be sure, we're not conflating this with a general clampdown on social media because i'm just charlie rowleyo that. for that. yeah, stick to that. for that. i am completely in favour. there is masses of evidence that social media is damaging to children , and i could see it in children, and i could see it in my own children when they were playing on their iphones in a very benign way, without any of the having to put up with the vitriol and the and the sort of hate that permeates social media, just the distraction of it, the immediacy of it, the short term nature of it all, the buzz that they get from a one minute tiktok video which prohibits them, then from being able to read a 500 page book because their mind can't take that kind of concentration. by the way, i have trouble myself with 500 page books, but people do now . do now. >> many people very reason. >> many people very reason. >> yeah, and even i'm kind of hooked on it. so i'm completely in favour of if you can protect children from alcohol, smoking, sex before a certain age, not serving in the armed forces, not voting, and so on, i

let's talk to a former special adviser to michael gove , special adviser to michael gove, charlie rowleygood morning. good morning. >> good morning. good morning. >> can we actually ship criminals to estonia to serve out their sentences? >> i think it would be very difficult if this comes to fruition, just because of the amount of lawyers and legal wrangling that i'm sure are prisoners and would, would, would reject the idea of being sort of rounded up, put on a plane and shipped over to a foreign jurisdiction. so i don't think it's got legs. i can understand the appeal and if there are creative ways of perhaps if you are , for example, perhaps if you are, for example, going to be detained for maybe a very, very long time, if you are a serious, violent and criminal, then you know , maybe. but then you know, maybe. but i think if it's if it's a short term, if you're just looking at the prisoners that just want to see out the end of their sentencing, i think that would just be a step too far. >> is there an argument with this? because a lot of people have got in touch and said, what we've

if you are parents, i think i've got charlie rowley seat now, parents should should have children ifets are invariably expensive to have, and they actually they don't have the same parents, don't have the same parents, don't have the same autonomy with children as they do with animals. so i would say, yes, i agree with him on this. he's not saying don't have pets. he's not referring to j.d. vance's atrocious childless cat woman comments. but take it i say that, but i have been a little bit disturbed by the number of pet parents i've seen out and about in london these days. >> you see people with prams, with cats and dogs? no. is there not a substitution ? not a substitution? >> they send their pets to psychologists because they're worried about it and they're worried about it and they're worried about it and they're worried about separation, special diets. in the meantime, you know, there are people who have dogs who are just kept at home, are left at home for sort of hours and hours and hours. so i completely agree. but i actually think, i think, you know, to have people saying you

mark rowley, has recently introduced a hard line ban on officers wearing any badges, lanyards or patches which advertise causes, beliefs or charities. right. well, gb news national reporter charlieow. i mean, with this rule on badges and lanyards, you can understand it. when it's political issues. you can understand it when it's the sort of lgbt or pro—palestine or whatever else it is that the police need to be very neutral when it comes. i'm not sure this was what they had in mind when they were talking about this ban. >> i think some commentators and critics might ask the met, did you come down hard on police officers who took the knee dunng officers who took the knee during the black lives matter protests in 2020? or is this a only in one direction sort of ban on coppers wearing badges? and i have to say , speaking to and i have to say, speaking to some police officers this morning at a memorial i attended for a sergeant who was killed four years ago, people didn't want to touch on this issue, as you can imagine, but in the wider policing community, people have spoken to me about the timing being especially bad. they're making this edict, this new announcement in the last wee
