Of whats been happening around the world in various places. Obviously, this is this is right at the apex in terms of the fatalities and the destruction, the damage thats been done. It looks to be frank with you. It looks like one of the armageddon sort of films you see from to time on tv where from time to time on tv where you think, oh, you know, thats some story will some fiction, a story that will never happen. But it never happen. But when it happens to you and this is the point when it happens to these poor then it becomes poor people, then it becomes very real. Um, and its not an armageddon film. It is real. And some of the stories coming out of there , i think theres yet to of there, i think theres yet to be more to come because obviously, being declared 80 obviously, um, being declared 80 people, 80 or so people have lost their lives. I people, 80 or so people have lost their lives. I think theres a lot more missing than that. So the full, the full so i think the full, the full weight of this will will yet to be unveiled. Be unveiled. Its i mean, we think there might be a thousand people still missing and people have described it as being is like being caught in a blowtorch and literally having to into literally having to jump into the as the fire moves so the sea as the fire moves so swiftly towards them. It does sound terrifying. Sound absolutely terrifying. Now, how can i have to ask this question , jim . Because its the question, jim . Because its the one question that everybody wants. How much what has wants. How much of what has happened is down to happened in hawaii is down to the climate situation we are currently in . Right. Its a great question.

Um, obviously its a its a hot place per se. Um, theyre place per se. Um, theyre calling this the worst Natural Disaster that theyve seen since the tsunami of 1960. So thats a long time ago and thats a tsunami. Nothing to do with weather as such. So its right up there in terms of ticking the boxes as far as Climate Change is concerned. But i tend not to look at one at one event and say thats Climate Change. You know, we must put in the box of Climate Change. And what Climate Change. And thats what it well leave it is. As i say, well leave that authorities. That to local authorities. But what on is weve what weve got to do on is weve got to look around whats got to look around at whats happening. A happening.

E um,a um , a major city, 47 valencia um, a major city, 47 degrees, record breaking temperature, three degrees more than the previous not nought point 1 or 0. 2. But but three we see the wildfires on rhodes and corfu. Weve seen people dying in algeria , um, in north africa. Algeria, um, in north africa. And by the way, morocco yesterday breached 50 degrees. Theres something going on that is beyond just single events , if is beyond just single events, if that makes sense. The, the, the Ocean Temperatures at record levels in various places, including around our own shores and in the mediterranean and antarctica. Sea ice at its lower level. And by the way, theyre in winter, not summertime. So i kind of use the terminology of join the dots, join the dots. Join the dots, join the dots. And that leads you to one direction and one direction. And then just say this openly. Then ill just say this openly. I and i believe at i think and i believe were at a Tipping Point and this is now the result of it. Jim, just one of the things that has fuelled the fires is the Hurricane Dorian the pacific. And thats not Climate Change. That is something that happens region so, i happens in this region. So, i mean, there are other factors at play mean, there are other factors at play the thing i play here. The one thing that i wanted to ask you, jim, is how do rhetoric do you feel about the rhetoric thats used climate thats used around Climate Change, global boiling, for example . Well, when we have example . Well, when we have children with recognisable anxiety problems by the language used about whats happening to our climate, how do you feel about some of the rhetoric . Do we need to dial it down bit . We need to dial it down a bit . Stop scaring people. Stop scaring people. I think do you know what . I think a lot that rhetoric, though, lot of that rhetoric, though, and from the and actually comes from the climate denying not not climate denying side, not not not the scientists, not the climate biologists or the meteorologists, the quite reserved and, you know, a lot of flak gets thrown at meteorologists and climatologists about this. And i think they go about their daily job trying to be diligent, trying to present the facts. And i saw alex deakin on a social media actually giving some back, if that makes sense, saying , you if that makes sense, saying, you know, about the colour of the maps and all of this sort of stuff. So i think the actual grammar thats used is primarily used by, by the denier side to make it, to make it into something that is, you know, not, not happening almost in other words, exaggerating the situation. To be fair, jim , that was you to be fair, jim, that was you that was used by, i think, the world health organisation, wasnt it . The actual global boiling us sorry, the un, the un will be. Yeah, there will be individuals here and there and individuals here and there and in the United Nations and elsewhere that will use these these words. But to be frank with you, if you use that, if you use that word to the people of maui now, they will probably agree with you. You know, this is where were at. And you only, as i say, have to look around the globe and see that maybe boiling is the wrong word. But but but the sea temperatures, for example, of miami , of the for example, of miami, of the florida keys there. There are way to boiling. So its not boiling. But there are where you boiling. But there are where you put your your feet into that youre going to know about it. So at that stage , so yeah, were at that stage, john, where the use of vocabulary is quite at a talking point. Lets just say its, its not, its not diffuse things. Not, its not diffuse things. Its not too late, is it . Jim we can still do something. And finally, one very quick question. When are we going to get our summer . Get our summer . I know youre on to this, arent you . Dont you have a little on social media . Little big time on social media . Occasionally. Tell occasionally. Look, ill tell you now, okay . Can change you now, okay . You can change your blue. I like your blue. Although i do like that always ready on tv that youre always ready on tv and have you. Um, but and what have you. Um, but you can back to yellow and can change back to yellow and red and all that red and oranges and all that sort of stuff later this week, especially in southeast. It sort of stuff later this week, espemove in southeast. It sort of stuff later this week, espemove north southeast. It sort of stuff later this week, espemove north and theast. It sort of stuff later this week, espemove north and west. . It sort of stuff later this week, espemove north and west. So the will move north and west. So the answer to the question is give it, give it another week and you will unfolding and you can will see unfolding and you can smile a bit more. Thank you very much.

Now to the story of police arresting an autistic teenager for an alleged homophobic comment. Lets just take a look at how events unfolded. A warning that this is unfolded. A warning that this is actually quite an upsetting clip and it might be distressing for some of you , but you clenching some of you, but you clenching your fists, go away from my teenage daughter. What is wrong with you . What is wrong with you . Me . She didnt aim it at the Police Officer. Homophobic remarks at my mom. Homophobic remarks at my mom. Its not a homophobe remark, she said. I think shes a lesbian. Like. Like nana. Lesbian. Like. Like nana. I think if you want to bully people, you just. Just of them you just get one of them badges you just get one of them bacthats what you do. Thats what you do. Thats what you do. Yeah, exactly. Caitlin how is it . Go right over there. Shes autistic. She dont like people touching her. She will have a meltdown. She wont come out. Meltdown. She wont come out. Shes got autism. Shes got autism. And lisa, talk to her so she can come out. Absolutely horrible, isnt it . The 16 Year Old Girl has been released from bail, but West Yorkshire police is professional Standards Directorate is still looking into the incident after receiving a complaint. Want to receiving a complaint. Want to discuss this, frankly, really disturbing story. Im joined by former london Police Officer and director of law and order foundation, Norman Brennan. Norman, thank you very much for joining us this afternoon. I really im unsure where to begin with this. I mean , youve seen with this. I mean, youve seen the footage. What do you make of what happened . What happened . Well, look, lets put some context on this. Dawn. Police officers are dawn. Police officers are called to incidents every day of the week when they deal with teenagers , those with some sort teenagers, those with some sort of disability or the elderly in general. Theyre quite sensitive. Weve seen a short clip there and many clips. I see on social media, sometimes a conveniently clipped to give a narrative of something that perhaps others are unaware of. If we see an entire clip, we may have found out why the Police Actually attended this address in the first place. What sort of opposition they face, whether it is threatening behaviour , is threatening behaviour, abusive behaviour, what we see is a clip and yes , the context is a clip and yes, the context of it is not pleasant, but also saw dawn that there was another criticism on the pile on on social media where they criticised seven officers attended this address. What they may not know is that if the officer felt threatened, we havent seen that, but it may be in another part of the video they would have touched their red button, which means that all available officers within the vicinity would turn up to back that officer up to ensure that he or she was okay. That was probably why there were seven officers. You wouldnt have seven officers attending the juveniles house for that sort of crime. Crime. So, i mean, obviously , look, so, i mean, obviously, look, you know, we all of us respect sort of like the men and the women on the beat who are doing this job. Women on the beat who are doing thisjob. Its women on the beat who are doing this job. Its an women on the beat who are doing thisjob. Its an incredibly this job. Its an incredibly hard job. You understand hard job. And you understand that is dangerous job and that it is a dangerous job and people , you know, as said, people, you know, as you said, they their they might have pressed their red surely red button. But but surely norman, i mean, its you know, the fact that the police, the force in question on investigating what happened. The girl has been released with no charges whatsoever, although she was held in custody for 20 hours and questioned surely the fact that the police, the force, are investigating means that maybe we the context is what we are seeing. Seeing. Well, look, all of us within policing are certainly when i was in policing is probably the only job where every single officer is a manager, every officer is a manager, every officer has to substantiate the behaviour or actions that theyve taken. And theres many theyve taken. And theres many of us that have attended a scene or an incident where we could have dealt with it better. We have dealt with it better. We could have spoken to somebody better. We may not have needed better. We may not have needed to use the force that we needed. And if thats the case, there will be words advice. Will be words of advice. Therell complaint, and if therell be a complaint, and if its a serious complaint, itll be forwarded to the Crown Prosecution Service or the Office Independent Police office of independent police conduct. What ive seen, dawn, conduct. What ive seen, dawn, and what youve seen is a clip. And yes, its distressing if we saw a bigger clip, pretty much like a court and thats why we have courts, is that youre here what police did and why they what the police did and why they did it, how they were received, and if they could have dealt with it better. What i have seen on social media is demands for the chief constable to resign , the chief constable to resign, the chief constable to resign, the officer to be suspended. The officer to be suspended. Thats not down to you or me. Thats not down to you or me. What weve seen is an incident that doesnt look pleasant, that looks could have looks as though it could have been but have we been handled better. But have we seen the true context and we cant have people being destroyed on social media . And a caveat to all of this, what im talking about is im not here to defend bad policing. Goodness defend bad policing. Goodness me. Ive been on your program and many others condemning some police behaviour. What i will say this , is that i spoke to say is this, is that i spoke to a very Senior Federation Police Federation official this week and discussed an officer who and we discussed an officer who was absolutely slated on social media and he apparently had committed an assault for which i understand he was convicted for. So he would face a penalty for that. But the social media for the lynch mob put him in such a bad place , he committed suicide. Bad place, he committed suicide. So weve got to be careful with context. Weve got to be careful how we use our pylons. We shouldnt really pile on people. And where Police Officers have made a mistake. And if this young officer has made a mistake, its only right. And proper that thats put before the right authority where they see independently what she has done. And either words of advice are given or maybe some disciplinary action will be taken. Taken. Just just just for people that arent aware of the story, what we are aware of at the moment , as i what we are aware of at the moment, as i said, we dont know the full context and thats precisely what West Yorkshire police as the police have said as well. The girl was arrested after telling an officer , you look like my an officer, you look like my lesbian nana , which its you lesbian nana, which its you know, and this was a supposedly a homophobic public order offence, even though it was said in the girls home. Is it possible to commit a public order offence in your own home . No, not really. Um you commit a public order offence normally out in the street, its threatening abusive or violent behaviour towards someone else where it causes fear to other members of the public. Um, the sad reality is, is that not all Police Officers know their full powers all of the time. We have lost 22 000 Police Officers over the last 12, 13 years. Weve been obsessed of recruiting as many as we possibly can. And i believe that there are a number of people that weve recruited a that are not up to standard b, they probably havent got a good grasp of the law. And not only that , since i grasp of the law. And not only that, since i was in policing about homophobia, you know, all these all these different phobias that are put upon the police, that they must they must crack down on this. They must crack down on this. They must crack down on that. And the thing is, Police Officers sometimes perhaps will arrest someone one or threaten to arrest someone. Um, whereas 20, arrest someone. Um, whereas 20, 30 years ago id have given them words of advice and told them to get on their way. But when they get on their way. But when they get involved in a situation get on their way. But when they get initheyd in a situation get on their way. But when they get inithey maya situation get on their way. But when they get inithey may notuation get on their way. But when they get inithey may not have] get on their way. But when they get inithey may not have the where they may not have the power, like in this case, they may not have had the power accelerates to such a degree. It hits social media and suddenly the anti police mob basically make the police look as though theyre all dreadful and crap and dont care. Thats far from the truth. The majority do. Some the truth. The majority do. Some make mistakes. I made mistakes when i was a Police Officer. I when i was a Police Officer. I learnt from them and i become a better person for it. Sometimes we need to just step back a bit and let the right authorities deal with it. The young and let the right authorities deal with it. The young girl is no longer bail and no doubt no longer on bail and no doubt an will attend to make an officer will attend to make sure that shes okay. Kept up to scratch with whats going on and i its learning curve i think its a learning curve for. But one thing for everybody. But one thing that must learn , dawn, is that we must learn, dawn, is that we must learn, dawn, is that have these piles that we cant have these piles on on social media and push people to the point of suicide. Thats what social media is thats not what social media is all about. We allow independent Police Investigations and our courts to deal with wrongdoings by Police Officers. No, of course. Absolutely. No, of course. Absolutely. Thats Norman Brennan there. Thank you very much for joining us afternoon, norman. As i us this afternoon, norman. As i said , disturbing story said, a disturbing story that hopefully will have an outcome. Hopefully will have an outcome. Now we have to read what the West Yorkshire police have said as a statement. We recognise the significant level of public concern that this incident has generated and we have moved swiftly to fully review the evidence in the criminal, investigate section, which has led to the decision to take no further action without pre empting the outcome of the ongoing review. The circumstances by our professional Standards Directorate , we would like to directorate, we would like to reassure people that we will take on board any lessons to be learned from this incident. We learned from this incident. We do appreciate the understandable sensitivities around incidents involving young people and neurodiversity , and we are neurodiversity, and we are genuinely committed to developing how we respond to these often very challenging situations. Us now moving on, situations. Us now moving on, its situations. Us now moving on, wsfime situations. Us now moving on, its time for this weeks political spotlight. The Health Secretary says the latest four day strike by Junior Doctors serves only to harm patients. Serves only to harm patients. But its the fifth time theyve staged a walkout this year in an ongoing dispute over pay. According to the nhs. Almost according to the nhs. Almost 835,000 appointments have been postponed since industrial action began in december. Postponed since industrial action began in december. The action began in december. The British Medical Association say its been left with no choice. Its been left with no choice. But have they . Joining me to but have they . Joining me to discuss this now is gp and chair of coventry local medical committee, dr. Gavin shields. Dr. Shields , thank you very much dr. Shields, thank you very much for joining us this afternoon. For joining us this afternoon. Now the strike is expected to go on for four days. By the end of this four days, were expected over a million appointments and treatments to be cancelled. What do you make of this strike . Well, no one in the Health Service takes the decision to take industrial action lightly. And this was thought through very carefully at and the ballot was put forward to Junior Doctors really on the basis of looking in the long term to protect patients care. I think that over the last decade a lot of juniors finishing training, coming into the nhs have seen worsening conditions , worsening worsening conditions, worsening morale and most worryingly, an increasing loss to the workforce , with colleagues leaving the nhs completely or leaving the nhs completely or leaving the nhs to work abroad in australia, new zealand, canada. And the new zealand, canada. And the difficulty with this is its causing a drain on the workforce with increasing pressure on the existing workforce and the services. And i think that they services. And i think that they felt they didnt have any other opfion felt they didnt have any other option because they were looking forward to what they wanted. Was a long career in the nhs serving patients, which is why we all go into medical school. Thats what we want to do. And looking at a system that they felt was not reliably going provide that reliably going to provide that for them or for patient care , for them or for patient care, and they felt they had to stand up make a comment. It is, of up and make a comment. It is, of course about pay to in real terms the Junior Doctors pay has fallen by 26 since 2009, but that further erodes the desire for our junior colleagues to commit to a long term career in the nhs. And that doesnt serve us well as patients. And we are, us well as patients. And we are, all of us in many ways, patients, our families are patients, our families are patients, the nhs, we all have a stake in this and we all want an nhs that is properly staffed , nhs that is properly staffed, properly funded to be there for us in our time of need now absolutely. Absolutely. Of course, all of that is taken as read, but there isnt a huge fund of money around at the moment and the bma dont seem to be budging on the 35 pay rise. They are asking for, which the government say theyre not budging , theyre not going budging, theyre not going anywhere. Now other Health Professionals and the nurses and paramedics have accepted mid pay offers and negotiated with the government. This does seem to have a more political element to it. If you look at some of the placards that the Junior Doctors are waving outside and its all about sort of like what they think of the tories, what they think of boris johnson. Et cetera. We didnt cetera. Et cetera. We didnt see that with that quite as much with the nurses strike or the paramedics or health care or other health care professionals. Much do you professionals. How much do you think politics is involved in these strike actions . These strike actions . Well, i dont doubt that as doctors like anyone else in the in the population, hold political views. What i would political views. What i would say is that no one of my junior colleagues that ive spoken to talk about this in any political frame whatsoever. They talk about this in terms of six dunng about this in terms of six during safe working practise and continuity of care for their patients. I mean , the ballot patients. I mean, the ballot went out and nearly 80 of eligible Junior Doctors voted and 98 voted for strike action. And doctors again hold a range of political views. I would not believe for one minute that 98 of those balloted all hold views hostile to the tory party that im not saying that there arent placards. I think they probably reflect more the fact that the government has been in for the last decade they feel has caused an overseen an erosion in patient care at and thats caused frustration. But the strike itself is not politically dnven. L strike itself is not politically driven. I would refute that. Driven. I would refute that. Its driven by trying to protect the nhs and protect future care. I do realise that it is terribly inconvenient for patients that appointments are lost. Nobody wants that to happen but the juniors a junior colleagues and my consultant colleagues have felt backed into a corner and really felt what other options are open to them. So some of the people who have voted to take action and are on the picket lines have only been qualified as doctors for two weeks. So so they cant really experience the pressures. You are absolutely rightly describing. Its not easy. Its not an easy job whatsoever. And how do we square the as youve just said, the continuity of care and, you know , caring about care and, you know, caring about the patients with the fact that with the fact that people are potentially going to die. I mean, cancer uk says 40,000 Cancer Patients have experienced potentially deadly postponements due to this strike action. You know, you cant postpone cancer treatments. So how do you square that with the continuity of care , which potentially a Million People in this country are now not going to be getting because of strike action . Of this strike action . Well, first of all, yes , they well, first of all, yes, they may be recently qualified. Some may be recently qualified. Some of them and some of them obviously qualified for obviously been qualified for a lot are still classed lot longer and are still classed as colleagues. Lot longer and are still classed as colleagues. But lot longer and are still classed as colleagues. But from as junior colleagues. But from the moment youre in medical school, youre exposed to the nhs and start to work, integrate with the nhs in hospitals and gp practises. So its not that you spend 4 or 5 years in medical school completely removed from patient facing care and suddenly go out at new into it at the end of it you are integrated right from the start and they have seen right through their training, the pressures that their colleagues are under and have seen. The fact that increasing numbers of them are leaving and that is terribly wasteful. And i think that the balance here, all that you say, but the balance that that my colleagues have gone through to take this decision that nobody wanted to take, it really comes down to, well, if we dont stand up, were actually going to do more harm to patients in the long term. If we allow services is to continue to erode and the workforce to continue to leave and really, its looking to try and really, its looking to try and protect that continuity of care that theyve taken this action. Okay. That is dr. Gavin shields, thank you very much for joining us this afternoon. Dr. Shields. Well, very interesting shields. Well, very interesting what you think about this. Certainly, if you are waiting for appointment, youre with for an appointment, youre with dawn neesom on gb news, on your tv and on Digital Radio.

As always, tell me what you think on everything were discussing by emailing gbviews gbnews. Com or tweet me at gb news. Use. Now at gb news. Use. Now the tragic story aaron was just talking aboutin story aaron was just talking about in the news, French Maritime authorities have confirmed six migrants have died and more than 50 have been rescued after their small boat got into difficulties in the channel morning. Dover channel this morning. Dover lifeboat and several french vessels have been involved in the operation. About five miles off the french coast at. Joining us now to bring us up to date on this story is gb news home and security editor mark white. Mark is a rapidly developing story. What more can you tell us this morning of whats happened and. Well, weve certainly got a much clearer idea of how events unfolded. It was around about 4 am. When a passing ship in the channel noticed a small migrant boat that was is apparently very full of migrants and insignificant difficulty. Reports that many of those on board were using their shoes at just to bail them out. And the just to bail them out. And the Emergency Services were called. By Emergency Services were called. By the time those rescue craft from both france and the uk reached the scene, it was a scene of absolute chaos, with many of those migrants in the water. At that time we had exclusive pictures from our producer here in kent of one of the vessels involved in the rescue, the Border Force Vessel and also the dover life boat, which arrived back at dover with not just just those that theyd rescued from this incident, but also , though, with a number of also, though, with a number of other migrants that they picked up in an incident just before for this particular tragedy unfolded. So it was absolutely full to the gunnels as it arrived at dover harbour alongside another support vessel. Again carrying some of the channel migrants. Vessel. Again carrying some of the channel migrants. And at the the channel migrants. And at the same time, we had the french authorities with five vessels in the area taking casualties to calais. What the french calais. What the french confirmed to us is that one of those was flown by helicopter to calais, was pronounced dead before arriving at the hospital. And then five others who were taken by fast rescue craft to the port of calais were also so confirmed to have died. Now, throughout the day , the search throughout the day, the search operation has continued in the engush operation has continued in the English Channel because the some of the survivors have told rescuers that they believe anything. Between 65 and 68 anything. Between 65 and 68 people may have been on board the vessel. We understand just under 60 were actually rescued. So a number of people potentially still out missing in the channel that are currently being searched for by rescue teams out there. And throughout the day, dawn , this has been the day, dawn, this has been another astonishing day in terms of the small boat activity in the channel and surprise knowingly so because the conditions in the channel this morning were very windy indeed with winds. Well over 20 miles an hour from the south west whipping up the waves in the channel whipping up the waves in the channel, making it almost impossible for these small boats. But the criminal gangs were still pushing them out into the English Channel. And we understand that at least 400 people have crossed out in small boats today , multiple incidents boats today, multiple incidents throughout the day that the rescue services had to respond to. Do we know, mark, the boat confirm and in this particular tragedy, do we know , was it one tragedy, do we know, was it one of the standard dinghies were used seeing now . Well we used to seeing now . Well we dont know, but we certainly know that the people smugglers have been using what theyve been describing as kind of more robust and sturdy small boats in recent weeks. You remember that some of the big tragedies that weve had over the last couple of years involve boats that really just had sort of makeshift plywood bottoms, that anytime there are waves of any significance out there, it can just cause these boats to split and to sink. It boats to split and to sink. It may well have been one of those boats or it could have been one of the newer boats. The trouble with the newer boats, although the people smugglers are partly claiming theyre a bit more claiming that theyre a bit more sturdy, kind of rubber sturdy, theyre kind of rubber throughout. Not a plywood throughout. So not a plywood bottom anymore. But they say a reinforced rubber bottom. But they are putting more in the way of people on board these boats. So a year or so ago, you were you were looking at 30, 40 odd people on the boats. But this people on the boats. But this year thats been creeping up north of 50. And on some days weve seen 60, 70 or more people put on board these boats. Then it doesnt matter how sturdy its claimed these boats might be, they clearly are not. And especially when youre out in wind and waves like that, then there is real potential for tragedy out in the channel as witnessed today. And the other thing to add about this is that the rescue services say this incident today was the seventh incident today was the seventh incident that they have been called to this week in which migrants have ended up in the water. So i think some real concern Going Forward is that perhaps the people smugglers are just becoming more reckless in what theyre doing or its a by product of the fact that theyre just stuffing more and more people on board the boat. But it seems that in terms of the incidents of people in the water and the potential for a real tragedy has increased significantly in recent weeks now compared to what it was before. Yes, of course, you had before. Yes, of course, you had boats coming across and occasional tragedies. But as occasional tragedies. But as i say, in one week, to have seven separate rescue incidents in which migrants ended up in the water is clearly alarming. Thats awful. Mark white, thats awful. Mark white, thank you for updating on that awful tragedy. And obviously thoughts with with with the families of those who have lost their lives and certainly we hope that anyone that is missing is found safely. Thank you very much, mark, for that report. Right now, we do move on at and there is some good stuff around today as well. So lets get stuck into everything thats been kicking off in the world of sport this week. England are through to the semi finals of the womens world cup after beating colombia 2 to 2 one today, they faced co hosts australia. But can the lionesses australia. But can the lionesses go all the way to the final and bnng go all the way to the final and bring it home . Because the boys never do, do they . Anyway, shouldnt say that. I know, but come on. And the premier league is obviously back without harry kane. Is obviously back without harry kane. Harry kane is obviously back without harry kane. Harry kane is off to germany. And, you know, spurs germany. And, you know, spurs fans are in mourning. Germany. And, you know, spurs fans are in mourning. Oh, well, fans are in mourning. Oh, well, im a west ham fan, by the way. And what about this taking the knee business with millionaire players competing in qatar, for example , amounts of money is it example, amounts of money is it all a bit hypocritical . But this season , again, they are once season, again, they are once more bringing back that taking the knee. Right. Okay so lets get started. Its good to talk sport on a saturday, isnt it . Welcome again to my panel, broadcaster and columnist lizzie cundy and former labour Party Adviser matthew lazar. Lizzie. Adviser matthew lazar. Lizzie. Matthew, thank you so much for joining me on a saturday to be with you, dawn. And its coming home. Its coming home. Were in the semi finals. You know what . Im so excited. I mean, this the semi finals. You know what . the1 so excited. I mean, this the semi finals. You know what . the pinnacle ed. I mean, this the semi finals. You know what . the pinnacle of i mean, this the semi finals. You know what . the pinnacle of anyonesthis is the pinnacle of anyones career and the girls are going to do it. And who would have thought they they beat nigeria with penalties. They always say, with penalties. They always say, you know, were famously terrible at penalties and we got through there. We havent got , through there. We havent got, though, lauren james, whos the star forward. Shes been star forward. Shes been replaced ella tone. So, you replaced by ella tone. So, you know, she did a bit of a know, she she did a bit of a naughty foul put her hands up, said sorry but she was going to miss two games. But but the girls are on a winning streak and ive got a really you know, im not just got my lucky pants on. Im telling now theyre on. Im telling you now theyre going to it. They really are. Going to do it. They really are. Im actually im im so excited. And who would have thought that womens taking womens football would be taking off like this . Absolutely. And absolutely. Exactly. And i think. Isnt great, think. Isnt that great, matthew . I mean, sort of like i think theres how many odds . 1500 supporters have actually travelled to the tournament in australia and its not around the corner. Not around the its not exactly around the corner, is it . Most them women. 10 most of them are women. 10 are the are men as well. Supporting the girls it is great, girls out there. So it is great, you know, even if youre how big a fan are you, by the way . Im not massive football im not a massive football fan. Going im going im not a massive football farlook. Going im going im not a massive football farlits. Going im going im not a massive football farlits fantasticng im going im not a massive football farlits fantastic to im going im not a massive football farlits fantastic to ithe oing its fantastic to see the womens game getting the attention resources that attention and the resources that it deserves. And so, i mean, look, all to look, you know, all credit to the lionesses and let them go. No problem. Is im half no problem. Ive got is im half aussie i have a dilemma in aussie so i have a dilemma in the in the next round there we go. There we go. There we go. Im actually actually my i think i know who im really supporting. Of course. Absolutely. Of course. Absolutely. Sitting between lizzie and by the way of course. The way of course. Yes. Yes. But i mean its i think its a great boost just for a great boost not just for womens for Womens Womens football, for womens sport think that its lets and i think that its lets hope that it allows womens sport in more fields to get the attention it deserves. And the tv time it deserves as well. Well, absolutely. And that well, absolutely. And that game against australia is on the 16th at 11 am. Oh, gosh, i cant wait. Oh, gosh, i cant wait. Really cant wait. Im so i really cant wait. Im so excited. Well have full coverage here on gb news as well, obviously. Now, the women i now, the thing is, the women i mean, the european championship, we are performing, we women are performing better than the men, but why do you think im going to ask you this, matthew, because you being one of those being being the token fella, being being the token fella, being the token boy on the panel being the token boy on the panel, why why are men still so scathing about the womens game . Well, i think its partly sexism. Lets face it. You know, and i think its partly a bit of sort of jealousy and embarrassment as lizzie says, that the boys one of you both of you said the boys havent exactly brought it home. Weve had how years of waiting had how many years of waiting and waiting. We wait for and waiting. Now, as we wait for the National Bring to the National Side to bring to bnng the National Side to bring to bring some silverware home. Bring some some silverware home. So thats part of it and so i think thats part of it and i part it is just what i think part of it is just what people you know , people are used to. You know, its changed for people see its changed for people to see Womens Womens football on the telly treated just as seriously , quite rightly, as the mens game. So i think it will lessen as time goes on. You know . I mean, come on blokes, you know, it. Lets celebrate success, british success. Its a feel good factor, isnt it . Isnt it . And lets face it, we could do with that. At the moment really do at the moment we really do with at the moment we really do witibut sadly in football but sadly in football there still are those old dinosaurs that dont like women in football, they want them football, they dont want them as and linesmen and now as referees and linesmen and now were seeing women actually taking over the sponsors. The taking over the sponsors. The brands are coming in and, you know what . Theyre winning something our boys dont something that our boys dont always do. Exactly. And you know what, exactly.

Youre with dawn neesom on gb news on tv and on Digital Radio. Now lets have a look at what youve been saying. Jess says , i think been saying. Jess says, i think as a government is using Charity Funded lifeboats to bolster their operations , they should their operations, they should pay their operations, they should pay for them. Meanwhile, jill pay for them. Meanwhile, jill says the doctors strike is destroying the trust of the pubucin destroying the trust of the public in the nhs. Personally i feel really unsafe about going into hospital if doctors have so little regard for the hippocratic oath , the doctors on hippocratic oath, the doctors on the picket line, frankly look like theyre having a jolly good time at glastonbury. Very strong views there, but a lot of strong emotions. If youre waiting for an obviously. An appointment, obviously. Meanwhile paul why meanwhile paul says, why does the keep pushing womens the media keep pushing womens football . , football . Its slow, unprofessional, no skills shown and schoolboy level compared to the mens. Thank you for that, the mens. Thank you for that, paul the mens. Thank you for that, paul. And yes, right. Okay. Were moving on. Its time for the Great British debate. Im asking should ministers be sacked over the bbc stockholm farce . The home offices stop the boats week hasnt quite gone to plan, has it . Conservative ministers are facing calls to resign as all 39 migrants aboard the bibby stockholm had to be evacuated after legionella bacteria was discovered in the water supply. This latest blow water supply. This latest blow comes as the number of migrants crossing the channel in the last five years hit 100,000. The barge is part of the governments migration policy intended to cut the cost of housing asylum seekers. But its housing asylum seekers. But its not been smooth sailing , with not been smooth sailing, with delays over safety concerns and a flurry of legal challenges. As a flurry of legal challenges. As shadow immigration minister Stephen Kinnock said the government had turned itself into a laughing stock, while top tory david davis says this weeks shows the startling incompetence of the home office. So for the Great British debate, i am asking should ministers actually be sacked over the bibby stockholm farce . Now joining me is a former chief immigration officer at uk border force, Kevin Saunders , former force, Kevin Saunders, former labour special adviser and columnist Paul Richards. Labour special adviser and columnist Paul Richards. And no columnist Paul Richards. And no to the barge campaigner martin summers. Martin, to the barge campaigner martin summers. Martin, im going to come to you first, actually, because the awful tragedy weve seen overnight in the channel with migrants losing their lives. How does it make you feel about the barge situation as a whole . Obviously, your group is very, very vocal about it being unfair on the community and unfair on the community and unfair on the community and unfair on migrants. So when you witness the tragedy weve seen overnight , how do you feel about overnight, how do you feel about what the governments handling of the situation is . Well i just of the situation is . Well i just think that the barge itself was supposed to be held as some sort of solution to the hotel issue. And now its just working out as just one great big expensive embarrassment. You know , they they make they you know, they they make they make these sweeping kind of ridiculous ideas. Ridiculous ideas. The rwanda plan didnt take off the bibby stockholm home plan is now sinking along the whole idea of these ridiculous plans that theyre just not thinking about, just arent working. Its just not not working. Its just not not working. Its just not not working. I mean , he said it was i mean, he said it was a perfectly decent accommodation. Perfectly decent accommodation. Well, really, you know, a pubuc well, really, you know, a Public Health expert said that the bacteria would have been an obvious thing to test on the whole thing is just so badly managed from top to bottom. What whats the next thing thats going to go wrong . Thats going to go wrong . Kevin, lets can you answer that question . Can you say that . That question . Can you say that . No heads should not roll and the government are im assuming by that comment doing an accept job. But, you know, rwanda , the job. But, you know, rwanda, the barges , the tents, the ascension barges, the tents, the ascension islands , none of these things islands, none of these things seem to be stopping the boats crossing and people losing their lives is no , theyre not. Lives is no, theyre not. But if you if we deal with rwanda first, that hasnt been achieved. And because of the achieved. And because of the interference of the courts. So interference of the courts. So we cant really judge rwanda until all weve got a judgement from the Supreme Court saying that we can send people off there and watch what happens then. Then you will see you will see a reduction in people coming across the channel now going on to the barge. It hasnt been exactly a success this week. But on the other hand, you cant really blame ministers for the fact that theres a legionnaires outbreak on the boat thats down, unfortunately, to the Civil Servants and the people managing who, um, who said it was okay for it, for people to board. So i would imagine that this afternoon when the home secretary has her meeting there are going to be some people with some sore ears because you cant you cant you just cant blame the politicians for an outbreak of legionnaires. Of legionnaires. Sorry. Sorry. Surely the buck stops with the boss. Suella braverman is the boss. Suella braverman is the boss. Suella braverman is the boss in this case, so she has to answer questions on whats happened. I mean, Paul Richards , what do you make of i richards, what do you make of i mean, nothing seems to be working. And as weve heard in the news, people are still dying in those boats. In those boats. I mean, if you dont approach this with a degree of compassion , then you should have a word with yourself. Frankly, i mean, six more dead overnight and hundreds in the water. The problem of dawn is not, you know, whether its a big enough a boat or whether its clean enough or whether there are the problem are enough hotels. The problem is not dealing with it as is were not dealing with it as source. And the only way to stop source. And the only way to stop the boats is to smash the gangs. Got smash those youve got to smash those gangs making money out gangs that are making money out of people who have a really, you know, perfectly laudable desire to make a better life for themselves, something that we all share. But the british minister dont seem to be able to coordinate with their french and belgian counterparts , seems to belgian counterparts, seems to be beyond their wit to just get together and sort this out and put the people in jail who are profiting off this inhumane traffic. So thats thats how you do it. Stop the boats. You smash the gangs. Should ministers resign too easy . Frankly i think, you know, just blaming a minister and, you know, deputy heads must roll and all that. I dont think is the answer. The fault lies in the design of the policy, which is obviously a palpably failing. Obviously a palpably failing. Right. Unfortunately, thats all weve got time for in this section of the show. Thats Kevin Saunders , Paul Richards Kevin Saunders, Paul Richards and martine simons, thank you very much for joining and martine simons, thank you very much forjoining me and martine simons, thank you very much for joining me this afternoon. An incredibly heated topic that is well, its going topic that is well, its going to go on and on until we find a solution and people are still dying. Youre with dawn neesom dying. Youre with dawn neesom on gb news on tv and Digital Radio. After the break, well continue with the Great British debate im asking, should ministers be sacked over the bibby stockholm vase .

Matthew, do we . The boat was yeah , i mean, its just its yeah, i mean, its just its absolutely heartbreaking. Absolutely heartbreaking. And i think it was a reminder that sometimes in this debate, when you say that should when you say that we should stop the people me the boats and people like me sort left of the sort of on the left of the spectrum political spectrum of the political spectrum, get stick spectrum, sometimes get stick from people left on the from people further left on the political saying, oh, political spectrum saying, oh, you all just you know, thats all just playing into the reason to stop the not just because the boats is not just because people are worried to hear about immigration. Also because people are worried to hear about immig huge. Also because people are worried to hear about immighuge human;o because people are worried to hear about immig huge human cost cause people are worried to hear about immig huge human cost thate of the huge human cost that weve today. Sadly, all too weve seen today. Sadly, all too all too rarely for too many of those who are coming here on these , you know, these very these, you know, these very rickety boats. So i mean, its a reminder that we need a solution and we need a solution for last. And sadly, as weve seen with the barge , we havent got one the barge, we havent got one because farce. Because the barge is a farce. Its a solution. Because the barge is a farce. Itsyeah. Solution. Because the barge is a farce. Its yeah. Lizzie, n. Because the barge is a farce. Its yeah. Lizzie, i|.

Last week, there was zero zero migrants on the barge. This time this week there were zero migrants on barge. Its just migrants on the barge. Its just as says , its as lizzie absolutely says, its trying to problems by trying to sort problems by gimmicks. And they think the gimmicks. And they think and the problem is, if politically for them, because they them, its stupid because they backfire. Would be much backfire. So it would be much better if the barge had never been mentioned. Yes. Problem better if the barge had never been rstill oned. Yes. Problem better if the barge had never been rstill bead. Yes. Problem better if the barge had never been rstill be there. S. Problem better if the barge had never been rstill be there. But problem better if the barge had never been rstill be there. But jthelem would still be there. But at the moment, weve got the problem and costing and the barge. Its costing a fortune and is just a joke. So the barges, we need a solution, a proper solution. The barges can only hold 506 people and last week, i think on one actual boat there was 750 that came over. But so its not its not its not a ripple in the ocean , is not a ripple in the ocean, is it . And its just disastrous. Its preposterous. Its not fair its preposterous. Its not fair for anybody. And its an absolute joke. And what were they going to do, have these they going to do, have all these barges a movie , barges like, you know, a movie, you know, like kevin costner, waterworld , all these barges all waterworld, all these barges all over and you know, over the place. And you know, the want it. The communities didnt want it. Its not its never going to work. The interesting thing with this problem is, is the left and the right and local communities all agree that its not a solution. It doesnt help anybody. It doesnt help the migrants. It doesnt help the migrants. It doesnt help the local communities. And it certainly is proving to be probably quite lethal as well. Yeah. And sadly, dont look, rishi is not stopping the boats. He said stop the boats and he is not doing that. Hes not dealing with the crux, the grass roots , with the crux, the grass roots, which is the gangs. And now these gangs who stuffed all these gangs who stuffed all these people , these poor people these people, these poor people onto boat and weve now got onto this boat and weve now got deaths and it was really worrying what mark was saying. Disgusting yeah. Were hearing more people boat, more more people on the boat, more people individual boats. People on the individual boats. Really and that was really why i asked size of that asked him the size of that boat, because people because if there was 60 people on dinghies, were on one of those dinghies, were used the problem weve got but the problem weve got regards to what side of the political divide youre on is , political divide youre on is, is we need an overnight solution. An obviously, we all know that there needs to be, you know , there needs to be, you know, smoother, sort of like, you know, asylum applications process getting through that backlog, a much more efficient system for that for migration in general. But thats not going to general. But thats not going to happen overnight. No. No. No. So what is the answer . So what is the answer . Well, i think one of the answers, is one of the answers, which is one of the ideas and ideas labours put forward and there bullet. And, ideas labours put forward and therknow, bullet. And, ideas labours put forward and therknow, but bullet. And, ideas labours put forward and therknow, but bfixzt. And, you know, but is to fix countries where its clearly safe to return people. You effectively need to be doing a Conveyor Belt that are Conveyor Belt so that people are here days , not weeks. Here for days, not weeks. And weve a little bit of that weve seen a little bit of that from this government with albania. An email albania. I mean, i got an email this ryanair saying, this week from ryanair saying, you holiday to you know, come on holiday to albania obviously albania. And yet obviously a lot of albania coming of people in albania are coming here, not for holiday. So here, not for a holiday. So clearly, people can be sent back to countries that are safe enough, not just that people can go british go there, but for british tourists expand tourists. So we need to expand that to all those countries on the safe list. Effectively turnaround. Weve two separate issues weve got two separate issues because weve got 180,000 that are still waiting to be are still being waiting to be processed , some for year, processed, some up for a year, which is absolutely disgusting. And unfair for them. Its not fair for them. But, you know, what are these people now going back to another hotel . Are there any more hotels . Is the any more hotels . This is the problem. What do overnight . What do we do overnight . What do we do overnight . Got to do but what weve got to do is literally stop the stop literally stop the fall, stop the get the border force the boats, get the border force on borders. France, on the borders. France, obviously, lets stop giving money to them because they dont seem be them. And money to them because they dont seejust be them. And money to them because they dont seejust are them. And money to them because they dont seejust a waste them. And money to them because they dont seejust a waste andthem. And money to them because they dont seejust a waste and wasteand money to them because they dont seejust a waste and waste ofd its just a waste and waste of money. The cohen deal isnt. And im deal isnt im sorry the current deal isnt working. Out of working. Take a leaf out of australias just turn australias book and just turn them back. They have to be returned. The interesting thing, matthew , is labour havent ruled matthew, is labour havent ruled out barges. Out using barges. No, i mean if there are people the barge, well if and people on the barge, well if and when labour into when labour comes into government will government then the barge will have a have to remain in use for a limited time. But really limited time. But it really isnt of isnt a solution. I mean one of the has is the other ideas labour has is to take it wouldnt take the money that it wouldnt be would be spent on rwanda. Of course, sent course, at the moment weve sent more secretaries on photo more home secretaries on Photo Opportunities to rwanda than we have seekers, i. E. Zero. Have asylum seekers, i. E. Zero. And weve got through a fair few home labour home secretaries. So labour would that and spend would take that money and spend it new police unit to work, it on a new police unit to work, cross to work europe, it on a new police unit to work, crcactually to work europe, it on a new police unit to work, crcactually try work europe, it on a new police unit to work, crcactually try and rk europe, it on a new police unit to work, crcactually try and try europe, it on a new police unit to work, crcactually try and try andrope, it on a new police unit to work, crcactually try and try and fixe, to actually try and try and fix it at source. But its hard. Theres no easy theres no costing 6 million a day, if not more. More. And theres already over 400 hotels in the uk that are packed full of migrants. Three years ago, it was £20 a night was the average because obviously the easy pickings, you know, kind of hostel know, of kind of hostel accommodation was being used. Know, of kind of hostel acc0|itsodation was being used. Know, of kind of hostel acc0|its £100� n was being used. Know, of kind of hostel acc0|its £100 a was being used. Know, of kind of hostel acc0|its £100 a night eing used. Know, of kind of hostel acc0|its £100 a night ong used. Know, of kind of hostel acc0|its £100 a night on average now its £100 a night on average because theyve run out of anywhere them in. Anywhere cheap to put them in. Shes to im sorry. Shes got to go. Im sorry. Shes go. Absolutely. And shes got to go. Absolutely. And i have to get rid of i think we have to get rid of the judges. Know the european judges. I know you dont because we dont agree with me because we will get a plane off will never, ever get a plane off to rwanda without , you know, why to rwanda without, you know, why are we listening to european judges . Lets do it. And turn those boats back. Thats why i love her. Thats why i love her. Strong opinions , indeed. Strong opinions, indeed. Thats what its all about. But this show is nothing without you and views. So lets welcome and your views. So lets welcome one of our Great British voices this is your opportunity to be on the and tell us what you on the show and tell us what you really the topics on the show and tell us what you really discussing. The topics on the show and tell us what you really discussing. This topics on the show and tell us what you really discussing. This hour. S on the show and tell us what you really discussing. This hour. We were discussing. This hour. We are heading to bristol to speak with regular voice , lee harris. With regular voice, lee harris. Lee, good afternoon. Thank you for joining us this afternoon. For joining us this afternoon. Youve heard what the panel have had to say about heads rolling over the bibby stockholm fast, as its called. What do as its being called. What do you make of this . You make of this . I agree with a lot of what the panel just said , although the panel just said, although i do take a slightly more nuanced approach on the barge itself. So, you know, theres absolute no doubt that the problem with legionnaires is very embarrassing for the government. But instead of government. But instead of sacking ministers, i just want them to sort it. I mean , why them to sort it. I mean, why they even moved people onto the barge before the test results came back . I honestly know. You it wouldnt you know, it wouldnt actually me if this was actually surprise me if this was down woke hating down to our woke tory hating Civil Service who are ideologically opposed to the government. Government policy. But thats another conversation. You know, conversation. But you know, i agree. This is ridiculous and the optics are terrible. But lets just keep things in perspective. Is the kind of perspective. This is the kind of nuanced i have to this nuanced approach i have to this this a pretty standard test, this is a pretty standard test, and it was basically a timing issue. The water be treated issue. The water will be treated and the problem will likely to be resolved in a matter of days. No how woke left no matter how much the woke left cry overall , the cry about it. But overall, the standard of the accommodation is fine. These barges have fine. These barges have been chartered by the private sector and you the reviews and if you look at the reviews on sea oil on their website, north sea oil workers whove chartered the exact barge loved it so exact same barge loved it so much they extended the contract for another months and for another eight months and they might complain those who are but its are going on board. But its certainly nicer than certainly not a lot nicer than a tent in calais. But what we have to remember is and this is the overarching point i wanted to make, biggest con was make, is the biggest con was never to be a long term never meant to be a long Term Solution to illegal migration. The barge is primarily there to help reduce the extortionate hotel bills the public are paying hotel bills the public are paying to house illegal migrants, which, as we know, is a eye watering £6 million a day. Thats the farce. If there if thats the farce. If there if there ever was one. So i get the logic. But the real farce , as logic. But the real farce, as lizzie quite brilliantly put a minute ago, is that our entire our immigration system is broken and the fact we still have small boats illegally entering the uk in huge numbers and people are tragically dying, it just has to stop. We need a deterrent and we need to sort the problem out at source. You know, ill finish on source. You know, ill finish on this. You know whats even more worrying is if and when labour gets in, this is a party you openly say that they want an accepting and welcoming country for illegal immigrants. They hate environment hate this hostile environment for illegal migration. Its just going to get much worse. Its going to get much worse. Its going to get much worse. Its going to be a green light for criminal criminal gangs. And if they dont do that, theyll probably have amnesty probably have like an amnesty where just basically let where they just basically let everyone anyway. So its not everyone in anyway. So its not going to get any better under laboun going to get any better under labour. Get labour. Itll probably get worse, agree with people worse, but i agree with people when say the conservatives when they say the conservatives need punished at the need need to get punished at the ballot. As you know, this is ballot box. As you know, this is been a problem for successive governments. I appreciate that, but you cant let them get away with i totally that. Lee with it. I totally get that. Lee lee, thank you very much. Harris joining lee harris there joining us from again, very , very from bristol. Again, very, very strong this ongoing strong opinions on this ongoing debate that lets be honest, no one really seems to have an answer for the overnight situation that were facing now. Youre with dawn neesom on gb. Youre with dawn neesom on gb news, on your tv and on Digital Radio. Still to come, its our weekly royal roundup with the wonderful angela levin.

So its fairly breezy out and about certainly evening. Certainly through the evening.

Boxt the temperatures rising. Boxt solar proud sponsors of weather on gb news. On gb news. Youre with dawn neesom on gb news on tv and on Digital Radio. Coming up in the next hour, our next Great British debate. Im asked , is britain becoming empty asked, is britain becoming empty car . Thats going to be another feisty one, isnt it . Youre feisty one, isnt it . Youre doing dawn neesom on gb news on tv and on Digital Radio. Theres gb news radio. Welcome back. Youre with dawn neesom on gb news on tv and on Digital Radio. Now theres always something going on in the Royal Household , isnt there . Royal household, isnt there . And this week has been absolutely no different. Prince harry, his Royal Highness title has finally been removed from the royal family website three years after it was agreed he would lose it in the megxit agreement. I cant believe its been actually, each been three years. Actually, each saturday you rundown saturday we give you the rundown on what is happening and in those royal palaces at and in california, obviously so and who better to delve into this than royal biographer angela levin who joins me now. Angela hello. See you. Thanks for joining who joins me now. Angela hello. See you. Thanks forjoining us. See you. Thanks for joining us. Afternoon on a on a saturday afternoon. Now, angela, what it is happening whats the latest on harry . He seems to be having quite a successful tour , if quite a successful tour, if thats right of the far thats the right word of the far east. Thats very east. Yeah thats very interesting the harry interesting because the harry that weve seen in japan two days ago in singapore for days ago and in singapore for today, even though he was he got polo, it was 7 to 7. So he didnt win. Is it the old harry that was full of laughter and fun and seemed quite relaxed and you dont know whether thats because hes got away from meghan a bit. And im being nervous that shes, you know, hes got to do the right thing or he just feels that its quite nice if he takes the front line and gets a bit of satisfaction for what hes doing because the last year or so hes walked right behind us, sometimes behind her mother , as sometimes behind her mother, as well as if hes a sort of servant there to help her along. So maybe he just feels a bit happier being on his own because he is. There was one of his best mates as well, isnt he . He is polo. Hes there a polo. Hes there with a mate. I dont its his best mate, dont think its his best mate, but its certainly not the other persons mate because his persons best mate because his closest friends are zara and her husband, but hes got along with him because they they like him, but hes not actually a super best friend. Right . So you i mean, by inference, im guessing here that sort of like meghan probably makes her husband quite nervous. Well, i think she does make him nervous because shes very demanding woman. And if he doesnt things right, she doesnt get things right, she gets cross with him. But gets very cross with him. But i think whats also will make her cross something that he cant avoid is that hes lost his hrh as you said, after three years and that was really done very quietly by the royal family taking it away from their website. Now weve all a lot of people have said that. King charles was too shy or didnt want to was too easy going or he was too soft with harry. But obviously he was the one who actually got this going wrong. But the point is, as well, actually got this going wrong. But the point is, as well , that but the point is, as well, that harry should be removed from , harry should be removed from, um, his position, his succession and the line is still fifth in line to the throne. So its a way down on the website now, hasnt he. Website now, hasnt he. Well, its way down on the website, but he still is fifth in line. Mean , so you know, if in line. I mean, so you know, if deliberately unfortunate that charles would go and then william would go, you know the children are much too young. And i think its quite right. He doesnt like this country. He doesnt like this country. He doesnt like this country. He doesnt like what the royal family is doing. He should be taken out of this. The taken out of this. The succession line. And that would succession line. And that would make it very different and much happier. So you think he should be removed completely from succession . Yes , absolutely. Yes, absolutely. Yes, absolutely. He doesnt deserve to be a succession. We couldnt possibly have him as charles would ever be brave enough to do that. Yes. Im sure thats the next in line. Really . Do you think thats whats coming next . But slowly, slowly. It yeah, but slowly, slowly. It wont think wont happen for a bit. I think they wait until meghans they might wait until meghans memoirs come out. If another non stop attack on on. Shes not right royal family. Yes she is writing her memoirs. Oh dear. Yes. So well hear yet again moan and groan after. What a terrible time shes had. So, i mean there was a poll in america this week that revealed william is actually the more popular member of the royal family. Yes oh, no, no. Hes the most popular person they know of the world. I mean, what they feel in america. Hes gone right to the top. Oh, wow. Yes. And then top. Oh, wow. Yes. And then biden is number three and the president of ukraine, lynskey is number two. So theyve really chosen of all these top men who they like best. And that is william. And im sure harry will be spitting. Its not going to be spitting. Its not going to be very, very cross. No. Be very, very cross. No. And there is , you know, the and there is, you know, the late queen never stopped hoping there would be a reconciliation with harry and meghan. Thats not going to happen now, is it . Oh, no, she really wanted that. She was very strict that. But she was very strict and made them promise that they wouldnt hrh. She said they wouldnt use hrh. She said they could it, but they couldnt could keep it, but they couldnt use it and they agreed with that and theyve broken it loads of times , sometimes necessarily times, sometimes not necessarily their , whereas it put on their fault, whereas it put on top of what theyre doing for a Charity Something like that. Charity or Something Like that. But they could have actually got rid it off because rid of it, taken it off because theyd broken a promise with the queen. So always felt that queen. So id always felt that nothing would happen while the queen and King Charles Queen was there and king charles wouldnt. Then Prince Charles wouldnt. Then Prince Charles wouldnt anything because he wouldnt do anything because he wouldnt do anything because he wouldnt want to upset his mother. But now shes passed and its just coming up to the First Anniversary in september that he can actually do more what he thinks is right. And i think the way hes attacked harrys attacked camilla is completely unfair. Unfair. Thats yeah. Thats yeah. And i think that would that was done really to make king charles more unhappy. He could take it for himself, i charles more unhappy. He could take it for himself , i believe, take it for himself, i believe, but i dont think he could bear it for wife, had such a it for his wife, who had such a terrible beginning it for his wife, who had such a terribishe beginning it for his wife, who had such a terribishe devoted beginning it for his wife, who had such a terribishe devoted herself1ing it for his wife, who had such a terribishe devoted herself tog it for his wife, who had such a terribishe devoted herself to him when she devoted herself to him to support him to and do the best she can for the country. Best she can for the country. Angela, unfortunately, i could talk to all we could talk to you all day. We have were running have to move on. Were running out thank very out of time. Thank you very much. Doesnt very much. But it doesnt sound very positive though, positive for harry, though, does it . Neesom it . Youre watching dawn neesom on to come in the on gb news.

Me and my panel will be taking it on some of the big topics hitting the headlines right now. This show is all about opinion. Mine are theirs and yours. Most importantly, yours. Well be debating , discussing and at debating, discussing and at times disagreeing. And join me times disagreeing. And join me on the panel today is lizzie cundy and matthew lazor. On the panel today is lizzie cundy and matthew lazor. But still to come, my difficult conversation today is a really important one. Its a hard topic to talk about. I think its important with one death every 40s around the world from suicide. I will be joined by suicide. I will be joined by rachel swan , ceo of grassroots rachel swan, ceo of grassroots Suicide Prevention, who are empowering people to save lives from suicide through educating, connecting and campaigning nationally. And for the Great British debate this hour, im asking is britain becoming anti car . With wales set to anti car . With wales set to introduce a new 20 mile an hour speed limit . And sadiq khans speed limit . And sadiq khans continuing with his ulez expansion is the british motorist always losing out . As always, you can email gbviews gbnews. Uk or tweet us at. Gb news. And now its time for this weeks difficult conversation. An and it is conversation. An and it is a difficult conversation , but one difficult conversation, but one we all need to have. Someone we all need to have. Someone dies from suicide every 40s resulting in more deaths than all the yearly victims of wars and Natural Disaster and twice as many as homicides. In the uk alone, approximately 150 people die by their by suicide every week. 1 in 15 will die by their by suicide every week. 1 in 15 will attempt suicide at some point in their life, and its estimated in england and wales that at least 140,000 people go to hospital each year, having attempted suicide. Suicide is also the leading cause of death for people under 35, which is just shocking, isnt it . Now rachel swan is the ceo of grassroots Suicide Prevention , and their Suicide Prevention, and their campaign aims to reduce and change the stigma around suicide by talking openly about it, which is what were doing now. Which is what were doing now. And joining me to discuss this isindeed and joining me to discuss this is indeed that ceo of grassroots Suicide Prevention, rachel swan. Rachel well, thank you so much for joining us this afternoon. Really appreciate your time on saturday afternoon. Rachel, this is an incredible, difficult conversation to have, but it is so important we talk about it. So important we talk about it. Can you just tell us a little bit more about what your organisation does and how you became involved in it . Became involved in it . Yeah. Dawn, thank you so much for having me on the show today. Um, so we grassroots Suicide Prevention, were a National Charity focusing on Suicide Prevention and weve been working in that area for 20 years. Um, you know, our mission is really to save, save more lives to suicide and we really specialise around connecting people to support educating and also campaigning. And and what, also campaigning. And and what, how did you get involved in it personally . Rachel, if you dont mind me asking. Asking. Yeah, ive always had from a very young age, a real passion for supporting people, and ive done that throughout my career. Done that throughout my career. But actually, you know, we know 135 people are affected by suicide. Ive personally been affected by suicide. And so as many of the other people ive also experienced real difficult trauma through childhood. Thats one of the biggest risk factors around suicide, as many of us. So i really got a real passion for trying to help and bring those numbers down. They are increasing and we need to take more action as a whole community to really support people. To really support people. And how do you support people . I mean, obviously when people . I mean, obviously when people are are so depressed and so suffering from sort of like, you know, the sort of feelings that trigger suicidal thoughts , that trigger suicidal thoughts, how do you reach out to people . Because its so very often people keep this feelings to themselves. Themselves. Youre so right, dawn, and theres such a big stigma about which really prevents people from speaking out. So i would really encourage anybody thats listening to this today , if listening to this today, if youre having any suicidal thoughts or thoughts of that nature, really encourage you to speak out. Speak to your friend, your neighbour, your work colleague. Just Start Talking and opening up because youll be really surprised about the response. You know, as you said earlier, dawn, you know, 1 in 5 people will, will, will experience suicidal thoughts in their lifetime and that will be a really complex issue. There could be a whole range of reasons why someones reached that point of crisis. It could that point of crisis. It could be domestic abuse. It could being bullied at school. It could really wide range. It could be a really wide range. It could be a really wide range. It could Mental Health issue. Could be a Mental Health issue. But around mental but its not just around Mental Health. People experiencing suicidal thoughts for many different reasons. So i think i would say definitely weve got a free stay alive mobile app which has been downloaded by nearly a Million People. Its now across 212 countries. As you can find help in your local area. Its help in your local area. Its got 600 resources on it. So i really encourage people to download that. First and foremost. And also on our foremost. And also on our website , dawn, weve got a website, dawn, weve got a really good video called real talk and its free and it really teach you anybody about how to have that conversation to really help somebody open up and learn about the risk factors and the causes and be in that position to really help someone. Anyone can do it. Can do it. Do you think, rachel . Im one of the most Shocking Facts when we were researching what you do is the fact that so many young people will, you know, take their own lives. I mean, what what is the reason behind the fact that it is people under 35 . Theres a huge amount of research happening and its evolving all the time. We know evolving all the time. We know like with adult suicide , there like with adult suicide, there are a multitude of factors. So are a multitude of factors. So that can be childhood trauma. It can be online, you know, online harms and gambling and substance misuse. And there is really, you misuse. And there is really, you know, theres a whole range of factors. But what we do know, as we as you said, dawn, is the biggest killer now of the under 35. Really need to do as 35. And we really need to do as a whole community to do more at grassroots. Weve Suicide Prevention. Weve training in schools now. So really teaching schools now. So really teaching teachers to be able to have those conversations with our students and also involved in research to teach students directly. So its really directly. So its really important that we are giving everybody the skills to be able to have those those conversations and open up and really break down that stigma. Really break down that stigma. Do you think that obviously the pandemic where enormous Mental Health issues going on with coping with the pandemic and the fact that we are we live less in community now . Rachel, we dont talk to each other most of the time. We have our phones or a screen in front of us. So so how much more would it be . Would it help if we actually stopped and talk to each other rather than sending a text message . Message . I think its cool for everybody to be more compassionate. You know , in our compassionate. You know, in our communities. Absolutely but there are so Many Charities like grassroots Suicide Prevention and many others. I mean, we work and many others. I mean, we work with sort of 17 Mental Health charities all working together to improve access and the quality of those services. Were working with local authorities and the nhs. There are lots of lots of organisations really trying to help people. So i think it is it is there are a range of risk factors and it is about encouraging that conversation and open up and giving people the tools to be able to really support somebody. And for some people that will be ongoing suicidal ideation. So having, you know, getting access to the right pathways of support is really important. So and your the app again , is called stay alive. And thats available where you can get apps from on our website. Dawn yeah which is prevent hyphen suicide. Org uk and you can find everything that ive spoken about today on our website. Brilliant rachel and the message is no matter how dark a place youre in, there is always is a way out of it. Thats brilliant. Theres always hope with timely intervention and support.

News welcome back. Coming up, have my panel been paying attention to the news this week . Oh, god. To the news this week . Oh, god. Well find out with our quick fire quiz. But up next, our Great British debate is britain becoming anti car or britains news. Channel right us. Dawn neesom on gb news on tv and on Digital Radio. Its time for our Great British debate this hour. For our Great British debate this hour. Im asking, is britain anti car the Welsh Government . Labour government, Labour Government, by the way, plans to enact a 20 miles an hour per hour speed limit starting from next month , and it starting from next month, and it has been branded its own version of londons hated ulez scheme. A of londons hated ulez scheme. A petition against the plan has currently raised over 20,000 signatures. Now is this ulez ideology spreading around the world . Should motorists be punished . Motorists i dont even drive. But motorists are blamed for everything wrong and 20 miles an hour. Really. So for the Great British debate this houn the Great British debate this hour, im asking is britain anti car . Now, remember rishi anti car . Now, remember rishi sunak said he was on the side of the do believe him the motorist. Do you believe him 7 the motorist. Do you believe him . Im joined by former founder of Fairfield Howard cox, police local commentator Peter Spencer , director of car 26, and lois perry and former editor of labourlist Peter Edwards. Wow. Labourlist Peter Edwards. Wow. A big panel debate here coming up right. Im actually going to right. Im actually going to start with lois, who is with me in the studio here. And she says shes got a good exclusive on this story. So lois, what is your story . Well , if your story . Well, if you want any answer whatsoever to is there an official war on the motorists from our own government, you need look no further than the house of lords, environment and Climate Change report, which house of lords, environment and climaouthange report, which house of lords, environment and climaout quite report, which house of lords, environment and climaout quite recently nthh house of lords, environment and climaout quite recently. 1ich came out quite recently. Its entitled in our hands Behaviour Change for climate and environmental goals. Page 52. Environmental goals. Page 52. Clause 170 please bear with me changing rules on the use of roads such as reduced speed limits, school streets, low traffic neighbourhoods and other measures which prioritise access for other road users and road pricing, congestion charging low emission zones, higher parking costs and workplace parking levies and other charges levied for private vehicle use. So basically what theyre saying is that every single one of these measures is to get you out of your car. Its absolutely nothing to do with the environment movement. Its nothing to do with road safety. In fact, road deaths have gone up, according to the rac and the government figures recently. This is about getting you out of your car and its in the house of lords report. This is a war on the motorists 100 right . So lets come to you, howard cox. You are the founder of fair fuel mean , what do you fuel uk. I mean, what do you make of what lois has just said 7 make of what lois has just said . Sounds pretty scary , but lois . Sounds pretty scary, but lois has got it spot on as normal. I know lois very well. I know lois very well. I know lois very well. I work quite closely with lois on a number of issues. And, yes, the driver who generates Something Like the fifth or the sixth the sixth largest income to the treasury year as treasury every year is seen as a cash cow and is always blamed for everything to do with the ills of the planet. Im afraid. Yes, it is a war on motorists. Theres not much i can add to that. I could go on forever about it. As you probably know. As you probably know. Lets lets come to Peter Edwards, former editor of the labourlist. Peter rishi sunak labourlist. Peter rishi sunak said is on the side of the motorists. I mean, do you believe him . Believe him . Well, rishi sunak is doing a political pivot born out of panic after some mixed by election results. But, you by election results. But, you know, lets go back to the substance. First all, substance. First of all, i wouldnt it a war. I dont wouldnt call it a war. I dont mean to be holier than thou, but there in there is actually a war in europe so europe at the moment. So i wouldnt call it a war, but were all upset over air quality. And remember , within and remember, air within the last had air last decade weve had air quality named on the death certificate of a child. One child. Yeah, one child. Yeah, one child. Report actually makes it this report actually makes it very clear. Sorry to interrupt. Sorry to interrupt. Sorry. Let peter finish. Sorry. Let peter finish. Id rather you didnt interrupt so air quality named on the death of a child for the first time. Lois quoted a report, which is an official report, which is an official report. But report, which is an official report. But thats report, which is an official report. But thats from report, which is an official report. But thats from a house of lords committee. So theyre backbenchers. Its important to point out to viewers, thats not a report by the government. The government and in fact, the opposition are concerned. And even a third party, lib dems, all the main parties are concerned about air quality. And concerned about air quality. And let me make another point, which is all Public Policy making is a trade off because there are tonnes of things we do tonnes of things we would do if we maximum we were pursuing maximum economic value. We were pursuing maximum ecoandic value. We were pursuing maximum ecoand hisalue. We were pursuing maximum ecoand his trade versus the and his trade off versus the health and impact. Health and social impact. Course the motor so of course the motor industry is really important for britain. Britain. Theres about 800,000 people working the motor industry working in the motor industry andifs working in the motor industry and its great to have a Manufacturing Industry in britain. But bear in mind the cost to the nhs of pollution and eating , dealing with people with respiratory problems as well. Thats also a big cost and that can tragedy. Can end in tragedy. Sorry, your sound is peter sorry, your sound is quite bad at the moment, so were going to have to come away from we can from you and hopefully we can correct. Come to our correct that. Lets come to our Peter Spencer this is now a huge political football, isnt it . Motoring. And ulez and the 20 motoring. And ulez and the 20 mile an hour zone coming into wales. It does. It does feel wales. It does. It does feel like a war on the motorists. Like a war on the motorists. Well, i mean i have to plead guilty on all fronts here. I find 20 mile an hour speed limits , speed limits, a complete limits, speed limits, a complete pain in the no questions. And i drive a 14 year old, 2. 5l super charged diesel mercedes. So im as as bad as you get. It might be very pretty. My car of course its pink. It looks a bit like the barbie car, but it has got a stonking great engine. However over behind all that there is the overarching reality, which is that weve seen Freak Weather conditions after Freak Weather conditions after Freak Weather conditions causing death and destruction halfway around the globe. And indeed only today , globe. And indeed only today, one of one of the top climate scientists has warned that its coming at us faster than we think. And so i can see why think. And so i can see why there is a there is there is an attempt being made here to discourage car use, especially polluting car use. Simply to sort of, you know, balance things out a little bit to change the zeitgeist, if you like. I mean, you look at old black and white movies and everyone had a on, right . Okay. And then we had the cancer warnings and bit by bit, and then we had the cancer warnings and bit by bit , things warnings and bit by bit, things have changed. They go out in the interval of a theatre now and i find them on my top with a in my hand. So. But thats how things have changed. And i think thats what not only a british government, but across the western world, thats what theyre to do, is to make theyre trying to do, is to make cars less. Cars less. Lois, lois, lets come back to you. So basically, the motorist cash cow and is motorist is a cash cow and is going to be a cash cow for whichever government we get coming in next. Well absolutely right. And id just like to say to the to the last gentleman, other climate scientists are available. You know, you pay your money, you get the answer that you want. But yeah, they are a cash cow. And this is nothing. This report , he said, oh, this report, he said, oh, its just a house of lords report. Report. But report. but but actually its a very significant report. Its saying and basically its saying this is nothing to do with air quality and everything to do with the net zero ideology that has its basis in neo marxism and nothing to do with saving the environment, because if it was, it wouldnt be doing a lot of the measures that its doing. Theres nothing about theres nothing green about electric theres nothing green about eleytheyre the green theyre the least green things can ever have. Things that you can ever have. This is about getting us of this is about getting us out of our cars. P p that. Lets come back to you , lets come back to you, peter. I think weve fixed your sound glitch. So Peter Edwards , sound glitch. So Peter Edwards, what would you like to say to lois . Its a neo marxist plot, basically. Basically. Well, i dont think its ideological. Ideological. And actually its one of the things that are born completely out pragmatic politics. Go out of pragmatic politics. Go back to that point i was making before you know, people, before you know, if more people, especially cities , have especially in cities, have respiratory , thats respiratory problems, thats potentially a tragedy for them if they succumb lung cancer. If they succumb to lung cancer. But also its a cost for but also its a huge cost for the nhs. I wouldnt put driving the nhs. I wouldnt put driving the nhs. I wouldnt put driving the same bracket as smoking. I think that would too i think that would be far too simplistic. I think that would be far too simsostic. I think that would be far too simso do. I think that would be far too simso do you have figures to so do you have figures to back youve just said . Back up what youve just said . Do figures to back up do you have figures to back up that have died from that people have died from respiratory and lung respiratory problems and lung cancer either due to people driving around in london . Because know that there isnt because i know that there isnt that those those figures and that those those figures and that information does not exist. So can you it to the. So can you supply it to the viewers . Please dont dont. Viewers . Please dont dont. Lois, i did in my previous answer when you cut me off as well. Air quality has been named well. Air quality has been named on the death certificate of one person in 15 years. Lois is rude to interrupt. Um for the first time after an interesting run the second time, im sure wed all accept thats a tragedy. We also accept thats just a fact. Its not a fiscal opinion. Its a fact about our air quality. Tragically bringing short the life of a child that particular child was born with with a very rare kind of asthma. But i can see your point on that particular one individual, right . I think were going to have to leave it there. Unfortunately i think well to an end i think well come to an end again, absolute stonking again, an absolute stonking debate there. Again very passionate and interesting. Do passionate and interesting. Do you actually believe that rishi sunak neck is on the side of the motorist or do you feel as a motorist, youre being penalised and how are you going to get around doing your business if youre a white van man, for example , if youre allowed example, if youre not allowed to and not to drive your car and youre not allowed over 20 allowed to drive it over 20 miles in wales, right. Miles an hour in wales, right. Okay, on. You are with okay, we move on. You are with dawn neesom on gb news on tv and Digital Radio. Coming up, well continue our Great British debate.

Im with you. I dont drive. Oh, brilliant. Fantastic i dont drive. No, not for any ethical reasons. Its just i live in london and its pointless, but. Oh , why do everything in my car . Motorist i feel totally punished as a motorist. And i live in a rural little village. I cant get anywhere without my car. So forget about without my car. So forget about getting this electric car because we dont have anywhere to charge it. There is nowhere where i live and i cant get to a shop. I cant get anywhere a shop. I cant get anywhere without out my car. And i feel i am being penalised because i cant work, get anywhere without it. And so , you know youre all it. And so, you know youre all right. Matthew you live in london. You go on the tube. But ihave london. You go on the tube. But i have to drive. And this ulez i have to drive. And this ulez is nothing but a scam. It is a is nothing but a scam. It is a con and its not. You know, it makes me sick because this is the mayor of london who hasnt budgeted very well. This is a budgeted very well. This is a cash grab. And you know, if you catch a cold in london, you get a sneeze everywhere else. And we a sneeze everywhere else. And we knew it was going to go elsewhere and driving, let me tell at 20 miles hour, tell you, at 20 miles an hour, i got stopped. Sadly, same place where the archbishop of wokery, i call him, got stopped 20, you know, just going over 20 miles an hour. How difficult it is to go. And its really difficult. It really is. And i really am sick, matthew, of this war on non violent. We were lucky enough. We are we were lucky enough. We are were very in a city where we have really decent public transport network. But for many People Living out in the country, i just dont have that. You know, you get stressed here if theres not a tube within four minutes out in the when that twitter when people post that on twitter and outside london are and people outside london are going, you lucky you know what . And people outside london are going, ygot. Ucky you know what . And people outside london are going, ygot a ky you know what . And people outside london are going, ygot a busou know what . And people outside london are going, ygot a bus for know what . And people outside london are going, ygot a bus for fourv what . And people outside london are going, ygot a bus for four days. . Ive got a bus for four days. Exactly. Never mind four minutes. That minutes. Its so important that people, minutes. Its so important that peop|areas , can minutes. Its so important that peoplareas , can use their cars rural areas, can use their cars and penalised. And arent penalised. Look, absolutely. Look, absolutely. Think is the worst i think i think is the worst possible thing those who possible thing for those who believe in public transport and who in an environmental who believe in an environmental agenda seen as a agenda is if this is seen as a war car, because then war on the car, because then it becomes people, you who becomes people, as you say, who need their cars, who live in places there isnt places where there isnt an alternative jobs where alternative or do jobs where where, you know, a car is essential versus those who are trying be holier than thou. Trying to be holier than thou. And thats you know, and thats why, you know, cyclists get me i may be a non driver. Im also a non cyclist but but no, cyclist so cycle. Oh but but no, no, no. I love cyclists generally cyclists, yes. But as long as people dont feel that theyre sort special theyre some sort of special breed because they, you know, because breed because they, you know, bthink e breed because they, you know, bthink what we do need is i think what we do need is change coming. We are going change is coming. We are going to electric. But as to move to electric. But as lizzie need lizzie so rightly says, we need the infrastructure in place. But look, need those charging look, we need those charging points we shouldnt be points and we shouldnt be penalising until theres points and we shouldnt be prproperlg until theres points and we shouldnt be prproperlg that untiltheres points and we shouldnt be prproperlg that they. Theres points and we shouldnt be prproperlg that they can res points and we shouldnt be prproperlg that they can use a proper way that they can use alternatives, even if they environment and Climate Change report. I ask everyone to read it and it will show it is a scam and it is all about not making money. This is all what its about. And ulez doesnt reduce air pollution, it just taxes. It and if the mayor of london was that worried about air pollution, he should be looking at knife crime and other issues that and all the other issues that are london. But if are going on in london. But if he worried, why isnt he was that worried, why isnt he doing anything about the undergrounds . Doing undergrounds . Why isnt he doing anything airport anything about the airport pollutions and all of that . Why focus on the motorists and motorists only . The thing is, the big issue signes at the moment do seem to be and be around Heathrow Airport and im to get my the irony im trying to get my the irony there. The irony of being forced to like along at to sort of like pulled along at 20 miles an hour in an electric car cant charge car that you cant charge up while jets thundering car that you cant charge up whileyour jets thundering car that you cant charge up whileyour every thundering car that you cant charge up whileyour every fiveidering seconds. I mean, for me, its the worst thing in politics is when its side, solution fits its one side, one solution fits fits all. People think that youre just 20 mile hour. Youre just 20 mile an hour. Its sorted its sorted. Its sorted ulez its sorted. Its sorted ulez its sorted. Its complicated its so much more complicated than that. Clearly, there are some where 20 an some places where 20 mile an hour speed limits work around schools. But to slap schools. Et cetera. But to slap one residential road in one on every residential road in wales is daft idea. And the wales is a daft idea. And the Welsh Government, im sure, will run is hurting your run into this is hurting your your love ulez and the support of ulez, arent they . Of ulez, arent they . Well, and the fact, mr starmer, mr khan are having a big about. But matthew you who is hurting those the hurting most are those the poorest know the single well poorest you know the single well thats where andy burnham in manchester against manchester has come out against it. Version were it. And their version they were going manchester. It. And their version they were goiiyeah, manchester. It. And their version they were goiiyeah, itvianchester. It. And their version they were goiiyeah, it really, ster. It. And their version they were goiiyeah, it really, really yeah, but it really, really is so fair. And i dont. Is so not fair. And i dont. Youre ruining peoples lives. Youve got livelihoods to do it. Youve got have sensible youve got to have a sensible transition because otherwise you lose and you people lose people and you turn people off. Idea of electric off. The whole idea of electric car who afford electric car car who can afford electric car and they havent done the homework it because homework on it because the actual are so heavy actual batteries are so heavy that theyre to have that now theyre going to have to rebuild bridges, to issue about rebuild bridges, rebuild old car parts, because what happens batteries what happens to their batteries afterwards big is exactly afterwards is a big is exactly the disposal. The disposal. Do think, matthew, so do you think, matthew, that rushing headlong into that were rushing headlong into this too, too politically virtue signal rather than actually thinking it through, getting people on side . Yes. And this is both parties. Absolutely. And the lib dems , we mustnt forget the lib dems who virtue signal like the best of them. I mean, that of them. I mean, i think that that real danger that is a real danger is that its about virtue signalling its all about virtue signalling and plan and and not about a proper plan. And my you just my worry is, is that you just people know, like people say, you know, its like sort tractor production sort of tractor production targets year this is targets in the same year this is going is going going to happen. This is going to happen. Course, then going to happen. This is going to the pen. Course, then going to happen. This is going to the pen. They course, then going to happen. This is going to the pen. They suddenly then at the end, they suddenly cave in going happen. In and its not going to happen. Weve week linked weve seen that this week linked but with but slightly different with issues about oil boilers and people gas the people who dont have gas in the countryside. Again , you countryside. And again, you know, yes, eventually were going to move to different types of its just of heating, but its just ridiculous saying to people in whether cars whether its with their cars or with their boilers, if there isnt that works isnt an alternative that works , stop telling theyve got , stop telling them theyve got to , have to have it instead, have sensible ive got sensible plans. Ive got a friend, really good of friend, a really good friend of mine company. Mine runs a training company. There get teach there desperate to get to teach people install electric people how to install electric charging at home. The charging points at home. The problem he cant charging points at home. The proble|the he cant charging points at home. The proble|the lads he cant charging points at home. The proble|the lads because ant charging points at home. The proble|the lads because to t charging points at home. The proble|the lads because to do recruit the lads because to do that says to fund that the government says to fund the government will give the government will only give you the training you the money for the training scheme got scheme if the persons got a grade in english.

I mean, the Mayoral Election in election coming up in may, i think biggest, think its labours biggest, biggest moment is biggest danger at the moment is ulez and the idea that going to biggest danger at the moment is ulez a kickbackaa that going to biggest danger at the moment is ulez a kickback from it going to biggest danger at the moment is ulez a kickback from it,|oing to biggest danger at the moment is ulez a kickback from it, do g to biggest danger at the moment is ulez a kickback from it, do you have a kickback from it, do you what think . Have a kickback from it, do you what mean think . Have a kickback from it, do you what mean widening the debate i mean widening the debate somewhat. You somewhat. How important do you think the war on the motorist will be . The migration problem, the cost of living . I mean, what the cost of living . I mean, what do you think is going to be the most important thing that people are worried about coming into the is literally the election, which is literally what this is a really what i think this is a really big i think this is a year away i i i think m i think this is a big problem. In problem. And we saw this in uxbndge problem. And we saw this in uxbridge where they i think labour really thought they could win and they could that win it and they could see that people it. The mp people were against it. The mp for knocking on doors for labour was knocking on doors saying, know , everyone was saying, you know, everyone was saying, you know, everyone was saying this and saying were so against this and they didnt listen. Yeah keir starmer didnt listen and now he wish he had listened. So its interesting , matthew, isnt it . Interesting, matthew, isnt it . Feel so strongly people feel so strongly about this despite cost living this. Despite the cost of living crisis, migration crisis, the migration issue, they actually not vote for they will actually not vote for labour because of that. I think its a really clear issue that people can, you know , politics can be confusing. , politics can be confusing. People can feel that their vote doesnt, you know, theyre putting the lever and nothing changes. I think what happened in became in uxbridge is it became a referendum and people referendum on ulez and people could very clearly, if i could see very clearly, if i vote its going to at vote this way, its going to at the very least, send message the very least, send a message and it might just so and it might just stop it. So i think i mean, i think think thats why i mean, i think that combination factors, that the combination of factors, including living that the combination of factors, includ which living that the combination of factors, includwhich a living that the combination of factors, includwhich a senseying is crisis, which in a sense this is part of its the worst part of because its the worst possible hitting possible time to be hitting people is will people with charges is what will be the is what will be the we havent a say in it. Be the is what will be the we havwe a say in it. Be the is what will be the we havwe haventay in it. Be the is what will be the we havwe havent gotn it. Be the is what will be the we havwe havent got ait. In. We havent got a say in. We havent got a say in. Well, can against well, you can vote against listen, you should stand for mayor. Stand for mayor and i will stand for mayor and honestly, will. Honestly, i really will. Im going going honestly, i really will. Im goinall going honestly, i really will. Im goinall im going honestly, i really will. Im goinall im not going honestly, i really will. Im goinall im not saying oing honestly, i really will. Im goinall im not saying that and all the im not saying that i that this has become the modern. Modern day. We need a saturday night out. We need a saturday night out. We do. We do. Were planning on night out. The tax. The modern day poll tax. Has is it really has and this is diminishing and our diminishing livelihoods and our freedoms and that is labour really worried about the Mayoral Election. Its also going to be under a new electoral system. Previously, its been under the alternative vote. So you could vote dem, could vote for vote lib dem, you could vote for captain whatever hes captain binface or whatever hes called and to called first and transfer to laboun called first and transfer to labour. But now labour is going to to on first to have to win it on first preferences first time around and much and thats going to be much tougher. Honestly anyone can you honestly say anyone that that likes khan . That you know that likes khan . Says of london says the mayor of london is doing the of doing a good job. The truth of the the danger is no the matter is the danger is no taxi i talk to taxi driver, no when i talk to on the streets like this man, he hasnt you he hasnt i mean, you know, he hasnt i mean, you know, he hasnt he hasnt the hasnt he hasnt captured the citys heart. To say citys heart. An to say citys heart. An in to say youve citys heart. An in an say youve citys heart. An in an election youve citys heart. An in an election like uve citys heart. An in an election like that got an in an election like that , he has done two terms already. Got an in an election like that , think. ; done two terms already. Got an in an election like that , think. ; donylabour, rms already. Got an in an election like that , think. ; donylabour, who already. Got an in an election like that , think. ; donylabour, who thought i think. Now labour, who thought london london london was sewn up, london was labour and they were worried about it about the towns, you know, it was about towns and now was all about the towns and now in elections we saw in the by elections we saw laboun in the by elections we saw labour, better in selby in labour, did better in selby in a, a non metropolitan town a, in a non metropolitan town and much worse than uxbridge. And i think thats the and now i think thats the number one worry for labour is that that may in that is that mr khan may be in trouble not especially that is that mr khan may be in tr realistic. Realistic. Think the carers, think of think of the carers, think of those disabled, those those that are disabled, those that on car that really do rely on their car. Its khan is in. And its odd that khan is in favour freedom of favour of the freedom of movement but hes movement inside the eu, but hes not within his own city. It does make you wonder how in touch with reality of in touch with reality a lot of our are right. This our politicians are right. This show is nothing without you and your though, so lets your views though, so lets welcome one of Great British welcome one of our Great British voices. This is your opportunity to and tell us to be on the show and tell us what really think about what you really think about the topics were discussing this houn topics were discussing this hour. To cornwall hour. Were heading to cornwall to with regular voice to speak with regular voice jonathan jones. Jonathan good jonathan jones. Jonathan good afternoon. Thank you very much for joining us. What do you what do you make of this quick one . Ive just come back from the west country on holiday. I was allowed around country allowed to drive around country lanes miles an hour, lanes 40 miles an hour, no problem to problem at all. Get back to london, carriageway , 4 am. London, dual carriageway, 4 am. In morning, 20 miles in the morning, 20 miles an houn in the morning, 20 miles an hour. Make sense , right . Hour. Make it make sense, right . Oh is britain anti car definitely heading that way and i think it could be a huge mistake. Mistake. Theres 20 mile an hour limits threatened cornwall as limits threatened in cornwall as well and ive worked with a lot of environmentalists. And if you of environmentalists. And if you look science , it just look at the science, it just doesnt add up. The emissions go up. Actually, when traffic is crawling along at low speeds. Its a myth to make out that by slowing everything down, you save somehow carbon emissions. You dont. In fact, it could be worse. And of course, productivity goes down, but , you productivity goes down, but, you know, we love electric cars. Weve just filled this cup with t picked by the worlds First Electric powered. But in fact, electric powered. But in fact, solar powered t robot. So you know, we love the environment. We love we cant that thing will cut five miles in one charge. So theres lots of businesses and individuals that are fully signed up to cutting emissions. And, you know, we grow tea in england. Weve weve done our bit. But actually, are we in bit. But actually, are we in anti car . I think this country is heading that way. And the environmental costs of that and the economic costs , as lizzie the economic costs, as lizzie says, be huge. And this says, could be huge. And this beautiful old car behind me , if beautiful old car behind me, if you take the whole life cost of that to the environment, far that to the environment, is far less than scrapping everything and bringing in extremely expensive lithium powered or any other Battery Powered car. So it does need looking again. The science doesnt actually add up very well at the moment. So i think be more think people need to be more balanced. George eustice spoke very this week very well on this this week regarding rural ulez. I think we need to just take stock and think this thing through more carefully. Think this thing through more car jonathan, just out of interest, quickly, which jonathan, just out of intererpoliticaljuickly, which jonathan, just out of intererPolitical Party , which jonathan, just out of intererPolitical Party are|ich jonathan, just out of intererPolitical Party are many which Political Party are many of them do you trust more to be a motorist . Friendly its a good question. Question. I mean, i know its almost a joke to say it now , but i think joke to say it now, but i think liz truss , uh, her policy on liz truss, uh, her policy on increasing speed limits for motorists was a very good idea. I think the germans have a very Good Environmental awareness and somehow seem to be able to move around more quickly than so around more quickly than us. So you know, id say most people , you know, id say most people, most motorists probably lean towards the conservatives, but right now its all to play for. I think i know a lot of motorists who would vote for whoever came up with the most sensible strategy or policy, and thats what theyre all frightened of, isnt it . Thats jonathan jones, our voice from cornwall. Thank you voice from cornwall. Thank you very for joining voice from cornwall. Thank you very forjoining us this very much for joining us this afternoon, jonathan. And afternoon, jonathan. Right. And now for some good news. Now for some very good news.
