or 40 million irish americans. i'm one of them. my ancestors came over around the same time as biden's irish ancestors. you know, it's a big deal, but it's not that big of a deal. so i think he's probably making making a mistake for the most part, united states is very part, the united states is very pro uk, very pro british. we understand the history that our great documents acas are in many cases derived from, you know, the great british documents , the the great british documents, the bill of rights in 1689, the magna carta. there's a real sense of special relationship that president biden just doesn't get. and i think that's a mistake. so he's got these personal grievances. he's still stuck in this, you know, irish grievance culture which has disappeared for the most part. even the kennedys . and you saw even the kennedys. and you saw joe kennedy in that in the clip earlier greeting president biden because he's now the special envoy to northern ireland. you know, the kennedys got over that whole grievance thing . so i'm whole grievance thing. so i'm not sure that he's making a i think he's making a political mistake here, letting his personal bias and personal

grievances is step ahead of the great special relationship between the us and the uk. is he making a great political mistake, too? for the democrats, eee,— mistake, too? for the democrats, eee m— mistake, too? for the democrats, neg, nn eewme— mistake, too? for the democrats, greg, in saying that— mistake, too? for the democrats, greg, in saying that he- 7 for the democrats, greg, in saying that he is going to greg, in saying that he is going ne mn— greg, in saying that he is going ne again?— greg, in saying that he is going to run again? he's— greg, in saying that he is going to run again? he's already 80, ne-n— to run again? he's already 80, ne-n ne— to run again? he's already 80, ne-n ne 82.— to run again? he's already 80, he'll be 82. come— to run again? he's already 80, he'll be 82. come the next eneenen— he'll be 82. come the next election and— he'll be 82. come the next election and he'd be 86 by the end— election and he'd be 86 by the end en— election and he'd be 86 by the end eninewnn— election and he'd be 86 by the end of-fourth four- election and he'd be 86 by the end of fourth four year end of his fourth four year nenne— end of his fourth four year nenme nee— end of his fourth four year nenme nee — end of his fourth four year term? yes and- end of his fourth four year term? yes '“: end of his fourth four year term? yes ' “: “n: term? yes and as you pointed out, andrew, you know, he's not a young 80. i mean, this this is a young 80. i mean, this this is a man with obvious cognitive challenges. and he's, you know, the constant gaffes and tripping on the stairs of air force one. i mean, the list is long. these are embarrassments. but the problem the democrats don't problem is the democrats don't have clear heir apparent. four have a clear heir apparent. four years ago when he was running, you know, the heir apparent was kamala harris. but she's polling even worse than biden. so the administration's been a disaster by, you know, by most metrics, by, you know, by most metrics, by most measures. and so if the fact that kamala harris is polling even worse than biden means there's really no obvious heir. and that's why no one else has stepped up, i know that

gavin newsom, the governor of california, is kicking it around . and but i think that, you know, until there's a clear, you know, until there's a clear, you know, younger generation that can take over, i don't see why he's in any rush to announce formally . i he's in any rush to announce formally. i know he's in any rush to announce formally . i know he teased the formally. i know he teased the media over the weekend, but there's just you know, this this is a party with no young leadership on the bench. and it's interesting because we're going to see bill clinton this morning, greg. and whatever you nnnn— morning, greg. and whatever you nnnn n— morning, greg. and whatever you nnnn en nm— morning, greg. and whatever you think of him, he— morning, greg. and whatever you think of him, he was— morning, greg. and whatever you think of him, he was a— “g [wig and whatever you think of him, he was a class act:— think of him, he was a class een, een— think of him, he was a class act, real charisma . and he's act, real charisma. and he's going— act, real charisma. and he's gemg ne— act, real charisma. and he's going to completely upstage the meenenn— going to completely upstage the nneenenn .— going to completely upstage the president . yeah,— going to completely upstage the president . yeah, absolutely. president. yeah, absolutely. mee— president. yeah, absolutely. met ne— president. yeah, absolutely. just like barack— president. yeah, absolutely. just like barack obama- president. yeah, absolutely. just like barack obama did at, you know, in the white house a few months ago. you know, this is clearly, you know, a failed administration , but without the administration, but without the charm of bill clinton and barack obama, both of those men were gifted politician brains and also gifted orators , neither of also gifted orators, neither of which is president biden. so, you know, it's probably going to be an unpleasant look for biden. you know, you're right. bill clinton was a rock star on his visits to , uh, to ireland and

visits to, uh, to ireland and northern ireland as was barack obama. john kennedy , you know, obama. john kennedy, you know, so there's some history there. and i'm not sure that that president biden can can fit in. again, as you pointed out, andrew, he's only spending 15 hours in northern ireland. it's a clear snub to the united kingdom, you know, on top of the fact that he's not attending the coronation and then spending two and a half days in ireland. it's really not a good look for the and a half days in ireland. it's rea speciala good look for the and a half days in ireland. it's rea special relationship for the and a half days in ireland. it's rea special relationship withte and a half days in ireland. it's rea special relationship with the us special relationship with the uk. thank you, greg, forjoining uk. thank you, greg, for joining us this morning. that's greg. good us this morning. that's greg. need no— us this morning. that's greg. need no ne— us this morning. that's greg. good to be chair.— “3 that's greg. good to be chair. thanks. newnne— good to be chair. thanks. dawkins overseas. thank you. new— dawkins overseas. thank you. new me— dawkins overseas. thank you. now the doctors— dawkins overseas. thank you. now the doctors strike- dawkins overseas. thank you. now the doctors strike a - dawkins overseas. thank you. now the doctors strike a second day of the doctors strike. and of course, we're fascinated by the fact that one of the leaders of the doctors strike, gone of the doctors strike, he's gone on gone to greece on holiday. he's gone to greece for a week like us, just going right, let's go holiday, right, let's go on holiday, shall now, because we've got shall we, now, because we've got nothing important do this nothing important to do this morning. keep saying morning. and they keep saying where? steve barclay, the secretary health, secretary of state for health, why negotiate. can he why we negotiate. how can he negotiate? he's on holiday in greece week getting paid greece for a week getting paid well, hospital chiefs are concerned that their continued absence patient safety

and force unionists into power because that would go quite badly for them. and of course, we've been saying that all along, that they're trying to bounce unionists in bounce the dup and unionists in general back into power because of this framework document that hasn't worked well for them. i think the pressure that has come to bear on them has been very, very high and today this is the pinnacle of that very issue. joe biden has had a very low level support here. there's no thousands of crowds. there's lots of barriers out for crowds, but quite literally , standing but quite literally, standing here at the minute, i think it could count about 15 people. so it just it just shows you where where northern ireland is either with the whole peace process or with the whole peace process or with a us president arriving. the interesting thing, of course, is that bill clinton , course, is that bill clinton, the man that was right at the forefront of the good friday agreement, is speaking in queen's university later on today. queen's university later on today . that will probably steal today. that will probably steal the show here. and probably send crowds out direction . that will crowds out direction. that will be interesting to see what

happens with that. but definitely for joe biden happens with that. but definitely forjoe biden on the definitely for joe biden on the ground , not much support and he ground, not much support and he will be gone from here in round about three hours time. right that's northern ireland. reporter— that's northern ireland. reporter dougie beattie and let-s— reporter dougie beattie and let-s talk— reporter dougie beattie and let-s talk to — reporter dougie beattie and let's talk to gb— reporter dougie beattie and let's talk to gb news political editor— let's talk to gb news political editor darren— let's talk to gb news political editor darren mccaffrey, who's just— editor darren mccaffrey, who's just outside— editor darren mccaffrey, who's just outside ulster university. daren— just outside ulster university. darren morning.— just outside ulster university. darren morning. often a prime rnnrerer— darren morning. often a prime minister will— darren morning. often a prime minister will get— darren morning. often a prime minister will get a bit of a dance— minister will get a bit of a deanee dy— minister will get a bit of a bounce by having being shoulder to bounce by having being shoulder re enearaer— bounce by having being shoulder to shoulder with— bounce by having being shoulder to shoulder with the president of to shoulder with the president or rne— to shoulder with the president of the united— to shoulder with the president of the united states, the leader of the united states, the leader oi...— of the united states, the leader of-free world. _ of the united states, the leader of-free world. but- of the united states, the leader of free world. but to be of the free world. but to be nonem— of the free world. but to be honest, rishi— of the free world. but to be honest, rishi sunak is going to be honest, rishi sunak is going to de wran— honest, rishi sunak is going to de nrrn nrn — honest, rishi sunak is going to be with him just— honest, rishi sunak is going to be with him just for a few nrnaree.— be with him just for a few minutes-it's- be with him just for a few minutes. it's already minutes. and it's already descended— minutes. and it's already descended joke minutes. and it's already descended -joke is descended into a joke about is it descended into a joke about is rrldrrarerar— descended into a joke about is itlbilateral or— descended into a joke about is itlbilateral or is— descended into a joke about is itlbilateral or is it- descended into a joke about is it bilateral or is it a lat it a bilateral or is it a lat deeanee— it a bilateral or is it a lat because he's— it a bilateral or is it a lat because he's just having coffee wran— because he's just having coffee mm mm — because he's just having coffee with him? -indeed.- because he's just having coffee with him? 3: c with him? yeah, indeed. but it is interesting , though, that is interesting, though, that rishi has a concerted rishi sunak has made a concerted effort and associate effort to try and associate himself with joe biden. he turned up at the airport last himself with joe biden. he turneitop at the airport last himself with joe biden. he turneito greethe airport last himself with joe biden. he turneito greet him rport last himself with joe biden. he turneito greet him offrt last himself with joe biden. he turneito greet him offrt leforce night to greet him off air force one. and as you say, he's having this kind of almost brush by and the term for very the technical term for a very brief chat this morning, the prime minister need prime minister didn't need to come to northern ireland to make that effort. clearly felt that effort. he clearly felt that effort. he clearly felt that needed to. now, why is

that he needed to. now, why is that? well, it's the first i'm sorry, it's the third meeting he's biden since he he's had with joe biden since he became minister. he's became prime minister. and he's only minister for six only been prime minister for six months. that's pretty good months. and that's pretty good going, and i going, i would suggest. and i think to say that think it's fair to say that actually men thus far get actually both men thus far get on pretty well. i mean, they spend an hour in same room spend an hour in the same room together with no officials when they diego. so what? they met in san diego. so what? just so over that just a month or so ago over that aukus well, and also, aukus deal? well, and also, i think there has been a concerted attempt by downing street to repair the white repair relations with the white house. they, frankly have not been good since, been terribly good since, particularly brexit. so it is fair to say that the americans have kind of essentially felt it. and we know this during the obama administration, certainly, that the brexit was a mistake. bofis that the brexit was a mistake. boris johnson failed to capitalise on the relationship with donald trump. so rishi sunakis with donald trump. so rishi sunak is trying again and it seems somewhat successfully . but seems somewhat successfully. but in saying that, i think as you guys to, he is guys have alluded to, he is frankly in northern ireland for 18 hours now. let's be honest about that. that is frankly largely northern ireland's fault. we do not have a

government here. there is no executive for all the reasons that we know are available. it is fair to say that if politics was back to normal here, joe biden would be spending a hell of a lot more time in northern ireland. yes, the focus of of a lot more time in northern ireltrip yes, the focus of of a lot more time in northern ireltrip is yes, the focus of of a lot more time in northern ireltrip is clearlythe focus of of a lot more time in northern ireltrip is clearly on focus of of a lot more time in northern ireltrip is clearly on the 15 of of a lot more time in northern ireltrip is clearly on the rest his trip is clearly on the rest of ireland. he's meeting his ancestors a little later on today and indeed later on in the week, in two counties in the repubuc week, in two counties in the republic of ireland, spending most of his time in dublin, including addressing houses including addressing both houses of parliament, the irish parliament there and having parliament and there and having a banquet with the irish a state banquet with the irish president. let's remind people that there are tens of millions, i think 40 million americans who associate themselves with ireland, think they've got ireland, who think they've got irish . and man irish heritage. and for a man who may be seeking who may well be seeking re—election, that's one hell of an base to try and win an electoral base to try and win over next time. rounds. i would just say finally, that's just say finally, dan, that's going the unionist nose going to put the unionist nose a bit joint, isn't it? bit out of joint, isn't it? addressing both both- addressing both both houses bit out of joint, isn't it? - addressing both both houses of darnanenr— addressing both both houses of parliament—a- addressing both both houses of parliament a state parliament in ireland, a state dananed— parliament in ireland, a state banquet, spending barely an banquet, but spending barely an nonr— banquet, but spending barely an nan-rne— banquet, but spending barely an hour-the-the- banquet, but spending barely an hour the the unionist hour with the with the unionist pennerane— hour with the with the unionist politicians-cup- hour with the with the unionist politicians-cup of- politicians having a cup of coffee,—

rethink within unionism, particularly the uwp, particularly within the uwp, about stormont about getting stormont up and running because say running again, because i say irrespective what people irrespective of what people think, the end the think, at the end of the day, people here local people here do want local politicians making those local decisions. all politicians making those local decisions . all right, that's our decisions. all right, that's our nonrea— decisions. all right, that's our political editor— r:r::;rt. all right, that's our political editor darren necarrren— political editor darren mccaffrey, who's outside ulster dnrvererrn. — mccaffrey, who's outside ulster university. -for- mccaffrey, who's outside ulster university. forjoining university. thanks for joining us, university. thanks for joining ne-rnann— university. thanks for joining us,-thank you,- university. thanks for joining us, thank you, darren. us, darren. thank you, darren. ran— us, darren. thank you, darren. you knew— us, darren. thank you, darren. you know what?— us, darren. thank you, darren. you know what? i'm— us, darren. thank you, darren. you know what? i'm feeling incredibly cynical about this, aren't you? i'm just i feel dreadfully sorry for people in northern ireland at stormont. it hasn't operated for over a year now. no decisions are made now. no decisions are being made and being done. and and nothing is being done. and this presidential visit is not going to make anything change. it's going to make any difference. but he gets to meet his cousins. yeah, i'm sorry. i can understand why no one's out there flags sort there with their flags and sort of know, you see how of like, you know, you see how many out ireland? it many turn out in ireland? it will it? but it's will be, won't it? but it's going be there for a bit going to be there for a bit longer. so people will have a chance, at least. but i have to say,— chance, at least. but i have to savr rn— chance, at least. but i have to w r-n enn— chance, at least. but i have to say, i'm still looking- rtt but i have to say, i'm still looking forward to say, i'm still looking forward re seeing— say, i'm still looking forward to seeing bill— say, i'm still looking forward to seeing bill clinton. i saw nin— to seeing bill clinton. i saw nrn ence— to seeing bill clinton. i saw him once when— to seeing bill clinton. i saw him once when came to the him once when he came to the nadenr— him once when he came to the labour-conference- him once when he came to the labour conference when he labour party conference when he nae-farmer— labour party conference when he was former president and was the former president and tony— was the former president andi tony—minister. tony blair was prime minister.

most improved moved in terms of their previous forecasts and their previous forecasts and their current forecasts. they've upgraded did us more than any other economy . me but they're other economy. me but they're still saying that the economy will contract and the uk will go into recession. well, of course the office for budget responsibility has been saying that for months. the bank of england has been saying that for months. what and now the months. and what and now the obe on the bank of england have finally their tune. finally changing their tune. what say about these imf what i would say about these imf forecasts i don't only think forecasts is i don't only think that they're kind of instinctively obe anti—brexit britain, really think they britain, i really think they are. but i'd also say that they're weak acas out of date. there are so many layers of bureaucracy at the imf. i used to actually work at the imf in another and it's so another life and it's so political. this forecasting has to go through so many committee hands that these numbers are at least weeks out of date, probably months going to say, sorry, this comes on the day liz truss is in america making a big speech saying that the thatcherite legacy is being squandered and she says we should be cutting taxes . she's

should be cutting taxes. she's got a point, isn't she? - should be cutting taxes. she's got a point, isn't she? a- should be cutting taxes. she's got a point, isn't she? a few big— got a point, isn't she? a few big speeches— got a point, isn't she? a few big speeches out of washington today by prominent brits. andrew you've got liz truss giving margaret thatcher memorial lecture at the heritage foundation, which is a centre right. think tank. she's long had ties with that and that will be reported widely. but i think what will attract more attention, there are two speeches today from washington by andrew bailey, the governor of the bank of england. and, you know, many people are know, so many people now are wondering what's to happen wondering what's going to happen on rates . as it on interest rates. as it happens, there's an inflation number out wednesday number coming out on wednesday next week, will probably next week, which will probably be in single digits. we're at 10.4% at the moment for the consumer price index, but there is no interest rate meeting this month. there are only eight a yeah month. there are only eight a year. they're not monthly. there are . so they're are eight a year. so they're regular meetings, but not monthly . so we're regular meetings, but not monthly. so we're going to have to until may before there's to wait until may before there's another rate decision . another interest rate decision. and may be that and by then it may be that there's no if inflation is coming down, interest rates may not rise. and another reason

interest rates may not rise. and a lot of the talk out of the world bank imf meetings this spring, today will be about this is that there's is the fact that there's increasing concern about the global system and the global banking system and the impact of higher interest rates on the balance sheet of banks. we've major banks topple we've seen major banks topple oven we've seen major banks topple over, least of course, over, not least of course, credit so it may be the credit suisse. so it may be the best possible outcome is if there's enough fear about the banking system that interest rates don't go any more and rates don't go up any more and inflation coming down, but inflation is coming down, but then the banking system doesn't actually over because we actually topple over because we don't go into a sort of don't want to go into a sort of 2008 style situation. fryston well, they're not predicting that are they ? or that one yet, are they? or they're but they are dawn they're not, but they are dawn briefing newspapers briefing the front of newspapers . there's no reason to say that you're having a conversation about how to save the banking system. reckon putting system. i reckon they're putting that so there's an that out there. so there's an excuse to not to avoid raising interest rates, because if central banks don't raise interest rates when inflation is still credibility still high, their credibility takes battering . they can give takes a battering. they can give a kind of justification for not raising people. they think, oh my eee,— raising people. they think, oh

my new rte— raising people. they think, oh my new. we a— raising people. they think, oh my god, it's a mind- g they think, oh my god, it's a mind game. dnenrnn— my god, it's a mind game. queuing outside— my god, it's a mind game. queuing outside northern rock to get our money out the bank. it's a self fulfilling prophecy. drenneew— it's a self fulfilling prophecy. prophecy,-going- it's a self fulfilling prophecy. prophecy, going back prophecy, isn't it? going back to_tt.m,_ prophecy, isn't it? going back ra—nan, rnew- to your chart, liam, they prearerea— to your chart, liam, they predicted-is. to your chart, liam, they predicted-is ini to your chart, liam, they- predicted-is in trouble predicted germany is in trouble as predicted germany is in trouble ae-se— predicted germany is in trouble ae-se wean— predicted germany is in trouble as so yeah, germany has as well. so yeah, germany has ami'or- — as well. so yeah, germany has ami'or- lean-r— as well. so yeah, germany has major. .don't hear- as well. so yeah, germany has major. 3 t e tn.rt as well. so yeah, germany has- major. .don't hear much about major. you don't hear much about it germany it in the media here. germany has major, major strikes. has had major, major strikes. the economy, of course, the german economy, of course, is russian is hugely dependent on russian energy, even more than our economy is. in fairness to the imf, they are right to say that the uk is vulnerable because of our dependence on imported energy. still though, we are importing a lot more of the gas we use, not just from norway but from the us that liquefied natural gas that we've started to use a lot more. so the imf have got some good points know they complete make stuff they don't complete make stuff up. about topspin up. it's all about the topspin that's put on these forecasts. so yet again, i think it will be 29, 26 out of 29 imf forecasts, which will be seen as too pessimistic in my view, because reading about them this morning, they seem to when things are jogging they seem to when things are jogging along quite nicely, they're sort of on on sort of, yeah. but that's easy isn't it?

too right. because it is too high. right. because it is at a 70 high. and whatever at a 70 year high. and whatever you think truss and you think about liz truss and kwasi kwarteng, was the kwasi kwarteng, that was the point they were trying to make. they did it too quickly. they just did it too quickly. wern— they just did it too quickly. wen, r— they just did it too quickly. well, i think— they just did it too quickly. well, i think future historians wru— well, i think future historians wrn judge— well, i think future historians will judge that— well, i think future historians will judge that not only did we— will judge that not only did rnew—nnenl will judge that not only did. they—much too they try and do too much too seen-rnew— they try and do too much too soon-they didn't- they try and do too much too soon they didn't take the soon and they didn't take the wran— soon and they didn't take the room with them,— soon and they didn't take the room with them, didn't lay room with them, they didn't lay the room with them, they didn't lay rne—waw— room with them, they didn't lay rne—waw saw- room with them, they didn't lay the—way, say nigel. the ground the way, say nigel naween— the ground the way, say nigeli lawson _ before lawson laid the ground before his lawson laid the ground before nre-rax— lawson laid the ground before his tax reductions from 60 his major tax reductions from 60 to his major tax reductions from 60 re re,— his major tax reductions from 60 re re, rne— his major tax reductions from 60 re no, we ree— his major tax reductions from 60 to 40, the top rate— his major tax reductions from 60 to 40, the top rate of tax. but i to 40, the top rate of tax. but r area— to 40, the top rate of tax. but r also think— to 40, the top rate of tax. but i also think the— to 40, the top rate of tax. but i also think the bank of england itself didn't cover itself in glory at all because it started basically by selling bonds back to the market. it in a sort of reverse quantitative easing the day before the liz truss, kwasi kwarteng mini budget, that wasn't the right day to do that. and there was almost a kind of sabotage . some people think, sabotage. some people think, well, that's a that's a strong word, but i don't think it's a coincidence that the central bank were really pleased to see liz go greeted plain liz truss go and greeted plain vanilla treasury man jeremy hunt with open arms. they didn't like

truss and kwarteng because they wanted to shake things up. but truss and kwarteng played into the hands of the blob, if you like, by laying the ground. like, by not laying the ground. lynn can you just one final rnrne. — lynn can you just one final rnrng. rner— lynn can you just one final thing. just reassure people out were—knew- thing. just reassure people outi there—know they're thing. just reassure people out theiaccurate know they're thing. just reassure people out theiaccurate . know they're thing. just reassure people out theiaccurate . the know they're thing. just reassure people out theiaccurate . the imfw they're thing. just reassure people out theiaccurate . the imf forecast, not accurate. the imf forecast, rne— not accurate. the imf forecast, we mean— not accurate. the imf forecast, rne neara eer— not accurate. the imf forecast, the media get very excited about it the media get very excited about rr ana— the media get very excited about n and ne— the media get very excited about n and de rne— the media get very excited about it and do the scaremongering rnrnee— it and do the scaremongering rnrnee enr— it and do the scaremongering things. but people are listening-— things. but people are listening. they're going, oh my eet.— listening. they're going, oh my new-re— listening. they're going, oh my new-re de- listening. they're going, oh my god, to be terrible. god, it's going to be terrible. enr— god, it's going to be terrible. dnrlrer— god, it's going to be terrible. dnrlrer ne— god, it's going to be terrible. but-let me say— god, it's going to be terrible. but let me say dawn, but as let me say this, dawn, for but as let me say this, dawn, rer eaere— but as let me say this, dawn, for casts aren't— but as let me say this, dawn, for casts aren't destiny. no one wearer.— for casts aren't destiny. no one can predict. they say economic forecasting is difficult , forecasting is difficult, particularly when it's about the future. no one knows where the economy is going. i mean, most economic forecasting take this from former professional from a former professional economic a bit of economic forecaster, is a bit of . yeah, and an awful lot of mathematical hocus pocus is what i would say is there are people out there who are better at economic forecasting and than others, and are others, and there are institutions who i would say have kind of institutional have a kind of institutional bias, particularly against the uk at the moment. and i would say that the imf is one of them. i was recently up in walsall, there's a i'm bringing a film

an outright ban. we do envisage a world where the devices could be made safe with very strict controls . but we are so far away controls. but we are so far away from that. and i do think you have a question about whether thatis have a question about whether that is possible given the vast array of content available on the devices , because of course, the devices, because of course, if you're really going to control all the product for the child , then you get into a whole child, then you get into a whole different world of pain. don't you, with, you know, controlling the content for adults and free speech, you know, personally, i think it might be possible to have a device that is just a separate child friendly device. so you know, it's a different phone. it has different controls, but we're not there yet and there's no talk of that. and moment, have and at the moment, we have a potentially dangerous and very addictive product that out of addictive product that is out of control. motty one story, one eren.— control. motty one story, one eren. r— control. motty one story, one eren. r are— control. motty one story, one story. i did notice— t motty one story, one story. i did notice earlier on rnre— story. i did notice earlier on rnre weer— story. i did notice earlier on this week was— story. i did notice earlier on this week was actress sophie wrnrrenan— this week was actress sophie winkleman, who— this week was actress sophie winkleman, who twice removed her entren— winkleman, who twice removed her entraren rren — winkleman, who twice removed her children from actual— winkleman, who twice removed her children from actual school deane— children from actual school because they _ children from actual school because they were given ipads at six because they were given ipads at err weare— because they were given ipads at err weare era. — because they were given ipads at err weare era. r— because they were given ipads at six years old. i mean, is this part— six years old. i mean, is this nan er— six years old. i mean, is this earr er wenr— six years old. i mean, is this part of your campaign as well ? part of your campaign as well? wean.— part of your campaign as well? wear. a— part of your campaign as well? wean. d de —

from socialisation, but also speech and language as a speech and language therapist says really concerns her that when this age cohort haut see screens and sorry see a picture their natural instinct is to swipe on the picture. molly molly thank wen.— the picture. molly molly thank y0b- rnar-e— the picture. molly molly thank you. that's that's— rt.. ”c: molly molly thank you. that's that's absolutely terrifying-— you. that's that's absolutely terrifying. that's molly kingsley— terrifying. that's molly kingsley, co—founder of us for rnen. — kingsley, co—founder of us for rnen. rnanr— kingsley, co—founder of us for them. thank you— kingsley, co—founder of us for them. thank you so much for ternrna— them. thank you so much for ternrna ne— them. thank you so much for joining us this— them. thank you so much for joining us this morning. let's go joining us this morning. let's an dacr— joining us this morning. let's are back re— joining us this morning. let's are back re rne— joining us this morning. let's go back to the papers- joining us this morning. let's go back to the papers of patrick o'flynn and kevin covid. let's talk another about talk about another issue about parents, harry potter star daniel radcliffe. tell us what he's saying. patrick well, he's been saying. patrick well, i take view with i always take the view with actors that are people who actors that there are people who come to prominence and success by words other by saying words that other people have written them. people have written for them. very good point. and they get rnre— very good point. and they get into trouble— very good point. and they get into trouble when they start retent— into trouble when they start voicing their— into trouble when they start voicing their original voicing their own original rnenanre. — voicing their own original thoughts. now, radcliffe thoughts. now, daniel radcliffe , aeen— thoughts. now, daniel radcliffe , aeen de,— thoughts. now, daniel radcliffe . aaea ea we— thoughts. now, daniel radcliffe , aged 33, we believe, by the way,— , aged 33, we believe, by the waw rnar— , aged 33, we believe, by the way. rnar ne-e— , aged 33, we believe, by the way, that he's expecting a child wrrn— way, that he's expecting a child wrrn ne— way, that he's expecting a child with his partner.— way, that he's expecting a child with his partner. so he's not a earenr— with his partner. so he's not a earenr yer.— with his partner. so he's not a earenr wer. se— with his partner. so he's not a earenr wer. se r— with his partner. so he's not a parent yet. so i would say, danren— parent yet. so i would say, dana, awe— parent yet. so i would say, daniel, give it— parent yet. so i would say, daniel, give it 15 years and we now— daniel, give it 15 years and we nranr weren— daniel, give it 15 years and we might listen to— daniel, give it 15 years and we might listen to what you say, enr— might listen to what you say, dnr wnar— might listen to what you say, dnr wnar re— might listen to what you say, but what is his— might listen to what you say, but what is his point is, is war— but what is his point is, is that children— but what is his point is, is that children should be trusted

griping about what robes he'll be allowed to wear. they say there's a worry about the long robe the king will wear and mighty trip over the rehearsal slightly over run. but that's why you have rehearsals, isn't it? so there's all all these elements that the mirror has has whipped up . i elements that the mirror has has whipped up. i think we elements that the mirror has has whipped up . i think we get elements that the mirror has has whipped up. i think we get this before any long planned major event like the olympics in 2012. i predict the coronation will be a triumph and no one will care whether harry's there or they do so well, don't they? pomp? and nedeaw— so well, don't they? pomp? and nedeaw neee— so well, don't they? pomp? and nedeaw aeee rr— so well, don't they? pomp? and nobody does it better.- 3 t c srig?’ pomp? and nobody does it better. and this wru— nobody does it better. and this war de— nobody does it better. and this war de a— nobody does it better. and this will be a triumph. c n will be a triumph. it will be, wean. — will be a triumph. it will be, wean. r— will be a triumph. it will be, yeah. i think we're in that zone at the moment where it's 2 or 3 weeks till it happens. you've got to fill paper somehow . got to fill the paper somehow. yeah. up a bit you yeah. you drum up a bit of you care about harry and meghan being at the coronation? not especially, know. do especially, you know. what do you defence of my you care? in defence of my rnanerrw— you care? in defence of my rnanerrw rr— you care? in defence of my industry, it sells— t tri?’ in defence of my industry, it sells newspapers. wean— industry, it sells newspapers. wean rr— industry, it sells newspapers. yeah, it still— industry, it sells newspapers. yeah, it still does.

conservatives and lots of people across this country and across the world can advocate for . so the world can advocate for. so it's all about timing and it's just all about timing and whether it's the right time to be slashing taxes and going for growth when the economy is so precious right around the world. we'll just have to wait and see. she's just up the road in washington at the same time, making speech the making her speech at the heritage foundation. charlie, as jeremy-chancellor- heritage foundation. charlie, asi jeremy-chancellor who jeremy hunt, the chancellor who she jeremy hunt, the chancellor who ete-,— jeremy hunt, the chancellor who een-leowee- jeremy hunt, the chancellor who she-,lcourse, is- jeremy hunt, the chancellor who she -,.course, is in. she appointed, of course, is in we— she appointed, of course, is in the international— she appointed, of course, is in the international monetary fund. and the international monetary fund. ant-conne— the international monetary fund. and-course, she's— the international monetary fund. and course, she's saying that and of course, she's saying that we're—too heavily. and of course, she's saying thati we're—too heavily by we're being taxed too heavily by ttot— we're being taxed too heavily by wot-non.— we're being taxed too heavily by that-man. she— we're being taxed too heavily by that man. she appointed that very man. she appointed jeremy— that very man. she appointed jeremy--_ that very man. she appointed jeremv-- nee— that very man. she appointed jeremv-- nee - that very man. she appointed jeremy-. yes and- that very man. she appointed jeremy . yes ' “2 jeremy hunt. yes and look, i think the imf have come out with a couple of predictions now. the prediction that they came out with, i think, was yesterday is a revision on their previous gloomy forecast . i'm not gloomy forecast. i'm not dismissing the imf, but they do have a tendency to, as i say, recall their previous prediction, come out with something slightly better and slightly more optimistic . and i slightly more optimistic. and i think it's important to point out that when you hear

statistics about the uk economy not growing as fast as other g7 countries, or if it seems a bit more doom and gloom, it's because the uk economy has been functioning so well over previous years. we've been doing better than many g7 countries. so course after covid and so of course after covid and after tumultuous time that after the tumultuous time that we had last year over the economy, whereas they say if you go far, too fast with go too far, too fast with economic policies , it can economic policies, it can backfire. and that's why i think it's right for jeremy hunt to take a steady as she goes approach and of course, as we get through the other end and when tax cuts can come in for hardworking people , then he will hardworking people, then he will absolutely do that. but until then , i think we have to proceed then, i think we have to proceed with caution. otherwise we'll end up in a similar situation that we were last year. charlie, one final question for you. just a interesting just briefly, a very interesting terntnotogy— just briefly, a very interesting terminology-we- just briefly, a very interesting terminology we are not terminology that we are not noten— terminology that we are not noten tt— terminology that we are not noten ttt to — terminology that we are not match fit to take on china. what do match fit to take on china. what to you— match fit to take on china. what to you tttnt— match fit to take on china. what to you tttnt ot— match fit to take on china. what do you think of her— match fit to take on china. what do you think of her use of that tongwge— do you think of her use of that tongwoge tn— do you think of her use of that language in particular? 322“ language in particular? well, i tttnt— language in particular? well, i tttnt ttn— language in particular? well, i think it's certainly interesting . and look, china has always been a growing economy and it's

always been competitive . it's always been competitive. it's been the second largest economy to the us for years. and i think , you know, we need to have an eye on china in many ways. i think some of the things that she has said in the past in terms of whether it's chinese intelligence, about terms of whether it's chinese intreconomic about terms of whether it's chinese intreconomic approach, about terms of whether it's chinese intreconomic approach, yomout terms of whether it's chinese intreconomic approach, you know, its economic approach, you know, you do have to have a balance between working china and between working with china and trying grow the uk trying to obviously grow the uk economy, you have to economy, but also you have to make sure that we as a as a nation, as a national economic powerhouse , that we can be on powerhouse, that we can be on top of the premier league in terms of economic standings as much as we can. and we can grow ourselves and we can do all that we can to make sure that we are as competitive as possible and can outdo china. all right. ttot-e— can outdo china. all right. that's charlie— 22“ 2 c“ all right. that's charlie rowley . thanks that's charlie rowley. thanks for that's charlie rowley. thanks tor totntng— that's charlie rowley. thanks tor totntng we— that's charlie rowley. thanks for joining us, our deputy forjoining us, our deputy gotttteot— forjoining us, our deputy political tom _ forjoining us, our deputy political tom harwood is with us in political tom harwood is with us tn-etwto.— political tom harwood is with us tn-etwto. ton— political tom harwood is with us in-studio. tom the- political tom harwood is with us in studio. tom the liam in the studio. tom the liam totttgon— in the studio. tom the liam halligan made— in the studio. tom the liam halligan made the point that the wt,— halligan made the point that the rnt, 25— halligan made the point that the wt, 25 ot— halligan made the point that the imf, 25 of their— halligan made the point that the imf, 25 of their last 28 predictions— imf, 25 of their last 28 predictions was about the entren— predictions was about the british economy were more negottwe— british economy were more negative than _ british economy were more negative than what actually

noggenet. — negative than what actually happened. 2 happened. that's certainly the case. and indeed , since 2016, case. and indeed, since 2016, every single annual forecast that the imf has made has been slightly below what the united economy, united kingdom economy has actually achieved. however it must be said that they haven't been that much out of bounds. now the obr expects the united kingdom economy to grow slightly this year. the imf expects it to shrink by 0.3. it's not the biggest difference. ultimately, if we take an average view of this sort of forecasting, we can say the united kingdom economy perhaps is flatlining . now i think there is flatlining. now i think there are some very valid concerns of people who sort of look to the imf and say, well, well, actually there is some truth here. the united kingdom is a very highly taxed, very highly regulated country . and you can regulated country. and you can really see how this is holding back growth , particularly when back growth, particularly when it's when we're looking at all sorts of element of the economy, how hard it is to build things, how hard it is to build things, how hard it is to get energy, infrastructure, how expensive imported energy has become. one of elements within imf

imported energy has become. one of states nts within imf imported energy has become. one of states thatvithin imf imported energy has become. one of states that the n imf imported energy has become. one of states that the united vif report states that the united kingdom is more reliant on imported energy than many other countries. france, for example, is not suffering as we are because they have a fleet of nuclear power stations. 70% of their electricity comes from their electricity comes from their nuclear power stations their own nuclear power stations . we only a handful at and . we only have a handful at and we're actually decommissioning more than we're building. so i think there is actually a fair element of what the imf is saying here. the united kingdom does not have this gangbusters growth strategy and perhaps perhaps liz truss really had a point back when she was prime minister for 49 days that really there does need to be some sort of change of direction. it's interesting, the imf themselves are saying it's, you know, it's are saying it's, you know, it's a cost of living crisis tightening financial conditions. obviously, the pandemic, russias tnwoeton— obviously, the pandemic, russias ,— obviously, the pandemic, russias invasion , etcetera,_ obviously, the pandemic, russias invasion , etcetera, etcetera. invasion, etcetera, etcetera. neonwttte— invasion, etcetera, etcetera. meanwhile everybody over here totng— meanwhile everybody over here totng tte— meanwhile everybody over here doing the country— meanwhile everybody over here doing the country down, ongoing went,— doing the country down, ongoing went, wente— doing the country down, ongoing brexit, brexit, it's— doing the country down, ongoing brexit, brexit, it's all newt-e— brexit, brexit, it's all brexit's fault. but there is to— brexit's fault. but there is to tt— brexit's fault. but there is more to it than- brexit's fault. but there is more to it than brexit because eernony— more to it than brexit because eernony ore— more to it than brexit because germany are in— more to it than brexit because germany are in a— more to it than brexit because germany are in a similar boat we tew— germany are in a similar boat we new otowt. —

germany are in a similar boat we hear about. germany- germany are in a similar boat we hear about. 2“; germany are in a similar boat we hear about. 2 hear about. germany is also expected to reduce their economic size this year. they've had number of problems, had a huge number of problems, but but the united kingdom, i think the biggest element that the has been talking about the imf has been talking about is to global energy is our exposure to global energy markets. and that's an issue that's a generational failure. the last time a nuclear power station was built this station was built in this country , it was approved by country, it was approved by margaret thatcher. it was it was constructed the construction finished in the mid 1990s. not a single government of any party after that point has actually managed to get one of these things built. at the same time, you've that has has you've got the snp that has has legislated to ban new nuclear power in scotland. it also has a presumption against exploration in in the north sea for oil and gas. we've seen parliament ban fracking in the united kingdom , fracking in the united kingdom, but also we've seen the tory party ban onshore wind farms. so it's not just the more traditional forms of energy, it's also some of the renewables in this country. the green party has been campaigning against solar farms, which seems like the most extraordinary thing. if you look across at all different

forms of energy , every single forms of energy, every single party sort of finds a reason to say no. and that's left the united kingdom massively exposed, far more exposed to international oil and gas prices than many other countries have been.i than many other countries have been. i think that's probably the biggest driver of this . and the biggest driver of this. and ultimately it requires some more imaginative thinking domestically. however, it is also true to say that the imf doesn't always get these things right. it may well be the case that by the end of the year, the united kingdom has actually managed stave recession managed to stave off recession as obr expects it to. but it as the obr expects it to. but it won't be the biggest victory in the world growing by 0.1. isn't isn't the most . can we ask you isn't the most. can we ask you grow— isn't the most. can we ask you about another— isn't the most. can we ask you about another political- e can we ask you about another political problem, the about another political problem, tte ttne— about another political problem, the prime minister? it's that extreorttnwy— the prime minister? it's that extraordinary-in- the prime minister? it's that extraordinary in daily extraordinary story in the daily nott— extraordinary story in the daily nen-wow— mail today about the cross—channel and cross—channel ferry and the trenen— cross—channel ferry and the french warship— cross—channel ferry and the french warship ,— cross—channel ferry and the french warship , which we're french warship, which we're trytng— french warship, which we're trytng-gtwtng- french warship, which we're trying giving france £480 trying we're giving france £480 ntnton— trying we're giving france £480 ntttton oer— trying we're giving france £480 million over three— trying we're giving france £480 million over three years to stop tteee— million over three years to stop tteee ntgront— million over three years to stop these migrant illegal migrant eroeetneg— these migrant illegal migrant crossings across— these migrant illegal migrant crossings across the channel. ant— crossings across the channel. ant w-wee— crossings across the channel. ant got— crossings across the channel. and we've got a— crossings across the channel. and we've got a french warship eeeorttng— and we've got a french warship eeeorttng tte— and we've got a french warship escorting the migrants across the channel. _

escorting the migrants across the channel. yes,- escorting the migrants across the channel. 722 ”22; the channel. yes, this really exposes the limits of the deals that have been reached with france, which really are land based deals rather than water based deals rather than water based deals, if we want to put it in those crude terms, the number of patrols across beaches has massively increased. we now have joint patrols as part funded by france, part funded by the united kingdom, a detention centre being constructed in france as well. however as soon as any migrant gets into the water, suddenly the french put up their hands and say not our issue. this is now the british issue. they want rid of them. they— issue. they want rid of them. they wet.— issue. they want rid of them. they wett. tney— issue. they want rid of them. they well, they clearly don't want to be taking them back and there is no returns agreement between the united kingdom and france. it's something that might on in a might be worked on in a multilateral way the coming multilateral way in the coming years. that's something that rishi been trying to rishi sunak has been trying to achieve and the forum for achieving might be achieving that might be something calais something called the calais group, which is northern european that meet european countries that meet biannually . so we might well see biannually. so we might well see more progress on that in coming months, but don't think anyone months, but i don't think anyone is anything any time

is expecting anything any time soon things stand , as soon as soon as things stand, as soon as a migrant boat can get into the sea, even if it's only a couple of feet into the sea, even if it's only an inch into the sea, the french will not touch it. it's astonishing. they miss all tteee— it's astonishing. they miss all tteee totte — it's astonishing. they miss all these boats. i— it's astonishing. they miss all these boats. i mean, how many ttoweonte— these boats. i mean, how many thousands have— these boats. i mean, how many thousands have come here? thousands have come over here? ant— thousands have come over here? ant-entren— thousands have come over here? and-british trawler- thousands have come over here? and british trawler in and yet one british trawler in the and yet one british trawler in tte-wotere— and yet one british trawler in the _water? -and i the wrong water? yeah. and tntt-e— the wrong water? yeah. and ttot-e rt.— the wrong water? yeah. and that's it. we're— the wrong water? yeah. and that's it. we're in trouble. and of that's it. we're in trouble. and ot eoweeo-t- that's it. we're in trouble. and of course,-to move. that's it. we're in trouble. and of course, to move on. of course, we have to move on. stnt— of course, we have to move on. ana-tone,— of course, we have to move on. still-come, we'll— of course, we have to move on. still-come, we'll be- of course, we have to move on. still come, we'll be looking still to come, we'll be looking at still to come, we'll be looking ot—tne— still to come, we'll be looking ot—tne rtetng- still to come, we'll be looking at_the rising costj at the damage, the rising cost of at the damage, the rising cost ot-te— at the damage, the rising cost ot-te towng- at the damage, the rising cost of-is having on- of childcare is having on worttng— of childcare is having on working families. you're wotettng— working families. you're watching .the - working families. you're watching the point on
