9:05 pm
describes a white family as not representing real londoners. do cockneys not exist? it's flying a rip off. and can coffee cure crime? plus your emails, even the spicy ones , send them into the spicy ones, send them into gb views gb news.com. there's lots to come , but we start with lots to come, but we start with my big opinion. lots to come, but we start with my big opinion . on what my big opinion. on what a difference a week makes. last week , leftie commentators were week, leftie commentators were seeing the world is on fire. climate change is out of control and we all need to stop using fossil fuels. this week the same people are lambasting rishi sunak and prince william for not taking a private jet to australia . left wing activist australia. left wing activist jolyon rubenstein, who's been a massive fan of women's football ever since he found out he could use it to score political points, said england are in an actual world cup final. this weekend. it's an absolute joke that the prime minister whose private jet flights are legendary and male led legendary and the male led royals haven't seen fit to
9:06 pm
attend . sod them all. well who attend. sod them all. well who can blame them? last week , rishi can blame them? last week, rishi and prince william would be hauled over the coals for burning fossil fuels if they took that flight. except they can't be over coals can't be hauled over coals anymore. coal is banned now. they'd hauled over a they'd have to be hauled over a lukewarm, carbon neutral heat exchanger. former bbc journalist jon sopel said . really? i think jon sopel said. really? i think it's inconceivable that rishi sunak and prince william wouldn't be at the world cup final if it was the men's team playing. well, yeah, they probably would be at the men's world but that's world cup final, but that's because world because the men's world cup final much better final would be a much better game. newspaper insisted game. the newspaper insisted that flying a private jet to the world cup would only increase emissions by 0.1. only 0.1. well why don't we all have private jets then, if they're suddenly so environmentally friendly? of course, if you want to talk percentages, carbon dioxide makes up just 0.04% of the atmosphere of that . britain atmosphere of that. britain emits just 1. so we're destroying farms and businesses and sending people into poverty
9:07 pm
to marginally reduce 1% of 0.04% of a gas in the atmosphere . of a gas in the atmosphere. something just doesn't add up here. i was surprised to see left wingers get behind the women's world cup as far as far as i'm aware, none of the team has a penis, but it felt like the mask slipped on net zero like me. you might already be suspicious of all the doom doomsayers around climate change. apparently the planet is on fire. the seas are boiling and the of the world is nigh and the end of the world is nigh . although these doomsday cultists have been saying the world end for as world is about to end for as long as i can remember and the last time i looked of the last time i looked out of the window, was still window, the world was still there was raining. i've there and it was raining. i've always the always suspected that the climate change movement has been about us and about controlling us and shepherding away from shepherding resources away from working people towards working people and towards elites. we're not allowed to elites. so we're not allowed to take long flights or own take long haul flights or own cars eat meat have any cars or eat meat or have any luxury lives whatsoever . luxury in our lives whatsoever. we exist as drones to create wealth for an elite class who party while we eat the bugs we won't be allowed to fly ryanair
9:08 pm
to tenerife once a year, but for the right cause and the right people, private jets are no object. let us see it as fossil fuels have led to an incredible increase in living standards, life expectancy and wealth across the globe for the majority of people. i'm not a climate change denier. i think it's happening. but i don't think that the solution is communism. we don't need the state to control every tiny aspect of our lives and reduce our standard of living. in fact , history has shown that communism isn't the solution to anything except how to bring misery and starvation to millions and that's why i'm glad the left wing mass slip today and revealed that for them, climate is just . climate change is just. politics okay, i'm here. what do you think ? do you agree to disagree? think? do you agree to disagree? send your views into gb views at gb news.com and i'll get to your emails after the break. but
9:09 pm
reacting to my big opinion tonight and my brilliant panel of journalist and broadcaster linda double gb news, senior political commentator nigel nelson, and leadership coach speaker and social commentator and explorer adrian hayes. no what do you make of what do you make of the ferrari around rishi and prince william not taking private jets to australia? >> well, prince william should have gone. he had a major position in the faa in this country and he should have been on that rishi sunak. i on that plane. rishi sunak. i don't mind. he's got more don't really mind. he's got more to this to deal with running this country. does country. i don't care if he does stay here. but prince william should but don't should have gone. but i don't agree statement he made agree that the statement he made with daughter sitting next with his daughter sitting next to him was in any way patronising. i thought was patronising. i thought it was well and really well thought out and really touching. you didn't think it was was bit hack and was a bit it was a bit hack and tokenistic to have his daughter sitting there and delivering a scripted at scripted response. it's not at all the same thing in all exactly the same thing in his shoes. yeah. >> nigel i mean, do you feel that climate change is becoming the partisan political the sort of partisan political issue and really the left should
9:10 pm
be should be making sure that if it is so important, they shouldn't be alienating right wing ? wing people? >> no, but i mean, when it comes down we're talking down to this one, we're talking about rishi sunak, who takes helicopters everywhere . he went helicopters everywhere. he went to the other week , to wrexham the other week, burned a tonne c02 . and how burned a tonne of c02. and how do you take in the train ? he do you take in the train? he could have actually got there ten minutes later. so that's the kind of thing you're complaining about rishi sunak. kind of thing you're complaining abobut rishi sunak. kind of thing you're complaining abobut if rishi sunak. kind of thing you're complaining abo but if you;hi sunak. kind of thing you're complaining abo but if you takernak. kind of thing you're complaining abo but if you takernathe train >> but if you take in the train instead getting a helicopter, >> but if you take in the train inwould getting a helicopter, >> but if you take in the train inwould haveting a helicopter, >> but if you take in the train inwould have costa helicopter, >> but if you take in the train in would have cost three :opter, >> but if you take in the train in would have cost three times it would have cost three times as much. >> well, it depends on the train. obviously suspect train. obviously but i suspect it wouldn't have done it probably wouldn't have done on the basis it was a private helicopter, at least was paid by a taxpayer didn't a donor. the taxpayer didn't actually pick up the for actually pick up the tab for that. really? know, when that. oh really? you know, when the prince the when it comes to prince william agree with linda , he's william agree with linda, he's president of the faa . he should president of the faa. he should have gone. he should have taken princess charlotte him. and princess charlotte with him. and as far as the idea about he'd be burning lot of carbon to get burning a lot of carbon to get there , well, could on there, well, you could going on a flight and be. we a scheduled flight and be. we sent cleverly the foreign sent james cleverly the foreign secretary. he was scrambled at
9:11 pm
the last minute to be to go out there . once he got there no one there. once he got there no one recognised was in that in that line up today and even the girls were passing him by not even shaking his hand. no way. >> the way see it almost >> the way you see it almost sounds like nobody wanted to go and drawing the straw. >> the foreign secretary got >> and the foreign secretary got it. yeah, absolutely. yeah >> adrian, mean, you've done a >> adrian, i mean, you've done a huge travelling. huge amount of travelling. you must enviable kind of must have an enviable kind of carbon . carbon footprint. >> well, i love saying to people i'm an environmentalist, passionate, who flies a lot, and i'm proud of it because aviation, 2% of global emissions anyway. >> and as you said in your great monologue , carbon dioxide isn't monologue, carbon dioxide isn't the problem. >> and i'm going to get where t shirts soon. >> i love c02 , but it's c02 is >> i love c02, but it's c02 is easy because , as you easy for us because, as you said, us to control things. >> it allows governments to make great of net zero by great statements of net zero by 2030 the rest of it. but 2030 and all the rest of it. but it enables them to avoid or avoid some really dealing with the problems we got today. sewage in our waterways, you know, chemical pollution, plastic pollution, deforestation , all these things because the
9:12 pm
one simple thing is follow the money. there's money to be made out of net zero. there isn't out money. there's money to be made outhesezt zero. there isn't out money. there's money to be made outhese other». there isn't out money. there's money to be made outhese other things. isn't out of these other things. >> seen in other >> yeah. we've seen in other cases where later on we're going >> yeah. we've seen in other ca be where later on we're going >> yeah. we've seen in other ca be talking.ater on we're going >> yeah. we've seen in other ca be talking aboutn we're going >> yeah. we've seen in other ca be talking about science going to be talking about science being bought paid so being bought and paid for. so you can i mean, people have come out and criticised the concern versus this sort of manufactured consensus around climate science. i mean, i believe that climate real. climate change is real. i believe disagree with you even believe i disagree with you even i the c02 believe i disagree with you even i the co2 is having an i believe the co2 is having an impact on world temperatures, but don't believe it's all doom and gloom. and i don't believe that the best solution to that the best solution is to revert to some sort caveman revert to some sort of caveman type existence . type existence. >> can i give a quick view on prince though? prince william, though? but i was struck seeing queen letizia of letizia of spain there. and i thought and i think the reason he didn't do because he thought having pinned his flag to the climate change movement, i think he was worried about the criticism. that's the dangers of royal in royal family getting involved in what is it or not, what is like it or not, a political issue . political issue. >> yeah, so if he'd gone, we'd currently be discussing how hypocritical he was to burn all
9:13 pm
that carbon going there. and do you think i mean, there's all the talk of his daughter. what about he's got sons? why wouldn't he take them why not point? >> yeah. he wants to show a young girl because it's the women's world cup. there's nothing wrong with princess charlotte's next to him charlotte's sitting next to him and making that sort of unspoken statement. i think he was completely right. >> it more important that >> isn't it more important that is actually the first world cup final. we've been in in 57 years. and so when we keep sort of saying it seems a bit patronising to be saying, well, aren't they playing great football , you know, for girls football, you know, for girls when, when and i don't think anyone said they're playing great football for girls . great football for girls. >> i know i said it was quite bad but it's the it's the idea that everyone keeps going on about how inspirational it is to girls and to women , whereas girls and to women, whereas isn't it just inspirational because they played a great game of football , sadly lost. of football, sadly lost. >> it's inspirational to >> no, it's inspirational to girls . girls. >> $- @ this is what my wife >> i mean, this is what my wife says me says she just agrees with me too. just curious about the.
9:14 pm

they didn't win the tournament. i think it's huge fillip for i think it's a huge fillip for woman's football . woman's football. >> absolutely cool. >> absolutely cool. >> other sports as well. you >> and other sports as well. you mentioned women's rugby. >> again, standards have >> again, the standards have just the ten just soared over the last ten years. something . you years. it's quite something. you know, like to know, i wouldn't like to be playing. play i playing. i just play rugby. i wouldn't against wouldn't like be playing against some because some of these women because they are strong. some of these women because they are they're trong. some of these women because they are they're strong. >> they're strong. >> they're strong. >> seeing women in me >> and we're seeing women in me and tradition , male dominated and tradition, male dominated sports , boxing as well, seeing sports, boxing as well, seeing more of a female presence there. >> the individual sports, as nigel was saying, we've had that for many, many years . i've got for many, many years. i've got to get in the trans debate because the canadian weightlifter story, that's that's very topical right now. but but it's team sports but but it's the team sports that's really changing and traditional many male sports or women are now making their own as well. yeah >> and do you think because there's also the scandal around nike not providing some of the kit for the women's team, but they probably didn't see the women's team getting all the way to they would to the final. they would have they made kit if they would have made that kit if they would have made that kit if the made it to the the if they've made it to the final. yeah. >> yeah. the marketing director has just been fired. i think so.
9:17 pm
>> sure . i'm sure at this >> i'm sure. i'm sure at this time next week, you'll able time next week, you'll be able to football. to buy that football. >> you've got to >> i think what you've got to be able is you've to be able to see is you've got to be able to see is you've got to be able to see women footballers treated country in treated in this country in exactly way male exactly the same way as male footballers . and it's one of the footballers. and it's one of the comments that's sort of my point . not happening. . yeah, that's not happening. that's point. that's my point. >> okay. >> right. okay. >> right. okay. >> so the, the point is, one of the commentators today said the difference with the spanish team is spanish team. the women is the spanish team. the women and men are treated in and the men are treated in exactly the same way. and that has made a difference to their mindset when they play . and that mindset when they play. and that could been the crucial could have been the crucial difference . difference. >> don't think i mean, >> now, you don't think i mean, it's coined descending >> now, you don't think i mean, it'severybodyined descending >> now, you don't think i mean, it's everybody toad descending >> now, you don't think i mean, it's everybody to come cending >> now, you don't think i mean, it's everybody to come outiing >> now, you don't think i mean, it's everybody to come out and it for everybody to come out and it feels like it's almost a hate crime to not support women's football. now, you know, everybody's anybody makes a joke about it and slammed on social media. >> i don't notice that at all. really. no. no. >> many so many people >> so many so many people posting, mainly men saying, look at all these misogynist bigots. making jokes about washing up. would you not a joke about would you not make a joke about about women's football? would you not make a joke about about woif en's football? would you not make a joke about about woif you football? would you not make a joke about about woif you ifotball? would you not make a joke about about woif you if youill? would you not make a joke about
9:18 pm
about woif you if you used to do >> now, if you if you used to do it, would you shy away from those jokes now? no, i'd probably still do the joke because haven't written any because i haven't written any new jokes. >> so i'd probably have to. but yeah , i used to have a joke yeah, i used to have a joke comparing comedy to women's football. i said, it gets written about a lot in the guardian, but it's rubbish. anyway, coming up next in the big story, after the world cup final failure. what next for the lionesses i'll see you in
9:19 pm
9:20 pm
9:21 pm
radio. >> it's time now for the big story . >> it's time now for the big story. tonight, england are mourning more world cup heartbreak. england women's team lost 1—0 to spain in the world cup final . in sydney, olga cup final. in sydney, olga carmona scored the only goal in the first half. but england goalkeeper mary earps saved a penalty in the second. so what now for the lionesses despite defeat, the tournament has been a success. joining me now is top football agent sky andrew. hello, sky. how are you doing ?
9:22 pm
hello, sky. how are you doing? >> hello. good evening. hello guys. sorry about the result today. >> that's okay. i'm scottish. i can deal with it. do you think these these women will go on to become big stars? well i think so. 50. >> so. >> i think they've got a real chance. some of them are household names, but each of these players have got to make a decision. a choice whether or not they want to be big brands, household names, whether they want to leave a legacy . and it want to leave a legacy. and it all depends on who they have around them. judy murray always got the best people around. andy and in this situation, these girls have got to decide whether or not they want to be a big brand because a lot of work has to go off the pitch. football is demanding. it demands 24 over seven of your time. so so these girls , they need to hire the girls, they need to hire the best possible people to help them build their brands. and now this is all about legacy. now sky , it sounds as if you're
9:23 pm
sky, it sounds as if you're angung sky, it sounds as if you're angling for that job yourself . angling for that job yourself. >> are you suggesting you could come forward and be the agent ? come forward and be the agent? >> listen, i've been an agent 28 years and over the last 28 years, i've seen such a dramatic rise in the female game, in the women's game . a lot of people women's game. a lot of people say things like, why don't women earn the same as men ? well, it's earn the same as men? well, it's because in the world cup , world because in the world cup, world cup brings in $6 billion in the men's game and about 131,000,000in the women's game. wow we've all just we've all just got to keep pushing for the women because our women are doing better than our men. you know , it seems the european know, it seems the european champions, they've got silver medal in the world cup and now all it takes is for 1 medal in the world cup and now all it takes is for1 or medal in the world cup and now all it takes is for 1 or 2 of these girls to become big brands. remember the most amount of money the england team ever got in sponsorship was when beckham, owen and shearer played together right . together right. >> and who do you who do you think is the most likely player to become this big brand and break in terms of finances ?
9:24 pm
break out in terms of finances? >> 1 or 2 of them have got the opportunity to become hugely financially wealthy and grow global brands, and we can remember if football is that football isn't just about england , it's about global. so england, it's about global. so i think alessia russo has got a very good chance because she's a striker and she speaks well and if she wants to , she can build if she wants to, she can build that brand. i think lauren james has got a chance. you know , has got a chance. you know, there's 2 or 3 of them who who can transcend football, who who can transcend football, who who can become role models, leave a legacy, have sport centres named after them, and even have a statue somewhere in london. >> wow. and do you think all this attention and success, i mean, you mentioned the pay gap is really down to the money brought into the game with the men's world cup, bring in 6 billion and the women's bring in 130 million. do you think this is going to increase amount is going to increase the amount of money brought the of money brought into the women's game ? women's game? >> well, making good >> well, we're making good progress with the women's game. the game developed, the women's game is developed, right. full
9:25 pm
right. we're having full stadiums at wembley, 70,000 people watching the women's game in the women's premier league now has got huge attendances and it's going to take some time for the women's game as a team sport to elevate itself up anywhere near the men's . but it won't near the men's. but it won't take that long for an individual to become a global brand because the female brands at ten times bigger than the men's brands in so many areas. so it's going to depend on who these girls have got around them. do they understand the connection between the sportswomen and the brands? and then to build up that that that that financial wealth and that global presence? >> and we saw a ferrari around nike and the goalkeeper mary earps, they didn't produce her kit so kids couldn't buy it and it felt like she was being snubbed slightly . do you think snubbed slightly. do you think naked regret doing that given given the success and given that
9:26 pm
she's been a bit of a star today, saving that goal? >> no, she's a star. there are many stars there. the thing is with with brands is that the commerciality for the men's game is already there . and they know is already there. and they know the numbers. the women's game is developing and it's developing at pace . earps is another one. at pace. earps is another one. you know, she's a one off. she's probably the best goalkeeper in the world. so then someone needs to exploit her commerciality globally . and we don't know how globally. and we don't know how much people watch football globally because all we know aboutis globally because all we know about is what's going on in england. but i can trust you in asia, in africa , all over the asia, in africa, all over the world. marry ups and leisure, reserve. lauren james they're big names now. but if no one exploits the commerciality of their brand or helps them to build their brand , then they're build their brand, then they're never going to receive those, those, those riches . and exploit those, those riches. and exploit and exploit their possibilities
9:27 pm
and exploit their possibilities and to fulfil the potential. football isn't just about fulfilling your potential on the pitch. it's about fulfilling your potential off the pitch . your potential off the pitch. and when you're relevant, you have to do it. now you have to start now because football is unforgiving. people forget you very quickly and you think we've seen in other sports, transgender athletes have come in and just dominated. >> we saw just last week there was a transgender weightlifter came in and smashed the canadian record, smashed the world record not by a few kilos by £470, 200 kilos, just an insane and insane destruction of women's records . destruction of women's records. do you think women's football could could benefit from a few lumber and blokes identifying as women and going in there? >> yes . and that's going to be a >> yes. and that's going to be a decision for the governing bodies to make. all i know is that our women are global stars now and they have an opportunity andifs now and they have an opportunity and it's whether or not they want to leave a legacy , a legacy
9:28 pm
want to leave a legacy, a legacy is not many . want to leave a legacy, a legacy is not many. not many sportspeople leave legacies . sportspeople leave legacies. there are many sportspeople, many sportswomen who do fantastic in their craft, but they don't get the love they deserve. they don't get the legacy they deserve . and whilst legacy they deserve. and whilst you're relevant and you're doing well and you're riding the crest of a wave, this is the time you've got to build your team to make sure you utilise all of the possibilities to fulfil your potential on and off the pitch . potential on and off the pitch. >> well, skye, thank you so much for joining us. that's skye forjoining us. that's skye andrew, who's a football agent. so if any of the women's players are watching , they might want to are watching, they might want to get in touch with them, have a great sky my agent now . great night, sky my agent now. >> agent . >> my agent. >> my agent. >> anyway, there's more still to come. but first, we've got the weather with dan , that warm weather with dan, that warm feeling inside from boxed bowyer's proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. weather on. gb news. >> hello, i'm dan strout and this is your latest gb news
9:29 pm
forecast from the met office. so we have high pressure to the south and low pressure to the north and west. it kind of leaves the uk in between weather systems. but this area of low pressure is starting to actually push thicker cloud and outbreaks of rain in across northern ireland. and northwest scotland . further to the south, across england and wales, largely clear skies and under those clear skies and under those clear skies , we do see some low cloud skies, we do see some low cloud mist and fog developing by dawn overnight, temperatures remaining comfortably in double figures right the way across the board. now it's a bright start come monday morning with any low cloud mist and fog across the south, quickly lifting and breaking, leaving a pleasant enough day for many across the south. further north, we have that rain edging in from the west and that rain will become locally heavy by the course of the afternoon . temperatures on the afternoon. temperatures on monday generally slightly higher than the valleys we saw on sunday with highs of 25 across
9:30 pm
the across the south and 21 further south, north. so that band of cloud and rain continues to sink south on tuesday. and this kind of sets the scene for the rest of the week as low pressure gradually wins out, turning increasingly showery for all by midweek and temperatures peaking on wednesday, particularly across the south and east for by now that that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers proud sponsors of weather on . news thanks for that weather on. news thanks for that dan we've got a few of your emails here. >> mark says i know how to improve women's football. put 22 transgender women on the pitch for every game. that was. that's a great idea . we both came up a great idea. we both came up with that . it would certainly with that. it would certainly make it more interesting. adrian adrian says . williams not that adrian says. williams not that daft. he probably thought, i'm not going that distance as not going all that distance as they'll beaten anyway, so he they'll get beaten anyway, so he hasn't to back all that hasn't got to play back all that way. i don't think
9:31 pm
way. depressed i don't think you'd depressed on private you'd be depressed on a private jet. a well stocked jet. they've got a well stocked bar i think bar, bet says. i don't think prince williams should have gone to because of his to australia, not because of his carbon footprint to get there, but because it is only a football match. okay. mike says claim it has and always will change mankind has little effect in interesting perspective. graham says, i don't care if prince william or sunak didn't go on a freebie to australia to watch football. the game is for the fans , not some fear where the fans, not some fear where the fans, not some fear where the rich blokes there we go. well, football used to be a working class pursuit, but no, it absolute fortune. it cost an absolute fortune. anyway, up next with the anyway, coming up next with the punst anyway, coming up next with the pundits as the london mayor describes white family as not describes a white family as not representing real londoners, do cockneys not exist? is flying a rip off? and can coffee cure crime? i'll see you in a couple of

radio. >> back with me now and joining me throughout the show are
9:35 pm
journalist and broadcaster linda dubal . gb news, senior political dubal. gb news, senior political commentator nigel nelson and leadership coach speaker and social commentator adrian hayes . now, according to the mayor of london's website, a white family does not represent real londoners. the photograph that you can see now formed part of an unofficial guide on the greater london authorities branding and this lovely looking family. apparently do not represent londoners with rising crime rates and a cost of living crisis, shouldn't the mirror be focusing on other things besides dividing the nation anymore ? dividing the nation anymore? now, what did you make of this? linda, i'll start with you, because i was kind of shocked to see this. i mean, i can imagine this is something that sadiq khan and a lot of people in the left would think. but to be so open about about the othering of a white family , well, i don't a white family, well, i don't know what he thinks because he withdrew the photograph and the document that it was contained in, which was the guidance
9:36 pm
document about certain things he should be saying , that's should be saying, that's a communications matter. >> what baffles me is why wouldn't you when you were using photographs and images, have a selection of asian families, chinese families , black chinese families, black families, white families or mixture of blended families? why wasn't all of that on the website ? website? >> well, i'm pretty sure they did have those people represented on the website. i don't don't know if don't know. i don't know if you've city council , any you've been on city council, any of his websites or anything , but of his websites or anything, but there is there is some there is some non—white representation. >> there. so is the >> there. so. so what is the problem with having single problem with having one single image a white family? i don't image of a white family? i don't understand what the problem is. >> well, to label it >> well, yeah, well, to label it with this family does not represent real londoners as if i mean, cockney. >> that's a common, isn't it? >> that's a common, isn't it? >> yeah, but the whole point there is that in fairness to sadiq he said that was an sadiq khan, he said that was an error. that's right. that shouldn't have been there. shouldn't have been put there. somebody there . once somebody else put it there. once it discovered, they withdrew somebody else put it there. once it butdiscovered, they withdrew somebody else put it there. once it but whatfered, they withdrew somebody else put it there. once it but what youi, they withdrew somebody else put it there. once it but what you mean withdrew somebody else put it there. once it but what you mean withi rew somebody else put it there. once it but what you mean withi got it. but what you mean was i got caught ? well, don't know that caught? well, we don't know that . what are you saying is that it was whether somebody
9:37 pm
. what are you saying is that it was doing whether somebody . what are you saying is that it was doing it whether somebody . what are you saying is that it was doing it wra:her somebody . what are you saying is that it was doing it wra:her s�*whether was doing it as a joke, whether they believed they actually believed it. >> comment , not the photograph. >> yeah. it the comment >> yeah. and it was the comment that problem. mean, that was the problem. i mean, obviously a question obviously, it's not a question about whether or not they represent real londoners. they're certainly not representative of real londoners. and this was a picture that could have come from a holiday brochure . you from a holiday brochure. you know, they're all trotting off to heathrow airport to go on happy. >> they look too happy be >> they look too happy to be londoners, honest. >> they look too happy to be lonso 1ers, honest. >> they look too happy to be lonso the honest. >> they look too happy to be lonso the whole honest. >> they look too happy to be lonso the whole honestnone of >> so the whole thing, none of them stabbed. >> so the whole thing, none of them also stabbed. >> so the whole thing, none of them also sfatheri. >> so the whole thing, none of them also sfather was in >> and also the father was in the picture. >> yeah, well, there's the point. >> that's exactly the point that if you have other there, if you have other people there, london is a real melting pot of different cultures and ethnic groups . as long as you've got groups. as long as you've got those represented to as well as well as the white londoners , well as the white londoners, that's fine. >> yeah, but adrian, i mean , the >> yeah, but adrian, i mean, the way i see this, i mean, cockneys are one of our one of britain's ethnic groups and if they were an amazonian tribe , you know, an amazonian tribe, you know, they'd have unesco, world heritage status. we'd be preserved . the culture of the preserved. the culture of the dagenham river basin. i mean, i
9:38 pm
feel that cockneys are being erased from from the place that they call endangered to look endangered. >> spit. look, i, i always i keep going back to martin luther king's quote in 1968, i looked forward to the day where people are judged by the quality of their character, not by the colour of their skin. i don't see colour and i think most of us who are enlightened don't see colour lived dubai for colour. i've lived in dubai for 20 we've got every nation 20 years. we've got every nation under world there. we don't under the world there. we don't see it and what khan is doing is just making more division and divisive politics. it's nothing to do with labour versus conservative. left versus right is that divisive character. and on the quote itself, i always think politicians like say what was done in there. it wasn't my fault if he did it is his fault is outrageous . and if he is pretty outrageous. and if he didn't didn't about didn't if he didn't know about it, incompetent. it, then he's incompetent. >> ? where's the crown? >> right? where's the crown? >> right? where's the crown? >> stops at the top. exactly. >> and also, can you imagine the ferrari, for example , a ferrari, for example, a conservative politician had posted a picture of a non—white family and said these don't
9:39 pm
represent real london or at least don't represent real britain. i mean, heads would roll . they'd be in jail. roll. they'd be in jail. >> yeah, i think everyone's just got to calm down about this and start seeing a diversity , real start seeing a diversity, real diversity. i'm proud diversity. we've got to see all these different colours, all these different colours, all these different nationalities and we've got to take it as read that we live in an international city. point ends and stop discussing this and move on to really important subjects. >> well, i think siddique could go first anyway. airlines have been unbundling their flight packages and adding a plethora of extra fees to the booking stage . for example, last week stage. for example, last week a couple got charged £110 just for printing out their boarding pass from checking in cabin bags to paying from checking in cabin bags to paying for seats. have airlines gone too far with fees? and this this being £110 to print this boarding pass, the elderly as well. >> i heard the interview live. the man and the wife . i was the man and the wife. i was listening to it. it was early in
9:40 pm
the morning and what they'd done is they'd printed out the return, said, the return return, as we said, the return boarding passes, but not the outgoing boarding passes. there were elderly couple. they didn't understand. not familiar understand. they're not familiar with the digital. >> amazed could print >> i'm amazed they could print anything out. tried to get my dad print something out like dad to print something out like my mum. >> hasn't even printer >> she hasn't even got a printer so be impossible but so that would be impossible. but they turn up at the desk and they turn up at the desk and they require to pay more in excess charges. and the original tickets cost. now hang on, there's a wider point about this, which i feel very, very strongly about, and that's the kind of single justice thing that's going on. there was another guy week before that another guy the week before that hadnt another guy the week before that hadn't to modify hadn't paid a campaign to modify the single justice rulings that go on beyond the airport charge. >> i'm sorry, what single justice. >> that's when you get a speeding fine and it clocks up through the camera and you start getting really, really heavy fines with no one involved other than a camera . and the week than a camera. and the week before, the television licence was another example of this . the was another example of this. the guy went and he didn't. he he's 82. he missed paying his
9:41 pm
television licence and eventually got to magistrates courts where he was fined £1,000 for not having a television licence . and this is the same licence. and this is the same kind of thing. i mean , i know kind of thing. i mean, i know we're talking about the aviation industry, but actually we're talking automated talking about an automated system leave any system that doesn't leave any room for intuition. and when that turned up with the that couple turned up with the wrong passes , someone wrong boarding passes, someone should have been able say, we should have been able to say, we understand you made a mistake. we're print out we're going to print them out right there'll no . right now and there'll be no. >> this is ryanair. >> yeah, but this is ryanair. come have never been that. >> and there's more. there's a general about extras general point about the extras that i mean, if you that they do. i mean, if you have a budget airline, then your bafic is have a budget airline, then your basic is to for basic payment is going to be for the think fine. the flight. i think that's fine. and very low . as and that should be very low. as long the extras they long as all the extras they throw in, like oxygen drinking water, having somewhere to sit, all that kind of stuff. well, the sitting thing is a good point i ryanair point because, i mean, ryanair can you sit with your can charge you to sit with your own family. easyjet don't british airways don't. that seems to be an extraordinary extra charge on the basis it can't cost the airline any anything just to assign you to a
9:42 pm
seat that's just about the other. but it irritates me, which i would never do again, is priority boarding, which is another ryanair little sort of scam. i mean, what is the point? you sort of walk on two minutes before everybody else. you pay £30 for the for the privilege, but leo, nigel, the big thing that bugs me is that the luggage allowance now you know your cabin now it's getting cabin baggage now it's getting about the size of a wash bag, a toothbrush and toothpaste . toothbrush and toothpaste. >> and i just think, come on, guys ' >> and i just think, come on, guys , come on. the funny guys, come on. and the funny thing and i'm seeing thing is, and i'm seeing and i've big overcoat with i've done it. big overcoat with bottles of water stuffed down the , all my heavy stuff the back, all my heavy stuff sort there . oh, you're sort of go in there. oh, you're looking overweight, sort of go in there. oh, you're loo hayes. overweight, sort of go in there. oh, you're loo hayes. and overweight, sort of go in there. oh, you're loo hayes. and ofzrweight, mr hayes. and one of those fishing jackets with a million bucks. yeah, you it. i mean, bucks. yeah, you got it. i mean, that's the way it's. it's ridiculous. that's why fly ridiculous. that's why i fly middle east airlines, right? right. that right. you don't get that problem them. right. you don't get that pro well, them. right. you don't get that pro well, waitrose 1. right. you don't get that pro well, waitrose and john lewis >> well, waitrose and john lewis are offering free drinks to are offering free hot drinks to on duty police officers in a bid to shoplifters. the to deter shoplifters. the company's of security said company's head of security said that just having a police car outside of the shop could prevent thieves from coming in. so with rising levels of
9:43 pm
shoplifting , could free coffee shoplifting, could free coffee cure crime ? cure crime? >> obviously not. >> obviously not. >> but the whole point of this is and it was really strange, actually, because i did see someone that i worked with from time to time, an ex policeman post something about this online this afternoon who said that he wasn't how it sat with the wasn't sure how it sat with the nolan principles , which are the nolan principles, which are the guiding for people in the guiding ethics for people in the pubuc guiding ethics for people in the public sector. and quite public sector. and he's quite right. sit that well right. it doesn't sit that well with yeah, it's almost brave because can seem like inducements. >> yeah, that's true. >> yeah, that's true. >> i, i think on balance, if we get over that problem, it's not a bad idea. yeah. one thing i do think about this though it's a bit cheapskate to say that they can't have reusable cups. they've got bring their sorry they've got to bring their sorry they can't have throwaway cups . they can't have throwaway cups. they've bring their own they've got to bring their own reusable . i mean, reusable cups. i mean, when they're their on, they're putting their belt on, you know, it's handcuffs truncheon , 4.5in revolver, truncheon, 4.5in revolver, reusable cup. it just doesn't it doesn't feel like that's going to actually work. >> cups should be in the car all the time . the time. >> nigel all right.
9:44 pm
>> nigel all right. >> do you think this is going to lead to an arms between lead to an arms race between supermarkets where to supermarkets where they're to going more going offer more and more things? offer things? they're going to offer doughnuts, they're going to offer police offer other things to police just praise. i have just to get the praise. i have two points. >> no problems with >> i have no problems with police coffee, having police holding a coffee, having a coffee. i prefer them a drink of coffee. i prefer them holding a coffee coffee cup than a rainbow flag. let's honest a rainbow flag. let's be honest . but if we need to bribe police with coffee to do the crime, we want, you know the biggest thing of police, the. seven police of police, the. the seven police officers who went to arrest that autistic girl last week, that outrage me. seven police officers for calling the police officers for calling the police officer a lesbian or look like a lesbian, grow and yet burglary. and this is why we're so loose losing the plot with burglary, with stabbings, with muggings, all real and it's all the real crime. and it's time the police chiefs i sack a whole of them, replace them time the police chiefs i sack a wholproperf them, replace them time the police chiefs i sack a wholproper policemenlace them time the police chiefs i sack a wholproper policemen .|ce them with proper policemen. >> there was a serious point behind when john lewis, behind this. when john lewis, and therefore waitrose decided to , they did it because to do this, they did it because assaults on their staff have doubled since 2020. >> wow. i think that's due to
9:45 pm
the quality of the ready meals . the quality of the ready meals. >> to be honest. there's been a real decline in waitrose produce. >> oh, i thought you say everyone would be fighting over them best market. >> but no, it's the theft coming up okay. coming up next, was >> okay. coming up next, was bradley cooper's jew face offensive? we'll be talking to a jewish prosthetics expert next. see in couple of
9:46 pm
9:47 pm
9:48 pm
welcome back to mark dolan tonight with me, leo kearse. i've got a couple more of your emails here. michael says, well, i can only describe the london mayor's office position on the white non london family as racist and inciting racial hatred . he needs to resign. fair hatred. he needs to resign. fair point . i hatred. he needs to resign. fair point. i mean, under hate hatred. he needs to resign. fair point . i mean, under hate speech point. i mean, under hate speech laws , is that even allowed? laws, is that even allowed? jules says 81% of the uk is white. what is the prevailing angle to try and present the uk population as not what everyone sees as the majority? and the reality i can't actually make that makes sense in my head. but it is sunday evening anyway.
9:49 pm
moving on. we've got american actor bradley cooper. we don't have him here, but he's come under fire for wearing a prosthetic nose in his new film, maestro. he plays leonard bernstein, the jewish composer, and has taken his role to new lengths by changing his nose . lengths by changing his nose. people have called it jew face, saying it's unnecessary and is the equivalent of blackface. well we're now joined by jewish prosthetic designer and expert gary archer. hi, gary. thanks for joining . us do you think do forjoining. us do you think do you think good evening or good afternoon here from california ? afternoon here from california? do you think do you think bradley cooper's elongated nose, prosthetic nose has the same resonance as blackface, which is widely recognised as terrible and condemned . and condemned. >> personally, i think this whole nose business is overblown and people are going to have their own opinions. >> and that's absolutely fine.
9:50 pm
but working in the movie and film industry, we use prosthetic tics to enable actors to get into character. that's all it is. it'sjust into character. that's all it is. it's just a into character. that's all it is. it'sjust a it's into character. that's all it is. it's just a it's like into character. that's all it is. it'sjust a it's like an is. it's just a it's like an artificial finger or a cut or fangs or ears or eyes or whatever you want to call it. it's just a piece to get into character and quite honestly, if people are going to wake up every day and say, oh, look, let me go and find something that i'm going to be offended about, we're going to have a very , very we're going to have a very, very miserable people need to miserable world. people need to just move get over it. if just move on, get over it. if you don't like it, don't go see the film. that simple . the film. it's that simple. >> i quite agree . but we've seen >> i quite agree. but we've seen a lot of a lot of fuss around actors playing roles that they don't actually fill the demographic boxes for. so we've seen straight actors get in trouble for playing gay gay roles and here we've got a non—jewish actor in trouble for playing a jewish role . do you
9:51 pm
playing a jewish role. do you think i mean, we're getting to the point where the only person that to play that would be allowed to play leonard bernstein, would be leonard bernstein, would be leonard bernstein, would be leonard bernstein himself . if we leonard bernstein himself. if we dug up his corpse and used reanimation technology . reanimation technology. >> well, quite frankly, the whole again, it's just getting to the point of ridiculousness . to the point of ridiculousness. this religion has got no basis on being silly for a role in a film . what you're being selected film. what you're being selected for is are you the best actor to do it? and bradley cooper's a fantastic actor. i've done, you know , i've watched many, many know, i've watched many, many films with him in it and he's marvellous . films with him in it and he's marvellous. i'm i'm actually a dental prosthetics designer. that's my actual true title. but we do the same thing. we make teeth for people. they use noses, they use eyes, they use wigs, they use hair, they use all sorts of prosthetics. but getting back to, you know, being jewish has got nothing to do with it. absolutely nothing. judaism is a religion and bradley cooper is an actor.
9:52 pm
judaism is a religion and bradley cooper is an actor . the bradley cooper is an actor. the two of them are mutually exclusive. and if bradley was selected by producer to do selected by the producer to do the job, then let him do the job. let him get on with it from everything i've seen, he's everything that i've seen, he's done marvellous job. the done a marvellous job. the prosthetics kazoo did prosthetics designer kazoo did a marvellous job putting everything together. i don't think it's overblown . i don't think it's overblown. i don't think it's overblown. i don't think overdone and i for think it's overdone and i for one, i'm looking forward to seeing film. seeing the film. >> the idea of a nose >> i love the idea of a nose being overblown, but as a prosthetic expert , do you think prosthetic expert, do you think bradley cooper even needed the nose?i bradley cooper even needed the nose? i mean, he doesn't have a tiny little button nose to start off with . off with. >> do i think he needed the nose 7 >> do i think he needed the nose ? it's not my call. that's between bradley cooper and the director . and whoever else they director. and whoever else they look at pictures . whenever we do look at pictures. whenever we do a film, we are we you know, we research it. we look at the character that they're portraying . we look at the we portraying. we look at the we look at their facial characteristics and we decide, will this make it look a little bit better? will this make it
9:53 pm
look a little bit closer to the character? i mean, what next are we going to have you know, winston churchill, as you know, as a skinny young man when he's 65, during world war ii? i mean , come on. it's this is again, if you want to pick on things and that's another little pun on noses. and that's another little pun on noses . if you want to pick on noses. if you want to pick on things, you're going to sit there and you're going to pick things to pieces. you can you can sit and watch a film . does can sit and watch a film. does does the star wars cantina scene need all these people dressed up as aliens ? well, it's going to as aliens? well, it's going to look a bit daft if they're all dressed as humans. so you've got to have trust. you've got to have prosthetics in a film . when have prosthetics in a film. when you're portraying a historical character. bottom line, some actors are a lot more minimalist . some are they enjoy the whole prosthetics and getting into character. and i think , again, character. and i think, again, this whole thing , you know, it's this whole thing, you know, it's this whole thing, you know, it's this whole thing, you know, it's this whole jew face thing. it's stupid. it's ridiculous. if you
9:54 pm
don't want to see it, don't see it. if you've got an opinion, thatis it. if you've got an opinion, that is fine . but don't foist that is fine. but don't foist your opinion on everybody else saying , well, this is the way it saying, well, this is the way it is. you're entitled to your opinion . you know, express your opinion. you know, express your opinion. you know, express your opinion by not paying your £10 to go and see it in the theatre end of story. >> gary i could not agree more. let the audience decide. it's we need freedom of expression. we need freedom of expression. we need actors to be allowed to be actors . thanks forjoining us. actors. thanks forjoining us. that's gary. gary archer, prosthetics expert , coming in prosthetics expert, coming in live from america. anyway, coming up next is my take at ten after sneaky siddiq gets exposed for silencing scientists who revealed that ulez has had little impact , is it revealed that ulez has had little impact, is it time revealed that ulez has had little impact , is it time the little impact, is it time the expansion comes to an end? i'll see you in a couple of minutes . see you in a couple of minutes. >> looks like things are heating up. boxed boilers proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. of weather on. gb news.

exposed for silencing scientists who reveal ulez has little impact . is it who reveal ulez has little impact. is it time the expansion comes to an end and is labour ? comes to an end and is labour? the party for women will be discussing that with former cabinet minister ann widdecombe. in tonight's newsmaker. cabinet minister ann widdecombe. in tonight's newsmaker . and mark in tonight's newsmaker. and mark dolan tonight is the home of the papers with tomorrow's front pages from exactly 10:30 pm. sharp . so it's a busy era to sharp. so it's a busy era to come . it's time to grab come. it's time to grab something cold in fizzy or fire up the kettle and let's make a night of it. but first, the headunes night of it. but first, the headlines with tatiana sanchez . headlines with tatiana sanchez. >> leo, thank you. good evening . this is the latest from the gb newsroom . england missed out on newsroom. england missed out on world cup glory today, losing the final to spain . one nil the the final to spain. one nil the lionesses came agonisingly close to becoming the first england senior side to win the trophy since the men's team in 1966. the king praised their skill, determination and team spirit and the prime minister said
10:01 pm
while it wasn't to be, they've already secured their legacy as game changers. already secured their legacy as game changers . despite the loss, game changers. despite the loss, gini allitt, a member of the original lionesses team of 1972, still has hopes for the future . still has hopes for the future. >> i think that whole whole of england is very emotional at the moment. it could have come home. spain was just that little bit better if i have to be honest, we should have just done the take the chances, what we had . take the chances, what we had. it wasn't to be. it will come home eventually . home eventually. >> in other news, the british medical association is calling for hospital managers to be regulated in a similar way to medical staff . the call comes regulated in a similar way to medical staff. the call comes in the wake of lucy libby's conviction. the bma says it's deeply worrying that consultants who repeatedly raised concerns about the former nurse weren't listened to. letby, who was found guilty of the murder of seven babies, found the attempted murder of six others, has indicated she won't attend her sentencing tomorrow. former justice secretary robert buckland says she should be
10:02 pm
forced to listen. >> my suggestion had been to make sure that there was a live link beamed into the cell, either sound or sound and pictures to ensure that letby had nowhere to hide and that she, in effect , has to listen to she, in effect, has to listen to what the judge is saying about the case and most importantly, the case and most importantly, the victim personal statements. those impact statements that will really bring home, i think, to the wider world the appalling , devastating impact of the loss of these innocent children, these innocent babies have had upon dozens of families . upon dozens of families. >> a ten year old girl who was found dead at her home in woking was known to the local council pnor was known to the local council prior death . sara sharif prior to her death. sara sharif was found on august the 10th after police were called from pakistan by her father. he his partner and his brother are all wanted for questioning. police believe they travelled to islamabad the day after her body was discovered . surrey county was discovered. surrey county council said it would work tirelessly to gain a full understanding of the situation .

understanding of the situation. in and finally, russia's luna 25 spacecraft has crashed onto the moon. a rocket carrying the craft launched on the 11th of august. the country in a space race against india, whose chandrayaan three is due to land on the satellite south pole this week . well, this was moscow's week. well, this was moscow's first mission to the moon in 47 years. the failed attempt is a blow to the country, which was hoping to return with the first samples of frozen water. this is gb news across the uk on tv , in gb news across the uk on tv, in your car, on digital radio, and on your smart speaker by saying play gb news now it's back to . leo >> welcome to mark dolan tonight with me, leo kearse in tonight's newsmaker with former cabinet minister ann widdecombe , is minister ann widdecombe, is labour the party for women ? and labour the party for women? and this show is the home of the people's for you. off the people's for you. hot off the press, live at 10:30 pm. sharp. plus we'll have tonight's headline, heroes and back page.
10:04 pm
big stories, big guests and always big opinions . here is my always big opinions. here is my ticket to . in we need to talk ticket to. in we need to talk about ulez . ticket to. in we need to talk about ulez. no, ticket to. in we need to talk about ulez . no, not the about ulez. no, not the homophobic slur. i'm talking about ultra low emission zones as left wing politicians look to expand them around the country . expand them around the country. the evidence says it's actually time to scrap them. look at london with the big daddy of ulez schemes. london's leftie mayor, sadiq khan wants to expand it far out to the suburbs. it makes no sense . suburbs. it makes no sense. there's far less traffic and consequently less pollution on the leafy outskirts of the city than there is at piccadilly circus . and people in the circus. and people in the suburbs need their cars. everything is farther apart. there isn't a dense network of pubuc there isn't a dense network of public transport links and people in the sticks have people out in the sticks have families need shepherd families they need to shepherd around and there are older people who on their cars people who depend on their cars for . they can't afford for mobility. they can't afford to spend £12.50 every time they roll off their driveway to visit some friends go to the bingo
10:05 pm
some friends or go to the bingo , can see that it's , we can all see that it's nothing to do with air quality. it's blatant cash grab to fill it's a blatant cash grab to fill the massive £1.6 billion hole in the massive £1.6 billion hole in the mayor's transport budget thanks to lockdown, which he was a fan of. it's a financial disaster of his own making, but it's ordinary people who will have to pay for it. but what's interesting is that even the original ulez in the centre of london is based on dodgy science. i thought it science. i always thought it made as congestion and air made sense as congestion and air quality bad in the heart of quality is bad in the heart of the capital. this week the the capital. but this week the telegraph the telegraph revealed the disturbing news that the scientists by the mayor's scientists paid by the mayor's office to find evidence of ulez success had in fact found that it barely made a difference to air quality. so the mayor's office had leaned on the scientists to make them revise the report. imperial college's environmental research group has been paid more than £800,000 by khan to evaluate ulez. that's a lot of money and it turns out it buys the scientific results you want . when the scientists want. when the scientists published results showing
10:06 pm
siddiqui's ultra low emission zone policy had little impact on pollution, the mayor's office were furious. a deputy to the mayor got in touch and told the scientists she was really disappointed that they hadn't come up with the results. the mayor's office wanted. after some arm twisting, the scientists then issued a statement saying ulez had helped to dramatically reduce air pollution. the twist this statement was partly written by the deputy mayor. listen. we're told to follow the science, but half the time the science is bought and paid for what others ? science can't be trusted. just this week , government covid this week, government covid adviser van—tam , who adviser jonathan van—tam, who convinced us all of the scientific benefits of vaccines, just took a lucrative job with moderna , who made billions off moderna, who made billions off the vaccines . ulez schemes need the vaccines. ulez schemes need to go. even keir hates them because they're so unpopular with voters . labour's shock with voters. labour's shock defeat in the uxbridge byelection shows how unwanted they are. people have even been dnven they are. people have even been driven to break the law to tackle them with the blade runner group sabotaging an
10:07 pm
estimated 300 cameras, and if emissions are as bad as sadiq says, why would you allow somebody to pay £12.50 to emit them? none of it makes any sense. follow the science and scrap ulez . what do you think? scrap ulez. what do you think? do you agree with me? do you disagree? send your comments into gb views at gb news.com and i'll get to your emails after the break. reacting to my take at ten tonight are journalist and broadcaster linda double gb news senior political commentator nigel nelson and leadership coach speaker and social commentator adrian hayes. no social commentator adrian hayes. n0 i'd social commentator adrian hayes. no i'd like to get your reaction to this. i was shocked to find out that sadiq khan office had influenced the science even going to as far as writing or co—writing the statement that the scientists issued. >> that's the point i wouldn't want to comment on the actual results because i haven't seen the evidence i haven't seen
10:08 pm
the evidence and i haven't seen those you shouldn't those results. but you shouldn't be able to get the bye bye say the result you want and you certainly shouldn't have a hand in writing the end executive statement if you like. yeah >> and i've worked in in analytics, i was a criminal intelligence analyst and what i've seen from doing the job is that you can carefully pick and choose cherry pick your data to support whatever conclusion you want. so there are very few police operations that failed on paper because we could , if paper because we could, if it didn't show a decrease month on month, we could look at the same month, we could look at the same month, the previous year or go back five years. i mean, do you do you trust the science? well i think i go along with linda. >> i'm not seeing the results ehhen >> i'm not seeing the results either. and think that the either. and i think that the scientists need to explain themselves. so they went did a complete u—turn and said, oh, not much damage from from air pollution . oh, loads of damage pollution. oh, loads of damage from air pollution . so it seems from air pollution. so it seems to me that they've got to answer that one. i mean, my understanding is that the ula
10:09 pm
scheme in central london that was boris johnson. was introduced by boris johnson. yeah cut air pollution by over a half. so certainly it's work when it comes down to compliant cars. so no, i think the figure was was 39% were compliant in 2017 when he came in. now it's 94% in principle , i think ulez 94% in principle, i think ulez is a good idea where sadiq has got it wrong is how he's implementing it for greater london. so he should have started off by not coming in with £12.50 for a start, it should have been £2.50. graduated up to the £12.50. and the other big thing is to make the other big thing is to make the scrappage scheme work for the scrappage scheme work for the counties that surround london. if you're a nurse working in kent, sorry, living in kent, but working in a london hospital, you should be able to qualify for the £2,000 scrappage scheme to make your car compliant about where you're driving to. >> not.
10:10 pm
>> not. >> yeah . and so on the basis of >> yeah. and so on the basis of that, that i think that he's caused so much anger by suddenly imposing this on people who've never voted for it. you know it's essex surrey, it's can and that was the mistake but the scheme itself. no i'm not against my. >> well two points. leo and nigel. firstly, i keep an air pollution app on my phone because places i go, i need to know whether i can run safely. and i always look at london. london right now, tonight is about western london 17. it doesn't matter what it is, but it's quite equivalent to perth, western which is western australia, which is probably air in the probably the cleanest air in the whole world. we've got great. >> london >> we are london bad. >> we are london bad. >> if khan really >> but if mr khan is really worried pollution, worried about pollution, he should places. go, should go to some places. i go, like the middle east like katmandu, the middle east cities, mumbai , chennai, cities, delhi, mumbai, chennai, karachi, they are just choking and you know, and we don't we ignore this. but the other point i want to make is this this story. i think i said to you in the break, it's quite astonishing, but it's not because every scientific paper
10:11 pm
we read, you've got to take a degree of scepticism with it because you've got to ask who is funding , who because you've got to ask who is funding, who is because you've got to ask who is funding , who is influencing, who funding, who is influencing, who is controlling ? scientists will is controlling? scientists will do what they're asked for. and i think this fact that £800,000 put from the mayor's office to the actual data, the science , the actual data, the science, they found that the scheme did decrease nitrogen oxide by 3. only and nothing with nothing particle . yep. no particles, particle. yep. no particles, nothing at all. it was minor, but it was changed. as you said, it was changed to dramatic increase in dramatic decrease in pollution. so i think we've got to be very sceptical with science and it goes on to the wider climate science alarmism and all the rest of the things we read. you know, robin williams once said about politicians, he said they should wear drivers wear like nascar, nascar drivers with with logos on their suits are saying who is funding them. and i think we should got to say the with scientists. and i think we should got to say the also, with scientists. and i think we should got to say the also, wantrvith scientists. and i think we should got to say the also, want to1 scientists. and i think we should got to say the also, want to point1tists. but also, i want to point out that when read science that when you read about science in newspapers , it's small, in newspapers, it's a small, often small, very crystallised
10:12 pm
often a small, very crystallised aspect of a much, much bigger study. >> most people don't bother to go to the raw data and start understanding. >> you need to read the studies. >> you need to read the studies. >> this is this is a great point. >> i mean, do you think there's a risk of scientists over sensational using their work to get it into the people, to get more funding, to get more? >> to do it. the >> they don't have to do it. the journalists will do it for them. >> well, they'll take the strap line or their top headline and dramatise they'll go, i know dramatise it. they'll go, i know what they do because did it . what they do because i did it. >> to the >> they'll go straight to the executive . executive summary. >> you're giving away the trade secrets. >> they'll start writing >> then they'll start writing about , and they about that, and then they may interview the people that are interested in who've performed interested in who've performed in the study. they'll get a few quotes and they'll bash those in. will come in. the subeditor will come along headline across in. the subeditor will come alortop. headline across in. the subeditor will come alortop. and headline across in. the subeditor will come alortop. and that'sadline across in. the subeditor will come alortop. and that's the 1e across in. the subeditor will come alortop. and that's the story.)ss the top. and that's the story. i mean, the really important thing when it's subject this serious when it's a subject this serious is to go to the raw data, to get to the source material as much as you can. as you can. >> as you can. >> do you think journalists don't have the time and resources anymore to do that? to do that? >> i think in in defence of my
10:13 pm
profession , not specifically to profession, not specifically to this, but yeah , i think what this, but yeah, i think what actually happens is we discovered this during covid, for instance, bear in mind we don't understand the science . i don't understand the science. i mean, journalists are there to try become instant experts try and become instant experts in to be able to then in something to be able to then present that in a readable way to public. so a lot of the to the public. so a lot of the time you're spending with scientists trying to get them. i talked to more scientists during the pandemic than i ever talked to politicians . and what you to politicians. and what you need actually choose need to do is actually choose the ones you can believe in and you think are telling you the truth and can explain it in a reasonable way. and then you present information present that information as fairly as you can. >> or do you take both sides and usual extremely experienced journalistic background to decide critical thinking which one could be best or put both sides of story? because that's what the media didn't do. i know we're off the but we're going off the subject, but what the media, journalists, what the media, the journalists, msm with covid and msm didn't do with covid and they're climate they're not doing with climate on that particular one because i was talking so many was talking to so many scientists ones found scientists, the ones i found most believable and the most
10:14 pm
convincing were the ones who believed that the vaccine was not harmful . not harmful. >> and when i listened to the scientists who believed it was, i didn't have the same confidence in them . confidence in them. >> right. that's interesting because, i mean, think covid because, i mean, i think covid certainly personally, certainly for me personally, that , you know, broke certainly for me personally, that, you know, broke my certainly for me personally, that , you know, broke my trust that, you know, broke my trust in scientists to a certain degree and in politicians. anyway, coming up , we've got the anyway, coming up, we've got the papers at 10:30 pm. sharp with full reaction . but next, full panel reaction. but next, tonight's is former tonight's newsmaker is former cabinet minister widdecombe cabinet minister ann widdecombe . we're going to be asking her, .we're going to be asking her, is the party for women? is labour the party for women? see you in couple of
10:15 pm
10:16 pm
10:17 pm
radio. >> welcome back to mark dolan tonight. with me, leo kersten. we've got a few of your emails here, jules says. marlene and shawn wins. did white face in the 2004 film white chicks and no one complained then or no ? no one complained then or no? well, a few people complained. it's a funny film, though, steve
10:18 pm
says jew face is offensive , not says jew face is offensive, not the nose itself. get a life , the nose itself. get a life, everyone, john says ulez has always been a green tax rip off cash. always been a green tax rip off cash . anne and the whole of cash. anne and the whole of parliament and the house of lords needs to go. we want anarchy in the uk. from john and wendy, says sadiq khan is a dishonest disaster. his failed ulez plan is nothing more than a tax grab, which is nothing to do with air quality. great sure. by the way, thanks, wendy. appreciate that. and i totally agree with you about the green tax grab. says . so as tax grab. richard says. so as long as i pay £12.50, i can make as much pollution pollution as i want to. great point, richard. it doesn't make any sense. if it's so bad, why let people pay to do it anyway? it's time now for the newsmaker in which a fearless commentator speaks out on the big stories of the day. and tonight, labour has opened up a huge lead over the tories among women voters. according to among women voters. according to a new report today, many of whom are turning to starmer's are turning to keir starmer's party because they feel financially after 13
10:19 pm
financially insecure after 13 years of conservative rule and a poll by yougov , labour now has poll by yougov, labour now has a 28 point lead over the tories among women compared with a 21 point advantage among men, which is still pretty sizeable. to discuss this , i'm joined by discuss this, i'm joined by former cabinet minister ann widdecombe . and thanks for widdecombe. and thanks for joining us. hello hello. hello. do you believe that labour is the party for women given that keir isn't even sure a woman is ? >> 7- >> no ?- >> no, 7- >> no,i 7 >> no , i certainly don't believe >> no, i certainly don't believe they're the party for women . they're the party for women. >> i think it's an absolute nonsense side . you know, you nonsense side. you know, you have point to why it would be have to point to why it would be that labour should be the party for men . you have to give some for men. you have to give some policies. you have to give some examples. i mean , the fact is examples. i mean, the fact is the tories have had three women prime labour talk, the tories have had three women prim
10:20 pm
party for the woman who actually wants to be a full time mother, who wants to stay at home and bnng who wants to stay at home and bring up her children. and both parties have over the years . and parties have over the years. and cameron and osborne, you got the impression that they wouldn't be happy until every woman in the country was out to work and over the years, tax policies and all the years, tax policies and all the rest of it have discriminated against that particular family where you've got two adults and some children living on one income and they are discriminated against. and i actually think there would be a big plus for the first party to say , actually, we need to look say, actually, we need to look at this and we don't only need to look at it, we need to do something about it because there is actually nothing more important than bringing up tomorrow citizens. >> yeah, no, i couldn't agree more. and we seem to be dependent as a nation on on importing workers as immigrants . i firmly believe that the main route for entry into the country
10:21 pm
should be through a birth canal rather than across the channel so would you like to see more pro natal policies to encourage people to have more children ? people to have more children? >> i don't want to actively encourage people to do either to either have more children or to have fewer children that that i regard as an impertinent on the part of the state. it's nobody's business. but what i do want to see is a level playing field between the woman who wants to stay at home and bring up her children and the woman who goes out to work. and at the moment it's a one way flow and not only that, but there's almost a stigma to staying behind and bringing up your children and not going out to work as if somehow this is some sort of inferior choice and it isn't . it inferior choice and it isn't. it is actually a crucial choice that once we took for granted and is now being denied to many women now , undeniably, if it was
10:22 pm
women now, undeniably, if it was made simpler and less less tax disadvantages existed for women who wanted to stay at home and bnng who wanted to stay at home and bring up their children, then you might see an increase in the number of women. but if you want to talk about the population , to talk about the population, hang on. you want to talk about increasing the population , just increasing the population, just let me draw to your attention that 11 million babies have been aborted since 1967. that's 11 million people taking out of the working population. >> but i mean, surely women can work and raise children at the same time. my wife works full time . she's at home with my time. she's at home with my daughter right now and we share the childcare and my daughter goes to nursery as well. i mean, wouldn't it be great to have policies that enabled enabled women to do both to contribute to the economy and to raise children ? children? >> now? i think the problem is that all the pressure is on women to do both. and i believe that women should be able to make a choice. they might choose
10:23 pm
to do they might choose to to do both. they might choose to go to and not stay at go out to work and not stay at home. or they might want to be at the whole time . and i at home the whole time. and i see earthly reason why that see no earthly reason why that third category should be denied their choice. >> yeah, no , that's fair enough. >> yeah, no, that's fair enough. and it certainly seems a shame that in 2023 we've moved away from a system where one working salary can support an entire family. but moving on, we've got education secretary gillian keegan says people go to university because they don't know what else to do. is she right ? right? >> she's sent me, right. i think the problem actually goes back to blair when blair decided that 5,050% of the population should go to university, 50% of the population should not go to university. and the problem now is you've got institutions that call themselves universities that would once have been called polytechnics. and who would have had excellent world class vocational courses now give out
10:24 pm
things that they call degrees 0, which are effectively no more than the old fashioned diplomas , and they therefore charge as universities and children or young people rather, are paying through the nose , through loans through the nose, through loans and all the rest of it. very often , certainly not always, but often, certainly not always, but very often on for a qualification that is not going to give them any particular advantage in life. and that is what is so wrong and nobody's got the guts to tackle that now i think. gillian keegan is right when she says that , you know, when she says that, you know, people go to university who shouldn't . i don't think she's shouldn't. i don't think she's right when she says it's because they don't know what else to do. there are lots of other opportunities that are career , opportunities that are career, of course, and most local. >> sorry . we've got to we've >> i'm sorry. we've got to we've got to leave it there. unfortunately completely got to leave it there. unfortwith sly completely got to leave it there. unfortwith you. completely got to leave it there. unfortwith you.
10:25 pm
weather with dynamic dan, a brighter outlook with boxt solar. >> proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> hello, i'm dan strout and this is your latest gb news forecast from the met office. so we have high pressure to the south and low pressure to the north. and west. it kind of leaves the uk in between weather systems, but this area of low pressure is starting to actually push thicker cloud and outbreaks of rain in across northern ireland and northwest scotland. further to the south, across england and wales, largely clear skies and under those clear skies, we do see some low cloud mist and fog developing by dawn overnight , temperatures overnight, temperatures remaining comfortably in double figures right the way across the board. now it's a bright start come monday morning with any low cloud mist and fog across the south, quickly lifting and breaking , leaving a pleasant breaking, leaving a pleasant enough day for many across the south. further north, we have
10:26 pm
that rain edging in from the west and that rain will become locally heavy by the course of the afternoon . temperatures on the afternoon. temperatures on monday generally slightly higher than the values we saw on sunday with highs of 25 across the across the south and 21 further south, north. so that band of cloud and rain continues to sink south on tuesday. and this kind of sets the scene for the rest of sets the scene for the rest of the week as low pressure gradually wins out, turning increasingly showery for all by midweek week and temperatures peaking on wednesday, particularly across the south and east. by for now , a brighter and east. by for now, a brighter outlook with boxt solar >> proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> coming up, we've got the peepers at 1030 sharp with full panel reaction. plus tonight's headline, heroes and back heroes. plus, the results of tonight's twitter pull is labour the party for women? see you in
10:27 pm
a
10:28 pm
10:29 pm
10:30 pm
radio. >> the results of tonight's twitter poll are in early. we ask you as labour takes a 20 point lead over the tories among female voters is labour the party for women? no 13% of yes. well, 87% of you see no . well, well, 87% of you see no. well, bizarrely, the yougov poll seems to disagree as as women have a 20. labour has a 20 point lead amongst female voters. anyway, it's 10:30 amongst female voters. anyway, it's10:30 p.m. so it's time for a look at tomorrow morning's newspapers . hot off the press. newspapers. hot off the press. first up, we've got the daily express seeing king brings andrew in from the cold. that's the summit at balmoral about the future of the royal family. the guardian has prayed in pain. that's the loss of the lionesses today. the daily mail has meat covered letby faces . so that's
10:31 pm
covered letby faces. so that's the demand from the victims families. as the killer nurses set to hide in the cell, they're demanding a change to the law to force her to face the people who were who had their children stolen from them in that tragic those tragic murders. the independent has the ecstasy and the agony as england thrill millions but then lose the eye has tories tell sunak to sack braverman . so there's increasing braverman. so there's increasing pressure there to fire the home secretary . the mirror has proud secretary. the mirror has proud of you defeat, but lionesses inspire nation. the metro has you all did us proud at and continuing the theme the star have. continuing the theme the star have . we are so proud of you. have. we are so proud of you. okay looking at those stories , okay looking at those stories, we've got the express there with the king bringing andrew in from the king bringing andrew in from the cold. i mean, do you think it's been long enough, but people have forgotten about andrew's ally nations and also associations have not been long enough , has it?
10:32 pm
enough, has it? >> no, it's not been long enough. i don't know what he is doing in a summit of the royal family at balmoral about the future of kingship when actually he couldn't moderate his own behaviour . behaviour. >> well, i mean, the only thing i would say about that is that if you're to going talk about what monarchy will look like in future generations, and if it's true that charles sees himself as a caretaker for king a reforming son who will then become a monarch, i can then understand why he would want prince andrew there. prince harry, it doesn't mean they're coming back in the fold. but as they're part of that family , it they're part of that family, it would seem to make sense to actually bring them in, talk about it with them and see where the future lies, both for those two as well. >> and the first point i can understand that, charles, as we hear today, himself hear today, thinks of himself characterises himself as as characterises himself as a as a caretaker monarch, and he's passing the reins on to prince william, who will be more of a campaign. understand all of campaign. i understand all of that. would they want
10:33 pm
that. but why would they want prince opinion on this? prince andrew's opinion on this? you know , i take it as the royal you know, i take it as the royal version of a company off site. >> you know, you have last year's results, next year's goals 20, 20, 30 vision goals, 20, 20, 30 vision statement . you know, we know statement. you know, we know that charles wants well, do we know? i don't know. >> but we don't actually. >> but we don't actually. >> i admire him for having this this summit. and i suppose is the argument about andrew or about him the sum itself? i i see what you're saying about whether andrew has a place in this, but he is a brother. >> but that's not the same thing, is it ? thing, is it? >> but it's probably what you do with i mean, ought with him. i mean, they ought to be you're deciding be there while you're deciding what him in the what you do with him in the future. the way future. and the same way that harry should there to decide harry should be there to decide what him, which what you do with him, which i mean, we've got to remember, i mean, we've got to remember, i mean, andrew faced mean, prince andrew never faced any . any charges. >> so, you know, legally he's an innocent. that's right. yeah. and , mean, respect and also, i mean, i respect a prince who goes out and behaves like takes full advantage of being a prince. parties at china white goes to billionaire islands. i mean, actually one of
10:34 pm
one of gadhafi's sons . you know, one of gadhafi's sons. you know, surely you should if you're given that position in life, run with it. >> he has done . and now we don't >> he has done. and now we don't want to hear any more about him. >> i want to see him back on newsnight. remember the interview with emily maitlis ? interview with emily maitlis? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> you know, i've had a few car crashes myself on tv, but that was just something that was it was just something that was it was amazing. but prince william seems really stealthily seems to have really stealthily sort of come from behind and taken the world is hugely popular in america now and around the world. i think prince william is really the future. >> but charles is getting on a bit. i mean, it's not like when the queen took over in her early 20s, charles obviously can see that he's not going to hang around quite as long as his mother did. yeah. and on the bafis mother did. yeah. and on the basis of that , to actually prime basis of that, to actually prime william for the monarchy william up for the monarchy wants to see while you preserve in the interim the sort of steady as you go kind of
10:35 pm
situation while the country is facing a crisis that seems fairly sensible. >> yeah but by all accounts, william does not really see eye to eye with andrew. so that's a well , yeah, well, to eye with andrew. so that's a well, yeah, well, there's a there's a few people in the royal family who don't see to eye eye. >> it's the most fantastic soap opera. i don't think i'd change it. calls to it. we've also got the calls to and the eye, the tories tell sunak to sack braverman . now, sunak to sack braverman. now, i should imagine this is just, you know, the tory party is obviously split into factions. it's more like about five parties corralled into into one group. but centrist conservatives are putting the prime minister under increasing pressure to fire the home secretary after repeated small failures. and there are rumours she will go in the autumn reshuffle . i mean, do you think reshuffle. i mean, do you think she does for some some conservatives , some conservatives, some conservatives, some conservatives have said , you conservatives have said, you know, she's she's too she talks too tough. she's got a toxic toxic or whatever . toxic or whatever. >> well, she got all those things . but, >> well, she got all those things. but, i mean, the real problem is she's and competent
10:36 pm
and we got to a stage where the whole small boats policy , the whole small boats policy, the whole small boats policy, the whole immigration policy is just all over the place. and she's the one who's in charge of that . on the basis of that, i think that she deserves to be fired . that she deserves to be fired. what needs to be done in the process then, is to stop the home office being such a huge department hive off immigration, give home office, the police law and order, that kind of thing that. yeah, but i think it's unfair to blame braverman for all the policy around the small boats failing because the government's been stymied at every step. >> the rwanda plan everything everything they do is stymied by by courts in europe , courts by courts in europe, courts here, by or by the lords, by the courts completely. but leo, one of the aspects and leadership is my one of my working hats, one of the many attributes of leaders is courage. >> and i just see this whole last 12, 13 years. there is not
10:37 pm
the courage to stand up to x to face down y , to make something face down y, to make something happen. if i was rishi sunak, i would be going to see emmanuel macron and saying , would be going to see emmanuel macron and saying, emmanuel, we're going to turn down back the boats, but we want your help to work with us. a leader has got negotiation skills. make it happen. >> i've done that. they've paid france £1 billion and who's france half £1 billion and who's followed ? followed up with it? >> nothing's but >> nothing's happened. but nigel's right it's complete >> nothing's happened. but nigel'snothing'ss complete >> nothing's happened. but nigel'snothing's happening. chaos. nothing's happening. whether the home office reorganising would help, i think it would. many things it would. i mean, many things would we've to would help, but we've got to start. to start. we've got to show leadership this whole debacle. >> well, i think we need a civil service that enacts the will of up to the civil servants. >> hang on a minute. >> well, hang on a minute. >> well, hang on a minute. >> was piece really >> there was a piece a really interesting piece in the sunday times this morning, and said interesting piece in the sunday timethelis morning, and said interesting piece in the sunday timethe whole ning, and said interesting piece in the sunday timethe whole thing and said interesting piece in the sunday timethe whole thing and saia that the whole thing was like a tarantino esque film. you've got suella braverman, you've got robert jenrick, you've got the civil service all firing at each other, much bloodshed . it's kind other, much bloodshed. it's kind of reservoir dogs scenario erupting . the fact is, it does
10:38 pm
erupting. the fact is, it does require leadership and it requires leadership from rishi sunak actually, yeah , i agree. sunak actually, yeah, i agree. >> the answer obviously on that is that they have policies that work. you mentioned rwanda. it's not her fault. it's been stymied. my sort of counterargument to that would be you should never have gone to gone for the rwanda policy in the first place. >> a similar policy worked in australia didn't do the australia where we didn't do the opposition from from courts in europe blocking and europe that were blocking and where they had a civil service actually enacted. because actually enacted. what? because remember, for remember, people vote for politicians, vote for politicians, they don't vote for bureaucrats in the civil service. >> but the australian system system completely different system is completely different from what we're facing in the channel. were channel. i mean, you were talking about adrian, about turning boats back to turning the boats back to france. you can't do that with their dinghies. the their little dinghies. the reason that the australians were able back to able to turn the boats back to indonesia is that the coastline was 150 miles away and the boats were bigger. so there aren't there aren't comparable sort of things to actually make it small boats a misnomer these days. >> they're like holding 75, 85, 95. >> but this is still children's
10:39 pm
paddung >> but this is still children's paddling pools crossing the channel. >> surely a small boat is easier to push back. >> but how do you do that? what would destroyer i feel if they would a destroyer i feel if they were the big stick is you. how far you get. >> i wouldn't put it past the government to announce a big stick policy. no. >> what i. >> what i. >> but if you if you break the business model, do it with france . they say we're going to france. they say we're going to do but we want you do it anyway, but we want you with it. break the business model. these criminals model. these are criminals that are exploiting and killing people. think you think >> do you think do you think it's needs joined up? it's some that needs joined up? thinking europe? because it's some that needs joined up? thirwhole europe? because it's some that needs joined up? thirwhole of europe? because it's some that needs joined up? thirwhole of europe pe? because it's some that needs joined up? thirwhole of europe pe?you:ause the whole of europe is, you know, suffering burden know, suffering under the burden right . right. >> unfair. back to the north africa. right. right back to the edges of where this happens. it all needs some cohesive thought and that's not happening. >> think we need to >> and do you think we need to go into africa ? because, go into north africa? because, i mean, many states have mean, so many states there have failed know, the arab failed, you know, since the arab spnng. failed, you know, since the arab spring . you know, seen spring. you know, we've seen libya and all these states now in a state of chaos . and so in a state of chaos. and so there's effective government there's no effective government there's no effective government there to actually stop migrants coming off foreign aid budget,
10:40 pm
which is, i think, 10 to 12 billion. >> correct me for i mean, maybe that should be to going sort out the instability in these countries rather funding countries rather than funding india's program , which india's space program, which is actually by the actually labour's policy by the way, to do just that to actually deal with it. >> source and return the >> it's source and return the aid budget to its full amount, the 0.7% of gdp and spend it in those countries. and do you think labour will able to think labour will be able to tackle because we're tackle this because we're looking at prospect a looking at the prospect of a labour quite soon? labour government quite soon? yeah. at moment yeah. well i mean at the moment they're on the right track about what needs to be done. they haven't quite told us how they're it well and they're going to do it well and that's waiting for. that's the bit i'm waiting for. the they're very quiet about the detail . detail. >> e“- f— detail. >> from nigel first >> we'll hear from nigel first before anything else . before anything else. >> yeah, and it'll be after keir's focus group past everyone to make sure it's palatable. i've got i've got to admit, everything that comes out with you seems to be like, what do you seems to be like, what do you guys like? that's what i like as well. it doesn't seem to have that that core of . of have that that core of. of ideology , ideological drive. ideology, ideological drive. >> well, it's not tony blair. i
10:41 pm
mean, the whole sort of the ideology that tony blair had , ideology that tony blair had, keir starmer hasn't got , but at keir starmer hasn't got, but at least we've got now tony blair advisor him, so he might pick up some of it from the prime some of it from the former prime minister. yeah >> and looking at the daily mail, they've got story mail, they've got this story about lucy letby , the horrific about lucy letby, the horrific murderer who has avoided appearing for sentencing, avoided appearing when i believe when the verdict was was read out. the families are asking for the law to be changed to force because, i mean, the law just doesn't just have to be done. it has to be seen to be done. that's well, changing that's a well, it is changing and there are moves to get the person who's convicted to person who's been convicted to appear for sentencing as a as a given. >> that's what's to going happen. but it's not moving fast enough for this trial. i've heard that it might be rubber stamped by the end of this year, but there are definitely moves already the pipeline to get already in the pipeline to get this to happen. i can this to happen. and i can understand why important understand why it's so important because to a horrible word, because to use a horrible word, those families need some form of
10:42 pm
closure. yeah but also lucy letby needs to be put up there. so that she arrives out of herself . imposed psychotic herself. imposed psychotic bubble and faces up to what she's actually done. instead of existing in this pool of self delusion. i think it's incredibly important that she i don't i don't see any material benefit of either dragging her kicking and screaming into the dock or or gagging and binding her and bringing her in that way. >> i do quite like robert. i think it's right that she should hear the sentence, but i quite like robert buckland, the former attorney suggestion that attorney general suggestion that that should be if you won't come to court, it's piped into her cell. so she has hear what is cell. so she has to hear what is being said in in court. it's not quite what the families want, but it seems to me as a middle way that might be the way forward . forward. >> and do you think we could have in cell so have a camera in her cell so people her? yes, that's have a camera in her cell so peo point. her? yes, that's the point. >> yes. idea the point. mes. ma >> yes. the idea the idea would be video link. right. so be done by video link. right. so she would have to actually listen sentence and all the
10:43 pm
listen to sentence and all the various reports that come out . various reports that come out. >> does the law provide for that? right >> robert buckland, he's >> robert buckland, given he's he was once in charge of the law. says yes, right . law. he says yes, yes, right. >> i want to take another point on this story. i was actually we were talking outside. i'm surprised only one of the papers has actually let be but has actually got let be on. but what i think what we'll find in the papers today and tomorrow be all the sentencing all about the sentencing and everything but i'm seeing everything there. but i'm seeing i said linda and nigel, i am i said to linda and nigel, i am feeling a sea change with the attitudes to the nhs. i mean , attitudes to the nhs. i mean, let's not forget six weeks ago, we had church service the most we had a church service the most bizarre thing of our leaders of the opposition prime minister bizarre thing of our leaders of the oppytotion prime minister bizarre thing of our leaders of the oppyto god prime minister bizarre thing of our leaders of the oppyto god to �*ime minister bizarre thing of our leaders of the oppyto god to thaninnister bizarre thing of our leaders of the oppyto god to thank for;ter bizarre thing of our leaders of the oppyto god to thank for the praying to god to thank for the nhs. but these , this catastrophe nhs. but these, this catastrophe and management of the nhs and the management of the nhs and the management of the nhs and what's gone on with other hospital trusts. i am seeing this, this whole trust in the nhs is just falling apart and i'm i think it's a great time to be credit to wes streeting he took the tories by surprise, said he's going to reform the nhs when he comes in. hope he nhs when he comes in. i hope he is. can, that he may is. if he can, that he may follow through and have an
10:44 pm
easier time. the conservatives. but that's the real, the real disgrace of this point to let these a psychopath . you know these a psychopath. you know we'll always get them and of course she was able to get away with those murders and many with those murders and so many lives been we lives could have been saved. we mustn't mustn't mustn't cover it up. mustn't cover thing. it cover up this thing. it needs a whole change in this way. whole sea change in this way. this organisation is structured i >> absolutely. anyway, coming up , we've got more from the papers next. the times has just arrived with another disturbing lucy headley headline . we'll let headley headline. we'll let we'll bring that to you next. plus, tonight's headline, heroes and back heroes. see you in a couple of minutes
10:45 pm
10:46 pm
10:47 pm
cool. and still with me, our journalist and broadcaster , journalist and broadcaster, linda double gb news, senior political commentator nigel nelson, and leadership coach speaker and social commentator adrian hayes. we've got the sun here. it's leading with the lionesses there. says we still think the world of you , so think the world of you, so that's nice. that's a nice
10:48 pm
sentiment. there's a nice picture of them cuddling there . picture of them cuddling there. the times has the more disturbing news that really took my breath away. let the police fear that she attacked 30 more babies . so fear that she attacked 30 more babies. so the killer is facing already facing a whole life sentence. but there's obviously going to be further investigation and enquiries as to how many more babies she could have. she could have killed , which is horrific. killed, which is horrific. police are reviewing all 4000 admissions to neonatal units at the countess of chester . i admissions to neonatal units at the countess of chester. i mean, i guess people wouldn't expect you wouldn't expect a nurse to do this , this kind of thing. is do this, this kind of thing. is thatis do this, this kind of thing. is that is it possibly just the mind blowing ? mind blowing? >> but most assumption that mind blowing . but but i say this to blowing. but but i say this to some people i've covered a lot of court cases and a lot of really bad murder stories. yeah. and everyone thinks that it's so horrific when where were are
10:49 pm
concerned? when a scoutmaster does this or a choir master does that. does this or a choir master does that . but i does this or a choir master does that. but i say to does this or a choir master does that . but i say to people does this or a choir master does that. but i say to people and the police will tell you this, i've spoken to very senior police, they go to where the target is. so you look at the child protection policies at disneyland or disney world or wherever you'll find they are absolutely diligent in preventing any kind of predator from getting to children. now, if you wanted to kill babies, and we assume that because lucy letby is diagnosed informally, i guess as a psychopath. yeah. and she wants to kill babies where does she go in order to do that ? >> 7- >> so the ? >> so the access to the 7 >> so the access to the babies and obviously she's left alone with sole access to these to these these babies. and they're very vulnerable . and some of very vulnerable. and some of them, because it's a some of them, because it's a some of them are pre prenatal births . so them are pre prenatal births. so i guess they're not all expected to survive. so it gives gives her plausible deniability. so
10:50 pm
yeah , exactly. she's got the yeah, exactly. she's got the perfect the perfect well, i think she can do this in the end. >> i think that neonatal units don't have a catastrophic death rate . they have very, very frail rate. they have very, very frail babies, but they save an awful lot. yeah. yeah. and it was the consultant paediatricians , consultant paediatricians, including the head of that unit that blew the whistle first that exposed it all because he saw that the number wasn't what it should be in that neonatal unit. it was twice what it should be. >> well, this is what shocked me because i mean, data surely a hospital manages data , looks at hospital manages data, looks at data, and if you've got sudden spike or a sudden aberration in the number of babies or whoever is with harold shipman's case, you know, old age pensioners, that are dying, that's surely going to raise alarm. >> yeah , the exactly. >> yeah, the exactly. >> yeah, the exactly. >> the consultants did that. that's why the independent inquiry has got to get moving really quickly to find out why this data didn't go outside the hospital. trust. i mean , there hospital. trust. i mean, there must be some sort of national
10:51 pm
reporting to say to throw this kind of anomaly up. >> well, they said why in a quote, they said, why? they said that the management team did not want this to go to another agency, i.e. the police, because they did not want to disrupt the workings of the neonatal unit and they did not want to harm the reputation of the hospital. >> well, i i'm looking forward to seeing what the inquiry finds out from that. >> but it's time now for the headune >> but it's time now for the headline heroes and back page zeros lender. who's your hero ? zeros lender. who's your hero? >> sarina wiegman , i think has >> sarina wiegman, i think has to be the hero. and people will say, well, why is that? who's that ? the captain the english woman's. >> all right. manager >> all right. manager >> coach , coach, the coach. >> coach, coach, the coach. >> sorry. when you said that, i thought it's the coach and people will say, you know, why ? people will say, you know, why? because. because we didn't win. but i think the coaches job now is a important and much more vital now because she has to keep the momentum going in very
10:52 pm
difficult circumstances. and this is a young team. they can make a huge amount of progress in four years and four years is nothing. but it's her to job keep everyone's nose to the grindstone. >> nigel, who's europe and serena to just simply forget for not just what she's done for women's football , but what she's women's football, but what she's done for english football. >> i mean , we've had the best >> i mean, we've had the best result for almost 60 years. yeah, that's quite right, adrian. >> i would have gone for serena as well. i thought there was something different. now i've gone lyneham , you gone for graham lyneham, you know, the edinburgh fringe festival cancelling but festival cancelling him, but he's , he stood up why i like he's, he stood up and why i like it with lionel. he's a man of the left. yeah. and this is, and this what we need people this is what we need more people from left this cancel from the left to say this cancel culture. the woke , the culture. the woke, the progressive, everything that's going on is not a left wing thing. it's against everyone. we should all be standing up for it. and done and he's it. and he's done it. and he's right. we see we right. and in fact, we see we see left almost see people in the left almost getting worse by the getting treated worse by the cancelling getting treated worse by the can so ling getting treated worse by the can so jkg getting treated worse by the canso jk rowling, for example,
10:53 pm
>> so jk rowling, for example, in graham linehan , they're both in graham linehan, they're both the epitome the perfect the epitome of the perfect leftie a few years ago. but then because have a differing because they have a differing view on safe spaces for women and transitioning children, all of sudden the signs have of a sudden the signs have shifted underneath them and they've pariahs and they've become pariahs and become moving to on become witches. but moving to on the page zeros. linda, who the back page zeros. linda, who have you got? the back page zeros. linda, who havwell, got? the back page zeros. linda, who havwell, i|ot? the back page zeros. linda, who havwell, i think i've already >> well, i think i've already touched regard the touched upon it and i regard the zero as being the senior management team, the countess of chester the reasons chester hospital for the reasons for all the reasons i outlined in that at the end of the day, the biggest , in that at the end of the day, the biggest, biggest reputational risk was to not investigate the fact that they had been told by senior clinicians there was a baby killer on the ward that was and then punished them and then made them apologise to lucy. >> it seems like a criminal level of failure. nigel, who's your oh , it's prince william for your oh, it's prince william for not going to australia . not going to australia. >> really? >> oh, really? >> oh, really? >> the basis that if we have >> on the basis that if we have to wait another 57 years get to wait another 57 years to get into a world cup final, he's going to be 98 by the time he
10:54 pm
gets his next chance to go. >> so you don't you don't care about emissions. you about the carbon emissions. you know, there. know, i don't live there. >> okay. know, i don't live there. >> not y. know, i don't live there. >> not in this case. >> not in this case. >> adrian, have you gone well, we've mentioned that we've mentioned a few times that most programs sadiq most of the programs sadiq khan's pages are right. khan's my back pages are right. i think sadiq is going to win the award for most zeros of the award for the most zeros of anyone whole because anyone in the whole year because everyone does nominates everyone someone does nominates him but no , look, him every week. but no, look, this i said right at the this as i said right at the beginning, labour beginning, this is not labour versus this is versus conservative. this is about best person. i think about the best person. i think he's i think he's got too much power. i think we've power with we've got too much power with the he a more the mayor's. but he a more competent man. he's be in this place. but all he's done, the white family, the ula, everything is just drive me around the bend. yeah. >> and it seems to be causing a rift him and the rest of rift between him and the rest of the party as well. so the labour party as well. so keir starmer isn't a fan of ulez. the custom by—election ulez. the custom the by—election in uxbridge. anyway, thanks for watching tonight . stay tuned for watching tonight. stay tuned for headliners coming up headliners which is coming up after break. and they were after the break. and they were going run through going to run through tomorrow's newspapers detail newspapers in a bit more detail with goodbye with three comedians. goodbye >> the temperatures rising, boxed solo, proud sponsors of
