9:02 pm
two hours of big opinion, big debate and big entertainment. we don't do boring. not on my watch. i just won't have it. i'll see you after the news headunes i'll see you after the news headlines with the very boring tatiana sanchez . tatiana sanchez. >> mark, thank you very much. and welcome back and good evening. the top stories. the prime minister says the nhs in england has been broken by successive conservative led governments. and he says the state it's now in is unforgivable. sir keir starmer told the bbc's laura kuenssberg that a review of the health service, to be published on thursday, finds changes to the nhs were hopelessly misconceived. he said austerity in the coalition years and then the conservative government's handung the conservative government's handling of the covid pandemic , handling of the covid pandemic, left the nhs in an awful position . this report is

position. this report is expected to reveal that more than 100,000 infants up to the age of two, were left waiting for more than six hours in accident and emergency departments in england last yean departments in england last year, and it's also likely to pinpoint falling vaccination rates and rises in adhd medication and an eating disorder related hospital admissions for children . well, admissions for children. well, sir keir starmer met with his irish counterpart today as part of a commitment to reset relations between the uk and ireland. they say coordination on security policy will be among the priorities of planned annual uk ireland summits. the prime minister and his irish premier, simon harris, agreed the terms of the leader level meetings as they held talks in dublin this afternoon. the annual summits will focus on several key areas including security, justice and global issues, climate, energy, technology and innovation, growth, trade and more. a joint statement said their meeting marked the start of an ambitious programme towards a renewed and
9:04 pm
strengthened partnership. the first meeting will be held in march about moving that reset on, cementing it and making it ambitious. >> we're clear that by march we want to have a summit to show the yield from this and then annual summits after that. we are also resetting our relationship with the eu, and i've made it very clear that i want a closer relationship with the eu. that's of course, on security, on defence, but also on trade, reducing the friction and any business here in ireland will tell you that reducing the friction helps. and so we want to reset that relationship. >> in other news, the met office has issued a yellow weather warning with heavy rain predicted in southern parts of the uk from this evening. the met office has said a new band of heavy and thundery rain will arrive on the south coast and will make its way north overnight. it says some places could see up to 100mm of rain and there was a risk of power cuts and cause to travel

disruption . and england have won disruption. and england have won their uefa nations league tie against ireland this evening. declan rice, with the opener of the game just 11 minutes in, and that was then doubled by jack grealish on the 26th minute. and this was the first test for england's interim manager, lee carsley, following gareth southgate stepping down after defeat in the euros final in the summer. well carsley didn't sing the national anthem ahead of the game . the 50 year old former game. the 50 year old former ireland midfielder had indicated in advance that he wouldn't join in, but he did say he's respectful of the concept and those are the latest gb news headlines. for now, i'm tatiana sanchez. now it's back to mark for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code , or go to gbnews.com the qr code, or go to gbnews.com forward slash alerts . forward slash alerts. >> thanks, tatiana. good
9:06 pm
evening. busy show tonight. the race for the tory leadership turns nasty. jeremy clarkson wages war on angela rayner. and it might take at ten another car crash at the bbc. but we start with my big opinion . good with my big opinion. good evening. if you thought that woke gareth southgate was bad with his dreary press conferences, his cautious football and his george at asda dress sense , then think again. dress sense, then think again. his interim replacement lee carsley. no, me neither . carsley. no, me neither. infuriated fans this afternoon by refusing to sing the national anthem at the england versus ireland game in dublin, causing no small amount of embarrassment to the players and fans alike. this great country's recent capacity for self—loathing has surely reached its nadir when the england manager no less, will not sing the traditional song of this country. carsley,
9:07 pm
who was born in birmingham but won 40 ireland caps, having qualified through a grandmother, returned to dublin today to coach england in the nations league campaign, a fruitless competition that has about as much meaning as an episode of love island. carsley has said that singing anthems is something that he has never done. he said the following. he said i was always really focused on the game and my first actions of the game. i was really proud of the game. i was really proud of the game. i was really proud of the fact that i found in that penod of the fact that i found in that period i was wary about my mind wandering off. i was really focused on the football and i've taken that into coaching. have youindeed? taken that into coaching. have you indeed? the football association seemed to limp, don't they? from one disaster to another. they wildly overspent on that. far from perfect national stadium at wembley. many consider the saint george's training ground an expensive white elephant parked in the middle of nowhere. the senior
9:08 pm
team haven't won anything since 1966, and although gareth southgate helped us progress well in more than one tournament, the football was abysmal. his pronouncements on fostering a better, more caring society were vomit worthy and the trophy cabinet remains empty. i'm absolutely mystified that there's now a campaign to give gareth southgate a knighthood. for what exactly? how can he possibly be compared to other figures who have been knighted, like sir paul mccartney , a man like sir paul mccartney, a man who has sold a billion records and whose band the beatles changed the world? gareth southgate isn't even fit to tune paul mccartney's guitar, let alone share his royal accolade. and now his replacement abstains from representing the country in song.in from representing the country in song. in my view, the football association has become a tedious , association has become a tedious,
9:09 pm
bureaucratic corporation, a cabal of bland pen pushers who are spaffing millions on preserving a football status quo of no victories, no excitement, and based upon today's debacle in dublin, no national pride. now mr carsley is a very accomplished man, a great player in his day and a highly talented manager who delivered for the under 21 seconds. i'm sure he's a nice guy and of course he's entitled to boycott the anthem, just as free speech is of critical importance. so the freedom to not speak or in this case not sing a song is also a sacred right. but what were the football association thinking? hiring a man who is unwilling to celebrate the country that he has the great privilege of representing? what message does it send to the fans? why should they cough up a fortune for expensive tickets and costly replica kits of their heroes? when the man at the top
9:10 pm
considers this to be just another game in the lower leagues? on a rainy tuesday night . and what an insult to our night. and what an insult to our impressive and dignified king. that's right, our monarch charles. what an insult that this tracksuited upstart can't bnng this tracksuited upstart can't bring himself to utter the words god save the king. god save us. quite frankly , football is a quite frankly, football is a very important part of this country and our lives here. football brings our rich and diverse nation together, and the national game is about national pride , something severely pride, something severely lacking from the current manager who surely merits an early bath. i don't care how many matches this guy wins or doesn't win, it's this guy wins or doesn't win, wsfime this guy wins or doesn't win, it's time to show this unpatriotic crank the red card . unpatriotic crank the red card. your reaction gb news com forward slash your say. but
9:11 pm
first tonight's top pundits. we have writer and broadcaster nina myskow, journalist linda jubilee and former national newspaper edhon and former national newspaper editor, the one and the only, mr neil wallace. great to see all three of you. thank you so much for joining us. a busy saturday evening. we've got a lot of material to get through , but material to get through, but nina myskow, what a slap in the face. that football match was this afternoon. >> i'm really relaxed about it, to be perfectly honest, the only football, i mean, the only football, i mean, the only football match i've ever watched was in black and white, and it was in black and white, and it was the 1966. well, you were right to stop at that point . right to stop at that point. >> i stopped it. nothing's happened since. >> i've missed nothing . >> i've missed nothing. >> i've missed nothing. >> by the way, you were about three at that point, and you thought i was being cradled in my mother's arms at that point. >> you know, i think it's, you know , and also because i was. know, and also because i was. i'm british, i was born in scotland, my mother was scottish and my father was polish. i was brought up in south africa. i've lived in scotland. i've lived in london. and people say what nationality you are. i say, i live in london, so i'm the least
9:12 pm
jingoistic sort of person. and i'm you know, i understand the national pride and singing, you know, god save the king and all of that . but if he doesn't want of that. but if he doesn't want to sing it, fine by me. >> if the fans don't want to sing it, that's fine. but the players and the manager are representing the nation. linda jubilee i think this is a sackable offence. >> i think he should be singing it. i've listened to everything today. early on in the morning, i listened to all the interviews where he explained that he has a routine. he had it as a player where he starts in the changing room. he goes into the tunnel, into talk to the hand cos the face ain't listening . who cares face ain't listening. who cares what his routine is? he does all of that. >> what a tired routine. >> what a tired routine. >> in the same way, though, that jonny wilkinson had his routine before he kicked a goal, or andy murray had his routine before he walked onto court. these routines are very, very important to athletes . having important to athletes. having said that, i've listened to other people saying, you know, it's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game. and in fact, it's how you play game. and in fact, it's how you play the game of life. and that's why he should be singing the national anthem. i can still
9:13 pm
remember as a young trainee on the western mail in cardiff, and i'm not welsh walking into the rugby ground and listening to the welsh national anthem, and it was the most brilliant feeling and i think he should be doing it. >> football is there. neil wallis to bring the nation together. that is something that the new england manager has depnved the new england manager has deprived us of today . deprived us of today. >> i don't think there's any way you can possibly justify someone with such a significant public position who knows full well the paraphernalia that comes with the public position like that is not singing the national anthem. it is part of the job the team do it because they want to demonstrate, illustrate that pride in their country. now, of course, this is more complicated by the fact that lee carsley, who, incidentally, wasn't that great a footballer, as you seem to think he was a run of the
9:14 pm
mill, player who played internationally for ireland with an irish background and of course, when you consider the inevitable history, the politics of the fact that they're playing in ireland with the irish, engush in ireland with the irish, english history, then it sends a signal and i'm afraid you can't get away from the fact that in his first game, his first big game against one of the old enemies, as it were of football, yeah, most definitely. he let his country down. >> he played for whom he played . >> he played for whom he played. yeah, exactly. exactly, exactly. >> so ? so that's the thing. >> so? so that's the thing. >> so? so that's the thing. >> but the thing is, he never presumably when he was playing for ireland , he never he didn't for ireland, he never he didn't sing the irish anthem either. sing the irish anthem and he didn't sing our anthem. so what's the problem? >> perhaps he can't work out his nationality. i mean, maybe the guy is not loyal. he manages england. he plays for ireland. what a start. >> he says he believes in the irish. he says he believes in
9:15 pm
the concept. but in this instance, there's no point in believing the concept. you have to walk the walk, not just talk the talk. >> most definitely. do you think briefly , linda, that it was briefly, linda, that it was naive or indeed foolish of the fa to appoint this guy as interim manager, knowing that he wouldn't sing the anthem? did they know beforehand, though? well, they have done their due diligence, neal. >> my guess is knowing bureaucracies, knowing particularly the fa, they will not have researched him fully and will not have known this . and will not have known this. and they found themselves with their trousers around their ankles yet again, and they should just say, no, sorry, all of that. >> but he will be judged on results. and the fact that england beat ireland tonight were weigh more heavily than the fact that he didn't sing the national anthem. >> there you go. well, should the new or interim england manager face some kind of punishment for his unwillingness to sing the national anthem, is he unpatriotic, or is it his right to abstain? let me know your thoughts, gbnews.com/yoursay. now coming
9:16 pm
up next, civil war erupts in the tory party as team kemi badenoch accused robert jenrick of dirty tricks. we'll get the unrivalled political insight of neil and christine hamilton
9:17 pm
9:18 pm
9:19 pm
next. i'll get to your messages in just a moment regarding our interim england manager, who refuses to sing the national anthem. you couldn't make it up, could you? but first, the big story . now, the times newspaper story. now, the times newspaper report that supporters of kemi badenoch fear that she's the victim of a dirty tricks campaign designed to push her out of the tory leadership race. badenoch's team are privately questioning the results of the first round of the contest, which saw her come out just one vote ahead of james cleverly. the shadow home secretary. the
9:20 pm
result led fears led to fears that badenoch, who had been the bookies favourite, might not make it into the final two of the contest due to behind the scenes plotting. the allegation is that those who want to see robert jenrick elected leader had lent their votes to cleverly to boost his numbers as a centrist rival to badenoch in order to push her out of the race. what a drama i the night of race. what a drama! the night of the long knives. well, let's get reaction and its two figures here who are no strangers to political drama themselves. britain's best known political double act, neil and christine hamilton. great to see you both. christine, is kemi badenoch being stitched up ? being stitched up? >> well, probably, but i mean, let's be honest , this whole let's be honest, this whole fiasco, it's like bald men fighting over a comb, isn't it? >> i mean, to be leader of the tory party right now is a bit of no , it's a bit of a of a death no, it's a bit of a of a death knell, but yeah , i'm sure she knell, but yeah, i'm sure she is, because every time she comes
9:21 pm
to. every time you ask the grass roots, she seems to come out on top. i'm not saying she would be the best person, but they like her. and we've seen all this before with liz truss, haven't we? because liz truss came out top, she became prime minister and immediately the mps erupted and immediately the mps erupted and said, oh, we can't have that. we don't want her. so the mps will get who they want. and it seems to me odd to say the least, that cleverly has six people who have come out publicly and said we support cleverly and 21 people voted for him. now you have to say that mps are the most deceitful. whatever you want to say. bunch of electors in the world. i mean, there is nobody more likely to dissemble and not tell you what they're actually doing. but yeah, i'm perfectly certain there is a stop kemi campaign. >> neil is the conservative party a party that you know well prone to such skulduggery? >> i don't believe that any politician could possibly be guilty of dirty tricks in an election campaign to you. and
9:22 pm
this seems to be so far from the reality that it's almost not worth contemplating. no, i think what the. this is spin, which is being put out by the badenoch campaign of course, because they were disappointed by the vote that they got . so they're now that they got. so they're now trying to have to explain it in a way which they think might, make things better for the next stage of the campaign. but the reality is that, as christine says, we've got all these people who are bald but fighting over a comb in a sense, because nobody's actually talking about what the conservative party needs to do in order to win a general election next time, and thatis general election next time, and that is to focus on why they lost the last one so catastrophically, and how they need, therefore, to reverse gear on a whole range of policies, none of which so far seems to have been debated. i'll say this for jenrick, whom previously i'd forjenrick, whom previously i'd never really regarded very highly because he was elected as a kind of centrist clone of the cameron elite in back in 2015,
9:23 pm
or whenever it was that he was elected an mp that, you know, he has at least been articulating a different set of policies now for quite some time , before the for quite some time, before the last general election was held . last general election was held. and he at least is raising some of these issues, and he has the balls to resign, didn't he? >> at one point he did. >> at one point he did. >> so, you know, i'm suspicious of him as i'm suspicious of all of him as i'm suspicious of all of them, actually , because i of them, actually, because i don't think that any of them has got the kind of credibility with the kind of voters that they need to win back for the conservatives let, let alone the people that they need to convince who've not been conservative voters in the past to make the changes that we need in this country after 2028 or 29, whenever the next general election takes place. >> now, christine . christine. go on. >> well, i was just going to say all of them, with the exception of tom tugendhat, and i'm not promoting him . it's of no promoting him. it's of no interest to me, actually, who ends up as leader. all of them
9:24 pm
except tom tugendhat. they are all collectively guilty because the last government they talked, right, and they governed left. so they are all responsible to a greater or lesser extent. i mean, james cleverly, what he was home secretary, he was foreign secretary and goodness knows what else. so they are all responsible for the parlous state in which the tory party has now sunk, frankly, and kemi badenoch voted for theresa may or may non withdrawal deal with the eu three times, whereas, you know, suella braverman voted against and she's not a candidate in the election. >> so in a way this election is very substandard because it doesn't really have the kind of debate which we need within the conservative party to turn it back to what i always thought a conservative party should be, which it hasn't been since margaret thatcher. >> and you're probably right. i mean, it's my view that of the available candidates, kemi
9:25 pm
badenoch has the most personality, the most charisma. she's got something about her, hasn't she ? she's an attack dog hasn't she? she's an attack dog politician. christine, you wrote a bestselling book called great british battleaxes, which of course featured margaret thatcher, among others. do you think kemi badenoch could be margaret thatcher? >> mark two well, i'm not sure i would go that far, but she's certainly a battle axe. she's very combative, combative, and it's been said that if kemi badenoch, badenoch was in a room on her own, she would create a fight , and i on her own, she would create a fight, and i think to be honest, i think probably if you're what matters in the next few years is, obviously policies, but it's also performance in the house of commons and its performance in particular at prime minister's question time. and i don't think starmer would actually know quite to how deal with kemi. he she's a woman . she's a woman of she's a woman. she's a woman of colour. and i think he would find that very difficult, whereas he would find it much
9:26 pm
easier to bat against, a male . easier to bat against, a male. >> okay. now this will change by the day. it's like a stock market. it's like the grand national. but, christine, who do you think wins in november ? you think wins in november? >> oh goodness me, i have no idea. but my guess is it won't be kemi badenoch because she's the one that the grassroots want. and she is the one that therefore the tory mps will make sure that she's not presented to them. >> neil, who gets the top prize, do you think? >> well, i think it'll probably be between jenrick and badenoch. >> but, you know, i'm not intimately involved with this . intimately involved with this. >> i'm glad to hear it. you're a married man, but, you know, there are a few dinosaurs left from my vintage. >> but most dinosaurs in your bedroom. >> okay , well, there are only >> okay, well, there are only 120 or so tory mps. >> anyway, today . so given that >> anyway, today. so given that the person who came out top in the person who came out top in the first round only got 20 odd votes, it doesn't really say
9:27 pm
much . the conservative party much. the conservative party does it? this is the problem that they've got. >> there you go. >> there you go. >> well that's, that's that's an interesting perspective from the hamiltons that really this is a wake , not a leadership election. wake, not a leadership election. neil and christine are thrilled to have you back. catch up very soon. the formidable, entertaining and charming hamiltons neil and christine, with their various glasses of wine, okay, folks , lots more to wine, okay, folks, lots more to get through, next up is jeremy clarkson. right, to slam angela rayner for partying in ibiza will be reacting to his bombshell remarks about deputy prime minister
9:28 pm
9:29 pm
9:30 pm
next. well, a big reaction to my big opinion. the interim england manager refuses to sing the national anthem. extraordinary. i think it's a disgrace. and so do you. daniel has messaged the show. he's a gb news member who says, mark, i'm afraid it's the usual fa mess up. it should have
9:31 pm
been made contractually clear that the role of anyone representing england needs to sign up to the patriotism necessary. if you aren't willing, then you don't get the job. simples. gary says. mark lee carsley is english by birth. he should sing the national anthem. and glynis, what a lovely name that is. glynis, you were messaging us from wales. i wonder? glynis, says mark's then attempted to sing the national anthem. fabio wouldn't as he said. you shouldn't sing another national anthem. well, then, you shouldn't take the job. lee carsley should be replaced with a permanent english candidate as manager asap. glynis couldn't agree with you more. keep those messages coming . messages coming. gbnews.com/yoursay now the start of amazon's grand tour. jeremy clarkson has lashed out at deputy prime minister angela rayner after she was pictured partying in ibiza. clarkson, writing in the sun, says the following many pointed out that
9:32 pm
at a time of great austerity, unless you're a train driver , unless you're a train driver, she should be at work and not throwing shapes on a spanish dance floor. plus, he says, if in a nightclub it means she's not in her office dreaming up some more socialism to foist upon us all, then i'll sign up for that. well, let's get reaction from nina myskow. linda jubilee and neil wallis . are jubilee and neil wallis. are these remarks from jeremy clarkson a little ungallant? neil >> no . >> 110. >> no. >> the one young woman in her prime enjoying a well—deserved break in the sunshine. >> well, it's a very interesting phrase in her prime. and >> well, well, what she is, she's she's deputy prime. yes, yes. >> actually, clarkson goes on to make the main point in this. i see absolutely no reason why any politician shouldn't take a holiday. i don't see why they should have fun while they're doing it. and frankly, i would prefer angela rayner to be spending 24 hours a day, seven
9:33 pm
days a week, 52 weeks of the yearin days a week, 52 weeks of the year in ibiza, throwing shapes around nightclubs. then at least she's then. at least she's not bothering me and the rest of us with loads of nonsense . yeah. with loads of nonsense. yeah. absolutely inclusive. send your money folks . money folks. >> i don't know, linda. i mean, this is the sort of debate here, isn't there, about politicians. they deserve to have a private life. >> yeah, we've heard it all about, keir starmer as well, haven't we? there's a big row about him preserving friday nights and his holiday. and then there was dominic raab's holiday when the cabal fell and all the rest of it. the point is there's two things here. there's timing. now, this happened as the winter fuel allowance was removed from old age pensioners. that means it's very, very tactless. and in communications terms, everything is about perception. and i honestly believe if you're deputy prime minister, you can go away and you can have a good time, but keep it low key. and if you want to show all these, you know, throw some shapes, do
9:34 pm
it behind closed doors at a private party, because perception is all in politics. and she should have reigned it in rayner should have reigned it in. there you go. >> good headline. i mean, what do you think? angela's on holiday. she's in ibiza. she's partying on the dance floor. is that an appropriate look for a deputy prime minister? >> absolutely. for. for so long. for centuries, we have been ruled by pale, stale males. you know, boring old bufton tufton. >> beg your pardon? >> beg your pardon? >> that's a little bit. >> that's a little bit. >> that's a bit harsh on neil and myself. neil is looking quite tanned today. >> yes, i've been in cornwall . >> yes, i've been in cornwall. >> yes, i've been in cornwall. >> he's been on the sauce, middle aged, buffed and toughened to go home. >> rosy cheeked, smoked cigars and ho ho ho and go to the shops. >> terrible sexism on your part, nina. >> and i completely agree with you. and it's fair enough , you. and it's fair enough, because we've taken an awful lot of it for many centuries now. angela represents this country more in a more realistic fashion. god help us than those.
9:35 pm
oh, really? there's nothing. no she. >> she was in a good mood when i came on margaret thatcher. >> we're done. for whom? i loathe, by the way, margaret thatcher would have been proud of her because she actually has brought herself up by her bootstraps. when she was 16, she was pregnant. she'd had a terrible childhood. and by dint of her own native wit, intelligence, whatever she has got herself to this situation where she which she really, deserves. >> but see, i don't disagree with any of that. >> yes, but but so she can go on holiday. it's not michael gove looking sweaty in a nightclub and embarrassing and actually , and embarrassing and actually, she actually. >> why is gove not allowed to go dancing? >> and angela rayner is michael gove cabinet ministers. >> i'm saying michael gove is allowed to go dancing, but the point being he just looked embarrassing. angela looks great. she looks really at ease. she can move very easily. she's not being outrageous. she's not being, she's she's not twerking. yeah, but at a time when the
9:36 pm
prime minister has just made his speech about reining in, pulling in our belts, linda , make your point. >> just at the time when keir starmer said, you know, we need to we need to tighten our belts, we're going to things are going to get worse. they're going to get worse and worse before they get worse and worse before they get better. we've removed the fuel allowance from the pensioners . we're saying that pensioners. we're saying that life is going to be really, really tough as i say, it's about perception. no one's saying she doesn't deserve a break. no one is saying she shouldn't go dancing . but think shouldn't go dancing. but think about how you are perceived , about how you are perceived, because that's what politics is. >> how did that how did that footage come to be in the public eye? it was not her personal pr putting it out there. >> you just got to be careful these days. no, please. public a pubuc these days. no, please. public a public environment that she was in. there was a crowd around her. >> if you want to go dancing, honestly, you have to go to a public. >> neil's not happy. >> neil's not happy. >> neil's. neil's kicking off. >> neil's. neil's kicking off. >> duke. don't be so mean. do. come on, nina , you're a big come on, nina, you're a big girl. you've been around the woman is a heroine. >> she's a heroine to many.

council houses and not replacing them. she that woman, angela. >> what she wanted from that she benefited by that one. >> and so margaret that's why i said, margaret thatcher, the world is full of citizen journalists. >> now, regardless, on top of what you've just said, neil, which is a very, very good point. the world is full of citizen journalists who are out with their phones, the whole nine yards. >> alison, his message , alison >> alison, his message, alison has messaged us gbnews.com/yoursay someone that was with her filmed her. >> it wasn't a random person , >> it wasn't a random person, david says. i wish all of the labour party would p off to ibiza and stay there. >> seconded . >> seconded. >> seconded. >> gayle. gayle has said welcome back mark clarkson should join reform. he's another straight talker like lee anderson. what about jeremy clarkson? are his comments sexist? do you think some of them are unfair and sexist? >> i think some of the ones about meghan , even though i'm no about meghan, even though i'm no great fan, were extremely unfair. was he wrong to her? and he was wrong. he was wrong to
9:39 pm
make his remarks about her, and he was technically wrong because we saw evidence of how much trolling and how much suffering she'd had in the weeks with raynen >> is raynen >>isthb raynen >> is this attack in today's sun justified by clarkson? >> i think it's, you know, i barrel scraping the barrel, scraping the barrel. >> the thing is with clarkson that he has gone from, you know, male hero and a figure of hate because clarkson is very marmite to this because of his his tv series about the farm. he's become also a national treasure. now the thing is he's he's an iconoclast, jeremy. and i don't think that sits easily . so iconoclast, jeremy. and i don't think that sits easily. so he's going to look for a target that's going to make headlines. >> if you were you've edited red top newspapers. if you were in charge and you were putting out today's paper, would you be comfortable with that article going to press, oh golly gosh, yes , yes, >> nina, you used to be a columnist . yes. your job as columnist. yes. yourjob as a columnist. yes. yourjob as a columnist is to find interesting things to write about. absolutely. one of the most interesting things that those photographs of her dancing, and
9:40 pm
the way she was behaving at the time, as mark rightly points out, the great debate in britain was about the fact that the labourer stealing pensioners, cold weather payments, it was an absolutely legitimate subject for any , any columnist. and, you for any, any columnist. and, you know, that's true because you, you, you used to be the point being, hang on, just finish your point, neil. yeah, the point is this woman doesn't care. don't forget, this is a woman who described all tories as scum. she's you know, this is not some wilting flower. she's the woman who, had a badge that said never kissed a tory. she knows exactly what she's. she knows. she knows exactly what she's doing. and whatever you do, you can feel sorry for a lot of people in life. never feel sorry for angela rayner. >> ruthenian. the last word. >> ruthenian. the last word. >> she is a woman. she is unique. she is that she is. she is entitled to do what she
9:41 pm
wants. and i can only applaud her. >> okay. >> okay. >> fascinating stuff. well, look, we'll return to that conversation with the papers at 1030, but next up, could lucy letby be the victim of an unprecedented miscarriage of justice? i'll be asking a former top itv psychologist whose shocking new book profiles the world's most infamous serial killers. who are they what makes them kill? we'll
9:42 pm
9:43 pm
9:44 pm
next. well, a big reaction to our debate this is angela rayner versus jeremy clarkson, who has attacked her in the sun today for her frolics in ibiza, lady westminster , who's a gb news westminster, who's a gb news member? good evening. mark and rayneris member? good evening. mark and rayner is a hypocrite in every sense of the word. and she's not working class. rayner has been an mp for nine years. she gets everything on expenses and she has a top job and is a high earner. she's patronising and a
9:45 pm
puppet of the leadership. don't let her way of speaking fool you. that's very harsh words there, and how about this regarding the civil war within the conservative party, kemi badenoch team accusing robert jenrick of dirty tricks, it's turned nasty. annette says marco wouldn't be at all surprised if kemi badenoch is being stitched up kemi badenoch is being stitched ”p by kemi badenoch is being stitched up by the tory mps. they want their to man win. they did the same thing to get rishi sunak elected . they are a rum bunch. elected. they are a rum bunch. the members will probably end up with someone they don't really want again, says annette. thank you for that, annette. okay folks, it's time now for this . folks, it's time now for this. oh welcome back. it's time now for mark meets, in which we speak to the biggest names in the world of entertainment, business and beyond . and business and beyond. and tonight, whether it's lucy letby, myra hindley or fred west, just what makes someone become a serial killer? and how
9:46 pm
can you spot whether such a person could be your next door neighbour? well, psychologist, true crime expert and star of itv's this morning, emma kenney thinks that she may have the answer in a bestselling new book, the serial killer. next door chilling true stories of the killers hidden among us, and it's out now . so emma, great to it's out now. so emma, great to have you on the show. what leads someone to become a serial killer? is it mental illness or are they just bad people ? are they just bad people? >> i mean, it's just such a massive question to answer. i will say that i genuinely believe nature plays a huge role. i know that people always want to think that the way that you're brought up,. is a big indicator of how you'll end up. and i think that when you look at the backgrounds of serial killers, the majority have trauma, certainly, but lots of people have trauma. so for me, i still come down to the belief that i think on a genetic
9:47 pm
predisposition level, people are born with a certain streak running through them, and then potentially through their experience on a nurture level, environmental level, they get activated . but i genuinely feel activated. but i genuinely feel you have to have that thread running through you to actually become the kind of human predator that we're talking about. >> and the book is fascinating because in the book you say that serial killers hide in plain sight. they're very good at slipping into society unnoticed. tell me more about that. >> i think when you look about serial killers, when you're talking more about the profoundly organised or at least those who operate in the more organised context. so when we think about the disorganised or the less organised offender, they're less able to disguise themselves because they're not thinking about playing out violent fantasies. they're acting in the moment. there's an impulsiveness about it. but for those who wear that mask of acceptability, it might be more intelligent than us. they're working with us. they're people. we share a bed with who seem to
9:48 pm
have intimate connections that work appropriately in relationships. they're bringing up families. they're basically part of the community. they're terrifying because the chameleon level of them is so enormous that they can operate with this dualism, this sense of being completely able to fit in. and yet on the alternate reality that they live able to commit the most deviant and sadistic of acts without shedding a tear, without feeling any empathy. and that's what makes them so powerfully dangerous. and i think that that's what makes us question everything , because question everything, because we're like, how can this person that i knew have done these horrible things? how can people who i went to church with or shared a bed with, how can they have done this? because we feel fooled, but we're not. we're not fooled, but we're not. we're not fooled because if you articulate a vocabulary of emotion where you can be all those things i've just said about being people who can cope in society, but ultimately also go and kill without conscience, it's really hard to see those people because
9:49 pm
they hide in plain sight. >> indeed, and they can often be very charming and very manipulative. can't they? which are some of the most chilling cases that you've written about in the book, emma? >> i mean, they're all chilling, aren't they? because it's just harrowing that these people have taken lives. but i suppose one of the ones that ultimately stays with me is david parker ray, who is the toy box killer now , fundamentally, one of the now, fundamentally, one of the reasons for that is because i've listened to all of the actual real tapes that he used to play to his victims. real tapes that he used to play to his victims . so i got them to his victims. so i got them from the new mexico place. and so that really resonates with me, because i listened to the tapes that the captors were actually, you know, the people who were at court by that captor endured, and they would be caught by him for maybe three months before being murdered. so the idea that you are taken and then you are sadistically treated for months and months and months until ultimately you meet your death , probably on one meet your death, probably on one level, feeling a level of relief and on the other level feeling that you've been betrayed because maybe you thought you'd escape just that mental anguish that women and men can be put through in these circumstances.
9:50 pm
and more and more, we're hearing about cases where this is not necessarily as unheard as we would have believed. you know , would have believed. you know, even when you think about people who aren't necessarily serial killers, the joseph fritzl's of this world and the people who are very much like that, that sadism, that just lurks in our society and just seems to be amplifying right now. >> you write about a very handsome serial killer called ted bundy. what did he get up to? >> well, i disagree with that. just because they cast zac efron as him in that film. that is not an appropriate casting. ted bundy was a literal four out of ten as far as i'm concerned. i guess a spectrum of serial killers in their looks . guess a spectrum of serial killers in their looks. he wasn't terribly handsome, but i think what you see with him again, it's the myth of the man. it's the myth of who this guy was. apparently he was charming. apparently he was charismatic. well, actually, no, there are lots of reports that say he was very socially awkward. and to some degree, he wasn't necessarily this effervescent human being that people have
9:51 pm
talked about. he had very odd connections as a child. he did go through trauma. but you think about a three year old toddler, ted bundy, being fixated with knives. his auntie woke up one morning. he'd gathered all the knives from around the house and put them around her body. so early on, we see this man, and then as a teenager, he's a voyeun then as a teenager, he's a voyeur. he's a sexually, you know , interested man in women know, interested man in women who are not actually in a state of duress. so he's looking at you through the windows. and this tells you that right from the get go, ted bundy had this streak within him that was just very sexually orientated in a malevolent way. >> and what did he what did he do? >> what were his crimes? ted bundy? >> well, i mean, he we think that he murdered around 36, but actually people believe that maybe there were over 100 victims. and he falls outside the perfect organised category because he would actually decapitate his victims and take their heads home with him . but their heads home with him. but he was effective at making bodies disappear for that point of time. and he was good with his m.o, you know, he acted vulnerable. he had a cast on his
9:52 pm
arm, or he had a crutch with him, and it made women feel that he was vulnerable. >> so he pretended to have a broken arm. >> right. so he was really good with that. so as soon as he got you over to his car because he'd asked you specifically to help him, he gave you a sense of social responsibility, and he was vulnerable. so you thought he couldn't harm you. he'd hit you then with a crowbar, lie down in the seat. he'd have removed the passenger side seat as well. so he had a perfect organised streak and he had his kill kit with him. this is the kind of way that these individuals operate. you have to remember, when it comes down to a serial killer who's organised in particular, at least on the organised spectrum, the victim is the final chapter. they're the final moment, but they've been building chapter and chapter and chapter of fantasy probably for years. you're the final moment. >> yeah, well, the clock's against us. i could talk to you all night. emma, i'm going to give details of the book in just a moment. lastly, lucy letby is in prison for the murder of seven infants and the attempted murder of seven others in 2015 and 2016. there were some commentators that believe her conviction is unsafe and that she may be a victim of a
9:53 pm
miscarriage of justice. do you have a view on this? >> yeah, my view has always been that i've been concerned about reasonable doubt where that is concerned. so when i think about the court system in the uk, i'm not looking at whether i think somebody is specifically innocent or guilty. i think is there reasonable doubt to question that they are guilty? if so , therefore we have to if so, therefore we have to accept that they can't be sentenced. i think what's really interesting about this case is there are a lot of experts coming out who are very, very well educated, very well researched and very, very experienced in this field, saying that they're questioning it now. my problem with that is that when these individuals are coming forward and we're seeing that actually maybe some of the evidence that people have seen isn't the evidence the jury potentially have heard at the time. i think that should operate some kind of review, whether it will happen because the ccrc, as much as they're meant to be there to do that, well, let's be honest, it's very hard once the wheels of justice have turned to turn them the other way around. but i question it. i'm not saying she isn't. i'm saying that with what i know, i have concerns, and i
9:54 pm
think there should be an investigation. >> emma, it's really good to see you again. you spoke a lot of sense during the pandemic. i had you on my radio show almost every day, and you kept my mental health in good shape. >> you mark, you mark had me on on cancelled when i was trying to cancel me. so i feel very grateful to you. >> well, you are definitely uncancelled. in fact, let me tell you, you've had a very successful tour of your serial killers show and the book is out now. it's winning rave reviews. the serial killer next door, chilling true stories of the killers , hidden among us by the killers, hidden among us by the brilliant emma kenney. get yourself a copy. a cracking read it might take a ten. another car crash at the bbc as a former top gear presenter slams the corporation for putting the lives of some of their biggest stars in danger, did freddie flintoff nearly die as a result of bbc incompetence? i'll be unpicking this scandal in my take at ten next. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather

10:02 pm
the nhs were hopelessly misconceived. he said austerity in the coalition years and then the conservative government's handung the conservative government's handling of the pandemic , left handling of the pandemic, left the nhs in an awful position. the report is expected to reveal that more than 100,000 infants up to the age of two, were left waiting for more than six hours in a&e departments in england last year, and it's also likely to pinpoint falling vaccination rates and rises in adhd medication . in other news, sir medication. in other news, sir keir starmer met with his irish counterpart today as part of a commitment to reset relations between the uk and ireland. they say coordination on security policy will be among the priorities of planned annual uk ireland summits. the prime minister and irish premier, simon harris, agreed to the terms of the leader level meetings as they held talks in dubun meetings as they held talks in dublin this afternoon. the annual summits will focus on several key areas including security, justice and global
10:03 pm
issues, climate growth, trade and more. a joint statement said their meeting marked the start of an ambitious programme towards a renewed and strengthened partnership, and the first meeting will be held in march. >> today is about moving that reset on, cementing it and making it ambitious. we're clear that by march we want to have a summit to show the yield from this and then annual summits after that. we are also resetting our relationship with the eu, and i've made it very clear that i want a closer relationship with the eu. that's, of course, on security, on defence, but also on trade, reducing the friction and any business here in ireland will tell you that reducing the friction helps. and so we want to reset that relationship . to reset that relationship. >> meanwhile, the snp has called on the prime minister to u—turn on the prime minister to u—turn on plans to cut winter fuel payments. research has shown that close to a million pensioners in scotland received the payments between 2000 and 22 and last year , but under new

10:06 pm
insider. big news on princess kate in a few minutes time. but first, my take at ten. oh dear. another car crash at the bbc. cricket legend freddie flintoff suffered life changing injuries in a dangerous stunt on top gear in a dangerous stunt on top gear in 2022, and i can reveal tonight it did not need to happen as a handsomely funded broadcasting organisation with an annual income of over £5 billion, you would expect, wouldn't you, the bbc to be faultless in the way that it makes its programmes in the absence of any commercial pressures and with no adverts , pressures and with no adverts, which gives them a huge advantage over the likes of us here @gbnews, the bbc should be the gold standard for television production and safety. however, former top gear star chris harris, who replaced jeremy clarkson after yet another bbc
10:07 pm
scandal, has sensationally told the joe rogan podcast that he raised serious safety concerns with bbc bosses. months before flintoff's near fatal crash . he flintoff's near fatal crash. he told them that somebody could be killed, but his concerns look to have been ignored. take listen. >> there was a big inquiry. a lot of soul searching. the bbc is good at that . but what was is good at that. but what was never spoken about was that three months before the accident, i'd gone to the bbc and said , unless you change and said, unless you change something, someone's going to die on this show. so i went to them. i went to the bbc and i told them of my concerns from what i'd seen as someone as the most experienced driver on the show by a mile , i said, if we show by a mile, i said, if we carry on at the very least we're going to have a serious injury. at the very worst, we're going to have a fatality. >> someone's going to die . >> someone's going to die. senous >> someone's going to die. serious injury. this was before the flintoff crash that could
10:08 pm
have killed him. harris also said that he asked to have a meeting with the head of health and safety at the bbc. take listen. >> and what what's what's really killed me is that no one's ever really acknowledged the fact that i called it beforehand , and that i called it beforehand, and i it's very difficult to live with that initially. for me, when i knew i thought i'd done the right thing. i'm not very good at that. i normally just go with the flow . but i saw this with the flow. but i saw this coming. i thought i did the right thing. i went to the bbc and i found out really that no one had taken me very seriously . one had taken me very seriously. >> damning. now it's worth remembering that freddie flintoff may be an accomplished cricketer, but he's not a professional racing driver. this ashes winner was placed in extraordinary danger in a three wheeled morgan car with no crash helmets during the ill fated stunt . this helmets during the ill fated stunt. this national hero's open top vehicle flew into the air and landed upside down, leading to shocking facial and head
10:09 pm
injuries which put flintoff out of action for over a year and which have left him with life changing psychological and physical issues. freddie has been so dignified about what happened. i've worked with freddie flintoff. he is an absolute gentleman and following this devastating accident, quite typically an in character, he made no fuss . but don't be made no fuss. but don't be fooled. to give you a sense of how bad the accident was, it's been reported that the bbc paid flintoff compensation of £9 million, and guess who's paying that bill? you and me. obviously now , chris harris isn't the only now, chris harris isn't the only one who has flagged up the dangers that these bbc stars have faced . here's what another have faced. here's what another former top gear presenter, rory reid, said to times radio earlier today based on my experience, if you ask me whether putting, someone without that level of driving experience
10:10 pm
in, in, in those situations and whether it would end well , i whether it would end well, i know i don't . wow. now this is know i don't. wow. now this is the bbc we're talking about, not some daredevil on tiktok chasing clicks with dangerous stunts. this is our national state broadcaster with an almost unlimited budget. on this occasion , arguably imperilling occasion, arguably imperilling the life of a national sporting hero, freddie flintoff could have died. is it just me or does the bbc behave like it's immune from the normal rules that the rest of us face in the workplace? look at the chaos on strictly come dancing with celebrities complaining of post—traumatic stress disorder, physical injury and being reduced to tears following their experience on the corporation's biggest entertainment show. today's papers are full of shocking allegations about match of the day starjermaine shocking allegations about match of the day star jermaine jenas, who reportedly sent a flurry of
10:11 pm
inappropriate messages to a female colleague. and then, of course, there was the unmasking of one of the bbc's biggest stars, the face of its news operation, huw edwards, who was allegedly paying thousands of pounds to vulnerable youngsters, sending creepy messages to co—workers and who was convicted of procuring the very worst category of child abuse images. meanwhile, gary lineker, on £1.3 million a year to introduce football clips , calls october football clips, calls october the 7th, in which over a thousand innocent jews were murdered at a music festival. the hamas thing. murdered at a music festival. the hamas thing . now i want the the hamas thing. now i want the bbc to survive and thrive. it's a great global brand and a huge asset, but whether it's the behaviour of its stars, the eye—watering waste or the chaotic and dangerous management of its tv productions, the bbc is increasingly not fit for purpose. our national state
10:12 pm
broadcaster is becoming a national embarrassment . your national embarrassment. your thoughts ? gbnews.com/yoursay is thoughts? gbnews.com/yoursay is the bbc still fit for purpose? it's one scandal after another. let's get to the views now of my top pundits, writer and broadcaster nina myskow, journalist linda jubilee and former newspaper editor neil wallis. linda, your reaction to these new revelations about top gear? >> i think they're really, really worrying. chris harris wasn't just warning three months ago or several months earlier when the incident actually took place, that there were going to be problems, he specifically warned about this particular car, the morgans , an iconic car, the morgans, an iconic british car, but it is hand—built. it is quite fragile. and this was a three wheel car, unstable. and it needed an expert to drive it. and chris harris did warn people that that was the case. but the bbc paid no attention. and i think this is kind of tied in with the
10:13 pm
strictly come dancing scenario, where you've got people these professional dancers are effectively elite athletes , and effectively elite athletes, and they are used to performing and behaving in a certain way, and they're then connected with people from the entertainment industry who are very, very capable with a completely different set of skills and a lot less resilience, resilient in some ways with huw edwards, i know for a fact that people knew, they knew a little bit about what was going on a long time before it ever hit the pubuc time before it ever hit the public arena with the latest one. jermaine jenas i don't know what the bbc could have done about that. i mean, that's his whatsapp messages, which i often say when i'm doing any kind of communications training . putting communications training. putting stuff onto whatsapp is not safe. you think it is because it's end to end encrypted, but it's not. you can lose your phone. your phone can get stolen, your phone can be hacked. the girl or the man you send the whatsapp messages to can disclose them. and it's a really big problem.
10:14 pm
he was incredibly stupid. i don't particularly think the bbc is at fault there, but i think in earlier instances i think it should have been far more responsible. >> well, neil, another developing story tonight just breaking and this is in the sunday telegraph, bbc breached guidelines 1500 times over the israel—hamas war. the story goes as follows. the bbc breached its own editorial guidelines. more than 1500 times during the height of the israel—hamas war. the report revealed a deeply worrying pattern of bias against israel. the former director of programmes at the bbc, danny cohen, has also written in the telegraph, neil, describing the beeb as institutionally anti—semitic. our national state broadcaster has got problems, hasn't it ? hasn't it? >> it's got very considerable problems and it's interesting. this story breaks tonight in the telegraph. i'm sure we'll be reviewing it later, but yeah, what you are seeing here is that
10:15 pm
these failures of management, immense failures of management, because that's what they really boil down to failure of control isn't just confined to showbiz, if you like. it isn't just about entertainment. it goes into very worryingly, the news division as well. and i've read that story already and i can tell you there's some seriously disturbing claims in the analysis that was done over a series of months, about the bbc coverage and for instance, how often the bbc refers or how little they referred to hamas violence as terrorism, how little, how much emphasis they were putting on israeli military action and reporting the hamas
10:16 pm
description and reporting of those cases. it's a really, really shocking piece of journalism. meanwhile, piece of journalism. meanwhile, piece of journalism it is. >> you're absolutely right, neil. obviously it's a big, big concern about this, this latest revelation in the sunday telegraph, nina, that the bbc breached guidelines 1500 times over the israel—hamas war. we know that they had to be browbeaten into calling hamas an actual recognised terror organisation. but can we go back to the main story within the take at ten, which is two former presenters of top gear warning the bbc that the show was dangerous before the freddie flintoff crash, a national sporting hero could have died because of bbc incompetence. >> well, that that is absolutely shocking. the trouble is that, you know , some not so long ago you know, some not so long ago since the bbc were an institution that we could be proud of, and along with that pride went a kind of arrogance
10:17 pm
for those people working within the bbc. it was always, you know, the bbc knew best and they did have they had standards of excellence. i remember in the days when they had a fantastic wardrobe department, a fantastic makeup department, you know, you could go there and be trained in, in almost every aspect that would deal with, television, media and entertainment. and you and you would be the best trained that. well, that was all kind of put to one side. but that arrogance in a way, still remains in some areas. and added to which the bbc has been under for fire such a long time, from the media, from various governments, you know, whichever side feels that the bbc are not doing what they'd like them to do. and, and, and budget budget cutting, which has meant that they've had to scrape around and but that doesn't excuse them. i mean, the standards should remain health and safety should should come first. the safety of
10:18 pm
the workers should should be there and something needs to happen on that. >> we can be agreed. well, a bbc spokesperson has said the following. while bbc studios had complied with the required bbc policies and industry best practice in making the show, there were important learnings which would need to be rigorously applied to future top gear uk productions . okay folks, gear uk productions. okay folks, coming up, a massive development in the world of the royals. this is the royal editor of the sunday times, roya nikkhah. she's got an exclusive and it's about princess catherine. after months of cancer treatment, the princess of wales is now planning for the future. that's right, she is set to rejoin the royal family in public at cenotaph and host christmas carols. kate's back will get more on
10:19 pm
10:20 pm
10:21 pm
next. tomorrow's papers on the way.
10:22 pm
now, normally at this time on a saturday, we'd be joined by the queen of us showbiz, royal and political reporting kinsey schofield. unfortunately, we're having some trouble with the line. but i do have some great royal news and this is courtesy of the royal editor of the sunday times newspaper, roya nikkhah, who writes in tomorrow's paper an exclusive . tomorrow's paper an exclusive. after months of cancer treatment, the princess of wales, princess kate, is now planning for the future. the journalist goes on to say kate hopes to join the royal family at the cenotaph and host her christmas carols. work is on her mind , but any return will be mind, but any return will be gradual. more on that in just a moment. but let's get instant reaction from my pundits, including linda jubilee, who of course covered the royal beat for a few years. >> a long time ago , but i still >> a long time ago, but i still pay >> a long time ago, but i still pay very close attention to it. >> i think that she's had a long time off. that's an unexpectedly long time . no
10:23 pm
time off. that's an unexpectedly longtime. no one's time off. that's an unexpectedly long time . no one's ever really long time. no one's ever really confirmed what type of cancer she has. but some people have mentioned to me that it is bowel cancen mentioned to me that it is bowel cancer. so she probably had to have surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. >> and of course we don't know. we can't substantiate that. it was bowel cancer. but we do know that she had an issue , an that she had an issue, an abdominal issue that was official information released by by the palace. so, you know, you could conclude it could be related. bottom line is she was seriously ill, as you mentioned, she's been out of action since before christmas of last year. >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> so it's been a really serious situation. we were told that she wouldn't do any public engagements until easter. it's now september, but is this the good news? we've been waiting for ? linda? for? linda? >> yeah, i think it is. i mean, people you saw at centre court, you know, remember in wimbledon when she she walked onto the court, she got a standing ovation. people are incredibly behind her. they regard her as the antithesis, if you like, of meghan, someone who actually knows how to behave, who knows
10:24 pm
how to carry the royal standard for forward, you know, and she is very, very popular. but you can see from some of the pictures and the very brief times we've seen her, she does look incredibly tired still. >> yeah, most most definitely. i mean , nina, she she obviously mean, nina, she she obviously did that very moving video in which she revealed her cancer diagnosis. we don't know the nature of the cancer, but does this tell us that she's on the mend? can we be hopeful for the future now? well, the cenotaph is november i think, isn't it? >> and so that'll have been a yean >> and so that'll have been a year, which is, which is very, very long time in anyone's, in anyone's cancer treatment , you anyone's cancer treatment, you know, it is good news. the thing is she, we have had for the last 4 or 5 years, kate, in the press every single day. yeah. the daily mail, the telegraph, whoever. hello. magazine every single day there's been, you know, and then suddenly nothing. so there is a huge gap there. there's a huge gap. and so people obviously have missed that.
10:25 pm
people obviously have missed that . and so she'll be welcomed that. and so she'll be welcomed back. that. and so she'll be welcomed back . but it is it's that. and so she'll be welcomed back. but it is it's not that. and so she'll be welcomed back . but it is it's not a that. and so she'll be welcomed back. but it is it's not a happy situation for anybody is it. no, no. 110. >> no. >> what's your reading of this story? i mean we're trying to desperately interpret these few lines from the sunday times. roya nick read, their royal edhon roya nick read, their royal editor. but what what's your interpretation of this story, neil? >> i think that you have to, consider how the press works and how the press works on on a story of this sensitivity. i don't believe, for one second roy nick gibb would be running this. i don't believe that the editor of the sunday times would be running this unless they were absolutely sure it was copper bottomed. yeah. so i think we can take a lot of relief from that. >> might this story have come from the palace? >> oh, i think it probably has. >> oh, i think it probably has. >> yeah. it could come from anywhere else. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and therefore from the princess of wales. >> well, i in a sort of
10:26 pm
roundabout way, i guess. but the truth of it is they would not have run with this unless they'd got an absolutely gold standard nod and that's got to be from either the wills and kate household or from the palace itself. you simply would not risk a story like this if tomorrow morning the royals came out and said , this is a disgrace out and said, this is a disgrace and an intrusion into privacy , and an intrusion into privacy, and an intrusion into privacy, and we cannot confirm that, we don't know whether that would kill a career, would kill a career. we don't. you'd sack an editor for that. >> would you sack an editor? right. so could end a career, we don't know the details of catherine's health or whether she's made a recovery, but we have those precious few words that we've been waiting a long time for, which is the future. and that's what's critical now, isn't it? that she's able to make plans for the future ? make plans for the future? >> yeah. and i think that, she bnngs >> yeah. and i think that, she brings such a positivity to british public life. so nina is
10:27 pm
absolutely right when she talks about how she was on our front pages day in, day out, week in, week out, and usually she just brought with it a sense of sunshine, didn't she? whatever. however serious the subject was, she brought a gaiety , a joie de she brought a gaiety, a joie de vivre. and you know, she really uplifted our lives. and she also brought with her the children. and that, of course, is the greatest part of this story that, you know, for her children, the idea that mummy is going to be fine is a huge thing. >> this is a huge thing. and the wise words of a former national newspaper editor with us in the studio, neil wallis. we've also got nina myskow and linda jubilee. in fact, the calibre of journalism tonight is unparalleled. and that's good news because we've got this developing story. if you're just joining us, the sunday times, tomorrow's sunday times runs an exclusive in regards to the princess of wales, talking about the fact that she's ready to think about work again and ready to get going and make plans for

10:33 pm
as my brilliant colleague. tonight my top pundit, neil wallace, former newspaper edhon wallace, former newspaper editor, has pointed out, those front pages are about to change in the minutes and hours ahead because we have a developing story. yes this is breaking news, and it comes courtesy of the royal editor of the sunday times. let me give you the story. this is a royal who's got an exclusive and it's good news after months of cancer treatment, the princess of wales is now planning for the future. she goes on to say kate hopes to join the royal family at the cenotaph in the autumn and host her christmas carols. work is now on her mind, but any return will be gradual. a massive story this and nina myskow. it's going to get the country talking. it's going to be all over the papers tomorrow when they get their second editions up and running. why is the country so attached to this young woman? >> because she is the perfect
10:34 pm
princess. she has, you know, she was kind of, perfect for the role when she, when she and, and will's married. it was a it was a really big deal. and suddenly there was this gorgeous princess. she and she she's classic english rose. and she's never put a foot wrong. not once. she's disciplined. she's not misspoken. she's not, had a tantrum that we've seen. she's not. she's not done anything. you know . so she's. and she's you know. so she's. and she's the only thing she's we've ever heard her saying are very positive things about charity , positive things about charity, work, mental health. and she's been very encouraging. so she's become the figurehead that the royal family needed. and without her, there's an enormous gap. >> she's the most valuable member of the war was when she was in the public eye. when we hope that she will return full time . but she was the most
10:35 pm
time. but she was the most valuable member of the royal firm in many respects. really. >> would you put her ahead of charles and william? >> i'd put her ahead of william . >> i'd put her ahead of william. yeah, right. >> sure. she certainly. >> sure. she certainly. >> she's box office, isn't she? yeah absolutely. >> yeah. and that's because she she's got this combination of glamour and dignity and intelligence, which resonates with the public. they both respect and admire her and they want her to be better. they want her to get back centre stage. >> if you're just joining us. tomorrow's sunday times newspaper has an exclusive princess kate is now planning for the future, following her cancer diagnosis and treatment , cancer diagnosis and treatment, and catherine's got a good relationship with the british press, hasn't she, neil? >> well , i press, hasn't she, neil? >> well, i don't press, hasn't she, neil? >> well , i don't know whether >> well, i don't know whether that's really the way to categorise it. your relationship with the british media is , how with the british media is, how they perceive you . and a basic they perceive you. and a basic truth about this is if you're in
10:36 pm
the royal family your behaviour will come out. so they tried for many years to manipulate and stop stories coming out about princess diana , about charles, princess diana, about charles, about camilla, about you. look at every one of the royals and the stories will come out about their real behaviour, like meghan, you know the story. the british press loved meghan and harry. people forget that . and harry. people forget that. and then the stories started to come out about her, how she behaves behind closed doors, as it were, with her staff. i've never heard the slightest suggestion about anything untoward to do with kate, and if the story if the sorry. >> one moment, nina , i would say >> one moment, nina, i would say to you that if it was there, it would come out. >> yeah. and it's astonishing
10:37 pm
how she has maintained this perfect relationship with the british. well, that's right, because , nina, these royals are because, nina, these royals are surrounded by courtiers, by staff butlers, you name it. >> security. if they were behaving badly, it would come out, wouldn't it? >> well , i'm out, wouldn't it? >> well, i'm not so sure that it would, actually. and i always take issue with neil. everything. no, not not everything at all. >> round two. >> round two. >> just before harry and meghan got married, everything had been going brilliantly. they were the new hope. they were the, the diverse couple. everybody loved them. harry had been the most popular member of the royal family apart from the queen, way more popular than william and way more popular, than anybody in the royal family. and when that that could not be allowed to continue . so the first story to continue. so the first story that came out and this sounds very frivolous and petty, but there was a story that that
10:38 pm
meghan had made kate cry over something to do with the bridesmaid wearing tights or not wearing tights, as it turned out, years later, we found out that it was the other way round and it was kate who'd made meghan cry. so i would tell you that these things will eventually come out and nobody is meghan's version. >> so you're firmly in team. >> so you're firmly in team. >> team meghan over team catherine. >> absolutely. always have been. >> absolutely. always have been. >> do you dislike princess catherine? >> i don't dislike her at all. i feel sorry for her. i feel sorry for her. she's. >> in what sense ? what do you >> in what sense? what do you mean by that? >> i feel sorry for her because she. you know, she has done her absolute best. she has conformed in every way possible. she's been you know, give her a gold star for her behaviour and the way she's fitted into the royal role. and i don't think she's a happy woman. >> you don't think catherine is a happy woman? >> i do not. »- >> i do not. >> these are damning words from nina myskow. >> would you . >> would you. >> would you. >> do you think she's happy? >> do you think she's happy? >> would you agree with that? i mean , linda, do you think that's mean, linda, do you think that's an offensive thing to say about catherine? >> not at all. because there are
10:39 pm
times when i think she looks unhappy, too. and we all hear stories about things that may have made her unhappy. but we don't talk about those in public, so it doesn't all creep out eventually. i mean, if you think about princess diana, there were a lot of stories, a lot of stories of her that came out after lady colin campbell wrote her book. then andrew morton wrote his book about relationships, relationships on stories did not creep out via the staff. yeah, they really yeah, they did harry arnold and wrote endlessly. >> but i mean, how can you say that this poor woman is unhappy ? that this poor woman is unhappy? i mean, she's battling cancer, isn't she? >> i mean, before i'm talking about before. >> i'm talking about before. i'm not talking about because we haven't seen her at all. right? i'm saying that i think she's in a very difficult position, see. >> would you agree with that? do you think that that you know that there are issues within the royal family and you know that it's not only harry and meghan that went through mental
10:40 pm
anguish? perhaps the waleses are suffering too. >> well, i think that , as nina >> well, i think that, as nina puts her hands up, she is team meghan, the only person who's ever validated the story that it was, that catherine made meghan cw was, that catherine made meghan cry was meghan. that's meghan's story . story. >> no, it was it was printed in the sun about 18 months. well, then it must be true for meghan. no, no. yes, it was from meghan . no, no. yes, it was from meghan. from meghan. it was not from meghan. >> but is there anyone else that stood up that story other than meghan's camp that it was meghan who was made to cry? >> i'm honestly not sure. i'm honestly not sure. >> there we have to believe. i mean, can you believe anything that meghan markle says? >> absolutely. that woman has been vilified like yoko ono . been vilified like yoko ono. >> why did she tell? why did she tell oprah winfrey that she'd had her wedding the day before the wedding, which was then dismissed as nonsense by the archbishop of canterbury? >> her mind it was a wedding. if you have some kind of ceremony. >> so she's mental. no, no. so
10:41 pm
what you're saying is meghan is in her mind. >> it's a romantic thing. honestly the demolition job that the press has done on meghan and harry is absolutely superb, but i do think they've done it to themselves. >> do you know what, though, harry? >> you know what though? i take the late queen elizabeth's view on this, recollections may vary , on this, recollections may vary, and i think that meghan's recollections in particular. >> what about this from the sun newspaper ? sorry to interrupt newspaper? sorry to interrupt you, neil, this is britta zeitman in the sun on the 27th 21st of july, 2022. royal wedding row meghan markle did make kate middleton cry in dress row after comparing charlotte unfavourably to best pals daughter. there it is in black and white that somebody else i honestly i, i think she had a different set of rules. >> this whole thing about emailing staff at 530 in the morning after she'd done her salute to the sun or whatever else she does in yoga, that all
10:42 pm
of that behaviour was normal to her. it's normal to her, exactly. but it is abnormal to other members of the royal house. well, let's bring it back to the story that matters here. >> what is this really about? tonight we have a cause for celebration. you do ? and i think celebration. you do? and i think it's a cause for celebration that everybody can embrace . that everybody can embrace. >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> and i think that what you have here is that, at the very least, we have the start of the story of kate coming back to recovery. now, what is a truth is there is no magical cure story because no cancer doctor would say that anybody was cured in such a short space of time. but she may well be hopefully clear. and they will be looking over the next five years to see that it has become permanent. >> okay. well, listen, coming up next, diane abbott with
10:43 pm
