patrick yes everybody now loves to go out today . but let's head to out today. but let's head to hamburg and the king and queen consort that rounding off their state visit historic state visit germany and cameron joins us coming. walker oliver, reporter come on, let's go . home a lot. come on, let's go. home a lot. patrick is the honest answer. there has been a number of engagements today. it started off reconciliation following the bomb damage already, which was done by and by britain then allied forces during world war. the king mentioned it. his speech at the bundestag, the german evidence dog the parliament yesterday that he would be doing that he visited the kindertransport memorial where the queen consort also laid a flower and that commemorates the 10,000 or so children who were transported via a british initiative ready give them safe passage to britain to escape the persecution that happened in 1938. the king and queen consort

then went to a ceremony a kind of memorial ceremony at st nikolai church here in hamburg, which is the time bombed out church. is it is it was bombed 1943 by the allied forces and both king charles, the british king as the german president laid wreaths at that particular service , they then came to here service, they then came to here the hamburg city hall, which is where am greeted by thousands and thousands of people in the crowds. and the king and queen consort spent lot of time actually going up and down the security barrier , meeting as security barrier, meeting as many people as the king. queen consort. but then once inside, they signs the golden book as queen elizabeth ii did during her state visit here in 1965. and even made a surprise balcony appearance on the balcony of hamburg's city hall to an eruption of cheers . the crowds eruption of cheers. the crowds here, it was quite a spectacle despite the pouring rain , which despite the pouring rain, which luckily has now stopped. but a number of the were stood here a

good couple of hours waiting for the king queen consort to arrive in the pouring rain. they then split off to do separate engagements involving . a school engagements involving. a school and literacy for queen and literacy for the queen consort's and environmental consort's and an environmental boat ready for the king. boat trip. ready for the king. but now what's happening right now, and i believe we've got live is this reception live pictures is this reception at this sheep and 52 building, which is near the port in hamburg. a number of performances, the king and queen consort are being given . they're consort are being given. they're being entertained by a thousand guests at this particular reception. and it's all about celebrating the shared culture and values of britain and germany. there's a beatles tribute band, for example they have a famous association with the with the ports of hamburg and obviously that british as well. so it's that kind of that kind of cultures, if you like. there's also a traditional hamburg she sea shanty group performing for the king queen consort in kind of flash mob consort too in kind of flash mob style performance and that's is

the final engagements. patrick what you're seeing now hopefully on your screens of this three day state visit strength and relations between britain and germany and i think on the whole been a success the media coverage both in britain and in and in has been pretty positive, to be honest. the king was on the front pages of german newspapers this morning because he became the first british monarch in to address the german bundestag in berlin and. the german people clearly seemed really appreciate him. he's very famous here. it's not just the welfare factor of what queen elizabeth ii has when she was our reigning, it seems to be the institution of the british monarchy . absolutely fantastic . monarchy. absolutely fantastic. well, coming in. thank you very much. come and walk that road reporter joining us. and he has reporterjoining us. and he has as and when we do get shots the king leaving germany finally we will actually them to you will actually bring them to you live. your eyes peeled live. so keep your eyes peeled that going to say i do that i'm just going to say i do think if someone decided to serenade me with a traditional german shanty, german sea shanty, i would probably first plane probably be on the first plane

back as well. but that we back home as well. but that we go loads more, loads more from germany very, germany coming your way very, very now a major very shortly. but now a major boost for post brexit britain. some good news germany is some good news as germany is front all, isn't it? and front after all, isn't it? and the accepted into an the uk been accepted into an indo pacific trade with the indo pacific trade bloc with the government , it's achieved the government, it's achieved the biggest trade deal since we left the eu trade secretary kemi badenoch has said that the ascension into the comprehensive and progressive agreement for the trans—pacific partnership , the trans—pacific partnership, it says bits of a mouthful is the potential for growth tomorrow with the bloc containing 11 other trading nafions. containing 11 other trading nations . and this does mean nations. and this does mean a lot and quite a lot of different things as well for us. let's have a look at some of the key facts about this deal, shall we? so 11 countries in the so there are 11 countries in the trade bloc, including australia, japan and canada, together japan and canada, put together those nations. economies represent 13 one 3% of the world's total gross domestic product . the deal gives britain product. the deal gives britain access to countries with a combined population of more than 500 million people. the members , the bloc, are required to drop

more than . 95% of their tariffs more than. 95% of their tariffs on trade so that we go so big when really for great britain i think i'm joined in the studio by gb news is political reporter olivia. olivia this is this is great stuff isn't say well it mean economically for britain and politically geopolitically as well . well it is really good as well. well it is really good news for britain. i mean, going to start by saying what the what the naysayers , if you like. yes. the naysayers, if you like. yes. what the opposition about it, because they have some because that they have some valid points, which is that over the next ten years, it's only expected to add 0.08% to britain's gdp . and of course we britain's gdp. and of course we already did have trade deals with nine of the 11 countries in this bloc. the only ones that are new to us are malaysia and brunei are not huge global economies . that brunei are not huge global economies. that said, geopolitics early and in terms of soft power, it is very very important. firstly, you've got this region which is really growing in strength , growing in

growing in strength, growing in numbers. so it's thought by the end of this decade 50% of the world's middle class will be living in these 11 different regions . so having access to regions. so having access to that sort of market is fantastic for britain. it's also course china's garden essentially and we know that china has a huge of influence in the region. so have britain there sort of mitigating against that influence on behalf of the west shows that britain is very serious about its position on the global stage. it also in terms of china helps us to become less reliant on china lots of british supply chains , lots of british supply chains, lots of british supply chains, lots of british supply chains, lots of those sort of boring little bits, microchips, etc. which we use in equipment every day, is produced in china . and day, is produced in china. and at the moment we're very, very reliant on that. and of course, that leads to big security worries like what we saw with huawei. so this will enable us to diversify supply chains , help to diversify supply chains, help us have more manufac deals us to have more manufac deals with these countries , make trade

with these countries, make trade almost frictionless . it's also almost frictionless. it's also good news for brexiteers because it makes the joining that rejoining the eu at any under a labour government far less likely. well it's also about a couple of points here. so could have done this if we're still in the eu, what does it mean about potential rejoining of the european union ? we couldn't have european union? we couldn't have done this while we were still in eu this trading has eu because this trading bloc has different regulations to the eu. so we are only able to do it because we are now nimble and on our road weak. if a labour wanted to rejoin the eu, they would have to renegotiate this deal. would have to renegotiate this deal . and so yes, it would be deal. and so yes, it would be possible , but it sort of raises possible, but it sort of raises the bar for rejoining the eu . it the bar for rejoining the eu. it also would be politically more difficult because if we have a labour government with a with a form remainer at the helm like keir starmer , he could have made keir starmer, he could have made the argument that and we've heard people in the shadow cabinet the argument that cabinet making the argument that brexit no brexit has delivered no dividends, is dividends, whereas this is a very clear brexit benefit and

goes beyond just a pure financial amounts of this. around £1.8 billion or something like that, gdp over the course of the next ten years. the detractors will say that's 0.08, which is not a whopping great big number. they'll say that's far than the amount we've lost by virtue of not being a member of the european union. but you think more to it than that. absolutely. so yes. impugning numerical it's not numerical terms, it's not particularly but particularly impressive, but in geopolitical , it shows geopolitical term s, it shows that geopolitical terms, it shows that britain, you know, boris johnson about global johnson talks about global britain. is very britain. well, this is very clear britain's intent clear sign of britain's intent to be a player on the world stage . ministers were referring stage. ministers were referring to it as that in the pacific tilts. britain's got tilt, turning away from eu and towards these indo—pacific countries. and in the long that could be a very sense a shift because the eu is in power year on year. we can see the eu's economy pretty much going down on a steady trajectory , whereas these 11 trajectory, whereas these 11 countries are seeing that the economies so we're sticking with the winners . so sticking with

the winners. so sticking with the winners. so sticking with the winners. so sticking with the winners hopefully is a good way of putting it. okay all right. now, look, people get your emails coming in on this is not very that we seem to not very often that we seem to be announce it is a be able to announce and it is a good, genuine, really positive thing of the show. thing at. the start of the show. it can often be quite miserable and order we can't see so this it can often be quite miserable aractuallyne can't see so this it can often be quite miserable ar actually quite1't see so this it can often be quite miserable aractually quite good; so this it can often be quite miserable ar actually quite good win this it can often be quite miserable aractually quite good win get is actually quite good win get your coming in your views coming in a gbviews@gbnews.uk. is so gbviews@gbnews.uk. this is so good part deal allow good to the part this deal allow these to trade with us and vice versa in a more free way that's from tony. look, keep of this coming, olivia. just one quick one you. bit off topic. one for you. bit off topic. there's a call to ask you because we're going to be talking about this of all of the controversial that we controversial things that we cover this show, cover on this show, this gentleman proving already gentleman is proving already to be emails be the controversial emails coming fast on coming in thick and fast on this. a hash. how about any this. just a hash. how about any place full english place in a full english breakfast? definitely. i'd say you hash. definitely. you get the hash. definitely. okay. reason okay. fantastic. and the reason why just our why i've just asked our political reporter wrote it is because there was an epic going on at minute. the great on at the minute. the great british breakfast does british breakfast club does now hash forcefully remove hash browns forcefully remove food from a language they say their and they've their american and they've got no in full english. i

no place in the full english. i mean great. there we go. so we talked of that very, talked about all of that very, very shortly. got to be very shortly. i've got to be honest here. just the more food, the me. i'm pro the better me. so i'm pro hashbrown lot of you not, hashbrown a lot of you are not, is say. but yes those is that to say. but yes those these coming in an eclectic makes today ladies and makes the show today ladies and gents to huge story gents but now to huge story i mean it's barely than a hash browns but we'll it a go. browns but we'll give it a go. involving united states involving the united states donald the first donald has become the first former president to face criminal. was criminal. now, trump was indicted , a grand jury in indicted, a grand jury in manhattan last night. the case revolve around a payment of around £105,000 made to adult film star stormy daniels in 16. so she says that she had an affair with trump. he denies all of these and says that he's completely innocent. he's expected to appear in court in new york early next. but as even new york early next. but as ever, there's lot more to it when it comes to this story, not just in terms of what happens and what could happen but and what could happen next, but also mean also what it could mean politically, because people politically, because some people are saying this is an absolute gift publicans and gift from publicans and trump supporters also and supporters. there are also and it's definitely worth raising this serious , concerns about

this serious, concerns about what this might mean. okay. in terms of attacks or civil unrest on the streets of america , here on the streets of america, here to talk to me about this in more detail is us political journalist, uncommon writer is laurie laird. laurie, thank you so much. great to have you on the show. all right, christopher, almost. what could happen now that said, as happen now that said, trump, as we is still in we understand it, is still in mar lago florida. he's mar a lago in florida. he's going have to rock up in going to have to rock up in manhattan at some and manhattan at some point. and have and fingerprints have a mug shot and fingerprints taken see it looks it it taken to see it looks it it looks like he will be there on tuesday. and we understand his lawyers have been appearing various news various news stations, us. news stations they say stations earlier today. they say that donald trump will surrender voluntarily so we won't have any images of him in handcuffs being let into the prosecco writer's office in new york. so it sounds like this will be at least in process, as simple as might be, although whether whether that satisfies supporters that he is being fairly under the under the course of the law that is very

much an open question. okay all right. now, look, he denies all of this, doesn't say he's saying that there initially wasn't aware of the payment, nobody anything to do with adult star stormy daniels. the story has changed what we up changed a little bit. what we up to now in the donald trump defence look at this it's difficult to say because the indictment he has been indicted by what's called a grand jury it's a panel of ordinary citizens have been discussing all things trump for quite some time . we don't know what he been time. we don't know what he been indicted of lots of reporting there are counts somewhere between 20 and 30 counts. again, we don't know. he doesn't know. it does appear this relates to money was paid to an adult film star called stormy daniels . she star called stormy daniels. she claims she had an affair with trump way back in ancient . now, trump way back in ancient. now, i think this is where we have to start paying her a is not illegal so we have to be very very clear there. what the we are putting things together what we do know it appears the new

york prosecutor has investigated investigated how these payments were booked. was there accounting fraud there ? if there accounting fraud there? if there was accounting fraud , that is was accounting fraud, that is it's called a misdemeanour. it's not it's a civil it's a criminal charge, but it carries a maxim sentence of a year. it is a particularly big deal where the question becomes a little bit murkier is , whether if there murkier is, whether if there were accounting irregular parties, whether they were used to up another crime or to commit another crime , then this comes another crime, then this comes into the felony . for years, into the felony. for years, a four years for , four years. this four years for, four years. this prosecutor , four years, criminal prosecutor, four years, criminal charges, four years jail. what's that away here? but i think one thing point i have to make is that this will be devil's hard to prove in court. yeah. and this is a key point because a lot of trump are saying this is actually potentially quite a good thing for donald trump and

could lead to him getting back in the white house could be a great thing for the republican because they it looks like because they say it looks like desperate witch hunt . look, and desperate witch hunt. look, and i think that that is exactly what donald trump will say. that is exactly what his supporters will say. and again, this will be hard to prove, not least because if we are looking at whether these hush whether these these hush payments, one of the things we think they are looking at is, whether this violated federal electoral campaign laws . whether this violated federal electoral campaign laws. in fact, that's what michael cohen, it formerly trump's lawyer that's what he went to jail for. here's the problem. this is a prosecution in court. these election , these electoral laws election, these electoral laws are federal . there's not much are federal. there's not much mixing and matching between these. so i think this is important. i am a little bit that the prosecute went forward this because i think it will be hard to prove but i think there's something else here that incredibly important we're going to hear a lot of discussion about politically motivated and i think we have to very, very

careful here because whether or not this is politically motivated or not, the next guy who comes along the next high profile politician who may be investigated may not be a republican and. we need to be very careful that we paint every political investigation as something that is politically motivated. exactly. thank you very, very much laurie. great to have you on the show. that's laurie. glad that is a us political journalist. now, it's worth noting this as well, because was backed by some of his biggest within a few minutes of breaking we've got of this news breaking we've got matt gaetz here is a florida congressman been congressman who has been relentless the defence former relentless in the defence former president. he tweeted president donald trump always fought for us he puts the american people above interests for that above corrupt interests for that reason alone the powerful will never stop coming . him. never stop coming. him. a majority of americans . alvin majority of americans. alvin brown's witch hunt is politically motivated prosecution . that line again. prosecution. that line again. isn't that politically motivated . i continue to stand with president as he has always stood with us. i'm going to go to

georgia now because georgia congresswoman marjorie taylor greene , another key ally. let greene, another key ally. let loose with president trump is innocent . she's kept up with innocent. she's kept up with innocent. she's kept up with innocent and at least one exclamation mark may be too is hard for me to say on that screen, but basically she really means it. but not everyone. not everyone unhappy with this news. trump's own . so it's fair to say trump's own. so it's fair to say a context here. i'm a better context here. i'm sure you they've got you already know they've got massive previous . they not massive previous. they do not get marriage . posted get it on marriage. posted a long tweet which included the words for the victims of donald. this is finally some measure justice. it's been a long time coming but everything coming, but after everything donald country donald has put this country through again the capital through again with the capital letters, so you can tell people are really emotional about all this. we have prevailed. that's her statement . and it looks like her statement. and it looks like stormy daniels already making money last news. so this is money from last news. so this is the lady who now adult film star who is, of course, saying that i, donald trump, essentially paid a hush money after an affair, which he denies. she tweeted, thank you everyone for

your support and love. i so many messages coming in that i can't respond. and also i don't want to spill my champagne team stormy merge is just tell me american without telling me you're american. okay team stormy merchandise plus autograph orders are pouring into . thank you for that as into. thank you for that as well. but allow a few extra days for shipment of you. course no, make this up. go do anyway. there we go. so bring you more on it as and when we get. but yes, look, trump supporters are saying this is an absolutely massive which on the actually do quite well for the republican party and others are well getting popcorn out and getting the popcorn out and waiting trump have his waiting for trump to have his mugshot his mugshot taken and his fingerprints taken and presumably in court one presumably appear in court one day so, we go day soon. so, yes that we go now. moving on closer to six climate are being climate activists are being today disrupted last today after they disrupted last year's british grand prix. is it time to just stop? to just stop? i going to be talking to one of our representatives very, very shortly. i'm patrick christys. this is

gb news. welcome back. now climate activists are being this afternoon after they invaded the track during last year's british grand prix. the protesters from just stop oil were convicted last month of causing a public nuisance . you know what i mean ? nuisance. you know what i mean? at least, isn't it? during the trial the prosecution said their actions caused to the drivers and officials. now tv viewers will be able to see this now so that it's what we can see falling just up a little protesters sitting track protesters sitting on the track at formula one cars at silverstone. formula one cars are past , been at silverstone. formula one cars are past, been forced are whizzing past, been forced to slow down and there's six of them who are guilty and going to be sentenced. the other one was found in a car nearby with glue cable ties and a just stop oil bannen cable ties and a just stop oil banner. so essentially back to rights, some would say they were bailed presumably because there was a flight risk and they're going to be sentenced today . was a flight risk and they're going to be sentenced today. i'm joined now by emma webb, who's the uk director the common

the uk director of the common sense society . i think these sense society. i think these days a thing. emma thank days is a rare thing. emma thank you very, very much. what do you expect to happen to law? expect to happen to this law? because could seriously because they could seriously face that . face a prison sentence that. well, it's very difficult to say because if remember when because. if you remember when the colston four were on trial for what they did to the statue of colston during the black lives matter protest back in 2020, they were actually essentially let off of the hook . we've lots of . and we've seen lots of instances of criminal damage by groups like extinction rebellion stop oil and other radical progressive groups and they don't seem to really consistently justice. so i wouldn't necessarily want to call it i would like to think that actually they would receive quite a harsh sentence for this because it's quite clear that they put people's lives at risk. we've seen just oil before blocking , motorways stopping blocking, motorways stopping emergency service vehicles like ambulances fire trucks from being able to get to where they need to be, putting people's lives at risk. they clearly think that their cause is more

important than human life as well as property and heritage, as you've seen with them pouring cans , soup over artwork. so i'd cans, soup over artwork. so i'd like to see them get a really tough, but i'm not completely given the history on this that they will actually see of justice. they will say that, won't they? they are trying to protest against arguably the most agreed just example of what they are trying prove, which is a load of rich men riding in potentially gas guzzling cars on a world tour of fumes into the atmosphere as other petrol heads shout more and faster. so they will presumably be saying, this is look, this is the most obvious example of the thing that we hate. i mean, have they got a. lewis hamilton seems to think and he draws one of the things i mean lewis hamilton's a complete hypocrite and he they are clearly trying to imitate the suffragettes clearly trying to imitate that famous in

incident when a suffragette onto a horse racing course. but they're not the suffragettes and actually this could have really put at risk not only the lives of themselves, but the drivers, those people who working on the course, they said that they they had done extensive research order to ensure that this was safe, but there would be no purpose in doing unless it actually posed a serious risk. no. okay. so, i mean, if it goes to prison, though, is there a risk that they almost become martyrs. of course. be not quite the same way as if one of those cars is thundered into them at 200 miles an hour. but is there a that they could go down a risk that they could go down in history, do they not kind of want to go to prison? i think we need need to balance this need to. we need to balance this with what happen otherwise with what could happen otherwise if a tough if we don't give them a tough sentence, i think that sentence, because i think that repeatedly, you know, all of the same like i mentioned, same cause like i mentioned, lives protesters and lives matter protesters and damage. think a lot these damage. i think a lot of these progressive activists seen progressive activists have seen that justice isn't done in these cases. that justice isn't done in these cases . they've seen that they cases. they've seen that they can push their luck and get away

with and what we seeing as with it. and what we seeing as a result is escalation. and there is a real genuine and potential threat of this sort of activism developing eco terrorism. so we need be very careful that we draw the boundaries of the law and enforce the law very carefully if we allow them to get away with it, will only encourage to do further miles of damage and potentially putting people's lives at risk. i mean , people's lives at risk. i mean, their own it comes just after a group of quite woke eco friendly lawyers decided that they were not going to prosecute any of , not going to prosecute any of, despite the fact that none of them, as far as i could tell, would have ever in a position to prosecute any of them. and one of them club to death of them did club fox to death with a baseball bat wearing his wife's kimono on boxing morning. so not the most eco so maybe not the most eco friendly individual there, but that has buoyed some of that maybe has buoyed some of these activists to say, well, this great. we've got the this is great. we've got the legal community behind us now and we act with impunity. and we just act with impunity. but alluded to idea that but you alluded to the idea that maybe day they could be maybe one day they could be classed terrorists and

classed as as terrorists and i mean, essentially that's similar ish. similar ish, but not quite the same as what happened with inside britain, who are now of course into prison they well course into prison all they well i don't think they you know i don't think they are you know i'm suggesting these people i'm not suggesting these people are terrorists, but i'm saying that if we allow people to break the law , you know, if they there the law, you know, if they there are there are groups who think their ideological objectives are more important than the safety of the public. they think that the apocalypse is nigh and that they have to act now and they will do so. all costs that obviously a risk of escalation . obviously a risk of escalation. and that's why you need to make sure that you are the law because we've seen doing all sorts of , you know, criminal sorts of, you know, criminal damage, being willing to break the law in pursuit of their objectives. and if that starts to put the public in danger, of course, there's a risk of escalation. we need to escalation. so we need to be very careful in that very careful in managing that risk. we're talking about risk. so if we're talking about whether want to go to whether not they want to go to prison, or not would prison, whether or not would become martyrs i think we need to think about what could really happen. hand.

gb news. welcome back . return to one of welcome back. return to one of our top stories now. donald becoming the first former president to face criminal charges . he president to face criminal charges. he has been indicted by a jury over a payment of a grand jury over a payment of around £105,000 made to an adult film , stormy daniels in 2016. film, stormy daniels in 2016. let's turn to former white house special adviser to donald trump and host of america. first, as as sebastian gorka. sebastian absolutely. pleasure to have you on the show. thank you very, very much. is this a witch hunt?

well we just have to put it in context, patrick, of the last seven years, what have we seen? it's fear. somebody says this , it's fear. somebody says this, the most persecuted man in american history. here's the rundown. here's to use the judicial phrase, the fact pattern. first, we what we have the first time in us. history, something called crossfire hurricane. never before did three intelligence agencies. the nsa , the cia and the fbi have nsa, the cia and the fbi have a covert operation to spy on a presidential campaign. they try to prove the russian collusion nexus. they failed. then he became president. what happened ? they had the former director of the fbi , one created by of the fbi, one created by robert mueller , given $40 robert mueller, given $40 million and dozens of fbi agents 20 months to investigate so—called russia collusion. again utter failure. after that, they tried to impeach him, they failed. and here's the here's the example of the utter derangement of the left in our country. they tried to impeach him again. patrick he'd left office, impeached and is used to

remove somebody from office. he'd already go. and speaker pelosi had a second witch hunt. then we had the fbi armed raid on his in mar a lago. so, yes, i would say this is just another auto star witch hunt and. we don't know exactly everything that he's going to be charged with yet, do we? and so i suppose , will be saying, let's suppose, will be saying, let's wait and see. that is first, we believe maybe on tuesday and then maybe more will come to light. well, look, they been leaks. of course, the left likes to always leak. there were leaks to always leak. there were leaks to this news outlet, to cnn has less than half a million viewers in a nation of 320 million americans. what they said that it is false ification of business records, which is interesting because that is a misdemeanour charge , has a two misdemeanour charge, has a two year statute of limitations . year statute of limitations. this occurred seven years ago. so they have this food tray legal theory that's never been

tried before to a misdemeanour from seven years ago to election fraud meaning the payment of this nda . it's not a hush this nda. it's not a hush payment. it's a nondisclosure . i payment. it's a nondisclosure. i had a nondisclosure when i was an adviser . had a nondisclosure when i was an adviser. the trump organisation giving him national security advice on the campaign trail. now trying to say well he accrued some kind of election from paying this nda to stormy daniels therefore that's some kind of skirting of federal election funding rules is most outlandish thing you have ever even if you didn't vote for president trump to say that's that's okay. i mean look trump has gone on to truth socially says bro about , this fake, says bro about, this fake, corrupt, disgraceful charge against me because i stand with the american people. so he's coming out swinging. we would expect nothing less from this. what do we know about alvin brack? who is the district

attorney investigating seeing donald trump? what's going there? so in the us we have a rather peculiar system where local prosecute are actually elected officials have a political capital at political campaign, then they're elected and then they become this bureaucrat of the court. alvin bragg ran on ticket of putting donald trump in prison. write. this is how unbiased this individual is. and not only that he was funded to the tune of more than $1,000,000 in that campaign by a soros foundation . campaign by a soros foundation. so this is one of george soros more than 3000 pit bulls. these pro left wing prosecutors that have been by george soros. so this is a guy who's been on a witch hunt and he admitted this when he was campaigning for the position. and now he's following on that promise of taking the

man who got. let me remind in the last election , 74 million the last election, 74 million votes moved votes than any incumbent president in the history of america. sebastian thank you very much for your time. always a pleasure. great to have you on the show. sebastian gorka, that is the former white house advises donald trump, former white house advises donald trump , the host of donald trump, the host of america first. and just very wanted here. a little smidgen of strong language there and apologies. okay, right. so now to a huge sports story and former england cricket captain michael vaughan has been found not guilty of racism by a cricket disciplinary panel. vaughan was accused of making a racist. comments about . players racist. comments about. players of asian heritage ahead of a game for his county yorkshire back in 2009 and the bbc he was working for at the time responded very very strongly. there was a lot of stuff going around online about this guy and now, guilty it. so to now, now guilty it. so to discuss this story, i am joined by sports broadcaster and writer aidan magee . thank you very aidan magee. thank you very much, sir michael vaughan .

much, sir michael vaughan. vindicated. well yeah. on the balance of probabilities which means that he's more than 50% likely not to have made these comments. the problem is that was so long ago . it was before was so long ago. it was before test that trent bridge in 2009 was alleged to have made these comments to azeem rafiq, adil rashid and two other asian players . there was discrepancies players. there was discrepancies in evidence. i think it's fair to say that vaughan's lawyer had a day marrying up or a field day marrying up or trying to marry up the various testimonies from . the four testimonies from. the four players also criticised the players who also criticised the ecb investigation as he may ecb investigation but as he may face wider and wider accusation , cricket was institution racist boosted up? yeah. look, absolute glee and this was michael vaughan was kind of caught in the control of all of this and the control of all of this and the bbc reacting quite strongly, didn't they. they did at the time. yeah. they've also released statement today, i'm released a statement today, i'm not going to it out word released a statement today, i'm notwordg to it out word released a statement today, i'm notword but it out word released a statement today, i'm notword but they it out word released a statement today, i'm notword but they did,jt word released a statement today, i'm notword but they did, they've for word but they did, they've been michael been in contact with michael vaughan. big question here, patrick, is, he going to get patrick, is, is he going to get his job test match special back? he from that he stood back from that last last said they've

last june. they said they've been michael been in contact, michael vaughan, stepped back vaughan, since he stepped back from broadcasting, but they won't comment further. won't make any comment further. they be making any further they won't be making any further comment at time. that comment at this time. now, that kicks road, kicks the can down the road, i suppose, it is something suppose, but it is something that needs consideration. there's not saying there's not they're not saying that to step that he won't be able to step back the chair. a lot of back into the chair. a lot of people will say, well, hang on a minute, been vindicated. minute, he's been vindicated. his lawyer has exonerated him effectively the charges. effectively against the charges. and should we and so, you know, should we step back bbc, though i back for the bbc, though i think you say. well, so you should say. well, okay, so i on the balance of probabilities, is not a clear i think i think a lot of people will take massive exception that, really, exception to that, really, because it's because it does that it's quite easy this day and age for easy in this day and age for someone to love a massive accusation out there about and the word is a huge accusation. the r word is a huge accusation. it and you lose it is. and then you lose everything. you can lose your job. lose the respect of job. you can lose the respect of your you never again. you your peers. you never again. you probably the probably get bit from the dentist circuit and all dentist making circuit and all of and then of this stuff. and then you found not guilty the balance of probabilities and people go, well, be sure. you well, we can't be 100% sure. you didn't so we're not didn't it? so we're still not going give job back. going to give you a job back. no, true. i mean, it was no, that's true. i mean, it was a point by michael

a point made by michael vaughan's lawyer at the hearing took first took place march the first amongst year. there's amongst the ninth year. there's amongst the ninth year. there's a day, nine day sitting. he a nine day, nine day sitting. he said that it has implications for his livelihood for his life, his livelihood and what does going forward. he's what it does going forward. he's only he's not as only 48 years old. he's not as if was ready to pay out to if he was ready to pay out to greys. i mean, this is a stellar name as well. this is somebody let england sit first. ashes triumph since 1987. back in 2005, 51 tests. 2005, he captained 51 tests. between 2003 and 2008. so it does huge implications for him going see the going forward. we'll see how the media react. see how the media react. we'll see how the bbc such. bbc doesn't advertise as such. but it's in their to but it's in the it's in their to be able to reinstall him but they might look at they they might look at the heat they might from not sponsors or might get from not sponsors or advertisers. apply advertisers. that doesn't apply in certainly from in this case. but certainly from from listeners. from fans, from listeners. i think most people would say that he should be allowed to step back the breach. yeah, back into the breach. yeah, indeed. look, we'll indeed. and look, we'll obviously to date on obviously keep you up to date on that and when there are any that as and when there are any developments. is a big developments. but it is a big day michael vaughan it day for michael vaughan and it is part he rightly said, is part as he rightly said, there are a much wider case. i think fascinating that think he's fascinating that there is easy always there hasn't is very easy always catches this is very catches my eye on this is very easy allegations to be put easy for allegations to be put

out people it's very out there about people it's very easy people's names to be easy for people's names to be dragged through the mud. and then often i'm is my then all too often i'm is my eyes wide open because i'm obviously work in the news industry. right. but all too often not maybe given the same prominence. somebody is cleared essentially. yeah, exactly. well, should say, as well, look, we should say, as azeem rafiq, you know, there were that just were suggestions that he's just made about made this vindictive about michael when say at the very, michael when he say at the very, very beginning, this just very beginning, this can't just be michael vaughan. be about michael vaughan. of course, five other course, i have five other players and the players involved as well and the accusation cricket more accusation about cricket more widely about it being institutionally still, institutionally racist, still, as i ask you as i said. can i ask you something completely off topic and that all right? i feel and is that all right? i feel like know each other well like we know each other well enough out what's enough when we find out what's it to be about. yeah. so there is debate raging is a big debate raging at the minute. we're going to be talking about this a little bit later but i want later on in the show. but i want to ask you. okay so the great british breakfast society want to hash browns? yeah. full to ban hash browns? yeah. full english. what your view english. yeah. what is your view on love brown, on this? i love a hash brown, but the problem is i'm diabetic and carbohydrates for me on and so carbohydrates for me on the the breakfast this the on the breakfast this morning, sausage, morning, it was bacon, sausage, 999 ' morning, it was bacon, sausage, egg , tomato, baked beans at egg, tomato, baked beans at 5:00. really have anything else

containing 11 other trading nations. let's just take a look now at some of the key facts about this deal. so there are 11 countries in the trade bloc. these include nations like australia japan and put australia japan and canada put together . those nations together. those nations economies represent 39, one 3% of the world's total gross domestic product . the deal gives domestic product. the deal gives britain to countries with a combined population of more than 500 million people. the members , the bloc, are required to drop more than 95% of their tariffs on trade . that some facts out on trade. that some facts out for you. i'm joined now in the studio by gb news is political reporter olivia. olivia i was quite surprised i must say, although i should have be the amount of detraction this oh it's just a puny little trade deal and it's only going to 0.08% of all gdp . is there any 0.08% of all gdp. is there any merit to the negative vanity? it's all because i'm feeling good about this. well, in purely numerical terms, it doesn't look that impressive. as you say will add 0.08% to gdp over the next

ten years and. of course, we already had trade agreements . already had trade agreements. nine of the 11 countries in the partnership . and there is an partnership. and there is an argument of , course that brexit argument of, course that brexit has has meant that with the eu has has meant that with the eu has has meant that with the eu has has lessened. we're not trading so well eu countries, but all of that said, i agree with that i think it is generally very news for britain. it's a big of britain's intent. the global stage . and of course the global stage. and of course bofis the global stage. and of course boris johnson talked about global britain, but there was very little flesh on the bones, if you like. well, this puts flesh, the bones, this partnership of 11 countries is a growing area of in the world. it's that by the end of the decade, 50% of the world's middle will be in these 11 countries. once the uk joins, this partnership will be responsible for 15% of global gdp , which is higher than the eu gdp, which is higher than the eu is globally. from today's gdp last year. so the thought that even if in the very short term it not be headline droppingly

fantastically financially great in the long term, there some huge benefits people always dig britain out there for a lack of forward planning and sticking plaster politics and they unveil something that will put us in the same bracket as australia. brunei chile, japan , brunei canada, chile, japan, mexico , new zealand, peru, mexico, new zealand, peru, singapore . in vietnam, which singapore. in vietnam, which supposed to be massive planning for the future and our future economy . and people just say economy. and people just say it's not to take as much in the short term. well, absolutely. and other very interesting element of it is that the us wanted to join the forerunner to this, which the trans this, which was the trans pacific alliance under barack obama and pulled out of it under trump and the democrats are worried about the democrats are interested in this alliance, but are worried about going near it because they think it was it's a sort of poisoned chalice because it because of the noises trump made about it. but it's thought that quite likely at that it's quite likely that at some the future america some point the future america might. this this this might. well join this this this partnership and that would be a

very backdoor of getting very backdoor way of getting a trading agreement with the us which as we know has been very difficult to come by. so it seems to be sensible, forward. now, is this purely an economic trading block? does it come with any the kind of political and societal that we had in the eu? well technically, no, it doesn't. it doesn't its own courts. it doesn't have own parliament. it isn't interested in harmonising in ever closer political unity. there's no talk about about a bloc army or anything as we've had with the eu . that said, i mean, trade is eu. that said, i mean, trade is always quite political and forwards for china wants to join it at some point was blocked from joining it it's not thought that china is on the of joining in any way would japan be interested in being in this sort of partnership which which china would be bound to. but if china were to join, how would that look. you know, we have this this government has promised to distance from china. it's recognised china a is not quite a threat but something very new

a threat but something very new a threat but something very new a threat and. there could be difficult political problems, but it isn't the same sort of organisation as the eu at all. it is purely and it's at pains to stress that. yeah. look olivier , thank you very much as olivier, thank you very much as even olivier, thank you very much as ever. olivia utley our reporter. how do you feel about this, ladies and gentlemen? i mean, it is fascinating is now i'm just having a look now on some of the variety of different headlines we've this. okay. so we've got about this. okay. so we've got about this. okay. so we've p, tpp which is the we've got c p, tpp which is the snappy acronym , this uk accepted snappy acronym, this uk accepted into indo—pacific trade bloc and biggest trade deal since brexit. britain is re—emerging as an economic powerhouse. britain the tpp is a triumph. economic powerhouse. britain the tpp is a triumph . the tories, tpp is a triumph. the tories, bbc news , uk asia trade deal to bbc news, uk asia trade deal to boost uk economy by nought point 8. i mean , come on guys, allow 8. i mean, come on guys, allow yourself to be happy. i just yourself to be happy. i just yourself to be happy. i just yourself to be happy. i'm joined now by conservative mp james duddndge now by conservative mp james duddridge james. great to have you on the show. you have a week starting this is a product of

five years of work. liam fox started off we couldn't have doneit started off we couldn't have done it without brexit. it moves away from the slow growth interventionist muddle that is the eu . it's a key deliverable the eu. it's a key deliverable post—brexit and a do mongers say you know , one day one it's not you know, one day one it's not going to make any it's not a bad day. one is a longer term 15% of the global trade goes these 11 countries indo—pacific is growing faster as your clip before alluded to the half the middle classes. before alluded to the half the middle classes . that before alluded to the half the middle classes. that is the future of the global future for the united kingdom. the outward looking future for the united is just tells me that you just talk to me about this james, because look to honest with you, it's a great thing in terms of. yeah, okay. we sat around the table and we signed something with the of and it looks as of nations and it looks as though it's to be a good though it's going to be a good thing for the future you know the that is only going the fact is that is only going to boost our economy by nought point nought 8% in the short term. can at you and

term. and people can at you and say, well, this is nothing what we we're in the is we have when we're in the eu is it still net loss for britain? it still a net loss for britain? some say, no. i mean this some would say, no. i mean this is big going forward for is a big deal going forward for a growth area. you know, we always go beyond what is expected anyway. it's a stepping stone . i mean previous our trade stone. i mean previous our trade deals either rolled over deals either been rolled over similar to the eu deals or the case of australia and new zealand slightly bolder. that was a bill that i took through parts of its stages , the commons parts of its stages, the commons and that again was stepping stone to. this agreement which could go further with other countries going in taiwan and has expressed an interest you talked about the problems of china and a region that, you know, rather incomprehensible acronyms to be tpp without the americans and what they decided not to come in the comprehensive partnership agreement was was added with them out but that would be a big game changer if they did go in under a different administration and i would ask

the democrats and the republicans to be free trade is in the global self—interest is interesting because for a long penod interesting because for a long period of time people have been very keen to highlight the negative sides of britain and comments about maybe how other nafions comments about maybe how other nations viewers on the world stage. but clearly brunei, canada, chile , malaysia, mexico canada, chile, malaysia, mexico new zealand, peru, singapore and vietnam i think that we are a fabulous addition to this little club . what it's about, it's club. what it's about, it's a big club. when i went to the g20, the trade ministers meetings at last year, everyone was very keen to get on board for different reasons different nafions for different reasons different nations have different priorities. but there was a feeling that a closer working closer trade was good, but know falling short of the political union the distraction has been the european union is the european is stuck to a free trading block for principally that would have been a bloc i

would have been happy to purchase about. and as long as we didn't lock others as to do but they didn't seem to be. can you localise, please? for people like me who are thinking, well, this sounds great, we're all here saying, well, post—brexit deal here saying, well, post—brexit deal, mega stuff . well, what am deal, mega stuff. well, what am i going to see from this, you know, what kind of products are we going be trading? kind of, we going to be trading? kind of, you know, how is it going to affect it going affect my life? how is it going to us? our i'll to affect us? our view is i'll listen as low as what should they happy about it what i'm they be happy about it what i'm not hearing them in the constituency. i we make boeing seats aircraft seats for seats we make aircraft seats for private around the world private jets around the world and be able to export and we will be able to export those into marketplaces and 99% of goods direct trade so yeah less friction over trade and less friction over trade and less bureaucracy as so it will mean there'll be more jobs in. they're not going to go to any constituency, point to benefits of free trade through this partnership agreement. again, i can hear people clamouring now saying well we have trade agreements with nine of these 11 countries so what's the benefit

them within this this is a better trade agreement goods included it's inclusive across the board so you're looking at a different set of situations for australia and new zealand or new trade going through . there's a trade going through. there's a single set of rules effectively to follow making trades, lower friction , bureaucracy. this is friction, bureaucracy. this is what we always about doing as politicians . we're actually politicians. we're actually getting to deliver it now and this is just a starting point. the department for international trade and the kemi badenoch is absolutely superb. secretary of state is pushing through more and more deep trade deals that will have a major on the uk economy going it's not going to revolutionise the world next month this month but it will going down after year and put great britain at the heart of a global rather than narrow. if economy. james thank you very much. as i've changed your diary

is conservative mp for rochford and southend east. he was just talking about that so good news it would appear anyway for everyone frankly anyway now so a huge story coming out of the united states. donald trump said that he's completely innocent after became first former after he became the first former president face criminal president to face criminal charges. was indicted , a charges. trump was indicted, a grand jury in manhattan last night . the revolves night. and the case revolves around a payment of around £105,000 made to adult film star stormy daniels in 2016. daniels says that she had an affair with trump not based or even that she had an affair with. he's expected to appear in court in new york early next week. he denies everything. of course, he's just me now is us he's just joining me now is us political is eric hamm. political analyst is eric hamm. eric, great to on the show. eric, great to have on the show. so donald trump supporters are saying that is a complete saying that this is a complete witch and it actually witch hunt and it actually possibly pave the way him re—entering the white house. is there to that ? no, it most there any to that? no, it most certainly pave the way for him to possibly be the republican nominee. but as far as actually

winning the white house, no, it will not look , donald trump will not look, donald trump walked down those gilded stairs back 2016 and after winning the white house, he lost in 2020. his party lost, also the house and the senate in 2020. they were failed to pick up the house or the senate. i'm sorry. they picked up the house in 2022, but the wave many thought was coming is certainly did not happen. donald trump since being the titular head of the party, actually seen the party lose gains since then . and so what gains since then. and so what we're seeing now, even though many people won't say it publicly , is that it is time to publicly, is that it is time to move on from donald trump, which is why you see many people clamouring and hoping that florida ron desantis florida governor ron desantis actually gets in this race . actually gets in this race. yeah, indeed. look, i don't to go too down the old massive tinfoil hat conspiracy theories or anything. but some people are saying this actually might be quite good because if it does that, donald trump gets the republican nomination and he goes probably goes ahead, he's probably got less winning ron

less chance winning than ron desantis. depending on which desantis. so depending on which way be way you dress up, it might be a good thing for the democrats. oh, absolutely it is. in fact, right now , donald trump, even right now, donald trump, even with this indicted in the spectre of more to come , is spectre of more to come, is clearly now the front of the republican field , head and republican field, head and shoulders. above all them. he's already raising a lot money as a result of this. and donald trump, unlike any other potential nominee, no . how to potential nominee, no. how to maximise press outreach and engagement. and he's using indictment to maximum and he is using it to portray himself as the victim and it's working his numbers rising. ron desantis , numbers rising. ron desantis, his closest competitor, his numbers are . look, i've got to numbers are. look, i've got to assess and i have i want to ask this donald trump has been they've been throwing a lot of stuff for a very period of time those all the russia allegations or the uneasy from all of those things. and then it it does look a little bit from the outside

now like they're desperate to guess him on what may end we'll have to wait and see exactly what these charges are levelled at him on tuesday is believed to be but it may be it may be somewhat of a technicality because payment because the actual payment itself deemed to be itself was not deemed to be illegal. maybe the way they dress that up in of his dress that up in terms of his business and all of that business funding and all of that stuff. denies wrongdoing. stuff. he denies wrongdoing. and then got joe biden's it then you've got joe biden's it in the white house at the moment who there are a lot question marks over joe who there are a lot question marks overjoe biden's past aren't really in his aren't there really in his potential involvements in a variety different and variety of different and certainly son etc. i mean is certainly his son etc. i mean is it just paul kettle black when it just paul kettle black when it comes to big figures in us. politics at the moment ? well, politics at the moment? well, i know who the party is and i don't know who the is in your story. and as far as the allegations , joe biden, i don't allegations, joe biden, i don't know what you're referring to. what means. but what we know about , donald trump, what means. but what we know about, donald trump, is that these these allegations and these these allegations and these investigations against him are very much real. and i think

some of have the potential to stick even if they don't. the spectre of an indictment, the spectre of an indictment, the spectre of an indictment, the spectre of potential going to prison is enough actually sway those all important independent voters to move away from the republican party and move towards the democrat . is it towards the democrat. is it politically motivated ? alvin politically motivated? alvin brock, who is manhattan district attorney investigating ? dawn so attorney investigating? dawn so i had a guest on earlier, sebastian gorka, who's got skin in the game because he's a close of donald trump and worked with him, etc. so it's important to make that clear. but he is saying alvin brock has a history of being very closely aligned , of being very closely aligned, the democrats and potentially even having received some funding from them etc. i mean, is this a bit politically motivated ? well, you know, motivated? well, you know, that's the argument that on the right are making right now, that this is politically motive aided. and i don't know how it's politically motivated. and i know what role that alvin bragg would play. and here's way to look at this. if this is

politically motivated, if, in fact , the fulton county brings fact, the fulton county brings charges, is that politically motivated? if the special counsel jack smith brings charges? is politically motivated ? and so how is it that motivated? and so how is it that all of these people are seeing charges against donald trump right now? there are 23 cases, both criminal and against donald trump. are they all politically motivated ? and quite frankly, motivated? and quite frankly, why they be politically motivated ? we see donald trump motivated? we see donald trump simply cannot win . well, i mean, simply cannot win. well, i mean, obviously donald trump would dispute that. and i think people could see the logical argument as to why it might be politically motivated. but i understand you're saying. understand what you're saying. you concerned that there you concerned at all that there could civil unrest. his last could be civil unrest. his last question is, are you concerned that it be some unrest as that it could be some unrest as a of this because trump a result of this because trump has a fanatical base? he has got a fanatical base? he certainly but we also know certainly does. but we also know that the new york police department is more than 40,000 strong. they certainly how to deal with rioting and violence

in the street. and they are unlike january six. they are they are prepared for this moment . and also, too, no one moment. and also, too, no one knows how to do crowd control policing better in of how that and why does it then either the secret service or the fbi and we know the secret service is going to be taking the lead considering that it's a former president that's involved in a potential arraignment and indictment. okay. well, we'll have our eyes and ears have to keep our eyes and ears pale the latest developments pale for the latest developments on right. great to chat. on this. right. great to chat. thank much. you guys. thank you very much. you guys. political analyst eric down again stateside . so trump again from stateside. so trump was by some of his was backed by some of his biggest allies within just a few minutes of the news breaking but gets florida has been gets to florida has been relentless in the defence of the former president tweeted this he said donald trump said president donald trump always the always fought for he puts the american above corrupt american people above corrupt interests reason the interests for that reason the powerful never stop coming powerful will never stop coming for him. majority of americans for him. a majority of americans now alvin briggs touts the prosecutor i was alluding to before, which is a politically motivated prosecution. i

continue stand with president trump as he always stood with us and is over the georgians . now, and is over the georgians. now, congresswoman marjorie taylor greene, another key ally let loose. she says president trump is innocent , all in capital is innocent, all in capital letters that really means it, but not everyone isn't happy with the news because trump's own niece again, it's important to say there well, to say this history there is supposedly mildly they do not get on mary trump posted long tweet which includes the words for the victims of donald. this is finally some of justice. it's been a time coming but been a long time coming but after donald put after everything donald has put this country through, we have prevailed. looks as prevailed. and it looks as though daniels is already though stormy daniels is already making money. this this is the what's the politically correct term actress, adult film star. thank you very much. my producer appears . to be very quick on appears. to be very quick on that one, though, i wonder why stormy daniels is already making money from night's news. apparently, she . thank you to apparently, she. thank you to everyone for your support and love. i have so many messages coming in that i can't. and this is this is good. she said she

gb news. welcome back, everybody . the welcome back, everybody. the king and queen consort are about to leave germany after the monarch's first state visit. the trip has been widely seen as a massive success, although it's fair to say the build up didn't

go too smoothly. so the king had been due to travel to france last sunday, but the violent protests the country led to that trip postponed once trip being postponed once considering well. were considering as well. there were fires and bordeaux. considering as well. there were fires and bordeaux . the fires in paris and bordeaux. the state visit to germany, though, went and the king and went as planned and the king and queen consort arrived in berlin on the royal policy within dnven on the royal policy within driven to the brandenburg in the centre of berlin, where they were greeted by the german president, francois walter steinmeier and the king got his hands dirty as well, and he planted a tree in memory of queen elizabeth. second, which is a lovely touches and say that go and wednesday evening the go and on wednesday evening the royal a state royal attended a state banquet in berlin there was a bit of in berlin and there was a bit of red carpet treatment there all dressed the nines. it's dressed up to the nines. it's lovely and next day, lovely stuff. and the next day, king history when king charles made history when he the first he became the first british monarch address the german monarch to address the german parliament, the united kingdom monarch to address the german parlgermany�*ne united kingdom monarch to address the german parl germany arelnited kingdom monarch to address the german parl germany are together gdom and germany are together providing leadership to secure our shared future today . the our shared future today. the united kingdom and germany are europe's two largest producers of power . offshore wind . these

of power. offshore wind. these innovations are vital in combating the existential of climate change and. global warming, which confronts us . all warming, which confronts us. all well, there we go. the state visit continued today in hamburg, where the king queen consort sign the golden book in the empress hall and the royal couple rounded off their trip by attending a celebratory reception . a local band played reception. a local band played a traditional sea shanty which be pleased to hear we will not be playing for you. so there you go . let's go now to hamburg and we're going to join our royal report to cameron walker, who's got the latest as we wait for king charles and queen to camilla finally depart. cameron, what's on? absolutely. patrick i mean, it's been a very on three day state visit to . germany, of day state visit to. germany, of course, it's the first state visit of new reign, the first state first foreign trip abroad

for. the king as monarch . and i for. the king as monarch. and i think on the whole, looking back at the whole trip, it's been a pretty big success, to be honest, both the british and german have happily praised the king's been on the front pages of a number of german newspapers , both yesterday and today, following his speech in the bundestag in berlin yesterday, the german german parliament's the german german parliament's the first british sovereign ever to . so it went down a storm with to. so it went down a storm with local politicians there he got standing ovation at the end and then when he came to hamburg today, of course, had these, let's say, sombre and reconciliation and engagements this morning involving the kindertransport memorial and saint nicholas church , heavily saint nicholas church, heavily bombed during world war ii. and him and the german laid a wreath at that church . but then when he at that church. but then when he came here as where i was, the hamburg city hall, came here as where i was, the hamburg city hall , there were hamburg city hall, there were thousands of ordinary german citizens here to come out, to cheer it for charles and queen

life , did endanger life, not life, did endanger life, not least their own. it must be said as well. another individual who has guilty was found has been found guilty was found in car nearby with a just stop in a car nearby with a just stop oil banner. that is there oil banner. so that is why there are them in total. i am are six of them in total. i am joined by eddie, who is a joined now by eddie, who is a spokesperson for just stop oil . spokesperson for just stop oil. eddie, great stuff. how are you 7 eddie, great stuff. how are you ? i'm well . eddie, great stuff. how are you ? i'm well. nice eddie, great stuff. how are you ? i'm well . nice to eddie, great stuff. how are you ? i'm well. nice to see you again. good. yes good to see you again. good. yes good to see you again. thanks for coming back. so we are awaiting the verdict when it comes to sentencing. now for these individuals. we work happy to had it now, but we happy to have had it now, but we haven't. do you expect them haven't. so do you expect them to prison ? well don't to go to prison? well don't know. i mean, obviously, i had the worst happens is that they get suspended sentence , get suspended sentence, suspended sentences. but really. i think what we need to be talking about is, why did four young people, a mother of four and former health and safety and a former health and safety officer, compelled this officer, feel compelled do this in place and? you in the first place and? you know, i get that side things i'm wondering about the prospects of and things like that afterwards. i mean , got a criminal record

i mean, got a criminal record now. i know a lot people in just a will day was the result the protest is that something that bothers . patrick, you had me on bothers. patrick, you had me on last week . i said, i've told you last week. i said, i've told you this already , but, you know, one this already, but, you know, one and a half degrees of warming is now locked in. two degrees of warming if we over warming is likely. if we go over two could two degrees, we could destabilise global civilisation . employment . so i think employment prospects are the least of my worries at the moment. i'm just going go back . i've going to go back. i've got a list here things from as far list here of things from as far back as 1967, new ice coming by 2020. we've got the maldives will be completely underwater by 2018. i was there last year actually is lovely only 500 days before climate chaos that was in 2014. oil gone in ten years. that was in 1966. why should we believe you now ? well, i'm not believe you now? well, i'm not asking you to believe me. i'm asking you to believe me. i'm asking you to believe me. i'm asking you to believe the ipcc who say that if we don't take emergency action. then we risk any any chance . believable any any chance. believable future is gone. yeah what's the difference between the experts

that saying this now and the experts who were saying that we'd all be dead? 30 years ago when we didn't have supercomputers back then. so supercomputers back then. so supercomputer teams have changed the game. have they massively it comes not to reach the point is the research has come light. yes you know each publication you know with each publication it scarier and scarier so it gets scarier and scarier so you can cherry pick example tales from the past you can tales from the past or you can focus you know what, over focus on, you know what, over 11,000 scientists saying , 11,000 scientists are saying, because the ipcc is. because that's what the ipcc is. it's of, 11,000 it's made up of, 11,000 scientists who are not page they review all the peer reviewed pubuc review all the peer reviewed public actions that have come out are saying if we do out and they are saying if we do not emergency action. we're not take emergency action. we're doomed. there's lots of doomed. so if there's lots of day given prison sentences , day are given prison sentences, you know, it's like britain where point they seem to where at one point they seem to stop now without deter someone like yourself from civil disobedience . so i you disobedience protest. so i you just repeat the question, patrick. if the people today, the six people who are awaiting sentencing get sent to prison. will that deter you from future action ? no no, not at all. action? no no, not at all. i mean, i've been to prison before

and, you know, prison was not nice, but it's absolutely nothing compared with what we're facing. if we go over one and a half or two degrees of warming. can i what what do you do for work? i'm a full time. oh, okay. alright so are you. if got a student loan . i do, yes . okay. student loan. i do, yes. okay. alright. i'm just wondering because it seems like taxpayers . maybe you're paying for your education and then paying for it. obviously we've had in water when you were in prison and then coming out, we might to pay for you in the long run, because i don't know how easy it might be to get a job with a criminal record. yeah. can we just bring this back to the main issue, which is that we're facing the greatest crisis humanity is ever facing about, facing it. we're talking about, you few protesters and you know, a few protesters and tax payers money at, you know, a bit about people who were involved with the protesting potentially roads and, potentially blocking roads and, you leading and helping to you know, leading and helping to drive are like drive as well that are like spoke about yesterday potentially. can it just some of

the poorest people society the poorest people in society we're seeing people who are we're seeing the people who are going clobbered ulez going to get clobbered ulez charges, going to charges, people who are going to have to pay heat pumps in their homes, etc, by electric cars. a lot. the it impacting lot. the time it is impacting the poorest in society the poorest people in society and. i'm just wondering if you have much of regard for those have much of a regard for those people, given actions people, given some your actions 7 people, given some your actions ? yeah, of course. and i would love would love to have cheaper pubuc love would love to have cheaper public transport in this country. i love for the country. i would love for the government insulate our government to insulate our homes. love we, you homes. i would love if we, you know, a rollout of know, a mass rollout of renewable incidentally, renewable energy, incidentally, is cheaper. the new is nine times cheaper. the new fossil so. yes, fossil fuels. so. yes, absolutely. the point is, if absolutely. but the point is, if we do not if the does not do the right thing and commit to ending the fossil licences , as the fossil fuel licences, as i say, we do not have a liveable future and i don't know how many times need keep repeating times we need to keep repeating this. alright, so there's a this. alright, so there's been a new come out to new report as that's come out to say we do more to say that we could do more to meet the results of climate change, not all about change, not just all about prevention having prevention and, you know, having drastic impacts people's day drastic impacts, people's day to day have said a lot day lives. as i have said a lot of people often at the lower end of people often at the lower end of the income sector as well,

but actually maybe do more to build like sea defences build things like sea defences and that would you be in and stuff that would you be in favour the favour of that or just the mitigation of things? well, mitigation side of things? well, we've left so we've left it so late that we're going to need both. we need both. obviously, we need to mitigate, we will mitigate, but obviously we will need as. well, if need to adapt as. well, if that's you're asking. yeah. that's what you're asking. yeah. okay. just okay. all right. so i'm just whether not, you know, you whether or not, you know, you feel as though we should be spending much money spending how much money is the thing know from you? thing i want to know from you? how much money should we be spending when it comes to stopping because do stopping this? because if we do want stop oil i think want to just stop oil i think that mean we essentially that might mean we essentially bankrupt ourselves and people might various things might die from various things like because like famine, etc. because obviously of various obviously the use of various different actually different fuels has actually helped a of helped to elevate a lot of people out poverty and people out of poverty and increase production, stuff increase food production, stuff like is it a of like that. so is it a bit of a hard balancing act for you that? well there's a sort of hidden there's a hidden detail to your question, which is know, oh, it's how can we possibly afford to world? you so not a to save the world? you so not a lot of people know this but you know, in world war two, i don't know, in world war two, i don't know what the figures the know what the figures after the uk in the united states the uk but in the united states the united spent

united states government spent more the years 1942 and more money. the years 1942 and 1945 than it had done in real terms in the past 150 years. and that was from the threat of the axis powers. so we can't say it's too expensive to save the world. right. i hope that we can agree on that. okay. right. i've just to have one with just got to have one more with you, that's all right. i you you, if that's all right. i you feel like you've your point feel like you've made your point there know, views on there about, you know, views on there about, you know, views on the changes, the climate changes, that drought and this stuff drought and all of this stuff and i am just keen to know what what do you want to do after after university? your after university? what's your your what what your big ambition? what what kind work to go kind of line of work got to go into ? my dream is to be a into? my dream is to be a writer, but any vocation , any writer, but any vocation, any dream is looking precarious. if we don't sort out the climate crisis. so you genuinely so fearful that the world is going to end within lifetime, that you don't care particularly about future employment prospects or anything that you are just so convinced that you're to see the end of the world world? well, i already have that. i won't be

having children because can't guarantee that that will be a habitable planet for them to grow up into. is that a difficult decision for you? i mean, that's quite a bold decision to make, isn't it ? decision to make, isn't it? well, i think it's the choice, given the circumstances that we're facing morally . you think we're facing morally. you think it would be wrong to bring more children into this world if we don't sort out the climate crisis? okay. alright there you 90, crisis? okay. alright there you go, eddie. thank you very much. a study that is a spokesperson for just stop oil now , so forjust stop oil now, so i might take our citizen . right. might take our citizen. right. so we obviously await the of that particular case. what to make, not just when gb views at gb news uk make so moving off did you know that tomatoes scream when that cut believe it or not yes . scream when that cut believe it or not yes. never scream when that cut believe it or not yes . never say that you or not yes. never say that you never learn something new when you watch this show on patrick christys. and this

gb news.

okay welcome back, everybody. now rishi sunak has ordered an independent inquiry into sex education at school, citing concerns the inquest comes after the publication of a bombshell policy exchange report. and it said that many schools could be violating their safeguard commitments by failing to report , changing or questioning their genden , changing or questioning their gender. with me now is lucy marshall on the family education trust . so, lucy, thank you very trust. so, lucy, thank you very much for joining trust. so, lucy, thank you very much forjoining us again. it is an important update, which is obviously why we wanted to revisit it you, sir. how do revisit it with you, sir. how do you about because the you feel about this? because the last we spoke, it was last time that we spoke, it was looking pretty bleak, think looking pretty bleak, i think for frankly just for parents who frankly just wanted to be informed if their child is said to their schoolmasters that they wanted live gender. so live as a different gender. so is of a win . not not is a bit of a win. not not particularly a win at the moment where obviously we cautiously welcome this this review . welcome this this review. however, we do have some serious concerns about the independence of this review . so the

of this review. so the department education the messaging has changed quite a bit over . so messaging has changed quite a bit over. so initially we messaging has changed quite a bit over . so initially we knew bit over. so initially we knew that there was a department for education. the prime minister rishi sunak has now announced that this review is going to be independent because he's concerned about it . gillian concerned about it. gillian keegan being too soft perhaps on what's. so, so it's been announced that that's panel of independent experts is going to take over from the work department for education has already been doing. and the messaging has changed on on on the dft website , an independent the dft website, an independent panel to now that it's an expert panel to now that it's an expert panel and that a education group called national is going to be producing new materials in conjunction with the materials already exist. so the problem with that is the is the national the chapter of trustees of the board of a national is in balcombe is the original adviser that the department for education use to introduce

compulsory rca in the first place. so we learned that this is going to rehashing the same material and we need to know how these independent and independent panel experts is going to be chosen and are really independent would be all question well, that'll be the thing. and i think some would say it's a bit of a step in the right direction. and look, i apologise for how short and sweet just wanted to sweet this was. i just wanted to get up for update, get get you up for an update, get your because i know that your take, because i know that we spoke yesterday about this story and it was a really big one this is thank one for us. yes. this is thank you very much and have been holding the line for for a holding on the line for us for a while. but was just great to while. but i was just great to get views it again. get your views on it again. thank you, lizzie. lucy mar there the family education there from the family education trust just to follow trust just to a follow up, there's be some of there's going to be some kind of independent report into the fact that sacked children basically independent report into the fact thétoacked children basically independent report into the fact thétoacked (and ren basically independent report into the fact théto tacked (and ren basthaty go to school and decide that they change gender. and they want to change gender. and they want to change gender. and the won't be told so the parents won't be told so that are a new study. that we are now a new study. well, moving on, people, a new study from research in israel has revealed tomato scream has revealed that tomato scream when stems when that picks from their stems so they airborne sounds

so they emit airborne sounds similar a bubble wrap being similar to a bubble wrap being popped similar to a bubble wrap being popped detectable from popped that is detectable from more away and more than three feet away and can by animals. so what can be heard by animals. so what does for the plant does this mean for the plant based and their insistence based crowd and their insistence on with me on ethically eating? with me now, to say, it's now, i'm very to say, is it's another they get better at their one says he goes by earthling and vegan activist. how are and is a vegan activist. how are you? well, patrick, are you? i'm very well, patrick, are you? i'm very well, patrick, are you? okay. so can you talk me through we check. through this now? we did check. i did check earlier whether or not was going to offend you. not it was going to offend you. if some tomatoes in if we have some tomatoes in front you. i did them front of you. and if i did them from their stem, you said no. yeah. thing is, we yeah. well, the thing is, we kind of misrepresented the report a little bit, which isn't cited even as the cited in the report even as the word or sentience, word pain or sentience, suffering. really, we suffering. really, all we discovered will discovered was that plants will release certain popping sounds due to what they believe is cavity action, which is basically releasing of gas basically the releasing of gas so much bacteria. also emit so much like bacteria. also emit frequencies, plants frequencies, so do plants well, but doesn't they but it doesn't mean that they suffer they don't really suffer off so. they don't really feel pain, i feel pain, because i think that's one of the things that a lot of people concerned about. now, for people who not wanting lot of people concerned about. now, fmeatyple who not wanting lot of people concerned about. now, fmeat fore who not wanting lot of people concerned about. now, fmeat for ethical)t wanting lot of people concerned about. now, fmeat for ethical reasons,g to eat meat for ethical reasons, there are occasional pulls there are these occasional pulls that up about that seem to pop up about potentially, you know, plants be

able each able to communicate with each other things, etc. other or feel things, etc. what's your that do what's your view on that and do you think plants can feel you think that plants can feel things? know, they do things? you know, they do a subjective experience is what sentience is what you subjective experience is what sentlence is what you subjective experience is what senti have. is what you subjective experience is what senti have. indeed,is what you subjective experience is what senti have. indeed, animals'ou subjective experience is what senti have. indeed, animals have and i have. indeed, animals have as intelligence, of as well. their intelligence, of course, of bacteria and course, bits of bacteria and viruses. also viruses. they're also intelligent . if i intelligent. but if what i always say to people is if are genuinely concerned about plants, let's say you think plants, let's say that you think hang minute. there's some hang on a minute. there's some good suffer. good evidence plants suffer. well, the plants well, the majority the plants that we're growing in the uk are being this animal feed being used this animal feed anyway. a vegan anyway. so even as a vegan myself, i'm actually reducing animal suffering by animal and plant suffering by adopting diet at adopting a plant based diet at the okay mean that the same time. okay mean that is fascinating. were fascinating. can ask what were the reasons for you the main reasons for you becoming that presumably becoming a vegan that presumably animal yeah animal suffering was. yeah i mean question ask myself mean the question i ask myself is can live in a way that is if i can live in a way that reduces suffering, why wouldn't is if i can live in a way that reyands suffering, why wouldn't is if i can live in a way that reyand isuffering, why wouldn't is if i can live in a way that reyand i guessng, why wouldn't is if i can live in a way that reyand i guess that'sy wouldn't is if i can live in a way that reyand i guess that's maybein't i? and i guess that's maybe a question i could ask you if you could live in a way that reduces animal, why wouldn't i'd animal, why wouldn't you? i'd love so do you think love me. yeah. so do you think that something that enjoyment of something justifies harm to justifies causing harm to animals? i think it's. it's often really i also often really because i also look, my perspective look, from my perspective i get that massive hypocrite. that i'm a massive hypocrite. i don't saying this because

don't mind saying this because i would kill a cow but would not want to kill a cow but you would not want to kill a cow but you pay would not want to kill a cow but you pay someone to do but i pay someone to do on my behalf someone to do it on my behalf i regularly order in a restaurant . think whether i had beef . so i think whether i had beef last night, i don't think i last night but i would it right night but i would eat it right all the time. do you morally justify then? either think justify then? i either think about or justify it on about it. yeah. or justify it on the grounds doing it i the grounds that me doing it i don't think would impact don't think would any impact whatsoever. everyone whatsoever. what if everyone says though? what changes says that though? what changes then well, everyone does it, then? well, if everyone does it, then? well, if everyone does it, then will stop say, look, then will stop and say, look, they're going all die. they're not going all die. so a lot of people already are. and if we want to create a world which is more ethical and reduces suffering as far reduces animal suffering as far is possible, shift to is possible, then a shift to veganism the i guess if veganism is the i guess if people want it, to speak, people want it, so to speak, you know, everyone vegan and know, if everyone was vegan and no would die as a no fear, animals would die as a result. assumption, no fear, animals would die as a result that assumption, no fear, animals would die as a result that would ssumption, no fear, animals would die as a result that would ssua ption, no fear, animals would die as a result that would ssua good yeah, that would be a good thing, right? think thing, right? i think potentially it would be a good thing i would say thing but i would i would say that i think that there are a lot of nutritional benefits when it comes to genuine meat. it comes to eating genuine meat. and people say that and i know that people say that that replicated plant that can be replicated in plant based nutrients are based diets. which nutrients are you to? well, i just

you referring to? well, i just think there's lots of proteins etc. on and i would be etc. on there. and i would be intrigued to about early, intrigued to know about early, early development. so is early years development. so is one i could probably one thing that i could probably do bit more about do with knowing a bit more about when what babies , when it comes to what babies, young adults, etc. and toddlers and things like that, you know, is it any more unhealthy for them to not any meat. so if they would just read as vegans or vegetarians example would that have any issue when it came to the animal products even things like milk for calcium and all that stuff going. so let me throw it. well, i mean, nutrients are important for everyone every stage of life. and important question is and the important question is whether everyone can whether not everyone can get those proteins those nutrients, proteins are classic more classic one. you get more than enough protein that enough protein in plants that supported by the british dietetic association, the nhs , dietetic association, the nhs, the dietetic the american dietetic association the association and even on the point kids , when at point of kids, when you look at the of evidence and the body of evidence and you look the dietetic look at the dietetic associations the world, look at the dietetic associare ns the world, look at the dietetic associare basically the world, look at the dietetic associare basically thee world, these are basically the associations the of associations where the all of the nutrition dietitian are the nutrition and dietitian are involved them. they point to involved in them. they point to the fact a well—planned, plant based healthy for every based diet is healthy for every one leading children. one of the leading children. yeah, well it gets wheeled out

yeah, well, it gets wheeled out every now and again. so i think avocados often as avocados are often used as example. anywhere. example. they sell anywhere. they when by the time they say, well, when by the time that avocados that you've grown avocados or you've for various you've made for various different plantation and you might to reduce what might have had to reduce what was growing in was originally growing there in some south american country or something shipped over something and then shipped over here add it up, here when you add it all up, it's worse the it's been worse in the environment than if i just killed ate but killed a pig and ate it. but that's incorrect. in pigs in the uk if they had soy as well as other types feed the biggest driver of deforest ation, the two of two biggest drivers of deforestation south america cattle and cattle farming, the beef and leather soybeans. well leather and also soybeans. well which vast which the majority the vast majority south america 96% majority from south america 96% in fact fed to animals in this country. we are very sorry just very quick so been persistent but how would you would you. oh are we don't have time. oh, we are. so i've got to go otherwise i booted i'm very, very i got booted off. i'm very, very sorry about this, but i would have to get you back on. thank you very much. so much appreciate. welcome and appreciate. welcome and appreciate the appreciate you coming into the studio. okay. fantastic studio. right. okay. fantastic i enjoyed winter's enjoyed that ad. winter's the he by is a activist. by earthling ad is a activist. right. got loads more right. i've got loads more

combined the very attractive business taxes that we introduced in the budget , £9 introduced in the budget, £9 billion cut in corporation tax . billion cut in corporation tax. that will mean that the uk opportunity has very the uk economy has very long term growth opportunities . however, growth opportunities. however, critics say impact will be limited, with official estimates suggesting the deal will boost the economy by just 0.08. and the economy by just 0.08. and the labour leader, sir keir starmer says it won't help the economy . welcome, of course, but economy. welcome, of course, but recognise the proportion that it actually impacts on our economy . what we need alongside that is a closer trading relationship with the eu businesses across the country are crying out for a better deal of the world the government has put in front of them oscar pistorius will not be released early from his jail sentence for killing reeva steenkamp. the former being denied parole . he's halfway denied parole. he's halfway through a 13 year sentence for shooting his girlfriend at their home in south africa on valentine's day in 2013. ahead

political prosecution being affected by. a manhattan d.a. who literally campaigned on bringing charges against. one particular american and i must tell you that that should be offensive to every american left, right centre, every american equal treatment under the a man and a woman arrested following a double in cambridgeshire have been released with further action. the two victims named locally as , gary dunmore, the 57 year old and his 32 year old son, josh died on wednesday, a place where investigating whether the shootings separate properties in sutton and blunt basham were unked sutton and blunt basham were linked to a custody battle. a third man remains in custody custody . two teenagers have been custody. two teenagers have been arrested in connection with the death of an elderly woman in suffolk. officers were called to a house pakefield at 2 pm. on saturday after reports 82 year

post—brexit president. it which is the uk has been accepted an indo—pacific trade bloc with the government saying that it's achieved biggest trade deal since we left the eu . so great since we left the eu. so great news for great britain trade secretary kemi badenoch has that the ascension to the comprehensive progressive agreement for trans—pacific partnership. i mean it's a snappy title people? it's a snappy title people? it's a snappy title. it's about the potential for growth tomorrow with the bloc containing other trading nations. now just have a quick look at some of the key facts about this deal. right. so a bit of context. so there are 11 countries in this trade bloc. those include like australia, japan and canada put together those nations economies represent 13% of the world's total gross domestic product. and the deal gives britain access to countries with a combined population of more than 500 million people. so there we go. it sounds pretty good, doesn't it? the members of the bloc are required to drop more than 95% of their tariffs on trade, but believe it or not,

this hasn't been good news for upsetting everybody. a lot of are still saying, well, it would only contribute something like 0.08% to all gdp over the course of the next ten years. it's nothing what we lost when we left the european. so there we go. i decided , well, it's go. i decided, well, it's certainly time we had a debate . certainly time we had a debate. this, with me now this, isn't it? so with me now is sun sharma, who's the is sun alok sharma, who's the chief officer, chief operating officer, conservative friends the conservative friends of the commonwealth, is commonwealth, and john fouche is the for the northern coordinator for the rejoin eu policy. good stuff rejoin eu policy. so good stuff chaps. rejoin eu policy. so good stuff chaps . okay, look, now i will chaps. okay, look, so now i will start with you and i mean most people happy about this, but some people are saying, well, look, there isn't a massive economic benefit to this deal. the obvious i is a massive economic benefit of this deal. and it's not clear today. i think it is quite clear in some ways it's a bit more the long term potential. so you look for at example the european union's growth forecast for this year , growth forecast for this year, it's around 0.8. you look at vietnam , which is more than 6.8. vietnam, which is more than 6.8.

malaysia more than 4. we're joining bloc of countries that are some of the fastest growing emerging economies in the world. so to be a part of that is nothing but beneficial. so whilst today the benefit may be a certain figure, you can almost guarantee that benefit over the four or five years will be substantially more because these are fast growing economies , are fast growing economies, unlike union where unlike the european union where their countries growing their countries are not growing are nowhere near the same speed. okay, john how do you respond to that the that is now that then? the idea that is now shackled itself winners shackled itself, the winners of the future and not the losers of tomorrow in this have to say , tomorrow in this have to say, you know, sovereignty is a myth . it is the power of the sovereign over us. it's not actually anything that anybody can or do anything with . so, can or do anything with. so, yes, making a trade deal with other people. but let's remember, this is. other people. but let's remember, this is . only two new remember, this is. only two new countries is brunei, malaysia , countries is brunei, malaysia, malaysia, mate, cars, whatever they make, they export oil. that's it. you know it's going to it's going to massively help malaysia exporting things like

you know palm oil to us and most of these countries are countries with low wages in us peru, chile, brunei they're all all low wage countries . so i don't low wage countries. so i don't see quite how that helps now singapore is in there. oh yeah, great. that's where dyson moved to and took for fashion uk jobs with him even they supported brexit great wonderful as we said before you know it's only .8.0 8% of uk gdp. we lost 50 times more by leaving the eu that's 4% of our gdp, not zero eight. okay so that starts the case against it. eight. okay so that starts the case against it . they'll just case against it. they'll just come back. i'm not that well . if come back. i'm not that well. if you look at what the cpp fee bnngsin you look at what the cpp fee brings in terms of changes into the general economy. so if you look at the economy versus last year or versus the european union , very clear the economy is union, very clear the economy is going in a very different place. we're going to focus on many different areas. the data flows , but they're looking to bring in is a massive part is the

number one commodity in the world only going world right now. it's only going to this now allows to go more. this deal now allows for integration of for much greater integration of data you then look at the data flows. you then look at the general changes they're general changes that they're making at the fact that this making you at the fact that this is much more flexible, is a much more flexible, fluid system comparison to the system in comparison to the european union trade deal that we restrictive for us we this isn't restrictive for us now do deals with other countries . there are so many countries. there are so many more economic benefits to this. but i'll add another caveat to this as well. we're also joining a that turned china and a bloc that turned china and where we have countries that are quite clearly situated in the far east, are very close to china. the fact that we are now going to be decoupling away from china, which is the right move as seen with covid and stuff. and the fact that we're there first and on there is a first and then on there is a much great thing for our national these national security. these countries to countries are also vulnerable to . russian . the fact of russian interference and so the fact that as a western like as powerful as united kingdom powerful as the united kingdom is a much greater power is having a much greater power play is having a much greater power play the asia pacific region play in the asia pacific region is only beneficial. i just wanted to john, when you couple with things like the orcas deal,

etc. and we were told britain is standing on the world stage post will be was that john what doing i the absolute the microscopic that's what this deal is it doesn't mean anything over a second i wonder what you're talking about that because i've said that before but australia, brunei, canada, chile , japan, brunei, canada, chile, japan, malaysia, mexico , zealand, peru, malaysia, mexico, zealand, peru, singapore and vietnam clearly do not feel as though are standing on the world stage has been significantly diminished. john and i mean, is this bad news for naysayers like you? you've just remember how they negotiated hated this light. they negotiated the and the new zealand deal which do absolutely not thing for the uk they massively new zealand and australia . now you've added two australia. now you've added two more countries which didn't have a trade deal. so yeah, we'll be but you know they are countries at a massively good at exporting their countries you know really low wages . so what's it going to low wages. so what's it going to do. this deal is going to massively increase uk import

ports not exports massively increase our imports and thus drive wages down because people won't have jobs , they'll be able won't have jobs, they'll be able to compete . you know, to me it's to compete. you know, to me it's horrendous it's got an extra piece which i think this endangers the brand new windsor agreement on long island we've already got a massive problem in the uk with fake that pork that's just been reported a beef that's just been reported a beef that was done before with horsemeat in and stuff like that we do not control our imports the border guards were turned into controlling people rather than goods for a few days a few months ago. how is that going to help. so if risk tainting the single market in southern ireland because we're importing goods maybe rebadging them in the uk to export them as uk made when they're not, which is what's happening. it's because destroy that deal . i just love destroy that deal. i just love old boxes that sort of go , yeah, old boxes that sort of go, yeah, well, i mean, i think you i was

just what you're saying about this block of countries australia new zealand, japan, canada, these are canada, mexico these are substantial economies to talk about japan and say agreeing a trade deal isn't powerful incredible thing is condescending. this is one of the fastest economies in the world one the strongest economies in the world, one of the most forward thinking economies , the world. we're economies, the world. we're building ties to a building closer ties to a country that pretty much borders, a country that we're trying to decouple from is trying to decouple away from is nothing but beneficial. go nothing but beneficial. i'll go back into the import and export argument . it's very clear what argument. it's very clear what this do will allow this deal will do will allow small businesses a medium , to small businesses a medium, to expand into these countries. you're looking at the trade today, you're looking at the trade much small and trade of much are small and medium businesses right now that's without block the whole point of the block is it expand so currently right now it's less because we don't have a trade deal you have a trade deal so therefore we cannot expand into economies easier. you ask small and medium businesses how hard it is for them to grow their businesses outside of uk is

businesses outside of the uk is close to impossible. the fact that we've now created a deal that we've now created a deal that allows 11 allows them to expand 11 different countries expand to 11 different countries is incredible and amazing. and the potential is very limitless and it depends obviously a lot of it depends on how well these countries continue to thrive and continue they do. but all the stats show these 11 countries are fusty and they're moving forward, unlike the european union, where if you look at their economic, they are declining year after know. john, i've to ask you obviously i've got to ask you obviously for our radio listeners now you're wearing at for our radio listeners now you're wearing a t shirt with the on it. there's an eu the flag on it. there's an eu flag behind you have been shaking and being shaking your and being quite dismissive of britain in this deal and the orchestra i think as well. you were calling my you to minuscule earlier on despite the fact that i mean it might literally preserve taiwan and clearly a lot of other countries certainly including france the way didn't think it was minuscule did they. they were so angry when they weren't part minuscule did they. they were so anyi've vhen they weren't part minuscule did they. they were so anyi've got| they weren't part minuscule did they. they were so anyi've got i'vey weren't part minuscule did they. they were so anyi've got i've gotaren't part minuscule did they. they were so anyi've got i've got to n't part minuscule did they. they were so anyi've got i've got to ask part minuscule did they. they were so anyi've got i've got to ask heyt it. i've got i've got to ask hey britain absolutely not i don't

like brexit britain that's a completely different story. brexit britain isn't britain this is not what people normally think. if you look in the in the papers recently there was a survey done where the majority of people support no respect and believe what the eu say and don't at all believe what this government says because this government's told them lie after lie after lie. well but you can do it but you can feel the pain. but to be fair, i mean, i've seen i've seen them. but you can also put reports anyway, because and polls are anyway. i mean, 52% of people back almost wholeheartedly. what the government wants to do with the channel doesn't government wants to do with the channfor doesn't government wants to do with the channfor pretty doesn't government wants to do with the channfor pretty reading doesn't government wants to do with the channfor pretty reading for sn't government wants to do with the channfor pretty reading for you make for pretty reading for you i it. so we can all i imagine does it. so we can all just the things that seem to our individual really just the things that seem to our indivi easily really just the things that seem to our indivi easily what really just the things that seem to our indivi easily what has really just the things that seem to our indivi easily what has gone' just the things that seem to our indivieasily what has gone away quite easily what has gone away but i'll it back do but so i'll it back to you do you think there is just a divide this for the people who voted for are very happy about for brexit are very happy about this people want to just this deal people want to just remain. always remain. the eu will always be inevitable think

inevitable about it. i think vast majority of people will be happy with this deal. as a country, we're expanding into new markets. amazing. new markets. it's amazing. it's great news how far. this goes. no one will be able to tell. no can give you that. we can all pluck figures and. generally we just the pure facts and just look at the pure facts and data. we're part of 11 countries. it's of countries. it's more of a countries. it's more of a countries where we're tied countries where we're not tied down any of political down in any sort of political union flexible, fluid union that we're flexible, fluid deals. there's a reason why so many countries have been queuing up to be part of this process, up to be a part of this process, to the cptpp. and to be part of the cptpp. and there's a reason. it's great news for us. i the only people that will be unhappy with this deal the same people who deal are the same people who cannot accept the referendum result not result from 2016 and are not prepared move on. the only prepared to move on. the only people other than that, even if voted brexit, remain whatever. if best interests if you want the best interests of country, this trade deal of this country, this trade deal is positive . okay. is only positive. okay. all right. both of you, thank right. well both of you, thank you very much. you've got to knock on the head that but it's been chatting seasonal been great chatting seasonal with operating officer with our chief operating officer conservative friends of the commonwealth john foulkes commonwealth and john foulkes who is coordinator for rejoin the we go

the eu policy so that we go that's reaction to that's a reaction to a post—brexit trade deal. one of them very happy, one of them definitely nervous. definitely very nervous. oh, yes. breaking yes. okay some breaking news now. the story we've now. and it's the story we've been covering extensively on this afternoon. this show this afternoon. here we six just up oil we go. six just up oil protesters spared jail for protesters have spared jail for that police in truck invasion that police in a truck invasion which disrupted last year's british grand pay. i'm going to read that again. so just read that again. so six just stop protesters been spared stop oil protesters been spared jail for their part in a truck invasion which disrupted last year's british grand . five of year's british grand. five of them invaded the track during them invaded the track during the race while a sick person was found at a car park with glue, cable ties and a just a spoilt banner when they were convicted last month of causing a public nuisance , they were warned that nuisance, they were warned that they could be jailed , but they could be jailed, but obviously have not been obviously they have not been jailed. so there you go. that's the breaking news. just a poll. the likes of us have been jail on tv is now we'll be able to see the moments itself where they track and were they stormed the track and were dragged okay. so there we dragged off. okay. so there we go you more on go. we will bring you more on this as when we get it, this story as when we get it, a bit more details. so if there

was a judge's summing up, etc, that news has just to us. that news has just come to us. so with and we'll you so bear with and we'll get you a bit more detail on that. now to a huge story coming out of the united states. donald says that he's completely after he's completely innocent after became former became the first former president criminal president to face criminal charges. indicted by charges. trump was indicted by a jury charges. trump was indicted by a jury manhattan night. jury in manhattan last night. the around payments the revolves around a payments of £105,000 made to adult of around £105,000 made to adult film star stormy daniels in 2016. daniels says that she had an affair with trump. he denies of this stuff. he's expected to appearin of this stuff. he's expected to appear in court in new york early next week. with me now , early next week. with me now, the fantastic peggy is the executive assistant to president. was the executive assistant to president reagan. peggy, how are you ? terrific peggy, how are you? terrific thank you, patrick, for having me on. even though this is really a sad and scary day in america. i mean we're looking at the weaponization of government and whether you love or hate donald trump, if you and whether you love or hate donald trump , if you love donald trump, if you love justice, you have to hate what's out york right now. okay out of new york right now. okay so explain me and, our so explain to me and, our viewers and listeners why is

such a concerning thing? because a lot of people looking at it, they might go, wow , if he's they might go, wow, if he's broken the law, then he's just anyone else and he has to face the consequences. what's going on? right. well, we agree. everybody agrees that nobody is above the law, but we don't think that the law should be weaponized. target political opponents. in this opponents. what we see in this particular case is something that statute limitations ran that the statute limitations ran out on long. and so this d.a. bragg who is backed soft on crime, has somehow magically made this from a state misdemeanour. made this from a state misdemeanour . what would be misdemeanour. what would be considered an illegal misdemeanour of a business filing and somehow has magically elevated it to a federal felony and not even any attention to the statute of limitations. so it's a political witch hunt. it's un—american. and donald has warned us all along this is not just about him. it's all of us who stand with him, support him and support the rule of law. and so all this is happening while

in new york. what do we see? we crime running rampant. we see all the same day taking felony criminals and downgrading their sentences to misdemeanours, releasing them on the streets , releasing them on the streets, commit crimes again. so nothing that he's doing is making life safer or better for new yorkers and it certainly is undermining whole system of justice here in the united . okay all right. so the united. okay all right. so what do you expect to see going forward? do you think there'll be widespread protest? because there are concerns, i suppose, especially afterjanuary there are concerns, i suppose, especially after january the sixth, there could be sixth, that there could be issues right . we've seen them issues right. we've seen them consistently go after donald trump and be wrong from the russia hoax to the impeachment to the january to the raid on mar a lago. there's an equal application of justice and lady justice supposed to be blind. she's speaking under a blindfold and tipping the scales depending on whether she's looking at a democrat or a republican. so i do expect that we are going see great unity in the republic and

party surrounding criminal prosecutor who has gone after a man has claimed his innocence. and by the way, stormy signed a letter years ago that she didn't have any part in this either. and so both sides have said there's nothing here. it's just look, it does look weird , peggy. look, it does look weird, peggy. it does look weird. peggy because look, shortly on i'm going to run through some tweets and one of them is by stormy daniels, making money out daniels, who is making money out of is making money. of this she is making money. she's merchandise and she's selling merchandise and that merchandise is flying off the quickly she's the shelves so quickly she's saying, there's saying, oh, sorry, if there's delay in and in which delay in and ship in which i think alarm bells think should ring alarm bells for few people realistically , for a few people realistically, who am i going to get in get to get the way of incredibly get in the way of the incredibly capitalist nature america, of capitalist nature of america, of course. plus do think course. plus and do you think that this mean that donald that this will mean that donald trump going to be a shoo in trump is going to be a shoo in at next election? it at the next election? could it really gift? trump for the really be a gift? trump for the republicans ? well, he's republicans? well, he's certainly will get some tailwinds going behind him because this will unify party around him. even elon musk. i think if trump is indicted , he

think if trump is indicted, he may be our next president . but, may be our next president. but, you know, when you're talking about tweets, we look at the danger of that as well in sometimes the accidentally shows exactly they are and i don't know if you going to get to nancy pelosi's tweet part of what she tweeted today was she said, no one is above the law and everyone has the right to a trial to prove innocence. but that's scary stuff because at the core , our american judicial the core, our american judicial system , the presumption of system, the presumption of innocence , he doesn't have to innocence, he doesn't have to prove his innocence . he is prove his innocence. he is innocent. they've got to prove guilt. so the other side guilt. and so the other side says , the part that they didn't says, the part that they didn't mean to say out loud and nancy pelosi did that this is scary banana stuff , pelosi did that this is scary banana stuff, you pelosi did that this is scary banana stuff , you know, stalin banana stuff, you know, stalin said, show me the man and i'll find the crime. that's that's level this has gone to their absolute hatred for this man by proxy then their hatred for americans who will put america first. yeah look peggy , thank first. yeah look peggy, thank you very, very much. always great to chat and good luck to

you. hopefully we'll chat again. very very soon. peggy. go very very soon. that's peggy. go on those executive to president ronald now trump was ronald reagan now trump was backed by some of his biggest within few minutes of the news within a few minutes of the news breaking about gates, a florida congressman who's been relentless the defence of the relentless in the defence of the former president, tweeted president donald always fought for puts american people for us. he puts american people above interests . for above corrupt interests. for that reason alone, the powerful never stop coming for him, a majority americans know alvin brock. that's the is going to be doing prosecutor alvarez's doing the prosecutor alvarez's witch hunt is politically motivated prosecution . i motivated prosecution. i continue to stand with president as he always did with us. we go to georgia now because congresswoman there marjorie greene, key ally loose. greene, another key ally loose. she president trump is she said president trump is innocent , she said president trump is innocent, but she said president trump is innocent , but not everyone she said president trump is innocent, but not everyone is unhappy news because unhappy with the news because trump's who have trump's own niece who they have long not getting along long record of not getting along mary posted long tweet mary. trump posted a long tweet which included words the which included words for the victims of donald. this is finally some measure of justice goes say that this is goes on to say that this is good. everything donald good. after everything donald put country we have put the country. we have prevailed, and looks prevailed, she says. and looks as as i was alluding to as though, as i was alluding to

welcome back. now, if you didn't go to university, then you might be in luck, because news outlets reporting that people in money will labourjobs reporting that people in money will labour jobs may reporting that people in money will labourjobs may be able to will labour jobs may be able to claim their pension earlier than graduates retire earlier. basically and the government is looking at increasing that retirement age to frankly everybody else. but an official review exemptions for people with money or labourjobs review exemptions for people with money or labour jobs based on their natural life span of their career. with me now is

charlie mullins. he's an entrepreneur and the founder, pimlico and man entrepreneur and the founder, pimlic done and man entrepreneur and the founder, pimlicdone rather and man entrepreneur and the founder, pimlicdone rather well man entrepreneur and the founder, pimlic done rather well for1an who's done rather well for himself. you right himself. charlie, you are right . yeah, well, good. thank you. you actually get good stuff . you actually get good stuff. okay. so what do you what do look into this? and do you think that this should be another boost for people who think, i'm not going to go to university. i'm not going saddle myself i'm not going to saddle myself with in debt and with thousands in debt and i'm going retire earlier , it was going to retire earlier, it was a big because it stopped more and more people going to university knowing that they're going to have to work longer. and i feel that we've many workers choice people. can't workers choice people. i can't really think that have much more than 65 you know the place i would want to go but actually so too difficult it would probably so i think it's the right move i mean i'm happy people are willing for all their life like myself to talk about the other the university, you know , some the university, you know, some of them are not what sort ? of them are not what sort? obviously not all of them, but some of would have been, you know , who pushes old people

know, who pushes old people warriors. and i think they want a more years. and unfortunately stuff like that. so they all work and people continue . all work and people continue. all right . it's a little bit of a right. it's a little bit of a borderline. and i'm just going to give it one more go for you. sorry about this. you just want to make sure i got i got what you have to say. really? which is. you you recommend people is. so you you recommend people coming now or were thinking coming up now or were thinking of leaving soon stuff. what of leaving soon and stuff. what do really recommend them do you really recommend them to try into kind of try and go into kind of practical trade as opposed to going yeah, going to university. yeah, very, very much so because many reasons. as we've said, regarding debt and certainly regarding the debt and certainly not it's a big incentive. think that you can retire at 65 or 60. they rather than continue to the one that they're trying to bring at 68, because if it becomes you get more people away from university and you know, certainly the manual workers certainly the and manual workers have worked hard all their life i continue to do that over the age of 65. it would just be impractical. so i think it's a good boost for . the guild and

good boost for. the guild and many workers . good stuff, many workers. good stuff, charlie. look thank you very much and you are a fantastic advert, an individual as well, who of course, is doing incredibly for themselves and is, i hope anyway managed to retire young. charlie retire quite young. charlie mullins entrepreneur and mullins is an entrepreneur and the founder of pimlico plumbers. good okay okay, so good luck. okay right. okay, so we've about got time to we've just about got time to finally finally, finally, let's get to of my favourite get to one of my favourite stories. a man has been filling potholes with potholes in his area with noodles. mark morales , who goes noodles. mark morales, who goes by the name of mr. pothole , is by the name of mr. pothole, is campaigning to raise awareness for the amount of potholes across the country and only make no excuses, ladies and gentlemen, for being obsessed by potholes. barbaro, also known as mr. pothole, joins me now . and mr. pothole, joins me now. and what a proud man he is. mr. pothole, joins me now. and what a proud man he is . thank what a proud man he is. thank you very much. so you've been filling in potholes with pot noodles . why well, it's a stunt noodles. why well, it's a stunt to draw attention over the ten years of campaign. not that sitting ducks pose and fishing from palms and birthday cakes. when pot noodle said working
