so a lot of these looming questions that have been hanging over us since the somerset of hearings are going to be answered next week. >> jackie, certainly a lot to watch out for with the potential criminal referrals. this committee has not disappointed. nearly every meeting they've had, they've presented new evidence, surprises to captivate attention, but there's sort of been this unspoken mission if you will to short of show the case that donald trump should never be allowed near the oval office again. is that going to be what you anticipate their closing argument could be, these last couple times we hear from them after so many months of work? >> yes. and you just articulated that perfectly. that has been liz cheney's primary mission and she's been the loudest voice on this committee. we can expect the report and the hearings to largely mirror what we've seen during these eight hearings over the summer which sort of showed the arc of the former president's efforts to overturn results of the elections and the various operations that were all simultaneously taking place in order to fu

even if the justices came forward, even if clear somerset, yes, i discussed my wife had to engage inokes during testimony, i took drinks with et cetera, et cetera. what would be the enforcement mechanism? if we saw them on the hand, and she doing the same thing? >> hopefully, if you have a code of ethics that requires disclosure or requires recusal or prevents justices from receiving free chips or gifts, they will file the code of ethics that they adopt. if they don't, then there are mechanisms to remove justices who violate the code of ethics. that happens all the time at district court levels and court of appeals. you have to impeach a justice of the supreme court but at the very least, the established rules of conduct, making clear that the judgments they're making are based on the law and the evidence of the arguments before them and the president and not in the influence of other parties for whining and dining them, or inviting them to vacation or take inducted into. that is very corrosive, and we have seen a number of events recently that really raised questions about the integ

the music event will return to worthy farm in somerset in june . this is gb somerset in june.b news. so mornings as it happens. now let's get back to esther and philip . philip. thank you both and we're delighted to be joined throughout the show today by editor of conservative home paul goodman and daily express correspondent in environment editor steph spirit. so great to have you here. but i thought we'd start the top of the show to talk that by—election last night , if anybody knows about night, if anybody knows about the figures, the stats, what happens, it means, it's happens, what it means, it's paul happens, what it means, it's paul, you and steph start with you, paul. well, the headline is it's really bad for the conservatives. the worst . i like conservatives. the worst. i like the worst result. i think in since 1832. but there's something that's being picked up this morning that's really quite interesting and provides them with glimmer of light, which is that the swing against them, it's like half that for blair. yep elections, right? roughly so blair had a landslide

so i ended up being elected for north somerset in my home seat, which couldn't have been better for met sort of strong influence on what i've said in parliament, what i've been interested in parliament and interested in in parliament and so now i think it's much more accidental than that. but i like being a member of parliament. i think there's not to do in think there's not one to do in the of commons and i want the house of commons and i want to doing that. so to carry on doing that. so you're standing again when you're standing again and when you're standing again and when you polling, some polling you see polling, some polling that suggests you could lose your does it faze you? your seat, does it faze you? well, i think that's all the more reason to stand again and see can turn it around. see if i can turn it around. what jacob rees—mogg do to what does jacob rees—mogg do to relax? you chill out? do relax? how do you chill out? do you want a pair of jeans? a pair of joggers? when i bundle legs, i go in the house of commons and i go in the house of commons and i lie down on the fron

we went to a stretch of the frome in somerset.t was appalling. and, as i approached the river, i could see that it was black. how did you feel when you were filming this? sick. sick because i know it had happened before, not that long ago in the same place from the same farm. the farmer responsible was prosecuted for both leaks and ordered to pay tens of thousands of pounds. do you think people are aware that this is a problem? no, i think farm pollution has been hidden away for far too long. it's the unseen contamination, though, that really worries conservationists — the creeping decline of life. this is a river that's really suffered, and half of all pollution caused by agriculture is down to the industry that gives us billions of pints of milk a year. while supplying that industry, each dairy cow produces up to 53 litres of manure a day. so all the cows in the uk produce more than 50 billion litres a year. that's enough to fill wembley stadium 12 times over. properly applied, it's a highly valuable fertiliser, called slurry. t
