so it sounds like wes streeting is serious . like wes streeting is serious.mething which is completely in the in the same vein, the same thread of thought as everything that he said about the nhs in the past few months. but does he really have the money to put where his mouth is? yeah and of course he was cancer. >> cancen >> he battled cancer through the nhs as well. so, you know, his heart is very much in the mission. but we'll see olivia. we shall see. thank you very much for that analysis. that's gb news political correspondent olivia utley. let's see what my panel make of this today. i'm joined by former labour party spokesman james matthewson and the core deputy leader of reform uk, ben habib. ben, i didn't actually know you were a coal deputy leader. what did you think i was? i thought you were just the deputy leader . just the deputy leader. >> well, david bull is my colleague. >> excellent. david bull, i see the things you learn now, james, i've got to start with you. wes streeting this morning was saying , look, i think the saying, look, i think the

i think that the way wes streeting and keir starmer are presenting it is, it goes a little bit too farthan they were then. so it could be that that wes streeting keir starmer are the people to actually get a grip on this problem. it's very toxic for the conservatives to talk about nhs reform, and a lot of what wes streeting has been saying over the past weeks and months. i mean, for example, now saying that we need to crack down on our reliance on migrant workers, probably quite sensible and something that the conservatives just couldn't say . just couldn't say. >> it's all about trust, isn't it? and who the british public trust to fix the nhs because everybody agrees it needs fixing. but who's the right person to do it? >> exactly. and the more i think particularly during, covid and lockdown, the nhs became such a sort of institution to worship and glorify because obviously the doctors and nurses were doing fantastic work in really difficult circumstances . but it difficult circumstances. but it did make it a bit of a shibboleth which can't really be, attacked at all. and i think that

wes streeting channelling scans.streeting channelling his inner tony blair, there in wanting to get the waiting lists down, health secretary victoria atkins responded with this the very fact that the strikes have been called, they've also promised a full pay restoration of 35% that will cost in the region of £3 billion. >> so these announcements today show , first of all, they do. show, first of all, they do. they have no plan. they do not understand the scale of the issues facing the nhs, which we have been working out carefully over the recent months to drive down waiting lists in in england, as we have been , england, as we have been, whereas in wales, where the labour party runs the nhs, they've been going up. >> victoria atkins , they're >> victoria atkins, they're pointing out that as labour was setting out its pitch on the nhs , we heard from the british medical association that doctors will go on another five day strike in the middle of the election campaign . so tonight election campaign. so tonight i'm aski

wes streeting . either, by west. wes streeting.ld not get involved in things like racism, islamophobia, throw those kind of allegations around. it always ends badly. i mean, look what happened to lee anderson when he did it, however, susan hall hasn't is has got form in this area too. so i mean, she's on twitter that she liked a tweet about enoch powell, she put an emoji up , but about enoch powell, she put an emoji up, but that's hardly the same as actually buy your own fair hand writing those words. >> i agree. i mean, i don't think they're comparable , that think they're comparable, that there's a question of degree. >> i'm just saying that i don't think politicians getting on twitter, but do get into a time i don't think she was actually a high level, top level politician ready for government in that respect. they should i mean, i mean, but adams referred to old tweets from from wes streeting when he wasn't either . tweets from from wes streeting when he wasn't either. yeah, but this one, this specific this one, i do not think

wes streeting from labour. pollster. the legend that is alastair stewart. we've got it for all you, haven't we? >> we've got it all, all of that. after your weather. >> looks like things are heating up. boxt boiler is sponsors of weather on gb news. >> morning. welcome to your latest weather update from the met office here on gb news. again, some places looking fairly soggy today, but it should be a brighter day across parts of the south. and another mostly fine and sunny day across northwest scotland and elsewhere. though a lot of cloud around this morning. outbreaks of rain still over the midlands, wales, parts of southeast england, some heavier. rain coming into parts of northern england as well. we'll see a few showers developing for northern ireland, southwest scotland, but say most of scotland again set fair and again on the west coast. we could easily see temperatures up to 20 celsius cooler on the east coast, with a brisk breeze here and obviously much cooler than yesterday , much cooler than yesterday,

wes streeting, thank you, from ou labour. wes streeting, thank you, from you and _ labour.t is already here. thank you, wes streeting forjoining us in the studio. let's see what the panel have to say about those two interviews this morning. presenter—2—macro, you do politics in a very different way, you describe yourself as an activist, —— mikaela. i describe yourself as an activist, -- mikaela. ~ , describe yourself as an activist, -- mikaela. ~' , ., describe yourself as an activist, -- mikaela. ~' , . ., ., . mikaela. i think they are good at avoidin: mikaela. i think they are good at avoiding directly _ mikaela. i think they are good at avoiding directly answering - avoiding directly answering questions and making things indifferent than they actually are. i was a medical student. i thought the way to create change best in this, because if you're good at science at school that is what they tell you to do and when i was on the wards, i noticed that lots of people were sick, notjust because of arbitrary things, but because of the social conditions they were living in, the

so i wouldn't take anything that wes streeting says.ing he says with a pinch of salt. i don't trust . i don't of salt. i don't trust. i don't believe a word he says. do you? would you ever tweet anything like that? >> i was a big fan of wes streeting up until about around a month or so ago, when he stood at the despatch box. kevin, i'm not sure what you make of this. he stood at the despatch box with his labour mps behind him, laughing at the fact that natcon eventin laughing at the fact that natcon event in brussels was being shut down. a total attack on free speech, which anyone from the right, if it happened to their adversaries on the left, would call out straight away. you know, i don't agree with you, but i respect and will fight for your right to say it. but wes streeting giggled like a juvenile schoolboy. and then of course he had the tweeting incident as well . incident as well. >> i just don't know what's wrong with him. >> yeah, no, i think i think that was a mistake. i have to say. yeah, you can absolutely do so. you can not

i wasn't impressed by that contribution by wes streeting . i contribution by wes streeting.you know, i'm on a sticky wicket today. i both of these topics are relatively hard to defend coming from a sort of left leaning perspective, because i think as we were discussing, that starmer has got himself into potentially a bit of hot water over the natalie elphicke adoption, as it were . elphicke adoption, as it were. and now this wes streeting story is gaining, gaining a bit of pace because susan hall has decided to come out now and say her bit about it. >> we've got the tweet on, on screen here where streeting says a win for susan hall and the conservatives is a win for racists. white supremacists and islamophobes the world over. he thinks we've got global reach. susan hall's campaign has been fought from the gutter with dangerous and divisive politics. london. we cannot let her win vote city. >> well, he doubled down on it as well. wes streeting he did, and he used some examples of racist votes backing susan hall. there's no doubt that there are plenty of racists who would have

then in shadow, health secretary wes streeting says he won't give striking doctors their demands for 35% pay doctors their demands for 35% pay rises, all controversial. so even if labour win the election, will we see still see those strikes in the nhs and plans for an independent regulator for football have been put on hold because of yet the general election. but will smaller clubs survive that . long? but this survive that. long? but this show is nothing without you and your views, so let me know your thoughts on everything we're talking about today. anything you want to talk about in general to be honest with you, very simple. to get in touch, visit gbnews.com forward slash your say on your screens. now and join the conversation or message me even more simple on our socials @gbnews. but first, it's me and cameron walker reunited and he's here with your headunes. headlines. >> thanks, dawn. good afternoon. it's 1:01. >> thanks, dawn. good afternoon. it's1:01. i'm cameron walker here in the gb newsroom now. compulsory national service for 18 year olds will come into force if the cons

i've gone for wes streeting, but there we go. yes, but very, very close, matthew. right.cause we're gonna have a heck of a lot to go out with keir starmer. hey, you heard it here first. looking like he's announcing a policy which is fantastic . so there we go. we'll fantastic. so there we go. we'll be picking the bones out of that. i am however, off a nana will be sitting in this seat. it's headliners next, so make sure that you keep it gb news. and until then, keep fighting the good fight. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> good evening. welcome to your latest weather update from the met office here on gb news. another cracking day tomorrow if you like it. fine, warm and sunny. if anything. a little bit warmer than today with light winds. thanks to this chunky area of high pressure. hasn't been fine everywhere today there has been these weather fronts just trickling across northern scotland , still bringing some scotland, still bringing some outbreaks of rain, particularly for caithness, sutherland and spreading across the northern

that was wes streeting, just one of the i will do it again. holyrood after msps voted to impose sanctions for an improper expenses claim. he has been suspended for 27 sitting days, after he claimed £11,000 for ipad roaming charges whilst he was on a foreign holiday. let's go live to our correspondent lorna gordon who is across this story for us. just bring us right up to date. that is a hefty suspension. is that the end, potentially, of his career? well, there is a _ potentially, of his career? well, there is a debate _ potentially, of his career? well, there is a debate ongoing i potentially, of his career? well, there is a debate ongoing in i there is a debate ongoing in parliament as we speak calling for him to resign. but yes, this is a really hefty suspension, it is a record ban in the scottish parliament. he has been banned for more than five working weeks, that exceeds the previous record of one month, and he has been docked sell equivalent, roughly, to the £10,941 that he ran up in this data roaming charge while he was on holiday with

word. >> if a senior member of the labour frontbench , like like wes labour frontbench, like like wes streeting to have these conversations about the conflict of rights between trans demands and the needs and rights of women and girls. >> we welcome that , i think the >> we welcome that, i think the number one thing that we'd love to see, whoever wins this election is that they clarify the equality act , because that's the equality act, because that's the equality act, because that's the place where all of that, where the rubber hits the road, you know, everyone is protected from discrimination from violence, but there are times where sex matters and we can't pretend that people have changed sex because they can't do that. and so it's really, really welcome to hear wes streeting say this. >> yeah, but fiona, there is a massive issue at play here, which is that it's all very well and good for wes streeting to say you're not a bigot if you don't want men in your changing rooms, but unfortunate glee. the labour party also wants to make it easier for adults to change gendeh it easier for adults to

we are seeing these scenes on the street - candidacy status. are seeing these scenes on the street in i these scenes on the street in tbilisi and protesters who are very angry and pumped up about this law which they hate, and also the riot police in huge numbers. do you fear all of this political crisis, clearly, could escalate? it isa it is a significant political crisis. the last time we had such large—scale protests crisis. the last time we had such la rge—scale protests was crisis. the last time we had such large—scale protests was last crisis. the last time we had such la rge—scale protests was last year in march 2023 when people rallied against the same law which the government was forced to cancel. however, this time people are much more disappointed and angry because they see that the government has made a u—turn and they basically promised they would not get back to this discussion is about the slow and now what we have is the consequences because they have approved the foreign agents low. my fear is that if the situation escalates and

i'm not quite sure she's described what wes streeting said as despicable , streeting said as despicable say was a win for susan hall and the conservatives is a win for racists. bingo white supremacist and islamophobes the world over. i mean, let's have this right. those are dangerous comments because what is he essentially saying there is to say that everyone who voted against ulez or for less knife crime. yeah, a safer london is a racist, a white supremacist or an islamophobe. whereas you are a walley mate. >> i think what's happened is wes streeting has made it very dangerous for him to go on pubuc dangerous for him to go on public transport because he might run into you and you . might run into you and you. >> well, luckily he's a champagne socialist, so it's limos everywhere , uber exotic, limos everywhere, uber exotic, you know what i mean? yeah. i mean, like, i think it's ridiculous to say, you know, a vote for her is a win for racist white supremacists and islamophobes. i mean, lucky guess, but it's a terrible it's a terrible thing to see. and it should be. you know, the idea beh

that was wes streeting for labour and of course we will hear more from the other parties on their healthe very much. the status of the long—serving mp diane abbott is unclear this lunchtime, after she told the bbc she was barred from standing as a labour candidate in the general election — only to be contradicted sir keir starmer, who said no decision had yet been taken. diane abbott was the first black woman to be elected to the house of commons nearly a0 years ago. she was suspended from the party last year after saying thatjewish, irish and traveller people didn't face racism "all their lives". she later apologised and was allowed back into the parliamentary party yesterday. 0ur political correspondent jess parker reports. the first steps back in 1987 into a long career in parliament, as britain's first ever black female mp. good morning, my name's diane abbott. but is it now all coming to an end? what have labour said to you? diane abbott says she's dismayed by reports she's been barred from standing for labour, despite being let back in to the parliamentary party. it follows her sus

shall to fleet street, for example. shall we to fleet street, for example. he economy? that seems to be the one that they're going principally. the shadow chancellor writing today that it will not play fast and loose with your money. in terms of what labour are wanting to get across is that they are at the party to be trusted on the economy, meanwhile we have the conservatives promising tax cuts, yet we don't have anything specific combats. what do you make of the comments of rachel reeves today? of the comments of rachel reeves toda ? ., ,., , , of the comments of rachel reeves toda? , i, today? labour will be very pleased today? labour will be very pleased to see those _ today? labour will be very pleased to see those comments _ today? labour will be very pleased to see those comments on - today? labour will be very pleased to see those comments on the - today? labour will be very pleased l to see those comments on the front page of the daily mail, they have thrown everything at trying to show that labour is a party to be trusted on the economy, they have t

well, i'm told that wes streeting is standing by and presumably can hear that. al suggestion, is it? trying to get these guys to work weekends and over time, a lot of them putting in the hard yards already to try and bring down waiting times, aren't they? >> i mean, what we're talking aboutis >> i mean, what we're talking about is an extra 40,000 housing reform that's been tried and tested at a small number of hospitals, like guy's and saint thomas's . the hospital i can see thomas's. the hospital i can see out of my office window in westminster taking that same approach and adopting it right across the nhs, putting £1.1 billion into the pockets of nhs staff to deliver those extra evening and weekend clinics. i accept what your viewers said, that there are already staff who are doing lots of work at evenings and weekends, and there may be some staff who say, do you know what? i can't take on any more shifts and the reassurance i want to provide to them is that no one is going to be forced to do this. the approach we've seen in london and in leeds, in other parts

that was wes streeting . but some months wes streeting.rvice, not a shrine. and so to me he's on the right track. i just would like to slip in. one little personal story, if i may. is this about the schools? >> no . >> no. >> no. >> nothing to do with school? no. i was firmly told. not to mention schools . this is about mention schools. this is about the nhs we're talking about, my husband fell the other day and we had to go off to a&e and he's broken a rib and i cannot praise strongly enough the service we got at our big great western hosphal got at our big great western hospital. i mean, it took quite a long time to go through the whole process. but, you know, they were very, very good indeed. but the whole nhs en masse is an absolute basket case and it needs somebody to take control of it. it really does, whether wes streeting is the man, but he's obviously going to be the man. >> but may i just say that you are christine hamilton? >> no, no, no. >>— >> no, no, no. >> if you'd gone in there. yeah, i think that you would have got slightl

so when susan says, actually, we need to look at what's going on in the street. gn, i said, we need to do much more stop and search. he misunderstood. he was saying stop and search is not effective for boosting arrest number. it's not about arrest numbers , it's not about arrest numbers, it's about presence. it's about showing people if you're nervous and you carry a knife, you'll get caught by the police. if you're out and out, villain and you're out and out, villain and you carry enough, you'll get caught by the police. this reduces the temperature on the street and the fact that he doesn't know that it's cost lives in london and that's sneering for me, it's so it's so painful because in the black community in particular, our teenagers have been murdered at such a rate. and it's because we need a mayor who gets on top of that crime. >> all right. how much did just briefly, how much do you think actually gaza has impacted upon sadiq khan's vote? >> i think very little. in some communities. it is really , communities. it is really, really important, but in most co

we established not only slow streets and shared spaces but jfk promenade! [applause] and isn't that a nice bike ride through the park and it feels so good. and we were the first city in california to reduce the speed limit to 20 miles an hour on 44 miles per hour streets and we are going to be the first city in the state of california to install speed cameras! [applause] so, if you get a ticket in the mail and you are like, what did i do? well, slow down the next time. the point is, again, this is not about removing cars, this is about safety on our streets for everyone. and, what more are we going to do? well, prioritizing daylighting at intersections city wide. expanding no right turn on red at intersections city wide. increasing parking control enforcement to ticket people who park on the sidewalks and block the crosswalks so that not just bikes can't get through, but people trying to walk and wheelchairs and others can get through. we have to do this in order to make sure that isn't anything goes in our city, so again, we can all use the sidewalks. we al

street in soma. and it's great to see this. wew that one way streets, especially multi lane, one way streets, are more dangerous for people. all people, including drivers and people in cars, and i just want to encourage the agency to take this energy and move it to historically marginalized and disadvantaged neighborhoods that have many one way streets and many people who don't own cars, notably the tenderloin and western addition, where there are lots of one way streets. i'm thinking of golden gate ave. it's a six lane, one way road that goes through public housing neighborhoods, and so i just want to encourage the agency to, to take this energy of converting one way streets to two way streets and putting that energy now in the tenderloin, in the western addition and in other neighborhoods where less people own cars and more people are injured and killed on our streets. thank you. thank you. any other speakers on the consent calendar today? okay. with that, we'll close public comment. colleagues, are there any questions or may i

let's take a look at wall street. we - growth this season. let's take a look at wall street. wered by gains and other text box. that's it for this addition. i'll see you again soon. hey, i'mjulia with the catch up. tonight — a 50—year scandal, updates from the middle east and a real—life shooting star. but first, the nhs knowingly exposed patients to unacceptable risks by treating them with infected blood. that's what it says in a report that went public today after a five—year long investigation. it accuses doctors, the government and the nhs of letting patients catch hiv and hepatitis in the �*70s, �*80s and �*90s and then covering it up. ronan�*s mother, jane, died after being treated with infected blood when she was 16. ronan says this was no accident and the truth is finally coming out. about 3,000 people have died and experts say more deaths will follow. rishi sunak has called it a day of shame for the british state. he's apologised and promised to offer compensation to victims. some stories from the middle east now. the chief prosecutor of the international criminal cou

look coming up as wes streeting cops it for the diane abbott debacle. happened here with diane abbott? >> no . >> no. >> no. >> not particularly. i think this has gone on for a very long time. but could this become a major issue for the labour party ? >> my panel 7 >> my panel are ? >> my panel are going to talk about that at ten. what on earth does keir starmer do here? does he risk alienating the left? does he risk saying that he's not a changed labour party? i want to know whether or not diane abbott did actually complete that anti—semitism awareness course. it makes it sound like she was caught speeding, doesn't it? but next, mr streeting also said that he's the man to save britain's crumbling nhs. do you believe him ? and, well, it's especially him? and, well, it's especially important because we are about to see junior doctors strikes and medic strikes right in the run up to the general election . run up to the general election. some would say those are politically motivated, but what are the labour party going to do about it? especially when the

and on wes streeting jim says wes streeting. of course , the shadow streeting.abour health secretary, he said this morning in an interview with the sun that he is anti—woke despite clearly being very woke, jim , you say you very woke, jim, you say you can't be a true conservative one minute and be willing to give socialism a go the next, which is exactly what you said, ben. >> and still on the general election, marge says neither sunak or starmer have a plan . sunak or starmer have a plan. certainly don't trust either party and won't vote for either, which i do think is actually how a lot of people are feeling in my job. i go out and about speaking to people on the streets, and there's a lot of apathy at the moment . apathy at the moment. >> you'd know, yeah, you are out and about. >> i am out and about, right. >> i am out and about, right. >> your pictures of the northern lights are coming in as well. let's take a look at this one. this is lee from saint austell in cornwall , lovely. in cornwall, lovely. >> wow. >> wow. >> all the way down in cornwall. >> all t

street. and then there we go. and then all eyes on the downing street door after that wasn't it?nd out strides rishi sunak into the pouring rain to remind us all immediately about the time this government locked us down and smashed our economy to pieces. >> i introduced the furlough scheme . i did so not because scheme. i did so not because i saw a country simply in need of desperate help, albeit we were, but because i saw a country whose future hung in the balance . i have never and will never leave the people of this country to face the darkest of days alone and you know that because you've seen it as i did, then i will forever do everything in my power to provide you with the strongest possible protection. can. >> no one in downing street thought to provide mr sunak with an umbrella as he got soaked to the bone. then the music started and his message to the nation was drowned out. >> prices will ease and mortgage rates will come down. this is proof that the plan and priorities i set out are working . i recognise that it has not always been easy. >> things can only get wetter.

, are people with mental illness on the streets and how we can make access points for them available. >> reporter: michael and the staff at glide work daily with people who often buy drugs off the street. he says one of the biggest health concerns is the type of drugs available in the city. >> the reality of the matter is the supply is not safe. >> reporter: to try and combat those illegal drugs, the mayor's office launched the drug market agency coordination center in may 2023. now one year later they say close to 90 kilos of fentanyl alone has been seized by close and close to 50 kilos of meth. according to their data, over 1,000 dealers have also been arrested in addition to close to 1,300 users. michael told me he understands the city's approach but still doesn't think it will solve the big picture problem alone. >> incarceration and law enforcement has not been proven to be able to assist, change the conditions for people who use drugs and the same thing applies here. even if we're getting some substances off the streets, we still have a
