very,— politics, but it's gone down very, very— politics, but it's gone down very, very badly. 3 very, very badly. even labour's john mcdonnell saying we are better than this. what's all the meme— better than this. what's all the inside story— better than this. what's all the inside story ep— better than this. what's all the inside story on this— s?" what's all the inside story on this one? well i agree— inside story on this one? well i agree with— inside story on this one? well i agree with john— inside story on this one? well i agree with john mcdonnell. i think— agree with john mcdonnell. i ththk thet— agree with john mcdonnell. i think that labour— agree with john mcdonnell. i think that labour should- agree with john mcdonnell. i think that labour should be better, better than this. and i think the actual tweets themselves are appalling . and themselves are appalling. and what is so odd about it is that labour really does have a good story to tell about tory failure over crime figures . but what over crime figures. but what they've chosen is a bad way to tell it . i they've chosen is a bad way to tell it. i mean, it's simply not credible that rishi sunak is against jailing child abusers or people carrying guns , but that people carrying guns, but that the ministry of justice official figures are appalling. the tory record on crime is really bad and that is what i think that labour should have concentrated on rather than trying to do this personal attack against rishi sunak. you know , nigel, if sunak. you know, nigel, if politics is all about timing , politics is all about timing, the timing was also terrible , the timing was also terrible, wasn't it? because don't forget this week there's a big announcement about clamping down
12:08 pm

12:09 pm
keir starmer was smeared by bofis keir starmer was smeared by boris johnson over jemmy savile , which was completely unfair and totally inaccurate . there's and totally inaccurate. there's and totally inaccurate. there's an interesting story on the huffington post today. nigel which says that the labour party have taken advice from the labour party down under in australia and also taken advice from america. it looks like this kht— from america. it looks like this kht et— from america. it looks like this kht et eh— from america. it looks like this kind of on the— from america. it looks like this kind of on the cobbles,- ' 3.3 it looks like this kind of on the cobbles, rough ent— kind of on the cobbles, rough and tuhhte— kind of on the cobbles, rough and tumble attack style politics is and tumble attack style politics he gehg— and tumble attack style politics he gehhg te— and tumble attack style politics he gehhg to mark— and tumble attack style politics is going to mark how the labour party— is going to mark how the labour petty whth— is going to mark how the labour party will communicate in the tutute. — party will communicate in the future. they're— party will communicate in the future. "3p ”3; 3 3 party will communicate in the future. "hip ”3; 3 3 3 "t; future. they're getting dirty. well, i hope it doesn't mean keir starmer did promise that they would bring back integrity and honesty. politics and that's what he should be doing . so if what he should be doing. so if he was talking about what labour would do on crime , the 13,000 would do on crime, the 13,000 extra neighbourhood police , for extra neighbourhood police, for instance, plus support officers, how he was going to cut waits for the rape trials, which are now standing at three years. those are the kind of positive things he could he could have
12:10 pm
actually gone for and hope we're not importing an american style politics to britain or even an australian one. you know what we want is british politics and we want is british politics and we want it to be clean. i think you're right. and i wonder actually how the british audience will react to that kind of stuff. i mean, i'd like american politics. i like the cut and thrust it's cut and thrust of it. it's a very dynamic, different, very dynamic, very different, very dynamic, very different, very prospect. but very and raw prospect. but i think we're a bit more think brits, we're a bit more stiff lip, aren't we? i stiff upper lip, aren't we? i don't think going to stiff upper lip, aren't we? i. don't think-going to land don't think it's going to land that— don't think it's going to land that-cotte— don't think it's going to land that-could-even. that well. could this even increase rishi's- that well. could this even increase rishi's popularity, that well. could this even incrkthink? 1i's popularity, that well. could this even incrkthink? will pularity, that well. could this even incrkthink? will p you think? well, i mean, the whole is i'm not sure it whole thing is i'm not sure it actually increases popularity, but it doesn't do very much for keir starmer's popularity. i mean, the whole point was that keir starmer is setting himself up as mr. clean. he's talking about introducing an ethics commission . if he becomes prime commission. if he becomes prime minister to police all the various things that go wrong in british politics. so to then slide into the idea of a personal attack on rishi sunak erg, he's just got this one wrong. and the other problem
12:11 pm
slightly is that politicians, when they make a mistake , they when they make a mistake, they tend to stick to their guns and not correct it . and i think that not correct it. and i think that that keir starmer could have shown himself to be above that by simply saying, look, we got this message wrong . we're sorry this message wrong. we're sorry about that. we're pulling the these various tweets from now on and we won't do it again. that would have actually gained him much more respect from the electorate. okay another story breaking now concerning story. two brits, two two sisters have been shot dead in israel . can been shot dead in israel. can you tell us a bit more about that, please? nigel yeah, i mean, it always seems like an endless cycle that that happens in the middle east, that this started off from tensions on temple mount and the arrests of muslims there . we've got the muslims there. we've got the reason, the reason that the it is it has gone so wrong is because very unusually ramadan
12:12 pm
and passover are coinciding coincide adding this year so where the temple mount in jerusalem which is where the three major monotheistic religions actually coincide . religions actually coincide. it's one of my favourite places to visit, but obviously not at the moment. but this has actually increased tensions. and then we see the sort of typical escalation that follows that, that you then get rocket attacks from hamas on israel. that's followed by airstrikes by the israelis on on hamas. followed by airstrikes by the israelis on on hamas . and it israelis on on hamas. and it does seem to be that we go through this all the time without ever getting to a long term solution . yeah, certainly, term solution. yeah, certainly, nigel, this has been a backdrop to my entire life. this situation in israel shows no signs of abating. thank you for joining us. that was gb news senior political commentator nigel nelson. he'll be back later on in the show. okay, let's take a look back at some of biggest stories the of the biggest stories of the week. of the big ones week. now, one of the big ones of has been the clean of the week has been the clean
12:13 pm
up metropolitan police up of the metropolitan police force and serving met police officers have been taken away from tackling serious crime and terrorism instead are told terrorism and instead are told to investigate wrongdoing within their own force. it comes after their own force. it comes after the branded the force's branded institutionally racist, homophobic and misogynistic. in a report last. well, joining me now is former met detective peter bleksley . peter, another peter bleksley. peter, another week— peter bleksley. peter, another week ,— peter bleksley. peter, another week , another— peter bleksley. peter, another week , another bad— peter, another week , another bad news story for week, another bad news story for the met. — week, another bad news story for the met. hhhe— week, another bad news story for the met. this this— week, another bad news story for the met. this this one is astonishing— the met. this this one is astonishing . - the met. this this one is astonishing . 3 �*00 the met. this this one is- astonishing . pulling 100 staff astonishing. pulling 100 staff off of dealing with serious crime to investigate their own insiders. 689 are having their their records re—examined . their records re—examined. they're going to be re vetted. there's a there's an implication that some may fail, that 161 criminal records, including dnnk criminal records, including drink driving, criminal records, including drink driving , violence, drugs drink driving, violence, drugs and criminal damage. what's going on at and criminal damage. what's gehhg en at the— and criminal damage. what's going on at the met?- 3�*3 3 33 what's going on at the met? yes 333 3 33 what's going on at the met? yes 333 3.3 33 what's going on at the met? yes 33334: going on at the met? yes well, the teeth— going on at the met? yes well, the reason that— going on at the met? yes well, the reason that this significant number of what i hope are going to be very capable detective moves have been taken away from serious and organised crime and terrorism to investigate their own is an indicator of the size
12:14 pm
of the problem that faces the commissioner and the met in general . they have so many wrong general. they have so many wrong doers within their ranks . but doers within their ranks. but the flip side of that is we could say this is a positive move by the commissioner because he has very publicly said on a number of occasions is that he is determined to sort this organisation out. and this would appear to be a sign of his commitment to doing that. don't you think most people— 3 33 3 don't you think most people would wette— you think most people would would reasonably ask the gpeetheh— would reasonably ask the gpeetheh ht— would reasonably ask the question if you think talking ghett— question if you think talking about thhhge— question if you think talking about things like drink driving , whheh— about things like drink driving , which everyone— about things like drink driving , which everyone knows wrong, , which everyone knows is wrong, eutehk— , which everyone knows is wrong, eptetklpehheeheh— , which everyone knows is wrong, surelylpoliceman or— surely a policeman or policewoman does violence, how did policewoman does violence, how the—peee- policewoman does violence, how the—peee the- did these people pass the vetthhg— did these people pass the vetting process in the first pheeee— vetting process in the first pheeee — vetting process in the first place? -think- vetting process in the first place? -think thel vetting process in the first- place? -think the vetting place? well, i think the vetting standards slipped dramatically and catastrophically in recent years because, of course , there years because, of course, there was this need to hit the 20,000 figure that boris johnson so publicly stated recruiting an extra 20,000 police officers back into police throughout the
12:15 pm
uk. well, they weren't that actually extra police officers . actually extra police officers. they were an effort to try and replace the numbers that have been lost during a decade or more of austerity and of course the lack of police numbers in terms of officers has had a dramatic and catastrophic effect on the level of policing provided to everybody throughout the country . but there appears the country. but there appears now to be widespread political agreement that we need more police. but don't you think this is a great time to be a criminal 7 is a great time to be a criminal ? i mean, if they're if they're taken frontline staff away from actual policing to police, the police force, this is surely open season for serious crime. i think now is a great time to be serving in the metropolitan police or or joining the metropolitan police . and i'll metropolitan police. and i'll tell you why. i think that is the case, because there is undoubtedly and there has to be unequivocally there has to be a revolution within this organisation to get its act together. policing is so important to us all. where
12:16 pm
soever we live that it has to be done and got right now . if done and got right now. if you're within the met and you're a decent officer and you're a decent human being or you're thinking of joining you , may thinking of joining you, may i hopein thinking of joining you, may i hope in 2 or 3 short years be able to say i was part of the solution and not the problem. and you might be able to walk with your head held high into any kind of arena to any audience and say, i helped get the met police back on track . so the met police back on track. so there's been a lot of talk about splitting the metropolitan police up into just taking care of the city and then the outer boroughs. is that the way to go forward or should be overseen forward or should it be overseen as one entity as it is now strategically, a strategically, that would be a catastrophe. why? because the catastrophe. why? because as the metropolitan covers all metropolitan police covers all of london, including, you know, out to the suburbs, where it then has boundaries with kent and surrey and the like . and and surrey and the like. and because so much crime involves travel by criminals, a criminal
12:17 pm
will travel from east london to west london to carry out their crime from north to south and all other points. if you broke london up into four separate police forces , it would actually police forces, it would actually be five because we've got the city of london policing the square mile different and there might be different radio systems. for example , and systems. for example, and officers would not be able to communicate . and strategically communicate. and strategically in terms of large demonstrations , public order, we all remember the riots of not so many years ago and policing large events like football and the like . like football and the like. strategically, it would be catastrophic . yeah. peter catastrophic. yeah. peter blatcher, thanks for that insight today. i really hope there's a way forward that's positive. and joining me now is a dci for the met's a former dci for the met's police, bent. good police, perry bent. and good morning you, perry. good morning to you, perry. good afternoon. sorry, i'm happy easter, way, is there easter, by the way, is there signs that this can be turned around ? we hear the time around? we hear all the time about problems us, but for about the problems us, but for example, the rank and file example, are the rank and file officers up for this fight? do they want to reform or is the met's basically doomed ? i mean,

12:44 pm
of the british empire medal, which recognises contributions to the community at a local level and so this really is genuinely giving local communities a presence at the coronation, which i think is excellent, as you've had in your news report earlier, you've got people like max woosey, this boy who got into the guinness book of records for sleeping outside in a tent for three years to raise money for his grandmother's hospice . another grandmother's hospice. another couple who ran a lockdown, meals on wheels, food delivery service . so really actually ensuring that the unsung heroes of britain actually get due recognition . and the monarchy, recognition. and the monarchy, of course, is so closely associated with voluntary organised actions with charitable organisations , runs charitable organisations, runs from barnardo's to saint john's ambulance to the boy scouts. that's the backbone of england, actually . and it's a really core actually. and it's a really core part of our civic national identity. so it's very good that it's being recognised here and it's being recognised here and it's something which is quite unique to britain and the commonwealth. our
12:45 pm
commonwealth. all of our charitable and volunteer organisations. don't really organisations. you don't really find so much outside of the find them so much outside of the anglosphere. yeah raven we actually have a couple of the lucky recipients on the show later, so stick for that, later, so stick around for that, but give us a flavour of but can you give us a flavour of the types people who've the types of people who've weren't from woosey.7 weren't aside from max woosey.7 there's example, who there's a guy, for example, who ne— there's a guy, for example, who uses his distillery— there's a guy, for example, who uses his distillery and stopped nettng— uses his distillery and stopped nettng neeze— uses his distillery and stopped making booze and started making nent— making booze and started making hand sanitiser,_ making booze and started making hand sanitiser, inspiring etenee— hand sanitiser, inspiring etenee et— hand sanitiser, inspiring stories of people who've been helping— stories of people who've been netptng te— stories of people who've been netptng to get— stories of people who've been helping to get food to people tunne— helping to get food to people during lockdowns. what are the ttnt— during lockdowns. what are the ttnt et— during lockdowns. what are the ttnt et peepte— during lockdowns. what are the kind of people are getting that went— kind of people are getting that tnety tnvtte— kind of people are getting that lucky invite .7 _ kind of people are getting that lucky invite .7 w333 lucky invite? well, lots of lots of people who've been engaged, particularly during during the pandemic. so a lot of nhs workers are being involved in this, too. most most notably. but you're seeing people who have are running remote services . so it's quite interesting actually, how much of this actually, how much of this actually are new ways in which communities can be reached and connected to by voluntary organisations is just showing that the development that have taken place over the 70 years since we had the last
12:46 pm
coronation, but also very clear and important role being given here to organisations like saint john ambulance and others who are providing emergency services, not only during the pandemic but particularly also dunng pandemic but particularly also during the coronation . and also during the coronation. and also 400 viewing platforms being created at saint margaret's church next door to the abbey. so that 400 young people symbolising the future of britain who are connected to so many of the organisations with which the royal family are associated , the prince's trust, associated, the prince's trust, for example. but they'll be able to have their own private viewing next next door to the next to the to the abbey. next door to the to the abbey. it's shame , i think, it's just a shame, i think, that the abbey to only the abbey is going to only restricted to 2000 people this time, compared to the 8000 that were in 1953. tiered were there in 1953. on tiered seating . you know, 70 years seating. you know, 70 years later, in 2023, surely we have the technology to at least have allowed maybe 5000 people to attend because there are so many deserving organisations who should be present. okay rafe heydel—mankoo, thank you for joining us on this holy saturday

1:17 pm
there's been real division in there's been real division in the snp for a number of years when it's come to election time. nicola sturgeon has largely managed to hold things together and do pretty well in elections. so the real challenge that humza yousaf has now is taking over this party that has real divisions and it's facing what its president said in a in a newspaper interview today. the biggest crisis in 50 years of his his time in the party and humza yousaf really needs to now steady the ship, get things together and see if he actually can prevent pretty big losses in the next general election . the next general election. michael, the gender recognition bill michael, the gender recognition hiii you— michael, the gender recognition bill you mentioned there was was iotgsiy— bill you mentioned there was was largely credited— bill you mentioned there was was largely credited with bringing town— largely credited with bringing touh hiooio— largely credited with bringing down nicola sturgeon and hamza vusut— down nicola sturgeon and hamza vusut ssss— down nicola sturgeon and hamza yusuf seems to— down nicola sturgeon and hamza yusuf seems to be— down nicola sturgeon and hamza yusuf seems to be in favour of that— yusuf seems to be in favour of that himssit— yusuf seems to be in favour of that himself, but— yusuf seems to be in favour of that himself, but he's also been iistshihg— that himself, but he's also been iistshihs to— that himself, but he's also been listening to the— that himself, but he's also been listening to the room, surely thsts— listening to the room, surely thsts shy— listening to the room, surely are there any signs that that that— are there any signs that that that hitt— are there any signs that that that tiii mav— are there any signs that that that bill may be— are there any signs that that that bill may be modified or is

1:19 pm
on that. so it's a it's a huge decision facing him in the coming days . okay. michael, an coming days. okay. michael, an opinion— coming days. okay. michael, an opinion poti— coming days. okay. michael, an opinion pot in— coming days. okay. michael, an opinion poll in the— i133“ q : okay. michael, an opinion poll in the times today shows— opinion poll in the times today shows that— opinion poll in the times today shows that the _ opinion poll in the times today shows that the snp are only to tsutht — shows that the snp are only to tsutht os— shows that the snp are only to return 34 mps— shows that the snp are only to return 34 mps at— shows that the snp are only to return 34 mps at the next oshstoi— return 34 mps at the next general election as opposed to the general election as opposed to ths ss— general election as opposed to ths so thsy— general election as opposed to the 48 they won _ general election as opposed to the 48 they won in 2019, a loss of the 48 they won in 2019, a loss ot hst— the 48 they won in 2019, a loss ot hot is.— the 48 they won in 2019, a loss ot hot is. do— the 48 they won in 2019, a loss of net 14. do you— the 48 they won in 2019, a loss of net 14. do you think the iotout— of net 14. do you think the iotout potty— of net 14. do you think the labour party will be licking thsit— labour party will be licking thsit tips— labour party will be licking their lips north— labour party will be licking their lips north of the border as it— their lips north of the border as it ooshsi— their lips north of the border as it opened the— their lips north of the border as it opened the doors for a tssutshsos— as it opened the doors for a resurgence? agent red rosette, hotth— resurgence? agent red rosette, hotth-hotist— resurgence? agent red rosette, hotth-hotist .— resurgence? agent red rosette, north border , yeah, north of the border, yeah, thsts-s— north of the border, yeah, thsts-s ho— north of the border, yeah, there's no question that there's an oooottuhity— there's no question that there's an opportunity for— there's no question that there's an opportunity for labour and hissi— an opportunity for labour and ihissi tot— an opportunity for labour and indeed for the— an opportunity for labour and indeed for the conservatives in ssots h— indeed for the conservatives in some seats in scotland as well. hut— some seats in scotland as well. hut i— some seats in scotland as well. hut i thist— some seats in scotland as well. hut i think it— some seats in scotland as well. but i think it would— some seats in scotland as well. but i think it would be- some seats in scotland as well. but i think it would be a- some seats in scotland as well. but i think it would be a bit complacent for either party to just assume that the snp is going to collapse and that they're going to be able to sweep up in their place because what we've often found , as said what we've often found, as said with nicola sturgeon's election strategy, the snp have done very well at getting the pro—independence vote together. and while there is every
1:20 pm
evidence that support for the snp and support for independence is declining, there is still going to be quite a big mass of voters who are likely vote voters who are likely to vote for the biggest pro—independence party which we very much assume will remain the snp. so while it looks like they're facing losses at this stage and indeed they were likely facing losses even when nicola sturgeon remained snp leader . i when nicola sturgeon remained snp leader. i think things could still change depending on how things progress from here. if this crisis continues to intensify, if the if humza yousaf doesn't manage to bring his party together , it could be his party together, it could be a really, really difficult general election next year. but it's not a done deal. it's not a given. and i think it would be pretty complacent of the pro—union parties to think that it was super. that's great stutt. — it was super. that's great stuff. michael— . that's great stuff. michael blackley political— stuff. michael blackley political editor of the scottish hoiiy—

1:37 pm
gets popular, it's overrun. you can't car parking space. can't get a car parking space. everyone starts moaning again. you've yorkshire. you've got to love yorkshire. thank anna. thank you very much, anna. superb . okay so. so we're superb report. okay so. so we're doing some emails now. you've been getting in touch on our big topics of the day, labour tweets and policing. course that and policing. of course that labour really, really labour tweet has really, really rankled you. it's got you going on labour tweets and tuc days. that's how our politics has been for a school for ages. it's a school playground and it's pathetic if a party is any good, their policies will win them and support they deserve. so she's saying stick to the policies, don't start throwing the mud around. unfortunately, i think it's late. and as we were it's too late. and as we were saying with nigel saying earlier with nigel nelson, very much looks like nelson, it very much looks like this taste of things to this is a taste of things to come. labour party taken this is a taste of things to come. from abour party taken this is a taste of things to come. from ab01labour taken this is a taste of things to come. from ab01labour party aken this is a taste of things to come. from ab01labour party inen advice from the labour party in australia. looks like things australia. it looks like things are dirty ahead of are going to get dirty ahead of the next election. on the labour tweet, says this if tweet, bill also says this if labour's on the tweet labour's statement on the tweet is then left wing is correct, then the left wing legal profession will be making hay on miscarriages of justice, which presumably the tory judiciary were not making. so
1:38 pm
that's an interesting point as well . are we seeing a well. are we seeing a politicised legal system now? we definitely have that in america. is that coming here? we really hope not. we hope we're above that here, but it does feel like we're getting more american a bit more down and dirty on policing. john says. unfortunately there aren't enough policemen luxury enough policemen for the luxury of two pounding the beat together . yeah, because an together. yeah, because an earlier person said, let's have coppers pairs so people feel coppers in pairs so people feel safe. but of course both the labour party and the tories this week saying need bobbies week saying we need more bobbies on beat. 13,000 and short to on the beat. 13,000 and short to make up for cuts earlier so it be luxury indeed to have two be a luxury indeed to have two police. certainly to police. but we certainly want to see more people the see more people in the community. that's how we feel safe. please keep your views safe. so please keep your views coming in please do coming in and please do subscribe youtube subscribe to our youtube channel. we're at gb news. you're watching and listen to gb news saturday with me, martin daubney. lots more coming up on today's show, including the uk emergency service test has emergency alert service test has been confirmed for 3:00pm. guess when yet on saint george's day. what will it mean for you all of
1:42 pm
welcome back. and a very happy easter to all out there. you're watching and listening to gb news saturday with me, martin daubney on your tv online and on your digital radio. now, a nationwide test of the uk's emergency alert service will take place on 3 pm. on sunday. the 23rd of april. that's saint george day messages will pop up on mobile phones across the country , along with a sound and country, along with a sound and vibration that will stop automatically after ten seconds. people just need to tap okay, or swipe away the notification like any other with no further action required . and now this is required. and now this is getting a lot of people het up. joining me now is tech journalist will gaia to talk about this. first of all, will, why are the government sending
1:43 pm

1:48 pm
original good friday agreement in terms of designations of unionist or nationalist and other at the present minute. it's the largest party is entitled to the first minister's position. so from that point of view, we've got to move it away from largest party to largest designation . the other thing we designation. the other thing we desperately need the stormont executive to be restored, but with the power to amend the windsor framework that's still the big sticking point which is preventing the dup from restarting power sharing here in northern ireland. so basically the spark plug that that needs is to give any new future assembly which has kick started the power to seriously amend the windsor framework. so if it worked in 1998, why was the saint andrews agreement introduced in 2006 with the
1:49 pm
designation was changed? yes people can point to what was a affectionately known as the chuckle brothers routine between the late dr. ian paisley and the former ira commander , martin former ira commander, martin mcguinness. but that all eventually fell apart , so it has eventually fell apart, so it has to be renewed . and that's why to be renewed. and that's why this is vitally needed and that's why i say specifically the spark plug of designation . the spark plug of designation. but the other thing is, you mention about the windsor framework. we have to be realistic. it's under its present condition . it's simply present condition. it's simply not going to get the stormont executive back so that the carrot , the sweetener that can carrot, the sweetener that can be used to get it back is to allow the assembly to have significant legislative powers to change it where necessary. so as we can get the executive up and running for the benefit of all the people in northern
1:50 pm
ireland, yes, i can't really see anything happening until after may the 18th. that's the local government elections here in northern ireland and the dup will not want to risk losing seats. on one hand and to the more hardline traditional unionist voice, or even to the more softer ulster unionist party and the alliance party. so we've got a massive waiting game being played out at the present minute. but the big danger for unionism is that it holds out too long that the westminster establishment gets fed up and says a plague on all your houses and introduces some form of direct rule which includes some part of dublin and formal involvement . part of dublin and formal involvement. in part of dublin and formal involvement . in other words, the involvement. in other words, the repubuc involvement. in other words, the republic of ireland having a greater say in the running of this part of the united kingdom. thatis this part of the united kingdom. that is the doomsday scenario that we want to avoid . well, that we want to avoid. well, what you're also looking at, let's look also at it from the dup point of view. there are
1:51 pm
only a couple of seats if we go by the largest party behind sinn fein, the ira's political wing. now, there's a couple of seats that they could win back again, depending on turnout and proper transfer of votes . if they did transfer of votes. if they did that and became the largest party again , then we're in a party again, then we're in a situation where i would say the dup would walk into stormont in the morning and that was dr. john coulter there on breakfast early this morning with dawn and stephen. and they are, of course, back— 3“ and they are, of course, back tomorrow bright and sotiy— course, back tomorrow bright and sotiy ttoth — course, back tomorrow bright and sotiy ttoth six.— course, back tomorrow bright and early from six. if— course, back tomorrow bright and early from six. if you're in bed hovihg— early from six. if you're in bed hovihg oh— early from six. if you're in bed having an easter— early from six. if you're in bed having an easter egg, tune in the having an easter egg, tune in ths-yout— having an easter egg, tune in the _your morning. having an easter egg, tune in the your morning for the brighton your morning for suts—stoty-uk sure to our next story now uk houss— sure to our next story now uk houss otioss— sure to our next story now uk house prices are— sure to our next story now uk house prices are some great news for house prices are some great news tot hosohss— house prices are some great news for homeowners have risen for a hit— for homeowners have risen for a thitt-ih— for homeowners have risen for a thitt-ih o— for homeowners have risen for a third-in a-halifax. third month in a row. halifax stit— third month in a row. halifax soit otohstty— third month in a row. halifax said property prices increased by said property prices increased ty ooto— said property prices increased by 0.8% ih— said property prices increased by 0.8% in march to an average of by 0.8% in march to an average ot tzszsso. — by 0.8% in march to an average of £287,880. for— by 0.8% in march to an average of £287,880. for a— by 0.8% in march to an average of £287,880. for a house which toiiowst— of £287,880. for a house which followed rises— of £287,880. for a house which followed rises of— of £287,880. for a house which followed rises of 0.2% and 1.2% in tunuoty— followed rises of 0.2% and 1.2% in tuhuoty. tnt— followed rises of 0.2% and 1.2% in january. and february respectively. _ in january. and february respectively. the increase goes against— respectively. the increase goes against economists expectations

spoken out against the plans, saying it's evidence of the government's failures . the government's failures. the labour said the labour leader said the government has caused a situation where they've broken the system, got thousands the asylum system, got thousands upon thousands of claims that haven't been processed. so has the government found a solution to the migrants housing problem or is it just yet another sticking plaster solution .7 well, sticking plaster solution? well, joining me in the studio is the director the centre for director of the centre for migration economic migration and economic prosperity good pal of prosperity and a good pal of mine, stephen wolf. happy easter, stephen. for easter, stephen. thanks for coming in. can resplendent coming in. you can resplendent in your i thought i'd try and bnng in your i thought i'd try and bring the joy of the summer sun to the studio. you've succeeded very much though this very much though so this obviously headlines obviously has caused headlines a floating hotel float tale. floating hotel a float tale. it's been portrayed by the by by by by the opponents of this as some sort of floating alcatraz. could this be an answer or is it just yet more gimmickry ? no, i just yet more gimmickry? no, i wouldn't say it is «v3; q 3.33? no, i wouldn't say it is gimmickry. this— wouldn't say it is gimmickry. this time. it's— wouldn't say it is gimmickry. this time. it's part- wouldn't say it is gimmickry. this time. it's part of- wouldn't say it is gimmickry. 3“ c it's part of the this time. it's part of the solution— this time. it's part of the solution that— this time. it's part of the solution that the- 3“ c it's part of the solution that the government is trying— solution that the government is trying to— solution that the government is trying to achieve,— solution that the government is trying to achieve, not just with the barges.— trying to achieve, not just with the barges, but— trying to achieve, not just with the barges, but also the barges, but we also noticed that— the barges, but we also noticed that-them- the barges, but we also noticed that-there's been- that this week there's been three— that this week there's been three-that- that this week there's been three-that have- that this week there's been three that have been three camps that have been mentioned— three camps that have been mentioned _they-

think this is an attempt to recapture that gradual and realistic introduction to nudity into body types so that people are seeing what people's bodies really look like rather than just sort of pornified bodies, which are standards that nobody can really live up to without huge enhancement. huge cosmetic enhancement. so i understand the concept behind it, but i do also understand why the somebody stripping the idea of somebody stripping off your teenage off in front of your teenage child feel a little bit child might feel a little bit uncomfortable. yeah i mean, i do agree. you know, i've i've spoken— agree. you know, i've i've- spoken—teenagers agree. you know, i've i've- spoke|addiction_teenagers agree. you know, i've i've- spoke|addiction and .teenagers fighznz; you know, i've i've spoke|addiction and the teenagers fighznz; you know, i've i've spoke|addiction and the dangers's about addiction and the dangers of about addiction and the dangers ot trot.— about addiction and the dangers ot tirot. arit— about addiction and the dangers of that. and certainly the education— of that. and certainly the education curriculum we have tsp-t— education curriculum we have isrr-t tit— education curriculum we have isrr-t tit tor— education curriculum we have isn't fit for purpose. it's out of isn't fit for purpose. it's out ot tots.— isn't fit for purpose. it's out ot tots. it— isn't fit for purpose. it's out of date. it doesn't even acknowledge - of date. it doesn't even acknowledge the existence the acknowledge the existence of the irrtorrrot— acknowledge the existence of the irrtorrrot-wirot— acknowledge the existence of the internet-what-best. internet. but what is the best way— internet. but what is the best wow-toroi— internet. but what is the best way-teach kids— internet. but what is the best way-teach kids ?- internet. but what is the best way teach kids ? i mean, when way to teach kids? i mean, when i way to teach kids? i mean, when i-tits— way to teach kids? i mean, when i-tits-wow- i talk to kids, i'm very tortirigirt. — i talk to kids, i'm very forthright. judge i talk to kids, i'm very- forthright.-judge erg, forthright. i don't judge erg, but forthright. i don't judge erg, put its— forthright. i don't judge erg, but it's best— forthright. i don't judge erg, but it's best to— forthright. i don't judge erg, but it's best to teach about oritiooi— but it's best to teach about critical consumption, not to tint— critical consumption, not to tint ot— critical consumption, not to tint ot wag— critical consumption, not to kind of wag your finger, but rottw— kind of wag your finger, but really showing— kind of wag your finger, but really showing news for kids. stop— really showing news for kids. stop popnor.— really showing news for kids. step depher, isn't it ? really showing news for kids. step depher, isn't it? but but is it— step depher, isn't it? but but is it because— step depher, isn't it? but but is it because they are already. we know that statistically they are already seeing nudes. and i think the best way to make teenagers not want to do something is to make it seem
