3:07 pm
sit near the opportunity to run in to the house and. of course, young olivia at that point had been coming down the stairs, wondering the commotion, was telling her mother that, you know, she was scared they at that point . thomas cashman, the that point. thomas cashman, the had had had continued to open fire. one of the shots struck olivia's mother in the hand she an injury there but that bullet on an impact did this nine year old's chest and she died . old's chest and she died. despite the efforts of paramedics to see for her she died a short time later in hospital. absolutely horrific case that this family will have to live with for a long time. yeah, indeed. and just shortly after the verdict, merseyside's chief constable serena kennedy described cashman, who has been found guilty of this murder, as a coward. she said he's despicable. he made great in the trial that he's a dad , and yet trial that he's a dad, and yet he's put olivia's family through this trial , of course, because
3:08 pm
this trial, of course, because he pled not guilty . i hope he he pled not guilty. i hope he reflects every morning when he up behind bars and every when he goes to sleep about what he's put olivia's family through. it's worth noting as well that in a separate trial, matt has admitted to driving katherine away from address. and so that we go it could be a little while potentially before we get to sentencing we think yeah, you will get undoubtedly background reports on thomas cashman there be mitigation clearly put forward by his defence team as to why they feel he should have months years knocked off his sentence . he's not pleaded sentence. he's not pleaded guilty of course he denied it right to the end so he doesn't get the usual 25% discount on his . and there are all the his. and there are all the aggravating factors, the fact that he and a premeditated fashion had out to kill this joseph ni fellow , but had
3:09 pm
joseph ni fellow, but had continued recklessly fire going through the door of this house even though he had seen a mother, an innocent woman , mother, an innocent woman, answering the door. and of course the fact that a nine year old girl lost her life in the most horrific of circumstances . most horrific of circumstances. these are all aggravating fact ers that will, i'm sure in results in a very significant sentence when that is handed down at a later date . yeah, down at a later date. yeah, absolutely. and it's worth noting as well, thomas cashman, who did deny everything here, came up with a variety of different excuses he said he was at home or sorry with a friend, i should say, counts money and smoking cannabis. well of these incidents were taking place , he incidents were taking place, he says, a dad, not a killer. says, i'm a dad, not a killer. and firearms used cashman on and two firearms used cashman on the evening have still not been recovered so that you go. obviously the police are hoping now and this is what the police are saying to continue to remove of guns and drugs from the
3:10 pm
streets and try to use this as a way of making sure that nine year old olivia coulibaly died in such horrific circumstances. i completely of the blue just shot , you know, in the chest in shot, you know, in the chest in her own that her death is not in vain . they are trying to use vain. they are trying to use this to clean up the streets mark. yeah, absolutely . is mark. yeah, absolutely. is a significant gun crime problem in liverpool there has been for a number of years people might think , you know, london is the think, you know, london is the epicentre of gun crime and it does have a very problem in the caphal does have a very problem in the capital. but other centres of population like birmingham, manchester and liverpool have problems with gun crime and it's criminals who use guns and indeed knives to enforce their trade , to settle disputes as trade, to settle disputes as clearly in this case, there was a dispute between cashman , a a dispute between cashman, a career criminal, a drug and another drug dealer , ni, that another drug dealer, ni, that endedin another drug dealer, ni, that ended in such tragic circumstances , interestingly. circumstances, interestingly.

keeping you across that as and when get it but if you're just joining us that is the breaking news that thomas catherine has been found guilty of the murder of nine year old olivia corbo in liverpool it bringing an liverpool and it bringing an end to been desperately, to what has been desperately, desperately awful situation a desperately awful situation in a desperately awful situation in a desperately awful situation in a desperately awful case. we will wait for on sentencing , wait for updates on sentencing, etc. we'll bring etc. rest assured we'll bring that as. and when we get that to you as. and when we get it right, we're going to move away from. now though, i'm away from. that now though, i'm going talk about something away from. that now though, i'm going going( about something away from. that now though, i'm going going on,out something away from. that now though, i'm going going on, frankly, athing away from. that now though, i'm going going on, frankly, every that's going on, frankly, every single uk, and single household in, the uk, and that how you are willing that is how far you are willing to go to secure the net zero targets. are you willing to bankrupt yourself now the government is very controversial new zero plan which has been new net zero plan which has been met criticism from met with intense criticism from some environmental groups, by the because they never the way, because they never particularly happy that we can follow out for a day. the follow it out for a day. the update to the net strategy, update to the net zero strategy, which been branded this year which has been branded this year by high court inadequate by the high court as inadequate is address is meant to address the imbalance between and electricity costs in household bills electricity bills aiming to make electricity cheaper for the long term. but the problem is here this going to cost you or could do a lot of money. well, some campaigners
3:16 pm
are considering taking the government court over new government to court over its new energy policy . they energy and climate policy. they say is not good enough. say the plan is not good enough. the prime minister people should be what the uk is doing . be proud what the uk is doing. we really proud of we should be really proud of uk's track record on of this. if you look at it, we've decarbonise faster than any other economy our carbon emissions have been reduced by over 40, much more than all the other countries that we compete with at. the same time, we've grown our economy . so we've got grown our economy. so we've got a good track record this and actually today's announcement demonstrates in demonstrates our leadership in multiple areas that are going to help improve energy security and get bills down. okay. so that's rishi sunak's line and they are standing there and saying things like, look, look what we're doing and what we're doing to try and get ourselves carbon neutral. we're neutral. look what we're doing to net but there is to get net zero. but there is very much a human cost behind all shortly we're all of this. and shortly we're going to delve into of that, going to delve into all of that, whether it's electric car, whether it's electric car, whether minutes whether it's your 50 minutes fifties, fact fifties, whether it's the fact that might if you that you might be fined if you don't from a gas boiler or, gas
3:17 pm
heating, etc, you might have to go get a heat pump. i mean, it's just non—stop isn't it? i don't know. a of people are know. a lot of people are feeling the pinch. i've been asking you gbviews@gbnews.uk. feeling the pinch. i've been askingarej gbviews@gbnews.uk. feeling the pinch. i've been askingarej gbwilling?gbnews.uk. feeling the pinch. i've been askingarej gbwilling toinews.uk. okay. are you willing to bankrupt zero? bankrupt to get to zero? let's get all of these get more on all of these announcements that are taking place because it's been place today because it's been quite a lot of it is our political reporter olivia olivia where to start. we start where to start. so we start really on for really with the all on gas for households. yes what the households. yes so what the new measures entail is measures essentially entail is at the moment, measures essentially entail is at the moment , electricity is at the moment, electricity is taxed quite by the government, but gas heating homes by gas isn't and government is now trying to sort of turn that on its head. so gas will be less attractive to consumers than electricity. now, the reasoning behind that is it's a push from the government to get people to go over heating their house with gas , their house with gas, their house with electricity , heat pumps. but electricity, heat pumps. but obviously there are quite a few issues with that. one of them, which mentioned there in your opening comments is that installing a heat pump is very, very. another is that lots of
3:18 pm
engineers say it doesn't work. so pricey , might not work, so it's pricey, might not work, but apart from it's great. but apart from that, it's great. it's not quite also very it's also not quite also very difficult to retrofit fit into older homes . difficult to retrofit fit into older homes. so it's all very well if your house being built in the last 30 years but pushing heat pumps into victorian and edwardian homes is almost impossible . so yes the way the impossible. so yes the way the government is selling this is that gas is going to get more but electricity is going to get cheaper. but electricity is going to get cheaper . the truth is that most cheaper. the truth is that most people's houses are heated by gas. so for most people energy is going to get more expensive. and of course we're coming to the end those government the end of those government subsidies energy bills subsidies for our energy bills so we could see gas bills for this alone, these policy measures alone see gas bills hiking by £100 a year plus be losing the subsidy from the from the government. it's worth the government. and it's worth noting, well gentleman, noting, as well as in gentleman, that it could be that £100 a year it could be more for you it might be a little less. some people little bit less. some people will watching and listening will be watching and listening to think it was to this now. i think it was still a huge of money i might spend now at dinner or something, for a lot of
3:19 pm
something, but for a lot of people a heck a lot of people that is a heck a lot of money and you and it's well to the price of fuel going up. you got it as well, too. maybe i've just an electric car. it's just got an electric car. it's just got an electric car. it's just bills well. just general bills as well. various different measures various different other measures that minute cities that coming in 50 minute cities that coming in 50 minute cities that designed to to help that are designed to try to help us net target people us hit net target and people including about to including a chap i'm about to speak anywhere from zero speak to, anywhere from zero out, very concerned. out, are very very concerned. olivia, this from a political olivia, is this from a political sense, is this really a vote winner ? well, what grant shapps winner? well, what grant shapps has done in this in this pack of measures is not as green, as lots of environmental activist and conservative is on the on the left of the party. well, hoping for this is actually quite sort of conservative package measures because going trumps and the rest of the government is now very, very about energy security and have taken board the concerns taken on board the concerns those on the right of the party who believe that, for example, getting to electric getting of people to electric cars simply not practical, cars is simply not practical, practical when technology simply isn't the infrastructure isn't there, the infrastructure for charging , for example, we've for charging, for example, we've also this issue where the eu
3:20 pm
promised to do something similar to us to get over to incentivise people, to move over to electric cars by whacking great levies on, on car manufacturers, using petrol and diesel cars . but petrol and diesel cars. but they've watered down their legislation. so it'll be now easy in the eu for car manufacturers make petrol and diesel cars. it means that all car manufacturers will be competing with eu making and this just plays into that narrative of when people voted to leave the european union if you did vote to leave the european union. i bet one of the things you really thought you're going be to was back going to be to do was take back control and our own laws control and make our own laws and stuff. it didn't mean that we going to hurtle further and faster, a net zero agenda faster that all continental friends thank and thank you very much and evidently all political evidently that all political reports now i believe reports that now i believe i'm going over to going to take you over to germany. am indeed. yes. what germany. i am indeed. yes. what king is visiting an king charles is visiting an organic own brand organic farm, very own brand called and farm. and called brotherhood and farm. and the is that's a learn about the king is that's a learn about how they've reduced the environmental of agriculture through . i'm now looking
3:21 pm
through organic. i'm now looking at shots of the king outside organic farmers he shakes the hands presses the flesh doesn't say and this is parts of his historic to germany. he was historic trip to germany. he was supposed to go to france first. but of course due to unfortunate in bordeaux and paris being on, he had to go to germany instead and he actually history yesterday on today in fact he made because he spoke at the bundestag which is of course first time a british monarch has actually done that. he spoke in both english and german and it was fantastic really kind of made a few jokes along the way as well in reference course , as well in reference of course, his mother, the queen, and his late mother, the queen, and how fond she was of the german and english relationship or british relationship? some say he referenced the kraftwerk. he jokes the lionesses euros when in 2022, which was, of course , in 2022, which was, of course, over germany. and he did say as well that i thought was quite nice when she said that. we've been laughing with and as each other friends a very long other as friends a very long penod other as friends a very long period of time. and this is all about soft power is of diplomacy, these trips and it is
3:22 pm
really think we forget really great i think we forget in it take a lot of time in this it we take a lot of time tearing admonishing tearing down and admonishing ourselves and desperately trying to make us apologise for historic wrongs that may or may not have been anything to do with us to begin with. and then you see the king and camilla now going abroad and how much they are internationally. and are loved internationally. and that thing for that is such a great thing for britain. king charles actually that is such a great thing for britain. historyharles actually that is such a great thing for britain. history what. actually that is such a great thing for britain. history what he's|ally that is such a great thing for britain. history what he's been making history what he's been doing so far . and it is going to doing so far. and it is going to be great. i think we can all agree for english and continental europe and relations going forward. so charles ii, what are currently looking what you are currently looking at are live shots of him as, an organic farmer in germany called the wind farm, which is part of this he's off to hamburg this trip. he's off to hamburg later little later on later this a little bit later on in show we will be going to in the show we will be going to all reporter cameron all royal reporter cameron walker who will bring you the latest but we're going to move on now. we'll get you on from that now. we'll get you up date, of course, as one up to date, of course, as no one can. charles anything. but can. charles does anything. but i someone who i know someone who wasn't impressed the that we impressed with the topic that we were about a little bit were talking about a little bit earlier on, which the earlier on, which is the government's energy. government's new energy. and
3:23 pm
that's is the that's is benny pizer is the director of net—zero watch it. look i'm keen to drill down today benny numerous today benny on numerous different things it's the cost for a net for of hurtling towards a net zero agenda. again i would zero agenda. and again i would urge well to their urge as well today to keep their eyes peeled on this eyes and ears peeled on this show we are looking what show because we are looking what it you to do things it will cost you to do things like switch if you don't like switch gas. if you don't switch gas, are you going switch from gas, are you going to fined? you going to be to be fined? are you going to be penalised? have penalised? can you even have a heat pump in your home when you add that the electric car add that to the electric car that you're probably going to have all does add up, have to get it all does add up, but benny i want to know from you about the science behind all of this, because we are only this the provision it this on the provision that it a difference that difference difference and that difference is necessary. will it make a difference need difference and do we need to make that's a it's make one? well, that's a it's a good question because if you look around the world, you can see that the whole climate is basically falling apart. see that the whole climate is basically falling apart . the see that the whole climate is basically falling apart. the eu is watering down its policies . is watering down its policies. they are beginning to realise that they are public upheavals .
3:24 pm
that they are public upheavals. look at the dutch and look at what's going on in france . so what's going on in france. so germany is going back to coal and the car industry has to kill the ban of the combustion engine. so everywhere you look at the chinese are burning coal as if there is no tomorrow . no as if there is no tomorrow. no one actually is doing very much about it other than the conservative government . and of conservative government. and of course, it's do because are legal requirements for the government to do that. but i don't think the government can win this for the greens it will never be enough for and the pubuc never be enough for and the public it will be very because just policy. i'm just going pull policy that i want to drill down, that i want to look at what the uk has pledged to do banning so insulating 300,000 of
3:25 pm
the uk's worst homes. that's a £1 billion. energy efficiency programme. then we've got removing between 20,000,030 million tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere by 2030, providing more than hundred and £50 million for electric vehicle charging facilities is aiming to produce 25% of uk's electricity through nuclear by 2050. we're also going to have more wind farms and solar sites, etc. and as well levies when it comes to gas boilers in people's houses. so when we add all of this up, but this is role there a lot for your ordinary common man woman on the street to actually pay for it. of course . of course. for it. of course. of course. and let me just focus on one issue, because your journalist , issue, because your journalist, to interview your colleague said that this shift from the green levies , from electricity to gas levies, from electricity to gas will cost about £100 per
3:26 pm
household . but that's not really household. but that's not really true because . a lot of wealthy true because. a lot of wealthy people will just not pay that levy at all because will go to electricity and it will be the poor will have to stick to these green levies. so it's the poor. we will be forced to pay for the green issues on gas bills. they will struggle with much more than £100 because they will have to subsidise the wealthy who go for the heat pumps. it's a wealth transfer from poor to rich . the rich also get these rich. the rich also get these £5,000 subsidy for an electric car and for a heat pump. so it's a complete transfer from from from ordinary families to the few who can afford all these three things and that's what you expect from a conservative government okay look , bernie, government okay look, bernie, thank you very, very much. it's very positive that. i've net zero what watching the emails have been in thick and fast on
3:27 pm
this on a variety of different elements to the net side of elements to the net zero side of things. and that's why i want to go big on this today because. it's easy to get in just a it's easy to get lost in just a single headlines of this. you single headlines of this. so you might if you decide might be penalised if you decide to around to keep running around your house. okay, that's bit of it. but got as an but we've got here as well an individual who i won't name and here saying that they in here saying that they live in lincolnshire, they might use loose solar farms. loose arable land solar farms. so a blight to so that's could be a blight to the far as that the there as far as that concerned we've had paul on concerned we've had paul is on he says rishi is so he says that rishi is so rich that he doesn't to care that he doesn't seem to care about normal people the about the normal people on the street cost of it. and street and, the cost of it. and there's loads this coming up a lot of people say the rush to net the net zero will bankrupt the countries from bob the uk produces less than 1% of the world carbon emissions. look, i'll the exact i'll have to check the exact number that, bob. be fair, number on that, bob. to be fair, but be stuck in cold and but we will be stuck in cold and poorer as result. these poorer as a result. these policies. what i'm policies. and that's what i'm trying to get out now, even if you believe that we to you believe that we do need to do absolutely everything that we you believe that we do need to do edo>lutely everything that we you believe that we do need to do {do to tely everything that we you believe that we do need to do {do to save everything that we you believe that we do need to do {do to save the ithing that we you believe that we do need to do {do to save the planet,|at we you believe that we do need to do {do to save the planet, which can do to save the planet, which is and i know lot is fair enough. and i know a lot of people feel that way. at what cost? at cost? are you

3:37 pm
made of the human rights of the people who the government admits will have come illegally. and small boats , many people would small boats, many people would call them illegal immigrants , call them illegal immigrants, even though that's not necessarily the most pc term. what about your human rights and the human rights ? the people in the human rights? the people in the human rights? the people in the surrounding area ? that is the surrounding area? that is exactly a lot of the questions that i am getting because the government we've. no don't. so she cannot get a doctor. you cannot get to a dentist that you just can't get anywhere near them. yet the government is saying , how are they going to do saying, how are they going to do it? i don't know. but they're saying that going to put it? i don't know. but they're sayidoctort going to put it? i don't know. but they're sayidoctor on going to put it? i don't know. but they're sayidoctor on site going to put it? i don't know. but they're sayidoctor on site and ng to put it? i don't know. but they're sayidoctor on site and the 0 put the doctor on site and the dentist on site. so people are saying, well, what about our health? we don't count the people are angry because they feel we're just being walked over and nobody's listening to. their concerns and i so edward labour mp is really, really hard on her part but even he is struggling to get anywhere with the government . they just will
3:38 pm
the government. they just will not listen to reason and it's a site five miles away from lincoln is the nearest to get there no buses no buses that just are not any buses it and they i'm going to ask you just see if that's all right because you must have had a lot of time to think about what is the alternative . because a lot of alternative. because a lot of people will say you now that well, i'm sorry, but this is part your duty the nation has to take this amount . people there's take this amount. people there's more on the way we can't keep putting them in hotels and that's costing us 6 million quid a day . we know a lot of people a day. we know a lot of people might be saying, well, my area's got two migrant hotels why shouldn't your part of the world you obviously think it's not the right i think most people right place? i think most people with sense have. with common sense would have. that the right place. so that is not the right place. so what do with them what do you do with them instead, in your view, just process offshore? process them offshore? what do you do. well, there are other
3:39 pm
areas that they could look at where they can put people in for better areas than they are ? west better areas than they are? west lindsey had an agreement and the government had given them. they at scampton airfield, they had given the scampton camp and just one day before the government came out with this. we had signed a deal. for £300 million to develop that site , to have to develop that site, to have hotels, businesses , museums and hotels, businesses, museums and everything , lots of jobs into everything, lots of jobs into the area and a lot of money into the area and a lot of money into the area and a lot of money into the area . and that is another the area. and that is another reason why lot of people are so very, very angry. they just not listen to reason the government , there are other places within the county. we've got other airfields that are no longer use that they could be habitable. it doesn't have to be where it is killing us a good trade , good

3:41 pm
renovation taking place and maybe the existing historical elements of that particular site being ripped out . well i can't being ripped out. well i can't describe to our our angry and now there'll be so much trouble that when this happens it won't be a walkover. i can tell you people are really angry people are now going to be actually protesting at the gates and everything and if anyone turns up with a dig or whatever they're going to struggle to get in there. and furthermore, we do not have the police to be able to police that area and the rest of the work that they have to do either because our police forces very, very underfunded . it's very, very underfunded. it's been underfunded 10 million less this year. and we've got a minimum police officers who have been to get with the a good half of our pcsos and yet we've got extra work. it's crazy . jesse i extra work. it's crazy. jesse i obviously hope that you managed
3:42 pm
to stay safe and that you do get the result that you want everything and i also do hope that maybe myself or one of the presents ahead of gb news could be there to report on what sounds as though it's going to be quite a furious picket as and unfortunately it looks like when the work begins at that site jessie thank you very much just emailed he's a conservative councillor for west lindsey just reacting to that news again that assumption is going be used assumption is going to be used and the strength of and you can hear the strength of feeling the area they're calling you this is not going away. you and this is not going away. time talks of picket time soon talks out of picket lines and barricades and it comes another this as comes as another site this as well had the diggers well as already had the diggers rolled. this is rolled. but moving on, this is going going. let's just going to get going. let's just get your emails that they're ready. this one gbviews@gbnews.uk. ready. this one gb\ a ews@gbnews.uk. ready. this one gb\a parent.inews.uk. ready. this one gb\a parent. can/s.uk. ready. this one gb\a parent. can you (. ready. this one gb\a parent. can you believe are a parent. can you believe that some schools aren't going to tell that their kids are questioning their gender or , questioning their gender or, even changing their gender? is your kid your kid and? this girl, sandra, from the geography department is not going to tell you that some is now. samantha
3:43 pm
bonkers. i'm patrick christys . bonkers. i'm patrick christys. this is
3:44 pm
3:45 pm
gb news. welcome back. now a report by the policy exchange publication has found that schools are letting children change their gender without telling their parents the calls it a mass breach of safeguard saying we hear a lot about kids rights now. i'm sorry, what about parents rights here? and it warns that schools often uncritically accepting the beliefs about gender identity that are so contested so beliefs like we are not born into a particular body, etc. you know the drill by now it also suggests that as many as seven in ten schools are failing . in ten schools are failing. inform families when children question are confused about or even that gender. with me now is lucy marsh from the family education. lucy, thank you very much for joining education. lucy, thank you very much forjoining us. got to be honest with you, i'm not a parent and i'm about this. how
3:46 pm
do you feel . well, we're pleased do you feel. well, we're pleased that this policy exchange report has finally out because we've been campaigning about this for quite a long now. for a number of years, we've had a lot of parents been contacting who are really concerned about what's happening with schools. so to finally see it in the news is great but it is it is outrageous. and agree with you. it is outrageous that this has been happening for so in been happening for so long in schools. lucy so i understand it. parents this show right now could sent their child off to school this morning and under the complete that that child was a boy and was identified as a boy and. then they can find out parents evening presuming that that child of theirs that they gave birth to and lovingly raised the first ten years of its life had been changing its genden its life had been changing its gender, that of a girl for the
3:47 pm
last year. so in school potentially without the school bothering to inform the parents. well, often it's not even that the parents are finding out that parents even in some cases, the parents even in some cases, the parents are not out at all because the schools just not telling them. we've had several examples of parents who've contacted us where their children have been transferred effectively at school. they've only found much later when they found out from that the child or the child suddenly announced that are going by a different name . some children have been to name. some children have been to school and the schools have been facilitating allowing them to change into different and be identified different pronouns at school without telling the parents at all which is terrible . why aren't they telling? because if it's all about i'm sorry but if it's all about child health care and child mental health and child wellbeing and all of this stuff , why earth would you , why on earth would you encourage live, lie at encourage them to live, lie at home? because the schools are being advised by external
3:48 pm
organisations who are telling them not to contact parent and telling them, telling them to keep secrets from parents and telling children to keep secrets from parents. it's all coming from parents. it's all coming from external organisations who do have this is their policy. and i am concerned as why to push here about the of the nuclear family on a deliberate one because if we take it back its root cause here now you have children at nursery schools essentially potentially being shown drug shows if they can got them parents unable to opt out lgbtq+ events at school you've potentially then got someone who is not a child psychologist or therapist coming to talk to them about whether or not they've been born into wrong body. you've got people twitter making . it would appear a lot of money telling kids to talk to them in 1 to 1 and to go telling kids to talk to them in 1to 1 and to go no contact telling kids to talk to them in 1 to 1 and to go no contact with their parents. and you've now schools also telling parents when that child is at least
3:49 pm
saying that it's going to change genden saying that it's going to change gender. is this something more sinister going on here? yes, it's not even that it's happening. that it's happening sort of in secret that . these sort of in secret that. these organisations are quite plainly what their agenda is. you've organisations like education that send hundreds and hundreds of primary schools and their mission, they're open about it on their website. their mission to smash heteronormativity that they're saying that that's their mission statement. but the problem is, is that the department for education has been funding these organisations . they've been spending on stonewall, they've been giving money to organisations like educate and celebrate to go into schools to and spread this message. so it it it is sinister. there is an underlying current and an agenda to break down the traditional family . down the traditional family. thatis down the traditional family. that is what these are trying to do. and people like the individual that you mentioned to who is active on to talking instagram who's telling children
3:50 pm
into private messaging. yeah there is not just there are lots of these people who have got this agenda who are trying to separate children their parents and it is your right is sinister and it is your right is sinister andifs and it is your right is sinister and it's something which think is scary stuff and i think parents i've got a long hard battle ahead of them. lucy thank you very much. these emails that the family education are going to lucy, that i'm to let go of lucy, that i'm going bring up very quickly, going to bring up very quickly, there's i saw, there's something that i saw, which is the gender bred person, right? so get load of this. right? so get a load of this. your essentially have your kids might essentially have been to at school. your kids might essentially have belsi to at school. your kids might essentially have beis for to at school. your kids might essentially have beis for our to at school. your kids might essentially have beis for our radio at school. your kids might essentially have beis for our radio listenershool. your kids might essentially have beis for our radio listeners .)ol. it is for our radio listeners. classic gingerbread man . can't classic gingerbread man. can't call it that anymore, people. it's the gender, person it's the gender, brand person andifs it's the gender, brand person and it's a rainbow coloured brain, which is labelled with identity. this is how in identity. and this is how in your experience and define your head experience and define your head experience and define your gender. it says then he's got attraction is how you find yourself feeling drawn down or not drawn to some of the people then why the i suppose genitals would usually it's got a multitude of different arrows and it says sex is the physical traits that you're born with or develop that we think is
3:51 pm
characteristics as well as the sex that you are assigned at birth . sex you're assigned at birth. sex you're assigned at birth. sex you're assigned at birth. there you go. anyway, that's to be banned. now that's going to be banned. now and the term biologically male and female is banned as well. so i've i mean , good luck if you're i've i mean, good luck if you're a parent out there at the minute. anyway, we're going to move on though at the moment and talk about the story that broke right at the top of this show. very, story. this very, very serious story. this has on this afternoon's has got more on this afternoon's big it's thomas big story. and it's thomas cashman has convicted of cashman has been convicted of the year old olivia the of nine year old olivia corbell was sadly shot at corbell was sadly shot dead at her last august. her home liverpool last august. we're go live to we're to go live now to manchester crown court and speak to his north west to gb news. his north west report been this report says he's been on this case goes from the start so if you if you go well this you want if you go well this trial began at the start of this month it's an inquiry deeply complex case obviously the incident itself took place in august of last year. so months and months ago at the start this week on tuesday, just a she sent the jury out to their deliberations. they took afternoon they took yesterday
3:52 pm
and they've then come back this afternoon with their verdicts. they found thomas , the 34 year they found thomas, the 34 year old, guilty on charges. so that's the murder of nine year old olivia culpo , the attempted old olivia culpo, the attempted murder of joseph nee wounding with intent of olivia's mother, cheryl and two counts of possession of a firearm with intent endanger life. now this has been described as a defining moment for merseyside on the police force. the chief constable serena kennedy, has said the conviction of thomas cashman in terms of the murder of olivia is we're still down. those people who enabled that murder to take place . he murder to take place. he suppued murder to take place. he supplied the gun where gun is, and we will carry on until we identify those responsible. now from the beginning of this trial , cashman has denied his guilt. his family, when they were leaving the court room earlier today , they were swearing. they today, they were swearing. they were angry , had to be escorted
3:53 pm
were angry, had to be escorted from the premises by a court staff . but it has now been found staff. but it has now been found , that jury, that thomas cashman was , of most all of those was, of most all of those charges, but most especially the murder of nine year old olivia corbell . so if you thank you corbell. so if you thank you very much. have you read that all north—west reporter he's been bringing you updates constantly as that trial finally, came to an end, finally, finally came to an end, thomas cashman found guilty of the murder of nine year old olivia pratt. court battle was, of course, shot dead in her own home in liverpool in a case that for all the wrong reasons, of course. absolutely gripped the nation. from nation. but a move away from that now they talk to a big claim, a big claim from sir keir starmer. he says that a labour government would freeze council tax bills. this now stoneman was speaking as he launched his party's campaign for the may local elections. and this is a local elections. and this is a local elections. and this is a local election he said the move would be funded with a proper windfall tax on profits of the oil and gas giants. windfall tax on profits of the oil and gas giants . and it comes oil and gas giants. and it comes after labour councils
3:54 pm
after many labour run councils across country increased . across the country increased. bills including croydon council , which raised tax by% so that was sinking people. so a silver wasn't a good sign. he wouldn't necessarily raise it anymore. all right. but when you've got councils that, are hundreds of millions in debt, how millions of pounds in debt, how does that one? joining does he square that one? joining me political me now is our political reporter, forster . reporter, catherine forster. he's latest on this. so he's got the latest on this. so keir starmer saying i think that what is make us all feel a what does is make us all feel a bit better off as opposed what he says the tories are doing, which is make some people feel better off . yes. saying if better off. yes. saying if labour were in government now they would freeze the in council tax which is due come in next week of an average of about 5. now of course that's a hypothetical note. labour not in government now and they haven't committed to freezing council tax if and when they are government, but they're very keen to push the message . they
3:55 pm
keen to push the message. they are interested in supporting people, ordinary families during their cost of living crisis and they've got a new name for . they've got a new name for. prime minister rishi sunak , who prime minister rishi sunak, who keir starmer called mr. 1. he said rishi sunak's introduced tax cuts for the top 1% because of course they've got of the pension cap that only 1% of asylum claims been processed and only 1% of the money lost to fraud. during covid has been reclaim. now they've come to swindon because although there's two conservative mp here at moment, they are hopeful of taking these seats at the next general election . they've got general election. they've got one of their former labour cabinet ministers, heidi alexander, has come back and will be standing and the current mp robert buckland has a majority here of only two and a half thousand. they're hopeful of taking and of course in the

may fourth local elections , many may fourth local elections, many other council seats and down the country and really pitching themselves . do you feel better themselves. do you feel better off after 13 years of conserve off after 13 years of conserve of government and they're betting that for most people the answer that question will be no , that we can't really you very much covering for us today is bringing the very latest when it comes to keir starmer's big local election pledge, which is yes. to essentially, if we were in power now we wouldn't be raising the council tax. find raising the council tax. i find that you've got that to believe when you've got lots slough council voted by lots of slough council voted by 50% because the 760 million quid in debt that's as well sorry that was up. so of course slough is now 9.9. you've got croydon with 15. so it's easy for me to get mixed up with my labour run councils and say that go anyway. loads more coming way, loads more coming your way, including course our breaking including of course our breaking news. it's almost cashman has been of murder of been convicted of the murder of nine olivia culpo. we nine year old olivia culpo. we will again manchester will be live again at manchester crown a few minutes. i'm crown in just a few minutes. i'm patrick christys and this is.

4:11 pm
verdict in this thomas cashman trial. he has been found guilty and we believe that we'll get the sentencing for cashman on monday morning. sophie, thank you very much for bringing us all of us. have you read for that? gb news is north—west reports to say yes, we await that sentence, don't we? on monday and. well, i mean, could anything be long enough, really, when look of that when you look the nature of that case? we're moving from case? but we're moving on from that the government's that because the government's very so very controversial excuse me, so controversial i can't even get my words out. new net zero plan, which has met with intense which has been met with intense criticism some criticism from some environmental groups. the update to the net zero strategy, which has branded last year by the high as is meant to high court as is meant to address imbalance between gas and electricity costs and household bills aiming to make electricity cheaper for the term. while some campaigners are considering taking the government's of course over its new energy and policy , new energy and climate policy, they that the plan is not they say that the plan is not good enough prime good enough and the prime minister rishi sunak is obvious , we should be , insisting that we should be very what doing , very proud of what we're doing, we really proud of.
4:12 pm
we should be really proud of. the track on all of the uk's track record on all of this. if you look at it, we've decarbonise faster than any other major our carbon other major economy. our carbon emissions have been reduced by over 40, much more than all the other countries that we compete with at same time, we've grown our economy, so we've got a good track this and actually track record. this and actually today's demonstrate today's announcement demonstrate our multiple that our leadership in multiple that are going to help improve energy security and get bills down just to think about that . so we've to think about that. so we've decarbonise faster any other country and we are moving quicker than anyone in europe so is this a benefit of brexit, far as you're concerned? i'm not sure. a lot of emails have been coming in on this gbviews@gbnews.uk uk about how skin you're willing to be to hurtle headfirst towards a net zero which we might zero target which we might not hit i'm joined now by hit anyway. i'm joined now by our reporter, olivia our political reporter, olivia utley. people are quite utley. olivia, people are quite about saying that this is about this, saying that this is too fast and at too too much too fast and at too great a cost. yes. well, unfortunately , grant shapps, it unfortunately, grant shapps, it seems as though people are quite on because . as you've
4:13 pm
on both sides because. as you've said, there were the energy who feel this doesn't go far feel that this doesn't go far enough. and this day when these pack of measures was announced which originally dubbed which was originally dubbed green day grant shapps didn't like that and he changed the name to energy security day . so name to energy security day. so he was trying to put a message out there that he is taking energy very seriously and he understands the concerns of those who are worried about the rush zero. then on other rush net zero. then on other side, i mean that obviously has angered environmentalists on the other side, you've got those who are very worried that some of the measures outlined this pack will actually very will actually be very detrimental those on incomes detrimental to those on incomes and could be actually detrimental to the whole aim of going carbon neutral in the end. can you give us some of those measures now? because the one that really caught my eye earlier today, i imagine it might have done to lot of might have done to a lot of people at well, was about people at home, well, was about gas. are potentially be gas. so are potentially to be penalised do not switch penalised if they do not switch away from gas under these net zero plans. i mean this could
4:14 pm
cost people a lot of money about your electric car and that's a 50 minute city ulez zones all of this it does start to wind up doesn't it. so the gas switch was one of the big ones today. what else is there? well, the gas which the one that's going to affect families the most, essentially how it works is there is already a government on electricity . basically, the electricity. basically, the government taxes people for that electricity extra. so they can use that money to invest in green energy. so the building of wind farms , etc. and that levy wind farms, etc. and that levy is going to be moved over to gas . and the problem is, of course, that the vast majority of people in the uk heat their homes with gas, energy because it's much, much more convenient. it's much cheaper. much more convenient. it's much cheaper . are big problems with cheaper. are big problems with heat pumps . cheaper. are big problems with heat pumps. last year the government had to target to get 600,000 heat pumps in people's homes. it only managed to get 42,000 heat pumps in people's. they're not particularly practical. other practical. and the other measures which will also
4:15 pm
probably prove pretty controversial, is liberalising the rules about building offshore wind farms . at the offshore wind farms. at the moment, it's pretty tight , but moment, it's pretty tight, but the government is going to relax that legislation so that far more offshore farms can be built. now plenty of those in coastal areas say that they ruin their views, etc. yeah the relief for them will be that grant shapps hasn't said anything . onshore wind farms at anything. onshore wind farms at the moment. there's a ban on onshore wind farms being built and hasn't relaxed that ban . so and hasn't relaxed that ban. so again, you've not really pleasing anyone there by tapping the middle line. it's just just one more with you, oliver, if that's right on something you've already said very some clarity on about the amount on it, which is about the amount of uptake or of, i should of uptake or lack of, i should say , about these pumps and say, about these heat pumps and people to switch from the traditional gas way of heat in their homes to these heat pumps. there was a target in place, wasn't and then the way off, wasn't it? and then the way off, they are off. so the target last year was , 600,000 heat pumps are year was, 600,000 heat pumps are getting six, 7800 installed in people's homes. they managed
4:16 pm
42,000. right. and not for the last four years. the government has been giving a subsidy to people who choose to install a heat pump in their homes , heat pump in their homes, £5,000. but there has been very low uptake on that . they're now low uptake on that. they're now extending that subsidy . low uptake on that. they're now extending that subsidy. but of course, there are plenty of conservative who are saying, well, what's the point in that people taking it off anyway? why would top off to give would they a top off to give them away. yeah. so that's what craig mckinlay, the zero hawk, essentially the conservative essentially in the conservative is arguing and his whole sort of caucus of conservative mp aren't happy at all right. now, as you rightly identified the last time we spoke, one of the fundamental issues with heat pumps, ladies and gentlemen, in some homes and gentlemen, is in some homes they essentially it's very, very difficult to them if you fit them at all. it could cost quite a bit as well and it just necessarily always work. so are some some issues, some issues sometimes i do wish you could maybe get alan sugar on to just do an apprentice style review of
4:17 pm
. what latest kind of anti—caa bid madness has taken place. name to just break down and then at the end he just fires someone. but that would. olivia thank you very much. olivia utley the all political reporter, joining me now is macro philip macro economist philip pilkington. i i got through the word macro economist there and then on phil . i word macro economist there and then on phil. i mean, then i started on phil. i mean, it's bonkers. isn't the idea we 90, it's bonkers. isn't the idea we go, how you ? i'm fine. go, how are you? i'm fine. thanks having me. right. can thanks for having me. right. can you enlighten me a bit please, on the cost that all of this net zero stuff is going to have on people? no ordinary, normal. we've got everything from hate to the idea now that we're going to the idea now that we're going to have to pay more for electric cars. electricity cost itself are going up as well, aren't they? can people really afford to hurtle towards zero in the way that the government wants us to. yeah, i think it's worth kind of taking a step here. there's a lot of talk about cost of living crisis. well a lot of the cost of crisis is actually an energy crisis that's the main driving of the cost of living
4:18 pm
crisis. just to give some sense, since since winter last year between winter 2021, 22 and 22, 20, 22, 23, which we just went through the cost of energy for the average household and obviously the government's guaranteeing these energies through the energy price guarantee is exorbitantly expensive . we know that the expensive. we know that the chancellor jeremy expensive. we know that the chancellorjeremy hunt expensive. we know that the chancellor jeremy hunt wanted to wind back some of this support in the march budget, but the energy price situation is so bad that he can't no , the fact of that he can't no, the fact of the matter is that probably aren't going to get better on the front of gas imports into europe at historic lows right now . so i don't see much now. so i don't see much evidence that the gas situation is going to get better next. so it just seems to me absolute madness to be talking about anything energy related that isn't about getting the costs of energy down immediately . it energy down immediately. it seems to be the most important economic policy goal for the uk right now . okay. and is that in right now. okay. and is that in your view ? our government is your view? our government is trying to or not get the cost of
4:19 pm
down immediately ? i think down immediately? i think i think basically they have a view on net. they have a view on energy being better than another greener than other energy sources . they've had this view sources. they've had this view pnor sources. they've had this view prior to the energy crisis and they're to force fit this view into the crisis. they're trying to say . well, the crisis is due to say. well, the crisis is due to say. well, the crisis is due to a lack gas because of the russian switch of the ukraine situation . and so the solution situation. and so the solution to this is obviously green energy because we really like green energy, but it's not obvious that the best solution is green energy . fact the reason is green energy. fact the reason that the uk is so reliant on gas is because of the fact that we've tried to green ify the economy. the hard reality of it is that country in the world and the two leaders in this are germany and, the uk that try and create a very large green component to their energy grid and pretty much addicted to gas. and the reason for that is that the wind doesn't 24 hours a day and the sun doesn't 24 hours a
4:20 pm
day. so you need some sort of fossil fuel to back up and the coal obviously forbidden because it's dirty nuclear there's some taboo that i don't fully understand . and so they go with understand. and so they go with the guy, blow up people are people are worried about a chernobyl statistic which i think we can all agree is very very unlikely to happen so i the can i just ask you and look forgive me and i'll forgive our viewers and listeners it sounds like is a really silly but like this is a really silly but i of want to get to the i kind of want to get to the very core this now again that government to that government is trying to say that in is going in long run this is going to save us but how long is save us money. but how long is that long run? because if i'm the average man and woman on the in the moment and i'm looking levies going levies for this, we're going to be forking hundreds, be forking out hundreds, millions solar, millions of pounds for solar, wind. we're going to be talking about refitting. about, you know, refitting. everyone's at their own expense, by the way , heat pumps. so i'm by the way, heat pumps. so i'm just hearing about money going. i'm have to buy an i'm going to have to buy an electric car. i can't get a petrol or diesel car. but after 2030, i'm hearing lot of money coming out my bank account coming out of my bank account
4:21 pm
and not quite sure what i'm and i'm not quite sure what i'm going to get any of back . going to get any of that back. yeah, , economists yeah, well, i mean, economists have a kind of basic rule if the market isn't doing something, it probably isn't going to bring the prices down. people are pretty savvy about their energy bills . they're pretty savvy, bills. they're pretty savvy, especially with their especially right now with their energy because the average energy bills because the average energy bills because the average energy bills because the average energy bill is £2,500 a month, which is enormous. so people which is enormous. so if people think that there is a way to bnng think that there is a way to bring their energy bill down by investing in double or doing something else, they will it. and when you try and force to do that, you're only going to raise the costs. they say, oh, the costs. and they say, oh, well, we're raising the in well, we're raising the costs in the to bring down the the short term to bring down the costs the long term. well, costs in the long term. well, that's that's not obvious. that's not clear on apparently. that's not clear on apparently. that's what think that's not what people think because they did think that because if they did think that they'd be it themselves . they'd be doing it themselves. well of the emails i'm well and a lot of the emails i'm getting in is that we're essentially responsible something the carbon something like 1% of the carbon crisis eliminated. and as long as china and india decide that they're not really going to do much about and goodness knows what well what other countries as well that appear be
4:22 pm
that that doesn't appear to be a huge point for us doing huge amount point for us doing it of the that i'm it does a lot of the that i'm getting at the minute gb views of thank you very much great to have you on the show, philip. philip pilkington, there a philip pilkington, there is a macro economist, i'm macro economist, right? i'm going from the kiwis going to move on from the kiwis coming return to them coming in. i'll return to them when a little bit more when i've got a little bit more time the show, lots time later on in the show, lots of incredibly strong views about how you feel about how much money you're willing to spend in your zero target your house to a net zero target that may not actually that you may or may not actually agree with. but new by agree with. but a new report by politics change revealed politics change has revealed that schools could be that many schools could be violating safeguarding violating their safeguarding requirements by not informing about questioning requirements by not informing abou�*gender questioning requirements by not informing abou�*gender identity,estioning requirements by not informing abou�*gender identity, asoning requirements by not informing abou�*gender identity, as all1g their gender identity, as all television now television viewers can. now handouts gender handouts depicting the gender the bradman. you heard the gender brad no gender bread . gender brad no gender bread. it's the gender of a person. we even that wrong. you see it's easily done. whose gender identity and sexual orientation displayed a spectrum all displayed as a spectrum all being given out in classes with just 28% of schools. he responded to research just reliably informing parents when a child said they're feeling a question of gender distress. i'm
4:23 pm
now by miriam case. she's a conservative for palestine and stocksbridge. miriam, thank you very very much. i if i was a parent, would be seriously considering home schooling at this point, i think. but is it can it really be right that you could send a child to school one day and then find well, a year later or something that that child have been living the opposite gender at school for a yeah opposite gender at school for a year. and the school i'm bothered let you know well it's not right but it is happening and i think this report confirms some our worst fears in terms of how widespread that is . but i've how widespread that is. but i've spoken to unfortunately a large number of parents who've had this experience of their child's disclosing to somebody school that they're uncomfortable with their body , that they are their body, that they are experiencing gender distress and then not being transitioned into a new a new name, a name that their parents didn't give them at school. and some parents finding out by accident that the has done this without their
4:24 pm
knowledge or permission. and i think we need to take a step back from this and i've done a number of interviews on this subject today . and i think subject today. and i think what's come across is how readily we have as a society accepted this, that you can have accepted this, that you can have a feeling that you are not the biological sex that you were born or , that you have a gender born or, that you have a gender identity that's different chemical, biological and chemical, biological sex. and i just 15 years ago, most people would have thought that was radical and outlandish of course, that can't be true . course, that can't be true. there are two sexes, some people go through different forms of psychological distress with different of their lives. but that doesn't take away from the fact that there are two sexy. and i think the that there and i think the now that there are foul of children in are probably foul of children in schools across the saying that they are boys when they are actually girls or vice versa and the teachers agreeing with them is shocking and i think we just need to not be parents. i'm sorry . seems to be a massive sorry. seems to be a massive push to destroy the notion of parental responsibility in this country . first off, everything
4:25 pm
country. first off, everything also seems to be everybody else's fault all the time, even down to feeding your own kids. at point. but then we go. at some point. but then we go. we've nursery where drug we've got nursery where drug acts brought parents acts are brought in. parents can't opt out of lgbtiq plus pride events for toddlers, basically, and i'm not saying they should opt out of it. i'm just saying to have the option like you can with anything else, pretty and then you've got pretty much. and then you've got someone you've probably never met isn't a child met and isn't a child psychologist just, you know, plus the geography plus understand the geography department in terms of themselves maybe themselves your that maybe they're own body they're born into their own body and you know have to question that school tell that and then the school tell you some desires to be you when some desires to be samantha and we've got people onune samantha and we've got people online as well saying that you go no contact with your parent if you think that you are born into the wrong body is there. something more sinister going on here? well, it certainly feels the destruction of childhood , as the destruction of childhood, as we've previously understood it , we've previously understood it, which is that children are inherently vulnerable and that is the responsibility of all adults to act with the best
4:26 pm
interest of their welfare. and i say welfare, not their wishes . say welfare, not their wishes. and i think we all know, you know, i'm a parent of three children. we all know if children. we all know if children had their way, they eat sweets the time, they sweets all the time, they wouldn't to bed on time. they wouldn't go to bed on time. they stay all night watching wouldn't go to bed on time. they stay that'sjht watching wouldn't go to bed on time. they stay that's very atching wouldn't go to bed on time. they stay that's very old ing videos. that's very old fashioned. stay up all fashioned. they stay up all night on youtube or something like the of like that. you know, the idea of parenting raising children, parenting and raising children, both but both our own children, but society is not to do what they want but train them in the want but to train them in the best virtues, values, character, traits, skills knowledge traits, skills and knowledge that them for adult that will set them for adult life. i think where we've life. and i think where we've gone wrong is that we've suddenly decided what child suddenly decided what a child wants is , what they should have, wants is, what they should have, even down what gender they want to be. and it's absurd when you think about it, you'd never as a child say, well, i don't feel like doing maths today. i don't want to learn calculus. well, teachers would say, oh, well, okay, then we do what you okay, then we better do what you want and we better you in want and we better affirm you in that tell your parents that we will tell your parents that we will tell your parents that doing maths . that you're not doing maths. mean bizarre. yet mean that's bizarre. and yet that we're doing. i'm that is what we're doing. i'm i've got to look i have got to i
4:27 pm
have goti i've got to look i have got to i have got i have got to see miriam to be fair, a conservative mp, your party has in power for 13 years and why we let this happen? well, i think that it's very fair question, although i think another fair question would be would it have been or worse been different or worse with another government who another government and who knows? if you look knows? and i think if you look across whole of western across the whole of western society, across society, this is rampant across the west america. we've seen what happened new zealand what happened in new zealand last and i think know last week and i think know culture is upstream of politics and sadly we have been too to react. yeah. so what needs to happen now because look i do appreciate your making it. we've been too slow to react. you do make a very fair point which is that you the country's is probably even worse but there's that you the country's is p|bit1bly even worse but there's that you the country's is p|bit ofy even worse but there's that you the country's is p|bit of what] worse but there's that you the country's is p|bit of what about; but there's that you the country's is p|bit of what about very there's a bit of what about very obviously people who will want to for want to make to vote for you want to make sure you yourself and your sure that you yourself and your party are to do something party are going to do something about it right here. people could concerned you've could be concerned that you've you've too far. miriam you've let it go too far. miriam andifs you've let it go too far. miriam and it's going a difficult and it's going to be a difficult road from this. now and road back from this. now and parents might thinking, well, parents might be thinking, well, if kid off to school, if i send my kid off to school, they're have pump full they're going to have pump full of i've got no
4:28 pm
of nonsense. and i've got no idea what's coming home afterwards. mean that is afterwards. and i mean that is potentially the potentially quite bad for the tories, yes all fair tories, is it? no. yes all fair points. and you know, i am a conservative mp, but actually more i think i'm more importantly i think i'm a mum and really passionate mum and i'm really passionate about and that's why about protecting and that's why i speaking up on this i know i'm speaking up on this issue and many others are. issue and so many others are. and i think firstly need to and i think firstly we need to just out into the open just bring it out into the open and sunlight the best. and sunlight is the best. disinfectant and the disinfectant isn't. and the great thing about this report and newspapers are now and many newspapers are now covering are now covering issue is we are now starting find out is starting to find out what is really going our schools. really going on in our schools. and think, sadly for many and i think, sadly for many families, it is too late, but it's really important to continue dig into what's continue to dig into what's going on. and just today, the minister has announced a couple of hours ago that he will be bringing forward this new guidance for schools to tell schools how they should be addressing children with with distress that the distress so that the safeguarding standard not safeguarding standard does not continue. i it's fair to say continue. so i it's fair to say the problem, minister, is acting on and if taking it on this. and if taking it incredibly seriously. yes. of it should happened , but at should have happened, but at least it's happening now . yeah.
4:29 pm

4:32 pm
well charles has made history.
4:33 pm
the king queen consort are on the second day of their first ever state visit, and king charles did earlier become the first british monarch to address german politicians , the german politicians, the bundestag, while the parliament is in session. so his speech celebrates the deep historical bonds and standing links between germany and the uk . let's cross germany and the uk. let's cross now to our royal reporter cameron, who's in berlin for us, covering a historic day for our king and indeed our country country . because i've seen country. because i've seen patrick, it's certainly was and it has gone down a stone form here in germany. the king and queen consort were splashed on a number of the german front pages morning following the state banquets happened last night, hosted by the presidents of germany and today, as you mentioned, he was in the german bundestag , the german bundestag, the german parliament's becoming the first british monarch in history to address german politician . and address german politician. and there were a number of key themes perhaps for his speech.
4:34 pm
first of all, he started off by paying first of all, he started off by paying tribute to his beloved mother, the late queen elizabeth ii and prince philip, duke of edinburgh, making points that they were both in uniform elements of that country during the world wars. and of course at that point, germany and the united were very much fighting each other one day. and in the years since we have reconciled. and that big theme of his and that was a big theme of his speech and building those bndges speech and building those bridges and strengthening those bonds between our two nations. of course is the british government's decision advice as to where the king ascends on a state visit. so perhaps british officials were thinking that's a european nation would be a nice touch. particular fly in the face of what is going in eastern europe and that the war in ukraine and the ongoing invasion, which is something that king touched on in his speech quite significantly, he praised the courage of germany for sending military equipment to berlin . sorry, sorry to to berlin. sorry, sorry to ukraine even. and he also spoke
4:35 pm
the ukrainian refugees who settled in germany and following speech in the bundestag, he actually a refugee centre and met some of those who had settled in germany . the queen settled in germany. the queen consort also did the same thing at a separate refugee centre. another big theme was sustainability and climate change. as you can probably guess with charles, the power them both king and queen consort visited a local organic markets. the king has been at an organic farm this afternoon to. more engagements is all about on that reconciliation theme again they are travelling to hand back tomorrow morning the king and queen consort, they're going to be visiting kindertransport memorial which pays to the 10,000 or so jewish children who were safe passage to united kingdom from germany to escape, to escape the and also will be visiting essentially what is a variant of a bomb that church bombings by the allies in 1943. so again it's about building
4:36 pm
bridges, building ties and strengthening relations between and the united kingdom . thank and the united kingdom. thank you very much , carol. catherine you very much, carol. catherine walker gb news is reports from berlin on yasser historic day. so it looks is it the germans have rolled out the red carpet in a way for our royals, which is great to see and say nothing like a little bit of self diplomacy. all right. moving on now. this something that now. this is something that i think interesting. i know a think is interesting. i know a lot of people are up in arms about. the idea of margaret as held in area. but now what we're seeing the move to put asylum seeing is the move to put asylum seekers the seekers or people who the government admits this government freely admits this country illegally across the channel. say makes channel. so some would say makes them and raaf them illegal immigrants and raaf bases and wanted to know whether or not legally there's anything local residents could do if they wanted to stop that from happening. we hear a lot. don't worry about the human rights of the people coming here and the people coming over here and people going to be living in these bases. what the these bases. what about the human people in these human rights of people in these and locals in a and villages? well, locals in a former military house next to raaf scampton hit at the
4:37 pm
raaf scampton have hit at the government's plans to house those of asylum those thousands of asylum seekers that disused. that's seekers at that disused. that's in was in lincolnshire. it was the famous home of the dambusters flying been all flying squad. we've been all over here gb news. over this story here at gb news. it's one a number of sites it's one of a number of sites that office wants to that the home office wants to use for. use as accommodation for. thousands of migrants who arrive here small boats here illegally on small boats and fact another one today in wethersfield diggers have already in that's already moved in that's renovated. didn't take renovated. that didn't take long. it than 24 long. i think it less than 24 hours about 24 hours ago. it hours or about 24 hours ago. it was probably officially announced to announced that it was going to be site. so yeah, it didn't take them long, did it? but many residents in the area near scampton concerns scampton have major concerns about safety, their children's safety , the preservation of the safety, the preservation of the site's heritage and their economy going as well. to shed some more light on this now i'm joined by uk immigration lawyer haj singing bongo heartthrob. great stuff. been at least great stuff. it's been at least 20 minutes since last time 20 minutes since the last time i spoke great to have back spoke to you. great to have back on but i'm probably on the show but i'm probably going be on again. yeah, going to be on again. yeah, yeah.i going to be on again. yeah, yeah. i to flip will you be yeah. ito flip will you be co—hosting with me sit on left on his head a bit today i can
4:38 pm
just ask about ourselves in the position and in the shoes of people near some of these people live near some of these sites they concerned sites they are concerned about local security. the concern about child the concern about loads of things right down to the way that that culture and heritage sites might be affected . legal avenues . are there any legal avenues that there that people take there from a human rights perspective to say, look, i want this site air? well, the first thing that people should do is raise that concerns in writing. so in writing, anything should be done to write, to a local council, write to your local , you elect write to your local, you elect them. they come begging your votes. every council election. write to your local mp elections are next year. write to your local mp elections are next year . you should write are next year. you should write to them. ask them to this issue in council and in parliament and local mp should definitely take it up. the home office ministers and the relevant ministers there and the relevant ministers there and if nothing else works then anyone has a right to ask for a judicial review or a review of this and they can take the matter to court should they feel
4:39 pm
that the decision is unfair for them, but they have to justify that that decision in law would be wrong and they might have a problem with and they'd be up against a fight with the government. yes indeed. so is there anything to with just general public safety, they could go off if they said, look, i there are 300 children in this village or . i there are 300 children in this village or. this i there are 300 children in this village or . this site i there are 300 children in this village or. this site is i there are 300 children in this village or . this site is next to village or. this site is next to a primary school or a nursery school. and with the best will in the world people who the government admits have come here illegally channel illegally across the channel will plonked given will be plonked here and given free our town code. free reign of our town code. anyway and go seek legal anyway and go to seek legal routes to say i fear for the safety of my children. could go off a human rights perspective or not not. it depends whether families are being detained at a detention centre or not. remember, under a new law, children can be detained now they will be detained. families will detained. so if detentions centre is full of families, then argument is going to be hard to say. well, hold on i fear for my
4:40 pm
children. yeah children are going to be confined in that centre as well, you'd have to centre as well, so you'd have to see how it would in practise see how it would be in practise also have to be able to also you'd have to be able to prove that areas where there prove that in areas where there are detention centres they are detention centres that they currently there's currently high risks and there's a there's a threat and a know that there's a threat and that isn't necessarily the case. so detention centres are in heathrow here, they're in dover , they're in oxford and cambridge and law in portsmouth , there in doncaster and lindholm they're in dungay over in scotland. you'd have to that all these areas are unsafe and i don't think that that's currently the case. so there'll be a lot on supposition or assumption now that fascinating. i'm not really piece of legal insight, i must admit i thought of if these places are full people with children as well i would imagine. yeah, you're right. it would probably hard to say that was going to say that there was going to be a risk to the in the local risk to the kids in the local area. wouldn't say, what about area. i wouldn't say, what about the economic we're just the economic damage we're just heanng the economic damage we're just hearing is what comes in. there was supposed to be tens, millions of pounds of
4:41 pm
investment, that area investment, i think in that area that presumably now i'm not to happen because of that happen because part of that involved site where asylum seekers are going to be housed could local area could people from the local area say you are going damage us say you are going to damage us economically at all or is that just a political decision that the makes ? well, the the government makes? well, the government will then say, well, we invested in the area. we have invested in the area. it's in the form of it's just in the form of a detention centre. so that's all. and we've created more jobs and plus are going to plus these people are going to need they're to come need food, they're going to come out know whether out shopping and know whether they're to spend in local they're going to spend in local area in their shops. so area in their local shops. so the government will argue that way, retrospect that sort of way, retrospect and that sort of perspective , and that will be perspective, and that will be hard once again to try argue in respect of that. what i think may be a concern . i read may be a concern. i read somewhere that in one area there was only a population of 700 people and they're planning to house 1500 people there. so essentially going to triple population of that area and you might sort of burden on a local resources and a local services .
4:42 pm
resources and a local services. but the key is government don't unfortunately government don't really listen to people . they really listen to people. they don't listen to people's idea of policy. they care about votes and about being in power. and once they're in power, they don't care about your voice until . it's next time to get until. it's next time to get a vote . and the good thing is vote. and the good thing is elections are coming so now people have to be vocal in the form of writing. it's to ignore ten voices, but it's hard . ten voices, but it's hard. ignore 1500 letters. so once got that in writing and it's and you can relate it to the local media you can relate that to media and raise a that will be a concern governments and then mps coming on your show like we've just had now will have to answer. i won't have to admit their mistakes and won't have to answer to you know yourself, patrick and your gwilym on the issue annual hold them and i think them to account and i think that's you know the that's only way you know the media is there for a reason the courts are there for a reason. and you know, elections are there for a reason if you're not happy with what the government
4:43 pm
doing, heard doing, make your voice heard think using is think would involve using is true. it's true what i thought was fascinating. i was talking about a difference i think about the gender in the old gender identity in school and parents and the response there from the tory mp. i we well what would i heard that we well what would it be worse than the labour it not be worse than the labour and think that's something and i think that's something we're going hearing lot we're going to be hearing a lot from when comes to from the tories when it comes to things these migrant things like these migrant detentions centres wouldn't things like these migrant deterworse:entres wouldn't things like these migrant deterworse thanes wouldn't things like these migrant deterworse than the wouldn't things like these migrant deterworse than the labour. ldn't things like these migrant deterworse than the labour. and it be worse than the labour. and i pubuc it be worse than the labour. and i public might feel a i think the public might feel a bit trapped there no job. bit trapped there with no job. thank you much. i could thank you very much. i could talk to you all about good talk to you all day about good man, sound legal advice. man, good, sound legal advice. i will no doubt come to you the next i'm in trouble. next time i'm in trouble. harbhajan singh is a uk harbhajan singh bongo is a uk emigre asian lawyerjust harbhajan singh bongo is a uk emigre asian lawyer just waiting us on us through the latest goings on that the king did that now. okay. the king did give a speech, didn't he? earlier on in german earlier on in the german parliament and this he even made the politicians the local politicians laugh. going that going to be talking about that much, more. i'm patrick much, much more. i'm patrick christys

gb news. oh, okay . welcome back,
4:47 pm
oh, okay. welcome back, everybody. we've covered a lot so about the exact nature of how much you're going to have to pay when it comes to hitting net zero targets. you've spoken about potential legal advice if you want an area that's scheduled to asylum seeker scheduled to have asylum seeker detention and have also detention centre and have also spoken about fact that maybe spoken about the fact that maybe if you're a parent, are you aware that your kid's school will not tell you quite possibly will not tell you quite possibly will your will not tell you if your decides to change gender. and the made history so the king made history today so we've eclectic mix of we've brought an eclectic mix of stuff here's stuff from labour. here's another you, because another one for you, because prince high court prince has left the high court on the fourth and final day of his preliminary hearing. i guess the of the daily mail. the publisher of the daily mail. so getting a squeaky bum so he's getting a squeaky bum time when comes time now when it comes to a decision, and a of decision, harry, and a number of celebrities, tv will be able celebrities, our tv will be able to him. they're looking him to see him. they're looking him proudly out court, proudly walking out of court, including elton john and liz including sir elton john and liz hurley, legal action hurley, taking legal action against newspapers. against associated newspapers. joining from , the high joining us now from, the high court our reporter, alex. so court is our reporter, alex. so alex, good stuff. are we are we going to see this go to a trial, do we think? what's it looking like? is this going be much ado
4:48 pm
about nothing? how's it shaping up? well, patrick won't find out today, unfortunately , this is today, unfortunately, this is going to take several weeks . a going to take several weeks. a judgement is handed down. the judgement is handed down. the judge will have three choices to make. he can decide this case to proceed to trial. he can decide to just give a judgement without it going trial. or he can throw out. so those are the three choices that the judge will have to make. after four days of preliminary hearings, but it was the final day today. and we did have a surprise visit from prince harry. he only stay just over an hour, arriving just after lunchtime. i would suggest more of a symbolic appearance from the prince today. he wants it to seen and heard that this is an issue that he cares. passionate about. and of course, thatis passionate about. and of course, that is press. so perhaps no surprise that he has been here three days out of four, but the and only claimant that has been here every single day of this week is baroness. now, here every single day of this week is baroness . now, she here every single day of this week is baroness. now, she is the mother of murdered teenager
4:49 pm
stephen lawrence. and that was a very emotional moment in court this afternoon. patrick, i wanted to bring to you and that is when the witness statement from baroness lawrence was shared to the court now she now that her information was illegally accessed by working for the mail titles and that's why she's bringing her claim and her statement. she writes , her statement. she writes, whether she wonders by trusting daily mail or whether she let down her murdered son, stephen, she writes in her in her statement that she's been plagued for a fool and lawrence was sat in the public gallery of 76, and she look sad and strained as her witness statement was shared with the court , gave the court a sense of court, gave the court a sense of the emotional impact that this illegally obtained information has had on the claimants of course associated newspapers generally deny any allegation action against them. they they
4:50 pm
completely deny allegations of phone tapping or information gathering . they say that this gathering. they say that this case needs to be thrown out, and they say some of the articles that we're talking about here are 30 years old. and in their words, they are stale. so, yes, patrick, is what happened in court this afternoon, the end of four days of these hearings. and now the judge to make that decision. will this proceed to full trial or will be thrown out? we'll have to wait and see. we will have to wait and see. but thank you very much. diligently reporting was that. yes, from outside the yes, again, from outside the high as our national high court as our national reporter costello, now reporter ali costello, now are you bit scared if i so you a bit scared if i so artificial intelligence . we've artificial intelligence. we've all seen the films haven't we, about how the world and sound quite often it seems to be the human beings who decided to create artificial , and that has create artificial, and that has itself decided to take over elon musk and other key figures in intelligence are urging halt to a.i. training due to fears that
4:51 pm
could threaten humanity. all them have signed a letter warning of the potential risks of a.i. and that the systems are out of control . this is does out of control. this is does anyone else terrify about this? joining me now is dr. shevlin, who is an artificial intelligence expert at the university of cambridge . okay. university of cambridge. okay. so how bad is it i think we're at the dawn a really powerful transformation . i would put a.i. transformation. i would put a.i. up there with things like electrification in terms of being significant technological advances . and just as with any advances. and just as with any powerful technology, there are real risks and harms potentially associated with it. and so i'm glad this letter released. i'm actually more optimistic, perhaps . i actually more optimistic, perhaps. i did sign the letter, but i generally tend to think that i has the potential to be an incredible to humanity. but it is also important that we get the public aware of some potential risks and harms . we potential risks and harms. we get oversight in place . right. get oversight in place. right. okay. so let's have a look at
4:52 pm
some of those potential risks at home, shall we? there the obvious one, that it could take a load of people's. so people who work in accounts example on well pretty much any industry. what i am aware of is that people are trying invest in a ai technology that can be newsreaders is why i try to inject as much chaotic as possible into the show. so that you can't replicate this. okay what are some of the pitfalls to ai ? so i think you're absolutely ai? so i think you're absolutely automation is a potentially one harm that's caused by ai . but i harm that's caused by ai. but i think it's also important in discussions automation to remember what automation is really doing, which is making goods and services cheaper in some cases, the public will happily consume more and more of those goods so that we don't actually see total losses in employment. if you look at, for example, the british textile industry 19th century, industry in the 19th century, that area where we saw that was an area where we saw amounts of automation increasing , technology , technological technology being used productivity. used to improve productivity. but happy . keep on but people were happy. keep on just more and more pairs
4:53 pm
just buying more and more pairs of as a result. now, i of clothing as a result. now, i think that is one possible scenario . a lot of domains where scenario. a lot of domains where asia is to be employed in other domains will see losses , but domains will see job losses, but we'll have to see what happens . we'll have to see what happens. yeah, absolutely. there is a future little star of the news behind you as well. i think that so it looks like you mrv and thought maybe you could generate a parenting apparel think they are they love that very yeah well look so do you think the them stopping them signing something to stop the whole i could actually be is it good . is could actually be is it good. is it too late. what do you think. i think a six month moratorium is perhaps . but, you know, if is perhaps. but, you know, if you don't ask, you don't get. but i do think we should be hoping for something more like the kind of regulation we have around nuclear power, things like. international atomic like. the international atomic energy can vet nuclear energy agency can vet nuclear power different countries to power in different countries to make it's being rolled make sure that it's being rolled out waste out safely appropriate waste disposal protocols being used ,
4:54 pm
disposal protocols being used, one's using it to develop weapons and so on. and i think actually nuclear power is good actually nuclear power is a good model thinking about model for thinking about obviously can obviously nuclear power can significant benefits are significant benefits are significant risks as well as we've seen in places like chernobyl. but there's been quite a lot of fearmongering about nuclear power the about nuclear power over the years perhaps of that years and perhaps some of that unrealistic, if more unrealistic, you know, if more countries adopted the french model the 1970s of replacing model in the 1970s of replacing coal plants with nuclear plants, a would be in a better a lot of us would be in a better today. i think whether you're concerned about environment or just dependency foreign just about dependency on foreign energy. if want that energy. so i think if want that simple think a simple model, i think that's a useful think about it. useful way to think about it. like power. look, thank like nuclear power. look, thank you very much. i'm sure you very, very much. i'm sure this won't be the last time that we this. i thoroughly we talk about this. i thoroughly enjoyed sammy enjoyed that dog, sammy shefflin, an shefflin, that he's an artificial expert shefflin, that he's an artithel expert shefflin, that he's an artithe university expert shefflin, that he's an artithe university of expert shefflin, that he's an artithe university of cambridge, at. the university of cambridge, at. the university of cambridge, a cameo appearance as a little cameo appearance as well from a little artificial intelligence earlier. intelligence expert earlier. well, rise. well, so that would give rise. but moving on now. but we're moving on now. we're going papal. britain's going now papal. so britain's most prisoner, charles most notorious prisoner, charles bronson, a parole board bronson, has lost a parole board bid to be freed jail. bronson has most the last 48 years has spent most the last 48 years in prison for a series of
4:55 pm
violent attacks. after being jailed in 1974 for armed robbery inside , he's carried out inside, he's carried out a series of more violent attacks and has taken prison guards and fellow inmate hostage george bamby used. charles as long lost son gave us his reaction to the decision a little earlier. the problem , you know, there's been, problem, you know, there's been, you know , so much in the past you know, so much in the past that's been going on. you know, it's difficult for a parole board to set the and say that they can 100% categorically release him without prospects of , you know , violence. and, you , you know, violence. and, you know i know charlie's worked hard in prison and he's done everything possibly can to prove himself . well, ultimately, you himself. well, ultimately, you know, they've got to follow . i'm know, they've got to follow. i'm not. so. yeah, well there we go. right. okay. so that's the latest that charles bronson is going to stay in prison. so that we i think we can all wait. will bated breath what that's going to be and says the next 24 hours

5:13 pm
sides of it. so people who can't hold the bills anymore and also environmental groups who wanted to more always wanted to do more always wanted do more. net zero more. the update to the net zero strategy was branded last strategy which was branded last year the high as year by the high court as inadequate is meant to address the imbalance gas and electricity , household electricity costs, household bills aiming to electricity cheaper for the long term while some are considering taking the government court over its new energy and climate policy, they say the plan's not good enough. the prime minister insists that the uk is doing the right thing . we should be really proud of the uk's track record on all of this. if you look at we've decarbonised faster than any other major economy , our carbon other major economy, our carbon emissions have been reduced by over 40, much more than all the other countries that we compete with at same time, we've grown our economy so we've got a good track record on this. and actually today's announcement demonstrate leadership demonstrate its own leadership in multiple areas that are going to help improve our energy security get bills down. security and get bills down. okay so there we go. i am joined now by gb news presenter darren
5:14 pm
grimes, an environmental activist . jeff cars are great activist. jeff cars are great stuff, buddy. thank very much. i'm looking forward to this. jeff i'm going start with you jeff i'm going to start with you by putting a question from one of my view on and it's from keith who says he's 64 years old. lost his job, on old. he's lost his job, he's on benefits , 979 quit a month. he . benefits, 979 quit a month. he. £725 a month goes on rent 105 goes on council tax . that leaves goes on council tax. that leaves him £30 a month for electric and heating. he wants to know from you how much he can do now . what you how much he can do now. what more can he do if he just to live? a lot of people are thinking that with net zero going up his bills are going to going up his bills are going to 9° up going up his bills are going to go up and everyone's going to have to pay more for these subsidies. how do you respond to people like keith? well, that's no zero question. that's a no net zero question. that's a cost living and you cost living question. and you should address to the government. yes, it is, darren. it's cost of living. it's your cost of living. question the government's question now the government's put into people's put subsidy into people's pockets through council tax relief , energy source pockets through council tax relief, energy source support subsidies and the way to go, if
5:15 pm
you want to reduce your electricity prices quicker easier then you should ask the prime minister to impose a windfall tax on energy companies who at the moment have got a licence to print money since 1990, when mrs. thatcher in power we've achieved 51% higher than rishi sunak has just told you in your clip a reduction in c02 you in your clip a reduction in co2 emissions. how many are enough that hasn't bankrupted the country? so we're over half halfway as you the three of us here today towards our 2050 target and we haven't bankrupted the economy . okay, darren, i'll the economy. okay, darren, i'll throw it over . you lost to come throw it over. you lost to come back at the start with keith forming thoughts all right because there is no no net zero problem as a cost of living problem as a cost of living problem i don't accept that problem i just don't accept that at all. i mean energy is something that of us can get away from. patrick the prices of things , the shops going up things, the shops are going up because of a food, for example. you need to actually keep things refrigerated , all the rest of refrigerated, all the rest of it. so of course it's a net zero
5:16 pm
problem. i mean , patrick, problem. i mean, patrick, ultimately prime ultimately what the prime minister's been saying, all this guff about rebel johnson, the cost of gas. i electricity rate is currently much more expensive than gas. gas because of the green and levies actually shelved on to electricity and he's talking about it is true it is true. instead he's talking about moving the levies on to energy . i'll about moving the levies on to energy. i'll come back to you, jeff. i've got a noble idea, patrick. i've got a novel idea. all of these greenies out there. how about we just stop policing millstone around the necks of the working class and allowed people to achieve the cost of living that is actually affordable to them by not making energy completely insurmountable the cost all right look jeff rishi sunak keeps banging on about decarbonising faster than anybody else. and a lot of people by saying, well, there you go. we've enough actually and we need to just take a back seat now. and maybe we just allowed to live our lives . it's
5:17 pm
allowed to live our lives. it's up to other people to catch up with us. mean, eu doesn't seem with us. i mean, eu doesn't seem to fast as we. well, to be going as fast as we. well, there are different countries at different rates, different different rates, different different abilities pay. but everybody to a 1.5% target, everybody is to a 1.5% target, maybe 1.8, maybe 2% increase in climate temperatures 2050. and unless you take this action, the cost that that imposes on society is higher than the costs of investing in a net zero policy. i live my life my daily telegraph headlines what really live my life by facts. the levies on electric city and gas pfices. levies on electric city and gas prices . how much are they? do prices. how much are they? do you think they are a week or a month now? do you actually know how much they are? well, you hadnt how much they are? well, you hadn't quit a fortune in 2015. don't add that a lot of people it might not be a lot to, but it's a lot to a lot of people. thank you are you with me. it means a lot to all of people and
5:18 pm
that the prices have risen in the last 18 months or so . that's the last 18 months or so. that's got nothing to do with green. you might as well say, let's aboush you might as well say, let's abolish vat on energy prices already is a reduced rate as i'm sure you know the, government has decided to take money the pubuc has decided to take money the public purse through taxation and subsidise your mine and everybody else's use electricity because of the russian gas situation by the ukraine war. yeah but simple as that well but that's not free money is it that's not free money is it that's coming out of people's tax for that i'm sure they don't pay tax for that i'm sure they don't pay money so i'll just i'll just throw over to sorry but i am look geoff forgive me. i am a little bit sick of people saying, oh, well, come , he's saying, oh, well, come, he's just coming out of the tories. we get what we pay for that don't we darren. what's your view. my understanding of just as all the but as we all pay the taxes, but it's the government yeah i know what we do and that's why it it impacts working class the hardest we mean
5:19 pm
hardest as we all. i mean patrick, you just mentioned that all together other all in this together right other countries world are countries around the world are doing well i mean, as doing this as well i mean, as you know i'm not one to you well know i'm not one to often say nice things brussels right. | often say nice things brussels right. i often think brussels is bananas, frankly . but even the bananas, frankly. but even the technocrats in eu have actually worked . oh, hang on a minute. worked. oh, hang on a minute. maybe actually, it's not going to work if we ban and diesel cars by 2030. actually that's not. yeah. than a fruitcake and all of these things the are coming home to roost right. it's going to be well—heeled eco extremists that are actually the ones that can afford be hit by these new green taxes on gas and it's a working it's your viewers patrick who are going to be pardon the pun not insulated by all of jeff i've got to ask when we look at things in the round right so let's say some point i'm going to have to an electric car or i'm already i drive a diesel at the minute it wasn't that long ago we were told drive diesel cars so it's going to cost me about ten quid every
5:20 pm
time i take it off the drive. london so going to have to london so i'm going to have to get new car. so that's money, get a new car. so that's money, right? and then if i owned a place and it was gas there, i'd probably have look at probably have to look at introducing some. a heat introducing some. got a heat pump let's say that places pump but let's say that places old lucky enough the old or if i was lucky enough the chance be a thing very large chance to be a thing very large that maybe that wouldn't actually do me too much good i'll be for that i'll be paying for that electricity going anyway. electricity is going up anyway. i to be a i mean, there just seems to be a lot outlay cost wise for lot of outlay cost wise for people and just when you look at it in the round can, you understand, jeff, why people are thinking, really thinking, well, i don't really want i wouldn't want to do this. i wouldn't really vote this metric. i can understand why don't want understand why they don't want to you currently get to do it. you currently get a government subsidy of £5,000 towards a heat pump. you would some, you know, over today's money paying it would be cheaper to run the gas or electric equivalent you would pay is all still being on about subsidies geoff that's that comes from taxing people money doesn't it . taxing people money doesn't it. it does and you will get the payback of that . darren. and
5:21 pm
payback of that. darren. and final word to you because these are the outcome. yeah. i mean basically the whole premise of this plan and plan, i use that in inverted comments. let's not forget that this was put net zero was put through by theresa may without a vote and without a plan this whole idea of creating pricing channels to shift people off gas and heat pumps and things like. it's a bit like trying to create price signals actually shift people off booze. patrick ultimately people are going to want a drink and people will want to keep warm via a gas. most of us can't have these massive heat pumps. so we're going to have to pay the extra costs. i can't have a heat pump in this flat. so i tell you what, i reckon we actually ought to capture hot air that's coming from your guest and from the house of commons because . maybe house of commons because. maybe that keep you warm for that will keep you warm for generation i'll see both at generation or i'll see both at heat pumps, anonymous very, very shortly. lobov. thank you very lucky, very, very much. enjoy the tv presenter darren grimes
5:22 pm
and environmental activist jeff gazard popped off in the inbox gbviews@gbnews.uk close. you've been getting such as well and gb news course is the people's channel and it's your voices that matter the most so joining me. oh gb news is sue cox from suffolk and lee harris from bristol. yes fantastic. good stuff, ladies . as i say, i'll stuff, ladies. as i say, i'll start with you how do you feel? how do you feel the idea that you're going to have to get a hate? well i want to respond to jack first and just say that the cost of living across this is dnven cost of living across this is driven almost 100% by the cost of fuel , because everything of fuel, because everything that's produced from going on houday that's produced from going on holiday and getting on plane to having something delivered to your supermarket that impacted by the cost of fuel in terms of powering up britain . i think powering up britain. i think it's just example of government posturing to plug , to placate posturing to plug, to placate the few. i think the masses are and i'm not happy about piling
5:23 pm
more money and i think electricity will not get cheapen electricity will not get cheaper. how can it possibly get cheaper. how can it possibly get cheaper well. well i don't i don't see how you're right i don't see how you're right i don't see how it will personally and also i don't like the idea increased control that it could have everyone's driving electric cars etc. that you know if the government can say well you're only allowed to charge them at this time for the national, i just don't like it. i don't like it. least when we left the european union, i suspect that many people thought that we would able to do own would be able to do our own thing, mean we might thing, not mean that we might have rules. regulations have fewer rules. regulations help one of the many help us go. one of the many people thought would lead to people thought it would lead to was doing towards was doing more towards zero agenda european union . agenda than the european union. for let's i mean, for goodness sake, let's i mean, it's insane. patrick mean, it feels to me like the government are lecturing me, declaring a net zero war on the populace , net zero war on the populace, even at the worst possible time. i mean, like most people i rely a lot on gas at home. have you got a gas cooker? have got a fridge. we use gas a lot and we've only literally upgraded
5:24 pm
our boiler in the last few years . a boiler to make it more efficient . we spent thousands on efficient. we spent thousands on that. efficient. we spent thousands on that . i efficient. we spent thousands on that. i have efficient. we spent thousands on that . i have a efficient. we spent thousands on that. i have a diesel car which i've had for long time, simply because at the moment i don't have the spare cash to buy a new car got diesel car, i'm car i've got diesel car, i'm being hit by increased diesel costs while. petrol stay the same the moment also run my same at the moment i also run my own business. we have the own business. we also have the highest burden in half a century i mean oh by way i've just had to remortgage as well the higher rate. so i went for a tracker in the end for two years because i think that the rates are coming down. i'm having to pay a higher rate in the it genuinely feels like as a of the public that we're just attacked from every single angle. so it's madness . single angle. so it's madness. yeah. and we are a bit pressed for time. so what i'm going to do is i'm going to the final word over to you. so i'm aware that you means you will have spoken longer to leave. i know liz very progressive right. so they be will be bang in they be it will be bang in favour this but us do you favour of this but sue us do you feel though our politicians
5:25 pm
feel as though our politicians are out of touch with exactly how much their policies are costing you as a person ? i think costing you as a person? i think they're completely of touch. and they're completely of touch. and the fact that our prime minister is a multimillion aire obviously doesn't help that . but, you doesn't help that. but, you know, everybody i speak has got the same problems. i've got the same views and the government as i said, they are placating few and driving the masses mad with every policy. this is this just a lie? well, i'll tell i think chaps and sunak them could actually provide an oft quoted two to this country going that lovely. i'm sorry, i'm got time to go back and i'm a good member. thank you sue great stuff. second up from stuff ali harris from bristol. i just have one quick email from tony saying heat subsidise. so people one quick email from tony saying heatcan subsidise. so people one quick email from tony saying heatcan afford sidise. so people one quick email from tony saying heat can afford these. so people one quick email from tony saying heat can afford the heat» people one quick email from tony saying heatcan afford the heat pumps; who can afford the heat pumps and is a contender for him and that is a contender for him out of the day. i think that sums it up, doesn't it? if you've got money, got you've got money, you got a subsidy you can fit the subsidy and you can fit the thing going to cost everybody
5:26 pm
else a load of money down the line because afford line because they can't afford to it's going to to get a subsidy it's going to it's just wrong. it's bonkers. it's bonkers anyway. right. moving prince harry moving on. prince harry was backing court today and his court against the publisher court case against the publisher of the daily continued. of the daily mail continued. will go to trial will it actually go to trial that it actually or

patrick yes. i just wanted to return, actually , to what was our top actually, to what was our top story. in fact . it broke shortly story. in fact. it broke shortly before i came on air at 3:00, which is the case of thomas cashman. he's now found guilty of the murder of nine year old olivia corbell in, liverpool. she was sadly shot dead in home last but this case was last august, but this case was terrible. obviously and in many ways as well . fascinating ways as well. fascinating because he opened up it shone a light, i think, into gang culture. the total lack of ethics, obviously, that is around the firearms, etc. i'm joined now by dr. david lowes , a joined now by dr. david lowes, a former detective sergeant with police. look, thank you very much for joining police. look, thank you very much forjoining me on this. i can remember it seems like a heck of long time ago. desperate pleas , please. come on. pleas, please. come on. someone's got information. someone's got information. someone's got information. and it was obvious it was something to the criminal to do with the criminal underworld and the world of drugs, etc, and it took a heck of time them to get of a long time for them to get this guy in custody. what is it about ? there a no grasp about? is there just a no grasp culture that has to led people like thomas cashman being
5:38 pm
essentially protected by other vile criminals for so long? what's on there? yeah, i think it's in certain certain of liverpool. i think . and it's not liverpool. i think. and it's not just liverpool. i think we could go to and he may just as much where there is that fear that , where there is that fear that, if they do inform grass that there'll be retribution by the criminals . there'll be retribution by the criminals. but there'll be retribution by the criminals . but what was really criminals. but what was really interesting in olivia's was well first of all there is still a thing where she's nine years of age not i think that that changed a complexion on the investigation but the whole community and i say community i don't just mean the area of where she she lived the whole came to encourage that identity information to come forward it even got to the stage where the managers and the football from everton and liverpool football club was saying this is not and we're encouraged young people. and so when the infamous asian night intelligence did come into
5:39 pm
to the investigators that they could then turn into evidence . i could then turn into evidence. i think then we started to see this particular investigation progressed, agreed to principle . you're right, patrick. it was a it was very difficult, certainly not. first, we'd get to i think, by the way. absolutely 100% correct that this kind of stuff would possibly happen. he knows this extreme , but happening in extreme, but it's happening in every single city. it's certainly not just a liverpool thing, but it comes to liverpool now specifically how easy it to get a gun and how big is the drug problem . well, first of drug problem. well, first of all, it's still difficult to get to. and of course, what we're concerned she made me we had selena kennedy, the constable, talking earlier. the investigation is still ongoing, simply because these these two firearms are still outstanding . firearms are still outstanding. so it is of those where it's not so much about purchasing them , so much about purchasing them, it's about passing on from them from criminal group to criminal group . so that's one of the group. so that's one of the issues. and that's why
5:40 pm
investigation is still going. but it's still difficult, patrick said, to physically get hold of one of these firearms as regards the sort of gang issue we've . well, i've certainly seen we've. well, i've certainly seen a change from when i was serving . and now, because i've been retired a good few years now. but obviously my own research at leeds beckett is looking at criminal policing and the various terrorism . so i haven't various terrorism. so i haven't seen change in the culture , if seen change in the culture, if you like, from the offenders. i remember years. it was one of those where if they use firearms , they would use it on each other. we seem to have gone to the coaching where i mean from years ago with rhys jones, we saw it, we've it now with olivia where the perpetrators with the firearm don't really seem to care who's the crossfire and that that that sort of moved the goalposts a little bit. i think . and how these gangs operate , . and how these gangs operate, yes, there are gangs, but fortunately the merseyside police and it's not because a
5:41 pm
former merseyside police that i live in liverpool, but merseyside police have from from the inspectors of have been commended for their work actually on serious organised crime under the gun culture . so crime under the gun culture. so i mean all this was a month, we had three shootings and three murders, unprecedented . but if murders, unprecedented. but if you look at the, the bigger i think what would be useful is give the figures of those that were being prevented look at the arrests that's going on the conviction. i think that's important so we get a sense of balance the bigger picture is always important. and i know that police have actually that the police have actually come and said, look, this is come out and said, look, this is going remove their tackle going to remove their to tackle the to the problem drug the gangs to the problem drug problem that such a so that 12 she didn't die in vain basically that something can come out of this today. we thank you very much, dr. david, who's a former detective sergeant with merseyside police. that was our top story the day, broke top story of the day, broke shortly before on air shortly before i came on air thomas cashman found guilty not sentenced sentences monday sentenced yet sentences monday found murdering bell
5:42 pm
found guilty of murdering bell nine years old. well i'm going to move on from that now though and return to another one of our top actually. so can and return to another one of our top believe actually. so can and return to another one of our top believe thatilly. so can and return to another one of our top believe that some) can and return to another one of our top believe that some schools you believe that some schools aren't telling parents their kids questioning so kids are questioning their so think you don't be think about this you don't be off school rock parents off a school you rock parents evening year later it says evening a year later it says some is now samantha and you went on the wiser it's i don't want absolute liberty what's going on i'm? patrick christys and
5:43 pm
5:44 pm
5:45 pm
gb news. welcome back. now a new report by change revealed that many schools could be their safeguarding requirements by not informing parents about their child, questioning their gender. as on television viewers can now see handouts depicting the gingerbread person , the gender gingerbread person, the gender bread person . i can't get it bread person. i can't get it right, whatever it is. anyway whose gender identity is sexual orientation displayed as a spectrum i had been given out of classes and i think this is
5:46 pm
really the most pressing one. it's certainly the one we're about to have a big debate on. now which is just 28% of schools who respond to this study said that they are reliably informed in parents. when a child said that are feelings of gender that they are feelings of gender distress or indeed chose to change that gender. so why wouldn't you tell parents do parents not a right to know about all of this stuff. joining me now to head to head is me now to go head to head is peter tatchell, lgbtq and director of the peter foundation and gbs presenter , kelvin and gbs presenter, kelvin robinson. look, thank you very much both . kelvin, i'll start much both. kelvin, i'll start with you. do parents have a right to know if their child goes to school and says that they are thoughts about they are having thoughts about changing their. they are having thoughts about changing their . gender first of changing their. gender first of all, what a show you've had today. absolutely fantastic. i saw we had miriam cates on here earlier articulating this argument far better than i possibly could, but i'll give it a go. of course, parents have , a a go. of course, parents have, a right know they don't just right to know they don't just deserve to. they have a right to know. it's a parent's job to educate a child. schools are to
5:47 pm
supplement education, supplement that education, to help replace the help parents, not to replace the parents. now, for a child to self i.d. as something that they are not and for the school to affirm that self identity dangerous. but for that school to not inform parents of that is safeguarding concern. they wouldn't do it with any other other aspect of life from eating disorders to, any other mental illness. why do they do it with men, with body dysmorphia ? men, with body dysmorphia? peter, i'll let you respond that i mean, if i was a parent, i'd be absolutely livid to not be by the school that my child was having issues their gender. peter well, first of all, kelvin is wrong being trans not a mental illness. we know from scientific evidence that trans identity has roots in genetics and brain processes and, brain structures. so it has a clear biological basis. the second thing i'd say is that the number one priority is the welfare of the person that comes and there
5:48 pm
will be circumstances where in parents about a child being trans would result in that child being physically and violently assaulted. we know . we also know assaulted. we know. we also know that where young trans people affirmed and supported in their gender identity , they have a gender identity, they have a much higher level of happiness and self—satisfaction . they do and self—satisfaction. they do better at school they are all round . i'm sorry, but you can't round. i'm sorry, but you can't on television and make things up and say we know these i wanted to back me but i'm calvin a coward. all so this details just that piece it goes. sorry, i'm struggling to hear what you as a page encountering obviously you talk about so the number one priority is to make sure that young trans people are happy they don't self—harm. and of course wherever possible, parents should be informed. okay. so you our call and
5:49 pm
covered come back to that that schoolteachers are not medical professionals. they are not qualified to make the decision whether a child is becoming a boy or a girl or gender that is not to them. they are not trained for that. i know as a qualified teacher that we're not trained for that school should be approaching parents and professionals other agencies professionals and other agencies to have a wider conversation about if is gender about this. if is gender dysphoria or gender dysphoria going on or gender dysmorphia a child has dysmorphia and a child has a serious illness and is serious illness and it is a mental illness to come on tv and say, no, not. we know from say, no, it's not. we know from genetics people don't genetics people checks don't talk make things talk rubbish don't make things up. as asta is up. factors such as asta is dangerous and so why is dangerous and so why is dangerous ? we have boys dangerous? we have young boys identifying going and identifying as girls going and taking female which taking part. female sports which is dangerous for the girls that they're competing against. we have going into girls have young boys going into girls toilets changing toilets and changing rooms, which is an invasion. well, see, this is true . inappropriate. this is true. inappropriate. this the other angle to it. this is the other angle to it. and peter, i would like to know as a parent, even my child was not going through any kind of
5:50 pm
gender issues whatsoever . gender issues whatsoever. whether or not in my own child's changing room , that was going to changing room, that was going to be a boy introduced into into that girl's changing. but i feel as though personally for me that would be a right. can i just would be a right. can ijust play would be a right. can ijust play a quick clip? actually, i believe look, i believe we've got this so i'll just i'll get you to comment off the of this clip because concern is there clip because my concern is there appears a push to remove appears to be a push to remove the parents from anything gender related children and indeed people like this guy jeffrey marsh online who wants kids to go no concern with that paris i can't believe i've got a clip of him now your parents need mistakes . you can't blame the mistakes. you can't blame the parents. of course you can't. i'm just concerned about the children . shouldn't go. no children. shouldn't go. no contact with her. i will tell you about no contact . don't you about no contact. don't worry about her being parents. you . feel things, but we're you. feel things, but we're better . first thing to say is
5:51 pm
better. first thing to say is that person is not representative or she is not a professional . all the trans professional. all the trans organisations that i know work with parents. so i know mermaids has come for a lot of stick, but we that mermaids in its work worked with parents and parents were 90 plus% happy with the way in which the children had been . in which the children had been. now i agree as i said earlier, parents should wherever possible be consulted . and in many cases be consulted. and in many cases when parents are consulted, they will support the decision of their child . and they, as kelvin their child. and they, as kelvin says , they will then get in says, they will then get in touch with medical and they will further investigate and advance their child's interests . it's their child's interests. it's always number one priority. what in the best interests of the child? every parent wants that? no parent wants as many parents want a trans job. but even that have one do not want them to suffer. okay, look, both of you,
5:52 pm
thank you very much. we're going to have to it there. i to have to leave it there. i think, because we're of think, because we're out of time. thoroughly time. but i've thoroughly enjoyed about . enjoyed that discussion about. we'll get you back on we'll have to get you back on because is not going because this issue is not going away time soon just to talk to those lgbtq and direct those lgbtq activists and direct the foundation the peter tatchell foundation and presenter calvin and gb news presenter calvin robinson. right. no doubt the emails filling thick and emails been filling in thick and fast that gbviews@gbnews.uk. fast on that gbviews@gbnews.uk. and to hear from you as and i'm very to hear from you as well . john says comedy are on well. john says comedy are on repair as parents should be told, i'm just incontinent, that they be parents should be told shortly whether or not that child wants to change gender which is the school really a right to hold back on that. i'm joined now by michelle break it's that time of the day already michelle you. time flies we're fun doesn't we're having fun doesn't i'm going to be picking up among other things on that issue that you've just been tweeting about that found that really that i found that really interesting conversation that fella jeffrey you fella jeffrey fellow that you just. all just. yeah videos of it's all right pizza. oh he's not a professional a he professional whatever a what he is very influential person. is a very influential person. absolutely were playing those videos. i was on a look. 4.4
5:53 pm
million people saying one of those videos. more than 3 million pretty much there. and about some of the others. so it's not professional sort of influence in these people off of obvious all the time is it? one of my panel, by the way, doesn't i should be debating this issue. he this way that way, he says this way or that way, more important things going on in country, it's not a show in the country, it's not a show that. i. exactly but that. well, i. exactly but i actually think that this is something that have be something that we have to be aware get and stop . aware of. get across and stop. i'm teacher it's that said i'm a teacher it's that said teach your kids not to have your kid comes you and says, oh, i think i'm a boy or whatever teacher going, oh, yeah, okay. well, where do they get off? i'm sorry, but where do they get off? on the idea that parents parents are responsible enough to a baby to keep it to create a baby to keep it alive however old it has to alive for however old it has to be, to out this have be, to go to out this have pumped full of all this stuff. but the parents would but then the parents would actually danger to the actually pose a danger to the child to find out whether or not they wrong they were born into the wrong body. i mean, on my watch body. well, i mean, on my watch and it comes down how involved you i would never
