prayer service. after his inauguration yesterday, the new president signed a range of executive orders to pull the us out of the world health organisation and declared a national emergency at the southern border. he also pardoned nearly 1600 people tied to the january 6th capitol riots, with some expected to walk free within hours. in his speech, trump promised to be a peacemaker and a unifier, declaring the golden age of america begins right now. in other news, a 36 year old man and a six year old girl have been found dead inside a house in scotland. police said officers made the discovery following a report of concern for a person in harborne drive, west calder, at about 4 pm. yesterday. the force said the deaths are being treated as unexplained and post—mortem examinations will take place in due course. now at least 66 people have been killed in a fire that engulfed a popular

trying to watch the ceremony. i'm absolutely shattered tonight. what about you lot? there's so much we need to discuss. the show does indeed go on, and you can join the conversation all the usual ways. you can email me gb views @gbnews. com is the email address. you can go to the website gbnews.com/yoursay. or of course you can tweet or you can text me. whatever we call it these days, wherever you're watching or listening, you're very, very welcome to the show tonight. now we need to start on very important matters. that, of course, started to unfold yesterday and was somewhat overshadowed by the inauguration and so on and so forth. i speak, of course, about that horrendous, horrendous situation overin horrendous, horrendous situation over in southport. well, at 830 this morning the prime minister addressed the nation. let's listen to some of what he had to say. are not just my choices though. it is a choice i would make. it is also the law of the land. that is why i could not disclose the details. it is why others couldn't disclose the

details. it is why all of you, as journalists could not disclose the details, because the same laws apply to you, just as they applied to me. and it's really important that we make that clear. but the purpose of the rule is to protect the justice that the families and the victims are entitled to. >> let me cross live to our gb news homeland security editor mark white. it's been quite a day for announcements. you've had keir starmer, you've had yvette cooper. for anyone that hasn't been following the goings on, bring us up to speed, mark, if you will. >> well, what we got effectively today was confirmation that the prime minister and yvette , the prime minister and yvette, the authorities, knew a lot more about axel rudakubana than the pubuc about axel rudakubana than the public were told at the time. now, understandably, the public won't be told and shouldn't be told everything about a case, but there was a perception amongst many people that in the

wider community that they weren't being told some key facts in this case now that fuelled in particular the internet rumours that were swirling around the internet, the conspiracy theories compounded the sense of anger and accusations of a cover up. but now, all these months later, with axel rudakubana having pleaded guilty to the 16 offences that he faced, the prime minister has said yes. there were key factors that he was aware of right from the outset, but he had good reason. the home secretary had good reason. other other members of the police, the crown prosecution service, had good reason not to tell the public. and that was because, as you heard from the clip, there it is the law of the land, the contempt of court act 1981. however, others that cover these criminal cases day in and day

out in the courts, as i've done for many years, think that actually what's been happening is an ever tightening noose from the crown prosecution service. in what can be said prior to a trial, there is often information and often actually quite significant information that comes out prior to a trial. a judge will always tell the jury a judge will always tell the jury at the start of a trial to only judge the case on the facts before them, to forget what they may have heard in the media, or read elsewhere about a case previously. and just to actually reiterate the contempt of court act 1981 and what it says, it says that there has to be substantial risk that the course of justice will be seriously impeded or prejudiced, prejudiced. and i think in policing circles, in particular, merseyside police had information that they wanted to get 1506 00:10:00,032
