9:37 am
say, well, you'll give them two years. well, what if a judge thinks they need five years or 18 months? >> it's sort of. it feels a little unprecedented. the idea i think presumably both both, i think 29% of people in england are a
9:38 am
customer of thames water. >> it is our biggest water company. >> if they don't put their bills up >> if they don't put their bills ”p by >> if they don't put their bills up by i think it was about 50%. we'll be talking about this this morning. then they aren't going to survive. and then what? because let's face it, there's one thing we can't live without. it is water. it's a huge headache for labour. this particular issue. and as andrew said, we're going to be hearing from steve read later, the secretary of state for the environment, who is going to be speaking at 11:00, and feargal sharkey, who is a great campaigner on water pollution , campaigner on water pollution, because i think he's got some quite interesting observations on what the government is or isn't doing. brilliant. isn't he? of course, he used to be a p0p he? of course, he used to be a pop star, didn't he, in the 80s and the 90s? certainly was feargal sharkey. and he's made he's made water a huge passion project of his. he's become an absolute expert on this topic. we're going to be seeing what he makes of this revelation. it's got some great headlines though. she has leaked boss water bosses face two years in jail. it's very much this labour are, you know, the party of law and order. yeah, absolutely. >> well angela rayner, she's the
9:39 am
deputy prime minister. she's vowing to speed up the removal of unsafe cladding from british buildings in the wake of that damning 1700 page grenfell inquiry report. >> so the deputy prime minister, housing secretary, says the pace of removal of the cladding over the last seven years was not acceptable. >> it comes after that grenfell inquiry report found the fire was caused by quotes. the systematic dishonesty of construction companies, which manufactured the cladding for tower blocks, refurbishment and that's what the seven year pubuc that's what the seven year public inquiry concluded . public inquiry concluded. >> well, so we're joined now by spokesman for end. our cladding scandal, liam spender. good morning liam. first of all, will you just explain the organisation that is end our cladding scandal because a lot of people will be watching this and presuming that this particularly flammable sort of building cover will no longer be in use . in use. >> good morning. yes. so it's end of cladding scandal. we represent leasehold leaseholders who are affected by cladding issues in buildings. and you're
9:40 am
quite right. even seven years later there are still buildings with dangerous flammable cladding installed on their exteriors roughly in this country. >> does that affect at the moment, liam? >> well, we think there are 11,000 blocks above 11m tall that are potentially still affected. there are tens, if not hundreds of thousands of people going to bed every night in buildings with dangerous cladding installed . and as we've cladding installed. and as we've seen just in the last few weeks, we've had fires in dagenham and catford, the building in dagenham was was undergoing cladding remediation when it when it caught fire. >> and just one of the points that really jumps out at me from your website is how many people that this affects have problems with their mental health because they go to sleep at night not knowing if they're going to wake up in the morning? >> absolutely. it's an enormous strain not knowing whether the
9:41 am
building you live in is, is safe when it will be fixed, how much you'll have to pay towards fixing it, whether insurers will still endure it, whether you can get a mortgage. there's a lot of pressure on on people. >> so liam , the report didn't >> so liam, the report didn't pull its punches. i don't think at all yesterday we've heard the deputy prime minister doing the media round today. she's the housing secretary said she is going to order this process to be speeded up . but how can she be speeded up. but how can she how can she how can she compel companies to speed it up if they don't want to? they won't . don't want to? they won't. >> well, i mean, that's the been the problem for the last seven years is the government has, has tried all sorts of means of, of coercing companies into, into performing remediation without success.i performing remediation without success. i mean, one thing we'd like the government to look at is doing the remediation up front and then holding developers, cladding manufacturers, other construction products suppliers
9:42 am
accountable . but that seems to accountable. but that seems to be something that's been blocked by the treasury. but that would be the quickest solution if the if the government took over the works and did them upfront and then pursued the people responsible. >> but that would be a very sensible solution. how much do you think that would cost ? you think that would cost? >> well, i mean, there's no reliable number of, of buildings and there's no, systematic assessment of which, which buildings are at most risk. >> so it's difficult to put a figure on it, but it, it would be expensive. >> the other point , liam, i >> the other point, liam, i mean, apart from a safety issue, there are many people living in flats, houses, flats . they're flats, houses, flats. they're unsaleable . unsaleable. >> exactly. yes. i mean, this this problem continues to reverberate out. so the 72 people who who died, i mean , if people who who died, i mean, if you can't sell your flats, it's not the same as as losing your life. and we don't pretend it is, but it does cause you an issue if you if you can't , if issue if you if you can't, if you can't move and you're
9:43 am
trapped in a, in a building, you don't want to live in anymore. >> are you one of those people, liam? presumably. what's your own personal experience of this ? own personal experience of this? >> so i do live in a in a cladding affected building, and originally i was told the cladding would have to come off and i would have to pay for it, i'm not sure what's happened because the managing agent, the. i live in a building where the developer took responsibility for it. but the managing agent hasn't given us any update , so hasn't given us any update, so i don't know if i'm if i'm still affected . it's sort of living in limbo. >> do you worry when you go to bed at night? >> i do. i mean, it's always something that's at the back of my mind. i mean, the way i comfort myself is saying, well, the building is more than 20 years old, and there's not much cladding on it, so hopefully it wouldn't be too much of a risk. but, you just don't know. it's a worry. you wouldn't want to have. >> and it's just the fact that
9:44 am
they say it makes it so much difficult in terms of the value of the building or whether you can sell it. liam, we hope that the conclusion of the report yesterday helps you out and you and the other members of end cladding. liam spender there. thank you so much for joining us.thank thank you so much for joining us. thank you. >> do you know that the times reported today that three of the cladding companies are still making £14 billion in sales every year? >> they are awash with money and yet they still haven't removed this cladding . it's shocking. it this cladding. it's shocking. it beggars belief. and the government say they're going to. great great words from angela raynen great great words from angela rayner. but how is she going to do it. >> yeah quite. well let's hope she does. it just means they have to to stand up these massive corporations. i'm not sure they've got the backbone to do it right. up next, tory leadership contest. dame priti patel is out in the first round. l, patel is out in the first round. i, for one, was quite surprised by that . robert jenrick has by that. robert jenrick has taken the lead, but there are only 28 mps backing him. what does that tell you? doesn't that tell you how far the tory party has fallen? hardly any of >> 121 of >> don't go anywhere. this
9:45 am
9:46 am
9:47 am
9:48 am
gb news. good morning. it's 948. thank you for joining good morning. it's 948. thank you forjoining us on britain's you for joining us on britain's newsroom. this is gb news. >> so priti patel was the first casualty. >> she was the first tory mp to be voted out of the tory party's leadership contest. the former immigration minister, robert jenrick, who i thought for some time will win, is the early frontrunner. but he got only 28 votes. >> now why is that surprising? it's surprising because it shows you how few conservative mps there are. just 121 and there's over 400 labour mps. so you could be leader of, well, let's say the contenders now include james cleverly. yeah. robert jenrick still in there. tom tugendhat, mel stride and kemi badenoch. >> yeah that's it. >> yeah that's it. >> let's talk to gb news political correspondent olivia utley to bring us up to speed. so the momentum is with jenrick. it's the key now is where the 12 votes for priti patel go. olivia >> well, exactly. the momentum is with jenrick. but the
9:49 am
competition is still really, really wide open. not a single one of the candidates managed to secure 25% of the vote, and kemi badenoch in second place is only 5 or 6 votes ahead of mel stride in fifth and last place. the question now is what will happen to those votes for priti patel? now, you might assume that they would automatically go to kemi badenoch because the two women are quite similar in terms of their political outlook, but that may not actually be the case. kemi badenoch isn't that popular among her own colleagues among mps, even though she's very popular with conservative members. and it could be that those who voted for priti patel did so specifically because they didn't want kemi badenoch to make it into the next round . so make it into the next round. so it could be that those 12 to 14 votes go as a block over to robert jenrick, who's the other sort of right wing candidate in the race. it looks as though if it if kemi badenoch is on the final two, if she goes if, if she's one of the options put to
9:50 am
conservative party members, she would almost certainly win. according to conservative home polls, she's on about 34%, with robert jenrick in second place on 17%. but it is just possible that conservative mps initiate a sort of stop kemi movement next week in which case it looks as though it's robert jenrick for the losing mel stride is the is interesting because most people thought but boring old duffer. >> and on that we have to go. sorry olivia, we've run out of time. on that bombshell. sorry, mel stride. if you're watching, i'm sorry. >> that's what people think. bofing >> that's what people think. boring old duffer. >> but what kind of like. genuinely. what is this leader of the conservative party going to do? like, what is it? is it a caretaker? what is it? >> well, exactly. because. >> well, exactly. because. >> because. does anybody think this leader will still be leader at the next general election? well, let's ask the shadow secretary of state for scotland, john lamont. john, good morning to you. perhaps a little unkind to you. perhaps a little unkind to call mel stride a bit of an old duffer, but that's what some people think, the momentum is
9:51 am
with robert jenrick, and i think that's where your vote went . that's where your vote went. >> yes, i voted for robert yesterday. i think he's demonstrated over the summer that he's got the drive and the commitment and the vision to take the conservative party forward. we need an effective leader of the opposition to hold this labour government to account. it's clear they have a wobbly start to their first few weeks in office, and we need a strong leader with that vision and with that conviction and energy. and i think robert's the man to do that. >> is anyone listening, man to do that. >> is anyone listening , john, to >> is anyone listening, john, to the conservative challenge that we have? isn't that the challenge for the next tory leader? is anyone listening to them? >> it's a huge challenge because we've just lost the, election. we need to listen to the voters . we need to listen to the voters. we need to listen to the voters. we need to understand why they have, delivered the verdict that they did on the conservative government and all those mps who sadly lost their seats . and sadly lost their seats. and frankly, nobody is listening. and the job for the new leader is to get us back into a state
9:52 am
where we can win elections again, understand why the voters gave us that verdict and put forward a policy platform and ideas and vision that's going to reconnect with british society. so yeah, you're right. they're not listening to so and that's the job and the challenge of the new leader. >> refreshing honesty john i like it. would the job description though for this conservative party leader include win the next election for us or will there be somebody else in that post come that time. >> so i think what the last few elections have demonstrated, and i understand this perhaps more than most, giving giving them a scottish mp just how volatile the electorate are just now. and in the old days, you know, i remember growing up in the 80s and 90s being most voters stuck with their party of preference and voting for them, whether it was a local election, scottish parliament election, general election, and they just generally stuck to the same party. but what is now very apparent is voters will change their vote depending on the election, depending on what level of government they are electing and i think despite
9:53 am
huge defeat that we've just, suffered and the apparent success of the labour party, there's nothing to say that come there's nothing to say that come the next election, voters could change their mind and decide they want to revert back to the, conservative party. so i don't think it's lost the next election, which is why it's all the more important we pick a leader now who has the drive and the conviction, the ability to reform the internal workings of the conservative party, but also develop policies and ideas that are going to connect with all those voters who deserted us in the last election. >> okay. all right. thank you. good to talk to you, john. come on again. secretary of state for scotland. john lamont there. >> nobody is listening. and he's. and he admitted it. >> he admitted it. >> he admitted it. >> nobody's listening . how do >> nobody's listening. how do they make them listen? the thing is, i quite like seeing the conservatives in opposition against this government now because they're doing so many extraordinarily shocking things. it's a really good opportunity, it's a really good opportunity, i think, for a really strong leader of the conservatives. still to come this morning, water bosses could face up to two years in jail. talking about kind of strange things that
9:54 am
starmer's government are doing because they're saying that these bosses could face two years in jail for failing to meet environmental rules. is that the job of the government? this is britain's newsroom >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on gb news . news. >> hi there. very good morning to you. it's time for the latest update from the met office. heavy rain in the south today , heavy rain in the south today, but mostly fine elsewhere with increasingly warm spells of sunshine towards the northwest. it will feel over the next couple of days, like summer has finally arrived in western scotland, northern ireland, northwest england. that's where the best of the sunshine will be with temperatures rising as a result. northeast england, as well as eastern scotland, plagued by low cloud, mist and drizzle. but it's towards south wales, the south of england, where we'll see increasingly heavy and at times thundery rain developing. yellow warning in force because that rain is going to accumulate 50 to 100mm each day through thursday, and into
9:55 am
friday. those spells of wet weather continue across south—west england into the south, as well as south wales dunng south, as well as south wales during thursday evening. heavy at times and persistent, could cause localised flooding as well as tricky conditions around the roads and rush hour. but further north much drier, albeit with a relatively thick and low cloud affecting eastern scotland and north—east england. some drizzle here as well. western scotland. a stark contrast. sunny skies as we end the day. likewise for western parts of northern ireland. we keep the clear skies in the northwest overnight, but elsewhere a lot of cloud cover, those outbreaks of rain continuing in the same places, easing off for a little bit. but by friday morning there is yet more heavy rain appearing into the far south once again. so a wet night to come for southern parts, but elsewhere, drier weather again, a lot of cloud as weather again, a lot of cloud as we start off friday, but there will be some sunshine around north of the m4 corridor. plenty
9:56 am
of sunny skies and increasingly warm now for some spots across western scotland and northern ireland. friday could be the warmest day since may. temperatures here reaching 25 degrees, but in the south it's not going to feel pleasant at all with that thick cloud. those outbreaks of heavy rain continuing on and off through the day . that warm feeling the day. that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb. news

10:01 am
>> i can see the logic on that youtube because what they're thinking is they don't want to impose upon children unrealistic ideas of what you should look like, like a 16 year old boy with a six pack, or girls being super skinny. but actually, we've never had more fat kids. quite right now, obesity is a huge problem. >> yes. and for under 18 seconds? yeah. >> why would you censor, say, joe wicks or an exercise routine instead of censoring? i don't know, more inappropriate content thatis know, more inappropriate content that is about violence or some of the terrible stuff that's on the dark web. yeah. what is the dark web? >> well, i've never been on it. >> well, i've never been on it. >> well, i've never been on it. >> well, anything that's because i think most children don't have access to the dark web. but i think youtube, particularly does. >> i don't think you want you don't want your 12 year old seeing porn. and yet isn't that what they do? yeah. youtube should be sorted out. porn? access to porn for 12 year olds. not the fact that they might be watching a video that shows them

10:09 am
companies thinking the government might just threaten them with jail. >> listen, there are some bosses of companies who deserve to be in jail. the grenfell inquiry teaches us yesterday that that is absolutely the case. >> and that's not going to happen any time soon. quite. >> well, the government claims that this water bill will give regulators more power to stop executives lining their own pockets. and as andrew said, we're going to be hearing from steve reid later and they're going to increase the fines for pollution. >> but does the fine increase then come out of the pocket of then come out of the pocket of the long suffering water customer, or does it come out of the pocket of the shareholders? >> i mean, don't call me psychic, but i can probably work that one out. we all can. gb news political correspondent katherine forsterjoins us now. katherine forster joins us now. good morning, catherine. against a very rainy looking river thames. so just bring us up to speed on the detail of this story . story. >> yes. good morning to both of you. well, as you say, and the pubuc you. well, as you say, and the public are very, very cross about the bad behaviour of water companies. this is one of the
10:10 am
most popular measures in the king's speech. the possible criminal liability for water bosses. so this water special measures bill that's going through parliament now . and through parliament now. and they're saying that water bosses who obstruct the regulator or the environment agency could potentially go to jail for two years. now, i have to say, i think that's very unlikely. i think that's very unlikely. i think more this is about sending a message to them that there could be serious consequences in the hope that they will then decide to behave properly , decide to behave properly, because at the moment, the worst thing that's going to happen is you get a fine and the bill is also going to ban bonuses for bosses of companies who've behaved badly, they're going to increase the automatic fine for pollution breaches. it's only £300 at the moment, which, let's face it , nothing to £300 at the moment, which, let's face it, nothing to some of these companies, and they're going to have to monitor all of the 7000 emergency storm
10:11 am
overflows where sewage is pumped out into rivers and the seas . out into rivers and the seas. those are just the emergency ones, not the regular ones. so will it make a difference? well, the liberal democrats, who, as you say, sort of own this, really, didn't they, during the general election , we saw ed general election, we saw ed davey falling off paddleboards all sorts of water activities. but, the lib dems are very serious about this now. they have said that this is a job half done and various charities have said similar. the conservatives, for their part, are saying, well, we've already done a lot and some of this is stuff that we're already doing and the government are taking credit for. steve reid will be speaking in the next hour or so . speaking in the next hour or so. and yes, let's see if anything changes. i think just worth reminding ourselves that these water companies, many of them are principally foreign owned. now, the shareholders in far flung parts of the world
10:12 am
couldn't give a hoot, frankly, about how much sewage is being pumped into the river thames or anywhere else around britain, >> catherine, very, very , very >> catherine, very, very, very grateful. so thanks for joining us, it's, i mean, it's a good area, but but also this idea. regulators say they've been obstructing us. how do they prove that? and the water bosses will say, i mean, is that isn't the real. i'm scared again. the criminal element should be wilfully polluting our waterways. >> yes, it should be. and i it just feels like, again, this, this accountability deficit. we said it before, but it seems in all of these big companies, these massive corporations or these massive corporations or these big utility companies that everybody is able to act with impunity, even against ofwat , impunity, even against ofwat, the regulator, i mean, useless. >> what have they done ? >> what have they done? >> what have they done? >> apparently nothing. and we're all getting higher bills and dirtier water. >> my fear is this will just be
10:13 am
higher bills, because if they increase the fines, they'll pass it on to the customer and i mean, i can't remember what my water thames water bill is at the moment. is it £400 a year? >> they're punchy. yeah. you know, i mean because also you pay know, i mean because also you pay for the water that you take and you also pay the extra for the water that your dirty water that goes away as well. you've been getting in touch at home about this actually, where is it? somebody here has said, i'm so sorry, the they should go to jail. they could go to jail, this person says. but will they? we're tired of the media lying to us about this. well, actually, we're not we're we're kind of being quite honest about the fact that we're pretty sceptical about whether anything would change in this regard. so, and on the tory leadership as well, if the tories choose kemi badenoch for their next leader, they will just get rishi sunak in a dress. she's too young and inexperienced. starmer must be praying that she wins. if she wins, the road to the conservatives being wiped out will be accelerated and reform
10:14 am
uk will fill the void. great. it's only 1762 days to the next general . general. >> oh, stop! i can't face another one. so soon. don't remind us. >> 1762 days. so we're counting down. >> well , they'll go. >> well, they'll go. >> well, they'll go. >> they never go for five years. >> they never go for five years. >> it'll be four years. what do you think about this? of course. yeah. tell us what you think. >> elizabeth says we are now a doomed country with stalin at the helm. anything that happens he does not like. off to prison you go. he's got this mentality because he does not know how to run this country. it's a very different ball game to being in court, which of course, he used to be. as i've said before, the labour party are the devil incarnate. the thing is, sometimes the communists do put away the right people, but i still think he's behaving like he's the leader of the opposition. >> again, banging on in the commons yesterday about the ticket agencies and the oasis tickets . what the hell is the tickets. what the hell is the british prime minister talking about that for? oh, there are big issues to sort out. and the fact that oasis fans may feel
10:15 am
they were ripped off. well, i'm sorry if they feel they were pred sorry if they feel they were ripped off. every ticket was sold out in hours. so the market did its job. yeah. >> so go away, do something important. stop meddling around with. >> if i was an oasis fan, i would have paid whatever to i had pay if i wanted to see them. >> absolutely, here we go. mike has said about the conservative leadership contest. apart from kemi badenoch, i wouldn't pay any of them in washers. that's the kind of thing my dad would say. yeah, more of the puppet policies coming. such a shame. no matter, it's still going to be the uni party. and michael says about harry and william, i think we've all had enough of winger harry. when will he realise? even if william apologised, the british people will never accept him back and he would get booed wherever he went. >> why would william apologise to harry, who trashed the king? camilla, harry's william's wife, in his book spare to make money and trash the entire family in that oprah winfrey interview for money. >> wasn't there a list of people
10:16 am
onune >> wasn't there a list of people online recently who are the people who hate meghan and harry the most? weren't you on it? >> i was number two. i think it was anybody higher than you. it's a rather good image. and it was in the house of commons and there was a group of people baiting meghan. i was at the front of it. i don't hate her. i just think she's appalling. you something her and it rhymes with bait . bait. >> we'd love to hear what you think. gbnews.com/yoursay. up next, though, we're going to be going through the other stories of the day with our panel. carole malone and jonathan lewis. can you guess the staggering amount of money that millennials spend on takeaway coffees every year? as the mother of teenagers, believe me, this is a conversation we have in our house a lot. you won't believe it. don't go anywhere. this is

gb news. >> cheeky. >> cheeky. >> very good morning. welcome
10:20 am
back to the show andrew and bev. of course. and we have. i think we're actually going to. we're going to, we're going to bring some breaking. we've got carol and jonathan in the studio, but we want to bring you a little bit more on that developing story. first of all, from germany. this is we're now heanng germany. this is we're now hearing that a person has died after being shot while exchanging fire with police in munich. that's from the interior minister for the german state of bavana minister for the german state of bavaria has confirmed that police opened fire on the person who appeared to be carrying a gun near the israeli consulate. >> the scene remains under lockdown as investigations continue. >> it is, of course, unfolding on the 52nd anniversary of the munich olympic massacre. some of you will remember that palestinian gunman on that occasion murdered 11 israeli athletes . athletes. >> so we're going to talk now to charlie peters. charlie gb news reporter. what's happening now , charlie? >> well, police have said that they've shot dead a suspicious person near the israeli consulate and also near a nazi era museum. now, they've also said that there's nobody else connected with this incident,
10:21 am
that they are assessing. but this morning at 9 am, local residents in the area heard that they had said that they heard gunshots and police sirens, and there were dozens of officers at there were dozens of officers at the scene. shouts of run! run could be heard , those local could be heard, those local residents said. and the deputy chairman of the munich security conference press conference, located right next to the museum where the shooting is said to have happened, reportedly told the munich documentation centre that the area had been cordoned off and staff were under lockdown, and he said that there was a loud bang at 9:10 am. this morning and at least a dozen shots were heard. those are the sounds of gunfire. the of gunfire. are the sounds of gunfire. you're hearing now, and that's you're hearing now, and that's some local footage taken by some local footage taken by someone from their home of the someone from their home of the original shooting by the police original shooting by the police in that incident, about a dozen shots reported from someone who in that incident, about a dozen shots reported from someone who witnessed the incident. in that witnessed the incident. in that clip we've just played. it's a clip we've just played. it's a similar level of gunfire. now similar level of gunfire. now
10:22 am
israel's foreign ministry said clip we've just played. it's a similar foreign gunfire. now clip we've just played. it's a the consulate in munich was similar foreign ministry now clip we've just played. it's a similar foreign ministry said israel's foreign ministry said the consulate in munich was closed when the shooting closed when the shooting occurred. no staff had been occurred. no staff had been affected by the incident. police affected by the incident. said that they have increased said that they have increased their presence in the city. this their presence in the city. this is germany's third biggest city, is germany's third biggest city, but they had no indication of incidents at any other locations other locations or of any other suspects. but at incidents at any other locations or of any other suspects. but at this moment, the latest update we have from the police is that eor,,,,grf,an\71 other suspects, but at is that the suspicious person has been we have from the police is that the suspicious person has been shot dead. no other person shot dead. no other person connected with the incident. but as you've mentioned on this, on this anniversary of the 52nd anniversary of the black september massacre at the olympics, where 11 israeli athletes were killed, but no understanding of any motive or any cause would have led to that shooting this morning in munich. >> okay. thank you. charlie charlie, we'll bring you any more from that situation in germany as we know it. but as i say, jonathan lewis is here. and also carole malone. good morning to you both. good morning. right. should we talk about the
10:23 am
even when it came to the reason for the cladding being put up, the suspicion persisted that it was for to preserve the appearance of the tower for people outside it, and actually the needs of the people inside it were not anywhere near. >> it's not the case though, jonathan. the cladding that was never said it was actually eco friendly cladding. it was put up because it was eco friendly. but but the bottom line with this is that, you know , even this that, you know, even this years, report, seven years, £170
10:24 am
report, seven years, £170 million. a million words, seven million. a million words, seven volumes of words. the finger has volumes of words. the finger has not squarely been pointed as yet not squarely been pointed as yet to the people responsible. to the people responsible. there's a whole bunch of people there's a whole bunch of people responsible. but but, sir martin responsible. but but, sir martin moore—bick, the guy in charge of moore—bick, the guy in charge of the inquiry, has not really come the inquiry, has not really come out and blamed anybody. what he out and blamed anybody. what he should have said was, you know , should have said was, you know , should have said was, you know, governments are ultimately should have said was, you know, governments are ultimately responsible for their own responsible for their own citizens and everything trickles citizens and everything trickles down from that. so if the down from that. so if the government had taken an interest government had taken an interest in these people in, you know , in these people in, you know , in these people in, you know, what was happening with these in these people in, you know, what was happening with these blocks, they wouldn't have died . blocks, they wouldn't have died. yes. you know, firemen told people to stay in the building. it was wrong. yes. building companies were were, you know, scamming money off to save money for themselves. lots of people made mistakes, but ultimately governments, successive governments, successive governments, labour and tory are at fault for this. but you know, what gets me is why does an inquiry as serious as this take seven years? this is a gravy train for all the for the greedy lawyers, for the people, for the officials on it. seven years. and all the while the reason
10:25 am
makes absolutely clear none of them sh0lit's1ave died. i makes absolutely clear none of them sh0lit's true.iied. i ten years, it's true. >> in your paper today, stephen glover, you know, makes the point that this report tells us nothing. we didn't know a few weeks after the fire. and what he said was if he'd had a decent investigative reporter on this, he could have solved this in 3 or 4 weeks. he could have got everything. and that is the truth of it. so why has it taken seven years that obviously there has to be a process followed and that you can't have you can't have criminal prosecutions place while the public taking place while the public
10:26 am
taking place while the public inquiry is not? inquiry is not? >> well, of course not. but >> well, of course not. but these things are charged these things are charged tomorrow. >> the problem is that you have tomorrow. >> the problem is that you have to have a balance, don't you? to have a balance, don't you? you have to wonder whether it you have to wonder whether it should be done incredibly should be done incredibly thoroughly and as comprehensively as possible. and thoroughly and as comprehensively as possible. and sometimes that can take a very sometimes that can take a very long time. every single public long time. every single public inquiry pretty much hillsborough inquiry pretty much hillsborough took, you know what, decades of took, you know what, decades of bloody bloody sunday. sunday bloody bloody sunday. sunday took 12 years, took 12 years. took 12 years, took 12 years. i'm not saying i'm not. no, i'm i'm not saying i'm not. no, i'm not saying that. but i'm not. not saying that. but i'm not. i'm not the i'm not the i think i'm not the i'm not the i think that the people who are , who are that the people who are , who are that the people who are, who are running these things aren't that the people who are, who are running these things aren't deliberately prolonging them . deliberately prolonging them . deliberately prolonging them. >> but sometimes you paid by the deliberately prolonging them. >> but sometimes you paid by the hour as a lawyer. hour as a lawyer. >> but sometimes you paid by the >> but sometimes you paid by the hour as a lawyer . exactly. hour as a lawyer. exactly. >> and as as the police ? yes. as hour as a lawyer . exactly. hour as a lawyer. exactly. >> and as as the >> and as as the police? yes. as for the police thing, i think that if you were to have a botched investigation or a two expedited expedition which results in prosecutions collapsing, then we would say, why didn't the police take the time to really nail this and get it right? so it has to be balance. >> 72 people died and the report makes absolutely clear none of them should have died. i

whether they live in areas like where grenfel hearts ;, whether they live in areas like where grenfel hearts with — whether they live in areas like where grenfelhearts with a? whether they live in areas like where grenfelhearts with a big forever in our hearts with a big heart. if i was one of the family members who had lost someone, i would almost feel that was that was trolling me every day, because i think, well, fine, forever in our hearts. what have you done about it? this looks like tokenism for me. that massive sign right there, i think that would wind me up if i was a family member who'd lost someone because it looks like, oh, the illusion that we're doing something. well, you're not doing enough. you're not doing it quick enough. so what should happen to this building now? >> i don't really think it's my place to comment on that. i place to comment on that. i think you're a commentator. think you're a commentator.
10:28 am
well, no, but but i but i mean, well, no, but but i but i mean, i can have an i can have an i can have an i can have an opinion, but i am not a relative opinion, but i am not a relative of anyone who died. i think of anyone who died. i think there should be some kind of there should be some kind of permanent memorial. i think permanent memorial. i think that, you know, you're damned if that, you know, you're damned if you do, damned if you don't. if you do, damned if you don't. if you do, damned if you don't. if you do, damned if you don't. if you keep the hoarding up, you you keep the hoarding up, you know, there's the point that you know, there's the point that you make if you were to sort of tear make if you were to sort of tear down the building altogether, down the building altogether, that would seem like you're that would seem like you're erasing the history and erasing the history and pretending it never happened. >> no, i think once, once the pretending it never happened. >> no, i think once, once the criminal investigation is done, criminal investigation is done, because obviously that is a because obviously that is a crime scene. once that is crime scene. once that is completed, then i have no completed, then i have no compunction in saying that it compunction in saying that it needs to come down and either needs to come down and either replacement housing, which we need. and i doubt that i was replacement housing, which we need. and i doubt that i was going to say or replace it with going to say or replace it with more social housing, because more social housing, because that's absolutely costing money to maintain it. that's absolutely costing money to maintain it. >> it's costing a fortune to >> it's costing a fortune to maintain. >> and that's the point, is that maintain. >> and that's the point, is that and i did read, i did read the and i did read, i did read the relatives are furious. it's so relatives are furious. it's so much money had been spent on it. much money had been spent on it. so obviously the most important so obviously the most important thing is if we're going to learn thing is if we're going to learn lessons, i suppose the biggest lessons, i suppose the biggest lessons, i suppose the biggest lesson we should learn is that lessons, i suppose the biggest lesson we should learn is that people need to be housed safely people need to be housed safely and appropriately. the biggest and appropriately. the biggest lesson to learn is to give that lesson to learn is to give that money to the families keeping money to the families keeping that building there. that building there. >> the biggest lesson we should >> the biggest lesson we should learn is that governments have learn is that governments have to take care of their citizens, to take care of their citizens, whether they live in areas like whether they live in areas like where grenfell is or where grenfell is or whether they live in posh chelsea. they have a duty to take care.
10:29 am
>> and also carol, can we just, you know, without being too political? the report did talk about deregulation and sort of the failures of the coalition government. and there was we know that there was a fixation dunng know that there was a fixation during the coalition years about cutting red tape, cutting regulation. and the point just needs to be made that sometimes regulation is there to save people's lives, to help people . people's lives, to help people. >> successive governments of every stripe are culpable for this mess. >> i was going to do we're going to do the price of coffee, but i almost want to leave that for the next because it's a good one. >> it's very good. >> it's very good. >> we do want you to keep watching for that, because it's carol and i have to get a latte how. >> now. >> will tell you what. how much she paid off. >> very

10:37 am
10:38 am
>> so, tennis on the brain as the brit jack draper makes his way into the semi—finals of the us open for the first time. he's the first to do so since andy murray in 2012. good. >> but it comes amid concerns that murray's legacy isn't being recognised in the way that it should . after plans for a tennis should. after plans for a tennis centre in his honour were scrapped due to planning issues and rising costs. >> well, let's talk to heather
10:39 am
dewar, a journalist who's written about this in the daily mail. heather, this was going to be in dunblane or the dunblane area where andy murray was brought up. he's dunblane's most famous son. it had been on the cards for a very long time, and his mother was a key figure in the plans, but she's dropped the whole scheme. was it because of local opposition , local opposition, >> well, i mean, certainly there was a lot of local opposition to it in terms of them being against facilities being built on green belt land. there was a great deal of campaigning on that particular issue. there was also concerns about traffic in the local area, particularly around the park of keir roundabout, which is a very busy roundabout. there was an element of luxury housing that was to be built alongside this tennis centre, although judy murray would stipulate, i'm sure, that that had nothing to do with her. it was in the original proposals , it was in the original proposals, and i have to say that the tennis centre, the community sports centre that she was proposing would have to be built before any housing had to be built. so, so yes, there was a
10:40 am
lot of local opposition on that front . who's to say, however, front. who's to say, however, that there will be no housing built on that particular block of land in the future? but it wasn't just about that. i mean , wasn't just about that. i mean, as bev, you just laid out there, it was down to planning delays. i mean, that went on for so long, so many years. judy murray put her heart and soul into this for around 11 or 12 years. good lord. the fact that discussions with governing bodies and of course, spiralling costs. so take into account covid and building materials and everything like that. so there's a mix of things here that at the end of the day, made her think it's just not viable. >> must be i was just looking because judy murray did send a tweet out about this, didn't she? heather expressing her frustration because it's so obvious that what judy murray wants and she's been this has been from day one of allowing her sons and supporting her sons to be athletes. she wants to passit to be athletes. she wants to pass it down to the next generation. more than anything.
10:41 am
10:42 am
said that he murray himself said that he would be looking forward to popping would be looking forward to popping into the this community centre himself. so you have that element. there was a museum, you get to see his trophies. so many things have gone into this mix. so it's not just about are we going to have another superstar of the future ? it's about of the future? it's about inspiring a new generation , not inspiring a new generation, not only of tennis players, but of youngsters who do not have that opportunity otherwise to get into sport. now, yes, we do have pubuc into sport. now, yes, we do have public tennis courts around the country. how many of them are lying in disarray? how many of them need refurbished? we live in scotland. there is a lot of rain in scotland. we need indoor tennis courts. now tennis scotland committed to ten new indoor facilities in 2019. they said that this would be done by 2025. d0 said that this would be done by 2025. do you know how many we've got? we've got two. two. that's it. now, i understand that there are proposals for another, centre to be built in dumfries. hopefully that will happen next yeah hopefully that will happen next year. but we're still sorely lacking the much mooted tennis
10:43 am
gb academy at stirling university. abject failure. we only saw three scots going into that contingent of three out of 13, so there are a few key things here, not just capitalising on the success of andy murray at that elite level, but bringing that whole community sport element into it, which is massively important. and when we hear about the government talking about child poverty, for example, well, surely within child poverty , surely within child poverty, what we're talking about is the inability to access facilities, health, wellbeing, obesity, all of these things buy into that. so why hasn't there been more support from government level and also from the lta and from tennis scotland? >> yeah. well heather, i agree with everything you said. >> heather. shame on them actually, because as you say, judy murray has put 10 or 12 years of her life into this project. shame on them that it's she's called it off. and is it? >> that's it. now then, heather, it's over. there's no more appeals process. there's no more money can be ploughed into it. you've just got to say goodbye to such an amazing, potentially
10:44 am
amazing facility. >> well, i think from judy's perspective, you know, why would she bother anymore with this? i mean, from from she there is a funding gap, basically of £5 million. the next round of planning would have cost her hundreds of thousands of pounds to go through. so that appetite in that area is pretty much gone. what judy does next, though, is open to discussion. i think she will be meeting with sportscotland soon. the first minister, john swinney, told me last week that he is open to discussions and i did say to him and i directly said this a judy murray inspired facility. he said he would be open to discussions on that. what that looks like . looks like. >> all right. thank you so much. journalist heather du bois there. i think judy murray is amazing. >> she is . and she's got two. >> she is. and she's got two. her other son is a great tennis player, two doubles player. >> well, sports centre mark buckland joins us now as well to discuss this. mark, you just heard that what we were talking about there, the country depends on. so sports facilities for so
10:45 am
much more than just gold medals. we depend on it for kids to not be violent and aggressive and bored on the streets. in fact, and fat. so not to put too fine and fat. so not to put too fine a point on it , and fat. so not to put too fine a point on it, where does this resistance to investment in these facilities come from, do you think? >> i guess it's all politics, isn't it? and the one thing i would say is that when judy murray gets involved in a campaign and as we've been hearing, this has lasted more than ten years, she's a winner. i imagine there'll be another chapter to this particular story. and it it is deflating. i won't pretend to be an expert on the inner political sanctions and everything else that's been going on in terms of why they haven't fulfilled their dreams, to build what, on the face of things sounds like a fantastic development. but yeah, i mean , i development. but yeah, i mean, i live in london. i will say that the lta has made a concerted effort in recent months to try and improve facilities, to make them as available as possible to youngsters. indeed, to anybody who wants to play tennis,
10:46 am
certainly in the london area. and i think that campaign has been expanded countrywide as well . but been expanded countrywide as well. but it's a no brainer. get people to get out and play as as much as they can. tennis is a really expensive sport to play, but it's one that you can learn so many things from and continue to enjoy until you're 80 or 90. so the more that is put into that, the better for everybody. >> and of course , we've seen >> and of course, we've seen marcus the evidence of that because we've got jack draper, only the fourth brit to get into the semi—finals of the us open. andy murray being the last one. can he go all the way ? can he go all the way? >> that's the big question , he >> that's the big question, he has done amazingly well already. we are getting shades of emma raducanu from 2021 when she came from nowhere to win the us open. that was extraordinary. she came through qualifying. she didn't drop a set. now draper is already a more established player. he hasn't dropped a set yet. you could argue that the draw has opened up for him. but every now and then the draw goes your way. you've still got to
10:47 am
take advantage of it. alex de minaur last night may have not been at 100%, but he beaten draper in their previous three encounters and jack was absolutely fantastic. and he said afterwards i can go up another level. he'll have to do that in the semi—finals because he's playing the world number one jannik sinner, who he has beaten before, albeit on grass at queen's 2 or 3 years ago. if he doesn't do it this year, i think he will sooner rather than later. he's destined to be in the top ten of that, there's no doubt, and i think he can get towards the top of the rankings and definitely win some slams. >> so we'll be watching. thank you. sports presenter marc buckland there now. still to come, youtube are planning on censoring fitness videos for kids. is that the right thing? what's behind their logic? this is
10:48 am

10:50 am
david starkey. andy burnham . david starkey. andy burnham. >> so youtube wants to ensure that younger viewers aren't pushed to see certain content.
10:51 am
but are they focusing on the right material? the planning to censor anything that idealised certain features over others, such as exercise routines and beauty tips? so we're joined now by mark ellis, who is an online safety expert. good morning mark. and what do you make of what youtube are trying to do here? is it well intentioned. but they're looking in the wrong place for the bad influences? >> well, this is something they did in the us about 12 months ago and a bit reticent to say how successful that's been . i how successful that's been. i think they're aiming at more the ideal plastic surgery style and overexercising rather than our, our much loved joe wicks. but i do think they are focusing on the wrong thing here. >> but this is about the algorithm, isn't it? it's just explain to people what it is that youtube are trying to do. because what happens now is that a child might or anyone, any of us will google something. and then the algorithm will just keep giving them more of that. >> and that's right. and you've put your finger right on the
10:52 am
main problem with social media in general, it just reinforces and pushes exactly what you've done before. so it's actually further down the rabbit hole which generates more advertising revenue. and you have to remember that the people writing these algorithms are the smartest people in software. they're some of the smartest and well paid people in software, because that in turn drives the advertising revenue. and it doesn't really matter whether you're a child or an adult, you're a child or an adult, you're still afflicted with the same algorithm. and, you know, and the other thing is, how do they know you're a child? you know, it's all down to the sign up and honesty at that point. >> well, i guess there is a there is a security measure on youtube that you can put if it's on your child's device, you can have youtube with certain online safety so that it is already a different level of content that you'll be fed. but presumably it's on that particular version of youtube that children are still being given these images in terms of you must have a skinny waist, maybe, or you must
10:53 am
be wrinkle free or whatever it is. and they obviously getting it. i think they're getting it wrong. surely we need kids to be fit. >> mark, we absolutely do need kids to be fit and sedentary with social media is not an ideal situation to be in. now you've got three children and you've got three children and you know i'm going to make an assumption here that you've taken the time to learn about this stuff. what you've got to remember is, is, according to a recent survey, two thirds of parents don't have any parental controls on their children's phones. they're actually frightened to take the phone off the child because of the reaction that comes from it. and, you know, i often liken this you wouldn't let your child cross the road without teaching them. so, you know, you learn and you teach and you educate your children. and the problem is, a lot of parents have absolved themselves of this responsibility. they give the gadget away. the child goes quiet, and then so goes goes through life. >> i've just realised, mark, i've got your book just tell everybody what your book is called. >> my book is called digital and it's the story of when i took my own four children off the
10:54 am
internet for one day a week and internet for one day a week and in the evenings as well . and i in the evenings as well. and i found a lot of disturbing challenges there. >> did you talks ? there it is. >> did you talks? there it is. right. any minute now we're going to be hearing from the environment minister, minister for a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> hi there, and welcome to the latest forecast for gb news from the met office. cloudy for many of us today . very wet in the of us today. very wet in the south and southwest . south and southwest. increasingly so very warm. meanwhile in the northwest we've got low pressure over the near continent and easterly airflow and weather fronts moving up and stalling across southern parts of the uk. so this blossoming area of rain across southern counties of england into south wales, increasingly heavy and persistent as we head into the afternoon for parts of hampshire, dorset , devon and hampshire, dorset, devon and cornwall. and that could cause some issues . cornwall. and that could cause some issues. so a rain warning in force. meanwhile, a lot of cloud across central and eastern parts, some drizzle and mist and

11:09 am
about the planets and we only have one planet, is it bothers me that we spend so much time talking about net zero and carbon and yet in the absence of any conversation about water and seas and oceans and rivers, because they are the lifeblood of this planet, and we don't look after them anywhere near enough, it's despicable that you can go onto a british beach in the summer and see raw sewage being pumped out, because some fat cat boss lining his own pockets because it's cheaper to pay pockets because it's cheaper to pay the fines than to dispose of the waste properly. now the government say they're going to in this speech today , steve reid in this speech today, steve reid says that the fines are going to be increased, but he's got to ensure that the fines don't come out of the pockets of people who pay out of the pockets of people who pay their bills. >> alan has got in touch from home. alan is a gb news member and he said we've now got 68 million plus people in this country producing all sorts of waste every day. is it really surprising that we've got sewage problems? >> and we've also got still a

11:11 am
for two years. >> it shouldn't be the judge. decide the sentences. >> no, not at all. somebody else had got in touch. i've just lost that message for now. apologies. but you made the really good point about the fact that we have so many people in this country now, so many more than we did before. but also we're about to start building more houses , and every house that is houses, and every house that is built requires more waste water pipes, etcetera. and whether that will work, you know, it's a huge amount it's a huge problem for this country, certainly is . for this country, certainly is. >> we can also be hoping to talk to fergal sharkey, of course, mate, the great environmental campaigner. he's going to be talking about the issue. yeah. and it shouldn't. >> the thing is it shouldn't take people like feargal sharkey to be making a noise about this. and he has done an amazing job. of course, he, he was, he is a musician and a pop star and he's made this a passion project of his to campaign for clean waters. and we also have the actor james waters. and we also have the actorjames murray, waters. and we also have the actor james murray, who's been on this show, a few times. he's also made it a passion project of his who would be fighting for our waters if it wasn't for these people, making it a
11:12 am
voluntary exercise to make a lot of noise and to hold politicians to account. >> keep doing it well. we can go out now live to steve reid, who is the environment secretary, who's about to speak and tell us exactly what the government is planning to do. >> this is steve, one of the country's best campaigners. without them doing a bit of campaigning, without them doing a bit of campaigning , always fantastic to campaigning, always fantastic to hear from you. i'm delighted you're here and so many other people as well. from the many, many sectors who have an interest. in water. and what happens to water. it's i mean, i think many of us were at the green alliance event last night, so it's a bit of a continuation of that as well. but it's important that we're all here together from the different sectors, because it is only by being together that i think we can find the answers that can finally resolve this very profound problem that we have with the state of our of our water in this country. with the state of our of our water in this country . now, if water in this country. now, if we were standing where we are now in the summer of 1858, we'd be overwhelmed by noxious fumes rising from the river thames out

discount at the time was about 44% off the market value of the house. so if a house was going back in 1984, 19 grand, you'd get it for ten, which is amazing. but what's happened down the years? but the tories and i know no one wants to hear anything good about the tories, but the tories. thatcher did replace the houses that she sold off. she built like 250,000, nowhere near as many. >> it was never. >> it was never. >> it was never. >> it was never like i have the figures 250,000 between 1885. so anyway, that was then. it slowed down after that. however now what's happening is and i never thought in a million years i might agree with angela rayner. i mean, i need to spit the words out here if i have to say i agree with her. what's happening now is big, swanky, award winning social housing estates are being built and before the paint is even dry, they're being sold off at half price , except sold off at half price, except council tenants. now, if we have a housing shortage, you literally if we have a housing shortage, my mic obviously isn't working. and if we have a housing shortage that can't keep happening, it just can't. and
11:22 am
you know, so i think we should suspend it for a bit and then and then bring it back at a later date. on they take every penny of the money from the sale of the house to be put into a building, another council house. exactly, exactly. >> and why can't they do that? >> and why can't they do that? >> i don't know, ijust >> and why can't they do that? >> i don't know, i just want to fix your mic a minute. >> for carol, me, there's this ideological point behind this, jonathan, which is that margaret thatcher sold off those council houses because she didn't really believe that the state should provide a roof over your head unless you really, really wanted it. i haven't seen the figures that carol has seen, but i know that carol has seen, but i know that over the decades we haven't replaced them. we haven't council housing, and we were looking at this yesterday, and there is a shocking number now of former council houses which are owned by private landlords. >> exactly. this is the point. this is the point. so i have i completely agree with you what in theory it is a great idea. yeah.i in theory it is a great idea. yeah. i think that everyone can get behind the idea of a property owning democracy and that people want to have an asset and that in the and obviously in the 80s when this
11:23 am
policy was first introduced, houses were affordable. you could you could work in your 30s, have a family of four and, and have a, have a sort of a bafic and have a, have a sort of a basic professional job and have a house with a garden and obviously that now that's out of reach for all but the very richest. so unless you have a lot of help from your parents, so that's a slightly separate issue. but you had this idea where council tenants were able to buy their own homes. and what happened was that those tenants became landlords themselves. so now people, instead of just paying now people, instead of just paying money to the council, a lot of them did. and instead of a lot of them, a lot of them did. so now you have people instead of paying money to the council, you have people in those areas. >> i did they did not become landlords. when you were a working class person in a mining village, you did not, not all of them. >> but now you have a lot of those voters that said, no, i'm not saying they did it. they bought their own houses to become landlords. i'm saying that those houses are now privately owned with other people renting them. how is that fair? >> we should also mention, of course, the hypocrisy of angela rayner here, even though i do vaguely agree with her. she made 48 grand from her right to buy
11:24 am
and now she's banning that for everyone. >> but you know what? that's. but in a way, i think it's a poor political argument to say that because you've benefited from something, you can't find it unfair because a lot of well, i'm sorry if you hate a policy so much, which she said she did . so much, which she said she did. >> it was only in the last few years, too. yes, exactly. >> if you hate a policy, don't cash in on that policy. don't buy the house. i mean, i mean, if something is available to you, it's human nature to take advantage of. >> it doesn't mean that you think it's right. and i think that if you are, then trying to make it fair for everybody, you know, there are a lot of people who went to private school, for example, who think that's unfair and campaign against it. there are a lot of descendants of immigrants who, you know, think that migration is a bad you're ideologically opposed to this policy. >> it is very odd that you would benefit from it yourself. why would you think about keir starmer, who's asked the question, would you use private medicine to help a loved one? absolutely not. he's ideologically opposed. she's supposedly ideologically opposed, but she cashed in on the policy. she's now trying to deny other people . deny other people. >> well, i mean, it's certainly a framing for it. and i, you know , i'm not here to speak for know, i'm not here to speak for angela rayner, but i do think the people can take opportunities. and it's the same
11:25 am
time try and make systems fairer. if you say that, that means you don't have any, you don't have morals, you don't have any kind of ideas. >> if you offered a £25,000 discount on something, would you say, no, i'm not going to take this for ideological reasons. i'm sorry. when someone if i had spoken out against something and then cashed in on it, yes, i would expect to be slated for it completely. on especially if i was a politician. >> ultimately, she's the housing secretary. she has to make decisions about housing for the entire country. i do agree with her on that. >> i really want to get to the coffee. let's get to, can't we? >> we couldn't even talk about the house of lords again. >> that's boring. actually, that is boring. >> it is a good story. >> it is a good story. >> a constitutional story. yeah. >> a constitutional story. yeah. >> just just in a nutshell, how do you feel about the house of lords getting rid of hereditary peers? >> get rid of them all. >> get rid of them all. >> okay. you're on board with that. >> get rid of all the peers. >> get rid of all the peers. >> get rid of all the peers. >> get rid of all the hereditary peers, and then have an elected house of lords. >> well, they are, aren't they? >> well, they are, aren't they? >> there's 92. the weird thing about the hereditary, they have elections by elections. >> so stupid andrew, to replace one so stupid. but you know what i think as well. >> i think if you want to reduce the house of lords, just get rid of the hereditary ones, because
11:26 am
it is a bit of a gravy train. i mean, they get, they get some like £180 for just clocking mean, they get, they get some like £180 forjust clocking in. like £180 for just clocking in. >> don't know. no, it's three over three. >> and if any of them are any good, if any of them are any good, if any of them are any good, they make them life peers. >> but but what prime ministers have to stop doing is giving them to their mates when they're outgoing. >> i mean, that'sjust outgoing. >> i mean, that's just but it is very unfair that you have, what, 285 tory peers and what, like 177 labour peers. you know, when you have a massive labour majority in the commons, that's not right. well, the house, the whole house of lords needs to change. >> he is going to flood the house of lords. >> yes he is, which he has a right to do if you have this system. otherwise, how can he complain about the tories doing the same then the tories. >> the tories have got 186 and labouh >> the tories have got 186 and labour, the tories have more peers. >> yes, because the tories were just in power. the tories were in power for a long time. >> that was their house of lords at more periods. it is already the second largest. i don't think it should happen. i think andrew, what should happen is thatis andrew, what should happen is that is have legislation to make it a fully elected in america. >> 100 senators have it fully elected and let people elect them. that's the fairest way. let's do coffee. >> right? coffee adults, adults aged 28 to 43 spend how much a year on coffee? carol, £728. >> unbelievable.
11:27 am
>> unbelievable. >> i find astonishing because the baby boomers. me right . we the baby boomers. me right. we only spend 200 and something and spend that. so? so let's let people don't know what millennials are. it's 28 to 43 people like me. it's like 50 to whatever . so we spend much less whatever. so we spend much less i think. and but the reason i spend less is not because i'm being tight. it's because every time i go to a coffee shop, i swear to god, i go, can i have a skinny latte extra hot in the go? do you want milk in that? and i go, well , i've go? do you want milk in that? and i go, well, i've just go? do you want milk in that? and i go, well , i've just told and i go, well, i've just told you, i want an extra. do you want it? why are they asking for milk? they're not listening to you. >> it's the decision making process that overwhelms me. coffee shops. now, jonathan, i won't make it extra hot. >> millennial. i am very much. >> millennial. i am very much. >> i'm very much. >> i'm very much. >> it's undrinkable. >> it's undrinkable. >> i'm very much a millennial. and i love my coffee. and i tell you what, it's one of the last luxuries i'll give up. there's a there's such a there's this is this is going to sound awful. right there is free coffee. i
11:28 am
hope you don't mind me. there is free coffee out in the in your green room, which is very nice , green room, which is very nice, because manager will confiscate. but but there is. but there is a very nice cafe in the building just above us. are you telling me that you buy it from the cafe upstairs rather than get the coffee? >> i really, really like it. >> i really, really like it. >> and how much did you pay for it? >> £3.50. >> £3.50. >> £3.23. yeah >> £3.23. yeah >> do you own your own house? >> do you own your own house? >> no, i'm not going to talk to you about that. >> do you have ambition? >> do you have ambition? >> okay. do you have ambitions to own your own house? >> well, we all, we all do. but that. but i really don't. it's the avocado, the avocado is absolutely nonsense. three, £3 a day. £3 a day is not going to make a house more affordable. >> we've just had he's just paid that for his coffee and we've just paid nearly £3 for it. what have we paid £3 for? >> oh, are you kidding me? >> oh, are you kidding me? >> we all have secrets now. exactly. >> so £6. >> so £6. >> there's. there's £6 and you're doing that every day. >> i think that is a serious point. i think that people are entitled to have luxuries. then don't expect to own a house. well, no, that's nonsense. how is this so much ? you're just
11:29 am
is this so much? you're just trolling me if you know you are. >> i'm winding you up a little bit. but there is. there is some truth in this because i see it in my kids. they just don't understand that you can't just waste money on. >> do you know how many avocado toast you have to save on to buy a house? do you know how many? i think not that many. i think it's a generational thing because years ago, if i. >> if i wanted something, i really had to save. when i wanted my first house and i was determined to have it, two thirds of my salary was spent on mortgage, and the rest there was nothing. i mean, there was no clothes, there was no fun. there was no makeup, no nothing. i had to just, you know, to i had just wait. and my parents generation was like that. but now your kids, they grow up with everything around them. coffee, £3.50. and they think, well, i'll just buy that. >> no, i think i'm going to teach you. >> jonathan, there's a phrase it's called cut your cloth accordingly. yes. that's what we'll have a little chat about that one day when i can patronise you a little. >> cut my cloth perfectly well, thank you. beth. >> he should just iron the cloth. >> and the coffee in the green room is apparently very nice. >> it is nice, but i just really wanted a flat white. i'm sorry. i'm exactly the stereotype that you hate. i'm sorry.
11:30 am
>> i'm only that it's a stupid . >> i'm only that it's a stupid. as if your viewers can hate me any more than they already do. what does it mean? you're going. >> it's an australian version of a latte where you have a little bit more coffee, a little bit less milk. it's a stupid. >> so you go in. >> so you go in. >> it's like an exam that's why i get stressed, because i ask for something, i don't get it. and then i'm made to feel like an idiot because i'm not asked for the right thing. >> you say, can i have a coffee, please? they say, what sort? just a cup of coffee. >> i say, well, we've got to go on. on. >> on. >> oh, three boomers have got to stop talking. and this champagne socialist has got to go. >> i'm not a champagne socialist. >> here you are with your headlines. >> very good morning to you . >> very good morning to you. while those four go and get their coffee, let's take a look at the top stories this hour. and we'll start with news from london. detectives in the capital are looking for the suspects involved in the murder of a top chef who was attacked at notting hill carnival, and they've now released images of 16 potential witnesses. museum nato , from dubai, was found nato, from dubai, was found unconscious with a head injury

next three hours with dawn neesom. so much to sink our teeth into. indeed. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> talking to the vampire, being up at night seamlessly. we have got giant flashing aliens starting off with the light stuff. okay, yeah, all all will be revealed. quite literally. >> giant flashing aliens. i know i'm intrigued. >> you didn't have giant flashing aliens, so you've got to stay tuned for that one. but we've also got i'm curious about what's going to happen on tuesday when thousands of prisoners are released early and just let out of prison. what's going to happen? >> and there's a loophole, isn't there, which could enable some of them to be violent offenders and sex offenders. yeah. >> and there's thousands of them standing on a platform near you on a train station going, where do i go? what do i do? >> 8000 years ago, when i did a politics degree, the first thing i learned was that the purpose of the state of any government is to keep order on the streets and to protect the national boundaries. we are failing summarily at both. >> that's not going well. we are also we've got some royal stuff. we're joining prince william live. what's he doing. well, you'll have to stay tuned. the point of this is to get you watching. >> will the royal brothers ever
11:42 am
bury the hatchet? because that is the key relationship within the royal family. >> i don't think they one another was the last bit of the sentence. >> i mean, i think that william is just incandescent with rage. that's his permanent position. now and i can't see any of that change. >> they couldn't even bring themselves to speak to each other at an important family funeral. that says a lot. i don't like that. and they should have spoke to each other, i think. >> so, i think i think that hatred is there now. i think bad blood and it's a tragedy not just for the boys, but for their father and this idea. >> now that harry wants an apology from william. >> over what brassneck over what? >> yeah, we've also got. we're going live to the jeremy kyle show inquiry, so that'll be interesting. >> jeremy, we're going to go live to the jeremy kyle show . live to the jeremy kyle show. has it been recommissioned? >> no, they're not they're not doing that story on us. just yet. pregnant teenagers and the world. >> it does beg a question, by the way , i'm not a teenager. the way, i'm not a teenager. >> i'm not pregnant. it'sjust it was a big curry last night. give it time. >> but it's a question about shows like jeremy kyle. do they exploit the public? they're
11:43 am
supposed to, aren't they? >> well, everything changed after that case. that was the contestant who took his own life. that's what the inquiry is, isn't it? everything changed after that. all of those reality shows started to take the psychological well—being of their contestants much more seriously. and that's probably no bad thing. >> i mean, i'd like to be on the jeremy kyle show after all, i married my sister, so i'd be a good candidate. what >> the things we've learnt about you, mark dolan. >> and if you want my mother, if you want to escape from that , you want to escape from that, we've got the world's worst and best airport or the uk's best and worst. >> that is fascinating, because everybody's got a view on that. >> yes, i love a good airport. >> yes, i love a good airport. >> it's all about the wh smith for me. >> i can't find a good i can't think of a good airport in this country. >> you like city airport? >> you like city airport? >> actually i do actually. >> actually i do actually. >> that is my favourite. >> that is my favourite. >> yeah, that's a private jet. >> yeah, that's a private jet. >> although no, no. and the last time i was at london city airport, british airways cancelled my flight. literally minutes before it was due to take off. >> i've outrageous from london city airport. >> it's small, intimate. >> it's small, intimate. >> no i haven't, i'm not that posh. >> no i haven't, i'm not that posh . but let me tell you, these posh. but let me tell you, these two obviously. good afternoon britain, presented by dawn neesom and mark dolan is like ryanair, cheap and cheerful. but we'll get you there .

11:45 am
11:46 am
11:47 am
>> you could hardly make this up. prince harry, apparently is refusing to return to royal dufies refusing to return to royal duties because there's such a clamour for him to come back. of course, unless he receives an apology from his brother. >> for what? so claims are that harry could assist with certain events, given the health of both the king and the princess of wales. but that would only be possible if prince william would
11:48 am
take the leap of making amends with him first. is he 12? >> will he behaves like it? it's just astonishing. let's talk to the behavioural psychologist and relationship coach , jo hemmings. relationship coach, jo hemmings. jo. i mean, i'd have to be clear here. i was a fan of harry. i think he's completely lost the plot. he's behaving like a spoilt child. says his wife . but spoilt child. says his wife. but this is extraordinary, isn't it? laying down demands when he's written the book, which has attacked prince william, attacked prince william, attacked prince william, attacked prince william's wife, attacked prince william's wife, attacked the king and the queen. and in fact, the whole flipping royal family shooting match. he should be apologising. >> but exactly, exactly what i was going to say. he should be the one apologising to william. i mean, i'm not quite sure what he wants william to apologise for, that's not made clear. look, they've had several chances to reconcile . they've chances to reconcile. they've had the queen's funeral. they've had the queen's funeral. they've had charles with cancer. and kate, they are growing further apart. from what i can see, there's no chance of reconciliation at all. and i do think harry has got a very
11:49 am
distorted perspective of what is going on. if he thinks his brother is going to apologise to him, i cannot even fathom what he's supposed to be apologising for. >> i mean, there was this story, wasn't there, about this incident in which they had an actual physical altercation that was in spain and i've been trying to sort of work out what it is that he might want an apology for. maybe it's his specifically that incident. maybe, you know, but underneath so much of what he talks about, jo is this sense with prince harry that he always feels inferior. i mean, the title of his book , spare, is because he his book, spare, is because he was known as the spare to the heir. that was prince william . heir. that was prince william. as a psychologist, can he ever really lance that particular emotional boil? just saying sorry from prince william isn't going to cut it, is it? >> no. and i think with prince harry, you're right about the spare thing. but, you know, there's been lots of people who have been spares. you can say prince andrew was spare and that
11:50 am
actually hasn't served him terribly well either. but he's made a he's made a role of it. he's created a dynamic from that role , which he is capitalising role, which he is capitalising on.and role, which he is capitalising on. and then he starts believing that he really is hard done by because he's in this junior role where he'll never be king. and i don't think he thinks in the real world anymore. i think he's so far removed from from actuality, from reality. now, at least in terms of the royal family that i nothing shocks me that he says anymore or asks for. but i do think none of it's going to happen at all. i mean, he's pursuing the british press. is that he's still going on with that. he's living his life in california. i'm sure he's very happy out there , not even quite happy out there, not even quite sure what he wants . and i don't sure what he wants. and i don't think he knows what he wants ehheh think he knows what he wants either. which is more to the
11:51 am
