president trump has told american people to hang tough, saying although the current economic situation won't be easy, it will deliver historic results. his comments come as jaguar land rover announced it will pause shipments to the us this month because of trump's 25% tax on imported cars. jlr sells 100,000 cars to the united states every year. that is a quarter of its global sales. the us is the second biggest importer of british made cars after the eu. the former head of aston martin has said the job losses in the uk industry are inevitable. well, yesterday wall street closed after one of its most volatile weeks in years, with its three main indexes down by more than 5%. jp morgan, the investment firm, says odds of a global recession have risen from 40% to 60%. well, crowds have gathered in cities around the world to hold anti—trump demonstrations. we can bring you some pictures from london, where

crowds gathered as part of the hands off movement. now, these have been taking place around the world, not just across the united states. protesters say they're standing up for democracy and they're against the president's policies generally, not just the new tariffs. the demonstrations come after donald trump threatened to invade greenland, canada and panama. that's a reference to the hands off the movement organised by more than 150 groups, including civil rights groups, including civil rights groups and trade unions. new footage has emerged which appears to contradict israel's account of the killing of 15 medics and rescue workers in gaza last month. a warning some viewers may find the following footage distressing. the palestinian red crescent says the video was recovered from the crescent says palestinian red crescent says the video was recovered from the phone of rifat radwan, one of phone of rifat radwan, one of the men who was killed and the men who was killed and buned the men who was killed and buried in a shallow grave. it buned the men who was killed and buried in a shallow grave. it shows a fire engine and clearly shows a fire engine and clearly marked ambulances driving at marked ambulances driving at night using flashing emergency night using flashing emergency lights before stopping beside lights before stopping beside another vehicle. now, as two men another vehicle. now, as two men

that hmp frankland are so—called most secure category. a prison is a ticking time bomb. no pun intended, of course. the times exposed that islamist gangs are running the show there, forcing inmates who don't want to join their ranks into segregation units just to stay alive. by the way, i have no sympathy for those in those prisons, but there we are, the prison, one of there we are, the prison, one of the highest security jails in britain, is said to have become overrun with islamic islamic gangs. that's its terrorist separation centres, which were built in bid to stop the

terrorists from radicalising. others have become totally defunct. now some prisoners are apparently being isolated to dodge death threats and attacks from islamic extremists, though a prison service spokesman does deny that claim. former prisoner governor ian atkinson warns the conservative post that failure to tackle these issues could spark race riots inside. he called it a national security threat. but more shocking still, robert jenrick went on to expose that our morally bankrupt bureaucracy is slowing action by tying up prisons in red tape. jenrick said the court forced prison authorities to treat a known propagandist as if, as if his extremism were just a theory. governors now have to build case files for individual self—styled emirs as if they're on trial all over again. and in my opinion, deradicalisation in our prisons isn't just failing. it's a complete and utter farce.

a 2020 house of lords report questioned the effectiveness of these programs, and still to this day, nothing has changed. terrorists are setting up sharia courts in some jails. according to a 2020 report by jonathan hall kc. and staff are too scared to step in because guess what? they don't want to be branded islamophobic. how can the public feel safe when our most dangerous prisons are turning into extremist breeding grounds, knowing that eventually they'll be back on our streets, even more radicalised than before? so what do we do when these dangerous people are back on the streets of britain? some of them will undoubtedly, undoubtedly be foreigners, and the sane minded of us would assume they'd be on the first flight out of here, which, frankly, should have been the place in the first place. but you've seen the headlines week after week, showing our bankrupted justice system

overturning deportation rulings of dangerous foreign criminals. let's be real. we're running out of options. we're running out of time. and successive governments have been completely asleep at the wheel. if we can't support them and we can't de—radicalize them, we're sitting on a powder keg. and mark my words, it is going to blow. right. let's get the thoughts of my a star panel here. journalist and communications adviser linda jubilee, former met police detective peter bleksley, former labour special adviser paul richards. peter, i want to start with you. how on earth have we got to a point where islamic extremists are supposedly, according to reports, running britain's prisons? >> because about 18% of the prison population are muslim. that's why they're a significant proportion. and of course, many of those locked up are for the

most heinous crimes committed against the british public acts of terrorism, mass murder. and of terrorism, mass murder. and of course, these people are absolute fanatics. there is no rehabilitation of these people. it is their life quest and of course, their death quest, because they think they will be rewarded in death for the sins that they have bestowed upon the great british people. so yes, anybody with half an ear attached to the criminal justice system will tell you that this is actually happening. and quite simply, i see no possibility at the moment with the current leadership within prisons, with the poorly paid staff, poorly trained, under—resourced, who are, quite frankly, doing anything for a quiet life. so they get home intact to their families, not running these jails as they should be done. i fear for the future. >> yeah. paul, this is this is really shocking stuff. and we keep seeing these headlines year after year. we keep hearing about it. it's clearly getting

worse. in my opinion. the tories did little to stop it. what's labour going to do, do you think? >> i mean, i certainly echo those points about the prison officers who are underpaid and have terrible time. we haven't had the investment in that that we need. yeah. interesting that yet again jenrick generating headlines. i said this last week you know kemi where is she. but robert jenrick is making the news in terms of the actual issue.i news in terms of the actual issue. i can remember when i was in government, this being an issue 15 years ago. so the fact that this is going on, the radicalisation is going on in prison. we've been aware of this for an awfully long time. it's not new news. it is deeply worrying. but the problem is what do you do? because, like peter says, people, some of the islamist ideology is so embedded in people's heads that actually they're irreconcilable. they ought to be locked up for the rest of the time. >> well, this is this is the problem, isn't it, linda? because they're turning these prisons into into recruitment grounds. and these people eventually, like most a lot of these people are british citizens. they're born here. >> the problem is, you've got an

exponential growth here. i hear what paul is saying. the problem has been around, but it is growing fast, and it's now a profoundly disturbing issue. i mean, and it's not just prisons. i've made mention before that i've made mention before that i've been inside hotels delivering women's empowerment programs. >> i've been inside. i thought you were going to. >> say that. >> say that. >> that would have been revelation. >> don't put me off. no. so i know for a fact that that incendiary situation also exists inside some hotels. because the borough command has used exactly that word. you used a powder keg. but the idea that it might be going on in a maximum security jail is profoundly worrying, because i don't really know what you can do to try and cope with this. but i do know that because of some of the work i've done in communications advice, there is huge, huge concern that people won't raise a red flag because they are concerned that the race card will be played against them. and that's what's behind people doing nothing. >> does that come down to the

training for the prison staff? because they need to understand there is a difference between being a muslim and just, you know, doing your worship and all the rest of it. and islamist ideology, which is an anti—west ideology, which is an anti—west ideology rooted in the idea they want to destroy the. are they. >> allowed to set up sharia courts in this? >> this is the this is the thing, isn't it, peter? because because, you know, look, it seems to me i mean obviously jonathan hall kc there and multiple credits to the times as well for these big exposes. they're saying that that prison authorities are essentially too scared to speak out because of islamophobia, which is exactly what we heard about the rape gangs, by the way. i mean, it's just is this this bureaucracy just is this this bureaucracy just getting out of control ' 7 m. again? >> it is. but another aspect coming into play here, which you might be rather surprised to heanis might be rather surprised to hear, is the real downgrading of blue collar workers, which has happened for the past couple of decades because the educated, intellectual elite that run this country look down upon people who do frontline jobs, like being a prison officer back in

the day, you'd earn a decent wage, you'd be very well trained, supported by experienced staff, and it was a career you could do for life and retire on a decent pension. but no, because you're not one of the educated elite. they look down at you. there's intellectual snobbery coming into play here. it's the same rot across across policing. but they, of course, are all deluded themselves because they're all rushing off to get degrees while policing gets worse. but it is the downgrading of blue collar workers is actually a fundamental part of this concern. >> but do you think that some people are keeping their mouths shut because they do fear that they will be criticised for? >> yes, because. the racist. because the utterly intolerant dei wokery brigade will drum you out of your job if you say, for example, there's a bloke in a frock. okay, you will get absolutely drummed out of your job, ostracised, cancelled for calling a bloke in a frock, a bloke in a frock. and so it goes

on.and bloke in a frock. and so it goes on. and while we have this intolerant kind of elitism amongst dei dei departments who call themselves what they will, where people are terrified to say what they think and what is the truth, then i'm afraid the rot is just going to set in even deepen >> yeah. paul, paul, what do you make of that? because, you know, we've spoke a lot about dei and wokeism and how it's destroying, you know, sensible institutions like the prison service should be quite straightforward to run a prison, really, isn't it? keep the inmates in in line and stop them from organising into gangs. but again, we're talking decades on from the first stories about this, and it seems the bureaucracy is again creeping in. >> but the argument here is that you need to understand what islamism is and what it is not in order to tackle it. and i don't think that education is going on inside the prison service. >> right. so you think it's an issue with the education of the prison authority? >> it's having the having the ability to spot when somebody has been radicalised, when they've been, you know, when the texts are coming out, the sort of the antisemitic texts, the

anti—west ideology, but surely not. >> surely they know if there's a serious terrorist in a category, a prison that they're going to harbour really harsh, radicalised views. surely they. >> seem from the evidence. >> seem from the evidence. >> not if you go to prison for committing mass murder at london bridge and suchlike. right. it's pretty clear who you are, what you stand for and what you want to do to this country. >> that's a tiny minority. we're not talking about that. we're talking about people who have been radicalised in prison or going in. >> by exactly the sort of people i've just been talking about who spread their evil, wicked bile, amongst others, and then frighten them into converting into islam. >> i mean, i'm no, it's not about converting to islam ehhen about converting to islam either. it's about people who are getting into a ideology which is called islamism. >> okay. all right. well moving on.and >> okay. all right. well moving on. and anyway, there's loads more to unpack on this, by the way. this is going to be an evolving story. but time now for the great british giveaway. and it's the biggest prize we've even it's the biggest prize we've ever, ever given away. it's your chance to drive away with a brand new fourth four berth motorhome, so i can't get that word out. four berth motorhome with over £67,000. and that's

welcome back to

ben lyon tonight with me alex armstrong. britain is seeing its first brexit dividend as president donald trump imposes a 10% tariff on uk goods. half the rate hitting eu exporters. this move hailed as a win for the uk's independent trade status, has been praised by leaders like lord frost, who sees it as a vindication of brexit. while the tariff isn't without its challenges, uk businesses may benefit from the competitive edge over our eu counterparts, especially in sectors like aerospace. economists warn of short term pain, of course, but see potential for long term gains as tariffs create new trade opportunities and lower pnces trade opportunities and lower prices for consumers. so has brexit saved britain with president donald trump's tariffs? well, i'm joined now by journalist for the european and for the european conservative, dave atherton, and human rights campaigner and director of the peter tatchell foundation, peter tatchell. welcome both to the

studio. welcome. very, very good to have you here. david, you're a gb patriot, as i as i know. have we been saved by brexit? >> i would say absolutely magnificently. we're leaving. leaving the eu is the best thing we ever did. and let me just get these figures out. and look, many of you might know this. in 2016, when we voted to leave, voted to leave the eu. we exported to the european european union £242 billion worth of goods and services and goods. services and goods was 242,000,000,000 in 2023, which was the last time i was able to get some figures for. it's now 356 billion in services and goods that we sold sold to the eu. and that's a 47%. that's a 47% increase. and also we've also done extremely well in america at the same time as well. but yeah, it is it is to be welcomed that britain has

always been a free trade nation. adam smith right, right through to the classical liberalism of the institute of economic affairs. we've always been a free trade nation. i think that's half the reason why that donald trump hasn't bashed us so much. and also also because because he's sticking on the big tariffs on the other countries, we might be able to undercut them, right, undercut them on their goods and services. >> or perhaps we could get more trade from the eu as a result of it as an independent country. right. because they're going to have to find new trading partners and maybe step up. >> and also as well the other thing as well, you know, some of these people won't be able to sell their goods and they might offer it to us at a cheaper rate. >> okay. >> okay. >> so deflationary. >> so deflationary. >> well, peta look, that's a that's a pretty strong case. case there from david. what do you have to say about the tariffs? >> let's be absolutely clear. donald trump has declared economic war on britain and the rest of the world. he wants to undermine the british economy. he wants to damage our

manufacturing industry. he's happy to see job losses. that is outrageous. and we have to resist. he is trying to protect america at the expense of the rest of the world, including britain. this is not going to be a win. all throughout history, trade wars like this have led to mutual ruin. and you know, the long term effects. i think there may be some rosy pockets, but overall, the long term effects are going to be devastating for this country and other countries. >> would you not argue that brexit as a result of brexit, we are now seeing a dividend because we are only getting a 10% hit. we would be under 20% under the eu if we'd stayed. would you not make that argument? >> well, let's not forget that brexit cost this country about £50 billion. in redoing all the bureaucracy and red tape. the process of withdrawal costs us £50 billion, which could have been put into the nhs and schools and other social projects. that's a huge negative

cost. now we do have this differential with the eu with regard to the tariffs. but 10% is still quite a hard hit for british manufacturing. lots of our manufacturing, which goes to the us, has quite narrow margins. and it means, as we've seen today, that car manufacturers are pulling out of exporting to the us because of the damage this tariff will cause. and that is going to potentially impact british jobs for british workers. that is not a good move. >> but hang on a second. you know, when you look at the eu and america and britain, what have you. be quiet. we actually we actually export twice as much to america as we import. and the differential is the eu sells three times as much of goods and services to america than they import from america. there really is a massive trade imbalance. even if you go back to the industrial revolution, when britain produced two thirds of the world's manufactured

goods, we always ran a deficit year in, year out. so, you know, it is a natural progression of being a rich country. i think also donald trump as well is also donald trump as well is also doing the art of the deal as well. you know, he's splashing numbers around with the hope that we're going to meet halfway there. and, you know, also, the other thing i particularly wanted to ask you about peter, the fact he's adding, adding in the free speech requirement as well, i think that is to be particularly welcomed. >> yeah. well, going back to the economic side of things, you know, i feel and fear for british workers in the car industry, which is a major employer in this country. the 10% tariff is going to make many of those cars exported to the us uncompetitive. it could lead, i fear it will lead to a loss of british jobs. and that's disastrous. that's absolutely disastrous. that's absolutely disastrous. on the free speech issue. there have been some excesses and restrictions on free speech. i agree, and those

are wrong. but they're tiny. tiny by comparison to the united states, where people get picked up off the street for expressing views about the israel—gaza war. and then sent to deportation. >> well, maybe. let me just also frame a different question to you both, because keir starmer in downing street claimed that he had the prime minister had obviously secured a good deal this, this 10% tariff, essentially due to his lobbying. now the white house are putting hot water, cold water all over that saying that actually, no, we base this on pre—existing, you know, trade affairs. should the prime minister take any credit? >> no, not not keir starmer. you know you know you know donald trump is america first and keir starmer is the world first. we're very much down to britain's very much down at the bottom of the queue. no i, i think what, what, what might be part of donald trump's gambit is to split us away from the eu, right. divide and rule. >> absolutely. that is

absolutely what he wants. >> i'm all for. >> i'm all for. >> he wants a weakened britain and a weakened europe. he wants our economies to tank so america can take advantage of it. and thatis can take advantage of it. and that is greedy. it's a form of economic imperialism, like the old days of the 19th century. and it's going to damage our economy, our jobs and our people. >> peter, would you make the argument that globalism is part of the problem here? because we have been so exposed to the international businesses, the american businesses here, the german car manufacturers now, they own, like they've got our last blast furnace is owned by the chinese. is this not a case for bringing back at least economic nationalism? >> well, there have been some downsides to globalisation, but there's also been advantages because it meant that we can take advantage of cheaper raw materials and products we can sell to lots of countries. that's a good thing. but, you know, of course there's always room for improvement. and i think, you know, in the current climate, you know, our economy is not doing well. anything like these tariffs is going to cause

us more harm and more pain. and i'm very worried tonight for british pensioners who have their pensions in companies that are being impacted by donald trump's travel. well we've we've seen this we've seen the share pnces seen this we've seen the share prices dropping. and that's knocking off huge 10 or 20% of people's pensions. that's terrible. >> terrible. >> terrible. >> the three major problems with britain at the moment is government overspending nearly £3 trillion in debt. massive migration. the two two of the reasons why this country is failing. and, you know and until we. it's not it's not really these tariffs that are going to be are going to do the damage. it's the labour party's running of the economy and the way and the way they've failed to tackle government spending amongst other things. >> look at look at spain. i'm not saying spain's perfect, but their economy is the most successful in the world. they've rejected they've rejected austerity. they have a 3.6% growth, annual growth. they've been praised by international

economic institutions. they show that austerity is a bad way to go. but by by investing. >> they do. >> they do. >> public services. >> public services. >> spain does have a very high unemployment rate. we have to, especially amongst young people. so we do have to highlight that. but unfortunately, gentlemen, i have to leave it there. david peta brilliant debate. thank you both for coming in. but coming up, education secretary bridget phillipson says there's only 1 in 4 teachers are men. she believes male teachers can help guide boys towards positive behaviour. is there a lack of male teachers in schools? this is ben leo tonight with me, alex armstrong. only on gb news. >> i hope it doesn't rain. >> i hope it doesn't rain. >> don't worry about it. >> don't worry about it. >> it'll spoil our holiday. >> it'll spoil our holiday. >> relax. we're totally covered. >> relax. we're totally covered. >> allclear travel insurance sponsors, gb news, travel destinations, forecast. >> although some of the sunniest and warmest weather across europe is in the uk at the moment, there will still be some fine weather for parts of spain.

behaviour and resilience. the behaviour and resilience. the push, of course, comes amid push, of course, comes amid growing concerns over the impact growing concerns over the impact of digital media and its links of digital media and its links to misogyny, highlighted in the to misogyny, highlighted in the netflix series adolescence. we netflix series adolescence. we are now joined by director at are now joined by director at cambridge online education cambridge online education doctor troy page. doctor troy, doctor troy page. doctor troy, thank you so much for joining thank you so much for joining doctor troy page. doctor troy, thank you so much forjoining me doctor troy page. doctor troy, thank you so much forjoining me tonight. now there's been a lot tonight. now there's been a lot of talk about adolescence. i'm of talk about adolescence. i'm personally a little bit sick of personally a little bit sick of it. i think we should have been it. i think we should have been talking about young boys mental health a very, very long time ago. but, you know, are putting in more male teachers into schools. is that really going to solve the problem? >> i think it's going to help quite considerably. you talk about a long time ago, but i can remember back in 2002, david blunkett talking about the same thing and actually getting into quite a lot of trouble because a lot of people were saying that he was basically bashing female teachers for asking for more male role models. but so it's been going on a long time. and

the truth of the matter is we just need to pay them properly. i mean, if we pay, pay male teachers properly, we'll find that there's more male teachers. but yeah, of course we need more male role models. schools should be representative of the wider society. and frankly they're not. there's obviously three quarters of the teachers are female. that's not for male

isn't very attractive for male teachers. >> well, what do you think is causing this, this behaviour crisis? is it online influences or is it simply a breakdown of the of the family unit? what is it? is it a mixture? what's your what's your take on that. >> yeah i think it's well it's a complex question. it doesn't have any easy answers, but i think you could improve the situation considerably if we had a situation where there was enough money in a household for a parent to spend more time with

their children. i think it's all well and good for dame rachel de souza to accuse parents of not giving enough time to their children and leaving their children and leaving their children to chatgpt to, to, to find answers about the big questions in life. it's all well and good for her to say that, but somebody's got to pay the bills. and so i've got a lot of sympathy for british families who are struggling to put food on the table. but that said, parents do need to step up. i think the adolescence programme was very clear on that point. you know, the parents at the end, they were asking, can we do? should we have done more? and that potentially is something that that a lot of parents were alerted to in that particular programme. so i think parents can always do more if they're, if they're if they're afforded the time with their children to do so. but many, many households struggling. so, you know, it's easier said than done. >> doctor troy paige, thank you

very much for joining >> doctor troy paige, thank you very much forjoining us and giving us your insights on that. i want to get the thoughts of my panel journalist and communications adviser linda jubilee, former met police detective peter bleksley and former labour special adviser paul richards. linda, i mean, you know, keir starmer has made a big song and dance about this adolescent stuff in the house of commons. we are now rolling the show out to primary and secondary schools. i was just like, is this completely bonkers? because, you know, in my in my very strong opinion, he went and met the victims of axel rudakubana. and how on earth did that not implore him at that moment in time? but a fictional drama would. >> that's what i can't understand. this is not a documentary. it's not a factual programme. it is a drama. and i know from being on a programme that made two half hour programmes per week that producers look for certain things that build impact in a drama, and they are different to the kind of observation and

evidence you gather in a documentary. so first of all, it's really important to draw that distinction because even our guests there is saying, well, there were certain things the , the adolescents programme the, the adolescents programme made clear. it's not supposed to be making anything clear. >> this is it, isn't it, peter? i mean, we seem to be completely out of touch. i mean, i'm baffled when i see the prime ministers had this light bulb switch on today. this has been going on for a really long time, hasn't it? >> it has. but to answer the real core subject of what we're talking about, i use the example of my youngest boy, who's now 22. he went to a non—selective comprehensive school, an all boys school, and there was a lot of young fellas there at that school who came from the tough side of the street. yeah. and the headmaster there, who i'm going to give a shout out to. mr skinner ran that school with a rod of iron. he used to frighten the life out of me on parents evenings. he was exactly the kind of man you wanted in charge. he kept that school in order. he kept those kids in

line. and they learned and they achieved. and that's what. that's what boys in school need. >> paul. your thoughts? sorry, we have to wrap up this bit shortly. but, paul, go ahead. >> well, bridget phillipson is making a good point, which you do need male role models. you need leadership in schools. peter's absolutely right. you need support for dads as well to teach them how to be dads. and also you need. it was a great shame we abolished the sure starts where a lot of these parenting skills could be taught in the community too. yeah, we should get back to that. >> we don't need to be rolling out adolescents in school. >> well, i've not i've not seen i've not seen it. but, you know, the bigger point is we do need role models. >> well, i have seen it, and i wouldn't let my children watch it below a certain age. and i think anyone watching it. well, it's a good piece of drama, there's no question about that. >> sure, but it's not a documentary. it's not a documentary. it's not a documentary. anyway, coming up, deputy prime minister and housing secretary angela rayner is determined to meet the target of building 1.5 million new homes by 2029. to who will these houses go to, though? is it the

priority, such as homeless people, or is it others? this has been leo tonight with me. alex armstrong only on gb news. >> tomorrow on gb news breakfast. we've got a treat for you. >> it's me, angela rippon. >> it's me, angela rippon. >> forjust one morning, the >> for just one morning, the broadcast and strictly star joins the breakfast team to bnng joins the breakfast team to bring you all the news as it happens. >> nice positive story there. >> nice positive story there. >> another special day here on gb news. >> well, we're still here after the last one. >> gb news breakfast with me stephen dixon and angela rippon from six. >> yes,

>> welcome back to ben leo tonight. now deputy prime minister and housing secretary angela rayner is determined to meet the target of building 1.5 million new homes by 2029,

despite economic challenges. speaking on lbc, rayner stressed that while the goal won't solve the housing crisis, it's a crucial step forward. she highlighted the recent £2 billion funding boost for affordable homes and planning reforms to speed up development, with over 1.2 million on the waiting list for social housing. rayner vowed to begin addressing the crisis even if a full resolution takes decades. but who is going to get these homes? are they going to homeless people? are they going to people who need it as a priority? well, i am now joined by model louise glover. louise, thank you so much for coming on tonight. i mean, of course, you know, rishi sunak had a policy before he left office, the former prime minister to prioritise british citizens for housing, social housing first that was ripped up by the labour party. do you think that was a mistake? >> i don't really know what's going on out there. really. do we think we know what they're

doing? but i don't think they know what they're doing. i think have they got it right this time with building new homes or. >> well, i think, you know, it seems to me that you, you you'd want to prioritise british citizens first for these types of homes. and you know, i've my family didn't we didn't come from a very wealthy background and often struggled with housing. and you know, you'd think, for goodness sake, we've got to look after british people first in this country. and it doesn't seem to me that that having read what's, you know, what the what the policy might be, that we will that will end up being the case. >> yeah. i'm not sure they're going to actually help the people that really need it. i think there's new people coming into this country that's going to get. well, i'll give you my story. >> yeah, please. >> yeah, please. >> i know firsthand that being down the council last week, going in there saying i'm sleeping in my car, can you please help me? and i've been in there several times, and a guy came out and spoke to everyone in the room in the reception in

arabic. and i'm sat there and i had to ask other people, what did the person say? wow. and i feel a foreigner in my own country. it's incredible. and i'm not getting the help that eveni i'm not getting the help that even i need. and then when i went up to the reception, the guy and he said, i said to him, when am i, you know, going to get a scene? i've been here two hours. he went, oh, you need to go to the homeless shelter because the woman's there, not here. so then i did that and i went to the homeless shelter, and the woman said to me, and i said the same thing. i'm sleeping in my car tonight. what do i do? i've been in in many, many times. and she turned around and said, there's nothing we can do. there's nothing, you know, and. >> incredible story. >> incredible story. >> louise gave me a blanket. she gave me a blanket and wished me luck. and that was. that was the story of that day very recently. >> i want to bring in the panel here. i mean, everyone at home knows who you all are because you're here every weekend, thankfully. but, peter, this is quite shocking stuff we're hearing. you know, louise is telling the story that she's going to a council. she's actually having to get someone to translate for her in english. that's quite shocking. >> a young, homeless,

resourceful woman with so much of her life in front of her. if only she could have a roof over her head so that you could rebuild your business with the dog training and the dog minding and all of that kind of thing. and when you go to for help, you are addressed in arabic in the uk. now that should have people turning out onto the streets tomorrow with placards and banners and marching into downing street and saying, what the hell is going on in great britain? because it doesn't feel very great to me. >> yeah, paul, that's quite damning, isn't it? because, you know, angela rayner is obviously rebuked, claims that these will go to people that are not british citizens who obviously she's saying that's a nonsense story. but, you know, people like louise who are sitting there with a real story there about being addressed in a foreign language when she's coming to try and get help from the government. it's quite it's quite exposing, is it not? >> well, people are fighting over scant resources, aren't they? that's the problem is about supply. and when angela rayner talks about this target

of all these millions of houses, they haven't been built yet, you know, and i think the first thing we need to do is have more social housing and more council housing at that end of the market. so that frees up that real pressure that louise is talking about. >> how about a bit less addresses in arabic? letby not supply. they're being spoken to in arabic in the uk. >> let's build the houses. that's what we need to do. >> i think it's a matter of supply. i think what it is now is it's a matter of priorities. >> no, it's about building the house. >> no no no. »- >> no no no. >> no, you've got to build them. otherwise there's no. >> i just want to come back. >> i just want to come back. >> to. >> to. >> louise for a second. obviously, you know. >> louise needs a house now. not in a year and a half's time. >> yeah. do you think that you should? do you feel that you should? do you feel that you should be prioritised as a british citizen for housing first? i mean, obviously councils would argue that, you know, they were speaking arabic because they, you know, they're trying to make sure they can reach lots of people. there's lots of different, diverse people in the country. that's what they would argue. but do you think that you should be able to get priority when you step in there as a british citizen? >> can i just say i'm confused

with the homeless project, for example, because i've gone in there many a times, many a times. it's been eight months, i've been homeless and i've managed resourcefully. thank god i've been independent as a person since a young person, and i've been through similar things as a young person with my mum and my dad, which i won't go into. yeah, my difficulties growing up, but when i've gone to the homeless place before and they talk about and i've gone in there and i said before, i'm sleeping in my tent, i've gone to a campsite. so i've been resourceful. i feel safer at the campsites than on the street, but they've turned around to me in the past and they've said, okay, you're not going to get the priority list because you're a woman who hasn't got children and you don't got any mental health issues. >> stick a burka on and say inshallah and see how you jump over all the white people. >> unfortunately, i have 10s to the end of this part of the show, but we're going to be back next hour with all your front newspaper front front pages. hot off the press. here's your weather. >> a positive outlook through

the night will power through to a bright day ahead. boxt home battery storage sponsors of weather on gb news gb news. >> hello there! welcome to your latest gb news weather forecast from the met office. high pressure keeps it settled. it does mean it will turn quite chilly tonight with some mist and fog in places, but then there'll be plenty of sunshine to come through sunday. you can see high pressure just sat firmly across the north—east of the uk, a bit of a keen easterly breeze through the day today, but it should start to ease a little. some low cloud as we move through into the early hours, moving in across northern england, northern and eastern parts of scotland, so turning quite murky here. otherwise it's a clear night to come, turning quite chilly where those skies remain clear and the winds are light. temperatures dropping away into single figures. touch of frost for 1 or 2, particularly across northern england into scotland. temperatures here likely to fall below freezing in the countryside, so a bit of a grey start across the north of the uk. so if we take a look at the details first thing sunday morning, we can see quite a lot of cloud low cloud across orkney

and shetland, eastern parts of scotland too. but in the west plenty of sunshine to greet us first thing and lots of sunshine across northern ireland into parts of northern england and wales too. just some low cloud around the higher ground and plenty of sunshine across the rest of england as well. a bit of an easterly breeze through the day. it will stay quite chilly along some eastern coasts once more, but plenty of sunshine to come. just low cloud still affecting parts of orkney and shetland, but hopefully it will brighten up here through the afternoon as well. and lots of places. seeing lots of sunshine and the sunshine. a little hazy at times, but lifting temperatures towards the mid teens 1718 celsius possible across the southwest again. winds feeling a little lighter so it should just feel a little bit warmer too. cold night into monday morning, a patchy frost in places and then more of the same to come. plenty of sunshine through the day, just some low cloud again across the far north of scotland into orkney and shetland, and high pressure holds on through much of next week, keeping it dry and sunny

of trump's 25% tax on imported cars. jlr sells 100,000 vehicles to the us every year. that's a quarter of its global sales. now, the us is the second biggest importer of british cars after the european union. and the former head of aston martin has said job losses in the uk market are inevitable. well, yesterday wall street closed after one of its most volatile weeks in years, with its three main indexes down by more than 5%. investment firm jp morgan says the odds of a global recession have risen from 40 to 60%. well, crowds as a result of gathered in cities around the world to hold anti—trump demonstrations where thousands took part in washington dc, where protesters have said they're standing up for democracy and are against the president's policies generally, not just the new tariffs. with protests planned in every us state. >> we are in a fight. we are in a fight for our democracy. we are in a fight for our

constitution. we are in a fight for our families. we are in a fight for the kind of future we want in this country. in america, we do not accept dictators and we do not accept kings. >> protests in paris, berlin and also central london earlier, as part of the global hands off movement, they're referring to trump threatening to invade greenland, canada and panama. the movement, organised by more than 150 organisations, including civil rights groups and trade unions. israel's military has admitted to mistakenly attacking a convoy of emergency vehicles and killing 15 medics and rescue workers in gaza last month. a warning some viewers may find the following footage distressing. the admission follows the emergence of this footage, shared by the palestinian red crescent, which proved their ambulances and a fire engine were clearly marked and had emergency lights flashing when the attack took place. the israeli military initially claimed the vehicles had headlights off and no

flashing signals, so its soldiers opened fire on, quote, terrorists in suspicious vehicles, with the un's confirmed 15 bodies were found in a mass grave. the footage was recovered from a mobile phone belonging to one of those killed, and the ambulances were also buried. finally, nick rocket, trained by willie mullins and ridden by his son patrick, has won the grand national at aintree. the 33 to 1 shot led home a123 for the champion trainer , mullins. the champion trainer, mullins. the 2024 winner i am maximus, came second. grange clair west was third. and willie mullins finished with five of the top seven horses. the winning owner, stuart andrew, is now more than half £1 million better off. those are the headlines. i'll be back with more just after 11. >> for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code, or go to

labour mp arrested on rape and child and child sex offences there. police raided home of dan norris, the mayor of west of england, on friday. and then we're moving on to the express uk iron dome, so we do this one again. won't protect us from putin. okay, let's get the thoughts of my fantastic panel. linda, julia, everyone else peter bleksley guys, let's get let's get stuck straight in. i want to start off. listen, we there's an active case going on on this. so we cannot discuss active cases on air. as you know i know so many of you want to talk about it, but we are going to talk first of all about the uk iron dome. now, you know this. we haven't heard a lot about the war, linda, recently. it's taken a little bit of a drop off since that big fallout in the white house. is this sabre rattling coming back here? we've got the sunday express leading with the putin story. we've got who else was over here? we got the independent. yeah. >> i mean, i would say if sir alex younger issues a warning,

we should all be paying attention. >> interesting. >> interesting. >> because he is one of the most forceful and accurate commentators i've heard since the beginning of this conflict. the only thing that worries me is that iron dome won't protect us from from putin. it didn't protect the israelis from hamas. right? so it doesn't protect absolutely everything because hamas went under the dome and still killed a thousand people. but we do need to pay attention to the size of our army, which at the moment wouldn't fill wembley stadium. alex young is absolutely right. there is a clear and present danger and we have to do something about it in terms of recruitment and increasing the percentage we spend on defence of our gdp. >> paul, labour's promised, is going to put defence spending up. obviously there's a lot of rumours that that money is going to be going to chagos, which is going to cost us 90 million a yean going to cost us 90 million a year. do you think, do you think we're going to have to raise defence spending again in the near term? >> well, on the iron dome it does defend israel, but not

exclusively. and it would defend us in the same situation. it does bring down an awful lot of the rockets that are targeted at tel aviv and elsewhere. so i think, you know, luke akehurst mp and others have said this. we need proper missile defence for the uk. we also need to double the uk. we also need to double the size of the army. yeah. you know, and some of this, some of this increased expenditure, we've taken money as, as you know, away from aid and putting it into defence. but it can't all go on kit. it has to go on personnel as well. so i think a lot of massive recruitment and pay lot of massive recruitment and pay people decently and put a lot of young people into the army is one of the answers as well. >> peter, look, you know, this is britain must get ready for war with putin. this is quite, quite sensational words here from sir alex younger. what do you make of it all? >> we should have had a war with putin three years ago. we should have done the minute he walked. >> in. >> in. >> in. >> i hope not. >> i hope not. >> i hope not. >> i don't want us to go to war. >> i don't want us to go to war. >> the minute he walked in, his troops marched into ukraine. we should have got a bit of paper, stuck it under zelenskyy's nose

and said, sign there, you're in nato. and then we would have smashed putin's troops back to moscow within a fortnight, and it would have been done and dusted. but no, no, our cowardly, pathetic politicians went, oh, it might cause a nuclear war. really? well, appeasement and cowardice gets your headlines like this. >> well, i don't think it was our policy, just our politicians. i think our military leaders as well did not want to exacerbate the situation. and in fact, we have to pay close attention to what we do along putin's border going forward. >> military leaders do what elected politicians tell them to do. >> paul. >> paul. >> it's interesting that the red army, that we feared all these decades has stalled in a war with a small country for three years. you know, they thought that was going to be over in three. >> three weeks. >> three weeks. >> so they're not all that, are they? >> yes. no, no, i actually agree with you there, paul, because i think what we've been able to achieve in ukraine is something quite i mean, we have invested a lot of money and resources into it, but we have held back

russia, one of the most. powerful countries in the world at the at on ukraine. i'm not saying we're winning the war, but but we're certainly not putin, certainly not winning ehhen >> it just shows if people are defending their own home turf, they fight twice as hard. we saw that in vietnam and all kinds of. >> i mean, putin's lost nearly a million soldiers. >> there's a lot of people dying. >> it's a shame. >> it's a shame. >> that i want war to end. i don't i'm not i'm not pro war personally. but but anyway, look, let's move on because we've spoken so much about war gb news lately. but let's look, this is quite a nuanced one here. so mother jailed for here. so motherjailed for southport twitter post should be freed, says suella braverman. senior conservatives, including former prime minister liz truss, have called for the release of the mother jailed for a social media comment made in the wake of the southport riots. linda, what do you make of those comments? >> punishment was too harsh for this woman. >> it's a long time to be put away. >> yeah, exactly. when other people commit far more heinous crimes and don't get custodial sentence or certainly get a shorter sentence than her, but

she should serve some time, i don't i don't believe she should have got, you know, a non—custodial sentence. but someone should be sorting this out now because i don't think it was dealt with fairly. >> yeah. peter, we see these i just i'm so it upsets me so much because i constantly seeing these police knocking on people's doors for whatsapp messages, police knocking people's doors for social media posts. i think i saw today there was a 3% of all arrests made are due to people posting things online. that number should be zero, shouldn't it? >> we cannot discuss the lucy connolly story without taking ourselves back to that dreadful morning when rudakubana went on his murderous rampage. i know how i felt when i saw that unfolding on the news, and i, to a certain extent, have some degree of sympathy for lucy connolly, because in the heat of the moment she wrote something that was utterly vile and for which she needed punishing. but her punishment is utterly

disproportionate. when you think of all the stinking paedophiles that get in front of courts on a daily basis for possessing the worst kind of images, and they don't go to prison for one day. yeah, it is disproportionate. she needs to be released now. she's learned her lesson, paul. >> so you know, who is it here? suella braverman saying that she's a victim. lucy connolly is a victim of politicised two tiered justice. >> i fear that the problem here is people like suella braverman and others are using this as a political football. and i don't think politicians should have a say over what the courts have determined is a suitable. >> starmer used her as a political football. he started it. >> no, it.- >> no, no, it it.— >> no, no, it was the it. >> no, no, it was the courts that put her away. >> oh yeah. well starmer had no influence over that whatsoever. >> influenced by the prime minister. and you know, she did threaten, she did suggest that we should be burning down hotels. >> full of starmer influenced the courts. >> no. >> no. >> well, he did come out and. >> well, he did come out and. >> say what about when he. >> say what about when he. >> stood 24 hours a day, seven days a week? i mean, yeah,

obviously he does have some say in it. >> and saying that people will face the full force of the law. >> the law? exactly the law. >> the law? exactly the law. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> it's interesting. let's have a quick look at the observer here. starmer orders economic reset amid trump tariff mayhem. now i have advocated for a very long time that we need to nationalise or have some form of economic nationalism back to britain. we have sold swathes of this country out towns and cities. we've sold them off to foreign companies that have shut down production in this country, that have now. they might have seemed great at the time that we were going to privatise the country, and we're going to sell off and globalise britain might have worked very well for a little while, but it's clearly biting us on the backside. >> isn't it? now? i mean, frankly, communities in scunthorpe and port talbot in wales. >> well, i know what you do. you nationalise british steel. >> that's all you need to do, right? no, i don't even know whether it's too late now. >> i think it. >> i think it. >> should have been done years ago. >> yes, british steel this week. >> yes, british steel this week. >> and the water. >> and the water. >> well peter trump's trump's trying to bring back his part of

his tariff plan is to bring back production to america and revitalise so many towns that have been forgotten about. do you think we should do the same here? >> he's putting america first. i travel the length and breadth of the country, not only with work, but following my beloved queen's park rangers, and it grieves me to say that so many parts of this once great nation are absolute classes, right? dreadful economic deprivation, economic separation, ghettos, communities of one faith or another living in their own little enclave, no interrogation, >> making it worse. >> making it worse. >> with no integration, no integration whatsoever. there are there are there is chronic chronic social deprivation. sadly, in so much of our of our nation. and it grieves me every time i witness it. >> yeah. so just a little bit lighter because we've got more we've got more big headlines coming your way of course, because this is gb breaking at the moment. but let's have a look at the front page of the mail again here. because they're doing a 20th anniversary special. why sparks still fly in

tactile charles and camilla's marriage as as revealed to our royal editor by their close friends. you know, they do seem very loved up, don't they? these two. linda. >> i think this is one of the great love stories of the 20th and 21st century. i mean, there is no question that those two loved each other within months of meeting each other, and they were held apart by the royal family, who insisted that he married a virgin and someone who was suitably aristocratic to carry on the bloodline. and still their love prevailed. i think it's an extraordinary relationship, and it's built on humour and trust and a profound understanding of each other. and i think it actually it's a joy to see. and the queen, the queen was right behind her being made queen. >> yes. >> yes. >> she was, she said, you know, she is his pillar of strength. he is going to be king and she needs him. >> paul would make him. oh, go on, go on though, peter.

welcome back to you bet. leo. tonight with me, alex armstrong. we'll have all of those front pages dropping for you very soon. but first i am joined by deputy editor for the daily star on sunday, john ward. hello. how are you doing there? hope you've got you down the line. we do. hello, john. how are you doing? >> how are you doing? thank you for having me. how's it going? >> it's going very well. so far, so good. look, so we've got some stories we want to cover. the first one i just showed this a minute ago is how to become a better writer by writing in the news. i'm sure the audience are

gasping to know. do you want to lead us up on that one, john? >> well, it's in the express today. page three. i've just put my clothes back on because i've been writing all day. thank you. but just suggest that if you're struggling or having writer's block or struggling to write, maybe writing in the nude will help you out. >> what exactly are they? are they supposedly meant to be suggesting about this? because i think that would be terrifying, because there's a lot of people in this office who who write a lot of stories, and i don't know whether they'd be too happy about people writing in the new. i'm guessing they mean you've got to do this isolated. >> no. well, it's actually bournemouth writing festival. i think it's got something to do with the british naturism as well. >> right. >> right. >> but they're suggesting that agatha christie, ian fleming and victor hugo are amongst writers who used to write in the buff. really? yeah. and apparently christie used to soak in the bath while plotting her mysteries, and fleming would walk around naked in his jamaican villa. now, you're right. i'm not sure you'd want

to go and do it with a bunch of other people. >> yeah, not my cup. >> yeah, not my cup. >> of tea. >> of tea. >> not my cup of tea, john. but you know something for everybody, i guess. let's let's talk about champagne sales, because apparently they've gone flat in the uk. pun intended. oh, john, have we lost you? oh, i think we've frozen, unfortunately. well, let's bring in my fantastic panel and we'll talk about flat champagne. hopefully we can get john back at some point. i don't really know what to ask you about flats. >> well, what have we got to celebrate? what is there to celebrate? what is there to celebrate in this country? no wonder champagne sales have tanked. >> i don't need a celebration. i'm happy to drink champagne any time, day or night, whatever. whatever the reason. >> champagne gives me headache. >> oh, no. »- >> oh, no. >> i can't. »- >> i can't. >> have it. that's because you don't do enough of it. that's because you don't get enough. >> sparkling english wine, which is what they should be drinking from. from the great county of sussex. >> well, listen, this fantastic weather has obviously been very well, i'm sure be very, very good for the british vineyards.

john. oh, john's back. we've got john. oh, john's back. we've got john back. john, are you there? >> sorry about that. >> sorry about that. >> no worries mate, that's all good. this happens. tell us more about these champagne sales. we've been trying to ad lib it here on the on the panel. >> okay, well, apparently the lowest since the millennium. and maybe if you had the winner of the grand national, you might have opened a few today. i certainly didn't have it. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> well, they're suggesting that it's because cocktails are becoming more popular. prosecco and the likes. and i really can't afford champagne really, anymore. so sales you. >> i was gonna say you would have thought with all the good weather we've had, this is the perfect time to be growing, having a vineyard, wouldn't you? >> well, i guess, yeah. can you afford it? that's the probably the next. >> good point. good point john. let's move on then. so 1 in 4 people are arguing over their other half's dress sense. would you care about what your other half wears, john? >> well, i think it's the other way around. i've got a qpr shirt here in the back, but qpr has just been mentioned there by

people. but but no, it's our top story of the of the week. daily star sunday. yeah, 1 in 4 people have had an argument with their other half over the dress sense. do you know what the main offenders are? >> go on. »- >> go on. >> socks and sandals. oh yeah. cowboy boots. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> cowboy boots. yeah. apparently that's a no no. double denim white vests and beanie hats. well, i mean. >> i mean, look, i don't think you'd catch me dead in any of those things, thankfully. so i guess! those things, thankfully. so i guess i won't be having too many. my other half. i want to bnngin many. my other half. i want to bring in panel back. panel back in here. peter, you were just talking about your fantastic date night. i mean, you're very well dressed, man, so i'm assuming your other half never has a go at you. but have you had the odd argument about what you wear? >> oh, if i come home with something that sarah's not keen on, she will let me know. but it's interesting that john raised double denim, you see. right. | raised double denim, you see. right. i do like my jeans. and

for years i've harboured this this desire to own a denim jacket. but my wife has fundamentally put her foot down. she said you will not be able to carry that look off. so i'm not getting it. >> i can safely i can safely say i've never, ever cared what. i've never, ever cared what. i've been married twice and i've never cared what either husband wore, even though i did buy their clothes sometimes. and i've been out, obviously with a few people, i don't care what they wear. i only really care what i wear. >> yeah. paul. paul. >> yeah. paul. paul. >> well, my wife also called sarah. she stopped me tonight from wearing a rather nice purple jacket that i was going to wear. my son said, i look like willy wonka. and she said, and my wife. >> said, are you sure that's what you said? >> i think. >> i think. >> no, i think it would have looked good. i think it would have looked good in the studio. maybe next week. i mean, it's for tv, isn't it? >> yeah, exactly. >> yeah, exactly. >> but the two top stories that john spoke about, writing in the nude and drinking champagne. i think you should conflate the two and drink champagne in. >> the nude. >> the nude. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> right . before you write

>> right. before you write anything. there you go. thank you to john ward, the deputy editor of the daily star. thanks for joining us, john. brilliant forjoining us, john. brilliant stuff. brilliant stuff there. i believe we've got some more front pages for you. mirror the daily mirror, right. of course, they're leading with that bombshell story that's going to dominate headlines, i'm sure tomorrow labour mps child sex and rape arrests party suspends mayor after police raids his home. the sun on sunday. star thinks he's fabulous i'm the only judge on strictly tv. craig's astonishing attack on co—stars all interesting and the times sunday times they're leading with kremlin spy sensors found in british waters. they've also got an interesting story here. starmer to admit globalisation has failed as tariff war rages. don't tell me i write the headlines before they write them themselves. what else have we got? we got anything else there? that's it so far. >> yeah. oh, what about university is lectured on accent bias. >> why don't you take away with. >> why don't you take away with. >> that one? okay, well because they've been shown at edinburgh university that certain

lecturers within their, that body are prejudiced against people of the working class. now, i sometimes come up against prejudice because of the way i talk. i've got a clearly regional accent and sometimes people think, oh yeah, well he's got to be a bit dim up top and often that, funnily enough, could work in my favour. but there is, there's accent bias. i love regional accents. we've got such a great country with wonderful accents, from the west country to the north east to scotland to wales, every part of the uk not forgetting northern ireland. i love that lilt. we've got brilliant regional accents and there are not enough of them on our tv screens and on our radio. >> can i, can i agree and say you're absolutely spot on because i grew up in london, so i actually had a cockney accent growing up, but it was trained out of me because i was told, you won't get a job with that accent. >> shame on you. >> shame on you. >> yeah, well, i mean, i didn't i didn't train myself out of it. they they did. but we won't get into it. but, linda. go on. what do you think about accent bias? is it a thing? >> i've never really noticed it. and i do think there's a fair

spread of accents on television in this country, on television and in radio. i've got no objection to them. i like regional accents. there's no problem at all, as far as i can see. i don't i mean, my daughter did go to edinburgh university, so and she never came home and talked about accent bias. >> interesting. paul, what do you make of that? have we got an accent bias? >> well, the bbc famously had this sort of received pronunciation, didn't it, years ago when the english and the beatles would go on and they would interview them and people would interview them and people would claim they wouldn't understand what the beatles were saying, they'd be perfectly good engush saying, they'd be perfectly good english accents. so we have, thank god, left that behind. >> okay, well, i think yeah, i think we, i think as long as gb news we're the best. we've got reporters all up and down the country with a range of different accents on there. i think that's. >> as long as people are clear, it's fine. i mean, you know, i used to work for an american network at one point, and sometimes you used to get such strong accents, they had to run subtitles across the bottom of the soundbite. >> well, i want to stick with the times here because, you know, i have been saying this for weeks on gb news watch any of my stuff over the last few

weeks. starmer to admit globalisation has failed as tariff war rages. we were talking about this literally on this show today and i was saying globalisation has failed. we need to go back to one nationalised version, at least for our economy's sake. is this starmer pivoting to more trump pull? >> no it's not. i mean, it's about saying we do need free trade. trump is a torn up. the rules of free trade and free trade has done us a lot of favours over many years. it needs to be ethical. it needs to be fair. but, you know, putting up these protectionist barriers doesn't help anybody at all. but stonebwoy is saying, look, we need more trade with europe now. we need more trade with the commonwealth for africa is on the rise. yeah. the latin america we're going to need to look at relook at our relationships in the world now. >> well, unless we're china and all their cheap tap flooding into the country. >> flooding us, soon they'll be flooding the uk. >> well, they already. >> well, they already. >> have places. yeah, i think it will be worse because of the trump tariffs. i think they will they will come and look at countries across the in the eu will beg for it. and i think that's that's a real shame i

really do i really worries me. linda what do you make of this. starmer's good admit globalisation has failed. i mean, you could famously say that tony blair was quite a big globalist, isn't he? and this is a this is a striking change in labour's time. >> the fact of the matter is we're in a completely different era now. we've left behind the international rules based order, and we are now looking at a world that's dominated by putin, by the us and by china. and i lived in china, i lived in hong kong for five years. and although china many years ago did produce quite shoddy stuff, they have learnt and learnt and learnt and they are a power to be recognised. oh yes. you know, to be, you need to recognise their importance because they believe they are the next superpower. they probably. >> will be. >> will be. >> plenty of economists believe the same thing. no, they believed it already. >> right. well anyway, so we've got more to come on that we'll talk about this more after the break. but coming up, believe it or not, it's almost tea time really is. this has been leo tonight with me. alex armstrong

only on gb news. >> i forecast a perfect holiday in the sun. >> weather looking good. >> weather looking good. >> then for sure. and no worries about our travel insurance. >> allclear travel insurance sponsors gb news travel destinations forecast. >> although some of the sunniest and warmest weather across europe is in the uk at the moment, there will still be some fine weather for parts of spain. however, an area of rain is moving into portugal, madeira just about avoiding canaries for sunday. further east into central, eastern and southern spain as well as gibraltar, sunny spells showers for italy and for greece. not as lively as the thunderstorms we saw last week. then it turns a bit colder for italy and greece later next week. >> allclear travel sponsors gb news

>> this has been leo tonight with me alex armstrong only on

gb news. let's return to your front pages. we've got the independent. former mi6 chief says britain must get ready for war with putin sunday express the uk iron dome won't stop, won't protect us from putin. the observer. starmer orders economic reset amid trump tariff mayhem. the mail on sunday. starmer rocked as mp held in rape and child abuse probe sunday telegraph labour mp arrested on rape and child sex offences. of course everyone's going with that. some other interesting stories that we'll pick up in just a second. the sunday mirror labour mps child sex and rape arrests party suspends mayor after police raid his home the sun on sunday. i'm the only judge on strictly tv. astonishing attack on co—stars and the sunday times kremlin spy sensors found in british waters. okay, let's quickly have a chat about what we were finishing up

the story on the last. the last before the break there. starmer to admit globalisation has failed. i think this is huge. i think if the prime minister of the united kingdom comes out and says globalisation has failed, this is a change of our economic policy like nothing we've seen for decades. linda, what do you think? >> yeah, i think that's true. and i think that we will have to react in some way to what president trump has done. and president trump has done. and president trump has clearly instigated all these tariff charges because he wants to protect industry in the us. and you could see that from the audience in the rose garden that wasn't full of politicians, that wasn't full of politicians, that was full of paramedics, full of fire officers, full of police officers. those are the people he wants to protect. now, if he's doing that, we have to do something to protect ourselves. and inevitably, that leads to an anti—globalization kind of set up. >> peter. >> peter. >> so if globalisation has failed, is starmer going to reinvent british manufacturing? is he going to is he going to

nationalise british steel? are we actually going to start making things and selling things to each other instead of importing all that chat that i've talked about from china? >> yeah. well, i think that's going to be the key question is if globalisation has failed, what are we replacing it with? right. >> because i think it's about a new trading arrangements. we are a trading nation. we can't build everything here that we're going to need. >> but he's saying globalisation has failed. you can't just replace americanisation. i mean he could come out and say americanisation of globalisation has failed. but but what's the alternative? we're going to import, as peter said from china. >> no, we're going to have to reinvent our relationships with the rising african continent, with latin america and with you. believe it or not, europe. >> that's still globalisation, isn't it? that's still globalisation. >> trade and that's the whole of this nation. >> he's saying it's failed. >> he's saying it's failed. >> that's the. >> that's the. >> thing, right? he's saying it's failed. >> i would find it difficult for him to come out and say globalisation has failed, but we're going to cosy up with the eu and china. i think that would be a complete. >> antithesis of that statement point. >> there are more. there's bigger markets in latin america

than there is in northern america. >> so let's manufacture some of the things we need here. let's get some of those people off of the unemployment list. let's make some of those northern rundown towns, which grieves my heart to see. let's make them proud again. let's have blue collarjobs proud again. let's have blue collar jobs where people proud again. let's have blue collarjobs where people can collar jobs where people can have a career, earn a decent wage overnight. >> that's going to take a very long time to start. >> by the way, the last time america did this, of course, it led to a global recession. i mean, it was an absolute, you know, slump. yeah. >> so that's that's. what we have to steel ourselves. >> i highly suspect trump is doing this deliberately. i mean, it would make a lot of sense given the 9 trillion national debt interest rate that's going to hit them in 2026 to completely crash the american economy, to put it into a recession and pay lower, a lower percentage on that national debt next year. that seems like a very smart thing to do. otherwise, americans will be paying otherwise, americans will be paying out of their backsides for a debt. >> well. >> well. >> except the billionaires who back him have lost, you know, vast fortunes. >> he's doing it against them. really. i mean. >> they can afford to. >> they can afford to. >> they can afford to. >> they will tear. >> they will tear. >> him, but the markets will.

>> him, but the markets will. >> tear him down. they will. they will. >> not put up with him. >> not put up with him. >> they move in a in a cyclical way. so there is a market response to what went on to the tariff. >> was a massive crash. >> was a massive crash. >> there is a massive crash, but it doesn't stay that way. that's the point. >> it wasn't black monday. >> it wasn't black monday. >> was it? versus the economy. the economy is a different matter. m atter. >> matter. >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> and it responds in a different way. >> well, this dip does make it looks nothing like what happened dunng looks nothing like what happened during covid. of course we're talking you know, this is this is quite small in comparison. >> it's not small. but you know we don't. >> well it's relatively small compared to covid. >> into markets recover. >> into markets recover. >> but anyway listen we're not going to solve the market crisis here on gb news unfortunately. >> but how long have we got. well we haven't. >> got that long unfortunately. >> got that long unfortunately. >> paul. >> paul. >> let's take a look at a clip that caught my eye this week. really did. >> is that really it. yeah. did you not take that off of your phones? yeah. everybody hold your phone up to me right now. >> you didn't believe me. >> you didn't believe me. >> i did not believe this. i am in the uk right now and i swear to god, i thought everybody was lying to me. i know there is an

alarm that goes off. >> did you not believe us? you clock. >> our time and it reminds them to drink tea yesterday. >> yes, yes of course. the tea alarm. the national tea alarm. we have this. what's that noise? >> oh. >> oh. >> it's time. it's time, isn't it? guys, it's time for tea. it's national tea time. this happens, of course, every day. who we. >> got here? >> got here? >> right. >> right. >> time for tea time, everyone. wow. >> that's what i like. >> that's what i like. >> to see. thank you so much for. having me. >> i'm the host, so i'm pouring the tea. this is, of course, a great british tradition. >> excuse me, our american friends. >> where's the biscuits? >> where's the biscuits? >> no. >> no. >> this is not tea time. without biscuits. >> you're on a diet. >> you're on a diet. >> you need to learn. >> you need to learn. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you for. thank you for joining us. oh, we almost. louis almost took himself out on the way out there. but of course, this is the national tradition of british tea time. it's an alarm that goes off regularly throughout the day. we're having a little bit later today, actually, because we put a special request in for the royal family to change national tea

time to 1042 so we could enjoy this tea together, everybody. and i'm hoping that we can all. what's your favourite cup of tea, linda? >> i don't want to sound like elitist, but i do like lapsang. >> oh, linda . >> oh, linda. >> oh, linda. >> builder's tea. >> builder's tea. >> who's he played for? >> who's he played for? >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> well, i personally i love a yorkshire tea. that's my favourite. and i have that every tea alarm . of course americans tea alarm. of course americans are going are losing their minds because they don't realise we have a tea alarm in the uk and they're just figuring this out now that every day, as you saw in that clip, the brits have a tea time. >> stamp for tea every day. >> stamp for tea every day. >> absolutely. and you. >> absolutely. and you. >> know this. >> know this. >> when the alarms go off, we have to stop. the national anthem plays. we have those. we repurpose those air sirens. >> of course, to if it's good enough for. >> cricket, it's good enough for me. >> absolutely. and i'm sure there'll be many americans watching today asking when they can indulge themselves in british national tea time. and i tell you what, it happens every day. 1042 so i'm going to have a lovely tea break here with

peter, linda and paul. so coming up, though, we've got the big weekend fails. this has been leo tonight with me, alex armstrong only on gb news. we're going to have a spot of tea. see you soon. >> tomorrow on gb news breakfast. we've got a treat for you. >> it's me, angela rippon. >> it's me, angela rippon. >> forjust one morning. the broadcast and strictly star joins the breakfast team to bnng joins the breakfast team to bring you all the news as it happens. >> nice positive story there. >> nice positive story there. >> another special day here on gb news. >> well, we're still here after the last one. >> gb news breakfast with me stephen dixon and angela from six. >> yes,

country 11%. >> not as high as. >> not as high as. >> 11 because of covid. >> 11 because of covid. >> absolutely great i love honestly i love. >> like my midweek treat to watch those two. it's like a domestic i mean i don't know why they can't control themselves. richard holden was going red in the face. lucy powell spoke to him like a sort of a rather distressed schoolmistress. >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> my bad. >> my bad. >> but it's funny because these people represent us in parliament, you know, they can't even have a civil debate. yeah. i mean, one of the great things is that a lot of us, we might disagree on panels often, but we'll go out to the green room and we'll have a good laugh and and we'll have a good laugh and a good chat. and it's all it's all fun and games. we can just move on. but these people, they live and breathe. >> if i wanted to watch a row, i'd watch eastenders, not politics live. >> all right, who's up next to you? peter. that's peter. sorry, peter. sorry. >> what's in a name? >> what's in a name? >> i'm getting old. i'm getting old. right. go on. peter. sorry. >> justin welby, former

archbishop of canterbury. right. he has to resign in disgrace because so many victims of child sex abuse happened on his watch. and he just did not address the matter shamefully. so you would think after he's resigned, he would go back home, tend his begonias or whatever it is and keep his trap shut. but no, he gives a withering, pathetic interview to the bbc last weekend. >> you forgive john smyth? >> you forgive john smyth? >> yes, i think if he was alive and i saw him. but it's not. it's not me. he's abused. he's abused the victims and survivors. so whether i forgive or not is, to a large extent, irrelevant. >> yeah. i mean, i think it is irrelevant what he thinks. quite frankly, he oversaw a terrible time at the church of england,
