complaining of breathing , but he complaining of breathing, but he returned home to the vatican yesterday . this returned home to the vatican yesterday. this is gb news. we'll bring you more news as it happens. now is back to emily . happens. now is back to emily. yes, the home secretary suella braverman been very busy this week writing the mail. on sunday, she revealed it's her mission to ensure there really no hiding place for the evil gangs grooming all vulnerable young , brave gangs grooming all vulnerable young, brave men announced gangs grooming all vulnerable young , brave men announced those young, brave men announced those with children will have a legal duty to report signs or suspicions of sexual abuse. the home secretary also stated that prime minister rishi sunak will set out further measures to tackle the grooming gang on monday . joining me in the studio monday. joining me in the studio now to discuss the latest is gb news political catherine forster. thank you very much indeed. this seems like a significa an intervention from

the home secretary well, hopefully , of course, this is hopefully, of course, this is a huge that hasn't really got terribly much attention. and we have had these scandals of grooming gangs, prey on young, vulnerable girls in places like rotherham , in places like rotherham, in places like rochdale , where it's gone on for rochdale, where it's gone on for years , years and years. and years, years and years. and people in positions of power that should be safe. these children have basically a blind eye because as the home secretary suella braverman said this morning, after the men involved are ethnic minority groups, she pakistani men , groups, she pakistani men, particularly , and people think , particularly, and people think, oh, well, i better not say anything because i'll be considered racist or i'll be called . and they say nothing. called. and so they say nothing. and this has gone on, on and on. so it sounds positive, obviously , that the government is going to take firm action. we will find out the specifics tomorrow, but it's obviously trailed today

. but my understanding is that this legal mandatory duty that they plan to bring in professionals working with children they legally have report if they have concerns that a might be being abused or risk of being abused that actually it's a consultation at this on that the law not about to change right now and lisa nandy labour's shadow levelling up secretary, is saying yes , but up secretary, is saying yes, but you've had 30 years. what's taking so long the nspcc saying yes, this is a in the right direct action and the government are expected to announce an extra £600,000 thousand nspcc whistleblowing helpline . it's whistleblowing helpline. it's going to be more money for that. but this is an issue that has been going on. it's pretty much been going on. it's pretty much been pushed the carpet for a

very long time and dozens, hundreds , fact of girls in this hundreds, fact of girls in this country have been let very badly. yes think that's a pretty good analysis of what's going on. it's interesting that at least the nandy as well said if there's only a focus on british pakistani groups that there may be well a blind eye to other groups, that these crimes . we groups, that these crimes. we will talk to charlie peters later who did a documentary a fantastic documentary on this whole and very much brought this to the fore so he deserves much credit for that. we'll be talking to him later in the show. but in terms of this mandatory reporting, would that be for people like social care workers , local police , workers, local police, essentially anyone who with children has access to children can be confided in by children. those types of people will have a explicit well, they'll have to say whether a child has come to

them , etc, etc. yes so people them, etc, etc. yes so people working in the public services , working in the public services, teachers, police, social workers as , you say people that have a as, you say people that have a direct professional role with children and are to put their welfare uppermost, children and are to put their welfare uppermost , that will welfare uppermost, that will apply potentially to them. i think what's astonished is that many people will assumed that that duty was there anyway if you're supposed to be looking children have a duty of care for then it's astonishing that . then it's astonishing that. legally, you can just sort of , legally, you can just sort of, oh, well, i didn't like to say anything because, you know, i think people find that incredible really . also, this incredible really. also, this was one of rishi sunak pledges was one of rishi sunak pledges was it not, in his leadership contest , in was it not, in his leadership contest, in his leadership campaign initially was that he wanted to stamp out grooming gangs. now that is a tall order. it's a big ask the home secretary wrote that this is still going on up and down the that was one of her four big

truths that she wrote in her piece today. that's very much case. this is a big, big task. it's certainly a big task . it's it's certainly a big task. it's another you . we're getting more another you. we're getting more and more of these announcements now, aren't we? because obviously the local elections in england coming up in the next month or so , the general month or so, the general election a year , year and election a year, year and a half, the government is starting to ramp up these announcements . to ramp up these announcements. but of course, they will need to show action that equally applies to the small boats crisis . what to the small boats crisis. what suella braverman has also been busy today defending the government's policy on rwanda . government's policy on rwanda. she appeared on the bbc and was told that in 2018 1212 immigrants were killed they were protesting against the food rations being reduced. apparently the rwandan police opened fire and 12 of them were killed and the home secretary was presented with this and asked, is a safe ? her answer was

asked, is a safe? her answer was that was 2018 when and now in 2023, the government's trying to try to really fine line because on the one hand they want to make it clear that rwanda is a safe decent option for people to be sent to because they don't want to fall foul of international law. but on the other hand the whole point of saying , if you come here saying, if you come here illegally, we're going to you to rwanda so that people don't come is to as a deterrent. so they're treading a really fine line, aren't they between not making it too attractive and at the same not making it so awful that they're stopped in the courts. yes in a very you had massive pr drive going to rwanda. lots of photos taken, lots of lovely pictures of how great it is over there. but to be confronted by this story, i think she said, oh, i don't know about that case. we shall we shall see what happens with one. thank you very much catherine foster, much indeed, catherine foster, our reporter there, our political reporter there, taking latest from

taking through the latest from suella now are still suella braverman. now are still waiting to 8 hours at the port of dover after they had to run extra ferry services overnight to try and clear backlog. the port has declared a critical incident as built up from the easter holiday getaway . coaches easter holiday getaway. coaches at the cruise terminal face longest waits. the home secretary again has denied that the delays are to brexit joining me live from dover is , gb news me live from dover is, gb news national reporter theo chikomba . theo, thank you very much indeed for being down there in doven indeed for being down there in dover. it a nice day, but not so good for those wanting to travel. yes afternoon. well, the sun has come out decent weather here, but of course, many people who are inside the port at the moment are frustrated because they are having wait. i'm not sure if you can see just over my shoulder there is still a backlog of coaches. many of them have been here since yesterday . have been here since yesterday. the port management have said 300 coaches yesterday managed to get onto ferries as well as tore

in cars and lorries as. get onto ferries as well as tore in cars and lorries as . well, in cars and lorries as. well, today, their lorries have been able to get in pretty smoothly. they've been going in for the last few hours and those in cars as well have been able to do so. but the problem is for those in coaches, not long now, about half an hour , i spoke to half an hour, i spoke to a teacher who's with some school students around , 80 of them, 14 students around, 80 of them, 14 to 15 year olds who are meant to be going to italy on a skiing trip. and they say they've been here since yesterday day around 830. and say they haven't 830. and they say they haven't heard any communication from those in the ports. and they this french side is having some problems in terms of like just sticks, which has meaning. they're still here they are surprised the same was surprised. this is the situation because . these children are all because. these children are all booked in the coach was booked in to them coming here. so in prior to them coming here. so why are they in this? it's not the first time something like this has happened last year in august similar scenes were seen so many of those making ways to

calais to go on holiday and more were stuck here for hours on end. but at the moment it we don't have any indication whatsoever of when this is going to finish or when are allowed to go through. but the management have said they apologise for people who have been here for hours and to get onto the ferry. but for now it's not clear long they're going to be here. but of course we'll be patiently waiting for them to go through into the port, onto the ferry as well . thank into the port, onto the ferry as well. thank you very much indeed . that was our gb news national reporter. theo chikomba sat down in dover . reporter. theo chikomba sat down in dover. now the reporter. theo chikomba sat down in dover . now the trade in dover. now the trade secretary kemi badenoch has been selling the new window pacific trade deal even though it may only boost the uk economy by 0.08. she said the accession the comprehensive and progressive agreement for partnership is about potential for growth tomorrow , with the bloc tomorrow, with the bloc containing 11 other trading nafions containing 11 other trading nations joining now is rejoin eu party northern coordinator john

fouche. party northern coordinator john fouche . thank you very much fouche. thank you very much indeed. fouche. thank you very much indeed . oh wow john, you indeed. oh wow john, you definitely dressed for the occasion. look at you . thank you occasion. look at you. thank you very much indeed forjoining me. joining me this afternoon. now, i've been getting little bit annoyed because been hearing many commentators , particularly many commentators, particularly those who voted to remain complaining about this deal, saying it's no good, saying it's nothing compared to being in the eu . imagine you would agree with eu. imagine you would agree with that. eu. imagine you would agree with that . absolutely it's 50 times that. absolutely it's 50 times smaller in its gdp effect, 50 times smaller. we 4% of gdp permanently from leaving the eu . this is 0.08, 50 times less people are saying, oh yes, it's going to make it harder to back in the eu. absolute rubbish in the deal. it says you get a six months notice that's all and you write like any commercial contract it has a withdrawal clause . this is why we could clause. this is why we could leave the because it has a withdrawal clause this is why

scotland will be able to leave the uk because it's a commercial deal between england and scotland and they'll be able break it . but scotland and they'll be able break it. but isn't this scotland and they'll be able break it . but isn't this exactly break it. but isn't this exactly done?isnt break it. but isn't this exactly done? isn't this exactly what the british public when they entered the european union or the various iterations the past they wanted a trade deal that wouldn't try to dictate legislation wouldn't try to dictate regulation that wouldn't have a parliament in brussels , have a parliament in brussels, that wouldn't have various peer crats dictating our policy in this country. if the european union stayed just a free block, then wouldn't have had this problem. never was . it never was problem. never was. it never was . it never was a trading only trade , a tool to bring the trade, a tool to bring the countries closer together. it always was a political agreement . churchill told you that in the fifties it's commercial. it's a commercial tool to get closer political union to prevent wars

. now, the people in the cptpp, do you really think that they want to limit this to trade. no. they were created to oppose china to try and limit china's commercial power , if they had commercial power, if they had the chance to join the eu, they jump the chance to join the eu, they jump at it . well, hang onto to jump at it. well, hang onto to see. i studied european at the london of economics at the european institute there and i was for all the european union before dug into the detail and realise how much how opaque some of the decision making processes were, how much some people within the european union were committed to having a europe wide . well, essentially, europe wide. well, essentially, europe . one almost dictatorship from brussels, where all governments would be from brussels. and the countries that were members would be told what to do and when . and that's why people when. and that's why people decided actually we need to get off this train , need to get off

off this train, need to get off this rail track because it does rather destroy the self—justification and for the european union . one of the myths european union. one of the myths of the european that the world the world is divided into only three regulatory boxes blocks the eu , the us and china. but the eu, the us and china. but now have this indo—pacific trade . how exciting . well, it's . how exciting. well, it's exciting for the people . the exciting for the people. the pacific. we're too away. it's the other side of the world. well, hang on, hang on. let me finish. let me finish. between malaysia, japan and vietnam to the uk is , between 38 and 48 the uk is, between 38 and 48 days by ship from australia and new . 42 to 57 days from peru new. 42 to 57 days from peru and, chile, 22 to 27 days. it's and, chile, 22 to 27 days. it's a huge amount of time yanking the ship tomatoes and salads from there. often by the time it arrives . well, hang on. that's arrives. well, hang on. that's a good it's a good thing, john, that largest that we're the second largest exporter of services in, the world, isn't it? yes yes. so

what difference does that make with brexit? it makes sense this to our nearest market, which we were aligned. it's not necessarily of us make any difference to anywhere else. it's not necessarily about solid tomatoes, though, is it . 0h, tomatoes, though, is it. oh, great. this just a facetious example of the that you get with distance now our nearest market is all around us. it's called the european union, but we still is a market, john. we still have a trade agreement with european union . we have a partial little union. we have a partial little bit that allows us to do certain things we're massively disadvantaged and we basically put ourselves in our rooms on punishment. block we've it to ourselves. so what you've got to remember, you're talking earlier about the eu and its structure . about the eu and its structure. the eu structure is incredibly democrat tech because . the prime democrat tech because. the prime ministers of all the countries together, and they decide, oh we want to do something in common in this area . european

in this area. european commission, please go away , commission, please go away, draft something. they bring it back. draft something. they bring it back . the government, the heads back. the government, the heads of government at it, discuss it, send them back . changes, comes send them back. changes, comes back eventually agree something .then back eventually agree something . then it goes to the european parliament who look at it and argue and it goes back between the three of them and eventually they agree something. then it goes to all national parliaments and at in germany and belgium to the regional and they all to sign off on it before it passes. this is the most democratic thing you could possibly , john, thing you could possibly, john, the ideal system , the eu. i the ideal system, the eu. i would say no . i think we should would say no. i think we should have one government in the eu would make things a lot quicker to take decisions . but the to take decisions. but the reason they can't take decisions quickly is because you've got 28 prima donnas in a room that lead the lead the show. go take one of this. one's done. i'm terribly sorry. we've only got a moment left . i can see very much moment left. i can see very much that you have no desire to stop rejoin eu and you have a lot of

a lot enthusiasm as well but you know full being you were trying to get rid of the ability for nafion to get rid of the ability for nation states to veto certain policies and certain requirements. so that was very much a step towards your dream of . one government. but thank of. one government. but thank you your want to do that scotland doesn't get the right to decide anything in the uk overrides all the other three countries. every time it wants brexit. i hope we stay together in that union anyway. thank you very much indeed. john walsh, the northern co—ordinator for the northern co—ordinator for the rejoin eu party, will, good stuff. now joining me in the studio is chief operating officer of the conservative friends of the commonwealth cornell schama. thank you very much indeed. i imagine you have slightly different view. you have more optimistic have slightly more optimistic than john. that quite , than john. that was quite, wasn't yeah, pretty i think wasn't it. yeah, pretty i think if i was speaking specifically some john's points about the european union you've to remember a lot of the stuff he's talking about. churchill was on the basis world war two germany

as you know, protecting ourselves from future wars . ourselves from future wars. right now, the threat isn't european union countries, it is russia is , china. and one thing russia is, china. and one thing this trade deal, not many people are talking is the decoupling away from china. we've seen this practically wise with covid in terms of our implications of being so close china. and one part that we must remember some discussion worries that we are joining us on the fastest economies in the world, malaysia in particular, and vietnam . in particular, and vietnam. they're both projected to grow over 4. european union this year is 0.8. so i think sometimes people like john and other , it's people like john and other, it's quite condescending when we talk these pacific countries , if these pacific countries, if they're small countries or little countries , these little countries, these countries are growing export densely. and the difference again going back from the 1950s and sixties is japan wasn't the country, it was then that it is now. japan is a different japan . that was a japan recovering from hiroshima, recovering know, destroyed now this is one the

strongest and most powerful countries. so i must say he did sound little bit like a little europa to me rather than a little englander . but i do little englander. but i do understand the passion that some people do have for us to have stayed within the european union . but there's also talk of how the us could potentially in the future this trade bloc, this new trade bloc , which could be very trade bloc, which could be very exciting and open up huge amounts of trade, definitely. i think the you know, lots of people have been giving that stat of 0.08% of how much our economy is going to grow. and all this, which admittedly sounds a bit rubbish. it sounds like the problem is it's the same as when we joined the european union in the 1970s. the amount we're doing with amount of trade we're doing with the union compared the european union then compared to more to now considerably more naturally. start naturally. when you start trading in a new bloc, you start at a very low phase and because now it's going to be easiest for us trade with japan, us to trade with japan, australia, is only australia, new zealand is only going if you look at going to grow. so if you look at it right the fact it right today with the fact that we don't a trade agreement with countries or we with all these countries or we have very partial and small

have a very partial and small trade deal that was negotiated with to with the european union and to now we're going to be now where we're going to be growing these countries of influence and those countries is going their influence on going to grow their influence on us is going so .08 us is going to grow so that .08 % just to be a balloon. % is just going to be a balloon. yeah, i'm i was i made the point services about the uk being brilliant to export services. it's not about goods, but even if we were talking about goods, it's as if we don't see made in china absolutely everywhere in the uk it very much is and it seems to me that a lot of commentate is all pretending as , though it is a ludicrous assumption that we could possibly trade , with countries possibly trade, with countries far away from ourselves . i think far away from ourselves. i think trade is different from 19 again, the fifties and sixties in globalised asian we what we don't we didn't live in a globalised world as we do now . globalised world as we do now. and the reality is and the harsh reality is geography is nowhere near as important today as it was 60 years ago. so now , you know, years ago. so now, you know, like you said about china , this like you said about china, this is for a british.

is amazing for a british. they'll be able to explore into markets that they've never been able to export to a great detail to. will open up jobs to. now this will open up jobs for to these countries for us to go in these countries . we talk about financial services and generally japan is one the growing and fastest. when comes to financial services in particular, i think it's again the trade stuff. is this geography argument. it's very short sighted , 30, 40 years, short sighted, 30, 40 years, because for sure , when john because for sure, when john talked about the ships and stuff, is problem in stuff, that is the problem in 2023 it is stuck in the past a little bit perhaps? i think so. i think that mentality , how i think that mentality, how important europe is , i think we important europe is, i think we became for a lot people very entrenched with the european union . we saw that as you know, union. we saw that as you know, we're the most forward thinking group that has changed in the last 20, i'd say even more that it's changed the countries like malaysia, like vietnam . we have malaysia, like vietnam. we have seen a lot about australia and new zealand, but these mexico, even these countries are not the same countries that we used to think about that they are now , think about that they are now, what i would say though, is the

government should be careful of not downplaying all the great trade do have with europe when we go and discover these new opportunities around the world because that is important. we don't eu, we don't want don't want the eu, we don't want to with the to host relationship with the european even if we don't want to be within it. thank you very much indeed. sunil sharma. friends of conservative, friends of the commonwealth. you are the chief operating officer in you do with me. thank you very much indeed. you are watching and listening tv news saturday. sunday with khan and lots more coming up today's in coming up on today's show. in a moment, i'll report to jack carson will tell us all about awareness day after we'll be discussing policy exchange discussing the policy exchange report, which highlighted how some schools letting people some schools are letting people switch under without informing parents. my tweet about this actually up earlier this week with almost 9 million views there it is. cool, old fashioned , but if i were a parent, i'd quite like to know whether my son was showing at school son sam was showing up at school as cement the apparently that is now controversial. so stay tuned

individuals change their behaviour? it's always been a disgusting crime , yes, but very disgusting crime, yes, but very much true. susan says the tories have had many years to sort out so many problems they've done nothing of use . so when i talk nothing of use. so when i talk the talk but sunak stops from walking her. perhaps that's true too. it does seem like they are taking a lot of initiative on this at the moment though. but as you say , it depends on the as you say, it depends on the results on the government's plan. i think that's referring to rwanda. terry says . it sounds to rwanda. terry says. it sounds like a pretty effective policy to me. short and sweet. like it. keep your views coming in. to subscribe to our youtube channel. you're at it. we are at news. you are watching and listening. gb news sunday with me, carver. plenty to me, emily carver. plenty more to come afternoon we'll be come this afternoon we'll be discussing that policy exchange report which highlighted how some letting pupils some schools letting pupils switch gender without informing parents. my tweet about this topic blew up earlier this week . there it is. call me old fashioned, but if i were a parent, i'd quite like to know whether my son sam was showing

up at school as samantha. that's what i tweeted. it was turned out be very controversial . so out be very controversial. so stay tuned to gb news news sunday that .

there's help for households. are you over state pension age? if your weekly income is below £182.60, or £278.70 if you live with a partner, you could be eligible for pension credit, even if you own your home or have savings. it's worth,

on average, £3,500 a year and you could get help with heating bills and more, plus up to £900 in cost of living payments. a bombshell new report has found that many secondary schools are children switch gender without telling their parents. think tank policy exchange found that schools often uncritically accept contested and controversial about gender. i identity schools may be breach of safeguarding rules as , a of safeguarding rules as, a result, the report suggests. just 28% of schools who responded . researchers were responded. researchers were reliably informing parents when a child said they had feelings of gender distress , and a third of gender distress, and a third would not necessarily inform the designated safeguarding lead the school. sounds pretty shocking me, but let's debate this with lgbtq activist and director of

the peter tatchell foundation and the founder conservative women, caroline fisk. thank you very much indeed forjoining me . peter, are you worried that schools may be a firm a child's preferred without telling their . parents. well, the starting point has to be what is in the best interest welfare of the child . and we know that young child. and we know that young trans people who are not affirmed tend to have very levels of anxiety , depression levels of anxiety, depression and even self—harm. so not affirming that gender identity is very damaging and destructive to the young person. so that is why schools are, for the most part , accepting young trans part, accepting young trans people's affirmation of their own gender identity . of course, own gender identity. of course, it is best if schools do with parents in conjunction with the child . but i parents in conjunction with the child. but i think parents in conjunction with the child . but i think they need to child. but i think they need to get permission from the child to

do that because we know there are some parents who are very hostile and prejudiced and would actually verbally harass and even physically violently assault their child if they knew that they were trans. so that would put a young trans person dangen would put a young trans person danger. so we need to not have not have a blank policy, but a selective policy . schools need selective policy. schools need to ask the young person , will it to ask the young person, will it be safe and are you okay for us to discuss this ? your parents? to discuss this? your parents? is that okay? but peter, are you do you not agree that in the vast majority of cases , parents vast majority of cases, parents have their best, have their children's best interests at heart? teachers may care about the children. of course they do. but it's only skin deep most of the time. parents have such more responsibility for that more love, more care than a teacher ever could . really. and this ever could. really. and this goes against fundamental relationship . and it means that relationship. and it means that children are having a with a

teacher . do you not think that teacher. do you not think that slightly alarming ? well, you're slightly alarming? well, you're right. most parents care for and love their child , regardless of love their child, regardless of whether they're trans not. and that's fantastic. but there was a small minority who are very very hurtful and hateful towards trans kids. and it does make those kids depressed, anxious and even in many cases contemplating or even suicide. so we have to avoid we have to avoid that danger. caroline, it seems to me peter is assuming that all of these children at school have genuine gender dysphoria and are genuinely trans. but we know from a lot evidence that is often social contagion in effect going in our schools. i've been a teenage girl. people onto fads we know the number of people saying that they're non—binary. a school age has risen sharply. do you think

that's play here? yes. and i just would like to say first that the statistics narrative that the statistics narrative that peter was referring to about the levels self—harm , about the levels self—harm, these have long been discrete , these have long been discrete, edhed these have long been discrete, edited over and over again. people are bringing up and only this morning, people are bringing up and only this morning , actually, if you this morning, actually, if you look on twitter, there's a debate between justin webb nick robinson and steve chalk had raised the same statistics. he been pointed to the discredited version of this narrative and he has apologised publicly for using an outdated narrative which well , this idea of which well, this idea of self—harm , it's a dangerous self—harm, it's a dangerous narrative and kids themselves are starting to buy into it. it's discredited . and now that it's discredited. and now that we have a very large social media content age and there's a huge number of children buying into this narrative of peter , do into this narrative of peter, do you accept that for some children this just be a phase?

there may be mental health problems going on. there may be a link between autism feeling uncomfortable in your body, particularly for young female . particularly for young female. and this is very real. and if teachers are affirming that they are of a different gender that could set them on the path to irreversible life changing . well irreversible life changing. well no school affirms a young trans person's gender identity. that's what report says. now that is not true. the schools affirm, but they will also counsel that young person, they will refer that young person to various agencies and that to give that young person support . now, all young person support. now, all of these argument against trans people are exactly the same arguments that were used against people 30 or 40 years ago. now people 30 or 40 years ago. now people are saying, oh, there cannot be all gay people. there were coming out as just social contagion . not true. not true. contagion. not true. not true. they often in most cases,

genuine young people . there may genuine young people. there may be some young people, a small minority, who are , you know, minority, who are, you know, going on with the trend or a fad. but that is not and it's very offensive trans people to suggest that that is the case. but hang on caroline, it's not same as coming as gay, homosexual or it's not it, because this could lead to genuine, irreversible social changes. if you go down the path hormones, if you go down the path of surgeries , it is path of surgeries, it is different. it's not the same thing. and i don't like equating it's completely different and it's completely different and it's harmful to sort of equate two and again peter's just using outdated narratives and data. over and over again, look at the cast. over and over again, look at the cast . they say 87% of children cast. they say 87% of children who start to think that they might have been need to have gender dysphoria . they grow out gender dysphoria. they grow out of it , 7% grow gender dysphoria. they grow out of it, 7% grow out of it. so the idea that those children might

instead be a that's being in the wrong body puts them on a pathway towards irreversible damage . it's also ridiculous to damage. it's also ridiculous to conflate and this narrative . conflate and this narrative. peter, do you think that children should be challenged in any way when they suggest to a teacher or to a parent or a guardian some description that they feeling that they were born in wrong body. do you not think that should challenged at all? well, of course it is challenged and questioned , but in and questioned, but in a supportive way. i mean , all the supportive way. i mean, all the agencies that i'm aware of do accept young person's affirmation, but then talk through it, you know, talk about what else is going on in their life and look at all the potential employer and just check a person is affirming correctly who they feel they are. i've got to emphasise all

that schools are doing is accepting a trans young person's trans name and identity that pronouns. that's all they're they're not pushing them on pathway to medical intervention at all. it's simply about what we call social transitioning. thatis we call social transitioning. that is the person affirming in terms of their name and their pronouns and that they have a trans gender identity and that is not harmful, that is not damaging. of course as that young person progresses through life there will be further measures and interventions taken , but only when that young person is absolutely certain . person is absolutely certain. and we know that many people have to wait years and years to get medical interventions. it takes a very long waiting times at. gender identity clinics range from to even eight years and some instances in some parts of the country. so this is not something that's done when in

fact, women fancy and we know trans young people who are affirmed are much happier and where their parents are consulted and supportive parents affirm that their young person is happier and, their new trans identity. well, caroline, we've heard from we've heard about gender clinics not going well. a making big mistakes and pushing towards a reversible surgery. we have seen that. that's why one of the clinics was shut down, i believe. but also in terms of peter says that this is just, you know , there's no harm in you know, there's no harm in doing this. there's no harm in affirming a child's preferred genden affirming a child's preferred gender, their preferred pronouns, etc. etc. but there may well be physical safeguarding issues here when comes to sports, where does the child go when it comes to sports? what about changing rooms? what about toilets . we've rooms? what about toilets. we've seen how some girls , some mixed seen how some girls, some mixed schools , children have schools, children have complained to teachers when

they've tried to introduce gender neutral toilets , for gender neutral toilets, for example . the girls don't like it example. the girls don't like it because they feel safe. well yes. firstly, to go back to peter , social affirmation is not peter, social affirmation is not a neutral act to say to a possibly vulnerable young man to have the adults around him, you know, go along . the idea that he know, go along. the idea that he is a girl to start using know she her pronouns and to use a girl's name for young , you're girl's name for young, you're completely callous . and the idea completely callous. and the idea that a potentially vulnerable young man is actually a woman . young man is actually a woman. so it's a complete sort of derogation of adult duty and of safeguarding to buy into an ideological narrative that this young man has born in the wrong body. and we know in a great many of the cases that that young men might actually be gay. so it's a lot of the time we're putting young people on a pathway to irreversible damage and potential sterilisation . so and potential sterilisation. so it's incorrect to say that

social reformation , a neutral social reformation, a neutral act, and then you've got all the other kids, all the other people in the school who are asked to in the school who are asked to in an ideology, which they don't believe and they don't support, which has grave implications , which has grave implications, and they've got their own freedom of conscience and freedom of conscience and freedom of conscience and freedom of speech, which has be taken into consideration and point to. you have schools allowing vulnerable young boys going into the girls toilets , going into the girls toilets, changing rooms. it's harmful the boy and is harmful for the girls. well, that's all we've got for. thank you very much indeed, peter tatchell there from the peter tatchell foundation. activist and founder of conservatives for women. caroline fisk. this does make me feel quite emotional, actually. i do worry that there are many young children up and this country who are being given poor advice, who are being pushed in direction that could lead irreversible damage and think we need to have another look at our society and question why this is going on. anyway, moving on to something different. me know something different. let me know what about . that, by

what you think about. that, by the way. the government announced planned in the announced a planned rise in the state pension to 68 has been halted for now under the original those born or original plans. those born or after 5th of april 1977 would be the first cohort to work to 68 years. but the work and pensions secretary , the pension age would secretary, the pension age would not be changed until . a further not be changed until. a further review carried review was carried out. a decision is expected 2026 decision is now expected 2026 after the general election . after the general election. director of policy at the people's partnership phil brown joins me. thank you very much indeed. so tell me what's what's going on? what do you make of this? so i think this is a really, really important subject. and any decision bring forward a plan to rise in state pension age must account for everything is actually going on around us. the challenge here and this this rise or delayed rise actually affects me personally too . the challenge personally too. the challenge here is that we've had a pandemic, we've had an invasion in ukraine which has created global interest rate challenges

and of those things need factoring into a change we're going to make that will affect millions of people. so it's a right that we take a step back and whether now is the and decide whether now is the right time or whether there's other things we have to factor in. there's a in. yes. and there's been a debate over the last week, i guess last days about guess the last few days about whether certain types of workers should have a reduced retirement . should they? if, for example, if you're a manual worker. there's obviously a lot of pressure on your body throughout your life. should you therefore be able to retire early compared to someone who was an office worker who doesn't have that a similar strain in that way. do you think that's fair or that, you think that's fair or that, you know, a recipe for bureaucratic , well, a bureaucratic, well, a bureaucratic, well, a bureaucratic nightmare ? well, bureaucratic nightmare? well, that already exists today because certain professions are allowed to retire earlier than other professions . that's true other professions. that's true of policemen, of firemen and several the professions. so there some absolute logic to it . and if you are doing, there some absolute logic to it . and if you are doing , let's . and if you are doing, let's say, a manual job outdoors ,

say, a manual job outdoors, that's going to have a very, very different impact on. your body, too, to someone who sits in office. so i understand in an office. so i understand that. got to frame that. but we've got to frame this around the that in the uk we've got auto enrolment which is part of is actually a really big part of people's provision that people's provision and that serve everyone yet it's been a massive policy success. it's got 11 million people saving into pensions. but we'd really like to see age at which you start saving into the pension. so if you're if you join a workforce and you're under 22, you don't actually get pension contributions given automatically . they have to wait automatically. they have to wait till you reach that age. and equally, there's a salary trigger in there of 10,000 to on an individual job. and this changes we can make that it will really help people improve what they're saving for retirement andifs they're saving for retirement and it's critical we do that because the people's partnership's done research with the institute we the pensions institute and we know that six in ten households on almost two thirds of individuals if you measure them as individuals, are not actually saving into pensions. and you're a member of generation x me.

you've unfortunately got less time to try and solve the problem as well. so we've really got to have a debate around what should be paid into and what the national objectives of pensions should and. we need a should be and. we need a consensus that involves government employers , unions and government employers, unions and workforce. well, should i doing i'm 30 years old. i believe i have some money put away into private pensions . my work just private pensions. my work just a small amount , i imagine. should small amount, i imagine. should i be investing another pension pot at the same time ? probably pot at the same time? probably going to have to work till i'm 85 by the looks of things things . that's a really difficult question to ask. without me treading over an advice boundary . and if i try to get advice foundry, i'm actually breaking the law . so. so i'll tell you the law. so. so i'll tell you personally what you should do . personally what you should do. what i can say is you have a workplace pension provided for you . you'll be paying you. you'll be paying contributions that. you'll also

get a government contribution made into that. and your employer will make making payments too. if you can afford to make more. and i stress only if you can afford to make more contributions. i recognise we're in the middle of a cost of living crisis . then then talk to living crisis. then then talk to your employer because many employers will actually match the extra payments make them. and that is a really good way to start thinking about retirement. i a, it's difficult to i think a, it's difficult to tell a year old to think about something that is decades away, but actually having a debate about state pensions will help us have that. why debates around the fact that the state pension isn't the only pension you're going retirement and going to need in retirement and a pension legislation a state pension legislation probably give probably won't give you a comfortable . thank very much comfortable. thank you very much indeed for joining comfortable. thank you very much indeed forjoining me this indeed for joining me this afternoon . talk about everything afternoon. talk about everything pensions. very much. pensions. thank you very much. phil director of policy phil brown, director of policy at the people's partnership . you at the people's partnership. you are watching and listening gb news sunday with emily carver meet emily carver. lots more coming up on show this coming up on the show this afternoon. we'll to that afternoon. we'll get to that just moment. don't go just in one moment. don't go away. probably politicians

the studio now we've heard that from theo conover about the delays it doesn't look great but is this a brexit issue ? well, is this a brexit issue? well, certainly it's a factor, isn't it? now the home secretary suella braverman has been this morning saying, you suella braverman has been this morning saying , you know, it's morning saying, you know, it's not the case that brexit is to blame for this. and of course there are other factors. so first of all, it's increased demand. of course, easter holidays, there are more people going through. the port of doven going through. the port of dover, there very dover, there was very bad weather which caused weather on france which caused delays cancellations which delays and cancellations which has backlog . but has caused this backlog. but certainly it used to be if were travelling across whilst we were within the eu, we were within the schengen common travel area checks on passports were very cursory if at all, whereas now we are a third country. so if you are in coach of kids, everybody has to get off, they have to have the passport checked, scanned, stamped, etc. so certainly it is a factor. sure, it's not all because of brexit, but brexit has

complicated. and although suella braverman say, well, you know, we left the eu years ago. well certainly we voted to leave nearly what, seven years ago is contract now. we did not germany is going to actually leave till the 30th of january 2020. and then of course, we were plunged straight into covid. and so travel was massively disrupted for a couple of years. so this is probably the first easter that things been sort of back to normal. so the combination of bad weather , big demand and the bad weather, big demand and the new checks caused chaos. i mean, i was sent an article from bbc news website back in 2016. i believe before the result where there were a 14 hour delays for there were a 14 hour delays for the ferries. so this is very much something that does happen regardless of whether we're in the european union or not. it certainly does. what we don't know, certainly i don't know if you know differently is you might know differently is how you know the booths how many of you know the booths for the french control the french border staff are manned.

are they all are all the people that could possibly be working to check passports in this weekend or not? we don't know that. and i guess we don't probably control that either, because i suppose it is to the french, because of course the border is effectively before you get on the ferry when you get off at the other side, you're free to go. yes. and there has been quite a lot of well, there's been a lot going in france. may well be that there weren't the full number of staff there. but don't know . i don't there. but i don't know. i don't know. shall we move to on know. so shall we move to on suella in particular, suella braverman in particular, what she's been saying about, the rwanda policy ? yes. she has the rwanda policy? yes. she has been fiercely defending the government's plan to send people who've crossed channel illegally on school small boats . rwanda on school small boats. rwanda this morning she was confronted with a rather inconvenient fact for the government in that in 2018 there were 12 immigrants who were shot by police

effectively . they'd been effectively. they'd been protesting against food rations which had been cut . they were which had been cut. they were protesting and they were shot and killed . so she was asked, is and killed. so she was asked, is rwanda, a safe country. she's saying that it still is. she's saying, well, that's five years ago. things have since then. she's also stressing that the high court have agreed with the government that it is safe and suitable place because of course there's been court battles going on ever since they first put people on the plane to rwanda. was it last june? and then nobody ended up going. it's back and forth through the courts . and forth through the courts. the latest that the high has the latest is that the high has upheld that the government can send people and of course they are hoping she won't say by the summer, but they all hoping that they will and obviously she's been out there recently visiting, looking at houses that are being built, looking at her telecoms station, basically saying , look, this is a very saying, look, this is a very perfectly suitable place to send people and in breach of our international obligations.

people and in breach of our international obligations . yes. international obligations. yes. i mean, those who have been vehemently opposed to policy from the start, have spoken human rights abuses. this could be quite damaging potentially in terms of selling this policy. well, certainly it back into question is a suitable place to send people, despite government's rather effective pr job that they have been doing. but the government does feel that the majority of the british pubuc that the majority of the british public do want action to be taken on small boat crossings quickly because the fact that taxpayers is spending six £7 million a day on housing these migrants in hotels enrages people because we're the middle of a cost of living crisis. people are struggling with their bills, the cost of food going through roof. and so many of the pubuc through roof. and so many of the public are very angry at government needs to show results now . they want to send now. they don't want to send large of people to large numbers of people to rwanda. they want to act rwanda. what they want is to act as so that people in as a deterrent so that people in france who are thinking of

coming think, you know, i'm not going to take the chance. i've got to stay in france, we talk about millions on hotel about spending millions on hotel accommodation, but course a lot of money has been going to rwanda. so they need to they need make look like need to make it look like there's deterrent or actually need to make it look like the|those deterrent or actually need to make it look like the|those flights1t or actually need to make it look like the|those flights offr actually need to make it look like the|those flights off the tually get those flights off the ground. shall see what ground. but we shall see what happens. very much happens. thank you very much indeed. forster there, indeed. catherine forster there, our political reporter bringing indeed. catherine forster there, ou1up>litical reporter bringing indeed. catherine forster there, ou1up toical reporter bringing indeed. catherine forster there, ou1up to date eporter bringing indeed. catherine forster there, ou1up to date on rter bringing indeed. catherine forster there, ou1up to date on the bringing indeed. catherine forster there, ou1up to date on the latest. g us up to date on the latest. now, i think we are moving on to a discussion about net zero, i believe been lots in the news this week . the government has this week. the government has published its new report on what it's going to do to get us to net zero. there's been intense criticism from and environmental groups of this new net zero plan. the document was drawn up after the high court ruled that the government's existing plans were not sufficient to meet its climate targets. so you go the court is getting involved as usual, a central of the strategy is to store co2 under the north sea . joining is to store co2 under the north sea .joining me now is is to store co2 under the north sea . joining me now is the sea. joining me now is the senior lecturer lecturer in sustainable construction and climate change, john grant.

john, thank you very much indeed for joining me. are you pleased forjoining me. are you pleased this new report, is it a step in the right direction? it's a step in the right direction, but for me, it's very . it heads out in me, it's very. it heads out in certain directions . the, you certain directions. the, you know, our as yet untested at scale and. i think you just mentioned the restoring of carbon carbon dioxide. think it's starting in teeside. this never been done in the scale that that is being proposed . and that that is being proposed. and this is not a new thing. we've been trying to do this because. what a great idea. if we could capture the carbon when we foodstuffs and then just just put it where it came out from but after decades of work it's still proving very challenging because carbon dioxide , quite a because carbon dioxide, quite a small proportion of the atmosphere even though it has a huge effect and catching it and turning it into something that you can then put on the ground, this is really difficult. and then the other part of that was

know increasing wind turbines by a factor of five, which, you know, do. but these these know, we can do. but these these micro nuclear power plants , micro nuclear power plants, nobody really knows about the they said that once we a few they said that once we a few they will only be 2 billion and pulp. i don't know a few means is that 1020. it's just all a bit risky for me . rather go with bit risky for me. rather go with what we know and. sort of reduce sandwich energy we're using and increase the amount of renewable energy we produce to feed that smaller demand. john sound a little bit. a little bit negative, i'd say overall about this plan . a lot of people have this plan. a lot of people have talked about how expensive. it might be for the average brit. the talk of you know encouraging to change their heat pumps even making it obligatory some cases banning petrol and diesel cars. do you ever worry that sometimes the net zero dogma can become a little bit authoritarian? do you

worry about that ever? well if there wasn't a global emergency , then, you know , freedom is , then, you know, freedom is something that i hold dear. but what we've got here is every pound we spend now is going to save five or £6 in the future. i know for a fact that investing in people's homes will, save them money or say it's an investment rather than a cost. and, you know, two weeks ago we were deliver it globally from the united that that report saying that how close we are in this . so saying that how close we are in this. so although it is an expensive investment nobody's denying that it was money. well spent because we will save over time this this cost of living crisis would be a lot less challenging if we were living in houses that only cost it ten of what they currently do to tahe. and that's the sort of research that been delivering houses for

the same price. yeah nearly two years. so you know, this is this narrative of increased costs is true but there's an enormous saving potential, tony, quite pleased with our success as a nation. we very much are a pioneer in this respect. we've dropped our carbon emissions fastest nation in the g20 . fastest nation in the g20. that's brilliant. that should be a plaudit. but i do worry the same time some of the extreme groups i would i would call them, and i think probably a lot of our viewers would agree groups like just stop oil extinction rebellion are going about this the wrong way , seem about this the wrong way, seem to deny any progress and they don't seem to want to focus their efforts. the really big polluting nations say the chinas, the indias of the world. well, it's an interesting point . i'm not sure if we'd be talking if extinction rebellion hadnt talking if extinction rebellion hadn't really brought it the fore. we just be say there's

this problem in the background and i think that their role the to this towards the media is they want there to be light . they want there to be light. they were there they've always said certainly not supportive . said certainly not supportive. nobody likes a fire love especially at four in the morning or asking you to change your light. but but that idea of change is something people really have to get used . i wish. really have to get used. i wish. 0h, really have to get used. i wish. oh, my goodness. i we could have a business as usual strategy , a business as usual strategy, but we can't. business as usual is going to cost us billions. and this idea of what about what about india is an interesting but it's just that we're just over 2% if you include our imports as well if you add together over 2% countries of the 200 countries that are that bear a big chunk of the global. that's true. all of them . yes, that's true. all of them. yes, that's that's that's very true.

you make a good point. say, you know, if all the if all the smaller nations cut their emissions, then we'd be in a better place arguably. but i was speaking to a young activist just stop oil other day and she seemed to dismiss my argument when i said surely as a country is only responsible for a small amount emissions. we should be in adaptation . and this is also in adaptation. and this is also what the climate change committee said in their report, because if we were to stop oil , because if we were to stop oil, oil and gas, stop all carbon emissions tomorrow, i mean, arguably we'd starve and not be able to our homes freeze . but able to our homes freeze. but even if we did that , the other even if we did that, the other nafions even if we did that, the other nations would still be contributing masses . so we contributing masses. so we should be concentrating more of our efforts on adapting because we can't affect the global temperature alone. but adaption is great. no i don't think anybody doesn't want adapt. it's just that this has to be this

isn't binary can't. we can adapt and we can actually do something positive . and you have to positive. and you have to understand, i've been over in in china and i and i teach a number of indians students and they all want to change. and this is our opportunity here in the uk, we started the industrial revolution 250 years ago and we've got some fantastic exports that we can with technology clean, you know, very advanced . clean, you know, very advanced. and we can we can export back to these countries that they do to change. they don't want to burn the world. they understand i know you might deny based but they understand that using vast amounts of coal is going to cost us all. they just can't see a way out of that and still feed populations too. and this is our opportunity and you know, you're quite right. let's out there, let's talk these countries like export technology saying let's export technology saying let's export on know how and make some money. you i know communist i really like country to be

trading somebody to enter our country . i'm sorry to interrupt country. i'm sorry to interrupt i'm sorry to interrupt you mate. flow but i like to hear that as positive vision export news , positive vision export news, green technologies, fantastic good stuff. nice to hear you speak positively about the industrial revolution , of industrial revolution, of course, that has extended our life expectancy by years and years. the benefits of that. thank you very much indeed. john grant, senior in sustainable construction and climate change. now we're going to be speaking to an energy consultant from . to an energy consultant from. what logic, catherine ? what logic, catherine? catherine, thank you very much indeed.i catherine, thank you very much indeed. i don't know if you were listening to that last bit there of my conversation with john, but the emphasis on new technologies , this new report technologies, this new report from the government is dependent on those technologies doing well. i guess . yes, it is . i well. i guess. yes, it is. i would agree with what he had to say about them being unproven. i'm therefore this reliance on them being quite a risky strategy. i have big concerns about energy security in the

medium term or even in the near term in the next sort of from now until the end of this decade, we could very tight conditions . the electricity conditions. the electricity system in the winter and sometimes even in the summer last during the heatwave we actually had a pretty tight system as well. and of these new technologies are going to contribute that in any way. we're seeing coal plants closing a large part of our nuclear fleet closing . and in fact, by fleet closing. and in fact, by the summer of 2028 will only have one nuclear power station running based on the current schedule. i think this is schedule. and i think this is a big cause for concern. so how do you think the government should be that ? do you be approaching that? do you think should scrap the think they should scrap the target altogether ? what should target altogether? what should they be doing if what they're doing now is wrong ? well, i doing now is wrong? well, i think the targets are pretty unachievable . and if you look at unachievable. and if you look at the strategy that have come out in this week, there's really very much that's new there. and i'm quite concerned about the way some of these targets are framed if you read the framed because if you read the documents, the language is all

we're to have up to 24 we're going to have up to 24 gigawatts of nuclear by 2050. for example. well sounds like for example. well it sounds like a me rather the a limit to me rather than the targets i'm these things are in some ways too remote we need to be having concrete plans for maintaining energy security in every up until 2050 and beyond. and i'm not sure that the strategy at the moment really achieves that. and what about nuclear we've heard lots of talk about britain becoming a nuclear powerhouse it seems that every project seems to run massively overin project seems to run massively over in terms of time and in terms of the money spent . it is terms of the money spent. it is always much more , we're told, always much more, we're told, initially. but do you nuclear is future as our baseload for energy system . yes, absolutely. energy system. yes, absolutely. i think we a strong nuclear fleet in order to support having renewable energy because obviously renewables are not something you can control. you can't control. it's going to be sunny and windy. can't control. it's going to be sunny and windy . so you need sunny and windy. so you need that nuclear generation to be

developed alongside that. the problem is we haven't been making very good technology . making very good technology. we've been relying on the european pressurised water reactor, which is edf is really failing to deliver in europe none of its projects have been yet and they're all very delayed and very over budgets. i think we need to be making better technology choices. we should at things that have already been delivered advanced. boiling water reactors were built in japan in under five years on time and on budget before the fukushima disaster. i don't see any good reason why we shouldn't just that and i think it just do that and i think it would have a higher chance of than relying this really unproven technology that is trying to pursue . yes, i do trying to pursue. yes, i do worry and i'm sure people at home do as well, that sometimes the government isn't best at the government isn't the best at picking when. it comes the government isn't the best at pi

home secretary suella braverman has announced new measures to tackle exploited in tackle child sexual exploited in the grooming gangs writing for the grooming gangs writing for the on sunday, she revealed her mission to ensure there really is no hiding place for the evil gangs grooming vulnerable gangs grooming our vulnerable girls for of them in girls for all of them in announced, those working with children have a legal to children will have a legal to report signs suspicions . report signs or suspicions. sexual abuse she stated that rishi sunak will set out further measures to tackle the grooming gang problem to . joining me now gang problem to. joining me now to discuss this further is gb news documentary filmmaker charlie peters. charlie, thank you very much indeed. will this be very warmly welcomed victim groups and those victims of the grooming gangs. groups and those victims of the grooming gangs . absolutely well grooming gangs. absolutely well so the response i've heard from many of the survivors and campaigners i work with is one of cautious optimism , because, of cautious optimism, because, of cautious optimism, because, of course, over the years they have been time and again. but with these announced , there is with these announced, there is certainly a feeling that something serious could be on the horizon . the commitment to the horizon. the commitment to mandatory reporting we've heard

today is significant . it is today is significant. it is actually possibly , i think, the actually possibly, i think, the biggest turning point in this national scandal that we've seen the many decades that it's been going on. and i think we should look forward to tomorrow announcement with a great degree of optimism and, because it seems to me now seems entirely clear to me now that government recognises that the government recognises this after many of the this issue after many of the stories that is run in stories that gb news is run in the few months and they the last few months and they might finally have some strategies getting a grip on it. yes, must. thank you for yes, i must. well, thank you for . bringing so much attention to this issue, long overdue. i think people would agree . what think people would agree. what was quite interesting about her article in the mail on sunday was how frank she was about, of the facts , talking about how the facts, talking about how this mostly young females white predominately who were being targeted, talking how perpetrators were all british, parkhurst , dani talking about parkhurst, dani talking about how the authority had failed time and time again to safeguard the girls . there are still the girls. there are still people who seem deny that this

is an issue in this way in terms of perpetrators being mostly british pakistani. why do you think that is? well, the reaction today in many of the media and indeed commentary has been extremely disappointing , been extremely disappointing, have seen many of the leading figures on the left come out and essentially tarnish what suella braverman has said as racist, remarkably , pointing out her remarkably, pointing out her claims as as being extreme racism . in one case i saw this racism. in one case i saw this morning . well, the facts are morning. well, the facts are painful , but morning. well, the facts are painful, but the morning. well, the facts are painful , but the truth morning. well, the facts are painful, but the truth is that british pakistanis are hugely overrepresented in this kind of beast. it's true that the most child abusers in, britain, are white, but that's what you'd expect a majority white country. but when it comes to grief localised , child sexual localised, child sexual exploitation , we find that exploitation, we find that people from south asian backgrounds and pakistanis in sometimes over times more likely to be prosecuted for this kind of abuse. so it's clear that

there is a cultural and ethnicity problem at play here and many, i think, have been very keen to play that down over the years . and it's very the years. and it's very refreshing. very refreshing to finally have a minister is not afraid to take that fight to those people. yes, she certainly is. she does call a spade a spade it seems. do you have any idea what these extra that the prime minister could be about announce could look like . well announce could look like. well i think i've been campaigning for a few policies and ideas in my own coverage and my own work in this space. and i think if your viewers want see a hint of what might be coming tomorrow, they should very much check out grooming gangs and shame. the gb news documentary broadcast in february. might find some february. they might find some policy proposals that we could see possibly tomorrow. well, there you go. if you haven't watched charlie peters, fantastic documentary on grooming gangs, it is a must see and it is available all, of

course, on our youtube channel. you give it a watch. thank you very much indeed. charlie peters, the gb documentary peters, the gb news documentary filmmaker. right now you are watching and listening to news sunday with me, emily carver. we've got lots more coming up on today's show. our reporter, jeff has caught up with a 13 year old boy who's been camping in boy who's been camping out in his garden for three years his back garden for three years to money charity. to raise money for charity. i think he'll surprised at just think he'll be surprised at just how he's raised after how much money he's raised after that. we'll discuss the times report highlighting so many report highlighting why so many gp's and staff gp's are going and why staff attention in the nhs is reaching attention in the nhs is reaching a point. all of that coming up. the first let's get the weather with craig. hello, i'm kate snow and here is the latest forecast from the met as we go for the next few days. for most of us, it's going to be dry, plenty of sunshine, but that will certainly lead to some frosty nights , here's the nights still, here's the situation. we've got high pressure generally charge of the weather, keeping things settled, but fronts close but weather fronts always close by the north of here, by across the north of here, still the splashes of still the of some splashes of rain from time to time. so the

see some rain arrive in here and that may well also just arrive into west of scotland the into far west of scotland as the night goes on. but elsewhere, under skies, another under the clear skies, another frosty to come with again frosty night to come with again in countryside, temperatures in the countryside, temperatures properly two, properly to around minus two, maybe three degrees . maybe even minus three degrees. but will again give us a but that will again give us a fairly lovely start across england and wales and also eastern scotland and a very little changes as we go through the of the but for the course of the day. but for western scotland, northern ireland risk , ireland here always the risk, some rain and this some splashes of rain and this rain will eventually move in parts of the country as go into the middle of the week .

welcome back. you're watching and listening to tv news sunday with me emily coleman. and before the break we were talking about a boy in the tent and do, in fact, have jeff moody, who's reporting at the height of the first lockdown whenever was going inside , ten year old max going inside, ten year old max woozy went into the garden and been there ever since. it was really strange at first. i think the first six months i probably struggled just knowing that he was out there and you know, in

that we had a couple of storms with, thunder and lightning. so that was very and that was just the way life that his goal was to raise £100 for the north devon hospice . instead he's devon hospice. instead he's raised hundred thousand pounds and counting. my favourite camping out the rugby stadium's so sandy parks the exeter chiefs stadium and twickenham so the inglenook estate in the enable i this is going to be it from tomorrow afternoon this going to be my favourite moment. yeah it's his last night canvas and to celebrate broomhill estate near barnstable has its grounds for the mother of all camping festivals up to 500 people sharing maccies last night i'm happy with the way the day is turning out. we've got tonnes of people to hive of activity music , hog roast food trucks , a , hog roast food trucks, a silent disco in the woods a party bus with ten deejays. it's just a lot on culminating in and

a good night's sleep max and those brave enough to out with them. brave indeed it pulled down but . max them. brave indeed it pulled down but. max is used to that the night i remember it was storm beatrice. i had to sleep out because we were a bit worried about the wind blowing away and the storm. we have the house policy is named storm. i have sleep with him. i didn't have to sleep with him. i didn't get wink of sleep all night because it was noisy. he because it was so noisy. he snorts throughout the night. that's recollection , to store that's my recollection, to store it his head, he's says. it in his head, he's says. globsec sausages snore, so he's making now. after three making things now. after three years, is calling a day with years, max is calling a day with a mixture of emotions all around. nothing to nothing. the most natural thing actually trying to at least get back into what used to be non normal from being able to sleep inside ehhen being able to sleep inside either. and do your normal routine. yeah yeah. it's going to be a huge adjustment because if you think he's 13 so you know three years is almost a quarter of his life so that's a big chunk of time that that's just been unknown. well, max says

he's lots more adventures planned and lots more money to raise jeff moody. gb news and a wholesome report there from moody reminds me, i used to camp out in the back garden as a child, but i'd invariably end up coming back into the house, into my real bed in about well within a couple hours. but it was fun while it lasted. i certainly couldn't do 3 hours anyway. moving on the nhs, it is under greater pressure than ever in its 75 year history, patients ambulances queuing outside a&e departments. more than 7 million people on waiting lists. the political focus has been on emergency care. the times is now reporting that the crisis in general practise is every as catastrophic, with more than 1.2 million people waiting longer than a month to see a gp. with so much pressure, more, more doctors are deserting the nhs . doctors are deserting the nhs. those who remain are faced with even more of a workload . health even more of a workload. health and social affairs editor at the

express, lucy johnson, joins me now. lucy, thank you very much indeed for joining now. lucy, thank you very much indeed forjoining me this. now. lucy, thank you very much indeed forjoining me this . so indeed for joining me this. so how bad is it getting ? well, gp how bad is it getting? well, gp burnout out is a very real problem . it's been coming a long problem. it's been coming a long time. we have more communities. so people don't turn to their neighbours sort of help and support. we have an ageing and have a population with more health problems. but it's got a lot worse, more recently and i think some of the problems have been exacerbated by covid and by the fair messaging and by lockdown . and i think that's lockdown. and i think that's fractured our communities even more. we've got a lot of people with mental health problems that are going to see the gp a lot of people suffering because of cost of crisis . people are of living crisis. people are even going in for help forms and food , you know, needing food and food, you know, needing food and that sort of thing. so the gp's are actually having to deal with are actually having to deal with

a whole range of things that. they weren't actually set up to deal with. and so while gp demand for gp's gone up considerably , the actual supply considerably, the actual supply of gps is going down, it's dropping. we've lost sort of, i think it's about about 2% a yeah think it's about about 2% a year. so it is a serious problem. there's not always so much sympathy for gp's as there is for, say, nurses or junior doctors because they can earn a very, very good salary . but i've very, very good salary. but i've been seeing more and more how it's not just junior doctors and nurses now are thinking about, well upping sticks and leaving and going to, let's say australia or america or wherever because they seem to be getting a better work life balance is retention of staff well across the nhs, but in gp's really getting to a point because of the money, the work life balance , i think it is an absolute

crisis and i think gp's are complaining that they feel overwhelmed . they have to fill overwhelmed. they have to fill in a lot of forms for funding streams of money from . the streams of money from. the government. so there's a lot of admin they have to do and have so many people with so many complex problems , it's very complex problems, it's very difficult for them to deal with it. and when do try and deal with it and people then there are the waiting lists that mentioned earlier 7.2 million on the waiting list. people can't get referred quickly or easily and, then they need support from their gp's while they wait. they're often in pain , needing they're often in pain, needing sort of support with whatever it is. if they need operations , you is. if they need operations, you know, they'll need support to help them. so we get through that. so, but, but from the other point of view, from patient's point of view, patient said, feeling really cross as well and i think that increases the animosity between and some patient . so i think gp's are patient. so i think gp's are reporting a lot more aggression

towards them but patients are feeling because they can't get to see their . they can't get to see their. they can't get face to face appointments. it's very, very difficult you can't call a gp, you have to wait for them to call you back and that patients frustrated that they are not able to see gp's in good time . so they're also not time. so they're also not suffering. you know as well . mm. suffering. you know as well. mm. i mean we're so used to being able to get things on demand now it seems so archaic to have to wait any longer than a couple of days to get such an appointment . i do worry though, there's also been the problem. perhaps of so many gp's going part time quite quickly, which presumably makes it more difficult to have the around the clock. around the clock service that need . clock service that need. absolutely and that is a new trend and i think there's been a change in culture and maybe you know the work home and the lockdowns and the virtual consultations has sort of

exacerbated that. but gp's sort of ten, 20 years ago would believe that would have to do 14 hour days for five days a week. and rightly or wrongly they're now deciding well actually they want to spend more time at home, they want to spend time with families growing up, families and a lot of gp's are doing two days of nhs work and then sort of joining up with friends and doing a few private work so they can make money on top. so it is true that is a trend and actually because we don't have a proper weekend service that sort of bunches up the problems that hit the later on in the week . hit the later on in the week. but the problem is, is as know, i've often told if the gp services collapse , the nhs will services collapse, the nhs will collapse because that is where patients mostly their care most with clinicians with the nhs is in gp surgeries, they are the

gatekeepers and i think there's about 340 million consults patients a year. so they do a lot of work, but it's up fails which you know, it's looking you know it's not the same as it was then. then the whole system won't work . yes. and there's won't work. yes. and there's a huge number of these gp's who are doing private consultation where they can make some quick money on the side. it's very very easy if you've got a spare 30 to £50 to get a private via zoom . but of course many zoom. but of course many vulnerable patients will need that face to face time. thank you very much. health and social affairs editor at the sunday express, johnson there express, stacey johnson there talking the crisis talking us through the crisis recruitment , crisis and recruitment, crisis and retention crisis the nhs . it retention crisis in the nhs. it comes gp's. i wonder how much comes to gp's. i wonder how much sympathy have for gp's. they sympathy you have for gp's. they do paid a lot, but do get paid rather a lot, but perhaps they suffer from a rather large workload to now and anti—monarchist claims the official portraits of the king are scandalous at the time spending cuts ministers have been accused losing the plot after setting aside £8 million to offer every public body a

free portrait of charles i. how lovely . in a move that drew lovely. in a move that drew criticism, a bid complaints of shrinking budgets, the cabinet minister oliver dowden, said it was part of plans to celebrate the new reign and bring the together. joining me now is the former royal butler talking charles, prince harry and prince william , harold grant. thank you william, harold grant. thank you much indeed. i have been seeing some sort of snooty messages , some sort of snooty messages, perhaps on on twitter and in the media. people aren't too impressed . but £8 million could impressed. but £8 million could be spent on showcasing the new king. good afternoon, emily. thank you for and i likewise seen similar comments and. part of me completely understands those concerns because obviously in recent times there's been a cost of living crisis. and then suddenly he has this orchard. the cost of going to the taxpayer, that's obviously going to appear in skills public building courts and the like . so building courts and the like. so i can the argument that it's a

lot of money, but historically this is not unusual. we've had portraits of monarchs hung in pubuc portraits of monarchs hung in public buildings . portraits of monarchs hung in public buildings. i'm sure a lot of us remember a late queen. often you go schools, police stations, court , and you'd see stations, court, and you'd see the portrait of the late queen. so basically it's just continue, not tradition, but obviously these things cost money is a lot of money. i don't with that at all, but obviously feel that this is money that's to be well spent by having this budget. i also understand it's to bring the country together again. it's a bit of a show unity with a bit of a show of unity with a new king. i think some people just don't like money being spent , things that are deemed to spent, things that are deemed to be patriotic. i imagine that there's a strong correlation between the people who were who who didn't want this money to be spent on on these portraits and they all and also being monarchists themselves i imagine it's the same people it does sometimes like institution is under attack and the monarchy

certainly does come under a of pressure and strain and sometimes abuse . agree. i mean sometimes abuse. agree. i mean this is the thing always saddens me because there's a lot of money is spent throughout the year on different things. i think the things we hear money being on and we got upset being spent on and we got upset about other things i about it. there's other things i think some that the money think that some that the money spent on and this is one of those things i think you know we're this country that we're lucky in this country that we've monarchy. a late we've got a monarchy. a late queen even friends queen was loved even friends that say were not that if i can say were not monarchists or supports the royal family. still the royal family. they still the queen. and the one thing about the royal family, think the royal family, i think everybody would is it everybody would agree, is it bnngs everybody would agree, is it brings together, brings the country together, always has and it always always has done and it always will and is a, i think, will do. and is a, i think, quite an important because it is of it's also educating the younger generation by having the portrait of the king schools because it's important because obviously it's important the younger generation understand and be understand the history and be proud the history the proud of the history and the country you it's the thing country you know, it's the thing i sometimes get upset with is that on st george's day, i never see enough union being see enough union jacks being flown that kind flown around and that kind of

thing. i, i can feel we thing. and i, i can feel we should, should of should, we should take a bit of pride in our other countries. do i think we should, as and we're lucky have a royal lucky enough to have a royal family have a king as wonderful as i'm a little bit biased because him but as i'm a little bit biased be

elections, folks. i a spokesman for republicans overseas uk sarah elliott joins me now to discuss . sarah, thank you very discuss. sarah, thank you very much for . discuss. sarah, thank you very much for. coming on the show again . now i've been seeing lots again. now i've been seeing lots of analysis of what's been going on and it seems like some people think that this actually may play think that this actually may play in his favour when it comes to the presidential campaign and all eyes are on trump. he can say he's a victim of a political . well legal, politicised , etc, . well legal, politicised, etc, etc. yes . mean it . well legal, politicised, etc, etc. yes. mean it is playing into his favour. his polling numbers have doubled in 24 hours since the indictment was announced and. he is beating his potential rival, ron desantis by a large spread. now and most of the country , including the country, including independents, 66% of americans believe that this is a politically motivated indictment . and so a lot rests on alvin

bragg. the district attorney's hands to really without a reasonable doubt that mr. trump here has committed a crime a serious crime . being such serious crime. being such a partisan figure in american politics and that he's running for office against sitting president , you know, it really president, you know, it really has to be persuasive that this is not a political prosecution. so you you're suggesting that that support is actually growing for donald trump while all this is going on. and 66% of americans, that is a huge proportion who think that this is politically motivated . is is politically motivated. is that because of the lawyers, the judges in new york, they said , judges in new york, they said, did they not, that this was one of their aims to get trump? exactly i mean, they've run for office , put trump behind bars. office, put trump behind bars. this has been a major focal

point , specifically of point, specifically of a district attorney and the state attorney general of new york. but previous district attorney , but previous district attorney, manhattan said there was not a strong case pursue. even the feds said there's not a strong case to pursue here and has led a go. former new york democrat andrew cuomo said this is not worth pursuing either. this is not going to get him behind bars. it's a very difficult to . bars. it's a very difficult to. case prove intent that trump paid that money, hush money just to protect his presidential campaign , not just to protect campaign, not just to protect his family or business interests. so it sounds extremely technical there . 30 extremely technical there. 30 indictments rumoured to be charged against and so analysts saying it's for each payment to stormy daniels that he's getting indicted for. i mean, perhaps

they have some major piece of evidence was brought up during the grand jury hearing that we don't know about. it should be released on tuesday with the arraignment and mr. trump when he will go to new york and turn himself in the fingerprints, etc. thank you very much indeed. sorry to you short there, but thatis sorry to you short there, but that is how it goes. thank you very much indeed, sir. eliot spokesperson for the republicans overseas . as you you've been overseas. as you you've been watching listening to gb news sunday with me, emily carver, thatis sunday with me, emily carver, that is all we've got time for today. show will be back today. the show will be back next weekend at 1 pm. next weekend on sunday at 1 pm. i'll be back. first, i'll i'll be back. but first, i'll leave with craig for weather leave you with craig for weather . hello, i'm kate snow. and here is latest forecast from the met office as we go for the next few days. for most of us, it's going to be with plenty of to be dry with plenty of sunshine, that will sunshine, but that will certainly to some frosty certainly lead to some frosty nights . so here's nights still. so here's the situation got pressure situation we've got pressure generally charge of weather, generally in charge of weather, keeping things settled. but weather fronts close by. weather fronts always close by. across of here, still across the north of here, still the of splashes of the risk of some splashes of rain from time to time.
