driving parents to their children as the government make it easier for landlords evict vulnerable tenants ? do we need vulnerable tenants? do we need to bring back squatters rights? and does rupert murdoch spend £2 million on an engagement ring? how much should ordinary blokes spend to show their love? plus your emails especially the spicy ones market gb news is not uk. you know. i'll read out and this show has a golden. we don't do bonng show has a golden. we don't do boring not on my watch. i won't have it so i beg 2 hours to come let's get to work . we start with let's get to work. we start with my big opinion. let's get to work. we start with my big opinion . the leader of my big opinion. the leader of the free world, joe biden, a man less equipped to perform his dufies less equipped to perform his duties than a eunuch on his wedding nights , has interrupted wedding nights, has interrupted one of his many dates from naps in order to announce that he will not be attending the king's coronation, the uk america's closest ally, an economic

military and diplomatic partner . the world stage will not be honoured with the presence of man so decrepit he makes the cast of last of the summer wine look positively sprightly . the look positively sprightly. the only advantage of biden not coming is that at least he won't up and forget king charles's name and call him princess diana or something. but this decision by the president , or something. but this decision by the president, his team is an extraordinary to the united kingdom . every world leader you kingdom. every world leader you can shake a stick at will be there . apart from the head of there. apart from the head of state, our greatest friend with whom we partnered to defeat hitler in the second world war. instead, we're told, will be fobbed off with an appearance by his other half, dr. jill biden . his other half, dr. jill biden. now, to be fair, i do like this lady and it's impressive that he's married to a doctor, although these days he'd be better off married a crack team of nurses . you do have to ask of nurses. you do have to ask yourself what he lost the

flights . i yourself what he lost the flights. i suspect yourself what he lost the flights . i suspect we'd lose him flights. i suspect we'd lose him somewhere over belgium as he's halfway . the hangover to halfway. the hangover to ultimately this is an extraordinary diplomatic insult. it's not from a democratic party that seems to have announced its usual chip on its shoulder about the united kingdom , with endless the united kingdom, with endless democrats banging about the british empire and our links to slavery, which, yes , were slavery, which, yes, were horrific, but neglect to mention that it was the united kingdom that it was the united kingdom that ended slavery decades before the americans got around to it. and it was, of course , to it. and it was, of course, that shipped slaves straight to their mainland, which we never did , and had effective apartheid did, and had effective apartheid in the fifties and sixties before the brilliant civil rights movement kicked in. but now want to give us a kicking by snubbing our impressive and new king on big day. snubbing our impressive and new king on big day . we're used to king on big day. we're used to this. don't forget it was president obama who disgracefully tried to intervene british politics when he urged

brits not to vote for brexit in 2016, saying that if we had the temerity to restore our sovereignty and go it alone, we would be, and i quote at the back of the queue for a trade deal all the way to speak to closest ally. can you imagine if a british prime minister out in relation to an issue within american it wouldn't happen and they wouldn't have it. and rightly . after all, they got rightly. after all, they got cheesed off when my old mate morgan got involved in the gun debate, when he hosted a show on cnn . the americans don't want to cnn. the americans don't want to be dictated to by a foreign and neither do we take biden's unhelpful interventions in regard the northern ireland protocol, which was skewed towards the interests of the eu and against the best interests of the people . northern ireland of the people. northern ireland and the whole of the uk. stay in your lane, big joe. which, by

the way when it comes to it will be the final nail in the coffin for remainers everywhere. you know that is a trade deal with trump at that point britain becomes an unstoppable global economic force , but it won't economic force, but it won't happen under joe biden . i happen underjoe biden. i consider to be no great of this country. he even answer the then prime ministerjohnson's calls prime minister johnson's calls when . he organised america's when. he organised america's disastrous evacuation from afghanistan . this treatment of afghanistan. this treatment of king charles a shocker and millions of proud americans will be ashamed of their president's behaviour in not turning up. i know americans would want that country to be represented for this massive moment in history the installation . a new british the installation. a new british king following on from the iconic reign of elizabeth, the second. rather sending his other half. jill biden . perhaps he half. jill biden. perhaps he should send another us icon , should send another us icon, mickey mouse . we'll get far more

mickey mouse. we'll get far more sense out of him . so much for sense out of him. so much for the special folks with friends . the special folks with friends. these who needs enemies . these who needs enemies. reacting to my big payday and i'm delighted to have rebecca jane john sergeant christopher biggins. great to see all three of you again. john, what do you make of this diplomatic sleight . it's not as bad as you think, i think. president biden's got to come over for the to mark the 25th anniversary of the good friday agreement . so that's friday agreement. so that's coming up very soon in the next yeah coming up very soon in the next year. but over the next week or so coming to belfast. he was here for the funeral of the queen he arrived late with his wife. rishi sunak is to

washington in june . so the idea washington in june. so the idea that the special ship is crumbling is all over? i don't think so. he ought to be there, though. surely the messaging isn't great. if he could know if he was younger and if he was better, of course he would be here. but he's not. he's not youngis here. but he's not. he's not young is not very. so this is a sensible way from that point of view, and i'm sure it's on the british side too, don't have him travelling all the world, travelling all over the world, otherwise may not survive. otherwise he may not survive. well it comment on well jane, is it a comment on health a comment on his health or a comment on his attitude to this country? i think it is health personally , think it is health personally, and i don't have much time for him trump pulled from me , him. trump pulled away from me, but i don't think it's a major loss is. yes, of course he should be there. i don't think he's fit capable at all. so. he's fit and capable at all. so. fair enough. stay at home. have a little rest. send somebody else for me. joe biden is a token figure in america, but i don't think he's truly leading the country. okay so he is the country. okay so but he is the country. okay so but he is the president and i think it's unacceptable that the figurehead of country not going to of that country is not going to be in can see you be there in may. i can see you

think that that so except to think that that so on except to bill i agree to a certain bill and i agree to a certain extent i think that it's even more unacceptable that he's the leader america . he should leader of america. he should just down and move aside just step down and move aside for somebody else who's capable . john's points on . now, i take john's points on board. christopher, you often in the world of showbiz, you know about messaging, imagery about messaging, about imagery and not a good look, and this is not a good look, isn't don't think isn't it's not i don't think it's a good look. look at all he should have made. it should make the effort. think he's the effort. i think he's probably to airmiles. he probably down to airmiles. he have exactly have enough accounts. exactly and i think you know what, they should do to represent the wonderful country of america, the united states of america is to invite tom cruise in his place, because tom cruise lives here anyway. and it's not going that he's not much travelling will be involved and he'll be much more appreciated by british public. is too small, isn't he. well, i think you could put him on a on a sort of saying these pages. yeah, exactly. you could lift him up, have him on on a plinth. seriously though, i do think bad. i mean, i think,

think it's bad. i mean, i think, you it's and considering you know, it's and considering everybody else is coming, you know, and it's big coronation know, and it's a big coronation stone every day of the stone happened every day of the yeah stone happened every day of the year. do they they do they look at last one have. well, at the last one we have. well, we might have to this century. yes, possible. so it's yes, that's possible. so it's very, very possible for this for this country. and i just my concern is that a democratic party and i think they've had some good president. so i didn't even mind obama to be honest on balance. but i do think they've got a chip on their shoulder about the uk. yeah, i think. right. | about the uk. yeah, i think. right. i think there is. there is feeling that comes is that feeling that comes across and i think joe biden really accentuates that. i think he really puts it forward . you he really puts it forward. you remember when he refused an interview with the bbc but said i'm irish, i don't like the bbc. exactly i mean, he has his opinions of this country. you know, the point about all these things is he's he's mixing it in terms of american politics. he wanted to emphasise that he was irish because that helps him. right don't this will right i don't think this will hurt much . coming hurt him much. not coming to coronation. like i don't coronation. almost like i don't think it's nice to think all

these americans saying that they would shocked and upset. would be shocked and upset. don't think but maybe i'm don't think so. but maybe i'm wrong but you think the wrong. but don't you think the americans love royal family? and i think that's one of the reasons that i mean, they'll be more interested whether harry reasons that i mean, they'll be m going erested whether harry reasons that i mean, they'll be m going toested whether harry reasons that i mean, they'll be m going to be d whether harry reasons that i mean, they'll be m going to be there rhether harry reasons that i mean, they'll be m going to be there orther harry reasons that i mean, they'll be m going to be there or not. harry is going to be there or not. well, wonder about that. yeah, well, i wonder about that. yeah, let's enough. let's hope not. besotted enough. do john, do you think, though, john, i mean, does this reflect a diminished view of the united kingdom from point of view of the americans? i think it's the americans? no, i think it's i what it shows, i i think what it shows, i suppose, that biden suppose, is that biden determined not to get too involved around the world. so there sense in compared there is a sense in compared with, , it goes around the with, say, it goes around the world all the time he's in china now. was in africa recently. now. he was in africa recently. he's travels all the time. and people think, why can't you concentrate a bit on what's on at home? and biden is clearly making the decision that if he is going to stand for another term, is really going to build up his political base . there's up his political base. there's always the great threat of trump going to have more and more about because the about trump because of the trial. if there is a trial and

from biden's point of view, it's i'm afraid, domestic politics which he really is concerned about. and if thought it was dangerous domestically , it would dangerous domestically, it would cut me wood. he would say, i've got to do it. it must be as asia as well. that must be a big consideration. that's the only consideration, yes. genuine believe it's only because of his age and his illness as. and he's probably being told, you know, his doctors probably jill biden is saying, look, i think it's good to stay home for this war because he's he's coming over, as you. it's not a it's not going over in a week's given the fact that there's a war raging in the east. john, we'll talk about that it's not about that next. it's not a great vote of confidence that leader the world. a man leader of the free world. a man access to that many nuclear is so i when you were itn so decrepit. i when you were itn in the beeb you've reported on some fairly and some fairly incompetent prime ministers. but have you ever known a leader this of doing the job? well, you certainly have people always they always like to look down on

they always like to look down on the american because the american president is always appealing in a sort of simple way. he wants to be the guy that you go and have a barbecue. it's a very different way of politics. we watch it and we think, oh, what a stupid idiot had it with reagan. and we'd say, w bush has had a lot of these people. bush particularly these people. bush particularly the bush , was brought up the young bush, was brought up in connecticut , the son of in connecticut, the son of a president. and people him as if he was someone going crazy from texas. it wasn't all i met him. i mean, he was a bright, very tough guy . and the idea that you tough guy. and the idea that you just dismiss him as a fool and saying stupid things, but entrepreneurs and what's the french from? arpanet was one of the things he was meant to have said. he didn't, of. but that didn't stop people going after him. and there is a tradition, britain, of looking down american they american presidents. i wish they wouldn't do. well, this one's easy do with, i would easy to do with, i would suggest. what you think suggest. but what do you think market, gbnews.uk? you think market, gbnews.uk? do you think that biden's absence from the coronation is insult to the coronation is an insult to the king and the british people market gbnews.uk ? coming up next

market gbnews.uk? coming up next in big story , should the in the big story, should the west out vladimir to end west take out vladimir to end the war in ukraine? see you .

in two. is joe biden's absence the king's coronation insult to britain? well this from colin. maybe can't do the atlantic in a short time . how about this from short time. how about this from peter? thank goodness for john sargeant. for a bit of perspective . it matters not perspective. it matters not a jot that biden will not be at the coronation. wayne hi mark. i'm not sure that sleepy joe would make it through the coronation . a kip or a few coronation. a kip or a few visits to the boys room . i love visits to the boys room. i love it. and also, how about this from . hi, mark. the why biden is from. hi, mark. the why biden is not going to the coronation is because there is no chocolate

chip ice cream on the menu. nicely done . you phillip. keep nicely done. you phillip. keep those emails coming. market gbnews.uk fact we put it out as a twitter poll, bring you the results of that very very shortly. but let's talk about this now it's time for the big story and a retired at top cia chief james olsen has said that the west must take out vladimir putin to end the war in ukraine. would this be the right thing to . is it ethical? is it legal ? it . is it ethical? is it legal? it be done? who would replace putin? how would the world to look into this extra idea? i'm delighted to welcome strategic intelligence analyst you and grant, mr. grant, welcome, sir. thank you tonight. thank you. first of all, is it logistically possible to take out vladimir putin? very, very difficult indeed. putin? very, very difficult indeed . has multiple levels of, indeed. has multiple levels of, security with a lot of failsafe. what might those fail safes be. there would be dummy cars. do

convoys. that he's in one of those cars? yeah duplicate helicopters . right. switching helicopters. right. switching the bodyguard out at times between different services. because you've got the of course. but you've also got the special presidential guard. and of course, you've got the backup of course, you've got the backup of the military. very, very difficult. does he have body doubles as well? does he have actors playing him? wouldn't rule it out. i suspect probably not. and they, of course, would only work at certain distances . only work at certain distances. they wouldn't really work close up , but wouldn't rule it out. up, but wouldn't rule it out. such things have been known. we didn't certainly saw that with saddam hussein, did we? most of the world would like to see the back of this man. why is it so difficult to make this strike? well, we shouldn't do it. it's quite simply. no, i suspect. well, we shouldn't do it. it's quite simply. no, i suspect . mr. quite simply. no, i suspect. mr. mr. olsen will have his for saying that he might want to be on a chat show. no obscure lutely not. this would opinion

in the global south it would harm those are equivocal in the west and there are far too many of who are apologists for russia, not russians , but russia, not russians, but apologists for russia . this apologists for russia. this would be an absolute disaster if you were in a time machine would go back and you would take adolf hitler . yes, we would direct hitler. yes, we would direct clear at war. and he was, of course, the commander in chief when you quote putin's commander in chief and in name and in fact we are not we are in a proxy war. we're not in the dock. could could and should ukraine take putin out? zelenskyy that is a different thing, because, of course, it's a direct war there and he is a combatant . and there and he is a combatant. and of course we have good reason to believe that the certainly trying to capture him and i wouldn't be surprised they wanted to kill him. they to kill stalin. so actually that strategically their intention

probably is to take to take putin out because they consider themselves at war with russia . themselves at war with russia. it won't be their top priority, their top will be to hit targets , key personnel. and remember , , key personnel. and remember, at the moment he's out of reliable range could taking vladimir putin out create more problems than we currently have 7 problems than we currently have ? i'm talking now of replacing him . no, not necessarily. he him. no, not necessarily. he die. so you also you see, is a rather political conversation? very much so. it's not a military one. all right. and what are the circumstances by which he's replaced? how does that happen with and in brutal infighting and with absolute zilch attention to the constitution , the duma, the constitution, the duma, the russian parliament. this would be a pure play, a power play. okay. and that would be a coup in the kremlin, essentially. well a struggle for power in the way that it was after the death of stalin. now, are you

persuaded the? vladimir putin is very ill and dying? no i think the evidence on that ambiguous. we have to be careful to get into wishful thinking we would like that but let the fact that we would like that to happen doesn't mean it will. we have a lot of stories around, a lot of stories floating around the is on steroids that he's got cancer he was on that famous the world's largest desk during covid because he was so petrified of catching the virus. i can assure you, western intelligence be doing all it can, both through signals intelligence and communications. but of course, the russians be very, very careful on that . but very, very careful on that. but more, i think, good old fashioned diplomacy and human intelligence means to try and get hints. but it's almost certainly only going to be hint, not proof . so what is the not proof. so what is the solution to , this conflict? we solution to, this conflict? we to double down on support for. we have to we have to go to a

semi economy as far as possible across the entire west. not just nato five eyes, which is australia and with key technological and in just real allies like japan and korea and be prepared for the long haul . be prepared for the long haul. but what does living under the circumstances of a sort of semi situation look like? for my viewers and listeners? yes i'm afraid it means higher taxes longer and higher prices and more more borrowing and cost of energy. and what about the time line from your expertise? how do you think this conflict has to run . are we talking months or run. are we talking months or years, years ? i had a historian years, years? i had a historian on the show, martin whittaker , on the show, martin whittaker, last year, and he he said it going to be the forever war. is that overstating it? no, i'm might be an exaggeration . maybe might be an exaggeration. maybe all wars eventually come to an end, but it depends how you define as ending. i've worked ukraine on the border with .

ukraine on the border with. transnistria, the russian puppet state carved out of moldova wholly illegally, of course, and not recognise and indeed not remember, not recognised by russia itself, by the now that has been going on the collapse of the soviet union when was 30 years is putin the problem or is he the potential solution ? do he the potential solution? do the west need hand this man a diamond encrusted golden ladder to climb down? i'm not sure he would take it . there's no harm would take it. there's no harm in trying to hand the russians, the crimea . crimea will allow the crimea. crimea will allow him to go back the russian people and say, we've won. i wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that way . there is the turns out that way. there is the real possibility of unleashing the black sea fleet for a full scale blockade of odesa and indeed down ukraine's international border on the

danube. if they ukrainians got near crimea. but you've highlighted the key location after kyiv the key location is not the donbas it's the approach to crimea . okay. on purpose, to crimea. okay. on purpose, privileged to have you on the show. a sobering conversation, but important. we live in the real world. my sincere thanks to . former strategic intelligence analyst. you and grant you. and thank you so much for coming in. thank you. coming up next with , thank you. coming up next with, my brilliant pundits, of course rebecca jane christopher biggins ,john rebecca jane christopher biggins , john sargeant. it's woke sex education driving parents to homeschool their kids . would you homeschool their kids. would you homeschool their kids. would you homeschool your kids ? also, as homeschool your kids? also, as the government make it easier for landlords to evict vulnerable tenants, do we need to back squatters rights ? and as to back squatters rights? and as rupert murdoch spends £2 million on an engaged ring, how much should ordinary spend to show their love? see you .

in two. should the west take out vladimir to end the war in ukraine? colin says, hi, mark, talk to putin. he wants to get out of this. also earlier in to my big opinion , i believe it's my big opinion, i believe it's a hugeinqu my big opinion, i believe it's a huge insult to the british and the king george . putin will not the king george. putin will not be appearing at the current opfion be appearing at the current option in may. well, a strong on email. sue hi, mark. of course it's a snub and a sign of what he or whoever is pulling his strings thinks of royalty and the uk . he strings thinks of royalty and the uk. he manages to get himself all the world and being too old is not an excuse . i'd too old is not an excuse. i'd rather not see him . britain, rather not see him. britain, says sue. daniel says, to answer your question, joe biden not attending the coronation and no incumbent president has attended previous coronation , including previous coronation, including eisenhower .

previous coronation, including eisenhower. in 1953. and previous coronation, including eisenhower . in 1953. and jeff, eisenhower. in 1953. and jeff, simply says the man is an embarrassment to the free world. well, you do wonder whether his absence means that he won't say or do something rather silly. now, back with me reacting to the big stories of day, my three top pundits tonight, journalist broadcaster john sargeant , the broadcaster john sargeant, the deputy leader of ukip, rebecca jane , and actor and entertainer jane, and actor and entertainer and tv host christopher begins. now there's been a 50% increase in the number of children being homeschooled in the uk . as more homeschooled in the uk. as more and more stories emerge every day about inappropriate sex education, class is woke brainwashing the classroom driving parents to homeschool their i believe we've got a clip at particular secondary school here in england and this this is a teacher talking about lgbt pupils bus themes. now don't forget that some people think it's cool but others think it's controversial . this is courtesy

controversial. this is courtesy of the pressure group turning point uk. take a listen to this teacher in a classroom and let me make this very clear. you don't have a choice whether or not you learn about lgbt pupils in school. you don't have a choice . it's one of the values choice. it's one of the values of british probably refused to do it. that was the theory . do it. that was the theory. okay. well, look, there you go. it's pretty controversial stuff . it's literally non—negotiable that you're taught that stuff in school. many would welcome it. others think it's brainwashing. rebecca jane , i didn't hear what rebecca jane, i didn't hear what you said . well, what this you said. well, what this teacher who's in a secondary school to his kids that these children don't have a choice but to learn about lgbtq+ themes which i guess includes gender, ideology, the that you know, maybe you're in the wrong you can swap sex and you have no choice and if you do not engage with what's being , then you'll with what's being, then you'll be in big trouble. there will be severe consequences. it's not like it . kids

severe consequences. it's not like it. kids i have kids. i also have a children's charity and we go into schools and we work with children and they tell us their and there are a lot of children who have a lot of gender issues and sexuality issues and they do need more help and support them. that's one stance. but as a parent, help and support them. that's one stance. but as a parent , the one stance. but as a parent, the fact that they try and make this mandatory and enforce it is the bit that i don't like because where the parents we should the ones who get to say what our children and are not taught within you , obviously certain within you, obviously certain remains. this is such a controversial subject that it should come back to the parents rather than the school saying you have to learn this and if you have to learn this and if you want to learn, you'll you don't want to learn, you'll be trouble. why are we be in big trouble. why are we not teaching freedom their not teaching freedom of their own of thought? own mind and freedom of thought? what's wrong with well, what's wrong with that? well, yes, because christopher, the contentious here is that so—called ideology, which suggests that a man can become a woman and vice versa, that they can change their sex is embraced by some, but by others. so it's

divisive idea. it shouldn't therefore perhaps be taught in school as . fact as fact . well, school as. fact as fact. well, i'm not so sure it should be was non—negotiable. that you will learn about. no, i don't think . learn about. no, i don't think. don't you'll be punished. no, no, i think that's very wrong. i mean, certainly, i mean, i know i'm old, but i certainly that never happened to me at school. i you know, i didn't i mean, you know, and i didn't happen very but i wouldn't happen to be very but i wouldn't change a thing because we've got big enough to show for it. i mean, but also, i think it was good what we had. we were educated, i think, force educated, i think, to force children these beliefs is children into these beliefs is wrong . and i think i can wrong. and i think i can understand why more and more parents are taking their children because they didn't want they want it, because they necessarily, identify necessarily, you know, identify new folks. but for me, i'm a great libertarian. and if you want to live by another gender, good luck to you. and i respect . and you know will . absolutely and you know will acknowledge it too but don't think a lot of parents want their kids being asked by a teacher, are you a boy are teacher, are you a boy or are you a girl? what do you what are

you a girl? what do you what are you today? i know that that's terribly wrong. also it terribly wrong. and also what it is doing it's influencing is doing is it's influencing that to make think, well, that child to make think, well, what am i today? am i a boy or a girl? you know what mean? i think it's gone far too far. and i can understand, you know, there is there is i mean, i know people who've become a man a man become a woman who then two or three years later becomes a man again . and it's all to do with again. and it's all to do with the mind. i mean it's very, very psychological. whole at that psychological. the whole at that stage and at that age i know nine and ten years old. how on earth you decide your agenda earth can you decide your agenda ? husbands every three ? i change husbands every three years, goodness years, for goodness sake. i don't me. what? none of them are good enough. i know the john sargeant tonight so. yeah there you go. anything's possible. john and flip side to this john and is a flip side to this debate, which is that trans people the most in people are among the most a in our society. this terrible prejudice they are physically sometimes and therefore perhaps these marginalised groups deserve representation in a school setting . i'm not sure school setting. i'm not sure that this is the way to do it.

if that's if that's your objective, i think that the key thing, of course, is to make sure you're not encouraging people to think they're changing sex or not changing sex. and thatis sex or not changing sex. and that is very difficult for a school to organise . i think it's school to organise. i think it's very difficult for grown ups to kids about sex. i find it an odd subject that they want to talk about amongst themselves because they can giggle , they can think, they can giggle, they can think, could sort of excite and they can explore normal rest of it. but the idea that someone talks about sex we had a sex lesson at school and the man who came to talk to us, it was horrible looking enormous. horrible. anyway he is some sort of suggesting whether or not. well, the issue is whether in the holidays we go with prostitutes although blimey never crossed our minds that we might pay someone to have sex with them but he was discussing in this sort of orwellian of course on the one hand this and a lot venereal disease and so on and

i'm i was what i was 16 or something at the time and i was innocent , something at the time and i was innocent, young, impressionable but i thought this was pretty shocking , to be honest. but shocking, to be honest. but they're now talking children younger. they i mean, they're talking to we need to seven year children's innocence i totally agree and this is not going to do that . no, absolutely no. the do that. no, absolutely no. the government are legislation to make evicting vulnerable people animal people from rental properties more easy. what do we think about this rebecca jane this is bad news for tenants and is it time to bring back squatters rights right . well, i squatters rights right. well, i had a little bit of a different theory on this until i read the article. so i think it's a three strike rule that if you get reported for anti—social behaviour on three occasions, then you're out and there's a domestic abuse charity said that there is a 40% rise with people that are abused. having one of these claims made by them as leverage as a way of getting one upmanship, of causing the person

problems and trouble. so i think this has over with the problem that we have with our country and our current government. the devil is in the detail and, you know, what is the qualification , the criteria invoking this , the criteria for invoking this three stage rule over these three stage rule over these three strikes? and then you write, i think it has to be really carefully looked absolutely . you've absolutely fine if. you've broken antisocial behaviour three times, genuine whole heartedly. yeah. off go forget about it. but i think that the criteria and the threshold needs to be very high. what do we think about tenants slung out of their properties, especially? they're vulnerable. well, i think not a good idea at think it's not a good idea at all and i think if they're vulnerable, i mean, everyone all and i think if they're vulnernowadays an, everyone all and i think if they're vulnernowadays to. everyone all and i think if they're vulnernowadays to be eryone all and i think if they're vulnernowadays to be secure in needs nowadays to be secure in their homes. and of course, it's not because very difficult not because it's very difficult to mortgages, difficult not because it's very difficult to get mortgages, difficult not because it's very difficult to get rented|ges, difficult not because it's very difficult to get rented property difficult not because it's very difficult to get rented property .difficult not because it's very difficult to get rented property . soicult not because it's very difficult to get rented property . so it'st to get rented property. so it's very difficult get property very difficult to get property to live in. and i feel very and i this all my life that next breathing you should have home and you should have perhaps a small home. you should have room and the kitchen bathroom. and

then as you become more and more successful, you get another room and you get another bathroom. someone's got ten, but know it is . i think someone's got ten, but know it is. i think it's wrong to not look after people. i mean, you see people now , more and more see people now, more and more people now on the streets sleeping. i mean, i go i live in hackney and i in there there are hundreds of i think on the main point here, which is really we're to the question of we're back to the question of why can't we build more home? yes. i think if we if we did that if we really that and if we really concentrate as they after concentrate as they did after the war, when they start to build more and more homes, prefab homes . prefab homes were prefab homes. prefab homes were wonderful words and it did work. and why we can't somehow get back to that straightforward can do it because it would a lot of these arguments which way down these arguments which way down the track don't they definitely . and there are so many people who are out of a home which should be know that. by the same token there are people who like living on the streets, then they should be looked after in a

different way. oh, they've got mental health issues. oh, they've exactly. mean, they've got. exactly. i mean, there problems you'll there are other problems you'll say. complex it's say. right. it's complex it's nuanced. i think the message nuanced. but i think the message from my pundits is from all three of my pundits is baby and that fix baby build. and that would fix a lot our issues. now, what lot of our issues. now, what attracted leslie to the multi—billionaire rupert murdoch and what we do know is he spent too dollars on an engagement cheapskates. hey, guys , exactly cheapskates. hey, guys, exactly that small change that mr. murdoch but how much should ordinary blokes spend to show their love for their half? christopher are you are you are you in a civil. no, i am. i image civil partnerships that involve an engagement. well it did in fact, i'm not wearing mine tonight. we both got russian wedding rings. lovely. which very nice, cheap , very which very nice, cheap, very cheap and cheap cash. i didn't know how much they wear, but i think it's nice to have a symbol that you are together with . and that you are together with. and you know, and i love enormously. and he loves me . but i mean, and he loves me. but i mean, i think that, you know i suppose

he should be i do think he should be any amount i think you should be any amount i think you should be any amount i think you should be able to give something. and, you know, you may have called to in the old days to woolworths and bought a curtain ring but you could give someone you know and account for the making finger the fact that making your finger discoloured a good thing discoloured it was a good thing to have but know if you've to have but you know if you've got money and he i think if got the money and he i think if you say a percentage of his earnings i mean he adds that what he's given her is nothing. yes he's i think his net worth is something in the region of £70 billion. yes. he's got a few, bob. he's got some money, johni few, bob. he's got some money, john i mean, the idea, i think of previously it was three months salary wasn't . it was he months salary wasn't. it was he gets some of it. yeah. i mean, you know out of money that you can't quite afford shouldn't it. you know, the trouble is because i'm affected by my personal experience married for experience that i've married for 54 gradually that 54 years in gradually that wealthy when i sort of going wealthy when i was sort of going out with my mother suddenly said, well, i've got a brooch which has a diamond , has a which has a diamond, has a sapphire, and diamonds around

it. you might find it useful as well for it. so he said, well, just take it you might find useful. and of course i then that into an engagement ring . so that into an engagement ring. so he wants the stones off brooch and no know the brooch was taken and no know the brooch was taken and the jewellers made it in to put a ring around it sort of melted it down or put it on top of a ring. what did they do? put it had a claw, you know these i know i'm not a jeweller, i'm all politics at the antiques roadshow . it's so big she can roadshow. it's so big she can hardly lift her hand. but it is way now worth a lot of money. mary got load of recycled old. no, she'd it she wears it to this day and when i tell the story she then presents it and it gets a ripple of applause in any gathering . i bet she any gathering. i bet she threatens to chuck it in the river thames every time you have an argument. rebecca how much should a gentleman spend ? i'll should a gentleman spend? i'll put on the table. put my cards on the table. i spent grand for mrs. dolan, spent a grand for mrs. dolan, which is of money. how which is a lot of money. how long is those days ? this was. long is those days? this was. this was 2003. oh, a lot of

dollars. 20 years, a lot of money. it is not. here's my thing i'm not materialistic at so i would prefer something far more sentimental rather than something just costs not to sleep fortune because somebody like that can go and chuck a lot of money at something solve the problem. that. problem. i'm not into that. i like the brooch idea but the went . no, no. was went downhill. no, no. it was part of the now. it was sort of part of the now. it was sort of part of the now. it was sort of part of an arranged marriage. let tell you. i've met mary . let me tell you. i've met mary. they dream couple. i've they are a dream couple. i've got to dream pundits. got to say. dream pundits. they'll shortly . up my they'll be back shortly. up my mount guest dragons to mount meets guest dragons to install turner, italian install paul turner, italian british butcher who achieved an £80,000 investment from one of the dragons. he's .

democratic result. it also tells you that they're absolutely terrified . the idea that brexit terrified. the idea that brexit could a huge success. what's terrifying is they now need britain to fail just to be proved right . and last but not proved right. and last but not least, donald trump is in legal hot water and could be the first us president to be arrested and charged with a crime possibly facing jail . well, democrats facing jail. well, democrats supporters understand as they pursue this politicised witch hunt. is that. yes, trump will ultimately wind up accommodated in a run facility. but it will be the white house. be careful what you wish for. and that was dolan's diary. what you wish for. and that was dolan's diary . reacting to the dolan's diary. reacting to the big stories of the day three of the top pundits in the country. we have the fantastic broadcaster and comedian christopher biggins , tv news christopher biggins, tv news legend john sargeant and

to figure this out. this cannot happen again. and as a child in a very scary situation, i felt things were going to be okay. what was that, mark? that wasn't any sort of healing or bringing the country together or this was a horrible . but the country together or this was a horrible. but i the country together or this was a horrible . but i want you to a horrible. but i want you to know that that tomorrow's another day and we're going to figure this. that wasn't that at all. i have to say, i don't really judge the president, because i think he's lost marbles. i don't think the guy is well, and i think there a genuine duty of care to president to get him out of office as soon as possible . he office as soon as possible. he won't be travelling to london for . the coronation on may the for. the coronation on may the sixth. the only proper us dignitary that is coming is kinsey schofield. is that right ? 0h, kinsey schofield. is that right ? oh, what a great. i'm putting that on my resume . okay. what that on my resume. okay. what i will say is that biden allegedly farted in front of queen consort camilla. i don't know if you remember that amazing headline. so perhaps he wasn't even ianed so perhaps he wasn't even invited because i think that is

and people doing normal things and i suppose that the idea of let's try and get to the next sensation let's and hope that oh i don't that one of the horses gets put down this year. well they probably will be put but that's to whip it up like that in so many ways. it's that's to whip it up like that in so many ways . it's such an in so many ways. it's such an innocent pastime, isn't it ? and innocent pastime, isn't it? and also there are hundreds people rebelling on that day, supposedly , whereas thousands of supposedly, whereas thousands of people, thousands and tens that are really out there, millions they watch television are out there in to enjoy a fantasy stick sport glorified attention seeking normally middle class as well. yes of course university educated on a forever shopping. can i ask you about the of this though because i mean i've said it's undemocratic not because i don't believe in freedom of expression the right to but this is clearly activity . does the is clearly activity. does the government to be seen to come down hard on it. well, i certainly can't understand why someone causes enormous upset,

which these people are obviously to try and cause. and some said they should be sort of punished accordingly not sort of you know, you a right to express your feelings. know, you a right to express your feelings . you don't have your feelings. you don't have a right to at at every place. i flew yourself to the motorway. yeah.i flew yourself to the motorway. yeah. i don't know. right. so i go to aintree and i a right to do all sorts things. now you don't what we rights of private property and all the rest of it but all that seems to be forgotten. but don't think about other. no they that's the problem that they don't think about the idea of how should we all regard to is it i'm all with regard to is it i'm afraid of those and it's the afraid one of those and it's the old speaking really but in old man speaking really but in the past people used to think, oh, i don't think one ought to do that. yeah, obviously once in which this sort of things you could do and things you couldn't but it's not cricket or it's rather all bad. oh i can't let other people the all that now that now isn't it. yes that is gone now isn't it. yes idea. i it would be idea. i think it would be churlish destroy the day not just for thousands there as just for the thousands there as big instead, but the millions

watching. a watching. however, there is a flip this these groups flip side to this these groups would argue that the ends justify the means . so they are justify the means. so they are the modern suffrage sets the modern day suffrage sets that the planet is on fire, that we have an emergency. that's their argument now. i think their argument now. but i think this where that this is where i wish that i spend more time studying philosophy or more time studying . these savages have been dealt with in the past. you don't have a right because think something but people seem to think nowadays that if they feel that's their truth , they must that's their truth, they must impose their truth on others . impose their truth on others. well, this is not the sort of part of some elaborate, sophisticated it just seems to be crude , stupid, and it turns be crude, stupid, and it turns me off that point, i'm keen on the grand national when i, i don't like it the weather's awful i mean liverpool for sakes is never a fun experience . me is never a fun experience. me i don't like the way that the animals are hurt and everything that unfolds there . but with that unfolds there. but with this it doesn't make me focus on that. it makes me focus their just idiotic behaviour and actually i'm going the other way

. but look what they do with the motorways to all people. couldn't get work. people lost money, people died because couldn't get to a hospital. there were so things that happened because of what they did, but they didn't think about that. don't care. rebecca jane new oil filled oil field blow the uk carbon budget . this is a the uk carbon budget. this is a single new and gas field in the nonh single new and gas field in the north sea would be enough to exceed the uk's carbon allowance from its operations alone . the from its operations alone. the government is looking at a drilling. what do you think ? i drilling. what do you think? i think that there is no climate mark and i'm sick hearing about it now. a majority of science would disagree with that, wouldn't i know. but unfortunately i do disagree with it because been subjected i'm not professing to be a scientist. i'm not professing to be right. it is just my opinion. ihave be right. it is just my opinion. i have been to numerous presentations from different scientists actually say that the climate crisis is not is just a bunch of hysteria and not that we need to stop making our own fuel. we to stop relying on

other countries you know, if we have to do what we have to do to protect our people. so debating climate science aside, because we are an energy crisis, we have in the north sea, we have coal beneath our feet. there's even gas. do we do we start explore those options, do you think? i think that it is on our doorstep why shouldn't we be looking into it and getting it getting those resources. absolutely. for us to use we've strong messaging haven't we john, from the prime minister, stop the boats , settle minister, stop the boats, settle the nerves of , the international the nerves of, the international bond markets on whose largesse we're now so reliant inflation should be by the end of the yeah should be by the end of the year. so you've got the economy , got the boats. do you think this could be another winner for rishi sunak being seen to water down the net zero agenda? well, there's always a temptation to do that. i mean, i disagree . the do that. i mean, i disagree. the background i think it's a background this i think it's a very serious we've to take very serious we've got to take it here is even i have got now my wife's an electric car so i

mean we've we've taken the ultimate decision as a family. we've come and worked . oh, no be we've come and worked. oh, no be voting liberal democrat next guy that no he was when it comes to something like this i would just like it analysed how much more sensible way we're going go on using carbon in different ways in foreseeable future. right? we're not going to just go to zero, right? it's zero from what it was . it's not the idea that it was. it's not the idea that there'll be no that we nothing ever used . so the idea that we ever used. so the idea that we will stop particular project in the north sea and then import at greater cost the amount of oil from elsewhere seems to be bonkers. you know, i think we should just bring these ideas and say, what do we now in order to reduce the oil that we will need , the oil we will need to need, the oil we will need to put on our bikes to make them. but, you know, you need the idea that you just you don't need oil, you don't need plastic eggs. you can just sort of stop all that stuff because it's carbon that isn't good. it's not

going to work like that. it's a question of trying get down what you can down, not doing you can get down, but not doing things like this, which just make you look good, make people then feel, oh good , bad. we're then feel, oh good, bad. we're stopping okay well, let's stopping that. okay well, let's save it for you. we've all got it on the front page. this i was very moved today to see television coverage little television coverage of little amil amal, the 12 foot puppet , amil amal, the 12 foot puppet, which is the syrian refugees . which is the syrian refugees. and i think it was fantastic the puppet is amazing. and i think it was fantastic the puppet is amazing . yeah. and the puppet is amazing. yeah. and the reaction it was getting from the pubuc reaction it was getting from the public was wonderful they really believed i think this was a person and it was extraordinary really is inspiring. the 12 foot puppet of a syrian has become a global symbol of human rights appearing hampstead heath in parliament hill in, support of displaced children around world very very impressive this have more things like that in the news definitely good news story. well you always get good with big and my pundits big things and my pundits tonight rebecca and john tonight rebecca jane and john sargeant will be back. and next up, got the express with a up, we've got the express with a

summer in which thousands more illegal immigrants have landed . illegal immigrants have landed. okay, well, look, i'll get to that story shortly with christopher biggins , rebecca christopher biggins, rebecca jane and john sargeant, john a concerning story in the observer. before we get to migrants care homes crisis children sent hundreds of miles away. yeah this year i mean this is just one of those just terribly sad stories. these kids they they haven't got enough foster parents in london . there foster parents in london. there are literally hundreds of kids with nowhere to go. so they're them hundreds of miles london to care homes now. i mean this really grim we're all right we're now and we're a rich are we're now and we're a rich are we a rich country? what are we doing dickensian and why is it what i don't understand is suddenly we're told the worst we don't tell the beginning it which is could you foster a child if you're in london could you could have more of that.

could there be a campaign for fostering joy? i don't know. we don't get we don't hear any a word of that. we get crisis. we get they're being sent . so it get they're being sent. so it means that whatever happens , means that whatever happens, there are children. now we're going suffering and it's going to be suffering and it's too this the only too late. this is the only warning we've had properly of something which has been known it presumably months . yes. it presumably for months. yes. rebecca jane, this the plight of children and vulnerable kids and kids with problems is a great and a vocation of yours . and a vocation of yours. absolutely. yeah. i think it's pretty tragic to . be fair. but, pretty tragic to. be fair. but, you know, there's a lot of things in country that need a complete and utter overhaul. this is one of them. and i like what you said that, you know, we haven't heard about this. you know, why have we not heard about. i do hear obviously i'm from and on our from in the north and on our radios. the moment we do have some campaigns fostering. some campaigns about fostering. but have a bigger but this needs to have a bigger light it does is light shone on it. it does is it's important. really it's important. it really does suspect. just have this suspect. can i just have this quickly of the problems that quickly one of the problems that maybe this a this is maybe that this is a this is starts off being london story. starts off being a london story. yeah and that has tremendous in

newsrooms in all years i've been in newsrooms 000 what a pity. it's a london story and they spend so much of their time sort of playing down london because the other parts of the country at cross about this is the this is the assumption. so and i don't want to don't another london story and you just think well you not want to do a london story but these kids are suffering and it's a practical story which isn't just a national story playing down a city that has a population of 11 million, 11 million people saying, oh, no, we can't do that because london. well, big because it's london. well, big enough. because it's london. well, big enough . i think, you know, we enough. i think, you know, we are broke as a country at are a bit broke as a country at the i've spoken strongly the moment. i've spoken strongly about sector about the public sector wage demands, the of it, demands, all the rest of it, inflation but actually when it comes welfare kids, comes to the welfare of kids, it's money. object, of course it's money. no object, of course . you know, this is our . i mean, you know, this is our future. are the people who future. these are the people who are to broaden everything are going to broaden everything that lives and we that happens in our lives and we can't treat people like this a bit like the wall. you know, when the children were sent down

to country because, they to the country because, they were they going were frightened. they were going to know, there's to be bombed. you know, there's none that going on. i mean, they're just sitting there because there's nothing else to they're just sitting there be

enough, of course not good enough, of course not good enough, but maybe good enough politically. i mean, good enough for all of us gentlemen. mean for all of us gentlemen. mean for the public to see that things are moving, that the dial has been moved. that's and to see things to inflation see things happen to inflation coming the number of coming down the number of illegal immigrants arriving is coming down that's really i think that the conservatives hope for but it could be very significant . my sincere to john significant. my sincere to john sargeant rebecca jane and christopher biggins loved second of that company and i've enjoyed every second of your company thank you so for listening on dab plus weather your eyes i know you might be in the car you might be a taxi driver, an hgv or you're at home going up some errands and thank you for watching as well of this show is global can for free global you can see us for free anywhere on the planet's on youtube be back from nine youtube i'll be back from nine for my big opinion and my take ten so many big stories to get through so we'll do it then let me you that headline is a hilarious look at tomorrow's with three top comedians see you
