>> thank you very much for that. i'm michelle dewberry. this is dewbs& co with you until 7:00 tonight alongside my panel, i've got kelvin mackenzie, the former editor of the sun, and bill rammell, the former labour minister. good evening, gents, to both of you. you're very welcome tonight, as are each and every single one of you at home as well. what's on your mind this evening, ladies and gents? we've got a lot to discuss. i can tell you that it's been yet another busy, bustling day in everyone's quest. it seems to try and get world peace, but how we get there? it depends on your view as to who you support about what that looks like. you can join the conversation all the usual ways. email me gb views @gbnews. com go to the website gbnews.com/yoursay. or of course you can tweet or text me. look, i'll start with a bit of good news. i do use the word bit, you know, quite generously there because if you're a barclays customer, you've just been heanng customer, you've just been hearing about that compensation then could be coming your way. that bank could have to spend up

to £125 million to compensate customers. this is all because of outages. people struggling to basically get their hands on their own cash to do with it, whatever they want. this is all right, isn't it? it's all right. >> well, it is, but i was saying to you, michelle, it actually works out at £0.63 ahead. so i'm not quite sure how much good news it is. >> what can you get for £0.63. what can you get for £0.63. in this day and age. >> i was going to say a few stamps. you can't get anything like a stamp for £0.63 can you? >> in my day and age you'd have been able to buy six freddo bars. do you know what a freddo bars. do you know what a freddo baris? bars. do you know what a freddo bar is? do you know what a freddo bar is? >> no idea. what? you must be old. >> what kind of people am i working with? does anyone at home know what a freddo bar is? >> sorry, i didn't say that. >> sorry, i didn't say that. >> well, anyway, i don't even think 6 to 3 would even be able to buy you a freddo bar these days. and if you don't know what a freddo bar is, quite frankly, there's not much else i can do to help you, i'm afraid. but look, all the big news today. of

course. world peace. that is the ambition and the aim. but how on earth do we go about trying to achieve it? because of course, we've had emergency eu summits today, kelvin mackenzie, we've got lots of conversation about coalitions of the willing. also, we've had suggestions that if you've got european peacekeeping troops on the border, that would essentially put russia at war with nato, where do we even begin with some of this? kelvin? >> well, the person that has all the cards, i'm afraid, is president putin. so if he says i am not going to accept a european wide force as part of the deal, i'm struggling to see how any of this can happen. he definitely won't be accepting the british, which is good, actually, in a funny way, it means that we have been fighting a very good fight and if he hates us, good, we hate him. so that's great news. so i think we

might end up with australia. we might end up with australia. we might end up with australia. we might end up with canada. i see, bizarrely, that even luxembourg has offered some troops, which i didn't even know they had a standing army, to be honest with you. so, you know, it's a good thing to watch all this happening. unfortunately, i feel that this is happening around ukraine and not with ukraine at the centre. i don't know how they've got into this thing. they've got a standing army of nearly a million people. ukraine, i mean, i all the fact that they're all saying we're going to get rid of you, we're not going to have anything. if the ukrainians decided to fight, right, they could fight on. now, i'm not sure how successful they would be, but they are. they are real terriers. i admire them no end what they've done against russia. russia came in. everybody said it'd be three weeks. we'd go straight through. and here we are three years later. and actually, as everybody points out, russia is losing troops through injury and death at 45,000 a month, right? even putin can't take that. so actually, i admire what's going

on. i don't like the idea of france saying, we'll deploy nuclear weapons onto or in defence of ukraine. you know, thatis defence of ukraine. you know, that is putin type talk. we can't have a nuclear discussion. right? it's enough just to have them. you don't need to talk about them. so i, i wish them well in all this. i wonder how much of it is just hot air at the moment. >> bill. >> bill. >> the situation is so destabilising, bluntly, because of the way donald trump has treated one of our biggest allies, ukraine, in the last couple of weeks, and i've never seen anything like it in my aduh seen anything like it in my adult political life. but what is happen
