usual ways. vaiews@gbnews.com. and this time it really is your latest news headlines with tatiana sanchez . tatiana sanchez. >> martin thank you. your top stories from the gb newsroom. we start with some breaking news a man who admitted killing his ex partner to an undercover officer has been sentenced to life in prison and ordered to serve a minimum tum of 20 years. claire holland was last seen leaving a pub in june 2012. in 2019, darren osmond confessed to killing a woman during a 999 call, but later denied it. in an interview due to a lack of evidence and undercover officer was deployed to befriend osmond. an operation which lasted 20 months. the jury was told. osmond blamed miss holland for their child being taken into care and killed her in a drunken argument . at the chancellor says

argument. at the chancellor says inflation fell to 3.9% due to difficult decisions the government made a year ago . government made a year ago. newly released ons figures show uk inflation fell from 4.6% in october. it . is still well above october. it. is still well above the bank of england's goal of 2. the ons says the decrease in fuel was the biggest fuel prices was the biggest reason for the fall. food prices are rising more slowly. are also rising more slowly. jeremy hunt says more still needs to be done . needs to be done. >> a year ago, inflation was 11.1. now it's fallen to 3.9, the lowest for over two years. and that shows the government's plan for the economy is working. but they're still further to go . but they're still further to go. inflation never falls in a straight line, and what we want to do for families up and down the country is to move away from this era of prices continually going up, because we know what pressure it's putting on family budgets , the health secretary says. >> strikes by junior doctors will force more patients to spend christmas in hospital. patient s have been warned there will be significant disruption

to nhs services as staff start a three day walkout, less than a week before christmas. this strike will last until december 23rd as part of a major escalation in their pay dispute. victoria atkins says patients deserve better . deserve better. >> so this christmas we know that these strikes, if they continue today, tomorrow and on friday, it will mean that people will stay in hospital longer than if the strikes had not happened because hospitals will not be able to discharge them. so there will be people spending christmas in hospital rather than at home. that is an enormous cost for individuals and for their families, but also for other members of the health care service. because as junior doctors, the committee appeared to expect consultants and others to expect consultants and others to pick up their work for them . to pick up their work for them. >> shadow paymaster general jonathan ashworth says the strikes are a failure on the prime minister's part to reach a deal with health workers. >> prime minister could have got those trade unions round a table and a negotiated an agreement. the people who are going to

suffer as a consequence of rishi sunak's failure to negotiate are patients. now labour have said that we would if we were in government, get the trade unions in, we would negotiate with them. there were never national strikes nhs when we had a strikes in the nhs when we had a labour and yes, we labour government and yes, we would look pay . but as my would look at pay. but as my colleague wes said colleague wes streeting said earlier this it's not earlier this week, it's not a one off event. it's a journey . one off event. it's a journey. >> the irish government's bringing a legal case against the uk over a controversial act designed to deal with the legacy of the northern ireland troubles , introduced in september, the act includes limited immunity from troubles related offences for those who cooperate with the new independent commission. it will also halt future civil cases and legacy inquests. they'll argue that provisions of the troubles act are incompatible with the uk's obugafions incompatible with the uk's obligations under the european convention on human rights, amnesty international praised the irish government as doing the irish government as doing the right thing for troubles victims . donald trump has

victims. donald trump has accused president joe biden of trying to stop him by any means necessary. after he was barred from running for president in the state of colorado. mr trump was addressing a rally in iowa after colorado's supreme court disqualified him over his alleged role in the january 6th us capitol attack. the ruling makes trump the first presidential candidate in us history to be deemed ineligible for the white house. the trump campaign will now ask the us supreme court to overturn the decision . decision. >> it's no wonder crooked joe biden and the far left lunatics are desperate to stop us by any means necessary. they are willing to violate the us constitutions at levels never seen before in order to win this election . joe seen before in order to win this election .joe biden is a threat election. joe biden is a threat to democracy. it's a threat . to democracy. it's a threat. their weaponizing law enforcement for high level election interference , because election interference, because we're beating them so badly in the polls . and uk house prices

the polls. and uk house prices have seen their biggest annual fall for more than a decade , fall for more than a decade, according to the ons. >> values fell by an average of 1.2% over the 12 months to october. that's the biggest annual decrease since october 2011. the average uk home is now valued at £288,000. that's down £3,000. higher borrowing costs are being blamed for the decline in. this is gb news across the uk on tv in your car, on your digital radio and on your smart speaker by saying play gb news. now back to . martin now back to. martin >> thank you tatiana. cracking stuff now let's get stuck into the programme. let's kick off with some good news. uk inflation unexpectedly fell to 3.9% this morning and that's to according new data from the ons. it's the lowest rate in over two years, and chancellor jeremy hunt has responded by saying

with inflation more than halve, we're starting to remove inflation pressures from the economy. but many families are still struggling with high prices, so we will continue to prioritise measures that help with cost of living pressures . with cost of living pressures. so an early christmas present from the prime minister and the chancellor will join me now to discuss that in the studio is gb news political correspondent, katherine forster. cathy lynn, on the face of it, merry christmas from rishi and mr hunt. but prices are still going up . they're just not going up as up. they're just not going up as quickly as before. i think what you've said is absolutely key. >> martin. >> martin. >> yes. >> yes. >> it's not that prices are falling and we're getting better off because of that. >> prices are still rising. they're just rising less fast. so it's slightly less painful, but still hard . but certainly but still hard. but certainly this is great news for rishi sunak and the chancellor at the end of the year. let's face it, it's been a pretty tough year for them. good news has been

thin on the ground, particularly with the rwanda judgement and all that's been going on. so 3.9% for november, that's below what experts forecast it would be. and of course it was 11.1% october last year. be. and of course it was 11.1% october last year . so rishi october last year. so rishi sunak has pledged to halve inflation. they've succeeded more than succeeded . and of more than succeeded. and of course they are trumpeting it very loudly today , although very loudly today, although there'll be plenty of people will say , well, actually it's will say, well, actually it's not the government's job. it's specifically up to the bank of england and also the bank of england's target is 2. so we're still nearly double that . but still nearly double that. but the government are saying, i think with some justification, that decisions they have made have helped to bring it down. >> okay. well, as, as the spirit of christmas is in the air, let's give them a little benefit of the doubt. it was one of rishi's five pledges for the year. rishi's five pledges for the year . how rishi's five pledges for the year. how about we have an end of year round up? how is he getting on of tackling all five of them? >> let's mark his homework, shall that one we

shall we? yes. so that one we can tick. he's got that. the next one is growing the economy . next one is growing the economy. well, about a year ago we were forecast to go into a long recession that hasn't happened, but the economy has been flat. this year went down slightly last month, but basically no growth forecast to grow by only nought point seven next year. so one point or half a point rate rise . i wouldn't give him a rise. i wouldn't give him a point for that, to be honest. >> okay. >> okay. >> what's the next one? debt falling as a proportion of gdp ? falling as a proportion of gdp? p it's not i'm afraid, as a proportion of the size of the economy. it's currently 97.8. that's 2.3% higher than october last year. that's the highest level since the early 60s. so no no points there. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and cut the waiting list. the nhs waiting lists. um they've gone down for 40,000 since september. currently 7.71 million people in england

waiting to start routine treatment. but that is up a good bit on a year ago. treatment. but that is up a good bit on a year ago . and in fact, bit on a year ago. and in fact, it's forecast that they will only really start , start to come only really start, start to come down in spring of next three day walkout. >> well, the junior doctors won't help. so that's another nil point. >> not helping though. the health foundation. interestingly, you'd think that health foundation. inte strikesly, you'd think that health foundation. inte strikes would d think that health foundation. inte strikes would d thira that health foundation. inte strikes would d thira huge the strikes would have a huge effect on the waiting list. and that, of course, is what the government say. the health government will say. the health foundation it's only foundation reckon it's only making waiting lists worse by 3. i find difficult to believe, actually. and the final one is stop the boat . stop the boat. >> well, we don't need to go any further on that. that's also a nil point . nil point. >> yeah, but i think in fairness to him and obviously they've got a huge mountain to climb. not many think these flights many people think these flights will to rwanda , but he will ever go to rwanda, but he will ever go to rwanda, but he will say give us a bit of credit . we've got them down from 44,000 last year to 29 this yeah 44,000 last year to 29 this year. we've cut them by a third. it's heading in the right direction now, heading in the right direction and stopping them. long distance them. there's a long distance

between they they between those, but they they will mark themselves more leniently than than you've just done. martin. so if we say that's one out of five, it's not quite merry christmas to mr sunak. >> tough new year ahead as well. first on the on the on the pecking order is going to be that rwanda bill. it limped through end a lot of through in the end a lot of abstinence as it were unusual at christmas . do abstinence as it were unusual at christmas. do you think it's going to get a rough ride in the new year? and particularly catherine, echoes of brexit in the house of lords definitely going to get a rough ride. >> i mean, even if he can sort of unite the two sides who are seem to be irrevocably split on the conservative party the erg, the conservative party the erg, the new conservatives, etc, who think it doesn't go far enough versus the one nation conservatives who don't want it to go any further, even if he can getit to go any further, even if he can get it through the commons , can get it through the commons, it's going to become more mired in difficulties in the house of lords, where the government has a majority, even if it doesn't have a majority, even if it gets through that potential

difficulties in the courts , um, difficulties in the courts, um, and the election in, who knows, may i would think it's unlikely. that they might be tempted. i think more likely, probably in the autumn. of course, there's also small the also the small matter of the american election. they won't want with that. but one want to clash with that. but one thing that was confirmed, the prime minister had political journalists at drinks the other night that we have all been spared the horror of a january 2025 election, which they could if they'd been really desperate to have taken it all the way to january 2025. so we won't be coming out in the depths of a freezing january. that's something . something. >> and that presidential election, of course , is november election, of course, is november the 5th. so it could be prior to that sort of late september , that sort of late september, could be december, they could go longer they longer terms. you think they would terms with the would go longer terms with the economy? hopefully for them getting better and there's more chances , even though they might chances, even though they might be of those be distant for some of those flights rwanda. flights leaving to rwanda. >> would think wouldn't >> you would think so, wouldn't you? , obviously in the you? i mean, obviously in the spnng you? i mean, obviously in the spring it tie the spring it would tie with the

local the weather's local elections. the weather's getting better when it starts to getting better when it starts to get colder. it's not so nice, but i would the longer but i would think the longer they to in the it tends they have to in the end it tends to the economy , doesn't to be about the economy, doesn't it? immigration are big issue . it? immigration are a big issue. the boats a big issue, but the boats are a big issue, but cost people feeling cost of living, people feeling better off labour are going to run on. do you feel better than 13 years? better off than 13 years when the conservatives years ago when the conservatives came they're pretty came to power? they're pretty sure people don't. so sure that most people don't. so i the longer they go, more i think the longer they go, more tax cuts potentially, and time for us to start to feel the benefits . yes. and let's see how benefits. yes. and let's see how we feel this time next year. let's see who's in number 10 downing street this time next yeah downing street this time next year. catherine force a great cracking start show. cracking start to the show. >> that point, we've >> and on that point, we've heard price of going heard the price of the going down. you feel ready to down. but do you feel ready to splash out the cash this christmas. well let's hear from gb carson. gb news. reporterjack carson. he from christmas he joins us from a christmas market in birmingham. jack, always a pleasure to see you . always a pleasure to see you. um, what's the mood over there at christmas or at the christmas market or people splashing the cash or. there's tight on the there's still a bit tight on the old purse strings. >> well, i think the best

probably words to describe it is cautious optimism. course, cautious optimism. of course, there lots of optimism. the there is lots of optimism. the fact that inflation is coming down now of course, under 4% coming down below what the economists were expecting. they thought it might come down to 4.4, possibly 4.3, to come down to 3.9% is certainly a lot better than people here were expecting. but of course, it is still inflation and particularly food price inflation is one of those things that is still hitting the pockets of people now. it fallen now for eight now. it has fallen now for eight months in a row, and we're getting back to the level that we may this time may last we saw in may this time may last yeah we saw in may this time may last year. so it's dropped down to 9.2, 10.1% in october. 9.2, down from 10.1% in october. so very good news on food inflation because of course people right now at this time of year are going out to get those last minute bits, aren't they, from supermarkets for their from the supermarkets for their christmas they christmas dinner. what are they going on their going to be having on their table? going to be table? they're going to be looking at some looking very carefully at some of things can afford. of the things they can afford. some things they can't some of the things they can't afford. we know that brits afford. now we know that brits are stingy, are being a lot more stingy, aren't. when comes

aren't. and when it comes to what spending, 30% of us what they're spending, 30% of us are going have strict are going to have quite a strict shopping list. according to research, , and just research, this year, and just over of us are also going to over 20% of us are also going to be making the use of all those loyalty schemes the loyalty schemes that the supermarkets have. and some kind of savings vouchers as of savings card vouchers as well, that we do of savings card vouchers as welevery that we do of savings card vouchers as welevery penny that we do of savings card vouchers as welevery penny and1at we do of savings card vouchers as welevery penny and every do of savings card vouchers as welevery penny and every penny get every penny and every penny in our pound. but, um , uh, yeah, in our pound. but, um, uh, yeah, on average, people are spending around £280 less this year on christmas. but what they're spending it on and how they're feeling about prices at the moment, here's what a few people told me in birmingham a little bit earlier on. >> yes, i think everything has gone know, but a gone up, you know, but as a pensioner sort of keeping pensioner we're sort of keeping abreast, and, and abreast, you know, and, and buying things for the family very much normal christmas . very much a normal christmas. >> everything's up the food and everything. i mean, for instance , we like cream cheese and at one time i used to be able to buy it for 50, £0.60. now it's nearly £2 for a small part of cream cheese and anything to do with christmas. the turkeys, the meat. um it's well above what it should be, to be honest.

>> i mean, we have for the last couple of years, we've been doing the secret santa because it's such a big family that you couldn't afford . now to couldn't really afford. now to buy each individual a present. >> so we do we do the secret santas away now . santas away now. >> and thank you for that . >> and thank you for that. update from birmingham, jack carson . and we have some carson. and we have some breaking news for you now. two teenagers have been found guilty of murdering transgender teenager brianna gay. the 16 year old was stabbed 28 times in a park in cheshire this february , and our north—west of england reporter sophie reaper is out outside manchester crown court. sophie the jury didn't take long to decide on this one. what's the latest? >> not at all, martin. they were only sent out this morning at just after 10 am. and after four hours and 40 minutes, they have already returned with those verdicts. finding girl x and boy y both guilty of the murder of transgender transgender teenager brianna j. back in february of

this year. they found her on unanimous verdicts, meaning all 12 of the jurors agreed with that decision. after a relatively short amount of time . relatively short amount of time. considering the 18 days of this trial, now , justice yip, who is trial, now, justice yip, who is the judge who's been presiding over this court case once the verdicts had been delivered, she dismissed the jury, thanking them for their time and their diligence, telling them that they would now be given a pass from future jury duty. she then addressed the two defendants, girl and boy y, telling them that they wouldn't be sentenced this week because she needed time to consider all of the things in this case, for example, the fact that they are both at the currently in the pubuc both at the currently in the public eye, anonymous due to their age. so she did say, though, that as she said, as you're probably both aware , for you're probably both aware, for you're probably both aware, for you both will be receiving a life sentence that shouldn't come as news to them. but she said what she does need time to

consider is how many years before they can be considered for release. now she hasn't confirmed a date. she said she's waiting to find a date that is suitable all now. we have heard this news in literally the last ten minutes, but cps, the crown prosecution service, have already released a statement. i'll just read little bit i'll just read you a little bit of girl x and boy of it. they say, girl x and boy y appear to have been a deadly influence on each other and turned what may have started out as dark fantasies about murder into a reality. this has been a difficult prosecution, not least because two very young people were on trial for the most serious offence known to criminal law. it is involved using a number of measures to ensure that the defendants could participate fully in the trial and enable them to give their evidence. they then went on to say the crown prosecution service would like to thank the family of briannaj service would like to thank the family of brianna j for the courage and dignity they have shown throughout these proceedings . we hope today's proceedings. we hope today's verdict brings some solace and

our thoughts and sympathies remain with them at this time. now, of course, brianna's family have been here at have been present here at manchester crown court throughout the course of this trial, which began in november and has only just come in today. we are expecting we could potentially hear from brianna's mother shortly on the court steps, giving her reaction . steps, giving her reaction. we're not we're not 100% on that yet. but if we do get that, we'll be bringing you all the latest. but just to reiterate once again, girl x and boy y who were standing charged with the murder of brianna j, have now both been found guilty by jury here at manchester crown court . here at manchester crown court. >> okay. sophie reaper outside manchester crown court. thank you for that update. and now let's remind ourselves of the details of this case. a young life extinguished far too soon. >> trans gender teenager brianna j was killed in february of this yeah j was killed in february of this year, stabbed 28 times with a hunting knife after footage captured by a video doorbell

shows the 16 year old leaving her home on the afternoon of her death . cctv then shows her death. cctv then shows her catching the bus towards culcheth to linear park, where hours later, she would lose her life. what do you want from twice when do you want it? no news of brianna's death sparked outcry by with thousands of people gathering at vigils held across the uk. the following month, people lined the streets in warrington to pay their respects as brianna's friend and family prepared to say a final goodbye in november. the trial of two teenagers known as girl x and boy y, began at manchester crown court. their identities protected for legal reasons . protected for legal reasons. they stood accused of brianna's murder, both pleading not guilty and blaming the other for her death . throughout the trial, the death. throughout the trial, the jury death. throughout the trial, the jury of seven men and five women

heard various pieces of evidence from the written plan of action found in girl x's bedroom to the text exchanges between her and boy y in the messages that girl x suggests killing brianna at 6 pm. the following day, same . i pm. the following day, same. i don't want to wait . i pm. the following day, same. i don't want to wait. i just pm. the following day, same. i don't want to wait . i just want don't want to wait. i just want her to die . i want to see pure her to die. i want to see pure horror on her face and hear her scream in pain. she later typed , scream in pain. she later typed, i want to stab her at least once, even if she's dead. just cos it's fun lol. the planning then continued with boy y suggesting let's have two words, one for getting the knife ready and another to stab . the jury and another to stab. the jury also heard the 999 call made by also heard the 999 call made by a dog walker who'd discovered brianna's body in the park in the call, a distressed catherine vyse can be heard describing how the teenager had been attacked and was covered in blood. she

later tells the operator i don't think there's anything you can do for her. throughout the course of the trial, brianna's family attended the court in manchester, hoping each day for justice sophie reaper. gb news. >> now you're watching and listening to gb news. coming up, the colorado state supreme court has voted to block former president donald trump from standing in the state primary for the next presidential election . but will they succeed? election. but will they succeed? i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel . late . britain's news channel. late. >> get up this christmas eve and christmas day. >> wake up with gb news for the finest festive start to your christmas for you and the whole family christmas breakfast on gb news, christmas eve and christmas day from 6 am. >> i got you this. christmas day from 6 am. >> i got you this . oh good. >> i got you this. oh good. >> i got you this. oh good. >> okay. um i got you a little

something . ah something. ah >> ah, sure. it's nice

>> the camilla tominey show sunday mornings from 930 on gb news . news. >> welcome back. it's 328. you're watching and listening to martin daubney on gb news bringing you all the latest until 6 pm. now the colorado state supreme court has voted to block former president donald

trump from standing in the state primary for the next presidential election, which, of course, is in november next yeah course, is in november next year. the court gave a majority vote after ruling that trump's involvement in the january 6th capitol hill riots barred him from electoral office. what a circus it's going to be. and joining me now to talk about thatis joining me now to talk about that is gb news reporter charlie peters. charlie so this is an unprecedented legal move . um, unprecedented legal move. um, the question is, has it got any teeth or is it yet another show trial? >> well, it's a step up from the previous assessment made legally here, because a lower court in colorado did agree with what the state supreme court has said, which is that donald trump engagedin which is that donald trump engaged in insurrection by virtue of his support for the so—called capitol hill riots in early 2021. however what the lower court said was that this could not apply to prohibiting him from taking the office of the united states under the 14th amendment of the constitution . amendment of the constitution. however, the supreme court of the state has voted 4 to 3 in

favour of upgrading that assessment to prohibit him from being on the state primary. those pre—election elections that take place in the year of a presidential election . so as it presidential election. so as it stands on january the 5th, his name will not be on the ballot before they send out overseas voting on opportunities to soldiers or americans who live outside of colorado overseas. however for the trump campaign is going to appeal this decision in the supreme court of at the federal level in washington, d.c, where they have a 6 to 3 advantage in terms of the conservative sway. and so what we're hearing today in the reaction from this decision last night in the states is a very bullish, uh, republican side, essentially saying this isn't going to work. this is un—american. this is a lawfare scheme . and i think a lot of scheme. and i think a lot of democrats not really being so brash about this decision because they realise that not only is it almost certainly going to fail at the supreme court level and the decision will be overturned, they also recognise it's not recognise that it's not necessarily particularly good

politics , as the trump politics because, as the trump campaign has always thrived when it's been able to posit itself as being trump versus the people choice, trump versus the swamp, trump versus the legal system. and he's saying to them, whose side are you on? and if you believe the polls, they're very much behind him. yeah. >> and wasn't shy about >> and he wasn't shy about coming forward . he said crooked coming forward. he said crooked joe and the far left lunatic six are scared of him. um, biden is are scared of him. um, biden is a threat to democracy. they're weaponizing this because we're beating them so badly in the polls, and it brings into sharp focus , charlie, the political focus, charlie, the political nature of the american justice system, a bunch of democrats vote this through . it will get vote this through. it will get voted down by a of voted down by a bunch of republican . it will come to republican. it will come to nought. most likely. so the trump train will roll on and as it stands at the moment, this would probably help him. yeah. >> as it stands, it probably would. and in fact, there is a suggestion from some of the jury ists this decision ists who made this decision in colorado yesterday that they also some concerns also stand by some concerns being shared by more

conservative elements of the american political system. last night, one of the dissenting judges in colorado , actually judges in colorado, actually going so far as to say that he could not support this decision, going so far as to say that he couldifiol support this decision, going so far as to say that he couldif donald ort this decision, going so far as to say that he couldif donald trump decision, going so far as to say that he couldif donald trump isecision, going so far as to say that he couldif donald trump is guilty, even if donald trump is guilty of insurrection because they have due process . and he used have due process. and he used those words very deliberately because, of course, as it stands, donald trump has not actually been convicted of anything with regards to those capitol riots and so to capitol hill riots and so to preclude him from standing in the state primary, they say, is an undemocratic decision. the trump campaign says it's un—american , an and they will un—american, an and they will now fear that similar legal efforts could take place in other states. this could be a blueprint for more swing states where trump needs to win in 2020. he lost colorado by 13 points. it's highly unlikely he'll overturn that next year, but in florida, georgia, north carolina and michigan, these are states where he currently has a lead. but similarly , efforts lead. but similarly, efforts could take place. they've already thrown one out in minnesota. but could it happen again? that's the big fear. and this trump campaign could even

if they expect victory, get bogged down in lawsuits after lawsuits , a fight in every lawsuits, a fight in every capital supreme court and find themselves in a lot of legal bother. >> the process is the punishment is often the way. but here's a guy that turned a police mug shot into a fund raiser. here's a guy who's turned every indictment against him. so far into lengthening his his lead in the polls , even if they if this the polls, even if they if this went ahead, he probably would still win the nationwide primary . election. colorado is just one state after all. so this morning it's been interesting to hear how little we've actually heard from the democratic side on this issue, because i think there is some, recognising . some, uh, recognising. situations there that they realise that this could actually split the understanding between donald trump and the legal system even further . system even further. >> they could see this as trump versus the swamp, as he often puts it. and when that framing is put forward, i think the democrats are another, more

liberal minded people realise that this perspective only goes to aid the republicans. >> johnny peters superb update and whatever you think about trump , it's going be the trump, it's going to be the greatest show on earth. and that's next november 5th that's next november the 5th fireworks. indeed and there's that's next november the 5th firevmore indeed and there's that's next november the 5th firev more to jeed and there's that's next november the 5th firev more to comeind there's that's next november the 5th firevmore to come stillhere's lots more to come still now between 4:00, junior between now and 4:00, junior doctors are on a three day walkout with less than a week to go christmas with the go until christmas with the british medical association , the british medical association, the union representing the strikers saying the government has still not presented a credible offer that could end the action. but first, here's your latest news headunes first, here's your latest news headlines with polly middlehurst i >> -- >> martin thank you. let's update you with the latest top stories. we start with some breaking news the last few breaking news in the last few minutes. 216 year olds have been found guilty of murdering a transgender teenager. found guilty of murdering a transgender teenager . this has transgender teenager. this has happened a short time ago . happened a short time ago. brianna gay was found with fatal stab wounds in a park in

there's of a strain on there's much more of a strain on there's much more of a strain on the nhs. there's concern that you're this strike action you're doing this strike action now this the nhs under. now when this the nhs is under. so strain and this is what so much strain and this is what his reply to me . his reply was to me. >> so patients are suffering all year round and every winter we hear the same horror stories coming out time and time again. and the fact of the matter is, the government has done nothing for the last 15 years to solve those winter crises. they seem to think that cutting our pay is going to make things better. but invariably it always makes things worse. i think the government need to recognise that if it's true that they have a final offer to give , then they a final offer to give, then they need to give it in order to avert this strike action. there's no reason for them to hold it back if they think that they can solve this strike action and resolve everything for doctors and patients alike, then they need to start putting their words into . action. their words into. action. >> so i've covered a few of

these picket lines now with junior doctors going on strike, and every time i've covered one, they've all said same thing they've all said the same thing that getting that pay rise is essential reasons, one essential for many reasons, one of being the of which being they want the profession look attract profession to look to attract more doctors to the nhs more junior doctors to the nhs because they say many are because they say so many are leaving to go elsewhere or abroad they get more abroad where they can get more money, they're under strain money, they're under less strain and also because and they said also because there's so few, there's too little in the way of junior doctors in the nhs at the moment. so those that are working are under strain. they get burnt out. and so it's just a never ending cycle. they said that to stop. so the next that needs to stop. so the next strike action will be on the 3rd of that's six of january. so that's for six days. that's england. and days. that's in england. and also in wales also junior doctors in wales have also voted to on a three have also voted to go on a three day strike from the 15th of january. >> okay. lisa hartle outside university college hospital . university college hospital. thank you for that. update. 14 years ago, my little boy was born in that place. they do amazing work. you're amazing work. now you're watching listening to gb watching and listening to gb news coming up. we'll be discussing they discussing scotland after they have the new tax

have introduced the new tax bracket . could the latest move bracket. could the latest move from the nationalist government force people over the border into england? this and much much more. just in a moment i'm martin daubney on gb news britain's news channel .

me, michael portillo, gb news. >> britain's news channel . >> britain's news channel. >> britain's news channel. >> welcome back. it's 347 now england goalkeeper for the

lionesses mary earps has been crowned the bbc sports personality of the year . crowned the bbc sports personality of the year. she's followed in the footsteps of arsenal forward beth mead, who of course win the prestigious gong last year , earps was gong last year, earps was england's stand out player as the lionesses reached a first world cup final in the summer. but some have argued the goalie shouldn't have won the prestigious award, considering the lost in the final the lionesses lost in the final against spain and i hasten to point out, didn't even qualify for the olympics . now let's be for the olympics. now let's be clear this is a public vote . the clear this is a public vote. the people voted for this . i'm a big people voted for this. i'm a big fan of public votes. as anybody who's followed my career in brexit will empathise with, but a lot of people have been saying, is this a token award? is it a touch woke? and the saying that because even though she won the gold and gloves as the standout player in the tournament, england failed at the final hurdle, but then

again, so did the lads team. many many times before . also, many many times before. also, there was a big cry, a big hue and cry because that goalkeeper jersey, you can see there that nike goalkeeper jersey wasn't marketed and there was a big backlash about that. 170,000 people signed a petition against nike. in the end, they did release it. and that shirt, £99, sold out within days. so she was a wronged woman before this vote. and some people think that she got this gong as a reward of it. now, stuart broad, the legendary england cricketer, of course, retired a shock retirement this year and in his final test, he not only, um, smashed a six with his final bat of that test, he also took the final wicket in that test, taking him to 604. career test wickets. a lot of people think him winning would have been a

fitting swansong for a victory . fitting swansong for a victory. an victorious cricketing career. now both of them are nottingham forest fans are declare so am i for my sins. so what do you think? did she deserve it? was mary a worthy recipient or was this wokeism gone mad? later in the show , we're going to have the show, we're going to have a bit of a ding dong about this. don't forget it's a public vote and therefore it wasn't a fix. don't start crying that. but was stuart broad? even ronnie stuart broad? maybe even ronnie o'sullivan ? were they o'sullivan? were they more worthy recipients ? let me know. worthy recipients? let me know. vaiews@gbnews.com i read out the best comments so long as you keep them clean. now could this lead to scots moving south because humza yousafs government has announced a new tax bracket of £0.45 in the pound for top earners, it means higher earners in scotland face paying over £5,000 more in income tax next year than if they lived in england . now scotland's finance england. now scotland's finance secretary says the money raised

will reduce cuts to public services and fund a council tax freeze. but will it force a brain drain south of the border ? brain drain south of the border? is it signs that scotland couldn't run a bath, let alone its own economy? well, i'm joined now by former member of scottish parliament brian monteith. brian it's always a pleasure. so here we are. scotland has the most punitive tax regime in all of the united kingdom. they've hiked it up. why do you think that is? is it because the country is going bankrupt ? and their only answer bankrupt? and their only answer is to tax people to the hilt ? is to tax people to the hilt? >> well, it's certainly because scotland's government is living beyond its means. >> it has been for a long, long time. it continues to , uh, time. it continues to, uh, campaign for election on the bafis campaign for election on the basis of offering lots of free things , uh, which of course , uh, things, uh, which of course, uh, in many cases , uh, come from in many cases, uh, come from subsidies being transferred from the uk treasury, from other

taxpayers , uh, to fund. but it's taxpayers, uh, to fund. but it's all now catching up with them because they have also in recent years been increasing taxes and, and the expectation of what those revenues would be has not always been met because people change their behaviour and they seek to avoid these higher taxes. and these new tax increases will go the same way. what will happen is people will move out of the scottish tax jurisdiction mostly, i imagine, to england , but also to places to england, but also to places like dubai where there's very little tax paid at all. >> and when you look at the numbers, um, the £0.45 in the pound used to be for people who earned 125,000. it's now been brought down to 75. so it's going to drag a lot more people into that top rate. but it's worth pointing out, brian, that , worth pointing out, brian, that, um, there are only 30,000 scots in top bracket who earn in that top bracket who earn over 150 grand versus the 123,000 earned in london alone.

and surely one of the one of the cardinal errors of governments of history throughout time has been to tax until the pips are squeezed out and people just clear off, they don't stick around and just wait to mop. this up . this up. >> well, you see, you don't have to stop working in scotland and, uh, even to change your tax residency . uh, even to change your tax residency. um, it's uh, even to change your tax residency . um, it's actually residency. um, it's actually easier to commute , uh, in the easier to commute, uh, in the sense of time. it's only 45 minutes to commute from the lovely town of berwick upon tweed to edinburgh. uh and people who are working in the financial sector might well be earning over 125,000 on the top rate and think, well, you know, i'd actually quite like to live in northumbria . i'd like to live in northumbria. i'd like to live in northumbria. i'd like to live in what used to be part of scotland, after all, uh, and, and commute there instead of a longer commute. would you believe , from glasgow to believe, from glasgow to edinburgh ? and if their house edinburgh? and if their house and their that becomes is their

residency in berwick upon tweed . residency in berwick upon tweed. uh, they'd be paying english tax rates, not scottish tax rates , rates, not scottish tax rates, but still be employed in a scottish business. so that's the sort of changes that can happen very easily, never mind moving to london or as i say to dubai, which which will happen . which which will happen. >> and do you think, brian, as an economic model goes, this kind of anti aspiration tax. what does that say about the ambition of the snp to become independent. how they fund a country if they simply tax their best brains out of the country? well i'm against uh , scottish well i'm against uh, scottish independence uh, for a variety of reasons, but one of the things i come across is the idea that it will be some sort of socialist valhalla. >> uh, some sort of, uh, cuba on the north sea or albania on the nonh the north sea or albania on the north sea. well, i'm sorry that will be a disaster. the only possible business model that a scottish independent scotland could have that would work.

would to be singapore in the nonh would to be singapore in the north sea. uh, to actually have low taxes, low regulation , uh, low taxes, low regulation, uh, and actually . and actually. >> okay, brian, i'm afraid we have to leave it there. i have to cut you short. afraid because in the next hour, scotland confirms it will not pass reforms allowing people to change gender the of change gender from the age of 16. be joined a member 16. i'll be joined by a member of the alba party discuss of the alba party to discuss that. martin daubney gb that. i'm martin daubney on gb news, channel news, britain's news channel >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsor of weather on . gb news. >> hello, good afternoon. welcome to your latest gb news weather update from the met office. it will be turning very windy for areas the uk windy for many areas of the uk overnight tonight, and that's as a result of storm pier that's been named by the danish met service as that's where the strongest winds will be. but it's low pressure it's this area of low pressure up to the by iceland that up to the north by iceland that is pier. that will be is storm pier. that will be bringing very strong winds throughout of throughout the second part of the but ahead that the night. but ahead of that we've cloudy and damp

left after the northern ireland troubles . introduced in troubles. introduced in september, the act includes limited immunity from troubles related offences for those who cooperate with a new independent commission. it'll also halt future civil cases and legacy inquests. ireland argues that some detail in the so—called troubles act are incompatible with the uk's obligations under the european convention on human rights. amnesty international has praised the irish government as doing the right thing for troubles victims and lastly, in the united states, donald trump has accused president biden of trying to stop him by any means necessary after he was barred from running for president in the state of colorado. mr trump was addressing a rally in iowa after colorado's supreme court disqualify him over his alleged role in the january 6th us capitol attack. the ruling makes trump the first presidential candidate in us history to be deemed ineligible for the white house. the trump campaign will now ask the us supreme court to

overturn the decision . overturn the decision. >> it's no wonder crooked joe biden and the far left lunatics are desperate to stop us by any means necessary. they're willing to violate the us constitution's at levels never seen before in order to win this election. joe biden is a threat to democracy . biden is a threat to democracy. it's a threat . they're it's a threat. they're weaponizing law enforcement for high level election interference because we're beating them so badly in the polls. >> donald trump speaking in iowa. that's the news on gb news across the uk , on tv, in your across the uk, on tv, in your car, on digital radio and on your smart speaker by saying, play your smart speaker by saying, play gb news this is britain's news channel . news channel. >> thank you pauly. now, as we just heard dramatically, the colorado state supreme court has voted to block former president donald trump from standing in the state's primary for the next presidential election . the

presidential election. the courts gave a majority vote after ruling that trump's involvement in the january 6th capitol hill riots barred him from electoral office. well, joining me now in the studio is gb news reporter charlie peters. charlie here we go again. another dramatic court case. i guess the big question is, is this another show trial? does it have any teeth or is it just using democracy to try and derail the guy they think can beat them next november? >> well, it's been dubbed, hasn't it, as a potential dagger to trump's re—election bids. but so far the mood music has actually rather been. this could end supporting the man end up supporting the man instead. so far, all of his criminal indictments have only served to see donald trump actually rise in the polls after it occurs, as many of his supporters, his base typically see mr trump as the man versus the swamp. the man versus the legal system, and so decisions like last night's in colorado supreme court do further that

image. that vision put forward by the trump campaign and remarkably, he's actually being supported by by some of his rivals in the republican nomination for next year's presidential election . even presidential election. even vivek ramaswamy saying that he will not be on the colorado ballot in march the 5th next yearif ballot in march the 5th next year if this decision is upheld by the supreme court in washington , dc. chris christie, washington, dc. chris christie, probably the most visceral anti—trump republican on that ballot . he's the governor of new ballot. he's the governor of new jersey . he's also said that the jersey. he's also said that the decision is undemocratic and he cannot support it. we haven't heard from ron desantis so far. kind of the lead challenger against donald trump, and it's unsurprising to hear these republicans saying this because he far ahead of the pack. he is so far ahead of the pack. and so this kind of decision keeping him off the polls entirely is for any republican, regardless of who they support in the race, you know, unacceptable . not what they want unacceptable. not what they want to see. regardless because they do think, actually, if this is upheld by the supreme court and it's almost certainly be

it's almost certainly won't be it's almost certainly won't be it could nonetheless rip the bandage off from other states using insurrection as an opportunity to block the republican, the likely republican, the likely republican nominee , from republican nominee, from standing in their own primaries. it's worth bearing in mind that trump hasn't found guilty in any court of his involvement in the january sixth insurrection, and also, the fascinating nature of this is the political backdrop . this is the political backdrop. >> colorado. this was voted through by three democrat judges . so on the basis of that, it is a politically motivated attack. and if it does go to the supreme court, which is what they are saying, it will probably be thrown out because that's controlled by republicans. yes. >> six republican judges on the supreme court in dc, who almost certainly will reject this after a43 vote yesterday in colorado. what was interesting that one of the dissenting judges rejecting the dissenting judges rejecting the move actually said that this needed due process because, as you said, martin, he hasn't actually been found guilty of insurrection . it was a lower insurrection. it was a lower court in colorado that said that

he was an insurrection , but that he was an insurrection, but that didn't prohibit kit donald trump from running for the office of president. this court has reaffirmed that decision and gone a step further . however, gone a step further. however, it's almost certainly the case that the supreme court will deny it although it. the trump campaign, although for their part, they've said that this whole move is a scheme by soros funded left wing activists. they've also pointed out that the campaign group that brought forward the legal charge, which is called citizens for responsibility and ethics in washington, is also funded by liberal donors who support the president. joe biden . so it is president. joe biden. so it is lawfare being termed by the trump campaign and i have to say, democrat voices online today and in the media are being quite quiet about this. i think many people, you know, fighting for the democrats politically and in the media have recognised this development , though this development, though potentially damaging for his vision and his and his image in the american eyes. they see the whole lawfare situation as actually probably being worse

for their brand overall. seeing them as people more engaged in backroom shapps political deals and less about democracy . and less about democracy. >> superb eurybatus thanks for that. lawfare turning into warfare. and joining me now is steve gill, an attorney and former adviser h.w. bush former adviser to the h.w. bush and clinton administrations . and clinton administrations. hello to you, steve. it's always a pleasure to be join you. so here we are again, another legal jamboree, another trial , jamboree, another trial, following in the footsteps of all of those indictments, none of which seem to do any harm whatsoever to donald trump. and he came out fighting. he's come back swinging, crooked joe and the far left lunatics weaponizing democracy as we've beaten them so badly. and the polls . the big question is, polls. the big question is, steve, will this latest legal front make any difference to stopping the trump train ? stopping the trump train? >> and actually also you've had rfk jr running now as an independent because the democrats wouldn't let him run in a fair race against joe biden and ron desantis have now also come out condemning this ruling .

come out condemning this ruling. i was joking with one of my british friends earlier today that this is the greatest assault on democracy we've seen in america since our british cousins burned the white house in 1812. this this in 1812. uh, this this insurrection vision actually came about after our american civil war, when hundreds of thousands were killed in an actual rebellion, a civil war for, uh, that is far cry from what we saw on january 6th. and as you pointed out, donald trump hasn't been convicted of insurrection. he hasn't even been charged . and i think been charged. and i think there's a legitimate legal claim that this would constitute double jeopardy since the trump team was impeached for this, you know, seeming january sixth event and the senate failed to convict. so this would really even be double jeopardy if they proceed in this way. i would agree with your your commentator . this is not going to be upheld by the supreme court. you have seven democrat appointed unelected judges who have done this. uh, other states have rejected it. some other states

are considering it, but at the end of the day, this is something that democrats should be very concerned about because there republican attorney there are 27 republican attorney general out out of 50 states. general out of out of 50 states. they could declare that biden's an insurrectionist and remove him from the ballot tomorrow. and have for tat . and and we could have for tat. and that's not the way you should decide interestingly, decide elections. interestingly, there decrying vladimir putin and president xi and kim jong un in the in the biden white house for doing exactly what they're doing to donald trump. and if, if a world country did if a third world country did this the president of el this as the president of el salvador announced yesterday , salvador announced yesterday, uh, we be decrying them uh, we would be decrying them and would sanctioning them and we would be sanctioning them for doing exactly what the biden team . team is doing. >> steve, two points. firstly um, it was guaranteed to fail at the supreme court. so why go ahead with it? is it just because they think the process is the punishment they want to put that doubt into enough more moderate voters mindsets. there's no smoke without fire. is that the point of this ? is that the point of this? >> i think that's a lot of it's

the same thing with most of these cases. i mean, whether whether they're going after trump for documents that joe biden actually stole and kept in his garage, or whether it's, you know, claiming that mar—a—lago his estate down in florida is only worth million, rather only worth $18 million, rather than the 600 million he claimed you and i could go gather a crew today. we could buy mar a lago for $18 million, if that judge is correct, we'll sell it tomorrow for 600 million and do very, very well. so all these very, very well. so all of these cases are show trials, show cases are show trials, show cases. cases are show trials, show cases . and as you pointed out cases. and as you pointed out earlier, every time they bring another donald trump another one, donald trump goes back polls even more. back up in the polls even more. i think this case, particularly in colorado , is likely to have in colorado, is likely to have a backlash that whether or not they can keep trump off the ballot not, which don't ballot or not, which i don't think i think this is think they can, i think this is going expose democrats going to expose democrats in colorado losses in colorado to losses in congressional potentially congressional races, potentially senate races. house state house and local races. i think they're going to see a backlash in colorado against democrats who are trying to push this down their throats and deprive them of their right vote and of their right to vote and steve, we're seeing on screen

now the merchant guys, the multimillion merchandise multimillion dollar merchandise point of that mug shot. >> you know, here's a guy that turns every attack against him not only into a bump in the polls, but also a bump in the financial donations to his department. it begs the question, steve, why do they keep repeating the same thing and expecting a different outcome? isn't that the definition of insanity ? definition of insanity? >> i think it is insanity. and what you actually have is trump derangement syndrome, where they hate donald trump so much they're really did a story of they're really did a story of the country they're willing to destroy their own credibility because they hate him so much they can't stay , step back they can't stay, step back and realise the real problem realise that the real problem that they're facing is that joe biden plummet in biden continues to plummet in the polls, and they're only possibility of defeating trump is that if trump is not on the ballot, uh, that's not going to work. think every work. and i think again, every time something like this time they do something like this , up time they do something like this , up further in , he just moves up further in the expressed the polls. i've expressed concern that i'm afraid concern before that i'm afraid some politicians in america may

take the continued indictments of trump to heart and think if they'll off liquor they'll go knock off a liquor store convenience store, store or a convenience store, you convicted, they'll you know, get convicted, they'll they'll in the polls. i they'll bump up in the polls. i don't that's the right don't think that's the right lesson. this guy defies gravity in politics, and he is a one in a millennia politician in his ability to do that. and steve, we saw in the last general election the uk that jeremy corbyn was the conservatives extra man on the bench. >> and in many senses, joe biden is trump's best asset. do you think briefly, there's any chance that biden will step down? or do you think it's going to be a rerun of last time? biden v trump? >> you know, i was joking earlier that, uh, we're facing a situation where one guy is facing sentences and the other guy can't form sentences , and guy can't form sentences, and that's what we're choosing. uh, right now, i don't think. and i haven't thought for a long time that joe biden makes it to the to the starting gate. i think at some point, the democrats and whether it's his poll numbers, some point, the democrats and whether it's his inability1bers, some point, the democrats and whether it's his inability tors, whether it's his inability to communicate or or lead, i think

they've got to remove him. the challenge is how do they do that and who do they put in his place? kamala harris poll numbers are worse. uh, nobody else the sidelines. kind else is on the sidelines. kind of like , uh, a fellow on the of like, uh, a fellow on the pitch waiting to in score pitch waiting to go in and score that soccer goal . they that winning soccer goal. they don't bench and i think don't have a bench and i think that's their problem. why? they're stuck with him. although i can ride him i don't think they can ride him all to victory. all the way to a victory. >> and you think looking >> and do you think it's looking almost that trump will almost certain that trump will get through this ? he'll be on get through this? he'll be on the ticket. he'll be the number one. way , way ahead one. he's way, way, way ahead in the but been the polls. but it's been interesting , steve, that interesting, steve, to see that even some his rivals on this even some of his rivals on this ticket in colorado are saying they won't stand. so there's some solidarity even amongst trump's opponents. >> well, and i think that's a very wise move on on their part. if you're seeing embracing what this outrageous court has done, you're going to hurt your own credibility . you're going to hurt your own credibility. i think you're going to hurt your own credibility . i think they're far credibility. i think they're far enough maybe some enough behind that. maybe some of manoeuvring for of them may be manoeuvring for a vice presidential at vice presidential slot, uh, at this at this point, perhaps, vivek, especially , uh, but i vivek, especially, uh, but i think, uh , that they're just

think, uh, that they're just seeing the tea leaves, seeing the poll and republicans and i think fair minded democrats are outraged at this, you know, legal scholars on both sides of the recognise what this legal scholars on both sides of theand recognise what this legal scholars on both sides of theand certainly se what this legal scholars on both sides of theand certainly i; what this legal scholars on both sides of theand certainly i think: this legal scholars on both sides of theand certainly i think thes is. and certainly i think the voters in colorado and around the see same the country will see the same thing again. the bizarre thing is that you have , um, you is that while you have, um, you know, zelenskyy in, in know, president zelenskyy in, in ukraine cancelling elections , ukraine cancelling elections, you know, cancelling opposition political parties, cancelling journalists , you know, journalists, you know, cancelling the russian orthodox church , that's the democracy church, that's the democracy we're in america told we're defending. and it looks like they're providing it right here. you know, just following his blueprint states . blueprint in the united states. >> steve geller, always >> well, steve geller, always appreciate your superb analysis. and gonna be and i hope there's gonna be lots, lots more of it coming up before november. sure be before next november. sure to be the great show on earth. thank you on gb news. you forjoining us on gb news. we'll have lots more on that story. 5:00. and story. of course, at 5:00. and there's coverage on there's plenty of coverage on our website gb news dot com. and you've to it the you've helped to make it the fastest growing national news website in the country. so thank you . now you're you very much. now you're watching listening to gb

distressing cases the crown prosecution service has had to deal with the planning, the violence . and the age of the violence. and the age of the killers is beyond belief. brianna . was subjected to a brianna. was subjected to a frenzied and ferocious attack and was stabbed 28 times in . and was stabbed 28 times in. broad daylight in a public park. her legs . and boy, why appear to her legs. and boy, why appear to have been a deadly influence on one another, and turned what might have started out as dark fantasies about murder into a reality . the pages and fantasies about murder into a reality. the pages and pages of whatsapp messages between the two planning and plotting to kill people, talking of murder, torture and cruelty were very difficult to read. the message provided a terrifying insight into the minds of the two defendants. however they also provided us with detailed

planning of the attack and the attempts to cover it up . the attempts to cover it up. the crown prosecution service authorised a charge . of murder authorised a charge. of murder for both of the defendants. they were both equally responsible in planning the killing and carrying it out in the trial. the defendants tried to blame each other to absolve themselves . the jury has clearly seen their explanations for the lies that they were. this has been a difficult prosecution , not least difficult prosecution, not least because of the two very young people that were on trial for the most serious offence known in criminal law. it has involved using a number of measures to ensure that the defendants could participate fully in the trial and enable them to give their evidence . the crown prosecution evidence. the crown prosecution service would like to thank the family of brianna for the courage and dignity that they

have shown throughout these proceedings . we hope today's proceedings. we hope today's verdict brings some solace and our thoughts and sympathies remain with them at this difficult time . difficult time. okay moving statements. >> indeed. there outside manchester crown court . were manchester crown court. were first heard from the police and then we heard from brianna's mother , esther, who said to know mother, esther, who said to know how scared she must have been would haunt me forever. she was betrayed by a girl she thought was a friend , but seeing neither was a friend, but seeing neither display an ounce of remorse, i've lost all sympathy for the two. convict of the murder. thank you for the jury for making the right decision . making the right decision. society is now a safer place . society is now a safer place. and she thanked those who found

brianna safe in the know. in the last moments of her life that she had found kindness meant a lot to her. we then heard from father peter spooner, talked of brianna's cheeky giggle. i knew she'd be a star. i looked into her eyes and they she shone back at me . my hope. my heart bleeds at me. my hope. my heart bleeds every day for the guilt i feel . every day for the guilt i feel. it breaks me every day. i wish i'd been there to protect her. okay . our north west of i'd been there to protect her. okay. our north west of england reporter sophie reaper is out. manchester crown outside manchester crown outside manchester crown outside manchester crown court now for a full reaction . sophie um, just full reaction. sophie um, just incredibly moving testimonies there from the parents. um, esther and peter. >> absolutely . of course, just >> absolutely. of course, just an hour and a half ago , they had an hour and a half ago, they had it confirmed to them that the two defendants on trial here at manchester court, girl manchester crown court, girl x and boy y, were indeed guilty of

the murder of their daughter, brianna jay . the murder of their daughter, brianna jay. it's incredibly moving scenes , a huge gathering moving scenes, a huge gathering of both press and members of the pubuc of both press and members of the public who stopped in silence to hear from cps , from the senior hear from cps, from the senior investigating officer and from both peter and esther. they're both peter and esther. they're both both of whom have been here present at manchester crown court in the courtroom for the duration of this trial . of duration of this trial. of course, nigel parr was the one who spoke first. the senior investigating officer, uh, he talks about x and y, specifically . of course, their specifically. of course, their identity is currently concealed due to legal reasons. he talks about their obsession with murder. he said that their only motivation in killing brianna was to experience what it would be like. just take that in. how horrifying that is, that that that 215 year olds would go to such lengths. he then thanks the family for their their help, their assistance and their their

respect throughout this trial. and of course, in the investigation leading up to the trial. he also thanked the members the community in members of the community in culture. of course, we know brianna lost. her life in colchis linear park in warrington. um, he thanks members of that . community for members of that. community for coming together and being so supportive, but also for working so close and diligently with the police on this, providing cctv footage helps them build footage which helps them build their course, then we their case. of course, then we heard brianna's heard from both brianna's parents, and peter. parents, esther and peter. incredibly moving things that that they both said. of course , that they both said. of course, esther talking about her daughter , recalling what she was daughter, recalling what she was like , funny, witty and careless . like, funny, witty and careless. she said that their house now feels empty without her. of course , it was only ten months course, it was only ten months ago that they lost their daughter, so it must still feel incredibly fresh and i'm sure for years come , they still for years to come, they still will the house feels will feel that the house feels incredibly empty without her. she then spoke about the defendants x and y. she said that the start of the trial, she

did feel some sympathy for them , did feel some sympathy for them, knowing that they had ruined their own lives as well as hers, but as today, when we saw the defendants reaction to the verdict, she said she's lost all sympathy for them because they just showed no remorse whatsoever. and she said she's glad they will spend so many years prison from the years in prison away from the rest of society. peter as well , rest of society. peter as well, commenting on his daughter, knowing that, saying he knew she would be a star. these are just it's such a moving, moving testament to brianna. in contrast to the most horrendous, uh, verdict here today, that x and y are guilty of the murder of brianna jay. >> okay, sophie reaper, thank you for that . update outside you for that. update outside manchester crown court. very very moving case indeed . now very moving case indeed. now back to where we were before that. breaking news uk in relation unexpectedly failed to 3.9% this morning. and that's according to new data from the ons . and joining me again is ons. and joining me again is greg marsh, consumer finance expert at and ceo of nous, a household money saving tool. so

greg, where we were a minute ago is this merry christmas from mr sunak and mr hunt or is it thin gruel ? well in actual fact gruel? well in actual fact things are still getting pricier, just not as quickly as before . before. >> well yes, things are still getting more expensive. don't forget falling inflation doesn't mean falling prices . it's just mean falling prices. it's just that the rate at which prices are rising is falling. if that makes sense. look, this is good news. let's not beat about the bush. we've seen headline inflation peak in the double digits. brutal year digits. it's been a brutal year for millions of uk households, on of an even tougher year on top of an even tougher year pn0h on top of an even tougher year prior. so for many, this is prior. uh so for many, this is finally some good news. but by no means cause to celebrate too much . uh, i think behind the much. uh, i think behind the headuneis much. uh, i think behind the headline is some slightly more equivocal news. the headline price of inflation, cpi number, that's the number that you announced has dropped from 4.6 to 3.9. um, that's trailing view. >> so that's what's happened over the last 12 months behind thatis over the last 12 months behind that is so—called core

inflation, which is the rate at which the prices of things, excluding food and fuel have risen. >> and that is slightly less positive news. so it has also fallen, but it's still above 5, 5.1% core inflation number. what that number tells us is that businesses are still expecting pnces businesses are still expecting prices to rise, and they're passing those rising prices on in respect of wage increases and other factors. while that core inflation number remains above 5% and crucially, a long way above 2, which, of course is the bank of england's inflation target , it's unlikely to bank of england's inflation target, it's unlikely to mean that we see interest rate cuts in the immediate tum . in the immediate tum. >> what the markets are expecting as a result of today's news and other generally more positive economic news over the last few weeks, is that by the second half of next year, we might start to see interest rates come down. the moment there are a 15 year high of just over 5, 5.25, if that indeed

does start to happen, then that's good news for mortgage holders. >> it's good news for those with credit card debt. >> it's good news for any of us who need borrow have who need to borrow money or have outstanding debts until interest rates the inflation rates come down, the inflation news today is good news, but it is unfortunately not an excuse to break open the champagne for anyone who can still afford champagne after the expensive last few months we've all lived through. >> okay, well , greg moorish, >> okay, well, greg moorish, let's keep the champagne on ice for now. but thank you very much for now. but thank you very much for ending on a nice, positive note. and thanks for bearing with now this week with us. now earlier this week in article , former in a telegraph article, former secretary for defence secretary of state for defence ben wallace out about the ben wallace spoke out about the israel—hamas war not only did he compare the conflict to the actions of the ira, but he's been slammed by critics for potentially stoking anti—semitism . well, joining me anti—semitism. well, joining me now is former british army commander, colonel richard kemp, who has been very critical of mr wallace . colonel kemp's always a wallace. colonel kemp's always a pleasure to have you on the show . so ben wallace's comments ,

. so ben wallace's comments, what's your take on them ? what's your take on them? >> thank you. it's a it's a pleasure to join you as well. >> i think, um, ben wallace has made a pretty outspoken attack against the idf. >> uh, the way they're conducting the war in gaza in particular, he's accused them of, um, of disproportionate attacks of indiscriminate attacks of indiscriminate attacks of indiscriminate attacks of collective punishment i >> -- >> all of these things are very, very serious accusations, and none of them are true from my perspective anyway. >> and i don't think ben wallace has anything in his article that backsit has anything in his article that backs it up. >> i do believe, however , that >> i do believe, however, that okay, it's one thing to give a perhaps an unjustified insult to an ally in that way. >> he was the defence secretary . >> he was the defence secretary. he's no longer but his words still carry weight. one of the problems is that if it not only insults an ally , it also, um, insults an ally, it also, um, gives succour, i think, to hamas, it gives hope to hamas that people with very influential voices are hearing their side of the argument.

influential voices are hearing their side of the argument . and their side of the argument. and he basically is put over there perspective and even more seriously than that, perhaps in the uk , accusations of this the uk, accusations of this sort, which are false help to fuel anti—semitic attacks against jews. we've already seen far too much of this on the streets of london. protests pro—hamas anti—israel protests and many jews, certainly jews that i know living in increased state of fear because of it. and for a former defence secretary to say that these people are right in their, their characterisation of israel as war criminals just fuels that. >> and you also, um, took umbrage with the fact he compared the situation in gaza to the situation in northern ireland during the troubles. and of course, you're a highly decorated serving member of the armed forces during that period of british history . why was he of british history. why was he wrong on that point? two well, it's an entirely different situation. >> there is absolutely no comparison between gaza and

northern ireland. just one reason for that is that northern ireland was always part of the uk . it was. it was under uk uk. it was. it was under uk police and military and security jurisdiction permanently. it never wasn't. there was always a security force presence in northern ireland. and that of course , although the campaign course, although the campaign was very difficult, it wasn't like fighting a foreign country and fighting a foreign country is exactly what israel is doing in gaza. israel left gaza in 2005. since then, it's been developed with a military capability equivalent to a foreign country. and the second thing i think is that the, the ira , he suggests that israel ira, he suggests that israel should be focusing on, um, on building hearts and minds inside gaza to so, so as to not fuel the support for hamas and compares the situation in northern ireland to that very , northern ireland to that very, very different situation. the

ira never had the overwhelming support of the nationalist community in northern ireland, in gaza , hamas has the in gaza, hamas has the absolutely overwhelming support of the vast majority of the total population. so we're looking at a completely different situation . and while different situation. and while he compares gaza and northern ireland, he he doesn't give any solution as to the way that the idf should operate. and this is very common among people who are critical of israel. and everyone's got a right to be critical of israel. and many people should be critical of israel. i am in some respects, but but let's give a solution. if you're going to say they're committing war crimes while they're doing something completely wrong, tell completely wrong, let's tell them should doing completely wrong, let's tell theand should doing completely wrong, let's tell theand he should doing completely wrong, let's tell theand he doesn't. uld doing completely wrong, let's tell theand he doesn't. and doing completely wrong, let's tell theand he doesn't. and i doing it. and he doesn't. and i haven't any of the other haven't heard any of the other critics doing so either. >> kemp, i'm >> and colonel kemp, i'm considering the gravitas of these comments . do you considering the gravitas of these comments. do you think mr wallace owes an apology to israel and indeed to the british jewish . community jewish. community >> i don't know whether an apology will make any difference

now. i think the damage has been done. it will be seized on. it has seized on by many has been seized on by many people. think i just think people. uh, i think i just think it's irresponsible. it's grossly irresponsible. and i be more i think that he should be more careful he says in the careful of what he says in the future, that goes not just future, and that goes not just for for other for him, but for other commentators and i even commentators as well. and i even extended although rishi sunak, for example, and david cameron have both supportive of have both been supportive of israel in war. they've also israel in this war. they've also made some criticisms , such as or made some criticisms, such as or not criticisms , but observations not criticisms, but observations such as israel should adhi for to the laws of war, israel should try to minimise civilian casualties. now they're doing that already , and both cameron that already, and both cameron and sunak know that. they know very well that's the case. and they say this to appease their anti—israel constitutions, electorates or other constituents. um but it is also damaging because it saying that suggests that it is true. uh, and fuels anti—semitic hate in britain. >> okay. we have to leave it there. thank you very much, colonel richard kemp, for joining us on the show. with your full and frank words.

always appreciated. now, the scottish has scottish government has abandoned and its appeal against the blocking of its controversial legislation, which would for would have made it easier for people to change gender from the age of 16. yousaf age of 16. humza yousaf administration took downing street to court. of course, after holyroods gender recognition reforms were blocked . but rishi sunak scottish secretary argued the proposed changes would have had a negative impact on uk wide equality laws . well, i'm joined equality laws. well, i'm joined now by alba party msp ash regan , now by alba party msp ash regan, who's been a long time campaigner on this issue. thank you very much for joining us campaigner on this issue. thank you very much forjoining us on you very much for joining us on the show , ash. so a victory for the show, ash. so a victory for common sense at long last. >> good evening. yes. so it seems for now a victory for common sense . common sense. >> but i would just point out that for the moment it's quite a complicated situation. this has never happened before , nor never happened before, nor obviously this is the first use of a section 35, and the bill hasn't received royal assent. so it's effectively sort of sitting there, not quite ready. it can't

be implemented , but it would be implemented, but it would need to be in order to be killed completely, which is what many people would like to see. they would like to see this bill never to be implemented because it doesn't command support never to be implemented because it the ;n't command support never to be implemented because it the public,|mand support never to be implemented because it the public, it and support never to be implemented because it the public, it would support never to be implemented because it the public, it would needport never to be implemented because it the public, it would need tot of the public, it would need to be withdrawn. of the public, it would need to be withyscottish government >> the scottish government are not do that. >> they are saying that they will leave the bill sitting there where is the hope there where it is in the hope that government and that a new government and i assume potentially a assume they potentially mean a labour a labour government, might take a different and different view on this and unblock law. so that it unblock the law. so that it could be implemented . now, could be implemented. now, i think this is probably the worst piece of legislation in the history of devolution, so i don't think they should even be considering doing that. they need to set out very clearly that there will not be implementing this bill, because it does not protect the dignity, the privacy and the safety of women and girls . women and girls. >> ash, why is it that if you if you say 0.5% of the population is trans ? and i think that's is trans? and i think that's being optimistic. is trans? and i think that's being optimistic . we know some being optimistic. we know some of the questionnaires are flawed, that would equate to

about 26,000 people in scotland. that's a maximum versus 2.8 million women. why did the snp choose this hill to die . on? choose this hill to die. on? >> honestly, i couldn't answer that question for you. >> it remains a complete mystery to me. >> but you're right. i think there definitely was a failure. both in terms of the legislative process and a failure on the part of the scottish government to listen to and engage with the concerns that were put forward by women's rights campaigners who have done a power of work on this in scotland, as you'll probably be aware in alerting the public and trying to alert the public and trying to alert the government to the dangers that were inherent in gender self—id and ash , you talked self—id and ash, you talked about devolution here as part of the equation . the equation. >> why do you think this was really about trans rights all along, or was it about the scottish, the holyrood parliament, the snp trying to devolve and use legislation in a sense to weaponize it against

westminster ? westminster? >> i can't know for sure on that. i believe they were genuinely attempting to change the law in a way that they felt would benefit a sector of society, albeit in a way that fundamentally ended up being very contested. um, it was obviously quite a fractious process, as it went through the scottish parliament. it was about a year ago today. we were sitting in the parliament, sitting in the parliament, sitting late into the night, heanng sitting late into the night, hearing amendments. sitting late into the night, hearing amendments . and those hearing amendments. and those amendments um, primary on amendments are, um, primary on safeguarding issues to try to introduce some safeguarding into the bill were voted down again and again and again. and the government are now trying to turn into an issue of turn this into an issue of devolution . they're saying, you devolution. they're saying, you know, the government has know, the uk government has overstepped. obviously this is the that in the 20 or the first time that in the 20 or so years we've had devolution, they have used this type of power. they said in the chamber today that they, um, said that the uk government were using this because they just didn't like the policy. but that's not

correct . if you look at the correct. if you look at the judgement from the court, that argument was explicitly rejected by the court. so i think at this point the scottish government really need to reflect on the fact they've got themselves fact that they've got themselves into . i also have into this mess. i also have called for them apologise , as called for them to apologise, as i they need to apologise i believe they need to apologise to women girls of to the women and girls of scotland for not listening to their concerns or for potentially them in potentially putting them in a situation where their rights and their safety could be compromised must compromised and they must withdraw this bill and ensure that is never implemented in that it is never implemented in scotland . scotland. >> okay, alba party msp ash regan, thank you very much for joining live from joining us on the show live from holyrood. i know that you've been campaigning on this issue for long, time. it for a long, long time. it remains if this bill remains to be seen if this bill is finished because of is actually finished because of course , if the labour party gets course, if the labour party gets in, leader in keir in, we have a leader in keir starmer who still thinks that women have penis and still women can have a penis and still can't us what a woman is. can't tell us what a woman is. so i suspect as ash says, there, this one might not have gone away. it still could come back to be an issue after the next general election. that's one to

keep an eye on. now, the next hour that manchester allegedly helped to free dangerous prisoners and terrorists , we'll prisoners and terrorists, we'll hear from a barrister for his take. will this come back to haunt starmer at the next general election, or is this just what lawyers do they take care of bad people as well as good. martin daubney on gb good. i'm martin daubney on gb news and this is britain's news channel. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> hello. good afternoon . >> hello. good afternoon. welcome to your latest gb news weather update from the met office. it'll be turning a very windy for many areas of the uk overnight tonight, and that's as a result of storm pier that's been named by the danish met service, as that's where the strongest winds will be. but it's this area of low pressure up north by iceland that up to the north by iceland that is storm pier that will be bringing strong winds

republican convention in milwaukee will nominates trump as their nominee, he will be on the general election ballot. and in the case of colorado, he will be on the colorado primary ballot . the courts ballot. the courts overwhelmingly , unless somebody overwhelmingly, unless somebody is convicted, they'll put you on the ballot. yeah >> and the supreme court is likely to overturn any ruling in colorado anyhow. which begs the question , why was this case even question, why was this case even launched in the first place? well january 6th had never happened. >> uh, it wouldn't have been around. but trump , uh, made around. but trump, uh, made himself very clear on that morning. he said to thousands of people, go down to march on the capitol and people forget five people died, hundreds of people were injured. and the capitol building, uh, was semi destroyed. and the electoral college was delayed for hours. it's kind of obvious evidence against trump . uh, but against trump. uh, but politically , the us supreme politically, the us supreme courts have ruled in the past any national party who nominates their candidate overrides any state rule. and i guess the

point there is, will it have any impact in a negative sense? >> i mean, we've seen, bob, every indictment out, every court case, even a mugshot was turned into a popularity boost or a poll boost and even a fundraising boost. will this latest case simply help the trump train ? trump train? >> well, politically, it's for , >> well, politically, it's for, good politically speaking, not good politically speaking, not good for the country. but politically it's good for both countries. both sides raise countries. both sides will raise more money. the activists on the right will say, oh, trump is under siege by the insiders and the democrats will say, this makes sense. the guy almost destroyed our government on january 6th. okay bob mulholland, we're gonna have to leave it there. >> thanks for joining leave it there. >> thanks forjoining us. member of the democratic national committee california . thanks committee for california. thanks for on the show. it's forjoining us on the show. it's going to be one of show forjoining us on the show. it's goinovemberne of show forjoining us on the show. it's goinovember the of show forjoining us on the show. it's goinovember the fifth.f show forjoining us on the show. it's goinovember the fifth. that'syw on november the fifth. that's when presidential when the next presidential election be election is going to be fireworks night senses is fireworks night in all senses is now moving for some good news now moving on for some good news as inflation unexpectedly as uk inflation unexpectedly fell to 3.9% this morning. and

that's according to new data from the ons . it's the lowest from the ons. it's the lowest rate in over two years, and chancellor jeremy rate in over two years, and chancellorjeremy hunt has chancellor jeremy hunt has responded saying with responded by saying with inflation more than halved , we inflation more than halved, we are starting to remove inflationary pressures from the economy. but many families are still struggling with high prices, so we will continue to prioritise measures that help with cost of living pressures. and joining me now to discuss this is independence economist juuan this is independence economist julian jessop . welcome to the julian jessop. welcome to the show. julian always a pleasure. so is this merry christmas from mr sunak and mr hunt. or is it thin gruel. because after all price is still going up. they're not they're just not going up as much as before for. >> well it is clearly good news that inflation is falling more quickly than people were. >> anticipate waiting. >> anticipate waiting. >> but i think it's right to take a step back. >> the reality is that prices are rising just at are still rising just at a slower rate . and also i don't slower rate. and also i don't quite see how the government can can claim any credit for this.

um, i mean, inflation has fallen more sharply in, in many other countries in the rest of europe. and in the us . and to the extent and in the us. and to the extent there's anything locally that's brought inflation back down, it's that the bank of england has raised interest rates aggressively. >> so i'm really sure >> so i'm not really sure there's any credit here that goes the government. goes to the government. >> i suppose you >> but i suppose at least you could they haven't could say they haven't made the problem would problem any worse than it would otherwise and of otherwise have been. and of course, the of course, julian, the bank of england's target is 2. >> so still double >> so this still runs at double that. have a 2% that. but we do have a 2% national insurance cut coming in the new year . do national insurance cut coming in the new year. do you think all of this may pave the way for that kind of much anticipated and expected cut in interest rates next year ? rates next year? >> well, you're right that inflation is still above the official 2% target, but it's heading towards a lot more quickly than the bank had been expecting . expecting. >> the forecast that the bank published in november didn't have inflation falling to 2% until the end of 2025. >> but based on these numbers and the leading indicators that i've been looking at, i think

inflation would actually fall to 2% early next year. certainly in the first half. >> and i think that removes any excuse for the bank of england not to pivot towards cutting interest rates alongside other major central banks. >> something to look >> that's something to look forward certain, but forward to for certain, but something that remains stubbornly high as food inflation seems to be the inflation still seems to be the price of items in our baskets , price of items in our baskets, is soaring 10% in the year to october. so while we might see these more ephemeral drops when you put stuff in your basket at the supermarket , when you fill the supermarket, when you fill your car full of petrol, we're still getting stung . still getting stung. >> well, i think that's a that's a very good example of this bafic a very good example of this basic problem that even if inflation is falling, it doesn't mean that prices are dropping out. but i think there is out. right. but i think there is some good news to come on on food prices. >> um , if you look further up >> um, if you look further up the you look at the the chain, if you look at the pnces the chain, if you look at the prices that producers are paying for, the sort raw food that for, the sort of raw food that they turn into the stuff in they then turn into the stuff in they then turn into the stuff in the shelves, then those they then turn into the stuff in the sh ares, then those they then turn into the stuff in the sh are falling. then those prices are falling. >> um, and food price inflation has dropped very sharply in the

us and in the rest of europe. i don't see any good reason why the won't what's the uk won't follow. what's more, at some of the more, if you look at some of the sort of staple foods that people buy most often thinking that a dairy grains, dairy products, grains, pastas, and on, some of those prices and so on, some of those prices are actually already falling outright . outright. >> so there are already signs that the inflation problem is starting pass, it's starting to pass, but it's clearly be with us for clearly going to be with us for some yet. some time yet. >> the problem, though, >> maybe the problem, though, julian, is that inflation is falling in america because they have energy independence and we don't here we're still reliant on expensive imports , which of on expensive imports, which of course pushes up the price of the fertiliser. and all flows the fertiliser. and it all flows downhill what in downhill to what we pay in our baskets. judy and jessup, thank you very much for joining us baskets. judy and jessup, thank you very much forjoining us on you very much for joining us on the you've given some the show. you've given us some nice reason to be cheerful. anyway, hopefully we're through the we'll see the thick of it and we'll see interest inflation interest rates and inflation plummet year. thank plummet in the new year. thank you for that you very much for that optimistic note. now it's recently emerged that in the years before he launched his political career and became labour party leader keir starmer secured the release on a legal technicality of an arsonist who

had terrorised the family after the home office had tried to keep him in jail. the revelations are only the latest in a long line of controversies that many fear would lead to a fiercely fought general election campaign next year that heavily, heavily relies on dirty tricks by both sides . so joining me now by both sides. so joining me now is barrister and writer stephen barrett , who's always a is barrister and writer stephen barrett, who's always a pleasure to have on the show. stephen, thank you for joining to have on the show. stephen, thank you forjoining us. so we thank you for joining us. so we predicted on monday on this very programme that the next general election would be the dirtiest, perhaps of all time, maybe not quite as dirty as we're seeing in america at the moment, but revelations being dragged out about keir starmer's as the about keir starmer's past as the director of public prosecutions, when it's been pointed out he's defended 84 cases of a very unsavoury nature, 84 hardened criminals, terror suspects and even police killers. the big question, stephen, is will all of this become an electoral issue? is it something worth

talking about, or is it simply a part of a lawyer's career ? yeah, part of a lawyer's career? yeah, well , i part of a lawyer's career? yeah, well, i mean, one of the things to remember is that criminal law is vile. >> and i'm not a criminal lawyer because criminal law is vile . because criminal law is vile. >> i mean, i also like the type of law i do, and it has proportionately more law to do, which, know, for somebody proportionately more law to do, whiclikes know, for somebody proportionately more law to do, whiclikes law ow, for somebody proportionately more law to do, whiclikes law keeps somebody who likes law keeps you entertained. >> law entertained. >> but criminal law is fundamentally and keir fundamentally vile and keir starmer was an ambitious man who wanted to succeed . wanted to succeed. >> so he he went into murder , >> so he he went into murder, rape and terrorism. things so he's going to have represented awful people. >> there's no way around that at all. and he he's getting criticism now for the defence work he did . criticism now for the defence work he did. he'll criticism now for the defence work he did . he'll probably if work he did. he'll probably if these if these tricks these if these dirty tricks carry on get criticism for the prosecutions. he did. um of prosecutions. he did. um some of them know, like um them you know, like um prosecuting the tweeter about the tweet about the the joke tweet about the airport, perhaps , you know, airport, perhaps, you know, there's grounds in that. but what what has happened fundamentally is that we've moved away from the idea that barristers are totally

independent, impartial professionals . professionals. >> and some fellow barristers. i mean, that's how i like to present to the public. that's what i think i'm doing when i come on. >> i don't bring my whole self on your television show at all. >> i don't bring my whole self oonler television show at all. >> i don't bring my whole self oonly bring�*vision show at all. >> i don't bring my whole self oonly bring barristersw at all. >> i don't bring my whole self oonly bring barristers ,' at all. >> i don't bring my whole self oonly bring barristers , stephen i only bring barristers, stephen and everybody else has has to wait outside the door. >> but there are we have seen the rise of the politically active barrister, and that is causing things to fray at the edgein causing things to fray at the edge in the old days. >> this is very simple. you just you this is his job. you just say this is his job. >> was the cab rank rule. >> this was the cab rank rule. you was absolutely you know, there was absolutely no could be judged on no way he could be judged on these things. and i think, i mean, i hope and trust is mean, i hope and trust that is still those early enough, >> although those early enough, that's a political that's probably a political position. >> are we doing ? >> but what are we doing? >> but what are we doing? >> are all going to go back >> are we all going to go back to being independent professionals who thus hide professionals who thus can hide behind shield impartiality, behind a shield of impartiality, because protects us? >> martin and the bbc would be an awful lot safer if it had retained impartiality . retained impartiality. >> the civil service would be an awful lot safer if it had retained impartiality. i'd like to reassure your viewers that

there are impartial barristers that we exist. we are the absolute majority of barristers by a very long way. if they have doubts about any individual, well, that might be a matter for them to pursue in a different way. >> but no keir starmer is behaved as a professional in a field full of awful human beings i >> -- >> um, now, i probably represented people. your client, your tv audience might not like. um, i certainly have, but i, i don't get the same stick in the same way because i'm not trying to get them off prison. you know that. that's not what i'm doing. >> okay, stephen barrett, we have leave it there. we have have to leave it there. we have such busy thanks for such a busy show. thanks for joining us. always a pleasure. and replied and labour have replied by saying, are simply saying, these are simply desperate attacks from a tory party running party that has given up running on okay, you're on the country. okay, you're watching listening to gb news plenty more to in. plenty more to come in. just a moment. i'm martin dalby on gb news, news channel . news, britain's news channel. we're late. get up this

girl x and boy y. of course, their identities at the moment concealed for legal reasons. once the verdicts had come in today , we heard from both of today, we heard from both of brianna's parents. you mentioned there esther brianna's mother's comments . she also thanked comments. she also thanked officer chadwick, who was the first person on the scene from the emergency services and she said she felt grateful that he was there and that in the last moments of her life, she may have felt a little bit safer because of his presence. she also described brianna recalling what she like, saying she what she was like, saying she was funny, witty and careless, and that now her house feels empty . we also heard, as i say, empty. we also heard, as i say, from peter, who was brianna's father there. he said that she knew he knew that his daughter was going to be a star, and that it is now difficult to comprehend and how girl x and boy y acted in that way . it boy y acted in that way. it really is truly horrendous . we really is truly horrendous. we also heard from the senior investigating officer, nigel parr, and he said that the

obsession with murder with girl x and boy y was startling. he said their only motivation was to experience what it would be like now. the facts that brianna guy, who was only 16 years old at the time, had to lose her life because of that, is truly quite shocking. and i'm sure that this is not the end of this case. of course, we do have the sentencing to come. although justice yip did say to both girl x and boy y upon hearing those verdicts that they must surely already know that they would be receiving sentences all she receiving life sentences all she has to decide now is how many years it will be before they can be considered for release . be considered for release. >> okay sophie reaper, thanks for update from manchester for that update from manchester crown court. very emotional crown court. a very emotional case. now there's lots more to come still between now and 6:00, so don't go anywhere. but first, your latest news headlines with polly middlehurst .

box . 8690 derby rd one nine, jvt box. 8690 derby rd one nine, jvt , uk. only entrants must be 18 or over. lines close at 5 pm. on friday the 5th of january. full terms and privacy notice add gbnews.com forward slash win. good luck now now two household name brands have come under fire for advertising slip ups, which targeted young children in october last year, engush children in october last year, english football league partnered with pizza brand papa john's and the efl then sent email to subscribers, some aged as young as 13, who could get 50% off papa john's pizzas. >> direct products. they were high in fat , salt or sugar at high in fat, salt or sugar at children and this comes as in september, rimmel london had a make up back to school season adverts banned by the advertising standards authority as it played on young girls insecurity . well, joining me now insecurity. well, joining me now is parents and journalist julie cooke. thanks for joining is parents and journalist julie cooke. thanks forjoining us on

cooke. thanks for joining us on the show, julie . so one day, two the show, julie. so one day, two separate rulings by the asa. let's start with the rimmel london one. i find it extra ordinary that a makeup company will be saying that it's that it's encouraging. young girls in particular to wear makeup not only to go back to school to help them slay the turn, but offering them 25% off. these are children returning to school . children returning to school. >> yeah, it's absolutely shocking, but i'm not surprised i wrote a piece. it's not been out yet , but for one of the out yet, but for one of the national papers very recently on the growing trend of tiktok skincare videos aimed at children as young as five. um, and these makeup brands are very aware of these trends. they follow it like mad , and they follow it like mad, and they know that very young children are very interested in beauty and skincare . and the story i and skincare. and the story i did actually covered a girl who ended up using retinol , which is ended up using retinol, which is aimed much older women like aimed at much older women like myself, for myself, who use it for anti—wrinkle , and she ended up anti—wrinkle, and she ended up with chemical burns and had to

go so just go to hospital. so that's just one of how skincare has one example of how skincare has become the real latest trend among young people. and i think people, um, brands like rimmel and brands, they're not and other brands, they're not they're immune to that. they they're not immune to that. they can the trends and they are can see the trends and they are targeting them. yeah >> the asa, um, found >> and the asa, um, found against them. rimmel of course denied they were targeting kids. i don't how they got that i don't know how they got that conclusion on. um, but they said it was playing girls it was playing on young girls insecurities their insecurities about their appearance. you'd imagine, appearance. as you'd imagine, it's true. and then in the second um, papa john's second case, um, papa john's targeting teenagers with pizza products. now, of course , products. now, of course, teenagers do eat pizza. it's no crime to do so. but to directly target them without their parents knowledge. isn't that what this is? all about? you know, kids are being targeted all the time by companies, parents don't know what that is . parents don't know what that is. and if it's fast food that's fattening , if it's and if it's fast food that's fattening, if it's makeup to children, then parents have a right to be concerned. don't they? they really do. >> and again, it's all linked to trends. you know, children now have their own little bank cards

don't they. a lot of children aged sort of 13 or even younger have their own little bank card, which used online for which can be used online for things. so again, the things. um, and so again, the brands, they know this and they know got little know they've got little customers. growing customers. they're growing number who actually number of customers who actually have spend. now and the have money to spend. now and the argument, of course, is with the papa john's thing is that these children , parents should papa john's thing is that these chi deciding parents should papa john's thing is that these chi deciding whatirents should papa john's thing is that these chi deciding what they. should papa john's thing is that these chi deciding what they eat.uld papa john's thing is that these chi deciding what they eat. yes, be deciding what they eat. yes, they can eat a pizza, but they shouldn't it shouldn't be ordering it themselves. whenever themselves. you know, whenever they want. it's quite they want. um, and it's quite a cynical of direct cynical form of direct advertising and targeting of young people and children who shouldn't be making these decisions themselves . decisions themselves. >> and judy, as well as directly trying to target them and sell them products. they're also harvesting their aren't harvesting their data, aren't they? most valuable they? that's the most valuable commodity company can commodity that any company can get. if you get them that young, you've got them for life. that's what this is about. i think. >> exactly. you've hit the nail right on the head. hence, i'm nodding like mad because i think that's thing here. that's the main thing here. i think, yes, it's getting think, yes, it's about getting money getting money and getting getting customers young, but it's getting as we

getting data young because as we all know , there are lots of all know, there are lots of sinister at play when it sinister forces at play when it comes if they can map comes to data. if they can map out different trends , how you out different trends, how you behave, you purchase, what behave, how you purchase, what you purchase, and when they've got for life, you know they got you for life, you know they can track your behaviour for life young people. >> okay, judy cook, thanks for joining us on the show. we'll have to leave it there because i've been joined in the studio by michelle dewberry. of course, dewbs& 6:00. dewbs& co coming up at 6:00. that cover in that story we'll just cover in there my go. the there really got my go. it's the makeup one. yeah targeting girls over back school, over the back to school, offering 25% off makeup to kids going back to school. what the jig going back to school. what the jig ins is going on. >> well, that is the society that we live in now, isn't it? i blame social media for a lot of it. so teenage now, it. so many teenage kids now, they they're their they look like they're in their 20s rest of it. um 20s and all the rest of it. um and that is the society. and i think a real shame. think it's a real shame. children teenagers particularly and they are and girls feel that they are judged on they look judged based on what they look like. um, that was one the like. um, that was one of the reasons the day that i was reasons the other day that i was saying france, everyone saying about france, everyone was girl was complaining that the girl that i was that one had short hair, i was sitting thinking, well, sitting there thinking, well, why with the

why are people cool with the fact there's these beauty fact that there's these beauty pageants you pageants in 2023? why are you still judging based on still judging women based on what for points ? what they look like for points? i it's so backward if you i mean, it's so backward if you ask just ridiculous. ask me. it's just ridiculous. >> got a quick minute >> okay, got a quick minute left. what's on menu for left. what's on your menu for dewbs& co >> oh, yes. not going to be >> oh, yes. i'm not going to be talking makeup. um, lots talking about makeup. um, lots coming though. to talk coming up though. i want to talk about state about drugs. councils the state of the fact that of politics and the fact that this network project will this network north project will all remember the hs2 got biffed off, it? and now off, didn't it? uh, and now their latest announcement is for, what, £235 million to improve roads. yes big tick until you hear the word in london. ridiculous. excuse me. network north replacing , uh, network north replacing, uh, pot. so repairing potholes in london. and i got to ask myself , london. and i got to ask myself, do the tories actually ever look in the mirror and ask themselves , what on earth are we doing ? , what on earth are we doing? uh, well, i've got a tory peer on my panel tonight, shaun bailey. so i'll be asking him that, because to me, just that, because to me, it's just like . a three year like basics. a three year old could could look there say, could could look there and say, you the optics of this you know what the optics of this are good for the tories, but are not good for the tories, but yet, no one seems be having
