i imagine susan hall, for one, would have something to say about this.ory candidate for the mayor of london, of course. but what's interesting to me, i should push back a little. alex on. he has been voted in three times. he's won three elections. fair and square in the capital city. is that worth a knighthood alone? >> no. i think winning elections and being elected to serve our constituents and our country and our capital city, that in itself should be the honour, not some kind of gong that is dished out like confetti to, you know, by people like keir starmer who want to reward his own, you know, acolytes. it's not right. it's a totally inappropriate use of the system. the honour system should be there to reflect people working hard in their communities, you know, charity workers, volunteers, activists doing really good, you know, kind of unsung hero kind of work. not just a reward for doing your day job and for doing it extremely badly. as has been the case with this example. >> and, alex, i think a good question too is why he's accepting it, why he's

morales had been in juvenile hall until his 20th birthday earlier this month, when san mateo county judge susan zadeh gave him home detention with his parents. >> they are dissatisfied with the outcome, and i understand that. i wish the law were different. >> da steve wagstaff had asked the judge to have morales tried as an adult. he says the judge could have sentenced him to an additional year in juvenile hall. >> we didn't agree with her on this one. we thought our belief was that she missed on this one, but that's how the system works. two sides argue and the judge makes a call. >> the other driver, kyle harrison, pleaded no contest to vehicular manslaughter and to racing morales and will be sentenced next month. spyridon wants the couple remembered. >> for their kindness, their compassion, their love, their inclusivity. >> while mourning their loved ones. spyridon and her husband are now raising the now nine year old girls. >> so we became instant parents. >> every family should have people like them willing to give up their home, their whole life down the coast and move up here so the girl

susan collins, lisa murkowski, they have all said to me in the halls, i want to see this before i makeging members of the committee, not just the chairman and the ranking member, to not have seen these background checks? it is unprecedented. >> generally, you would share it's kind of a standard process. you would be briefed on what's in there. it would be kind of a pro forma thing. in this case, it's being kept very limited just to those two members. and again, they're just receiving a briefing from the trump transition team. they're not hearing it directly from the fbi. that's also a key point. it's not required to be. it's the transition team that presents it to congress. i imagine that it is possible that democrats could suggest that they would like to hear from the fbi, but i don't know what the what the process would be or if there's a precedent for that. >> and then there's the reality that they're requesting, and there's no real teeth behind the demand to force someone into actually giving that kind of a briefing. >> no, not at all. it's really up to what they choose to let you

why they all have endorsed donald trump and why they will all, maybe with one free hall pass here and there to get susanes. i mean, the fact is that republicans are not going to save us. republicans are are are are the problem. they're not the solution. the only thing that unites the republican conference together today is being sycophantic to donald trump. and unfortunately, that is spreading now to more and more aspects of society. it is spreading to the billionaire class. it's spreading to a lot of the legacy media. it's spreading to large corporations. i mean, they are raising more money for his inauguration because literally billionaires and corporations are lining up to throw money at him. so it is ultimately going to be on us. it is going to be on the people around this table. it is going to be people like the congressman who are going to have to lead this new opposition that we talked about, and it is not about pivoting away from it. it is about leaning into it. >> i think it's also imperative there's something so offensive about trump that it's hard to give them credit. but steve bannon deserve

i'm joined now by former mayoral candidate and london assembly member susan hall. susan, look, why don't we get your views on what happened in that clip? i'd love for you to take it away. >> well, basically, most londoners want to know, have we got these grooming gangs in london? my job as an assembly member is to scrutinise the mayor and ask him questions. and as usual, he was very dismissive and he didn't want to answer. and that's what happens. and unfortunately, there's not a lot we can do about that because he just gets away with it. i thought my question was very simple. it was a yes or a no. if it had been yes, then we could have explored what we can do about it. you know, i would have then had a go about the fact that the latest budget shows that the latest budget shows that we're going to lose at least 1800 police off our streets. we can't afford to do that. but he just would not answer the question. and he is the police and crime commissioner for london. we've got 9 million people in london, and he should damn well ask the questions that are put to him. >>

i didn't see susan hall was questioning. the clip has gone viral now.e'll show it in a little bit. i should have got it up earlier. susan hall, the tory london assembly member, member, head of the tories there, basically asked him whether there were any grooming gangs operating in london. and he said, what do you mean by a grooming gang? what exactly do you mean by a grooming gang? all of this anyway. and she said, you know exactly what i mean. men perpetrating rape or whatever against women in gangs. >> and he just completely obfuscated, completely dodged it. and i do wonder whether he was trying to make her say pakistani, right, so that then he could then call her a racist. >> oh, he was trying to goad her into saying something about her race or ethnicity? >> i think so, yeah. and she wouldn't go there, right. and she wouldn't go there. but then sadiq khan has obviously been accused of dodging the issue and being in massive denial that there could be an issue in london. >> yeah, i think most people can accept that group based child sexual exploitation

london assembly member and former mayoral candidate susan hall is going to be joining us to tell us about that damning interaction she's had with the mayor over those alleged grooming gangs in london, also, our gen z lazy or let down. that's revealed that one third of 18 to 24 year olds have taken time off due to stress. so has our system failed younger generations, or do they just need to get off their backsides and. ymca? is one of those bev turner is joining us all the way from washington as she gives us the inside scoop on trump's impending inauguration. >> that's right. good evening from washington, dc. that is the white house behind me and the city. this weekend is a hive of activity, not least because all the plans have changed only in the plans have changed only in the last few hours. the inauguration will take place inside because the forecast is for cold as much as —11 here tonight. though, as you can see, it's still a beautiful evening. this evening is going to be kicking off with the stars and stripes and union jack party, hosted by nigel farage. >> you're not going to want to

would zac goldsmith had he won, or would susan hall had she won the mayoral election?ld they have got a grip of it? how do we know that's counterfactual history? but on the issue of reform, you have you made those appalling comments essentially saying that he was controlled by islamists? you refused to apologise. i asked you to apologise. i asked you to apologise to him. and so and so he walked into this trap and what he. should have done, what he should have done, is tackled the issue. >> lee, matthew, let me hold you to account here. you may think in the world of matthew stadlen, you may think those comments were appalling. in the real world, most people were appalling. in the real world, most

so how did sadiq khan respond when susan hall asked him about the extent of abuse gangs in london yesterday so are you saying we haven't got the same sort of gangs that are in rotherham and bradford and lots of other places in the country? are you saying understanding? >> what does she mean by that? >> what does she mean by that? >> you know full well what i mean by that. it's all over the television. you know exactly what i mean by that. these gangs of people that are grooming young girls for sex, do we actually have those in london? >> well, after two weeks of relentless coverage on this national atrocity, attempts to stonewall questions like that or ignore concerns about this scandal that just won't work anymore. a lot of people have only recently learned the extent of the abuse gangs crisis. before, we were gripped by a conspiracy of murmuring people being a bit nervous talking around this topic. but now that murmuring has become a crescendo roar and only proper investigations and action will overcome that anger. well, joining me now to discuss more on this ongoing issue of the grooming
