>> yes. >> my name is cameron gamble. i'm an international kidnapping ransom consultant.airman who makes a living training military, law enforcement, even private citizens on how to evade and escape capture. >> there was no idea or thought that if i think could work, that i was not going to try. >> gamble decides to post a video on youtube promising the kidnappers a payday. >> take advantage of this opportunity. >> but there is one very important condition. they must return sherri by the wednesday before thanksgiving. >> what made you so confident that this was an abduction and not something else? >> everything i looked at fit that bill. look at the husband. he wasn't faking it. look at sherri herself. this isn't the type of girl who is just going to walk away from all that. >> bring her home. bring her home safe. there's a $50,000 reward. bring her home. >> cameron gamble makes this public plea specifically to the kidnappers, and he says, "i will work with you. i will talk to you. i will negotiate this. contact me." well, of course they don't contact him. >> your critics

lot of people in his own party feel the gamble is irresponsible, as irresponsible as was david cameron's gamble in 2016 when he took brexit to the election and took to a referendum believing he would rin win that referendum and paying for it even now. >> if we look at not whether macron made the right decision for himself, but what are the french telling us about what direction they want the country to go in. what is the conclusion there? >> so i talked to a couple of french political leaders today. one of them in macron's party, and he says it's definitely about immigration. the lepen candidate said you cannot recognize france and that's a very almost racist, but certainly anti-immigration theme. also, the country's feeling more distant from paris, from the center, and mack rn is not a popular lead are. he's certainly not popular around countryside and are all thins calling it and macron gambling that people can cast a protest vote for a's european election which doesn't make much difference nationally, but they won't cast a protest vote for a pro-russian, anti-european party when it comes to

cameron. philip, welcome to the show. here we go again. it's gambling, it's betting.nsion there. doesn't this just paint there. doesn't this just paint the picture, david? that politics just like in the bad old days of the final days of the. the john major era, it's just mired in sleaze. politicians are just in it for themselves. they're up to their necks in it. and the and the voters are looking on and simply aghast, pulling their hair out. one rule for politicians, one rule for the rest of us. >> well , i you rule for the rest of us. >> well, i you might say that i couldn't possibly comment, but no, of course. >> you're completely correct, it looks terrible. it is terrible, i'm at a loss myself. just on the gambling point as to why politicians are allowed to bet on political events when, for example , jockeys are not allowed example, jockeys are not allowed to bet on horse racing soccer players or are not allowed to bet on the football matches, not just that they play in, but any football match anywhere . and yet football match anywhere. and yet we allow politicians

gamble. and, you know, i saw this morning someone likened it to when david cameron called the brexit referendumernal problem in the conservative party. and we know how that ended up for him. so, you know, it could well be the same for emmanuel macron. >> james, what the right is not advancing in this country. it might be in france and it might be in italy, but it's in retreat in britain. >> this is the great irony, isn't it? and of course, we could see, three weeks time. prime minister starmer elected on the 4th of july. and of course, you know, he the same week he'll be potentially deaung week he'll be potentially dealing with a 28 year old member of le pen's party. younger than me, who's going to be elected for a party which stands for everything in opposition to labour stands for. so quite hostile to islam, a very eurosceptic, very much on the right. and i think that's what's really the striking here thing in the uk. general election context is, is that as the rest of europe turns rightward, you've got maloney in italy, you've got the afd doing very well in germany, britain is only left and

potentially very serious because it could be a criminal offence if you gamble on something you have insider information about. you spoke to lord cameronor an honest debate on the issue. we have a number of proposals for bringing in more of a tax. for example, making sure that those oil and gas companies pay more of a windfall tax, that the corporates pay more, that those who have the huge amounts of wealth are targeted through a wealth tax. so, through a fair taxation system. and of course, nhs waiting times is a huge general election issue. in every manifesto. the royal college of radiologists has warned that long waiting times for cancer care have become routine across the uk. specialist cancer centres say they are experiencing delays most weeks for chemotherapy and radiotherapy. our health reporter jim reed has more. for some years now, all four nations of the uk have missed their targets for cancer treatment. this report from the royal college of radiologists warns long waits are putting lives at risk. in a survey of all 60 specialist cancer centres across the uk, it said a7% of sites were reporting delays for chemotherapy most we

now, the gambling commission is investigating this, craig williams has said he likes to have a flutter and he is co—operating with that investigation, interestingly, david cameron in that interview that we just heard a clip from earlier, and he said that because this investigation is going on he didn't want to comment too much on that, he said that craig williams would have to deal with whatever consequences they were but he did call it a clearly very foolish decision. yes, and let us talk about labour, because of course it is a huge day for the labour party and the manifesto is due to be launched, no surprises, we pretty much know more or less what labour are about don't we. . , ~ or less what labour are about don't we, ., , ~ ., or less what labour are about don't we. . , ~ ., , . we. that is right. we are very much bein: told we. that is right. we are very much being told to _ we. that is right. we are very much being told to expect _ we. that is right. we are very much being told to expect reassurance i being told to expect reassurance rather than revelation was the phrase i liked this morning about it and that is part of labour's plan, it set out its six s
