thinks and never is. the king really receiving a huge pay rise in a cost of living crisis? and we're paying for it. marvellous. well, that's what the guardian's putting it that way. in any case. and. but does the king deserve it? what do you reckon? we'll have that and so we'll have that debate and so much so do get in touch. much more so do get in touch. send us your thoughts on gbviews@gbnews.com or tweet me at gb news. but first, we go to the weather with the lovely tatiana sanchez . tatiana sanchez. >> dawn, thank you very much and good afternoon. this is the latest from the newsroom. the levelling up secretary is warning against treating the environment as a religious crusade aid as he calls for a relaxation of some net zero measures in an interview with the telegraph, michael gove said that inflexible rules lead to an inevitable backlash . the inevitable backlash. the proposed expansion of the ultra low emission zone was widely blamed for labour failing to win

the seat of uxbridge and south ruislip chris skidmore, who chaired the tories net zero review, argues that climate policies consistently poll third among issues voters care about andignonng among issues voters care about and ignoring those concerns would be bad politics. john ashmore is the editor of capex, which is published by the conservative think tank the centre for policy studies. he says the race to net zero has already gone too far , having already gone too far, having arbitrary deadlines that are going to cost a lot for ordinary voters, especially at a time like now when so many people are struggling is a pretty bad idea. >> and i think that's something that people probably can get behind. i agree with him when he talks about it being kind of quasi religious thing. i mean, especially if you look at the more ends of the more extreme ends of the environmental movement, it really like a kind of, you really is like a kind of, you know, an end of the world doom cult. you people from cult. you look at people from just stop oil and stuff and their behaviour is literally like a religious one. >> the uk's banking sector is

set to reveal another round of strong profits , this as lenders strong profits, this as lenders reap the rewards of expense of borrowing costs. major banks beat expectations in their first quarter, helped by a rise in interest rates, which currently stand at 5. but some analysts predict an increase in arrears as borrowers struggle to keep up with high repayments . banks have with high repayments. banks have also been criticised by mps for failing to raise interest rates on savings accounts in line with the bank of england's base rate . now thousands of people have been fleeing homes and hotels in the greek island of rhodes after wildfires swept the area. emergency services are still battling to bring the fires under control . holiday battling to bring the fires under control. holiday firms jet2 and tui have cancelled flights departing for rhodes today, while greek authorities said it was among the biggest evacuation operations the country had conducted. gb news spoke to a british tourist who was evacuated overnight . was evacuated overnight. >> we noticed sort of the middle

of the last week , lots of smoke of the last week, lots of smoke coming over the mountains towards the sea where we were staying . the smoke sort of got staying. the smoke sort of got thicker and thicker through the week . week. >> the liberal democrats are calling on the government to launch a rescue plan as new data shows, i in 6 appointments over the past year involved waiting times of two weeks or more . the times of two weeks or more. the figures show the south—west is the worst affected region, with i in 5 suffering lengthy wait times . the i in 5 suffering lengthy wait times. the party is calling on health secretary steve barclay to find a way to fix the issue, including a campaign to urge retired gps back to the workforce. liberal democrat mp christine jardine says the government needs to do more to be able for people to get gp's when they need them to get ambulances , when they need them ambulances, when they need them for the pressure to be taken off. >> teaching staff now we have been talking about our policies for five years now. we've been

asking the government to make changes. we wanted to make serious changes with the windfall tax use that money to invest in our services. so when it comes to a general election , it comes to a general election, we will reveal our policies for the next five years in our manifesto, more shops could be converted into homes and extensions made easier as the government launches a review of building rules in proposed rules to be formally announced tomorrow . tomorrow. >> no new freedoms to enlarge existing homes will also be outlined. the government says the idea is to make it easier to build upwards and outwards, with new extensions and loft conversion zones. new measures will see shops , takeaways and will see shops, takeaways and betting shops turned into living spaces with michael gove arguing that britain must make better use of buildings. we already have. use of buildings. we already have . planning minister lee have. planning minister lee rowley says it's a positive move i >> -- >> the importance behind housebuilding is so that it gives people the ability to own their own homes, to get on the

housing ladder, to make sure that people can build capital, can get, can, can, can start a family. and that's hugely important . so we've family. and that's hugely important. so we've made some progress, but there's more to do, which is why my course is going to announce tomorrow some further , which hopefully further changes, which hopefully will but also will build more homes. but also vitally them in the right vitally build them in the right places and cinemas all over the world are pink with glee. >> following the release of barbie. among those joining in the fun is prime minister rishi sunak, who went to see the film with his family. the satire starring margot robbie as the world's most recognisable dull, scored the highest preview ticket sales of the year, even surpassing the most recent spider—man film . analysts say spider—man film. analysts say the film is on track to earn $150 million at the us box office. you're with gb news. we'll bring you more as it happens. now it's back to dawn .

happens. now it's back to dawn. thank you, tatiana, and welcome back to gb news on a sunday afternoon and hope you are having an absolutely lovely weekend. >> thank you so much forjoining me. this is the show that is all about your your views. so get in touch. let us know what you're thinking. vaiews@gbnews.com and we'll actually get through a load of exciting. i've got some great guests joining me today and we'll be talking about everything. as you heard earlier from ageism in parliament, 25, too young to be migrants too young to be an mp. migrants down in the isle of portland and obviously why every woman on earth and a few men is wearing this colour this weekend is very important. okay so. right. okay. we are going to get straight on with the show . we are going to with the show. we are going to go back and talk about the buying section. but we're going to we have our lovely reporter, catherine forster up in selby to tell us what is happening up there the moment. and if you

there at the moment. and if you remember they remember rightly, they overturned a 20,000 seat majority with a 25 year old mp called keir mather is the youngest mp in the house of commons and he was actually born . oh god, i hate saying this . oh my god, i hate saying this in 1989, the year after tony blair came to power, catherine so thank you so much for joining us this afternoon. so what's what's it like in selby at the moment? what's happening? what are feeling ? are people feeling? >> well, yes, it was a huge moment for labour in fact, it was the biggest conservative to labour swing in a by—election since the second world war. the conservatives had had a whopping 20,000 majority, 80 here, but no longer keir mather will come as the new mp labour for selby and ainsty , only 25 years old, as ainsty, only 25 years old, as you say, and i've been here all day talking to people have to say , and a lot of conservative say, and a lot of conservative voters previously that simply

did not vote or voted for the reform party or the yorkshire party as a protest vote because they were so fed up with the conservatives. the turnout was very low . only about 44% as very low. only about 44% as opposed to 72% in the general election. so they do think that about 23,000 conservative voters simply did not turn out. but a huge victory here for labour nonetheless . a different story nonetheless. a different story completely , of course, down in completely, of course, down in the south, in uxbridge, labour had expected to take boris johnson's old seat, but it was not to be. and the reason for that much as rishi sunak turned up at the rumbling tum cafe on friday morning in very jovial mood, it was not his is win. it was because of opposition to the labour mayor sadiq khan's expansion of the ultra low

emission zone to outer london, which means that from the end of august most people driving older diesel and petrol cars will either have to pay £12.50 every day to drive in these areas or get rid of those cars and replace them with something new thatis replace them with something new that is ulez compliant. so i've spent a lot of time in uxbridge over the last few weeks and it was clear the real fear worry about this now. labour lost that seat. the conservatives sorry, they failed to win that seat. the conservatives clung on with a much reduced majority of under 500 votes. but they're now agonising labour rather than celebrating the win here. they've spent a lot of time and arguing amongst themselves and quite publicly now about the fact that ulez cost them what they expected to be. have a win in uxbridge and very public. and

sadiq khan, the mayor of london, is now apparently in listening mode. he has been asked to review to this expansion urgent plea. keir starmer said something's gone very, very wrong indeed . when there's wrong indeed. when there's a labour policy on conservative leave splits and real tensions now about certain green policies and question marks about whether they would win or lose them, votes in the general election. and the same applies to the conservative party who are also , though wrangling now about net zero pledges and certain dates for banning of new petrol or diesel vehicles , etcetera, and diesel vehicles, etcetera, and wondering what is the way to win voters round. >> catherine. how damaging i mean, we know the tory party is divided into famously how how damaging for the labour party he is. this is quite spectacular difference of opinions between

sadiq khan and sir keir starmer i >> -- >> well, yes m hum >> well, yes it is, and it's very public and of course over the last year or so labour have managed to avoid any very public dissent. it's been the conservative party that have sort of been very openly at war and of course in the labour party conference last autumn and it was all about green policies . but now when they've come up against it and a green policy has cost them a seat, they expected to win. yes certainly there's going to be a lot of dispute. and i think now with a general election approaching , general election approaching, both parties are seriously wondering about some of these polls losses, although, of course, warnings today also that ditching some of these would be, according to people like lord goldsmith , politically suicidal. goldsmith, politically suicidal. that's great. >> thank you. that's catherine forster, our senior political

correspondent in a rather rainy selby, it looked this morning. thank you so much. now to give his thoughts on this subject further is labour mp shaun woodward , who is joining us this woodward, who is joining us this afternoon . now labour won the afternoon. now labour won the selby and ainsty by—election on thursday with a 23.7% swing against conservatives, a swing which is not far off the age of the constituency's new mp. that's a bit ageist, isn't it? keir mather is the new baby of the house and he looks it as well. at just 25 years old, which has led some people to ask whether there should be a minimum age requirement for new mps. so are they right or is age just a number? let's see what stephen's got to say about that . are you ready to join ? sorry, . are you ready to join? sorry, sean, are you ready to join us? sean, are you ready to join us? sean, is sean there ? sean, is sean there? >> good afternoon. >> good afternoon. >> good afternoon , sean. right. >> good afternoon, sean. right. wonder where you've gone then ? i wonder where you've gone then? i thought you might have wandered off. sean. so what do you make off. sean. so what do you make of what do you make of the by—election results? mean, the by—election results? i mean, the two talk two things we need to talk about, is that the selby

about, i think is that the selby by—election with the age of the mp is that important. and obviously fight over the obviously the fight over the green ulez that green policy and the ulez that is causing a split between certain members of the party, sidique khan and obviously sir keir starmer , look, the house of keir starmer, look, the house of commons is made up of hundreds of members of parliament. >> if we have somebody who's 25 years of age, i don't think we should get too worried about that. somebody that. maybe indeed, somebody who's of age will bring who's 25 years of age will bring some youthful perspectives to some youthful perspectives to some of things we're doing some of the things we're doing which actually which might actually help, whether labour whether you're a labour government or tory government government or a tory government actually about some actually think about how some policies affect young people. you know , boris johnson recently you know, boris johnson recently when he produced his resignation list, i think put into the house of lords and baroness owen, who is just 30 years of age, i think we should be careful of, as it were, picking on people because they bring youth and vitality. i think that's a good thing to do, although dare i say it, dawn, you know, you and are no you know, you and i are no longer, sadly, that age

longer, sadly, in that age group. and let's not there . group. and let's not there. >> so be an open to house all ages. the big issue here very clearly is we've had some by elections and i think if i'm brutally honest, as a former cabinet minister in a labour government and who once spent two years as a conservative mp, although most of my time as a labour one, look, there's a mixed picture in in these by—election results and it's mixed because very clearly for the government it's very troubling . they've lost them. troubling. they've lost them. they won uxbridge by 500 votes. that's obviously a good thing if you're rishi sunak that you held on, but you would be foolish to be complacent about that. it's very clear if we look at the majority that the candidate has enjoyed in selby, that's a very good result and we'd be churlish if we didn't say the labour party has done well and the liberal democrats have done well in somerton and frome. but if we look forward to what this might tell us about a forthcoming general i would have general election, i would have to say that for all parties it's

looking better for keir starmer and labour , but it's very and labour, but it's very clearly not a done deal and similarly, if you're rishi sunak , there are things to draw to be a bit more comfortable. you held to on uxbridge just you. we could get very excited about the ulez policy and the arguments inside the labour party about pursuing that in the way of sadiq khan is doing or not. but i think what this is telling us is that the government is very unpopular , ala and the unpopular, ala and the opposition , even if we define opposition, even if we define them as labour , taking out the them as labour, taking out the liberal democrats for a moment, is getting support, but it's not getting enough for it. looking like a tony blair victory of 1997. and if you're keir starmer and i know him quite well, i think he's not complacent. i think he's not complacent. i think what he's recognised raised is that there's one heck of a lot of work to do if you're going to earn the trust of the country and these by—election

results . if you're keir starmer, results. if you're keir starmer, tell you, you've got to think very hard about why they didn't get this one in uxbridge. they should have done and they didn't. that's great. >> sean, thank you so much for joining us. that's shaun woodward, a former labour mp there. both parties, it would appear, there. both parties, it would appear , have an awful lot of appear, have an awful lot of work to do, don't they? so let's see what my brilliant panel make of this. joining senior of this. joining me is senior political correspondent the political correspondent for the daily khalji. daily express, christian khalji. thank for joining daily express, christian khalji. thank forjoining us. and thank you for joining us. and former mp stephen pound , former labour mp stephen pound, thank you for joining former labour mp stephen pound, thank you forjoining me on a sunday afternoon. it's a bit of a soggy one, so i'm sure you're glad to here right now. glad to be here right now. politics there's a lot work politics there's a lot of work to here. first of all, to be done here. first of all, i want to i want to come to you, stephen, to talk about this division that we are seeing division that we are now seeing over the ulez policy, i think is the a small part of it. we wouldn't say tip of the iceberg. >> that's a little too i was going to say that i thought, no, that's probably not the tip of the melting, i suppose. >> absolutely. yeah it's melting

climate but how climate change etcetera. but how damaging is this for the labour party? >> well, i think it's damaging for at the present for all parties at the present time, be perfectly time, to be perfectly honest. >> just first of all >> can i just first of all apologise for not doing the sort of the ryan gosling i mean, you can margot rather can do margot robbie rather brilliantly, but can't. brilliantly, but i can't. >> margot, grandmother >> margot, robbie's grandmother , very much. >> margot, robbie's grandmother , i very much. >> margot, robbie's grandmother , i not.y much. >> i think not. >> i think not. >> sean actually quite kindly pointed i know, i know. pointed out. i know, i know. yeah, work for him in yeah, i used to work for him in northern ireland. >> he was much more polite then. but here but listen, the problem here is when think about the figures when you think about the figures like idea of phasing like 2030, the idea of phasing out petrol and diesel vehicles by 2030, sorry, is it 20? >> it's, it's 2030. at one point it was 2030 policies changed so much at the moment, but it's absolutely ridiculous. >> and i you know, i often think, you know, my people are more worried about past more worried about half past eight 2030. more worried about half past eigiand 2030. more worried about half past eigiand i 2030. more worried about half past eigiand i think). more worried about half past eigiand i think it's 2040 that or >> and i think it's 2040 that or 20 by 2050, they want to have no diesel or petrol cars. you know, that's unrealistic. look that's simply unrealistic. look the is i think the point about ulez is i think everybody accepts on the one hand, it's good idea not to hand, it's a good idea not to have choking fumes, you know, in the possibly be lethal. the air may possibly be lethal.

on somebody like on the other hand, somebody like my who's an electrician who my son, who's an electrician who spent van, which spent £40,000 on his van, which is not compliant, simply is not ulez compliant, simply isn't capable of doing it. so the way he will actually make that money back, guess what? he'll it on to his customers he'll put it on to his customers so he'll stoke inflation because he'll problem in in he'll stoke the problem in in the cost of living. but here's the cost of living. but here's the thing. on the one hand, the key thing. on the one hand, you've got not just just you've got people not just just stop and the narcissists stop oil and the narcissists like that going on the end like that going on about the end of world. we've got do of the world. we've got to do something now. other something right now. other people we've people are saying, look, we've got it a easy. we've got to take it a bit easy. we've got to take it a bit easy. we've got to take it a bit easy. we've got to work with the grain of the people. we can't impose this on people. and a real, on people. and that's a real, real and i think real conflict there. and i think this pretty all of this affects pretty much all of the parties possibly the greens. >> it is division, isn't it? >> it is the division, isn't it? i mean, let's come to you now, christian. i mean, labour already rowed back on flag already rowed back on their flag ship prosperity plan, already rowed back on their flag ship promised)erity plan, already rowed back on their flag ship promised)erpouran, which promised to pour 28 billion per year into climate friendly investments. they've u—turned there is a u—turned on that. so there is a big a schism the party, big a big schism in the party, isn't there? >> well, there's a i'm >> well, i think there's a i'm not if it's, if it's not sure if it's, if it's necessarily an environmental schism, more one of the schism, if it's more one of the

leadership seems to be allergic to having any sort of policies at the moment because they're so terrified being attacked or terrified of being attacked or pulled apart or being criticised by the tories. >> so sorry, i think we're having problems with your mic. christian sorry. so we're going to come back to you. >> can can i just say keir starmer came out with a very, very and very brilliant comment and i think will resonate think one that will resonate throughout and don't forget, throughout the and don't forget, the labour a the labour party had a conference in nottingham this weekend, policy weekend, the national policy forum beales was forum at which danny beales was our in uxbridge our candidate in uxbridge was was know, i felt was there. and, you know, i felt very sorry for think he'd very sorry for him. i think he'd probably want to go and lie down in room. but what keir in a dark room. but what keir starmer said, i don't starmer said, he said, i don't want to have labour policies that end up tory leaflets. that end up on tory leaflets. now be that we now that's it could be that we have good policies, we're have good policies, but we're not the message not actually getting the message across and i think across properly. and i think that's a real problem. and i think that labour party and think that the labour party and you're to you're absolutely right to highlight of the green highlight this idea of the green new deal, would have been new deal, which would have been transformative. it wouldn't have been we been a situation like when we closed the pits that all closed down the pits that all the miners were left unemployed. if away from if we actually move away from fossil extraction, we could

fossil fuel extraction, we could actually also create jobs. actually also create new jobs. we be building these wind we should be building these wind turbines. we should be doing them country. should them in this country. we should be green be embracing the green revolution. good for jobs, revolution. it's good for jobs, but no one is actually grasping that at moment. well, that nettle at the moment. well, i'm out loud as can. >> you are indeed right. okay, well, you're listening and watching a news sunday with watching a gb news sunday with me. neesom. loads me. dawn neesom. there is loads more coming up today on today's show. first, take show. but first, let's take a quick look what that weather quick look at what that weather global warming is with global warming sea is doing with marco, particularly in old traffo rd. >> trafford. >> warm feeling inside from >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers, sponsors of boxt boilers, proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. weather on. gb news. >> hello and welcome to your latest weather update from the met office. i'm marco petagna. we hold on to unsettled weather across the uk during the week ahead. there'll be some at ahead. there'll be some rain at times areas and times in all areas and temperatures pretty temperatures staying pretty disappointing the time of disappointing for the time of year got a fairly year too. we've got a fairly deep area of pressure in deep area of low pressure in charge the weather just at charge of the weather just at the to the moment. gradually starts to pull towards the east over pull away towards the east over the 24 or so. but the next 24 hours or so. but a slow moving band of rain will affect the central slice of the uk we head through the uk as we head through the evening the overnight

behaviour. and can you give me examples of bad examples of what sort of bad behaviour we're talking about here? >> well, i think there's extreme of behaviour, you know, of bad behaviour, you know, complete physical complete disruption, physical violence, that kind of thing. but there's low but i think there's also low level disruption as well in the class, can be very damaging. >> what of like low level? >> yeah, just a little bit of talking here and you talking here and there, you know, playing you know, know, playing up. and you know, if you've got a class of 30, 35 that can be quite disruptive. >> and do you think the situation getting worse? situation is getting worse? i mean, you said it's mean, i know you said that it's been going for a long time been going on for a long time now, i i remember i now, but i mean, i remember i mean, obviously, come back to the i know the dark ages and i know everybody a certain age says everybody of a certain age says this, was a child, this, but when i was a child, there was zero tolerance of bad behaviour in class. so do you think it is getting worse? >> think there's got be >> i think there's got to be zero and i think zero tolerance and i think schools lead by schools have got to lead by example. need very firm example. they need very firm policies and procedures. i mean, i don't agree with the findings of tank. think it's of the think tank. i think it's quite controversial indeed. but i as i think, you know, as long as the teachers their stall the teachers set out their stall and say this is my ship and this is how it's going to be run, and you abide by those rules,

you will abide by those rules, then we be getting it right. >> can you have you ever personally experienced very bad behaviour? >> when i first started teaching, this was 30 years teaching, this was like 30 years ago. i in a very ago. i worked in a very demanding school up in demanding state school up in in hertfordshire, and did hertfordshire, and i did experience extreme behaviour hertfordshire, and i did experandz extreme behaviour hertfordshire, and i did experandz ewas�*ne behaviour hertfordshire, and i did experandz ewas probablyiour hertfordshire, and i did experandz was probably one of there and it was probably one of there and it was probably one of the actually did the reasons why i actually did leave three years later. oh really? oh really? what happened? oh just, you i mean, i don't want you know, i mean, i don't want to go into the details because obviously it's quite confidential, know, confidential, but you know, there things children there are things where children just want to be there. there are things where children just will want to be there. there are things where children just will go nt to be there. there are things where children just will go out) be there. there are things where children just will go out to e there. there are things where children just will go out to disrupt and, they will go out to disrupt and, you give teachers you know, to give teachers a hard time. so, you know, i did go a state grammar school go to a state grammar school afterwards, you know, for seven years. know, children afterwards, you know, for seven yea going know, children afterwards, you know, for seven yea going to know, children afterwards, you know, for seven yea going to be know, children afterwards, you know, for seven yea going to be know, behaved. are going to be badly behaved. that's growing that's they're growing up. they're going to test the boundaries. >> how much responsibility do you think should take >> how much responsibility do y0lthis1k should take >> how much responsibility do y0lthis1k well? should take >> how much responsibility do y0lthis1k well? well,1ld take >> how much responsibility do y0lthis1k well? well, it take >> how much responsibility do y0lthis1k well? well, i think for this as well? well, i think you parents, you it you know, parents, you know, it starts because schools starts at home because schools have for six and have children for six and a half, seven hours a day. >> then they're with their for parents a day. i parents 18 hours a day. but i was stephen was just talking to stephen there way to him, and he there in the way to him, and he was saying, you know, that a lot there in the way to him, and he watheiying, you know, that a lot there in the way to him, and he wathe schools,| know, that a lot there in the way to him, and he wathe schools, yomw, that a lot there in the way to him, and he wathe schools, you know,t a lot of the schools, you know, there's children who don't have parents and that's and parents and that's tragic. and

they and they they are moved around and they don't models and they don't have role models and they don't have role models and they don't that grounding don't have that grounding at home. where home. and i think that's where maybe the government focus should help these children. >> yeah, so educating the parents as well as educating the children. >> yeah, i think parents can test more ever. now test schools more than ever. now we seeing that now. and we are seeing that now. and in fact, recently rewritten fact, we've recently rewritten all contracts, our all our behaviour contracts, our code of conduct, our financial contract. don't contract. and if parents don't behave, then we will. >> that's interesting because these ten these these there's ten recommendations coming from the think set up by think tank which were set up by former adviser. former david cameron adviser. it's republic and it's called republic, and it's published after published this report after looking schools, looking at 150 state schools, i believe they were . so it's believe they were. so it's recommending school rewards behaviour , good behaviour with behaviour, good behaviour with stickers and certificate and even financial rewards. what do you make of that? well, i'm paid to be good. >> number one. there's nothing new in there . you know, i don't new in there. you know, i don't believe in financial rewards. that's rubbish. you that's absolute rubbish. you know, there's mutual respect and that's be in that's how we should be in schools you know, some schools as well. you know, some of things of these these things like praising giving rewards. praising and giving rewards. well, that's going on already. you i think you had you know, i think if you had a group of head teachers in a room, probably have room, they could probably have written that in ten minutes. so

that's isn't it? that's a bit, isn't it? >> well, mean, i mean, >> well, i mean, no, but i mean, it's honest and you're at the forefront you forefront of this. you understand going and understand what's going on. and the scannable identity to the scannable identity cards to hold pupils to account for behaviour their schools. hold pupils to account for beh'parents their schools. hold pupils to account for beh'parents teachers:hools. hold pupils to account for beh'parents teachers then;. the parents and teachers then can and update. can access and update. >> read that , i just >> when i read that, i just thought, is this what we're coming if this is coming to? because if this is a recommendation , then lost recommendation, then we've lost before started before we've even started because you know, children go out, fake ids to out, they can get fake ids to buy alcohol. so that's true . buy alcohol. so that's true. >> absolutely. they're >> absolutely. yeah. they're having id? yes. yeah. and having an id? yes. yeah. and this this was the one, as a football fan that interested me. pre—disciplinary signalling in the form of yellow and red cards for behaviour . what's for negative behaviour. what's that about? >> well, that one made me laugh because last week it was the headteacher and headteacher should go and actually up children actually pick up children from school they attend school when they don't attend school. to school. and now we've got to walk in a school of walk round. maybe in a school of a thousand people with cards handing out. that's handing them out. well, that's just it's, you know, it's ridiculous, you know, we are we are there to the behaviour are there to shape the behaviour of futures. are there to shape the behaviour of so, futures. are there to shape the behaviour of so, futthese >> so, i mean, these recommendations, say , a recommendations, as you say, a lot of them either not new lot of them are either not new or work in practise. or just won't work in practise. so what what do you think we can

do more to help badly behaved children ? children? >> i think we've just got to set our stall out. it is about expectations that you know, we're here to learn. this is what life looks like. this is what life looks like. this is what to do to be able to what we need to do to be able to get and work together get on in life and work together respectively well. but, you respectively as well. but, you know, even the report itself, 150 comprehensive, 150 schools, comprehensive, give no , no faith no selective schools, no faith schools, no independent schools where you find probably in those sectors as the expectations are clearly set out. >> and christine , there's one >> and christine, there's one question i just have to ask you. we're running out of time. unfortunately, good unfortunately, it's a very good it's really it's something that really everyone's got opinion back in the day, if i was naughty at school, i'd go home and get a clip round the ear, not advising that, by the way, i'd get that, by the way, but i'd get a clip round the air. now now parents want to to the school parents want to go to the school and the teachers clip and get the teachers a clip round having a go at round the ear for having a go at little johnny or joanna. yeah, absolutely. >> that quite incredible. >> i find that quite incredible. you on, parents, you know, come on, parents, schools, let's pull schools, pupils. let's pull it together. don't together. because if we don't get right, what's the get education right, what's the future going to look like? get education right, what's the futlyeah,ing to look like? get education right, what's the futlyeah, indeed.>ok like? get education right, what's the

tv radio and online gb news. britain's news. channel >> welcome back to gb news sunday with me dawn neesom on tv, online and on digital radio. now hope you had a chance to maybe pour yourself a stiff dnnk maybe pour yourself a stiff drink during that break because the government plans to boost pubuc the government plans to boost public funding monarchy public funding of the monarchy by 45% from 2025 in a cost of living crisis , the details of living crisis, the details of the increase were revealed in a review of royal funding published by the treasury on thursday . it states that the thursday. it states that the royal family's grant is due to increase from . 86 million to increase from. 86 million to £125 million, a big figures indeed, i think you'll agree . indeed, i think you'll agree. meanwhile, we're heating and eating , struggling. in any case. eating, struggling. in any case. joining me now is royal commentator michael cole to explain what exactly is going on here. good afternoon , michael. here. good afternoon, michael. thank you so much for joining here. good afternoon, michael. thank you so much forjoining us this afternoon. michael, what's going on? does the king deserve this? actually a pay rise ? >> 7- >> good ? >> good afternoon, 7 >> good afternoon, dawn . well, >> good afternoon, dawn. well, the money isn't going into the king's back pocket. most of this

money, this increase goes in salaries of people who work very hard to support the constitutional monarchy and the refurbished of royal buildings. now there's a huge wholesale oil refurbishment of buckingham palace going on. buckingham palace going on. buckingham palace is a very strange building . dawn, you can walk building. dawn, you can walk down a beautiful corridor with masterpiece paintings on the walls and gilt and chandeliers, and you turn through a door and you're on civil service linoleum. there are dusty old central heating pipes and the electric wires are hanging off the wall. so this place hasn't been renovated since the days of the king's great great grandfather, edward the seventh. and it's going to cost a lot of money. now, the boost will go, as you say, up to £125 million. but it will revert after 2027, after two years to a more reasonable sum. but, you know, royal finances, it's a political football that's kicked around

all the time. the fact is that if you have a head of state, you have to pay for it. there are 193 members and all of them , i 193 members and all of them, i think without exception, has a head of state. and if you have a head of state. and if you have a head of state. and if you have a head of state, you have to maintain that head of state in a suitably dignified way . now, maintain that head of state in a suitably dignified way. now, in america, the american presidency cost the american . taxpayer $1.4 cost the american. taxpayer $1.4 billion a year. and on top of that, they pay the salary of the president, which is $400,000 a yeah president, which is $400,000 a year. well the king doesn't get paid. i'm not an apologist for the king or for the royal finances. i'm just saying this is the reality of the modern world. it's a big jump , but it's world. it's a big jump, but it's necessary. mainly to make buckingham palace look better. >> thank you very much, michael cole. explain the exactly why king charles is worth this pay rise . now let's see what my rise. now let's see what my panel make of this senior

political corresponde at daily express, christian kelsey and former labour mp stephen pound. christian, we're going to come to you first. i mean, it doesn't play to you first. i mean, it doesn't play out well with the public, does it? this huge amount of money? i think it's unfortunate timing and especially after the coronation. >> but i think the increase, you know, if we take it as necessary for buckingham palace, it's not to do with king charles. >> and if queen elizabeth had still been alive, the increase would have happened anyway. >> you know , i work in the >> you know, i work in the palace of westminster . palace of westminster. >> that a lot of >> i'm very aware that a lot of the greatest heritage of these islands is not in a good shape . islands is not in a good shape. and we have to invest whether we had a monarchy or not, we'd want to look after it and repair and restore these palaces. so the spending is necessary. it's also worth remembering that a lot of the a lot of the royal family's income is proportional to the amount of money that the crown estate makes. so it goes up if the royal family are actually putting more into the public

coffers. so i think that's an important argument to make as well. >> it's quite a complicated formula how this is work, you know, spend the know, i mean, we could spend the next exactly how next hour explaining exactly how it developed one the it was developed when one of the previous bankrupt . previous kings went bankrupt. >> handed over all the >> so they handed over all the profits estate to to profits from the estate to to the parliament, and they then get percentage of that back. get a percentage of that back. so i think always important so i think it's always important to when we talk so i think it's always important to what when we talk so i think it's always important to what the when we talk so i think it's always important to what the royalen we talk so i think it's always important to what the royal familyalk about what the royal family receive, they're they're lands are more, more , much are putting more, more, much more than that into the treasury for public services. >> stephen surely has got to be worth every penny. i would slightly the slightly demur with the description lands. description there lands. >> i'm not entirely >> you know, i'm not entirely sure means. i prefer sure what that means. i prefer to them as our lands, to think of them as our lands, the people's but look , the people's hands. but look, this read across for the this isn't a read across for the president states. president of the united states. i of that money is i mean, a lot of that money is actually because actually security because i think there are about four of actually security because i thinkpresidents about four of actually security because i thinkpresidents have four of their presidents have been assassinated. only assassinated. i think we've only topped our kings. well, topped one of our kings. well, two, i suppose. one of our queens, queen scots. queens, mary, queen of scots. but awful problem but but look, the awful problem here got too here is that the has got far too many houses it's also far many houses and it's also far too the wider circle. too many in the wider circle. there are this marvellous expression, and favour expression, grace and favour

accommodation. i would love a grace and favour place and hampton or you know hampton court palace or you know , palaces dotted , one of these palaces dotted around the place. why is prince andrew still getting a rent free accommodation? wouldn't it be easier we just trimmed easier if we just trimmed a little the surplus away little bit of the surplus away from the royal family? a lot of the you would have the people you you would have heard but i bet of your heard of, but i bet 90% of your viewers even heard of viewers have never even heard of them. prince charles, god them. so prince charles, god love him. he wants and love him. he wants to go and live in yurt in somerset. live in a yurt in somerset. we all that. where he'd all know that. that's where he'd be he doesn't want be happier. but he doesn't want to buckingham palace. to live in buckingham palace. it's very, museum. it's a very, very good museum. it's a very, very good museum. it's picture it's got a lovely picture gallery. i've been there a couple amazing place. couple of times. amazing place. let's museum. let's couple of times. amazing place. let's charles museum. let's couple of times. amazing place. let's charles go museum. let's couple of times. amazing place. let's charles go and.eum. let's couple of times. amazing place. let's charles go and live. let's couple of times. amazing place. let's charles go and live inet's prince charles go and live in his he wants to turn it his hut if he wants to turn it into museum, make a load into a giant museum, make a load of put it back into the of money, put it back into the economy, everyone will be happy. of money, put it back into the economy, say, yone will be happy. of money, put it back into the economy, say, ione will be happy. of money, put it back into the economy, say, i wish/ill be happy. of money, put it back into the economy, say, i wish i'd be happy. of money, put it back into the economy, say, i wish i'd saidappy. i have to say, i wish i'd said that myself. >> there you go. thank you >> well, there you go. thank you very now, according very much. right now, according to boris to annual accounts, boris johnson and liz truss each receive close to £19,000 of money obsessed this afternoon as severance payments when they step down ministers. step down as prime ministers. both leaders resigned due to increasing pressure from their own mps. that's one way of

putting it, they were still putting it, but they were still entitled the payout. boris entitled to the payout. boris johnson served a prime johnson served as a prime minister for over three minister for little over three years while is truss was in office for just 44 days now, joining me now is data editor at the spectator , michael symons, the spectator, michael symons, to explain what's going on and why are they entitled to this money? what's happening ? good money? what's happening? good afternoon . thank you so much for afternoon. thank you so much for joining us. right okay. so it seems like an awful lot of money in liz truss was there for, what, 44 days? >> yeah , exactly. >> yeah, exactly. >> yeah, exactly. >> so i think the reason why these severance payments, which are not a new thing, have kind of caused so much uproar is that we've seen liz truss, kwasi kwarteng and some of the special advisers in receiving these payments after like such little time in the job. and that's because the rules that govern them seem to be, you know, they're just they're just pretty strict is the payment strict that this is the payment you doing these you get for doing these jobs. and an argument behind you get for doing these jobs. andpaymentsl argument behind you get for doing these jobs. andpayments ,argument behind you get for doing these jobs. andpayments , i'gument behind you get for doing these jobs. andpayments , i think nt behind the payments, i think specifically more for the

special advisers who are on on lower salaries that you've lost your job. lower salaries that you've lost yourjob. it's like you've your job. it's like you've effectively been made redundant . so you should get some kind of payout. but i think, you know, that's just kind of hard to justify when lightly . truss you justify when lightly. truss you were just in the job for 45 days. >> yeah, that works out at £381 for each day. she was in office and kwasi kwarteng , the former and kwasi kwarteng, the former chancellor, was sacked by liz truss. he cost us £16,800 and that's £440 for each day. he served . i mean, that's £440 for each day. he served. i mean, is it time i get what you're saying about the special advisers? obviously they're often younger and they lose their jobs as well. when ministers lose their jobs. but surely time to reassess surely it's time to reassess this situation. i mean, how much of this cost in general, this situation. i mean, how much of this cost in general , this is of this cost in general, this is 3 million in severance fees. the taxpayers paid out . taxpayers paid out. >> absolutely. it's just it's an astonishing amount of money. and i think, you know, you could argue that. and people who become members of parliament, people become members become members of parliament, peo government>me members become members of parliament, peo government are members become members of parliament, peo government are aware )ers become members of parliament, peo government are aware that the government are aware that

the government are aware that the politics work is that the way politics work is that you are you you can be reshuffle and you can lose your seat and that maybe we shouldn't, you know, have such big payments. there certainly to be an there certainly seems to be an argument if you're going argument that if you're going to keep , then should keep payments, then you should maybe pro—rata , maybe they should be pro—rata, depending you were depending on how long you were actually job that actually in the job for so that the payments so large. the payments aren't so large. but house of commons, but the house of commons, you know going the know, looks to be going the other was a report at other way. there was a report at the start year where they the start of the year where they suggested who lose the start of the year where they suggyseat who lose the start of the year where they suggyseat at who lose the start of the year where they suggyseat at elections, |o lose the start of the year where they suggyseat at elections, who ;e their seat at elections, who also get sort of parachute payments, actually be payments, should actually be getting service as getting a medal of service as well. looks like want well. so it looks like they want to way and increase to go the other way and increase what get as a payout, what you get as a payout, a medal of service. >> okay . right. well, it'll be >> okay. right. well, it'll be interesting to see what chris pincher, who was another one, he was he forced to resign was he was forced to resign after groping scandal. even after the groping scandal. even he was given payment of nearly he was given a payment of nearly £8,000. i mean, sort of £8,000. i mean, what sort of medal he's going to get ? medal he's going to get? >> i mean, this >> well, exactly. i mean, this if the system is as rigid as it is and everyone just seems to be to the payment, regardless is and everyone just seems to be to howthe payment, regardless is and everyone just seems to be to how they ayment, regardless is and everyone just seems to be to how they did ent, regardless is and everyone just seems to be to how they did the regardless is and everyone just seems to be to how they did the job ardless is and everyone just seems to be to how they did the job andzss is and everyone just seems to be to how they did the job and how of how they did the job and how long did the job, then, you long they did the job, then, you know, bit of

of ulez after admitting it cost labour victory in the uxbridge and south ruislip by—election. the conservatives unexpired repeatedly held on to boris johnson's former constituency by tapping into the anger over the mayor of london's plans to expand ulez to outer london from august the 29th. turning the by—election into a de facto referendum based on the controversial scheme . now to controversial scheme. now to find out more. let's speak to gb news political reporter catherine forster, who is in sohoin catherine forster, who is in soho in the rain in selby . soho in the rain in selby. right, catherine. so what is going on? this was basically this wasn't a byelection. this was a vote over ulez, wasn't it ? >> 7- >> yes, it 7— >> yes, it was. ? >> yes, it was. labour, of course, had a huge victory here in selby and they fully expected to win. boris johnson's former seat in uxbridge as well. the reason they didn't has put very squarely at the feet of sadiq khan, the london mayor, and his extension of the ultra low

emission zone to greater london, which is due to kick in at the beginning of august. now, i've spent quite a lot of time in uxbndge spent quite a lot of time in uxbridge over the last few weeks, and it's been very , very weeks, and it's been very, very clear, speaking to voters there, their absolute faith theory about this. now sadiq khan says nine out of ten cars in greater london are already compliant. but if your car is not compliant, then you face either £12, 50 a daily charge or getting rid of your vehicle for something that is compliant, which of course is very, very expensive . live in the middle of expensive. live in the middle of a cost of living crisis. so sir keir starmer, obviously very disappointed not to win this seat and a lot of questions and pressure now on sadiq khan, who is said to be in listening mode . he said that he will reflect on it. he's currently indicating that the scheme still will go ahead at the end of august,

though there is a legal challenge that's been brought by five conservative controlled london boroughs that's due to report at the end of july. london boroughs that's due to report at the end of july . but report at the end of july. but he's saying that he will look at minimising the economic impact and you know, the labour leader, sir keir starmer , stressing that sir keir starmer, stressing that you have to be able to take people with you. it's all very well having these green policies , but they've got to be, you know, with the support of the public, with a buy in of the pubuc public, with a buy in of the public and also they've not got to be prohibitively expensive . to be prohibitively expensive. so it will be interesting to see what happens next. and it's also to led a lot of soul searching within the conservative party as well . people on the right of the well. people on the right of the party, particularly like jacob rees—mogg, saying , you know, we rees—mogg, saying, you know, we need to push back some of these deadlines, specifically the 2030 deadune deadlines, specifically the 2030 deadline for the ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars.

but no real agreement even within the conservative party, because of course, lord goldsmith resigned only in the last month, saying that rishi sunak didn't really care about the green agenda . the chris the green agenda. the chris skidmore, the net zero tsar, saying this is absolutely not the right approach and pointing out that many, many people realise that climate change is a huge challenge. and he believes there are many votes in that. and of course it's raining here. it doesn't feel like the middle of summer, but across europe we've got these rain , record we've got these rain, record breaking temperatures and people fleeing roads in fear of their lives . lives. >> thank you very much, catherine. that's our catherine forster, our senior political correspondent in the rain in selby there. thank you very much for joining us. right now, i'm forjoining us. right now, i'm joined by senior political correspondent for the daily express, christian kelsey, and former labour mp stephen pound to discuss those by—election results further. and the whole

green issues, i think christian, you know the front page of the telegraph today, we've got michael gove , who is obviously michael gove, who is obviously the levelling up and housing secretary, saying net zero can't become crusade . isn't it become a crusade. isn't it already a crusade, though ? already a crusade, though? >> well, i think well, you know , this is partly the government's of course , government's fault. of course, because forced because theresa may forced through net by 2050. through the net zero by 2050. bill her final few days, bill in her final few days, really without any debate or talk how we could afford talk about how we could afford it. know, i think i think it. you know, i think i think he's he's broadly right it can't be ideological or religious. it has to be thought out . it has to has to be thought out. it has to be funded. and most of all, it has to be affordable for ordinary people. but i do urge parties against overreacting to by elections, because often it can make things worse. we had we have labour now, you know , have labour now, you know, potentially overcompensating if they believe in ulez, go out and defend it . you know, they may defend it. you know, they may win the next election. when turnout is higher in uxbridge . turnout is higher in uxbridge. boris, i think, messed up massively after the chesham

by—election by, you know , by—election by, you know, abolished by getting rid of the planning reforms he was going to try and do, which would have really improved the country by now. so i think you've always got have a bit of got to you know, have a bit of calm after calm reflection after a by—election. rush into by—election. don't rush into overcorrecting. that's my advice. >> it is incredibly divisive for both parties now. i mean, labour has done a massive u—turn on their £28 billion a year climate friendly investments . so they've friendly investments. so they've gone back on that. steve well, neither party seems to have a clear policy going forward. well i think rachel reeves did the sensible thing on that because we were committed to it and then we were committed to it and then we had the liz truss premiership when the economy got crashed and we spend the money. we hadn't got anymore. but >> we hadn't got anymore. but they absolutely they said one thing absolutely straight ulez straight about this ulez expansion. this is a conservative introduced expansion. this is a corboristive introduced expansion. this is a corborisjohnson introduced expansion. this is a corboris johnson as ntroduced expansion. this is a corboris johnson as the duced by boris johnson as the conservative mayor of london, and we're taking the wrong end of stick one. but of the stick for this one. but look, this a on look, this is a hold on a minute. >> johnson didn't plan to >> boris johnson didn't plan to extend >> boris johnson didn't plan to ext> yes, he did. >> yes, he did. >> to the whole of the m25 . >> to the whole of the m25. grant shapps was the one that was urging that more . was urging for that more. >> grant shapps

>> exactly. and grant shapps is the whose we should the one whose letter we should have through have actually pushing through every uxbridge. but every letterbox in uxbridge. but we didn't. but look, this is my second uxbridge i second uxbridge byelection. i spent time there. but spent a lot of time there. but don't sir michael don't forget, when sir michael shersby we shersby died in 1997, we had a by—election there, labour. we had of 179 and if had a majority of 179 and if we'd won that, we could have had 180 and we didn't win it just do that. we didn't. we. >> i think you needed it. yeah >> i think you needed it. yeah >> no. well, sorry. you can't have too many seats. but look, the point being, we didn't win it. it was always going to be a very, very tough nut to crack. but the thing is, this is i think you were right to actually talk wider talk about the wider ramifications, i say ramifications, if i may say so. this not about london. this is not just about london. this is not just about london. this about bristol, oxford, this is about bristol, oxford, cambridge, right across cambridge, right the way across the a huge the country. and there's a huge divide. fault divide. there's a huge fault emerging here. there are people who we who are saying, look, we can't afford there afford to do nothing. and there are saying we can't are other people saying we can't afford to crash on and force this. it's got be bottom up, this. it's got to be bottom up, not and that's what not top down. and that's what every do. and every party has got to do. and there's to be financial there's going to be financial implications. going to implications. this is going to cost to in cost somebody said to me in uxbndge cost somebody said to me in uxbridge a couple of weeks ago, he like to vote

he said, i'd like to vote laboun he said, i'd like to vote labour, cost labour, but it's going to cost me is that a good deal? me £10,000. is that a good deal? and said but and obviously i said yes, but then he hit me . then he hit me. >> right. okay. violence is not recommended by that question. i mean, you the problem mean, you know, the problem viewers have got viewers and listeners have got now is, i don't know what the policies actually are from either side on the green issue. and most people think i can't afford it. i can't afford to go and buy an electric car. i can't afford to install a heat pump. so very i mean , what are so it's very i mean, what are your saying about this ? your readers saying about this? >> oh, well, we're very , you >> oh, well, we're very, you know, big on on, on protecting the environment, especially sort of species and animals and things like that. but it's absolutely essential that people are not bankrupted by these policies because i think at the end of the day, yes , yes, cars end of the day, yes, yes, cars are responsive for what we breathe . but in terms of the breathe. but in terms of the overall heat of the global climate, it's not, you know, people driving their white van to work. it's you know, celebrities going around in private jets. it's big. it's big

corporations. and we need to make sure that the supply ocean to climate change is you know, borne on the broader shoulders and not put onto ordinary people who can't afford tens of thousands for teslas and heat pumps and i think i think that's really important. and at the moment, the british public are actually they're pretty pro doing something about climate change, but they're not willing to be bankrupted by it . and that to be bankrupted by it. and that is the problem. politicians can't fritter away that public support . support. >> hold your horses shoe. you're going to come back . but we have going to come back. but we have to move on now. brits are among thousands evacuated as wildfires . so there's a link here, isn't there? threatened homes and hotels island of rhodes ? hotels on the island of rhodes? extreme across greece has extreme heat across greece has triggered a number of fires with flames burning for past five flames burning for the past five days. it's one of several to break out in wider europe amidst a heatwave , which has a scorching heatwave, which has seen temperatures exceed the 40 degree centigrade mark. now

joining me now is political commentator and a great friend of the of the program, clare pierce, who has just returned home from rhodes last night. good afternoon clare. a lovely town you've got there. so tell me about your experience. what was it like out in rhodes ? was it like out in rhodes? >> i mean, it is an absolutely beautiful place. i think that has to be said. first and foremost. and we have spent a lovely ten days there, but we did notice from about thursday onwards the presence of these smoke clouds coming over the hills behind where we were staying in lindos, which is one of the affected areas , we didn't of the affected areas, we didn't think too much of it. of the affected areas, we didn't think too much of it . locals think too much of it. locals weren't particularly bothered. i think they weren't particularly scared. they've had these wildfires going on across the years, but what it was yesterday lunchtime where it seemed to be getting a lot worse, the smoke seemed to be moving . the wind seemed to be moving. the wind had picked up across the island . and that's when you started to thing i think they were really

in some trouble now. and local hotels started to decamp their residents and my hotel actually took in some people from um, about three kilometres away. they were evacuated , started they were evacuated, started literally turned up in just a swimsuit and a towel with their children looking quite concerned at what was going on. so it was evident then that there was going to be a problem. we were due to fly out last night anyway , so quite lucky for us that our transport turns up before road closures came into place. the roads going into lindos themselves were being blocked by police, but getting to the airport was a little more simple. but after that, the real chaos of rhodes airport then kicks in with airlines and tour operators not telling people what was going on and how long delays were going to be. >> did you at any point feel frightened for your own personal safety? clare no , i didn't. safety? clare no, i didn't. >> we were we were very , very

>> we were we were very, very lucky. we weren't affected directly . but i lucky. we weren't affected directly. but i did lucky. we weren't affected directly . but i did get lucky. we weren't affected directly. but i did get a lucky. we weren't affected directly . but i did get a text directly. but i did get a text message whilst we were on the runway waiting to leave the hotel. we were staying in was being evacuated. so i do feel really quite fortunate that just due to timing, that we were out of there safely . personally, the of there safely. personally, the hotel acted very, very well . the hotel acted very, very well. the airport, although it was chaos , airport, although it was chaos, we met some really, really interesting people. and you start to hear their stories. one german couple and their family , german couple and their family, their hotel was literally burning down and they only got out because they had access to a hire car. so they gathered up their family and their belongings and they left . but belongings and they left. but other people aren't so lucky. you've stories of three, you've heard stories of three, four, five kilometre walks in, 42 degree heat. so whilst we didn't feel we were in any dangen didn't feel we were in any danger, i'm quite glad that we got out when we did. and. >> and do you think the greek authorities are handling it in the right way? i've heard, as you've described, people having to walk down the road in 45 degrees heat, literally just

degrees of heat, literally just in swimwear because in their swimwear because they've evacuated last they've evacuated at the last minute and it's been described as armageddon and being a bit like hell on earth. it's been described as by some holidaymakers returned. i holidaymakers have returned. i mean, think greek mean, do you think the greek authorities handling it in authorities are handling it in the they , you the right way? are they, you know, evacuation plans know, putting evacuation plans into practise in the right into into practise in the right way ? way? >> i think they are. they've got a really tough job. they've got wildfires in more than one location, which were burning out of control . the sea planes that of control. the sea planes that we saw flying over our hotel to collect the water from the mediterrane and to go back north and douse the fires. we're working non—stop. so i think that they had a really difficult job. they were doing the best the locals on the island have also stepped up to the mark and have been delivering food and dnnk have been delivering food and drink towels and things like drink and towels and things like that to families who are in school, playgrounds or school halls or baseball grounds . and halls or baseball grounds. and they have really looked after , i they have really looked after, i think, where the problems become more more apparent is with the

tour operators . they're not the tour operators. they're not the ones who are getting the message across to the people that they've brought to the island as to what to expect. so i would hope that that will improve . i hope that that will improve. i hope that that will improve. i hope that that will improve. i hope that the uk embassy in athens will be a little bit more proactive in helping people get off the island, especially if they haven't got access to their documents that have been left in a hotel. but i think all in all, the greek authorities are doing very, very well considering what they're against. brilliant they're up against. brilliant >> thank very much >> clare, thank you very much for us and glad forjoining us and glad you're back sound . thank you back safe and sound. thank you so much. that is clare pearsall, political commentator and friend of the program. now you are watching and listening to gb news sunday with me. dawn neesom. lots more coming up on today's let's today's show. but first, let's take a at what the weather take a look at what the weather is in this country with marco. >> that warm feeling inside . >> that warm feeling inside. aside from boxt boilers is proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. sponsors of weather on. gb news. >> hello and welcome to your latest weather update from the

all the locals have been asking for since we found out not very long ago is some consultation, some information . some information. >> and i think what finished off was that beautiful film you've just shown us of the inside of the barge that was all done in secret too. >> on friday, we found out by sheer accident from a newspaper article from scotland that this was going to happen with a selected people to look selected group of people to look inside . inside. >> and so really, the people here have been treated really badly . badly. >> the social injustice that disparity when so many of us are looking that, how many people looking at that, how many people have said, oh, i wouldn't mind living on that, especially the people that are living really on the breadline. and we have food banks here. >> we just have we're struggling in many areas. >> many people are okay, as you know, but there are a lot of people that would love live people that would love to live on barge . on that barge. >> yeah, susan, one of the things i wanted to mention to you, i was very lucky you, i was i was very lucky enough to be down in your neck of woods last week walking of the woods last week walking on coastline. of the

on the coastline. and one of the things chatting to people things i was chatting to people around there, it's like they were know, weymouth around there, it's like they were portland know, weymouth around there, it's like they were portland khad weymouth around there, it's like they were portland khad four'mouth and portland once had four hospitals. there's just one hospitals. now there's just one eight gp surgeries are down to six, you know, waiting lists all over the country are bad, but, you area it's you know, in your area it's potentially going to be a catastrophe . we pushing catastrophe. we pushing residents further down those waiting lists . waiting lists. >> yeah, it is a disaster for really for everyone here, and especially if you want a national health appointment. at the moment, it could take you up to six weeks, certainly for a blood test. i know someone waiting for six weeks just for a simple test. all of that simple blood test. all of that is going on and people are feeling very , very frustrated, feeling very, very frustrated, very angry . very angry. >> i don't understand why this has happened whereby they seem to be cocking a snook at the local residents in these small areas . areas. >> i'm looking at some of the others in wales and wherever. why have chosen tiny areas why have they chosen tiny areas where they think people are just not to make fuss and of not going to make a fuss and of course, until we found the information , couldn't, could course, until we found the inforso tion , couldn't, could course, until we found the inforso very, couldn't, could course, until we found the inforso very cleverly.dn't, could course, until we found the inforso very cleverly done,:ould course, until we found the inforso very cleverly done, very we? so very cleverly done, very sneakily done. and the locals

are really now looking to reclaim their voice and we don't think it's too late . think it's too late. >> well, absolutely, susan. the one thing that's always levelled to everybody who complains about the migrant situation is that you are racist . but how do you you are racist. but how do you feel about that accusation . feel about that accusation. >> i don't know how many. i haven't heard that word until this last week . this last week. >> and everybody's saying, well, we're finding more and more. >> it's easy to close down legitimate debate with name calling so people go, oh, i mustn't say that, because they might think it's ridiculous, isn't it ? there is nothing isn't it? there is nothing racist this . this is racist about this. this is people looking for their civil rights, their human rights, both for those people on the barge and for the people living locally. i can see a wonderful project that could work. but nobody anybody. and the nobody asked anybody. and the local councils just rolled over . they've been waved a little carrot 2 million. don't carrot of 2 million. we don't know where that's going. there's no accountability far . but no accountability so far. but the our local council the fact that our local council meeting just week didn't

meeting just last week didn't even have on the even have the barge on the agenda and local people were sitting there waiting to have their and they were treated their say and they were treated in disgusting manner. in a really disgusting manner. and that frustrates me. there's a lot of money going around here, a lot of money that's suddenly been found from the government just isn't government and it just isn't right. there is no accountability , as you said, accountability, as you said, about the doctors . we don't even about the doctors. we don't even have a hospital anymore. if you want a dentist , have a hospital anymore. if you want a dentist, you have to find a way to get yourself off the island somewhere. so those people don't have people that don't have transport, costs to transport, everything costs to the and when the local people. and when they're people they're seeing these people now who be bused past who are going to be bused past them, , they might be them, remember, they might be bused past the people walking along little just along that little street just outside to port go off and outside the to port go off and have day out. well, have a nice day out. well, wouldn't everyone like a nice day going to day out? they're going to go to cricket and i don't know what else. oh, yes , they're having else. oh, yes, they're having football tickets for football matches that i know people matches that i know many people can afford to go to. can no longer afford to go to. >> marvellous. it really is cocking a snook at the local people. >> unnecessary , eerily a little >> unnecessary, eerily a little bit more sensitivity . be bit more sensitivity. be a little bit more pre—planning and

it really is the horse before the cart because we don't have the cart because we don't have the infrastructure to even now what they doing? what are they doing? >> you know, i'm not a good planner, but i can see it's not there. >> susan, there is a tiny bit of water outside the houses of parliament, isn't there? so maybe we put the barge maybe we should put the barge there and see how they like it. that susan exactly. that is dr. susan exactly. that's dr. susan phoenix. no, to the barge campaign. thank you so much for joining the barge campaign. thank you so much forjoining us this much for joining us this afternoon. right. still to come this afternoon, do you own a second home? well, fewer than 30% of brits that own second homes are located in europe. so what's changed? is it cheaper to buy elsewhere, find out after the news with tatiana . dorna. the news with tatiana. dorna. >> thank you very much and good afternoon. this is the latest from the gp newsroom for the levelling up. secretary is warning against the warning against treating the environment a religious environment as a religious crusade, as he calls for a relaxation of some net zero

to you. >> and welcome back to gb news sunday with me. dawn neesom on your tv, online and on digital radio. now, in the past, when the sun came out of its winter hibernation, it did happen occasionally. evidently and summer got into full swing . many summer got into full swing. many people would go to their second home in europe. however over, according to figures released last week, there has been a post—brexit fall in the number of brits with a second home on the continent. fewer than 30% of second homes owned by people in england are in europe, down from 40% in 2012. and according to a european estate agency, additional bureaucracy of brexit is to blame. it's to blame for everything, though, isn't it? right. for more on this, let's speak to paris based journalist at david chazan. david thank you so much forjoining us this so much for joining us this afternoon. soon. so can you explain a bit more about this story? what is going on where brits are not buying holiday homes in france anymore in a nutshell, that's exactly it. >> yeah , not that many brits are

>> yeah, not that many brits are selling up. >> brit or second home owners here in france , but there are here in france, but there are very few brits now coming onto the market. it. why? because because they now post—brexit it they can only spend 90 days out of every 120 180 in the eu. it's almost impossible for non—eu citizens to borrow money from banks here. and there's all kinds of additional bureaucracy, bureaucratic hurdles , as they bureaucratic hurdles, as they would have to leap if they want to get health insurance, which would be one of the conditions placed in their way by the french and other eu governments for allowing them to stay a little bit longer, either giving them a residence permit or a long stay visa. so all of these things are contributing to the fall and what what effect is it having on the. >> well, it's a very traditional houday >> well, it's a very traditional holiday home market for brits, wasn't it? what effect is it having on the market? the fact

that brits want such a big part of are no longer going there ? >> well 7- >> well , 7— >> well , all ? >> well , all the market's 7 >> well , all the market's not >> well, all the market's not that good at the moment anyway. inflation is very high in france as it is in the uk is quite difficult now to get home loans house prices are very high, but nevertheless the market is still continuing . do you mean among continuing. do you mean among new second home buyers in france last year, british people used to be the biggest buyers, but belgians coming onto the market outnumbered britons for the first time. last year. so britain is accounted for. 22% of new second home purchases last yean new second home purchases last year, compared with 23% for belgium's . so britons with belgium's. so britons with enough money to put down are still buying second homes in france . yes, but in the sort of france. yes, but in the sort of mid—range of the market and the

lower end of it, britain's have more or less disappeared . more or less disappeared. >> and is it all to do with brexit? are there any other factors at play here? >> i think another factor is that the pound is a lot weaker than it used to be. so most brits, most britons who are buying second homes in the eu in france, spain or italy have their income in the uk. so they're just finding that they've got less to money spend. i think that's another big factor. but the main factor, the estate agents say, is brexit. >> right. that's great. thank you very much for joining us. that's david chazan, who is a journalist in paris talking about why brits are just not buying homes anymore. buying second homes anymore. thank joining thank you for joining us on a sunday afternoon i'm sunday afternoon right. i'm joined political joined now by senior political correspondent for daily correspondent for the daily express, kelsey , and express, christian kelsey, and former labour mp stephen pound to talk about this issue . now, to talk about this issue. now, christian brexit is to blame for absolute lutely everything at the moment ,

absolute lutely everything at the moment, isn't it? i mean, what do you make of this story? >> well, the heart bleeds, doesn't it? i mean, as someone who's never i don't think i'm ever going afford home in ever going to afford a home in this you know, i'm this country. you know, i'm really people's really concerned about people's second . my the second homes in europe. my the thing about brexit i've always said it couldn't have come at said is it couldn't have come at a time . um, because it's a worse time. um, because it's almost impossible to disentangle what brexit caused , what covid what brexit caused, what covid caused , what liz truss caused , caused, what liz truss caused, what the general global inflation crisis is caused, what the bank of england has caused. you know, there have been so many what the war in ukraine has caused, there's been so many success, massive once in a lifetime time, economic, geopolitical crises that it's very difficult to pinpoint . you very difficult to pinpoint. you know, of course, brexit makes movement more difficult, if specific countries have rules around . you've got to be an eu around. you've got to be an eu member, citizen ian, then fine. you've got, you know, you know, but interest rates have gone up across, across the across the

world, especially in the west. you know, liz truss and the effect she had on the pound will have also had an effect. so really, i've got to say , purely really, i've got to say, purely based on my own speculation here, that that it seems like brexit is the lesser of the of the causes of these issues. but honestly, you know, give me a break. the sort of people being affected by this didn't vote brexit anyway. >> well, smallest violin. stephen, what do you make of this one? >> i have to say i blame the media. >> if it's not brexit, it's the media. >> why not? it's all these programs, you know, like a year in provence or pimp my chateau or whatever you know, or whatever they are. you know, you these dreadful . you get these dreadful. >> one. what channel >> it's that one. what channel are it's on freeview . but look , >> it's on freeview. but look, there used to be these dreadful cliches. remember every englishman living in france votes conservative and every englishman italy votes englishman living in italy votes labour every englishman in labour and every englishman in southern spain is, at some time in six months, held up in the last six months, held up a office. they used to be a post office. they used to be these dreadful all completely wrong, cliches. look , wrong, total cliches. but look, who is who said i'd much who is it who said i'd much rather in cumbria

rather go on holiday in cumbria than umbria ? and i wasn't than umbria? and i think wasn't me, not to be honest, no , it's me, not to be honest, no, it's a fair point on that one. and i think that when you've got as christian rightly says, and he also mentioned the crash of 2008, 2010, perfect storm of 2008, 2010, the perfect storm of it. and i think maybe this will actually revive the british housing market unless, of course, we then go to second homes this country and then homes in this country and then we all the. cornish we get into all the. cornish south problems. south wales problems. yeah, isn't i don't think anybody isn't it? i don't think anybody should have a second home until somebody everybody a first somebody everybody has a first home. as that. home. simple as that. >> true. that's great. >> that's true. that's great. thank very right. you thank you very much. right. you are watching listening . gb are watching and listening. gb news me. dawn neesom news sunday with me. dawn neesom . coming up on today's . lots more coming up on today's show. have to see the show. have you got to see the new barbie or oppenheimer in the cinema yet? you should. you could be missing both could be missing out as both films smashed box office films are smashed box office expectations but what film will come out on top? all of that after very

happened. have a look at what's actually happened . sure . >> wow . >> wow. >> wow. >> well done. that is one way to get banned from malaysia. yes. because malaysia have strict anti—lgbtq laws, which, you know, some people , if you commit know, some people, if you commit those kind of crimes, you can face 20 years in prison. they were at the good vibes festival. i do think there was a research error here because ross, matt healy, he's very big. he supports the lgbtq plus community. he's been very vocal in the past . community. he's been very vocal in the past. so he used this performance to kind of make a dig at the government and their laws against gay people by, of course, kissing his fellow man, full blown snog that just wasn't a peck on the cheek. i know you

know you know, some people know that. you know, some people are saying that's very disrespectful you disrespectful because you can still the lgbtq community. >> but to be in a country where you know, those are the laws, it's really playing with fire and the whole festival ended up getting cancelled . and i said getting cancelled. and i said this it's the people that had tickets for the festival and we're forward seeing we're looking forward to seeing the bands that of feel the bands that i sort of feel sorry for a bit here as well. and think there's bigger and i think there's a bigger message you know, message here because, you know, not fans are from not all of their fans are from the lgbt community. not all of their fans are from the lgiyou've munity. not all of their fans are from the lgiyou've just ity. fans who >> so you've just had fans who just to them perform just wanted to see them perform and performance got cut and their performance got cut short now been short. the festival has now been pulled , the whole thing. the pulled, the whole thing. so the government have banned 1975 from ever playing in malaysia again . ever playing in malaysia again. so there is taking a stand, but there has been a cost. it obviously it's gone global and it's trending everywhere . but it's trending everywhere. but you it's always that fact you know, it's always that fact where you're in someone else's country we people country. like if we have people over it's we would expect over here, it's we would expect them respect our laws and we them to respect our laws and we can be allies. but if you're in someone's country , just keep someone's country, just keep that in mind. very good point,

stephanie takyi thank you so much stephanie takyi thank you so mu lovely see you. showbiz >> lovely to see you. showbiz supremo and not wearing pink, thank god, because she looks so much better in every colour than i do right now. finally, when it rains, it pours as people in europe continue to cook under the scorching mediterranean sun, the scorching mediterranean sun, the met office has issued an urgent weather warning as the uk is set to receive a full month's worth rain in just 48 hours. worth of rain in just 48 hours. typical british summer, then, isn't better to isn't it? but who better to speak to then? senior meteorologist jim dale about what is going on with our weather? good afternoon, jim. thank you for joining weather? good afternoon, jim. thank you forjoining us on this thank you for joining us on this fairly soggy afternoon. jim, what's going on? why is it raining here and boiling everywhere else? yeah that's a that's a that's a good question. >> we're out of the we're out of sync with most of the rest of europe, to be honest with you. look what's happening. the dividing line is called the jetstream . the jetstream is jetstream. the jetstream is these winds that these upper air winds that control frontal systems, control low pressure areas . and we've low pressure areas. and we've got that. we've had it for the

best part of a month, which is why it's been extremely changeable. it goes nowhere fast. why does go nowhere fast. why does it go nowhere fast? because the big heat dome that's over north africa, in europe, southern europe and mediterranean, that in itself is kind of sitting there going, going nowhere fast, simply because the heat is subsiding down there. the land is heating up . and so it's up. and so it's self—perpetuating. it just stays as a as a blocking mechanism. so they stay in that we stay in this until there's a kink somewhere in those in that jet stream and we might get something better. i'm looking at i'm looking at a radar chart at the moment over old trafford. um, yeah . what a miserable test um, yeah. what a miserable test match that's been to, to end . match that's been to, to end. yeah. it's not going to happen today. yeah. it's not going to happen today . it's virtually at an end today. it's virtually at an end now. the odds are very low in terms of anything other than a draw now. so that's, that's the way it's going. >> when is the weather going to get better, jim? when are we going summer ? going to have summer? >> well , this is summer and

>> well, this is summer and sometimes we do get this kind of weather . i sometimes we do get this kind of weather. i noticed on sometimes we do get this kind of weather . i noticed on the data weather. i noticed on the data that we come in castlederg in western ireland, western northern ireland, they got the highest total in the last 24 hours of 77mm, which is best part of 3—3 inches. um, i think in terms of what we've got coming this week and perhaps for ten days forward, there is no change. it continues to be as you've had on the, the last few, few days and weeks. absolutely the same. so yes, in and out of it you get the odd day. that's quite nice. and to be honest with you, let's compare this. would rather be in roads now would you rather be in roads now at 37 degrees the moment, but at 37 degrees at the moment, but most of greece's around 40 to 44, while fires left, right and centre, particularly on roads as we know about or would you rather be say not particularly in cumbria or the north—west and northeast where it's pouring down. but let's just say we're in the london area or in scotland where it's temperate.

you know, sometimes we look down on ourselves and we think, well, actually we might be in the better weather, best weather that there is out there. >> jim. one final quick >> jim. just one final quick question. no answer. is question. yes or no answer. is this our fault? is the heat waves europe? is our fault ? >> 7- >> it's a 7 >> it's a topping ? >> it's a topping the 7 >> it's a topping the it's a yes, but it's a qualified yes. as in yes . you get hot as in yes. you get hot temperatures down there. but the topping is everything to do with manmade climate change. >> that's brilliant . jim dale, >> that's brilliant. jim dale, thank you very much for joining us, senior meteorologist there. not cheering us up with not really cheering us up with predictions for our british not really cheering us up with predictiorright? ur british not really cheering us up with predictiorright? well,tish not really cheering us up with predictiorright? well, that's it summer, right? well, that's it from me for today. but thank you very much for joining from me for today. but thank you very much forjoining me. it's been fun. really been huge fun. i really appreciate but don't go appreciate it. but don't go anywhere because the very gorgeous in pink and gorgeous nana also in pink and looking stunning it. why we looking stunning it. why have we done looking stunning it. why have we doreveryone's pink. looking stunning it. why have we doriveryone's pink. looking stunning it. why have we dori just)ne's pink. looking stunning it. why have we dori just think pink. looking stunning it. why have we dori just think we've;. looking stunning it. why have we dori just think we've been >> i just think we've been brainwashed by barbie for so long now. it's like i can't get out i can't get out out of pink. i can't get out pink. margot robbie's been doing for months. what you for six months. so what are you talking your i'm for six months. so what are you talk going your i'm for six months. so what are you talk going to your i'm for six months. so what are you talkgoing to talk your i'm for six months. so what are you talk going to talk about i'm for six months. so what are you talk going to talk about barbie. m not going to talk about barbie. >> know what jim dale >> i don't know what jim dale was about either, but was talking about either, but i was talking about either, but i
