriend . i mean patrick

of a girlfriend. i mean patrick story is literally beyond belief. this is a man you've just said is serving not one, but two whole life sentence is meaning that he will never be released from prison unless it is unexceptional and all compassionate grounds. in other words , if he's about to die , words, if he's about to die, this is a man who is one of britain's most violent sexual attackers. murder not only did he kill little milly dowler, but he kill little milly dowler, but he tortured and raped her. he bludgeoned another one of his victims to death. he is an extremely violent man . why extremely violent man. why people have been going to him in prison in terms of women want for him is up to them. but the idea him using taxpayers money to challenge our government our legal system to be able get married have rights to get married have rights to get married . the european court of married. the european court of human rights is quite beyond me and it is disgraceful . yeah, we and it is disgraceful. yeah, we did have a psychologist earlier who explained why i in this case anyway, a woman why some women

do fall in love with a vile serial killer. well, paul got one for that. that was very much a choice for them. but in terms of the law, the minute the idea that this guy can be as depraved as you can use taxpayers cash in the middle of a cost of living crisis to try to marry somebody. i mean, do you agree with dominic raab? we need to the law here. i absolutely do agree with completely. and you know i will be deeply frustrated , be deeply frustrated, particularly somebody who is a strong continued supporter of brexit in leaving the european union. if the court of human rights under, the human rights act able to yet again intercept into our british system and say that the british government is wrong in stopping this monster from , being able to get access from, being able to get access to legal aid to prevent from prevent him from having the wedding he wants at the taxpayers costs whilst he is, you know , of hmv. i think he's you know, of hmv. i think he's in prison in county durham . it in prison in county durham. it is it is a disgrace. he

in prison in county durham. it is it is a disgrace . he is a is it is a disgrace. he is a very, very dangerous individual . now, having said that, i do in in the can can through rehabilitation. and i believe in the rehabilitation of offenders act. but this is a man who is never to walk the streets of britain. and therefore, it is not a sensible use of taxpayers money. and yes, i do support . money. and yes, i do support. the lord chancellor, his the lord chancellor, in his comments today . what about the comments today. what about the victims families in all of this as well? they don't. i mean, the idea bellfield idea that levi bellfield is getting which obviously getting any which he obviously is. way or another of is. is it one way or another of having visitors come meet having visitors come and meet and one who is of a certain persuasion enough to marry him and want to marry him? i mean should he be banned from having visitors ? i mean, should he be visitors? i mean, should he be banned from having almost any j'oy 7 banned from having almost any joy ? well, i mean, that's a very joy? well, i mean, that's a very one, isn't it? no, i don't think he should barred from having visitors. and i think he is visitors. and i think if he is showing getting better, showing signs of getting better, of tackling the trauma that's led to whatever is him in his life to be such a violent offender. and there's lot of offender. and there's a lot of coverage levi balfour, coverage of, levi balfour, about his childhood . his father died

his childhood. his father died when was ten years of age. when he was ten years of age. he's questionable he's really questionable with his . so actually, you his mother. so actually, you know, if he if is prepared to tackle of the things that have gone on his childhood, that have led to look him led to that look good for him ultimately violent ultimately don't want violent angry ' ultimately don't want violent angry , dangerous people living angry, dangerous people living in want them to in this country. we want them to be rehabilitated. however for those poor families answering question that you've just put to me terrible , this being me terrible, this is all being tracked and it's not tracked up again. and it's not just three women he killed. just the three women he killed. it's he attempted it's the woman that he attempted murder as well who survived and. two other women that he tried to what he a number of things. what he did a number of things. so convicted those, so he wasn't convicted of those, actually, say , the actually, i should say, of the serious that did go serious allegations that did go to trial. so this is somebody who killed three people in three years attempted to kill someone else in that three year period years attempted to kill someone else als01at three year period years attempted to kill someone else also went ree year period years attempted to kill someone else also went on year period years attempted to kill someone else also went on trial period years attempted to kill someone else also went on trial for'iod and also went on trial for another serious attacks in another two serious attacks in that year as well. that three year period as well. a very dangerous person a very, very dangerous person looked on. thank you very much. as ever. it's always great to have the much have you on the show. much appreciated. the appreciated. jones i was the police crime commissioner. police and crime commissioner. hampshire that's hampshire right. okay that's just about impossible . but stay
