also probably best they didn't attend . i think really the attend. i think really the protests were triggered by pension reforms brought in by president macron, president emmanuel macron, who is massively under the is frankly massively under the cosh now isn't in paris. police using tear gas loads of arrest, loads of people injured as well. and it shows no signs of stopping. we will be going live, hopefully to paris a bit later to. footage from to. on give you footage from this ground as protests this ground as the protests continue. right here in the continue. but right here in the studio, i believe we've cameron walker. but we do. come on. what could you be. he's a political reporter. cameron and look what's the what's going on there. so the king and queen consort will not be sara blair be going to france? sara blair no, not next week no, i mean, not next week anyway. think it's pretty anyway. i think it's pretty embarrassing for the french government , perfectly honest. government, perfectly honest. yesterday was yesterday their interior was saying still saying it's very much still ahead we've got a u—turn ahead and we've got a u—turn here today, patrick. i think a couple of reasons for this. first of which, clearly security has been a big concern. we've seen you just show pictures of those violent involving many , those violent involving many, you know, building satellites and all of that, a security have been reported in the papers in

the last few hours. well, on the onune the last few hours. well, on the online at least saying that this would have been much on the advice of police and french security and with the king himself he likes getting up close and personal with members of the public shaking hands, greeting hands even with a few eggs which to him and in the u.k. and over the last few months on a number of occasions he's been defiant. well, he likes an omelette, but he's been defiant and. he's continued to greet members of the public. so he very much determined be he was very much determined be in the french in france. but the french president , in france. but the french president, as i understand it, has call with the has a phone call with the king this morning was on the this morning and it was on the french government's requesting that the state visit to france at postponed and the at least is postponed and the state visit to germany later on next week is still going ahead, as we understand. this is as we understand. but this is clearly annoying for the clearly a bit annoying for the king and queen consort's, because it was meant be their because it was meant to be their big foreign trip. so the big first foreign trip. so the new house we know as far new for house us, we know as far as it the french as we it is the french cancelling this are not king charles saying a ropey charles saying this a bit ropey if you me i'm off. no, it if you ask me i'm off. no, it absolutely is. french

absolutely is. the french government saying, going government saying, we're going to cancel this. and to have to cancel this. and also politically the french politically for the french government having, the french repubuc government having, the french republic president, government having, the french republic president , the king of republic president, the king of the united kingdom in the palace of versailles, feasting a banquets having walked the red carpet . yeah, as paris is carpet. yeah, as paris is literally burning with loads of protesters outside , perhaps protesters outside, perhaps harking back to time that marie antoinette and the french revolution. so it's been a very good look they wouldn't want to marry until that moment. thank you very catherine walker. you very much, catherine walker. that go that royal reporter. let's go live paris speak to live to paris and speak to journalist david david, journalist david chazan. david, i believe joins us. he i believe joins us. yes, he does. there we go . david, does. there we go. david, do i looks it relatively looks it looks relatively peaceful . you are. and now peaceful. you are. and now there's me on cnn with the there's not me on cnn with the flames for you flames in the background for you claiming mostly peaceful claiming it's mostly peaceful genuinely what is it genuinely does but what is it actually on ground there? it actually on the ground there? it just to quite hairy . just appears to be quite hairy. well, it is seeing the protests are continuing today is another day of strikes and protests . day of strikes and protests. some of the protesters set wheelie bins on fire, i think to be honest some of the tv pictures sort of indicate that

the whole city is burning that's not the case. there areas that are still relics of the uninfected by all of this nevertheless this is a huge crisis and as you royal correspondent was just saying, the decision cancel king charles trip came from the french. and what seems to have prompted it specifically was a police intelligence that indicated that extremist protesters were going to target the trip and try to use this as a way of raising the profile of these protests even further . but profile of these protests even further. but obviously , this is further. but obviously, this is quite a embarrassing, if not humiliating thing for the french, the conservative newspaper, the figaro says this , makes france's international look terrible because . it is an look terrible because. it is an admission the country has been plunged into crisis by the

opposition to president macron's pension reforms . yeah, i mean, pension reforms. yeah, i mean, macron absolutely cannot it, and he cannot possibly do that when he's essentially have to call off a state visit. he would have done that at the absolute last, most regrettable possible , most regrettable possible, wouldn't see. and he's had to do it, which does imply that there is serious chaos. david, i'm keen for you to elaborate a little bit on me on that french intelligence, which appeared to suggest king could have suggest that our king could have actually targeted. well, no actually been targeted. well, no , don't think they were suggesting was suggesting that there was a physical to the king the physical threat to the king the king is extreme . the popular in king is extreme. the popular in france. remember the french, of course, chopped off the heads of their own monarchs a long time ago , but they've kind of adopted ago, but they've kind of adopted british monarchy, almost as if with their own i mean , if i had with their own i mean, if i had to pound for every time seen a magazine front page , members of magazine front page, members of the british royal , then be the british royal, then be inviting all the viewers out for

a laugh slap up meal tonight . a laugh slap up meal tonight. but the thing is that saw this as an opportunity to have a further pop at president macron mean his opponents accuse him of being the president of the rich the president is completely out of touch with ordinary people's concerns who's now going against the will of the people by pushing through these pension reforms without . holding a vote reforms without. holding a vote in the national assembly in the lower house of parliament, which is this is legal, but nevertheless it's aroused massive anger in france and i remember the previous french governments have tried to put through similar reforms and they've backed down when there were large scale street protests , as we're seeing today. now, president macron says he's different. he's not going to back down, but nevertheless, the

protesters feel that street protests have worked in the france they force governments to do so . they're hoping that this do so. they're hoping that this will happen once again . now, will happen once again. now, david, shortly i'm going to be to talking a close protection, security expert who's had a history of protecting very different members of the royal family so i'll get the security side of it. i'm to get from you what this really mean ceremonial macron because sitting on this side of channel, it does side of the channel, it does quite for him. clearly, quite bleak for him. clearly, there of people there is a wide range of people who angry now we see who are angry now we can see from footage is it's not from footage that is it's not just people of pension egypt students , a variety of different students, a variety of different people as well , which would people as well, which would imply me there is a much imply to me that there is a much bigger issue going on for. here emmanuel macron, how likely is that? are numbered that? macron's days are numbered 7 that? macron's days are numbered ? well i think you'll see out the rest of his i mean, his approval ratings are dismal. he's down to 28. compare that to the opinion polls that show two thirds of french people oppose his pension . and that's

his pension. and that's significant. but i think that president macron will just trying to set this one out it'll be hope the public opinion which is more or less behind the protest but for now we'll begin to swing against them if the violence continues . if the violence continues. if the damage to public property and this problem of the silent majority of people out there who find they're not happy with pension changes, nevertheless yes, they're hoping that the country can get back to normal and they don't to completely damage the economy . another damage the economy. another point to bear in mind is that the people committing of the violence in these protests, it's not the trade unionists or or the sort of normal demonstrators are going out during the day just to register their disapproval . what the macron disapproval. what the macron government is doing, it tends to

be fairly young people who are sometimes called anarchists. i think just basically anti anti system they call themselves. yeah. and they tend to tag along . there's a street demonstration , a protest in france and are just out for trouble , allowed to just out for trouble, allowed to damage public property through cobblestones that the and so on. david, thank you very much. as even david, thank you very much. as ever, david touches on that. who is in paris and is a journalist 7 is in paris and is a journalist ? as i've said, we are going to be getting footage a bit later on in the show from where we'll be showing you exactly what's going on there, just to who going on there, just to see who the actual latest of has the actual latest of what has gone on, charles queen gone on, king charles and queen consort camilla will not be going a state visit to going on a state visit to france. make mistake about france. make no mistake about this humiliation this utter humiliation for macron. humiliation . macron. lots of humiliation. king charles, his first state visit to france , cancelled visit to france, cancelled because they can't guarantee they'll keep him safe . and b, they'll keep him safe. and b, they'll keep him safe. and b, the optics of it would be bad. as two cities burn, you've king

charles. they're about walk down a red carpet and since a lavish however many meal it is with emmanuel macron doesn't need any help looking as , though. he's help looking as, though. he's wealthy and out of touch, does he? i'm joined by danny davis, who is the former head of royal protection die. thank you very much. as far as we're aware, this was much emmanuel this was very much emmanuel macron in touch with our macron getting in touch with our royal saying, look, i'm royal family, saying, look, i'm sorry, we guarantee your sorry, we can't guarantee your safety. think? he was safety. do you think? he was right do it's right to do that. it's embarrassing . it is embarrassing embarrassing. it is embarrassing for macron. and i. it was the right decision , given what we're right decision, given what we're seeing on our television screens and what's happening . i think and what's happening. i think nearly 500 police officers have attacked many of them now in hospital . it attacked many of them now in hospital. it is a attacked many of them now in hospital . it is a degree of hospital. it is a degree of anarchy and it would be wholly inappropriate for the king and the queen to go there while . the queen to go there while. this hasn't been brought under , this hasn't been brought under, in my view . and, of course, your in my view. and, of course, your previous speaker talking about a small group who are legitimate

protest sources, but those whenever there is a street gathering , they will use the gathering, they will use the opportunity to burn and attack both property and police officers . by any definition officers. by any definition would call them anarchists . and would call them anarchists. and we can never be sure what threat could have been to his majesty and the queen. exactly look, a record number march paris. yesterday, more than 1 million people protesting nationally, 5000 police officers were on the streets of paris yesterday. we know that hundreds of those have been injured. we know that hundreds of protesters have been and arrested as well. and including some footage you were playing of town hall playing on that of the town hall in taught there's in bordeaux, taught there's rubbish strewn in streets of rubbish strewn in the streets of paris. that's mostly fire as well, far as can tell. and well, as far as we can tell. and do think that king charles do you think that king charles and queen consort camilla would have been a valid target for some of these protesters to make as much of a scene as possible to drag as much attention to their cause as possible and just

stuck as much humiliate as possible onto emmanuel macron . i possible onto emmanuel macron. i think that's a very real possibility . you know, possibility. you know, preparations have been going on for this for months . from both for this for months. from both sides it's a hugely important aspect of the hopefully relationships between the two country for france to have this now is a dreadful setback . but now is a dreadful setback. but obviously people are very upset with the rules that he or the law that he's brought in. but going back to the security risk you have to adhere to what the local intelligence is what they know about who will cause trouble. and of course, royalty protection officers would work handin protection officers would work hand in hand with the secret service of france and indeed the local police. i think it would have given too much, for the police to deal with to have to deal with a state visit . and one deal with a state visit. and one can never guarantee absolute 100% safety at the best of times. there are always those who are prepared to attack . and

who are prepared to attack. and of course, going back in our own country. king prince charles, as he was then and queen, were attacks going to a theatre, if you recall , attacks going to a theatre, if you recall, in attacks going to a theatre, if you recall , in piccadilly. they you recall, in piccadilly. they were they were driven straight into a riot. i would hate that to happen no matter , how brave to happen no matter, how brave they might be personally. they've also got to take into account the trouble they would have for the police who have got more than enough to do. well yeah. and can you imagine the international incident that it would cause if all king got on queen consort came to physical harm on a foreign? i mean, it would be utterly, utterly . thank would be utterly, utterly. thank you very, very much . davis there you very, very much. davis there is a former head of royal protection now. yes just can you imagine being emmanuel macron earlier today, by the way, having to call the security services to get in to talk to him and them saying, look, are very sorry, michel. we cannot protect the king queen of england as they come here. i mean, it's absolutely staggering stuff, isn't it, the humiliation that he must have as he picked

up that phone to the royal household said, i'm so household and said, look, i'm so sorry visit is i mean, sorry your visit is off. i mean, it is staggering stuff. gb views gb uk , but wonder how gb news dot uk, but wonder how much longer emmanuel macron has got left. journalist man in paris seem to think they'll be able to ride but good grief is looking pretty. as i've said. we'll to date as we'll keep you up to date as those protests continue. they stopping any soon, like in stopping any time soon, like in jazz. though. for jazz. moving on though. for now. rishi deal northern rishi sunak's deal for northern ireland formally off ireland has been formally off today. . i think it today. massive davis. i think it supped today. massive davis. i think it slipped into the radar somewhat because we are. boris johnson didn't his testimony. we had didn't in his testimony. we had a few the bits and bobs going a few of the bits and bobs going as after mp is over as well. but after mp is over whelming, voted in favour of whelming, he voted in favour of the continued the framework. despite continued opposition from the dup and european research group now , european research group now, foreign secretary james cleverly and the european commission's maros sefcovic meets in london today. boris johnson , liz truss today. boris johnson, liz truss were also among the mp who voted against the government on wednesday. it has been called a brexit betrayal and i have a lot of you at and if you're

listening in your car or watching us online of your consuming gb news at the moment are very, very strong views about this. get in touch that email again gbviews@gbnews.uk. is this you? a brexit or are is this for you? a brexit or are you quite happy now that we're and rolling and things are moving? political moving? gb news you political reporter catherine has reporter catherine forster has more on this. catherine more for us on this. catherine thank very, much. so thank you very, very much. so actually that . so actually happened today that. so the windsor framework that's rishi sunak answer to the protocol problems that came in to deal with brexit boris johnson when he got brexit done in inverted commas at the beginning of 2020, they signed up to the northern irish protocol effectively puts a border down the irish sea in terms of regular ation. now that's caused massive it's caused the democratic party to pull out of power sharing instalments . and so the instalments. and so the government has renegotiate that deal government has renegotiate that deal. and now as of today, they

have signed up along with the eu to what's called the windsor framework . there was a lot of framework. there was a lot of fanfare a few weeks when rishi sunak agreed this with the commission president, ursula von der leyen . then there was a big der leyen. then there was a big potential rebellion. on wednesday , led by former prime wednesday, led by former prime ministers boris johnson, liz truss, former conservative leader ian duncan—smith and 22 conserva tive mps voted against conservative mps voted against this the end another 48 abstain, but in total did fly through the house of commons. but in total did fly through the house of commons . 515 voting for house of commons. 515 voting for it only 29 again passed and rishi sunak will be feeling happy with that now . it's not happy with that now. it's not this stormont brake that there was the vote on the other day, there are concerns that although we're told it means that northern ireland stormont government can block and stop new laws, the eu have described

it rather differently and said that would only be used in exceptional circumstances. so certainly the dup and northern are having none of it. they have not supported it. the have not support to it. but whether they like it or whether they don't it has now been accept ted. but it doesn't seem like there's prospect of powersharing in stormont coming back any time soon and certainly looks very unlikely that by the 25th anniversary we of the good friday agreement, which is just next month , president biden may next month, president biden may be looks very unlikely that will be looks very unlikely that will be up and running again. be looks very unlikely that will be up and running again . very be up and running again. very much political reporter catherine forster , what's the catherine forster, what's the latest on the windsor framework or not? you think it is brexit betrayal now i have got loads more coming your way on this. in fact, we've got an eclectic mix of stories including this absolute jam, more than 100 lawyers say they won't prosecute

climate change. protesters eco warriors like just stop extinction rebellion, etc. but they are happy. apparently to represent people like alleged and murderers and whoever else is absolutely shocking , is absolutely shocking, especially when you find out one of the people who's getting involved with this kind of legal protest is and he actually did clever fox to death in his own back garden on boxing was wearing wife's kimono is wearing his wife's kimono is that most eco you can that the most eco you can possibly be? i'm patrick christys and this is

gb news. just a quick reminder for you ladies and gentlemen of the top story today, which that the kings state visit to france is off of violent across off because of violent across the country a humiliate nation for emmanuel macron serious fears are all king and consort. and also the optics , them dining and also the optics, them dining out a lavish however many course banquets at versailles whilst people are outside setting fire to the so that we go. but now

over the next few days ministers be considering a big to . change be considering a big to. change the government's new migration bill. this is the illegal migration bill and it's going to have a final vote on monday either possible amendments, though, would courts from though, would stop courts from being able to issue last minute injunction , which can prevent injunction, which can prevent migrants from being deported . migrants from being deported. and it would mean that the only way which a migrant could avoid being removed will be by proving that they face a real risk of serious and irreversible harm in the country , which they'd be the country, which they'd be being sent back to so that would mark quite an important . there mark quite an important. there is also another amendment being tabled whether or not it gets much of a hearing from gallus about stopping the use of migrant example . and migrant hotels, for example. and another for what it's another amendment, for what it's worth is worth. well, which is desperately trying to stop people who are unaccompanied ever being deported. but of course there is a bit of a minefield there with with me now to through is gb news to pick through this is gb news is political reporter olivia utley you very utley olivia thank you very much. to sure that much. so they want to sure that what happen in this what would happen in this illegal bill would

illegal migration bill would be that can no last minute that there can be no last minute stoppages of deportation flights. course, stoppages of deportation flights.in course, stoppages of deportation flights.in the course, stoppages of deportation flights.in the wake course, stoppages of deportation flights.in the wake of)urse, stoppages of deportation flights.in the wake of some names comes in the wake of some names and being of some people and faces being of some people that were blocked from being deported in britain who have gone on to command, some hideous crimes. yeah. so there's quite a also worry on the conservative that suella braverman that although suella braverman migrant bill sort of makes all the right noises, the rhetoric, all there. they worry that it's going to end up being unworkable because individual cases they think will get caught up in the strasbourg courts because the because we're still a member of the european court of human rights. now what about when in the have have that the government have have that they're going simply they're not going to simply leave european leave the human the european court of human which court of human rights which would of simple way would be the sort of simple way round would have damaging round what would have damaging damage relationships with damage our relationships with the eu. they that instead they've worked out this law very carefully they words it in such a way that it should mean eu echr law is doesn't to cases of migrants being deported, but

it's not completely watertight. so what these amendments are doing , trying to make that doing, trying to make that trying make the law more watertight so that strasbourg judges or judges over here can put in place an injunctions which would actually stop people taking off. now, these employees who are pushing these amendments believe they're just believe that they're just closing the final loopholes , and closing the final loopholes, and they think that the legislation works. but there is a that human rights lawyers could get through a couple of these little loopholes. the problem for the government, it sounds like they're seriously considering they're seriously considering the cashman moment which is the bill cashman moment which is the bill cashman moment which is the of these amendments the main one of these amendments closed the loopholes closed one of the loopholes is that a that they're also facing a rebellion the other side of rebellion on the other side of the party. the the conservative party. the moderates, if you like, in the conservative party led by tim loughton , who is trying to stop loughton, who is trying to stop the bill applying to on minors. so the government is worried that if it does roe in behind bill cash and the sort of right the party to tighten up the law then it'll see some equal or on

then it'll see some equal or on the other though so why can't it say ? look, we want to make it say? look, we want to make it easier for us to deport people who we think are worthy of deportation at the same time is making sure that there aren't actual children planes actual children on those planes . well, it does, i said . well, and it does, as i said before, minute backdrop before, come a minute backdrop of crooks, frankly, of foreign crooks, frankly, including dealers, carrying including drug dealers, carrying out crimes in this country out more crimes in this country after some labour mps and a lower celebrities campaign to basically take them off deportation . i mean, these deportation. i mean, these people include violent who got drug dealers we've got stalkers, we've got murderers i mean, good grief. and these people have been allowed to stay. absolutely and the conservative is briefing out these stories left, right and centre because it's quite useful for them to have to have these stories in the public eye, because obviously things get the pubuc because obviously things get the public on their side on this. they know that the public are supportive generally of the small boats. but to back that up, they're using cases up, they're using these cases which horrific which are genuine and horrific cases of who came to the cases of people who came to the uk illegally were supposed to be

deported and then thanks to campaigning from human rights lawyers, labour mp is and even the leader of the opposition in they ended up staying in the uk and went on to commit atrocious crimes. so yes, it's quite useful , the government that useful, the government that these stories are coming to light because. it will solidify that support in the public you like for tightening up this legislation. yeah olivia thank you very very much and of europe with our political reporterjust with our political reporter just keeping you up to date with the latest that illegal migration bill trying bill and how they're trying tighten and make easier tighten it up and make it easier for the people that we for us deport the people that we want deport. there's want to deport. now there's loads more still to come in this show, will have plenty of show, we will have plenty of reaction. story from reaction. today's big story from these on telly will these as people on telly will able king charles able to see that king charles estate france this weekend estate visit france this weekend has postponed . i'm more has been postponed. i'm more than top have said than 100 top lawyers have said they're going to refuse to prosecute climate change activists is absolutely laughable. but first, i believe we got your headlines. we're jones.

we got your headlines. we're jones . thank you, patrick it's jones. thank you, patrick it's three coming up to 330 for your top stories . the gb newsroom, top stories. the gb newsroom, the first state visit of king charles france has been postponed because of protests across the country tens of thousands of people have been demonstrating against the government's plan to raise the pension age 62 to 64. the king was due to arrive on sunday, part of a weeklong trip to europe emmanuel macron has suggested the new date for the visit will be early summer. the winds framework has now been formally adopted by both the uk , eu, the foreign secretary and commission chaired a meeting earlier to sign off the post—brexit agreement. it's after meps voted in favour of the stormont brake despite opposition from the dup , the opposition from the dup, the prime minister has stressed the

importance of uphold leading democratic values . at a meeting democratic values. at a meeting with his israeli counterpart benjamin netanyahu is in london as thousands rally in israel. and here against a law that's been approved by his right wing coalition critics say it's designed to him from his corruption rishi sunak also for a de—escalation in tensions in the west bank and says school inspections will continue. that's despite calls for them to be suspended . unions be suspended. unions representing teachers and want checks to be paused while they refuse carried out it's after head ruth perry took her own in january while waiting for a report which downgraded her school to the lowest possible rating . tv online derby plus rating. tv online derby plus radio and on tuned in this is gb news now .

news now. patrick now this story might seem like a joke, but i absolutely and mark my words if this goes ahead it will have far reaching implications for the future of britain's legal system. i frankly its integrity as well actually climate activists the bane of many motorists lives people's lives frankly when they're blocking traffic glueing themselves to the roads. well these protests by the likes of just one of the groups have been on pause of late, quite possibly due to the weather fair protest, as some would say, although i don't want to tempt them. but if they were to start up again, they were to start up again, they have quite lot of they would have quite lot of lawyers that. and that is lawyers on that. and that is because and really because and is a really contentious issue here. more than 100 barristers, solicitors and academics are planning and legal academics are planning to sign called a declaration of conscience which is vowing not to represent fossil fuel companies so they won't defend fossil fuel companies. companies so they won't defend fossil fuel companies . right. or

fossil fuel companies. right. or prosecute climate change protesters. and this is pretty staggering when you look at it, because first and foremost, just the legal principles at play here. there is something in law called brandt rule. so you called the brandt rule. so you are supposed take are just supposed to take whatever comes next. you whatever case comes next. you can't discriminate. so can't really discriminate. so that's people who are like and murderers and rapists and just really and a horrible human beings can get a legal defence. okay and also it does mean that when there are cases of compassion. so let's just say spnng compassion. so let's just say spring to mind here, like someone who's been by a husband for decades , decades and for decades, decades and decades. their life is made of misery. and she snaps one day and stabs them , something that and stabs them, something that they can actually still be prosecuted by people because the of these cases shouldn't really come into a lawyer's hat massively. there is also, of course , excuse that a lot of course, excuse that a lot of lawyers use and a couple famous ones spring to mind here when they do decide that, they're going to represent people who may be are religious fundamentalists have some fundamentalists or have some pretty disgraceful views about

gay rights or things that they hide behind what's the covering rule and say, look, i just providing my services here, but what is happening now is that more than hundred, let's be honest, lawyers going honest, quite lawyers are going to refuse to prosecute climate groups like just the polio like extinction rebellion. and this i think bodes , incredibly badly think bodes, incredibly badly for the future of britain's legal system. because does this mean that lawyers it will sets a precedent they to pick precedent they were able to pick and what cases that they and choose what cases that they did and it pretty staggering did and it is pretty staggering 120 of them are going to sign this of conscience. this declaration of conscience. it to see lawyers it will vow to see lawyers refuse to answer on behalf of clients who to prosecute clients who wish to prosecute protesters involved in the oil clients who wish to prosecute prot�*gasrs involved in the oil clients who wish to prosecute prot�*gas demonstrationsie oil clients who wish to prosecute prot�*gas demonstrations butl and gas demonstrations but get a load of some the people who load of some of the people who are in this. of are involved in this. one of them is the guy of the law them is the guy of the good law project and casey , we know project and mum casey, we know you julian maugham you rememberjulian maugham because he's famous he tweeted on boxing day a few years ago that he had that very clubbed a fox to with a baseball bat wearing his wife's kimono and nursing a crushing hangover and

one would be forgiven, i think for wondering how much does this guy really care the environment and those that within it but and all those that within it but now supposedly he's involved with all of this but this make you lazy gentlemen, when you feel lazy gentlemen, when you feel lazy gentlemen, when you that people who glued you see that people who glued themselves they don't themselves to roads they don't want cause massive want to ever cause massive disruption and let's forget as well blocked , ambulances, well blocked, ambulances, despite what they said, footage emerged of this happening so it's true blocked ambulance with desperately ill people in the back from getting to hospital . back from getting to hospital. it meant that people were sitting cars on motorways for hours on end. one woman was suffering from a stroke . the suffering from a stroke. the time there were people who couldn't get much needed chemotherapy appointments, people did lose their lives. as a result of the protests that took place . and now you could took place. and now you could end up with a group of quite woke eco lawyers themselves. you could argue , refusing to could argue, refusing to prosecute them . i find that prosecute them. i find that quite damaging for our legal system and the moral compass of this nation. do you know gb views gb news? don't you get ?

views gb news? don't you get? your views coming in on this? i know lot of you find it absolutely staggering. dennis has been in touch. dennis, thank you very much. he just says, how on these people on earth could these people still decide that want to still decide that they want to defend exactly. defend people? yeah, exactly. but members a but murderers, etc. members of a grooming , are worthy of grooming, why are they worthy of a legal defence? but we can't prosecute . people who've put on prosecute. people who've put on an orange vest and sat front an orange vest and sat in front of a yeah look, i'm of a van. yeah look, i'm inclined to agree with you. i'm stopping for protest is just stopping for protest is just stop lawyer will any stop and no lawyer will any conscience and that's from roy really seriously questioning i think the actual conscious of these people do you think it's just political posturing. do you think that this is actually fair enough? worried about enough? i'd be worried about where you know, we where this ends. you know, we do have equality, and have equality, the law and lawyers. i think embarrasses, etc, should be allowed to pick and choose. really reason who they represent and dishing out. yeah i think pretty obvious bias there when it comes to eco warriors this is i think gb views and gb news don't uk get your views coming in. i know that will be very very very strong views on so let's hear

them moving on that will latics has banned transgender athletes from in is from competing in events. is that right decision? this that the right decision? this has been a long coming . has been a long time coming. people who were born male who transition into well something like anyway it's like womanhood anyway and it's been controversial been massively controversial they've been winning events left right centre in right and centre certainly in swimming mean we a swimming i mean we a weightlifter at the last olympics he olympics although to be he turned up impossibly in worse shape me. it certainly was shape than me. it certainly was nowhere medals board nowhere near the medals board and but yes, and that in itself was. but yes, they be banned . okay. they they will be banned. okay. they will banned before . but will be banned not before. but hey, get you thinking? hey, something get you thinking? okay i'm going to show you gb news viewers a clip of a man doing a bungee jump. but the question is , what happened . next question is, what happened. next what . want superfast broadband at a super price? get virgin media's m50 broadband forjust £25 a month and no setup fee! with average download speeds of 54 megabits per second, start going superfast now.

we've got a brand new line up every saturday night, gb news from 6 pm. i'll give my unique take on world today. then at seven it's me, calvin robinson ,

seven it's me, calvin robinson, with my common sense crusade new to gb news is the saturday five times the opinion . join us every times the opinion. join us every saturday from 8 pm. as we debate the week's with us all plus a special guest at nine of course it's mark dolan brand new saturday on gb news, britain's news . channel okay, people. now, news. channel okay, people. now, before the break, watching on gb news saw a man at least starting to do a bungee jump. but we froze the video, didn't we? well, it was mid—air. and i asked you what happened next? well, it's time to find out out . what whoa . well. well, it's time to find out out . what whoa . well . oh, that's . what whoa. well. oh, that's got a smell of it . that's. got a smell of it. that's. that's the reason why i've never done a bungee jump for people listening on radio. i did the bungee jump that is rope snaps and he into the water supposedly

he's right i should probably clear it apparently he's clear it up apparently he's right quite yet to play right i think quite yet to play more but one more more time but still one more time. i what feels a little bit like inevitable death and then bingo and then the rope snaps is absolutely shocking . good grief. absolutely shocking. good grief. i said this one. i've never done a bungee jump. i've never skied to either. although i used to do a feature called christies and people were adamant that i had to a skydive at some point. to do a skydive at some point. but i've swerved that one. haven't gentlemen haven't always. and gentlemen i will returning a little bit will be returning a little bit later on to what it's been our top story of the day as well, which the riots in which has been the riots in france the fact that our france and the fact that our king queen consort have had king and queen consort have had their cancelled their state visit cancelled by emmanuel for emmanuel macron. humiliation for emmanuel macron. humiliation for emmanuel hoping emmanuel macron. humiliation for enwelcome hoping emmanuel macron. humiliation for enwelcome king hoping emmanuel macron. humiliation for enwelcome king charles hoping emmanuel macron. humiliation for enwelcome king charles and>ping to welcome king charles and queen camilla over to france and to bordeaux, specifically , to bordeaux, specifically, actually. basically actually. and then basically locals been rioting over emmanuel macron's to increase the age from 62 to 64. loads of people from different have been rising, setting things on fire and they even torched the hall in bordeaux . and that's i think

in bordeaux. and that's i think we could all agree was probably the final straw. so that is off. moving on, will athletics is done something that loads of people have been calling for them to do for a very time is banned trans from being able to compete in female categories. lord coe who was the governing body's said no athlete body's president said no athlete who gone through male who had gone through male puberty should be allowed in female world ranking competitions. i a great glimmer of common sense think ladies and gents under previous trans women has to reduce the amounts of testosterone in their blood to a certain level for 12 months before being allowed to compete. and all too often when early today we spoke to former olympic silver sharon davis, who says the right decision . i'm just the right decision. i'm just really relieved, really , for really relieved, really, for female athletes around , the female athletes around, the world, you know, this has been a fight that's going on since 2015. so that's eight years world changed their rule last year , world rugby were the first year, world rugby were the first to do that on safety grounds and you know the science doesn't back up the decisions that were

made this 17 peer reviewed studies there that that studies out there that show that cannot puberty cannot remove male puberty advantage. you're asking advantage. so you're asking female athletes to compete .the knowing that they starting with a disadvantage and that would happenin a disadvantage and that would happen in men's sport and so it was incredibly unfair and really difficult in a athletes to deal with when they were not even being given the opportunity to give their. so for me, it should safety first, then fairness and then inclusion . and then if we then inclusion. and then if we can't mix , the three, we have to can't mix, the three, we have to go. right, let's debate about this openly and find ways that we bring extra categories or we can bring extra categories or open sport is open pathways so that sport is for because all sportspeople for all because all sportspeople want everyone to do sport. we love our sport, you know, we don't be excluded. don't want anyone be excluded. and disingenuous when and it's very disingenuous when the used because is the word ban is used because is banned from sport. they're just banned from sport. they're just banned didn't banned from task. we didn't qualify for. and think we qualify for. yes. and i think we can agree . well, maybe not. can all agree. well, maybe not. maybe not. we'll find out if. you disagree with the idea that people male who people who were born male who transition womanhood and use whatever kind of puberty issues that they're on that they do, they're on medication, order do medication, etc, in order to do so be do you

so shouldn't be banned. do you think shouldn't be banned think they shouldn't be banned competing at olympic level? then get i suspect get in touch. but i suspect that you'll few and far between. you'll be few and far between. joining now is katy john went joining me now is katy john went to diversity and inclusion to is a diversity and inclusion facilitator. sir, you very facilitator. sir, thank you very much, to you on much, katy. great to have you on the what do you think the show. what do you think about think is fair about this? do you think is fair and right and proper people and right and proper that people who men who transition who were born men who transition into should be banned into womanhood should be banned from well from running on jimi as. well i actually agree with sharon. in fact, we've been discussing this on that fantastic place debate called twitter. yeah only this week as well . but i also i've week as well. but i also i've also been on gb news before with sharon and. i've moved my position closer . sharon and. i've moved my position closer. sharon's and i actually i do think it is unfair . i don't think it's anti—trans . i don't think it's anti—trans . i don't think it's anti—trans . i do think it's pro—women status in sport over time . the status in sport over time. the last year or so, it has gradually been looked at on a sport by sport basis rugby, cycling, swimming and now field and athletics and i think that was the right way to look at it on a sport by sport basis. i

think there are perhaps some sports within those categories where gender no difference and we were discussing again online this week about like double probability experimental difference in darts . well, no, difference in darts. well, no, who knows, but it depends on how much alcohol you can drink at the same time. yeah, it does actually yeah. yeah i mean if for example in shooting or fishing but although in archery it does make equestrian a little difference, there are things some motor racing little difference. again they actually balance out the weight of the driver or the person on a horse so that they're equal in all of those and in things like weightlifting and boxing, it's done by weight categories. yes. gender plus . but i do think that gender plus. but i do think that the glaring examples of where this should have been actually looked at earlier and people to jump looked at earlier and people to jump in case i'm going to jump in here because we have a glaring example, actually says thomas, there's some it's almost like we plumbed leah thomas's , like we plumbed leah thomas's, the swimmer in america who was born a man transitioned into

being a woman, a trans woman, and he started breaking all sorts of records college, women's , swimming over that to women's, swimming over that to the point where it was pretty i mean, there were just lengths ahead of any of the competitors shattering records, etc. so you have shifted your position on this from you've just said that. can i ask why ? because these are can i ask why? because these are things that aren't black and aren't binary. yes is binary, generally speaking , also have generally speaking, also have the intersex athletes issue . and the intersex athletes issue. and actually the other thing that's going kind of the radar a bit in the announcement yesterday was the announcement yesterday was the fact that the there's also the fact that the there's also the ban on intersex is going to be doubled upon affecting be doubled down upon affecting caster semenya and others because they've reduced the amount testosterone you'll be amount of testosterone you'll be allowed compete with if allowed to compete with if you're intersex irrespective of transition. and they've cut that half from five nanomoles to two and a half. and so that's going to affect more intersex drummers as well. they basically made

as well. and they basically made clear water, grey water, clear blue water, grey water, whatever the colour be in whatever the colour might be in that male and female that between male and female sport. and a female sport was originally be originally meant to be protective that could protective so that women could compete they compete with women because they obviously and didn't have a chance. obviously and didn't have a chance . most men earlier, chance. most men earlier, thomas, was someone was coming in the hundreds of categorisation with men and then she starts competing women and she's in the top dozen consistently sometimes and often winning . and i did see winning. and i did see a harrowing testimony actually again on social media account. i think it came out in january. but i saw float around twitter only this week and it was a woman who has competed against leah and said and swim leah thomas and said and swim mate knocked off the podium and have to share the changing rooms with leah thomas who hasn't had surgery yet and i'm trans person who's had surgery so you know i've taken hormones breast screws so which change rooms do i use. it's going to be awkward whatever. i'm going swimming on sunday have to make that sunday and i have to make that decision. thomas is kind of decision. but thomas is kind of in that in—between it was

in that in—between and it was upsetting fellow athletes, not just podium position, but just the podium position, but sharing the changing rooms with someone who is still. well, this is the thing now, katie. so cannot cannot because this is the thing this does the sport to this, which is fairness in sport . and the outcome of who's on the medal podium is the the medal podium there is the other aspect which you've rightly about rightly raised, which is about changing rg changing rooms. okay, now. rg shortly to put up a shortly i'm going to put up a picture for slightly different picture for a slightly different i'm some gender i'm doing about some gender neutral toilets and have read that theatre in london that had a theatre in in london andifs that had a theatre in in london and it's row of urinal and it's got a row of urinal actually and then a cubicle which would mean someone like me would be, you know, happily going about business and then turn and potentially turn around and potentially a rather state of rather unfortunate state of undress confronted my nan, undress confronted by my nan, which think would like, which i don't think would like, or they're probably rather my own, i'm in else's in a own, i'm in someone else's in a situation but when it comes to actual, actual women's safety and would like and changes would you like to see what's meted out by see what's been meted out by sabka and the olympic sabka joe and the olympic committee, down committee, which is level down to younger levels , sport and to younger levels, sport and just children because line just just children because line to world sports now are many

there are very trans people even anywhere close that at the moment what we're talking is actually people at university level sports at kind of national level sports at kind of national level sports. there's very few people kind of anywhere close to olympic rankings yet who are trends . but there are people trends. but there are people i think the world athletics associate asian kind of status who this will affect as well. but sharon was also right sport should be for all and sports should be for all and sports should be for all and sports should be fair. what is healthy for everyone is we got to find ways and this is actually the theatre and toilet issue actually quite a good example. again because what we should be doing is creating attached rather replacing solutions rather than replacing solutions . so if including people . so if you're including people in two existing categories, you're going to be replacing someone else's opportunity. same with toilet . so you add with a toilet. so you add a gender neutral toilet, you don't replace the women's with gender and force anyone into and don't force anyone into uncomfortable . yeah, uncomfortable situation. yeah, you anyone you don't force anyone to uncomfortable situations. okay. you much. i you don't get very much. i enjoyed john, when there enjoyed casey. john, when there is inclusion is diversity and inclusion facilitator now we were

initially about big decision yesterday sabka on the yesterday about sabka on the olympic committee to ban trans athletes from athletes basically from competing, which i think is sense. i think it's a real shame , actually, that it's taken this long. and i think this issue would have really had lot more had hubbard , who is a new had laurel hubbard, who is a new zealand weightlifter, born a man, any good as a male man, never any good as a male weightlifter, qualified for the olympics, female olympics, as a female weightlifter. i just say weightlifter. now can i just say that some in new that will be some poor in new zealand did not to go to zealand now did not get to go to the as a result of the olympics as a result of hubbard being selected as this but i think for everyone laurel , hubbard turned up in what appears to be the shape of her life and didn't threaten the leaderboard. would leaderboard. so we would have a confronted by what would happen if who was born a man if someone who was born a man won an olympic event. won a medal at an olympic event. but on a similar let's get but on a similar theme let's get to story that's mentioned to this story that's mentioned few ago. quickly, want few moments ago. quickly, i want your this. i'm your opinion on this. i'm throwing to you throwing this over to you completely gbviews@gbnews.uk . uk completely gbviews@gbnews.uk. uk theatre has brought in theatre in london has brought in what calls gender inclusive lavatories are five lavatories, but there are five urinals and just one cubicle. i there's a picture of this that

we get. so the lyric hammersmith has been of leaving women feeling uncomfortable at the lyric claims that facilities meet the needs of all individuals who use the building . so i mean it's pretty staggering stuff. can you imagine being a woman stood there watching four blokes having a way waiting for that cubicle can we also for one cubicle but can we also for one second ladies and gents just think of the men in all of this . i don't think men really to be standing there going to the loo knowing that there's a woman behind , them queuing up for behind, them queuing up for a toilet. i don't think you want this? it doesn't it doesn't suit anyone else. it it doesn't say there are no winners in this. why do it? gb views gb news. so what do you use that loo? i never the question i never thought ask but i've asked worse anyway. moving on the front. revolting. yep yesterday. i've got again today. the got to make it again today. the violent across the violent protests across the country king and country mean that the king and queen state visit to queen consort state visit to france been postponed . paris france has been postponed. paris is bordeaux was in is in flames. bordeaux was in flames and emmanuel macron is suffering widespread. us

triggered by pension reforms brought president emmanuel brought in by president emmanuel macron. he wanted to rise the pension age from 62 to 64 and keep mass outrage. keep absolute mass outrage. by the he's just about the way, he's just about clinging on that. with me now in the studio is walker, a royal reporter. i mean, look, reporter. cameron, i mean, look, king charles consort, king charles queen consort, camilla. they were called presumably earlier and told, look, the visit is off. our country is going to hell at anchon country is going to hell at anchor. yeah. my understanding the king had a phone call with emmanuel macron, and it was it was the french government's request postpone in request that they postpone in the french the french parts of the french the french parts of the visit in consultation the state visit in consultation with the british government as well. of course. it's incredibly embarrassing. think for the embarrassing. i think for the french that has french government that this has happened fact happened considering the fact that just 24 hours ago the french interior minister was saying was very much still on saying it was very much still on and looking forward to and they were looking forward to it. hours later, u—turn got it. 24 hours later, u—turn got all protests going on. all these protests going on. very process, by looks very fiery process, by the looks of it. and the decision has been taken to postpone it. king charles clearly would have been wanting to go. he is not one to shy away from danger when

protests are going on, as we have seen with against ins, etc. but security experts have been saying over the last few hours that this would have been the decision to cancel would have been on advice of french been on the advice of french police french security police and french security services who clearly feel it is too unsafe for the king and queen consort to be here. and also doesn't look good politically, it? no politically, does it? no emmanuel the king emmanuel macron having the king and him in the palace of versailles , having a big state versailles, having a big state banquet. well, there's the tens of thousands of protesters outside buildings burning. outside and buildings burning. well, actually well, in fact, there's actually some footage some quite interesting footage of macron point of emmanuel macron at one point having expensive watch having a rather expensive watch on during an interview on his wrist during an interview and that watch off and then taking that watch off under desk and emerging under the desk and that emerging again. realised again. as clearly he realised that optics of everything he that the optics of everything he does relation to money and does in relation to money and personal centre stage personal wealth are centre stage at minute . and so will at the minute. and so what will king charles queen consort camilla scheduled to do that? what were they planning on doing? going and seeing a doing? just going and seeing a little yes. woman little bit france. yes. a woman to be in and bordeaux for parts of a state visit that was meant to be a big procession of the up

never chandeliers. and he was going to be, i believe, going to the parliament as well. the french parliament as well. obviously, the big steak dinner at , best sight to the at the palace, best sight to the french president for four meetings is then going to go to bordeaux to do a couple of engagements. although they weren't haven't made weren't they haven't been made pubuc weren't they haven't been made public buckingham palace to public by buckingham palace to exactly but exactly what he was doing. but clearly, protests in clearly, we've got protests in cities, haven't we? that's the perhaps it was cancelled . but perhaps it was cancelled. but obviously there's two parts to this talk. germany is the second part of next week. that's is still very much going ahead for months. to be months. that's going to be berlin and the whole point of a state visit, of course, and it would have been king charles's foreign trip the head of foreign trip as the head of state the united kingdom is state of the united kingdom is to strengthen relations between two cemented and of two nations. cemented and of course, this post—brexit course, in this post—brexit world, perhaps it's seen as a necessity, according to the british government. that's perhaps france and, perhaps why it's france and, germany, rather than a commonwealth country . but france commonwealth country. but france is postponed , and is clearly being postponed, and the president has been the french president has been speaking at the press conference and hoping reschedule

and he's hoping to reschedule for early summer. but there's still so says a lot time to call. exactly yeah. well, we'll have you around we'll have you around later on when the fire the tear gas has subsided. thank you very. diverse cover, a coven you very. diverse cover, a cover. we'll get the royal. for what it's worth, it was supposed to banquet and. it to this lavish banquet and. it was going to be held at the palace of versailles, which where louis marie antoinette lived course, they lived before of course, they were infamously guillotined . so, were infamously guillotined. so, yes, opening ceremony. yes, the opening ceremony. macron have quite bad. can macron have been quite bad. can you by the way, you imagine, by the way, this was happening in this was happening over here in this country, you would talk about brexit, britain and look at brexit, britain and our look at it. are riots, the street. it. there are riots, the street. we control everyone. we can't control everyone. but of it's happening in of course it's happening in france, a pillar of the france, which is a pillar of the european. and therefore, of course, that bad this course, it's not that bad this kind of stuff happens kind of stuff never happens in eu joined by eu nations. i'm joined now by royal chant. helena, royal broadcaster chant. helena, thank you very much for joining us. one aspects of this us. and one key aspects of this was actually that the french security services really didn't think could guarantee think that they could guarantee . king charles and . the safety of king charles and queen because queen consort because quite a lot of these radical protesters were saying it would be great for their cause if they could

cause as much disruption as possible and pose as much of a as possible. it is shocking . as possible. it is shocking. absolutely shocking. i and this is all over amendment in pension age . many fires everywhere . i age. many fires everywhere. i mean, i know that president macron is so embarrassed . king macron is so embarrassed. king charles as well is so disappointed so much those into these state visits and this is so important because obviously this is a state visit as king charles and goodness , you know. charles and goodness, you know. but i mean, what's so really actually have been polls but the it takes you know talking how you know the foreign office governments and everything and the logistics that goes into it is absolutely phenomenal and i know that he be so disappointed do you think they're laughing at the french a bit i do think we're laughing at the french. and i don't even the royal family are probably laughing a little bit like, oh gosh, they can't think over

can't control it. i think over there they've had to cancel this trip. i think things i think really think everyone wants really i think everyone wants to cement relationship even cement the relationship even further. important to further. the really important to carry on this . and i know it's carry on this. and i know it's going to happen again early summer and everything's going to be rearranged. it's going to be fine. but you know , fires fine. but you know, fires everywhere and doubt something would happen at the banquet palace. this on i'm i, i didn't think you know, i think everyone's pretty shocked i don't think we're like over here. it's quite revolutionary country i would say. yes i don't know. should i? yes, indeed. and it is worth noting, because what i'm getting a lot of in about this are people saying good grief. can you imagine of all of the things going on over here at the things going on over here at the minute and we don't say anything like this over here, do we? it just seem to off we? and it just seem to kick off left and centre over there and a little back as well that we've got more than a million people taking to the in france,

taking to the streets in france, according some sources. according to some sources. i mean, there's a wide ranging variety numbers here. one variety to the numbers here. one news says that a million news outlet says that a million people night. people protested last night. another and another says with three and a half million. so someone needs to find themselves about to calculated hundred calculated that around hundred police injured. there police officers injured. there have arrests. have been hundreds of arrests. some of taking part some people of taking part in the protests indeed as well the protests were indeed as well andifs the protests were indeed as well and it's all rather shocking said were injured as well i should say. and so yes it is pretty catastrophic. yeah, we'll do nothing would imagine to help in and french relief and so do you think the king and queen consort will actually be looking to go back to france at some point and say or do you think while you've had a chance, mr. macron, and we're just going to go on world tour and step. no, go on a world tour and step. no, they will differ that you go back, will be rearranged in back, it will be rearranged in the time. and it's lovely the summer time. and it's lovely to as well they have to know as well that they have the direct phone calls well. the direct phone calls as well. so the president macron actually to charles direct his aides to king charles direct his aides friends. yeah, no, indeed i mean is a although of course it would have been rather humiliating for

to call it off. but yes, a direct of communication. thank you very on the charge that royal broadcaster and now let's cross to okay and a little later on a little bit later on, we are going to be bringing you live shots from paris. by the way, we expect tensions to continue has been rumbling on for days. this doesn't it's going to doesn't look like it's going to stop time which is stop any time soon, which is presumably they've cancelled presumably why they've cancelled this we're going to this visit. but we're going to go to france now to go to france now and speak to stephen who's the author stephen clark, who's the author of elizabeth, the second queen of elizabeth, the second queen of laughs also wrote of laughs and. he also wrote 1000 annoying 1000 years of annoying the french eagle eyed french and eagle and eagle eyed viewers will be viewers and listeners will be able to recognise stephen from yesterday i he's got yesterday. i hope he's got a little bit longer with you today, stephen fingers crossed. although i might have just jinxed are you jinxed. but sir, are you surprised way that the surprised at the way that the french behaved the french have behaved over the idea their age might be idea their pension age might be raised by years? no, no, no raised by two years? no, no, no . all because people say the french are revolutionary. but i don't agree with you. i think there arch conservatives because what they want now is if you try and take away any of their fantastic lifestyle and they go

out on the streets because , you out on the streets because, you know, it's not just pension age, they get fantastic medical cover , working conditions and everything . and if you touch one everything. and if you touch one little thing of their lifestyle, they go on the street and usually not time, but usually the government backs . so it's the government backs. so it's beenin the government backs. so it's been in the past, it's been very efficient. now it's dragging because the president macron has forced the law through using his presidential veto . and that's presidential veto. and that's what it's making people, especially angry. but can i just reassure who want to go to bordeaux? they didn't burn the town hall down. they burned the doom town hall down. they burned the door, which is pretty bad, but it's there's a sort of it's not there's not a sort of heap of wreckage in, the middle of bordeaux, if you want to go there. yes, exactly. well, i smouldering or a torching , smouldering or a torching, whatever is taking whatever you know, is taking place there. both. yes. it's certainly not great is. so can you just explain well you just explain to me as well the optics think it the optics that you think it would have cause for the french people to see the king and queen consort arriving, walking a red carpet, having, however many courses of dinner? it was going

to be the of versailles to be the palace of versailles with emmanuel macron. do you think that have made it just kicked right off even more ostentatious wealth ? ostentatious show of wealth? yeah that would have been completely wrong. they'd already pulled the red carpet, you know the people who who organise red carpets at the presidential already said they were on strike and they weren't going to bring out red carpet. the dinner had already been taken away from their side the symbolism their side because the symbolism of as you said , of their side, as you said, would have been very bad. you know royal palace know, the old royal palace there. and so , unfortunately, there. and so, unfortunately, what, you know, king charles wanted to come purely as a gesture friendship towards france, and it would have been at exactly the wrong time for the french. and unfortunately yet , because, you know , the yet, because, you know, the french are saying macron was like a king. so a meeting another king as they see it, would have very bad. and that's the unfortunate thing. you know, in normal times, king charles

have come here as the queen used to and the queen used to get fantastic reception always towards maybe that because i know. i know there's a bit of a joking right between france and i think in the uk and i like to dine out and that every now and again you know and tribes back and forth and i think it's a little bit of good natured ribbing. okay. i don't have any problems with that whatsoever. and i certainly hope the french don't not going to don't take a i'm not going to stop and when do appear, stop and when they do appear, they appear to be quite pro they do appear to be quite pro royal which strange. royal family, which is strange. i strange to know. i i find it strange to know. i mean, why is that? yeah, it is very strange. i that's i always ask them because whenever a royal tv , you know, royal event i'm on tv, you know, so because i can speak fluent french most of the time i french and most of the time i say them why do you a bunch say to them why do you a bunch of republicans want me to come on and talk about the queen on day and talk about the queen and everything written and everything i've written a little about my little little book about my little book about queen queen elizabeth about the queen queen elizabeth at got to number 23 in the at last got to number 23 in the french bestsellers list books and know the queen of and you know the queen of england she goes but you not

supposed to be monarchist. and i think they actually respected the a lot as we all did as symbol of kind of historic continuity, because the french have got nothing like that , you have got nothing like that, you know, because they've got the eiffel tower with the eiffel tower. come come and wave at you and put a nice on. you know, and put a nice hat on. you know, it doesn't have a jubilee, it doesn't have babies or anything. the royals do. so they're slightly the fact that slightly envious the fact that we brits have this thing, which is non—political it's outside the political system, but it's a strong symbol of your country that a lot of people are quite about and they don't have anything that similar. so they would have seen attacking king charles. i mean, there was a real danger. i think the protest would have gone out there and much more than eggs. his and what no you know do you they would have do you think they would have do you think they would they would have tried they would they would have tried they would really to would have really tried to attack all king. i think i at the very least they would have

tried stop his train down to bordeaux they would have if he'd been he would have been coming through paris in a motorcade . through paris in a motorcade. and that wouldn't have been good. it's not actual strikers who would have. who would have done it. who would have. who would have doneit.theis who would have. who would have done it. the is that these demonstrations rioters elements and extreme elements of both extreme and extreme right who want bring down the government and those those violent people latched themselves on to the protests they're the ones who would do the damage and would have got great political capital out of macron by by being quite aggressive potentially to king charles and camilla would have been could have gone pretty unpleasant, i think. okay now look very, very quickly in just a few words, if it's possible, you write book called 1000 you did write book called 1000 years annoying. the what is years of annoying. the what is the done most the thing that we've done most in that period of time to annoy the well everything. the french? well everything. i think they blame most think the thing they blame most or is still get blamed

or even now is still get blamed as brit for personally burning joan of all you know if i deliberately got you weather like across this what we say is that she's the only that we ever cooked properly as brits. oh i've read here that it's probably been long enough now for that. not to be offensive. but there we go. i'll get then, stephen. thank you much. always a pleasure. stephen clarke, that it author of elizabeth, it was the author of elizabeth, the of armed the second queen of law's armed forces as well. 1000 years forces worth as well. 1000 years of french of annoying the french in relation to our top story, which is that king charles and queen consort camilla not be consort camilla will not be visiting france, a massive visiting france, is a massive humiliation emmanuel but humiliation for emmanuel. but closer few closer to home, the next few days, ministers will be considering big change to the considering a big change to the new migration bill final vote incoming on monday. new migration bill final vote incoming on monday . we know incoming on monday. we know we're going to be talking about after weekend. we've got the possible amendment stop courts after weekend. we've got the possi being1endment stop courts after weekend. we've got the possi being ablenent stop courts after weekend. we've got the possi being able to nt stop courts after weekend. we've got the possi being able to issue) courts from being able to issue injunctions which prevent from being deported. the only way that they could avoid being removed will be to prove that

they face a real risk of serious and irreversible harm. olivia utley joins me now, a political and is a big day for the and olivia is a big day for the deportation stuff because we're getting the getting info out about the numbers people the names of numbers of people the names of people and crimes of people people and the crimes of people who have been deported who should have been deported from would argue. from britain, many would argue. and labour and luvvie and labour mps and luvvie celebrity is banning them from being deported . they could stay being deported. they could stay in the uk, go to on commit things like murder, rape etc. and have some tory mps and now we have some tory mps looking to up this illegal migration to make sure we can frankly before we want. yeah. so this well actually it's a number of amendments, they're all trying to do the same thing essentially trying to sort of copperplate the legislation that rishi has brought forward rishi sunak has brought forward because the worry , the because the worry, the legislation it stands at the legislation as it stands at the moment is that although it's all very well in theory , there is very well in theory, there is a big worry that in practise it's going to get caught up in the european court of human rights . european court of human rights. and what happen is and what will happen is ministers under this law will theoretically be able to deport migrants . migrants will then migrants. migrants will then

take that take their case to human rights lawyers and all get held up in the courts. as we've seen time and time again. so suella braverman hopes that the way she's the legislation, the way she's the legislation, the way it's been being put way it's been being been put forward, will get round the strasbourg courts. but this these amendments are designed to make that absolutely certain suella braverman herself know because she spoke about very openly last year at the end of last year. we'd like to just leave the european court of human rights, but she knows that that isn't government policy. so there is a that there are government ministers, frontbench government ministers, frontbench government ministers, threatening resign unless these amendments go through. well it could well be that one of those ministers is suella braverman herself the home secretary. so this could all end up so we could have could have could have so we could have among and we could be sitting here talking about cabinet ministers resigning it. we could be if the government doesn't seriously consider this

amendment. but it sounds as though are considering this amendment . though are considering this amendment. the only worry from the government's perspective is that there could be a rebellion from sort of moderates in the party who have problems . the party who have problems. the legislation, as it stands , they legislation, as it stands, they think that it's too harsh . well, think that it's too harsh. well, particularly on unaccompanied minors. so they're trying to toughen it up from that angle. but it could be that they have problems with generally distancing ourselves even further from the hra, so that is the line the government, the it this is the thing i mean the flipside it as well is it's apparently against people's human rights to even bother to check whether or not they are an aduu check whether or not they are an adult themselves that's a adult themselves and that's a disastrous consequences. but livia, much livia, thank you very much olivia but let's go olivia utley. oh, but let's go reports that right. okay so i've still got loads coming our way should whistling become should wolf whistling become a offence have you ever been wolf whistle it? did you whistle did you like it? did you hate for worth i can't hate it for it's worth i can't really whistle you it really whistle you know it wasn't me gov, but there we go. apparently if i was to climb some scaffolding, a wolf whistle, someone i found at

below , i would be nicked and below me, i would be nicked and put in prison for two years. thatis put in prison for two years. that is rather long whistle. that is a rather long whistle. i'm patrick christys and this is

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.

gb news a reminder of our top story today. the king state visit to france has been postponed because of violent protests across country. france in flames moving wolf whistling could be made illegal and you yes you you know you could up to two years in prison if you're caught doing it under plans announced by home secretary suella braverman. so the new bill is due for its final reports to the house of commons today. but campaigners say a loophole the say there's a loophole in the proposal would proposal that would let offenders escape prosecution by claiming thought their was claiming they thought their was welcome. i said an absolute minefield. this isn't anyway. joining me now is belinda de lucy. he's a former party mep. and as far as i'm aware has some very strong views on wolf whistling. belinda so if i was

to wolf whistle you . i could get to wolf whistle you. i could get two years in prison. how would you feel about that ? oh awful . i you feel about that? oh awful. i think it's, it's a terrible law. i think it's messy. i think it's vague. i don't think it will work. i think it trivialises the suffering of women who are victims of genuine sexual harassment and rape and sexual assault . i harassment and rape and sexual assault. i also think it infantilize women and girls so much to think that they're so fragile that these small sums show errors that men sometimes that women like and some women don't. so harmful to them that it could end . this man going to it could end. this man going to jail for two years to destroy a man's life. well, wolf whistling i think it's a real distraction can end up damaging relations between women and men. these are my new errors and it's straight out of the book of victim feminism that's been banging on about mansplaining man's man's

corrupting you , demonising every corrupting you, demonising every single thing a man does and making it his. single thing a man does and making it his . i think it is making it his. i think it is where feminism is failing and i think it's putting a lot of girls off feminism. this with men's faults all the time and i think women and girls should be stronger and capable enough to take on uncomfortable situations like that where they feel safe . like that where they feel safe. and to challenge the wolf whistler if they don't like it and or to ignore it or welcome . and or to ignore it or welcome. i don't think this is this should be criminalised at all. i mean, it's remarkable when you look at the catastrophically low conviction rates and prosecution rates, when it comes to rapes and actual sexual assaults and actual grooming gang offences and all of that stuff . but some and all of that stuff. but some bloke up scaffolding , you know, bloke up scaffolding, you know, with a roll up in his mouth and plaster all over wolf whistling down at someone below could be the one to find himself in prison for two years. it is it is pretty shocking. and i think

you've made that point really that you think it diminishes actual genuine effect. i mean, look , some women appear to look, some women appear to welcome, wolf . is that look, some women appear to welcome, wolf. is that fair look, some women appear to welcome, wolf . is that fair not welcome, wolf. is that fair not to actually just every woman hates it? no i don't think so at all. i think wolf whistling from all. i think wolf whistling from a distance with a guy up a scaffold. i don't think it should do any to women or girl a tune and think it's actually quite damaging teaching girls that this is a horrific thing that this is a horrific thing that could happen to them and they need to call the police . i they need to call the police. i think that's a terrible way of bringing up girls and an awful way of demonising men . i think way of demonising men. i think we're quite capable of absorbing compliments and even catcall which can be vulgar. it can be offensive. it is not criminal . offensive. it is not criminal. they should not be put in jail . they should not be put in jail. this is a society issue and men and women should unite and if they see vulnerable women being harassed. we should all stand in and stand up for the girl and not call police. my goodness me, if you want to protect. women

and girls from sexual violence then then focus police into prevent getting rape domestic violence . so the two women that violence. so the two women that are killed every this is nonsensical and trivial izing everything is there distinction to be made there because i know that a lot of women genuine they feel incredibly threatened on the tube for example really creepy threatening men standing incredibly close to them or staring at them just for a very, very long time . is there any very long time. is there any link, do you think, between the type of man who does that and actually goes on to commit proper horrible sexual offences and the guy that thinks it's , and the guy that thinks it's, all right, to shout about a woman's bottom , she walks past woman's bottom, she walks past from scaffolding. i mean, i suppose that's a defence for this kind of law isn't it. if you stop blokes that then you stop those blokes that then that filter, filter on to that won't filter, filter on to more extreme levels of sexual assault etc. yeah. i'm not sure that's ever been proved. i think of laddish boorish . that can of laddish boorish. that can sometimes across as as you know,

making a woman feel uncomfy is very, very different from . a man very, very different from. a man following through and with a crime. and luckily already in law, things like stalking , law, things like stalking, groping. i was groped once on tube. it's horrible, but very different from a man staring you in the tube. and already we have posters up on the tube about stare earing as if we need everything a minute of our lives. police because , we're so lives. police because, we're so fragile and we can't cope with it. but if a man stared at me now the tube, i'd say, what are you staring at? you know, women can talk and. and if they feel safe, they can challenge this behaviour. we need to teach behaviour. and we need to teach our girls if they feel safe, to more of that challenging just very and very quietly, very finely. and it's really seriously what should it as compliment should women it as a compliment sometimes wolf whistled sometimes if that wolf whistled your definitely women my your view a definitely women my age and i have say i've been age and i have to say i've been enough hen parties and, you know, girls nights out , women know, girls nights out, women can a bit wolf whistling and can get a bit wolf whistling and catcalling too i think that has to be human banter. it can't be criminalised and men and women need each other in love

relationship with each other. we should making enemies out should stop making enemies out of other be a little of each other and be a little bit more forgiving on the trivial you trivial issues. linda, thank you very much . ever belinda lucy, very much. ever belinda de lucy, that the former brexit party that is the former brexit party mep wading in on the wolf whistling debate. good stuff, right? loads still to right? so loads more still to come. want of reaction come. i want plenty of reaction to today king to the big story today king charles state visit france charles is state visit france this weekend has postponed this weekend has been postponed because protests because of the violent protests across country got across the country and got louder wait to get louder this i can't wait to get stuck into this more 100 top lawyers have said they're going to to prosecute climate to refuse to prosecute climate change activist good grief but right headlines it right now is you headlines it tatiana . poudre thank you very tatiana. poudre thank you very much and good afternoon this is the latest from the gb newsroom. the first state visit of king charles to france has been postponed because of protests across . the country tens of across. the country tens of thousands of people have been demonstrating against the government's plan to raise the pension age from 62 to 64. the was due to arrive on sunday as

part of a week long trip to europe emmanuel macron has suggested the new date for the will be in the early summer. the winds, the framework now been formally adopted by both the uk and the foreign secretary . the and the foreign secretary. the european commission chaired a meeting earlier to sign off the post brexit trade agreement is after meps voted in favour of the summer despite continued opposition from the dup . the opposition from the dup. the prime minister has stressed the importance of upholding democratic values . at a meeting democratic values. at a meeting with his israeli benjamin netanyahu . he is in london as netanyahu. he is in london as thousands in israel and hear against the law that's been approved by his right coalition critics . it's designed to shield critics. it's designed to shield him from his trial. rishi sunak also called for a de—escalation . tensions in the west bank and ofsted says school inspections will continue despite calls them

to be suspended . unions to be suspended. unions representing teachers and, head teachers want checks to be pulled while a review is carried out . it's after head teacher out. it's after head teacher ruth took her own life in january while waiting for a report , downgraded her school to report, downgraded her school to the lowest possible rating . tv the lowest possible rating. tv onune the lowest possible rating. tv online and derby, plus radio and tune in art. this is gb news. now it's over to . now it's over to. patrick okay . climate activists are the okay. climate activists are the bane of many motorists lives and a blocking glueing themselves to roads etc. these protest by the likes of just up oil and other groups have been on pause of late but if they were to start up again they would have quite a lot of lawyers on their side. it's a really important development exercise because more than 100 barristers,

solicitors, legal, they're planning sign what's called planning to sign what's called a declaration of conscience , declaration of conscience, vowing not represent fossil vowing not to represent fossil fuel companies so they won't defend fuel companies or prosecute climate change protesters . the kind of both protesters. the kind of both sides of the coin case out. there we go. well, i'm joined now by eddie, who is a spokesperson for just stop oil. thank you very much indeed for joining . i thank you very much indeed for joining. i can't thank you very much indeed for joining . i can't give you your joining. i can't give you your full name, can i, but edward westcott . i go by eddie. full name, can i, but edward westcott. i go by eddie. thank you for having me. i'm fair enough. okay, cool. it was easy of eddie. well, what do you. what do you the idea now what do you make the idea now that around 120 legal boffins are saying that wouldn't prosecute you ? they if they your prosecute you? they if they your case was before the. sure. well, i think what need to be talking aboutis i think what need to be talking about is what is it? have they. what is it that they've identified that has made them come out often at great risk to their own career to say, we not prosecute people taking prosecute ordinary people taking peaceful avert the peaceful action to avert the greatest crisis humanity has ever . well yeah, ever faced. well yeah, i understand that. but do you

think it's fair? because they will continue , would imagine, to will continue, would imagine, to defend people like and rapists , defend people like and rapists, etc, and they think presumably then the oil company worse than today. then the oil company worse than today . i think then the oil company worse than today. i think a then the oil company worse than today . i think a little bit of today. i think a little bit of context needed here, patrick. so one and a half degrees of global warming now locked in. if we over two degrees, that will threaten the stability of global civilisation. we could see north of 1 billion climate change refugees at two degrees of global warming and according to the ipcc, any further delay in action on, the climate crisis will be missing a brief and rapidly closing window of opportunity a opportunity. t to secure a liveable, sustainable for all. so i think what these and other legal professionals have done is absolutely heroic . i legal professionals have done is absolutely heroic. i think legal professionals have done is absolutely heroic . i think that absolutely heroic. i think that history will thank them for it. i got obviously there's two sides to this, which is that they're not going to it would appear anyway defending people like oil companies which do like oil companies which are do fine, remarkable, is that fine, remarkable, which is that they possibly they would quite possibly be willing defend murderers, they would quite possibly be

willing as defend murderers, they would quite possibly be willing as i'veend murderers, they would quite possibly be willing as i've said,iurderers, they would quite possibly be willing as i've said, etc.erers, they would quite possibly be willing as i've said, etc. so 5, rapists as i've said, etc. so they do. that's what they're going to do. well, they do that in the legal don't they. but to that. in the legal don't they. but to that . what are you talking that. what are you talking about. sorry patrick. i'm just a 25 year old university student , 25 year old university student, so you would need to invite one of the signatories that this letter, to be clear on what they're actually saying. oh, absolutely. this is the key point. this is absolutely what they've an they've done. this is an absolutely essential that absolutely essential step that they've taken. okay. alright. so why think is absolutely why do you think is absolutely essential protect essential for them to protect actually drive a coach and horses legal system horses the british legal system in doing things in the way of doing things because is the holding because there is the not holding the rule of law upholding rule of okay these are their of law. okay these are their words. the climate breakdown , a words. the climate breakdown, a serious risk to the rule of law. those are not my words. those are the signatories words. now, why you think they're saying that? but get what you that? yeah, but get what you saying. because that's the argument that like yourself, use which entitled argument that like yourself, use wh which entitled argument that like yourself, use wh which if entitled argument that like yourself, use wh which if the entitled argument that like yourself, use wh which if the climate tled to, which is if the climate emergency to fruition emergency just comes to fruition and then there and it does happen, then there will breakdown in law and

will be the breakdown in law and order and there will be mass death, etc. and i guess all of that get what you're saying and you're perfectly your you're perfectly entitled your view. country, view. but in this country, lawyers abide by what's view. but in this country, lawyerthe abide by what's view. but in this country, lawyerthe campabide by what's view. but in this country, lawyerthe camp rank by what's view. but in this country, lawyerthe camp rank rule vhat's view. but in this country, lawyerthe camp rank rule isat's called the camp rank rule is when essentially comes when a case essentially comes across their lap, have across into their lap, they have to take which means that to take it, which means that they discriminate they don't discriminate against person, decide person, that they decide to defend prosecute, and then defend or prosecute, and then making an exception, you guys on this, you not think that this, do you not think that maybe precedent maybe sets a dangerous precedent going the british going forward for the british justice again, have justice system? again, i have the qualifications to comment on that. speak for that. i can only speak for myself someone taking action myself as someone taking action with a boil or. fair with just a boil or. fair enough. when it comes to you not being prosecuted by of this law, obviously other people will continue. how a material continue. how much of a material difference actually goes to make? is thing. but one of make? is one thing. but one of the individual is fronting . this the individual is fronting. this is guy called julian morgan is a guy called julian morgan who did it. no, absolutely zero. yeah. he clubbed a fox to death in his own back garden and was wearing his wife's kimono on boxing it's particularly boxing day. so it's particularly eco friendly. is it did he really . i didn't hear that. eco friendly. is it did he really. i didn't hear that. i'd have to check that. but what he did it . yeah. does change did it. yeah. does that change your opinion him? always

your opinion of him? it's always an hero. well that's a details. yeah. so i. i'm not sure i believe that person that i would need. check that. so. so but what can i just bring, get back to the main issue here, which is that we're facing the greatest crisis, humanity has ever faced. and finally, you know, the legal professional is taking its responsibility. that's how i see it. okay. so is going to make it more likely for you to go do a load of stuff this summer? have you got anything up? you'll be glueing yourself to anything anything. well, it's funny you should ask that, actually because extend a warm because i would extend a warm invitation , all your viewers, to invitation, all your viewers, to come us on april the come and join us on april the 24th. as so, so much 24th. and so much as so, so much as are entirely legal and yeah, we're going to be doing a march after day, week after week, until the government the until the government does the right commit to ending right thing and commit to ending new fossil licences the new fossil fuel licences in the uk. have you ever been arrested for anything you've done? for anything that you've done? yeah arrested six yeah i've been arrested six times i was in prison for times and i was in prison for a week remand. yeah. and did week on remand. yeah. and did you find that that was actually

quite useful for you in terms of raising awareness, because that was element was one one interesting element to this wonder whether or not you guys were actually, although it you bang in it sounds like you are bang in favour because sometimes it sounds like you are bang in fa can because sometimes it sounds like you are bang in fa can to because sometimes it sounds like you are bang in fa can to a because sometimes it sounds like you are bang in fa can to a cause:ause sometimes it sounds like you are bang in fa can to a cause can't sometimes it sounds like you are bang in fa can to a cause can't stayetimes it sounds like you are bang in fa can to a cause can't stay ifmes it can to a cause can't stay if people sent prison and people get sent to prison and people get sent to prison and people get sent to prison and people get prosecuted and drunk through the justice system. so if that happen if this meant that didn't happen what weaken what it actually does weaken your ? that's very your cause? that's very interesting question . all that interesting question. all that matters at the end of the day that the government does the right i i wouldn't be, right thing. i be i wouldn't be, you know, on the streets getting arrested, to if the arrested, going to prison if the government done right thing. government had done right thing. i just want to make that absolutely you know, and absolutely clear. you know, and this the first time we've this is the first time we've met, patrick, but i hopefully you from domain you can tell from my domain i'm not person that not the kind of person that enjoys going out and making nuisance all i want nuisance of myself. all i want is for the government to do the right i've got right thing so that i've got a liveable , that all of liveable future, that all of humanity has a liveable. and whether that comes to civil resistance that comes through in other means. whether that comes the system itself, that's the legal system itself, that's all matters. just need to see all matters. we just need to see change and we need to sit. now,

if engaging in civil if you engaging in civil disobedience, even a slow walk example or something i suppose more illegal, but it's a slow. so right from what i can gather, isn't it under the current legal it's go yeah actually glueing it's go yeah so actually glueing yourself to something and an ambulance pulls up behind you you can't get through and someone in the back of the someone dies in the back of the ambulance you think you ambulance do you think you should prosecuted then . well should be prosecuted then. well we have a blue light policy and just oil which yeah. that will always move the about. but always move the way about. but it didn't stop blue light so i get that but you glue to get that but if you glue to something can't move out the something you can't move out the way can you. and that is what happened last time there was footage of well footage of it as well and ambulances find ambulances didn't always find their and also when their way through. and also when it came to things like on various different motorways, people traffic people were in massive traffic jams and. people were having strokes, were going jams and. people were having strokes,people were going jams and. people were having strokes,people missedoing labour, people missed chemotherapy appointments, etc. labour, people missed c mean, |erapy appointments, etc. labour, people missed cmean, howy appointments, etc. labour, people missed cmean, howy appthatnents, etc. labour, people missed cmean, howy appthat make etc. labour, people missed cmean, howy appthat make you i mean, how does that make you feel, because you say feel, eddie? because you say that don't enjoy doing this that you don't enjoy doing this kind and i know the kind of stuff and i know the legal some them legal profession, some of them are behind you as. it are getting behind you as. it were. but as i've already said would question the moral compass

of some those people and of some of those people and whether maybe are using whether not they maybe are using you , for you for their own clout, for their own fundraising. and i do think that's something might want to consider when it comes to couple, those people. to a couple, those people. but if people suffering in the if real people suffering in the back and dying, do you back of cars and dying, do you not think you should be prosecuted that? well, prosecuted for that? well, to the best of my knowledge, no one has died because of anything that done. okay. but what that we've done. okay. but what we is millions, not we do know is that millions, not billions people will die if billions of people will die if the does not the the government does not do the right thing. right. so it's a question of proportionality. why? me just reiterate, why? and let me just reiterate, as soon as the government does the thing, i'll campaign the right thing, i'll campaign will cease to exist . okay. will cease to exist. okay. alright just clarify one final. what you want the government to do that it's not doing so the government has over 100 new fossil fuel licences in the pipeline. so this is in the context of the ipp ipcc saying that any delay action will destroy any chance of a liveable future. we've got the international energy agency, which is sort of the world's

leading authority on energy. they're saying that no new fossil fuel projects were needed as of about two years ago. so any any say any government, any corporation that's investing in new fossil fuel infrastructure is going against the recommendation of the world's leading authority on energy policy. so just want the government to do what these bodies are saying that they should now, just very should do. okay. now, just very finally on this, one of the people who is backing up for this particular cause, one of the people who's going to sign this, this, this this declaration say we declaration to say what we prosecute you a chap called prosecute you is a chap called paul land. and he was paul powers land. and he was protesting after the queen so people were moaning the queen's death. okay and he saw fit to use that opportunity , protest use that opportunity, protest about the future of , the british about the future of, the british monarchy. do you really want to be associated with these kind of people ? i don't really have a on people? i don't really have a on it. okay. like, you know, obviously 120 legal professionals, there'll be in views. i'll share some things

with them. i'll share other things. i won't share with them. okay. all that matters to me in this context is that they've come out and said this crucial thing absolute a crucial thing is absolute a crucial message to be shared, message that needs to be shared, which that, know, lawyers which is that, you know, lawyers and other professionals and other legal professionals should be prosecuting people should not be prosecuting people like people who just want like me, people who just want a liveable future for humanity . liveable future for humanity. okay, thank you very okay, eddie, thank you very much. i enjoyed our discussion. i think we've before. i i think we've spoken before. i do that we speak again, do hope that we speak again, though and yeah, i was going to say patrick, say good like you, patrick, but that's all right. he was spokesperson for just stop oil. right. what do make right. well, what do you make that judgement is rather a lot to your and to go out there. your ears and eyes not deceive you. legal professionals going eyes not deceive you. legal professic of ls going eyes not deceive you. legal professicof them going eyes not deceive you. legal professicof them anyway,]oing eyes not deceive you. legal professicof them anyway, notg to some of them anyway, not prosecute people eddie who prosecute people like eddie who could themselves to could be glueing themselves to things town, argue very, things in a town, argue very, very how you feel very shortly. how do you feel about that? yes, it is about all of that? yes, it is also, i think, worth noting some of the people who behind of the people who are behind this of this declaration this sort of this declaration of conscience anyway, conscience as well, anyway, should university students have triggered books? triggered warnings on, books? excuse they excuse me. sorry. oh, they actually things worse . actually making things worse. got was all. got got john. oh, that was all. got too much for patrick too much for i've patrick christys this is

okay welcome back everybody . now okay welcome back everybody. now a reminder of our top story today. the king state visit to france has been postponed because of violent protests. the country. we will have more on that as and when we get. but yes, not a good day for emmanuel macron, of course, right now, more and books at more and more books at universities have trigger. universities have got trigger. so believe and in some so would you believe and in some places students are warned . the places students are warned. the bible says the bible contains shocking sexual violence . and shocking sexual violence. and apparently oliver twist child abuse. apparently oliver twist child abuse . but all these trigger abuse. but all these trigger warnings need it or they counterproductive and actually making think that they are frail . joining me now is linda murdock from the scottish union for education . and linda, where for education. and linda, where do you stand on this? do you happen to find the bible particularly offensive . no i'm

particularly offensive. no i'm against trigger warnings because . not only do they indicate the universities have moved away from their the great, which was the transmission of knowledge, but they they tell students that we think we are told that are too frail to deal with uncomfortable or even ideas that they don't agree . so they are a they don't agree. so they are a complete you know the completely wrong university should should really be ashamed of themselves and stop promoting stop using them. i've got a theory things like trigger warnings and, mollycoddling children at schools. this is before , by the schools. this is before, by the way, we've got started on some of the other stuff appears to be going on in schools these days. it's actually going to lead to more mental issues with more mental health issues with children just does children because it just does not for the not prepare them for the real world whatsoever. if you've got trigger warnings on books, oliver i mean, good oliver twist, i mean, good grief. oliver twist, i mean, good gnef go oliver twist, i mean, good grief. go the grief. when they go into the workplace sectors of workplace in certain sectors of our what on earth is our i mean what on earth is going this of total

going to happen to this of total breakdowns that. well and breakdowns are that. well and you know what you say is true and you can really see that we've got you know, we are surprised and we're upset that between a quarter and our sort of university students now say they've got mental health problems . is they've got mental health problems. is it any wonder that they are saying that they're reporting health problems when all we seem to do is tell them that to fail to deal with any of these things. now it's important that the i think parents and others out there understand that universities no know shaped universities are no know shaped by a whole universe policy on student mental health and wellbeing and that that universities have moved away from knowledge being the primary purpose their their mission to safeguarding student mental health at all times. and this is actually university policy came in in 2000 and something 17 and no oblige is all universities to of course design the building

design and ways all staff deal with students is framed by a concern about their mental health and wellbeing. no we are signalling this to that that means that they think that we don't think that they're capable of taking on as you say, the ideas of life and exercise outside university is something more sinister going on here. i know that we tend to have a little bit of a joke about roald dahl being censored or, you know, being more hajo now child friendly and some words being taken of hand. then you've got trigger warnings, oliver twist and about child abuse, all of this stuff. but is there something more sinister going on here about censorship or about indoctrination at that? well, it's interesting you say because the scottish for education of which i am i'm one of the members of are really concerned but knowledge back at the centre of the curriculum because caitlin's moved away from from daraa to a concern about student feelings or pupil feelings and no concerned about social

justice. so what we've got now here is education institutions have been captured by social justice. so now it's not only about feelings, but about ensuring that a children's sexuality is safeguarded and, you know, parents and school and are beginning to say well enough , is enough. we need to see the kind of adult sexual education thatis kind of adult sexual education that is being communicated to our children . so episodes just our children. so episodes just to sort of just cut across that. we've only got a couple of minutes left. isn't it bizarre that all ghibli the same people who think that there should be trigger think, that trigger on the bible think, that it's to have drag in it's okay to have drag queens in schools ? i don't know. i'm not schools? i don't know. i'm not tied to there's some kind of conspiracy theory out there by i'm trying to say that those the are being taught and the teacher training schools and the ideas being taught to our teachers are all of those of social justice. if you look at the general

teaching council scotland they require headteachers to be concerned not the education policy but with social justice. as mentioned so many times in the document, they've got to sign off , they become sign off, they become headteacher so we are looking at the culture by you what people call walk, but it's not just walk at a pushing these ideas as well so it's not like it's like you know i can 688 is much wiser that and we need to we to get parents we want parents and educators together to begin to question this indoctrination and get involved in the scottish education to do so. but that becomes a lot of pressure parris doesn't that and he don't want to be taken off the old dinner party circuit or the carpool circuit over beating up bigoted couple raised that couple they've raised a that doesn't believe in whatever else but you very much but lynda thank you very much thank thank you, thank you. thank you. thank you, linda this. linda murdoch for this. go to janine. education railing janine. education just railing against of a against trigger warnings of a variety different books, variety of different books, which and which includes the bible and oliver never ending,

oliver twist. it's never ending, isn't. very quickly, let's get to a strange that caught to a strange story that caught my today. loads of you've my eye today. loads of you've been in touch on this. been getting in touch on this. actually, raised it earlier on actually, i raised it earlier on a theatre. brought in a theatre. london has brought in what gender inclusive what it calls gender inclusive loos, are urinals loos, but there are five urinals and okay, so in the and one cubicle. okay, so in the lyric, hammersmith has been accused women feeling accused of women feeling uncomfortable. ladies, because understand that, ladies, because don't want to queuing up for don't want to be queuing up for the while. a load of men are the loo while. a load of men are urinate to you, can urinate next to you, but can just for second, amy, on just for one second, amy, on this can spare a thought this. can you spare a thought for poor bloke? don't want for the poor bloke? i don't want to the toilet. a woman to go to the toilet. a woman stands behind me and observes i don't need. i'm a life . okay, so don't need. i'm a life. okay, so anyway, would you use that? i'll go emails shortly. go to your emails very shortly. gb views at gbnews.uk. and of course in course it's all kicking off in france. violent across france. violent protests across country king and queen country mean the king and queen consort passed consort visit has been passed phoned. i'm patrick christys major. stay tuned. get your views coming in. vaiews@gbnews.uk this is .

patrick oke. welcome aboard, everybody. there's only one place to start. this particular, and that is the decision to postpone the king and queen consort state to and queen consort state visit to mainly because the massive mainly because of the massive riots and fires they were due travel to france on sunday. but hundreds of people were arrested last night. violent demonstrations swept across the country. now viewers on gb news see images of the town hall of or what's left of it, the smoulder ing wreckage of it, which was set alight by protesters yesterday. so the king queen consort been king and queen consort have been scheduled that scheduled visit bordeaux on that trip. probably for the best trip. so probably for the best that didn't go. the that they didn't go. the protests triggered by protests were triggered by pension brought in by pension reforms brought in by beleaguered emmanuel beleaguered presidents emmanuel macron . tear gas was used in macron. tear gas was used in paris . hundreds of people have paris. hundreds of people have been injured. hundreds of people have been arrested . hundreds of have been arrested. hundreds of police officers have been . and police officers have been. and according to some reports around and million people and a half million people marched france yesterday alone . marched france yesterday alone. hopefully a little bit later

this hour, we will take live images from whatever is kicked off paris, which no off evening in paris, which no doubt to be up yet doubt promises to be lit up yet . i'm going to get to common walker , who is our royal walker, who is our royal reporter who's in the studio with me right now. so the king and consort got a phone and queen consort got a phone call old emmanuel call from good old emmanuel earlier said, no, earlier on. and he said, no, i country's on fire. yeah, it like there was definitely a phone call between, the king at least, and emmanuel macron. it was the french government requesting that and queen consort that the king and queen consort postpone the palace of postpone, the french palace of their state, in consultation with the british government as . with the british government as. i mean, incredibly embarrassing . french . think for the french governments was only governments it was only yesterday minister yesterday the interior minister of french government was of the french government was saying, visit saying, hey, this state visit still everything's still going on. everything's absolutely fine. 24 hours later, they are voting back or not in quite some u—turn . clearly, quite some u—turn. clearly, you're seeing images now if you're seeing images now if you're watching on television of objects, protests going clearly very violent . some of you know, very violent. some of you know, some people want non—violence, but nonetheless , it seems to be but nonetheless, it seems to be the case. well it's security was

a big look in those pictures. it is obscured is a big concern . is obscured is a big concern. security experts have been saying over the last hours that this would have been on advice of the french police and the french security services to, postpone the visits because perhaps they not guarantee the king and queen consort i'm sure king and queen consort i'm sure king charles would much king charles would very much see, persevere and keep going . see, persevere and keep going. he likes getting up close and personal with the crowds, however, and therefore, perhaps it was seen that that was too much of a risk. i mean, he hasn't seemed to mind as on numerous occasions now some protesters him protesters tried to turn him into at some point, into an omelette at some point, a lovely load of eggs at him. and he's just got back the and he's just got back on the horse and gone again horse hasn't and gone again the next and been right next day and that's been right but suppose this may be but i suppose this may be a bndge but i suppose this may be a bridge too far. yeah, it did bridge too far. but yeah, it did come from the french, didn't it? it it wasn't the buckingham palace decision, although perhaps in perhaps it's a blessing in disguise, because clearly, if all going, all these protests were going, it much have it very much would have overshadowed whole meaning of the building the tour, which was building relations from and relations from france and germany first foreign germany at the first foreign visits of king charles as the head of . it interesting.

head of. it is interesting. yeah. because so is yeah. because he certainly so is going go to germany going to still go to germany because we're aware, because as far as we're aware, germany now not on fire. germany is now not on fire. yeah, germany is not fire. there is no process. as we that is no process. as we know that we know in germany and we know about in germany and that still very much going that is still very much going ahead to friday ahead from wednesday to friday next berlin and hamburg. next week berlin and hamburg. but i think the other big point with the pallets point, perhaps with the pallets point, perhaps with the pallets point, perhaps with the french decision to postpone this tour is the fact of having king and the president in the palace versailles dining on this lavish banquet when this protest is fires burning, it perhaps is giving it marie—antoinette look and yes, harking back to the french, she of course, was beheaded. so we wouldn't want like that, would we, now? cameron thank you very much. walker that royal much. cameron. walker that royal reporter. now by reporter. i'm joined now by royal richard royal commentator richard fitzwilliams . richard, fitzwilliams. richard, great stuff. very for stuff. thank you very much for us on this particular one. i mean look, this is an utterly humiliate issue for emmanuel macron, isn't it ? and i humiliate issue for emmanuel macron, isn't it? and i mean shocking. king charles supposed to be going around clearly building bridges with the european union wasn't because

he's going see the two he's not going to see the two key pillars of the you got key pillars of the eu. you got france and you'll be in germany. but to france but he can't go to france because it's essentially like a modern revolution out there. modern day revolution out there. what says i'm no doubt that it is extremely embarrassing for president macron. i mean question that until recently the french socialist friend insisting that the eu would go ahead. there's a question that with an acute we looked at these photographs of the footage of bordeaux tom hall blazing . well, bordeaux tom hall blazing. well, i mean, this was supposed to be part of the picture tonight of the optics . the king most the optics. the king most certainly couldn't have done walkabouts. and have had walkabouts. and you'd have had to very, very strict total. to had very, very strict total. so, for example , the wreath so, for example, the wreath laying at arc de triomphe, the address , the french senate to address, the french senate to both house, there's the banquet. all of this was part and parcel of an attempt to rebrand relations, which was very important because in thousand years, i mean , migration, which years, i mean, migration, which post—brexit with the eu and

northern ireland with fishing , northern ireland with fishing, there's absolutely no question there's absolutely no question there will be a submarine deal as well resented by the french that were raised for extending the hand of goodwill which rishi sunak and macron seemed have got on rather what exactly the you can't just say politely we've done the french in absolutely favour because if charles had said no, we're going to come , said no, we're going to come, then emmanuel macron would have to deal with the optics of having wreaths being laid with tear gas going off in the background and paris and mounds rubbish we knew was raising the issue the. fact there was so much rubbish left on the streets of paris anyway. i mean if anyone seen that netflix series is it emily in paris. i mean paris is like that when you get off at the golden door is absolutely horrendous. so we saved emmanuel macron from utter, embarrassment . who utter, utter embarrassment. who are they? is no doubt that they persisted a rematch. of course,

the past. the king was consigned acts on government advice. there's doubt that was obviously concerned at the palace in britain, but had there any britain, but had there been any incidents? i very likely. i mean, this is the one of the points a very large number of threats had been made that this would be disrupted , that the would be disrupted, that the royal visit could expect trouble. a lot of comments and perhaps action. who knows ? but perhaps action. who knows? but regarding versailles, i industrials anyway symbolic as and cameron discussing i mean it looks ludicrous from that point of view it would have been an outside humiliation and france's with that both being a parliament bypassed that vote it's a set of what is basically form of anarchy after yesterday's protests and we'll see what happens next. and that was timed as well. obviously, barring relatives, it didn't mind, so it couldn't ahead. obviously not. no, it could. look, richard, thank you very much. charles over richard fitzwilliams that it was a royal commentator. let's to paris now

and speak to journalist peter alum peter i and speak to journalist peter alum peteri have and speak to journalist peter alum peter i have you all keeping well and safe and yes okay none of those books behind you are on fire doesn't appear to be any rubbish anywhere or you choking on tear gas. but one of the key issues at play was the that clearly the french the fact that clearly the french security did not security services did not feel absolutely comfortable that they would able to keep king would be able to keep king charles and queen consort camilla safe amid the threats really that they could be used could it they had targeted to further the own ambitions view your views on that was concerning brits i think isn't it . yeah. well i've been out on it. yeah. well i've been out on these demonstrations the last eight nights, believe it or not, since emmanuel macron pushed this retirement legislative without the say so of the national assembly, which the equivalent of the house of commons over here and the works have been absolutely extraordinary re of policemen getting beaten up , shot windows getting beaten up, shot windows being smashed paving stones

being smashed paving stones being torn up so they can turn to the police. rubbish is absolute everywhere and that's been burnt. there 146 arson attacks in central paris last night alone. and this isn't just the outskirts. this isn't the sort of housing estates on the miles away from the centre. this is the heart of progress. paris is the heart of progress. paris is you're seeing bordeaux there and pictures. that was where charles and camilla were meant to be visiting on tuesday . and to be visiting on tuesday. and there's no doubt they would not have been . to as a for wanting have been. to as a for wanting to shake hands with and mix with people, be aloof. it's impossible for him to do that is absolutely right. decision security reasons alone. patrick can't just say, you know, if this taking place in central or manchester or liverpool or whatever, there will be people , whatever, there will be people, right? they look at the state of brexit, britain, what a horrible little cesspit we've become .

little cesspit we've become. this is happening in france now and was supposed to be a tool that was going to try to bolster. yes, english and french relations, but also relations with the eu mean he's going to france and he's going to germany. charles, isn't germany. king charles, isn't he? and of, course, big and they are of, course, two big eu right. and so this eu pillars, right. and so this is bad look for is a pretty bad look for emmanuel macron potentially emmanuel macron and potentially the a whole, the european union as a whole, isn't ? it's a terrible look, isn't it? it's a terrible look, of course, is i have to say, it is nothing particularly new and it will it has been going on in french republic since its foundation the most famous revolution in the world, 1789 since then have been schools of revolutions , riots and not just revolutions, riots and not just against emmanuel macron. recent but all his predecessors suffered them. remember the late john patrick, the yellow vests say well today rioting literally became . institutionalised from became. institutionalised from 2018 because an assassin said thing is shocking you got to through on the chancellor's a the off the triomphe is on fire museum i'm thought france will be smashed up. yes i saturday

night. yes fantastic. well, peter countries are very quietly and finally. that's right. you've obviously been out that thing you've been witnessing these events for the last eight or so nice one would imagine is going to carry on again this doesn't look as though there's any sign of it. it's still be i mean, is macron toast here or no, not at all. the french president is almost indestructible. the institution of the president is so safeguarded against problems like this. his minister, elisabeth born she could well be sacked . they see he goes through sacked. they see he goes through them like as assaults. i mean that all the time. but the has got four years left he has to fix them because he's had two terms but emmanuel . yeah good terms but emmanuel. yeah good stuff doug brown loving the imagery there of the prime minister. thank you very much, peter. always a pleasure and take care . you're out and about take care. you're out and about again tonight. reports are going to peter robin, who's in paris. he's a journalist covering all

the protests the riots is the protests and the riots is taking place. that was top taking place. that was our top story. that's, of course, as the visits charles and queen visits of king charles and queen and off key because. and camilla is off key because. emmanuel macron has basically said, look i'm terrified that you and it's you might be attacked and it's safe over next few safe anyway over the next few days, ministers be days, ministers will be considering the considering a big change to the government's migration . government's new migration. there's vote on monday. there's a final vote on monday. we drill by now. it's we all the drill by now. it's the illegal migration bill. it's looking to secure borders. looking to secure our borders. but there are going to be a few amendments at least tabled. so one of them is designed to stop people from having the last minute against their deportation , especially in light of the fact that we've seen already now more and more people coming out who should have been deported were stopped from being deported who should have been deported were load3ed from being deported who should have been deported were load ofi from being deported who should have been deported were load of labour)eing deported who should have been deported were load of labour mps deported who should have been deported were load of labour mps and orted by a load of labour mps and lovely celebrities who signed a to say please keep these people in the country. some of them have on murder and deal have gone on to murder and deal drugs and all sorts of unspeakable crimes so that's taking some tory mp taking place. so some tory mp want to stop that from happening again, i think lot of again, which i think a lot of people would as fair people would regard as fair enough. is of course

enough. there is of course another man wants go one another man who wants to go one step and the of step further and stop the use of migrant hotels completely. and it conservative it is the conservative mp jonathan i'm pleased jonathan gullet, who i'm pleased say joins me jonathan, good say joins me now. jonathan, good stuff. you i going stuff. how are you i going see my friend. are you. yes, i'm my friend. how are you. yes, i'm very . so what you very well. so what are you actually tabling here? well, it got do got a good hearing. do you think? there's there's think? well, there's a there's a small of us of these small group of us of these qualities the signatures. qualities from the signatures. the amendments working the amendments have been working together to come up. and yes, i've specific ones the i've two specific ones as the lead in my name. one is to actually make illegal effectively use hotels to effectively to use hotels to stop and the use hotels enabling us to force the hand to alternative accommodation in short term, but ultimately making sure that we do on to deliver getting people from the uk to save their countries . and uk to save their countries. and another one that says that even if someone removed and they try some sort of human rights claim that is, you know, clearly just some sort of. let's see, lawyers love it. they actually won't be able to see that person returned back. able to see that person returned back . the uk able to see that person returned back. the uk and their case would have be heard if would have be heard even if they're in safer country. they're in a safer country. because the last thing that we

need undermine the idea of need is undermine the idea of removing then removing someone who could then be will just be brought back. that will just because for the smuggling because send for the smuggling gangs bring people over. gangs want to bring people over. yeah i mean, how do you think any them going to tell is any of them are going to tell is going go down? he might have going to go down? he might have a tough job there because i suppose the government alone might back on it. might not want to back on it. they seem to love putting them in why say is that? i've in hotels. why say is that? i've had actually helpful had actually very helpful conversations number conversations with both number 10 secretary and 10 and the home secretary and i'm to push this to i'm not looking to push this to a vote. i'm looking to do a vote. what i'm looking to do is help government when is to help the government when it maybe any blockages it comes to maybe any blockages within civil service to find alternative accommodation sites, but to it very but ultimately to make it very clear that the hotels have to end not £7 million a day, needs to stop being spent, and that we need carry on with actually getting on with what prime minister do, which is minister wants to do, which is get deported to safe third get deported to a safe third country. if do that, then country. if we do that, then there won't be a for hotels there won't be a need for hotels or even a need to looking or even a need to start looking for of other accommodation for lots of other accommodation within united kingdom. within our united kingdom. i don't see housing use. don't want to see housing use. we old mode sites that we do have old mode sites that the be used . we do,

the use could be used. we do, i'm have well . you know, i'm sure have as well. you know, the that we about , the boats that we talked about, the boats that we talked about, the as well, that could be the coast as well, that could be used well, but also we should used as well, but also we should be carrying out deals with france for returns agreements and whilst expect the promise to work very on deal with work very on that deal with emmanuel macron. i was disappointed that for £500 we didn't get a return agreement in place, which to me is obviously critical as well. if we're going to well, i mean to stop this. well, yeah. i mean , money macron's got a rather large clean up bill on his hands now, given what's been going on in in, bordeaux. we've in paris in, bordeaux. so we've quite possibly paid quite possibly have paid for some thank you very some of that thank you very much. get into the british much. get get into the british taxpayer piggy bank of taxpayer being the piggy bank of the world. that we when it the world. but that we when it comes deportations now comes to deportations of now i know feel very strongly know you feel very strongly about and a lot of people about this and a lot of people do well i wasn't shocked do i was well i wasn't shocked to find out that several mps unloaded lovisa liabilities decided without any idea decided to sign without any idea what kind of individual was on a deportation flight . so our deportation flight. so our intelligence services , our intelligence services, our government and our security had all come to the conclusion this

variety of people needed to be deported from britain . but the deported from britain. but the intellectual weight lovely celebs from north london . no, it celebs from north london. no, it must be horrific racist. and so they signed a letter to say well please, please, please don't deport them . and then some deport them. and then some people go to kill people. people go on to kill people. deal right. people do deal drugs, right. people do whatever shouldn't be whatever i it shouldn't be a shock, should it? i mean, can you trust to actually you trust people to actually really to get control of really want to get control of our still well, our borders still that well, understand people are understand why people are worried because as you said, even opposition even the leader opposition sir keir flip—flop keir starmer mr. flip—flop changes from pillar to post wherever the principle wind blows signed a letter they with other colleagues to stop flights of foreign criminals being of 50 foreign criminals being deported back to jamaica. seven of i believe the sun of those i believe the sun uncovered in their report. well, as not one showed that as i recall, not one showed that had gone on to carry on other crimes. and when he was up in stoke on yesterday and stoke on trent yesterday and asked question from jack, he asked the question from jack, he refused to apologise and he refused to apologise and said he stood record, which stood by his record, which i find astonishing. just find astonishing. it just goes to show labour can't be to show that labour can't be trusted in. they are going to cave they always will, the

cave as they always will, to the woke celebrity on twitter who want to virtually every opportunity and course they must know better , all of us, because know better, all of us, because they obviously out and about and so contract knock on the doors knock on look at the hotels in my constituency being taken up. look we've now look at the fact that we've now got one asylum seeker for every 30 residents in the city centre. war hanley and i'm war of attrition, hanley and i'm sure they'll understand because they're so and they're so clever and so and virtuous about know why we're so wrong to be angry the reality is they're out of touch and then they're out of touch and then they is out to a garbage i said or the do you think that some people need to get home? i understand that keir starmer decided to grace stoke on trent with presence. i'm not sure with his presence. i'm not sure how around he did how much walking around he did particularly, but when they actually, of virtue actually, for all of the virtue that we see on social for media, all of the very loud people in the government because this the government because of this world pipe, you world that, you know, pipe, you will for thinking if will be forgiven for thinking if you just online around . you just went online around. half british population half of the british population were against, illegal were dead against, this illegal migration you look migration bill. but if you look at actual polling, it at the actual polling, it was put together by good. when you

realise 52% of people are realise that 52% of people are basically in favour it and in basically in favour of it and in fact only around 16% of people are completely it. so you are in the majority don't i though you wouldn't believe it, would you? if you listen to twitter, my fellow people like you and me bothered, about what twitter has to say and are correct. keir starmer in stoke on trent starmer was up in stoke on trent talking thought talking about crime. i thought was choice of place to go was a good choice of place to go because stoke on labour are very good career with having good career with one having allegedly arrested, allegedly been arrested, a runner being for runner being arrested for allegedly assaulting an emergency worker and another one having got months in having previously got months in prison and prison for fraud and false accounting. if wants to accounting. so if he wants to understand stokeontrentlive is the place quickly learn from. the place to quickly learn from. but can say is that at the but all i can say is that at the end of the we've got end of the day we've got a labour party that simply doesn't care this issue . it care about this issue. it doesn't even mention it in its five missions. pretend five missions. wants to pretend tough. and talk tough tough. we'll try and talk tough . their plight simple, just . their plight is simple, just simply processing people simply to keep processing people without even saying that they would on to people who are would be on to people who are coming and without even coming in and without even saying bring down the saying they would bring down the current acceptance

current seven in ten acceptance rate, utterly rate, which is utterly appalling, would appalling, and they would have safe, routes without any safe, illegal routes without any understanding what actually understanding of what actually means, essentially means, which is essentially gateways the world. gateways from around the world. worlds people worlds have millions of people appued worlds have millions of people applied to this country overwhelm the system, even further. so i just think labour are more than happy to come out with them. they can bring their mini bring the up mini bus up or bring the up wherever want to i'll wherever they want to do. i'll take them on a across take them out on a bar across stoke trent kidsgrove stoke on trent north kidsgrove and talk and they will see boy this definitely the this is definitely after the cost living. one of the cost of living. one of the top issues my they also issues in my and they also understand if they want to have any chance winning in any hope of chance winning in this great area of stoke trent nonh this great area of stoke trent north kidsgrove and so they better better better get serious and better game grateful that game plan i'm grateful that prime actually prime minister names actually do have to do is have and all i want to do is help them deliver it. look help them deliver it. oh look jonathan, thank very much. jonathan, thank you very much. jonathan. sighs jonathan. godless sighs conservative it's conservative mp. i think it's important to say, isn't important as well to say, isn't it, that the labour party are not here to defend themselves? no will be feeling no doubt labour will be feeling very can very confident that they can indeed and do a plan indeed and do have a solid plan indeed and do have a solid plan in place to control our borders and the next general and indeed the next general election banned election was athletics is banned transgender athletes from competing in female events is

not the right decision . you not the right decision. you think it's taken far too long? if we had essentially grown competing the top end of competing at the top end of women's so too long already women's so far too long already i'm punching christie's and this is also wolf whistling. is gb news also wolf whistling. yes you get two years in prison. if your wolf was off those if your wolf was laid off those estates

a reminder of our top stories today and the king's state visit today and the king's state visit to france has been postponed because violent protests across the country, you are not indeed looking at a war zone that is just paris , right? world just paris, right? world athletics declined to authorities it to exclude trans women from being able to compete in female categories. so lord coe, who is the governing body's president, said no transgender who had gone through male puberty would be allowed in female world ranking under previous rules, trans women had to reduce the amount of testosterone in their blood a certain level for 12 months

before being allowed to compete. these are the farcical scenes that laurel hubbard, the new zealand weightlifter who turned up , frankly, looking like she up, frankly, looking like she was worse shape me was in worse shape than me actually being allowed to compete weightlifting. compete in weightlifting. there's huge people there's been huge about people who born men and lived who were born men and lived their lives as men gone through life a man and in some cases life as a man and in some cases as well, having know the requisite beds, being able to run in 100 metres or swim alongside women, etc. joining us now , amelia stricker, who is now, amelia stricker, who is a shot and is a two time british champion. fantastic great to have you on the show. thank you very for joining us, have you on the show. thank you very forjoining us, amelia. and very for joining us, amelia. and congratulations on your congratulations on all of your fabulous achievements well. fabulous achievements as well. woody, make of this woody, what do you make of this decision then that what would you say trans athletes will be banned? what do you think about that? i mean, with women, i think, you know, a lot of us are quite happy with the results . quite happy with the results. you know, it's not a ban on trans athletes. it's just simply stating that you're going to have compete in the category which you fit. biologia it's so it isn't a ban and know

everyone's saying, oh, you know we're not be we are please please participate in sport sport is for everyone. but you're just going to have to do it in the category with you fit your biology. did you find a of uncomfortable things happening for you in a sentence ? i've got for you in a sentence? i've got no doubt whatsoever that you've got nothing. you know , against got nothing. you know, against any lgbt thing or any human being or whatever, right . any lgbt thing or any human being or whatever, right. but there is probably a question of fairness at the same time for you. you train and you dedicate your life to something and might not necessarily someone who has some kind of biological advantage just being allowed to of take your gold medal away from you or something like that. how do you feel about 100. this is not coming. how do you feel about 100. this is not coming . a place of hate is not coming. a place of hate or anger . all this is just or anger. all this is just coming from fairness and wanting to protect the women's and keeping it fair for the hard working women. you know, dedicating hours , sweat, blood, dedicating hours, sweat, blood, tears, money. you know, it's their passion, you know , a lot

their passion, you know, a lot of us, it's our lives and, you know, it would it would just be devastating if we, you know, are continuing to let biological males into our sport because it hasn't happened in, you the elite level yet. it it's only a matter of time. so to see world athletics really say you know what no, we're going to stop this now . you know, a lot of a this now. you know, a lot of a lot of women i spoke to have been like, you know, this this is excellent news. my daughters, my nieces , whoever, you know, my nieces, whoever, you know, now have , you know, a real now have, you know, a real a real chance, you know, to stick with sport in their future. and i'm you know, this will i'm hoping, you know, this will potentially help young girls stay longer . i potentially help young girls stay longer. i think stay in sport longer. i think you've a really great point you've made a really great point there, which is actually about there, which is actually about the generations isn't the generations to come, isn't it? because people now who maybe have girls who are keen on have young girls who are keen on going into sport, presumable until this ruling was made were possibly looking at a future where they would also have to compete against. people who were born male again that doesn't necessarily mean that fairer media aren't yet 100. you know ,

media aren't yet 100. you know, women are so much more just the testosterone level and, you know, reducing that is still going to take away those physiological advantages that biological males are born with. and know. hopefully now, you know, young girls that are keen on sport, you know , are willing on sport, you know, are willing to stick with it, knowing that , to stick with it, knowing that, you know, they will just be competing . other women and girls competing. other women and girls . exactly. and as you know, probably safety and the trade unions and all of that. look, amelia, thank you very, very much. and great to meet you and good luck with everything that do going forward as well. emily strictly there is a shop and strictly there is a shop but and is a two time british champion. there we so. there's there we go. so. right, there's lots to come now and lots more still to come now and 6:00 and this is going to be a good morning. i going to good morning. i it's going to are you going in the inbox than 100 top lawyers have that they are to refuse to prosecute are going to refuse to prosecute climate activists. climate change activists. senous climate change activists. serious of serious question marks there, of course here's something course and here's something to get right. get you thinking. all right. i am now to show gb news am now going to show gb news viewers a clip of a man doing a

bungee all rise, but i want you to tell me what you think happened. to tell me what you think happened . next what do . oh, happened. next what do. oh, okay. all right . so you get off okay. all right. so you get off the stage to find out right now. there is he had lost a taxi to. patrick. thank you and good afternoon. this is the latest from the gb newsroom the first state visit of king charles to france has been postponed because of protests across the country. tens of thousands of people have been demonstrating against the government's plan to raise the pension age from 2 to 64. the king was due to arrive on sunday as part of a week long trip to emmanuel macron, suggested the new date for the visit will be in the early summer . the visit will be in the early summer. the windsor has now been formally adopted by both the uk

and the eu. the foreign secretary european commission chaired a meeting earlier to sign off the post—brexit trade agreement. it's after voted in favour of the storm brake despite continued from the dup and the prime minister has stressed the importance of upholding democratic values at a meeting with his israeli counterpart benjamin netanyahu is in london as thousands rally in and hear against a law that's been approved by his right wing. coalition critics say it's designed to shield him from his corruption. trial rishi sunak also called for a de—escalation in tensions in the west bank and ofsted says school inspections will continue. that's despite for them to be suspended . unions for them to be suspended. unions representing teachers and head teachers want checks to be paused while a review is carried . it's after head teacher perry took her own life in january while waiting for report, which downgraded her school to the

lowest possible tv online , the lowest possible tv online, the abc plus radio and on tune in this is tv news that was ivor. patrick okay, so before the news bulletin , people watching on gb bulletin, people watching on gb news saw a man a bungee jump. but we the video, didn't we. well, it was mid—air. so i asked you what you think happened. next, it's time to find out . next, it's time to find out. what what . i've seen that like, what what. i've seen that like, 15 times today. what what. i've seen that like, 15 times today . and it still 15 times today. and it still gets me that the reason why that bungee jump people die is the reason why he's fine, by the way, i should point out. sure. let him with that. he's all right. okay. few cuts and a couple of broken bones. but crucially there we

crucially not dead. so there we go. anyway would you bungee jump? i certainly have to say no. know about you. no. i don't know about you. moving on, though, a more moving on, though, of a more serious news, interesting serious news, this interesting news. i think more than anything, it could have anything, i think it could have serious ramifications for. our legal system really in the way that construct justice and that we construct justice and uphold this country , uphold justice in this country, climate are for lot of climate activists are for lot of motorists the bane of their lives blocking traffic, glueing to roads, etc. but protesters like just stop oil and other groups, they've been on pause recently, but they are due to start up again. they'll have quite a lot of lawyers on their side and that is because than 100 barristers, solicitors , 100 barristers, solicitors, academics, they planning to sign academics, they planning to sign a declaration of conscience vowing not to represent fossil fuel companies. so they're not going to defend companies that they think are responsible for just destroying world. okay. all prosecute climate change protesters so why not prosecute just up oil etc. extinction rebellion me now i'm very pleased to say actually it's paul poland, who is a barrister gordon court chambers and to

according reports anyway, is quite keen on this stuff. paul, thank you very, very much. just for the sake of clarity, you are going this declaration going to sign this declaration of conscience all of you signed it. yeah have signed up already. you have signed the already. okay, right, fine. so look, a lot people are saying that it lot of people are saying that it undermines key principle , our undermines a key principle, our british justice system, which is that entitled to a fair and that is entitled to a fair and impartial legal representation . impartial legal representation. would you respond to that ? well, would you respond to that? well, that that is already been hugely undermined . the fact that many undermined. the fact that many people can't get legal representation due to, not being able to afford it again, but just to specifically sorry, i don't want to add to it straight away, but we are just not in this. i understand there are already issues, but you are responsible for this issue. so, so how do you respond to this then? are not going be then? you are not going to be giving people fairly giving people a fairly representation? well, again, this is what your this is what we're your representation for. i'm not saying i wouldn't represent a fossil fuel executive in a criminal court. we're

criminal court. what we're saying won't help with the saying is we won't help with the legal representation do legal representation to do fossil fuel expansion projects . fossil fuel expansion projects. to make things worse , the to make things worse, the international energy agency has already said we cannot have new fuel projects beyond 2021 if we want to keep to 1.5 degrees. so we cannot have new fossil fuel expansion projects . i on my expansion projects. i on my conscience will not give my professional skills to allow that to happen. what about prosecute you saying just stop oil etc. well again , that oil etc. well again, that i would think we need to ask the question who are the real criminals here? un secretary general has said it's fossil fuel companies and their executives who are the criminals, not the peaceful protesters, to stop them. but would you process you would agree what would would agree with him? what would would you prosecute in your your job? right. prosecute someone right. would prosecute someone who's been found guilty of committing an offence in the name of just stop or extinction rebellion i mean, i don't do prosecutions that actually is the gas poverty, the fossil fuel, the fossil company one.

that's the more relevant one to me. but no, it's obvious to me i would never do now. okay. right. i know to say that this breaks the camp run rule. okay, which is an issue isn't because is an issue really isn't because it could lead to other things and people who will and look, some people who will sign will do prosecution, sign this will do prosecution, which it's not which i appreciate. it's not really back, but the really your back, but the argument would be well, you know you okay to defend you be you'd be okay to defend someone who is a or a murderer or a rapist or something like that. but it wouldn't necessarily give legal representation . someone who representation. someone who is part oil . i representation. someone who is part oil. i mean, do you part of an oil. i mean, do you honestly think that oil companies , fossil fuel companies companies, fossil fuel companies are worse than? no and as i said before, i would represent a fossil fuel executive he was on a criminal but there's a difference between representing a murderer criminal trial and helping murderer to continue committing crimes. helping murderer to continue committing crimes . and that is committing crimes. and that is the correct analogy of fossil fuel companies, because i would represent them in court, but i'm not going to allow them to continue to commit the great crime that we know is going to happenif crime that we know is going to happen if they continue fossil

fuel extraction. there's fuel extraction. so there's a difference between those two things. think a key things. and i think it's a key one. right. a lot of one. okay. all right. a lot of people that people would hope, though, that legal was as legal profession was as apolitical . it possibly could be apolitical. it possibly could be really . i think this apolitical. it possibly could be really. i think this may be is interesting is in politics, too. i couldn't help notice as well that you did decide in the wake of queen's death to go and have a bit of a protest about the monarchy, which i think a lot of people will have thought was quite distasteful and how do you respond to that? was that not distasteful, really? and as i said at the time, issue there was freedom speech and was about freedom of speech and it about the queen. was it wasn't about the queen. i was nowhere the queen or if you nowhere near the queen or if you know anything as it was about the outside the accession of charles outside parliament. so i about the accession so i don't , i'm just accession so i don't, i'm just wondering whether whether not a bill should be is, is to defend freedom of speech, which is which is i was doing the right for just to have for everyone just to have a peaceful freedom of expression which is an which i hope you agree is an important part our country. well, i wouldn't have a job if we couldn't do it right. so i absolutely absolutely do. but

absolutely i absolutely do. but i'm or i'm just wondering whether or not builds of not it builds a kind of a picture who you are as a picture of who you are as a bloke and where you are politically really. i mean, you are you would happily are you would quite happily aboush are you would quite happily abolish wouldn't abolish the monarchy, wouldn't you? were arrested you? i believe you were arrested recently climbing and recently for climbing a tree and stopping it cut down. stopping it being cut down. i mean, have got rather a lot mean, you have got rather a lot of skin in the game when it comes stuff. i mean, comes to the eco stuff. i mean, you. yeah, i love this i love these lands. i love country these lands. i love this country and i want to see it and i don't want to see it destroyed by for short term profit. and if that means doing what can in both my legal what i can in both my legal profession and peacefully trying to trees and rivers. to protect our trees and rivers. and something i'm and that's something i'm incredibly do it incredibly of. and i would do it all again. i this. i all over again. i love this. i love this country. i love these lands. i can't but notice lands. i can't help but notice that. moore has got that. julian moore has got involved this the involved with all of this of the good lord project. i how do you feel about being on same side as, as him? i mean if have such an eco lover i mean he did clobber fox to death in his own back garden with a baseball bat whilst wearing his wife's kimono. a couple boxing days kimono. a couple of boxing days ago. but it doesn't sound particularly to me . i particularly friendly to me. i

mean , i. i'm not here to defend mean, i. i'm not here to defend everyone . he's on his own. everyone. he's on his own. i would say you're in bed with him on this idea. eco warriors , some on this idea. eco warriors, some kind of superior people aren't hypocrites is wrong. i'm a hypocrites is wrong. i'm a hypocrite there's literally loads of things you could frighten me about. my lifestyle which are not eco friendly because all just trying because we're all just trying our in what we can . because we're all just trying our in what we can. but i our best in what we can. but i would that whatever anyone would say that whatever anyone hypocrisies basic thing hypocrisies it's a basic thing now. given what now. so now given what scientists us not continue scientists us to not continue fossil fuel extraction and that's a really basic thing that i don't think there's any debate about and which i this and the argument about you i understand it you could face a fine and potentially some consequences to what you're doing now. is that right? i mean, what i gather is basically against what he's about, the aspects of self repairing to the bystanders boats and what could happen there , what could happen so what there, what could happen so what could happen? well, i mean , who could happen? well, i mean, who knows? they have a range of sanctions. i hope they would understand that the way in which

doneit understand that the way in which done it and the important principle of conscience and free speech, that they won't act to harshly. but i know the concern would imagine will be the precedent and also for a lot of for younger coming through now right people who might be very ambitious but also share your views about the they might feel pressured from you potentially to get on board with this and a lot of senior legal professionals are getting on board with that but it would be at the cost of their own political. so you decide to political. so if you decide to pass on a and not gets pass on a case and not gets passed down the chain, somebody else goes for it. that could really have a quite moral really have a quite bad moral consequences for them, could it not. yeah. so i don't quite understand the question so can you. well people are coming out and saying that they might share your views but don't want your views but they don't want to through the legal to go through the legal processes might have to processes that you might have to go here and the go through here and the consequences your career. consequences to your career. they through oh they might have to go through oh you pressure on other

you putting pressure on other younger people in your legal profession you profession to behave like you would be morally unconscionable ? no, because i mean , the way ? no, because i mean, the way the current rule effectively works practise anyway, is that people into kinds of work. people go into kinds of work. they want to go into. so if you're an eco minded person, wouldn't to kinds of wouldn't go to the kinds of chambers generally would chambers generally that would have so i would hope have this work. so i would hope that people who are going that young people who are going to be the most damaged by the ensuing climate crisis wouldn't go chambers where they would go to chambers where they would be doing work that would help and that climate crisis . and make that climate crisis. okay. right. look, i've just okay. all right. look, i've just got to drill down seven. final question to you . i appreciate question to you. i appreciate your time and thanks. thanks for coming. just to clarify, coming. so just just to clarify, would you personally be would would you personally be willing to defend or give legal advice for people if they were part of a group that was like gang, like a violent drug deaung gang, like a violent drug dealing gang or something like that? who would get accused of killing or accused of running a sex slave trade or something that. so you would be all right

operating in a legal capacity for them, but you wouldn't be all right doing it for like or bp? not really. i mean, you guys, you've got that. it's tough luck. it's a perfect analogy, right? here's what i'm happyis analogy, right? here's what i'm happy is that gangs is brought to court and in front of a court of law. i would happily defend them in the same way as i would happily. a fossil fuel executive, a court of law, or say exactly for crimes against humanity, in a few humanity, which might in a few years but will not years time i'm but i will not tell the gang how they can continue commit crimes. that's the simple difference . okay. the simple difference. okay. fascinating stuff. look, i've enjoyed our chat and i really appreciate you coming on and spending a lot of time actually talking to me on is an interesting topic and one that's clearly not to go away any clearly not going to go away any time soon. i i would time soon. and i mean, i would wish but i imagine some wish you, but i imagine at some point i hope that you glued to a road me and i won't be road in front me and i won't be wishing you luck them, but take anyway. can't do the burglary anyway. i can't do the burglary myself have i have also myself and i have i have also it. but a boxer love a good it. but as a boxer i love a good no, he's good look. he's fussy

no, he's a good look. he's fussy mean obviously disagree with mean obviously i disagree with you but it's just off the charts anyway. it, all anyway. look, you take it, all right? you very much. right? thank you very much. okay. that right. okay. so that we go. right. okay. so that we go. right. okay. look, let's i mean, okay. well, look, let's i mean, what you make of all that get what do you make of all that get your coming in gb views at your views coming in gb views at gb .uk it is a discussion gb news. .uk it is a discussion that not going to go away any that is not going to go away any time frankly. but that was time soon, frankly. but that was paul paulsen, who is a barrister, ironically, god barrister, ironically, thank god in a new law that in court. right. a new law that which wolf whistling which punishes wolf whistling could with could be introduced with offenders. jail

all right. a reminder of our top story today is our tv viewers will be able to see the king state visit to france has postponed because of violent protests across the country but yeah we'll bring you more on that as and when it kicks again inevitably later this evening. moving on, wolf, whistling could be made illegal. you . yes, be made illegal. and you. yes, you. who are. could you. i know who you are. could face two years in prison. face up to two years in prison. if caught it under plans if you're caught it under plans announced home secretary. announced by home secretary. but campaigners there's a loophole in the proposals that would let

offenders prosecution by offenders escape prosecution by claiming they thought their behaviour kept. so here we behaviour was kept. so here we are. joining me now is journalist peter lloyd . peter, journalist peter lloyd. peter, thank very much . have you thank you very much. have you ever worked for anyone ? no don't ever worked for anyone? no don't think i have. no. it took me a long time to answer that, but i'll be honest here. so do you think it's offensive to wolf whistle or what do you reckon that some two years in prison? a rather long time ? well, i mean, rather long time? well, i mean, it's subjective isn't it? but i have to say this is all in. i mean, it's completely but it's not remotely surprising . this not remotely surprising. this has been the direction of for travel a very long time, which is why i've been sounding the alarm about it for at a decade. feminism not just about empowering , supposedly. it's empowering, supposedly. it's also about controlling men and criminalising masculinity. so it's no surprise that this is we are. it was always going to happen. and let me tell you it's not going to end here. it's

going to get much, much worse. do you have any sympathy for? women who. i probably should just point out, genuinely, i've got me here. got the inbox front of me here. and asking about wolf. and and i was asking about wolf. and there are a heck of a lot of women genuinely in touch saying that they are offended by that they are not offended by wolf whistling . it's all in the wolf whistling. it's all in the slightest . yeah. why do you slightest. yeah. why do you think that is now such an offensive thing to wolf us? listen i don't think it is. offensive thing to wolf us? listen i don't think it is . i listen i don't think it is. i actually don't think this legislation represents really the mood or the opinion of the nafion the mood or the opinion of the nation it certainly doesn't represent the majority of women's opinions. i mean you know, it's if anything else. i actually find it quite patronising to women if a woman gets unwanted attention on the street, she is more than capable of dealing with it herself. she does not need the to come along and arrest someone . and then for and arrest someone. and then for that person be sent to prison that person to be sent to prison for up to two years, which is utterly ludicrous. so not only is offensive men, it's also is this offensive men, it's also really patronising to women. okay look, do you think i

suppose it is something that may be could just make women more comfortable ? they walk the comfortable? they walk the streets just to just know that they are not to be heckled from a scaffold , something like that. a scaffold, something like that. or do you not have any sympathy for . no, or do you not have any sympathy for. no, i think it's just total b.s. look at a time when the police are already under huge strain. they're underresourced, they're understaffed . do they they're understaffed. do they really need to be faffing around with this kind of crap? it's ridicule less. what really annoys ? me, as you can probably annoys? me, as you can probably tell, is this law isn't even appued tell, is this law isn't even applied consistently and evenly. it only applies to men. so can go around whistling earplugs. they nothing ever happens them. so if i'm on a phone, if i'm. if i'm on a night out or something , you know the do walks in and there are three sheets to the wind and you know all the inflatable bits , male genitalia inflatable bits, male genitalia and all this stuff and someone is i mean, by the way, this would happen because i've got body a drunk lasagne. but

body like a drunk lasagne. but if came up to him was if someone came up to him was going, you're so fat, all of going, oh, you're so fat, all of this and i wouldn't be this stuff, and i wouldn't be able to, to, to wall able presumably to, to, to wall prosecute them under same prosecute them under the same laws a builder could be done for wolf whistling a woman who walks past it right now past the scaffold. it right now if you actually read the latest draft of the legislation it specifies it only applies to men who wolf with women a.k.a straight men. so if you've got a big hairy lesbian who wolf whistles a hot woman, she's not going to be arrested. and if you have a woman who whistles, a guy , she's not going to get arrested. but a straight man will be arrested and jailed for up to two years. so it's really pretty galling have to say women's entitlement aid to physical violence also be to sexually harassing men is staggering. is not going to do anything to stem that. it's going to make it even worse. peter, thank you very much. i always enjoy our chats. peter lloyd, is a journalist, just lloyd, who is a journalist, just reacting the wolf whistling reacting to the wolf whistling debate, apparently two years in prison, it can michelle prison, it can be. michelle gibby in studio

gibby joins me in the studio now. you were guffawing now. you were you were guffawing at that? well, no , i was at that? well, no, i was laughing when you were saying . laughing when you were saying. oh, if i was in a pub and all these hen party was about to hit on me, that's what made me chuckle? so you said chuckle? so when you said actually wouldn't happen actually that it wouldn't happen , your vote of , thank you for your vote of confidence was chuckling at confidence, i was chuckling at many women, by the way. i would say that actually being wolf whistled flattering . whistled is quite flattering. only a very strong only this is a very strong caveat. if the guy doing it is attractive david or attractive like david beckham or it's a little bit less offensive. it's just i was having a chat. i was having a chat with with a lady in the office earlier who will remain nameless, who said that when she was she found it was younger, she found it offensive. right she's offensive. right now. she's a bit she sees it as a bit older. she sees it as a compliment. yeah. i mean, it doesn't me anymore. i've got doesn't to me anymore. i've got to be honest, can't remember to be honest, i can't remember the time i was wolf the last time i was wolf whistled. but one the. one of whistled. but one of the. one of the talents that i for the prouder talents that i for it is my mom taught me to whistle. a really whistle. and i've got a really loud and i am so proud loud whistle. and i am so proud it and i think, you know, the whistling, loud whistling a

skill. right. so you actually think far from putting in prison for two years arguably men should be should be commended being able to move the ball with all of all the feminists know what i'm saying is a good whistle is a dying art. right. okay. going to show you my whistle. do it. just do it. because i've got bright red lipstick on. it's going to out. so right away to see us out for the weekend. john wolf. honestly, i would. i've never been whistle. so please been wolf whistle. so please michelle dewberry. wolf michelle dewberry. can you wolf whistle clear. oh whistle again, to be clear. oh you didn't have to say that already. by the way, i'm not warmed up, so it might not work. wait a minute. i happily said he's in prison for two years now. i feel. i feel objectified. i objectified. i feel as a man . i objectified. i feel as a man. how dare you? oh love it. thank you very much. we got round to what you got coming up, but it is going to be great. that was meant to crack it. paul embery alex day and to my faves. oh lovely. so my fingers bright red

lipstick them. okay lipstick on them. okay everybody. it's been of everybody. it's been one hell of a off of christys a week off of patrick christys this is last week .

well, hello, that is 6:00 on michelle dewberry and this is dewbs& co on your screens and in your radio right through till 7:00 tonight. now, paris is on fire much of france. what do you make of this? have you seen it all going on? it's all stems from the fact that macron changed the pension age without a vote . and there's lots of talk a vote. and there's lots of talk that over here in this country, the pension age should indeed be in creased, should it towards . in creased, should it towards. when your thoughts and of course are king, he's cancelled his visit to france. was that the right decision for safety or is

it
