linda linda. and particularly thanks to the cullmanviting me to do this, bur the year so long ago that i got to spend here even more. want to thank dupont because for one thing. thisot mg+e to read your book right away. who knows when i would have got i'm yet and actually had a bi and. i want to s by asking you other people to think about the because talking using the term illiberal is, not common and. the way historians think about things. we have lot of other other labels, but it's veryilluminatio point that it is not oen very tk introduces to a new way to think about history. so i want to post you a bunch of that are hovering around this term. you did. w did you come to choose that term? how does it differ for conrv ofy seem evident. but to me i think it's not totally evident. if you. okay. so. those are great questions. let me just begin by thanking the center, salvatore gabbana, who unfortunately not here. laurennberg who was generously introducing us? paul de la dach, who is also a florida director. and the entire staff of the new york public library as we were here in a weird year, it was 20, 20, 2021. limited to the limited access to each other. which was really unfortunate because we were onheir work on zoom and like, you know, fabs . and yet we didn't really have much time to talk with each other. i dgetting to know a few people. but, you know, between the comments our staff and the the other people in the library, they really put themselves at a lot to help us. so i reall fellows who i did now a little bit and who in a variety of ways helped oin. now to your questions best to st answering them is to talk a little bit about how this book being. in many ways, i've been writinge historian but chiefly from the point of view of those were on the receivin end of illiberamovements. basically what in 20 1516, i was really struck by the reaction of journalists and other observers to who talked about how he violated wasn't sure what those norms were, but it was interesting that already 2016, just looking at the supreme court, that the supreme had intervened and determined the outcome of a presidential that in citizens had opened the spigot of big money, rights act and state legislatures across the country were basically mimicking what was happening at the end of the 19th and early 20th century and restricting i thought this is pretty obvious. somehow there was this, you interest and i tnkis in talkinge are these liberal there that se strong and enduring and you have a case where you know as in noxious ed growing you know out of the ground is sucking them up. so i decided, i thought i would, you know, maybe te writing about this. and then the question was,how wa project? because i really wanted to dsomt illiberalism, linda'sstion, you know, as a relati. so then the question is, well, basically is coming out and the end of th20th and beginning of the 21st century as a way of about this phenomenon historically. and i'm sure you know, won't convince, you know, some readers of of, youwisdom of that but w'l you know i will in a sbout what its aspects are is that i found it a very■p compelling schiff's concept that could encompass a variety of forms of disposition and movements that may that some to sometimes■ñ■ overlp with conservatism, but not always. they weren't always sometimes ts that we necessarily see that way. but nonetheless, that's how gs out. and it also flexible. so i time. i was really worried about telling a continuity story that this gets embeddedat's the way t plays out again and again and again was its future its features, which have to do with the of a assigned hierarchies f race or gender or nationality a belief inequality a interest cultural homogeneity, whether of race or nationality or re

linda jubilee. linda, what do you think about this? >> well, what i would say and i pay >> well, what i would say and i pay close attention to what president joe biden said this week when there's a balance between dissent and discord , between dissent and discord, there's a line between the two. and you have to find that line because you have to preserve free speech. but once it gets into the area of sowing racial disharmony, inciting racial hatred , etc, etc, you have to hatred, etc, etc, you have to step in and do something about it . and i think those protests it. and i think those protests really, really worry me. they there are many, many students there. they're well—meaning. they want to go and have a protest , but half the time they protest, but half the time they don't know what they're talking about. >> and that's the problem, including including covid, the queers for palestine, who don't realise that under hamas they wouldn't last five minutes. >> look, there's the there's the joy >> look, there's the there's the joy of being a student and we've. yeah. well, some i don't know if everyone went to university, but i went to university. definitely a period of learning in every sense of the word. i don't just mean there's the gory details. i'll share them with you later, mark, don't you worry. but the point is that you're there to understand. you're there to soak up knowledge, not to spout out your half baked opinions. yes, seek out the truth . yes. debate seek out the truth. yes. debate it. yes. understand the arguments. but this line that says that they're protesting about universities being complicit in war actions of war. well, let me tell you, students, your taxes go to pay for weapons. what are you going to do about that? are you in favour? are you going to stop paying favour? are you going to stop paying your taxes to defend the rights of britain and the values that we hold so there's an understanding of what exactly are you arguing for ? which are you arguing for? which position do you want to take? freedom of speech is absolutely sacrosanct, and i would respect that. but when you start saying that. but when you start saying that and pressurising universities to stop associating with certain companies, stop it because their research is feeding into certain parts of what they think is wrong, or banning speakers, banning speakers cancel culture. that is not freedom of speech. that's the complete opposite. >> well, do some of these extreme protests and the anti—semitism we've seen on campus and the cancel culture demonstrate that there is a sickness? chris wylde at the heart of academia? >> absolutely. i went to drama school, so obviously we would have campaigned in a different way with a contempt for dance. of course you would know. >> absolutely. you'd have dressed up and all the rest of it. >> listen, it's really worrying. >> listen, it's really worrying. >> i mean, you know, i've got an 18 year old boy who's who's looking at going to university. and it's just that rhetoric. it's just like really bitter at the moment. but i think this is what we've created. we've allowed this to happen for so long. and it's just where do you draw the line? a good point there as well. about university of being about free speech, but it's about soaking up that education, not going there to be kind of, you know, forced into these things. and i've seen people leaving university because they don't want to get involved. their education is going to, you know, suffer because of this. >> and they're not even briefly, lindae of them, they've got this software called chatgpt. >> and that really does bug me because great writing comes from great thinking. it's an important discipline to learn. just like you can't paint by numbers, you can't write by numbers. it's so infuriates me that people underestimate the skill and the talent needed for writing, just that you can go . writing, just that you can go. >> and do we need to rethink the idea that all young people have got to go to university, get themselves in debt, often just to be brainwashed by woke activists posing as lecturers? well, look new labour's fallacy of education, education, education and everybody should go to university is being found out over the last 1020 years. >> and expensive mistake. >> and expensive mistake. >> yes, absolutely. >> yes, absolutely. >> it should be a choice. it should be up to certain people. we should give the offer to them, but they shouldn't feel they have to go. and obviously, especially when they're doing courses at

linda: if president biden loses in november, can the democrats still retake the house? ms. delbene: first of all, i think president biden's going to win. linda: ok. ms. delbene: and i think that each of our races are unique races where the candidates are running and we have five seats where -- that we have that -- where -- in districts that president trump won in 2020. so all of these areas are very unique. these districts where authentic candidates win. and we're going to continue to fight each of those races individually across the country and i think you're going to continue to see us hold orpik out seats -- or pick out seats all across the country because of the great candidates we have. linda: does anybody else want to jump in? yeah, go ahead. >> dig in a little bit on the economy. polls show that president biden is not faring well with the economy. why isn't that resonating with folks more? and what do you have to do to kind of turn that trend around? ms. delbene: i think, one, folks need to understand who has done the work to help, for example, on those projects that are helping to fix roads, put broadband in place, all of that work was because of the work of president biden and democrats in congress. but you've all seen republicans go to ribbon cuttings and take credit for projects that they voted against. and we need to continue to make sure people really know who has done the work, they're making differences in their communities. and we have to continue to talk about the work that we still can do if we have a functional congress. there's a lot more we can do on issues of affordable housing or childcare, top issues that impact families. these are things where there are

linda murphy joins us now. linda, welcome. >> hi, thanks for having me, appreciate it. what is your reaction to what we are hearing from the whistleblower about what went down in your community? >> i am not surprised to hear it. we have not been getting the truth here this entire time. it was a refreshing surprise to see someone come forward and actually have the courage to tell the truth. this a plane should have been deployed from the day at the dae derailment on february 3. the epa official page delgado had a migraine headache had her phone shut off. she was in charge of deploying the aspect plane. the plane did not get deployed because they could not reach her. she has an assistant who is on vacation but she had her own shut off her days, days while our community is getting covered with these and dioxins and whatever else is going into the air from the original derailment there were many, many toxic car sitting chemicals on the original derailment date of february 3. that was deployed and flew over it would have seen the situation with the existing chemicals from the original derailment and it would have told us what the temperatures in the train car they were concerned about. there's only one train car ever in danger of overheating is what we were told. and then somehow, all five of them will release. which produces the gas and who knows what else on top of the existing chemicals that we were already dealing with. so, our community was covered and dioxins and chemicals like you would cover a funnel cake at a fair with powdered sugar. it is completely inexcusable how this all came about and was not handled the way it should have been. i feel it was a cover-up from day one and we are still not getting honest truthful answers. >> it want to show you and our audience with the epa is saying in response. epa region five in the midwest requested aspect to fly to east palisade late in the date february 5, 2023 as soon as the request was made the aircraft was deployed the same day from its home base in addison, texas to pittsburgh. due to low ceilings and icing conditions the flight crew made the determination the aircraft was unable to fly safely on february 62023, the day of the controlled burn. how do you respond, lindaenient, it is in a? i'm sure all flights were shut down out of pittsburgh regional airport that if are the same region. that's ludicrous it's another excuse that does not make sense in order to fit their narrative. we are just collateral damage. we are a small community and they needed to get the trains running. they needed to get their commodities moving. many people don't understand that's known as a key trade. mostly chemicals on that train. they just got dumped all over our soil and then burnt off into our air, into our own water. our fish were dead in the water before the vinyl chloride was released. joan of most people know that it was before that so the vinyl chloride was the icing on the cake that w is completely and totally unnecessary. there is a lot of scrutiny that he said he put on these folks, a lot. >> 15 months after this disaster how are you and your loved ones doing in terms of your health? >> it is different things. we have experienced a multitude of symptoms and the

linda how about yourself. >> good morning linda parker for l t b the founder i have been in california since 1981 came out for graduate school and in for 25 years since i got married i don't consider myself required i created my own business in 2006 and i do leadership development and consulting. and you know, i'm described as a trip threat i worked for apple computer as an aide and then google when i was in any 40s. which made me a - only two powers of people and google were reporting american and some small percentage anyway, i was 0 unicorn and now i'm still doing my own business at my open pace doing the things i enjoy i serve on a few board's i'll claim as served on a number of board of supervisors over the years because i enjoy working with nonprofit organizations like goodwill and spent a lot of time at goodwill in the center and tried to be an point with my purchase serving admit people and helping people do what necessary, do and my son is 21 so i learn a lot from him and on social media podium and now i use them god help me. you know, but somewhat row like it or not but have a son that age or child you feel this way too it keeps you current. that's me. >> thank you. >> so let's just start with an easy question. i think that you know, for me think whatever it is odd when i take a vacation i came back how will i get ready to retire to do what i want to do? i was wondering for you all at what age or who moment you start thinking about whether it is finance or health or like things you do when - that what time or age or moment you have when you think about retirement? >> anyone? >> i think for me it was a natural being in education every summer was a retirement and over september was a renewal so that i had the great principle and pleasure and not teaching summer school but enjoying life you know, progressives and my daughter is an education a psychiatrist and called the golden handcuffs because you have this job you work for a certain amount of time physically and emotional and supervisorial and thin you can relax for a couple of months like a retirement and come back to say that gave me a lot of practice at taking time off and doing what i needed to do recharging and coming back. >> so you know, i have a different view i signaled about retirement i don't think i ever thought i'd retire someone tell me a long time ago livestock unfolds in three stages and lastly, to safety officer. i coming from school but being a lifetime learner transition and earn bucks and make money and help my family be comfortable i moved into service early in any career service is the work i do and it is you know, whether or not i don't get paid or not a reflection of change in my values how i want to show up in the world and serve and . >> huh? and if someone wants to pay me that's okay. >> and later on you're working in a field and i came early my family is multi generational i had a wonderful cook was the first black women journalist and worked for the boys and graduated for the university of mini so the so i sat with her and spent the weekend with her and she was in her 90s and passed in when she was 98 she taught me about her life was that meant the impact of that that was her legacy i thought about what will be the legacy so put me on the path of this pretty early. >> for me, i had (unintelligible). >> for my cousin and brother and sister work and came to and went to work (microphone distorted) always had a formation about work i thought about retirement seriously in 2008, and was in financial health eda is came out with that idea you were from the hi paid will give you three years in aid and three years of service i decided to retire in 2008, as of the offer but more - because maybe three years older gave more service i retired based on that fact and also knew that um, and public health was hard the next a place was the health direct i knew that was not going to happen. >> as is i moved into my 70s a couple of years ago my wife of 50 years have you thought about retiring yet? i said no, i'm not ready to retire i feel like i have something to say still. writing a sermon every week for example, and also i don't know if i can afford so i'll keep on working until i can't anymore and one day i had a oh, huh? moment maybe i said what i had to say and consider setting that aside and not making that my main thing but also, we realized that in the time we left in my live things we wanted to do travel and seeing friends in different places around the world we have done a little bit before but want to do much more and shift gears and do those kinds of things. and so about a year about two years ago i started thinking more and more what retirement will look like and being at a financial thing the pension, benefits from my presbyterian church and social security and things like that and doing in on figuring out that and i think we can doe this and however like two weeks after i retired i missed writing so i upgrade back to writing but also realized that i enjoyed doing what was was doing and right now that is temporary for the pastors so kind like the flexibility of this going to colorado in a couple of weeks and going to go to new zealand in the winter that freedom makes a big difference. >> i want to ask you know, obviously we're sort of after post covid when that happened it go obviously did that give you an inch to do more and maybe my health i need to slow down and not do as much. did covid slow down i know for my mom she was like more fearless she's like i don't want to be occupied up and made many light bulb moment my life is shorter now and i should do more. >> well covid wasn't have that made me crazy i'm anyone that likes traffic and get out of country every year and i literally community-based nuts so the ability to traffic but i started taking long walks in the park near where i live in the bayview and kicking with nature and took up mediation the two things that saved me confined you know, would have been too much for me. >> i'm glad that is something that is very popular. >> yes. >> covid for me was a really looking at what had is important in our lives and any mother um, was one hundred and 4 i - she was one of the pioneers and had to maintain her life she was independent until she was one hundred in check up walking around and doing her grocery shopping we had to visit her and help her out with groceries that made us less carefully we had to go out and no choice but started delivering my partner and i started delivering totes seniors and a lot of people were more senior than we were we of the they needed the help and actually, we needed to do that and the fact we are very careful and therefore, be it resolved never caught covid 19 neither one of us did but able to take care of other folks we didn't stop but my mom showed us that you know, she was fierce in her on ways and lived life show kept going. >> for me, i run. so i had an opportunity to run in my neighborhood in outer mission and st. mary's park i run in that area and go run look the marina and got me out six the house and i got to know people had the connection i run a few times a week and run 7 mile and so that for me is the way i dealt with covid by having been a health professional and working with hiv and aids i saw a lot of loss families destroyed in some cases so some way that is a - i was able to recognize what did i need to be helpful for other folks and take care of me when it comas to helping other folks i'm helping them and it is not about me by about them. >> i like what you say. >> i like what you say about getting out and running i hate running though (laughter) but that's one of the things i realized and now in retirement is i really got sedentary in covid and sat around a lot and today, i'm finding that hard to maturity myself to get out and do stuff let's take a walk well. okay. but when i do it i'm glad but having to unlearn that as well as that sedentary lifestyle. >> but the health thing identifying is very important and we have to pay attention to that no doubt about. >> that taser into a what i was going to say one of my coping thing is music i started a church, i went to church and was the one that was singing that day she sank we can be kind. and so i started a play list called we can be kind so the music is note just the music i sing but dance also i have but with 24 plays listed one is room makes sense and resistance and one is sexy whatever. but anyway, i find i love to sing and caps to the music and reminds me when i was a teenager in the song and now, whatever we connect to my heart and my memories and the words of the music i think is good because i understand people with dementia can play and song and will remember the words; right? and the mules memory of the brain i think the music and the rediscovering music and reclaiming it in my life was huge and got me off the couple i didn't care before if people were looking at me before. (laughter). >> that's serious. >> one of the things we need the i'm part of the seniors drumming group i am we started zoom in covid but you can't drum during covid you're off and nobody can hear you, we met in the park and 10 feet away from each other and 20 people drumming that is the connection with people the we're far away and keep a distance really kept us going and in a year we began drumming in the park that was really, really wonderful and kept us sane actually. >> that is interesting that like i guess you know, we're hearing stories that made you help more people during the time like you know, downtime versus like i guess the notion that we need to help you know, the older people during covid and actually you stepped out and helped other people and you're like not about me but everything else and it is good you do that. >> one of the most important things health wise to be with people. loneliness will be continue to be a really, really bad thing for our society and in america. more and more people are living by themselves without connections to other people and we need to find ways to get out of that kind of thinking and with people despite our concerns about infection disease the downsize to that to that. >> and a - and the - about $24 million a year to nonprofits in san francisco and population is interested in serving older adults we have articulated that population and one of the reasons you said a was welcomeness and isolation and how to help others and providing nonprofit with the resources and some of the nonprofit we funds are doing emergency generational work it is critical for seniors to have interrelationships to the community and for folks to get resources available from us and really have to say we have to sort of push back against the devices (laughter). >> that you know, caterer us to kind of existence i'm not sure wasn't the solutions are to that. i get sucked into that really easily so how we can do the community in spite of our devices or incorporate them into our lives. >> i want to build on what you said the community because they need to be together is critical and i was conscious of kind of being with my tribe you know, whether that was with my church group or my community groups you know, that i am with. and you know, for better or worse helping each other we are all in the together for the families i was conscious of you know, keeping our eye on that on my family and you know, my sister one of my sisters has not come through as well, not coming out of the house and she's literally angled 10 years in the last two years of the pandemic. and so i'm conscious of everyone's mental health and the need you call people randomly three years but i pick up the phone and call them now to reconnect and check own all of that i think the conscious rebuilding and row claiming of our community and i know i refer to them as my tribe for whatever reason it is critical coming. >> i'm curious like do you all have subcontractors with other people regularly lying share whether that is personal stories or advise or more keeping with people. >> absolutely most of my work is gotten ordinarily working professionally has been intergenerational work it is important if i'm aging physically can't do things i mean, we have a daughter that is thirty and as many young people are doing but all my political work and community work is intergenerational and a conscious effort to do that and we learn from each other and especially for e pi young folks need to see they're future can be positive and as elders in the community we're not we are people see continuous and support and advise and listen and intergenerational work it is building community to cross over and help each other as elders and thanks or things to share as young people ideas and we teach all the technology things i don't know i'm asking how do you do this? so really, really crucial for our survival. >> which was the google a woman over 40 in 2007 i started there and i was on used to be the younger permanent; right? but there was the early and the group. people over 40 so i had to learn really quickly a crash course in how to stand back and um, be okay with a tower-year-old telling me what to do; right? and i'll say in general you know, please don't tell me what to do i've been around long enough to know what to do but you know, whatever when we think they came out of schools i can learn something in the folks the i thought i hired me for my experience and worrisome and in google nobody looked like me but since then wonderful to have done the work, work in cross generations and having a 21-year-old son was way a baby boermz but now i'm focused own young people the the other day there was a young african-american woman at another table so fm was getting up to go and this older woman i had a friendship with (laughter) limiting go over they're just to get to know her i feel i - we need each other; right? i know i need the i don't want to put words in your mouth full energy and so i thinking about my son. >> (laughter.) >> yeah and yeah. so, anyway that is really i cherish and a cherish kind of butt the might about elders and you know, one ev my son is surprised i say yeah on my play list and technology i'm always training people in my age group whatever the thing is to get more experience i like modern elders. >> one of the things i think i like about being a senior now is that i so we have worrisome a life of experiences and i thought about what those experiences mean not just experienced it took a lot about what any life is and find myself writing my memory jars but given all that i realize i have a lot to learn and to have an attitude of continually learn and not just sort of sitting back and saying i can get but for must new but having go curiosity to learn and the challenging assumes that you know, that i've you know, thought i knew that maybe i don't know but continuing to learn. >> significant thing. >> i was going to ask lindaurious were you always out going or talk to strangers before or is that something at an age i don't care what people think of me anymore (laughter). >> what's the benefits of getting older he grew up she i wouldn't talk to strangers and strangers or whatever but at some point i slipped by certainly i got in any 40s and now, whatever that i want to talk to last night - and you know, you know what that is why i guess part of the essence of life as you get older you're titled to that; right? and people like tony morrison and people you know, just who they are; right? and maybe that came with their age and being elder so i should mention people that are story tellers their life and connect with them and you know, i had those models. >> (multiple voices.) >> and when we approach as elders they sort of see us as harmless. >> right. right (laughter). >> that's true someone is sitting there and- >> (multiple voices). >> coming up to take. >> you're much more open to. >> my mother was like i sa

he can press it, linda, he has the number. even linda doesn't have it. >> donald trump just last month stating that only he and longtime adviser dan scavino could post from his social media account. today, his campaign was blaming a nameless staff member for posting a video referring to the creation of a unified reich and it's far from the first time he's invoked rhetoric echoing hitler's germany. we begin tonight with the next phase of the historic first criminal trial of a former u.s. president. that is because the defense in donald trump's hush money election interference trial rested its case today. and counter to trump's many claims, they rested without hearing a word from him on the witness stand. closing arguments are scheduled to begin one week from today, and before the jury begins its deliberations the judge will provide the jury with their instructions. that outline what verdict jurors should deliver based on what they determine to be true through the evidence that was presented. each word in those jury instructions is critica

linda sanchez knows this. linda sanchez who also serves on the ways and means committee and on the subcommittee understands how vitally important this is, and also that for more than five million of our americans, they receive below poverty level checks from social security having paid in to the system all their lives. and the majority of them happen to be women. and the majority of them, women of color. the gentlelady from california is recognized. ms. sanchez: i want to thank my good friend and colleague, john larson, who has been at the forefront of advocating for changes to the social security system that will ensure its longevity for the next generation and generations to come and increase the benefits for those that currently receive social security. in contrast, the republicans are proposing cuts to social security, and those cuts will harm millions of americans, but make no mistake, cutting social security is a direct attack on the latino population in this country. social security is benefits are a signific

linda moreno. linda, thanks for joining it might have to interrupt you as a new word comes from the courtroom. i'm wondering what if you've been listening to these closing arguments for why we can hear them, whatever what do you make? >> well, first of all i think that the prosecution would love love to have deliberating room full of your voices. the panelists, because it sounds like the prosecution is winning and i think they would be overjoyed by that. it seems to me that the first commandment of closing argument is thou shalt not or the jury we know that 100 years ago, clarence darrow, i did a 12-hour closing argument in the lobe and mode murder trial. now one and 2024 let's cut it down, folks and somatically, i think that the prosecution would benefit especially in front of the new york jury, to talk about. take a page from the alexander hamilton play, which is who was in the room and what was the motive here for, for donald term? >> it was to be in the oval office, to be in so then we take it back to the august 2015 rude where the conspiracy was hatched, and then back to in the middle of the closing, put the texts in the documents in the personal checks, et cetera. >> and, you know, mr. cohen as the repentance center and then you go back and you ended with the jurors who are in one of the most important rooms i'll ever be in their lives and their verdict matters. unlike many times in life where your vote doesn't matter. so there has to be more of a thematic sense here. i don't see it in the defense argument i just want us what's been going on, a timeline to telling you to the jury about based on raising doubts about this recorded felkel, michael cohen made same present. >> trump clearly has no idea what he's talking about. blanche says during this recording blanche is saying, raising questions about whether this recording is even about karen mcdougal at all. blanche says mr. cohen, president trump are literally talking past each other about what's going on. so he is hoping blend says trump is in real estate. he is hoping that jurors, once they are back, are going to replay this conversation and starts and think, oh well, was that 150 donald trump said, or was it something else that is this conversation, what it, what it was presented to us as blanche just saying you can buy a building with cash. it doesn't mean that you're going into the closing with a duffel bag filled with greenblatt and says blends, that was mr. cohen line to your painting, a picture that fits his narrative? not the truth, raising the idea that when donald trump in that phone conversation said cash meaning would make those payments to karen mcdougal and cash and michael cohen says, no, no, no. trump did and really mean cash. cash can mean different things in various trends transactions linda, just in terms of the level of detail going down into this kind of level of detail asking, hoping that george will replay this conversation in your experience. do jurors do that? do they go back to look at a lot of pieces of evidence, replay conversations. blanche is saying there's no scenario testimony in this trial that president trump is going to walk around with it double bag full of honor and 50,000 worth of cash i think it's to be expected after a long trial that the jurors may send out notes to see particular, perhaps some transcripts and reread the transcript, et cetera, but they have their own notes. >> and the truth is at the end of the day, you don't leave your comments sense at the door. for as a juror and the thing that is most compelling certainly about the prosecution, besides all these little details, is from the latin we bono, who benefits, who benefited from all of this alleged conduct, simplification is what's important in both closing arguments, but indeed, the jur

linda how about yourself. >> good morning linda parker for l t b the founder i have been in california since 1981 came out for graduate school and in for 25 years since i got married i don't consider myself required i created my own business in 2006 and i do leadership development and consulting. and you know, i'm described as a trip threat i worked for apple computer as an aide and then google when i was in any 40s. which made me a - only two powers of people and google were reporting american and some small percentage anyway, i was 0 unicorn and now i'm still doing my own business at my open pace doing the things i enjoy i serve on a few board's i'll claim as served on a number of board of supervisors over the years because i enjoy working with nonprofit organizations like goodwill and spent a lot of time at goodwill in the center and tried to be an point with my purchase serving admit people and helping people do what necessary, do and my son is 21 so i learn a lot from him and on social media podium and now i use them god help me. you know, but somewhat row like it or not but have a son that age or child you feel this way too it keeps you current. that's me. >> thank you. >> so let's just start with an easy question. i think that you know, for me think whatever it is odd when i take a vacation i came back how will i get ready to retire to do what i want to do? i was wondering for you all at what age or who moment you start thinking about whether it is finance or health or like things you do when - that what time or age or moment you have when you think about retirement? >> anyone? >> i think for me it was a natural being in education every summer was a retirement and over september was a renewal so that i had the great principle and pleasure and not teaching summer school but enjoying life you know, progressives and my daughter is an education a psychiatrist and called the golden handcuffs because you have this job you work for a certain amount of time physically and emotional and supervisorial and thin you can relax for a couple of months like a retirement and come back to say that gave me a lot of practice at taking time off and doing what i needed to do recharging and coming back. >> so you know, i have a different view i signaled about retirement i don't think i ever thought i'd retire someone tell me a long time ago livestock unfolds in three stages and lastly, to safety officer. i coming from school but being a lifetime learner transition and earn bucks and make money and help my family be comfortable i moved into service early in any career service is the work i do and it is you know, whether or not i don't get paid or not a reflection of change in my values how i want to show up in the world and serve and . >> huh? and if someone wants to pay me that's okay. >> and later on you're working in a field and i came early my family is multi generational i had a wonderful cook was the first black women journalist and worked for the boys and graduated for the university of mini so the so i sat with her and spent the weekend with her and she was in her 90s and passed in when she was 98 she taught me about her life was that meant the impact of that that was her legacy i thought about what will be the legacy so put me on the path of this pretty early. >> for me, i had (unintelligible). >> for my cousin and brother and sister work and came to and went to work (microphone distorted) always had a formation about work i thought about retirement seriously in 2008, and was in financial health eda is came out with that idea you were from the hi paid will give you three years in aid and three years of service i decided to retire in 2008, as of the offer but more - because maybe three years older gave more service i retired based on that fact and also knew that um, and public health was hard the next a place was the health direct i knew that was not going to happen. >> as is i moved into my 70s a couple of years ago my wife of 50 years have you thought about retiring yet? i said no, i'm not ready to retire i feel like i have something to say still. writing a sermon every week for example, and also i don't know if i can afford so i'll keep on working until i can't anymore and one day i had a oh, huh? moment maybe i said what i had to say and consider setting that aside and not making that my main thing but also, we realized that in the time we left in my live things we wanted to do travel and seeing friends in different places around the world we have done a little bit before but want to do much more and shift gears and do those kinds of things. and so about a year about two years ago i started thinking more and more what retirement will look like and being at a financial thing the pension, benefits from my presbyterian church and social security and things like that and doing in on figuring out that and i think we can doe this and however like two weeks after i retired i missed writing so i upgrade back to writing but also realized that i enjoyed doing what was was doing and right now that is temporary for the pastors so kind like the flexibility of this going to colorado in a couple of weeks and going to go to new zealand in the winter that freedom makes a big difference. >> i want to ask you know, obviously we're sort of after post covid when that happened it go obviously did that give you an inch to do more and maybe my health i need to slow down and not do as much. did covid slow down i know for my mom she was like more fearless she's like i don't want to be occupied up and made many light bulb moment my life is shorter now and i should do more. >> well covid wasn't have that made me crazy i'm anyone that likes traffic and get out of country every year and i literally community-based nuts so the ability to traffic but i started taking long walks in the park near where i live in the bayview and kicking with nature and took up mediation the two things that saved me confined you know, would have been too much for me. >> i'm glad that is something that is very popular. >> yes. >> covid for me was a really looking at what had is important in our lives and any mother um, was one hundred and 4 i - she was one of the pioneers and had to maintain her life she was independent until she was one hundred in check up walking around and doing her grocery shopping we had to visit her and help her out with groceries that made us less carefully we had to go out and no choice but started delivering my partner and i started delivering totes seniors and a lot of people were more senior than we were we of the they needed the help and actually, we needed to do that and the fact we are very careful and therefore, be it resolved never caught covid 19 neither one of us did but able to take care of other folks we didn't stop but my mom showed us that you know, she was fierce in her on ways and lived life show kept going. >> for me, i run. so i had an opportunity to run in my neighborhood in outer mission and st. mary's park i run in that area and go run look the marina and got me out six the house and i got to know people had the connection i run a few times a week and run 7 mile and so that for me is the way i dealt with covid by having been a health professional and working with hiv and aids i saw a lot of loss families destroyed in some cases so some way that is a - i was able to recognize what did i need to be helpful for other folks and take care of me when it comas to helping other folks i'm helping them and it is not about me by about them. >> i like what you say. >> i like what you say about getting out and running i hate running though (laughter) but that's one of the things i realized and now in retirement is i really got sedentary in covid and sat around a lot and today, i'm finding that hard to maturity myself to get out and do stuff let's take a walk well. okay. but when i do it i'm glad but having to unlearn that as well as that sedentary lifestyle. >> but the health thing identifying is very important and we have to pay attention to that no doubt about. >> that taser into a what i was going to say one of my coping thing is music i started a church, i went to church and was the one that was singing that day she sank we can be kind. and so i started a play list called we can be kind so the music is note just the music i sing but dance also i have but with 24 plays listed one is room makes sense and resistance and one is sexy whatever. but anyway, i find i love to sing and caps to the music and reminds me when i was a teenager in the song and now, whatever we connect to my heart and my memories and the words of the music i think is good because i understand people with dementia can play and song and will remember the words; right? and the mules memory of the brain i think the music and the rediscovering music and reclaiming it in my life was huge and got me off the couple i didn't care before if people were looking at me before. (laughter). >> that's serious. >> one of the things we need the i'm part of the seniors drumming group i am we started zoom in covid but you can't drum during covid you're off and nobody can hear you, we met in the park and 10 feet away from each other and 20 people drumming that is the connection with people the we're far away and keep a distance really kept us going and in a year we began drumming in the park that was really, really wonderful and kept us sane actually. >> that is interesting that like i guess you know, we're hearing stories that made you help more people during the time like you know, downtime versus like i guess the notion that we need to help you know, the older people during covid and actually you stepped out and helped other people and you're like not about me but everything else and it is good you do that. >> one of the most important things health wise to be with people. loneliness will be continue to be a really, really bad thing for our society and in america. more and more people are living by themselves without connections to other people and we need to find ways to get out of that kind of thinking and with people despite our concerns about infection disease the downsize to that to that. >> and a - and the - about $24 million a year to nonprofits in san francisco and population is interested in serving older adults we have articulated that population and one of the reasons you said a was welcomeness and isolation and how to help others and providing nonprofit with the resources and some of the nonprofit we funds are doing emergency generational work it is critical for seniors to have interrelationships to the community and for folks to get resources available from us and really have to say we have to sort of push back against the devices (laughter). >> that you know, caterer us to kind of existence i'm not sure wasn't the solutions are to that. i get sucked into that really easily so how we can do the community in spite of our devices or incorporate them into our lives. >> i want to build on what you said the community because they need to be together is critical and i was conscious of kind of being with my tribe you know, whether that was with my church group or my community groups you know, that i am with. and you know, for better or worse helping each other we are all in the together for the families i was conscious of you know, keeping our eye on that on my family and you know, my sister one of my sisters has not come through as well, not coming out of the house and she's literally angled 10 years in the last two years of the pandemic. and so i'm conscious of everyone's mental health and the need you call people randomly three years but i pick up the phone and call them now to reconnect and check own all of that i think the conscious rebuilding and row claiming of our community and i know i refer to them as my tribe for whatever reason it is critical coming. >> i'm curious like do you all have subcontractors with other people regularly lying share whether that is personal stories or advise or more keeping with people. >> absolutely most of my work is gotten ordinarily working professionally has been intergenerational work it is important if i'm aging physically can't do things i mean, we have a daughter that is thirty and as many young people are doing but all my political work and community work is intergenerational and a conscious effort to do that and we learn from each other and especially for e pi young folks need to see they're future can be positive and as elders in the community we're not we are people see continuous and support and advise and listen and intergenerational work it is building community to cross over and help each other as elders and thanks or things to share as young people ideas and we teach all the technology things i don't know i'm asking how do you do this? so really, really crucial for our survival. >> which was the google a woman over 40 in 2007 i started there and i was on used to be the younger permanent; right? but there was the early and the group. people over 40 so i had to learn really quickly a crash course in how to stand back and um, be okay with a tower-year-old telling me what to do; right? and i'll say in general you know, please don't tell me what to do i've been around long enough to know what to do but you know, whatever when we think they came out of schools i can learn something in the folks the i thought i hired me for my experience and worrisome and in google nobody looked like me but since then wonderful to have done the work, work in cross generations and having a 21-year-old son was way a baby boermz but now i'm focused own young people the the other day there was a young african-american woman at another table so fm was getting up to go and this older woman i had a friendship with (laughter) limiting go over they're just to get to know her i feel i - we need each other; right? i know i need the i don't want to put words in your mouth full energy and so i thinking about my son. >> (laughter.) >> yeah and yeah. so, anyway that is really i cherish and a cherish kind of butt the might about elders and you know, one ev my son is surprised i say yeah on my play list and technology i'm always training people in my age group whatever the thing is to get more experience i like modern elders. >> one of the things i think i like about being a senior now is that i so we have worrisome a life of experiences and i thought about what those experiences mean not just experienced it took a lot about what any life is and find myself writing my memory jars but given all that i realize i have a lot to learn and to have an attitude of continually learn and not just sort of sitting back and saying i can get but for must new but having go curiosity to learn and the challenging assumes that you know, that i've you know, thought i knew that maybe i don't know but continuing to learn. >> significant thing. >> i was going to ask linda i'm curious were you always out going or talk to strangers before or is that something at an age i don't care what people think of me anymore (laughter). >> what's the benefits of getting older he grew up she i wouldn't talk to strangers and strangers or whatever but at some point i slipped by certainly i got in any 40s and now, whatever that i want to talk to last night - and you know, you know what that is why i guess part of the essence of life as you get older you're titled to that; right? and people like tony morrison and people you know, just who they are; right? and maybe that came with their age and being elder so i should mention people that are story tellers their life and connect with them and you know, i had those models. >> (multiple voices.) >> and when we approach as elders they sort of see us as harmless. >> right. right (laughter). >> that's true someone is sitting there and- >> (multiple voices). >> coming up to take. >> you're much more open to. >> my mother was lik

which kind of sums up things sometimes, doesn't it? libby wilkes, the painting is doing what it should do. we're talking about it and giving opinions. just don't hang it on a red wall. >> yeah, barry

much sleep. >> god love him. >> god love him. >> you know, he was there, arsenal winning that . not arsenal winning that. not arsenal. man city winning that one. two nil, last night. and paups one. two nil, last night. and paul's going to be talking so let's recap, the big game last night, spurs against man city. it didn't go your way, but then you could argue that it did go here, that it did go your way. >> yeah. it's a you know, it's a tncky >> yeah. it's a you know, it's a tricky one. and this is the whole thing that spurs fans that there were some that would prefer to lose against manchester city. so arsenal then wouldn't win the title . and i wouldn't win the title. and i got to tell you it was a strange atmosphere there yesterday. >> well i watched up until half time nil nil at half time and quite a dull game. and spurs were okay i think until then. >> what was interesting, and i spoke to a lot of different fans last night, and each one of them said, so what do you think? and although a lot of them were saying before , they said, you saying before, they said, you know, before the game, i'm thinking, you know, maybe it'll be good to lose when you get there. and then when you get to there. and then when you get to the ground, then you find yourself in a situation you never want your team to lose. so it was slightly different now, what did happen is that after a while then once manchester city had gone one nil up and heung—min son had a great chance to make it one one, which is making everybody nervous , then making everybody nervous, then they went two nil up and then spurs fans. there was and this is in a lot of papers where you see them doing the poznan, you know when they're all bouncing which is and also singing arsenal sort of anti arsenal songs. but it was almost like a gallows humour. now i know that some people were going, oh this is just a pathetic losers view of what's going on and you can't carry on that way . and you know, carry on that way. and you know, you have to want your team to win. it was almost like they wanted spurs to win, but the game had gone and now it was like, okay, well look what we will take out of it is that arsenal are not going to win the title. so do you see what i mean? it was kind of yeah. now ange postecoglou, the manager of spurs was very unhappy afterwards. and i don't know exactly who it was with. but have a look at this. this is the press conference afterwards and this is what he had to say. >> i just think that's like i said last 48 hours has revealed a fair bit to me. and that's all right. that just means i've got to go back to the drawing board with some things. not interested mate. thank you. >> no. very happy, is he? i don't know whether it's about the attitude or something, but he wasn't happy. >> well, there we go. good news for aston villa. they have not qualified for the champions league. incredible. so they are top four. >> they are top four. so they last year they were seventh before that 17th. and this is unai emery. so unai emery and the irony is we're talking about arsenal. arsenal he was at arsenal. arsenal he was at arsenal. he got fired from there mikel arteta took over. but he's done an amazing job. and aston villa deserved to be in the champions league. so they're fourth and with spurs fifth. you know what? when it comes to the top, how many different teams do you think have been at the top of the league? top of the premier league this year? three been a lot more than that. so west ham, newcastle, brighton , west ham, newcastle, brighton, spurs, arsenal, manchester city and liverpool and liverpool were at top more weeks than anybody else, not manchester united. >> they're i don't know i'm just going to go down. all right. >> all right. yeah i'll keep looking. hold on. no no sign that says there's always the future. there's always the future. there's always the future there. >> are they playing tonight. >> are they playing tonight. >> yeah manchester united against newcastle tonight. last time newcastle finished above manchester united . manchester united. >> do again. couldn't. that was 1977. >> it was that long ago. yeah. so there's a very good chance because newcastle are sixth manchester united eighth. brighton are playing chelsea . so brighton are playing chelsea. so chelsea are also pushing you know they could end up. they could end up sort of fifth or sixth or who knows. so they're pushing they're having to run towards the end. so last weekend this weekend the premier league is all over. >> very good. tell us about the olympic torch i like a torch update and i think isabel would enjoy this as well. >> it's time to head off to the beautiful island of corsica . beautiful island of corsica. >> oh my favourite. >> oh my favourite. >> is it your. is it your favourite place ? do you know favourite place? do you know what they call corsica in lacrosse ? it's beautiful. they lacrosse? it's beautiful. they call it the beautiful island , is call it the beautiful island, is what they call it, i think. have we got. we got something of the flame. i think we can see the flame. i think we can see the flame. and the flame there that's gone over the water. look at that. beautiful. arrived in corsica, obviously next to sardinia , which is italian, but sardinia, which is italian, but corsica is the french island ajaccio. the capital, passing through the sites frequented by napoleon before he became emperor. >> that's nice. it was ronald mcdonald coming from there tomorrow live. >> i think that would be nice because there are over. oh, it's like ten, 11,000 people. i'm sure i'd get myself manners out a woman. >> stop it. it's like the mood police . police. >> yeah, they look like they're having a wheel on the side of the road there. >> what are they doing, man, i think, what are they? >> are they urinating at the side of the road? what? what? i just looked a bit. don't look at him. they're resplendent. holding up his olympic torch, but they don't get very long, so i think they walk a couple of steps and then it's over to the next one. over to the next one. okay so there we are. it was nice. it was almost like the houday nice. it was almost like the holiday program with cliff mitchell. >> indeed, indeed. >> indeed, indeed. >> but the holiday program, when i did it, i did it for six years. >> of course. yes, of course you did. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i was only looking at the i was thinking the original houday was thinking the original holiday parade, but then obviously they upgraded. they upgraded. thank you as well. they upgraded to you. that was in the fine years. >> did you were the days that was go off though. >> did they in the studio. >> did they in the studio. >> well he travelled the world. it was the holiday program. >> 7:00 bbc one on a monday night because it used to be a sunday evening, didn't it? >> did. >> did. >> and then when they upgraded to a monday night when it was so much better, lynam did it. >> des lynam did it. yes. des des as as des way used to say things like, i'm fed up doing this, give it to the irish boy, and he would pass the olympic flame to you. yeah >> and then what was the average audience on a monday night? >> 11.5. >> 11.5. >> 11.5. >> 11.5 million. >>11.5 million. >>11.5 million. >> unreal. >> unreal. >> so did you sort of, like, enjoy a holiday when you were there? would you go. so how long were you at each place for? >> it was always, oh, come on, you've told me that's not strictly true. >> well, i've told you you did get to stay in lovely hotels. >> i've never had a suntan working on the holiday program or sunburn or anything like that. >> and would they be my producers now? >> bored with this? he wants to go to the newspaper. >> oh, i'm not so holiday. you'd have holiday. would you have houday have holiday. would you have holiday makers all around you watching you do that? because it always seems like you're walking alongside the pool and people are just relaxing because everybody's. >> you had people who organised plate smashing there was a lot of traditional dancers and plate smashing. >> very nice. sounds like hard work. >> so if i do, i don't ever want to see another traditional dance or smashing or anything like that. >> okay. >> okay. >> all right, i'll keep quiet. we're going to be back with the let's go through the, the newspapers . now. we've got newspapers. now. we've got claire muldoon. we've got scarlett mccgwire. very nice to see you both, today, claire, don't teach children about changing gender. the education secretary, gillian keegan , is secretary, gillian keegan, is announcing this. my point about this is who told them to do this in the first place? exactly. the government try and make our own. nothing to do with us. we're going to change this. but it has to. yes where does it emanate from? >> yeah, of course it changes from a cult. you know, it's an ideology that people have been brainwashed into now. and thank goodness gillian keegan has got some or showing some leadership at last by saying, let's not treat children as if they're adults. let's treat children as children and the only sex education they ought to have is based on biological sex and fact . that is it. and i am as surprised as you that this is the headline news, because i would have thought this is the case in any event. and actually, i urge all parents to go to their schools to find out what is being taught on their curriculum if they're not happy with it. remove your child. i removed some of my children from some of the classes that were taught at their schools. that's called being a responsible parent. let's get common sense dnven parent. let's get common sense driven into schools and the curriculum and away with the ideological . ideological. >> i was contacted by a friend a couple of weeks ago. really, really good close friend of mine, messaging me, going, what do i do? my son is eight, same age as my son, and we've just been told by the school that they're celebrating lgbtq+ one month. it's not going to be just a lesson every day. and it involves everything from the spectrum of 79 plus genders. he's eight. >> that's not i mean, take them out. >> well, i said to her that it's just it's a really hot topic. if you are entitled to ask the school to see what you're being taught, and they're not allowed to be aggressive or difficult with you about it, but the government are saying 13 is the correct age to start talking about gender identity and simplify conversations around domestic violence , violent porn, domestic violence, violent porn, but actual sex education, the mechanics , the biology from age mechanics, the biology from age nine. what do you think about it all? >> scott well, i think i remember when i had my daughter. so my son was six, six and a half, seven, and so he must have beenin half, seven, and so he must have been in year, year two, and so the teacher did procreation , the teacher did procreation, because actually, like my son, lots and lots of his friends had had had younger siblings. it was done beautifully. i mean, i took my daughter in as the to baby show, to show. and i think she this isn't the ghastly bit of procreation, but it was sort of where babies come from. and it was lovely pictures, but hang on and but but so they were, they were they were six. >> it was perfectly reasonable where babies come from , as my where babies come from, as my children know that a baby comes from mommy's tummy. but do they know how it gets into mummy? so i mean, that is what my son is badgenng i mean, that is what my son is badgering me about all the time. he's eight. mummy, what are you saying to him? i say ask your teacher about the birds and the bees.1 teacher about the birds and the bees. i tangle myself up in knots. >> should actually refer your son to your husband because i think that's the key. >> my husband cannot talk about it at all. well, literally cannot, but i think if they're interested , i mean, if they want interested, i mean, if they want to know things, i think you have to know things, i think you have to do, they have. >> and they do want to know he's not going to go and tell everyone there are there are children at six and eight who are being taught about the vulva. >> but i'm not i'm not even sure where the vulva is and what the vulva is. >> oh, please don't turn that into an instagram meme. >> but i didn't say it. i see i didn't say it was you, and then you just didn't say anything about it. >> let's just clarify that. my daughter's just come home. she's six talking about what a vagina is an a vulva, right. >> we can understand the vagina bit, but why does she need to know about the vulva? why does she need to know about that? >> because it's biology. >> because it's biology. >> the point is that actually, that that children are asking questions and they want to know. children have always asked questions. >> she's enough to be given answers to remove their innocence from them, by telling them graphically and by what do you say though? >> if someone if you say is what? >> what do you say? you say nothing. i'm not talking about graphic. 1 mean, i was what i felt was that this that this young teacher was actually bringing into the class something really nice and really lovely, even though she was told because this was way back in the 80s, she was told that what she was doing was wrong and illegal, i think. >> i totally think it's lovely to talk about the baby bit, but i just don't know how you express to children about how the baby gets there under the age of nine. obviously it's consensual love because they're all babies come from love from age nine. you know, they don't come and you actually have to think about the teachers as well. >> and let's save them from horrible lessons that they have to give because they can't be comfortable doing it too. >> but, i mean, the other thing that we have, sorry, we've got to go. >> scarlet. we'll come back to you. let us know at home what you. let us know at home what you think. everybody has thoughts and opinions on this matter for crime, policing and fire is always a good man to talk to. >> chris. chris, good morning to you , now, chris, don't look too you, now, chris, don't look too serious here. i'm just saying, when you think of your age, you're a different generation than me . different generation than me. different generation than me. different generation than isabel, we're sort of all stacked in a row here. did you. do you remember sex education at school? and did anybody teach you about it? i thought volvo was a car. i thought it was an estate car. yeah. >> you know what? >> you know what? >> i have pretty much no recollection of being taught any of that, i did end up going to a boys grammar school, so of that, i did end up going to a boys grammar school , so maybe boys grammar school, so maybe that had had something to do with it. maybe. >> well, it hasn't held you two back too much, has it? >> i'm sure, but we're asking you this because sex education, the guidelines are going to change. this will be welcome news to a lot of parents, can you just explain to us exactly when these changes will come in and why it's taken so long for the government to wake up to this? because it's been on your watch, hasn't it, that a lot of political ideology has been forced down the throats of many state schools and schools, have been afraid, and indeed, parents have been afraid to question anything. so when will the changes come in and why is it taking you so long to make these changes ? changes? >> well, i think the report is due to come out very shortly. i'm sure that the education secretary will then move to make the changes quickly and look as a parent, as well. i don't want my children to be honest , to be my children to be honest, to be exposed to inappropriate content at a pretty young age. and i don't , nor do i want, don't, nor do i want, politically contested ideas like the trans issues being taught as if they're facts. i think, you know, childhood is a really, like, special time. and i don't think we need to introduce some of these ideas, too early . so of these ideas, too early. so i think the changes that are likely to come are going to be very welcome. and as i say, i know the education secretary will get on and do them as quickly as possible. and as a parent, i'm like strongly welcome that, chris. >> you're also tackling knife crime . and it's an interesting crime. and it's an interesting thing. there's a cash injection here, which i don't think is the really important thing. i think the important thing is how you're actually approaching this. the technology that you're introducing and, and the, the idea . that how you're going to idea. that how you're going to revolutionise how you identify knife crime and tackle it. tell us more. us more. >> us more. >> well, we're investing in a lot more technology. today's funding is only a very small part of that. and the kind of technology that can make an enormous difference includes things like , knife scanning things like, knife scanning technology. i was seeing a demonstration just yesterday in the home office of a handheld scanning device being developed by an american company, which could be ready to deploy on the streets, experimentally. this yeah streets, experimentally. this year. that will enable officers to, at a distance , scan people to, at a distance, scan people as they're walking down a street to see if they are carrying a knife. that could have an enormous impact on public safety. we're also investing in rolling out, live facial recognition and retrospective facial recognition . this is facial recognition. this is where, for example, we've been trying it in croydon, actually, which is the borough that i represent in parliament, setting up cameras in croydon town centre. we've got a list of people who are wanted for criminal offences, including, knife crime, offences, violence, drug supply, even offences including rape . and as people including rape. and as people walk down the street, you can scan them if they're not on the watch list, which you know would apply. i hope to you and to me and the vast majority of people, the image is immediately and automatically deleted, but if they are on the watch list, if they are on the watch list, if they are on the watch list, if they are wanted for a criminal offence, then it's the officer operating. the camera is alerted . they get pulled over in croydon in the last 3 or 4 months alone, over 100 people have been arrested who would not otherwise have been caught, including for knife related offences. so this sort of technology, knife scanning, lviv facial recognition has the potential to completely transform the way that we can keep the public safe and catch a lot more criminals , and that's lot more criminals, and that's why we're investing very heavily in it. and i'm personally really pushing it and making sure that police are adopting it. >> are you? because i feel as though that sounds like you're describing a little bit of a sort of big brother situation where people's faces are going to be scanned and bodies are going to be scanned from afar. i mean, that just personally makes mean, that just personally makes me feel quite uncomfortable. wouldn't it be more sensible to bnng wouldn't it be more sensible to bring back talk about knife amnesties or a sensible conversation about not letting underage kids onto social media, where the vast majority of these swords and other weapons are being purchased ? being purchased? >> well, let's take each point in turn. so i don't think this is a kind of these are kind of big brother measures. look, i mean, just scanning someone at a distance to see if they're carrying a knife is a completely reasonable thing to do in terms of the facial recognition . if of the facial recognition. if someone like you or me, one hopes, is not on the watch list, then your picture is immediately , immediately and automatically deleted. let me give you an example of someone that got caughtin example of someone that got caught in croydon using this. there was someone who had been was wanted for a double rape, the first of which occurred in 2017, so they hadn't been caught for seven years until the man walked past the camera and got identified. now that's a obviously that hasn't gone to court yet, but that is someone wanted for a double rape who would not have been caught, but has now been caught and if the if all that has to happen to do thatis if all that has to happen to do that is you and me get scanned in our picture, then gets immediately and automatically deleted. i think that's, that's that makes public safety a lot, lot better. so i think it does strike the right balance. there are all kinds of safeguards, you know, around around the accuracy and so on. there's some court cases that sort of set out the limits and how you can use it to make sure privacy is respected, but it really is working and it's going to it's going to keep the public and it's going to keep you and me and our families a lot safer. now, your second question was about online. okay. carry on. i mean, i mean, in croydon, in an experimental deployment, 100 arrests have been made in the last few months alone, just like in the last, since january, and those are 100 people, often dangerous criminals , including that wanted criminals, including that wanted rapist people who've committed knife offences , drugs offences, knife offences, drugs offences, firearms offences. they would not have been arrested. what if chris and they now have been? >> what if the people who are being stopped or being searched, who or, are being arrested over these sort of things fit the wrong profile if, if, if it's all you know, how badly derided stop and search was. i mean , i stop and search was. i mean, i speak from a point of view that, stop and search is , is an stop and search is, is an obvious tactic to me. being from northern ireland, you knew exactly where the trouble was coming from. you knew exactly who was carrying, who was likely to be carrying weapons, explosives , whatever. so those explosives, whatever. so those areas stop and search existed and oh my goodness me, it created uproar. even though that's where the trouble was coming from. you had to pretend it wasn't coming from. now you're going to face exactly the same problem here. >> well, actually, the i mean, the algorithm that does the facial recognition matching has been tested by the national physical laboratory , and there physical laboratory, and there is no racial bias in the system in the in the setting that the police use it at. and it's incredibly accurate. i mean, the false positive rate where it says that this is the wanted person, but it turns out when you actually ask them for their id, that they're actually not the wanted person. it's 1 id, that they're actually not the wanted person. it's1 in the wanted person. it's 1 in 6000 and actually in the which is much better than a police officer using their own judgement. and the only person in the croydon trial that was wrongly identified was the twin brother of the wanted person . so brother of the wanted person. so it's very accurate. i do, by the way, also support dramatically increasing physical stop and search as well. but you asked me a question about online knife sales, which i didn't answer a couple of minutes ago. so the onune couple of minutes ago. so the online safety act is going to be coming fully into force shortly. and that will essentially require a social media. companies like facebook and so on, can't rely on them to take steps to, to prevent. well, no, there will be legally required now for the first time to not sell knives, for example, to under 18 seconds. you're right. we can't rely on them. that's why we've legislated. and if they break those rules, they can be fined. yes, 10. >> they're just going to build that into their business models. it's peanuts to them. they can afford these fines. i really do think it would just be safer to ban phones for under 16. just really quickly, though, when you're trying to paint a picture of a party of law and order, it staggers and is beyond belief to me that you're releasing violent criminals out onto the street ahead of the end of their sentences, because our prisons are full up's all well and good. if all of this technology works, you've got nowhere to send them . you've got nowhere to send them. >> well, we've got so sentences are getting are getting longer. for example, rape sentences now are about two years longer than they were under labour. we're arresting more and more criminals. the police are doing theirjob catching record their job catching record numbers of criminals. their job catching record numbers of criminals . we've got numbers of criminals. we've got releasing them prison than we have ever had . well, some people have ever had. well, some people are getting release a few days early . i are getting release a few days early. i mean, if somebody are getting release a few days early . i mean, if somebody gets early. i mean, if somebody gets released a few days before the end of a five year sentence, you know, that is not a that's a relatively , you know, if we're relatively, you know, if we're talking about a few days here, nothing more than that. and 70 days, 90 days now being successful at so because the police are being successful in arresting more and more criminals and putting them , criminals and putting them, putting them behind bars, and as i say, sentences now are significantly longer than they were under the last labour government. and there are more people in prison today than there have ever been. okay. >> all right. we'll have to leave it there. chris philp, police and crime minister, thanks for your time this morning , just a quick word from morning, just a quick word from you, too, about, what you're heanng you, too, about, what you're hearing there, scarlett. and in terms of i'm actually i my worries are with isabel is i just everything seems to be. >> we're going into a big brother state and. and i find it really frightening that that wherever. i mean, it's so now i know if i'm in croydon, people are going to look at me all the time. and it's going to get everywhere. i think it's 1 think it's frightening, a quick one in 20s from you. >> for me, it's the storage of the data, the deleted data of the data, the deleted data of the facial recognition as well. there's this whole thing called honzon there's this whole thing called horizon planning. it's incredibly difficult to find out who's funding it. where is it going to be stored, how long it will be stored, and who's paying for it, and how you can trust them to delete it. exactly >> can you trust the authorities in all of this? let us know what you think. at home, quite a lot of controversial policies being discussed in that interview. really interesting to hear from you this morning. gbnews.com forward slash yourself. we'll have more from scarlett and clare a very good morning to you. welcome on board. it's 7:00. this is breakfast on wednesday, the 15th of may. >> eamonn holmes and isabel webster on duty this morning. the headlines are these knife crime crisis. the conservatives tell police to bring back. stop and search new strict rules for schools. >> teachers are told they must not teach about gender identity . not teach about gender identity. >> yes, the government trying to heanng >> yes, the government trying to hearing ourselves back clear dividing lines with the labour party ahead of the general election. they want more stop and search and they want primary schools to stop talking about gender identity. i'll bring you the details shortly . the details shortly. >> food bank use is at an all time high. official figures show a 94% increase in just five years. >> charity check chaos for harry and meghan as their archewell foundation has been labelled delinquent by an american authority . authority. >> and as liverpool city council is considering fines for badly behaved children, we'll be asking should parents be penalised for the actions of their kids? that's our debate and in the sport this morning, arsenal fans can throw their spurs shirts away now as manchester city beat tottenham two nil last night to go to the top of the premier league with one game to go, aston villa have now qualified for the champions league without, well, for the first time without kicking ball. >> last night. and rory mcilroy files for divorce on the eve of the us pga championship . the us pga championship. >> chilly and damp across parts of the east today, but for many there will be some warm sunshine. top of the temperature charts likely to be across parts of northern scotland again today. join me later for a full forecast. >> knife crime is rising every year since the pandemic , the year since the pandemic, the government has told police to increase the use of stop and search despite possible backlashes from campaign groups. >> well, this comes as the education secretary, gillian keegan, is calling for sex education to be banned for children under nine and for gender identity to be taken out of the curriculum. >> let's get more on all of this . an overall view now, our political correspondent katherine forster looking at this new initiatives coming in, catherine. >> yes. hello, both of you , >> yes. hello, both of you, interesting, wasn't it listening to what policing minister chris philp had to say just a few minutes ago, talking about the way they plan to use technology to potentially use as scanners that could tell if you're walking down the street carrying a knife, facial recognition, etc. and they do need to do something because knife crime is close to a record high, and it is at a record high in the caphal is at a record high in the capital. and so chris philp is calling for a big increase in stop and search. now this is something that under theresa may, about ten years ago, when she was home secretary, fell very dramatically because campaign groups said that black people were going to be were being disproportionately targeted. so the number of stop and searches are basically fell to a quarter of what they'd been in about 2010, 22, 11 to what they are now. and correspondingly, we've seen this huge surge in knife crime . and huge surge in knife crime. and so the government is having a change of heart. chris philp says stop and search is a vital tool that not is not used nearly enough. and that basically the police must use the powers available to them without fear or favour. what we can't do is tiptoe around those powers in an effort to appease. so this won't be popular with everybody . sadiq be popular with everybody. sadiq khan, the mayor of london, has said that he wants to reduce the use of stop and search. but the met police commissioner is saying no, we need more of this because look at the evidence. look what's going on in the streets around the country and in london. something needs to change. so the police often feel , uncomfortable. they feel that they don't have the confidence to conduct stop and searches and they're worried about community tensions. but clearly something has got to change. >> okay. and bring us up to date on these changes to sex education that gillian keegan's been bringing in. and this is a change away from sort of contested political ideology in schools . schools. >> yes it is. we expect to hear the details in the next day or so, whitehall says it's still being worked on, but basically a couple of fundamental things. first of all, potential ban on teaching children educate sex education before the age of nine. and the second thing is that a primary level primary and junior school children should not be taught about gender ideology. the government is saying that that is a contested subject that should not be taught. and in fact, a lot of the things that are sometimes being talked about in primary school now shouldn't be being deau school now shouldn't be being dealt with until children are in secondary school. so, that will please, i think many parents, not everybody , of course, but not everybody, of course, but some of the, you know, thoughts about many what is it, 72 different gender identities, etc. you know , a lot of people etc. you know, a lot of people feel that this is very confusing to young children , and this is to young children, and this is the sort of topic that should not be addressed in primary school. they want primary schools to stick to biological facts only, and it's interesting just looking at some of the views coming in as a parent, why does the parent not know what your children's buying on the internet? and lots of well, i shouldn't have read that one out, but lots of people giving us their views. i'll try and filter through some of the better ones a little bit later on. for now. catherine, thank you very much indeed, some of the better ones. this is the, the better ones. this is the, the portrait of the king. i just got that one of the newspapers said i think the difficulty is a lot of people can't see it. it doesn't sort of stand out, but it is beautiful once you get up close to it and you can see the detail involved. i think it's just i think it's fabulous. >> absolutely agree. i actually think it looks better in the frame than the way it is being shown in a lot of the papers, sort of just all red because it's got a very stark black frame, which really, well, i think frames it perfectly. nice one. yeah. let us know what you think this morning, figures from the trussell trust show that 3.1 million emergency food parcels were provided last year, with more than 1.1 million of those going to children . going to children. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> the director of policy for the trussell trust, helen barnard, joins us now, quite shocking when you hear about the increase in the number of these. and we know that people have been really struggling with the cost of living in this, i suppose , is the tangible example suppose, is the tangible example of how bad it's got for people. >> it is. but actually it's more than the cost of living crisis and the pandemic, because this trend was starting before even covid hit. so over five years, we found that the need has doubled the number of food parcels we're having to provide, because it's what we've really seen is the uncovering of a longer term crisis, which is dnven longer term crisis, which is driven mainly by our social security system not providing the protection that it should provide when times get tough. and any of us could need some help. but it's not currently doing that job effectively. >> helen, a lot of people are in a dilemma about this one. i would have been one of them before i started helping out at some food banks and seeing people . people believe they need people. people believe they need it, whether they need it or not. they believed they needed it. they believed they needed it. they really think those who are into it are into it big time. and it's wonderful to see just the relief that these give mentally, physically, financially and nutritionally for all of this . but the point for all of this. but the point i'm going to ask you is you will get a section of people who need food banks and won't use them, and you'll get people will say, there are people who use them that don't need to use them , and that don't need to use them, and there are controversial thing. what would you say to someone who's debating about whether to use a food bank or not? >> well, you're right, we find that people put off coming to the food bank as long as they can. so most of the time, by the time people do come, they are already skipping meals , going already skipping meals, going without other essentials. they're off. they're almost always in debt, they're behind with bills. and i think there's two things that happen. there is a sense of shame. people feel because they want to be able to support themselves, and they're just stuck in a position where they can't. and people often also will say, well, there must be people even worse off than me. i think i would say our food banks are there in communities for whoever needs them , and we for whoever needs them, and we will be there for as long as we're needed. but i think it's important to say that food banks are not the right solution to this. the problem we're facing is people not having enough money to cover essentials , to money to cover essentials, to afford the essential costs we all need, and we know food banks are not the answer. the public, when we polled the public, an enormous majority say food banks should not be needed in a modern society. people should have a decent income so they can afford those costs without having british charity, a british thing, do you know? >> and i'm just asking because, you know, last week we had great gdp figures. our economy's growing up by more than was expected. we're beating america. we're beating france and germany . i mean, is there hope that this is going to get better or have we become a nation that is in a sort of vicious circle with all of this? >> and we're not going to leave food banks again. >> food banks are here permanently. >> but do other countries, you say, well, i think what's really important is so if you look under the surface of all that economic status data, the long term trend is that we're seeing more people pulled into really deep poverty and destitution. >> so there's other research from the joseph rowntree foundation and others that have shown that over the last five, 5 to 10 years, there has been a really steep increase in the number of people facing very severe hardship . and i actually severe hardship. and i actually think we can get we can end the need for food banks because we've seen where we can make progress. so when we during the pandemic, when the £20 uplift was put into universal credit, you could see poverty fall. at that point when we've seen over the last year or so, every time a cost of living payment has gone out, there's been a dip in the need for food banks. so we do actually have the solutions. what we haven't got yet is political leaders who are stepping up to commit to taking the action. that can turn this around, because it cannot become around, because it cannot become a new normal, because it didn't used to be like that. it doesn't have to be like that. but we do need to act. >> but helen, it is going to become our new normal. they're not going away . i just cannot i not going away. i just cannot i see an issue. i've been involved in this extensively, in the manchester area, in the belfast area as well . and believe me, area as well. and believe me, this poverty is much more endemic than a lot of us would like to make out. it is, and i cannot see people who use food banks now, people who have got jobs, incidentally , we're not jobs, incidentally, we're not talking about people who haven't got jobs, not people who work hard and whatever. i just cannot see how folk can afford to go back to life without food banks . back to life without food banks. >> i mean, the thing that really gives me hope is that because we understand what's driving people to the doors of food banks, we actually know what needs to change. so as you said, we see people who are in work, but normally they're in insecure jobs. normally they're in insecure jobs . so they're doing shift jobs. so they're doing shift work. they don't know week to week what money they're going to have coming in. they're not able to get a steady income. now that can change. if we put in better workers rights for people at the bottom of the labour market, we see people who are at the food bank because they can't keep up with the rent or because they've had they've had to move lots of times because they're in the private rented sector. we can fix that by building more social housing. we see disabled people who are having to take months and months to get access to the benefits that will help them with their extra costs. we can speed that up . we can get people speed that up. we can get people access to the help they need. all of this is fixable. what it needsis all of this is fixable. what it needs is the political to will go out there and fix it. >> helen bernard, you are a very interesting person to talk to. you're the sort of person that can fix these things. very good to talk to you, helen. as director of policy at the trussell trust, and she's based in leeds. thank you very much, helen. >> the figures are stark, 1 in 3 children in this country now in 2020 for britain, live in relative poverty, 1 in 6 live in food security and pensioner use of food banks. banks is up 27% in the last year. there's something going wrong. the question is how do we fix it? let us know. have you ever used a food bank or are you of the belief? and some people i'm seeing already here, people just like free food. i would exercise a bit of compassion. i think it takes a lot of humility to go to a food bank. i think we should all be really thoughtful about this issue. rather than judging and casting aspersions on the edge thinking, i would like to or i need to, but i'm not going to. >> and those are the people to have the debate with and the talk with and what's your view on it? have your views on food banks changed or do you think, as isabel was saying, that, you know, to a lot of people they're just seen as freeloading? let us know, some other stories this morning on this wednesday, here's what we've got for you. the first official painted portrait of king charles has been unveiled at buckingham palace. it was done by the renowned artist jonathan yeo, who has previously painted the likes of sir david attenborough and tony blair. in the new picture , the king's hands sit on picture, the king's hands sit on a sword with a butterfly landing on the shoulder. this is a nod to his environmental work. >> in a new bid to kerb obesity levels, the nhs has started offering overweight men cash rewards for slimming down. it's been very successful, sending daily text messages offering men up to £400 to get fit. it was more traditional than successful diet plans and it's been nicknamed the game of stones and will likely be rolled out across the nhs following its success. let us know. do you think that's a good idea ? a good idea? >> tv presenter andrew mcparland has become a dad. his newborn son is wilder. has become a dad. his newborn son is wilder . patrick son is wilder. patrick mcpartlin, the geordie star and his wife anne—marie corbett announced the happy news on tuesday, with an instagram post that showed off ant's new tattoo tribute to. in a nod to his friendship with declan donnelly, the star has made dec baby wilder's godfather . wilder's godfather. >> and congratulations to them. a lovely bit of baby news. let us know what you think about some of those stories. i think they're quite interesting . why they're quite interesting. why is it particularly that men seem to be targeted by this approach of offering cash to lose weight? what is it about men versus women that means? but it's fascinating to me that it's only men. and also if we're talking about people being offered freebies and, you know, going to food banks, how do we feel as taxpayers about the nhs offering our cash to men, to help them lose weight? but if it works, it saves us money in the long run. let us know what you think about that. let us know what you think about the king's portrait. >> it's obviously some accountant sitting somewhere and says, look , to get somebody on says, look, to get somebody on a health and fitness plan with the nhs costs us, say, £1,000, but we can do this by just bribing them for £400. >> and that's , to me, what this >> and that's, to me, what this is about. but is that the right way? should there not be more education? >> 100% like, what is wrong with our psyche? and as no one else alive to the fact that on the one hand, we are being sold by the food lobby, poison day in, day out, and now we're being sold by the farmer lobby injections to help us lose weight. and at the same time , weight. and at the same time, the health service, which is designed to treat our our illnesses , is offering us cash illnesses, is offering us cash to stop us from using their service. the whole world's gone crazy. and i just sometimes think, what's going on? surely at some point we have to take some personal accountability for our own behaviours and stop asking someone else to pay us to change our ways or inject us or whatever else it is. >> that's the thing we don't take personal responsibility for what's gone wrong. everybody else's fault but our own, but ourselves, you know , any moobs i ourselves, you know, any moobs i carry about , i ourselves, you know, any moobs i carry about, i think that's the fourth time you've mentioned moobs this morning . moobs this morning. >> 716. you're into your moobs this morning. what were you going to say? any moobs that you carry, please continue. >> are my own responsibility. oh, i agree, they're not. >> they weren't placed there by someone else. >> i should do more exercise. i know i should. >> i don't have moobs anymore. i have a moob . have a moob. >> i have one a mono, a mono boob. >> my two moobs have become one one moob. >> well, you know, whatever floats your boat. sure. >> you know, please don't . >> you know, please don't. >> you know, please don't. >> okay, here's alex deakin. let's have a look at the weather. while you're looking at that, she can. >> no no no no, stop it. no no. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> good morning. welcome along to your latest weather update from the met office here on gb news. many places . having from the met office here on gb news. many places. having a fine day today with sunny spells and it will feel pretty warm in that sunshine as well. but some parts, particularly across eastern england, remaining pretty drab. rain and drizzle on and off across much of yorkshire, lincolnshire and into norfolk as well. a few showers scattered about elsewhere, some getting to the west of the pennines and maybe a few across the south—west of england. but many places here through wales, northern ireland, much of scotland will be dry. notice quite murky conditions on the east coast of scotland, however, ha returning here that's going to suppress the temperatures in the sunny spells further south. we could easily get up to 20, maybe 21 celsius. that mist and low cloud will be around then through the evening and overnight across the eastern part of scotland , tending to part of scotland, tending to come and go and as i say, suppress the temperatures. but generally a fine warm evening across the highlands. it may cloud over a little bit through the central belt. could be some patchy rain across southwest scotland this evening, most of northern ireland staying dry but maybe again here, clouding over a little bit. pretty dull and damp across parts of eastern england through to the east midlands. much of the south having a fine evening, just a bit of a breeze picking up along the south coast and say maybe 1 or 2 showers here. we'll continue to see some outbreaks of rain and keep the generally pretty drab conditions across the east coast of england. and that will last through the night and into thursday morning. temperature wise. well, we may dip to single figures overnight, but most towns and cities staying in double digits. onto the details for tomorrow. again a fairly grey start across much of northern england. rain at times here. more of it though, to the west of the pennines, and we'll see a bit more of that rain just heading into parts of northern ireland. south west scotland through the day. a few more showers in the south tomorrow. some heavy showers likely to develop by the afternoon. plenty of sunshine away from those showers and again a good looking day in western scotland, where temperatures likely to get over 20 celsius. goodbye >> that warm feeling

>> are you happy enough to go on houday >> are you happy enough to go on holiday with people who, you know socially or you've worked? >> it definitely does motivate a little bit of , you know, little

that's a good competition. that's a good giveaway thing there. you're asking a lot of you're asking about food banks. and sammy says , benefits should be tokens for food and essentials . , benefits should be tokens for food and essentials. instead of giving money away in benefits . giving money away in benefits. so they should be giving directly. i think the food banks are a winner, because a lot of the supermarkets are going to get rid of that food anyway. it's going to landfill and therefore it's been it's been used, it's been used properly. >> i think it'd be fantastic if a lot of the food that is not used by restaurants, cafes, supermarkets was then able to be redistributed to those who need it. all the homeless, i mean, it doesn't cost the taxpayer any money, so i don't know why people get so irate about this and people saying to me that i'm naive and people are just queuing up for freebies. be that as it may, why does it bother you if it's not costing you any money and if it's actually using says people will always use something that is free. >> i'm waiting for the beer and wine bank that will be a busy one. all right, we're back right after the break. we're asking if parents should be fined for their children's bad behaviour. next . nana liverpool city council is facing a bit of controversy after revealing it could resort to fining children as young as ten for anti—social behaviour. >> well, their parents, i suppose you can't find a ten year old. ten year olds have any money. >> you can. >> you can. >> you can. >> you know, like all these people say, oh, it's only a child. it's only nine. didn't know what he was doing. whatever it is, they do know what they're doing and they should be made to face the consequences. many people are arguing, if you do things like that, you unfairly target children and instead it's the parents, right? >> so it is the children that they're fining. forgive me, well, i was wrong. they are actually saying fining children as young as ten. how do they do that? >> but people are saying don't do that and find their parents instead. >> okay. right right. >> okay. right right. >> well, let's talk to parenting journalist annette kellow. she agrees that parents should face the blame, but mental health advocate ivana poku thinks fining children could help them learn their lessons . so you learn their lessons. so you basically both share each of our views , what? views, what? >> tell me. tell me about this business of how you think kids learn the lesson. because in today's world, children are made today's world, children are made to be immune from any consequences that that they do. so i actually like this that there is a consequence to, if they do something wrong. tell us what you think about this . what you think about this. >> i believe that there are many more factors that impact their behaviour . more factors that impact their behaviour. it's not just the parents. so that's my main on that's that's why i don't think the fining is the solution, because it's not just the parents, it's not just the kids. there are so many, many more like friends, school, online world and all this impacts the behaviour . world and all this impacts the behaviour. so i think the solution is in better education for parents and support in to how raise their kids, annette, i mean, who decides what determines bad behaviour if it's a child who's kicking a football against a wall because they've got nobody to play with and there aren't any local sporting resources or their football ground's being destroyed for whatever reason. we hear about this on this programme all the time, but it's annoying. grumpy old bones next door. you know who decides whether or not that's anti—social behaviour? and why should a ten year old be fined? why are they going to get money for. you're suggesting giving debts to children ? it's crazy. >> yes. well, grumpy old jones next door generally does not like having their windows smashed. and i'm sure a lot of other people don't like bad things happening to them. i personally have had teens in london who have said horrible things to me on the bus. i've had, teens say horrible things to my three year old. so is that okay? it's scary for people. now we have to remember there's been 193,000 anti—social crimes 193,000 anti —social crimes reported 193,000 anti—social crimes reported in london alone in the last year, and i personally think it's not good enough. now, if you look at somebody like mayor giuliani in new york, what did he do? his two words zero tolerance. you throw gum on the floor, zero tolerance. and he cleaned manhattan up. and i think somebody needs to do the same in london. >> what was said to you on the bus? >> oh, they said you're wearing too much makeup. >> so you think they should be fined for saying that? >> yeah. well, they started saying, oh, look at you. you look horrible. you look disgusting. they were getting up in my face that was threatening to me. they've just said too much makeup. fine. and then with my son, they said, oh, why is he singing? he's being too loud. they started swearing at him when he was three. i mean, that's to me, that's crazy . that's to me, that's crazy. >> okay. >> okay. >> what do you think of anna? >> what do you think of anna? >> i believe that the way many parents raise their kids these daysis parents raise their kids these days is not all right, because they can get away with a murder, basically. and i hear lots of even parenting experts saying that they don't give their kids consequences. they hug them when they do something wrong. and i'm not saying you should shout or smack your kids, but they should know there are consequences to their actions. so you know it's not black and white. >> the children have it too easy nowadays . do they have is the nowadays. do they have is the forgiveness card played too often ? often? >> well, i mean, if we're looking at a behaviour in children's and parents, i also think, you know, if a child was naughty at school, think, you know, if a child was naughty at school , say they, i naughty at school, say they, i don't know, did something really bad, stole the teacher's wallet, i'm not sure. kick somebody in the head. would the parent then say, oh, come and have a little cuddle? you've been a little bit naughty , let's just have a chat naughty, let's just have a chat about this. no, you'd want them to resolve it. you, you know, a responsible parent wouldn't want to see their child doing that. >> you're you're describing illegal things, stealing and assault. but what we're talking about here is anti—social behaviour. and i just want i still come back to the point who decides what, you know, activity from a child is necessarily anti—social. clearly there are things that they shouldn't be doing , like things that they shouldn't be doing, like perhaps smoking if they're underage in a public place or playing loud music or drinking whatever. but you know, are we really wanting to live in are we really wanting to live in a sort of police state where children who are already unable to go anywhere and be children are increasingly sort of penalised for being kids ? penalised for being kids? >> i personally think it's okay because i think a lot of people in london and i know people that walk around feeling scared in their city and even just like you're saying, the calling of the names, why should children be calling people names all the time? i don't think it's right. and i do think it should be cleaned up. and if we can't hold the parents responsible, they've got to try something . okay. got to try something. okay. >> well, what should the consequence be, folks? let us know. annette. ivana, thank you both very much indeed for your thoughts this morning, get in touch with us. everybody else, as to. are too we soft on kids? should they be penalties or should they're not? when i think of, when i was when i was young and you played football in the street and the awful thing is, when i look at it now, hitting people's cars with footballs and creating dents or scores on the paint and things , but it was paint and things, but it was that's just what you did. that's what you played. but that was an awful thing. i mean, the ball got into people's gardens is inconsequential. yeah, but hitting somebody's car with that just doesn't happen now because you can't. >> there's so many cars on the road, people. kids can't play out in the street anymore. there isn't so much space anymore for children. it is an issue. i'm not defending anti—social behaviour at all. i'm very strict . parents used to play, strict. parents used to play, but i think kids need to be kids as well. >> play in the street, and the lampposts were goals and things , lampposts were goals and things, and there might have been one car that may have got in the way every now and again. now there's no way there's three cars. >> no, it's a shame. >> no, it's a shame. >> and you can't do that. >> and you can't do that. >> thrash them. that's what i say, says phil reynolds. 1 >> thrash them. that's what i say, says phil reynolds. i knew you'd all bring back corporal punishment. some of you must have grandchildren . what do you have grandchildren. what do you think about all of this? you know, would you like to see your grandchildren being, given strict discipline in that kind of way? i don't know, let us know what you think. this morning, sport. next with paul coyte, it was spurs against man city last night. that was the big game, nice night for aston villa as well. as a result, we'll tell you. all right. so much consequence with the. the football matches that were played last night, paul coyte here to tell us, how it has affected the title race, sir, all the arsenal fans that were wearing spurs shirts for the first time in their entire life yesterday have now probably just chucked them out the window, because they spurs did arsenal no favours yesterday, although it was going to be hard. it was never going to be easy. it was spurs v man city, man city, the champions. they go to tottenham and should spurs win, well that would pretty much scupper. we'd say manchester city's chance of winning the premier league, but that team is a machine. they are a machine, they are a machine and this will make it. >> if they do win come the weekend and they take the title four years in a row, four years on the trot, it's never been done, never been done before. >> so they have to play west ham , at home, which you would think they would win. arsenal were playing everton at home. you would probably think they would win that too. so really it's a matter of where are we at the moment? and manchester city are now one point ahead. so it looks like it will be city that will do that. but it was an interesting atmosphere. you know, we spoke about that of how spurs fans would feel about the whole situation. some saying that, you know, we want to lose to man city. nobody ever wants their team truly to lose . but their team truly to lose. but their team truly to lose. but the fact that it was almost like, is there anything to play for here? and are we happy to lose to see manchester, to see arsenal not win the title? the answer for quite a few was yes and ange postecoglou was not very happy. no he wasn't, he wasn't happy. >> villa were winners though. last night. >> so therefore they now qualify for the champions league at the expense of tottenham hotspur. yeah. so i mean they've been brilliant and under unai emery it's honestly they've gone from 17th when he came in then to seventh now up to fourth. and just think they were in the championship a few years ago. so it's been a real success story. and it shows what a good manager and some interesting games tonight. >> you've got brighton against chelsea, you've got manchester united against newcastle maybe we've got the rain in our favour, maybe the leaking roof. i was terrible to watch that . i was terrible to watch that. you know it was humiliating to watch. i don't know if you saw any of the behind the scenes footage of dreams. it's just nightmare. absolute i think it's embarrassing for all of us as fans to think that's what our stadium has come to. >> i think so, but ineos, i think, are determined to try and sort things out . they're talking sort things out. they're talking about a new stadium. they've been landed with it. i know , i been landed with it. i know, i know, but you'd think all the money that was coming into the club, you're not telling me it's a poor club. they should be able to do stuff like that. but anyway, that's another story altogether. but manchester united could finish behind newcastle for the first time since 1977, just just a wee thing i want to say rory mcilroy, who i'm very fond of, thinks a great golfer. there's a lot of things go on. maybe that doesn't concentrate his game, he's filing for divorce now as well. this is the eve of the pga. >> yeah. i mean, it's sad. it's got a four year old daughter. he met his wife, erica. she was she was working for the pga. and actually, interestingly, when he met her, he was playing in the ryder cup and he was late for tea time . and it was like, what tea time. and it was like, what am i going to do? she sorted out am i going to do? she sorted out a police escort for him. so, i mean, you're going to fall in love and marry a woman like that. >> and when you say tea time, you don't mean like a sandwich and cup of tea. you mean a like and cup of tea. you mean a like a tee off time. >> oh, no. i mean, you need a cup of tea. so he was a bit late. he was a bit hungry that day. so she got a police escort to the cafe and then. and he married her. and then he married her. of course he did. okay. but anyway, bless him. hasn't worked out well. good luck to them. >> good luck to them. >> good luck to them. >> but, georgia, it's your birthday. >> let's do some birthdays today for the birthdays. oh. >> hi, isabel. hi, there. welcome to the party. >> this is the bit i can contribute to. know nothing about the sport, but do birthdays. >> star sign, would you be? >> star sign, would you be? >> well, i'm libra, but my personality type is more virgo. >> no, not you i'm talking about. if it was your birthday today. >> oh, you would be a, leo, a taurus, a tourist, be a taurus. >> i'm terrible at that. i wouldn't have a clue. >> i only know because it's my husband's birthday yesterday, and i know he's a bit of a taurus. >> he's a bull. >> he's a bull. >> is he the bull? taurus? the bull. the bull. right. first one please. who is it? how old are they today? you're not going to have any problem with either of these, i'm sure. who is that? >> sarah phillips? >> sarah phillips? >> it is? yeah. do we do? are we phillips or tindall? does she go with the phillips? she goes with tindall now. >> yes. yes. »- >> yes. yes. >> she wears great hats. >> she wears great hats. >> she wears great hats. >> she always looks well. very good. >> amte power eamonn 45. well, eamonn, you probably sent her a birthday card, didn't you? because she'd be pretty upset if nothing arrived. >> that's an interesting , nothing arrived. >> that's an interesting, age. isabel. yeah, she's a smidge older than william and harry. >> and i'm the same age as william. yeah i'm 41, so i'm going 45, but could be 46. but then she did have a baby quite recently , so maybe it's 43, 43, recently, so maybe it's 43, 43, 43. yeah, maybe i'm going to downgrade. i'm really sorry . downgrade. i'm really sorry. >> what are you going for, then, you've said 44, age 4443. oh, i'm so sorry . i you've said 44, age 4443. oh, i'm so sorry. i said 45 again. >> one more, one more. one of my favourite sportsmen of all time. let's see him, please. >> andy murray 3839 oh 3830. >> andy murray 3839 oh 3830. >> honestly, listen to you. >> honestly, listen to you. >> seven oh my god, where did that come from? >> he's a man old before his time. it has to be 37, 38, 39, 37 is my final seven. >> is your final offer? >> is your final offer? >> is your final offer? >> i would take him. i would say he's 40 something. >> no he's not i know he's not. >> let me just explain. right because he's a mature he's a man with a mature outlook and a lot of worry and things like that. but let's say 38, that's. >> yeah, the answer is 33, 37. i got there, honestly, both of you. >> well done. one all. have you got a decider. >> well you know maybe i'll have a decider later. but i thought the two. >> but don't put a picture of me up because you put a picture of me up and say, how old is he? and you know, people will say 48 and things and, and, and you know, it's unfair to people. >> i'm, 1 think i'm just covering up this because whilst you were doing the actual sport, i was quickly rifling through the papers and we're about to do the papers and we're about to do the papers and we're about to do the papers now, which is why. but i'm just doing a quiz back to you to guess how much to the british economy taylor swift's eras tour is predicted to bring. just guess. >> see all that's rubbish . >> see all that's rubbish. >> see all that's rubbish. >> this is swift anna mikhailova sees just guess to the british economy. >> how much ? >> how much? >> how much? >> one. >> one. >> well, how long is the tour? >> well, how long is the tour? >> oh, i don't know. let me quickly google, 1.2 million fans are going to watch our uk, which begin in edinburgh on june the 7th. doesn't say how long the tour is. >> right. okay. >> right. okay. >> but you know, just a significant thing. >> they call him a 100 million. >> they call him a 100 million. >> oh okay. >> oh okay. >> yeah. no a billion, a billion. can you believe that? >> apparently that's the same as was estimated to be spent on the economy due to the coronation of the king last year. so she's bringing it. >> i don't believe it. >> i don't believe it. >> don't believe it. anyway, it's all paper talk. >> it's all just a billion, billion, a trillion, right. go away . away. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> all right. that was very entertaining. >> i know, but it was. i felt a bit dismissed. >> no, in britain , we're going >> no, in britain, we're going through the, the newspapers, next. >> we're doing that with scarlett mccgwire and claire muldoon. so please join . us. yeah. >> anyway. >> anyway. >> the nhs , very heavily pressed >> the nhs, very heavily pressed as regards its funding and how that money is spent. scarlett what is the way? the latest way the nhs is thought of spending money. >> well, what they're doing is they're offering men fat men up to £400 to lose weight. and obviously it's a trial. and if it if it works , it will save the it if it works, it will save the nhs an awful lot of money because the problem with overweight people, not just men, overweight people, not just men, overweight people, not just men, overweight people, is they cost the nhs a lot. we're talking about hip replacement. >> you say they're overweight people , but yet this bribery people, but yet this bribery works better for men, men, men seem to succumb to money more easily than women. yeah. >> no, i mean, and this is so, so it's good that it's targeted. they're they're trying to make sure that it works and what they're amazed at is that how well it works. and although very few men who were on the trial actually got the £400, you do get a bit of money for every bit of every for if you manage to lose 5% of your body weight and because they're doing it in healthy ways, what they're hoping and this is over a year. so it's not like a crash diet and you because when the five two where you you , you ate for two where you you, you ate for five days and you starve for two men loved it and it was great. and they lost pounds and pounds and pounds and within four months everything principle. >> it's wrong, isn't it? >> it's wrong, isn't it? >> it's wrong, isn't it? >> i really hate it as a as an idea. not only is it unfair on the girls because they get left staying fat and they don't get the bribe, but, but i just don't think that's what i want. my hard earned tax to be spent on. >> so would you. how do you get people to lose weight? >> i don't know, because i think there is a societal problem in all of this, and i think it's much bigger than , food or much bigger than, food or weight. i think it's about, like doing the right thing, having a sense of like what's right and wrong. and i think that's gone. and i do think it boils down to really simple things like, you know, taking some responsibility for yourself. people become lazy . i don't know if people are going to hate me for saying all of these things, but i just i really do think we need to ask ourselves as a society, why we've got to a point where we have to pay people to not go to a kebab shop. it's mad. i think it's all of those things you said are absolutely correct. >> and it's incredibly difficult to treat the obesity epidemic thatis to treat the obesity epidemic that is actually global. i mean, people will eat, they will eat, they will eat, people won't exercise. and you do i think, have to take personal responsibility for your own health and for your own lifestyle. and i don't think by offering financial reward necessarily is the way to do it. >> eamonn wouldn't you prefer that our tax payers money would be spent perhaps on not dangling me and horrifically cheap poison to us in every petrol station, every place you go to a newspaper , everywhere. it's newspaper, everywhere. it's impossible. we're human beings, you know, a lot of us are working too hard. we're tired, we're stressed, we're eating our feelings . you know, we shouldn't feelings. you know, we shouldn't be tempted so much. i don't think number one. and wouldn't it be better rather than spending this money on bribing people? just saying that we should be putting a fat tax on or a sugar tax or, you know, all of these things. >> i mean, of course we should be. but in the meantime, right? you know, we are where we are. we have fat people , and fat we have fat people, and fat people cost the nhs a fortune. you're more likely to get cancer i agree, i know, i mean so actually what what they're trying to do is just end justify the means. >> that's what we're asking you the question claire. so if you have a problem with, hmrc. yeah. the department of thievery. and if you want to get in touch with them, you will find it very hard to do. why? >> because last year they kept people on the phone for guess how long in equivalent terms? 800 years in one year in one yean 800 years in one year in one year, 798 hours. people were left on the phone. it was ridiculous. >> aren't they going to close this year? from april to september? wasn't there a big story about how they're just not going to man the phones? >> no. and i think actually it was reversed because there was such a right there was good to no good a common sense because instead said they should hire twice as many people and answer the phone . the phone. >> scarlet they need to get people out from home and into the office and work, because a lot of these call centres are taken from home. oh hang on, wait till i get my dog sorted. is that the doorbell ? oh, yeah. is that the doorbell? oh, yeah. that's my amazon delivery. no. i'm sorry. get on with what you have to be doing and be there for people. people do want to pay for people. people do want to pay their tax if it's due and people need help in order to do it. and don't be punitive whilst you're there , enable don't disable. >> okay. where do you both stand on stop and search. >> i mean, i grew up with stop and search in northern ireland, i was very used to it. i was one of the sort of people that i was stopped. i was searched, i was asked questions, i answered them, i never got in any trouble. i knew lots of people who the police would say, where are you going to? and they would say, what's it got to do with you? and they would end up in the cop shop and whatever. as a result, it was quite obvious what would happen. it was also quite obvious that and it wasn't people in turbans who were planting the bombs and things. so why stop people in turbans and search them, but but it was easy to see who you would stop and search them from. what areas they would be from, and they paid dividends and results. but that was regarded scarlet as a discriminatory. >> well, there is a real problem about stop and search in london, because i think that young black men are five times as likely to be stopped. but then all that five times more likely to be carrying a knife . we don't know. carrying a knife. we don't know. actually, we don't know because they're the people who get who get stopped. but but given that there is a real problem about trust with the metropolitan police, 1 don't think stop and search actually helps. and i think i think that we all don't agree with you. >> i really just get it when people are going to get it through their head. if a person from this street, this area, this neighbourhood is more likely to be carrying a weapon of some sort, then you stop and you search them and everybody gets the message loud and clear. >> yes, well , i personally don't >> yes, well, i personally don't know why we're not talking about knife amnesties more. >> that was a big thing when i was growing up. we used to hear about knife amnesties and they were collecting loads of weapons. no one talks about those and also the banning the sale of them and not letting youngsters anywhere near social media where a lot of underage kids are getting these swords from. >> it's just absolutely appalling. but before that, before the advent of mass scale social media, kids were able to go into these corner shops and these pound shops buy these knives that were kitchen quality knives, and there was no, no. how old are you? show me where you live or whatever. there was nothing. >> hold that thought. we will continue it when the guys are back again. right now, here's the weather with alex. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar , the sponsors of weather solar, the sponsors of weather on . gb views. on. gb views. >> good morning. welcome along to your latest weather update from the met office here on gb news many places. having a fine day today with sunny spells and it will feel pretty

showers scattered about elsewhere , some getting to about elsewhere, some getting to the west of the pennines, and maybe a few across the south—west of england. but many places here through wales , places here through wales, northern ireland, much of scotland will be dry notice, quite murky conditions on the east coast of scotland, however, ha i returning here that's going ha! returning here that's going to suppress the temperatures in the sunny spells further south. we could easily get up to 20, maybe 21 celsius. that mist and low cloud will be around then through the evening and overnight across the eastern part of scotland , tending to part of scotland, tending to come and go and as i say, suppress the temperatures. but generally a fine warm evening across the highlands. it may cloud over a little bit through the central belt. could be some patchy rain across southwest scotland this evening, most of northern ireland staying dry, but maybe again here, clouding over a little bit. pretty dull and damp, of course , parts of and damp, of course, parts of eastern england through to the east midlands, much of the south having a fine evening, just a bit of a breeze picking up along the south coast and say maybe 1 or 2 showers here. we'll continue to see some outbreaks of rain and keep the generally pretty drab conditions across the east coast of england, and that will last through the night and into thursday morning, temperature wise. well, we may dip to single figures overnight, but most towns and cities staying in double digits. onto the details for tomorrow. again, a fairly grey start across much of northern england. rain at times here. more of it though, to the west of the pennines, and we'll see a bit more of that rain just heading into parts

sunshine away from those showers and again a good looking day in western scotland, where temperatures likely to get over 20 celsius. goodbye >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on to breakfast. very good morning to you. you are joining eamonn holmes and isabel webster. >> thank you for your company and the headlines this morning a knife crime crisis the tories tell police to bring back stop and search. we spoke to the policing minister earlier on the programme. >> my facial recognition has the potential to completely transform the way that we can keep the public safe and catch a lot more criminals, and that's why we're investing very heavily in it. i'm personally really pushing it and making sure that police are adopting it . police are adopting it. >> new strict rules for schools. teachers are told they must not teach about gender identity . teach about gender identity. >> yes, the government wants more stop and search and less a talk in schools about gender identity. particularly they don't want it talked about at primary and junior school as they seek to set out dividing lines before the next election. i'll bring you the details shortly . shortly. >> food bank use at an all time high. figures show a 94% increase in just five years. >> charity check chaos for harry and meghan as their archewell foundation was labelled delinquent by american authorities . authorities. >> a team of raf cyclists are paying >> a team of raf cyclists are paying a special tribute to those who lost their lives in the dambuster raids. more on that shortly . that shortly. >> and in this sport, it's advantage manchester city as they beat spurs to go to the top of the premier league with one game left of the weekend. it also means that aston villa have now qualified for the champions league for the first time, and ahead of his huge rematch with josh taylor, boxer jack catterall will be with us live. >> chilly and damp across parts of the east today, but for many there will be some warm sunshine. top of the temperature charts likely to be across parts of northern scotland again today. join me later for a full forecast. >> knife crime is rising every year since the pandemic, and the government has told police to increase their use of stop and search powers. despite a backlash from campaign groups. >> well, this comes as the education secretary, gillian keegan, is set to call for sex education to be banned for children under nine and for gender identity. identity to be removed from the curriculum. well, we spoke to policing minister chris philp about this all on gb news earlier. >> as a parent as well, i don't want my children to be honest , want my children to be honest, to be exposed to inappropriate content at a pretty young age and i don't , nor do i want and i don't, nor do i want a politically contested ideas like the trans issues being taught as if they're fact . if they're fact. >> okay, well, let's start with the stop and search issue with our political correspondent katherine forster. good morning to you. catherine it's been really interesting seeing people's views coming in on this. and i think melvin sums it up pretty well. he says it's better safe than ending up in a body bag. paul sayers pointing out what the police commissioner, mark rowley, has been saying that young black men growing up in london are 13 times more likely to be murdered than young white men. that's horrific. better that they're stopped and searched . stopped and searched. >> yes, exactly . there's been >> yes, exactly. there's been a real change of heart, it seems, at the top of government about stop and search because theresa may when she was home secretary, influenced by campaigners who said that black men were disproportionately targeted , disproportionately targeted, basically said that it should be used less and used very carefully. and so the amount of stop and search is only about a quarter of what it was in around 2010 to 2011. but in the meantime, knife crime has surged. it's close to an all time high. it is at an all time high in london now. the london mayor, sadiq khan, doesn't like it, says he wants to reduce its use. but the met police commissioner , sir mark rowley, commissioner, sir mark rowley, has said no, we need more of this because people are dying on the streets of london and around the streets of london and around the country, increasingly in broad daylight, while we saw that horrific incident in hainault only three weeks ago with a 14 year old boy murdered . with a 14 year old boy murdered. so the government are keen to have more stop and search. they're saying to the police, you have the powers you need to use them. what we can't do is tiptoe around these powers in an effort to appease those are the words of chris philp, the policing minister, that also announcing another £4 million to increase technology. things like, scanner wands that police potentially could use to scan somebody as they walk along the street to see if they have a knife on them. face recognition, because clearly something needs to be done. there's lots of concerns about community tensions, etc, but people are dying. so as the met police commissioner said , says they commissioner said, says they need to worry a bit less about upsetting people and a bit more about saving lives. okay, interesting . interesting. >> people will keep sending in their thoughts, and we'll try and read out as many of those as we can. what about this issue then, of sex education? at the risk of setting eamonn off on a bit of a karaoke rendition, there , what's gillian keegan there, what's gillian keegan proposing to change today ? proposing to change today? >> yes, well, this was supposed to be a big speech coming tomorrow, but it has been leaked tomorrow, but it has been leaked to the press. whitehall are keen to the press. whitehall are keen to say, oh, it's not finalised , to say, oh, it's not finalised, but basically two fundamental changes. first of all, she's going to be proposing a ban on sex education, under the age of nine. now, if you've ever spoken to children under the age of nine, plenty of them have got questions about how babies are made, but the government are saying schools have got to stick to biological facts only. and also specifically, they do not want primary and junior school aged children being taught about gender ideology. they say that thatis gender ideology. they say that that is a contested belief. they don't want young kids hearing about 72 different gender identities, that boys can become girls, etc. so i think that will be a relief to a lot of parents. and this review came about because of a question by miriam cates right wing conservative mp last year in prime minister's question . so you know all the question. so you know all the questions that you hear in pmqs, some of them sometimes do lead on actually to changes of policy. interesting. okay, catherine, thanks very much indeed. catherine, thanks very much indeed . now, nhs has warned on indeed. now, nhs has warned on average, ten pharmacies are closing every single week. >> this is just in england, but this can be reflected throughout the whole of the uk. pharmacists are having it bad now. >> we've been told so many times, haven't we, that the prime minister's mother or was it father, was a pharmacist, but this is a blow to him personally. only months ago he announced his flagship pharmacy first scheme, which allows pharmacists to treat common illnesses well. >> our northwest of england reporter sophie reaper joins us now to talk more about this , now to talk more about this, you're there, you're with a pharmacist. and just how bad is the problem? sophie >> well, it's incredibly shocking data coming from the national pharmacy association this morning. already so far this morning. already so far this year, 177 pharmacies closing their doors. that's just in the first four months. so joining me to take in this information is finn mccall, who's the managing director here at prestwich pharmacy. finn. it just seems absolutely unbelievable. what do you make of it? >> it may seem unbelievable, sophie, but actually it's only the tip of the iceberg. my fear, my greatest fear is this is going to get worse and worse and worse. it's bad for myself . but worse. it's bad for myself. but for many my colleagues, they're borrowing money from banks. they're remortgaging their houses just to survive in their pharmacy businesses . and we're pharmacy businesses. and we're in a very, very precarious position for this. >> and what's the crux of the issue? why are so many pharmacies struggling ? pharmacies struggling? >> resource are put in another way? funding in effect in 2016, the government cut cut the pharmacy budget and is since 2018. we have not had any significant rises in those budgets despite all the inflationary pressures that have been put on us. yes, we've had war, yes, we've had covid and yes, we've, but more importantly now we've got the inflationary rise in minimum wages and electricity and gas and everything like that. so it's really difficult for us to do this and to continue without funding from the government. i know you mentioned isabel there, the pharmacy first scheme that rishi sunaks government have brought in. >> obviously that's all well and good to talk about that. it's supposed to be taking pressure off gps and hospital services, but if pharmacies are closing their doors, how is that going to work? >> so it is taking pressure off the gps . we're working locally the gps. we're working locally with the gps, and indeed i know many of my colleagues are getting out of hours calls for utis and sore throats for patients to come and see us. so it's a very early days and it's a great start to that service. but it's the icing on the cake. and if the core funding for pharmacy isn't fixed, we're not going to be in a place to be able to do this as additional services. the difficulty with it is it's a new service to do so. if i'm struggling to buy the drugs to fund, to get to my patients , i don't then have the patients, i don't then have the time to do the additional services like pharmacy first. >> obviously, this is a problem that's getting progressively worse. the figures showing 2022, it was 91 pharmacies that closed and then yet last year it was 403 that closed. and clearly if it carries on this year it's going to be even worse. what do we need to do to tackle this issue? >> so the government need to fund pharmacies and indeed the whole of the nhs better. but in particular, i think pharmacy is the real case for that funding. not only were the only ones who stayed open through covid, now we're the only ones that patients can walk in and see us. but they're becoming very demanding and very frustrating because of that. so for our patients that are listening , patients that are listening, give us a break. we are absolutely doing our best to try and look after you. but it's really difficult to source the drugs, especially if i'm going to lose money when i'm giving it to lose money when i'm giving it to those patients. we're independent contractors and i have to make money to be able to pay have to make money to be able to pay the staff and the wages and to make the business run so to the government and to the treasury in particular, pharmacy needs funding , or you're going needs funding, or you're going to have way more closures than you have at the current minute. >> finn, thank you so much for your time this morning. you heard it here. pharmacies need a break. otherwise we're going to be in a very sticky situation going forward . going forward. >> absolutely, absolutely fascinating hearing all of that. sophie thanks very much indeed. what would we do without our pharmacies? can we afford to be losing that number every single week? when i think of our local pharmacy, it's kind of like the hub of the community. just next to the gp surgery. >> the thing i have at work, this has always been a government trait to use pharmacists on the cheap. so basically, instead of paying for nurses, instead of paying for more doctors and things, what they do is they give cash incentives to pharmacists and pharmacists to then take on these roles. do they do them as well? that's just the question. i'm only putting it out there. let's have a look at some other stories coming into the newsroom this morning. and we're going to look at this painting, this portrait of king charles. >> yes . this is the first portrait of king charles. >> yes. this is the first since his coronation. and it was unveiled at buckingham palace, painted by the renowned artist jonathan yeo, who's previously painted the likes of sir david attenborough and sir tony blair. well, in the new portrait, the king's hands sit on a sword with a butterfly landing on his shoulder in a nod to his environmental work. >> very nice . it looks, too, >> very nice. it looks, too, jonathan, we have to say. and you bid to kerb a city? the nhs has started offering overweight men cash rewards for slimming down the trial, which paired £400 to a man to get fit, was found to be more successful than traditional diet plans. it's been nicknamed the game of stones and will likely be rolled out across the nhs. following this success. >> ace and ant mcpartlin has become a father to his newborn son wilder. patrick mcpartlin and the geordie star and his wife anne—marie corbett announced the happy news yesterday with an instagram post showing off ant's new tattoo, which is a tribute to his family and, in a touching nod to his friendship with declan donnelly andindeed friendship with declan donnelly and indeed work partnership, the star has made dec baby. wilder's godfather wouldn't expect it . godfather wouldn't expect it. the weather's

showers scattered about elsewhere, some getting to the west of the pennines and maybe a few across the south—west of england. but many places here through wales, northern ireland, much of scotland will be dry. notice quite murky conditions on the east coast of scotland, however . east coast of scotland, however. ha! returning here that's going to suppress the temperatures in the sunny spells further south. we could easily get up to 20, maybe 21 celsius. that mist and low cloud will be around then through the evening and overnight across the eastern part of scotland and tending to come and go and as i say, suppress the temperatures, but generally a fine warm evening across the highlands. it may cloud over a little bit through the central belt. could be some patchy rain across southwest scotland this evening, most of northern ireland staying dry but maybe again here, clouding over a little bit. pretty dull and damp, of course, parts of eastern england through to the east midlands, much of the south having a fine evening, just a bit of a breeze picking up along the south coast and say maybe 1 or 2 showers here. we'll continue to see some outbreaks of rain and keep the generally pretty drab conditions across the east coast of england, and that will last through the night and into thursday morning, temperature wise. well, we may dip to single figures overnight, but most towns and cities staying in double digits. onto the details for tomorrow. again, a fairly grey start across much of northern england. rain at times here. more of it though, to the west of the pennines, and we'll see a bit more of that rain just heading into parts of northern ireland. south west scotland through the day. a few more showers in the south tomorrow. some heavy showers likely to develop by the afternoon. plenty of sunshine away from those showers and again a good looking day in western scotland, where temperatures likely to get over 20 celsius. goodbye >> that warm feeling inside and from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on . gb news. weather on. gb news. >> our competition today is our biggest cash prize of the year. so far it is £20,000 and if you had that £20,000, what would you do with it? well, the daily star is suggesting that we should probably get a shower in our loo or a bidet, and i have to admit, there's boffins who study , there's boffins who study, people who go to the toilet, bog boffins . boffins. >> yes. >> yes. >> okay. yes. and they're basically saying most people in this country do it all wrong, because when you go to the loo for a number two and you should be using a bidet and i, i think bidets are always made out to be odd and strange. and if it is now they're saying it's odd and strange that we don't use them, you don't use them, we don't have them. and also people who spend and i never understand this says you should never spend longer than a minute on the loo. you shouldn't hang around on the loo. you do what you have to do and then you're finished in a minute. but i never understand people who bring a book in there or a newspaper in there and are in there. >> obviously people have their different problems and some people need to coax and but some people need to coax and but some people take their time. some people take their time. some people hide in the loo, enjoy, enjoy going in there, closing the door. so what are you saying? if you won £20,000, you'd be investing in a bidet. i would write, you can have mine. i'm about to rip mine out. i inherited one with the house. and you thought . i don't even and you thought. i don't even like looking at it. to be honest, i actually put something overit honest, i actually put something over it because it makes me feel a bit sick. >> no, i must admit, i've never used one, so therefore i might have that reaction. >> that has to be said, but i don't like to think about them too much myself. >> but what they're saying is that when you go to the loo, yeah, you're doing it wrong. you should you should have a shower straight after it. now, i know, for instance, a very famous tv presenter. >> oh, no. where are you going with this? >> i'll tell you what he does. right. so he goes to the loo, and when he does that, he has to strip naked , like completely naked. >> but i know who you're talking about. >> but i know who you're talking about . would i know them? this about. would i know them? this person. oh, god. >> yeah yeah yeah yeah. >> yeah yeah yeah yeah. >> and, it's a strange. so basically , he has to strip naked basically, he has to strip naked and then wash himself afterwards. and that's what you've just got to accept. that's that's what he does. >> maybe he maybe he's just particularly bad work in. >> no, he i think i think it's, it's like a condition with him . it's like a condition with him. that he has to do that, and, and that's the way he does it. so what way do you do? you do anything different for your number twos? >> well, i think this is the most unusual introduction to our giveaway that we've done yet. >> but if you do get £20,000, would you spend it on what the bog boffins have been advising bidet anyway, or anything else you want? >> and here's how you win it. >> and here's how you win it. >> don't miss your chance to win our biggest cash prize so far , a our biggest cash prize so far, a totally terrific £20,000 in

big week for you, paul was just saying there . this is all about saying there. this is all about a split decision. the awful thing about this not only have you to go to a split decision, but you have to wait two years before you have another crack at this again. and, the guy, the guy involved in all of this, does that make this a real grudge match for you ? grudge match for you? >> yeah. it does. it's exciting. there's been times over the last couple of years that we thought the fight wasn't going to happen, it's been delayed a number of times , so it's going number of times, so it's going to be a big relief. and it's going to mean all that more now. now it's happening. and, we're only a week and a half away now, so it's all systems go. and do you have any contact with josh taylor at all? so initially we had a press conference a number of weeks ago where we, we spent a couple of days in each other's company , but aside from that, company, but aside from that, it's just been a lot of back and forth over the social media. >> i'll tell you what, jack. we see so much, don't we, in fighting, all goes back to our lee. and you see the press conferences, and then you think there's something between him . there's something between him. this this is real, though, isn't it? between the two. this is not just pantomime stuff, because there really is bad blood. and especially after what happened in that last fight, which is obviously upset, you . obviously upset, you. >> yeah, there's a lot of needle there, i believe i won the fight and i won the fight, clearly, along with the whole nation, josh thinks otherwise. and for that fact, we've not seen eye to eye. there's been a lot of back and forth, but for now, for me, now, it's exciting because we get to settle it and we get to settle it like men in the ring, on may the 25th. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> how do you how do you feel about about what's ahead of you? and, i mean, you feel hard done by. and that must motivate you, then to , to a big degree as then to, to a big degree as well. but what does it feel like knowing that you and the title, they're up for grabs and you've got a pretty good chance of winning . winning. >> you know what? it's. it's a strange feeling, but it's a good feeling because i know how hard i work every day i get up and i put the work in every day, and i don't feel sorry for myself, over the last decision . it was over the last decision. it was a frustrating time, but i've managed to compile that in a box now, and, i'm fully focused on the job that i've got to do. like i said, next weekend. >> so tell us a bit about yourself, jack. how old are you? where are you from ? why are you where are you from? why are you fighting in leeds ? fighting in leeds? >> so i'm jack catterall, i'm 30 years old and i live in chorley in lancashire, the fights landed in lancashire, the fights landed in leeds. the first fight we had was in, the hydro in scotland, in glasgow? yeah, no, i believe that the fight should be of a more neutral venue this time round. i travelled to his back garden last time, we couldn't get josh to agree to come to manchester, but we've come to terms and we've agreed to fight at the first directory in leeds next weekend , and it's, it's next weekend, and it's, it's sold out . over 14,000 tickets sold out. over 14,000 tickets have sold. so for that, i'm very grateful. >> jake. you're not still worried, though, even though we've still got a little way to go a week or so that he's going to pull out again because you've been upset so many times, haven't you? since the first one. >> yeah, we actually did some interviews a couple of days ago, and a third person, i sent him a message just to, just to make sure he was going to show up next weekend. yeah. >> and also, so what stage are you in at the moment? what do you in at the moment? what do you do? do you continue to train? is it usually the week before everything stops? i mean, what's going on with you right now? >> well, i start tapering on friday. i've got my last sparring session today, so i'm up soon having my breakfast, off to the gym. i've got a couple more hard days in front of me. and then from this weekend we'll start tapering into fight week. then where we step off the gas, we still stay switched on, but everything's geared up, gearing up towards saturday. >> but. but, jack, what is life like? for instance? what about eating and drinking those sort of pretty normal things for the rest of us. are you are you on a hard and fast diet or what? where you control that way ? where you control that way? >> yeah. so i've been fortunate enough. i've been eating very well, i'm on a diet. i've got nutritionists and chefs and, they've been working together. the diets. that's been enjoyable, it is hard work. and we're getting to the business end of it now. but things are good. i'm in a good place physically. mentally, and i'll be looking forward to enjoying myself after the fight . myself after the fight. >> this is a strange question, but i always wonder with boxers , but i always wonder with boxers, do you enjoy it? is it something that you enjoy? you get enjoy being hit? well, this is what i imagine. but if you're a professional boxer, you have great success and you have a career out. it this is why. that's why i quit before i got to the world title. and that was why you tell me, jack, is it something that you enjoy as a sport, or is or are you with eamonn? it's something that you absolutely cannot enjoy. >> firstly, i try not to get hit too much, but yeah, of course that's a good start. >> yeah , i've started boxing at >> yeah, i've started boxing at ten years old, so i've been fighting 20 years, for the last 12 professionally. >> but i enjoy it. i do it

looking? yeah, yeah, they just give me that advice. they said far too good looking. why would you ruin your face? >> i'd be like in that laurel in the old laurel and hardy stuff, or i'd be like, i'd just be running away. just running away. waiting for the bell to go. >> just some funny stuff. some funny stuff. there has to be said. very good. good man. thanks for that. good to see you. good. good to meet jack catterall. absolutely >> wish him well. may 25th. >> wish him well. may 25th. >> that was very good. right. we'll be knocking you >> here we go. we're going through the papers in the company of the journalist claire muldoon and former labour adviser scarlett mccgwire. welcome back, ladies. all this bidet chat, it's like it's broken. the internet . lots of broken. the internet. lots of you at home have strong views on this. i know that you've been raising your eyebrows and people talking about japanese toilets. they look like a toilet, but they're actually act as an electric bidet as well. they don't take up any more space and they have heated seats. apparently that's the height of luxury and they do blow things. i don't know, even just when you don't think you go any lower and they do all that. yes. anyway. so thank you for all of your. yeah. >> i think the point in the newspaper article today was it was basically saying that we don't make enough of the loo and we should be investing more in the loo, washing and cleaning dry, new and all that sort of thing, and that nobody should spend longer than one minute on, on, on a loo. so after you've done what you do, you shouldn't be any more than a minute after that. now it always amazes me, people that put books in their loo. i never see the point of all that. >> well, i think it's men. i mean, it's, it's, it's men who think . mean, it's, it's, it's men who think. right, this will take me 15 minutes. oh, golly. >> right . >> right. >> right. >> i couldn't even understand it. >> my, my father would go in there and it was like 15 minutes. you're quite right. and he would bring newspapers and all sorts of things like that. why would you want to? i actually worked when i was at and want to be there for longer. >> i remember being at bbc radio and seeing one of the older chaps there pick up a couple of papers, pop them under his arm and go off to the staff toilets, and go off to the staff toilets, and we would all think, oh gosh, oh yeah, grim. >> it happened. i mean, when i was at lbc, that's what happened. every morning with, with one of the news editors is, oh yeah, he, he takes the paper and say i'll see you later. >> oh and say i'll see you later. >> on great. well people take their phones and all sorts, don't they? it's best not to dwell too much on it. >> is this sexist, scarlett. france has urged men to drive like women. >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> as part of a new road safety campaign . campaign. >> we can multitask. >> we can multitask. >> women can't drive. >> women can't drive. >> claire martin. it's true, it's true. i'm kidding me. >> personally, i'm a really good driver. >> but obviously she's the exception. >> you have literally just evicted yourself from the sisterhood. i don't care, women really are really bad drivers. except for you. the bad drivers that i know , and none of them that i know, and none of them are women. i don't know any bad female drivers. the only bad drivers i know are men. they're not. >> they're not. do you not find women drivers too slow, too cautious to that? i tell you what, women really are bad at parking . no, they can't judge parking. no, they can't judge the size of a car. >> but my husband gets out of the car so i can park it for him. >> but that's why in france, because of the cautious, the problem is, is that is that france, the french? >> that's the problem with women without lots of sexism , racism here. >> the problem in france is that their death rate is it's the death rate. 3000 drivers. three. there are 3000 deaths on the roads every year, which is about double the amount in britain, even though, to be fair, they do drive on the wrong side of the road though, of course. but what they think is the problem is french men who drive macho and have to and have to drive very fast and have to show off. and so they do. they've got a campaign called drive like a woman or as they say in french, conduhes woman or as they say in french, conduites comme la femme . okay, conduites comme la femme. okay, they think that will cut driving. >> but do you know what in london we don't need that because london we've got sadiq khan and he's forcing everyone to drive like a woman at 20 miles an hour. can't know where to park. >> i can't believe you're taking down women with the signs. >> i know, but also the way claire says that she's exceptional is i am i am a woman driver. >> and yes. >> and yes. >> are you a good driver? >> are you a good driver? >> scarlett? i'm competent. right. >> of the three females here, we're good drivers . yeah. so we're good drivers. yeah. so that'll do for me, female drivers as well. tell you what women do not do, they do not honk their horns, i do. well, no, you're the exception, man. man. particularly in london and particularly men of a foreign disposition . so if you're in disposition. so if you're in cairo, you expect this. if you're in rome, if you're in paris. yeah. what is the bloomin obsession with heading a horn all the time? what is the obsession where is the last time you used your horn? or you needed to use it and yet some people have their hand constantly on it. you're not your horn. >> i'm not particularly horny person, but my son does bellow from the back of the car and he goes honk at him, mum honk at him and i'm like, calm down in the back . the back. >> goodness me, i know i never think fast enough to sort of go like that. i just, i think fast enough to sort of go like that. ijust, i mean, i do swear at people, but obviously they don't hear it just as well. >> chatbox let's talk about those. claire. yeah, the stars reporting today is that, chat bots. i'm not exactly sure what a chat bot is, but it's a sort of, a human formal. >> yeah, it's artificial intelligence . intelligence. >> and the idea it becomes your boyfriend or girlfriend . boyfriend or girlfriend. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> isn't that really weird? i mean, they get flirty with you, they can, you know, start having, you know, hot chats with you and do, you know, get you in the mood or whatever. it's absolutely incredible that this is going on. you imagine maybe that's what men need then maybe they need these flirty chat bots when they're driving their car to kind of like, slow everything down. >> have you used one? >> have you used one? >> no, i haven't. i'm just asking you. >> no, i haven't. >> no, i haven't. >> and would you not. >> and would you not. >> no, i wouldn't, i don't think you should no i shouldn't okay. >> do you think i should. >> do you think i should. >> no ijust >> do you think i should. >> no i just i think it'd be a very lucky chat box. >> that's what i think. >> that's what i think. >> oh. gets away with murder by the odd compliment. there we go, right. let's talk about tom cruise, shall we? he's been going around with his shirt off. somebody in the newsroom? quite senior, i might add, suggested that he had moobs, which i beg to disagree with. his daily mail. page 17. let's take a look and you can judge for yourself, claire, what's all this about? oh, it's just that's not mood. >> it's piece of nonsense, isn't it? it's mission impossible to find out what it is. i mean, he's in bloom, in good shape, i think for 61 years old. >> he's an exceptional, isn't he? he's an. >> except he probably isn't 61. >> except he probably isn't 61. >> he's dedicated professional. >> he's dedicated professional. >> he's dedicated professional. >> he is. that's exactly what he is, a dedicated professional. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i mean at what cost? at what cost does he have that physique? i mean, i suppose when you've got the money that he has , you got the money that he has, you can have whatever you want, but it must take hours every day. >> i mean, can you imagine , i >> i mean, can you imagine, i mean, how much time he must spend sort of on, on treadwheels on, on. you wonder if he has a life, though. >> yeah. because everything is done to the most precise point. you know, all the films, all the stunts, all the production he oversaw . oversaw. >> he's he comes in so many films as well, and he's such a high degree. and he not only acts, he produces, he directs, he lives to work. >> he doesn't work. exactly, exactly . exactly. >> yeah. but, you know, exceptional, absolutely exceptional. people say strange things about him, but do they ever compare him to you and say, gosh, that eamonn holmes, he's he's he's a, he's a, ruth's a lucky woman i know. >> can can you imagine eamonn's torso. yeah. >> could you imagine you're getting a hot flush there, scarlet , i getting a hot flush there, scarlet, i think eamonn . crews scarlet, i think eamonn. crews is amazing at what he does. >> have you met him? >> have you met him? >> no, i've never met him. no, no. >> if you were to interview him, what would you ask him, well, i would be more interested. >> not. not the sort of interviews that he gives access to, which is all about, you know , stupid things, but this man hangs on to aeroplanes. he is at the top of the tallest building in dubai. he does things that are really life threatening . i are really life threatening. i mean, the motorcycle stunts he did in the last mission impossible. >> that was right. >> that was right. >> incredible. i think he's an exceptional human being . i do exceptional human being. i do have to say, let's talk about king charles's , official king charles's, official portrait. yes, what what did you think of that one? scarlett? >> i think it's wonderful . i >> i think it's wonderful. i mean, i think that it's a real piece of art, and it shows the difference between a photo , what difference between a photo, what you can do with a portrait. because. because actually , it's because. because actually, it's a whole feeling, isn't it, i mean, obviously it's metamorphosis and it's him coming out, but, i mean, what is he comes across as a gentle , he comes across as a gentle, wise man. the face comes out of the picture at you and you think, oh, yes, you know, this is scarlett . is scarlett. >> what i would say is what i find it strange that the king himself, when he unveils. i don't know if we can show that again when he unveils, he doesn't stand back and look at the portrait. look. look at this. he sort of turns away, jumps, and he doesn't immediately say to the, the artist, my goodness me, you caught me. well, there , or caught me. well, there, or that's a great work of art. smiling whenever he's not looking at it. >> he must have seen it. >> he must have seen it. >> look at it once. >> he doesn't eamonn he saw it before. he must have given his approval. he. 1 mean, he wouldn't have gone through all of that if he thought it would be one of those ghastly things with, you know, slightly picasso esque or making him look very grumpy. >> i mean, i've been in this situation where this has happened to me and you're waiting for the unveiling and you're thinking, oh my god, what's this going to look like? and then when you see it, you need that second or two to take in. >> is this actually, you've got to be pleased with the likeness to be pleased with the likeness to his face in particular, which is the only bit that you can really sort of judge of whether or not it's complimentary or not. and i think he did a fantastic job. i think whether or not it's too edgy, too arty for a first official portrait for a first official portrait for a first official portrait for a new monarch, i suppose that's a separate debate. it was commissioned before he became the king, so perhaps it wouldn't have been his choice as first portrait. but i think nevertheless, it's absolutely stunning. yeah, well, it's written symbolism about the red from the welsh guards, the butterfly on his shoulder, the emergence of his feature and himself as king. >> it's almost as if he's been in the chrysalis and he's now emerging as the butterfly is beautiful . i think it's beautiful. i think it's absolutely gorgeous. and if you look at the rest of jonathan ulez work, it is tremendous. wow. he did damien hirst in a vessel almost as if he was for in formaldehyde. and he really thinks about his subjects . thinks about his subjects. >> but is splitting opinion. it has to be said, some people have been saying it looks as though just of oil have had their way with this picture already, other people saying, oh, the king must have seen red when that was unveiled. that made me chuckle. but anyway, let us know what you think. at home it's dividing opinion, but i think universally we seem to all like. >> well, i think actually the more you see it, the better it is, the more the more comes out. i mean, it, i think it really i do. i just think it's a piece of art and i think most, most portraits, most royal portraits aren't. they're just a bit ordinary. >> let's talk about we've got a minute left, scarlet. tesco's chief executive. yes, he , he chief executive. yes, he, he gets nearly £10 million in pay . gets nearly £10 million in pay. >> he got a £5 million pay rise this year. i mean a £5 million pay this year. i mean a £5 million pay rise. it's incredible . he he pay rise. it's incredible. he he gets, seven. he's so he used to be nearly 200 paid nearly 200, 200 times as much as his staff. and it is now 430 times. i mean, you just think what is going on. >> yeah, well, i'll tell you what's going on. somebody somewhere is making money out of the cost of living crisis. and i don't think that's a good look. >> it's not at all. and for all they say, every little helps. every massive bonus helps, and every million and every not at farmers salary being massed about, oh , they are, they are about, oh, they are, they are the customers are being messed about and i think it's too much. >> we have come to the end of the paper review. claire and scarlett, thank you very, very much. >> you're very welcome. thank you. >> see you again soon. some time you're not going to see alex deakin. >> looks like things are heating up. boxt boiler is sponsors of weather on gb news. >> good morning. welcome along to your latest weather update from the met office here on gb news. many places having a fine day today with sunny spells and it will feel pretty warm in that sunshine as well. but some parts, particularly across eastern england , remaining eastern england, remaining pretty drab. rain and drizzle on and off across much of yorkshire, lincolnshire and into norfolk as well. a few showers scattered about elsewhere, some getting to the west of the pennines and maybe a few across the south—west of england. but many places here through wales, northern ireland, much of scotland will be dry. notice quite murky conditions on the east coast of scotland, however. ha returning here that's going to suppress the temperatures in the sunny spells further south. we could easily get up to 20, maybe 21 celsius. that mist and low cloud will be around then through the evening and overnight across the eastern part of scotland, tending to come and go and as i say, suppress the temperatures, but generally a fine warm evening across the highlands. it may cloud over a little bit through the central belt. could be some patchy rain across southwest scotland this evening. most of northern ireland staying dry but maybe again here. clouding over a little bit. pretty dull and damp across parts of eastern england through to the east midlands, much of the south having a fine evening, just a bit of a breeze. picking up along the south coast and say maybe 1 or 2 showers here. we'll continue to see some outbreaks of rain and keep the generally pretty drab conditions across the east coast of england and that will last through the night and into thursday morning, temperature wise. well, we may dip to single figures overnight, but most towns and cities staying in double digits. onto the details for tomorrow. again, a fairly grey start across much of northern england. rain at times here. more of it though. to the west of the pennines, and we'll see a bit more of that rain just heading into parts of northern ireland, south—west scotland through the day. a few more showers in the south tomorrow. some heavy showers likely to develop by the afternoon. plenty of sunshine away from those showers and again a good looking day in western scotland, where temperatures likely to get over 20 celsius. goodbye >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on gb news. way. >> good morning. it is 9:00 on the dot. it's wednesday, the 15th of may. and you're watching breakfast with eamonn and isabel, leading the news. and this is what we lead with this half hour knife crime crisis. the conservatives are telling police to bring back. stop and search. what do you think about that one? we had the views of the policing minister. this is what he had to say. >> my facial recognition has the potential to completely transform the way that we can keep the public safe and catch a lot more criminals, and that's why we're investing very heavily in it. i'm personally really pushing it and making sure that police are adopting it. >> new strict rules for schools . >> new strict rules for schools. teachers are told they must not discuss gender identity with pupils . pupils. >> yes, more stop and search and no discussion of gender identity at primary and junior school. that's what the government is planning as it seeks to draw dividing lines between the with the labour party food bank use at an all time high. >> official figures show a 94% increase in just five years, and charity check chaos for harry and meghan as their archewell foundation was labelled delinquent by an american authority . and as the country authority. and as the country prepares to mark 81 years since d—day, the commemorative torch travels to oxford for special ceremony today, chilly and damp across parts of the east today, but for many there will be some warm sunshine. >> top of the temperature charts likely to be across parts of northern scotland again today. join me later for a full forecast. >> well, we're leading with the knife crime epidemic. it's rising each year since the pandemic, and the government has told police to up their use of stop and search. despite a backlash from some campaign groups. >> well, this comes as the education secretary, gillian keegan, calls for sex education to be banned for children under nine and gender identity to be taken out of the school curriculum. here's the views of police minister chris philp, the parent as well . parent as well. >> i don't want my children, to be honest, to be exposed to inappropriate content at a pretty young age, and i don't, nor do i want a politically contested ideas like the trans issues being taught as if they're facts . they're facts. >> so a lot of new views today surfacing . joining us now, surfacing. joining us now, political correspondent katherine forster. let's go to her and see what she makes of all of this. good morning catherine. >> yes. good morning. i think some real dividing lines emerging now between the conservatives and labour ahead of the general election later this year. so chris philp, the policing minister with plans to use technology , £4 million use technology, £4 million extra, talking of ones that they'd be able to use to scan people from a distance to see if they're using a knife, facial recognition and etc. and writing in the telegraph today, he's called for a big increase in the use of stop and search. now that's something that had largely fallen out of favour since 2010, when the then home secretary , theresa may, secretary, theresa may, basically said they should police should be using it much less because campaign groups were saying that black males were saying that black males were being disproportionately targeted. the amount of stop and search is basically three quarters, three quarters less than it was back then. now it's risen a little bit in recent years, but not in london, where sadiq khan, the mayor, has said that he doesn't like it and he wants it to be less use of it. but knife crime in the capital is at an all time high and the met police commissioner has now said, no, we need more of this. basically, they need to worry less about upsetting people, about community tensions and more about saving lives because we do have a knife crime epidemic and increasingly, people are losing their lives in broad daylight. >> other big controversy vie today, catherine, which we were highlighting, there was sex education for the youngest of children and how graphic it should be. >> yes, that's right, gillian keegan is expected to make a speech on this tomorrow, but some details have already leaked. a couple of main points. she wants a ban on children being taught any form of sex education until they are nine or more in primary and junior schools, and also, the government doesn't want any talk of gender ideology because it says it is a contested belief, so it doesn't want children at primary and junior school heanng primary and junior school hearing that boys can be girls but in the wrong body and vice versa of 72 different gender identities , etc. it believes identities, etc. it believes that that is not appropriate for young children and that it is confusing. it's going to set out guidelines for what should be taught and when . some of it taught and when. some of it things being taught. not till year nine at secondary school. >> okay, catherine, thank you very much indeed. well, let's stick with that theme when we introduce now nick thomas—symonds, he's shadow minister without portfolio . minister without portfolio. joining us from westminster. good morning to you. i know you want to talk about knife crime and other things. we will come on to that. but since we were discussing sex education, i just want to get your views on all of this. i think it's a really interesting shift, and it's being described as a dividing line with the labour party, and it is the removal of, politically or contested ideologies from the curriculum. that's got to be a good thing, hasn't it ? hasn't it? >> well, whether this is a dividing line , we'll have to dividing line, we'll have to see, because obviously all we're seeing today is a leak and off the record briefing what we've not seen are the actual proposals in terms of changes to the guidance. now, of course, i think that there should be age appropriate relationship and sex education. it's really important when we judge those ages that we do take expert advice in building the curriculum. really important for children to be taught about healthy relationships , too. but in relationships, too. but in relationships, too. but in relation to the point that's being made around gender, we've just had a report in recent weeks from hilary cass really important report that expressed concerns, very deep concerns and failures in terms of how we've supported young people with gender dysphoria. now, gender dysphoria is not contested. people do suffer from that . and people do suffer from that. and what we have to make sure, and this is one of the things we'll be looking for when gillian keegan actually makes this announcement properly and opens it up to scrutiny, is that children in that situation, in a very vulnerable position, are able to access the support that they need and frankly , as doctor they need and frankly, as doctor cass has set out, haven't been getting so they are the kind of things we will be looking at. and we'll obviously look at this very carefully when it's set out. but today it's just leaking and briefing no, but i mean, i suppose the principle and i just want to push you on it. >> i mean, you were talking there and saying that the findings of the cass report should be welcomed, but a lot of that was that youngsters were being given information too much too soon. and i think if you're teaching children from the age of 13 that there are 79 genders, then you are going to see more people with gender dysphoria. and, you know, given that your leader, sir keir starmer, criticised his own colleague for saying only women could have a cervix, can people trust the labour party with an issue like this ? this? >> well, firstly, i think it's really important to respect all the different points of view in this debate and show respect to all of them, which is what we've done. but you are right to say that what information is given, at what age is obviously hugely important, and how you do that in wales, for example, there are, you know, different ages where you look at what the appropriate information is. and i think that's entirely right and that's why it's appropriate. we look at this announcement point very carefully, but it is also about ultimately the wellbeing of children, making sure that they get the support they need, whether that is in relation to mental health support, where we say we should have mental health support, make sure that that is available in schools up and down the country . schools up and down the country. but also on that issue of young children with gender dysphoria that we do have a situation where not just schools, but parents too are able to give those young people the support they need and those are the tests we're going to apply. when gillian keegan makes the announcement, which i understand will be relatively soon. >> okay. on the issue of knife crime, the conservatives today , crime, the conservatives today, chris philp's been on. he wants to see, stop and search being used more prominently. he says there's a huge problem with knife crime, a big rise since the pandemic. black children in particular, disproportionately die at the hands of these kinds of crimes. so if they are disproportionately stopped in searches, that's a price worth paying. don't you agree with that ? that? >> well, no, i think that's a that's a false dilemma. actually. i think that look, first of all, knife crime, the government, the government is completely failing. we've got an 80% increase since 2015 and rises all around the country. that's the first point on stop and search. stop and search. thatis and search. stop and search. that is intelligence led and evidence based is a really important tool. and you know, we've had, for example, the inspectorate of constabulary, independent organisation, looking at this, saying that what's essential is that it is donein what's essential is that it is done in that targeted way , in done in that targeted way, in a non targeted way, when it isn't evidence based, it does lead to a lack of community. >> well, the government is talking about it being evidence. >> we need to make sure it's essential. >> yeah. and about the analysis that chris was talking about evidence based that can. just to finish the point, he's been talking about scanners that can test if people are carrying knives from a distance, or indeed using ai knives from a distance, or indeed using a1 to do facial recognition on people who are suspected of or have previously carried them. you would welcome that then ? that then? >> yes. look, the use of technology is hugely important, but is that going to be sufficient ? no. so let's just sufficient? no. so let's just take the example today when we will be bringing forward a vote in parliament for the banning of so—called ninja swords. so these are swords, single bladed but 60 centimetre blade, single handle. we will today be putting forward to the government , who, by the to the government, who, by the way, have made about, i think, 16 different announcements about banning various swords and knives over recent years . let's knives over recent years. let's ban those. but also let's have an end to end review of how people get hold of them in the first place. we had a tragic case, ronan kanda in wolverhampton two years ago, where one of those swords was used by one of his attackers in an attack that cost him his life, where the attacker went to pick it up was using their mother's id to collect it and it wasn't properly checked. so where these banned items are being sold on online marketplaces , let's make sure marketplaces, let's make sure that the tech executives who then sell them in breach of the law, face criminal sanction, but also , let's look at the id, also, let's look at the id, let's look as well at the verification that the carriers, whether that's border force or royal mail, are using to try to take these knives from our streets . streets. >> okay. we're out of time. >> okay. we're out of time. >> nick thomas—symonds, thank you very much indeed. nick is the shadow minister without portfolio. thank you very much indeed, andrew pierce. he's got portfolio for everything thing from 9:30 today. what are you getting your teeth into , andrew? getting your teeth into, andrew? >> well, we're terribly excited. we've got jonathan yeo coming in. oh no way. he's done the magnificent portrait of the king.

he's a magnificent artist. >> and he's done some amazing paintings in his time. but i think it's one of the king is so striking. we've never seen a royal portrait quite like that. so bev has already seen this picture because she's an old mate of jonathan yeo's. and she said, close up. it is phenomenal. yeah, phenomenal. >> i think probably it's edgier than people were expecting because it wasn't designed to be as first portrait as monarch, because it was commissioned in 2020. and that's why a few people are hesitating. but it seems to be it's a grower, you know, people might instantly not be sure about it, but his face is so warm and lovely and i think it's refreshingly different there too. >> and apparently it was the king's idea to have the butterfly. nice going from the chrysalis are

anniversary on june the 6th, gb news reporter charlie peters is in oxford as the city prepares for today's events. >> tell us more, charlie. good morning. >> good morning eamonn. yes, this is part of the commonwealth war graves commission lighting their legacy campaign . as you their legacy campaign. as you said, this torch being lit yesterday for the first time at horseguards parade with the prime minister, rishi sunak. and today is its second stop here in the botley cemetery in oxford, just by the city centre. it will travel then to edinburgh, to manchester, plymouth and portsmouth before heading to normandy on the 5th of june. on the eve of the 80th anniversary of d—day. the 6th of june later this year, in just a few weeks time. and they've organised this commemoration at the same time as they have released some research saying that one tenth of britons don't know what d—day is. and even more shockingly, they say that one fifth of 18 to 24 year olds have the same misunderstanding . they also say misunderstanding. they also say that a third of people who do know what d—day is don't understand the significance of the event. for the liberation of france and the allied victory in the western front in the second world war. so lighting the legacy that campaign is designed to help reverse that situation. we'll see school children here so they they too can carry on the campaign of commemoration. and we'll also see the lord mayor of oxford in attendance in this ceremony from midday today. >> okay, charlie, thanks very much indeed. appreciate it. >> i think charlie was going to show us another five minutes or something. >> it did seem to wrap rather just somebody tell us, have we got another back to him ? got another back to him? >> are we going back to

speaking to you. charlie. >> i'm sorry, charlie, i think you're going to show us and tell us what's on the agenda, today there in oxford . there in oxford. >> so at 12:00, the ceremony will start. the lord mayor will be here. we'll also have the deputy lord lieutenant in attendance. and as i said, several school children, local schools here coming to join that commence oration. it's the first of several events that will be taking place on this torch road show that the commonwealth war graves commission has put on. they maintain some 23,000 memorials and cemeteries and over 150 countries. but it's the cemeteries around england that will be hosting these events in the next few weeks. ahead of that 80th anniversary of d—day. there'll be a service taking place behind me here at this at this cemetery just outside the centre of oxford. we anticipate that there will be a moment of silence to commemorate those who lost their lives on d—day. some 10,000 allied casualties in the morning and after that, the torch will go down and it will prepare for its third day as it moves on to a new location. yeah, well, the sun is shining, hopefully everything goes well there today. charlie peters, thank you from oxford. thank you very much indeed, and so many of you sharing your d—day memories as well. kevin says my father fought in the war, and my uncle and i grew up hearing the stories of the

can put your underwear back on without washing. and paul says we have an electric one. it looks like a toilet doesn't take up any more space, and it has heated seats and heated water, lots of giving your views on the king's portrait as well. it has divided opinion. some people not quite sure , other people saying that sure, other people saying that it's a grower, that they get used to it once
