taking part in this, britain not taking part in this, also european countries should end this aspect of the eu. i don't think the eu should have any role in security policy whatsoever. it duplicates nato, it undermines nato. you have the confusing situation that neutral countries like ireland, but also austria are involved in the eu, but not not in nato. also, the eu has no credibility, no credibility whatsoever when it comes to foreign policy, which is of course closely linked to defence only this week, xavier bettel, who's the foreign minister of, of luxembourg, the former prime minister, he said that nobody really cares about the opinion of the eu when it comes to the middle east. so i think that should tell you everything you need to know. >> and yet , peter, isn't this >> and yet, peter, isn't this all a consequence or perhaps has been exacerbated by the american stance towards nato? you've got in donald trump, a potential

president who's very ambiguous towards the doctrine of collective defence. isn't it inevitable? inevitable if america is not going to live up to its nato treaty obligations, or at least is being equivocal about that, isn't it inevitable that the eu will try and duplicate it, replicate it? >> well, i think opinions are divided about that subject. i believe that trump does support nato, but that he wants all nato member states to take their responsibilities seriously. and i think he's absolutely right in this, and he's not different in his opinions. to previous american presidents. so indeed, if a european countries don't take nato serious at one point, the united states or trumpists over there may well say, well, you have your european army now, so i think you can do without

this. and that would, of course, be terrible for the security of europe. >> well, thank you very much indeed for your time, peter cleppe, editor in chief of the brussels report. thank you. i don't think, you know, the eu would want to get their hands dirty when it comes to things. i think, you know, peacekeeping missions, one thing, but actually, you know, full on military expeditions. i don't think so. >> well, i think it's also just a recipe there to sort of break up the world. i mean, the eu likes to talk about internationalism and unity and all the rest of it, but actually all the rest of it, but actually all it is casting the americans adrift, being much more insular as a european continent. and losing our friends, well, our aukus friends, for example , aukus friends, for example, australia, canada, the united states of america. >> yeah, little europeans. anyway, up next we tackle the ongoing outrage at the criminal justice system because 30 known have managed to avoid serving prison time in just the last two weeks. that's your news headunes weeks. that's your news headlines with tatiana .

headlines with tatiana. >> emily, thank you very much. the top stories, the prime minister and the health secretary have said new weight loss jabs could help boost the economy in britain by getting people back into work. wes streeting suggested the latest generation of medicines, including ozempic, could be life changing for individuals and would ease pressure on the nhs. experts have warned in the past that the drug is not a quick fix or a replacement for eating well and exercising, and should only be offered under medical supervision. members of the pubucin supervision. members of the public in nottingham have spoken to gb news about their mixed opinions on weight loss jabs. >> i don't think it's fair. no, i think it's the money could be spent better elsewhere. i think it's a bit insulting and also i don't think it's a good idea. you need to lose it naturally, do some exercise. it saves on the money that we spend out for health and everything. so yeah, i think it's a very good idea.

mixed feelings. i think if it's going to save a life, then yes, it's worth it. if it's going to save gp time, nurses time, yes , save gp time, nurses time, yes, it's worth it. but if it's not, education is still the best thing . thing. >> the government is unlikely to back plans aimed at stopping children from overusing their mobile phones in school, as number 10 has signalled that headteachers can already ban phones from schools at their own discretion. labour mp josh mcallister is expected to introduce a private member's bill in parliament tomorrow, aimed at protecting children from harms caused by excessive screen time. according to mcallister, the equivalent of seat belt legislation is needed to help them manage addictive content for children. he says children who are doom scrolling for hours a day on smartphones are at risk of widespread harm. now, the bill will also call for the age at which companies can get data consent from children without parental permission to be raised from 13 to 16. and the
