stands by that decision despite criticism from human rights groups. rishi sunak, who will meet mr biden in london on monday ahead of the nato summit, says britain is supporting kyiv in other ways . in other ways. >> uk is signatory to a convention which prohibits the production or use of cluster munitions and discourages their use. we will continue to do our part to support ukraine against russias illegal and unprovoked invasion. we've done that by providing heavy battle tanks and most recently long—range weapons , and hopefully all countries can continue to support ukraine. >> demonstrators have been protesting against plans to house asylum seekers on a barge in dorset. it follows reports that the bibby stockholm, which can accommodate 500 people, could arrive later on this week. neither stand up to racism. dorset or no to the barge group. want it moored at portland port as part of the government's plan to reduce costs by moving migrants out of hotel rooms .

programmes for the whole of britain in the big story with concerns over range , cost and concerns over range, cost and environmental impact . is it game environmental impact. is it game over for electric cars .7 i'll be over for electric cars.7 i'll be asking maverick fleet street legend mike parry . plus, this legend mike parry. plus, this shocking scenes, as you'll have seen in our bulletin . former seen in our bulletin. former chancellor of the exchequer george osborne attacked or appearing to be attacked by just stop oil this is an absolute shocker and i'll be reacting in just a few minutes . my shocker and i'll be reacting in just a few minutes. my mark meets guest is britain's biggest theatre owner and the man who brought the lion king and many other hits to the uk and who has this week come under fire for the great crime of featuring a cake in an advert for his latest show about a wedding , paul gregg show about a wedding, paul gregg tells his incredible life story before the end of the hour. in my take at ten, world famous petrolhead lewis hamilton backs just stop oil. the hypocrisy of the elite knows no bounds . i'll

the elite knows no bounds. i'll be dealing with eco hypocrite lewis hamilton at ten. you won't want to miss it. as reports that prince harry is turning his back on the celebrity life in hollywood, is he beginning to regret his move to the us.7 meanwhile, regret his move to the us? meanwhile, william and kate at the polo, the royal marriage that goes from strength to strength. we'll get the inside story shortly . mark dolan story shortly. mark dolan tonight is the home of the papers with tomorrow's front pages at 1030 sharp with three top pundits who haven't been told what to say and who don't follow the script. tonight, david hamilton on kulveer rangen david hamilton on kulveer ranger, an ashlene horgan—wallace . tonight i'll be horgan—wallace. tonight i'll be asking the pundits as people are given a free car if they have an society. is the welfare state now out of control ? also, our now out of control? also, our remote work skiving off and our high heels a hazard . plus your high heels a hazard. plus your emails, especially the spicy ones. mark gb news .com. lots of

things to get through at 10:00 we may be able to reveal the identity of the bbc star who has allegedly paid a teenager for images that's in the papers when that breaks, you'll be the first to hear all about it on mark dolan tonight. now this show has a golden rule. we don't do boring. not on my watch. i just won't have it, especially on a saturday night. get to saturday night. let's get to work start out with my work and we start out with my big opinion . this is what i call big opinion. this is what i call a drama. the male newspaper report that audiences for the flagship bbc show eastenders have plummeted, with viewers complaining about woke storylines . this includes storylines. this includes apparent snipes at brexit and a focus on climate change and veganism . there are now fears veganism. there are now fears for the future of the show. after suffering its lowest ever viewing figures in recent years, with as few as 1.3 million tuned

in compared to the 4 million regularly watching coronation street. so how woke is the soap? well, in 2021, the eastenders schoolgirl character bailey baken schoolgirl character bailey baker. no. me neither has stood outside walford east station and urged the residents to sign a petition for meat free mondays. here's what she said . and mass here's what she said. and mass produced industrial meat is literally killing the planet at global livestock production makes a huge amount of greenhouse gases that they need to be reduced to save the planet. it causes deforested ocean, it causes pollution . ocean, it causes pollution. don't you care that there are floods and droughts ? well, to be floods and droughts? well, to be honest, no. i don't. i tuned in to forget about the problems of my own life. and dare i say it, to be entertained. this character's rant was later tweeted by the official eastenders account, tweeted by the official eastenders account , since they eastenders account, since they were clearly keen to get the message out. there may be greta thunberg should start pulling

pints in the queen vic. thunberg should start pulling pints in the queen vic . after pints in the queen vic. after all, she's a bit of a drama queen herself, isn't she? how dare you? how dare you ? last dare you? how dare you? last week there was some upset when brexit was likened to the covid pandemic , with sharon watts pandemic, with sharon watts throwing a drink in rival sam mitchell's face and saying, we've had brexit and covid, we don't need you here. but what about this character? konrad topolski was subject to racism after poles go home. was sprayed on the door of the queen vic in red paint. another character, mick carter, then removed it using a jet washer as conrad said, this is the britain we live in now. the storyline was attacked by viewers who accused the show of a hamfisted attack on brexit. it does look like the bbc bosses are getting desperate to attract viewers back by bringing back from the dead their iconic character, cindy beale , played by michelle beale, played by michelle

collins . the far fetched collins. the far fetched storyline claims she wasn't dead at all. oh no, she's been hidden away in a witness protection programme. lucky her. i'm assuming that means she didn't have to watch this boring soap opera during the pandemic. i watched a bizarre scene myself set in the cafe at albert square in which a character was hesitant about taking the vaccine and was lectured about the importance of the jab protecting others . and it was protecting others. and it was all about misinformation from anti—vaxxers. is it really the job of a tv soap opera which is there to entertain , to brainwash there to entertain, to brainwash people into taking a novel medication? what if you saw that scene? were in a low risk group, got the jab and then suffered rare side effects ? do you see rare side effects? do you see the problem? the bbc have defended eastenders , arguing it defended eastenders, arguing it scooped a bunch of awards at a recent tv bash voted for by the public, and the show does well on the catch up service. the bbc

ipso player. but the reality is that the viewership of this programme is dwindling. why? because of its finger wagging, highly politicised storylines which is why the organisation's decision . to spend £87 million decision. to spend £87 million of your money and mine upgrading the eastenders set. surely that's a strange decision . but that's a strange decision. but that's a strange decision. but that's the problem with the pubuc that's the problem with the public sector when it's someone else's money, they don't care. the problems at eastenders reflect a wider cultural issue within the organisation , which within the organisation, which in my view doesn't make programmes for the whole of the population anymore, but rather for the islington dwelling elite whose values and politics they seek to extol across their output. the more interesting drama at the beeb is behind the scenes with a high profile star taken off air whilst allegations he paid for a youngster to do images are investigated . so who images are investigated. so who could this mystery star be? hm. i'm guessing pudsey. you know

pudsey bear . i'm guessing pudsey. you know pudsey bear. i've always thought he was a wrong'un . what's he he was a wrong'un. what's he been looking at with that one? good eye of his hilariously outgoing bbc chairman, richard sharp, who isn't the sharpest tool in the box , thinks the tool in the box, thinks the licence fee should perhaps be means tested. so if your home is worth a bit more, you pay more a lot of people are forced to pay the licence fee that don't watch the licence fee that don't watch the bbc to make some pay more for something they don't even watch could provoke an outright revolution in imagine paying 3 or £400 for the licence fee because you've got a spare room or you live on a nice street. welcome to hell . so talk of what welcome to hell. so talk of what to do with the licence fee in my view is like rearrange changing the deck chairs on the title . the deck chairs on the title. vic the honest truth is it's got to go altogether and forget about eastenders. the bbc itself has become a ludicrous soap opera and viewers and listeners increasingly find the whole thing a turn off. if .

thing a turn off. if. there we are. your reaction . there we are. your reaction. market gb news dot com. i'll get to your emails very shortly and in a few minutes i'll be reacting to what looks to be attack and attack by just stop oil on george osborne's wedding ring. but reacting to my big opinion tonight, my top pundits, tv and radio presenter david hamilton and former adviser to mayor boris johnson, kulveer ranger and tv personality and actress ashlene horgan—wallace ashlene is the bbc now institutionally woke ? institutionally woke? >> i think so, and i think that this big story that's coming out tomorrow is just the icing on the cake for me. i think eastenders as well. i used to love it . it used to be my go to love it. it used to be my go to show, but it's so, so depressing. it became so

ludicrous. and the subject matters that they put in there was just so horrible and dark and depressing that i just had to switch off. so yeah, i think bbc needs to be banned. >> well, you know, the thing is, obviously it's got a great legacy. i'm not saying that we axe the bbc. i think there's a question mark about the licence fee but also it's time to fee covid but also it's time to take politics out these soaps take politics out of these soaps , it? , isn't it? >> it's interesting. i'd like to say informed about where say i'm informed about where eastenders is nowadays, but i'm like, , used watch like, actually, i used to watch it. remember the first ever it. i remember the first ever episode actually it episode where actually it started someone started off with someone croaking chair. and so croaking it in a chair. and so it's always been everyone's always dying. >> everyone's always >> yeah, everyone's always dying. back from dying. and then coming back from the not the the dead, sadly not the commissioning editor. >> yes. then den watts came >> yes. and then den watts came back, he? but so back, didn't he? but. but so it's been bit grim. it's always been a bit grim. it's always bit it's always been a bit depressing. but it was it does tend to want to reflect real life. and think i remember the life. and i think i remember the storylines about racism, about homosexuality the homosexuality, about the challenges drugs and challenges about drugs and really tough storylines that you could get actually entrenched in and understand a bit of character and drama. think the

character and drama. i think the challenge now is where the bbc is trying to be ahead of where maybe society is or actually is verging into political conversations, whether it's talking some of it they've talking and some of it they've mentioned brexit part or mentioned brexit in part or they've compared brexit to the covid 19 pandemic. >> would unfavourable, >> that would be unfavourable, wouldn't right. so i think you >> that's right. so i think you do be careful. and it's do have to be careful. and it's also as were saying, also about, as you were saying, mark, think this is mark, i think this is the problem. people have, which is that overarching mindset of the bbc . one of that overarching mindset of the bbc. one of the things that we find creative find now in creative environments, it be, you environments, whether it be, you know, the platforms that are emerging apple emerging like netflix and apple tv and others, is that the creativity is quite distinct from the core corporate organisation. they bring in very specific creative people to produce very interesting shows and dramas. now does the bbc do that? and i think that's a challenge to its creative department. can it disengage its political, its sort of central controlling mind from all the product that it produces? >> the bbc could rightly argue, couldn't they, david, that

eastenders is an opportunity to be a mirror to our society and to draw attention to issues like anti—vax misinformation, to the downside of brexit, to racism in our cities. perhaps eastenders is an important mirror to society. >> i haven't met like ashley, i haven't watched eastenders for many years because i found it extremely depressing and enough depressing things in the real world. >> i always preferred coronation street , which had that lovely street, which had that lovely nonh street, which had that lovely north country humour until that also started going down the tubes by ridiculous storylines of people being murdered. and, you know , they were always you know, they were always looking for more ratings . that looking for more ratings. that was the problem. and i think as far as eastenders is concerned, if they're trying to get some sort of woke message across , sort of woke message across, thatis sort of woke message across, that is not going to improve their audiences by by any means i >> -- >> okay. >> okay. >> well, look, on a weekly basis, the bbc on the radio, on television and online is watched and consumed by many millions of people. so they're clearly doing

something right. what is your view , mark, at gb news .com. view, mark, at gb news .com. coming up next in the big story, is it game over for electric cars? plus, my reaction to what looks to have been an attack by just stop oil on george osborne's wedding and absolute shocker i'll react to that next that warm feeling inside from boxed boilers proud sponsors of weather on gb news news. >> hello there . i'm greg >> hello there. i'm greg dewhurst and welcome to your latest gb news weather forecast, where we continue to see some heavy showers possible thunderstorms through the rest of the weekend and still fairly warm and humid across the uk. looking at the bigger picture in this area of low pressure just sits to the west of us allowing that warm air to come up from the near continent. developing those clouds those shower clouds and thunderstorms uk thunderstorms across the uk right the of the right through the rest of the weekend. and we still have thundery showers across the northern saturday northern east this saturday evening . could some local evening. could be some local disruption, some longer spells of for scotland. north east

radio. >> he is the bbc's eastenders is losing millions of viewers because of finger wagging storylines and awoke outlook. >> well, i think the bbc altogether is institute nationally woke and we're paying for it so what do you think that's the topic of my big opinion which you'll be able to catch up on on twitter very shortly at gb news. but the emails are coming in thick and fast. hi mark, says richard, i don't watch the and i've don't watch the bbc and i've never seen eastenders. i'd rather canal. the rather have root canal. the licence fee is a dinosaur in a digital world. scrap it. jeffrey says it's time this joke was made to either go subscription only or advertising supported. the real question is why it's allowed a monopoly . no other allowed a monopoly. no other company is allowed such a monopoly. glenda says. hi mark. i'm becoming a little tired. oh, no , that's an old. that's an old

no, that's an old. that's an old email. forgive that's about bofis email. forgive that's about boris johnson. glenda thank you, though. keep those emails coming . gbnews.com com. if . mark at gbnews.com com. if you're just joining us, a developing story . it appears to developing story. it appears to be the case that the campaign group just stop oil have attacked george osborne, the chancellor of the exchequer, on his wedding day earlier today. take a look at this. yeah so mr osborne and his wife have come out of church. greta family and friends at which point they appear to be set upon by a just stop oil campaigner throwing orange confetti on the bride and the groom . now, i think this the groom. now, i think this attack is reprehensible , whether attack is reprehensible, whether you like george osborne or you don't like him, that's not the issue. it's a private occasion. it's their wedding day . how does it's their wedding day. how does this make him feel ? how does it this make him feel? how does it make the bride feel? how does it make the bride feel? how does it make the bride feel? how does it make the family and friends feel on what should be a special day ? just henri paul a part of a

political debate about how to tackle the issue of climate change. what you don't do is attack individuals on a private occasion, risking their safety and ruining what should be the best day of their lives. it's an absolute disgrace. it's just stop oil just stop it. absolute disgrace. it's just stop oil just stop it . let's get stop oil just stop it. let's get reaction now from one of the most respected journalists in the country, fleet street legend mike parry. mike, your reaction to what appears to be an attack on a couple on their wedding day by a political group? yeah i'm not that sympathetic, actually . not that sympathetic, actually. >> not as sympathetic as you are to george osborne. >> i mean, look , if fans at >> i mean, look, if fans at cricket matches and fans at wimbledon have to put up with terrible inconvenience because they're just stop you know they're just stop oil, you know , out of control, people think they can wreck anything in life. >> why should george osborne, who was one of the worst chancellors of the exchequer we've ever had in this country and has caused some real

economic chaos in this country, why should he be immune? you know, george osborne's the guy who went and got himself about a dozen jobs after he left the officer, the office of chancellor of the exchequer . he chancellor of the exchequer. he believes himself to be a gilded lily. he believes himself to be immune to life's pressures . and immune to life's pressures. and i'm glad that some of life's pressures that we're suffering , pressures that we're suffering, we, the public, we the sports fans, the problems we're suffering from these out of control protesters have come right home to george osborne . right home to george osborne. i'm i'm glad that he's actually had to suffer the same sort of problems today. individually as we're all suffering collectively from those people who would want to disrupt our society . they to disrupt our society. they disrupt the cricket and the tennis. they disrupt roads . why tennis. they disrupt roads. why shouldn't they disrupt the wedding of the former chancellor of the exchequer, who amongst many other things, killed off the buy to let industry in this country and have caused people enormous economic pain ?

enormous economic pain? >> indeed. so now, mike, moving on to our next story, top science author matt ridley writing in this weekend's daily mail , has writing in this weekend's daily mail, has criticised electric cars as saying that due to concerns over range cost access to charging points, a reliance on china for the technology and questionable environmental benefits. he's going to wait until the very last minute and purchase a brand new petrol car before the ban on these vehicles kicks in in 2030. meanwhile, some electric car owners have seen the value of their vehicles plummet in value by thousands already this year as demand for second hand battery models continues to crash . mike, is it continues to crash. mike, is it game over for the electric car? >> well, i couldn't quite understand matt's argument, actually. i read that piece as you did as well. and i thought, well, unless he wants to keep it as a museum piece, i can't quite see the logic of his argument. i'm not sure it's the end for the electric car, but it

blinking well, should be electric cars are a complete and utter con trick. they're a fraud . add on any free wheeling economy, i mean, only this week we saw the national grid opening talks with industry to say , can talks with industry to say, can you please turn down the amount of power you use over the winter 7 of power you use over the winter ? because we're not sure we can provide enough electric city, enough gas to make sure that industry can get through the winter. now, if that's the case at the moment, when we haven't got too many electric cars , what got too many electric cars, what on earth is it going to be like if the government get their way and by 2030 we're all driving electric cars. the country will literally grind to a halt. what about the other major problems of electric cars? the fact that the batus charges are actually one third of the whole mass of an electric car? so what i mean by that is, is that they are so

heavy that they cause potholes. electric cars are so heavy that local authorities are having to look at the construction of their multi—storey car parks because if they let too many electric cars in the car parks might collapse. a local authorities are also having to look at the structure of their bndges look at the structure of their bridges because electric cars are so heavy, they might literally collapse bridges if there are too many of them on there are too many of them on the bridge at the same time, only this morning i was talking to somebody who knows all about this. and if an electric car is taken into a garage after having a shunt, we all know what a shunt is. mark, i'm sure you know during your long and distinguished career as a journalist, you've been career around the world and the cars bumped into the car in front. that has to then go to a garage to be fixed. electric cars have to be fixed. electric cars have to be fixed. electric cars have to be distance at at least 15ft from any other vehicle because

when an electric car has a bump, it could fracture the battery. the battery being one third of the whole construction of the car, almost the whole floor, because batteries can burst into flames. and there's been incidents of this happening and set fire to vehicles next to them. the whole electric car policy is mad ipsis we haven't got enough charge points. if we have enough charge points to serve everybody's electric car by 2030, we'd have to stop installing nearly . 10,000 a day installing nearly. 10,000 a day between now and 2030. the whole thing is a complete fallacy. it's an utter nonsense. we'd have to build at least one new nuclear power station between now and 2030. and how long have we been trying to build the power station we've been building? since 2013, which is not open yet. size will see is not open yet. size will see is not open yet. we'd have to find another one to power the electric cars . it's a nonsense.

electric cars. it's a nonsense. we just haven't got enough electricity in this country to power them. when people get into them. it's a pity. it's a cold night and they've got the lights on. they've got their radio on and they've got their heating on because the car then its capacity to drive distance wise is reduced by one third as the electricity drains into keeping the car on the road. >> yeah, well, there's one thing that's true. you could power an entire city on mike parry's energy. mike, thank you for your no nonsense takedown of just stop oil and the electric car industry. of course , there is industry. of course, there is a counter—argument, folks. many would argue that electric cars are better for air pollution in. and of course, they're very , and of course, they're very, very clean in terms of carbon emissions and they generate a lot of jobs . so this show's all lot of jobs. so this show's all about opinions. what's yours, mark at gb news .com coming up next with the pundits as people are given a free car if they have anxiety . you heard me have anxiety. you heard me right. is the welfare state now

out of control also , our remote out of control also, our remote workers skiving off. and how about this? our high heels a hazard plus the results of our poll is the bbc institutionally woke the results of that are

show. is it game over for electric cars ? electric cars? >> the emails are coming in thick and fast. yvonne says progress 2023. instead of sending children up chimneys, the world now sends them down. cobbled mines and on the bbc it's the bbc. institutionally woke. what do you think of the licence fee? elaine says, mark, my husband and i have not watched the bbc for over two years. i'm 79 and i'm having to renew the licence costing £159. it really annoys me having to pay it really annoys me having to pay fat cat wages when i don't watch the fat cats. gb news for me every time i did watch coronation street avidly from the first episode until ten years ago, now we watch other

providers than itv . et cetera. providers than itv. et cetera. elaine, thank you for that market gb news .com. i'll get to more of your emails shortly, but we've been conducting an exclusive mark dolan tonight text poll and i've been asking is the bbc institutionally woke while the results are in? and it looks to be a resounding 95% say yes it is. 5% say no. i think reflecting genuine , deep seated reflecting genuine, deep seated concerns about our national broadcaster and why do we care about this? why do we rant about it? why do we debate it? because we're paying for it. keep those views coming. market gb news .com reacting to the big stories of the day. tv and radio presenter david hamilton , ex presenter david hamilton, ex adviser to boris johnson, kulveer ranger and tv personality, actress and entrepreneur sir ashleen horgan—wallace . now, if you've horgan—wallace. now, if you've ever wondered where the taxpayers money goes, it's not just the bbc. i've got news for you people on benefits with mental health issues can get a car worth £40,000. that's right.

people who say they are immobilised by anxiety or depression can claim 40,000 to get cars . and that's if they're get cars. and that's if they're on benefits with no need to have a physical disability . pity for a physical disability. pity for the actual scheme . so as people the actual scheme. so as people are given a free car, if they're in a bad mood or have anxiety, is the welfare state now out of control? kulveer well, it's challenging, isn't it? >> the headline does not read well for us because we're wondering, okay, where does the level stop at? £40,000 is a hell of a lot of money. we do know that there are there are more people nowadays suffering with mental health issues. and there is some serious concerns about what's happening across society. is some serious concerns about wha'we1appening across society. is some serious concerns about wha'we do pening across society. is some serious concerns about wha'we do needg across society. is some serious concerns about wha'we do need to cross society. is some serious concerns about wha'we do need to address:iety. is some serious concerns about wha'we do need to address those and we do need to address those things. but we have to have some balance around how it's addressed. only thing addressed. and the only thing that are that we're seeing are disproportionate like disproportionate figure like £40,000. and i don't know the detail of particular detail of that particular policy, but we must question it. we must look at saying, is this the right way of helping those people ? people? >> of course it's not. sorry to

butt in, but it really angers me. i've suffered with depression and anxiety . i depression and anxiety. i wouldn't dream of trying to get a free car to go out to try and make myself feel better. the last thing that you want to do when you're having anxiety is leave your house. that's the last thing that you want to do. and if you do, for example, to go to work, why can't we fund taxis there and back? you don't need 24 hours a day, seven need a car 24 hours a day, seven days a week or like cbt. so therapy in order to fix your anxiety and fix your depression and ways of working around life so you can function and get through day to day activities without having to have a 40 grand car, it makes me sick. it really does indeed . really does indeed. >> the voice of common sense clearly if you have mental health issues, that is a real concern. you should see your gp. it should be taken very, very seriously . but it should be taken very, very seriously. but i don't think it merits a car that would basically be 40 grand. that's an audi, isn't it? >> i just say one thing here very quickly, david, if you had

anxiety, the last thing in the world would want to is world you would want to do is drive a car. that's what i just said, because driving a car is particularly nowadays is extremely you extremely stressful. so you know, you give a car to know, would you give a car to people who've anxiety? people who've got anxiety? >> also, here's the thing. >> but also, here's the thing. lots people may be watching lots of people may be watching the to a show, the show listening to a show, have that have anxiety issues and that should addressed. should be addressed. but unfortunately this condition unfortunately, this condition is not provable and many will exploit the system. isn't it? because you can't fake a physical disability ? but you can physical disability? but you can say, i'm having a bad day, please can i have it would be okay. >> by the way, it would be okay. by the way, if you could get somebody to drive the car for you, well, that would would make sense, but not if you're going to drive it yourself. i'm sorry. well, there you go. >> fair enough. it's all >> look, fair enough. it's all about working about opinions. remote working is on rise with 33% of is on the rise with 33% of businesses letting their employees from anywhere . employees log in from anywhere. supporters remote life supporters of the remote life argued that it improves work life balance. but, of course, who wouldn't want to be sending emails whilst tanning on a beach? however, remote critics

say this will decrease productivity and stop people from really connecting this is related a story today's related to a story in today's mail which people have mail online in which people have sent pictures of their workplace . one woman on the beach, one person in a hotel in singapore and another doing a backpacking trip. is that acceptable, david here is a message from your paddleboard . paddleboard. >> and yes, exactly. incredible isn't it? >> does it matter? i mean, you work from home, don't you do your radio show boom radio? >> i do, yes. i work from home. and you're not a sky? >> actually, no. >> actually, no. >> started during the >> actually started during the pandemic realise that pandemic and they realise that it's cheaper than having it's much cheaper than having a studio. continue to work studio. so we continue to work from home. all i do is go upstairs, i'm actually upstairs, but i'm not actually on holiday. may sound like it on holiday. it may sound like it if you listen to my show , you if you listen to my show, you may think i'm on holiday, but i'm actually. but some of i'm not, actually. but some of these stories that you come up with, honestly, you couldn't make could you? make them up, could you? >> astonishing . make them up, could you? >> people )nishing . make them up, could you? >> people )nisiactually reporting >> people are actually reporting from holiday. >> does it matter if you do your work? you're software engineer work? you're a software engineer called you're i don't called veer and you're i don't know, in las know, the caesars palace in las vegas. does it matter?

billion a year in tax and any incentives we give them is for the investment we want them to make in green renewables, of which i'm sure portas is a fan. i hate to break it to you, but the government doesn't have the money to build an energy infrastructure. we either work with these businesses or we don't, which is why sir keir starmer is insane. decision to cancel oil and gas licences should he get into number 10 has been rejected. even by his own trade unions. given been rejected. even by his own trade unions . given the been rejected. even by his own trade unions. given the impact it will have on jobs , future it will have on jobs, future energy security and the disincentive it places on energy firms to help turn the country green? i sometimes feel we're living in a parallel universe . s living in a parallel universe. s for petrolhead lewis hamilton, britain's most famous gas guzzler to become an eco warrior is beyond irony. that's like kim jong un of north korea nominating himself for the nobel peace prize, or fred west putting himself forward as celebrity dad of the year. the elite can't even see their own

hypocrisy . lewis hamilton hypocrisy. lewis hamilton backing just stop oil shows that these woke celebrities know no shame. he's a wonderful sporting talent and a great british role model, but he should stick to driving polluting cars around a track rather than lecturing us about the environment. from his smoky garage, this famous f1 star can f. off i like lewis hamilton an i don't like his double standards. your reaction, mark at gb news .com. i'll get to your email shortly. reacted to your email shortly. reacted to my take at ten tv and radio presenter david hamilton former adviser to boris johnson kulveer ranger and tv personality , ranger and tv personality, actress and entrepreneur. as charlene horgan—wallace covid. this smacks of double standards. >> well, we're all getting a bit sick and tired of celebrity activism. and if it's celebrities or sportspeople, i think you're right, mark, you know, you've really called out

>> you're listening to gb news radio . it's time for us news

radio. it's time for us news with the queen of american showbiz royal and political reporting , showbiz royal and political reporting, kinsey showbiz royal and political reporting , kinsey schofield. reporting, kinsey schofield. >> kinsey, to great have you back on the show again . and back on the show again. and harry walks away from the celebrity life . celebrity life. >> mark, i'm calling garbage on this story. >> i don't think that this story is even remotely true . i want to is even remotely true. i want to throw it back . i want you to throw it back. i want you to think about those photos, those famous photos of prince harry with p diddy and kanye west . the with p diddy and kanye west. the ellie goulding, idris elba . ellie goulding, idris elba. idris elba, deejayed, his wedding. you cannot tell me that prince harry does not love the celebrity lifestyle. you cannot tell me that prince harry is pushing back on hollywood and celebrity . he dated an actress . celebrity. he dated an actress. he pursued an actress . he dated he pursued an actress. he dated caroline flack. >> god rest her soul. >> god rest her soul. >> you know, this is a guy that has pursued the entertainment business through the women he's

dated. i'm sorry. me i'm not buying it. mark i don't. i just buying it. mark i don't. ijust don't think that this is a legitimate story . legitimate story. >> and what about news that they are to pursue solo projects ? are to pursue solo projects? >> aukus is that only professional or does that imply a fisher and small cracks within the relationship itself ? the relationship itself? >> yeah, i mean, i think this whole idea of prince harry rejecting hollywood stems from this story that he's going to pursue to a documentary in africa . while meghan markle has africa. while meghan markle has signed with william morris endeavour and is going to pursue some more entertainment. you know, faux pas wokeist ventures. but that i think, is coming from some very savvy pr people that are saying the sussex brand is currently tainted. the sussex brand is not, you know, it . it's brand is not, you know, it. it's got bad vibes right now , some got bad vibes right now, some bad juju. so go off in your different directions. excel where we know you have in the past . meghan with a blog. meghan past. meghan with a blog. meghan with a lifestyle blog and prince

harry with these charity ventures that are sincerely important to him. and then once people see celebrate you for succeeding in those arenas , succeeding in those arenas, maybe you can come back together and do something sussex wise. but right now we associate harry and meghan and their brand with complaining, and meghan and their brand with complaining , with being complaining, with being ungrateful, with being entitled, and they've got to turn that around. otherwise they're not going to be able to continue to monetise their royal connections i >> however, what impact will it have on the relationship and the power balance between the two? if one of them becomes wildly more successful and popular than the other? oh, it's going to be so bad. >> you know it's going to be so bad. mark i do think that people will be more forgiving towards prince harry sooner than they would be towards meghan markle. she has she's kind of seen as the instigator and, you know , if the instigator and, you know, if you've read spare. you know that one of the few you know, that harry kind of pushed back on

royal life from the get go that he always was kind of resentful of his position in the world. and meghan really lit the match underneath him to leave and to pursue other opportunities , as pursue other opportunities, as i do think people will be more forgiving towards prince harry. additionally if he continues to pursue charity work, because that's why we fell in love with him in the first place, seeing how selfless he could be, it reminded us of his mother, princess diana . so if meghan princess diana. so if meghan wants to go selling crock pots and, you know, blend unders while prince harry is like, please look at what's going on here in africa, i really want us all to chip in and to try to make this world a better place. it's going to come off. it's not going to come off very good for meghan. so i do think that that harry's going to be the one that's forgiven first, if at all. >> well, okay, well, look, let's talk now about william and kate at the polo. the royal marriage

goes from strength to strength raising over £1 million for multiple charities. >> and i think the idea of prince william hitting the winning goal, prince william hitting the winning goal , the idea of him winning goal, the idea of him jumping off of his horse, embracing his wife , kissing his embracing his wife, kissing his wife, seeing some of those, you know, public displays of affection. that's the fairy tale we all love. that's what we really that's, you know, the fantasy that that melts all of our hearts , especially the young our hearts, especially the young girls that grew up thinking they were supposed to be the ones to marry it's just marry prince william. it's just the perfect visual. and we need to see more of this from the royal family. this it's it weeds out the noise. it buries those negative headlines from america, from the sussexes these are such special , unique, beautiful special, unique, beautiful moments . and on top of all of moments. and on top of all of that, raising a significant amount of for money causes that are really important to prince william. indeed

>> so listen, he cuts quite a fine figure these days, doesn't he? our future king and in fact , fans of the prince of wales have said that whilst he was doing the polo this weekend , he doing the polo this weekend, he had something called king energy. do you have any idea what king energy is ? what king energy is? >> i mean, i imagine it's sort of related to what they say about pete davidson. davidson's energy no, i mean, he's very handsome. he's very confident . handsome. he's very confident. he is very carisma matic. he's kind. i think i told you one of the last times i was out there, you just showed video of it when catherine was in red, i went to soho and got the chance to be around them and to say hi to them. and i was so sincerely surprised by how kind and uplifting. and he, you know , uplifting. and he, you know, prince william was more of a character than i ever imagined. he was so , um, i always felt he was so, um, i always felt like he was going to be closed off and perhaps cold. and it was

the opposite of that. so i think that that's what they're describing , this this openness, describing, this this openness, this kindness. and you know, he's an uplifting he's an uplifting individual and improving with age, just like kinsey schofield . kinsey schofield. >> kinsey will see you in a week's time. have a great week. thank you. the queen of us showbiz royal and political reporting. check out her podcast to die for daily and her website of the same name. we've got the papers next and hopefully a bit more on this scandal at the bbc . see you into

branches need places branches when people need places to go to in the community. and there's that's doing the there's a bank that's doing the opposite quick for opposite of that quick plug for metro bank. have no vested metro bank. i have no vested interest, don't have a or interest, don't have a share or an there, but they're an account there, but they're doing in the community and doing more in the community and other banks should look at what they're other banks should look at what theywhen it gets hard, when it but when it gets hard, when it gets difficult, what they can do for us because have put our for us because we have put our money with them, we're money in with them, we're showing trust faith. they showing trust and faith. they need but need to repay that, but especially should repay the especially they should repay the fact when they were in fact that when they were in trouble, the taxpayer trouble, it was the taxpayer that out don't that bailed them out and don't forget politicians forget and our politicians shouldn't forget and our politicians shoit's1't forget and our politicians shoit's worth noting that the >> it's worth noting that the banks are worried about money laundering the implications laundering and the implications of exposed people, of politically exposed people, and ordered by the and they've been ordered by the government to be on lookout government to be on the lookout for i guess they're for that. so i guess they're being cautious. >> there's cautiousness >> well, there's cautiousness and just and then there's sort of just general regulation that, general blanket regulation that, you know, politically exposed people. i might be considered one of them. and, you know, i'd be concerned because at the end of the we're talking about of the day, we're talking about the person there who the average person out there who wants and most wants a bank account. and most people average people. when people are average people. when you talk about exposed people, those have

those are people who may have some real serious relationships in organisations. in multinational organisations. you , trading in different you know, trading in different kinds of commodities and various things that influence around politics. a complex politics. there's a complex nature of what peps were meant to be, not the average politician or the average person who the bank should be supporting and helping. and i think they can't apply all these rules. they should look carefully customer carefully and put their customer first. in business. we first. we were in business. we talk about put customer talk about put your customer first. what are their needs? people need help right now. people need help right now. people need help right now. people need reassurance. they want stability . why is it a2a2 want stability. why is it a2a2 year rate mortgage is higher than a five year rate when they know that rates will go know that interest rates will go down? they're down? you know, they're really taking a liberty in terms of looking at people who are desperate right now who might need two year rates. they're need two year rates. and they're taking that taking advantage of that situation. now, there's a commercial imperative, but there's also an ethical imperative. and banks don't imperative. and if banks don't act i think people will act now, i think people will respond in due course and politicians respond how politicians will respond in how we regulation around banks. >> i remember years ago, i actually knew my bank manager and occasionally he'd take me

out for lunch and he would give me wonderful advice things me wonderful advice on things to do things not to do. now if do and things not to do. now if you can find a bank, you never get to talk to anybody at all, never mind a bank manager. >> so. well listen, >> indeed. so. well listen, folks, there's only one story in town in relation to the papers. it's across the board mail on sunday bbc crisis over top star in sex photos probe mirror the telegraph, you name it. across the board . the former home the board. the former home secretary priti patel has spoken out. so we're going to bring you a lot more intel on this. anything that we can get our hands on because it's clear that it's a major bbc star who has allegedly paid thousands for images from a teenager. who is this person? did the bbc act quickly enough? have they acted in a proper way? all of that next. plus, my pundits will be nominating their headline heroes and back page zeros . don't go and back page zeros. don't go anywhere. see you .

margaret thatcher, who was the prime minister time, did prime minister at the time, did you smell a with regard you ever smell a rat with regard to jemmy savile or was he that convinced thing? that i heard a lot of rumours, but you know, you can't act on rumours . and so you can't act on rumours. and so that's all it was. he didn't mix with the i have to say this, he didn't mix with the other djs. he kept himself very much to himself at and he was really a loner . loner. >> well, let me tell you, in this developing story on twitter, the legendary showbiz agent and friend of the show , agent and friend of the show, jonathan shalit, has tweeted the following just come through on my whatsapp. and he says, all the names being speculated and are not the culprits when the name is revealed. all will be surprised. there are valid reasons why it's not been revealed yet. it is not an entertainment or sports presenter, so there are many suggested should not not be sullied in this way. how about that though? covid when the name is revealed, all will be

surprised. well it seems like we're in for a bit of a shock, but also, you know, we're obviously seeing this coming hard on the heels of the phillip schofield scandal at itv and we all know, look, power corrupts . all know, look, power corrupts. >> absolute power corrupts absolutely . we're seeing an absolutely. we're seeing an imbalance. the real issue in these things that we've seen is these things that we've seen is these household names, potentially household names, and the influence that they're having, particularly over young people . and it's worrying. it's people. and it's worrying. it's worrying for all of us because we like to trust the people that we're looking at daily, letting them into our lives, letting them into our lives, letting them into our homes. them into our lives, letting them into our homes . we watch them into our homes. we watch them into our homes. we watch them television . and if that them on television. and if that trust gets eroded further, i think there's a real problem for television. but television personalities . so i think that personalities. so i think that we don't want more more stories like if they do happen. like this. if they do happen. and i think that's where dame priti patel is having her say as well. we need organisations like the bbc, like itv and any broadcast media organisation to potentially look at the rules that they have in place and

maybe tighten those things up potentially , yes, tighten them potentially, yes, tighten them up because we, the public don't want to see that on our tvs. well, those kinds of stories about the people we're looking at on our tv, we do we do want to see the stories. >> if it's, you know, the truth. and we're getting to the core of what's happened. so we have to hear about it. think it's hear about it. i think it's important stories do important that these stories do come the press, if that's come out in the press, if that's what's going on. >> it's like, oh, i'm not saying we see the story. all we shouldn't see the story. all right? that the right? i'm saying that the organisation to right? i'm saying that the orgaraboutn to right? i'm saying that the orgarabout should to right? i'm saying that the orgarabout should be to right? i'm saying that the orgarabout should be doingto right? i'm saying that the orgarabout should be doing more hear about should be doing more to stop these things happening. >> they should taking more >> they should be taking more seriously in seriously the rules that are in place, the guidance, the policy. >> you know, see a lot >> look, you know, we see a lot of nowadays, don't we, of policy nowadays, don't we, mark, oh mark, in these organisations? oh yes. we are aware that yes. but if we are aware that people in position of power people in a position of power can, you know, fall into these, how do you how would you place that though? >> you please somebody >> how would you please somebody said interesting where said something interesting where he lot of he said there was a lot of rumours but you do rumours but you can't do anything rumours. anything about rumours. >> you go. that's exactly. >> i'll tell you what i tell you. what amazes me, though, is that somebody in the position
