9:04 pm
political cost ? can we be honest political cost? can we be honest when the facts change, even if it's awkward ? and can we put the it's awkward? and can we put the long term interests of our country before the short term political needs of the moment? even if it means being controversial ? controversial? >> well, that was at 430 this afternoon and pretty quickly the move ignited a significant backlash. more than 250 charities and businesses are now urging the government not to weaken green targets. shadow paymaster general jonathan ashworth says the prime minister's decision puts pressure on householders . pressure on householders. >> it reveals rishi sunak is very weak. he's being pushed around by liz truss and he's causing chaos. around by liz truss and he's causing chaos . this is a set of causing chaos. this is a set of announcements which is undermining business investment in this in this country is undermining the stability of our economy and it's actually going to cost consumers as more well away from net zero. >> the government's plan to deal
9:05 pm
with inflation, they say, is working, particularly according to the chancellor for the rate of inflation did fall today to 6.7% in august. that's down from 6.8% in july. the bank of england had predicted that figure to increase to more than 7. but it comes ahead of another expected interest rate rise tomorrow . full coverage right tomorrow. full coverage right here gb news. now consultants and junior doctors took unprecedented industrial action today, holding their first ever joint strike manning picket lines during a walkout over pay. thousands of bma medics have stopped work at nhs hospitals across england , delaying across england, delaying operations and placing more pressure on an overstretched health service . and lastly, the health service. and lastly, the king and queen are attending a banquet tonight at the palace of versailles. as their three day state visit to france continues. king charles and queen camilla are guests of honour at the black tie event in the famous hall of mirrors . in his speech

9:07 pm
, taxing us to drive reducing speed limits to 20mph and forcing veganism while decimating our farming industry , banning gas boilers and petrol cars , and even stopping the cars, and even stopping the working class flying the conserve natives under rishi sunak have finally realised such a policy prescription is the opposite of a vote winner for all. his faults in recent months, the pm was brave enough to tear himself away from the eco orthodoxy inflicted on the british population by david cameron, theresa may and boris johnson. without any honesty about the vast economic and social costs which , by the way, social costs which, by the way, is a complete outrage given the uk has done far more than virtually any other western society to cut carbon since margaret thatcher put us on a steady environmental footing in a move that gives him one of the only chances to win the general election, sunak realised today that for that reason the
9:08 pm
deranged march to not0 just has to slow down. >> and when our share of global emissions is less than 1, how can it be right that british citizens are now being told to sacrifice even more than others 7 sacrifice even more than others ? because the risk here for those of us who care about reaching net zero as i do, is simple. if we continue down this path , we risk losing the consent path, we risk losing the consent of the british people . of the british people. >> of course , such a move was >> of course, such a move was always going to upset the establishment, especially the mainstream media, with the british bashing corporation and woke itv immediately giving the speech the thumbs down. >> boris johnson says your paltry businesses say you've robbed them of certainty. and one of your former cabinet colleagues suggests that this risks putting you on the wrong side of history. is this all because you're panicking about losing the election or prime minister, know probably minister, you know probably better than anyone that we've
9:09 pm
had years of under investment caused by economic instability, which has in turn led to low growth. >> when you became prime minister you pledged to restore stability by delaying the targets for motor vehicle replacement boiler replacement. many big businesses that want to invest in this country say you've pulled the rug from under them and you've increased instability, the reverse of what you wanted to do. you said many big businesses are loving it. >> thank goodness, though. the third question at today's landmark press conference came from news political editor from gb news political editor christopher again christopher hope, once again representing the voice of the silenced majority party. >> next, we'll go to gb news. >> next, we'll go to gb news. >> prime minister , you mentioned >> prime minister, you mentioned the unacceptable cost on hard pressed british families. how much changes save the much will these changes save the average working family? and you talk about consent . why not put talk about consent. why not put net zero by 2050 to a referendum that british people don't net zero by 2050 to a referendum that i british people don't net zero by 2050 to a referendum that i think sh people don't net zero by 2050 to a referendum that ithink we've»ple don't net zero by 2050 to a referendum that i think we've had don't net zero by 2050 to a referendum that i think we've had enough think i think we've had enough
9:10 pm
referendums, frankly . referendums, quite frankly. >> disagree with that. >> i disagree with that. >> i disagree with that. >> actually. not zero is going to have up to £2 trillion worth of ramifications that will negatively impact the lives of every single british person. so serious that the consequences have been covered up because there would be some sort of mass revolt. only a vote on the 2050 target will make both labour and the tories be honest about what they are proposing and this sort of hysteria from former cabinet minister alok sharma isn't going to fly anymore. we want the facts , not doomsday claims , as facts, not doomsday claims, as we have countries around the world resigning from their commitments. >> i'm afraid that the patient is going to be very much on life support and by that i mean of course the planet . course the planet. >> it was superwoman suella who summed up the mood of the country best. >> not going to save the planet by bankrupting the british people . people. >> you hear now, look, today was a great start, rishi, but give

9:12 pm
. and i think that a very large numbers of people don't realise what's hit them. and it's where she said he wanted our response to be pragmatic, propose passionate and realistic. and he is really moving towards that . is really moving towards that. but you know, our emissions are 1. china turns out 30% of the world emissions. i mean, it is utterly absurd for to us bankrupt normal people , never bankrupt normal people, never mind the rich people who can afford it . with all this afford it. with all this ludicrous rush to net zero. i mean, whoever thought of nut zero instead of net zero, i think it was me. >> oh, well, yeah. >> oh, well, yeah. >> yeah, it sounds like you, dan. like you. is is dan. it sounds like you. is is utterly ludicrous. i mean, we are bankrupting ourselves while china just laughs at us and roars ahead . of course. roars ahead. of course. >> sunak's speech today we have cut our carbon emissions by half, reported it . cut our carbon emissions by half, reported it. china up by 300. america hasn't actually changed since because they they're they're fracking, aren't they? >> we were fracking . >> we were fracking. >> we were fracking. >> they should be fracking and we should be. >> we should be fracking, to be frank.

9:21 pm
9:22 pm
>> first, though, the clash. and tony blair helped organise sir keir starmers meeting with maki macron on as part of a secret plot to reverse brexit. it sends sensationally emerged today and inside source quoted in the daily mail revealed blair is trying to convince starmer that the more he edges towards saint brexit is a disaster, the better labour will do. he believes that reversing brexit can be a vote winner and he is pushing that very message hard . of course, we very message hard. of course, we all know how the former pm holds the 17.4 million brits who voted for brexit in contempt. look . the 17.4 million brits who voted for brexit in contempt. look. in june 2016 we had the referendum and that expressed the will of the people. >> but the will of the people isn't something fixed or unchangeable . if the unchangeable. if the circumstances change, the will can change, the views can change. we knew that we voted to leave the european union, but we didn't yet know the new relationship. we've got the right it's not that
9:23 pm
right to rethink. it's not that we have to rethink, but we've got the right to rethink if we want to. >> so sinister. so is tony blair right that reversing brexit will now be a vote winner for labour down at gbnews.com vote? in our poll at gb news on twitter. but a clash on this now former brexit party mep rupert lowe, the actor s jenny barnett and founder of pimlico plumbers, charlie mullins. so rupert lowe, i mean , what on earth is blair i mean, what on earth is blair doing getting involved in this ? doing getting involved in this? and surely there is some sort of plot going on with starmer and macron to reverse brexit. >> well, blair and his his little team of campbell mandelson and brown , between mandelson and brown, between them did more damage to britain than probably anybody in history. >> and now he's pulling the strings behind the scene . and strings behind the scene. and we've had a democratic vote on this. and despite the fact that cameron spent large sums of money trying to persuade the
9:24 pm
british people to vote, to remain in, they didn't. they voted leave , it would have voted to leave, it would have been a much bigger majority had that been sent to 9 that pamphlet not been sent to 9 million households. so at the end of the day, i think we should respect the vote . i think should respect the vote. i think that y i mean, when you look at who have we got, we've got reeves, we've got lammy , and reeves, we've got lammy, and we've got keir starmer with angela rayner on the bench . do angela rayner on the bench. do they fill you with, with, with, with amounts confidence down? >> no, they don't. they don't. but. jenny barnett what? blair doing involved getting involved in this cause he's talking about that change people change a majority of britons, 55, say that worthy eu referenda were to take place. >> now seven years down the line , they would vote to remain. do you want a second referendum? oh i don't want to see it. i just think there needs to be a change. the country is actually
9:25 pm
toppling just rejoin. >> just ignore the biggest democratic mandate in history. jenny, that's your solution. it was not it was only a 2 or 3% win and it was all based. but i'm talking about the number of people who voted, 71.4 million people. so yeah , and there were people. so yeah, and there were more who didn't vote . more who didn't vote. >> and also it was all on a stack of slogans. i would like to ask our man here we who was. no, no, no. i want to know you wanted to take back sovereignty . what do you mean, what do you mean? okay, take me. >> answer that before we come to charlie. what do you mean? what do you mean? rupert sovereignty. >> dan is . is the do you mean? rupert sovereignty. >> dan is. is the nation do you mean? rupert sovereignty. >> dan is . is the nation state >> dan is. is the nation state where the british electorate vote for a parliament in westminster and they can remove them after a term of five years? whether that's a fixed term, we aren't. >> they don't listen . that's we haven't. >> hang on. we haven't had. will you will you listen for a minute, please? listen for a minute, please? listen for a minute instead of spouting rubbish end of the day we rubbish at the end of the day we have not had brexit. we have had
9:26 pm
dumb insolence from from from the civil service. we have not actually left the european union because the people who lead the country know and i totally understand that. >> charlie mullins i want to bnng >> charlie mullins i want to bring you in here because i'm fascinated by how you feel about this, charlie, because think this, charlie, because i think there's that there's probably two things that you hate politically, you really hate politically, right? party and right? the labour party and brexit. so how do you feel about the fact that it's your hated labour party that are actually wanting to reverse your hated brexit? >> well, the thing is that tony blair is right. >> it's definitely a vote winner, undoubtedly. and as that other lady just said, 55% of people would vote to join the eu. 31% say they would stay as they are. but unfortunately, because labour's no good on them from a business point of view. but it's definitely a vote winner and i think it'll happen. i think that we'll be more associated with it and i think the time now to sort of realise that it's johnson's sort of mess up that has got us in this
9:27 pm
state. the country is going bankrupt. need to swallow that. >> would it be enough? charlie charlie be enough then charlie would it be enough then for you to vote out labour ? for you to vote out labour? >> um , yes, because i feel if we >> um, yes, because i feel if we don't, if we carry on like this . yeah, yeah, i'll be honest with you. i mean , rupert, you're with you. i mean, rupert, you're laughing your head off, but it's not that i'm being asked not a bad that i'm being asked a direct question and a direct answer. i can't labour. answer. i can't stand labour. right. | answer. i can't stand labour. right. i can't stand them because no good at because they're no good at business. the token business. but in the same token , in the same token, the country is going bankrupt. we're is going to go bankrupt. we're missing out on respond to that, charlie. >> charlie , charlie. like you, >> charlie, charlie. like you, i run a number of businesses in mechanical and electrical contracting. you've done a fantastic job building up a great business. i admire you for that. but why do you want to be part of the a sclerotic , part of the a sclerotic, protectionist recidivist block which is dying on its feet when ultimately the world, the world outside europe is growing far faster? it's got a far more vibrant economy . and at the end,
9:28 pm
vibrant economy. and at the end, we should be part of it. >> we'll let charlie answer that and then i'll come to you, jenny. charlie, you answer that question. >> okay? >> okay? >> rupert, the thing we're missing out on now is obviously the free movement. so construction industry is virtually at the virtually finished at the moment. it's on the floor. it's proving how bad we are at training now we're training now because we're not bringing nobody through. we're losing nurses , we're losing losing nurses, we're losing doctors, we're losing people that we all this free that we need by all this free stopping, this free move and nonsense. we're missing these people . all we need to realise people. all we need to realise that we made a mistake. we need to get back in or get associated with it. and whoever comes up with it. and whoever comes up with it, whether labour use it as a vote winner or hopefully conservatives wake up and use it themselves , then that will themselves, then that will definitely get them back in. >> okay, jenny barnett, final word to you, jenny. >> i think i cannot agree more with charlie . i can't believe with charlie. i can't believe i'm saying that. with charlie. i can't believe i'm saying that . but the fact is i'm saying that. but the fact is , is that we are bobbing around in the ocean on our own and we
9:29 pm
need to rethink something that went terribly wrong on a stack of rubbish . of rubbish. >> rubbish. jenny barnett we've just got to do it properly. rupert lowe charlie mullins fascinating discussion tonight. so who do you agree with is tony blair right that reversing brexit is a vote winner for labour ? sean via twitter writes labour? sean via twitter writes blair wanted to kill the pound when the euro was introduced in other countries and now he wants to democracy well by to kill our democracy as well by ignonng to kill our democracy as well by ignoring the majority who voted for brexit. from steve. i think it could be a vote winner for laboun it could be a vote winner for labour. unfortunately we have a brexit in name only at the moment. and ian he is written in to say if labour did take us back into the eu, it could an back into the eu, it could be an opportunity for the tories to defend its benefits. defend brexit and its benefits. but require but this would require a new believable deal leader. so an anti sunak position there. your verdict now in just 12% of you agree that reversing brexit would be a vote winner for labour. would be a vote winner for labour . 88% would be a vote winner for labour. 88% of you would be a vote winner for labour . 88% of you with would be a vote winner for labour. 88% of you with rupert lowe , kelly keane, angela levin

9:32 pm
a showdown with climate conscious prince william and king charles? >> and how does will's low key new york jaunt compare to harry's chaotic car chase there earlier this year? well, top royal author angela levin joins me live with all of the latest royal news. sean lee. but next, grooming brand brought in sparks uproar by advertising its razors using a trans man baring breast removal scars. so not only have they potentially breached, strict advertising rules are they gambling their entire brand at the altar of woke just like bud light were leading women's rights advocates? kelly j. keane joins me live with her unfiltered take on that and much more. she's live
9:36 pm
monday to thursdays from six till 930 . till 930. >> angela levin on the royal response to the prime minister's net zero bonfire soon. but first, women's rights activist kelly j. keane is live with me and braun is facing a furious backlash after using a trans model with visible breast surgery scars to advertise a men's razor . surgery scars to advertise a men's razor. the grooming brand follows in the footsteps of costa coffee, which was boycotted for this cartoon ad of a trans man with double mastectomy stars and bud light, which saw billions wiped off its market value after partnering with dylan mulvaney. so kelly, what action be wrong with this? braun ad, in your view ? great to braun ad, in your view? great to have you, by the way . have you, by the way. >> oh, hi. >> oh, hi. >> thanks for having me . what's >> thanks for having me. what's wrong with it? >> well, what's right with it, i
9:37 pm
suppose, would be would more suppose, would be would be more of a question. but i spoke to a woman who had a mastectomy two weeks she's still in in weeks ago, and she's still in in the grips of a really painful and slow recovery. and she was so offended, she said it just felt really insult, noting that they are using wrong. um, i mean, especially such catastrophically enormous scars on that woman that they are using this to virtue signal when actually having your body parts removed even when it's life saving, which it is with breast saving—.whichit is with breast is savings—whichit is with breast is a savings—whiehit is with breast is a really serious ——- ——— might be against advertising|ight be going against advertising standards, which is to not glorify cosmetic surgery. so that's that's another issue there. but but how can it, how can we be celebrating this? it's like, you know, it's slimfast going to suddenly start using anorexic models to show everybody that dieting is such a wonderful thing . if you if you
9:38 pm
wonderful thing. if you if you dnnk wonderful thing. if you if you drink a milkshake , it's just drink a milkshake, it's just preposterous . preposterous. >> yeah, it's interesting, actually. we had suzanne evans on our superstar panel last night. she is a breast cancer survivor and she was absolutely disgusted by it, actually. so clearly that's something that has resonated with women who have had to had have reconstructive surgery. we did contact braun for comment, by the way, kelly. they didn't respond, but their parent company, procter and gamble, said at p&g , we aspire to create said at p&g, we aspire to create a company and a world where equality and inclusion are achieved all for all. but kelly, potentially much more serious news with a bombshell new study revealing that 34% of trans kids taking puberty blockers actually suffer from mental health problems . suffer from mental health problems. now, suffer from mental health problems . now, these latest problems. now, these latest figures are the result of a reanalysis of a study carried out by the controversial tavistock gender clinic in 2011. and they questioned on the original finding that puberty blockers had no impact on mental
9:39 pm
health. kelly this is becoming more disturbing by the day, isn't it ? isn't it? >> i'm really shocked that they ever found any evidence that they were anything but harmful to be quite honest , i they were anything but harmful to be quite honest, i think you don't. i mean, i don't need a study to know that puberty is absolutely essential, that we all know when we went through puberty , we sort of arrived at puberty, we sort of arrived at the end of it completely different people with different perspectives. it is the most signal significant and the biggest change that you have in any stage of life. so there is more change to your brain chemistry to your makeup and to your sort of thinking and cognitive ability in teenage years, more than from infancy to age three. so learning to walk, talk , recognise actually become talk, recognise actually become a human being through those toddler years is not a significant as what happens through puberty . and to think
9:40 pm
through puberty. and to think that you can mess with it to play that you can mess with it to play god in any in any stretch is just absolutely bonkers. like who do we think we are that we can just impose that upon children and it's not going to have catastrophic impact . it's have catastrophic impact. it's and whilst we might be looking at those children in that moment, like through those years , as we have no idea, there's no data on actually what totally stopping puberty means for somebody aged 30, like who had no puberty . no puberty. >> and that's why this will be a scandal that unravels over probably the next three decades. and we're likely to see mass class action, i believe. but look, you know, we give both sides of the story here on gb news kelly and the tavistock and portman nhs foundation trust said we welcome new contribution to the evidence base around how to the evidence base around how to support young people with gender incongruence and the nhs said it's not known whether hormone blockers affect the
9:41 pm
development of the teenage brain or children's bone . now, big or children's bone. now, big political story today, kelly. the scottish government has been in court trying to overturn the westminster veto of its gender self—id law, which would have made it easier for scots to change gender legally . despite change gender legally. despite all the controversy surrounding the bill, former first minister nicola sturgeon stood by it in an interview recently. watch. do you now have any regrets about the way you handled the gender recognition reform bill? >> i don't have regrets about the way i handled it. >> women's rights matter to me more than most other things that we could talk about here. but i also think that what is probably the most stigmatised, vulnerable and discriminated against group in society deserves a better crack at the whip in terms of just being themselves. i don't think these things are irreconcilable. so kelly, why is the snp continuing to lobby for this bill?
9:42 pm
>> well, i wonder if they're just trying to convince the engush just trying to convince the english to go for independence since to be quite honest , it's since to be quite honest, it's the england england campaigns for independence from scotland and english separatism . and english separatism. >> oh, no, come on, we don't want that. we don't want that . want that. we don't want that. >> don't want it either. but how can she honestly say that women's rights are important and yet , you know, it took it took yet, you know, it took it took her having a bit of a kicking before she realised that you shouldn't put a violent rapist into a women's prison . so into a women's prison. so i don't really believe her. i think there's other things going on. i think this is a bit of an authority push. i don't genuinely think that nicola sturgeon thinks that women can have penises and that it's a goodidea have penises and that it's a good idea for somebody just to identify and fill in a couple of forms and then be legally recognised as woman . i just recognised as a woman. i just don't buy it. i don't think anybody in her position who clearly is an intelligent woman,
9:43 pm
i just don't believe it. clearly is an intelligent woman, ijust don't believe it. i a don't believe a word she said in that little clip. there so as for scotland going for self id , for scotland going for self id, there's no upside to it, is there? for women or children. and they're trying to reduce it to sort of age 16. so i wonder if it's a broader idea about sort of authoritarianism and controlling of a population , controlling of a population, because i just don't buy that it's for the good of as she calls them, a vulnerable population. i also don't think that's true. i don't think the most vulnerable people in this country are people wishing to be the opposite sex. i think there's children living in poverty and elderly people in a very isolated, impoverished existence at a much more vulnerable . vulnerable. >> kelly j. keane always great to have you. thank you so much. we'll speak really soon. but coming up in the mediabuzz rishi sunak pulls the handbrake on noto sunak pulls the handbrake on not0 with a raft of climbdown that have left all the right people fuming. not least tory wets in his own party. so should
9:44 pm
conservative dissenters have the whip removed if they choose the green agenda over keeping sir keir out of number 10, my superstar panel debate shortly . superstar panel debate shortly. when does the pm also risk a showdown with climate conscious prince william and king charles? two top royal author angela levin gives her expert analysis and also compares william's successful new york trip to the car chase club ouster of harry earlier this year. she's
9:47 pm
next top gear's original stig and jim davidson both still to come. but now it's time for esteemed royal journalist and biographer angela levin. and as you know from my digest, rishi sunak has today rowed back on a series of nut zero pledges. this significant policy shift comes hot on the heels of prince william's solo visit to new york, where he warned un officials of the dangers change, dangers of climate change, a cause he and his cause which both he and his father, king charles, have been pushing public lee for years .
9:48 pm
pushing public lee for years. >> as the queen celebrates her platinum jubilee, the pressing need to protect and restore our planet has never been more urgent. >> the covid 19 pandemic has shown us just how devastating a global cross—border threat can be. >> climate change and biodiversity loss are no different in fact, they pose an even greater existential threat to the extent that we have to put ourselves on what might be called a warlike footing . called a warlike footing. >> angela, welcome back to the studio. is the pm risking a clash with the climate conscious monarch? >> i don't think so, actually. i mean , we know that king charles mean, we know that king charles has been talking about this for 50 years. he gave his first speech about it. that's why i think he might be 21. >> very annoyed. >> very annoyed. >> no, but i think he then he was laughed at and nobody listened to him. but i think now he can really see that. so many
9:49 pm
countries in the world agree and want to get there. but he says war like footing right . war like footing right. >> and what sunak has done today and, you know, i fully support what sunak has done today. but i think charles will be saying, well, if we're wanting to go on think charles will be saying, wwarif we're wanting to go on think charles will be saying, wwar likee're wanting to go on think charles will be saying, wwar like footing,ing to go on think charles will be saying, wwar like footing, what go on think charles will be saying, wwar like footing, what on on a war like footing, what on earth you doing? rowing back earth are you doing? rowing back on of the proposals. >> but if you're in war, you have wait for the right have to wait for the right moment to actually move forward. otherwise things won't work. and i think he's a sort of man who is very compassion towards the people in this country and in the commonwealth and that he doesn't want people to be freezing cold. he doesn't want them money and i think them to lose money and i think that he will understand that, you know, it's only a few years . it's not going to make much difference audience with difference next audience with sunak risks being a little bit frosty . no, sunak risks being a little bit frosty. no, i don't think so. i mean, he can get very irritable, especially in buckingham palace. and you know, if he doesn't get things done quickly . but this things done quickly. but this isn't something like this isn't something like that. this isn't something like that. this is something that he wants to take people him take the people with him understand. his understand. and i think with his
9:50 pm
son knows that that will son that he knows that that will be continued. >> of course, has been >> of course, william has been talking in new york. talking about this in new york. there's two solar tour. it there's two day solar tour. it was interesting. angela was really interesting. angela because it felt mature and statesman , a real contrast statesman like, a real contrast to what happened when harry and meghan went to the same city earlier this year. do you remember that there was so much with the taxi that never was? >> and with pm's visit >> and actually with pm's visit couldn't be any more different . couldn't be any more different. >> no, it's very different. you can see a man who's happy in his own skin, which is also a great achievement from his own childhood and i think that he, you , you know, he really you, you know, he really understood that his father is letting him do what he wants in his preparation to be an heir. he's not telling him what he wants to do for him , but they wants to do for him, but they happen to have the same feelings. and so it gives him strength. and he's also got a mischievous eye, which he doesn't mind. now, you know, jumping the and trying jumping in the river and trying to find all the crustaceans that are and i think that he are there. and i think that he feels that he's got over harry. it's decided there's a line
9:51 pm
drawn under it. it's quite obvious. and he's moving on and he's doing extremely well. and if he's a little bit look at him in the hudson there getting his hands through, lots of people saying, angela, i'm not one of them. >> is f.- f me saying f.— f me saying it can >> this is not me saying it can i just say. but of people i just say. but lots of people say he's become a bit of say that he's become a bit of a heartthrob again, angela, do 7 ee. agree? >> well, i think, know, >> well, i think, you know, a handsome prince, despite the fact he doesn't have much fact that he doesn't have much hair, heart he is he hair, is a heart man. he is he is role model . no, no. hair, is a heart man. he is he is role model. no, no. he's is a role model. no, no. he's a i'm heading that way, believe me. but he's a role model as well. and bowden isn't is he a sort of not. and that way they might not want famous stars . might not want famous stars. they might not respond to royal family but he's got charisma and his charming. and the thing that i really think is important with him is that he wants to help people. he listens . he's not people. he listens. he's not like and meghan who make like harry and meghan who make lectures on how everybody has to be. that's true. he, you be. that's very true. he, you know, listens to them and know, he listens to them and asksif know, he listens to them and asks if he help and then he asks if he can help and then he does go and do the help. so that's why breaking tonight,
9:52 pm
though, state dinner for though, a big state dinner for king charles and queen camilla this evening in france alongside macron and his wife . macron and his wife. >> a whole load of celebrities have turned up angela arsene wenger, mick jagger, hugh grant . what on earth is hugh grant? >> i think what on earth is mick jagger doing there? >> this was earlier in the day . >> this was earlier in the day. yeah. and he seems to have had a really good reception , an all really good reception, an all pink, you see, that's all the thing for women at the moment. barbie's pink. so. so these are the arrivals tonight . what do the arrivals tonight. what do you think ? charles has proven you think? charles has proven himself a bit of a secret weapon in terms of rebuilding the fracture fractured political relationship france? relationship with france? >> is to make friends >> well, this is to make friends again and to be nice and to be for everyone. but i'm very pleased to see they're not wearing tiaras, because think wearing tiaras, because i think it's ridiculous. is not it's ridiculous. this is not a hugely important thing . why is hugely important thing. why is hugh grant there, who asked him, why is mick jagger there ? i why is mick jagger there? i mean, he's not exactly very nice with women, is he, over the
9:53 pm
years? well well. and the footballers , what are they? footballers, what are they? i think it's a bit of an odd number of people who are they're not necessarily see i mean , not necessarily to see i mean, if you see table that's if you see the table that's spread out there, think spread out there, i think it's too much , actually. i think you too much, actually. i think you can be you can have a can be there. you can have a nice chat and it can just be a bit lower because at the moment i think don't to i think people don't want to see you amounts of you spending vast amounts of money that are not money on things that are not necessary. >> just ask angela how it >> can i just ask angela how it works state dinner like works at a state dinner like this because this has this? because obviously this has been hosted by the french. by the way, this was the walkabout with with macron and charles earlier today. and macron loved this. he's actually posed did this. he's actually posed did this video himself to social media. you see his he's been booed recently , but of course, booed recently, but of course, he's not booed when he's with charles. >> no, but he's pleased to be with the king you know, it's just one step up from where you are. so he's to be on his are. so he's going to be on his best behaviour. yeah. are. so he's going to be on his best beiremember, h. are. so he's going to be on his best beiremember, he was at the >> and remember, he was at the football couple of football stadium a couple of weeks all of a weeks ago, booed. all of a sudden, around the sudden, he's walking around the streets of france with charles.
9:54 pm
well, charles's charisma. >> e say that they >> actually. they say that they really like him. they were shouting from the top and they're very pleased to see him and that's what he and camilla. and that's what he can well. he can charm can do very well. he can charm you. now, just back to the state dinner. >> so here are the pictures of charles being greeted by macron and his wife at the state dinner and his wife at the state dinner and the toast and everything's going on this evening. i've had a look at the menu. looks very nice, but he's decided they couldn't have foie gras. >> he insisted on that . yeah. yes. >> and so that's what i was going to ask about. so. so does he make the decisions for example, about the food and the guest yes did. guest list? yes he did. >> he wanted to make guest list? yes he did. >> that he wanted to make guest list? yes he did. >> that it he wanted to make guest list? yes he did. >> that it was wanted to make guest list? yes he did. >> that it was something make guest list? yes he did. >> that it was something thate sure that it was something that he agree with the foie he could agree with the foie gras. don't want gras. a lot of people don't want to because it's given to eat that because it's given to eat that because it's given to small ducks and it makes their lungs all tastes so their lungs all it tastes so good. i've never tried it, but i'io. 110. >> no. >> can i just can i just can i just make my point, though, about grant? >> because what what i find so repulsive about this is this is a total hard—left activist who actually wants to shut down the
9:55 pm
free press in the uk and no one on the right and no one even on the centre right would ever be ianed the centre right would ever be invited to that sort of dinner. so i find it really surprising that it's totally accepted that it's just totally accepted that it's just totally accepted that wants hugh that king charles wants hugh grant dinner. grant at that dinner. >> think if somebody is >> well, i think if somebody is famous, don't grudges. famous, they don't bear grudges. camilla particular, she camilla in particular, she doesn't have grudges. if he doesn't have grudges. so if he sort made an oh, could sort of made an oh, could i perhaps along? i think perhaps come along? i think maybe he'll understand. but i think it was ridiculous to have him there . him there. >> i agree. well, we agree on that. angela levin, brilliant stuff. thank you so much. now coming up in the next hour, the horrific injury suffered by former england cricket star freddie flintoff on top gear have plunged the bbc into a new crisis, with reports suggesting the of the entire show is the future of the entire show is at of high octane. stunts at risk of high octane. stunts are watered down axed . so is are watered down or axed. so is it time to wave the chequered flag the hit series? the flag on the hit series? the show's original expert racing driver , the stig, is unmasked . driver, the stig, is unmasked. asked later in the show as he shares his bombshell insight ,

10:15 pm
british colonies? my superstar panel gets into where the panel gets stuck into where the wheels needs publicly draw wheels needs to publicly draw a line over the issue. and if king charles is blame for an charles is to blame for an increasing wave reparation increasing wave of reparation demands. shocking demands. but next, the shocking injuries freddie flintoff suffered top gear suffered during his top gear crash have sparked a new crisis at the bbc over fears the show's high octane stunts will now be down. so should top gear watered down. so should top gear be axed for safety reasons? well unmask the programme's i unmask the programme's original top racing driver, the stig . he's live .
10:19 pm
radio. ”ji'm 7 7 jim davidson 7 ”jim davidson weighs in 7 7 jim davidson weighs in on the >> jim davidson weighs in on the russell brand allegations shortly and his trial by media. but time now for another serious bbc internal crisis . recently, bbc internal crisis. recently, top gear presenter freddie flintoff bravely revealed the injuries he sustained in a high speed driving stunt . the much speed driving stunt. the much loved former cricketer was traumatically involved in a near fatal crash while filming for the beeb's flagship motorist programme last year. an health and safety independent health and safety review of top gear's current practises was conducted over the summer and will report this autumn. it could spell the autumn. and it could spell the end of amateur presenters taking part in the dangerous stunts. part in. the dahgeretis sturts ....,,,.,,.,.,, man part in. the dangeretissturtsf man knows part in. the dangereessturtsf man knows all too well the one man knows all too well the dangers posed to participants on the show. there he is. meet the original stig on top gear, who has now been unmasked as formula one driver formula for former formula one driver perry
10:20 pm
mccarthy. and i'm delighted to be joined now by perry, who starred on top gear from 2002. so perry, were there safeguards in place then to prevent the serious sort of accidents we've seen specifically freddie flintoff, whose life seems to have been changed? >> well, you mean back in 2002, whether those precautions. >> yeah, no , no, no. >> yeah, no, no, no. >>— >> yeah, no, no, no. >> we kind of got on with it. and most of it was in the open air field. and obviously from my background, i'd like to think i know what i'm doing a little bit. so so i could take care of myself, but can't. would myself, but i can't. i would imagine clearly, of course, because there have been a number of adventures and accidents across the show's histories that there their their health and safety procedures have come up. and would that there and you would think that there is more support there . but to is more support there. but to what and clearly that is what level? and clearly that is the question with freddie's the question with poor freddie's accident and horrible injuries, you are quite critical of the
10:21 pm
bbc here, though, aren't you ? bbc here, though, aren't you? yeah, i kind of find it pretty bizarre, really, that , you know, bizarre, really, that, you know, first off, you know, we all wish freddie well. and judging by the pictures, you can only imagine he went through an awful lot of pain. so you know, hats off to freddie and his enthusiasm and his character. and he's one of the people that's really made top come back to being top gear come back to being a great temper enthused great show, but temper enthused . it's got to be tempered sometimes . and, you know, sometimes. and, you know, freddie's background is as a sportsman, he's highly competitive , but it is not competitive, but it is not driving . and sometimes i feel driving. and sometimes i feel that maybe there's a bit of a colour needed to contain the enthusiasm to protect enthusiasts and talented drivers like freddie talented like freddie or talented personalities like freddie from themselves. so but everything is conjecture at the moment, dan and that's what i'm critical of, is that why don't we know exactly what has happened ? you exactly what has happened? you know, we know why. >> but we know why. perry because the bbc, anytime they are in trouble , there's a cover
10:22 pm
are in trouble, there's a cover up that's always what happens with the bbc, whether you're talking about the princess diana interview or jimmy savile they cover up the truth. and i think it's appalling given that we pay for programming, for this programming, too. but i guess my fundamental question for you, though , perry, if for you, though, perry, is if you look beyond the bbc here, why what sort of society do we want to live in? do we want to live in a society where we allow grown adults to take risks within reason ? and of course, within reason? and of course, there have to be proper health and safety procedures in place and safety procedures in place and stuff like that, or do do we need to say that all of these stunts have to be left to professionals like you, which would mean the show was nowhere near as popular because the reason why people watch the show is because of celebrities doing crazy things . crazy things. >> yeah, it's i'll tell you about risk is that you can try and limit it. you can try and govern it. you can try and contain it. yeah but you'll never eradicate it. even if you're doing 60 or 70 miles an houn you're doing 60 or 70 miles an hour, you won't eradicate it. so
10:23 pm
not to lose the thrill of good presenters on there. sure you can have them go fast, but it's going to need it would appear to me as if they're going to need better procedures. they're maybe from somebody from my background or even working with the presenters to just say, look guys, this is the wrong time and wrong place to go quickly because something's has happened in that accident. we've not been told about it. but judging by freddie's injuries , it appears freddie's injuries, it appears to me that the car has maybe gone upside down. and then it's a question of what kind of crash it was using, because i would never advocate going out with a half face crash helmet. it would always be a full face crash helmet. and for me and again , helmet. and for me and again, it's conjecture because conjecture like everybody else, because nobody's told us exactly what's happening or why the show might be cancelled . and that's might be cancelled. and that's that's my criticism at the moment. so everything is conjecture . but i think it was conjecture. but i think it was a crash helmet situation with freddie he's sadly that it
10:24 pm
freddie and he's sadly that it is something that i personally would have spotted from the outside . outside. >> yeah, absolutely. >> yeah, absolutely. >> and i think where i totally agree with you, perry is that we need transparent . nancy from the need transparent. nancy from the bbc, both for freddie's sake, but also the public's sake, because, you know, we're paying for this show via our licence fee. but perry mccarthy, the original stig , they did say they original stig, they did say they were going to slow later this yeah >>i yeah >> i don't know if they've noticed. it's kind of later this year already. >> exactly. let's see. well, look, this is what they told us tonight. a bbc spokesperson said a decision on the timing of future top gear shows will be made with made in conjunction with bbc content course . the content in due course. the health and safety review of the show concluded . show has not yet concluded. thank you so much to perry mccarthy, former formula one driver. the original stig unmasked. to speak to you. unmasked. great to speak to you. but coming up, russell brand's real time cancellation continues amid the historical sex allegations . and jim davidson allegations. and jim davidson joins live to retell his own joins me live to retell his own hellish experience of being tried by public opinion and give
10:25 pm
his verdict on brand's predicament. britain's funniest comedian will also weigh in on rishi's net zero pledge, sir keir's meeting with mucky macron and more later tonight. next, amid fresh calls for reparations from the president of guyana, do the king and prince william need to draw a line under this debate once and for all? my superstar panel returned to give their views, there's more of views, and there's more of tomorrow's newspaper front pages

close the poll gap with labour has triggered condemnation. comment nation from their mates and the globalists like al gore and the globalists like al gore and the globalists like al gore and the cry—babies like alok sharma not from ordinary people, but the guardian don't speak to many of them. my superstar panel returned. now the author and broadcaster chris steen hamilton, the businessman . and hamilton, the businessman. and activist adam brooks, and former labour party adviser matthew lazor, now prince william's whistle top whistle stop tour, excuse me, of new york, has ended successfully, but his solo visit was this morning marred by fresh for the monarchy to fresh calls for the monarchy to pay fresh calls for the monarchy to pay reparations, this time from the president of the south american nation of guyana . good american nation of guyana. good morning britain host richard madeley, however, was having absolutely none of it. >> you should be concerned and you should pay because you today are still benefiting from the greatest indignity to human being, and that is the slave trade . trade. >> but almost every civilisation on the planet owes its existence
10:32 pm
and its prosperity. >> almost always to crimes. in the past, one of the points you're going to be making today is about our royal family and you feel that it's not just about the finances involved here in terms of reparations for slavery. gestures slavery. it's about the gestures . and you think that the british royal make a big royal family should make a big gesture, don't you? what you gesture, don't you? what do you mean? a palace your mean? hand over a palace to your country ? well no, we don't want country? well no, we don't want the hand. >> we don't want the british to hand over a palace that we built. you know, if you go into many of the palaces in britain , many of the palaces in britain, you will see the lovely greenheart wood from guyana woke itv will probably issue richard meili a formal warning for that sort of robust questioning . sort of robust questioning. >> but of course, king charles has recently suggested that he would support research into the monarchy's ties into the slave trade, opening floodgates trade, opening the floodgates for around the world to for states around the world to ask soon become ask if we will soon become a reparations nation. so unfortunately, christine , i said unfortunately, christine, i said at the time charles, as you're making a massive mistake back
10:33 pm
because this is what's to going making a massive mistake back because now. is what's to going making a massive mistake back because now. everyat's to going making a massive mistake back because now. every little going happen now. every little country, formerly a british colony going on british television demanding reparations . okay, charles, what's your answer to that, mate? >> no, i quite agree. he should not have got involved because this is a very political issue in to actually say, what's your answer, your majesty, i'm sorry. >> was very rude of me. >> that was very rude of me. >> that was very rude of me. >> in ten years time we are going to celebrate to hundredth anniversary when britain anniversary of when britain stopped the slave trade throughout the empire. and then a years later, stopped a few years later, we stopped it altogether. we led the altogether. and we led the world, our navy . when britain world, our navy. when britain ruled the waves, we spent a quarter of our navy's budget on trying to stop the slave trade. that was then and this is now what i wish people would do now is concentrate on the modern day atrocities and slavery. you know, the wages and the rohingya muslims and the christian ones who are being persecuted throughout the world. and it's utterly absurd if individual people or families like the trevelyans, the gladstones , trevelyans, the gladstones, etcetera, and lord harwood, who
10:34 pm
apparently says he feels guilt because harwood house was built on the back of the slave trade by his ancestors. fine. do something about it. but the idea that the king should apologise , that the king should apologise, prince albert, his great, great, great, whatever . grandfather great, whatever. grandfather apologised formally on behalf of the royal family in the country decades ago. we've done it. we've done it. we've done it. you know, draw a line. >> i just think about it. i'm listening to christine. just listening to christine. i just think, we, matthew? just think, aren't we, matthew? just the greatest country on earth because christine is completely right. we led the abolition of the slave trade and now today we can look back to the late 80s and say we led the nation , we and say we led the nation, we led the world in the decarbonisation of our country. >> very smooth . >> very smooth. >> very smooth. >> what is with the self flagellation from people like you on the left? >> well , i'm you on the left? >> well, i'm prince and the king. are you including the king as a woke as a woke? >> well, he was opposed to the rwanda plan. >> so, look, i mean, this takes not zero, but i would not i would suggest that. so, look
10:35 pm

anything about anybody . we all anything about anybody. we all know that dan , but where are the know that dan, but where are the facts ? why haven't the police facts? why haven't the police arrested the russell brand ? um, arrested the russell brand? um, and i think the answer to that is that no one has complained against the police. there is a rumour that someone has said something now from 2003, but, you know, there's been accusations of rape. there's been this there's been that. but jim, as you know , though, jim, jim, as you know, though, jim, as for them. >> yeah, but jim, so you see this there has been a complaint to the metropolitan police about an incident in 2003. but jim, isn't point right. an incident in 2003. but jim, isn't point right . you were isn't the point right. you were arrested and you were completely innocent. so, in fact , that an innocent. so, in fact, that an arrest does also not mean that he should be rushed to be condemned and that he should be demonetised, and that the media select committee should demand that every social media platform in the world stop allowing him to make a living. surely we live in a society where he should be innocent until proven guilty . an
10:45 pm
innocent until proven guilty. an old fashioned concept. but it's an important one. >> well, never mind, russell. and i said i won't make any comment because i don't have the facts. but anyone is innocent until proven guilty . when i was until proven guilty. when i was arrested , the accusers were arrested, the accusers were known as victims, straight away. so you were. and the policewoman said to me, we have to take whatever they say as the facts until we can prove them wrong rather than the other way round . it's a strange old world that we live in. britain has got the greatest justice system, and i just have to say the police were me, were fantastic and thank heavens they did a thorough job with help of, of course, with the help of, of course, henry , my lawyer, henry bramham, my lawyer, and trevor barrister. we trevor burke, my barrister. we gave them all the evidence and then it all stopped. but nothing goes you the goes away by, you know, the accusation is there. nothing goes there's that goes away. there's always that someone. look, i mean , let let someone. look, i mean, let let me just speak about russell. he's got millions and millions of hours, and you can't of support hours, and you can't help admiring someone who i believe has got all those
