had the cass review, which was pretty damning, wasn't it, about the what had been going on at the what had been going on at the tavistock institute . and the tavistock institute. and labour are anxious about doctors being involved in the process of the child wants to change their gender because doctors have got so much to do well, who's going to make a decision ? i want to make a decision? i want experts involved here. well, they're too young anyway at 13, 14 and 15 to change their genden 14 and 15 to change their gender. yeah. >> it's ridiculous . okay. so >> it's ridiculous. okay. so andrew, i'm going to do a little test with you then to see if you can say what this gender is. okay. so let's go with this is an easy one. that's a gender. what does that mean. >> what what is it a gender age. and yeah male . and yeah male. >> no it's a person who does not identify themselves with or experience of any gender. okay. what about, and jane? these are ones that you sometimes hear. >> andrew. jane isn't that. isn't that a new bleach, it's a person who feels a combination of feminine and masculine genders, what about a genital? >> a genital? >> a genital? >> no , no, sorry. it is an >> no, no, sorry. it is an genhal >> no, no, sorry. it is an genital. sorry. oh, right .

genital. sorry. oh, right. genhal genital. sorry. oh, right. genital. i mean, it's laughable. >> where who who invents these things the person desires to be without any primary sexual characteristics, although they do not identify themselves as genderless. so does that mean they want to remove their genitals ? genitals? >> okay, let's give you another. i've got the foggiest answer. agendais i've got the foggiest answer. agenda is that, is that, something from the greek hieroglyphic dictionary ? hieroglyphic dictionary? >> close, close, this gender identity has anxiety as a prominent characteristic. it's rubbish . it's absolute. rubbish. it's absolute. >> what what what child is says thatis >> what what what child is says that is rubbish or daddy. >> and this is what they're allowing. yeah. and these are only the ones beginning with andrew. >> but this is an industry now. this is an industry that we're spawning. and i'm afraid the tories had many years to get to gnps tories had many years to get to grips with and put a stop to this. and now it's too late because labour are going to promote it and create it and encourage it, so the question is it time to bring back gender

ideology to the classroom. here's a debate. this is the political editor of the huffington post uk. and the author and a broadcaster emma woolf. that's kevin schofield and emma woolf right. >> i think we should go to emma woolf first. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> let's go emma. we just when we thought this might have been settled and we had the cast report and all sides seem to be agreeing here, we've got on the front page of the times and the telegraph today. labour are going to shift the goalposts again . again. >> and the thing is, you guys are joking about that. but we're adults and we and we can joke about that sort of tongue in cheek. what do all these different identities mean ? you different identities mean? you know, people chopping off genitals, all of that. but actually there are two questions here. there's gender identity, biological reality, which we can debate as adults. and then there's the very serious issue of this gender ideology in our children's classrooms. and it absolutely appalling. it's a complex, complex issue that we have created as adults, partly from the beginning of people

questioning their sexuality and all of that. fine. that's on us. but when you start introducing that to young children, to young teens, it is very destabilising . teens, it is very destabilising. it is very confusing. and it when you start talking about people being born in the wrong body, people all removing. i mean, there are posters around where i live which show healthy young women with mastectomies. it's just ridiculous. and they say they them and that is sponsored by the mayor of london, showing people removing healthy body parts . and i use healthy body parts. and i use the word mastectomy, but they call it top surgery . i do not call it top surgery. i do not want and i have a three year old. any school that introduces this stuff that starts questioning whether my child is a boy or a girl, or whether they have the wrong genitals, whether they're in the wrong body, i, i would pull him out of that school and but there's only one body you can be in. >> in the body that you have is obviously yours. so it can't be

the wrong one. but obviously sadiq khan isn't here to defend himself. but kevin, surely you don't agree with or can't go along with the 72 genders teaching. i mean, that's only one of them. one says there's 68, another one says there's 13. who's going to police this stuff? and where where is the consistency ? well, no, it feels consistency? well, no, it feels like it's been made up . like it's been made up. >> yeah. well, i mean, i looked at bridget phillipson's quotes this morning very closely with what she said yesterday and that the conservatives have been leaping all over. and what she said , i'm not sure it quite said, i'm not sure it quite justifies the shock horror headune justifies the shock horror headline of the story. i mean, what she said, she actually welcomed the guidance which had been introduced. she thought the guidance was a good idea. what she wants to do if she becomes education secretary is look again and see whether teachers are happy with the guidance . and are happy with the guidance. and because ultimately it's the teachers who are the ones who are going to have to follow this guidance and implement it in the classrooms. i don't think there's any suggestion, certainly, that labour would come in and just remove this guidance. and i think that's exactly the suggestion. >> i think. i mean, i think that's that's that's what people

are worried about. >> yeah, i think that's, that's the suggestion from the conservative party. i saw that the education secretary, gillian keegan, was quoted in response to what bridget phillipson had said in an interview. and she said in an interview. and she said she accused labour of playing politics with young people's lives. i mean, i can absolutely understand, but in the middle of a general election campaign, parties are trying to seek political advantage from absolutely everything that they possibly can. but i think, bridget phillipson's quotes yesterday, don't quite justify, i think the gillian keegan response is no. >> but the thing is. >> but the thing is. >> the thing is, it's insidious. you can't just teach children a bit of it's not like a bit of sex education or a bit of french, or a bit of italian . french, or a bit of italian. once you start questioning gender identity, once you start introducing gender ideology into classrooms , it is very, very classrooms, it is very, very destabilising. it's a fundamental thing about us. once you start questioning that with children as young as 9 or 10 or even young teens who are going

through a lot, you remember being a teenager, you're going through a lot. you might even be questioning your sexuality, which is a different thing . you which is a different thing. you can absolutely be gay. you can have the support. what we need to do is make sure there is adequate support with the consultation of parents. none of this nonsense about not telling parents adequate support , mental parents adequate support, mental health support for anyone, for any teen who is experiencing genuine gender dysphoria or distress. >> kevin. kevin, can i ask? i just want to ask kevin. kevin, how many genders are there in your view? >> well, i mean, i'm not an expert in this matter. i've always been brought up. it's male and female, but i'm certainly not an expert, so i'm not going to, try to put a number on it or anything like that. i mean, you mentioned how many did you mention? well, we mentioned seven, kevin. >> we've mentioned 72. that's because there is an entire an entire kevin, an entire industry here. this is an entire industry, and it's going to be fuelled by labour fiddling

around with it in schools when they're in government . there'll they're in government. there'll be 172 next year. >> well, there's absolutely no doubt that this has been, really difficult issue for the labour party. undoubtedly we've just seen over the weekend jk rowling life long labour supporter, saying that basically questioning whether she can vote labour this time over this issue. now, i think the party has shifted. if you look at the position that keir starmer used to take, i didn't know what a woman was. >> yeah , well, a woman can have >> yeah, well, a woman can have a penis. >> you don't hear him saying that anymore. i think they still have some way to go to clarify their position on this and other issues to be perfectly honest. but, but this is an issue where laboun but, but this is an issue where labour, i think slowly are moving, in a different direction, but, you know, clearly it is an issue which is still, i think, causes the party itself an awful lot of trouble. >> i can't believe that they're struggling over this under. >> no, i think well, and in fact, kevin says they're moving in a different direction. emma,

i think what we've heard at the weekend is they're moving back away again from a sensible route i >> -- >> of course they are. and it's insidious. as i say, it's a bit like mission creep. once this stuff starts to get into classrooms, once it becomes okay to discuss it a bit, it's very, very difficult. you don't it's not, you know, then it's kind of a pandora's box. i'm astonished that kevin schofield, who i hugely respect, is struggling to answer that question. how many genders are there? there can be. well, he did say there are two, but he didn't want to go into the detail . he but he didn't want to go into the detail. he said as far as he knows, that there are two i, i really am amazed that can be listen, there can be a million sexualities, there can be a million feelings. let's have a million feelings. let's have a million flowers blooming. but there are two genders. there's male and female . no matter what male and female. no matter what you do to your body, no matter what you cut off and what drugs you take, which children should be nowhere near . by the way, be nowhere near. by the way, there are two genders, but they would argue that there are two genders. >> but gender is different from

sex. kevin, do you think that genderis sex. kevin, do you think that gender is different from sex or separate from it ? separate from it? >> i mean, to be honest with you, as an issue, which, as i say, as i was growing up, i was always taught to, you know, male and female and but could you imagine if you were growing up and you were taught that there was 72? well, you know, it's a long time since i was that age, and i certainly wasn't taught that at school. and i don't think there's any suggestion of bringing that in. and the kids have been taught that in school. i don't think so. i mean, i think the whole point, don't you think? >> don't you need to worry? aren't you worrying about need to know? >> i think teachers need to know what they can and can't say. i think the teachers are the ones in this who are kind of caught in this who are kind of caught in the middle. really. they are the ones who, at the end of the day, have to implement, and teach this, area of education. and if they are not being given the correct tools by the government, then we've got a serious problem. >> i don't know why they why should they have to? it's biology. it's a biology lesson. >> kevin. what i worry about in this debate is particularly on the labour side, we're not

heanng the labour side, we're not hearing about what mum and dad thinks. right. what about mum and dad who don't want all this nonsense taught to their children? they don't want their children? they don't want their children coming home confused about whether they're a boy or a girl, because teachers said there can be 72 different versions of gender. i mean, j.k. rowling's article in the times 2000 words. she says she doesn't feel she can vote for labour because it's lost the plot on women and gender issues. because it's lost the plot on women and gender issues . she's a women and gender issues. she's a sensible woman. >> that's exactly what i said. this is that typifies exemplifies exactly why this has been such a difficult , position, been such a difficult, position, difficult issue rather for laboun difficult issue rather for labour. and you're right, i'm a parent. i've got two kids at school. as far as i'm aware, they've never , ever come back they've never, ever come back and said to me, what about this ? and said to me, what about this? this is what we're being taught about gender, thank god. as far as i know, they're not being taught that as far as i know. >> well ask them. yeah ask them tonight, kevin. >> one's eight and one's 14. and >> one's eight and one's14. and the. i've never been they've never come back to school to talk to me about it. >> we'd love to carry on with this conversation. that's the broadcaster emma woolf and kevin

always say. i remember going back to 78 and, and ali's army when they went to argentina . when they went to argentina. yeah. and the whole of scotland thought, this is it, we're going to win the world cup. you know, they had the song. do you remember that ali ali mcleod. oh, on the way where ali's army. we're going to the argentina . we're going to the argentina. yeah. you remember the song. they didn't get beyond the never got anywhere. no. they drew with iran. they got beaten by peru. they managed to beat holland. i always remember that. but it's just been the same story ever since. so steve clarke who's the manager now for now, which is interesting because he's last ever game as a player was for chelsea at stuttgart. and now the last game managing scotland was in stuttgart. >> so you know, now what about lineker who i can't stand right. i don't think nana is a fan. >> i don't think so. me and him go way back because he's been so rude about the england team's performance, using four letter words, which are, frankly, when you consider how much money he's paid by the bbc. >> right. the licence payer, you think he could come up with slightly more sophisticated descriptions of the england team? >> okay, well , the argument is

>> okay, well, the argument is whether it's the words that he's used or the argument is whether he is criticising england. >> now. harry kane, i know we've probably got a clip of this as well. i think we've got harry kane respond saying this is the england captain, this is the england captain, this is the england captain, this is the england captain, harry kane, responding to what we don't have gary lineker, so we don't have that right now. so i'll have to do it for you okay. go on. >> so basically do the accent as well. >> well it's chingford so it's my area so it's not far away. but but the criticism was justified. england as you know were not good against denmark. so gary lineker has been on the bbc as he would and he would be the host. and with alan shearer they were, i think , fair in what they were, i think, fair in what they were, i think, fair in what they said. now where you said there were certain words being used. this was on a podcast and what harry kane had says was, well, some people do these things to try and advertise their podcast and make themselves more popular. but the main point that harry was making more rich, okay, but but in what harry kane was actually saying, though, the main point was he

questioned the fact that people like gary lineker and alan shearer have been in england sides that have not done well. so it's all very rich for them to say they really should get behind the side. but in my opinion their job is still to opinion theirjob is still to criticise what's going on and discuss how they thought the game was. >> they should know that because , i mean, what is it? gary lineker got 80 caps, harry kane got 93. yeah, and also 48 goals and 64. well i mean not forget the time in 19 90in the world cup. what happened there. he's talking about. yeah. what happened to gary i see what i see what you're saying. >> but i don't think we can as far as players are concerned, there's no question. and andrew would agree that gary lineker , would agree that gary lineker, although he never played for swindon town, which would have made things different for him, was a great footballer and a fantastic striker and so is harry kane, but he does have the right. but then again, anybody has the right to talk about how they thought the game was. nobody has actually said, oh yeah, we saw england play against denmark and they were great because they weren't.

>> stay tuned to watch. >> stay tuned to watch. >> we've got to go. still to come, former minister, former education minister robert halfon will give his his his take on laboun will give his his his take on labour, potentially ripping up the trans ban in schools. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> hello. very good morning to you. it's going to turn hotter in places this week, although it's not going to be entirely sunny every day. there's some patchy cloud around this morning, although it's mostly fine for many. that morning, although it's mostly fine for many . that patchy cloud fine for many. that patchy cloud continues to affect the south and southwest and western scotland. northern ireland sees thicker cloud to begin things, with some outbreaks of mostly light rain and drizzle that will tend to fizzle out by the afternoon, with some brighter weather coming along. and for the vast majority, it's a decent enough summer's afternoon and with the right amount of

sunshine , temperatures will sunshine, temperatures will reach 26 to 28 celsius towards the south—east, 24 or 25 further north and across much of scotland and northern ireland. it's a sunnier end to the day , it's a sunnier end to the day, but for the midlands into central southern england there will be some cloud lingering at this stage away from the cloud temperatures holding up at 22 to 24 celsius as we go into the evening . the best of the evening. the best of the sunshine, i think, will be across northern england, southern scotland , eastern southern scotland, eastern scotland, for example. thicker cloud still there across western scotland and northern ireland, although some sun will come through later in the day. and there's another area of cloud and rain waiting to come in for monday night. initially that's light and patchy, but the breeze will pick up and by midnight i think some more persistent damp weather will arrive into lewis and harris, perhaps affecting western parts of northern ireland by this stage as well. clear spells elsewhere. but whether you've got the clear spells or the low cloud, i think temperatures will stay at 15 or 16 celsius. a muggy night to

come for many, but it's a bright start to tuesday . plenty of fine start to tuesday. plenty of fine weather out there. one exception once again northern and western scotland. northern ireland thicker cloud here. outbreaks of light rain at first. and as that cloud drifts its way eastwards, we could see some heavier rain developing for northeast scotland and some showers for northern england. further south, the heat intensify as 28 or 29 celsius 30 degrees. by wednesday. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on

suggest that somehow we're doing something wrong by asking for transparency in an election campaign. i think people should start to question, what is it the conservatives have to hide, and why are they so desperate to hide it ? hide it? >> in other news, russia's dagestan region is beginning three days of mourning after gunmen killed 19 people, including several police officers , an orthodox priest and officers, an orthodox priest and a security guard. the attacks took place in synagogues and churches yesterday morning across two cities in the north caucasus. the region's governor says the organisation and motive behind the attacks is known, but he didn't provide any more details . yesterday's bloodshed details. yesterday's bloodshed comes three months after 145 people were killed in a shooting at a concert hall near moscow, which was claimed by the islamic state group. no one has claimed responsibility for this latest attack . the scottish attack. the scottish conservatives will launch their manifesto today with a promise to recruit 1000 more gps and

britain's newsroom on gb news with andrew pierce and nana akua, who's in the bev turner in britain's newsroom, which is a rather different newsroom, actually. you've got this rather smart, swished, streamlined studio, which we very much like. >> but first let's cross now to labour leader sir keir starmer. >> oh no, you're spoiling it. >> oh no, you're spoiling it. >> who's holding a q&a with students in the east midlands? >> you did really well this yeah >> you did really well this year. are you watching the euros enjoying it. how well do you think we'll do in england ? come think we'll do in england? come on.the think we'll do in england? come on. the sign says it all from you, sir. build it up. yeah yeah. keir, just out of interest on your website , you describe on your website, you describe yourself i think as a box to box midfield general . i've taken so midfield general. i've taken so much grief for that from the guys that i actually play football with. who is, in your opinion, the greatest ever midfielder to play for your team? arsenal. oh, dennis bergkamp i'd say the greatest midfielder and the greatest up front. thierry henry. but that description of myself as a box to box midfielder , i do still to box midfielder, i do still play to box midfielder, i do still play football if you can, if you can believe it, but everybody i actually play football with texted me afterwards and says

yeah, maybe 20 years ago, mate, but not so much now. so i'm going to have to take that down, i think. okay. fantastic. now, bridget, we've got a question for you now from oldrin in year ten. so aldrin is behind you here. so mrs. shaw is just going to come over with a mic. >> if i had a choice between being an apprentice or going to university, what would you do? >> i think that's a great question. and it's very much abouti question. and it's very much about i think , all young people about i think, all young people finding what's right for them in terms of making sure they find the right path. i think it's really important that we get more apprenticeships. there aren't enough of them. but also i do not think it's a choice necessarily about one or the other because also there are degree level apprenticeships now. and also i was at one business just earlier this week where i met an apprentice who was just completing his apprenticeship and who was then going to go on to study at university. so i think what i want to make sure happens under a labour government is that all of you get the chance to have a range of different opportunities, and you can find the route that's for best you. i went to university because that was the approach i wanted to

take because i wanted to study history. i thought that was a really interesting subject to study, and i loved learning, and i think there is really something special about just finding what you're good at and sticking at it . sticking at it. >> i think they're both brilliant. i think i actually went to university, i really enjoyed it. it was fantastic, but apprenticeships, particularly some of the ones these days, are really fantastic as well. great learning opportunities. as bridget says, you can actually combine the two, but i think it's just working out in your own mind what's best for you. have you got any idea yet which of those you might want to do, or are you just beginning to think about it right? do you any idea what you might want to do? mechanical engineering ? well, again, you engineering? well, again, you can do both because there are brilliant apprenticeships in mechanical engineering, which can be linked to a university . can be linked to a university. some of the engineering i've seen around the country has been had amazing apprentices working on that. it's a really great thing . thank you very much. the thing. thank you very much. the other way round, no bergkamps going now to one of our amazing primary students. so mohammed is in year five. so mohammed, just

let mrs. shaw know about whereabouts you are . she'll whereabouts you are. she'll bnng whereabouts you are. she'll bring the microphone over. and again, this is a question . i again, this is a question. i think we'll have this one to you, but we might be able to expand it out . expand it out. >> well, that's really interesting because even i know gnaana actually somebody whispered in my ear because i don't. so there is keir starmer, the great fan of arsenal football club , talking to those football club, talking to those kids at school about dennis bergkamp, who was a very successful footballer, and describing him, he's an arsenal player. he was an arsenal player that's a very successful midfielder . that's a very successful midfielder. apparently you didn't know this, nor did i, but apparently he was a striker. >> he was a striker. >> he was a striker. >> so does this suggest that perhaps he's not as passionate about his football as perhaps you might think ? because you you might think? because you would. you ought to know that if that's your team and remember, the election a few few. back when david cameron referred to his team as west ham. whoops, prime minister, you supported at the time aston villa . the the time aston villa. the argument was it had been written into his speech and he didn't realise straight away. no, actually we just know the camera was never a football fan. >> they weren't the same

colours, they were claret and blue. >> that's why he got confused. >> that's why he got confused. >> but did you ever really think david cameron was a football fan? >> no, no problem with the people. >> probably happier with lacrosse or polo. >> you see, i hate it when they try and pretend to be down with an authentic, an authentic. and then they get it wrong. like when rishi sunak talked about wales in the euros when he went to work for kwasi and they weren't even in it. euros i know it is. even i knew that actually i >> -- >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> now, the other big scottish event, of course, the scottish, the people of scotland very disappointed because their team got knocked out of them. >> that's very sad. >> that's very sad. >> but it didn't play well. >> but it didn't play well. >> the scottish tory party is launching its manifesto in about an hour's time, with the prime minister and the scottish tory leader, douglas ross. he's lead until the until the election . until the until the election. when he stands down, the party say they're going to lay out laser like focus on the real priorities of the scottish public. >> but what exactly does that mean? let's cross over to our political editor, christopher hope. so, christopher, there launching their manifesto. what are we? what are we likely to

hearin are we? what are we likely to hear in it ? hear in it? >> well, the interesting thing i think. hi and hi andrew. and i love the set. great stuff. i think what i think is interesting here is they're doing it a week after their rival parties the snp, lib dems and labour all announced their plans for the scottish, their scottish parties a week ago . and scottish parties a week ago. and now the tories are doing today on the monday. and i mean people vote a week thursday and many people have filled in. maybe 1 in 5 are filled in their postal votes already . so it's a bit votes already. so it's a bit it's a bit late, frankly, to be setting out your plans for scotland for the tory party. but there we are. we are where we are. the plans are to cut a penny off income tax. the income tax in scotland is much more complicated than in england and wales, with the £0.21 at the base rate with £0.20 and £0.19 and different graduations. so one p comes off that, that's one, one idea and all spending more money on gps and police officers , improving rural trunk officers, improving rural trunk roads. very important for anyone

concerned about about, potholes and backing teachers to teach and backing teachers to teach and increase choice for teachers in their classrooms. that's what the pm and douglas ross want to talk about. but whether they get that far, i'm not sure, because the big concern , i think, across the big concern, i think, across the big concern, i think, across the country is this betting scandal engulfing the tory party. we're day five now. i've had a text from a very senior, mp in the last parliament protecting an enormous majority. he is now worried about losing his seat. unbelievable he might lose his seat. i can't say who it is, but next thursday, because he says that reform is gaining, is winning support. because this is betting. betting gate, whatever they call it, is gaining ground. the idea that allies people around rishi sunak bet on the date of the election, and now there's investigations by the gambling commission . we by the gambling commission. we know, of course, there's four individuals, two, two candidates at the election, two party officials plus a policeman, and they're being looked at. and of course, they deny wrongdoing. but i mean, no question, this is cutting through in a way which

maybe the d—day issue did as well. so he'll try and avoid that. it's hard to know where you go with it. pat mcfadden but the, the labour shadow cabinet minister, he's written to the gambling commission say, make sure you do a full, full investigation. who you who you're investigating. and that may be a misstep because it's allowed chris heaton—harris to the northern ireland secretary to say that labour is trying to pressure the gambling commission to go further than they are already, but how do you get past this? i'm not sure. it may be that , frankly, the pm's got to that, frankly, the pm's got to cut loose these two candidates at the election and be more firm on it because currently these two candidates are still standing, despite being investigated by the gambling commission . commission. >> fascinating. all right, chris, that's chris faux pas, political editor, who is in glorious edinburgh. because the trouble is, and i get why they should be suspended. but even if they are suspended, as nigel farage has made the point with reform candidates, their name is still on the ballot paper. they're printed. >> yeah. so it was still say they can't change it. they can't change it. >> no it's done. and so even though they're suspended, are people going to realise that

when they vote. >> don't they have to withdraw the candidate. and then they haven't got time to put somebody else in? >> i don't think you can withdraw them. >> really. >> really. >> that's the law. wow. wow. so so was chris wearing a tartan tie, by the way? >> i didn't really notice, i couldn't see. i think he was he i think he was long. >> he wasn't wearing a kilt because now manchester airport was left in chaos after a power cut led to the cancellation of a quarter of all flights. huge delays and very, very long queues. >> departures have now resumed and flights are being rescheduled over the next couple of days. paul charles is the ceo of days. paul charles is the ceo of the pc agency. so paul, what happened ? it was just why was happened? it was just why was there a power outage ? there a power outage? >> well, it was about 130 in the morning yesterday that this power cable obviously had some form of fault or somebody cut through that cable in some way. and it led to obviously most of the systems going down at manchester airport, and it's the worst time it could happen

because 130 in the morning, it's very difficult to get hold of key suppliers, to get hold of some of the airlines whose flights are due to go, and that means that many passengers couldn't have been alerted to what was going on. so people were turning up as normal at 2 or 3 in the morning and finding the lines. the security keys were getting longer and longer and the check in queues. and of course they had many issues for the rest of the day. >> what a nightmare, paul, we had an outage a few weeks ago which caused massive disruption, is there any is there any suggestion that the power outages are potentially anything to do with cyber warfare? our friends in russia and other places trying to cause problems in this country? >> i don't think there is that suggestion at the moment. andrew. i think this was purely me, from my sources, somebody cutting through a cable in some way. there was some work being done overnight at the airport, but it's interesting because

there have been many issues recently at birmingham airport. another one of britain's major airports, regional airports , airports, regional airports, with lack of resourcing, with systems going down with massive queues. and so there's a real infrastructure issue that needs to be addressed. i think at many of our airports, whether they are resilient enough, whether they have the backup systems in place to be able to cope with an issue when it happens . and you issue when it happens. and you have to ask why manchester did not have the relevant backup systems in place to enable the systems in place to enable the systems to keep going, despite that cable fault and it is one of our biggest airports after all. >> paul, it's our third biggest airport, very important manchester lots of flights going out, not just flights that are going directly to a destination, but also indirectly. for example, there were many passengers caught up who were flying to dublin and then going onwards to the united states. so they were held up to , it's good they were held up to, it's good they were held up to, it's good the airport apologise very quickly and has said there will

be compensation for those who are out of pocket , which is the are out of pocket, which is the most important thing for a passenger, of course, but there are still many problems today, not necessarily with delays or cancellations, although there are some delays, but mostly with baggage. and for those that have checked in baggage, it could be some days before they get their baggage back. and that is obviously very frustrating. >> i hate that paul, at the end of the world, thank you very much. >> he's the ceo of the pc agency and an aviation. >> and you don't think, will you get your bags back and when do you get them back, you know, and especially and whose bags do you get back. are they going to be yours. >> exactly. because, you know, i have my facial creams and my things. i like to use everything. >> so drama what a drama. >> so drama what a drama. >> i'd be angry, actually. >> i'd be angry, actually. >> not worried about your clothes? >> no, no. forget them. >> no, no. forget them. >> just the facial. >> just the facial. >> some more. so all my creams, my face and all that. that would really annoy me. women hate that i don't have that problem. well, stay with us because we've got loads still to come up next, former education minister robert halfon will give us his thoughts on labour's plans to drop guidance banning schools from teaching gender ideology . you teaching gender ideology. you won't want to miss that. this is

britain's newsroom on

gb news. >> it's 1022. and britain's very >> it's1022. and britain's very smart, shiny new newsroom, which we like very much with andrew pierce and anna akua. and we've got our panel. former education minister robert halfon, who we hopeis minister robert halfon, who we hope is going to become a regular and needs no introduction. gb news senior political commentator nigel nelson robert, former education minister. there it is on the front of the times, front of the telegraph. labour are going to make it easier for people to legally transition. we're talking about kids here under present rule, transgender people wishing to have their genders legally recognised must get a gender recognition certificate. theidea gender recognition certificate. the idea being they'll have lived in their different gender. i was going to say different sex, but i'll get shouted at different gender for two years. so this is all going to be

relaxed. just at a time when i thought it'd all been calm down after the great cass review. >> well, you got it exactly right. and no wonderjk rowling said what she did over the weekend. she said that labour would start unwinding all this stuff , and i would start unwinding all this stuff, and i think anyone thinking of voting reform out there , you know, not only will there, you know, not only will they get labour, but they'll get all this kind of thing and reform, hate this, reform, hate reform, hate this, reform, hate reform . voters hate this. reform. voters hate this. >> but you say that. but it depends. if enough people vote reform, then there doesn't. anyway, it sounds like we're going to get labour, so yeah, but it's not going to happen. >> do you have to deal with the world as it is, as well as the world as it is, as well as the world you'd like it to be? and all the reform are going to do is stop conservatives getting a seat, and then they. yeah, but that's a separate argument. >> but let's get on to the gender point. you're an education minister. for many years you've visited schools. you know about kids. what is this irresponsible? >> it's incredibly irresponsible . it's unwind. we had a settled position. in fact, i thought that what my former boss did, gillian keegan, was really moderate. it showed compassion for people who might be trans or trans people , and understanding

trans people, and understanding it just absolutely making it, making it clear. >> labour appeared to go along with, well, what we what we said was that there has to be a cooling off period , that there cooling off period, that there has to be proper consent from the parents before children reach 18 and labour now basically going to allow a free for all. >> that's what it looks like. and i think that, my boss, my former boss gillian keegan, she set out a quite a moderate position. and after the cass review and the irony is labour said they supported the cass review. >> this was this was the report into this is the report . into this is the report. >> yes. and what had gone on in the tavistock centre where you could children being encouraged. yeah. being given i mean it's unbelievable what went on puberty blockers and all this sort of thing and you know, so say to those potential reform voters out there be very careful how you vote because this is what you'll end up with. nigel you and i have clashed often on on this. >> yes we have. yeah. but i did think we'd got to a settled position. >> and after cass and the tories came up with a pretty moderate

position, i thought labour. this is definitely a sign that they're rowing back already . no, they're rowing back already. no, they're rowing back already. no, they're not even. >> all this is, is tidying up some legislation which is 20 years old, which is the gender recognition act. so what labour are talking about is , to get are talking about is, to get your gender recognition certificate , that means that you certificate, that means that you can legally change your gender on your passport, on your birth certificate for all official documentation under the present system . bear in mind, as i said system. bear in mind, as i said 20 years ago, this came in. a lot of anomalies have cropped up since then. under the present system, you live in your acquired gender. for two years. you get a diagnosis of gender dysphoria . then you go before dysphoria. then you go before a gender recognition panel, and that's made up of doctors, lawyers, psychiatrists and finally you get your certificate. now, the problem with doing that is that the people who are going to the panel have found it incredibly humiliating, panel have found it incredibly humiliating , with the result humiliating, with the result that not many people actually do

it. it's about 200 a year when an awful lot more people are changing their gender slowly, surely part of the process of doing something so life changing and drastic is that you will be scrutinised and put forward in front of people who can assess whether you are mentally capable and whether you are physically ready for what would happen to you. >> so it should be a rigorous, but you know, caring process. it shouldn't be, well, just hang around for two years. i think i want to be there. then two years later, just sign it, because that allows the door to be open to people who want to manipulate the system. >> but what this adds is that is instead of your two years beforehand, you have a two year cooling off period. afterwards at which point you can change your mind. you won't get your certificate until you've actually thought about about this whole thing , does it? this whole thing, does it? >> does it require you then to go through the process, the procedure that you would have had to go through previously? well, that's that's the problem. well, that's that's the problem. well, you have to you don't have to go through any procedures.

>> so it's not like you have to have surgery or something like that. >> the process, the process that you would go through to get your gender recognition certificate is quite complex and quite intricate. >> well, you enter the process. >> well, you enter the process. >> are they taking away from that process? >> yeah, you enter the process, but it shouldn't be terribly complicated. and all you're doing really here is if you've got the diagnosis of gender dysphoria from a, from a specialist , all the dysphoria from a, from a specialist, all the various things you were talking about there. nana are you mentally capable of doing that? are you the right person for it? all those things are taken into consideration at that stage, so they're not going to go through they're not going to go through the panel and all the things you described? no, the idea is to get rid of the point is we had a settled position. >> yeah. the labour party said they support the settled position. now when it looks like possibly , i hope very much that possibly, i hope very much that they might win. but, you know, it's never over till it's over. they're now saying they're going to unwind it all. and why , why i to unwind it all. and why, why i have but it shows what they're going to do when they're in power, not what it was settled. >> there are two different things here. >> we're talking about children. >> we're talking about children. >> yeah, exactly. >> yeah, exactly. >> and that's slightly different from what we're talking about here. the guidance. this is the

bureaucratic guidance. >> school guidance had a lot of support from know it's different. but they said they're going to unwind the school guidance. >> so how is it that somebody like joanna rowling who's who's brought so many young people into reading books. she loves children . she's got children. children. she's got children. she's an ordinary mum. she's in a 2000 word essay in the times saying, why i don't think i can vote labour because i don't trust him. i don't trust the labour party on gender ideology and women's rights. how could it be? the labour party has got itself in such a mess. >> well, but it's not a mess. i mean, she thinks it is. joe rowling is perfectly entitled to her own view . there's a lot of her own view. there's a lot of people share that view, and she's perfectly entitled. i would say most people , would say most people, especially women, most normal people, would share jk rowling, especially women. >> women, they're going to believe jk rowling over bridget phillipson any day of the week. >> yeah, but we we're sort of going on on different directions here. j.k. rowling particularly wants to protect women's space. >> she's gone on. >> she's gone on. >> absolutely. right. that's what what also gender ideology. >> how are you going to how are the labour party going to

protect women? if so many people can then be under the umbrella of women, how can they then keep those spaces separate as required, if they do not follow the guidance that kemi badenoch has given that sex and gender there are only two genders? how are you going to do that? >> it's no reason why broadly you can't you can't follow that guidance. what they're going to do is they are going to look at it at especially in schools. but there's no reason why you can't follow that guidance. so that means we will be in a situation where women only spaces, changing rooms , lavatories, rape changing rooms, lavatories, rape crisis centres, women's prisons that a biological man will not be allowed into any of them. >> that's where we were getting to you anyway. could i ask you, nigel, how many genders do you think there are, i think there are two genders, right. >> oh, so why you haven't seen the list? >> if you've not seen the list, i know that there's a list of extra genders. >> i mean, non—binary is not recognised for any official purpose. well, it may be. as far as the law goes, there are two genders in this country, male or female, and you can change your

gender when you're an education minister. >> it was part of your prep with your with your civil servants. jennie bond all these ludicrous new names for genders. >> oh well, thank god it wasn't right because i was mainly focusing on apprenticeships and skills in my role and this didn't come up. but it is insane. some of this stuff, absolutely. i mean, i don't know, half of them. what half of them mean, i suspect you probably know one eighth of the senate's. >> i think you probably know two. >> you know, the fact is there are, you know, two genders. of course there are trans people. yeah. and you want them to have every a wonderful life and every compassion shown to them. but it's gone a little bit crazy. yeah. >> and really i'd rather they focus on education. well exactly. and instead of and they've had plans on schools which i don't understand why they're doing that. that's >> have we got time to do one more. we haven't we. >> yeah. let we're going to name dozens of new peers. >> but i thought you were an aboush >> but i thought you were an abolish it. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i don't believe it'll ever happen. yes. you're absolutely right that it is in the manifesto all over the age of 80 are out as well, all over at the age of 80. >> so that's neil kinnock.

>> so that's neil kinnock. >> i would disagree with that, by the way. i don't think that i think that's age discrimination and they shouldn't do that. right. the problem is that the that if you get this supermajority that rob is talking about and the danger of laboun talking about and the danger of labour, you know, just dominating the house of commons, the lords becomes the only place that will actually oppose what is going on and scrutinise legislation. >> so god forbid you have god forbid, you have opposition labour peers. no. but first of all, it's like saint augustine, give me chastity. but not yet. so they say they want to abolish the house of lords, but they want to put all their cronies in. so let's say if they get a majority, then they don't even want the scrutiny in opposition of the lords. they just want all their cronies to vote everything through and that will be a disaster. well, it's rather than your crony that will be a disaster. well we don't well your cronies dominated. but no we don't. >> that is complete nonsense. >> that is complete nonsense. >> the conservatives do not. if you include all the independents and crossbenchers and they don't have a majority, the conservatives do not have a majority. if you look at how many times the conservatives in the house of lords have lost votes, it's a huge amount, huge amount of time. so there's no conservative majority in the lords anyway. it's a complete myth, but 104 more mps, they

were tory peers , but the were tory peers, but the conservatives don't have majority. >> and all those bishops always vote with labour and the crossbenchers and the independents usually . independents usually. >> and what they were saying, if we get a majority in the commons , which i hope they don't, they're just saying, okay, we're going to we're going to control the lords as well. so nothing will be scrutinised. >> are you going to go in the lords? >> robert halfon there'll be a queue bigger than selfridges i think to get in the house of lords. well listen, listen, you know we do have to go on that. >> i think you'd be a very good adornment. oh, well, thank you. >> well, to tell that adornment. >> well, to tell that adornment. >> oh, well, no, that you'd be a not doorman. >> you'd be an adornment. oh, adornment. >> sorry. >> sorry. >> i used to sit in the doorkeepers. >> we need to get to the news. so thank you very much. robert halfon and also nigel nelson. right. time to get your latest headunes right. time to get your latest headlines with sofia. >> gnaana. thank you. it's 1033. >> gnaana. thank you. it's1033. i'm sophia wenzler in the gb newsroom. your headlines. a senior member of the conservative party has criticised calls to suspend two

trace last monday in tenerife. >> now, yesterday, police were searching a village near the last location. his phone was traced but no sign of him has been found . joining us now is been found. joining us now is journalist gerald cousins, who's in marbella. gerald, this seems very odd in a sense because where he first reported or phonedin where he first reported or phoned in to his friend to say that he, he was needing water and that he'd cut his foot or his leg, he was in an area that was it wasn't really so remote. so why are they having trouble finding him? it just seems a bit odd . odd. >> well we don't. morning. we obviously don't know if after that call he stayed put or he moved on from there , very likely moved on from there, very likely he moved on, at and so the police are, you know , going on police are, you know, going on that, but it is a very, very difficult terrain, again, i've just spoken to the police, the

operation of the search operation of the search operation is continuing very much in the same way it has now been going on, for a week , but been going on, for a week, but lots of places he could fall. have an accident, and his behaviour wasn't wasn't entirely predictable, we know he wanted to get a bus back to the south, and yet he was seen walking away from the village in the opposite direction after stopping a neighbour to ask for the bus timetables. so that also goes against the, is another problem for the police. and had problem. >> he'd been at a rave, hadn't he , gerard with some mates. and he, gerard with some mates. and there's a lot of footage emerged. but what i find really strange is all the stories today are running, stories about how his mother , who was out there his mother, who was out there looking for him, as you'd expect any mother to do , she's being any mother to do, she's being trolled on social media, you think? is nothing sacred anymore? i mean, why would anybody turn on a mother who's desperately looking for her 19 year old son, who's been missing for the best part of a week? what is the matter with people? >> it's absolutely awful, you

know, these people just need to get a life, you know , she flew get a life, you know, she flew out. debbie flew out immediately. she was. she was told the news. she hasn't been up to the to the scene, but that's because she she she openly admits she'd find it. she, too upsetting , but she's she, too upsetting, but she's there, and, you know, to be receiving this sort of criticism on top of the nightmare she's already enduring , it just already enduring, it just beggars belief. >> yeah. now she's also asked that british police could assist, to help overcome problems with language and so on and so forth. but what could they honestly do if they did assist him and they don't know the terrain? what use would they be? >> i mean, it's my personal opinion is that the work on on, on the ground is best left to the to the local police . they're the to the local police. they're mountain experts who, who know who know the area. i think maybe the british police would be an extra helping hand when it comes to issues of language. and perhaps a presence there would maybe encourage , british maybe encourage, british speaking people to come forward,

with, with information they may have so i can understand the mother, debbie, wanting to everything possible to be done, and that if necessary, you know, be in the presence of british police, it's a very emotionally charged situation , but i think charged situation, but i think the spanish police are, you know, handling it well , albeit know, handling it well, albeit in a very different manner to the way the british police would, would be doing, which is maybe to be, publicly making an appeal alongside the family, the spanish guardia civil just do not do things this way. they're quietly working away in the background, and focused as they told me this morning when i spoke to them, totally, 100% focused, on on the work. they're doing. >> i'm gerard, the thing that worries all of us watching is the heat, we're now in nearly in july. there's even a prospect of some sunny weather in england. for god's sake, how hot is it now in tenerife? >> yeah, i mean, obviously it's , >> yeah, i mean, obviously it's, very hot, but also the temperatures drop at, towards

the night—time. so this is this is the problem , and he wasn't is the problem, and he wasn't dressed , you know, to experience dressed, you know, to experience those sort of temperature differences , and we know he differences, and we know he didn't have water, so he's, he doesn't know the terrain. and as far as i know, he's no expert in the mountains. so all that is going against him, so it is very, very, very concerning, obviously primarily for his family and friends, but for everyone else who is, who is, who is watching this and just hoping that that it has a successful outcome and that he's found, well, you know , safe and found, well, you know, safe and well. but with every day that passes, you know, realistically that, that, that, that, that possibility becomes less and less. >> oh, gerard, thank you very much. that's gerard cousins who is in marbella. >> and we'll of course keep you up to date with that search, which is ongoing because it has been a week now . yeah. and mum been a week now. yeah. and mum went out there straight away. it is shocking that she's been attacked on social media. >> people are what's wrong with people. why would you do that. >> yeah. so courageous isn't it. they're comparing her with karen matthews. do you remember ? she's

matthews. do you remember? she's the one who pretended her daughter had been kidnapped and she was hidden in an ex—boyfriend's house or something, all because she hasn't gone up to the actual place where he went missing. because she said she would find it too harrowing and distressing, which i sort of get i >> -- >> well, i mean, and the police are doing that anyway. >> and also, the last two people who saw jay, i think they're here in the uk. i mean, it'd be interesting if they could. i don't know whether the police have followed up that enquiry. i'm sure it would be interesting. i'm sure they see how. >> now. >> up next, could england win the euros? no point asking me in nana because we don't know. but we are going to bring you some opinion. you're in britain's live across the united kingdom on

gb news. >> well. good morning. if you just joined us, we've just woken up. no. we haven't. this is britain's newsroom. we're live on gb views. >> well, they're out scotland of the euros . late goal from the euros. late goal from

hungary in the 100th minute. apparently didn't play very well and didn't deserve to win. >> but to join us in the heartbreak is sports broadcaster aidan magee. they didn't play well, did they ? well, did they? >> no, they didn't play play well. it was quality. it wasn't necessarily about passion, effort, even tactics. i wouldn't say it was just in the key areas. same as has been the case for scotland since probably about the 1998 world cup, probably even before that. you would argue they didn't have the quality in the key areas, but you know what? they're back in the habit of getting qualified for tournaments. it's quite advantageous with the euros. it's a bit easier to qualify now for smaller nations. so i think you'll see them come back again. and once you've got the incentive of being able to play at these tournaments, sometimes you see kids take a bit a bit more notice when they're playing in playgrounds. i think i want to play for scotland, and so i don't think the it's not been a disastrous experience for them. they gave themselves a chance going into the final game of the group group stage to get through to the next round. if they'd done that yesterday, it would have been immortality. so they've not actually achieved any less or any more than any of their predecessors. and some of their predecessors. and some of their predecessors. and some of their predecessors had players like graeme souness, kenny

dalglish, archie gemmill and alan hansen in them. good news about alan hansen, by the way. of course, yesterday at a hospital. indeed. yeah, absolutely. that's that's fantastic news for everybody to heat fantastic news for everybody to hear. and so look, i don't think once the once the kind of the recriminations have ended in the next week or so and it will happen pretty quickly. and the scottish fans have gone home. i don't think they will reflect on this tournament too badly. i do think they probably should have had a penalty yesterday. i think that if the var is there, it has to look at that situation. are they not use it? no, they didn't seem to. it didn't seem to refer the referee didn't referee was happy with his on field decision. and so the game goes on. but he but the player had his calf nudged certainly in the box and that put him off balance. and i think that that i don't think the scotland would have deserved it necessarily, but i think it would, it should have been a penalty and that would have changed the whole complexion. >> we've got to gear up now for the big one now for england. the next match, we've won one drawn. you've not been pretty overwhelmed with either performance, particularly . performance, particularly. >> no i haven't. >> no i haven't. >> do we have to win the next one? no, we don't have to. >> no, i mean, at four points you'd be very unlucky, which we already have. right you'd be extremely unlucky. no team in

euro history has ever failed to go through to the knockout stage or phase with. with four points, they need a win to raise the morale. they need a performance. andrew. that's what. that's what they need. that's what they need to get people back on side. >> what would happen, how would they lose with four points? what does the score have to be? what would i think? >> there has to be a massive swing in goal difference. they'd have to be one of the. in fact, i don't think it can happen. in fact, you won't. we won't find out till wednesday because what happens is the top two of every group go up and then it's the next four best qualifiers. i think it is from the from from from third place. so england are home and hosed. and the goal difference is positive. but i think they will win tomorrow and loads of fans there. as you'd expect. we've had the harry kane thing as well and harry kane is somebody i love. i've dealt with him many times down the years at tottenham and great fellow, fantastic performer, has made a real fist of his move to bayern munich as well, scoring loads of goals over there. and then he comes out yesterday in his press conference. he seems to use it to take aim at gary lineker, who deigned to suggest that the performance was , and he used the performance was, and he used the four letter expletive that we're not allowed to use on this program, alan shearer the same

celebrated names within football . and i'll tell you what, you don't achieve anything nana if you get into spats with the media, you just you just generate a noise around your team. >> i think just as gary lineker can complain , so can harry kane. can complain, so can harry kane. i mean, harry kane is an incredible footballer. i mean, he has scored 93 caps for england, hasn't he? yeah, he has , but nobody's nobody's saying you shouldn't have the right to you shouldn't have the right to you know give a bit back. that's fine. gary should know what it's like to be under that kind of pressure. but i do agree he's allowed to say stuff. but then it means that we can say stuff too. i mean, at least, at least harry kane didn't in 1990. >> i think we've got the footage. >> i think we've got the footage of gary lineker. i don't know if that's if that's right. if anyone can tell me, i think we've got we can hear what harry kane says. >> this is the very overpaid gary lineker because he is overpaid. >> yeah. yeah he is overpaid. >> yeah. yeah he is overpaid. >> yeah. yeah he is overpaid. >> yeah he is. but this is a separate i mean look england players are probably sitting in the camp saying well hang on. he's using us to boost the numbers on his podcast, which is probably fair, but i cover man united for years. yeah. and you know, i worked for the news of

the world was the biggest newspaper in the world at the time. we had huge, huge numbers and we used to criticise man united all the time. alex ferguson used to just brush off. he used to say water off a duck's back. and you know what? the only place andrew you can prove anyone wrong is to get on the pitch and get the results and the mood changes altogether. and, you know, england, they've beenin and, you know, england, they've been in this situation before. euro 96 criticised from pillar to post. and then they produced a performance against holland and everyone forgot about it. >> well it wasn't kane tetchy because he knows the criticism was true. they were useless. yeah. >> you only get i think you'd only get to be bothered if you, unless there was a, you know, if there wasn't a semblance of truth about it. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> well at least that's my view anyway. >> hasn't actually, i if we could criticise we'll talk about that. >> why do they pay lineker 1.3 >> why do they pay lineker1.3 million a year to two matches day? >>i day? >> i think it is. i'll do it for a hundredth of that. oh, i don't know anything about football, but does it matter? >> well, give me a ring and i'll give you. >> i'll give you, give me some tips. >> we can do it together, can't we? yeah. >> nana. >> nana. >> you could do it. we could do the three of us. yeah. there's a bid job. >> the gary lineker thing, by the way. i mean, i dealt with

him years ago at the news of the world. he was our columnist. but, you know, this whole thing about you suddenly ventured into politics five years ago. an attempt to keep himself relevant. that's all it is. because he's in his 60s. he's seen lots of his contemporaries unfairly. yeah, pushed out, pushed, pushed out and he doesn't want to go the same way. >> well, listen, thank you very much, aidan. still to come find out why divebombing seagulls are a danger to posties. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> hello. very good morning to you. it's going to turn hotter in places this week, although it's not going to be entirely sunny every day. there's some patchy cloud around this morning , although it's mostly fine for many. that patchy cloud continues to affect the south and southwest and western scotland. northern ireland sees a thicker cloud to begin things, with some outbreaks of mostly light rain and drizzle that will tend to fizzle out by the afternoon, with some brighter weather coming along and for the vast majority, it's a decent enough summer's afternoon and with the right amount of sunshine, temperatures will

reach 26 to 28 celsius towards the south—east 24 or 25 further north and across much of scotland and northern ireland. it's a sunnier end to the day, but for the midlands into central southern england there will be some cloud lingering at this stage away from the cloud, temperatures are holding up at 22 to 24 celsius as we go into the evening. the best of the sunshine, i think, will be across northern england , across northern england, southern scotland, eastern scotland, for example. thicker cloud still there across western scotland and northern ireland, although some sun will come through later in the day. and there's another area of cloud and rain waiting to come in for monday night. initially that's light and patchy, but the breeze will pick up and by midnight i think some more persistent damp weather arrive into lewis and harris, perhaps affecting western parts of northern ireland by this stage as well. clear spells elsewhere . but clear spells elsewhere. but whether you've got the clear spells or the low cloud, i think temperatures will stay at 15 or 16 celsius. a muggy night to

come for many, but it's a bright start to tuesday. plenty of fine weather out there . one exception weather out there. one exception once again northern and western scotland. northern ireland thicker cloud here. outbreaks of light rain at first. and as that cloud drifts its way eastwards , cloud drifts its way eastwards, we could see some heavier rain developing for northeast scotland and some showers for northern england. further south, the heat intensifies 28 or 29 celsius, 30 degrees. by wednesday. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers, sponsors of weather on

gb news. >> morning. 11 am. on monday. the 24th of june. live across the united kingdom. this is britain's newsroom with andrew pierce and anna akua in for bev turner. >> well, first up, conspiracy of silence. that's what the institute of fiscal studies has accused labour and the tories of

, as it warns that households must brace for tax rises in the next five years. >> and labour's transplant, the party looks set to rip up the tories trans ideology. school ban and will teach children. there are more than two genders. just when we thought it was all settled, goodness sake , election settled, goodness sake, election gamble gate that is still rumbling on. >> the gambling commission is investigating serious senior figures within the tory party over the allegations of election date bets. does rishi sunak need to take tough action on? >> is the nhs broken at us? almost 19,000 patients waited more than three days in a&e last yeah more than three days in a&e last year. it is, of course, a big major issue in the election. who do you think is best placed to fix our ailing health service and here comes the sun. >> yes, a yellow heat health warning comes into force today. i just thought that was summer. yeah, summer in exactly . yeah, summer in exactly. temperatures look set to reach 30 degrees. yes across the

country. i can't wait for it. and diving seagulls are causing havoc.even and diving seagulls are causing havoc. even though that's a swan. yes and a very nice . swan. yes and a very nice. >> have you ever been dive bombed by a seagull ? bombed by a seagull? >> i haven't, thank you. i have very pleased with that one, mr sandwich of mine by about second. >> really? just got it away in time. really amazing. >> did you see it coming in? you heard it, said seagull. >> it's like if you're in space. engush >> it's like if you're in space. english seagulls. they have to say seagull alert and just grab everything. >> really? yeah. terrible. >> really? yeah. terrible. >> they're like dinosaurs . like >> they're like dinosaurs. like a pterodactyl. >> pigs. >> pigs. >> i don't have any time for them. >> well, listen, we'd love to hear what you think. send us your thoughts, post your comments at gbnews.com/yoursay >> may 1st is the headlines with sofia .

sofia. >> andrew, thank you from the gb newsroom. at 11:02, your headunes. newsroom. at 11:02, your headlines . britain's next headlines. britain's next government will need to make big decisions over taxes and the size of the state, according to the institute for fiscal studies. unveiling its analysis of the major parties manifestos this morning, the think tank said taxes are near the highest level ever, but ifs director pauljohnson level ever, but ifs director paul johnson said public services are continuing to struggle. >> he called this a conspiracy of silence, and that has been essentially maintained regardless of who takes office. following the general election. they will they might get lucky , they will they might get lucky, but unless they get lucky soon, face a stark choice raise taxes by more than they've told us in their manifesto , or implement their manifesto, or implement cuts to some areas of spending or or break their fiscal rules and allow debt to rise for longer. that is, to use that horrible word, the trilemma . horrible word, the trilemma. >> meanwhile, in northern ireland, the democratic unionist party has launched its manifesto

speaking at the launch, dup leader gavin robertson said every vote counts as the publication of our manifesto marks ten days to polling day and make no mistake, the outcome of this election will matter. >> the democratic unionist party has the strength and the depth to be able to unashamedly make the for case northern ireland. we go to parliament and we make that case on your behalf. the dup has an experienced track record of working for you on the issues that matter, whilst others talk about delivery . others talk about delivery. >> now, a senior member of the conservative party has criticised calls to suspend two candidates accused of betting on the election. chris heaton—harris says it amounts to suggesting they're guilty until proven innocent. it comes after former minister tobias ellwood called on rishi sunak to suspend those involved. but the northern

ireland secretary insisted that while one of the candidates admitted to placing a bet and accepted that it was wrong, the investigation is still ongoing and facts must be determined. >> gambling commission are looking into the betting scandal. they've issued a statement over the weekend that says they're investigating it. they are not going to confirm or deny names, and they're not going to comment further. while the investigation goes goes on, rishi sunak has said himself that if anybody's found guilty in that investigation , then in that investigation, then they'll be thrown out of the party. i don't think it can be much clearer than that. >> but labour shadow health secretary wes streeting says the prime minister has shown a lack of leadership. >> rishi sunak is the only person in this country who knew for certain when the election date would be, and who he chose to share that information with. we already know that one of his closest parliamentary aides placed a bet, and he has accepted that, and he's apologised for that. but, you know, from the prime minister, we've seen a total weakness and lack of leadership and to now

try and suggest that somehow we're doing something wrong by asking for transparency in an election campaign , when, in election campaign, when, in other news, russia's dagestan region is beginning three days of mourning after gunmen killed 19 people, including several police officers . police officers. >> the attacks took place in synagogues and churches yesterday morning across two cities in the north caucasus. the region's governor says the organisation and motive behind the attacks is known, but he didn't provide any more details. yesterday's bloodshed comes three months after 145 people were killed in a shooting at a concert hall near moscow, which was claimed by the islamic state group. no one has claimed responsibility for this latest attack . the search for missing attack. the search for missing british teenager jay slater is continuing on the spanish island of tenerife. the 19 year old disappeared while on holiday last monday . yesterday, police last monday. yesterday, police were searching a village near the last location his phone was

traced to, but no sign of him has been found . jay has not been has been found. jay has not been heard from since , calling one of heard from since, calling one of his friends, telling her he has lost and his phone was running out of battery and he needed water. and flights are resuming at manchester airport, with departures expected to run as usual today after a power cut caused major disruption at the weekend . the airport's managing weekend. the airport's managing director apologised for the severe delays . the airline, severe delays. the airline, jet2, said it may take some time for all baggage to reach passengers, after the glitch meant some luggage wasn't loaded onto planes. and for the latest stories, sign up to gb news alerts by scanning the qr code on your screen or go to gb news. corach rambler . that's . corach rambler. that's. >> what is the time it is. it is. >> 1107 yeah. >> 1107 yeah. >> 1107 yeah. >> 1107 that's right. good morning. you're in britain's newsroom on gb news with andrew ipsis and nana akua. >> we are . oh, we're going to go

>> we are. oh, we're going to go live to edinburgh because i know this is the moment you've all been waiting for, where rishi sunak has joined the scottish tories . one ryan o'neal being tories. one ryan o'neal being kilt's because they're going to launch their own manifesto. so north of the border would have been very different. >> so douglas, on behalf of us all, thank you for your leadership . leadership. and it's only douglas and his team that have been prepared to properly stand up to the snp , properly stand up to the snp, standing against both nicola sturgeon's gender recognition reforms and the dangerous hate crime act. it shows you that only the scottish conservatives have the courage to stand up to the nationalists . now i'm proud the nationalists. now i'm proud to be prime minister of the united kingdom and to lead the

conservative and unionist party. as your prime minister, i see how our united kingdom is stronger together every single day . in this stronger together every single day. in this job we stand taller in the world. we pack a greater economic punch and we have more security because we stand united. now, the snp have let down scotland. their independence obsessions mean that they've neglected everything else, letting down scotland's children, letting down this country . all elections down this country. all elections have consequences. but this vote in scotland matters so much it will determine whether we have mps focused on the real priorities of the scottish people, or whether the divisive constitutional wrangling of the last decade continues . if the last decade continues. if the snp win a majority of the seats at this election , they will at this election, they will treat that as a mandate to carry on campaigning for independence for another five years, another five years of ignoring your priorities with mps achieving

little at westminster, a vote for the scottish conservatives is a vote to put this issue to bed. to move past these tired and stale arguments and to go forward, united and together as douglas said, the snp have put independence on page one, line one of their manifesto. they have put their political obsession on the line. the 4th of july is scotland's chance to end the decade of division, to put independence on the back burner for a generation, to get back to the issues that really matter to communities up and down this country . but that can down this country. but that can only happen if the snp are routed , if they do not just lose routed, if they do not just lose some seats, but the snp lose big and voting scottish conservative is the only way to ensure that that happens, because every

scottish conservative mp returned makes our united kingdom stronger and it sends a clear message . scotland wants clear message. scotland wants politicians who concentrate on the priorities of the scottish people and not constitutional monomania. that's right. now we conservatives have a clear plan, are prepared to take the bold action necessary to deliver a secure future for you, your family and our country. secure future for you, your family and our country . we want family and our country. we want to give you financial security so we will cut your taxes and let you keep more of your own money because you know better than the state how to spend it, and it tells you everything you need to know that while the snp are turning scotland into the high tax capital of the uk , high tax capital of the uk, hiking taxes at every opportunity , the conservative opportunity, the conservative government is cutting tax for workers here in scotland and across the united kingdom. we're

already cutting taxes by £900 for the average worker by reducing the national insurance tax . and if you offer us your tax. and if you offer us your support in this election, we will cut this tax again. but we conservatives also applaud those who have the courage to start their own business, to try and build something there . the risk build something there. the risk takers, the people who graft hard to make a living, who get our economy growing. but setting up on your own means you don't have the security that those on payroll have . so we must make it payroll have. so we must make it worth cutting. now, taking that risk. and that means these people's taxes must be cut. so in the next parliament, we will scrap entirely the main rate of self—employed national insurance a -- atax a tax abolished enterprise is

encouraged, but security also means a security of knowing that you will have a dignified retirement. so we will cut tax for pensioners with the triple lock, plus ensuring that the new state pension is never dragged into income tax. labour, by contrast, would introduce a retirement tax, meaning that those who rely entirely on the new state pension would be caught by income tax for the very first time in the united kingdom's history. now we know labour's record from the 75 state pension increase from gordon brown's £118 billion tax raid on private pensions. it's clear it's crystal clear, in fact, that your pensions simply isn't safe with the labour party our north sea industry isn't safe with labour either . the safe with labour either. the conservative government that i lead would always stand full

square behind scotland's north sea oil and gas industry. we're committed to new licences, more investment in infrastructure and skills and energy security for our country will deliver a secure future for the north sea industry and for the workers that it employs . or as labour that it employs. or as labour want to stop all new licences in the north sea from day one of a labour government, keir starmer and ed miliband want to tax the uk's oil and gas sector and the 100,000 scottish jobs that it supports into oblivion. but labour don't want to ban all oil and gas. it turns out just british oil and gas. they would rather virtue signal to eco zealots than protect jobs here at . at. home. and the snp, well, they are the nonh and the snp, well, they are the north east's great pretenders. they claim to be in favour of

new oil and gas, but then they oppose every single field that actually gets a licence. they say that they oppose extending the windfall tax on energy companies, but now they want to introduce a second windfall tax, and they say that they will back oil and gas workers, but they hit them with higher and higher taxes each and every year. you can't trust the snp to stand up for the future of oil and gas, because when push comes to shove, they put radical environmentalism ahead of pragmatism and livelihoods. there is only one party with a clear and unequivocal position on the future of our oil and gas industry, who are standing up for north east livelihoods and communities. no ifs , no buts. communities. no ifs, no buts. it's the scottish conservatives .

it's the scottish conservatives. it's the scottish conservatives. it is only the scottish conservatives who will stand up for the north east. fishing industry to the eu are already making clear that the price of any deal that labour wants is a sell—out of our fishing industry, and who doubts that keir starmer would pay that? and while the snp would surrender all of our new freedoms, it is only the scottish conservatives who will stand up for scotland's farmers from the borders to the north—east. we will legislate for a uk wide food security target. we will increase farming funding and ring fence it, and this will require the scottish government to report on how this money is being spent to support our farmers and boost our food security . we will not let the security. we will not let the snp let down our farmers again . snp let down our farmers again. so in this election, we must send the nationalists the strongest message possible that the people of scotland want to move on from their independence,

obsession and voting reform risk letting the nationalists off the hook. letting the nationalists off the hook . don't let your frustration hook. don't let your frustration allow the snp to keep the constitutional debate going. voting reform risks letting the snp slip in through the back door , and they are not on the door, and they are not on the side of who you think they are. reform a standing candidates here in scotland that are pro—independence and anti—monarchy. and you all heard what nigel farage said about ukraine that plays into putin's hands. that kind of appeasement is dangerous for britain's security, the security of our allies that rely on us and will only embolden putin. so if you want to beat the snp and stand up for the uk, then you have to vote scottish . vote scottish. conservative. and in conclusion, i'll just say

this i cannot adequately express what my family and i owe our country. my grandparents came here with almost nothing, and i stand before you as our prime minister in no other country would my story be possible . and would my story be possible. and that's why i will always work as hard as i for can all of you in the next five years. if you ask me to continue as your prime minister, i will do everything i to can deliver for you. i want to can deliver for you. i want to make britain stronger, better , more secure, and we conservatives will always stand for our united kingdom for and our values, for aspiration, for freedom , for opportunity, for freedom, for opportunity, for security. our country needs a secure future, not more posturing about independence . posturing about independence. our country wants a clear plan and bold action, and it is a vote for the scottish conservatives that will secure our united kingdom's future . our united kingdom's future. >> the two best words in that

speech for me were in conclusion, robert halfon as someone who was until very recently a tory mp, that's not going to inspire the scottish voters particularly, is it? well, i think the important thing is that everyone knows that the conservative party is the key party that's going to stand up for the union. >> i thought you were going to say you were going to say toast. >> that is no, the stand up for the union. and everyone knows that. and if you don't vote conservative, you're likely to get a potential break—up of the united kingdom, especially if the snp are get get votes. but also, i'm glad that he spoke about the national insurance cut for the self—employed . and, you for the self—employed. and, you know, so i don't think anyone watches these kind of manifesto speeches anyway, whoever it is. but the crucial thing is what are the policies? some people might say, stand up to the union, cut income tax. >> i think that's a well, some people might say it's a bit late in the day because we're at times of covid, it didn't seem like the self—employed were considered. and he was the chancellor at the time. and also ir35, which was created and set up ir35, which was created and set ”p by ir35, which was created and set up by the tories and is not not

a great thing. but don't forget, we spent nearly over £450 billion on covid trying to help businesses up and down the country, including my. many of the self—employed, were not helped at all. 3 million. >> there were some of them who didn't get the help, but most businesses in the country, small and large , got significant and large, got significant amounts of money, which is one, by the way. it's one of the problems why we face today while we're in debt. >> and no, i think that's have enough money. >> i think one of the big problems is fraud, which they allowed as well. >> let's be honest. in essence, scotland is going to be transformative in this election because in the last election, i think labour got one, almost two seats. two seats. yeah it's suggesting now they could have 2030. yeah >> i mean it looks like i mean the idea of scottish independence is, is off the off the agenda for i would have thought for another generation because, the snp look as if they're going to get something like half the seats that they have at the moment. and even then they need the majority in holyrood rather than westminster to start pushing through that independence thing. i appreciate

it's the british government that that allows independence, but even so , i just don't see how even so, i just don't see how the snp could do it. >> they've sort of got themselves into a bit of a mess like the tories had, because you had nicola sturgeon as first minister. yeah, gone. replaced by humza yousaf. everybody knew him by his nickname humza useless . yeah. went gone and now useless. yeah. went gone and now we've got a third one. john swinney, who was scottish snp leader for a few years, 20 odd years ago, wasn't very good at it and he's a he's a sturgeon ally . ally. >> yeah, but he has stabilised the ship. and the one thing the one thing is that about rishi. well i think rishi probably did . well i think rishi probably did. i mean, the only thing is that what's going on at the moment for rishi, it's not rishi sunak's fault or not all his fault that the tories are in the dire straits they're in at the moment. >> i think a lot of it is actually well. >> the rod started with boris johnson. it was compounded by liz truss and the voters . public liz truss and the voters. public opinion is a bit like an oil tanker rather than a speedboat. so the result is it moves very

slowly. public opinion has been moving ever since boris johnson was there. it started with partygate. it continued with a variety of other mistakes. liz truss comes up with a completely bonkers budget , truss comes up with a completely bonkers budget, and so truss comes up with a completely bonkers budget , and so the bonkers budget, and so the voters are saying, well, hang on, what is there in it for us? and i think that rishi sunak did actually stabilise the party after those two, but not enough. by after those two, but not enough. by that time that the game, the game was over. >> is that fair? >> is that fair? >> i, i mean, look, as you were a boris fan initially. >> yeah, i did love i, boris and i was upset about the parties, but i was more upset about the chris pincher thing, just the way that was handled. you remind people that was a deputy chief. >> the deputy chief behaved inappropriately, behaved inappropriately, behaved inappropriately, but they the impression that had been given is that they knew they said they didn't know about it and they'd know it. been going on for some time. yeah. and i voted for bofisin time. yeah. and i voted for boris in the no confidence motion. but after the chris pincher thing, which only happened a couple of weeks after, i was a bit fed up to be honest. yeah, really disappointed because i thought that they would he would change and things would be brought back

to order. but the key thing, and this is where i do agree with you, nigel, is that we went to down 20% in the polls when liz truss was there. right. and my, my constituents servants really struggled when that went on. i had a small business lady, amazing person crying because the mortgage rates had gone up, worried about the loans , worried about the loans, businesses telling me they think it's a little unfair. hang on. the dollar. the dollar, the dollar plummeted. the pound against the dollar plummeted . so against the dollar plummeted. so that was hurting small businesses with their exports, i don't think it's unfair. you don't think it's unfair. you don't think it's unfair? absolutely not. >> a lot of people are piling this on liz truss, but yet mortgage rates would have had to have gone up. they were ridiculously low for too long. that would have happened. do you not think that she was part of it was a bit of an easy excuse to just all pile it on her. >> the reality is, when that time we went to down 20% in the polls, roughly when she was there, and we haven't recovered since . and maybe you're right, since. and maybe you're right, mortgage rates probably and interest rates would have had to go up. but the problem was the economy was in freefall. that's why she sacked kwasi kwarteng. that wasn't that was her doing that. that wasn't that was her doing that . and she brought in jeremy that. and she brought in jeremy hunt to try and stabilise the

economy and my constituents. unfortunately, it was a bit like our moment with john major. they still remember that , although still remember that, although i do think she has stabilised the economy. we've got inflation down our cost of living, you know, a lot of help for people with the cost of living. they've done some tax cuts. but of course there will be more if the conservatives won the won the election. >> i think it's the infighting more than anything that people just got sick and tired of. there's no unity with the party. >> also, robert, 14 years been in power a long time. people think, oh , time, it's the time think, oh, time, it's the time for change. >> i mean, i mean, that's one of one of the major motivations in an election. if you if you look at our recent past. yeah, margaret thatcher lasted 13 years, then you had 13 years of new labour. yeah, if anything , new labour. yeah, if anything, that the tories have been lucky to get an extra year. >> yeah, exactly . >> yeah, exactly. >> yeah, exactly. >> let's get into some other stories. >> if they were really good, people would keep them and they're not. so i think that's why they're going, who wants to talk about the football silence. >> well should kane was harry kane right to criticise lineker

because gary lineker said the england football team was a four letter word? and he said on his podcast , for which he makes podcast, for which he makes a lot of money, he makes a lot of money, by the way, as a overpaid bbc commentator in my view, robert, well, you wouldn't be surprised. >> i'm not a great fan of gary lineker. >> no. >> no. >> me too, and harry kane said he should know better because he's managed. good luck to harry kane. >> yeah, and it's a bit like conservatives criticising who who are fighting candidates criticising the conservatives dunng criticising the conservatives during the election campaign. >> yeah i'm not going to get on here and do that. >> yes. we can have a post—mortem afterwards. yeah. because i want to support all my colleagues. but you don't start criticising your own side in the middle of a campaign that's legitimate. >> can we talk about brexit? because i talk about brexit because i want to talk about that. because i'm bored of gary lineker. i think he's taken up too much of the show already. but nigel, i'll start with, you know, eu dialogue without free movement. barnier tells labour yeah, so there this sounds like keir starmer has to acknowledge this. if he's saying that we're going to have closer ties with the eu. >> yes, i mean the point here is all michel barnier is doing is outlining the situation, but

basically as it's been since brexit. so if we were thinking of joining the single market, which we're not, we would have to accept free movement if we were thinking of, if we would have to accept free movement. it's a red line. that single market and free movement go along together for all 27 eu states. so how do we know labour are not going to take us, take us back into the single market? well, all you've got to do, you've got to base on what they've said so far, what they're talking about. nothing. they're talking well they're taoiseach, they're talking about they want they want to do everything possible to get us back. but what they're talking aboutis back. but what they're talking about is closer relations with europe . europe is still our europe. europe is still our biggest trading partner. >> so the single market, that's because we've been in the single. >> it doesn't it doesn't mean the single market. so for instance, let's take an example of something he might negotiate . of something he might negotiate. we've just introduced the border controls that we've been putting off and off. what it means is a consignment of meat fish or cheese. each consignment costs you £145 in paperwork . that's you £145 in paperwork. that's £330 million a year. it may well

be that that keir starmer will look at that and say, do we really need all these border checks to continue? maybe we do, maybe we don't. but it's part of a negotiation with europe that is not going back into single market. >> and but aren't these charges that europe have imposed on us as punishment for britain daring to leave the europe? >> it was part of the brexit deal >> it was part of the brexit deal. i mean, we were always going to get a situation if you're not going to have free movement of goods and people , movement of goods and people, then there's going to be border checks. there was always the position. i mean, when we went into brexit, we knew that was coming up . the question is, do coming up. the question is, do you need all these controls or not? >> robert. >> robert. >> they want to i mean, you just have to look at everything they say and the sort of subtext of the manifesto they want us to get back into the eu. but de facto, even if it's not in, in names, is everything eu but not in name, of course . but if you in name, of course. but if you look at the they want, they want, they want to they say they're going to renegotiate the deal they're going to renegotiate the deal. we've actually got a good deal. we've actually got a good deal! deal. we've actually got a good deal i think now. and rishi did the deal with northern ireland.

but everything all the labour mps are all remainers . they all mps are all remainers. they all want to go back in. there'll be an if they get a big majority there'll be enormous pressure. so i think you know, they you know, the fact is you vote labouh know, the fact is you vote labour, you get back in de facto back into the eu. >> and how is he going to square the circle of the fact that actually the eu is turning, swinging to the right is becoming very right wing. and actually if it sort of goes in sort of direction of my thinking, then i probably wouldn't mind going back in if it was more, you know, if it was more in tune with me, but it's not in tune with me. and a lot of people are being, you know, turned away from why is it that keir wants to go back there? >> well, i mean, what what keir starmer wants is a better trading relationship with europe and also as a way of controlling migration. >> well, how will he do that with schengen if he joins it? if we don't go into schengen? i mean, we're free movement of people. sorry. how will he do that if it's free movement of people? because they're having an even bigger problem than us? yes. >> that's right. i mean, the free movement thing would only

happenif free movement thing would only happen if we went back into the single market and we won't go back into the single market because what brexiteers would say is this is no longer brexit and they'd be right. so that's not going to happen. but the close relationship thing, when it comes to migration, what we what we need to do is get access to the 40 databases in europe that we lost over brexit. at the moment , that means negotiating moment, that means negotiating with each individual country to get some kind of deal whereby we can deal with migration. if you're able to deal with the eu as a whole, that would benefit the clampdown that is coming to deal with the migrants who are crossing the channel. >> do you think border command security that he's planning is actually another word for integration with the eu? >> no , i think that it's a >> no, i think that it's a beefed up, beefed up version of what we've got at the moment. and the key there , key there is, and the key there, key there is, and we'll have to see how it works, is introducing anti—terror laws to deal with the people smugglers . that's the the people smugglers. that's the departure from where we are at the moment. we won't stop the

boats. >> i mean, we've got beefed up border guard. there's you know, hundreds of millions of pounds to be invested in that. the only way you stop the boats have a proper deterrent and the rwanda is a deterrent . and just by is a deterrent. and just by saying we're having a what evidence is. >> so when the rwanda being a deterrent. >> well because it's worked in other countries that have done this well and we saw what we saw was happening in ireland, where people saying that refugees, refugees, illegal migrants , in refugees, illegal migrants, in my view, going to ireland because they want to get out of northern iron because they thought they were going to be. >> but that won't deter them crossing the channel. >> well, it certainly shows that people feel if you want to get across the channel and go through the fear of another way they're going through france. >> it's also why saying that you acknowledge it works. >> it's also european country europe. >> a lot of other countries are copying the idea. >> so european. >> so european. >> yeah, european union countries come ahead . countries come ahead. >> now they want to send people to work. >> third party. yeah i mean he's laughing. yeah. well the first thing is the labour government are going to do is cancel the rounder plan when those planes ready to go with refugees ready to go, and the first thing they do is going to cancel. >> and that's just a green light

for the traffickers. >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> and the poor across the channel they're going to pour across reasonably be cancelled is but it is not value for money. >> we're spending half a billion. >> come all here then keep them all here. send 300 people there. keep them all here. have a migrant in a hotel for 25 years. >> for that. >> for that. >> keep them all here. >> keep them all here. >> no space for our schools, no space for no homes. everything is clogged up. the nhs is a problem. and a big problem with thatis problem. and a big problem with that is the amount of people coming here who shouldn't be here. >> and you might as well go that much. >> 8 million a day. it doesn't take long to get to half a billion. >> i mean, all that's going to happenisif >> i mean, all that's going to happen is if labour get in and they say they're going to aboush they say they're going to abolish the rwanda thing from day one, you might as well go there with a megaphone on the in calais and just say welcome , calais and just say welcome, white cliffs of dover. >> instead of singing, there'll be a bluebird over the white because they will. >> all the traffickers will know there's no deterrent. there's a seagull and there's actually going, it's going away. going away from what? a lot of european countries are doing, what other countries have done, that they want. >> israel abandoned it, for instance. >> well , wasn't israel instance. >> well, wasn't israel abandoned rwanda? >> but, other countries have had third parties. the un have used

rwanda, but still are you still united nations? >> still are using it. exactly. but listen, the bottom line is there's no deterrent with a border command. >> security , whatever he's >> security, whatever he's calling it, catch them. well, exactly. he's going to i don't know, obviously, but you catch them and then you send them back. refuse well, listen, robert and nigel, thank you very much. really good to talk to you . but time now for your news headunes . but time now for your news headlines with sophia. >> nana. thank you. it's 1131. >> nana. thank you. it's1131. i'm sophia wenzler in the gb newsroom. your headlines. britain's next government will need to make big decisions over taxes and the size of the state. according to the institute for fiscal studies. unveiling its analysis of the major parties manifestos this morning, the think tank said public services are struggling despite near record high taxes . but labour record high taxes. but labour leader sir keir starmer says britain can do better . britain can do better. >> i don't accept the forecasts that say we can't do better than

this. the economy has flatlined for 14 years. that's exactly what we are wanting to change. that's why we've set out our plans for growth in our manifesto . so the choice is more manifesto. so the choice is more stagnation. as we've seen for the last 14 years, which hasn't done our country any good, or turn the page , rebuild, regrow turn the page, rebuild, regrow our economy and create wealth. so that across britain people feel better off. >> a senior member of the conservative party has criticised calls to suspend two candidates accused of betting on the election. chris heaton—harris says it amounts to suggesting they're guilty until proven innocent. it comes after former minister tobias ellwood called on rishi sunak to suspend those involved . sir ed davey those involved. sir ed davey says there are just ten days left to save the nhs after figures showed a sharp rise in a&e wait times. the royal college of emergency medicine says there's been a 100 fold increase in the number of people waiting 12 hours or more since

report. >> well. good morning. 34 minutes after 11:00. up next. good afternoon. britain. welcome, tom and emily. >> well, what you talk about this morning, we have a big show, actually, because first of all, well, i love the new studio. i feel nervous, it's so grand, i feel nervous. we are not worthy. we are not worthy of such a studio. it's beautiful. >> it's sleek. >> it's sleek. >> it's sleek. >> it's very sleek. i love these chairs. >> you're clowning with the chair. >> i am clashing a little bit. >> i am clashing a little bit. >> so well thought through. >> so well thought through. >> you've got a blue carpet, red chairs , white desk. it's very patriotic. >> it is very patriotic . >> it is very patriotic. >> it is very patriotic. >> it is very patriotic. >> i need to fill that out. thank you. yeah, yeah . thank you. yeah, yeah. >> very well. do you know what's happening? right at the top of our show? nigel farage, who's beenin our show? nigel farage, who's been in the news quite a bit over the weekend , he's going to over the weekend, he's going to be giving a speech in maidstone, kent. be giving a speech in maidstone, kent . so we'll be be giving a speech in maidstone, kent. so we'll be tuning in live to that, see if he speaks at all about his comments about nato and russia . and russia. >> i'm amazed if he does. >> i'm amazed if he does. >> burgeoning row between boris johnson and nigel farage as well. of course, they've been trading blows over the weekend. will he weigh in on that? we're

going to be having a debate on that very subject too. but also, of course, there's been the tories up in scotland . it might tories up in scotland. it might be the only seats they hold in scotland because they're facing the snp rather than the labour party. and for the labour party's part , of course, they've party's part, of course, they've got into this row over gender identity . identity. >> why have they done this? i mean, i don't understand it. it's really basic settled. yeah. and also boris johnson, he made similar comments many years ago. very similar to nigel farage with regard to russia. so it's and they were all literally saying the same thing when this war began. they're all saying, oh, because nato are encroaching on putin. that's why he's and i was literally one of the only people saying, well, it's because putin simply wants to reunite russia and get his own. >> he wants to get the soviet union back. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> yes. it is quite interesting. we're going to be speaking to a military expert, someone who's worked in nato, to sort of talk about nigel farage's comments. but yes, you're right, boris johnson did say similar with regards to the european union. he seemed to suggest that the european union was to blame for russia's aggression, with putin's sort of visions of

recreating this soviet empire, or perhaps more a sort of imperial russia might be his his bigger, wider historical arc. >> when he became president of russia for the first time, i think it was 2000, 1999, something like that, he changed the anthem. the russian federation ditched the old soviet union anthem when that country broke apart and got some new anthem, but no one could ever agree. new lyrics . what did ever agree. new lyrics. what did vladimir putin do when he became president? he brought back the old soviet anthem, but with changed lyrics. and perhaps the most remarkable thing about this whole story is that the man who co—wrote the original soviet lyrics, all the way back when stalin was in charge , wrote the stalin was in charge, wrote the new lyrics for vladimir putin. he did it first as a very young man and latterly as a very , very man and latterly as a very, very old man. >> fascinating. >> fascinating. >> thank you, tom, for that really interesting. no idea what you just said . you just said. >> all that and more at midday that was britain's newsroom on

gb news. >> good morning. if you've just tuned in. where have you been? we've only got 20 minutes left. don't go anywhere, though, because i've got loads still here on gb news. but first, the scottish tories weren't the only ones to launch their manifesto yesterday. the democratic union party or dup also unveiled their plans. let's hear what they had to say. >> the publication of our manifesto marks ten days to polling day. and make no mistake , the outcome of this election will matter. the democratic unionist party has the strength and the depth to be able to unashamedly make the case for northern ireland. we go to parliament and we make that case on your behalf. the dup has an

experienced track record of working for you on the issues that matter , whilst others talk that matter, whilst others talk about delivery . about delivery. >> well, let's let's cross live now to our northern ireland reporter dougie beattie for more. dougie, this election of course, is taking against a backdrop where we have for the first time the first minister in northern ireland, who is not from the unionist side of the equafion. equation. >> entirely correct, andrea. and really, that comes about because of one of the questions that i have asked all the unionist parties here is the shredding of votes . there is, to many votes. there is, to many unionist parties standing in these elections in what would normally be seen, safe unionist areas and they're splitting the votes 3 or 4 ways. and that is a big concern to voters that i have been out and talking to. about 80% of them are saying, would they all not just get together and represent this as one, but that that is pretty

typical of unionism in a lot of ways. if you go back to the 70s and 80s, we at one point had the ulster unionist council, which was one party, and then we had the sdlp , which was the the sdlp, which was the nationalist party after 1998 and the good friday agreement that started to drift apart. the ulster unionists and the next election after that pretty much lost control , election after that pretty much lost control, as did the sdlp. and what you had was these two opposites, sinn fein and the dup coming in at one another. the stuff around the framework document, the protocol cost the dup dearly in the last, mla elections. here and of course they lost two seats, which allowed sinn fein into power as the first minister. but sinn fein also have their problems here. we've seen that play out in the republic of ireland in those eu and local elections there, they lost quite a lot of their vote because of matters in there around immigration, which has played out in those working,

class areas. and really, i mean, i've been out speaking to a lot of people in those working class republican areas also, and they have still said to me that they would quite like a rwanda style deal to come into northern ireland. so that could affect sinn fein. but really the alliance party that have been sitting on the fence in most of this will stand in these seats and may pick up the seats also just by default because of the shredding of the unionist vote. >> dougie beattie, thank you very much . very much. >> we're going to go to wimbledon now where the lib dem leader, sir ed davey. he's been speaking to reporters on the election trail with him. >> we've made the nhs and care the centre point of our manifesto, with a huge package of £9 billion of investment. partly that's in gps and local services, so people don't have to go to hospital quite so much. part of it is in care so people can be discharged from hospital, and that relates to ambulance services. we've seen in many parts of the country delays at

hospitals for the handover, because there aren't enough beds, because people haven't been able to be discharged. so we've invest in care services so people can leave hospital when they're ready. that's better for them. it's better for their families. and it frees up space in hospital. >> the health foundation, though , reckons that neither the lib dems nor the conservatives nor labour are actually promising enough money to really make a difference to the nhs. but you're all going to fall short. >> well, i think everyone's recognised that liberal democrats are way ahead of all the other parties in our ambitious programme of 9 billion, and we are the ones talking about social care. do i think we need to do more ? we are think we need to do more? we are the ones calling for a cross party. organisation to come after the election to look at the longer term costs, which are so significant . but we think so significant. but we think there needs to be up front investment. and we're liberal democrats the only one saying that. >> so that was a lib dem leader, ed davey, in wimbledon, making

ambulances a key part of his campaign. well, people have had a wait a long time for an ambulance. yeah. >> too long. i think it all began when they tried to centralise the system. yeah. why would they do that? people from scotland getting an ambulance to someone in london, they don't know the terrain. you're better off keeping it localised the way it was before. i don't know why they did that. they're even talking about electric ambulances. can you imagine it? they can do a maximum. i think it was a 70 miles. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and then what happens if, they run out of power? >> well, everything runs on the electric, including , say, the. electric, including, say, the. >> and the grid network is hopeless and there's no infrastructure for recharging. >> i don't really know why they're doing this, but listen, this is a great story on the way. still to come dive bombing. seagulls are causing chaos in cornwall. and posties are the victims. tuned here with britain's newsroom on

gb news. >> well. a postman in a rural cornish town or village. say

they're living in fear. because they're living in fear. because they keep getting attacked by these wretched divebombing seagulls. and they're pretty big. >> some of them, they are massive. they're like dinosaur goals. now the royal mail has been forced to apologise to locals in liskeard for delayed deliveries after the aggressive birds were said to be targeting posties well , let's speak to our posties well, let's speak to our south—west of england reporter jeff modi. oh, you can hear him in the background now . crikey, in the background now. crikey, they're taking over. jeff, what? no. to talk to us. what is what's going on there ? what's going on there? >> well, forget the election. this is the story of the day, isn't it? >> the people of liskeard have been wondering for quite some time why their post hasn't been delivered properly, and they found an answer to that. it is the fact that seagulls are careering down out of the sky and attacking posties and preventing them from delivering mail and parcels. well on the 20th of june, all of the residents in liskeard received a

letter from the post office and it said as you may be aware, we are currently experiencing some difficulties safely delivering to you and your neighbour due to seagulls in the area swooping at delivery staff in order to protect their young. it goes on to say the purpose of this letter is to firstly advise you of the issues we are experiencing , but also to assure experiencing, but also to assure you that we will continue to attempt two deliveries every day. well, the problem is mainly that people are feeding the pigeons and the seagulls and they're coming in. i mean, we're about five miles from the coast here, but they're coming inland more and more looking for food that they're actually finding here. i've been talking to residents of liskeard this morning , and they're all morning, and they're all unanimous that this really is a problem. yeah >> no problem. >> no problem. >> and it's happened for years and years and years. it's when they've got chicks that's when they're very defensive, which is understandable. we've got them on our roof and we can't get

them. we've got babies out there. they're a nuisance. >> we've got the farm shop down there and they all conglomerate around there and, sadly there are people that feed them as well . well. >> and they do dive bomb this time of the year when they're getting babies, they they will attack anything, including the dog in the garden . dog in the garden. >> well, in the interests of balance, i was talking to a lady just now who said, look, lay off seagulls. they're absolutely lovely. they're great in towns. they make you feel like you're at the seaside. they're part of seaside life. leave them alone, but royal mail has said that people here have three choices. they can either wait till the post he can deliver safely, or they can pick up their mail from they can pick up their mail from the depot. or they can nominate another address, maybe in a different part of town that doesn't have this problem of seagulls. but from what i've seen this morning, the problem is pretty much everywhere. there's plenty of seagulls around here. yeah maybe they could just go and pick up their post. >> the people who think it's fine, perhaps they should give it a go and do some post office,

deliver some letters themselves. >> jeff, i think they're a wretched menace. >> well, most of the people here agree with you that 99% of the people here think exactly the same. they're wretched menace. and it's not just a problem here. i did a report a couple of weeks ago on bath, when people in bath were finding that, you know, the seagulls were ripping through their all of their rubbish. there was leaving mess all over the streets and over people's cars. so it is a problem. but then there are lots of people that support the seagulls and say, you know, look, you know, they're natural habitat has been ruined. we should be encouraging them, not to not calling them a menace. but most people think they're menace. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. >> me too. jeff >> me too. jeff >> stay careful jeff, because there's one coming in right behind you. >> watch out jeff! >> watch out jeff! >> duck! see you later. that is jeff got you going. >> that's liverpool. that's isn't it? that was a bit mean. that was a bit. well one could have been behind. >> you probably thought the microphone was something to eat.

sunshine, temperatures will reach 26 to 28 celsius towards the south—east, 24 or 25 further north and across much of scotland and northern ireland. it's a sunnier end to the day, but for the midlands into central southern england there will be some cloud lingering at this stage away from the cloud, temperatures holding up at 22 to 24 celsius as we go into the evening. the best of the sunshine, i think, will be across northern england , across northern england, southern scotland, eastern scotland, for example, thicker cloud still there across western scotland and northern ireland, although some sun will come through later in the day. and there's another area of cloud and rain waiting to come for in monday night. initially that's light and patchy, but the breeze will pick up and by midnight i think some more persistent damp weather will arrive into lewis and harris. perhaps affecting western parts of northern ireland by this stage as well. clear spells elsewhere. but whether you've got the clear spells or the low cloud, i think temperatures will stay at 15 or 16 celsius. a muggy night to come for many, but it's a bright

start to tuesday. plenty of fine weather out there. one exception once again, northern and western scotland. northern ireland thicker cloud here. outbreaks of light rain at first. and as that cloud drifts, its way eastwards, we could see some heavier rain developing for northeast scotland and some showers for northern england. further south, the heat intensifies 28 or 29 celsius 30 degrees by wednesday . celsius 30 degrees by wednesday. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boiler as sponsors of weather on
