the pope is slightly improving in health. it says the pontiff has no respiratory crisis today but that the prognosis remains guarded. this morning, the vatican issued a short statement saying the pontiff was resting in hospital and the night went well. the updates on his health follow a statement yesterday in which the vatican said the pontiff was in a critical condition and was showing an initial mild kidney problem. the 88 year old has been in rome's gemelli hospital since the 14th of february, and is being treated for double pneumonia and chronic bronchitis. nigel farage has hit out at sir keir starmer, saying labour is getting desperate. that's after the prime minister accused the reform uk leader of perpetuating what he is calling the dangerous right wing politics. in a major speech at a labour conference in glasgow. the prime minister condemned reform's, quote, dangerous policies and criticised mr farage over his party's employment rights and potential nhs charges.

>> a dangerous right wing politics, even here in scotland, that will say they are the ones who can tilt politics towards the interests of working people. they claim to be the party of patriotism, but their fawning over putin. no, they are not the answer for working people in britain. >> and finally, a man who shot dead his mother and two siblings in luton last year was also planning to commit a mass shooting at a local school. 19 year old nicholas prosper appeared in court over the deaths of 48 year old juliana falcon, 13 year old gisele prosper and karl prosper, who was 16. he also admitted a number of other offences, including purchasing a shotgun without a certificate, possession of a shotgun with intent to endanger life, and possession of a kitchen knife in a public place. he'll be sentenced on the 5th of march. and those are the latest gb news headunes and those are the latest gb news headlines for now. more news from me in an hour.

website gbnews.com/yoursay. of course you can tweet or x me. don't forget you can listen to me on the radio as well. what a treat for you. now as i sit here in my very comfortable chair, behind my very comfortable desk, and you lot probably sit in your cars or on your surface, one mp sitting mp is sitting behind bars. i mean, even that sentence to say this just highlights the ridiculousness sometimes of the state of politics in this country. i'm talking, of course, about the former labour mp, mike amesbury. you've just been heanng amesbury. you've just been hearing that story in the headlines. i'm sure you all have been familiar with it. he basically lamped a constituent of his early hours of the morning and a bit of a drunken attack. he's been sentenced to ten weeks in prison. absolutely astonishing. if you've been under a rock. this is the clip of where it all happened. but you've probably seen this a hundred times already. it blows my mind. barry gardiner, that this guy hasn't already resigned. he pled guilty, so he's accepted that he did this. this was a member of his area.

he was paid to represent him. in fact, actually, this guy was probably a taxpayer paying the mps wages. why has it not gone already? >> punching somebody is no way to resolve an argument. and it doesn't matter whether you're drunk or whether you're sober. it's not the way to behave. and you say he should resign. i think that's right. i think in any case, what is going to happenis any case, what is going to happen is that there will probably be a recall, and so it will be forced into a by—election. so it would make sense, i think, for him now to do the honourable thing. let me say this though, mps do come under a huge amount of pressure. as you know, it's not always. polite disagreement that, you know, rupert and i can have around this table. sometimes it's vicious, sometimes it's very personal. and i think here was somebody who was already

under considerable stress, and he responded in a totally inappropriate way. that's all i'll say. i don't excuse what he did, but i do understand how sometimes pressure mixed with alcohol is a very bad combination. >> well, i would say if you're under pressure and you're struggling with your emotions and everyone's been there, you know, we're not a panel of saints, ladies and gents, let's be honest. but if you're under pressure and you're a paid pubuc pressure and you're a paid public servant, i would argue you probably shouldn't be out until the early hours of the morning getting so drunk that actually you feel impassioned to punch a guy that's got his hands in his pockets. anyway. rupert. your thoughts? >> well, i agree with barry. i think he should do the honourable thing and resign. michel, i think to be hitting one of your constituents, as you say, barry. i mean, yes, we're in pressured jobs, but hitting somebody when you're probably you've had a few too many is inexcusable. and i think if he if he was an honourable man, he would resign. but i think let's juxtapose that and his sentence

against people who've tweeted on social media about the southport killings and have ended up in prison for two and a half years. i mean, where 150
