us take a look at the front pages. the daily mail kick off with an apology sorts from pages. the daily mail kick off with an butlogy sorts from pages. the daily mail kick off with an but silence sorts from pages. the daily mail kick off with an but silence from from pages. the daily mail kick off with an but silence from then cootes. but silence from the bbc. we have the telegraph bank boss says sorry to farage over accounts and there is a picture of her with the prime minister. guardian tax payer to fund 45% pay guardian tax payer to fund 45% pay rise for royals despite the cost of living crisis, the i paper has 1 in 6 people will be stuck on the nhs waiting list if doctor strikes continue. warn uk s top medics the daily express fury over plan to axe pension tax break and finally metro just stop foiled and those were your front pages as. so we kick stop foiled and those were your front pages as . so we kick off front pages as. so we kick off the in—depth look with the telegraph louis my good friend simon good to see you. >> yes bank boss says sorry to

farage over accounts natwest chief executive apologises for deeply inappropriate quote unquote dossier comments . of unquote dossier comments. of course she didn't apologise for it. >> she basically said we didn't mean anything that we said, but they they said it. they cancelled the person's account. this woman, dame alison rose, sounds like a jewish girl from great neck, where i grew up in new york. find that name very attractive. a chief attractive. she's a chief executive, natwest, owns executive, natwest, who owns coutts and it's i think it's it is a victory for nigel but i think it's more important it just shows that this is a major issue because if people started to take money out of natwest , to take money out of natwest, most people don't know what coutts bank is , but they know coutts bank is, but they know what natwest is , that the people what natwest is, that the people who watch this channel have banking at natwest and i think, i think if, if the tide turned and people said let's punish natwest for treating one of our own, this way and potentially in the future every one of us, you

or me, right .7 if that happens, or me, right.7 if that happens, it could be a bud light type situation with anheuser—busch in america . america. >> it would be, i think, very i mean, obviously, i can't determine whether that's likely to happen, but i think it'd be a very dangerous territory if we started treating banks in the same way we like beer same way that we do like beer brands, which fairly brands, which are fairly interchangeable. the interchangeable. but bank the banking think banking system. i think the important try and important thing is to try and not make that sort of, you know, another front . on the culture another front. on the culture war. >> it's bit late. i mean, they >> it's a bit late. i mean, they brought themselves. brought it on themselves. i mean, apparently is this mean, there apparently is this facebook 10,000 people facebook group of 10,000 people who accounts who have had their accounts closed by natwest. >> so if they all put in subject access then jams up >> so if they all put in subject accethe then jams up >> so if they all put in subject accethe amount then jams up >> so if they all put in subject accethe amount ofen jams up >> so if they all put in subject accethe amount of paperworkup just the amount of paperwork alone would be a big problem. so the has made a massive the bank has made a massive mistake and it is a victory for nigel farage and for freedom of expression the ceo, expression and also the ceo, though, what's though, if we look at what's happened here, i mean, she's been paid million in 2022. been paid 5.25 million in 2022. either you're aware of what's happening your department and happening in your department and you which is very you approve of it, which is very bad, or you're unaware of what's going on in your own bank, which

is also bad. so it's very bad for her. >> and fair, the comments >> and to be fair, the comments she's don't she's made simply don't tally with we've seen with what we've actually seen anyway. don't seem to anyway. no, they don't seem to connect with it. >> they say they do not >> no, they say they do not reflect the view of the bank, but they do reflect but they obviously do reflect the bank because i'm sorry. >> no, that's right. >> no, that's right. >> being polite >> we're being too polite tonight. like we like we work at a bank here it is. >> no, i want to. i want to say this clearly. it would be absolutely horrible that the banking is crucial. banking system is so crucial. but end of the day, i but at the end of the day, i think i think the bosses need the two problems. one the problem. two problems. one is the problem is, is that the is the problem is, is that the is bank owned by 25 is that the bank is owned by 25 or of the british public, or 30% of the british public, 38.6. >> $- @ was it was as high as >> and it was it was as high as 84% 2008. 84% post 2008. >> so when people say it's a private company, really true i >> entirely. >> entirely. >> not really. think the >> not really. but i think the most thing is that we, most important thing is that we, the people who are watching this, have power and maybe and maybe natwest has a problem . it maybe natwest has a problem. it will teach the powers that be in whitehall and also teach the bankers that the bank of england maybe it would be useful if you

went in to set up a bank account if they had a little list of what their values are and you know who they regarded as being inclusive who felt was inclusive and who they felt was a bit like our values are a little bit like our values are corporate authoritarianism. >> the >> and i know what is the guardian guardian going guardian got nick guardian going after our great king again. >> tax payer to fund 45% pay >> so tax payer to fund 45% pay rise for royals despite cost of living so charles has living crisis. so charles has been struggling in the cost of living crisis. so he's getting a pay living crisis. so he's getting a pay rise from the royal family's grant go from 86 grant issued to go from 86 million to 125 million. that's the sovereign grant, which is pegged the sovereign grant, which is pegged against the crown estate portfolio. now, the treasury was saying, look, the guardian claim, we always say the guardian claim, because, you know, fake news, the treasury was spinning it to give the impression king would be impression that king would be taking a cut. it's taking a pay cut. but it's actually pay rise. and the actually a big pay rise. and the treasury have sort of admitted that, the guardian. that, according to the guardian. >> yeah, you know, fair enough. >> it's another it's the argument i mean, you argument i mean, not that, you know, get down right, know, when you get down right, you to the basics, of you know, to the basics, of course can dispute course it's you can dispute whether not it it's fair that whether or not it it's fair that he has this estate . but

whether or not it it's fair that he has this estate. but is it pegged he has this estate. but is it pegged to the value of the estate is that's why it's gone up rather than. yeah. so in a sense that's an accurate that's an accurate representation of the facts on that. >> but it says once it goes up, it can never come down. so if the start money, the estate start losing money, it's going to have to come out of the, i the tax revenue of the, i guess the tax revenue from other other things. and the and the basic problem and i think the basic problem is, is that they're going to give him a 45% rise. there give him a 45% pay rise. there are people who are millions of other people who who have been cut short. and the other is are other thing is, is are the people i know station , i people i know this station, i know a like a royalist know you're a like a royalist and whatever, but is king and whatever, but it is king charles. does he represent britain or does he represent the one world kumbaya globalist world and the truth is, i think there's a war going on, and maybe i shouldn't say it, but there's a war between the people out there of england who are not being supported by i'm going to get into trouble. >> what you mean. >> i know what you mean. i support the sort of the institution we all love our queen. but but king charles is, of a woke and a bit

globalist. >> i agree. but they've narrowed. i mean, he i believe he has narrowed the terms of what the family what what is the royal family and those the number of and those people the number of people entitled to get people who are entitled to get some from the some sort of support from the state. if it is being funded state. but if it is being funded from his own property portfolio and that has increased in value, he's i know, he's i just i, i know, i understand that, you you understand that, you know, you might about that might claim about that, that it's was stolen. it was stolen, but it's 25% of the estates and ultimately isn't it property is theft. yeah. know it's set theft. yeah. you know it's set at 25% of the estate's net profits. >> it's all it's a complicated calculation to know exactly why it's gone up so much. >> that's what i'm intrigued by, because portfolios, because property portfolios, generally have had generally speaking, have had a bit time of it. yeah. bit of a rocky time of it. yeah. >> the last of years, >> the last couple of years, maybe it's not. maybe maybe maybe it's not. maybe it's maybe it because of the housing. >> he's probably invested very shrewdly. he probably owns belgium or something. yeah, but can i say something for the people watching me.7 people out there watching me.7 >> seen me in i >> they might have seen me in i think it was season three or season four of the where season four of the crown where i was an american. i played i thought this be about you. thought this might be about you. i an american reporter

i played an american reporter who interviewing who was interviewing prince philip, and he was making a similar complaint about how he wasn't be able to wasn't going to be able to afford his yachts and his castles. >> well, that's an interesting pig- >> well, that's an interesting pig. you go watch it. pig. thank you. you go watch it. so a look at the so let's have a look at the paper now, louis, 1 in people paper now, louis, 1 in 6 people on the nhs waiting list. >> well, this is a non news story. basically, it's the first. whole thing is first. one of the whole thing is non news. but according to the l, non news. but according to the i, owned by the which i, which is owned by the which is owned by the daily mail, did you okay, 1 in you know that? okay, 1 in 6 people stuck on nhs people will be stuck on nhs waiting if doctors strike waiting lists if doctors strike continues. war one it says no estimated 9 million. i personally see. and as you can see how healthy and beautiful i am. i just think i just i love the nhs. it's amazing. you don't have to worry about getting sick. i think. i think today's medical society, the industrial pharmaceutical complex in america and in here in germany, everywhere is unnecessary and is not good value for the dollar. and you should try to stay out of the out of the hospitals. and even if you've got bad disease , even if you've got bad disease, i'm sorry, i'm not going to say

it. if you've got a bad disease. >> that just seemed like a collection of random sentences to but what do think, nick? >> but what do you think, nick? >> but what do you think, nick? >> look , the people are >> well, look, the people are losing even doctors will lose popularity if they keep the strike because is it's strike going because it is it's damaging well. >> e'- e the thing. >> that's the thing. >> that's the thing. >> so it's not even just about loving the nhs or not loving it though i always have a slight worry talking about doctors in this telly that one of this way on telly that one of them you go them will see me and then you go in for treatment and like you're that on the tv that guy attacking me on the tv and they they don't check and then they they don't check your property or they misdiagnosis. there's always in the my mind, you've got the back of my mind, you've got to train drivers to be careful. the train drivers are more like, bang, a pop are more like, bang, have a pop at they won't recognise you. >> they won't recognise you. >> they won't recognise you. >> well, mind you, i do get the train more than go to the doctor. >> so. well maybe i've got it wrong on the train. >> so. well maybe i've got it wroig on the train. >> so. well maybe i've got it wroi had the train. >> so. well maybe i've got it wroi had an; train. >> so. well maybe i've got it wroi had an appointment, >> i had an appointment, a regular thing. i have every couple of years just keep couple of years just to keep something couple of years just to keep somethi a] couple of years just to keep somethi a hospital about half an went to a hospital about half an hour away. an early morning appointment. until i got appointment. and not until i got there find had there did i find that it had been cancelled due to the strikes. attempt strikes. there'd been no attempt to anything to contact me or anything on that. think that's the

that. no, and i think that's the first encountered an first time i've encountered an actual, you know, the edge actual, you know, the hard edge of myself. and it was of it myself. and it was extraordinarily annoying. well, he soft edge of he is the soft edge of it. >> listen louis >> you should listen to louis schaefer. going schaefer. you should stop going to you should eat to the doctor. you should eat meat. just stop to to the doctor. you should eat methospital. st stop to the hospital. >> mean, you say that >> i mean, you say that sunscreen is a myth and i actually got cancer from actually got skin cancer from not sunshine not wearing enough sunshine because question your misinformation. >> you not have >> no, no, you do not not have gotten it from me. >> time for this. >> we have no time for this. >> we have no time for this. >> just have time now for the >> we just have time now for the final section of the mirror, nick, which is about prince andrew's julius epstein interview. lies interview. andrew's epstein lies on a big one because >> so this is a big one because it's court evidence it's bombshell court evidence that andrew's that contradicts prince andrew's previous that that contradicts prince andrew's pre only; that that contradicts prince andrew's pre only; jeffrey that that contradicts prince andrew's preonly; jeffrey epstein that that contradicts prince andrew's preonly; jeffrey epstein once he only saw jeffrey epstein once after 2008 but after his 2008 jailing. but actually did see again, actually he did see him again, according 14th of actually he did see him again, accorthat 14th of actually he did see him again, accorthat year, 14th of actually he did see him again, accorthat year, where 14th of actually he did see him again, accorthat year, where epstein of june that year, where epstein told the banker, andrew just sat next at dinner, which next to me at dinner, which seems an email purely seems like an email purely written as kompromat on someone, just say , guys, if i ever end just to say, guys, if i ever end up jail, i've got all these emails. >> you know what i mean? surely that's the only reason you send such email. such a banal email. >> understand he was, >> now we all understand he was, i eric i think what was it eric weinstein phrase, it weinstein was phrase, wasn't it 7 weinstein was phrase, wasn't it ? construct, right? he ? he was a construct, right? he was a he was a fiction. epstein

since we fled and had to abandon it, they've actually over since we fled and had to abandon it, titheye actually over since we fled and had to abandon it, titheye actlbrought over since we fled and had to abandon it, titheye actlbrought certain and they have brought a certain amount amount amount of law, a certain amount of they've cracked of security, and they've cracked down trade, which down on the drugs trade, which was acknowledged in all the broadsheets recently when they called they called called the massively they called the it was the best counter narcotics ever from the narcotics program ever from the taliban. so we have to acknowledge taliban. so we have to ack they've e taliban. so we have to ackthey've made an actual war >> they've made an actual war on drugs and won and drugs and they've won and they've won. >> but where he's getting >> yes, but where he's getting hammered, the hammered, of course, was the opfics hammered, of course, was the optics of video. optics of the video. >> and seeming to sound like >> and for seeming to sound like he taliban he was praising the taliban and being idiot for being a, quote, useful idiot for them. what he's them. but really what he's saying he's saying, saying is this. he's saying, let's lost this let's acknowledge we lost this thing. we've left. they've actually done job the actually done a good job of the bafics actually done a good job of the basics. have to work with basics. now we have to work with them for them incrementally on rights for people women's and on people and women's rights and on to economy crashing. to stop the economy crashing. whereas saying, whereas everyone just saying, how they hate how can you say that they hate women? of course, no one has any rights afghanistan. >> so that's what don't >> so that's what we don't talk about. we're annoyed in the west that have like a that they don't have like a trans league trans darts league yet. >> fact is they've >> but the fact is they've started off with basics. started off with the basics. >> afghanistan on >> ten years in afghanistan on trying trying to do that. >> and so people have saw that they've done it better than we could. it's not that could. it's not it's not that they're it's not that they're good. it's not that they're good. it's not that they're arguing

they're good. it's not that the ane arguing they're good. it's not that the an incremental arguing they're good. it's not that the an incremental approachig for an incremental approach where okay, you where some would say, okay, you can't taliban at can't work with the taliban at all, what you're saying. >> the truth is, i'm not going to that i'm going to say i'm to say that i'm going to say i'm going say you can't work with going to say you can't work with the taliban, is that we're going to going to sit there and we're going to change minds to sit there and we're going to chang�*women. minds to sit there and we're going to chang�*women. nothingminds to sit there and we're going to chang�*women. nothing we ds to sit there and we're going to chang�*women. nothing we lost we about women. nothing we lost we lost, you know, saying that it's better saying france better run is like saying france was better run in 1940 the was better run in 1940 after the germans well it was germans came in. well it was probably better run. am i allowed say maybe you allowed to say that? maybe you should vichy. the vichy should say vichy. the vichy government there government was more peace. there was more peace france? was more peace. peace in france? >> fighting the >> well, they were fighting the english, that english, the french at that point. you have to point. of course, you have to remember just saying, remember that. i'm just saying, we were as we were happy as pigs. >> a lot of >> we work with a lot of terrible regimes. i mean, trudeau said he admired the bafic trudeau said he admired the basic dictatorship i'm basic dictatorship of china. i'm just it's just saying he's got a it's a sort hard nosed diplomatic sort of hard nosed diplomatic approach to work approach saying we have to work with them. all he's saying. >> difference w-n >> the key difference here i mean, understand comment, mean, i understand the comment, but that but the key difference is that germany invaded and germany had invaded france and we invaded afghanistan , we had invaded afghanistan, iran, left. so it's like iran, but we left. so it's like it's if germany left , but it's like if germany left, but france carried on having a regime you didn't like. that would similarity , not would be the similarity, not what you're talking about here. that extraordinarily

that is an extraordinarily important . afghanistan has important part. afghanistan has a culture and a very different culture and i am, you know, all joking aside, i'm not that comfortable with the they don't allow women i'm not that comfortable with th it's much better to, as you say, grab annually, build up an infrastructure that allows them to place at the to take their place at the table. otherwise you just drive massive migration. failed states harbouring terrorists. it all goes bad again. >> we can't. we are america or britain can't even do that here, which is raise up britain and manipulate britain through our government. so what makes us think going do it in think we're going to do it in afghanistan? we'll just give it up so often i feel we may have talked past each other there. >> telegraph now geoffrey, and

with modern international cons, the riots are coming before the quran even is burnt nowadays . quran even is burnt nowadays. >> yeah, this is this is a happy story. protesters and along the same lines really, to according the telegraph, protesters storm swedish embassy in baghdad ahead of quran burning in stockholm. and this guy burned a copy of the quran and the police let him and i'll tell you something, i'm in favour of free speech, but burning somebody, it's like shouting in a in a in a in shouting fire in a in a in a in a movie theatre, in a quran, in a movie theatre, in a quran, in a quran so he's set fire to it. and there's the thing. and number one, let's be honest with ourselves is these people are these people in iraq and across these people in iraq and across the middle east and all the muslim countries are way more excitable and fightable and they're more passionate than than we are. and you shouldn't mess with them unless you're prepared to fight with them. this was provoking them. but that's i mean, okay. >> i mean, putting aside, you know, possibly a politically incorrect way of describing

people's behaviour, the quran burning is in sweden and they've got wind of it and they're invading an embassy in iraq. it's not like they've gone to iraq and burnt the quran there , iraq and burnt the quran there, which i think what you described there, that would be if you were a swedish tourist and you were complaining that you burnt an iraq central centre of iraq in the central centre of that would be different. yeah then you would say, oh, come on, you some awareness of you know, have some awareness of what is . what the culture is. >> no, no, this is exactly the same other thing is that same as the other thing is that is that those people in iraq, why they have the why shouldn't they have the right to manipulate swedish government the same way we in britain are trying to manipulate late afghani culture and afghani government . go on. well, it's government. go on. well, it's a good point. >> yeah, if you like. it's a question of whether you think a culture is better when you can burn things like the quran or the bible or whatever, or or whether you think a culture is better because better where you can't because obviously in muslim countries you and they have you couldn't do it and they have saved countries and many positives. but in western

country we have we secular country we have we have secular liberalism. then, you know , i liberalism. then, you know, i would prefer is a christian country where we bring back christian blasphemy because christian blasphemy laws because i'm that english i'm not convinced that english liberalism is separable from christianity anyway. is christianity anyway. but this is the you be the question should you be allowed it? it's tasteless allowed to do it? it's tasteless as implied. the as you've implied. but the question is, which is a better culture? way can do such culture? one way you can do such things or or not, the swedish things or or or not, the swedish government, this government, i mean, this is interesting sense that government, i mean, this is interestplaying sense that government, i mean, this is interestplaying words. e that they're playing words. >> it's not a million miles away from natwest . from alison rose at natwest. they we absolutely condemn they said, we absolutely condemn burning we are burning the quran, but we are unable to do anything it unable to do anything about it legally unwilling to legally and we're unwilling to impose it. yeah, impose sanctions on it. yeah, well , that's kind of playing well, that's kind of playing with the word isn't it? with the word condemn, isn't it? condemn from a government should mean that we actually take action against it. i'm not saying they should take action. >> no. but yeah, they're the onesin >> no. but yeah, they're the ones in charge that decision. yeah. >> yeah. but i mean, there's something weird going on, isn't there? sweden , of all there? because sweden, of all there? because sweden, of all the in the world, has had the states in the world, has had a reputation for being the most understand tolerant so understand and tolerant and so on. clearly some on. there are clearly some people finding its people who are finding its tolerance islam beyond its

tolerance of islam beyond its broken. some of these people because to burn the quran, you're right, utterly you're right, it's utterly childish. it's lowering your be honest to their level, to some extent, which is, as you say , extent, which is, as you say, what you saying is that what you are saying is that they're and that's what. no, they're bad and that's what. no, no, i'm not saying they're bad. i'm bad you i'm saying he's bad as you did that. >> e- e saying the that. >> saying the you're >> you're saying the you're saying christian, whatever saying our christian, whatever that means. no, you didn't listen to us or understand at listen to us or understand it at all liberalism that all that our liberalism that comes of christianity comes out of christianity is better kind of thing. better than their kind of thing. >> that's not the point >> no, that's not the point i was at all. actually, was making at all. actually, i was making at all. actually, i was making a point. it's a bit too this format, too complicated for this format, but it was. not what but it was. it was not what i was i'm saying is was saying. all i'm saying is that i burning books, that i think burning books, burning it's childish burning flags, it's childish behaviour should and burning flags, it's childish beh'above should and burning flags, it's childish beh'above and;hould and burning flags, it's childish beh'above and demonstrate! rise above that and demonstrate that politics have that your politics have evolved beyond like quite it's like >> kind of like quite it's like a tantrum , isn't it? a toddler tantrum, isn't it? it's knocking it's like, you know, knocking all toys off the table all the toys off the table because you're not winning the game. it's a it's a it's a futile is like futile gesture. and it is like but again, you know, actually but again, you know, to actually throw somebody in jail for it, maybe they sell the maybe if they didn't sell the quran in sweden, maybe that would around it. would be a way around it. i don't know. >> i'm not saying that. >> i'm not saying that. >> the sun now, a story from
