9:02 pm
channel. well, i'm in a particularly chipper mood today because after months of saying rishi sunak , sunak has to do rishi sunak, sunak has to do something to try and win the next election has to do something to stop this deranged march to net zero as we come on air tonight, it turns out the prime minister has listened . so prime minister has listened. so in a dramatic statement which is going to divide the conservative party. but i think gives him a good chance versus the green zealots in labour at the next election . sunak has announced we election. sunak has announced we are committed to net zero by 2050. he's not. and the agreements we have made internationally he's not. but he says they want to do so in a better and more proportionate way. so sunak goes on to say, our politics must again put the long term interests of our country before the short term political needs of the moment . political needs of the moment. i'll be giving a speech this week out important week to set out an important long term decision we need to make our country becomes the make so our country becomes the place. i know all want it to place. i know we all want it to be for our children and specifically , these are the key
9:03 pm
specifically, these are the key specifics he says. in other words , yes, petrol and diesel words, yes, petrol and diesel cars will not be phased out in 2030, but in 2035. that brings us in line with the eu. he also says the replacement of gas boilers will be delayed . so this boilers will be delayed. so this is going to cause a monumental political row. but the reason that i'm happy because, you know, i haven't been completely impressed with sunak's approach to of his pledges, but what to many of his pledges, but what this is provide some this does now is provide some clear blue water between the choice that we're going to have at the next election, because , at the next election, because, mark my words, labour are going to take us down a path of green zealotry that will cost the working class dearly . and working class dearly. and finally, the conservatives are especially in the red wall that hates zero, can say, look, we have policies that are not to going hit your pocketbook. so this is really fascinating news. nigel farage will be to here analyse it very shortly. but first, latest headlines with first, the latest headlines with polly middlehurst out .

9:08 pm
having a very political discussion with macron. did macron ? macron? >> did president macron tell you he'd be willing to renegotiate a brexit deal with the uk? >> look, we covered a wide range of issues and we did focus in particular on that relationship between our two countries. >> what do you think that's realistic? is that not just wishful thinking? how are you different? >> look, i'm very clear that this was a positive and constructive meeting. as i expected , as you would expect , expected, as you would expect, while both uk government and eu officials have joined together and brandon starmer, did fusional their words, i agree though, for believing he can renegotiate the brexit deal while remaining outside the single market and customs union. >> i actually think that's the issue . starmer wants us inside issue. starmer wants us inside the single market and inside the customs union. i mean, i will never forget he was the man who campaigned so hard to overturn the biggest democratic mandate in british history. to see us

9:10 pm
forever for a european diplomatic source confirmed to the paper. the plan was designed with labour in mind, adding chillingly , it is carefully chillingly, it is carefully balanced politically to be a potential place for britain without the need to ever rejoin the eu or to hold a referendum . the eu or to hold a referendum. anyone who believes starmer's promise that he is going to respect the brexit vote hasn't considered his slippery persona even once. when it comes to fragrant political flip flops. i stake my reputation on the fact that starmer as prime minister, especially if he's propped up by the pro eu snp , lib dems and the pro eu snp, lib dems and greens, will guarantee a brexit betrayal and that cannot be allowed to happen. but to respond now my superstar panel, the journalist and political commentator suzanne evans , and commentator suzanne evans, and the conservative commentator calvin robinson, and the author and broadcaster rebecca reed . so and broadcaster rebecca reed. so calvin robertson look, i actually think today has been . actually think today has been. an especially in the past ten minutes, it's become one of the

9:13 pm
labour seats back that he lost to the conservative and i'd be very interested. >> i can't wait hear rishi >> i can't wait to hear rishi sunak speech on zero this sunak speech on net zero this week. sunak speech on net zero this weelet's see what he has to say. >> let's see what he has to say. i agree with calvin. five years is nothing ban petrol is nothing ban on petrol and diesel know all this diesel cars. you know all this kind of taxation that we're facing petrol diesel, the facing on petrol and diesel, the threats you don't need. i'm with you. >> i'm with you and we will talk about it later. i'm with you personally, he'd personally, ali. i wish he'd scrapped target scrapped the 2050 target altogether. know that. but altogether. you know that. but i am going to celebrate good news when we get it. okay. >> it's also a pledge. it's not a policy. it's a pledge. >> no, but let's see. >> no, but let's see. >> take pinch of salt. >> take with a pinch of salt. >> take with a pinch of salt. >> we've got to make sure >> and we've got to make sure that does before the next that he does it before the next election. rebecca reid i think what's really fascinating to me, though, ft though, is looking at this ft interview with starmer this interview with with starmer this week where started invoking week where he started invoking the language of the ultimate remoaners again, you know, he said he said , i owe it to my said he said, i owe it to my children for us to have a closer relationship to the eu. i mean, thatis relationship to the eu. i mean, that is zealotry that is zealotry. he believes this to
9:14 pm
his core. so i hear what calvin and susanna are saying, but i think he believes he's going to have two terms. and i think by the end of the second term we could be back in the eu. i honestly do. >> i don't think that's what's going to happen at all. >> that everybody else >> i think that everybody else is there are enough is right. there are enough labour voters who wanted to leave. is it gets very leave. this is it gets very ganged gets but because ganged up, it gets but because because what's because it gets what's going on here. if all three of us agree on something, we're probably right. been right. statistically, it's been made left right issue, made into a left right issue, but really left right but it's not really a left right issue. brexit. plenty issue. brexit. there are plenty of both who feel of people on both sides who feel different think he's different ways and i think he's doing thing always doing the same thing he always does. to nothing does. he's trying to say nothing and say as little as possible, so doesn't anybody so that doesn't make anybody cross. is cross. but the problem here is brexit isn't working terribly well. agrees whether well. everybody agrees whether you apathetic. you want to. i was apathetic. leave remain , whatever. we're leave remain, whatever. we're all agreeing because we have all agreeing. brexit, but agreeing. it's brexit, okay, but it's therefore it's not working. so therefore diplomacy conversation diplomacy and a conversation with has to be. it hasn't with france has to be. it hasn't worked well. read the frost worked well. read the lord frost column the daily telegraph. >> you know, actually, there are a lot of green shoots. sure. >> absolutely. shoots. >> absolutely. green shoots. lovely. that's what we wanted. that's exactly what we were

cancellation continues as the under—fire star has now had his lucrative youtube channel, demonetised , by the website's demonetised, by the website's owner, google . it means brand, owner, google. it means brand, who has yet to be found guilty of any alleged historical sex allegations, will no longer earn allegations, will no longer earn a reported £1 million a year from publishing videos to his 6.6 million subscribers as. a creator's off platform . creator's off platform. behaviour harms our users , behaviour harms our users, employees or ecosystem . we take employees or ecosystem. we take action to protect the community. we this decision applies to all channels that may be owned or operated by russell brand. it comes as the bbc today started removing shows which feature brand from its iplayer site. but what do you think? as he's yet to be found guilty of any crime is it wrong that russell brand has been banned from monetising his youtube videos down at gbnews.com vote? in our poll at gbnews.com vote? in our poll at gb news on twitter. but debating this , the social commentator this now, the social commentator leilani dodi and the writer and broadcaster anna mae mangan . broadcaster anna mae mangan. leilani, you're angry about this
9:22 pm
decision , aren't you? decision, aren't you? >> you know, that shouldn't be trial by media. it's completely wrong. not only has he got no allegations , these allegations , allegations, these allegations, he's not been charged . there's he's not been charged. there's really bad feedback . and not really bad feedback. and not only is he not not only is he not being charged with anything , so i can't sorry , leilani. , so i can't sorry, leilani. >>— , so i can't sorry, leilani. >> sorry, leilani. we'll try and sort your sound out. we'll come to anime manga and so. so leilani sorry. anime leilani's point is that he hasn't been charged with any crime. >> no, i know that. >> no, i know that. >> but it's not like a bloke down the pub is saying that he has done these things and it's a crack team of journalists who have managed to uncover all these allegations from the sunday times channel 4 and then people are coming forward now to corroborate them and it's a cue for the police to get involved. >> and so, yes, he hasn't been charged with anything yet. but look , this is how harvey look, this is how harvey weinstein and gary glitter and
9:23 pm
who else or all these guys got caught out by allegations in the first place that were followed up. so what's wrong with it? and also, if he was a decent guy , he also, if he was a decent guy, he just stepped down himself while this was being investigated rather than fighting for his carry on as normal because things are far from normal. >> so leilani , it doesn't sound >> so leilani, it doesn't sound like anime. manga believes in due well this is the due process. well this is the thing. >> this is a trial by media and we're already on a very slippery slope, as he had no slope, right? only as he had no , he's not been found guilty of anything. there are no charges against him. so it's for not us. it's not for youtube to be the judge and jury. it's not for them to say you cannot any longer provide for your family. if people want to turn youtube off and not watch him and not go on his page, then that's up to them. but they're not actually even taking his video down. they're just saying you can have your up, but you can't your videos up, but you can't get any money from it. right? so he provide for family
9:24 pm
he can't provide for his family when he's being found guilty when he's not being found guilty . was an actor who . now, there was an actor who had sexual allegations made against him two years ago. he's now suing the guardian and because there never were any charges brought, there was no evidence . look, benjamin mendy, evidence. look, benjamin mendy, no clark and the case of noel clark, by the way, is absolute disgraceful. >> what he was put through. he lost all of his work and it hasn't come back and anime, the type of society that you want to be a part of seems to be guilty before being found innocent . before being found innocent. >> not at all. i'm not a supporter of this guy. i think his willy, willy, willy humour isn't funny at all. i think what he did to andrew sachs was granddaughter. >> understand? that's not the point. >> it's a lot about him . but >> it's a lot about him. but that isn't what this is about. this is about. this is about a really good long investigation that's thrown up a series of accusations about a guy. the worst one, i think that i've heard is that he brought 60 year
9:25 pm
old girl home in a bbc car to his house after school. was he helping her with her homework? i mean, what was that about? so that alone to me rings massive alarm bells. so he should do the respectable thing . stand back. respectable thing. stand back. let all this be investigated by the police. i'm not saying trial by media, but how would it come out otherwise? he was never been given a trial by media, isn't it ? >> well, 7_ >> well, was ? >> well, was he ever 7 >> well, was he ever going to trial by media? so here's the thing. look at benjamin mendy. look at benjamin mendy the footballer. he had charges , the footballer. he had charges, the footballer. he had charges, the footballer. he had charges brought against him. he lost his job. he went to jail for several months and he found months and he was found innocent. there's no repercussions for these women . repercussions for these women. so i'm not saying that russell's innocent. i'm not saying that russell is guilty , but i'm russell is guilty, but i'm saying we shouldn't be saying that we shouldn't be jumping the gun and stopping them from being to work. them from being able to work. i don't trust the mainstream media. you know, you have to lose to lisa being set up at the peak of her fame and success by
9:26 pm
the fake sheikh, you know, who went to this whole man who set her up as supplying drugs to the mainstream . media mainstream. media >> i don't recover anime . people >> i don't recover anime. people don't recover. >> don't know what you do for a living, but if you had a shop or a restaurant and he was your front man, you wouldn't allow him to work. while this is going on. i wouldn't allow him to work . not that he's guilty. >> so , so, so what you'd want >> so, so, so what you'd want you'd want completely innocent you'd want a completely innocent man. want a completely man. you'd want a completely innocent been innocent man who hadn't been found guilty of any crime . to found guilty of any crime. to lose job, to lose the lose his job, to lose the ability to provide for his family. honestly anna mae is sick. no, no. >> i think people should. if there's this much this many and this many people and this detailed and investigation throwing this out, then he has to respect it. >> that's fine. that's fine. so you believe in trial by media? that's absolutely fine. that is a position to take. well, you know, you do. >> it's not true because that's
9:27 pm
literally what you've just said , because there has been no criminal investigation whatsoever. >> somebody women are now justified to go to the police and the police will take it from here. >> how did harvey find. >> how did harvey find. >> final word, leilani. leilani, final dispatches channel 4 and >> when dispatches channel 4 and the times do an investigation on who ghislaine maxwell bell was convicted of trafficking minors to, then i'll take the media mainstream and the time and everything else that i'm keeping without a licence i'm not okay. social commentator leilani dowding, the writer and broadcaster anna mae mangan. >> thank you both so much. but who do you agree with on this as he's yet to be found guilty of any crime? is it wrong that russell brand has been banned from monetising his youtube video? writes, video? sean on twitter writes, it's russell brand has it's so wrong. russell brand has not or found not even been charged or found guilty trial media is guilty at this trial by media is wrong not lawful. while wrong and not lawful. while megan evidence from megan writes the evidence from many abused women is many scared and abused women is so strong and so moving . but as so strong and so moving. but as much as these women deserve
9:28 pm

9:35 pm
rowing back on the government's deranged march to not zero. admitting that successive governments have not been honest about the costs and trade offs of going green. promising details later this week, the pm is expected to say the ban on petrol and diesel cars will be pushed back five years to 2035, in line with the eu . and in in line with the eu. and in a major statement tonight, sunak added we are committed to net zero by 2050 and the agreements we have made internationally , we have made internationally, but doing so in a better, more proportional way. our politics must again put the long term interests of our country before the term political needs the short term political needs of the moment. he's also delayed and the boiler ban, the gas boiler ban. so nigel, look, i know that you and i would rather see the net zero target go altogether because there's no way we can do it by 2050. and there's no way that we need to. however, nigel, some credit where it's due. this is a good move by sunak, isn't it? tonight >> oh, absolutely . no question
9:36 pm
>> oh, absolutely. no question about it . i >> oh, absolutely. no question about it. i mean he's, he's really turning his back in a way . oh >> oh, we can hear you, nigel. sorry >> have you got me? >> have you got me? >> we've got you loud and clear. keep going. yeah >> no, absolutely. this is a good common sense move. and i must say it does make liz truss look very influential . well, i look very influential. well, i mean, there she was on monday morning saying these are two things that we ought to do . and things that we ought to do. and she pointed out there's a problem that 150 tory mps don't necessarily want to do it, but no , sunak is doing the right no, sunak is doing the right thing here, no question about it, because nigel, this will cause a civil war within the parliamentary party. >> i mean, we know conservative members will love it. the red wall will love it. but amongst mps , nigel, you know, the tory mps, nigel, you know, the tory wets are all for net zero. actually lots of them actually want it to be toughened up . want it to be toughened up. >> yes, i mean, david cameron ten years ago said vote blue, go
9:37 pm
green and finished up with a candidates list full of people who really ought to be standing for the green party. you know, more than standing for the conservatives i mean, no country in the western world has reduced their carbon dioxide output more than we have. and we've done it by de—industrializing . we've by de—industrializing. we've doneit by de—industrializing. we've done it by taxing the poor. we've done it by pursuing a wind energy strategy , which means we energy strategy, which means we have to import electricity from france, belgium and norway . i france, belgium and norway. i mean, the whole thing has been insane. but no, dan, i'm with you. credit where it's due. the reaction action from the labour party will be fascinating and the reaction from boris johnson, fascinating , too. fascinating, too. >> well, yes, of course , >> well, yes, of course, because, you know, we have to provide both sides of the story here on gb news nigel. and we may not support net zero, but the inter—government intl panel on climate change stated in 2018 that the world needs to reach net zero by around 2050 is net zero by around 2050 if it is to meet paris agreement to meet the paris agreement target of global target of limiting global
9:38 pm
warming . 1.5 c. deus target of limiting global warming .1.5 c. deus but warming to. 1.5 c. deus but moving on, nigel, europe's illegal migration crisis is descending into total chaos , descending into total chaos, with the italian island of lampedusa being over run with illegals travelling from africa as 8500 thousand arrived in just three days last week, dwarfing the tiny island's population of just 6000. prime minister giorgia melonis government has raised concerns that russia's mercenary wagner group could be orchestrating the huge surge in crossings from africa. nigel the journalist isabel oakeshott, has warned of hybrid war. they're creeping into europe. do you think that's what's going on? >> i don't know whether this is true or not. what i do know is that what happened at lampedusa can only be described as an organised invasion . 200 boats in organised invasion. 200 boats in the space of a few short days. you know that can't be organised by disparate gangs of traffickers. something bigger is at play. but the real problem
9:39 pm
here is and i stood up in 2015 down and warned them , if you down and warned them, if you implement this eu asylum policy that says that anyone that crosses the med can stay, i said countless millions will come and you know , half of the chamber by you know, half of the chamber by booed, half of them examined their toe caps in embarrassment . do you know how many have come since then ? 4.7 million. 4.7 since then? 4.7 million. 4.7 million have already come in. about 27,000 have drowned in the mediterranean in the course of doing it. and now we're witnessing wave two and wave two will all unless they get tough on this and do a tony abbott and send the boats back and it's odd because they do have a returns agreement with tunisia, so why the hell they're not implementing don't know . implementing it? i don't know. this politically destroy this politically will destroy the european union, socially and culturally . god knows what culturally. god knows what damage it will do. and the biggest mystery of all is why
9:40 pm
has giorgia meloni, why has she gone soft? why was she begging ursula von der leyan for help as opposed to saying as the italian prime minister, i'm going to deal with this? and that's so disappointing because we had such high hopes, high hopes, but look back on british shores. >> nigel, a definition of islamophobia rejected islamophobia that was rejected by the government has now been adopted by 1 7 councils in adopted by 1 in 7 councils in england , despite fears it could england, despite fears it could go too far and pose a risk to free speech. now that's because, nigel it defines islamophobia as any targets , any language that targets, quote, expressions of muslimness or perceived muslimness . so, or perceived muslimness. so, nigel, what do you think should take priority here? protection of religion or freedom of speech ? >> well, 7 >> well, there's no question that freedom of speech should be prioritised , but i would like to prioritised, but i would like to see a bit more defence of christianity because it seems that, you know, i mean, all right, i might take the mickey out of the archbishop of canterbury and i think that's pretty game i do that pretty fair game that i do that . but where is the defence of
9:41 pm
christian culture? where is the recognition that the king is the leader of the church, the head of our church, that we have a full christian constitution and we can be tolerant of all and we're actually rather good at it , certainly compared to our european neighbours . but i just european neighbours. but i just think many of these local councils have got their priorities completely and utterly wrong . perhaps here's utterly wrong. perhaps here's another area where rishi sunak could stand up and say the right thing. >> indeed, both sides of the story, though. a spokesman for the muslim council of britain said the definition has widespread support and been widespread support and has been adopted most national adopted by most national political outside the political parties outside the conservative , which conservative party, which is once mired accusations once again mired in accusations of institutional islam phobia. and nigel, look, the financial conduct authority has announced that they have found no evidence of politicians being tide bank due to their political views . due to their political views. what the hell, nigel? you presented evidence directly to the contrary after your cancellation by coots i mean , i
9:42 pm
cancellation by coots i mean, i didn't know whether to laugh or cry. >> looking at the front page of the of the financial times this morning to say that nobody has been debunked and i can give you a list as long as your arm of people have been de—banking including royston smith that rather gallant member of parliament for southampton itchen , who's been given itchen, who's been given a terrible time by tsb, the fca is not fit for purpose . house not fit for purpose. house financial services used to be the jewel in the crown of the british economy and they're failing the london stock exchange is failing our international reputation for being a good place to do business and do banking is failing, and the treasury need to act. they have got the power to act. they have got the power to get rid of these politicised idiots running the fca and to put some proper people in charge and up until now i must say that jeremy hunt and the city minister, andrew griffith , have minister, andrew griffith, have been enormously supportive of all the things that i've said
9:43 pm
and try to campaign for the response today against the fca was that of a wet lettuce. i would say to the government, step up, get rid of these let's get somebody decent in. >> well, look, nigel, you know, i'm with you, but i will tell you what, one of those politicise idiots said today. just to be fair , fair and just to be fair, fair and balanced. always. fca chief executive nikhil rathi commented while no bank building, society or payment firm reported to us that they had closed accounts primarily due someone's primarily due to someone's political , further political views, further work is needed for us to be sure, and it certainly is. it certainly is, nigel farage, thank you so much , nigel. back 7 pm. tomorrow night here on gb news. but coming up, our migrant hotel bill rockets to £8 million a day while people trafficking gangs slashed the price of channel crossings thanks to sunak's crackdown on albanians. so is this proof the pm's approach is working and are rwandan style deportation policies the only way to end the crisis ? my way to end the crisis? my superstar panel debate shortly. but first, how have the russell
9:44 pm
brand claims gone down across the pond? us media superstar meghan gives her take on meghan kelly gives her take on the allegations with a passionate that seen her go passionate plea that seen her go viral. she lays out her position live
9:45 pm
9:46 pm
9:47 pm
next time now for us media superstar meghan kelly and russell brand's cancellation over historical sex assault claims has seen an important clip of margaret thatcher go viral, where she warns about the inherent dangers of trial by media. >> a court of law is the place where you deal with these matters if you ever get trial by television or guilt by accusation on that day , freedom accusation on that day, freedom dies as brand, of course, has not yet been found guilty of any crimes . crimes. >> but the bbc has already started removing his content
9:48 pm
from its iplayer service . from its iplayer service. youtube, meanwhile, has demonetise his online videos depriving him of a reported £101 million a year in ad revenue. you say, meghan, look, this has been a highly divisive issue on both sides of the atlantic . you both sides of the atlantic. you think it's important not to condemn either the accusers or brand until due process has taken place ? taken place? >> correct? i have no desire to see russell brand's life dismantled and his ability to earn a living taken away from him based on allegations that are ten years old, that have not been invested by a court of law or any legal officer or in any legal proceeding. you know, not to anything away from these to take anything away from these reporters think reporters, but i think that there be higher there should be a higher standard before a man's standard before we take a man's living however however, we living away. however however, we cannot from the absurdity of cannot go from the absurdity of believe all women, which was never the right way into the absurdity of believe no women . absurdity of believe no women. and that's what we're now doing . and so people need to take a
9:49 pm
pause before they resort to the knee jerk. he didn't do it because he's an alternative media voice. he didn't do it because he's on our side. and i hate to see conservatives who for the most part, dan, are supposed eschew celebrity supposed to eschew celebrity culture, act like lapdogs to russell brand just because he's winked at their side isn't the issue. >> meghan, the fact that actually there's been such a pile on without any form , um, of pile on without any form, um, of independent investigation, i mean, he's, he's had his show. i don't agree with that characterisation. he's been dropped by his publishing company and now on youtube say they can keep his videos up but he can't make any money from them. i disagree with the youtube move entirely. >> they should allow his fans to have access to him. this is the democratic can't say that word, but it's the democra c version of the internet . it like why of the internet. it like why youtube's virtue signalling with this his fans should have access
9:50 pm
to him and he should not be depnved to him and he should not be deprived of his ability to make a living. however it is not correct to that been correct to say that there's been no independent investigation of this. , these this. these people, these three news are not on news organisations are not on the take. one of them, two of them have to essentially investigate themselves as a result this because were result of this because they were employing for part of the employing him for part of the time. they have no incentive really the fact that he really to out the fact that he was of these was doing some of these allegedly bad things while working them. you know working for them. do you know how much effort, dan, it takes for this kind of reporting, the number of reporters that on number of reporters that are on this the years long this and the years long investigation an investigation to convince an alleged victim to hand over her rape crisis centre documents and therapy notes and get the doctors to talk to you and get the text messages. i've covered these stories. it takes a lot. now that doesn't mean everyone has condemn brand and has to condemn russell brand and decide that they're true. decide that they're 100% true. you the rape allegation, you know, the rape allegation, which is one of the most serious, is if you if you drill down on the message down on the text message exchange between this woman and russell, away russell, you could walk away concluding that what she was angry about was they had angry about was that they had sex condom, not rape. sex without a condom, not rape. as we truly understand that
9:51 pm
word, she says it was rape and she went to the race rape crisis centre the next day. and as a very charged , angry exchange very charged, angry exchange with russell on the text. but i would not say that there's no evidence. i would just say there's enough to be there's enough for us to be suspicious he did and we suspicious of what he did and we should wait. look, we've seen trial by media fail time after time. take take a look at the michael jackson quote documentary , which was nothing documentary, which was nothing of finding neverland . of the kind. finding neverland. it hbo. and guess what? it went on hbo. and guess what? we if you took one minute we saw? if you took one minute to dig, found that one to dig, you found out that one of main accusers in that had of the main accusers in that had lied under oath in a civil litigation against michael jackson about writing a book about him and only got caught when michael jackson's estate lawyers went to all the publishing houses and found the draft document, the draft book that had been submitted by this guy ' that had been submitted by this guy , he lied when asked by the guy, he lied when asked by the michael jackson lawyers, did you ever submit no, never. ever submit a book? no, never. you about that, did you never heard about that, did you? the media's you? because the media's wouldn't wouldn't report on that. just wanted to that. they just wanted to
9:52 pm
condemn jackson . condemn michael jackson. >> think that's a really >> and i think that's a really good example problem. and good example problem. yeah. and i that documentary is a i think that documentary is a really example , meghan, really good example, meghan, because was completely because i was completely snookered by it . i was taken in, snookered by it. i was taken in, itook snookered by it. i was taken in, i took it on face value and i have huge regrets about that now. meghan and so all i'm concerned about is that was channel 4. this is channel 4, or in this case, the accusers. i think it's important that we don't describe them as victims or survivors because at this point they are accusers is the right word and they are anonymous. meghan from what we're told, channel 4 also didn't provide the names of the accusers to russell brand . i accusers to russell brand. i agree with you, but let's not knows is terrible . of course knows is terrible. of course it's terrible . but i think there it's terrible. but i think there needs to be a process . and it's needs to be a process. and it's fascinating hearing thatcher, actually, because she's right , actually, because she's right, isn't she? she's she's right. it's a very dangerous society. when the media is the judge, jury when the media is the judge, jury and executioner . jury and executioner. >> trial by media does not work. but i'm just going to say this.
9:53 pm
okay and look, i am very open minded to proof that he didn't do any of this, as i've just demonstrated michael demonstrated with my michael jackson allen jackson and woody allen controversial statements. okay um, don't i don't really care um, i don't i don't really care if it if it turns out that the rape charge or the sexual assault charges fall apart . assault charges fall apart. you're 31 years old and you have sex allegedly over a three month penod sex allegedly over a three month period with a 16 year old, we're done. okay. i'm unsubscribing . done. okay. i'm unsubscribing. all right. and i am sick of conservatives online trying to defend that as though she had a role in it. she was a minor, just because you can't be prosecuted for it doesn't mean it's right. the concern of men i know are lovely . they're know are lovely. they're ethical, they're honourable . ethical, they're honourable. it's not to say they've never fallen down in their lives, but in no world would they be taking advantage of a 16 year old minor. i have a daughter who's four years away from that. you come anywhere near her as a 31 year old man and we are going to have a serious problem. and it's not to be over you not going to be over whether you get sized on youtube. get demonetise sized on youtube. i really friends the i really hope my friends and the
9:54 pm
conservative of the aisle conservative side of the aisle would rememberjust because would remember just because we're over metoo and it was we're all over metoo and it was an overreaction and it went too far it got politicised. far and it got politicised. doesn't mean that we have to knee jerk defend every scumbag who gets of bad behaviour. >> no, indeed it is a very nuanced argument and thank you for bringing that nuance to it because unfortunately we as you say, it's been missing in a lot of the coverage , i would say, on of the coverage, i would say, on on both sides of it. so meghan kelly, thank you so much. there's much more of this, by the way, meghan on the the way, from meghan on the brilliant kelly show, brilliant meghan kelly show, which find youtube which you can find on youtube and a podcast. you, and as a podcast. thank you, meghan. week. meghan. we'll speak next week. but one man knows but coming up, one man who knows what be cancelled what it's like to be cancelled off back of historic off the back of historic allegations. former allegations. as former conservative proctor , conservative mp harvey proctor, he received nearly £1 million compensation from the met police over their bungled operation. midland investigation. and he's got a stark warning about letting due process take its course. he's live shortly. but next in the mediabuzz rishi sunak makes his boldest bid yet to salvage the next general election by sensationally

people. and i think the idea that this is a kind of go woke, go thing, about go broke thing, we talk about bud the time, we bud light all the time, but we looked costa and looked at the costa advert and costa no negative costa saw no negative repercussions , various different repercussions, various different women's product brands women's menstrual product brands have gender neutral, have have gone gender neutral, have had no massive fallout . so had no massive fallout. so actually, it is the it's the exception rather than the rule for light to lose of for bud light to lose a lot of money calvin what's money for it. calvin what's interesting here, though, is what actually trying to do. >> they're trying to virtue signal than signal aren't they, rather than market product . market their their product. because let's just because in reality, let's just be about it braun are . be honest about it braun are. not selling 99.9999999% of their product to trans man no they are saying they're selling it to men. biological men. yeah >> well, the whole purpose of this is the esg scores. it's the environmental , social this is the esg scores. it's the environmental, social and governmental criteria . so they governmental criteria. so they make money, investors invest in them. if they if they do environmental projects, if they do social projects such as trans queer , critical race theory, if queer, critical race theory, if they envelop these neo—marxist ideas into their products, they actually get more money from investors . so it's not investors. so it's not necessarily about reaching a new
10:36 pm
audience . it's, you know, sorry audience. it's, you know, sorry , do you not think also but to me, if i trying to get eyes me, if i were trying to get eyes on and if were the on my brand and if i were the lesser shaving brand , i lesser known shaving brand, i would observed how often would have observed how often people like people have discussions like this television and gone, this on television and gone, well, we take a trans person, well, if we take a trans person, they'll be around. >> cynical to look. >> that's a cynical way to look. >> that's a cynical way to look. >> sorry. i think >> no, i'm sorry. i think i think said more think we've said braun more on television evening television this evening than most have. television this evening than mo look have. television this evening than mo look it. have. >> look at it. >> look at it. >> but for example, i think gillette will never regain. >> the of across. >> they have recovered like market have recovered. >> think morally, the way >> i just think morally, the way people feel about that product >> i just think morally, the way pe0jneverl about that product >> i just think morally, the way pe0jneverl aboutsame3roduct >> i just think morally, the way pe0jneverl aboutsame again. will never be the same again. >> buy from >> i'm more likely to buy from gillette now, i men's gillette now, and i buy men's razors razors razors because women's razors are well, that's interesting >> well, that's interesting because don't because friends of mine don't buy gillette now. the only way i can going to can see gillette is going to benefit possibly if people benefit is possibly if people boycott braun and go back to gillette. but let's face it, i think congratulations to braun. you've that i'm no you've just proven that i'm no longer going to buy braun grooming anything longer going to buy braun groomin anybody anything longer going to buy braun groominanybody for anything longer going to buy braun groomin anybody for myself1g longer going to buy braun groomin anybody for myself or else for anybody for myself or for christmas. now, look , for christmas. now, look, brilliant black, black british history. >> i've got it here. this is a new children's book aimed at seven year olds by the nigerian

10:41 pm
harry. i wonder what's behind that. tom bower with his bower bombshells live in just two minutes time.
10:42 pm
10:43 pm
and it's time now for on cancelled and this is where britain's top commentators speak out on controversial issues without the fear of the cancel culture sweeping the rest of the media. and prince william will appear alongside hollywood a—listers tonight at a reception dunng a—listers tonight at a reception during trip . earlier during his us trip. earlier today, the prince hosted a bilateral meeting with the president ecuador and then president of ecuador and then unveiled his earthshot prize finalists in a gushing chat with the south american leader. he praised countries crucial praised the countries crucial and fantastic work battling climate change. had climate change. the prince had earlier reporters , i know earlier told reporters, i know our generation can take the bold action we to make changes action we need to make changes towards a healthy and sustainable came as sustainable world. it came as wills yesterday held a high level meeting with the un chief, antonio gutierrez, of
10:44 pm
antonio gutierrez, ahead of a climate summit tomorrow. the prince waded into the prince also waded into the hudson river as part of an oyster project which aims to clean up new york's waterways by 2035. so tom, i know you think william is doing a very good job and this tour has not had any of the disasters or the controversies that harry and meghan have had to deal with lately or to be frank, his and kate's caribbean tour last year. but i do just wonder if you think that there's any danger here about how far he's straying into the climate change path, given that, you know, you look at the big breaking news of the today of today, tom, and it's all about rishi sunak rowing back on net zero. you know, this is not a set topic despite what the establishment might like to think. well i think prince william has been very clever in avoiding controversy because what he's done is he's awarding pnzes what he's done is he's awarding prizes to people who've cultivated seaweed or produced tires that don't provide use
10:45 pm
molecules, which contaminate the atmosphere. >> so what he's really doing with this prize is praising people who are doing real things as opposed to guessing and being controversial . controversial. >> so he's not talking about for example, net zero. >> he's not talking about necessarily general and try and what he is doing is he's encouraging people who need encouragement. and i think it's remarkable that he is so popular in america as president biden said. yes. i mean, bloomberg said. yes. i mean, bloomberg said the mayor who introduced ex—mayor introduced him, he's the most popular person in america . now. america. now. >> they may have to have the king come but think it's king come back, but i think it's because does such because he does have such an honest and unaggressive manner and he's an attractive man. >> and the earthshot prize is a great idea and he's a very good for britain to be shown to be taking a lead in the things which are not controversial . i which are not controversial. i think the americans will warm to it. and of course, everyone warms to catherine and kate and that's great mistake not to take
10:46 pm
kate because it does feel like the trip i'm going to be honest, tom. >> very important event. and, you know, good causes is lacking a bit of glamour, isn't it? >> well , yes, a bit of glamour, isn't it? >> well, yes, but a bit of glamour, isn't it? >> well , yes, but they >> well, yes, but i think they quite rightly are putting their three children first. >> she does a lot of work. she was that strange headgear was put on that strange headgear the day or collar gear. the other day or collar gear. now >> and as you know, i was a minority. i thought it was right not to go to australia because i do think that they really have to bring up their children to be balanced , family, children, and balanced, family, children, and thatis balanced, family, children, and that is really more important than the sudden appearance somewhere. >> so i'm a great enthusiast for william and kate. i think they're doing a terrific job. and the earthshot prize is really something of great value to him and to britain and he's certainly going through a purple patch the moment, isn't he? patch at the moment, isn't he? >> his own . he >> he's come into his own. he feels confident and it doesn't look like i mean, it's remarkable when we think about it, tom, those allegations from harry, you know, of him being a bully and a physical abuser and all of those sorts of things
10:47 pm
haven't actually damaged him at all in the country. >> on the contrary, i think got a lot of sympathy. and i think he another good idea of he had another very good idea of using which got using some of the land which got a land. the duchy of a lot of land. the duchy of cornwall, try house the cornwall, to try and house the homeless. shows a very homeless. so it shows a very great social nod to his mother, princess diana , who remains very princess diana, who remains very popular in america. >> but look , royal controversy >> but look, royal controversy never far away , tom, because never far away, tom, because prince harry's 39th birthday was publicly ignored by the royal family. every single senior member of the royal family ever , every single social media page , that has never happened before. tom. so does that suggest that relations are at an all time low? well it suggests that they finally see reason finally, after all this time , finally, after all this time, they're going to ostracise and forget harry and meghan completely . completely. >> and i thought it was quite awful . awful. >> any of the media, a lot of the media coverage of their trip to dusseldorf because as i predicted last week , they've predicted last week, they've used the whole invictus games to
10:48 pm
promote themselves. >> none of the coverage actually was seeing a race by these veterans. >> well, apart from on this show , tom, i've got to be honest with you. >> the coverage has been 40 in absolutely fawning. >> the we're the only people who criticise them. >> well , criticise them. >> well, nothing. what's changed is bizarre . depher. is bizarre. depher. >> i can't i tried to find out myself. >> why nobody's actually criticising the sussexes for using the veterans to launch themselves . and we started last themselves. and we started last week with saying how appalling it was that she was using the family there and ignoring her own family . and the only own family. and the only yesterday her father, thomas, was very ill , says, yesterday her father, thomas, was very ill, says, you yesterday her father, thomas, was very ill , says, you know, was very ill, says, you know, he's desperate because his grandchildren, before he dies, he's convinced he's going to die any day. so the syrupy stuff of her visiting the german homeless in dusseldorf and then going back to her mansion in montecito, it's everything is so confection. everything is so false . and what's marvellous is false. and what's marvellous is that finally, finally the royal family have realised, seen the
10:49 pm
light and decided to ignore them completely , ostracise them, completely, ostracise them, don't give them any help, and i hope that next time they land in london they have to go through customs and immigration like the rest of us. >> that would nice, wouldn't >> that would be nice, wouldn't it? there is a theory that harry and starting work and meghan is starting to work with the british newspapers again despite that again, despite promising that they would never talk to those nasty tabloids. so maybe. maybe. >> well , i nasty tabloids. so maybe. maybe. >> well, i think i think there are one tabloid who gave them such gushing coverage this week. i can guess who the who i think we can guess who the who their best friend, new best friend will be. >> something is going on. >> something is going on. >> something is going on. >> something going on and >> something is going on and bauer across it. bauer will be across it. >> much. >> tom, thank you so much. >> tom, thank you so much. >> week . but >> we will speak next week. but it's tonight's it's time now for tonight's greatest britain and union jackass. greatest britain and union jackass . and my superstar panel jackass. and my superstar panel are back with me, revealing her nomination. first is suzanne evans for which one brit greatest, britain's greatest britain. >> okay. well, that'll be the record . 220,000 people who record. 220,000 people who signed the welsh government petition against blanket, 20

10:51 pm
of wales. this 20 mile per hour speed limit is a disgrace. and if we're not careful under a labour regime , it would be labour regime, it would be coming here across the uk. so we've got to fight this. >> so authoritarian, it's everywhere. it's insane. >> suzanne evans, your union jackass. >> now please see my union jackass is the financial conduct authority for asking the banks if they'd ever close someone's account for political reasons. and when the bank said no, okay, that's fine , then why do they that's fine, then why do they think the ceos of coutts and natwest resigned? i mean, honestly, it's a worse whitewashing job than the one i did on my tatty old kitchen units in the 1990s. >> total stitch up nigel farage was here earlier and utterly full about it as you would expect, because he worked so hard and now they've found nothing . calvin robinson your nothing. calvin robinson your union jackass nominee, the cathedral of hope . cathedral of hope. >> now, i don't know if we've got the clip done, but the devil is no longer hiding. he's in plain is a church plain sight. this is a church with a whole host trans with a whole host of trans people and drag queens at the
