guaranteed. well, it comes as israel is intensifying its airstrikes hitting beirut. you can see there live scenes of the skyline of beirut as smoke hangs in the air. that's as israel targets hezbollah, with hezbollah responding and firing 100 rockets into israel. meanwhile, the uk has said it will send £10 million in aid to lebanon and troops are now stationed in cyprus in case of an emergency. military led evacuation sir keir starmer is urging all remaining british nationals in lebanon to leave immediately as well. meanwhile, donald trump has been urging israel to strike iran's nuclear facilities after iran launched ballistic missiles in response to israeli action in lebanon. speaking at a campaign event yesterday, trump criticised president biden's more restrained approach, saying israel should prioritise hitting iran's nuclear sites. the former president called iran's nuclear threat the biggest risk we face and argued that biden's refusal

to support strikes was, he said, a mistake. >> they asked him what do you think about what do you think about iran? would you hit iran? and he goes, as long as they don't hit the nuclear stuff, that's the thing you want to hit, right? i said, i think he's got that one wrong. isn't that what you're supposed to hit? i mean, it's the most it's the biggest risk we have nuclear weapons, the power of nuclear weapons, the power of nuclear weapons, the power of nuclear weapons, the power of weaponry. you know, i rebuilt the entire military jets, everything. i built it , military jets, everything. i built it, including nuclear. and i hated to build the nuclear. but i got to know firsthand the power of that stuff . power of that stuff. >> turning back to news here at home and a large policing operation is planned across london. this weekend. as protests and memorials mark the anniversary of the 7th of october attacks in israel. today's demonstration , organised today's demonstration, organised by the palestine solidarity campaign, will see protesters march from russell square through to whitehall, with a

counter—protest also taking place, while on sunday. tomorrow, jewish groups will hold a memorial event in hyde park. the met police say they do have plans to ensure public safety, with officers in contact with the event's organisers. the force's also urging the to pubuc force's also urging the to public report any suspicious activity through the weekend , as activity through the weekend, as emotions and intentions are expected to run high. well, as we heard at the top of the hour, bofis we heard at the top of the hour, boris johnson is gearing to release his new memoir, unleashed. it's out next week and in a sit down with camilla tominey here on gb news, the former prime minister warned it would be a disaster if sir keir starmer tries to reverse brexit. mr johnson also reaffirmed his mrjohnson also reaffirmed his belief in brexit, claiming it's given the uk the freedom to act more decisively. and as for the future, well, he insists brexit offers the chance to do things better. take a listen to what he had to say. >> what do you think? >> what do you think? >> if we'd been and reeves are trying to reverse, so if we'd been a rules, let's say this is the key point.

>> if we. yeah. that's what of course they are. now, if we'd been a rules taker. yes. in at the end of 2020, 2021, we would not have been able to authorise astrazeneca and pfizer. no no no. but you keep you keep interrupting this because it's very, very important. and that was how by march 2021, we had vaccinated 45% of the uk population, compared to 10%. >> part of your legacy . >> part of your legacy. >> part of your legacy. >> argentina has vowed to take concrete action to reclaim the falkland islands after the uk relinquished control of the chagos islands, the south american nation claims britain's decision paves the way for it to gain full sovereignty over the falklands, which buenos aires calls malvinas. our political correspondent katherine forster, asked sir keir starmer in liverpool yesterday whether the deal signals a change to the uk's approach over other overseas territories. >> argentina now saying they want the falklands back. can you guarantee that under labour, no other overseas territories of

britain will be signed away? >> look, the single most important thing was ensuring that we had a secure base that joined us in particular uk base. hugely important to us, hugely important to us. we've now secured that and that is why you saw such warm words from the us yesterday . yesterday. >> and finally, from just 13 runners to now millions, parkrun is marking its 20th anniversary today. the global running movement , today. the global running movement, which began with just a handful of people in london's bushy park in 2004, now spans over 2500 locations in more than 20 countries. founder paul sinton—hewitt, who started the five—k events to aid his recovery from injury, says parkrun has grown into a force for both physical and mental health, now recommended by thousands of gp surgeries worldwide, the weekly events have registered over 10 million people. that's it from me for

now. i'll be back with you in just under an hour's time. back now to ben and tatiana. just how fast can they run a five k? >> for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code , or go to the qr code, or go to gbnews.com. forward slash alerts . gbnews.com. forward slash alerts. >> good morning to you. hope you're well. >> i've never actually run a5k before, so i think the most i've doneis before, so i think the most i've done is three k. >> i've done 15k, which i didn't train for and i got 19 minutes 30s which i'm told is not bad. that was about i said it's very goodin that was about i said it's very good in my ear. >> i did three k in 19 minutes in 19, so i did two k more in the same time. >> great. >> great. >> good. lovely. shall we. shall we move on? yeah. >> let's move on. >> okay. brilliant. >> okay. brilliant. >> we're talking. >> we're talking. >> let's move on. >> we're talking about parkrun actually, because we've got it's the anniversary of parkrun today and we've got a mega guest on. i

won't tell you who just yet, but it's an olympic gold. gold bronze winning medallist. yeah. >> and she's amazing isn't she. but yeah let's move on for now to the middle east conflict, where the foreign office says that more than 250 british nationals have now left lebanon on chartered flights by the government. the uk has chartered another flight to leave beirut tomorrow, and the foreign secretary has urged any remaining british citizens who want to leave to register immediately. >> yeah, it's on a knife edge, isn't it? we say every week, but it really is. it comes as israel continues its ground and air operation in southern lebanon, with explosions reported in beirut overnight. joining us now is colonel richard kemp, a former british army commander and former chairman of cobra, who's in tel aviv. as we speak. good morning, richard. thanks for joining us. various airstrikes forjoining us. various airstrikes overnight in lebanon , airstrikes overnight in lebanon, including the death of, was it a hezbollah leader in a in a refugee camp? is that right ? refugee camp? is that right? >> yeah. i mean, the in the last week or so, the last couple of weeks, israel has basically

decapitated hezbollah killing, not only the head of hezbollah, hassan nasrallah, but also many other leaders. and this has left hezbollah in a very weak state. it's still a potent terrorist organisation. but but leaderless, it's going to struggle, i think, to hold back israel's advances in southern lebanon, which are designed to effectively push hezbollah terrorists north of lebanon, further away from the israeli border. so that hopefully in due course, the 65,000 israelis who have been forced to leave their homes since lebanon, since hezbollah started its attacks on israel a year ago , can can now israel a year ago, can can now return home. >> now, colonel israel says that its invasion of southern lebanon is confined to the border villages, but at the same time , villages, but at the same time, it's ordering lebanese 20km away to evacuate. so is that really

the case? >> yeah. i mean, if you think about it in terms of modern warfare, 20km is not very far. some some of hezbollah's missiles have vastly greater range than that. and so israel is not just not just focusing on the very southern part of lebanon. of course, that's where the ground operation is taking place at the moment. but airstrikes are being conducted further north against the hezbollah leadership, as we mentioned. but also against hezbollah rocket launch sites and other elements of the infrastructure. and the idea really , i think, is to force really, i think, is to force hezbollah to comply with a un resolution from many years ago which required demilitarisation of the area at least 18km north of the area at least 18km north of the area at least 18km north of the israeli border. and that's i think, the minimum that israel is going to try and achieve. now there's a river called the litani river that's about that far from the border, and they're going to try and force hezbollah north there. it won't eliminate the threat completely, because hezbollah will still have longer range

missiles . will still have longer range missiles. but will still have longer range missiles . but it will still have longer range missiles. but it will, will still have longer range missiles . but it will, i will still have longer range missiles. but it will, i think, probably allow many or most of the refugees from israel to return home. >> yeah. richard, 350 brits left on mercy flights overnight, chartered by the government. i think there's a fourth tomorrow morning. david lammy says flights are limited, but there are seats available. how many brits are in lebanon? do we understand? >> i don't know the answer to that, but there's a fair number. and as you know as well, the british armed forces are in cyprus preparing to if necessary, to carry out emergency evacuations , either by emergency evacuations, either by air or by sea or both. and i'm sure that, you know, when you look at what britain managed to achieve, which was quite significant in afghanistan when we withdrew from there in terms of evacuating people from afghanistan, i'm sure there'll be a pretty effective operation to allow all of those brits in lebanon who want to leave to get to safety. >> and, colonel, let's talk about iran. they have they, of

course, sent almost 200 ballistic missiles and fired them towards israel in the last few days. do we think that israel will respond? they've been warned not to by iran, but that doesn't mean that they won't. >> well, of course iran will warn them not to and have warned them of the dire consequences of them of the dire consequences of them doing so . but israel has to them doing so. but israel has to respond. no country could accept something like 200 ballistic missiles, nearly 200 ballistic missiles, nearly 200 ballistic missiles being fired at its population without a significant response. it happened before in april, when iran fired even more missiles. and iran. israel replied with a pretty limited response that clearly didn't work, because we then had a repetition last week and including rockets that were fired here into tel aviv, where i am at the moment. fired here into tel aviv, where i am at the moment . and although i am at the moment. and although most of them were intercepted, there were a few did land and hit targets in israel . but yeah, hit targets in israel. but yeah, israel has got to respond and it's got to respond with, i

think, devastating force to make the point to the ayatollahs that they cannot just fire missiles at israel with impunity. and let's not forget as well, iran is the head of the octopus. it's got a it's fighting israel now on seven different fronts, including in gaza and in lebanon, using its proxies . and lebanon, using its proxies. and the only way really, i think, to put a stop to that and let's not forget as well that there were missiles fired yesterday or a drone fired yesterday from iraq into the golan heights. so there's threats from every direction, which can only really be, i think, stopped by a significant counter—attack against iran. >> okay, we wait with bated breath. colonel richard kemp, former british army commander in tel aviv. stay safe, won't you, and we'll catch up shortly. donald trump, of course, saying in recent days that israel should target iran's nuclear facilities. is that the right response? let us know what you think, gbnews.com/yoursay. of course it does risk escalating

the entire region, but what other choice does israel have? >> i mean, should we bring our panel to in talk about a little bit about the middle east and or should we move on to something else? well, we do have our panel with us today. it's author and broadcaster jenni with us today. it's author and broadcasterjenni trent hughes and former apprentice star and my good friend trey low. welcome to saturday morning live. good to saturday morning live. good to have you both with us on the sofa again. where shall we begin? good morning to you both. >> what about 1 in 50 albanians? are in uk prisons. so this is some really in—depth analysis from the daily telegraph. it's not just about albanians, it's the wider discussion about whether we should copy denmark and the us and publish league tables of migrant criminals. so the telegraph reckons that albanians are top of the list. then it's the likes of somalians, kosovans, iraqis and bottom of the list. i guess the most well—behaved foreign nationals in the uk. greeks , nationals in the uk. greeks, italians, chinese and indians. and actually they found that the prison rate of foreign nationals in the uk is 30% higher than

brits . so, trey, have you got brits. so, trey, have you got thoughts on that ? thoughts on that? >> i don't know, i get the whole need to publish tables. so you sort of get a sense of who you're letting in and how they're behaving themselves. i mean, lots of other countries exercise that, right to get a sense of how people are behaving. but i think especially in light with the recent troubles and the riots, it could be a slippery slope, isn't it, because it's easy to paint an entire people based on the, you know, the misdeeds of a few of them? you know, and i think, where's that going to end up? you know, are people going to start looking at british born immigrants, maybe someone like myself, and starting to look at the criminality rates amongst people that are here and there are so many nuances as to why people end up in prisons. i think it's a slippery slope because why, you know, i mean, like you said though, if we're looking at the statistics, if we're talking about 1 in 50 albanians. >> so that's more than 1200. if we're talking about potentially high numbers, as you said, though , it could actually help.

though, it could actually help. so that we can monitor is that is that fair? you can monitor who's coming into the uk. >> i actually i find it incredibly , incredibly sad, incredibly, incredibly sad, probably because i'm a bit older than the three of you, but it just makes me think of signs in windows saying no blacks, no irish, no dogs. hang on a minute and one would think that we had moved on from that. and i actually don't, i don't i actually don't, i don't i actually don't, i don't i actually don't think it's any kind of funny. and i think it's very, very lazy thinking because, you know, you're going to say so somebody shows up at the, you know, at the passport place, whatever , albanian whom place, whatever, albanian whom you know , so your people grow you know, so your people grow into what, how you treat them. >> and you're suggesting it's racist, then to highlight foreign criminals who shouldn't be here in the uk, they're in our prisons costing taxpayers money. they're not citizens of the uk, they're foreign

nationals. you're suggesting highlighting criminals is racist? >> okay, so here's the thing. don't even think of playing that game with me. don't even don't even let it. you said it. you said no, i didn't. no, i didn't. so our irish people. so will we be, you know, are we racist against irish people of course not. nobody's saying anything about racists. i'm not saying anybody is being racist against albanians . albanians. >> what did you what was your. >> what did you what was your. >> there used to be signs in windows that said no blacks, no irish, no dogs. so in other words , you were immediately words, you were immediately classified as unacceptable. if you were one of those things you're saying, it's more like a preconception. it is an absolute. it's an absolute preconception. and they have all kinds of psychological studies that people behave like how society regards them. so if we start regarding, oh yes, albanians, criminals , kosovans albanians, criminals, kosovans criminals, you know, lots of engush criminals, you know, lots of english people are criminals. lots of scottish people are criminals . they're welsh people

criminals. they're welsh people are criminals. >> i guess the deeper argument is these people should be that that people are saying these are foreign nationals in our prisons. they should be deported, which is what the labour government says we should do as well. i mean, it's not that's a that's a different conversation , but to me that's conversation, but to me that's a different conversation because i don't have a problem with that. >> i don't feel that we should be letting in criminals. i feel that if someone comes here and commits a crime, that they should be sent back from whence they came. and i think that we should check very carefully when people come in as to what their backgrounds are. so i have no problem at all with that. it's lists classifying nationality just just one more question. >> are you not concerned that nearly 30% of foreign nationals are committing more crime than brits? what do you make of that? >> there used to be a saying that i don't remember completely, but about, you know , completely, but about, you know, statistics, lies, lies, statistics, lies, lies, statistics , numbers, whatever. statistics, numbers, whatever. i don't trust most statistics . and don't trust most statistics. and i'm actually really disappointed in the daily telegraph because

they actually are my favourite papen >> but isn't that the point though? so because the government don't publish these stats, it's down to publications like the telegraph to get their own stats from foi and do some hard digging. shouldn't we just be transparent and the government just print it anyway and then you wouldn't have people. >> yeah, but that's like saying i don't believe it because it's not. but that's like stats that say, you know, most people in you know, most people in prison come from single parent say, you know, most people in prison come from single parent families. that's useless. >> it's not necessarily us families. that's useless. >> it's not necessarily us knowing the details. it's how knowing the details. it's how the details are used. and i the details are used. and i think it's quite easy that think it's quite easy that people can start pointing people can start pointing fingers. i mean, you can look to fingers. i mean, you can look to we were i actually googled it we were i actually googled it earlier in the african earlier in the african community, african caribbean community, african caribbean community. i think it's community. i think it's something like 13 or 14% something like 13 or 14% incarceration rates now without incarceration rates now without going into the reasons why, it's going into the reasons why, it's very easy just to label an very easy just to label an entire people as somehow entire people as somehow inherently criminal. but at the inherently criminal. but at the same time, we've got to balance same time, we've got to balance it with who are we letting in it with who are we letting in and what are they doing? because and what are they doing? because the minute you commit a crime, the minute you commit a crime, you should forfeit your right to you should forfeit your right to stay here. we agree. yeah. my stay here. we agree. yeah. my concern is how that data is concern is how that data is

going to be used. and by going to be used. and by criminalise an entire sector of people and without looking at a lot of the nuances in it, what type of crimes they commit, what are the circumstances? like you say, you can you can say, you know, people from single parent homes, people from working class homes. you can you can break the stats. any way to start to demonise people. so it's good in principle. it's how we use it. going forward. >> okey doke. let's move on. shall we go on to tennis? we both like tennis, don't we? should we talk about emma raducanu? yes. no, it's a it's a switch of gears . that was quite switch of gears. that was quite heavy. >> oh not really. no. >> oh not really. no. >> at least let's talk about portia. >> why don't we just go to emma raducanu? she's had another loss for her as portia have taken back their freebie three years after her stunning us open win. i feel a bit sorry for her. she's found that that you might disagree with me. >> i'm not going to get involved in emma raducanu a bit difficult, hasn't she? >> over the years she was shot to fame after her success. >> so portia, she still is an ambassador. they've just taken away the 9/11 car that they loaned her. you know, i don't know why, but i've always said about emma raducanu very

talented. of course . won a us talented. of course. won a us open at a very young age. amazing. but my only slight was i personally wouldn't have gone and done all these mega brand deals immediately afterwards because some people in the tennis world feels that it distracted her from the tennis, which may explain partly why amongst with the injuries she's had, why she's not had much success since that grand slam win. >> do you want to go first with lovely emma? it's a hard one like, look. she won the us

lovely emma? it's a hard one like,doesn't he won the us lovely emma? it's a hard one like,doesn't winvon the us lovely emma? it's a hard one like,doesn't win anymore.5 lovely emma? it's a hard one like,doesn't win anymore. she's she doesn't win anymore. she's injured all the time, but you're seeing her popping up with all of these endorsements . but i of these endorsements. but i mean, who wouldn't take it? if you're offered a nice 9/11, i'll take it. yeah, yeah. >> can i say something? >> can i say something? >> here we go . >> here we go. >> here we go. >> because we had a bit of a chit chat about it before. i will never forgive her because i think she dissed andy and that whole , you know, see, like, oh, whole, you know, see, like, oh, you see, look at that smile. you were right. because i said, but i can't say that he said, i think a lot of people feel that. so a, i had a huge problem with that. >> for anyone who doesn't remember, that was when she pulled out her doubles. yeah, yeah. what would have been his last game. >> and i thought that that was inexcusable. but on a serious note , like what trey is saying, note, like what trey is saying, you need you don't you don't take all the candy before you go to the party. she, she, i think, has not done the way that she as well as she could because she's

not done the work. >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> all right. well, we wish her luck. well done. emma i'm still a big fan. i guess the criticism, if you want to call it that, is because, as trey said, we just want you to do well and live up to your full potential. but what do i know? i'm probably not very good at tennis at all compared to you, but yeah, trey and jenny. thank you. you'll be back in the next hour or so. and also, by the way, do you recall bofis also, by the way, do you recall boris johnson? he's told gb news of course you recall boris johnson, the former prime minister, who can forget. he's told gb news he thinks sir keir starmer's government is determined to roll back on brexit. look at this rachel reevesis brexit. look at this rachel reeves is now saying we've got to go back into being a rules taker from the eu .

>> right. >> right. >> right. >> welcome back to saturday to saturday morning live. and we have a very >> welcome back to saturday morning live. and we have a very exciting couple of guests for exciting couple of guests for

you now, a host of you now, a host of star british actors are coming together to appearin actors are coming together to appear in a new short film aiming to help raise awareness of eating disorders. >> the film will feature the likes of this country actor paul coopen likes of this country actor paul cooper, actress and reality tv star jess impiazzi and former starjess impiazzi and former hollyoaks actress michaela dodd, who have all been affected by eating disorders in their lives. >> now this film is being produced by author lynn crilly, who became a counsellor after her daughter samantha was diagnosed with an eating disorder and ocd 20 years ago, and lynn crilly and her daughter samantha join us in the studio now. it's lovely to have you both here. thank you very much for joining us today. tell us forjoining us today. tell us about this film, because it's obviously come from your own experiences. so tell us, tell us a bit about a bit about that. you want me to go. yeah. >> so she explains it better. oh no . so we wanted to create no. so we wanted to create something for the entertainment industry that wasn't just another kind of doll documentary. i mean, some of them are brilliant. they're very

informative, but you kind of leave a bit bewildered and a little bit kind of flat. so. and i'm quite passionate about comedy and we laughed a lot, didn't we, during our kind of rock bottom times. and i think a lot of people do that. if you can laugh in the face of adversity, you're very much bullet—proof . so we thought, bullet—proof. so we thought, i've got a passion for writing and you've obviously got an unbounded knowledge on the subject. why don't we create a film with a kind of satirical look on eating disorders? it's a bit of a risk. it's never been done before, but equally, it's kind of threaded through with a lot of information and awareness about the subject. and also we've made it very non—triggering as well. >> so this came 20. well, it's been made 20 years after your own. it is 20 years, 20 years practically to the day. so samantha, you suffered with ocd and an eating disorder as well . and an eating disorder as well. yes. and that's when your mum became a counsellor. is that right? >> a little bit later on, i think we went through, we spent a bit of time in the system and i realised that it wasn't working for us, so i took it on

myself to learn as much as i could about the subject, and we worked with sam at home and it sort of our story has blossomed from there. >> it's such an inspiring story, how you can use a i call it a tragedy, probably the wrong word, but no, it is a tragedy. >> is it mental ill health and eating disorders destroy the lives of not only the sufferers, but their families as well. >> well, you've you've turned that into, into something so positive and so, you know, so it's amazing really that 20 years ago our story was just beginning. >> and 20 years on, we've done what we've done. but i have to say that very little has changed in the system. and i think that's what we're passionate about. yeah. >> so the stigma around eating disorders, for example, you've heard of eating disorders for years, but sometimes there is a stigma . could you tell us what stigma. could you tell us what that stigma is and what you're trying to do through the film and your books to change that and your books to change that and raise more awareness?

so much more needs to be done. and i think with eating

disorders, there is still a lot of misunderstanding around the and your books to change that and raise more awarearound the of misunderstanding around the subject. yeah. and we were very subject. yeah. and we were very lucky. and i will name names of lucky. and i will name names of the people like michaela, paul, the people like michaela, paul, jess, ben jardine , ben, bobby jess, ben jardine , ben, bobby jess, ben jardine, ben, bobby davro's in it, and sinner, sid jess, ben jardine, ben, bobby davro's in it, and sinner, sid owen, owen. yeah, he was lovely. owen, owen. yeah, he was lovely. ricky. yeah, he's in it. ricky. yeah, he's in it. susannah . paige. did you get susannah . paige. did you get susannah. paige. did you get them involved in. i think it's susannah. paige. did you get them involved in. i think it's sort of years of probably sort of years of probably networking, but also they're networking, but also they're passionate about for their own passionate about for their own reasons. they're passionate reasons. they're passionate delicate more needs to be done. about the subject and they all about the subject and they all gave up three days of their life gave up three days of their life to come and do it for nothing. to come and do it for nothing. >> well, it's funny because >> well, it's funny because behind the scenes, everyone's behind the scenes, everyone's kind of talking about their kind of talking about their experiences, and we've obviously experiences, and we've obviously had caterers in and everyone's had caterers in and everyone's like, i had to leave the table like, i had to leave the table just because i was going to just because i was going to overeat. everyone had some kind of link to the project, so overeat. everyone had some kind of link to the project, so everyone was talking about their everyone was talking about their their kind of struggles with it their kind of struggles with it behind the scenes, but then behind the scenes, but then obviously playing different obviously playing different characters that had different characters that had different eating disorders. so it was eating disorders. so it was quite close to everyone's heart. quite close to everyone's heart. but i think it is a risk doing a but i think it satirical look on something as

that. >> no, it doesn't actually well, moving on, boris johnson has warned it would be a disaster if sir keir starmer tries to reverse brexit. >> could you imagine? in an interview with camilla tominey for gb news airing tomorrow, don't miss it. the former pm said he believed the government is determined to row back on leaving the eu. take a listen. >> i believe that we're great if we do things on our own. i think we're great. i think that national independence is extremely important, and i think that that point is proved beyond peradventure of a doubt in unleashed. yes, because having secured full national independence, we were able to do things differently, such as the vaccine rollout, such as the aukus pact, such as the taking a different stance from our european partners on on ukraine. do you think ? and so i think and do you think? and so i think and i believe and what worries me now is that the starmer

government is really determined to try to roll all this stuff back, and it will be a disaster unless we keep that proper control, we won't be able to do things like that again. so rachel reeves is now saying, we've got to go back into being a rules taker from the eu. now, if we'd been and reeves are trying to reverse brexit, if we'd been a rules this is the key point. if we'd. yeah. that's what of course they are. now. if we'd been a rules taker. yes. in at the end of 2020, 2021 we would not have been able to authorise astrazeneca and pfizer. no no no. but you keep you keep interrupting this because it's very, very important . and that was how by important. and that was how by march 2021, we had vaccinated 45% of the uk population compared to 10% of your legacy . compared to 10% of your legacy. >> so there we go. just a little

bit of a teaser, a flavour of what's to come tomorrow with camilla tominey and boris johnson's big interview. he also talks about the fact that we need to leave the echr. we need a referendum on that. another one, as brenda from bristol would say. and he's previously mentioned this week about how he reckons benjamin netanyahu, the israeli pm, bugged his bathroom with a listening device on a trip to london. >> israel's been bugging people for years, but i don't know. is that true? is it not? >> i mean, mossad, you saw what they did with the walkie talkies, didn't you? and the pages on hezbollah. >> another thing boris talks about how when he got brexit done, it helped get the pfizer vaccine and astrazeneca out to the people. and we jabbed 45% of the people. and we jabbed 45% of the public. i think it was more than that. >> i think it's about 90%. did he not say 45%? >> you think he's like 45? >> you think he's like 45? >> i think he was 90% off the top of my head. i think about 90% of brits had two jabs. >> well, to my point then, knowing what we know now, maybe you, the viewers at home can tell us what you think. is that even a good thing?

>> well, in terms of what the safety of covid vaccines and so on, i mean, he'd argue that they save millions of lives. and there was some reports saying they saved tens of millions of lives. if you believe that, i don't know, do your own research . don't know, do your own research. but the medical agencies will say, of course, they were effective. interesting point. actually, donald trump says the same thing in america. he calls himself the father of the vaccine. and lots of his maga base are saying, donald, just don't mention that because it's not going to win you any new votes. i don't know why you're trying to mention it. his point donald trump's point is that yes, i introduced the vaccines. i got them delivered at record speed. but unlike joe biden, i didn't mandate them. joe biden mandated some. was it nine? at least 9 million government workers and contractors, forcing them to have the vaccines similar to what they tried to do here in the uk with the nhs workers, which was eventually scrapped by sajid javid? guys take it. it's a blast from the past, isn't it? the covid days? >> rather than think about it, to be honest, my only thing is that knowing what we know now, you know, was it a good thing, a good thing? yeah. some people, some people say the astrazeneca

was much less effective than we thought it was initially . thought it was initially. anyway, shall we move on? >> yes. and also, boris, one more thing. very interesting. he said that the late queen elizabeth the second had bone cancen elizabeth the second had bone cancer. it has been mooted at some points in previous months. he said that she did and also he was a sort of quite poignant when he talked about how he would go and visit the queen for these weekly meetings, and he found it almost therapeutic, which was quite nice. >> lots of exciting topics. yeah, big show with boris and camilla tomorrow morning. >> do not miss it from 9 am. only on gb news. >> yes, well next, love them or hate them online dating apps are still the go to for millions of british adults, with 1 in 10 using them to look for a romantic connection. yes. >> are you one of them? let us know. but with many apps introducing subscription fees and complex algorithms, the world of online dating has never been harder to navigate. so who better to join us to discuss this than mr tinder himself? stefan. pierre tomlin who? stefan. pierre tomlin who? stefan. good morning. welcome to the show. >> thanks for having me. >> thanks for having me.

hello. welcome back to saturday morning live with ben and tatiana. now, from just 13 runners to millions, parkrun is marking its 20th anniversary today. the global running phenomenon began with just a handful of people in london's bushy park in 2004, but now it spans over 2500 locations in 23 countries. can't believe that massive . massive. >> and it's even been credited with helping british athletes georgia bell achieve her olympic dream. >> and we're delighted to say georgia joins us now. good morning georgia. your story is incredible. just remind us of it. you quit running in. was it 2017? because i think i mean to

be quite frank, your body was knackered. you had injuries, you thought you couldn't go on anymore, but then you started running again at parkrun in 2022. and of course this summer at the olympics you won bronze . at the olympics you won bronze. >> yeah that's absolutely right. yeah . it has been a bit of a yeah. it has been a bit of a journey and yeah there was a penod journey and yeah there was a period of time where i stopped running completely. never thought i would run on the track again. and then parkrun was just something i got into with my friends. my family, just local community. and i started to see the improvements that led me to get back in contact with my old coach and just worked my way back up to elite level running and got a bronze medal this summer in paris. >> did you ever think that would happen when you were beginning to take part in park runs again? did you ever think you'd be winning bronze in the 1500 metres at the olympics ? metres at the olympics? >> no, not at all. it would have been absolutely bonkers. i think, to think that at the time, like it was just going for an easy five k and it was a level of competitiveness, but it's more

like you against yourself. and yeah, it was just building my way up, but it was all about finding happiness and running again. and that's really what parkrun does. i think really well. >> and can you just tell tell us in the audience what had happened to you in 2017. when you say your body was was broken, so i had been like a good junior athlete. >> i had gone over to the us on a track scholarship at university and i just experienced so many different injuries. so various stress fractures in my shins and i just graduated and just thought, there's no way i can run anymore. so took a big break and then, yeah, over the past few years, i just got back into running slowly, built it up . and running slowly, built it up. and parkrun is just something that is on every saturday. so many parks across the uk very accessible, free. so it was just accessible, free. so it was just a really good way to get back into a fun but semi level of competitive running . and so

competitive running. and so yeah, it was just a bit of a pi'ocess. >> process. >> why parkrun? is it because there's a camaraderie there and you get to run with other people. >> yeah exactly. so it's like i've done parkrun with my parents. i've done it with my friends. there's people there with dogs, with babies. the volunteers are always so upbeat. there's so many places across the uk that you can do it. so no matter if you're away for a weekend or travelling like there's still an option to go and do a park run. there's still an option to go and do a park run . so yeah, it and do a park run. so yeah, it was just something to really look forward to. and i think it's just no matter who you are, whether you're a professional athlete like me or someone brand new to running, there's just a whole community there to get people into. exercising on a saturday morning . georgia. saturday morning. georgia. >> what was your first time when you returned to running in 2022 at parkrun? what was your five—k time? >> so i think my fastest parkrun time that i've ever done, i think is about just over 16 minutes. i think i did like a 16, ten or something like that,

most places dry fine with some sunny spells , but a little bit sunny spells, but a little bit of rain in some spots. quite a grey damp start through parts of central scotland and staying pretty damp and drizzly on the west coast throughout the day. rain and drizzle on and off too for northern ireland, but probably not much getting into belfast and for most of england . belfast and for most of england. wales. as i said, it's a fine day out there, dry and bright with some sunny spells, a little bit of mist and fog around this morning, but that should scoot away a bit chilly first thing as well. but temperatures by this afternoon up into the mid or even high. teens feeling a little cooler in the west though, as the winds start to strengthen and obviously not feeling all that pleasant with the rain, which will linger for most of the day over the western isles, and rain on and off across the northern isles too. but for the mainland of scotland, i suspect most places actually brightening up a touch. by actually brightening up a touch. by this afternoon, some brighter spells developing across the east of northern ireland. but again here generally quite a lot of cloud through the day and most of england and wales staying fine once any morning mist and fog is gone. but here comes the rain into parts of devon, cornwall and

pembrokeshire by this evening and then spreading its way steadily northwards as we go through the night. still much of central and eastern england, much of southern and eastern scotland, will stay dry through the night. but elsewhere the cloud thickening outbreaks of rain and drizzle moving in and the winds continuing to strengthen. that will add up to a much milder night tonight compared to the night just gone. across these eastern areas, temperatures much higher and generally staying in double digits. on to sunday. it does mean a drab of day tomorrow. much more cloud around in general. some early brightness across the east and it may brighten up later across parts of northern ireland and southwest england. but only once we've seen this showery rain move through. that could be quite heavy, actually, in places and spreading up towards the midlands and across wales again. temperatures mostly in the mid to high teens, quite windy but still feeling quite humid tomorrow as well. >> a nice bright morning will generate a lovely warm day right through to evening. boxt sponsoi's sponsors of weather on

gb news. >> good morning, i'm ben lee alongside tatiana sanchez and this is saturday morning live. >> great to have your company again this morning. and we have an action packed show for you. >> we do indeed. brits are to told flee lebanon as israel's offensive thatcherite organises more emergency evacuation flights overnight . flights overnight. >> boris johnson tells gb news he believes the starmer government is determined to roll back on brexit and warns the move would be a disaster. >> and from living on the streets to running a £5 million law firm, we'll speak to entrepreneur adam pope about his inspirational journey and the secrets to achieving success. >> and taylor swift has made an unexpected and generous donation to a uk charity. we'll have all of the details on that and all of the details on that and all of the details on that and all of the latest showbiz news.

>> thanks for joining of the latest showbiz news. >> thanks forjoining us of the latest showbiz news. >> thanks for joining us this morning. and of course we're going to be getting stuck into this big mystery surrounding the bbc at the moment. is tonight going to be gary lineker's saint gary , as some of you would call gary, as some of you would call him, his last ever show on match of the day. there was this leaked letter, wasn't there, tatiana? oh, careful. >> i'm falling. >> i'm falling. >> have you been on the spirits? >> have you been on the spirits? >> it's not been confirmed or denied. has it really? no. >> so the bbc had this leaked letter saying tonight was going to be gary's last show. he's, of course, paid a million. well, £1.3 million of licence fee money. and the beeb, instead of saying no, absolutely rubbish, they've just refused to confirm or deny. and instead, according to the times, this morning launched a manhunt to find out where this letter came from. who leaked it? you would have thought. i mean gary lineker. will he be missed on match of the day? >> i would say yes, absolutely. he's been the face of it for so many years, hasn't he? but he's also drawn up some controversy over the last few years as well.

so there might be some differing opinions on that massive wage bill though, just for saying, here's the footy . he's the most here's the footy. he's the most highest paid bbc presenter, is that right? >> yeah, £1.3 million of licence fee money. i think it was being renegotiated to £1 million. but regardless, tonight could be his last ever show and if he does 90, last ever show and if he does go, who do you think should replace him? let us know gbnews.com/yoursay. but before we do anything else, sam francis has all your news headlines. >> very good morning to you from the newsroom. just after 11:00. we start this hour in the middle east, where british nationals are still fleeing lebanon, with the final flight set for sunday tomorrow. amid the escalating conflict across the region, over 250 people have already evacuated back here to the uk on government chartered flights, with the foreign secretary david lammy now warning others to register as soon as possible as future flights aren't guaranteed. well, it comes as

israel intensifies its airstrikes hit in beirut and hezbollah targets, while hezbollah, in response, has fired 100 rockets into israel. meanwhile, the uk says it will send £10 million in aid to lebanon and troops are also now stationed in cyprus in case of an emergency. military led evacuation. if beirut airport closes, sir keir starmer is urging all remaining british nationals in lebanon to leave immediately. meanwhile , donald immediately. meanwhile, donald trump is urging israel to strike iran's nuclear facilities after iran's nuclear facilities after iran launched ballistic missiles in response to israeli action in lebanon. speaking yesterday at a campaign event, trump criticised president biden's more restrained approach, saying israel should prioritise hitting iran's nuclear sites. the former president called iran's nuclear threat the biggest risk we face and argued that biden's refusal to support any strikes was mistake. >> they asked him, what do you

think about what do you think about iran? would you hit iran? and he goes, as long as they don't hit the nuclear stuff, that's the thing you want to hit, right? i said, i think he's got that one wrong. isn't that what you're supposed to hit? i mean, it's the most it's the biggest risk we have nuclear weapons, the power of nuclear weapons, the power of nuclear weapons, the power of nuclear weapons, the power of weaponry. you know, i rebuilt the entire military jets, everything. i built it , military jets, everything. i built it, including nuclear. and i hated to build the nuclear. but i got to know firsthand the power of that stuff . power of that stuff. >> people will be out on the streets in bigger numbers. that's the warning from ben jamal, head of the palestine solidarity campaign. as pro—palestine marches are set to continue this weekend across the uk, the 20th national march for palestine is set to take place in london today, with numbers expected to rise beyond recent rallies, which drew up to 100,000 people. jamal says protests will persist until action is taken against israel,

highlighting concerns about britain's military involvement and the potential for a major war. organisers say the marches aim to show solidarity, galvanise support and create political pressure. will the largest mass march last november saw around a million people take part ? news just into us in the part? news just into us in the last hour or so that ukraine says it will prepare to reveal its victory plan at a meeting with its allies in germany on the 12th of october, president zelenskyy says that plan will outline clear steps to ending the conflict with russia after nearly 1000 days of war, while the details are still private, u.s. the details are still private, us. officials suggest it is just a revised call for more military aid and long—range missile capabilities. the white house has expressed its support, but concerns still linger about the lack of a thorough strategic framework . here, boris johnson framework. here, boris johnson is gearing up to release his new memoir titled unleashed, due out

next week, and in a sit down with camilla tominey on gb news, the former prime minister warned it would be a disaster if sir keir starmer tries to reverse brexit. mrjohnson also brexit. mr johnson also reaffirmed brexit. mrjohnson also reaffirmed his belief in brexit, claiming it has given the uk freedom to act more decisively. and as for the future, well, he insists brexit offers the chance to do things better. take a listen to what he had to say. >> what do you think? if we'd been and reeves are trying to reverse, so if we'd been a rules, this is the key point. >> if we. that's what of course they are. now if we'd been a rules taker. yes. in at the end of 2020, 2021, we would not have been able to authorise astrazeneca and pfizer. no no no. but you keep you keep interrupting this because it's very, very important. and that was how by march 2021, we had vaccinated 45% of the uk population , compared to 10% of population, compared to 10% of your legacy . your legacy. >> a family in lancashire say

they are heartbroken after police mistakenly euthanized their xl bully dog, called bruno . their xl bully dog, called bruno. lancashire police admitted the error, saying bruno was put down due to an administration mistake while his owners were seeking an exemption to keep him. the force has issued their unreserved apology and vowed to change its processes to prevent it from happening again. a local mp in the area is calling for answers , the area is calling for answers, describing the incident as a never event that shouldn't have occurred. the family is now demanding more transparency on how the police will ensure it doesn't happen again . the doesn't happen again. the northern lights could soon put on a dazzling display across the uk. recent solar flares are expected to make the aurora borealis visible, with the best chances to see it in scotland, northern ireland and northern england tonight has the greatest likelihood of sightings, especially late between 11 pm. and midnight. experts advise finding dark skies and looking to north maximise your chances. there's intense solar activity

could push the lights further south. nasa has also confirmed a powerful solar flare on thursday of this week, which is driving that increase in geomagnetic activity . finally, thousands of activity. finally, thousands of motorcyclists are revving their engines today as they gather for a heartfelt tribute. riders from across the uk are converging on the national memorial arboretum in staffordshire for the annual ride to the wall. the event honours the names engraved on the armed forces memorial. they're celebrating the bravery of those who served since 2008. motorcyclists of all ages have joined the unique pilgrimage, showing solidarity and remembrance. those are the latest headlines for now. i'll the qr code, or go to gbnews.com forwarheadlineserts . the qr code, or go to gbnews.com forwar headlines for . be back with you for a roundup the qr code, or go to gbnews.com forwar headlines for now. i'll latest headlines for now. i'll be back with you for a roundup in about half an hour. in about half an hour. >> for the very latest gb news >> for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning 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 .

forward slash alerts. >> thank you sam. 1108. ben and tatiana with you on saturday morning live only on gb news. >> well, the foreign office says more than 250 british nationals have left lebanon on flights chartered by the uk government. the uk has chartered another flight to leave beirut tomorrow, and the foreign secretary has urged any remaining british citizens who want to leave to register immediately. >> yes. david lammy said there was, i think, the quote was there are few or limited flights but there are still seats. so if you happen to be watching gb news from lebanon now and you

see a we eventually see a response from israel to iran, a retaliation to those 200 odd ballistic missiles? the other night ? night? >> well, i think that the retaliation has already begun. i think that the you've already seen the escalation of israeli strikes in southern lebanon. there have been major blasts that have been reported now in beirut, and they're demanding evacuations for up to 30 villages in the south and potentially 70 towns overall across the country. so there's been a lot of movements over here and 300,000 people have already left or crossed into syria. moreover, there's the possibility of retaliations against iran that could take the form of subterfuge operations like we saw them launch against haniyeh or basically strikes on oil or nuclear facilities. >> trump is suggesting that israel should strike iran's nuclear facilities. would that be a good idea? >> well, it's something that's been discussed on and off in the past. it was probably last discussed with this intensity. you know , around 2011, 2012,

you know, around 2011, 2012, which was about a year before significant progress was made on the nuclear interim agreement that eventually led to the jcpoa. it was during ahmadinejad's presidency. but back at that time, the americans dissuaded the iranians from carrying that out. and i suspect that the american administration, at least the biden administration, will dissuade them again in part because it might increase the risk of an asymmetric iranian response. so the iranians might respond for example, by weaponizing oil, by blocking the strait of hormuz or targeting saudi oil facilities or doing something that would be very deleterious to western economies if they're seen to be supporting those kind of operations. >> sam, you mentioned that the us government does the us president, joe biden, have a plan or is he just waiting like the rest of us? >> well, i mean, i think that the us is hoping that diplomacy was going to be able to prevent us from getting to this point of escalation. there was a flurry of diplomatic exchanges that were occurring, basically, that

were occurring, basically, that were aimed at preventing the blow—out of a conflict in southern lebanon. so five kilometre evacuation of hezbollah forces from southern lebanon, clearing some space in the hopes that the israelis would accept that and not escalate these. the americans were clearly hoping for some kind of a breakthrough in some of the gaza ceasefire negotiations, especially with respect to the safety of the hostages. but none of those things transpired. those border delimitation agreements didn't work. the ground invasion of lebanon began, and gaza is nowhere near a situation where there's going to be a ceasefire, as many of the hostages have turned up dead. so i think that the americans have tried a lot of diplomacy, but all the diplomacy so far has failed. and i don't think that biden wants to break with netanyahu, though of course, we're so close to an election. >> okay. samuel rahmani, middle east analyst and associate fellow at the defence and security think tank rusi, thank you for joining security think tank rusi, thank you forjoining us security think tank rusi, thank you for joining us this morning. there's a massive pro—palestine march in london today. there's a massive pro—palestine march in london today . according march in london today. according to the pa news agency, around 100 activists have gathered in london's bedford square. that's

in central london. there's going to be an even bigger march through town. there's a heavy police presence, the atmosphere apparently remains peaceful. but get this there are some activists holding lebanese and iranian flags, and a musician has been singing . palestine will has been singing. palestine will be free from the river to the sea, which some would suggest is anti—semitic, calling for the destruction of israel . those who destruction of israel. those who sing it say it doesn't mean that. but yeah , some activists that. but yeah, some activists in london today at this protest are holding lebanese and i guess even worse, iranian flags . even worse, iranian flags. hopefully we'll have some pictures of that as the day develops. >> i mean, you've been seeing those protests for months now, haven't we? >> does it shock you anymore? >> does it shock you anymore? >> does it shock you anymore? >> does it? >> does it? >> iranian flags. >> iranian flags. >> do we think that it would do anything help at all? i mean, must protest if there's something to protest about. i'm not against protest. >> well, i don't know what holding iranian flags achieves because iran is the colonel richard kemp, said earlier, the tentacles behind all these terrorist groups, the houthis, hezbollah, hamas , they are the

hezbollah, hamas, they are the ones funding these terrorist groups. so when you've got people in britain protesting in favour of iran , a national enemy favour of iran, a national enemy against us, who are happy to, i mean, the houthis bombed a with a drone, an air to surface missile drone just a few days ago. i think it was yesterday in the gulf of aden, a british registered oil tanker in the us has that, of course, fired back just last night, didn't they? >> they targeted some houthi capable military capabilities in yemen in sana'a. >> so who are these people? who are these people in london, in britain, holding iranian flags in this context? you know, they're funding terrorism. they're funding their killing. they're funding their killing. they want to kill us. they want to destroy the west. they want to destroy the west. they want to destroy the west. they want to destroy israel. who are these people? >> and then you've got joe biden, who's called for de—escalation. but how much influence does he have? >> probably not a lot. doesn't know what day of the week it is half the time. anyway, let's move on to the top stories of the day. we're delighted to be joined by author and broadcaster jenni trent hughes and former apprentice star trek. hello, good morning to you both. thank

you for returning so many good stories, doing the rounds today in the papers. what about gary lineker? so there was this, if you're not familiar at home, there was this leaked letter doing the rounds a few days ago, gary lineker's last show, apparently, according to bbc bosses, was meant to be tonight on the last episode of match of the day, they've neither confirmed or denied it, which leaves this big cloud of mystery. so trey will, if he does leave tonight, will it be a loss to match of the day? >> oh god, it will be a huge loss. he's been there for 25 years, right? i mean, a quarter of a century. seen this one face. i mean, don't quote me on that. i believe it is 25 years that. i believe it is 25 years that he's been at the helm, however long it's been, it's been a long time to the point that when i think match of the day, really when i think of great football commentary, i do think lineker, even though i mean, he was a spurs man for a while. and who do you support today? i'm a gooner. yes, through and through. >> good. >> good. >> good. >> good man. good. >> good man. good. >> that's what i like everywhere. >> i'm singled out and singled out on the sofa, a seat, a sofa full of arsenal fans. >> you support man united. united? >> you're a bit terrible at the moment, but i think it's. i

mean, why not just say if he's going to leave? leave? as far as i know, his contract goes up to the end of the 2025 season. right. so what's going on? why is all the mystery? why? apparently he was upset when it was brought up that it was leaked. et cetera. tell us if you're going to leave. leave because i'm going to be interested on who is actually going to fill those boots. >> do we think that it was sort of not a long time coming, but all the controversy and we were talking about israel and the middle east conflict, and he's weighed in on things such as that.is weighed in on things such as that. is this something that we saw being inevitable? >> jenny? i think so, because i think that he's become over the past couple of years , more past couple of years, more socially conscious, more politically active, and they keep trying to clip his wings. and at this stage , at this stage and at this stage, at this stage of the game, he doesn't need any more fame , probably doesn't more fame, probably doesn't particularly need much more money. and i think he just wants to be himself. he also might be tired of the bbc management. by now he was doorstepped by a daily mail reporter yesterday at his london home, and do you know

what he said? >> what did he say? he said, off. >> way to go . >> way to go. >> way to go. >> still and sweet. >> still and sweet. >> so the times reports this morning, the bbc, they've refused to disown the draft email announcing gary lineker's departure as claims grow. the beebisin departure as claims grow. the beeb is in witchhunt mode over the leak. so interesting you would have thought if it was rubbish they would have just said complete rubbish. don't know what you're talking about. the letter is fake but i guess we'll see tonight on match of the day we'll be saying goodbye. will there be? it'll be sad. >> it's probably. >> it's probably. >> it's probably also a bargaining ploy by one or the other side over contract negotiations to extend the contract . contract. >> maybe he was the leaker. >> maybe he was the leaker. >> yeah, right. >> maybe he was the leaker. >> yeah, right . intrigue, conspiracies. >> now, who do we think should replace him ? any any ideas? guys replace him? any any ideas? guys from football fans in the studio today. any what's going to be a genius wasn't. yeah. >> and without the controversy i probably would have said jermaine jenas i probably would have said because, you know, his football through and through. i think he's got a bit of charisma. >> i think you're going to need

charisma to, but you're going to need some level of gravitas. >> you don't think genius would have had the depth needed? >> he's 1212. plus if he's 12, >> he's1212. plus if he's12, i know i'm eight. i should be getting my winter fuel allowance at my age. >> he needs to have silver hair and be sexy, whoever it is. >> yeah, i mean, the other guy that does match of the day to mark chapman. yeah, i think he would be a safe pair of hands. >> he's the favourite to be lineker's replacement. i just think if you're going to tune in to match of the day, you're just there for the football. really. i don't care who presents it. you could get somebody on 100 k a year and save the licence fee payers. >> now don't you think it makes a difference though? >> who presents it? do you remember, like des lynam and people like. >> yeah, exactly. he was the best. it makes a difference when you've got somebody, you just think, yeah, you just know it's going to be worth watching. >> i'm swayed. >> i'm swayed. >> that was sometimes games are rubbish, but the you know, the host makes it interesting. yeah. >> my flimsy arguments come apart. >> i agree with that. >> i agree with that. >> favourite football analyst like thierry henry does a really good job. yeah, he does. he does a good job. >> micah richards is very good. yeah, he's very good. i listened

to him on the radio and he's really good. >> well, maybe we might have a female do that. >> i mean, you've got. is it gabby? gabby? >> yeah, yeah, there's a few. alex could be anyone. alex. >> exactly. >> exactly. >> would be really good. so the field is quite open. >> okay. shall we move on to the daily express? 1 in 4 pensioners over 80 are reportedly losing their winter fuel support due to labour's axing of the scheme. tray, you're quite passionate about this, aren't you ? about this, aren't you? >> i am, look i look after both. >> i am, look i look after both. >> my parents are in their 80s. who are not that well , and it who are not that well, and it might be a bit far fetched when i say it, but i think over 80 should be a protected species. i think the fact that they've given to their country for so long, if we've got money for wars, we must have money to look after our over 80s you know, i think whatever they want have it. it should be on an opt out basis. if they're wealthy enough, i think i don't need that £100 or £300 or whatever. it is. fine. but i think just the thought of anyone over 80 dying from a lack of heat, because that's the choice for a lot of people, is something that should not be tolerated at all.

whatever it costs, i think it costs what, 2 billion? is it not that much labour just costs what, 2 billion? is it not that much labourjust spent 22 that much labour just spent 22 billion on a carbon project . billion on a carbon project. yeah. so how can you not have 2 billion for, you know, and fuel pnces billion for, you know, and fuel prices have gone through the roof. most people can't afford it, jenny. >> well, i've said it on this program before, but they say that you can tell the worth of a country by how they treat their elderly. and i think that there are so many ways in which we really, really fall down. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> what do we think about the means testing to this? >> i don't agree . i think like >> i don't agree. i think like trey and i were talking earlier, give it to everybody. and then people have the decency to say, well actually i don't need it, you know, take it back. >> yeah. simple. >> yeah. simple. >> yeah. simple. >> yeah. it should be an opt out bafis >> yeah. it should be an opt out basis also just politically it's a bit i just find it bizarre. >> i mean, morally is one thing. but politically for labour the first couple of weeks to announce that policy, it just doesn't make sense. it's just not a very good political move. >> no, i don't know why they've done it. >> such a paltry amount, really, in the grand scheme of things,

doesit in the grand scheme of things, does it have anything to do with votes then? votes? well, i mean, the tory voters are, i guess, the tory voters are, i guess, the stereotype is they are elderly and. yeah, but i mean, but they've lost so much goodwill strategic, i suppose. i think storm babet goodwill will from even his own labour mp get no votes. >> he's going to he's going to be okay with something in the 80s sort of freezing during the winter. >> no one. well i just the thing that i wonder about is how long was this in the pipeline? because they didn't show up at westminster and go, i know what we'll do tomorrow. you know . so we'll do tomorrow. you know. so you know that people have been researching this planning and looking at the ins and outs of it for a very long time. i seem rather socialist, isn't it? >> rather than in their manifesto? as far as i'm aware. >> was it? no. no it wasn't. no. you go. >> no. a lot of things weren't in their manifesto and yet they're the good guys. apparently they're virtuous and yeah, saints of keir starmer or freegeek here, as you lovely viewers at home like to call him . viewers at home like to call him. anyway, thank you jenny. thank you troy, for joining us this morning. it's been a pleasure. yeah. thank you. still to come, we're going to be speaking to entrepreneur adam pope about his inspirational journey from living on the streets to running

by alcohol, by drugs. you nearly went to prison. how old were you when you were going through all this turmoil? >> so in my early 20s, it was a culmination of a lot of bad choices and misspent youth. and like you say, it nearly resulted in a couple of times me being sent to prison for not for anything major, major, but nevertheless, i could have easily spent some jail time and basically ruined my whole future . basically ruined my whole future. thankfully, i was able to pull myself out of that, and i lived to be able to tell the tale and achieve some things. as i've got older. >> so yeah, when you say misspent youth, what are you referring to? is it just the people around you? was it an upbringing situation? >> i come from a really good background, a really good family. i was like a one man gang. basically. i just saw my self—destruction path and just had these impulses to do certain things like fighting, joyriding , things like fighting, joyriding, that sort of thing. the thing that sort of thing. the thing that i nearly got sent to prison for in the end was driving while disqualified. not once , twice,

disqualified. not once, twice, but three times. so it took me three times to sort of learn my lesson . but yeah, thankfully, lesson. but yeah, thankfully, it's one of those things where you come to the brink, right? need to make the change. and i've never looked back from that point. >> and fast forward to today. ironically, you now run this massive law firm £5 million turnover. i mean, was it anything to do with your brush with the law and court appearances that inspired you to start a law firm eventually? >> absolutely. yeah. i've always known that i would run my own business one day. i've been fired from every job i've ever had, and i think that was a lot to do with i wanted to do things my way. i had my own ideas, so yeah, i've been able to channel all of those experiences growing up right through to present day. >> now, when you say you've redefined what it means to lead a law firm. yeah. what do you mean? >> so i effectively come from the streets. i've got the benefit of sort of being a street guy right the way through to being able to mix with people that are from educating backgrounds, wealthy backgrounds, wealthy backgrounds, and everybody in the middle . so we're very the middle. so we're very different as a firm. so how i

dress today is how we are as a firm . so i've closed some firm. so i've closed some multi—million pound transactions dressed very similar as i am, and so that's my brand. that's my firm's brand. we're disruptors. that's what we're often referred to as because we relate to people from middle of the road council estates often, which are the ones that have achieved the greatest things in business. so we give people a different choice than the typical pinstripe suit, bowler hat, lawyer . hat, lawyer. >> and do you also apply that philosophy to the briefs, the solicitors you hire? yeah, particularly look out for people who maybe haven't come from a traditional background . traditional background. >> absolutely. yeah. our culture is people that have come from down to earth, normal background. that's something that i look for specifically. i don't hire anybody else that doesn't fit that personality profile. >> you're quite an inspiration , >> you're quite an inspiration, ben.and >> you're quite an inspiration, ben. and what would you say ? ben. and what would you say? >> adam. >> adam. sorry, >> adam. sorry, adam. >> adam. sorry, adam. well, >> adam. sorry, adam. well, ben is as well, but you know. adam. sorry. you are an inspiration. and i think someone like yourself who, like you said, you come. you came from kind of a

troubled youth. not in terms of your family background, but in terms of the choices that you made. and i think often. and i've got friends who have told me the same thing, older friends who've said they were always judged in school by the choices they made, and they were told, you're never going to amount to anything. what would your kind of what would your words of wisdom be to? to young ones who are kind of a bit, maybe unruly like you were? yeah. so yeah, that doesn't have to define you. yeah, exactly. >> it's not about where you start. it's about where you finish. and i think i'm an example of and this is why i want to share my story, that you can turn it around . it's not too can turn it around. it's not too late to start. no matter what age you start. i started my business at age 35, which is not too young. it's not too old. it's kind of somewhere in the middle. and i just seized an opportunity that i came across at the time, and i've never looked back. basically. so i want to share my story that, you know, i've been through a lot of challenging times. i've been homeless for example, i spent six months on the streets couch surfing, staying with family wherever i would be put up basically right the way through

to some of the things that i've shared with you today and other things . so shared with you today and other things. so yeah, it's never shared with you today and other things . so yeah, it's never too things. so yeah, it's never too late to start. i think i want to be an example that no matter where you start from, you can still achieve things in life as long as you apply yourself. well, yeah . well, yeah. >> amazing. and adam works with boxers as well. yeah. you work with the likes of world champions like ebony bridges , champions like ebony bridges, olympians like chantelle cameron. so working with big names. >> yeah. and i guess adam, all it comes down to is just, are you going to choose to be a victim or not? are you going to be a victim of your circumstance or do you want to use it to inspire you to do better things? >> yeah, well, i think i'm an example of the exact opposite to that a few people have mentioned over the last few years. do you think you've got adhd? and if you just said that a few years ago, i said no. but the more i've looked into it and i think i've looked into it and i think i definitely have, i'm going through a diagnosis process at the moment. so again, i just the moment. so again, ijust want to be an example of people that may have adhd or do have adhd, that you can use it as a superpower as opposed to a thing that can hold you back or limit choices. >> good mentality. adam pope,

thank you for being with us. you're an inspiration. >> pleasure to meet. >> pleasure to meet. >> thanks very much. thank you very much. thank you. sam francis has all your news headlines. >> touch and go there. but i am definitely sam francis. ben got it wrong yesterday. nailed it. that time. let's start with the news from the middle east. and british nationals are still fleeing lebanon with the fourth and now final evacuation flights set for sunday as the conflict conflict there intensifies. over 250 people have already returned to the uk on government chartered planes, but foreign secretary david lammy is warning others to register now as future flights he says, aren't guaranteed. well, it comes as israel ramps up airstrikes hitting beirut and hezbollah targets. you can see there on your screen smoke hanging in the air above beirut's skyline as those strikes continue. meanwhile , hezbollah has meanwhile, hezbollah has responded by launching 100 rockets into israeli territory.

>> run runs. not for me. >> no , no, it's not for me >> no, no, it's not for me ehhen >> no, no, it's not for me either. i'm too glad. i'm sorry. all right, well, some good news. yes. >> taylor swift. >> taylor swift. >> taylor swift. you >> taylor swift. you know, >> taylor swift. you know, she's made about almost $1 billion from her eras tour, but she's not someone who likes to hoard money. she's been giving back to charities. and while she was in the uk, it just came out that she donated to a charity called trussell's. and she donated a generous amount of money that they've been able to feed 925 people with emergency food parcels. so that is just staggering. she didn't need to do that. but it goes to show, if you share your money, it can go a very long way. and taylor swift likes doing that. she likes any any city she goes to. she likes making donations to food banks. she made one in liverpool, cardiff and london. but now obviously they've come out and said that because of what she's done, she's fed lots of people. >> do you know how much she's given or did she just say, did they? >> they never. they they never revealed the amount. but she managed to feed 925 people. and thatis managed to feed 925 people. and that is just amazing. i don't

even think our government's doing that at the moment. for people who are facing poverty. so good on taylor swift. >> well done taylor. i'm not a swiftie. i never will be, but i will congratulate you will one day. >> it's my aim. >> it's my aim. >> ben naomi campbell what? >> ben naomi campbell what? >> naomi campbell naomi is the opposite from taylor now. she had a charity called fashion for relief last week. the charity commission has banned her from five years for five years for being a charity trustee. after it came out that she was mismanaging funds. and now she's come out and she said she has messed up as a trustee. you know , messed up as a trustee. you know, overits messed up as a trustee. you know, over its nine year period, it messed up £4.8 million and only 10% of that went to charities. so hang on a minute. >> they received nearly £5 million in donations and only 10%. >> ben only went to charities. >> ben only went to charities. >> so this go on went on luxury spa expenses. >> all the rest . but naomi has >> all the rest. but naomi has come out and she said she did not. she wasn't guilty of any financial misconduct. obviously

the charity commission feel otherwise , but she's been banned otherwise, but she's been banned for five years and there is a lot of questions. she owns a lot of people, including the save the children, the mayor for london's fund . she said that she london's fund. she said that she had worked with unicef on one of the charity balls that she had , the charity balls that she had, and that was found to be incorrect. so naomi campbell has beenin incorrect. so naomi campbell has been in the hot water here. i think the public in general, they're very sceptical about donating to celebrities and their charities. but unfortunately for naomi, she hasn't won the trust of the pubuc hasn't won the trust of the public and charities in general. >> i reckon over i'd say five years they've taken a real there's been so many stories i remember doing stories about. i won't name them, but certain charities squandering funds and it makes you wonder £5 million and only 10% is going to the causes that people think they're donating. >> well, that's the problem. and you think to yourself, well, i've interviewed naomi many times, love her. but i just think, you know, for someone who's financially wealthy like naomi campbell, it doesn't make sense not to be given the money

to where it's owned. but you know, in her defence, she says, you know, she wasn't the best trustee. maybe she wasn't aware of the day to day operations, what's going on. but the charity commission had been investigating this for the past two years. so clearly they have a case against her. >> steph, thank you very much. thank you. naomi campbell has said roughly in a statement that she wasn't actively engaged in the charity's day to day operations, but she's never engagedin operations, but she's never engaged in any form of financial misconduct. so there we go. >> still to come, we'll be joined in the studio by love is blind stars kat richards and jake singleton hill. >> stay with

right. >> welcome back to saturday morning live. and now we have a couple who both tried to find love in quite an unconventional way, a blind way you might say. >> there you are. catherine richards and jake singleton hill

featured on the reality show love is blind. and it's a massive show, actually, a hit show. i often catch my wife watching it. i come in and i'm like, oh, what's this? very interesting. >> i absolutely loved it. i cried at the end, i won't give, i won't give it away for those who haven't seen it. but whilst they didn't find love on the show, or maybe they did, in the end they didn't. catherine later sent jake a message and the rest is history. well, catherine and jake are joining us now in the studio for saturday morning live. thank you very much for joining us. and this is perhaps not the end result that people might have thought that they'd be seeing at this point, because you're both on the show , but you you're both on the show, but you didn't fall in love in the pods, didn't fall in love in the pods, did you? >> no. we didn't. i rejected him very early . we had eight. we had very early. we had eight. we had eight minutes. >> we had eight minutes. i was like, no, he's like, jake was my last date of the day. so 15 guys, 15 girls. and we both dated each other. by the end, we were both like robots. i was like, my name is cat da da da. and he was like, yeah, my name is jake. and he was like, yeah, my name isjake. i share a dog with

and he was like, yeah, my name is jake. i share a dog with my ex. i was like, yeah, bye. and that was literally where it finished. yeah, we were shattered. >> steph, you're here with us because we're a mega fan. >> i literally i binge watched that whole series. you were like one of my favourite characters and just seeing i'm surprised about this because obviously we thought it was you and freddie that was going to be the match made in heaven. >> like, i don't know, i think people think freddie is hiding in our closet or something, like, he's going to appear one day. no, no, no, he definitely won't, i can tell you that. >> i was surprised, though, because. and it's nice that you guys look great together. yeah, very happy as well. >> people say i look like freddie, but . freddie, but. >> yeah. no . >> yeah. no. >> yeah. no. >> you've got a type. >> you've got a type. >> no i don't. >> no i don't. >> on the show, it seemed like you guys were really strong, and it almost seemed like freddie after he admitted to you that he'd cheated in the past. yeah. were done. yeah, it kind of felt like he was. did some making up. and then the roles changed at some point. >> yeah. so with the whole freddie cheating thing, i

actually respected the fact that he told me up front and i didn't even want to have that conversation. obviously, that was a conversation that we got told to talk about, and i respected his decision. but i think he felt that i was holding this grudge towards him that she really doesn't like and which was not. and he knew this because off camera, we had many conversations where i was like , conversations where i was like, thank you for owning up. like, we can just move on from this, but if anything, i think he just felt guilty the whole entire time. and he put that on me, which is fine. but yeah, there's obviously a lot that people don't see. >> but fans felt devastated for you because, you know, you guys on your wedding day, he did you know, he rejected you in that sense. >> yeah he did. it was tough because i've watched the show and i've seen the stuff that he said off air in our interviews, and i was like , oh, he said and i was like, oh, he said that, you know, he wanted to. he could see me as his potential wife. so obviously when he said, no, i was a bit like, oh, like at the time. >> so for viewers who don't know, love is blind is where you go and seek love and romance, but you don't see who you're speaking to, right? no, jake.

why did you go on the show? i mean, what was your love journey before that? why did you eventually end up going on as i run it? >> so my parents actually met in a very similar way. so my, my stepdad was texting my mum. he'd basically stolen the number off of a friend because the friend had met my mum in blackpool and they were texting for like six months. they'd never met. so that premise of how they got together and the marriage that they had was stunning. and to build a relationship not based on looks . before you met, build a relationship not based on looks. before you met, i just found that just incredible. >> so do you believe in that concept in is it lust or love at first sight? >> it's weird. it's a bit of both, i think. yeah, it's definitely a bit of both. i do think in a relationship you do, there is some sort of you need attraction, right? you do chemistry, but personality is massive. and i think if you love someone's personality, you will love them for them. and i would say as you get older, your looks will change, but your personality will stay the same. so i do love the whole experiment and it has worked for some couples, as we do know. but

yeah, when you've got thousands of camera crew, it's hard. >> did you have a good overall experience on the show? would you recommend other people going on it as well? >> i recommend it if you're thick skin and if you know there's going to be bumps and it is broadcasted like worldwide on netflix. so yeah, you've got to be a certain thank you . be a certain thank you. >> it teaches you a lot about yourself. >> how has the public's reaction been to you, catherine? because, you know, i did. >> sorry to interject. we're fast out of time. we will come crashing out there. thank you. jake and catherine. really appreciate it. >> congratulations. thank you. >> congratulations. thank you. >> thank you at home forjoining >> thank you at home for joining us on saturday morning live. dawn neesom is next. we'll catch you at the same time next week. bye . bye. >> heavy showers. first thing will be followed by a warm, cosy day . boxt will be followed by a warm, cosy day. boxt boilers will be followed by a warm, cosy day . boxt boilers sponsors of day. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. >> good afternoon and welcome to your gb news weather update from the met office. looking ahead
