6:06 am
ongoing war with russia. hosted by uk prime minister sir keir starmer, he welcomed world leaders, including president zelenskyy, to london�*s historic lancaster house for talks to develop a plan to secure peace for ukraine. >> we�*ve agreed that the uk, france and others will work with ukraine on a plan to stop the fighting. then we'll discuss that plan with the united states and take it forward together. >> during the summit, leaders from across europe consolidated months of talks, creating a new coalition of the willing to defend ukraine and guarantee peace as they agreed to a new plan of action. >> first, we will keep the military aid flowing and keep increasing the economic pressure on russia to strengthen ukraine now. second, we agreed that any lasting peace must ensure ukraine's sovereignty and security. third, in the event of a peace deal, we will keep boosting ukraine's own defensive
6:07 am
capabilities to deter any future invasion. the uk is prepared to back this with boots on the ground and planes in the air, together with others. europe must do the heavy lifting, but to support peace in our continent and to succeed, this effort must have strong us backing. >> the question now is will europe be able to go it alone without the support of the united states and president trump? sophia archewell gb news. >> the shut in in my ear. oscar. next i'm thinking. have we talked about the oscars? then i realised it's oscar red drop. i�*m talking about the man with the name. right. today, political commentator oscar red drop and keir starmer is he's got this. he's owning this isn't he. >> he is owning this. i mean domestically keir starmer has had a really, really
6:08 am
unimpressive start. i would say as prime minister, i don't think he's got a lot of friends in the uk domestically on on the issues of the day. however, and it reminded me a little bit of when i worked with boris. similarly to boris, he has led from the front on this. in the last week, i�*m not saying i�*ll support for i�*m not saying i'll support for ukraine or how we put it on the agenda kind of waned at all, but it did feel like it did a little bit over the last couple of years since boris left, in my humble opinion. but starmer has firmly, firmly put the uk front and centre of this, and it's been really diplomatically challenging. if you think how well relatively that visit over to with trump went and then having to handle almost the fallout of that of zelenskyy's meeting the very next day over the weekend here in the uk. he's riding two very challenging horses, a temperamental trump that we can�*t. i know people want to go, oh, trump's this, trump's this and kind of turn trump�*s this and kind of turn our noses up at him and kind of,
6:09 am
you know, berate him for how he treated zelenskyy, let's say the other week. but that's not sensible. it's not pragmatic. the uk needs the us. 50 that's one horse that he's riding very well, starmer. but he is also, you know, cementing our place in a absolutely i think morally on the right side of this conflict. and just lastly on that, you know, and we ask the question, oh you know will this, you know, how do we ride those two horses? will it, you know, as we solidify with nations like france over ukraine, you know, how does that that's completely in trump's interests. that's what trump wants. that�*s what�*s quite clever about what starmer is doing. >> i say to you, i don't think starmer is doing anything unless he runs it past trump. >> absolutely right. >> absolutely right. >> really. i think everybody. >> really. i think everybody. >> says no, no. >> says no, no. >> no. >> no. >> no, no, no. >> no, no, no. >> i�*m thinking i�*m thinking >> i'm thinking i'm thinking he's called. listen, donald, i�*ll sue this over for you. fall out with i�*ll sue this over for you. fall outwith zelenskyy. that�*s okay. out with zelenskyy. that's okay. i�*ll get him onside. i'll look as if i'm the tough guy. i'll be as if i�*m the tough guy. i'll be the middle man between you and him. >> there is. it would be
6:10 am
completely counterproductive. and, you know, diplomatically insane for us to, you know, extend an invite to the king and do all that sweet talking and have a really productive meeting with trump for only two days later to work completely in conflict with trump's probably interests at this point in terms of the conflict. but it is but it is very, very it�*s a very, it is very, very it's a very, very narrow corridor that we�*re very narrow corridor that we're having to walk down to keep those two horses happy. but i have to say, i think, i think at this moment in time there's a lot of questions to ask. you know, what does a, you know, a coalition, a willing coalition look like? what does that actually mean practically? there'll be people watching this program who, despite the amazing generosity of spirit that brits have and we have done, you know, for hundreds of years, you know, particularly we look at the world wars that we've had in europe. but they will be thinking, what does this mean for domestic issues that actually are in my face every single day? bills heating, you know, immigration, the economy,
6:11 am
you know. and whilst i think most people would look at starmer and how we're doing on starmer and how we�*re doing on the global stage this week and think brilliant stuff, those domestic issues that are nowhere to be seen in the newspapers. i think that's something to be cautious of as well. >> not to mention that generosity of spirit, because i was struck by that actually, this weekend there was the people at 10 downing street who were cheering for zelenskyy as he spoke to sir keir starmer. and apparently that was just random. that was just people that stood outside. >> zelenskyy was welling up. >> zelenskyy was welling up. >> yeah, he was welling up. yes. and then at sandringham yesterday when he went to meet the king, locals had appeared with the ukrainian flags. we do have a very churchillian response to, to war, it seems, in this country. >> absolutely. so that's the kind of the emotion here that we need to remember morally. there is only one side to be on with this conflict. and brits, you know, the majority of brits know that. but pragmatically, and this is what eamonn's kind of hinting at. you know, you've seen peter mandelson, our ambassador over in the us, saying sign the peace deal, go over there. you know, the
6:12 am
critical minerals deal. you know, think very carefully about that zelenskyy get that signed. think pragmatically because in terms of a resolution to this war there at the moment, in this at this moment in time, there is only one show in town. and like him or loathe him, trump holds a lot of power and domination and cards on this. and so. >> what he's also got he�*s >> what he's also got he's getting a lot of money back. the one thing i don't like, though, one thing i don�*t like, though, apparently is pretty standard in warfare, is that he gets recompense for providing arms and munitions. right. so the question we're asking today, do you agree with the prime minister's pledge to give 1.6 minister�*s pledge to give 1.6 billion in defence aid to ukraine, 1.6 billion from this country in defence aid to ukraine? have you say that is our poll of the day now, when it comes to cash, when it comes to money going to ukraine and not money, going to ukraine and not going to certain things in the uk, i wonder, do people waver on
6:13 am
that oscar? >> it's really, really tough. >> it�*s really, really tough. i think they have to think really, really carefully about it. i think they have to think imaginatively in terms of how we fund this, because ultimately the selling technique, if you, if you like, that starmer has to make is that defending ukraine and ensuring that russia cannot invade a sovereign european country again is entirely within the british interests in terms of here on our continent. and the threat that an emboldened putin would, would, would, would cause a country like the uk. and in terms of how you fund that, because defence spending is going to have to come up yet again, that will terrify people watching this. in a way. >> trump's getting his money back, right. he's going to get back, right. he�*s going to get his money back. why aren't we asking for the same? and what would the reaction be if we did ask for the same? and i raise this because the second world war, everybody talks about the america coming, usa coming to britain's aid. we only stopped paying off the loan for what we
6:14 am
got in the second world war about six years ago. >> but i mean, what is the price and what is the cost of ultimately without being too grand about it? freedom. and we have to be seen and it's entirely in our interests, as i said, to defend that here on our continent. trump probably is, i think. and they've hinted at this, actually the white house over the weekend, they�*re getting pretty bored of this. this is far more distant to them. and so someone like trump, this is probably just a, you this is probablyjust a, you know, how can i get some money out of this? how can i how can i do a deal? and we need to see that as actually we need to kind of play into that a little bit and understand the pragmatism that needs to be involved in that. but for us here, it's something different. this is on our continent. zelenskyy sorry, not zelenskyy putin is a tyrant. and who are we as a country if we don't stand up and be counted? >> well, those are the questions. do you have the answers? how do you say this morning and let us know.
6:15 am
>> what you think. on that {1.6 >> what you think. on that £1.6 billion deal, the government is saying that this is going to boost uk jobs and uk growth, because it is belfast that is going to be producing these missiles that we are talking about. so they�*re saying this is about. so they're saying this is all about british growth, british jobs. let us know what you think on that one. >> gbnews.com/yoursay with no shortage of bombs in belfast you can plenty there to go around, plenty to trade and wheel and deal and the academy awards. let's talk about those where they bombshell last night or not and the honora alex what is the film honora is it a is it a comedy? is it a serious one? how would you. >> it's a serious one about an escort who falls in love with the son of a russian oligarch, and they get married on a whim. and the story is basically about his parents flying over to new york to try and get the marriage annulled. but it delves into the complexities of the treatment of sex workers and things like that. but that won five awards
6:16 am
last night. that was that was the biggest winner of the night. i think we can actually. >> see the film's lead and i don't know if there's a man or don�*t know if there's a man or woman isn't. mikey. >> this is mikey madison. she's the young actress. >> she�*s a young actress. >> she�*s a young actress. >> she�*s a young actress. >> she�*s she�*s brilliant in it. she's brilliant. she�*s brilliant. >> brilliant. and here she is. >> brilliant. and here she is. >> wow. this is very surreal. forgive me, i i'm nervous. i'm going to read off of a paper. but thank you so much to the academy. i, i grew up in los angeles, but hollywood always felt so far away from me. so to be here, standing in this room today is really incredible. >> yeah. 50 mikey madison there, >> yeah. so mikey madison there, winning best actress, which like the baftas, she won it then as well. and it was a bit of a surprise because everybody sort of tipped demi moore to get it again for the substance a lot of people would have. she was odds on to with the bookmakers as well, but mikey madison just
6:17 am
keeps proving everybody wrong and honora proved a lot of people wrong last night. sweeping up across the board. it was best picture, best editing, best actress, best director, best actress, best director, best original screenplay. i think we can hear from the director from the best picture speech. >> thank you guys so much. thank you to the academy. we made this movie for $6 million, shooting on location in new york city with about 40 crew members. they�*re all back in new york. this is for you guys. thank you so much. we made this movie independently. if you�*re trying to make independent films, please keep doing it. we need more. this is proof. >> they make it for about £4 million. does it look like that? >> no, i wouldn't say so. i think you don't look at it and think you don't look at it and think it�*s cheap. but you know, i mean, it's sort of irrelevant. they, they really laud the fact it's a small independent film. when you look at something like a complete unknown, which is the timothee chalamet bob dylan biopic that was about 65 to 80
6:18 am
million, the budget for that. and it won nothing. oh it won nothing last night. so you know it goes to prove that they can really stretch that money. and with a with upcoming talent like mikey madison leading the way winning award after award, maybe itjust goes winning award after award, maybe it just goes to show that you don't need to spend the big don�*t need to spend the big bucks nowadays to get the awards glory. >> adrien brody did well, didn't he? >> adrien brody did well. he won best actor. he beat rafe in the category, which i was a bit disappointed about because i did quite enjoy conclave. he did cause a bit of controversy though, because even though everybody, you know, they�*re on strict time limits with their speeches, adrien brody wasn't going to play along with that. and i think we can see. >> please, i'm wrapping up. i will wrap up. please turn the music off. i've done this before. thank you, thank you. it's not my first rodeo, but i will. i will be brief. i will not be egregious, i promise. i pray for a healthier and a happier and a more inclusive world. and i believe if the past can teach us anything, it's a
6:19 am
reminder to not let hate go unchecked. >> so adrien brody winning there for the brutalist? yeah, the reason why that's caused controversy. a lot of people think it's kind of entitled, think it�*s kind of entitled, sort of, you know, self—aggrandising to just say, no, i'm going to keep speaking. he spoke for about five minutes. most of them get about, i know, but this was after about three hours. oh, it felt like it was another three hours. but, you know, it seems a bit disrespectful to the people who have also won awards but have to be rushed off stage. but, you know, like you said, some people might think, do you know what? fair play to him for not bowing down to the producer's orders. >> okay, well, i'll tell you >> okay, well, i�*ll tell you what, alex. there's a brief taster of who won what and what it's going, and you're going to be back again very shortly, and you'll bring us up to date with everything else that happened and who was on that red carpet and who was on that red carpet and whatever. whatever. thank you very much indeed, alex. >> thank you. now, 6:19, let's take a look at some other stories coming into the newsroom this morning. >> yesterday saw the highest
6:20 am

reckon, guys, you reckon the women are there and they all look thin because they're all on this ozempic or most of them are. or a lot of them are. >> well, we were having this conversation outside about how women pulling other women apart is not a very good look. however, having said that, we are human and we all looked at the pictures and go, oh my god, all of these women really are on weight loss drugs when they clearly do not need to be on weight loss drugs. well, we don't know for sure. i mean, that's what they look like. >> there is a sort of an ozempic face that actually shows in their face more than it actually shows. that they go for the kind of, you know, the slimmer hips. and i�*m afraid it does show in. and i'm afraid it does show in. >> yeah, it's not a good look. it's not healthy, is it? >> it is interesting, though, that a lot of them just don�*t. they look different photograph to photograph now either. it's all touched up. there was somebody we were looking at. they�*re not named people but you know look she looked beautiful in this picture. and then there's another picture and she just looks quite scary. >> well these are already thin women, aren�*t they?
6:36 am
>> they don't need. >> they don't need. >> they don't need. >> the sort of weight loss drugs, but it is obviously doing the rounds in hollywood. they�*re all on it. >> and it�*s very easy to get. i mean, that's the problem. mean, that�*s the problem. >> it's the combination, i think, of the severe weight loss and then you pump the fillers in, i think, to cheeks and lips and, and itjust and that's what distorts and that can come and go. so you see different. there is differences. >> however there�*s some amazing acting talent there. i have got no idea of who won anything. and i if i knew the names i wouldn't know who the people are. >> nora was the big win. >> nora was the big win. >> no, no. here is the point. you don't know anybody. i look at it. it�*s not like the 70s and the 805 where you look and you say, well, there�*s an obvious film star there. they. they look in the act. they�*re here today. they�*re gone tomorrow. >> i nora, i mean, i it's meant to be. i have no idea. >> has anyone seen it. >> has anyone seen it. >> no. >> no. >> never seen it. let us know. gbnews.com do. >> have to break through. i mean, adrien brody was demi moore was up for. she didn't win it, but she was. there were people there. whether they want it or not was another thing. i mean, i heard you talking before about you wanted to kind of like
6:37 am
an adventure. an action adventure. >> i�*m not going to go and see >> i'm not going to go and see brody's film. no, that'll brody�*s film. no, that'll depress me. >> right? i mean, presumably wicked isn't your bag either. >> absolutely not. >> absolutely not. >> but it is. >> but it is. >> you know me so well. >> you know me so well. >> but that is. i�*ve got >> but that is. i've got something lined up for you later on as well. but that escapist kind of stuff that is wicked. yes. 50 there is, there is light yes. so there is, there is light and shade there, whether you like it or not. >> action films very rarely win. i mean, who ever thought, right? >> not worthy. >> not worthy. >> yeah, let's let's sit around >> yeah, let's let�*s sit around and have a film about, oh, the pope and about architecture. yeah, yeah. and i must can�*t see those two. they sound like a real humdinger. >> never the popular one, is it? it's never the one. that�*s. >> it's never the. >> it�*s never the. >> it�*s never the. >> john williams. >> john williams. >> of this. >> of this. >> but that's. >> but that's. >> true in. >> true in. >> all culture. if you look at comedies are never as well regarded as things where people die and kill themselves and have a mental breakdown. >> music, isn't it? >> music, isn't it? >> music, isn't it? >> music that is dirgey and worthy is always regarded more than something that is happy. and actually the harder thing to do is to make people laugh, or to write something uplifting, or to write something uplifting, or to leave somebody with a kind of comedy kind of feel. those are
6:38 am
actually things that are harder to do, but they're never as well regarded as things that depress people. >> i�*m going to say something >> i'm going to say something controversial now. >> oh. are you. >> oh. are you. >> oh, good. i�*ve never. >> oh, good. i�*ve never. >> known you. >> known you. >> your husband is an all time hero of mine, right? absolutely. entertainment. musically, there's nothing he's going to do that�*s going to annoy me right. that's going to annoy me right. >> at all. >> at all. >> i wish i could say the same. >> i wish i could say the same. >> well. >> well. >> no, no, no offence. >> no, no, no offence. >> but would. >> but would. >> he have been relatively starved? i don't know, don't know the answer to this. >> go on off big. >> go on off big. >> awards, music recognition. >> awards, music recognition. >> so you're talking about noddy holder of slade. for anyone who doesn't know who i'm married to. and no, i think i think he would say that. i mean, i�*ve known him say that. i mean, i've known him win songwriting awards, and i think he's got an ivor novello think he�*s got an ivor novello and they want they were they opened the first brits ever and played there. i don't know that he would say he was starved of awards. i would i would agree with you. i think there are more awards they should have won and could have won. and i think now they're lumped into the whole glam rock thing, when actually they were a fantastic live rock and roll band that had a huge body of work. and obviously they're only known for the one
6:39 am
song. but yeah, i mean, yeah, he doesn't get upset about it. you would be more upset about it than he is because he feels he knows what he did and he knows how good he is, and he doesn't how good he is, and he doesn�*t live in the past. other people tell him all the. >> time, you�*re not in the past. >> time, you�*re not in the past. >> you�*re going to buy vinyl or do anything like that. slade, you know, just. you know, flame, you know, just. you know, flame, you know? how does it feel? you know, there's so much stuff. you just you just can't go wrong. >> but they're bringing out flame, the movie they made in 1973. they're bringing it out again this year. they�*ve really again this year. they've really remastered it and it's like a digital blu ray release. so you say that so that so people do. it is still there. people do still give them the recognition in that way. yeah. 50 still give them the recognition in that way. yeah. so he's not worried about it. don't worry about him. >> i mean my highlight of the oscars was mick jagger coming >> i mean my highlight of the oscars was mickjagger coming on oscars was mick jagger coming on stage. yeah. 81 to present the song stage. yeah. 81 to present the gong for best music screenplay or whatever it was. yeah. who cares what he was presenting it for? mick jagger, a proper star, for? mickjagger, a proper star, old school hollywood star got a standing ovation just for walking on stage, right? he's 81 but got a standing ovation. and, you know, he was the star. he looked out of that room and
6:40 am
goes, i'm a much bigger star than any of you lot. >> again, that�*s longevity. and you have you can't you can't you you have you can�*t you can't you can't knock the people we haven't heard of yet because they haven't been around as long. they can't be around as long. they can't be around as long. there won�*t be they. well long. there won't be they. well yeah. who knows, who knows? >> shall we stick with entertainment? and what do you make of the brits? >> yes, i watched most of the brits, i have to say. and there's a big piece in the daily mail today showing a lot of the artists who were involved, charu artists who were involved, charli xcx and sabrina carpenter and people like that, and other people who attended. and the opening, the opening performance, the performance value was very good. the brits can sometimes be a bit dodgy, but actually i thought the whole performance value of the whole show and the production values were good. but sabrina carpenter's performance, i don't carpenter�*s performance, i don't want to sound like an old lady, but i was. >> she�*s raunchy, she�*s very raunchy. >> there was a lot. >> there was a lot. >> of she, i have no idea. >> of she, i have no idea. >> she, she. >> she, she. >> i thought the carpenters were in the 70s. >> yes. well, yes. you. her. yeah. you could. you can see her there. >> she. >> she. >> she. >> she performed in stockings and suspenders and that in
6:41 am
itself is fine. i mean, she was covered up, but there was a lot of choreography that i can�*t of choreography that i can't describe on breakfast television. >> she was doing mansplaining. >> she was doing mansplaining. >> she was doing mansplaining. >> she was. >> she was. >> mansplaining, manspreading. >> mansplaining, manspreading. >> there was a lot of open leg thrusting your crotch towards the camera choreography. and what my take on that was, is that where we got to is that is this what we�*ve you know, there this what we've you know, there were so many women who were being given accolades and who were performing, and that's a great thing. women have really taken their place in music, but doesit taken their place in music, but does it have to be in your knickers and doing that? and the end of the performance in, you know, pretending to do a sex act on, on a man dressed as a soldier? is that really what we need?! soldier? is that really what we need? i don't know. need? i don�*t know. >> well, she always talks about reclaiming her sexuality, doesnt reclaiming her sexuality, doesn't she? >> and that's. the biggest con. >> and that's. the biggest con. >> of all. >> of all. >> and we had this, the first underwear, the first conversation we had when we were talking about the brits and the oscars and obviously two women of a certain age, it�*s like, oh my god, why didn't they just my god, why didn�*t they just wear more clothes? and we had that, oh, it's reclaiming her sexuality. >> i don't feel empowered. >> i don't feel empowered. >> by it. i think it's the
6:42 am
biggest con that women have been sold. it's like men going, yeah, you're reclaiming it. just wear your knickers. >> and davina mccall, who looks great and who is actually i mean, she's she's perfectly decent. she's wearing a sheer dress over her bra and pants. she looks great. she's been through a lot. i have i again, i don't want to criticise another woman, but to me it just. you woman, but to me itjust. you need to look like she's in the paper because she is competing with those other women. that's that's what she's doing there. and i kind of feel it's a shame she feels she needs to do that. >> she�*s wearing a neck hurt and two sequins. i mean. >> yeah, she, i was, i was i was quite embarrassed by that because i was with davina the night before having dinner with her the night before, and i couldn't look at her the same way like that. >> she was wearing more than that when you were having dinner. >> hopefully she was. >> hopefully she was. >> she was she. >> she was she. >> was though, but, you know, she was in love with life. >> oh that's fantastic. >> oh that's fantastic. >> that's the main thing is. and she was. >> she�*s well and i�*m not. as i say, she looks great. what i hopeis say, she looks great. what i hope is that and i mean that is what she will tell you. it's empowering. i want to do this. that�*s fine. but. but i know
6:43 am
people who work in television and women who work in television, who feel they have to kind of prefer themselves a certain way. >> okay, ladies, we'll be back >> okay, ladies, we�*ll be back with you in a few minutes time. thank you very much. we're going to take a look at the european weather and just an apology for the language at the top of that segment. if you are offended by that, we do apologise. thank you. >> ready to soak up that holiday sunshine? >> won�*t we need some cover? >> won't we need some cover? >> won't we need some cover? >> no worries. all sorted. >> no worries. all sorted. >> allclear travel insurance. sponsors gb news travel destinations forecast. >> there's some wet and windy weather on the way for iberia over the next couple of days, but higher pressure further east is bringing some sunshine. however, there is still some showers around, particularly across parts of greece, cyprus and turkey. high pressure, though, brings sunshine to parts of italy and southern france, however, low pressure very much in charge further west, with plenty of rain and strong winds, and those temperatures generally in the mid to high teens for much of tenerife and the canary islands, there is some sunshine on the way in. temperatures are on the way in. temperatures are on the way in. temperatures are on the rise by the time we get to >> allclear travel
6:47 am
>> welcome back. we're going through the papers still with dawn neesom and suzan holder. morning you two, and let's talk about the king—size welcome for zelenskyy, shall we? >> dawn we have to. yeah, obviously this was happening all over the weekend. this is zelenskyy for this summit of 18 european leaders that starmer convened in central london to agree on a way of sorting out the problem. we seem to be in with our russia and the ukraine situation. a coalition of the willing zelenskyy obviously was the star of the show and after this meeting with the european leaders, went on to meet the king up in our in norfolk. >> sandringham. >> sandringham. >> sandringham. >> sandringham and was very, very warmly welcomed on both
6:48 am
occasions. and, you know, something has to be done. and it's like, you know, someone used the phrase over the weekend that made me realise how serious this situation was, saying, this meeting puts europe on a war footing. and that brought me up short because i thought, well, this hasn't happened since the this hasn�*t happened since the second world war. this level of meeting between so many people meeting between 50 many people talking about the defence of europe, not ukraine, the defence of europe is what this was about and how we all need to raise our gdp, defence spending to at least 3.5%. so this 2.5% the starmer was talking about by four years time just not going to cut it anymore. and that brought me up short. and i thought, yes, this is serious. we do need to take it seriously. and hopefully this coalition of the willing something will come out of it. but the quote that got me and it's on the front of the telegraph is eu president ursula von der leyen saying ukraine would be turned into a porcupine that could not be ingested. maybe something got lost in translation here, but i have not what she's talking
6:49 am
about. it's a bit like who was about. it�*s a bit like who was it? eric cantona with seagulls following the trawler? no idea. but it was that, you know, europe is now on a war footing. that worried me. >> carr europe go it alone, >> can europe go it alone, though, without the us? that's though, without the us? that�*s the question. >> well, i don't think they can, and i don�*t think they will. but i think as an edifying as the spectacle was in the oval office, it's had an effect. and the effect is. >> that unifying europe. >> that unifying europe. >> is europe are all going, oh, actually, we can't just >> is europe are all going, oh, actually, we can'tjust kind of and as crazed as trump often appears, there may be method in his madness there because it�*s his madness there because it's had an effect. i also think that they will eventually sign that deal because he wants to sign that deal because there's something in it for the united states, and it will zelenskyy i don�*t think is against doing don't think is against doing that deal. he just was, you know, against the kind of way they were talking about, excuse me, diplomacy. i think what our point in it is quite crucial because people talk about why do we need the royal family? well, look at the soft power we're showing. and look how how much
6:50 am
of it helped starmer in his meeting in the oval office. and now we�*re showing we're showing, you know, how to actually conduct a state visit or a meeting of the kind that we�*ve had. and people are also saying, oh, we won't get we won�*t let trump have this meeting. yes we will. oh, of course it will be done with diplomacy and in good, good spirits. and that's what we do. and we will have and it will go ahead and it will be done in a very dignified way, which is the way to do things. >> i just used words like dignified. i think it's most undignified. >> it is, it is. >> it is, it is. >> and i think it�*s just >> and i think it's just disgraceful that trump saying, yeah, we�*ll help you, but we want some money for it. yeah. >> and why don't you say thank you more often? and the whole thing about your suit, ijust think was ridiculous. >> what we forget about trump, he is, he is he is a businessman. he's a showman. he's not a politician. he never he�*s not a politician. he never has been. you know, you can either like or dislike that about him. but he does deals. >> yeah, he. >> yea h, he. >> yeah, he. >> does what he does. >> does what he does. >> i saw a very interesting clip of bill clinton being interviewed about about putin. and he said, you know, you
6:51 am
should talk. you should talk tough privately, but it's never tough privately, but it�*s never good to kind of talk to, talk trash to, and to talk people down and humiliate them publicly unless you really have to. well, maybe trump felt he had to, but that's a moot point, isn't it? >> yeah, but if looking at the situation on friday, it was actually mostly jd vance, wasn�*t actually mostly jd vance, wasn't it? yeah. going at zelenskyy and it? yeah. going at zelenskyy and it was the same with starmer because he made the comment about free speech, didn't he? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> it's almost as if trump is >> it�*s almost as if trump is trying to be the chairman between the two. >> yes. >> yes. >> and it�*s jd vance who�*s >> and it�*s jd vance who's coming forward with the attack lines. >> the rottweiler. >> the rottweiler. >> and he�*s. >> and he�*s. >> got his henchmen around him doing the dirty. >> work, the good cop bad cop scenario. the difference with starmer is, unlike zelenskyy, starmer is, unlike zelenskyy, starmer did not rise to the bait, starmer being the lawyer as well as a politician. he did not rise to the bait and just smiled sweetly and handed over the letter from the king. >> well, zelenskyy's scrappy, isn't he? and you know trump isn�*t he? and you know trump doesn't like that. but i mean, how could he not be? >> and also speaking his third language as well. so yeah, keep. forgetting that. >> totally outnumbered. >> totally outnumbered. >> yeah. >> yeah.
6:52 am
>> totally outnumbered. didn't know anybody else helping him when making other points. there were, you know, several of them on him at one point and talking over him. >> i think they�*re going to have >> i think they're going to have to look at that, aren�*t they, to maybe have a translator? i mean, yesterday he was speaking to journalists in ukrainian. so he's obviously thinking, i don't want to get misinterpreted. i'll be speaking in my mother tongue. >> i�*m just amazed that starmer >> i'm just amazed that starmer has got this position, that he gets these leaders to come and visit him in london. well, if i was in germany or france and said, why don't you come and visit me here? you know, i don't see what who died and put him in charge? >> well, i had that meeting in, in paris, didn't they? he�*s the prime. >> minister, eamonn. i think he is in charge a bit. >> but he's he�*s got stuff all >> but he's he's got stuff all to do with europe. >> well no, but. well we're all but. well, we do need to. >> be france or germany. whatever. i'd be most insulted. whatever. i�*d be most insulted. i�*d be saying. >> yeah, it�*s interesting that >> yeah, it's interesting that all the eu leaders came over here and the president of the eu came to london after we brexited to hold this meeting. >> yeah, yeah, i agree, i agree. i think it's quite strange, but there you go. >> let's have a look at susan. let's have a look at this.

>> or what do you think? >> or what do you think? >> i don't see any need for it. i�*ve never had one that's hot before, so. >> so apparently it�*s very good >> so apparently it's very good with mustard. i'm not going to lie to you. i�*m not sold. i like lie to you. i'm not sold. i like an apple pie. and i really like an apple pie. and i really like a chicken and leek pie. if i were to choose a pie. but a steak and ale pie? >> what about fish? >> what about fish? >> a fish pie? yes. a fish pie is great. do you know what? i�*m not averse to any pie, really? but maybe a pork pie. i'm not sold on that. >> would you just leave that for me, then? >> oh, well, yeah, that's yours now. how. >> now. >> big moment in london yesterday, european and world leaders gathered to support ukraine. >> yes. gb news gb news. spear hill takes a look back at what happened and what this all means. >> we are at a crossroads in history today. this is not a moment for more talk. it's time to act. time to step up and lead. and to unite around a new plan for a just and enduring peace. >> following a tense white house clash between us president donald trump and ukraine's
7:05 am
volodymyr zelenskyy, european leaders stepped up yesterday at a summit aimed to bolster support for ukraine amid its ongoing war with russia. hosted by uk prime minister sir keir starmer, he welcomed world leaders, including president zelenskyy, to london�*s historic lancaster house for talks to develop a plan to secure peace for ukraine. >> we�*ve agreed that the uk, france and others will work with ukraine on a plan to stop the fighting. then we'll discuss that plan with the united states and take it forward together. >> during the summit, leaders from across europe consolidated months of talks, creating a new coalition of the willing to defend ukraine and guarantee peace as they agreed to a new plan of action. >> first, we will keep the military aid flowing and keep increasing the economic pressure on russia to strengthen ukraine now. second, we agreed that any lasting peace must ensure ukraine's sovereignty and security. third, in the event of
7:06 am
a peace deal, we will keep boosting ukraine's own defensive capabilities to deter any future invasion. the uk is prepared to back this with boots on the ground and planes in the air, together with others. europe must do the heavy lifting, but to support peace in our continent and to succeed, this effort must have strong us backing. >> the question now is will europe be able to go it alone without the support of the united states and president trump? sophia wenzler gb news. >> well, we're joined now by political commentator oscar. what do you make of this weekend's events, oscar? weekend�*s events, oscar? >> well, look, i mean, i think he's i think he's right. these are incredibly challenging. these are incredibly challenging times. and after his visit to go see trump and then the fall out that happened the very next day
7:07 am
with zelenskyy and then having to slightly kind of put his arm around zelenskyy�*s shoulder, around zelenskyy's shoulder, pick up the pieces of that over the weekend, diplomatically riding two very, very challenging horses. >> why is he being allowed to, you know, if i'm if i'm running france or i�*m running germany, france or i'm running germany, why am i scooting over to london for to listen to what keir starmer has to say? >> because i think ultimately and this is where people think, wait, is this in conflict with america and trump? it's actually what trump wants. trump wanted the eu to get bloody serious on defence and get bloody serious around a war, a conflict that was happening on our continent and not his. and from an america first perspective. and he's a temperamental, bombastic america first president that is entirely you know, people think, you know, he's ultimately very, very unpredictable. that is very predictable. and so keir starmer went over there to the us and probably said to trump off camera, away from, you know, all the stage stuff and was like, i�*m going to get you the eu. i'm
7:08 am
going to get european nations series on this. i get it. and i think that played very well with trump. and i think that also works for us standing up to ultimately. and i know it's frustrating. i know it's frustrating. i know it's frustrating when we're shelling out money, you know, for somewhere overseas. but putin is a tyrant. and we if, if we as brits, if our character, if we don�*t put our money where our don't put our money where our mouth is and we don't stand up to that, then i�*m not quite sure to that, then i'm not quite sure what we are as a nation, but i know it's. >> awkward sitting now watching any, any relationship between putin and trump. and it looks to me as if they�*re mates. so i�*m me as if they�*re mates. so i'm sort of saying, what difference doesit sort of saying, what difference does it make what we're doing? because these two are going off and deciding something themselves? >> well, there is a there is a i mean, there is a pragmatic point to that, which is, yes, we can do all the, you know, coalition of the willing and all that kind of the willing and all that kind of lovely arms around the
7:09 am
shoulder stuff. important. i don't mean to minimise it, but there is a pragmatic route into trump and people might that's distasteful, you know. but ultimately and even our own ambassador, peter mandelson over there has said just sign that critical minerals deal. it�*s critical minerals deal. it's kind of the only show in town. you might, if you�*re zelenskyy, you know, morally, i couldn't be more on the guys side tactically, kind of strategically, diplomatically in that meeting. did he play a very smart move for someone like trump? maybe not so. >> bad advice that he's been given though. i mean, he was speaking in his third language. i think you. >> could tell. yeah, yeah, yeah, you could tell. >> he was struggling to keep up with. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> systems that were coming his way. >> trump wanted to rough him up. yeah. and it he kind of slightly he didn�*t do the best job of kind of cooling that down. and it's sad in a way. like why should he have to do that. why
7:10 am
should he have to do that. why should he have to do that. why should he have to be the b side. why should he be subservient in a way? but ultimately he was in the oval office. it is the only show in town. trump, whether you like it or not, holds a lot of cards over peace. and i think as well as showing the strength here at home, there is a pragmatic we have to get smart in terms of what we can get from trump and ensuring that. >> the pork pie forgive me. >> the pork pie forgive me. >> so i. stuck somewhere. >> so i. stuck somewhere. >> but but let me ask you this. so trump gets his minerals deal right. and then we're announcing, oh, we�*ve got announcing, oh, we've got a missile deal. we�*re going to missile deal. we're going to bomb the heck out of ukraine or whatever, but we've got a missile deal out of it, so it's all okay. >> i think that's a big part of this because it's like, again, the tough sell for starmer here is i�*m going to basically ultimately ask the british taxpayer to dip into their pocket once again for something that doesn't even i mean, people, you know, people when they see their nhs service on its knees and they're paying more and more in tax for it, struggle with it, let alone a war that is that is, you know,
7:11 am
on our continent, yes, but does not directly involve us. that's a really tough sell. 50 it will a really tough sell. so it will be stuff like the manufacturing in the defence sector, missiles. >> are we paying for our own missiles? >> i have absolutely no idea. but what i do know is that if the british people feel as though they are forking, you know, hand over fist in, you know, hand over fist in, you know, in their back pocket for this, you know, not domestic issue. let�*s be honest about it. that�*s a really, really tough sell. 50 he has to and i don�*t sell. so he has to and i don't really have the answer to this. so really have the answer to this. 50 hands in the air here. but he has to he has to. we have to sell to the british people that it is in our british interests to push someone like vladimir putin back. he doesn't share our putin back. he doesn�*t share our values like we talk about british western values. that man doesnt british western values. that man doesn't share those values. we want him weaker. we want him deterred. we don't want him emboldened. invading a european, you know, fellow european country. and if there's a way that he can sell to your point, eamonn, the manufacturing and
7:12 am
emboldening our defence industry here and capability and that results in jobs, then that's probably a smart way of doing it in parts of the industrialised country that we have. maybe that's a good way of selling it. and boosting industry in the countries. cou ntries. >> countries. >> the russians, you see, i�*d say where are they building this? where are they boosting this? where are they boosting this? you said. belfast. >> belfast? >> belfast? >> yeah, i was. >> yeah, i was. >> saying your hometown. >> saying your hometown. >> just give me a big missile and target belfast. >> well, take a serious point. there is. and it's funny, when there is an escalation, fear and point in all this, you know, pre—war age, you know, european nations coming together, you know, does it put us on some war footing? that's what the defence spending increase is meant to do. so there is an escalation point. and that�*s why, like him or not, trump is determined. starmer said this yesterday trump whatever you think is determined for peace here, he wants done with it. he wants he wants done with it. he wants he wants peace. and so we have to hold america close. still. >> oscar, people having their
7:13 am
say on what you�*ve had to say say on what you've had to say today will reflect those throughout the program. and the poll of the day is we�*re asking, do you agree with the prime minister�*s pledge to give 1.6 billion in defence aid to ukraine? >> yeah, this is this missiles package, these missiles that will be made in belfast, and the government is saying it's going to create 200 jobs and more jobs as well in the uk supply chain. let us know. is that a good use of money. you can scan the qr code on your screen now, or you can go to gbnews.com/advent. as always, the final results being announced in martin daubney show later. oscar, thank you very much. thanks guys. >> well, i just got my breath back. >> after you choked on a pork pie. >> well, it was the pastry. >> well, it was the pastry. >> it�*s dense, isn't it? really dense? >> no, but but it�*s just it's just unfortunate it's not made just unfortunate it�*s not made to read the news. >> as well. well, no, but gave it a good go, though, didn't we? >> it is british pie week. >> it is british pie week. >> he�*s still choking on. >> he�*s still choking on. >> his british pie. >> his british pie. >> and what better way to celebrate than treated yourself

under those clear skies and light winds. still some patchy rain possible across northern england into parts of scotland into the early hours and the wind starting to pick up across the far north—west of scotland too. temperatures here seven eight celsius as a minimum, but under the clear skies again —2 to —5 degrees to start tuesday morning, but plenty of sunshine, mist and fog patches slowly clearing from england and wales. and then a fine day to come for many. plenty of bright to sunny spells sunnier across northern england, northern ireland compared to monday, but a weather front will bring outbreaks of rain and some stronger winds to the northwest of scotland as we move through the day. gales developing and once more temperatures back into double figures as we head into the afternoon. see you soon. >> a nice bright morning will generate a lovely warm day right through to the evening. boxt solar sponsors of weather on gb news. >> well, a melton mowbray pork pie. that's what we've got in

7:20 am
feeling i may be eating it wrong. i�*ve heard that i need it with english mustard. so what would you say for me to really enjoy the flavours of a of a pork pie? >> i must admire it as well. but a lot of people put it pickle and piccalilli. even some people come and use a mayo for the more modern customer. so not my favourite, but definitely mustard would help. i think. >> i need a condiment then clearly. so do people come from all over the country or even all over the world to come and see you at melton mowbray? >> yeah they do locally and across the uk we�*re very, very across the uk we're very, very popular with tourists, brings a lot of people to the area known as the royal capital food in melton mowbray. so we do get a lot of visitors, but also, yeah, people from all over the world, especially people that have got family and friends that live closer to melton, they come over and it's definitely one of their places to stop, try some of our products and go away happy. >> but richard, where do you stand on the whether you should heat or not heat issue? >> oh no no no no. melton mowbray just out of the fridge. let it get to room temperature and that�*s when it's best

7:23 am
to what a lot of you are doing. pixie says. just warm a pork pie in the microwave. it improves the flavour and softens the pastry. >> james says. i heat my pork pies in the oven. lots of you talking about hp sauce. apparently that's the way forward. andrew says you need a big a big dropping of hp sauce on your pork pie. >> malcolm says do not ever heat pork pies. all the fat will run out if you do. >> and jack says pork pies should be eaten cold with mustard. okay. got you all going on pork pies this morning. >> yep, yep. keep keep, keep you going and all that still to come this morning. train fares. oh my goodness me. up again in england and wales. more pressure on the purse. we'll tell you all about that next.
7:27 am
train fare is up 4.6% in england and wales, despite there being a record low reliability. and they're not on time, they're not running. there�*s lots of things they're not doing, but they are putting their prices up. >> yes. well, public transport campaigners have warned that this increase will pile more pressure on the purse, more pressure on the purse, more pressure on the purse, more pressure on households as commuters will have to pay hundreds of pounds more per year in order to travel. >> let's go to our west midlands reporter, jack carson. he's at a train station this morning and dealing with the commuters, jack, i suppose, and what they have to say about all of this. >> well, it is a feeling of frustration this morning as passengers across the country are facing that 4.6% rise in regulated rail fares, increases to season ticket prices, as well as rail cards. the campaign group campaign for better transport, calling this further misery on hard pressed
7:28 am
households, the government say these rises are needed in order to invest in the system, but the transport secretary, heidi alexander, acknowledging that frustration by cancellations and delays. you are mentioning there eamonn the system, the transport over the past year has been the worst since march of 2015, 2015. it's the worst reliability performance on british rail services, with 1 in 25 services cancelled last year. more than 217,000 services were axed. that's according to the office that�*s according to the office for rail and road reports. but looking at some of the breakdown of where you're seeing your of where you�*re seeing your price increases, railcards are going up. the price of a three year card has risen from £70 to £80. a one year card has increased from £30 to £35. and if you look at some of the routes and what the impact is on on some of the specific routes, if you're, say, getting a 12 if you�*re, say, getting a 12 month pass to go from york to
7:29 am
leeds, you're looking at something £133 more expensive. if you're saying getting if you�*re saying getting a season ticket from gloucester to where i am today in birmingham, that's you're looking at an increase of £237. that is having, of course, a massive impact on people's bills. impact on people�*s bills. they�*re already having to face higher energy bills when the price cap goes up in a few in a few weeks time. and michael solomon williams, who�*s from the solomon williams, who's from the campaign for better transport, says that this is further misery on hard pressed households and costs, they say, is the one barrier to getting to people, getting people to travel more by rail. so the government must rail. 50 the government must affect must, must address this cost. but heidi alexander, the transport secretary, saying that she understands passenger frustration, saying they inherited a railway that was not fit for purpose and it will take time and trust for it to be restored. >> jack carson there for us at birmingham new street. thank you very much. hopefully you can chat to some commuters a little bit later on and let us know
7:30 am
what they�*re saying. what they're saying. >> chat about robbery. it's just. >> really. >> really. >> really. >> really it's an inefficient service and getting rid of vhs two was just i just can't believe that they, the government would invest. the previous government would have invested so much money in that and then say, oh, we'll not bother. >> yeah, well it's. >> yeah, well it's. >> just. >> just. >> pushing so many people onto the roads, isn't it. >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> have a look at the train fares, you say, well, i won't get on a train then i'll drive. it's cheaper to drive. >> and also just talking about the roads, when you talk about potholes and you look at the state of the roads, you know what the biggest cause is? huge what the biggest cause is? huge lorries, huge lorries carrying loads that should be on the rail, tracks, that should be carried by trains, but instead they're bashing and bruising and digging up your roads. just back
7:34 am
shadow minister for foreign affairs, and very shortly alex is in the studio here. he's the man assigned to the oscars last night as a watch. what did you think. >> it was? okay. it was, it was, it was. it's 3.5 hours, you know, how much fun can you really expect from that? and you know, it is what it is. it's an know, it is what it is. it�*s an awards do. it was very sort of safe in a lot of parts. conan o'brien was the talk show host who was doing it for the first time. he did okay again, played it quite safe. there was 1 or 2 little digs at trump that we'll talk about later on, but overall it was okay. >> okay. good man. got to leave it there because we have got wendy morton. wendy is the shadow minister for foreign affairs and we're going to get her view. wendy, good morning to you. >> morning, morning. >> morning, morning. >> nice day there. wood is wendy. what did you think of the gathering yesterday in london? the european and leaders and the, the canadian prime minister
7:35 am
there as well. how is starmer able to do this? what is he offering that's bringing offering that�*s bringing everybody together. >> well look i think the first thing is that, you know, we saw what happened on on friday. i think it was really important that the european leaders came together in the way that in the way that they, they did yesterday. and i think this is about very much the uk building on the work, the role that we've had in terms of, of ukraine, the start of the war and even before that, very much as a close ally of, of ukraine, but also as a really strong ally of the us as well. and this is about finding a way, a way forward. but equally, i think it's also important that, you know, for shadow ministers like myself, for the her majesty's opposition, we need a little bit more detail and a little bit more detail and a little bit more clarity about, you know, what was agreed at the at the summit. and so we're hoping that we will see that this afternoon when the prime minister comes to
7:36 am
the house of commons. >> what sounded like to me, whether it's trump talking or whether it's trump talking or whether it's trump talking or whether it's keir starmer talking, as long as there's talking, as long as there�*s a business deal in it for the countries involved. oh yeah, that's okay then. that's that's what i'm sort of getting. we�*re going to make missiles in belfast. are we going to fire them? >> look, i think i think what we, what we need to have is an understanding that this is about. yes, it's about the security and the sovereignty of ukraine. it�*s also about the ukraine. it's also about the security of the uk and europe and indeed the us as well. so i think it�*s really important that we actually stay calm. we keep our cool heads, but we're equally we�*re rational and pragmatic as the parties come together to see if they can find that peace deal that i�*m pretty certain that, you know, zelenskyy wants, we want and i�*m sure trump wants as well. >> you mentioned the scenes in the oval office on friday that spat between president trump jd vance and volodymyr zelenskyy
7:37 am
calls off the back of that for that second state visit by donald trump to this country to be cancelled. those calls, led by snp leaderjohn swinney. he says trump is not a steadfast ally of ours in protecting the future of ukraine. do you think that second state visit should be cancelled? >> look, i, i actually think it was very gracious of his majesty the king to offer that visit to the king to offer that visit to the elected president of the us. you know, our strongest, strongest ally and partner in so many areas, particularly security and intelligence. and look, what i would say at this stage is that state visits such as this take a, you know, a very long time to, to plan. they don'tjust happen overnight. so, don�*t just happen overnight. so, you know, i'm not i�*m not going you know, i'm not i'm not going to get drawn any further on this other than i, you know, i'm absolutely clear. it was a very, very gracious offer. invitation from his majesty the king.

>> what do the conservatives think about 2.5% of defence spending by 2027? is it adequate or do we need to go quicker and harder on this? >> well, i think on this point kemi has been very, very clear. we want to see 2.5% delivered, but it shouldn't be the base. we need to be looking beyond that. we need to be looking at the at the 3%. and i think if you look at where we�*re at in the world and what�*s happening in in ukraine, the main thing now is that we see action from the government and that, you know, we've welcomed that, that movement. but we now need to see to see action and we need to see delivery on this. >> shadow minister, you've spoken very well. i've heard and listened to all that you've said there today. but i want to ask you a question about something else, something totally unrelated to your brief. and there's a scientific reason why i�*m why i'm doing this. and i�*m actually it doesn't matter to
7:39 am
this or not, because if you don�*t know the answer, you're don't know the answer, you're playing into my hands in a way. but can you tell me? >> go for it. >> go for it. >> right. go for it. go for it. right. here we go. carr >> right. go for it. go for it. right. here we go. can you actually tell me who won anything at the oscars last night? yeah. >> if i'm honest, i hang on. i'm >> if i'm honest, i hang on. i�*m being honest here, and i am a politician. i didn't watch the oscars last night because i was actually too busy focusing on some constituency work and on prepping for this interview. so tell me, who did win? >> no idea. i've been presenting it all day and i can't even remember. and what the point. >> there you go. touche. >> there you go. touche. >> yeah, no, but the point i�*m trying to make, wendy, is, you know, in olden days, film stars were film stars. paul newman, steve mcqueen, john wayne, james stewart, cary grant. i could go on forever. you can't name any. nowadays, there's nobody. and the films that win. it wouldn't make me get up on a saturday night and go to the cinema.
7:40 am

7:42 am
of genre that they don't tend to go for. >> what tickles your fancy. >> what tickles your fancy. >> tickles my fancy. oh, god. how long have you got? so, honora, which did win really well last night. i did really enjoy it. it's a brilliant film, like we've just mentioned. mikey madison is also good. i haven't sort of got a three day window in my diary to watch the brutalist yet, but i'm told that that's really good. and adrien brody, we spoke about earlier, he caused a bit of controversy, but he won best actor and we actually found i wanted to show you guys this new clip of him throwing a bit of gum to his partner and see what you think of this. >> okay, let's have a look. >> okay, let's have a look. >> appropriate behaviour. have we got it? have we got it queued up? >> it is coming, we're being told. >> oh. yes. >> oh. yes. >> so what do you make of that. >> so what do you make of that. >> what was the need for that. so he�*s going up to the stage so he's going up to the stage and he chucked his chewing gum. >> so he thought it would look more professional to throw his
7:43 am
gum at his partner than to go on stage with the gum in his mouth. >> yeah. you put your hand discreetly up to your mouth and put it in your pocket. >> yeah, you put it in your pocket, would you not? >> i would. >> i would. >> more subtle. >> more subtle. >> i would have thought so. >> i would have thought 50. >> i would have thought 50. >> but more of a scene doing that. >> yeah. well there was plenty of other sort of attention grabbing moments in there. like i mentioned earlier, it wasn't too political, but conan o'brien did. couldn't resist a little did. couldn�*t resist a little dig at trump during the ceremony. and we can listen to that one now. >> welcome back to the 97th long form content awards. you know, honourees having a good night. yeah. that's great. yeah, that's great news. two wins already. i guess americans are excited to see somebody finally stand up to a powerful russian. >> you know, i got my dna tested and it was pure irish. and the guy who tested me said, the only person that has dna like yours is conan o�*brien. >> oh, really? >> oh, really? >> he said, yeah, there�*s anything that's very, very rare
7:44 am
that it anything that's very, very rare thatitis anything that's very, very rare that it is as pure as that. and he spends a lot of time in belfast or whatever we might be related. >> you probably are. >> you probably are. >> do you share the same sense of humour as kind of o'brien? >> no, he's not, he's i think he's a very professional guy. very, very good. he's the one i knew at the oscars and he's a tv presenter. alex, back again shortly. thank you very much indeed. here is the weather around europe. and then we're back with suzanne and don with the papers. >> can't wait to get in that sea. >> lovely and warm. >> lovely and warm. >> just like the feeling of having great travel insurance. >> allclear travel insurance sponsors gb news travel destinations forecast. >> there's some wet and windy weather on the way for iberia over the next couple of days, but higher pressure further east is bringing some sunshine. however, there is still some showers around, particularly across parts of greece, cyprus and turkey. high pressure, though, brings sunshine to parts of italy and southern france, however, low pressure very much in charge further west, with plenty of rain and strong winds,

allclear travel insurance >> we say hello! good morning to dawn neesom and suzan holder and the. they've got the papers in front of them. gender pay gaps. >> 50 front of them. gender pay gaps. >> so yeah good news, good news. yeah it�*s all over. we can all yeah it's all over. we can all see. >> if you're a woman. >> if you're a woman. >> well it well it would appear so. i mean, i wasn't aware of this, but apparently we don�*t this, but apparently we don't need to worry any more. the gender pay gap has been reversed. men now earn less. young women aged 16 to 24, on average, earn more than 2200 more than their male counterparts. back in the real world. >> yeah, quite. >> yeah, quite. >> i mean, i'm not sure that
7:49 am
that's the case, but it is a report by the centre for social justice who then go on to say from the day they start primary school from the day they start primary school, which we all knew, girls do tend to kind of speed ahead. outperform boys and boys, you know, and then boys catch up. and they also make the point that there�*s been a loss of male dominated industries such as manufacturing, agriculture and construction. can you say that any more? i don't think i don�*t think male dominated. i think women can have jobs in those areas, too. >> but there's a real push for women in there is there is, especially in construction. they�*re pushing 5050. >> but i mean, i think i don't >> buti mean, i think i don't know, i can definitely speak from the fact that you don't always i don't see it coming. always i don�*t see it coming. i always i don�*t see it coming. i always kind of think, you know, no, it's all fair. and then you find out that the person who's doing the same job as you, who is a man, is paid differently. that�*s happened to me on several occasions during my career. i think it probably, you know, is definitely. >> being paid better. yes. >> being paid better. yes. >> yeah. i would actually go i mean, i don't believe this survey for one minute. i mean, surveys are surveys. we all know
