transactions are their own business and no one else is. but last week, someone close to me and his what i trust 100% went into the bank to withdraw a few thousand pounds in cash. the teller started asking questions specific about what the money was for . the person close to me was for. the person close to me said that it was sort of private family matter. said that it was sort of private family matter . the teller made family matter. the teller made plain that that was not a good enough answer. that person close to me then said it was for a purchase. the teller asked, and i'm not making this up. is that the truth .7 quinn told. it was the truth? quinn told. it was the truth? quinn told. it was the truth? quinn told. it was the truth . the teller then said, the truth. the teller then said, if we find out you're lying, we can block your account . let me can block your account. let me make clear that i am relating the experience of a law abiding taxpayer citizen who entered a high street bank branch with passport and other id in hand seeking to withdraw some hard earned savings only to be treated like a criminal . let's treated like a criminal. let's remember that official policy knows zero trust, which is to see the institutions, banks

included, have decided we the people are best treated as guilty of crime or crimes unknown until we prove to the satisfaction of those unaccountable institutions that we are innocent. i don't know how you react to that story, and if required, i will happily swear on a stack of bibles that it's the unalloyed truth . but it it's the unalloyed truth. but it shocks me to the core . remember shocks me to the core. remember when the idea of putting your money in a bank account was first and foremost about wanting the cash to be somewhere safe instead a shoebox under instead of in a shoebox under the remember when we the bed? remember when we maintained a simple trust in our high banks? how young we high street banks? how young we were, naive here and were, how naive here and elsewhere. banks are teetering on the brink of ruin again , just on the brink of ruin again, just like they did in 2008. the calamitous practises that made them tighter than practises that would , if you or i had attempted would, if you or i had attempted anything similar, have put us in jail so fast our feet would never have touched the ground . never have touched the ground. we're even addressed . far we're not even addressed. far less punished and stopped . less punished and stopped. rather, they are foundations built on sand or just shored up built on sand orjust shored up with more sand. governments kick

the can down the road. a new wrongdoer was ever held to account . millions of americans account. millions of americans lost their homes that year, the same year that so bankers get their bonuses as usual. now the overburden of bad debt made of money created out of nowhere and lent over and over again. now all that debt that caused the trouble back then has been allowed even bigger . allowed to grow even bigger. many are speculating that a final and catastrophic crash is coming for the banks, and maybe it is . but i ask you this given it is. but i ask you this given that banks are private businesses run by unelected private business people and that they are empowered to create money out of nothing , how and money out of nothing, how and why would they ever run out of that money unless it suited a grand narrative to have that happen? this steady disappearance of much that makes simple common sense to me is not limited to the activities of the wobbly, wobbly banks. it's about much more besides simple and obvious stuff. in my family, we can clearly see that food prices have gone up by a half at least, and in some cases more ,

and in some cases more, certainly not by the few% points officially attributed to inflow . sometimes the cost of our weekly shop has doubled , and weekly shop has doubled, and that's a fact. when we've moved into our house around six years ago.the into our house around six years ago. the standing order for our energy bill was about £200 a month. right now it's nudging £800 a month. our council tax has gone up by £1,000 per year and yet we've got another letter saying we would have to pay separately to have our garden rubbish collected. we've also to pay rubbish collected. we've also to pay separately to park our car on the road outside our house. the latest budget did nothing meaningfully to address any of it. not for us, not for anyone else. why? just as for a instance, does no government ever act to help those women who want to look after their own children at home full time? why is emphasis always on is the emphasis always on providing childcare childcare made as cheap as possible for those who need or want to take work outside the home? you might see in many cases that the system is deliberately

structured so that as many people as possible are left with no option but to seek work outside the home. if a roof is to be kept over the family's head. to be kept over the family's head . such measures driving head. such measures driving everyone into the market place to raise more tax revenue for the government , are always the government, are always predicated upon something else that makes no sense to me, which is to see the work of caring for children is always made among the lowest paid of all work by the lowest paid of all work by the government, always and only a way to make it financially preferable to put children the most precious element of our lives in the care of those paid the least to do so. why is the most important job of all not of caring for the next generation in the youngest years? what less than every other occupation when we have plummeting birth rates here in britain under in much of the west government has routinely declared that the solution the only solution indeedis solution the only solution indeed is more immigration . but indeed is more immigration. but why not make it financially advantageous for couples to have children and to look after them

themselves by ensuring one wage coming into the home is enough while the new tax breaks for families where one parent works and the other in the vast majority of cases , let's be majority of cases, let's be honest, the woman stays at home to look after the children. too few babies are being born here and in western countries all over the world and how the government respond by making the rule of full time mother the most deliberate , challenged and most deliberate, challenged and unattainable rule of all. where's the sense ? why does our where's the sense? why does our society pointedly look down on those women ? and again, let's be those women? and again, let's be honest, it is mostly women who want to dedicate their lives every day to caring for their own children and what rational universe is that progressive and what rational universe does that make sense ? i see there's no make sense? i see there's no sense anywhere. rising energy costs are blamed on russia . this costs are blamed on russia. this is palpable nonsense . energy is palpable nonsense. energy companies selling oil and gas are making bigger profits than even are making bigger profits than ever. there's also no shortage of oil and gas. look to the

middle east where oil trades at around $5 a bottle costs $5 a bottle to get off the ground . bottle to get off the ground. that's $5 for between 40 and 50 gallons. those oil rich states and the companies that get the oil out of the ground are simply making a killing more and more all the time. the so—called green revolution is powered by that same oil and gas and will be into a point in the future. so distant it's hardly worth looking for . the war we should looking for. the war we should all be paying close attention to is not just the one in ukraine, but that being waged all around us right now by greedy governments and their best friends. the trust transnational corporations against their own people to keep those people down. the powers that be have let it be known that maybe food shortages ahead this is at the same time as those same powers that we are going out of our way to harder for farmers to to make it harder for farmers to produce are produce food. why are governments west governments in the west harassing farmers and to harassing the farmers and to giving up their land and calling the hands instead of encouraging them to produce more food and

not less? this behaviour makes not less? this behaviour makes no sense to me. billionaires like bill gates and john kerry fly around the world in private jets. we all know that pound for pound private jets generate the most if it really was most emissions. if it really was about emissions , those about cutting emissions, those billionaires take billionaires would take the simple of stopping using simple step of stopping using private jets. but no, the response is the solution. they prefer is to make even more of those polluting flights so that they can preach against the use by the common folk of the much more efficient passenger planes. this makes no sense to me. by far the best way to help poor people is to enable them to lift themselves out of poverty so they can take care of themselves and raise healthy, educated , and raise healthy, educated, well—adjusted children instead . well—adjusted children instead. in the past three years, we've seen the greatest transfer of wealth from poor to rich in all of history. more recently, even those who had only recently elevated themselves out of generations of poverty and into the emergent middle classes are being actively impoverished once more by the dedicated and

deliberate actions of governments whose are being made harder to hold onto and harder to hit . food harder to hold onto and harder to hit. food and energy are deliberately being made ruinously expensive . if ruinously expensive. if a rational universe does any of that make sense ? unless, of that make sense? unless, of course, the presence of independent, healthy, educated , independent, healthy, educated, confident people is anathema to governments. nowadays i think of our government not as of the people, by the people, for the people, by the people, for the people, but rather as an enemy government and occupation. i see all that we are seeing after three years like no other, three years of harms deliberately inflicted or blatant attempts by governments under little whistles to cover up and otherwise distract from the consequences of their own actions. rather than by war in ukraine. i see the ever worsening hardship and relentless suffering of millions is caused by ideologically dnven is caused by ideologically driven wickedness , the looming driven wickedness, the looming threat of god knows what next. wherever they try to frighten us with next nuclear war, war with china, international terrorism. noticeably, we haven't had any international terrorism for

quite a while. will surely keep many on edge and ready to comply with whatever life and freedom diminishing nonsense is proposed . what does make sense to me is history. in june 1816, the french ship medusa set sail for senegal with 400 passengers and crew. the captain was an upper class in competent, granted his position on account of who he was rather than his ability. on the 2nd of july, the medusa ran aground off the west african coast. there was room in the lifeboats for just 250. the rest , at least 146 men and one woman. or put aboard a hastily assembled raft. the initial plan and promise was for the boats to. to the raft to safety. but after just a few miles, the ropes were cut. the poorest were literally cut adrift in the open sea with almost nothing . sea with almost nothing. tragically, but understand , in tragically, but understand, in those most dreadful of circumstance seas, the situation descended in the end into savage fighting and cannibal ism. by the time they were rescued , the time they were rescued, purely by chance, only 13 men

were left alive . the scandal was were left alive. the scandal was memorialised in the painting. the raft of the medusa by the french artist theodore jellicoe. a more blatant and shaming demonstration of the abandonment of the poor by the powerful or the powerful committed only to their own survival. even if it must mean the dehumanising debasement and sacrifice of those less fortunate is hard to imagine. it's all there to be seen on one vast 23 feet by 16 feet canvas. history has a great deal to teach us if we will only pay deal to teach us if we will only pay attention to it. it boils down to this. it's all happened before and it will keep happening until we see no . happening until we see no. well, that's my opinion, of course. and you're free to disagree. keep your tweets and emails coming throughout the show and you can email me at gb views at gbnews.uk. you can tweet me as well at gb news. i'll try to get

to your comments later in the show. a first time joining me tonight, senior member of the house of lords, not taylor. i've looked at her work and financial and business journalist jasmine bartels evening and welcome to you both. good evening. lord taylor, i'm assuming in difficulty they're not their own fault. and yet to me it seems that what we see are those in a position to help the powerful , position to help the powerful, the wealthy, just making their own lives better and easier and cutting adrift. i think you were right to mention history. one of the lessons of history is that we seldom learn the lessons from history. that's the problem. we have a widening gap between the have a widening gap between the have nots and the have nots. it's pity, you know. let's take the last budget. i'm a natural conservative. and yet it's almost like a socialist government. now, you mentioned motherhood and children. we've devalued motherhood . my wife devalued motherhood. my wife homeschooled children. that's where the value is. and i think

we've lost that value system and we've lost that value system and we don't learn the lessons from history . jasmine to me, it's history. jasmine to me, it's getting worse and worse though. i would see that you look at shortage of food and so the response is to cut farmland and farmers . you look at people farmers. you look at people struggling to heat their homes and yet energy companies are making fatter and fatter profits. bill gates and john kerry making more and more flights in the polluting private jets. it's a it's an inversion of everything that would , in of everything that would, in commonsense terms , be inspired. commonsense terms, be inspired. yes it is. you know, we feel i mean, again, we're talking about history. we feel like we've progressed . but actually, it's progressed. but actually, it's feeling rather like the middle ages. you know, with with as you were talking about the private jets, it makes me think of the reformation. what what tit martin luther over into starting off the reformation was the sale off the reformation was the sale of indulgences you know. so if you bought an indulgence if you were rich enough you could carry on sinning and still get to

heaven, apparently. well, i think of that with the carbon offsets and that's essentially, you what bill gates is you know what bill gates is saying. it's alright. i just saying. oh, it's alright. i just buy of carbon buy loads of those carbon offsets. so i can do what i like. ordinary people like. whereas ordinary people all right. now being stopped from going down the road with these 15 minute cities and as you say, just taking passenger jets, which are per person for less polluting . and the other less polluting. and the other thing about the pollution is not that i say pollution. the fact that i say pollution. the fact that only climate change is sort of an that's a questionable concept anyway. rivers are being polluted all over the place, you know, all sorts of pollution is happening and being ignored. but you climate change, climate change, you know that blind spot that everyone has drives me, you know , to distraction that people know, to distraction that people will talk about saving the planet and yet they won't put litter in the bin you to make sure that you cut a junction loop left or right and all you see is piles of rubbish that

people have flung out of the car windows and lot of those same people are driving to protests where they that they'll where they proclaim that they'll save totally . save the planet. yes, totally. absolutely then, you absolutely right. and then, you know, a wider scale, you know, on a wider scale, you know, on a wider scale, you know, recently you've you've mentioned, know, mentioned, you know, the problems silicon valley mentioned, you know, the proble now, silicon valley mentioned, you know, the proble now, silicon on valley mentioned, you know, the proble now, silicon valley .ey mentioned, you know, the proble now, silicon valley bank bank. now, silicon valley bank had millionaires as well. huge businesses , lots of people with businesses, lots of people with a lot of money in it. now, they should have had the first $250,000 covered. actually they've all been told, oh, don't worry, we'll cover the whole lot . whereas at the same time in east palestine, ohio , where you east palestine, ohio, where you had absolutely horrendous community destroyed. yeah community destroyed. yeah community destroyed. yeah community destroyed. pollution to the max, you know, poisoning, killing fish, killing, killing animals . they get $5 each. animals. they get $5 each. that's what they're being offered, essentially. having said that, we can't be too negative because, you know, we're living longer now . we're we're living longer now. we're inventing things that we just didn't think of even two years ago.the didn't think of even two years ago. the i.t. revolution we have to remain faithful, not fearful . i still say that we're living

inside the corpse of a wheel and that there's been plenty to eat. but jonah got out of the way after the break, which is upon us already . we take a look at us already. we take a look at actually happened at the us capitol building on the night of january 6th, 2021. see it in 3 minutes there's help for households. are you over state pension age? if your weekly income is below £182.60, or £278.70 if you live with a partner, you could be eligible for pension credit, even if you own your home or have savings. it's worth, on average, £3,500 a year and you could get help with heating bills and more, plus up to £900 in cost of living payments.

now. thank goodness you're back to kneel all over life . the to kneel all over life. the aftershocks of events in the us capitol building on the 6th of january 2021 continue to reverberate. most recently, fox television host tucker carlson has broadcast clips from among 40000 hours of security camera footage of the hours in question . while carlson said the images do not show an insurrection in progress, but rather most of the peaceful chaos the white house has reacted by condemning this false depiction of the unpaid precedented, a violent attack . precedented, a violent attack. joining me now to discuss the

images is journalist and democrat strategist robert wiener, who was also director of pubuc wiener, who was also director of public affairs during the clinton and bush administration . good evening, robert. thank you for joining . good evening, robert. thank you forjoining me. it's a pleasure, neal, to be with you. and thank you for having me . you and thank you for having me. you know, tucker's cherry picking is ludicrous. the democrats and the entire country have had all of the clips showing the violence , the clips showing the violence, which is a reason for a thousand people being arrested , 150 people being arrested, 150 convictions already. the most in history in any one political eventin history in any one political event in the united states is history. and so five capitol police dead as a result of this violence and eyes gouged out and heart attacks and just a horrible situation for anyone who believes in democracy . so who believes in democracy. so for tucker carlson to cherry pick those the democrats , you pick those the democrats, you know, it's my committee , jim know, it's my committee, jim jordan and colmer are chairs of

my old committee, the house government operations committee, now called house government oversight. i was there for six and a half years when you to do is to have a war room. neil we need have a war room and simply play need have a war room and simply play clips that the public play the clips that the public has seen. everybody has has already seen. everybody has seen clips of the violence seen these clips of the violence because playing in because we have to be playing in response pick if response to just pick you up. if i can pick you up on some i can just pick you up on some of what you said, that is frequently said that five police officers of the officers were victims of the events as though they were directly the victims of violence died a direct result. is that died as a direct result. is that accurate? i understand for suicides in the aftermath . at suicides in the aftermath. at some point after the events and one one of the officers died, but the medical officers report said that he had died essentially of natural causes not caused by any physical injury . you're going to pick at injury. you're going to pick at the fact that these guys had after the fact reactions to this horrible event that was the worst they've ever experienced in their lives. if you ever listen to their testimony, five

were dead within a day . that's were dead within a day. that's actually the fact . and it was actually the fact. and it was a direct response to the to the events of the capitol . and if events of the capitol. and if you look at the clutch, what are you look at the clutch, what are you going to tell me? you didn't look at the clips. you didn't see the bashing of the windows. the gal going in, ready to shoot out. and so, of course, you were shot. you didn't see any of that when happened. you didn't see when it happened. you didn't see this for hours and this going on for hours and hours. you didn't see the republican running the republican senators running the other after they were making other way after they were making fun of the first way. did fun of the first way. we did see, you know, i doesn't you didn't of course i did didn't see that? of course i did see. so i did see pfleger own eyes. what i did see was footage offered up by tucker carlson that did undeniably show a different a different sequence of events or a different take. you know, it did seem to be people in many cases milling around with security forces in their immediate presence, not seeming to be doing much about it. the so—called cunanan shaming. he didn't seem to me he didn't seem to be doing enough around before they shoot the

gun. what are you talking about , president? by who described the events as the greatest threat to them? think i got to threat to them? i think i got to say, you got your head in the sand. if you're saying milling around those cherry pick clips are the are the real deal. they're the real deal. it's they're not the real deal. it's everyone anyone can anyone can pick versions of footage like that to reflect the point of view that they would like. see president biden described as the president . malcolm with robert president. malcolm with robert lincoln. how was the like the rest of the play? it was great. president biden described the events as the greatest threat to democracy in the us since the civil war. was that fair to say 7 civil war. was that fair to say ? yes, because you have 150 republicans still to this day that want to claim i don't think they believe it. they're scamming the pollsters but want to claim that the election was figged to claim that the election was rigged despite the fact that 64 judges and all the trump judges, by being disbarred. by the way, are being disbarred. now way, for making now too, by the way, for making the i there was no the cases. i said there was no election rigging for any. this has the tape in georgia fined me 11,007 and 80 votes and come on,

guys, you just won more than we need. and you can change the result. that's on tape from trump . fascinating testimony trump. fascinating testimony from you there, robert rubin, thank you very much for joining me this evening. thank you very much for joining me this evening . very me this evening. very illuminating. thank you for that . i'm joined now by political commentator and author glenn beck for an alternative take. good evening. good evening. glenn beck . good to see you. glenn beck. good to see you. i don't have i don't have an alternative to take that. i mean, that's the first i heard that eyes were gouged out . i that eyes were gouged out. i must say that was used to me also. that's not that's not true. and you're exactly right about the five officers. i mean, look , i'm not here to defend the look, i'm not here to defend the january six people any any of them. i was on the air two days before saying , do not go to the before saying, do not go to the caphol before saying, do not go to the capitol. don't bad things will happen. and it was only common

sense. so the people that broke windows and were , you know, windows and were, you know, causing mayhem and wishing people harm, those people should be in jail. full force of the law should be used fair , just law should be used fair, just like the full force of the law should have been imposed with people who were involved in the blm riots . there were some were blm riots. there were some were people that actually had something to say. and wanted to be seen. and they were peaceful . others burned at the cities to the ground. the ones that were peaceful should have been let go and held as peaceful citizens protesting as it's legal. the others should have gone to jail. there should not be a double standard for here i mean, this this is the kind of insanity that i mean, i don't even know this clown who you had on, but it for the cry to be we're only

going to believe what we show you and not he even referenced the tower did senator running. well if i take 10 seconds so showing him in the hallway running and i leave out the 30 seconds before and the 30 seconds before and the 30 seconds after. you can make the case that he was by himself running like a little girl. but if you open that up to show the whole thing on both sides , you whole thing on both sides, you see the senators were being told, get out, go. he wasn't alone. he was alone . in those 4 alone. he was alone. in those 4 seconds. glenn is also it's the story that won't go away, is it not? i think it's endless. the interesting that the reverberations keep on coming . reverberations keep on coming. neil, i just adore you. i mean, then watching you and just in your last segment, people , this your last segment, people, this is not left versus right anymore. this is people looking at the elites and saying, you

are you're not reflecting my interest at all. this won't go away. and they've changed it from. and i've talked to tucker several times about this off air. it was never about is this peaceful or is this not peaceful? that's not the point. there were peaceful people there, but now they're trying to say, no, it was all this. that's not the argument. the argument is , why did this happen the way is, why did this happen the way it did? there are several people that are believed to be fbi plants like ray epps is one of them who was on the most wanted list, who is seen in video tape after videotape organiser using encouraging inci siding and he was taken off the wanted list and then excused . it seems apart and then excused. it seems apart from anything else. and it seems to me that we seem to skip over

the fact that it's 40000 hours of footage and it's a relatively brief segments of being shown by either side . true objectivity either side. true objectivity would depend would depend almost on seeing what's on the rest of the 40000 hours of footage before you could see categorically whether it was a depiction of violence or peace or not. sure. he is saying, or not. sure. and he is saying, you know , you're just how is the you know, you're just how is the rest of the plate, mrs. lincoln? it was fine. well, if we had videotape of the hallway of the presidential box , of the stage presidential box, of the stage doon presidential box, of the stage door, of bar, next door of the alleyway, we'd be able to see that booth was not alone . we'd that booth was not alone. we'd be able to see how that all happened. we'd be able to see, did somebody leave that door open or was that propped open for them? how did this whole thing happen? what he's asking you to say is just look at the presidential box, see what happened. no, there is more to

the story and this is so i don't recognise my country anymore. neil and it kills me to say that l, neil and it kills me to say that i, i love my country. i don't think that we're exceptional because we're better than everybody else. we're exceptional because we've had an idea. and a lot of those ideas came from scotland . we have an came from scotland. we have an idea being free and judging people not by titles or their position or their money. that's all going away . america is being all going away. america is being lost and the world should tread more. you shouldn't tremble. you're losing the america that you've known maybe for the last 20 years because we are not america . i don't know who we america. i don't know who we are, but our ideals are. declan passion of independence. that all men are created equal and that they all have rights and we should treat justice, should be blind . that justice isn't blind

blind. that justice isn't blind here anymore. i'm simply glenn listening to rob wiener and then listening to rob wiener and then listening to rob wiener and then listening to the contrast between the two accounts would seem to suggest that it is an incomplete story so far and a complete version of events is yet to be told. and i do find that i yet to be told. and i do find thati do yet to be told. and i do find that i do find it challenging that i do find it challenging that any reporter, be it tucker carlson or anybody else, is being described white being described by the white house as lacking house as, you know, as lacking all credibility that should all credibility that you should be and that you should be off. i find that very strange take. we are in deep trouble in america , are in deep trouble in america, the deep state and the world economic forum. all of this stuff that you are very well aware of is alive , very well and aware of is alive, very well and destroying about 70% of the american population , calling american population, calling them terrorists . glenn, i'm them terrorists. glenn, i'm going to have to go to a break here on this side of the atlantic. it's a pleasure to see you. we'll pick up this conversation at another time and hear about it. thank you, hear more about it. thank you, glenn thank bless glenn beck. thank you. god bless

. after the break, liam halligan joins as we discuss what the fall valley bank fall of the silicon valley bank could us here in the uk. could mean to us here in the uk. see you in 3 minutes

welcome back to the little of our life . is another financial our life. is another financial crash about to sweep the world? that's the question many are asking in the wake of recent bank collapses, including silicon valley bank, the new york's signature bank followed by national bank, by the swiss national bank, having step to save having to step in to save lending giant credit suisse. all the usual suspects have stepped up to say all's well and nothing to see here but just what's going on. joining me now to contemplate what may happen next is own economist liam is gb news own economist liam halligan. good evening, liam . halligan. good evening, liam. evening name . what happened to evening name. what happened to the banks? liam and is it just a wobble or is it the beginning of the end ? it's certainly a wobble the end? it's certainly a wobble now. this is most serious wobble

to the global financial system , to the global financial system, not so much since the 2008 financial crisis , but since the financial crisis, but since the 2011 12 eurozone crisis . as 2011 12 eurozone crisis. as you'll remember that when the euro was in genuine danger of breaking up, that sent shockwaves across the global financial system . it's financial system. it's a combination of things, neal the global economy was absolutely hammered by lockdown , an hammered by lockdown, an unprecedented fall in gdp. gross mastic products in countries across the world. then on top of that, you had the huge shock of war in ukraine, which has roiled global commodity markets, led to big spikes in the of gas and oil, which remain hugely important to the global economy. supply chain scattered across the world, food prices spiking . the world, food prices spiking. big inflation, the most serious inflation in 40 years in both us, uk and across mainland europe. and then the third big

thing is that in response to that, inflation in central banks around the world, not least the mighty us federal reserve and our own bank of england have rapidly raised interest rates. they were slow off the blocks, particularly in the bank of england. they kept saying inflation. i worry about it. it's going to be transitory. they were warning about it all, talking nonsense. of course talking nonsense. but of course we talking nonsense. now we weren't talking nonsense. now we've had ten increases in interest rates in a row in the uk from half a percentage point at the start of last year to 4% now. they could be more to come. and all these things have seriously spooked global financial markets. and i'm particularly certain types of banks that invested heavily in government bonds. and when those government bonds. and when those government bonds. and when those government bonds rates go up, the value of those government bonds falls. the banks balance sheets look a lot weaker. all those things. and then an increase in suspicion among investors, among traders , and

investors, among traders, and particularly among commentators that those regular actions that were put in place after the last seismic collapse of our banking system in 28, which rocked the world economy many businesses livelihoods have yet to recover from that. what's the regulation 7 from that. what's the regulation ? it was put in place after that wall street crash style reverse . so in global fortunes now , was . so in global fortunes now, was that regulation really all that good? or was it watered down behind the scenes by powerful financial vested interests ? it financial vested interests? it seems it . financial vested interests? it seems it. i've financial vested interests? it seems it . i've got i've got the seems it. i've got i've got the adjustment bottles here with me as well. jasmine how do you react to what liam is seeing? what's your take on, say, silicon valley bank, credit suisse ? yes. well, you know, suisse? yes. well, you know, i agree with everything, liam , but agree with everything, liam, but i would add that are we are looking at two at a time where, for example, the fca, the financial conduct authority has told us that it's not a good

idea to have more than £10,000 in our bank accounts. now we are covered up to £85,000 by the financial services compensation scheme. but it's interesting that the fca say, well , it's that the fca say, well, it's probably not great to have more than £10,000. i mean, that's how you should go and invest it elsewhere. quite right. but you know, i think a lot of people are wondering now. i mean, you mentioned in your monologue about banks asking what you're doing with your mind, why are you taking your money out and what wanting to do what would you wanting to do with i know a lot more with it? i know quite a lot more people are using cash people who are using cash now because not they're not because they're not they're not keen digital. but keen using the digital. but there's lot of people are there's a lot of people who are in life . generally, if you fail in life. generally, if you fail to plan , you plan fail. so i to plan, you plan to fail. so i want to know, yes, it's regulation. but what about the regular does liam regular stores? what does liam have them? what have to say about them? what were at the wheel . i were they asleep at the wheel. i think the post 2008 regulation was drastically watered down. it wasn't nearly as ambitious as it should have been . it took over

should have been. it took over a decade to implement some of the uk's main regulations, split . uk's main regulations, split. the domestic regular banks , high the domestic regular banks, high street banks, the kind of banks used ordinary firms and households where deposits are guaranteed up to a certain point, splitting them up from the investment banks that do the high rolling, high risk , high rolling, high risk, massively leveraged investments and investment in, part of which is magnified by the use of huge debt. is magnified by the use of huge debt . those two things is magnified by the use of huge debt. those two things must surely be split up, but in many parts of the uk banking system and the us banking system , and the us banking system, they're still together. so the investment banking guys, they have every incentive to take huge risks because they know that in the end to secure the deposits of mom and pop, as we say, of ordinary people and businesses, the government will have to bail them out. look there's a really, really important academic in the us. at stanford called and that's at massey . she's a fabulous write massey. she's a fabulous write says she wrote a book called the bankers new clothes. i highly

recommend it. she called this speech situation and this credit suisse she calls them suisse situation. she calls them a hostage style situation. neal, in other words , the state, the in other words, the state, the us. has to bail out silicon valley bank, the swiss , the valley bank, the swiss, the european regulator , the regular european regulator, the regular actually authorities had to bail out csfb because a lot of these banks are simply still too big to fail . banking system is too to fail. banking system is too concentrated . and i keep hearing concentrated. and i keep hearing british government ministers , i british government ministers, i keep hearing them say that the uk subsidiary of asb of silicon valley bank was bailed out at no cost to the taxpayer. the prime minister even ruled it out and his list of reasons to trade achievements . that's nonsense. achievements. that's nonsense. there is tax payer involvement in the bailout of that bank , not in the bailout of that bank, not least because the investors in that bank and the bank itself, their investments have been redeemed . they've been made redeemed. they've been made whole, as they say , paul. so whole, as they say, paul. so there is certainly central bank

funding in the bailouts that are going on at the moment. and in the end that will turn into government funding . or it could government funding. or it could very easily. so it's not right to say that taxpayers are the hook for this. and i worry, yeah, we had a huge collapse in 2008. we had a near miss in 2011, and we've just had a lockdown increasing . people are lockdown increasing. people are asking, was that really the right thing to do if there's another banking collapse soon? i worry that a lot of ordinary folk are going to lose faith in our political. i'm going to have to jump in the room because i'm just losing it all the clever people who meant to make all this complex stuff work decently. i'm just being told i'm being told i'm running out of here. always always. of time here. always always. your is valuable and your insight is valuable and vital so thank you once vital to me. so thank you once again for making time for me. i've to because of i've only got to because of a break after which we meet another extraordinary great c in 3 minutes

the like you've never seen here we are together again. neil oliver live . every week i take oliver live. every week i take comfort and inspiration from those who don't just face down the worst life has to throw at them, but also find the strength to help others in the same predicament. my great britain tonight is cancer survivor adele connor from liverpool who is now diverting her energies into helping others cope with the effects of chemotherapy and other treatments. adele joins me now. good evening, adele , i you now. good evening, adele, i you okay? i'm good, thanks. tell me, first of all, about your diagnosis and treatment . i was diagnosis and treatment. i was diagnosed and i think it was november 20, 20 and i underwent six months of and chemo therapy and surgery . and then i had an. and surgery. and then i had an. three weeks of radiation and

what was it? you know test has inspired this this plan that you've put into to help others cope with the same set of circumstances that you went through . i think one of the through. i think one of the reasons for me putting it together was a love for most of the chemotherapy. you come across different . we call them across different. we call them obstacles as opposed, such as obviously you lose your hair illusion , your eyebrows, things illusion, your eyebrows, things like that . and so marketing type like that. and so marketing type when you go on to buy these things. i just found that it was so expensive, so like, it's like the zoom in maybe on cancer patients eyelashes, things like thatis patients eyelashes, things like that is so expensive so i just got speaking to women who've gone through it and obviously found better products and a cheaper , you know, a lot cheaper cheaper, you know, a lot cheaper . and then i just put together the baskets . what i found that the baskets. what i found that helped me. and then donated them

to the breast unit and so all the women. so what what typically is in those baskets and really, how are you able to raise the funds necessary to keep it all going ? well, i've keep it all going? well, i've done. a go for a go for page myself. so a raised a 1500s and then the charity in, the linda mccartney unit got involved and they donated obviously a large amount of to money keep it going. and so basically mean at the moment, you know, there's a lot of money there to keep it going and then whatever i can raise myself , i'll keep it raise myself, i'll keep it going. but i didn't just donate to the breast unit. i donated also to blood cancer and children with cancer. so it's done really well . and one inside done really well. and one inside is things that would help us think there's a eyelashes and

there's eyebrows and ginger. it helps with like nausea and humbugs, ginger biscuits and tea, tree oils to help with your skin , things like that. so skin, things like that. so there's quite a lot in them . there's quite a lot in them. what what response are you getting from patients and also from from the nurses and the others are actually in the centres that you have that providing the baskets to about. doesit providing the baskets to about. does it really , really good does it really, really good feedback to be honest with you as a lot of you know thank you's and things like other and of health people that actually you know people upset how much the baskets of health and you know it's everything that will help them to even really close those that eyelashes and things like that eyelashes and things like that so they sounds really good feedback i'm really really yeah how does it how has this project the energy that you've been expanding, how does it make you feel is it is it part of helping

you and your and your positivity and your your comeback? i suppose , yes. it and your your comeback? i suppose , yes . it definitely suppose, yes. it definitely helps. i mean, to make good out of the bad situation . you know, of the bad situation. you know, my mum's always me. you can make good of anything. and i think that's one of the reasons that i like doing it. and, you know, i'll do all kinds of health. any anyone going through chemotherapy. it's not, you know , obviously just women and men as well, children . so, you know, as well, children. so, you know, it doesn't makes it makes me feel better about something because as come out of it and is this is it something that you're going to continue with, you know, have you embarked on a new phase? are you going to be active in this way in helping your your your fellow travellers ? well at the moment i go into the mccall me once a month and make the baskets and obviously because they kind up loads there. so we do it at the moment, you know, on a monthly basis. what am . i haven't really

basis. what am. i haven't really thought too much into, you know, how little progress or sure it's just more about, you know, the funding and things like we'll just do it until the funding runs out. and you know, maybe i'll sell them at a, you know, a lower rate of what i do , you lower rate of what i do, you know. so you're an absolute inspiration and definitely a great britain. thank you for joining me. thank you. coming we'll be discussing scotland's future . see you in 3

and highly political. the snp's chief executive has resigned with immediate effect. it follows reports peter murrell, who is also nicola sturgeon's husband, was facing the threat of a vote of no confidence following a row over the party's membership numbers. in a statement, he said while there was no intent to mislead , he was no intent to mislead, he accepts that's been the outcome . michael russell will oversee the operation of the snp headquarter as in the interim and gary lineker has returned to match the day presenting after being taken off air last week for comments he made about the government's migration policy. mr. lineker compared the language used to launch the new illegal migration bill with that of 1930s germany. he's covering this evening's f.a. of 1930s germany. he's covering this evening's fa. cup quarter final between manchester city and burnley , and he's being and burnley, and he's being joined by fellow alan shearer, who stood by him and refused to take part in last week's show . take part in last week's show. tv online and derby plus radio

is gb news now with back to . neil thank you, tatiana . now the thank you, tatiana. now the announcement of nicola sturgeon successor as leader of the scottish national party is just over a week away . but as over a week away. but as recently as last week , two of recently as last week, two of the candidates for the role had to take the step of writing to the party's chief executive to demand a fair and transparent vote . the matter. one vote. the matter. one commentator suggested, and i quote , the snp's instinctive quote, the snp's instinctive paranoia is finally devouring the party from the inside out . the party from the inside out. joining me to rate the party's performance in the run up to a moment of destiny are former snp councillor austin sheridan and former snp member and friend of the show, lieutenant colonel stewart crawford. good evening to you both , gentlemen. good

to you both, gentlemen. good evening. neil austin , i'll start evening. neil austin, i'll start with you. first of all, if i may. why the disinclination on the part of chief executive peter muddle to confirm the number of members the party has surely that's information that is vital to candidates in an and in an election race. yes, new every single candidate , not just every single candidate, not just two of them, but every candidate . the dust and for the membership numbers to be published . and two of them wrote published. and two of them wrote to whoever is actually up to the national executive committee. it's really information about national sexual want to fund and then there was a national executive as long as the least i do agree. and that fundamental the candidate should have been told and the size of the electorate then of over the election . and it seems to me election. and it seems to me like it was a bit of a own goal and an unfortunate but i got support from those being honest as well and i'm glad the well what i find very unfortunate was that there was at the head of

press money and the scottish parliament then and then found themselves an untenable position when he was asked to report on numbers that were that should never have happened. i think it is deeply sad that he felt he had to resign and i was trying to cover the executive since 1999. however i to cover the executive since 1999. howeveri hope to cover the executive since 1999. however i hope that after what happened, it is only correct that he does tend to this resignation. the figures released most in the figures finally released revealed a 40% fall in membership . it's not fall in membership. it's not a ringing endorsement of the of ms. sturgeon or the snp, is it? yeah.i ms. sturgeon or the snp, is it? yeah. i mean, the snp had a massive boom of members joining up interviews and for in and in fact in the year. and then what happenedis fact in the year. and then what happened is after that over deals and numbers that and the deplete and understand that as the look at it social media that many members didn't realise that the and that the memberships that lapsed and they have joined the party. one of the one of the

other key things that we should know about the signal that was released as well as the figure of over 70,000 members. those are figures. we are eligible to vote the election and they do vote at the election and they do not count before that joined and the day after the subject resigned. so the number of snp members may actually be higher and i suspect it will be higher because i've seen many people joining the party and i would support and the voluntary publication of membership and other ordinate basis now believes that at the same leadership candidate has to make to the an the transparency and openness is always key and democracy and we should and we should be able to publish the membership figures and all that bafis membership figures and all that basis and that would resolve any of these issues moving forward. he is he has the transparency and democracy. absolutely lieutenant colonel stewart crawford, of the crawford, a former member of the snp . may i ask you why and when snp. may i ask you why and when you the party? yes, indeed. you left the party? yes, indeed. i joined the . party

you left the party? yes, indeed. ijoined the . party in you left the party? yes, indeed. i joined the . party in 1998 when i joined the. party in 1998 when i joined the. party in 1998 when i was still a serving army officer. and i went on what was known then as the party confidential list held at party headquarters , and that list was headquarters, and that list was full of people like myself who are in positions of public service, where participation in the snp or was frowned upon . and the snp or was frowned upon. and so it was a confidential list. but i then left the army campaign for the snp , became campaign for the snp, became their junior defence campaign for the snp, became theirjunior defence spokesman their junior defence spokesman for the blink of an eye. to be honest, and then left in 2002. and i left in 2002 for a variety of reasons . but one of the of reasons. but one of the reasons was that i didn't feel that as a sort of, shall we reasons was that i didn't feel that as a sort of , shall we say, that as a sort of, shall we say, fortunate , privately educated , fortunate, privately educated, middle class, glasgow boy with kids at private school . i was a kids at private school. i was a bit of a fish out of water at that time . of course, things may that time. of course, things may have changed, not who would be your of leader.

have changed, not who would be your of leader . were you in a your of leader. were you in a position to affect that? but i mean, there's a there's a difficult question i have already called the result of leadership election and i called it before all the current and resignations happened but my perception is that although humza yousaf is the if you like the establishment contain you with the candidate he will not get sufficient votes the first round of voting no i wasn't. it won't go over 50% of the votes and it will go to a second round. ash regan who is the, if you like , third candidate will you like, third candidate will probably drop off at that point and then her second preference votes under the single transferable vote proportional representation methodology of voting . well, probably the bulk voting. well, probably the bulk of them will go to kate forbes . of them will go to kate forbes. and on that basis , kate forbes and on that basis, kate forbes will probably take the leadership. but by a whisker, i would say i don't think it's a

it's not a done deal by any stretch of the imagination . stretch of the imagination. thank you, stuart . what would be thank you, stuart. what would be your prediction? what are you seeing here? you backing ? yeah, seeing here? you backing? yeah, i'm back at competitions and to be the next two out of the snp is only candidate that is committed to equality . is only candidate that is committed to equality. i'm keeping my left the progressive policies at the heart of government and the snp one election after election . and i election after election. and i do believe that the context low because we should take nothing for granted the snp as a broad church of people and it's going to be interesting to see the results, although back in homes on 100% at once as elected, whoever that may be and almost accepted as democrats. and so that's it added to our independence of scotland. that's what our membership will expect. so given she's involved and . the so given she's involved and. the tone against me, as always, austin ash regan has as claimed that supporters of humza yousaf

are being bused into his hustings her words, not mine . hustings her words, not mine. kate forbes has a strange usually questioned his abilities in any of his roles at transport justice , most recently health . justice, most recently health. and he has your confidence . and he has your confidence. well, actually, you can see there's lots of things about affected members of paying attention. i think that would reflect on the ballot. and i see you can all she wants to do is have meetings about things but is very is not to come forward very substantial policies overall when it comes to brief humza yousaf is hard politics on questions of money so he's at the queensferry crossing and ahead ahead of schedule on the budget and then and then for example when it comes to is health peace now the only part of the uk that hasn't had of the of the uk that hasn't had any captioned the face of any she captioned the face of the paper. she is not to has was therefore subject to note and that brief. so i think all the talking to those in government i'm not saying that everything's been perfect you set out to form this kind of a past in other

parts the uk and the westminster government or under on the welsh government. so that's why it almost my confidence. has almost has my confidence. it has had tough time and he has had a tough time and he has passed the obviously since passed the test. obviously since well, a week on monday will see that result one way or another. lieutenant stuart lieutenant colonel stuart crawford sheridan , crawford and austin sheridan, snp's past future you both snp's past on future you both for your time this evening judgement is that election contest one that captures you'd imagination at all. well not in a big way if i'm honest. you know i it does bother that i'm not keen . on ofcom to say humza not keen. on ofcom to say humza yusuf. so i mean, i'm not keen on that speaks volumes. you can't remember his name? no, it does, rather it doesn't. that actually. yeah, i'm not thrilled by the fact that he. well by his ideals and the fact that he would continue what's been happening up until now bifurcate for. well, look. tarlov what do you make of forbes is devoutly true christian and this is open about that. well how would you

feel about her being judged continually questioned continually questioned continually about what that might mean for her stance on various and yet humza yousaf who is describes himself as a proud muslim , not questioned in muslim, is not questioned in relation to his islamic faith. well leadership is about action, not just position. i don't know, kate , but she is a christian and kate, but she is a christian and she her mind. and so for that reason, i would support but a party can't even tell you how many members it has you have to really question whether they can do anything for scotland but kate forbes at least speaks even though she knows it damages her. but at least open about it. though she knows it damages her. but at least open about it . just but at least open about it. just what do you say? what me as a as a scot . living what do you say? what me as a as a scot. living in what do you say? what me as a as a scot . living in scotland for. a scot. living in scotland for. for as long as i can remember, the snp has paid precious little attention . what's actually attention. what's actually happening in scotland and has been, i would say, disastrous for scotland across the board . for scotland across the board. and i fear that regardless of who actually takes up the reins , it will just be more of the same relentless pursuit of

separation . well, exactly. and separation. well, exactly. and thatis separation. well, exactly. and that is , you know, as you said, that is, you know, as you said, more of the same. i would like to see something very different. and anything else, it and apart from anything else, it has affected us in england . i has affected us in england. i mean, seen through the mean, we have seen through the whatsapp much of whatsapp messages that much of the of the lockdown, lockdown, lockdown was because of nicola sturgeon . we're going to sturgeon. we're going to lockdown. we're going to do this or to have three or we're going to have three masks you know, in masks on. oh, we you know, in england, better four england, we better have four masks. and it's been extremely damaging for us the whole thing, i and i think is divisive and unhelpful so sir alex unhelpful so what sir alex ferguson, should choose him ferguson, they should choose him . x—men manager , he . the x—men united manager, he sold them out. i'm going to move on from that. remarkable. i'm what about the you know, the fact that nicola sturgeon first minister stepping down very abruptly . her husband, chief abruptly. her husband, the chief executive of scottish national party , quickly stepping down. party, quickly stepping down. i suspect that more things will out to show she stepped down in a very odd timing , a step down a very odd timing, a step down so abruptly . a very odd timing, a step down so abruptly. did you regard nicola sturgeon as she was often described as a formidable

politician or not? there's a difference between being a politician and a state person. and i think she's more politics. and i think she's more politics. and she was very good at making sure the attention was on her. she wasn't really grooming anybody to follow her. and we can see that now . none of the can see that now. none of the three really have the personality that has. but i think she's left scotland in a mess , frankly. absolutely. mess, frankly. absolutely. i agree. and as you say, you know, it speaks volumes that i do think of the names. and what about ashley and are you even aware of existence prior her aware of her existence prior her stepping down over the over the gender reform bill debacle? you know, frankly, i wasn't not particularly. and, you know , is particularly. and, you know, is it makes you know, you guys make a very good point that it was a very sudden stepping down of nicola sturgeon and her husband came very quickly. of course after jacinta ardern. you know, you almost wonder if they'd been chatting on the phone go, oh i'm sick of you know some sick of this, you know for some reason wondering reason and you're wondering who's next. we who's going to be next. we haven't anybody recently, haven't had anybody recently, but know, people have but you know, some people have

been suggested very much doubt that jacinda ardern, nicola sturgeon's number ready to sturgeon's phone number ready to hand. i would probably have to google first put top google her first to put on top another after which another break now after which we'll discussing the phantom we'll be discussing the phantom cat harassing the pets of cat shiva harassing the pets of . kent see you .

in three on the camilla tominey show this sunday morning from 930. but i'm not going to cut the additional rate of tax today. mr. speaker . rate of tax today. mr. speaker. i'm going to abolish it altogether. six months after delivering his own mini—budget, liz truss is chancellor . kwasi liz truss is chancellor. kwasi kwarteng will be giving me his reaction to this week's budget . reaction to this week's budget. you won't want to miss it. reaction to this week's budget. you won't want to miss it . all you won't want to miss it. all that and more with me, camilla tominey this sunday morning from 930 . welcome back . and no one 930. welcome back. and no one can accuse me of not covering a broad range of topics . as will

broad range of topics. as will swiftly be evidenced cat owners in kent are reporting a mystery attacker targeting the pets and shaving off the farm. the bizarre incidents have been being reported since before christmas and are occurring in such numbers that a map of kent centred on the medway area is having to be updated daily. joining me to provide more details is natasha macphee from charity animals lost found. good evening natasha . this after is evening natasha. this after is truly bizarre what goes on in some people's heads . honestly, i some people's heads. honestly, i have no now as very bizarre indeed. we've come across cases where people have killed cats before. we've dealt with those . before. we've dealt with those. but this is something completely entirely different. it's not normal behaviour. put it that way . how many normal behaviour. put it that way. how many ? i mean, i've way. how many? i mean, i've obviously made plain that there's several cases. how many have been since before christmas

7 have been since before christmas ? and there's been over 30 cases that we've carried , some that we that we've carried, some that we had to discount because we're not entirely sure if that was an attack or not. and but yeah, there's definitely been over 30 cases so far. i mean, it's an unanswerable question in a sense, but i feel duty bound to ask, is it one person? do we think or is it a it's a gang? i don't want to say i have no idea . i can't even answer that question myself. it's such a and such a broad place, different places all over the place. but there are numerous where they're quite concentrated . so i could quite concentrated. so i could potentially say that one person is doing these ones , but in all is doing these ones, but in all honesty, there's everywhere . honesty, there's everywhere. what effect does it have on the animals? i mean, are any of them, wouldn't it a result of what's happening to them or is just the trauma of abuse? i think the trauma itself is worse than just the shaven of, say, a few cats have come back with a few cats have come back with a few scrapes. it looks like it's

been done with an electric shaven been done with an electric shaver, and that's what i'm putting it into as an shaver that's actually being used to catch them . some of them are catch them. some of them are that traumatise . they're having that traumatise. they're having to be taken to the vet on numerous occasions because they're holding their urine . they're holding their urine. they're not going to the toilet because they're so scared. some of the are completely distraught because they get near their own cat riccardo when in fact, the cat riccardo when in fact, the cat was the loose cat ever cat was the most loose cat ever before and suppose you know the cat overstates me. i'm more of a more of a dog person myself, but i'm perfectly fond of cats and i imagine cats themselves with a degree of dignity borne of pride in their appearance . but i in their appearance. but i presume that a partially shaven cat does not feel good , him or cat does not feel good, him or herself ? well, no . i don't know herself? well, no. i don't know if you've ever had your chest walk there, neil, but please, please . and it does grow back, please. and it does grow back, actually . so it's actually for actually. so it's actually for the cat and cats are very artistic in nature . they do like

artistic in nature. they do like the routine. so they're constant clean. in one area, it becomes a habit for them to constantly groom that area. and when cats are stressed sometimes they overcome themselves as well, which then causes sores which then causes more problems with then causes more problems with the skin , which then the vets the skin, which then the vets again . jasmine, the skin, which then the vets again .jasmine, are the skin, which then the vets again . jasmine, are you the skin, which then the vets again .jasmine, are you a dog again. jasmine, are you a dog person? do you know? i am a both. i love dogs, but i also love cats like you, you know? i mean, of course, you know, you're tempted to you're tempted to find there's something, you know , well, but really , know, well, late, but really, when you when you get down into it i mean is a traumatic it it i mean this is a traumatic it event for a much loved family pet. yeah and as you say you do you do wonder what's going through the mind to the person to a person or persons doing that. it's like, come you that. it's like, come on, you know, find yourself something a bit look what bit more positive. look what goes on in people's heads. i ask again, very strange. i'm more of again, very strange. i'm more of a dog person and i'm not trying to little evil. this is an to be little evil. this is an important be important issue. shouldn't be delayed. not don't delayed. it should not be. don't don't go. oh, sorry . i can

delayed. it should not be. don't don't go. oh, sorry. i can only apologise . what kind of. what apologise. what kind of. what kind of are you getting? any help from the police ? i know. i help from the police? i know. i know that you know the police are barely turning up for serious crime. are you getting cooperation from local cooperation from the local constabulary ? well, of course constabulary? well, of course they will log these the rspca. well, look , there's support, but well, look, there's support, but without the physical proof for evidence, there's nothing they can go on and is why we've can go on and this is why we've taken ourselves . log these taken upon ourselves. log these as much as we can and as as much as we can and evidence as much we can. but evidence as much as we can. but without proof, someone without physical proof, someone standing there with a sharp or on camera, there's nothing you can . i mean, i put it down to can do. i mean, i put it down to obviously some people dogs. obviously some people like dogs. some cats, some some people like cats, some people like rats. but these some of these animals are people's children. they're they live forever. animals you know, last last week, natasha , i don't know last week, natasha, i don't know if you're aware a cover story last week of a across a dog who had been neglected to the point where the claw on his paws had a twisted tongue back in and grown into soft pads off of his flesh

. to the extent that despite efforts by vets he had to be put down, he had to be destroyed . i down, he had to be destroyed. i just it never fails to disappoint me. how we ought to be we ought to be, to some extent, by how we treat the most vulnerable our children and animals and the mistreatment of cats and dogs is beyond the pale for me . you can always tell for me. you can always tell someone's character about how they treat animals . they like they treat animals. they like they treat animals. they like the animal or not. and i used to be a massive dog lover. but learning more about cats learn how complex they actually are . how complex they actually are. and i we obviously as an animal welfare organising action, we deal with a lot of cases where there's a lot of neglect, a lot of animals being left behind and no amount of animal neglect hardens to it every single time it hurts. it kicks you in the gut. like how how could you do that to such a defenceless little animal that looks up to

you for everything that they need. there is no excuse for you know, i'm a huge fan of on my instagram feed . i watch lots of instagram feed. i watch lots of these of animals and i mean , these of animals and i mean, basically, i can spend half an houn basically, i can spend half an hour, you know, watching all these. and there are, but my favourite ones are where they find a stray or one that's been harmed in some way and then they make it better and know this sort of before and after. i absolutely love those. but some occasionally they have ones with saying, oh, well, we had to put down and devastates . it's down and that devastates. it's terrible. yeah, i, i'm always i'm always mindful of the fact that know rehabilitation that the work it goes back to reinvest with dignity and that the reinvestment with dignity appues the reinvestment with dignity applies much to, you know, applies as much to, you know, humble and humble dog as it does to as it does to anything it does to anything else that's actually just something you said earlier. you said that cats are you use the word autistic in nature. and i understand exactly what mean by that . what in what you mean by that. what in that context what adjective

would you use to describe dogs if cats are autistic in nature are animals they love to party. most dogs are always ready to party. they're like siobhan and they're they're wagging, too, and happy, obviously , all dogs and happy, obviously, all dogs are some dogs are a lot reserved than others, but i've always put dogs as party animals. i have four dogs and i have eight cats. and if i say come on, then the cats would run a mile and the dog to jump in my face. so yeah, i mean, it's important . it's i mean, it's important. it's important to end on on on a serious note though, natasha , serious note though, natasha, it's an upsetting case. my sympathy goes out to every single one of the 30 odd people that have been affected by and i can only hope that whoever is perpetrating these events is, you know, makes mistake and is caught act as soon as caught in the act as soon as possible before you know, before before worse, before before it becomes worse, before they , know, they get into, you know, an appetite making it even more appetite for making it even more extreme. natasha thank you very much for time this evening much for your time this evening thank much . after the thank you so much. after the break now how the dutch farmers

protest party had a surprising victory in the week . see you victory in the week. see you shortly . there's help for households. are you over state pension age? if your weekly income is below £182.60, or £278.70 if you live with a partner, you could be eligible for pension credit, even if you own your home or have savings. it's worth, on average, £3,500 a year and you could get help with heating bills and more, plus up to £900 in cost of living payments.

welcome back. once more to nearly all of life, a new political party set up in support of protesting dutch farmers secured a shock victory in elections held in the country this week. just past the farmer citizen movement scooped 20% of the vote for seats in the upper house of. the dutch parliament voting to fight government plans to slash emissions and tackle livestock numbers . joining me to livestock numbers. joining me to consider the real implications of the result , ralph shaw consider the real implications of the result, ralph shaw hammer from webster, vienna private university. ralph, we've spoken before. good to see you. this is such an important subject . good such an important subject. good to see you . now it sounds like a

to see you. now it sounds like a victory is a victory, but it really help the farmers farmers . well, it is definitely a battle that was won the war is still raging on. but this was an important step and a step that i is having repercussions beyond the netherlands. we see now germany pushing back the outlawing of the combustion machine. don't forget that most politicians are very sensitive to changes in public opinion and what the result of the elections in the netherlands has shown. pubuc in the netherlands has shown. public opinion is shifting. it's 20, of course. it's not a majority. the green coalition in the netherlands got about the same number of votes , but the same number of votes, but the trend is in favour of. the farmers movement and politicians are going to react to this. so i think there will at least be an attempt by central attempt by the central governments compromise governments to find a compromise . the question is and we . the question now is and we have experienced this on the continent but you have experienced this in great britain as well. is a new party living up hype? can they

living up to the hype? can they now what they have now execute what they have promised promised during the campaign. let's hope that campaign. and let's hope that they can . i mean, as you see they can. i mean, as you see right off the top, it shows that the people are on a substantial proportion of the people have come out in support of the farmers. that's i mean, farmers. so that's the i mean, that's kettle of eviction. i that's the kettle of eviction. i make no secret the fact that make no secret of the fact that i am personally of opinion i am personally of the opinion i'm farmers in the the i'm behind farmers in the in the netherlands the netherlands and around the world. hundred, however , i have world. hundred, however, i have to say, i have heard that said that this new party is likely to compromise , is not as forcibly compromise, is not as forcibly opposed the nitrogen emissions story nor to the calling of the of the national health. and therefore nothing will change is therefore nothing will change is the is the truth in that assessment that there is some truth in that assessment. but i would not be that pessimist. we must not forget the dutch have a very unique political culture thatis very unique political culture that is built on the idea of

consensus. that is built on the idea of consensus . so even to form consensus. so even to form a citizen's movement, despite them being a new party founded in 2019, is still part of dutch political culture. so this idea, very much from the outside that they are going to be completely different. anybody that there has before , i think is has been before, i think is asking a little bit too much. it's a step in the right direction. think they now direction. i think they must now build sympathy that they build on the sympathy that they have around world. have garnered around the world. i who support i think also those who support them with you on this, them i'm fully with you on this, neal them i'm fully with you on this, neal, keep in mind neal, but must also keep in mind that dutch farmers are high that the dutch farmers are high tech farmers. it's highly industrialised agriculture . they industrialised agriculture. they are silicon valley. if you are the silicon valley. if you want the food production. so we be not to romanticise in be careful not to romanticise in a way that they are like humans farmers the 18th century, farmers from the 18th century, in the sense that dutch farmers are the best, that capitalist ism to offer their ism has to offer their innovative . they feed the world innovative. they feed the world and at the same time bring wealth to the farmers, which they well deserve because actually, the reason why actually, i think the reason why the eu dislikes them so much . we the eu dislikes them so much. we have autoimmune disease in have an autoimmune disease in all the west against. everything

that undermines the kind of underwrites our civilisation , underwrites our civilisation, whether it's the internal combustion engine, whether it's agriculture , whether it's fossil agriculture, whether it's fossil fuels, whether it is energy. and thatis fuels, whether it is energy. and that is part of larger battle. we talked about this before , but we talked about this before, but we shouldn't lose sight of this . this is one battle in a larger i don't know if we want to call it war in the larger conflict against forces that against these forces that actively undermine makes our civilisation . yes, civilisation possible. yes, ralph, very compelling . my and ralph, very compelling. my and my guests in the studio here. gentlemen, i could hear you nodding along and making affirmative sense, but do you identify with what is saying about undermining of the of about the undermining of the of the pillars of the of the way of life that we've thomas being maybe number one? yeah, absolutely i do. and i absolutely i do. and i absolutely agree that it's obviously not just in the netherlands. it's definitely here. it's america. it was across europe. there was sort of across europe. there was sort of a self—hatred . and we at the a self—hatred. and we at the same time, the self, which is particularly, i think, coming from coming from, you know, what the american school, the liberals, we would i don't know

what we call in the elites, perhaps at the same time , the perhaps at the same time, the people who are literally on the ground, the farmers, the people who are working, the people in the shire as, the people who are working in factories. they very much do believe in is happening in these pillars and they're very, very unhappy about what they're seeing on the television and what they're hearing from the parliamentary. our parliamentary leaders, because it's very different from what they believe in. and i think there is a groundswell of support now for another an alternative party. and i've heard of people standing . more heard of people standing. more and more people are standing now as independents because they're so disgusted by the current party. look, it's just the ones that register later with me are self—hatred. do you think there is a time for a for people, a party or individual to represent those of us who think that what we've had in the past the left has usis we've had in the past the left has us is on the contrary

has given us is on the contrary to be defended. i understand that farmers are vital to that now farmers are vital to any whether in holland , any whether it's in holland, britain, america, africa, all the world. and those pictures are quite compelling . the are quite compelling. the flashing lights on the tractors they see for me will, they go from protest to policy . you from protest to policy. you know, i get a lot of angry letters. why can't we do this? do that? but when you're actually in the system can you change the system ? protest is change the system? protest is one thing. devising policy that actually works is another thing. you can't . problems with anger you can't. problems with anger and emotion alone . ralph, you and emotion alone. ralph, you listening to that? obviously and feel free to comment on what you have there. i'm of you seeing the situation of political situation in the netherlands is about compromise and that there's a tradition and a culture of compromise politically . what kind of politically. what kind of compromise do you think ? compromise do you think? farmers, the farmers protest movement and the farmers themselves would contemplate ? themselves would contemplate? you know, if they have to give a bit in order , get that

bit in order, get that compromise , meet them, where compromise, meet them, where might that compromise middle ground be found ? well, i think ground be found? well, i think the farmers have upper hand. and the farmers have upper hand. and the reasons for this is quite simple. over the last couple of decades, they have reduced their nitrogen emissions, which has been the main issue by 70. and as said before, i mean, quite literally , they are the silicon literally, they are the silicon valley of agriculture . the dutch valley of agriculture. the dutch farmers would be capable decreasing emissions time . decreasing emissions over time. their main problem was the timeframe by the government right they kind of shortened the time they were making available to more and more and to the farmers more and more and more and at point the more and at some point the farmers we can do it. we farmers said we can do it. we can cannot it. in eight years can we cannot it. in eight years we do it in 18 years. we might can do it in 18 years. we can it in 20 years. we might can do it in 20 years. so this is the problem behind this. so the policy think your guest put an excellent point there. but i think the policy from the farmer citizens movement very simple movement could be a very simple , is saying we agree with , which is saying we agree with the of reducing the general notion of reducing emissions , but at the same time emissions, but at the same time we need a larger, time we need a larger, broader time honzon we need a larger, broader time horizon . and the difficult thing

horizon. and the difficult thing will be they will have to go both against the eu and the greens because they must say, listen, world is not going listen, the world is not going to end in eight years. we have 20, we have 30 years. the world is still to be around and is still going to be around and over timeframe can over that timeframe we can ensure emissions and at ensure lower emissions and at the time continue to feed the same time continue to feed the same time continue to feed the population or keep food pnces the population or keep food prices low because that would be the of the compromise. so the price of the compromise. so i tend to forget i think people tend to forget this. as other guest this. also, as the other guest said, i think the self—hatred argument is a good one, but that self—hatred will some self—hatred will at some point have you turn have a price tag. if you turn against everything that modern life affordable, then modern life affordable, then modern life become less life will become less affordable, at least for the majority of the and this majority of the people. and this is discomfort , justifiably, is the discomfort, justifiably, that people have with that so many people have with the wef in davos because they promote the world. but for them will not really have any changes. but for 80% of the rest of us, it will have significant changes. what about here? absolutely listening very carefully to what you're saying. we're about what's we're making it about what's best for, you know, food production and farming . what

production and farming. what about the perception that's out there that it's not about that that what's driving the agenda of the dutch government is just a land grab that that the intention is by hook or by crook to get the land away from the farmers because there's an agenda that be used for something else by transnational corporations or whatever . where corporations or whatever. where do you stand on that assertion ? do you stand on that assertion? well, i believe that two things can be true at once. i think thatis can be true at once. i think that is absolutely i mean, that the government has interest in grabbing this land. i think that is correct. but it's also true that what are they using as, let's say , the smokescreen to do let's say, the smokescreen to do it? they something they feel still resonates . the majority of still resonates. the majority of the population . that's the the population. that's the environmental point. and i think this is kind of what you have to go against kind of once to undermine the environmental, which i think in the way this made at the moment simply made at the moment is simply wrong. human race is very wrong. i the human race is very good adaptation. will

good at adaptation. we will adapt the things that are adapt to the things that are going the world going to happen again. the world is to end in ten is not going to end in ten years. not 19, 20 years. it's not going 19, 20 years. it's not going 19, 20 years. but that at the same time there are interests as there are other interests as well. remember as well. absolutely. remember as mark said, land. mark twain said, right land. is valuable they make valuable because they don't make any it. and that's, of any more of it. and that's, of course, particularly true in the netherlands, the most determined, i would say, of the protesters , that there is protesters, that there is absolutely no scientist credibility in the nitrogen crisis argument. credibility in the nitrogen crisis argument . you know, if we crisis argument. you know, if we get down to brass tacks, so to speak , it is the government speak, it is the government assertion about cutting nitrogen emissions based on a fallacy or a misinterpretation of science ? a misinterpretation of science? well, let me say two things about this. one is, it is not as clear cut as the government says. there were some very flawed studies. for example , flawed studies. for example, claiming that up to 80% of the insects in the netherlands have been extinct. and that is simply not truth. but the second part is and i think that's the argument in my eyes, of course,

agriculture toll on the agriculture takes a toll on the environment, but i think this is the price that we have to pay as a modern society. the idea is and i think we tend to no longer realise. europeans have chopped on forests over the last on all the forests over the last centuries . the forests are centuries. now the forests are back because we better over back because we got better over time, we still those major time, but we still those major cities think it's the same cities and i think it's the same with netherlands. you will with the netherlands. you will need some for agriculture that will harsh for the will be harsh for the environment as just as environment as mining, just as drilling , just as all these drilling, just as all these other things are . but at the other things are. but at the same time, your produce food same time, if your produce food the the dutch do , there are the way the dutch do, there are many, other areas where you many, many other areas where you don't have to do agriculture. and this can then be this wonderful, pristine that and this can then be this w0|allrful, pristine that and this can then be this w0|all enjoy ristine that and this can then be this w0|all enjoy .stine that and this can then be this w0|all enjoy . but; that and this can then be this w0|all enjoy . but if that and this can then be this w0|all enjoy . but if you that and this can then be this w0|all enjoy . but if you want to we all enjoy. but if you want to turn everything into this areas, well, don't all have food. i well, you don't all have food. i am austrian. i like nature very much, but i also like central heating you know, the heating and, you know, the occasional for at occasional for dinner at a reasonable price. and i think those two things can be achieved simultaneously. one last question, ralph . what about the question, ralph. what about the dark assertion , the dark assertion, the

pro—government parties will simply join up? pro—government parties will simply join up ? i hear what simply join up? i hear what you're seeing , consensus and you're seeing, consensus and compromise and politicians being aware of and very suspect to the apparent desires of the of the electorate . but given the system electorate. but given the system you have those poor pro—government parties could simply join and pass the anti farming and knock out the significance of the farmers protest movement. that would be that would be true wouldn't it. yeah and that is a risk that exists. but i said before, i think there's a general change in winds all europe the environmental movement still dominates. let's say the reporting. and it's very prominent within the journalist cultural class. but if you talk to people on the streets as it just happened at the netherlands, that attitude is slowly changing. so i think if they want to ram through. right, if they say, sure, 20% of the people in this election voted for the representatives of the farmers. but we've got ram farmers. but we've got to ram through because through nonetheless, because then this

then they would violate this kind political culture, kind of dutch political culture, this dutch consensus that the people are very fond of. so they can try to do this. but i think the backlash would be significant and in the next election we might don't talk about 30, we talk about 20, we talk 30, we talk 40. so i am slightly more hopeful. now, as i said, this was a battle that was won. it is part of a larger conflict. but so things look better than they did a week ago. yes ralph shulman, always important shulman, it's always important to pause and take a breath and celebrate as they come celebrate victories as they come at least, at least enjoy the moment. ralph shulman, thank you very much once again for your time . thank you so much. very much once again for your time . thank you so much . after time. thank you so much. after the final break, we'll be live to new york . have the oscars had to new york. have the oscars had their day? see . in three or mark their day? see. in three or mark dolan tonight. their day? see. in three or mark dolan tonight . with 7 million dolan tonight. with 7 million working age adults not active in the economy says britain lost its work ethic . the economy says britain lost its work ethic. i'll be asking the leader of ukip, neil hamilton, in my big opinion,

spoilt cry—babies and meghan's relentless attacks on the monarchy serving only one purpose to make it popular. and it might take it. ten striking passport are planning to ruin great british summer holiday . my great british summer holiday. my reaction plus all star panel and tomorrow's papers . see you .

at eight. welcome back. lovely people . the welcome back. lovely people. the 95th oscars managed on average audience of nearly 19 million last weekend. that's 12% on the last weekend. that's12% on the year before . however, they were year before. however, they were also the third least watched academy awards since numbers began being kept for such things . absurdist comedy , drama, . absurdist comedy, drama, whatever one of those is

everything . everywhere, all at everything. everywhere, all at once was the big winner with seven awards. but anyone tuning in for the sequel to the slop feast , only in for the sequel to the slop feast, only disappointment. joining me to look back on the eventis. joining me to look back on the event is . showbiz legend in his event is. showbiz legend in his own right. nelson aspen nelson. hello good . see you. thanks for hello good. see you. thanks for having me back . great. i was having me back. great. i was just staying in the break with my guests here. jasmine little taylor. i was grew up. just love it. i've loved movies, but big blockbusters, hollywood, all the way. and i used to watch the oscars with genuine excitement . oscars with genuine excitement. you know, i'd be cheering for somebody. and it would be i have high expectations because i would seen most, if not would have seen most, if not all, the that were in all, of the films that were in contention and just like contention and just not like that for me any more. and do that for me any more. and i do feel it deeply. so feel it. i feel it deeply. so that said, what was your verdict on all of it this year ? well, i on all of it this year? well, i have to say this was probably the most i've enjoyed an academy awards broadcast in several

years, probably maybe 25 years since the year that james cameron's titanic took so many awards. and that's key. that is the key to making the oscars, a winning broadcast. you have to nominate films that the people enjoy, not just the critics or the artists , so to speak. and the artists, so to speak. and this year, they did avatar the way of water , top gun, maverick. way of water, top gun, maverick. so there was a blockbuster factor involved. and i think the factor involved. and i think the fact that they had. remember talked about this last time they had a crisis panel in place to deal with any episodes like the will smith chris rock slept should that arise and that did happen this year. i think for the most part they kept it very classy and anyone who wants to complain about the lack of diversity and are plenty of people that want to complain about the lack of diversity, i think you have no further to look then how well—represented many groups were. it was great

night for the asian—american community, a great night for india a great night for ireland, a great night for germany. so i think it was really quite a broad spectrum. and the ratings reflected an improvement as well. neil, you mention the year of titanic, which i remember , if of titanic, which i remember, if it were yesterday , 55 million it were yesterday, 55 million viewers, i think it was the most watched in history . viewers, i think it was the most watched in history. i was i would have been cheering for top gun maverick. i thought that was a proper movie of the sort. i actually. thought that didn't make any more proper blockbuster . will we see again the d make any more proper blockbuster .will we see again the d and the oscars when that sort of movie, the crowd pleaser sweeps the boards again in the titanic did? i think so. i think so. and top gun, maverick is actually being credited along with tom cruise for saving the movie industry because post—covid , industry because post—covid, that was the film that brought people back into the physical world of cinema and to tom's

credit and to the film's credit that's a big reason why was represented. i don't think it ever stood a chance of winning best picture but the fact that it was nominated drew into into the program so yes it is important to include crowd pleasers in there and fact that we're kind of forever was nominated that was like that i mean that's a marvel that's a that's a superhero that was credited with in contention for being a best picture as well as a best supporting actress nomination for angela bassett . nomination for angela bassett. and had she won that it would have been the first superhero character to have taken home the gold . neal b. martin my guest gold. neal b. martin my guest here in the studio. a lot of work, i think, you know , it's work, i think, you know, it's a remarkable question you'd like to. for ten years, i was vice president of the british film board, which classifies all the films from hollywood, etc. in recent years. i do think the oscars have been taken over by, woke. i really do. and instead

of woke. they need to wake up. they need to give oscars to films that people want to watch like blockbusters top like the blockbusters like top gun and okay, it was nominated, but it didn't win. we need to see films . people actually want see films. people actually want to see that they problems to go and see that they problems with the films now that get the oscars. things, three oscars. three things, three problems, the beginning, the middle and the end. nobody sees them. nobody to see them. it's too low. i totally agree, you know, because the number one thing is not should not be diverse. it should be. is it a good film? yes absolutely. good actors that you want to watch. yes. you say not just a box ticking exercise, which is the way i feel about films nowadays. nothing you listen to a lot, i'm sure. how they learned to stop being preachy and worthy not just in the films, but in the acceptance speeches, because the clips suggested. no, they clips saw suggested. no, they still weeping still want to be seen weeping like babies first opportunity. that's called the bone to pick is with the nominated in committee not we're not with you can only vote for what's nominated so the winners are

determined by the voters but you have to nominate the crowd pleasers for them to even be considered. of course. now when you talk about woke, i think what's interesting is blanchett won best actress at the critics choice awards for her marvellous work in the film target . but her work in the film target. but her acceptance speech at critics choice award , of which choice award, of which i confess, i am a voting member. and i voted actually . i didn't and i voted actually. i didn't vote for cate. i voted for michelle williams. but be that as it may, she she got very much into she referred to the patriarchal pyramid. i'm going to have to jump in purely because i'm running out of time. i could listen to you enthuse endlessly, but thank so much. nelson . that's all for me nelson usman. that's all for me on the olivia utley folks as always to my panel just in bottles, not taylor i'll be back at 6:00 next saturday. next it's mark dolan tonight. what you got, show. for all got, neil show. well, for all the from . harry and only the attacks from. harry and only one thing has been achieved , one thing has been achieved, that's to make our king
