Since december 2021. But are you feeling any impact at the checkout as the Prime Minister faces a tory revolt over his plans to criminalise homelessness, will be debating whether it should be a crime to sleep rough and in the sport this morning. Ipswich are top of the championship after a last second goal against southampton. Five goal against southampton. Five premier league games tonight and guess what. 7 more flag problems for british sport shirts this time its the olympics. Time its the olympics. Hello. Its a mixed start to the day. Will it improve as the day goes on. 7 showers in the forecast but also some sunshine. Find out all the weather details coming up. Soon. Coming up. Soon. So good morning to you. A busy news morning. This morning. The Prime Minister has backed the authorj. K. Rowling , as she the authorj. K. Rowling, as she takes a stand against scotlands new hate crime and public order act, which comes into force today. Yes. The harry potter author, who lives in scotland, posted on x previously twitter yesterday she invited the police to arrest her for her views on transgender people. Okay. However rishi sunak has backed her, saying overnight people should not be criminalised for stating simple facts on biology. You should facts on biology. You should only be criminalised if you sleep rough. Obviously, to according him it seems to be a bigger crime. So joining us now in the studio to talk about this Deputy Editor of spiked. Weve got fraser myers on this so old jk shes very defiant on this. She seems very confident as well. Yes. She has put out a sort of shes laid down a marker for the police because we dont know actually yet whether this will be a crime under the new law. The new law is entirely subjective. It talks about it. It makes it an offence to stir up hatred, which can land you with a potential seven years in prison if fall foul of that prison if you fall foul of that law. But we dont we dont yet have a clue how the police will interpret that. And whats very scary is that based on the guidance that the police have received, so far, that could include people at public performances, it could include comedians. It could very explicitly include writers, not. Its not just jk rowling, but nicola sturgeons best mate, val mcdermid. The author has said shes worried that some of the characters in her novels could fall foul of this law and could attract police attention. Attract police attention. Well, what what the truth seems to be is that, Scottish First minister, mr humza yousaf and whatever he seems a very angry man. Hes always angry about something, but basically , about something, but basically, the police will want to implement this law because theyve got enough to do. But it will be a selective law if you want to target someone, if you want to target someone, if you want to target someone, if you want to put them away for something, you have a reason not to do it. Thats precisely the problem with that with such a subjective law that it expect it will it will be. You expect it will be people who are seen as, you know, not politically favourable to the regime, i guess, you know, which is quite worrying. And youre about humza and youre right about humza yousaf. Its actually his law. He it when he was he introduced it when he was justice minister, and now hes overseeing first minister. Overseeing it as first minister. And of people and you know, lots of people have that he comes across have said that he comes across as someone of a bit as someone whos full of a bit of hate himself. Hes certainly angry. Ive never someone so and never seen someone 50 young and so never seen someone so young and so prominent who hes hes spitting every word out, you know, hes hes got hes got more than one chip on his shoulder. I would say. I think think thats true. I think i think thats true. I think there is also, you know, people started hes hes people have started hes hes warned people against making vexatious about this vexatious complaints about this law. Its very to know law. But its very hard to know what a vexatious complaint what is a vexatious complaint because entirely subjective because its entirely subjective and the police have said that, you know, they will record anything that people feel is hateful. Yes. So even they are aware acknowledging that this is entirely a matter of perception. Well ill tell you what. Were going to record anything that you feel is hateful, anything that your views on this, whether youre for this and you think, yeah, this is absolutely needed or whether youre against this and you think weve got no time for this, there are more important things. J. K. Rowling, shes saying thats her saying, arrest me. Thats her defiance. Dares police over defiance. She dares police over this new scottish hate crime law. But the police are only being told what to do by the politicians. So just let us know if you are scottish. Its, you if you are scottish. Its, you know, listening to our voices. It doesnt affect us. But but it does affect you. And let us know what you think. Vaiews gbnews. Com. I mean, this has been really criticised by the uk government, hasnt it. 7 a source saying that the Scottish National party was taking scotland down a very dangerous path , potentially dangerous path, potentially chilling effects on free speech. What do you make of that . Yes, i think this this absolutely will have chilling effects on free speech, precisely because people in scotland not what it scotland now do not know what it is illegal to say, you know, we do not know, at edinburgh do not know, at the edinburgh festival, instance, festival, for instance, that comes you be allowed to comes up, will you be allowed to make of islam . Will you be make fun of islam . Will you be allowed make jokes about allowed to make jokes about transgender issues is transgender issues that is yet to be tested . To be tested . And that is what will not test an Old Firm Game between celtic and rangers, and the sectarian abuse that comes from either end. Are they going to go into that crowd of 60, 70,000 people and make arrests on that day . I people and make arrests on that day . I would doubt it. Well, there was already attempts to criminalise this kind of sectarian chanting. There was the offensive behaviour at football act, which had to be repealed because it was seen as so authoritarian , an was seen as so authoritarian, an it basically that would have sent people to prison for five years for, you know, making sectarian chants , the snp just sectarian chants, the snp just has an appalling track record of coming up with these crazily authoritarian laws. Thankfully, authoritarian laws. Thankfully, authoritarian laws. Thankfully, a lot of them end up in the bin, and we can hope that the same thing happens with this, with this hate crime act. I think whats ironic is that, you know, the snp talks about independence for its, you for scotland. It says its, you know, of scotland, but know, proud of scotland, but actually public enemy know, proud of scotland, but actually one public enemy know, proud of scotland, but actually one for lic enemy know, proud of scotland, but actually one for the enemy know, proud of scotland, but actually one for the snpiy know, proud of scotland, but actually one for the snp is the number one for the snp is the scottish people because it thinks theyre all hateful thinks that theyre all hateful bigots, they need be, bigots, that they need to be, you just one you know, theyre just one moment committing a moment away from committing a hate to be told hate crime. They need to be told what they can and cant say what they cant eat and drink they can and cant eat and drink as well, and things like that. How can raise their how they can raise their children. So it seems to me its also a of classist also a kind of classist and elitist on public, as elitist attack on the public, as well being authoritarian. Well as being authoritarian. Tatchell, the ian peter tatchell, the human rights hes rights campaigner. Hes criticised for criticised the legislation for various but the various things, but one of the things is third party reporting, because people arent because if people arent comfortable reporting it to the police, to other police, you can go to other sites. Theres 400 of them where you register a complaint, you can register a complaint, including a mushroom including a sex shop, a mushroom farm caravan park. Whats farm and a caravan park. Whats that all about . Yeah. Yeah. So this is this idea that, you know, if you are part of a marginalised group, you might not a Good Relationship not have a Good Relationship with the police. You know, with the police. But, you know, the is that you allow the trouble is that if you allow for anonymous reporting, anonymous snitching , then that anonymous snitching, then that surely just encourages vexatious complaints. And the complaints. Further and the police have an obligation under this law, unlike other crimes. Its interesting. You know, the Scottish Police are talking about maybe they wont come to every burglary, maybe they wont come to every mugging, under come to every mugging, but under the provisions of the the under the provisions of the hate , they have to hate crime act, they have to investigate every report. Investigate every single report. Funny how they can make its funny how they can make something obligatory if they want to. Yes, exactly. Well, it shows the priorities the snp. The priorities of the snp. Your car stolen . Well, we so your car stolen . Well, we may or may not, you know, turn up may or may not, you know, turn up and investigate but are you saying something and saying something naughty and potentially as well. Whats also shocking about this you could be this law is that you could be arrested for things you say in your home. So previous hate your own home. So previous hate speech in the uk had speech laws in the uk had a dwelling defence, you know, because obviously the idea that you up hatred in your you could stir up hatred in your own is ridiculous. But own home is ridiculous. But under act, could, under this new act, you could, you think about you know, think about conversations over the dinner table. Children, children , children children, children, children reporting their parents. Granny says something spicy over christmas. Shes in trouble. Yeah. What about jk rowling . Will she get in trouble over this . How do you see her outburst, going going down. I think its very brave of her, whether you agree with her or not, to actually put your head above the parapets and have an opinion on this. Yeah, i think its an incredibly brave move. I think it will i think if she is it will be. I think if she is arrested, i think that will expose the insanity and the derangement the law. I think, derangement of the law. I think, you know, then Public Opinion will turn against it completely , will turn against it completely, you know, the worrying thing is that scotland have that Police Scotland have actually held, events in the run up to this bill where they used someone, a fictionalised version of someone who was obviously jk rowling they were talking rowling and they were talking about, this person a hate about, is this person a hate criminal, someone who, you know, disagrees that biology sexist or, you know, who talks a lot about biological sex, who has a large following is called joanne, which happens to or joe, sorry, happens to joes sorry, which happens to be joes real name. You know, there real name. So you know, there are Police Officers who think are Police Officers who i think are Police Officers who i think are probably up to are probably gearing up to arrest which is quite, arrest her, which is quite, quite troubling. Know that quite troubling. They know that that be pr disaster, of that would be a pr disaster, of course, but many snp politicians have said that she has fallen foul of the letter of the law. Look, if youre watching us, listening to us in scotland this morning and we want to hear from you, get in touch, just, gb views or gb news. Com and just tell them ehrman sent you. Just say ehrman says, ive got to get on and well put you on the phone, or well put you on a zoom link or something. And over the next three hours, well well talk to lots of you who are out there at a time that suits you, that would be very goodif suits you, that would be very good if you do that, fraser, for the moment, thank you very much indeed. Going to were indeed. Were going to were going reaction this going to gauge reaction to this throughout the morning. Well have you back later on. Have you back again later on. Thank sir. Thank you sir. Thank now, as the cost thank you. Now, as the cost of living crisis finally easing, well, shop prices well, inflation in shop prices has dropped to its lowest level since as shoppers since december 2021 as shoppers cut on spending. Cut down on spending. Well, joining us now, chief economist and advisor at cb are becky price. Becky good morning to you. Good morning. I mean to you. Good morning. I mean this is all painted very good. All the all the troubles over were all going to be fine and whatever it is, but were still paying whatever it is, but were still paying more than we ever did before. And what do you make of it all . Well, its absolutely true that things are still much more expensive than they used to be, because were talking about inflation coming rather inflation coming down rather than pnces inflation coming down rather than prices falling. Than necessarily prices falling. In some cases they have we have seen the odd month when even, clothing prices go down. Sorry, isuppose clothing prices go down. Sorry, i suppose you can hear me still. I suppose you can hear me still. Yeah, you can, so, what were seeing right now is that the food Price Inflation slowed down, which has taken place, which is quite significant, is very good news, of course, for the consumer. But were talking about prices having, you know , about prices having, you know, increased by 1. 3 year on year increased by 1. 3 year on year in the last month, whereas a year ago they were rising by about 15. So thats a big, big change. The question is what happens next . I mean, some of the food prices that we have seen have come down, as i said, with theres been the odd, month when that has been the case and even this time weve seen chocolate down, chocolate prices coming down, despite that cocoa despite the fact that cocoa pnces despite the fact that cocoa prices have gone up very significantly the past few significantly over the past few months retailers are months because retailers are very, keen. And very, very keen. And supermarkets ensure that supermarkets to ensure that everyone buys or bought those , everyone buys or bought those, easter chocolates, of course, which are so important for this time of the year, but what surprises me is that, you know, good news in many ways, but if you look at International Food prices, they have been coming for down almost two years now since about april 2022. Before that, we saw a huge increase in prices, partly because of post covid. Supply issues. And then of course because of the energy price increases that weve seen which affected everything. But but food prices have been coming down, down, actually, not just, in terms of inflation, but the actual price of most foods has been coming down internationally. But we havent really seen that until just now being reflected in what were paying being reflected in what were paying at the shops. And that, of course, is because costs are still reasonably high for supermarkets. They had to pay a lot in terms of wages, lot more in terms of wages, still some transport costs and so on. But overall, i think we could have expected by now to see prices falling rather than just inflation falling. And that is something which i think we need to be looking at for the future as well. Need to be looking at for the futland s well. Need to be looking at for the futland vicky, what that delay and vicky, what is that delay about . Is that that old, about . Because is that that old, that age thing, isnt it, of that age old thing, isnt it, of pnces that age old thing, isnt it, of prices shooting up like a rocket and coming down like a feather , and coming down like a feather, and coming down like a feather, and that it could be in part down to transport and wages, as you but how much is food you say. But how much is food inflation baked in at this point . There was a concern that there has been a concern , there has been a concern, probably still is a concern about supermarkets have about whether supermarkets have been from this. And been profiteering from this. And weve also seen sort of shrink inflation the sense that inflation in the sense that weve the sizes of weve had the sizes of particular being reduced particular items being reduced in, in in an effort to ensure that prices dont perhaps rise as much when people are still able to buy the goods, although there is less of it in the packets or the boxes that theyre paying, or in the wrapping that theyre, getting from supermarkets. So. So there from supermarkets. So. So there was a bit of an issue about whether the fact that there is high inflation is also encouraged shops to just raise their prices arbitrarily, but if you look at the Profit Margins of supermarkets, theyre not that great. So perhaps that argument isnt that, that that big, but i think wages do matter, you touched on that yourself. We are about to see minimum wage go up quite significantly. Supermarkets and lots of other shops are going to have to bear that and transport is still expensive, weve seen, for example , in the last month for example, in the last month at the pumps that, petrol prices have gone up. So that adds quite considerably to just transporting things from one place to another, so logistics matters, weve now, of course, have shipments being affected because of whats going on in the red sea. So there are concerns also whats going to happen to Energy Prices in the future which is going to be future too, which is going to be an issue. So a number of, of, of things that are affecting it. But what were also seeing though lot competition though is a lot more competition taking at taking place. If you look at other not other items, not just necessarily food you look at necessarily food and you look at retail overall, youve seen, you know, number come know, a number of items come down because everyone realises that arent going to go that shoppers arent going to go in, given that they have so many other expenses to bear right now, including loads of Service Costs up april is the costs going up april is the month when everything is increasing quite substantially for people. Whether it is your Council Water bills , you council tax, water bills, you know, whether it is your road tax that you have to pay, whether it is stamps that are going up quite significantly. So going up quite significantly. So all goes up. So all that goes up. So supermarkets and other retailers are aware that is are quite aware that there is a danger that consumers are just not going to go into the shops. So be prepared to buy the things that they were buying before and will not be able to afford the higher that they higher prices that perhaps they would happen to meet would like to see happen to meet some those , particularly wage some of those, particularly wage costs theyre have costs that theyre going to have to with. So yeah, its a to deal with. So yeah, its a tncky to deal with. So yeah, its a tricky time for them. And weve seen, fact, retail sales seen, in fact, retail sales stagnant over the last month. So, obviously everyone hoping so, obviously everyone is hoping that temporary and that that is only temporary and things improve. Things might improve. Price, thank you very vicky price, thank you very much vicky is a top much indeed. Vicky is a top economist there. Thank you for your views and your views on the scottish hate bill, which comes into force today, roger says hate is a human emotion. Love and hate are part of our being. If the Scottish Government wants to remove this attribute from us all, then its more likely to be achieved medical than achieved by medical means than legislation. Tony, are we living legislation. Tony, are we living in a dictator dictatorship . Stupid idea. Oppression on the masses, bonkers. Scotland. Masses, bonkers. Scotland. But then on the other side of things, what john saying well done scotland introducing laws to protect the minorities in the country. The sooner it comes to the rest of the uk, the better. Minorities will then be fully accepted and integrated. Accepted and integrated. And of course, as regards sectarianism, there is an Old Firm Game this week, celtic against rangers. Its the top of against rangers. Its the top of the table clash, archie says its madness. We have this Old Firm Game this weekend. Itll be interesting to see what happens there the sooner, the snp are voted out, the better. Okay, keep the views coming in. And the main thing is they want to reflect what people who are scottish or who are living in scotland think about all of this. So gb views gb news. Com tell us how we can get in touch with you. Do a video link up with you. Do a video link up with you. Do a video link up with you at some stage throughout the programme this morning and hear what you have to say.

The governments free child care plan for parents of two year olds has begun, but its already facing pushback. Labour called the policy a pledge without a plan, as nurseries face a funding and staff crisis. The Prime Minister has defended the addition of 15 hours of free weekly childcare, saying it would build a Brighter Future for british families. The education secretary Gillian Keegan, just after 7 00 this morning as shes speaking live to us. Donald trump has been barred from criticising the daughter of the judge overseeing his criminal trial after labelling her a trump hater on his social media media platform, truth social. Overnight, mr trump has also managed to pay up to £140 million as part of his civil fraud case in new york. The payment means trumps personal assets, such as trump tower, will remain his for now. For. Now, it may seem a bit old school, but with 7 billion letters sent every year in the uk, it could be getting a bit more expensive to send a letter or a small parcel. Yeah, thats true. Guess how yeah, thats true. Guess how much it costs me to send a dress the other day . Just at one light dress . Yeah, just. Well, im not in the habit of sending dresses. So. A very light dress. A very light dress. No, to an address, maybe, ill, i dont know, fiver. £8, £8. The dress was barely worth that. Youre outraged by. Youre outraged by. I am outraged by it. So i can relate to this. But from today , relate to this. But from today, stamp prices are going to increase even more by £0. 10. Pficed increase even more by £0. 10. Priced of first class stamps will now be £1. 35 and second class stamps will be £0. 85 well gb News Reporter sophie reaper asks how these price hikes will affect you. Its getting out of hand though, because i do send an awful lot of cards and letters andifs awful lot of cards and letters and its getting and im a pensioner, so im really feeling the pinch of all the stamps that im buying. And now its going up again. Im im buying. And now its going up again. Im going to have to cut back on the christmas cards and stuff like that. I stop using because im doing on whatsapp, sending the messages. But its not fair to be expensive for the people who use the stamps. Be expensive for the people who usei he stamps. Be expensive for the people who usei thinkamps. Be expensive for the people who usei think the s. Be expensive for the people who usei think the too expensive i think the too expensive when used to be really when they used to be really quite cheap, didnt they . But no, i dont think its fair at all. Obviously its not just stamps that are going up, council tax, road tax, water, broadband, all these price increases. Do you think its fair its all this , you fair that its all this, you know, all these price hikes. Not at all. Its no not at all. Its absolutely ridiculous. You know, youre working longer, and you literally afford to live literally cant afford to live each month. Its pathetic. I see its not fair. Be honest, especially if you live alone and pay your rent and that its quite difficult. And if you its quite difficult. And if you dont have a proper good job, you just have to. You just survive it. I think businesses have to survive. So i think its probably fair that they do it, but i think its down to people to shop around and get the best deal themselves because they deal for themselves because they can better. Can do better. The same time, its but at the same time, its more difficult for particularly younger families. Younger families. You see, everybody gets up in arms when you talk about the royal mail putting up prices and, you know, did you send yours . Was yours by royal mail . Yeah. Redress. Well ill just say you had to sent it by a private courier company, dhl or fedex as well here, well a dhl parcel , this is what sends costs parcel, this is what sends costs to send a small parcel of 0. 5kg from london to belfast. If you from london to belfast. If you send it with dhl, £16. Oh, if you send it with fedex £53. No, £53, £33 and if you send it by royal mail, £8, three, £8, 35 oh well there you go. Well there you go. You see, i felt bad moaning about the £8. Well, you see, its like everybody moaning about their bbc licence fee. It costs you £238 a year for your cheapest subscription to sky. But people will complain about £160 to the bbc, you know, so i just, i just be careful what you complain about because youll miss it when its gone. It has to be said. Well actually when you put it like that, royal mail is quite good value for money. £53 fedex should be cheaper to get on a flight yourself. Deliver it yourself. Well, now on that subject. Well, now on that subject. Now ive got him going. Oh, now ive got him going. Oh, now ive got him going. Telling you, you well, im telling you, you wont this. Doing wont believe this. So im doing a single yeah, from a single journey. Yeah, from scotland, glasgow to london next week. Right. Uh. Huh single journey. It is on a sunday and journey. It is on a sunday and has to say how much . Has to say how much . £35. £35. £650 single. Its the only seat left on the plane. Amen. Amen. £650. £650. You could charter a private jet for that. Surely £650. But you see, people do this in the airport and they talk about their holiday to miami and their holiday to mexico and all this sort of thing. Its cheaper to get to those places than it is to get from to london belfast, london to glasgow. Absolutely incredible. And no one does a thing about it. Absolutely incredible. And no one does a thing about it. And one does a thing about it. And these are people, you see, its not just holiday youre talking about. Its a lot of these people are working. I mean theyre commuting there. Yeah. Got no choice. Theyre going to work during the week and theyre living in ireland scotland at weekends. Ireland or scotland at weekends. And youve got £650. All right. You win that one. All right. You win that one. Thats a shocker. Thats a shocker. But you get you get a nice free salad, cold pearls. Thats all right. Thats all right. Something i hope you get a bit more than that. Well you dont you dont even a cup of tea. Youre doing a great thing. And i do think honestly really good things with airlines. The carbon crew are superb, particularly on an airline like British Airways. Very, very well trained, well prepared, whatever. I dont know so much about other airlines, but certainly well done cabin crew and check in staff and whatever for British Airways who do a very, very good job. It has to be said, wow, thats thats something. 623 i think i should have been cabin crew. Have been cabin crew. Youd be very good because youve got the gift of the gab. And i think thats half of it, isnt it . Chatting to people . Yeah. Chatting to people . Yeah. Id love to walk down to people and say im going to complain this. Complain about this. Theres no etiquette and, and theres no etiquette or on board. I say, or anything on board. I say, come here. Could have a word come here. Could i have a word with you . Grab them the neck, with you . Grab them by the neck, scruff of the neck, throw them up there, them off. Up there, throw them off. Youd sort them out. Youd sort them out. Soon sort them out. Youd soon sort them out.

Forest playing newcastle, playing fulham, newcastle, everton, bournemouth, crystal palace, and west palace, burnley, wolves and west ham were playing spurs. Ham united were playing spurs. Clive for both clive allen, who played for both clubs, will be with us a little bit later. So well speak to clive. So your boys are playing west ham tonight. Ham tonight. Yeah. Its at the london stadium. Yeah. But you know about kalvin phillips, right . No, i want to talk about kalvin phillips. I really feel sorry. I know this lad and you. And when he played for leeds and met him and met family. Yeah. Really met his family. Yeah. Really dedicated. Thought was the dedicated. I thought he was the sort of player man united sort of player that man united should gone in for. He should have gone in for. But he went to man city instead and thats turned out a really thats turned out to be a really bad move. But then hes been sub loaned again west to loaned again to west ham, to west and played well. West ham and hes played well. Played seven games no hes played seven games but really hasnt gone well. But it really hasnt gone well. I mean theres always going to be career. Well be a point in your career. Well i always, but where theres i say always, but where theres going wobble. You know going to be a wobble. You know we talk about leicester and it happens teams, happens happens with teams, happens with players. But at the moment it seems that city move seems that that man city move was worst thing because he was the worst thing because he was the worst thing because he was nailed in the england was nailed on in the england side. Not going to be going side. Hes not going to be going to the now. Have a look at to the euros now. Have a look at this. I mean this is this all we are. Were not going to be able to see. So anyway basically when he coach he when he got off the coach against is when against newcastle, this is when they at the weekend. They played at the weekend. He was getting dogs abuse from west ham so anyway he west ham fans. So anyway he gives well the two gives a well theres the two finger salute and theres the one finger salute. And he gives one finger salute. And he gives one those towards the fans, one of those towards the fans, which doesnt very well. Which doesnt go down very well. This a guy thats really in this is a guy thats really in all sorts trouble. David all sorts of trouble. David moyes speaking yesterday at moyes is speaking yesterday at press conferences and david moyes its you moyes is saying, look, its you know you need to get behind him. Hes a player. We need to get behind. But hes a player. We need to get behind. But its just hes a player. We need to get behind. But its just not behind. But its just not working out for him. I think hes hes a great player, his family also committed to leeds. They didnt want go to man city, but want him to go to man city, but i mean was there. The big i mean he was there. The big clubs were calling. What do you when someone what do you do when someone calls like that . Yeah. You dont turn down. Turn them down. City have ruined his career. Well well see. Well at the moment going well but moment its not going well but where from west where he goes from here. West ham loan. It was expected ham on loan. It was expected that if he goes west ham that if he goes to west ham hell regular football. Hell play regular football. Hell get in the euros and its actually going for him at actually going worse for him at the hes talking about. The moment hes talking about. Hey talking euros the moment hes talking about. Were ey talking euros the moment hes talking about. Were talkingng euros the moment hes talking about. Were talkingng olympics and were talking about olympics and were talking about olympics and article and things. I saw an article today in paper and i could today in the paper and i could not believe so the is it the british flag or the english flag . What are we talking about . British. Were talking team gb right. Were talking team gb right. So team gb, the whole idea is that british that theyre making the british flag. Jack so flag. The union jack so unrecognisable. You know its a union jack. Yeah. Absolutely. Well thats yeah. Absolutely. Well thats the thats obviously the england Saint Georges cross on the on the england football shirt. But we do have the olympic kit as well. Now as far as the olympics is concerned. Hopefully weve got that we can show you. But as far as the olympics are concerned, its not the first. Its not the first time, is that they things. In 2012, it they change things. In 2012, it was blue union flag. So there was a blue union flag. So there we are. Theres the front page of the caption there. Lets get rid of that caption. Premier League Tonight. Get off the screen. Right. Okay, see thats what they do. But the thing is thats on the kit. Now, the problem i dont have a problem with the kit changing, but its the flags for example, the creators. This is from the sun. The the creators. This is from the sun. The creators on their sun. The creators wrote on their website. As with many sport brands, colour was point brands, colour was a point of contention. White brands, colour was a point of contblue n. White brands, colour was a point of contblue n. Synonymous white brands, colour was a point of contblue n. Synonymous withite and blue is synonymous with Great Britain, but its far from unique with nations such as france and the usa also sporting the colours. Oh well, were the same colours. Oh well, were just change the flag. Well just change flag. Needed to change the flag. We needed to find a way of Refreshing Team gbs colour palette way gbs colour palette in a way thatis gbs colour palette in a way that is both flexible and ownable , rather than so whos ownable, rather than so whos behind this . Is this nike again . Is this nike again . No, no its i dont even know who the actual group is actually i do its theyre called this way who are designers. But the thing is its not only the kit. The worst thing about it is that theyre going theyve got flags. So you can buy flags, which are not union jack flags. Theyre flags of those colours. So if flags of those colours. So if you want to change the kit, thats one thing. But dont change people waving flags when theyre supposed to be waving theyre supposed to be waving the flags of their country is unbelievable. Great britain, anything but, Great Britain, anything to do with Great Britain or england particularly . Im not saying this applies to wales, scotland or northern ireland. Yeah, but theres just an embarrassment about it. Why is there an embarrassment . And i think this will really annoy people again. Why dont you just people again. Why dont you just do. Whats there to do . Design do. Whats there to do . Design a union jack, make it as trendy as you want. But that aint a union jack. Wave the flag. Wave the flag. Surely if youre supporting your country at the olympics, wave the flag. But oh no, we dont want to wave flag. Dont want to wave that flag. Lets wave of like lets wave sort of like something just not quite something thats just not quite as its like, what is as effective. Its like, what is going on . Whats germany with whats germany doing with their shirts . Got their shirts . Youve got something about this honestly. Have a at honestly. Have a look at this. So germany, talked about germany, weve talked about shirts fact that pink shirts and the fact that a pink shirt. But theres a huge controversy. And i wonder if you can what controversy is. Can see what the controversy is. What 44 look like . It what does that 44 look like . It looks like old ss sign from looks like the old ss sign from from nazis. Yeah. And where from the nazis. Yeah. And where obviously adidas saying, obviously adidas is saying, well, notice that, but well, we didnt notice that, but everybody else has noticed it. So theyre oh, were so theyre now saying, oh, were not to sell the were not not going to sell the were not going to sell the 44. I mean, if it wasnt so awful, youd just laugh at it. Its unbelievable. You couldnt. You really couldnt. Okay. Much indeed thank you very much indeed for sports news, my for all that sports news, my friend. Your views very welcome. Vaiews gbnews. Uk tom and pauls back at 7 20. Thank you very much. Stay thank you very much. Stay with us. Still to come. Well be going through the stories making the news nichi and the news with Nichi Hodgson and alex. Next. Welcome back. It is 641. Lets take a look at some of the newspaper front pages, shall we . Now have no time for that. No. Nichi hodgson and Alex Armstrong are here. Good morning to both of you. And one of the stories that are that are front page, is the Prime Minister nike, backing authors rights to free speech after this, teacher threw down a challenge with a series of posts labelling trans women as men. Here we go again. Oh, goodness. So weve been talking about this. This is the scottish hit. Yes, this is the new hate crime, right, act, which is coming in in scotland, which is coming in in scotland, which is coming in in scotland, which is very controversial because its not really going to tackle issue of people tackle the issue of people definitely abusing each other. Tackle the issue of people defiilanguagesing each other. Tackle the issue of people defiilanguage isg each other. Tackle the issue of people defiilanguage is very h other. Tackle the issue of people defiilanguage is very woolly . Tackle the issue of people defiilanguage is very woolly and the language is very woolly and it doesnt cover anything to do with misogyny. So lots of people that were all pro, helping women out are offended by this bill, including rowling, is the including jk rowling, who is the person thats, whos got annoyed about the thing about about this. But the thing about jk rowling is, i get it. She is a gender critical feminist. She isnt a fan of a lot of trans activists, but shes kind of gone on twitter and named all these trans women as men. Thats what she and i just kind what she said. And i just kind of dont feel i dont really understand why she needs to get so angry about it and kind of do something of something that is kind of bullying. I a bullying. I mean, i take a point. You can of course, you can have a gender critical view of the trans debate is very, very im very complicated. Im a feminist. On the left. But feminist. Im on the left. But theres aspects of it that i dont agree with. But to do that, very that, it just seems very pure and little bit and and a little bit silly. And shes kind saying, go on, shes kind of saying, go on, arrest me. Yeah. And then, you know, testing the bill, know, shes testing the bill, shes the waters. Shes testing the waters. Trying to say, if shes trying to say, look, if you can arrest me over my opinion or based on a fact, a biological fact, which is that, you know, you can those you know, you can argue those those women are men you know, you can argue those thclogically, women are men you know, you can argue those thclogically, then women are men you know, you can argue those thclogically, then she|en are men you know, you can argue those thclogically, then she wantse men you know, you can argue those thclogically, then she wants toren by logically, then she wants to see if will will take her see if they will will take her down. And i think that would be a telling they a really telling thing if they did. And, frankly, i think did. And, quite frankly, i think this completely bonkers. This is completely bonkers. I dont know whats on up dont know whats going on up there. Mean, its so, so there. I mean, its so, so against scottish. I mean, i lived in scotland for four years. Against years. Its so against scottish culture. You know, scottish people chests , people speak from their chests, they say things as they are and now theyre being asked to sort of it down or, you know, of tone it down or, you know, thought police were talking like orwellian nonsense. Orwellian level nonsense. Been described as well, its been described as an nightmare. An orwellian nightmare. Its gonna be a yeah. I mean, its gonna be a big problem for scotlands art scene. To a big scene. Its going to be a big problem edinburgh problem for edinburgh festival, for edinburgh fringe, for comedians. Police comedians. You know, the police have been they have to go have been told they have to go after comedians kind of after comedians who are kind of putting out abusive jokes. Thats thats just thats just thats just ridiculous. That. Ridiculous. We cant do that. Whatever you think about protecting protecting peoples. But, you know, what this but, you know, what is this world get . Television has world we get . Television has never been more boring. Never been more boring. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. Honestly, so boring as a i can sit as a professional. I can sit here and watch. I dont know sit here and watch. I dont know how you would describe them, but just people without opinions, without anything. Everythings so afraid of causing offence. Its so anodyne. Theres no. Theres no real joke. Theres no real kind of danger. Remember tv in the 90s . The kind of stuff you used to have late night on channel 4 . I mean, youd never get that made. The i mean, youd never get that ma is. The i mean, youd never get that ma is. Thats the the i mean, youd never get that ma is. Thats the kind the i mean, youd never get that ma is. Thats the kind of the i mean, youd never get that ma is. Thats the kind of stuffe fun is. Thats the kind of stuff thats being put on in theatres and, you know, halls. But and, you know, comedy halls. But if start to go after that if you start to go after that stuff, the other thing is that youve to kind of how on youve got to kind of how on earth can you know somebodys intent . Just cant, intent . You just cant, especially a comedian maybe especially a comedian that maybe kind know, kind of sits between, you know, sits the, the line sits on the, on the, on the line of something and the whole point of something and the whole point of something and the whole point of some comedy to provoke is of some comedy is to provoke is to slightly offend. Its when you overreaction to you have that overreaction to something know, the something that, you know, the jokes the time. Something that, you know, the jokels the time. Something that, you know, the jokel mean, the time. Something that, you know, the jokel mean, and the time. Something that, you know, the jokel mean, and i the time. Something that, you know, the jokel mean, and i just; time. Something that, you know, the jokel mean, and i just think. Something that, you know, the jokel mean, and i just think but so, i mean, and ijust think but this is the thing, i do think jk rowling, shes in danger of overshadowing her career with her trans her obsession with the trans debate. Well, we debate. Its like, well, we dont about our books dont talk about our books anymore. Dont talk about anymore. We dont talk about writing. Is this she wants writing. Is this what she wants to down in history to go down in history for . I just find that really weird. Think she does actually, i think she does actually, doesnt think its almost doesnt she . I think its almost as she wants this to be as though she wants this to be her legacy. Now yeah, mean, i can yeah, yeah, i mean, i can i think shes trying to take a principled isnt she . Principled stand, isnt she . Shes say, look, im shes trying to say, look, im going one if no one going to be the one if no one else going to step up and do else is going to step up and do this, im going to be the one to do it. Im going to be the one to have this debate it to have this debate because it is. Lets is. And she is a feminist. Lets not forget rowlings famously not forget jk rowlings famously all and saying that, all about women and saying that, you know, its demeaning to women with the women when you start with the nhs, like nhs, put out messages like people with ovaries, people with people with ovaries, for that just people with people with ovaries, for women that just people with people with ovaries, for women because at just people with people with ovaries, for women because thats just people with people with ovaries, for women because thats who say women because thats who have ovaries and thats the sort of fighting. Of stuff shes fighting. I slightly disagree of stuff shes fighting. This, i slightly disagree of stuff shes fighting. This, but i slightly disagree of stuff shes fighting. This, but theightly disagree of stuff shes fighting. This, but theightly is sagree of stuff shes fighting. This, but theightly is that� e on this, but the point is that i agree that the erasure of women is issue. Is a massive issue. As a feminist, i agree with that. But there a space for trans there is a space for trans people to have dignity to people to have dignity and to have rights, course. And the have rights, of course. And the problem her is problem with with her tweets is that down that she it brings it down to this childish of this really childish kind of bullying calling. Bullying and name calling. And its silly. Were talking about name calling, youve gone to calling, if youve gone to houday calling, if youve gone to holiday tenerife holiday to holiday in tenerife recently and recently or plan to go soon, and theres story in the sun nick theres a story in the sun nick gibb, which says quality gibb, which says low quality brit cheap brit tourists who drink cheap beer lay the sun and eat beer lay in the sun and eat burgers and chips in tenerife are to home. Burgers and chips in tenerife are i to home. Burgers and chips in tenerife arei mean, home. Burgers and chips in tenerife are i mean, im ome. Burgers and chips in tenerife arei mean, im surprised burgers and chips in tenerife are i mean, im surprised its i mean, im surprised its taken so actually, taken them so long actually, because this been going on because this has been going on for 30 years . This for what, 20, 30 years . This downgrading the tourism downgrading of the tourism in the yeah, theres the canaries. But yeah, theres now this kind of now theres been this kind of Anti Terrorist appear Anti Terrorist graffiti appear apparently that apparently in and things that say your paradise, our misery. Theyve just absolutely had enough of , of theyve just absolutely had enough of, of the theyve just absolutely had enough of , of the degradation. Enough of, of the degradation. And also its to do with foreigners buying houses, which obviously locals obviously always gets locals backs up the prices go up backs up when the prices go up for, know, ordinary citizens for, you know, ordinary citizens , say, i just im , but like i say, ijust im just surprised taken just surprised its taken so long. Actually demanding long. Theyre actually demanding a well, which a tourist tax now as well, which i surprised they didnt have i was surprised they didnt have in i mean, canary islands, i mean, canary islands, islands , tenerife, the largest islands, tenerife, the largest of those islands. But what would they do without that tourism . Well, this is the problem, but its kind of its a its a love hate relationship, isnt it . They rely on them suddenly they dont want them to kind of take away from their lives as much doing much as they are doing well. Describing theyre describing uk holidaymakers on the island. I think its a bit unfair. I think its a bit unfair. I think its a bit unfair. I went to tenerife a couple of years ago and i thought i was very well behaved added to of years ago and i thought i was verylocal behaved added to of years ago and i thought i was verylocal economy. Added to of years ago and i thought i was verylocal economy. Looked,1 to the local economy. I looked, you know, i thought it was a great place to go and its a shame when you see that because you know, dont want to put know, you dont want to put brits going most brits off going because most brits off going because most brits brits want to brits go, but most brits want to talk benidorm. You talk about benidorm. But, you know, seen some scenes know, ive seen some scenes from benidorm, just benidorm, you know, im just saying. Most brits who go saying. But most brits who go are behaved and sensible. Are well behaved and sensible. The are going to well, the others are going to get of you. Yeah get the sack of you. Yeah theres a big in eco theres been a big rise in eco tourism. I theres tourism. I mean, theres a massive like massive interest in things like holistic holidays and adventure holidays islands. Holidays in the islands. So im sort surprised that is sort of surprised that this is coming now. Obviously coming out now. But obviously you theyve just been you know, theyve just been pushed far, the, the post pushed too far, the, the post office scandal, so the post office scandal, so the post office has decided that they should hand out a bonus and spread up a bonus as a thank you to subpostmasters for helping to build the brand after the horizon. It scandal. But one postmaster has condemned his bonus of £79 as what well , he bonus of £79 as what well, he just well basically said yes , he just well basically said yes, he said that. Well you know, youve spent millions covering your backsides in legal fees and now youre scraping the bottom the scraping the bottom of the barrel to give us a really random number of £79. Its a bit bizarre, but, you know, look , bizarre, but, you know, look, when you read through, i mean, i get it, there are some post offices perform better than others , and theres little bit others, and theres a little bit difference between what your post how much you post office is and how much you get. There a one get. And there has been a one third time cut, you third real time cut, in, you know, post Office Funding know, actual post Office Funding over the years, over the last ten years. So theres quite i mean, i can see why people are getting miffed sometimes i think with bonuses, like its going with bonuses, like if its going to that small, why bother to be that small, why bother doing all . To be that small, why bother doiiits all . To be that small, why bother doiiits more. L . To be that small, why bother doiiits more insulting, isnt its more insulting, isnt it . It insulting. Why dont it is insulting. Why dont you something different, it is insulting. Why dont you knowmething different, it is insulting. Why dont you know the hing different, it is insulting. Why dont you know the goodiifferent, it is insulting. Why dont you know the good news nt, the you know the good news on the side this, just to tell side of this, just to tell everyone a good the good everyone theres a good the good news are going to news is that they are going to give a 6 boost. So its 178 extra pounds to post extra pounds per month to post offices. So theres a bit of a positive story going on here as well for subpostmasters. So look i bit of give i think theres a bit of give and take. But yes it is a bit of and take. But yes it is a bit of a slap. Youre right. Been off theyd have been better off buying or a buying them an easter egg or a chocolate sort of chocolate or some sort of gift slap on the face of all slap on the face instead of all of salt in the wound. Of that salt in the wound. Isnt it . Isnt it . Certainly of them, nicky, this one caught my this this one caught my eye this morning, this is shakira talking about she about the barbie film. She wasnt a fan, was she . Because she doesnt if its sending she doesnt know if its sending a message to her sons. She a good message to her sons. She thinks it might be a masculine, emasculating. Emasculating. Yeah. She shes talked yeah. She says shes talked about and i dont if about it, and i dont know if shes watched with her sons, shes watched it with her sons, but watched it and shes but theyve watched it and shes talked them. Talked about it with them. And she quite she says they feel quite offended the way kind offended by it the way it kind offended by it the way it kind of portrays you know, of portrays men as, you know, secondary surplus to the required surplus to requirements, and, and, required surplus to r interesting that as a parent, shes worrying about the impact on , nick . On her boys, nick . Nicki, just pardon me for interrupting you, but wed like to go, a viewer. Gb news. Viewer, weve lined up here on zoom, and that is john obrien. Zoom, and that is john obrien. We say good morning to you, john. John, where are we speaking to you from . This is about the scottish hate crime bill. You this bill. Where are you this morning, friend . Bill. Where are you this morning, helensburgh, just im in helensburgh, just about 25 miles north of glasgow. Eamonn. Good man. And what are you good man. And what are you making of all this . You see, i said we can all sit and talk about about the hate crime and the effects of it. Whatever it is. None us affected is. But none of us are affected by you know, we none of by it or, you know, we none of us are scottish. But you are scottish, my friend. What have you say about this . You got to say about this . I think its absolutely dreadful. I think its absolutely dreadful. Eamonn, i can see this coming years the last coming for, for years the last few years. Im 76 now, and its utterly dreadful. There are several major factors. The first one is the fear. The fear factor is enormous. Youre frightened is enormous. Youre frightened of people, were scared to say things, its going to drive a further wedge, as if we needed a further wedge, as if we needed a further wedge, as if we needed a further wedge between the public at large and the police. The police have severe difficulties recently for many, many reasons which which were not going into. However, if you if youre frightened of the police, if youre sitting on a bus or a train or walking along the street and you see a police uniform, i tell my grandchildren, or i have told them in the past that these are them in the past that these are the guys that are there to help us. We dont want to be frightened of what the here is saying. And im not saying that we to make extreme comments we want to make extreme comments or or whatever , or use bad language or whatever, but, if you have that fear factor, its absolutely dreadful, let me ask you something. This is an snp something. This is an snp policy, and its driven very much by the snp, and you have a first minister there or a Prime Minister. And he he he disturbs me because hes always angry. Hes always hes got this voice where its quite threatening and everything is very, very serious. And, what does he get his knickers in a twist. So much about all of this . Well i said, hes in way above his head , to hes in way above his head, to be perfectly honest with you, eamonn, he said, we have always said the guys the guys in the wrong place. Was personally, i felt but i was personally, i felt personally offended when he came out that list of people out with that list of people that were, why a white judge and a white list and a white one. I dont, i dont understand it. I think thats driving a wedge between people. I dont think we had a race problem, in scotland before, but i think these things, create race problems, i really do. And another thing that i feel is that this law will be misused, there is no doubt about it, because people will band together. Lets all make a complaint about so and so, whoever it is, whether its jk rowling or Brendan Rodgers as celtic manager or the french guy thats the thats the ranger, whatever. But you know, they can do it. And they can do it for political reasons too. And thats very, very frightening. And the police are going to make a record which is going to indicate to them areas of the country or areas of our life which are going to be in their eyes, prone to problems. They will be looking at false statistics. Murdo at false statistics. Murdo fraser, the tory mp who didnt even know that hed been the subject of this complaints. The subject of this complaints. The complaint against him appears on a list and whilst they may say his name isnt there against that complaint, if sufficient people make a complaint about him , there will be this, day to him, there will be this, day to base that the police will have that that will indicate that hes some kind of problem and thatis hes some kind of problem and that is wrong. That to me, that is wrong. That to me, thats definitely wrong. The fear factor is wrong. And, you fear factor is wrong. And, you know, humza yousaf was was partly wedged in there by, by sturgeon. And she came out with a lot of that stuff. I mean, she came out with the i hate everything or i despise everything or i despise everything that all tories stand for. She was talking about a million and a half people in scotland at that time when she said that. So i think were putting division into the community, and i think thats very wrong.

Getting such big reaction this morning to this story about the Prime Minister backing jk rowling as she takes a stand against scotlands new hate crime and public order act. And your reaction very welcome gb views and gb news. Com leave your phone number now. Jk rowling is the harry potter author, of course, who lives in scotland and she posted on x or formerly twitter yesterday inviting the police to arrest her for views on arrest her for her views on transgender people all over. Rishi sunak has backed her, saying overnight people should not be criminalised for stating simple on biology. I mean simple facts on biology. I mean this is actually making me smile coming from him. I mean, a man coming from him. I mean, a man whos nice seems to be prepared to lock up the homeless, but, you hes saying you know, hes hes saying people right to do this. People have a right to do this. You havent be you havent a right to be homeless, but you have a right to you want about to say what you want about anything want. Because he anything you want. Because he believes free speech in this believes in free speech in this country. But imagine if we were, well, we were being broadcast well, if we were being broadcast in scotland, and they like in scotland, and they dont like what they could what were saying. They could enforce law against us, enforce that law against us, couldnt enforce that law against us, couthey could it if we they could enforce it if we were saying something in our own homes like. Homes they didnt like. Yeah. According to new law. Well, according to this new law. Well, joining is Deputy Editor joining us now is Deputy Editor of fraser myers, good to of spiked fraser myers, good to see morning. Good see you this morning. Good morning. You make of it morning. What do you make of it all. Turning into all. Its turning into an almighty isnt it. Almighty row isnt it. Its huge the yeah. Its huge about the government backing rowling. Government backing jk rowling. I mean, disingenuous mean, its slightly disingenuous for rishi to say the for rishi sunak to say the conservative believes in conservative party believes in free have many hate free speech. We have many hate speech of border speech laws south of the border as well , i speech laws south of the border as well, i think its around 3300 people are arrested every single year. Thats about nine people a day in england and wales for stating offensive things online. Now, that is not to say that the hate crime act isnt even more authoritarian because it creates this new offence called stirring up hatred , and the penalty for that hatred, and the penalty for that can be up to seven years in prison, which is, you know , prison, which is, you know, clearly far longer than youd get for many Violent Crimes. You could sexually assault someone and possibly not even jail and possibly not even see jail time in this country. Whereas for using words that some people find offensive could get you locked up years, locked up for seven years, thats absolutely extraordinary. Thats absolutely extraordinary. I think problem that this i think the problem that this underlines that hate underlines is that all hate speech laws are, you know, necessarily subjective. They necessarily subjective. They give far too much power to the police, to the authorities generally to decide what we can and cant say. And jk rowling is highlighting this by the fact that she is simply stating biological facts. She says that, you know, trans women are male. You know, trans women are male. Thatis you know, trans women are male. That is a fact. Lots of people find that offensive, but its nonetheless a fact. Many women who have tried to highlight the problem, the conflict between, calls for trans rights and single sex spaces have been called transphobic. Similarly, if you object to some of the things that have been happening to children at the tavistock clinic , again, youll be called clinic, again, youll be called transphobic. You know, these are legitimate Public Policy debates, but many people unfortunate , you know, many unfortunate, you know, many people who have the ear of the Scottish Government, consider those , just discussion of that those, just discussion of that to hatred. So thats the to be hatred. So thats the worrying thing that, you know, simply having a political debate could land you in prison. Were also going to see a rise, surely, in vaccine vexatious being made rise, surely, in vaccine ve the us being made rise, surely, in vaccine ve the police. Being made rise, surely, in vaccine ve the police. You being made rise, surely, in vaccine ve the police. You knowing made rise, surely, in vaccine ve the police. You know ,1g made rise, surely, in vaccine ve the police. You know , fornade to the police. You know, for people whove had long had it in, example, people are in, for example, people who are anti for example, anti jk rowling, for example, absolutely making absolutely will be making complaints police. Complaints to the police. A Police Officer or if i was a Police Officer or a sergeant at the and the a sergeant at the desk and the local station, youre a sergeant at the desk and the locto station, youre a sergeant at the desk and the locto your station, youre a sergeant at the desk and the locto your eyes ion, youre a sergeant at the desk and the locto your eyes and youre a sergeant at the desk and the locto your eyes and ears oure a sergeant at the desk and the locto your eyes and ears inrre up to your eyes and ears in burglaries and all sorts of civil disturbances, whatever, and youd be just going, oh, god, heres another one. Heres another one coming. Well, someone said this about me and i just i took offence at it and it was absolutely awful. Whatever it is really, is that the single most important thing a Police Officer has to deal with that day . I day . I seriously doubt that that is why, you know, someone decided to become a Police Officer to go after playground insults or whatever it might be, hurt feelings when there are, as you say , serious Violent Crimes you say, serious Violent Crimes happening that are not being deau happening that are not being dealt with. You know, thats surely what people go into the force to , to deal with, to force to, to deal with, to protect people from physical, actual harm rather than from hurt feelings. But the problem with this law is that the police are obliged to follow up on every report. And, you know, that means that unlike burglary, for instance, they have to investigate everything. Thats going to be impossible because people are already making vexatious complaints. People are boasting on twitter that theyve been dobbing in jk rowling and various other figures who are gender critical. Other people on the other side have been boasting about that boasting about the fact that theyve been joke theyve been making joke complaints to the police, hoping to overwhelm the system. Yeah so that it cant function. So, you know, well, hopefully it just collapses on its own contradictions. But it is a very scary prospect that people are good to hear from you. Please stay with us. We want to talk to the education secretary and then well to talk to the education secretback and then well to talk to the education secretback to and then well to talk to the education secretback to youi then well to talk to the education secretback to you and n well to talk to the education secretback to you and continue come back to you and continue this. And were talking to the education because education secretary, because working to get working parents are about to get to save thousands in Childcare Costs because of new government funding. And there is Gillian Keegan, the education secretary, to tell us more. Secretary of state, good morning to you. State, good morning to you. Good morning eamonn. Yes, sir. Thats right. As of yesterday , in fact, 1st of yesterday, in fact, 1st of april, 15 hours. More Free Childcare for two year olds. So this is the next start, the next step of our reforms to make sure that we are from when children are nine months old, up until when they start school. And that when they start school. And that will save most families around about £6,900 a year. I mean, thats massive. I mean, thats massive. Thats a massive amount of money to save. But could could i ask you a question . Could i play devils advocate with you . Why am i going to work and paying tax for people and genuinely just explain this to me for people to have babies, why is that important . Why is that . For the benefit of the country . To people who would say, well, i dont have any kids, why does you know, why am i paying for this . To families. But oh, see, our economy that we have children as well. So its important to all of us that we have a supported offer. But if you look at the cost of childcare, it has got very expensive for families and sometimes is actually putting people off starting a family. People off starting a family. And we dont want them to have to make a choice between their career so career and their family. So im afraid we are having technical issues there with Gillian Keegan. We will try and re establish that connection. Re establish that connection. Why did you establish there was a technical problem . Well, we did give it a chance, didnt we . We gave it a good sorry, gillian good chance. Sorry, Gillian Keegan, and keegan, we well try and reconnect her because reconnect with her because theres lots to talk her theres lots to talk to her about shes of my favourites. So i dont like her being disrupted. Oh, shes one your favourite. She you as well. Well she likes you as well. Well im a big smile there. Im just a big smile there. Have a conversation with have a good conversation with her. Anyway, fraser her. But, but anyway, fraser myers, wrong here from myers, whats wrong here from spike . Well try and spike magazine . Well try and get the secretary state back. Get the secretary of state back. But fear a conversation may but i fear a conversation may well gone, but , a lot of well have gone, but, a lot of people will say, why am i paying for this . Its a massive saving for this . Its a massive saving for parents. For working parents, i think. For working parents, i think. Yeah. You know, in principle, yeah. You know, in principle, this really good idea this is a really good idea because are paying because people are paying through for childcare. Through the nose for childcare. Sometimes can be as sometimes it can be as much as you know, going back to work. You know, people are you say, you know, people are wonder they are going back wonder why they are going back to at a lot of the to work at all a lot of the time, and, you know, its the offer as well in offer expands as well in september , i think under september to, i think under people above 18 so people above 18 months. So i think this is good in principle. I guess the practicalities are the concern really, because as theres a lot of concern that theres a lot of concern that there arent actually enough places for to apply to places for people to apply to now offer has come in. Now that this offer has come in. So, you know, i noticed that it came in on april fools. So, you know, i noticed that it came in on april fools. A lot came in on april fools. A lot of people who might be excited to sign up for scheme might to sign up for this scheme might find out that they cant actually a place all. Actually get a place at all. Now, labour describing it now, labour are describing it as without a plan, as a pledge without a plan, saying just going be saying theres just going to be really waiting that really long waiting lists that nurseries afford it nurseries simply cant afford it or have the staff. Or they dont have the staff. Yeah, exactly. Its a, its and its, its a, its a sector that been ignored. Sector that has been ignored. And clearly, you and you know well clearly, you know, is only coming know, this policy is only coming in the of end of the in at the sort of fag end of the conservative government. You think, try and think, why didnt they try and address this issue sooner, it address this issue sooner, is it because its Election Year because its an Election Year that suddenly that theyre that were suddenly that theyre suddenly in giving that were suddenly that theyre sud offer in giving that were suddenly that theyre sud offer to in giving that were suddenly that theyre sud offer to working n giving that were suddenly that theyre sud offer to working parents . This offer to working parents . Perhaps thats some thought thats going into it, but but really , yeah, its going to take really, yeah, its going to take a long time to fix childcare in this country.

Were going to get into a debate now about rough sleeping. Rough sleepers could be fined thousands of pounds or even jailed under new plans to criminalise hotel homelessness. Yes, the Prime Minister is facing widespread backlash over the proposal, including from his own backbenchers. Own backbenchers. So is criminalising homelessness a step too far . Is it a new low or a necessary step to protect us and our streets . Joining us now, the founder of do something for nothing , joshua do something for nothing, Joshua Coombes and youtuber and social commentator pearl davis. Pearl, youre worried about this, arent you . Yeah. You know, ive seen some of the effects of homelessness in the uk and what you have now is you have you have children playing on a playground and next to them, or Homeless People that are addicted to drugs. So i think that something has to be done to combat this problem. You know , combat this problem. You know, and i think theres different ways that they could go about it. But i could see why this would be a good first step. Well , id would be a good first step. Well, id tell you what might be a better first step to fund a camp or to fund fund housing, temporary housing or accommodation or something to actually help these people instead of penalising them. Pearl, what would you say . Yeah well, i think the problem youre going to get is the more youre going to get is the more you reward, know, the more you reward, you know, the more the more you incentivise people to be homeless, the more youre going that happen. You going to see that happen. You know, happen know, ive seen that happen in cities los where, cities like los angeles where, you know, we were getting to the point where people are moving to angeles to be moving to los angeles to be homeless. And you know, it completely ruins the cities. Joshua, lets bring you in at this point. Is it a choice to be homeless . Is it something you can criminalise . Can criminalise . No. I think, you know, obviously i understand the topic of this debate. Very happy to be here and speak about it. From my perspective. Think, know, perspective. I think, you know, perhaps better would be perhaps a better topic would be should be, you know, held should it be, you know, held accountable, the 1300 people who died living on the street in the uk in 2022 alone . Ive been to los angeles a lot myself. I do a lot of work in Different Countries and different cities. Countries and different cities. I think only a compassionate approach is going to help people. When youre talking about addiction. Pearl, i hear your course. We dont want to be stepping out on to needles and people using in this way. But obviously someone would obviously when someone would have prefer oblivion to reality in somebody in that much of a desperate place tells you theyre not in a in a good place in their life, what we need there is not more shame piled on criminalising somebody. Its just to further isolate just going to further isolate them. Its going to further isolate who already feel isolate people who already feel a great deal of shame. Obviously, some people can feel really downtrodden and very lonely isolated already lonely and very isolated already. If you criminalise this issue, its only going to further other these people, remove them further from what they need , further from what they need, which is more connection and more care in their life. That sounds like a good argument. Why would not argument. Why would you not agree with him . I guess you know, well, i guess you know, what incentive would they have to stop keep incentivising stop if we keep incentivising the behaviour, incentivising is a really interesting word. Like i personally, i dont see the incentive why anybody would or would want to choose to live, especially. Oh, theyll tell you on camera, theres clips on camera of people in los angeles going viral of literally moving their to be homeless because of the incentive structures there. Incentive structures there. I think theres always going to be people in different places. Im not saying for one second there might be a few people, but its certainly is not. The majority have doing this majority have been doing this work many , many years. I work for many, many years. I speak people are just speak to people who are just like i just like all like you, and i just like all four speaking this four of us speaking on this program you to program now. And, you know, to every person watching this, waking having breakfast waking up, having your breakfast in id love to think in the uk now, id love to think about all you who know about all of you who know somebody might have lost, somebody who might have lost, somebody who might have lost, somebody somebody who somebody knows somebody who might know might be somewhere, know somebody who not everybodys like id just like like you, joshua, id just like to tell people about the work that the work that you do. So that the work that you do. So thank you. And you get up close and personal, with these guys. Tell tell me how one of the ways in which you help the homeless. In which you help the homeless. Yeah. So, i mean, i go out and i give haircuts. Its a small thing. Its not going to completely fix somebodys problems life, but its problems in their life, but its a to go out and show up a vehicle to go out and show up for somebody. And i see amazing people doing similar things. I work grassroots work with grassroots organisations in different cities across world are cities across the world who are using their skills. That time i founded a movement called do something nothing. Its something for nothing. Its about being able to in the ways that as an individual, that you can as an individual, go and recognise that go out and recognise that theres human being front theres a human being in front of theres lot of of you. Yes, theres a lot of things that precede that from the im not saying the outside. Im not saying for one its scary drugs one minute its not scary drugs or some of the or alcohol. Some of the behaviours the things that behaviours and the things that you you really the you know, you really see on the outside, they be outside, of course, they can be difficult sometimes difficult to deal with sometimes , underneath theres , but underneath theres somebodys , but underneath theres somebo have those conversations, which i do on a regular basis, a lot of people who are hurting, a lot of people who are hurting, a lot of who havent had of people who havent had a chance heal of the chance to heal some of the wounds that they might have experienced. Know, any experienced. And, you know, any way i just want way you vote, i just want to say, anybody this, we say, anybody watching this, we all like to all know what its like to struggle need other people. Struggle and need other people. And isnt just fluffy, and this isnt just some fluffy, compassionate and this isnt just some fluffy, compereallylte and this isnt just some fluffy, compereally recognising the about really recognising the humans. We are much more than humans. We are much more than just our status, which political motives and the way we vote. I really believe that our community isnt just our Nuclear Family and our home. Its about reaching out to people who, yeah, you might be seeing outside of that train station on the way work, who might be in the way to work, who might be in a position. You might a difficult position. You might not able do everything for not be able to do everything for that im telling that person, but im telling you what, and what, when you build trust and you know that person you get to know that person by name , maybe you can smile name, maybe you can only smile and a few quid here and give them a few quid here and give them a few quid here and that might be and there, but that might be that of hope in that little bit of hope in somebodys the somebodys life. Thats the difference you difference between them, you know, to be here know, not wanting to be here anymore. Really is like that. Anymore. It really is like that. Its death for its life or death for some people. Criminalising further people. So criminalising further dehumanising people really dehumanising people that really can push people over the edge, its not a good way to go. It feels like were progressing, you know. So instead criminalising so instead of criminalising it, you how would you it, how would you how would you suggest we begin solve the suggest we begin to solve the issue homelessness . You talk issue of homelessness . You talk about compassionate approach, about a compassionate approach, but that but but how do you think that could actually done practically . Course it takes well, of course it takes Purse Strings opening more for this from budgets , you know, i this from budgets, you know, i mean, its promise. Like its a really amazing thing. Theres 2 really amazing thing. Theres 2 billion now kind of dedicated to solve this. Theres ten times that spent on on defence and arms for this country. If we really care about our society. Really care about our society. Yeah. It has to start with much more. Will financial with resources to provide shelter for people. But to be honest, ive seen sometimes what shelter looks like. And yes, its looks like. And yes, its amazing to have these options, but we have to think about it. The care that goes with that, because you can give somebody the keys to an apartment in an ideal which, lets be ideal world, which, lets be honest, middle of cost honest, in the middle of a cost of living crisis isnt the case. But an imaginary but imagine in an imaginary world, could give somebody world, you could give somebody the apartment. Its not. Even if you give, even if you give to rehab, most give them keys to rehab, most people to finish that, finish people to finish that, to finish that you give them that up. Even if you give them keys rehab, most people dont keys to rehab, most people dont overcome like thats just overcome it. Like thats just its statistically they dont. And what ive had family members like go, go to rehab. But most people do not overcome addiction. Why do you think that is . Why do you think that is . Why do you think that is . But just out of interest . But just out of interest . Well, because addiction, its a tough problem to solve, like you said. But just i think you said. But i just i think that you have to protect the people in society, you know , people in a society, you know, andifs people in a society, you know, and its not fair to taxpaying citizens that we go out and you see, you know, crackheads sleeping on a bench outside an apartment where kids well, we were asking joshua for his solution. Do you have a solution to this or is it unsolvable , i, this or is it unsolvable, i, i think you need to start by stop incentivising the behaviour so you got to limit, you know, because if you pay people to make poor decisions, theyre just going to keep making poor decisions and define what places like in places like la. Decisions and define what places like in places like la. You like in places like la. You know, ive seen the result of you know, them paying people to do the wrong thing. Youre going to see them doing it more. Okay. Yeah, i think that be honest. If were looking at actually trying to tackle certain look at the certain issues, to look at the most Vulnerable People, yes, this difficult im this is a difficult issue. Im not saying for one minute its not saying for one minute its not very complex. But you know what . Enough resources. What . Theres enough resources. And if we can together as a society get creative solutions. My society get creative solutions. My solution for sure would be, yeah, we have to start from scratch again and say, right now , this is not working. What can we do to provide people with more than theyre getting right now .

Weve got a guest. Be res|excellent, excellent. Well excellent, excellent. Well look stories making look at the stories making the news this. Do go news after this. Please do go away. Welcome back to breakfast at 745 this morning. Weve been talking about scotlands new hate crime bill. And we want to hear from you. And we have been doing that. People getting in touch right, left and centre. This is neil di marion, and hes from the scottish family partys edinburgh chairman. Yes. Good edinburgh chairman. Yes. Good morning to you neil. What do you make of this good morning. Yeah, all i can say is that it is really crazy, we have parties in parliament here in scotland that are making decisions for us, the people, and we didnt even vote them in. We didnt even vote these, these leaders in. So you got humza making decisions. You got the greens making decisions. And greens making decisions. And its not giving us the option of the people to actually have the chance to speak up and it just feels like its all just coming against us for the people. So against us for the people. So its a free its a freedom attack. Well, come the next election with the people vote mr humza out. Out. Well, i do believe so. After yesterdays demonstration , after yesterdays demonstration, after holly, at holyrood, just to see all the, the many hundreds that came together and just to hear so many different opinions, it does feel that there is a change in scotland and it feels it is going to be a difference in the next elections. So we are hoping for that. What does this mean for free speech in scotland . Speech in scotland . Its an attack. Its literally is there free speech anymore. So for me, standing for educate and standing for the scottish family party. So if i scottish family party. So if i say that, marriage is between a man or woman or if i say that, take the, trans ideology out of the schools, will i now be investigated . Will i actually get arrested for saying that , so get arrested for saying that, so it is just taking away our freedoms. So we dont even feel that we have the freedom to express our views anymore, theyll just professional, legal , you know, people on us now. Jk rowling, is she a help or a hindrance in all of this . I think shes a help, we were hoping that she was going to attend yesterday, but she did not, but i think she will help us because she is speaking out. She is not afraid, and again, as your the previous, viewer that your the previous, viewer that you had that spoke about fear, i just think theres a lot of fear out there, and we need to get rid of that. And the people, that are supporting, parties like these are deceived. And i think deception is the one thats causing these issues as well, because the deceive dont know that they deceive. Thanks for having your say. Thanks for having your say. Were beaten by time, but thank you very much indeed. Good to get you to what to get you on. Good to hear what you about all of you have to say about all of this, scottish voice , speaking this, a scottish voice, speaking from thank you very from scotland. Thank you very much , so we now have, much indeed, so we now have, neil hodgson and weve got. Neil hodgson and weve got. Nichi hodgson. Sorry. And weve got Alex Armstrong here. Alex, what did you make of what you heard from that fellow . Yeah. I mean, its common sense to not, to not have to hide the truth. Hide the facts. And i think people in scotland are, as i saw the protest yesterday, i saw the family party there who are sort of leading the charge. You know, thats something that neil represents. Are are trying to bnng represents. Are are trying to bring some common sense back into i do feel into scotland. And i do feel like these laws, no one sort of asked them. You know, humza asked for them. You know, humza yousaf himself hasnt actually had electability, hasnt had any electability, hasnt been elected by anybody yet as far as i know , other than the far as i know, other than the snp party, his own party. And its very hard for people like humza yousaf to point finger humza yousaf to point the finger at rishi and blame, westminster when himself been elected when he has himself been elected into any positions. And obviously hes putting forward quite controversial policies, id say, put it to the people have an early election, humza, get it over and done with and tell us what the scottish people think after that, because i dont think theyre very happy about it. Thing is, he must think the thing is, he must think that speaks of the that this speaks to some of the electorate in scotland. He must think group people think theres a group of people that want this. Well, he says its very proud of doesnt he . Of it, doesnt he . He does, and i would be yes he does, and i would be really intrigued. Mean, he really intrigued. I mean, he presumably hes thinking, i presume thinking under 35, presume hes thinking under 35, that kind group that thats the kind of group i imagine targeting. Hes imagine hes targeting. But hes made fundamental error by made a fundamental error by not including of including misogyny as part of this mean, you this hate. I mean, that, you know, were about more know, were talking about more than the population of than half the population of people with on people that deal with abuse on a daily basis. Most what people that deal with abuse on a daily llike. Most what people that deal with abuse on a daily llike to iost what people that deal with abuse on a daily llike to see what people that deal with abuse on a daily llike to see somethingat people that deal with abuse on a daily llike to see Something Like would like to see Something Like that. Know why that. And i dont know why thats excluded. They say thats been excluded. They say its theyre going to thats been excluded. They say its a theyre going to thats been excluded. They say its a separatere going to thats been excluded. They say its a separate bill|oing to thats been excluded. They say its a separate bill forg to thats been excluded. They say its a separate bill for it,o thats been excluded. They say its a separate bill for it, but make a separate bill for it, but thats seen. Make a separate bill for it, but tha its seen. Make a separate bill for it, but tha its pointless;een. Make a separate bill for it, but tha its pointless to n. Make a separate bill for it, but tha its pointless to have its pointless to have a second for it, though, second bill for it, though, isnt it . Dont understand why i dont understand why theyve it. Think theyve divided it. I think thats foolish. Make sense. It doesnt make sense. It doesnt make sense. Okay, nikki, lets lets talk about, scientist about, this american scientist who are who says british teenagers are spending much time online spending so much time online that are losing the ability that they are losing the ability to conversations. Ions, and to hold conversations. Ions, and theres not a lot of people, i think would disagree. No. No. And i mean, i think this is kind of common sense if youre a parent, it . Lots of people parent, isnt it . Lots of people comment the that social comment on the fact that social media and communicating by text and the of it is and dm and all the rest of it is atrophying the art of conversation. Think its conversation. But i think its interesting that this is particularly about the uk, about british teenagers that, you know, i think, are we worse . I think, well, were not worse, but were really but were were really struggling and i think, you know, long for time know, long for a long time people have thought, well, this is phenomenon is an american phenomenon because where this because this is where this technology but technology originates. But thats and, you know, thats not true. And, you know, if old if youve got an 18 year old that conduct that cant conduct a conversation in, you know, face to face, thats going to affect every aspect of their life, their career choices, meeting a partner and all the rest of it. It is depressing that its just easier send somebody message. It its life skills, well, it is its life skills, isnt it . Youll meet young people who to people now who dont want to pick up the phone and actually talk people, because talk to people, because everything they do is on instant messenger. Everything they do is on instant messethan actually pick a rather than actually pick up a phone someone to face face. Yeah, its the sort of dumbing down, isnt it . Its this barrier now put in this barrier thats now put in the of what good social the way of what good social skills would be. In the skills would be. And in the business, the workplace, you business, in the workplace, you need those social skills to thrive. People underestimate, you a good you know, having a good education is one thing, but being able to speak people being able to speak to people and communicate , build rapport. Being able to speak to people awasommunicate , build rapport. Being able to speak to people awas nevernicate , build rapport. Being able to speak to people awas never the te , build rapport. Being able to speak to people awas never the bestiuild rapport. Being able to speak to people awas never the best studentport. Being able to speak to people awas never the best student byt. I was never the best student by by a million miles. I was pretty average across the board, to be quite with you. But quite honest with you. But i think my social skills with people made for that a lot of people made up for that a lot of the thats exactly right, the time. Thats exactly right, eamonn. Could sell a car . How could you sell a car . How could you sell a car . How could you sell a car . How could you sell a house . Exactly. Possess these these sort skills. Exactly. Possess these these sort important thing to note the important thing to note just that quickly is just on that really quickly is that a lot of the technical stuff going away with so stuff is going away with al. So these skills going to these social skills are going to be more important in the visible. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Were about but we were talking about intelligence but alex, to intelligence there. But alex, to call someone a birdbrain could be youd be arrested in be wrong. Youd be arrested in scotland. I would say, and but birds, birds, feathered birds are developing bigger. What bigger brains supposedly. So theyre getting bigger brains, but smaller bodies. So scientists have looked, looked at birds and studied birds since, you know, as far back as they can and said their brains are getting bigger, so theyre getting more intelligent. And i think thats absolutely accurate because are are the because seagulls are are the rats sky. They i had them rats of the sky. They i had them eat my chips, stole sandwiches off me in scotland. I mean, theyre huge. Theyre like the size of dinosaurs and chips are side the wall over 100. Side on the wall is over 100. Seaside towns 100 by terrorists. I think its the fast food. Theyre eating. You know, i think theyre starting to get a bit of human intelligence. Thats oh, theres so thats crazy. Oh, theres so many here we could talk many things here we could talk about. Lets go. Nikki to, dog. Shes a dog. Brains. We go from bird brains to dog brains. To dog brains. Yes. So some scientists have said that, you know, we always talk about car teacher, old dog, new tricks. You should, new tricks. Well, you should, because expand their because it helps expand their hippocampus, is the hippocampus, which is the cognition the brain. Cognition region of the brain. And that they of and it means that they kind of stay happier for as they stay happier for longer as they get. Get older. Oh, but also on the oh, but then also on the subject what we eat, alex, subject of what we eat, alex, the nhs has launched the worlds first mass rollout of artificial pancreas, and this is for diabetes. Netflix. Diabetes. Netflix. Yeah, diabetes type one. So type one is its designed to replace the insulin shot. Its incredible technology.

So looking at the details we can see this weather front stuck across scotland through the day, giving outbreaks particularly outbreaks of rain, particularly across elsewhere across eastern parts. Elsewhere across eastern parts. Elsewhere across the uk. Its a mixture of some bright or sunny spells, a scattering of showers, some of them heavy but not quite as widespread as recent days, and some more persistent rain coming into south west later. Into the south west later. Temperatures getting into double figures 1516 celsius and the best of the sunshine, but still cold across scotland. Here 7 or 8 degrees. As we move through into this evening time, we see this area of rain slowly push its way northwards as the next area of low pressure starts to move in. During the early hours we continue to see some outbreaks of rain across scotland and for most by the end of the night. A mixed picture rain and cloud and temperatures generally 5 to 10 celsius from north to south. So its a wet picture with low pressure moving in from the southwest through wednesday morning. This slowly pushes its way north eastwards, so everywhere seeing various amounts of cloud , some outbreaks amounts of cloud, some outbreaks of rain which could be heavy at times, but the cloud should break up behind it and well start to see some sunnier skies. Trying to move from the trying to move in from the south west ahead of the next system, temperatures system, and temperatures again cold north to around cold in the north up to around 15 south. 15 in the south. Looks like things are heating up boxt boilers. Sponsors of weather on controversial hate crime laws come into force. The Prime Minister backs jk rowling as she challenges the police to arrest her parents, set to say if thousands in Childcare Costs as the governments new funding comes into force today. Well be talking very shortly to labours pat mcfadden. Heres what the education secretary , what the education secretary, Gillian Keegan, had to say in hours , more Free Childcare for hours, more Free Childcare for two year olds. So this is the next start, the next step of our reforms to make sure that we are from when children are nine months old, up until when they start school , months old, up until when they start school, and that will months old, up until when they start school , and that will save start school, and that will save most families around about £6,900 a year. £6,900 a year. A new surge in migrants crossing the channel over the weekend , 442 people crossed on weekend, 442 people crossed on Easter Sunday alone and in the sport. Ipswich beat southampton to stay top of the championship, whilst leeds and leicester both win to make up the top three. More controversy as team gb have changed a union jack on their kit for the olympics and as west ham play spurs tonight, a man that played for both record breaking goal scorer clive allen joins us. Hello. Its a mixed start to the day. Will it improve as the day goes on . Showers in the forecast but also some sunshine. Forecast but also some sunshine. Find out all the weather details coming up. Coming up. Soon. Now thousands of parents were able to access 15 free hours of childcare for their two year olds from yesterday, the first step in the governments childcare expansion. Childcare expansion. However, childcare providers have warned that the governments plans to provide parents with access to this are insufficiently funded. Well joining us now is shadow chancellor of the duchy of lancaster. Lancaster. Pat mcfadden. Very good to see you this morning, pat. First and foremost, for lots of people on principle , while this is a on principle, while this is a really good thing for families, it sounds great for them. Can the labour party guarantee that those entitlements will stay for those entitlements will stay for those families under a Labour Government . Government . Well, i dont think the government can guarantee that the entitlements will be there. We are pleased that childcare is higher on the agenda, a high quality nursery place is a really good start in life for a young child. It helps prepare them for school. They can do a lot of learning before they even get to a primary school, and its really good if they can get the place. Its also good for parents who can go back to work and contribute to the economy and contribute to the economy and childcare. At the moment is really, really expensive. So weve campaigned for better childcare for a long time, but we have a concern that the entitlements that the governments putting in place are not matched by the availability of places, and thats a concern shared with a lot of childcare providers. So what we want to make sure is that entitlements are matched by availability of places. I dont think the government can guarantee that at the moment, and thats why weve asked sir david bell, the former chief inspector of ofsted, to review this, to make sure that the places are available. I wanted to ask you about scotlands hate crime and public order act, which has come into force. You may have seen jk rowling, the harry potter author. She has challenged Scottish Police to arrest her over her views on transgender issues. Now number 10 have come out and backed jk rowling , out and backed jk rowling, saying its important for free speech. What do you make of this new law . And is jk rowling right to tweet in the way that she does . Does . Well, i dont think she should be arrested, i thats thats pretty clear. And, you know, we are not planning to create new crimes laws in this area. We want proper enforcement of the anti hate crime laws that are there and make sure that the right penalties are in place to protect people. Were not planning to legislate for new crimes in this area, and i dont think jk rowling should be arrested. Do you worry about what this means for free speech in scotland . Scotland . Well, its you know, its a its a law passed by the, by the Scottish Parliament. I thought it was slightly strange that they didnt include women in the, in the law. Theyve included a number of other categories , but i havent categories, but i havent followed all the details of it. But at first glance, that seems like something that should be addressed. Addressed. I wanted to ask you about the 20 lancashire councillors whove resigned their labour memberships in protest over the partys leadership. These are councillors who sit on pendle borough council, Nelson Town Council or brierfield town council. They all claim that sir Keir Starmers leadership no longer reflects their views. They say they will now serve as independents. Now this mass independents. Now this mass resignation is believed to be the largest defection under sir keirs leadership, so far. Youve got a real problem on your hands here, havent you . In an Election Year . An Election Year . No, i think were doing quite well, i mean, im certainly not complacent, but my focus is on the 2000 plus labour candidates that will be standing in the local elections in a few weeks time, and all our labour mayoral candidates that are standing around the country and every vote cast for them, is a vote that brings us a bit closer to getting rid of the tories. When that general election comes, as well as getting good labour councillors elected on the 2nd of may. So look, i always regret if someone leaves, but the truth is weve made enormous progress under Keir Starmers leadership where we are today compared to where we are today compared to where we are today compared to where we were four years ago when we had a really bad election defeat and we were at a very low ebb. Now, as i say, weve still got work to do , weve still got work to do, weve still got work to do, weve got a big mountain to climb at the general election , climb at the general election, but we are back on the pitch in a competitive way that a lot of people wouldnt have predicted. When keir starmer took over four years ago, pat got to leave it there. There. Pat mcfadden is labours National Campaign coordinator. Thank you for your time this morning and the time now is 8 06. And joining us now are gb news Political Correspondent katherine forster. Catherine so where do you want to begin with what pat mcfadden and other people this morning have been talking about a lot of people getting in touch with this Scottish Crime bill, scottish hate crime bill, which comes into operation or came into operation yesterday, didnt it . It did. It . Yes it did. And i think a huge amount of concern because cause if youre going to start policing what people say, even potentially in your own home, and if somebody says something is hateful, that is a very, very subjective thing. How do you measure that . And of course , weve seen jk and of course, weve seen jk rowling come out with this long twitter thread talking about all these convicted sex offenders that she talks of as women. Then that she talks of as women. Then at the end, she said, of course theyre all men. Every single one of them arrested at me. Now would they really would they really go there . Could they could they could. Could they could they could. But i think what pat mcfadden said, which is what struck me as well today, is that all these protected characteristics that they are mentioning, rafe , they are mentioning, rafe, religion, gender identity, women being female is not covered. Not covered meaning. So if youre a trans woman , youre covered by trans woman, youre covered by this legislation. If you are a woman who says something because they feel that womens rights are being eroded, theyve got concerns over single sex spaces etc, you are not protected. So theres a bit of an imbalance there. Some would say now the Scottish Government are say theyll be bringing in separate legislation around misogyny at a later date. But, you know, do we later date. But, you know, do we have free speech in this country or dont we. It is a slippery slope. Can we just break off and go to tony mcguire, our reporter in scotland, for us today to get reaction from him as to what the initial feedback is on this . Tony, were getting a lot of people getting in touch with us today. Theyre very much highlighting what catherine is saying, and theyre theyre not in favour of this legislation in. Indeed. Well, it certainly does seem to be divisive. We saw that with the hundreds of people who turned out at the Scottish Parliament yesterday to protest, andifs Parliament Yesterday to protest, and its certainly not all of them were protesting in light of what this new law means for the gender critical feminist movement and those that you know, deem a man who is born a man remains a man, but the vast majority of them were there to protest free speech, free speech seems to be at the heart of this. For the greatest number of people up here in scotland. And certainly, as you mentioned there, j. K. Rowling , you know, there, j. K. Rowling, you know, she has been at essentially at the tip of the spear of the movement that is kind of condemning, kind of trans people from kind of claiming another gender and her her protest really on all of this is that, as you said, as well, women have not been covered in this bill. However, the Scottish Government, of course , theyve government, of course, theyve said that theyre going to move forward. Other legislation which is going to tackle misogyny. But at the minute i think that theres a little bit of a sour taste left in the mouth up and down the country. Now, it is worth mentioning that the Equality Network will theyve posted actually what constitutes a hate crime. So forjk rowlings tweets, for example, misgendering someone , having misgendering someone, having holding opinions which go against i guess if you like the spirit of this law will then themselves are not hate crimes. And im sure jk rowling to some extent knows this. However, what she has been able to do is to really keep this conversation going into , i guess, magnetise going into, i guess, magnetise a lot of the tension and a lot of the, anti feeling towards this bill around herself and in very many ways, because use her position and use her status to take the brunt of the ire , while take the brunt of the ire, while keeping the conversation going. Keeping the conversation going. So the Equality Network, theyve actually come out and said , you actually come out and said, you know, to be a hate crime, that the behaviour must be serious enough to constitute the crime. The crime part of that actually means something. So therefore, holding prejudices, misgendering somebody, these are not actually fully considered hate crimes. However jk rowling, of course, you know, even 11 years after the last film was was finished, rowling certainly, you know, her books , Harry Potter Series books, Harry Potter Series bnngs books, Harry Potter Series brings a lot of money into the scottish economy, and humza yousaf and the snp will need to tread lightly here. And tony, youre outside holyrood. Yesterday. We saw protests there yesterday afternoon. Youre now in afternoon. Youre now in glasgow, i believe. What is the sense on the ground . Are people really angry about this . Are we going to see more protests . Whats i reckon overtime, whats i reckon over time, yes, we will see more organised protests. Theres a lot of, you know, highly Influential Community and politically active figures here in glasgow as well. But, you know, just to roll back a little bit, yes, there was angeh a little bit, yes, there was anger, but i think there is still a real sense of confusion. What is and what isnt included in this bill . What can or cant you say in public and why cant you say in public and why cant you say in public and why cant you say whatever you like in your own home around the dinner table . I think these are the questions that people are keen to clear up before they know which direction to point their angeh all right, tony mcguire there for us in a very wet and rainy glasgow. Thank you very much indeed, sue catherine there youre seeing describing the seeing hes describing the action and the fact may action and the fact that may continue. Continue. Indeed. Rishi sunak has indeed. And rishi sunak has come quite clearly and said come out quite clearly and said it cant be wrong to Say Something which is obviously a fact terms of j. K. Rowling fact in terms of j. K. Rowling saying that these, these sex offenders that shes listed are by illogical men. But yes, i think this is a row thats going to continue. And the snp, a party that stands for Scottish Nationalism, have really veered off, havent they, into this very progressive liberal, bent. And you do wonder, dont you , and you do wonder, dont you, what the majority do. The majority of scottish people feel its okay that effectively you can be policed for what you say in your own home and that somebody at your dinner table could report you. Let us know your views.

Developing from gaza this morning, were hearing that a British Volunteer is believed to have died in an airstrike there. Yes thats according to the hamas run government office. The Charity Worker had been volunteering with world central kitchen. Israels military has kitchen. Israels military has confirmed it is now reviewing the incident. The incident. Lets get the latest on this. We go to our home and security edhoh we go to our home and security editor, mark white, and not just a british worker believed dead in this one. Mark, tell us more. In this one. Mark, tell us more. Yeah, well of course there are many, many casualties being reported on a daily base basis in gaza. But any time foreign nationals are caught up in this understandably it grabs world attention. And this incident is doing just that because, as you said, eamonn, not just a british aid worker that is believed to have died , but an australian have died, but an australian national, polish National Dual nationals from the us and canada, the Australian Government has already responded to this, with the australian Prime Minister saying that they are going to speak to the israeli ambassador in australia to try to find out exactly what has happened here. The Israeli Government has said, for its part , its conducting a review part, its conducting a review at the highest level into what it describes as a tragic incident. But, its believed to incident. But, its believed to have happened when this , convoy have happened when this, convoy from the world, sent kitchen had gone to a warehouse in central gaza, picked up 100 tonnes of aid that had been landed by ship from cyprus , and was heading from cyprus, and was heading out, clearly to distribute that aid, when it was the convoy was struck. We have seen some pretty gruesome images coming out from one of the central hospitals in gaza showing what appears to be the bodies of aid workers , still the bodies of aid workers, still in their aid uniforms, wearing body armour and alike and showing foreign passports. Now the British Government is saying at this stage that it is aware of reports that a British National has been killed in an air strike, and is trying to get more information on that. The education secretary, Gillian Keegan, said this morning that these reports are extremely worrying. And like the Foreign Office are trying to get more in the way of information on this. It is clearly very difficult for these, aid groups to work in gaza. These, aid groups to work in gaza. Were told that this gaza. Were told that this particular convoy was working in what they call a de conflicted zone, which should allow some kind of passage, when there is coordination with the israeli military, this charity, world central kitchen said that it did coordinate with the idf, and that will form part of the investigation Going Forward , investigation Going Forward, given that there was this apparent coordination that the vehicles, at least two of the three vehicles were branded with the w. K. Logos on the vehicles, then why was it targeted, even though we should say it is a de conflicted zone, there is nothing really, truly de conflicted in gaza. The whole of that territory does still remain a war zone. Remain a war zone. Okay. Thank you, mark white. Okay. Thank you, mark white. Appreciate it. Appreciate it. Thank you , right. With that, thank you, right. With that, were going to take a break. Were back with clive allen. The former spurs and ham former spurs and west ham striker, and paul coyte who striker, and mr paul coyte who did play for. He did play. He so did you get your one game for. Was it peterborough . Was it peterborough . One game . 20 minutes, peterborough united. Yeah. No it was. It went past me by as i was. Yeah. I dont know where you were when that happened. Were when that happened. Yeah i was talking about clive allen. The footballers great record. And, and i said you play it as well, but it came back to me. Well, i like that that you actually put me in the sentence, though. Yeah, that made me feel good. Get good. Lets get the man in himself, clive because got clive allen, because weve got spurs playing west ham tonight and clive, you have had the privilege playing privilege of, of playing for both them. Course. In your time. Yes. Good morning raymond. Good morning yes i have good morning paul. Yes i have obviously during the mid obviously spurs during the mid 80s and then at the end of my career at the beginning of the 90s and actually played in the premier league with, west ham united. United. And how did that go down, clive, when you. Because theres no love between west ham no love lost between west ham and is there. Its more and spurs is there. Its more probably one way than the other way. When move did way. But when you move there did they or they welcome you very nicely or was it a little uncomfortable at first, fortunately enough, they did. Welcome me. Obviously a lot of my a lot of my family, west ham supporters, i my home is nearest to west ham than any other club. And, yeah, it other london club. And, yeah, it was, it was warm welcome. We was, it was a warm welcome. We had a fabulous season in getting promoted to the premier league. Promoted to the premier league. So ive very, very fond memories of my time at west ham. Of my time at west ham. Not all fond memories. It has to be said, because paul was was recounting this story to me, which i do remember. And what do you call it, paul . Whats the chicken gate or. Yes, keep going. Keep going through the dishes. Think of the italian dishes. Lasagne, gate, lasagne gate. Sandy gate, two thousand and seven. So you were you were coaching there, werent you . Remind me. Remind me. Im so sorry. This time of the morning. Our stomachs are feeling all right. But it was just. Its an amazing story, though, isnt it, clive . Though, isnt it, clive . It certainly is. Yes, obviously it was a west ham , obviously it was a west ham, spurs derby that was approaching. And, the lads had, lets just say some unsavoury de lasagne which caused a number of, tommy problems, we were we, we lost a number of players the night before, and obviously ended up getting beat and not qualifying for europe. So at that time , west ham, supporters that time, west ham, supporters enjoyed it. But unfortunately for the for the spurs lads, it was, it was one to forget. It really was. Well, there was so much more to it though, wasnt there . Because there was, we say lasagne. There was rumours that maybe there was poisoning involved and also the fact that i know i think it was foul play, a little foul play, and also the fact that you couldnt get the game replayed because it was the last season, wasnt it . Thats right. Yes, the results stood. There was all sorts of conspiracy theories, but obviously nothing was proved. And, unfortunately west ham, west ham eventually , were given west ham eventually, were given all the points. No. And were you all right, by the way, did you have the lasagne . No , i didnt, thankfully didnt. So i, i survived. So i, i survived. So i, i survived. Excellent. And you survived playing for both teams of course, and i want to bring in to you making a lot of the back pages, tonight or today. Kalvin phillips, the fellow who came from , from leeds to manchester from, from leeds to Manchester City. It didnt work out well. And now the lad was, was it a Permanent Transfer to west ham . No, its on loan. No, its on loan. Its a loan to west ham. Right. So hes still hes still a tottenham player. Still still a Manchester City player. Still a man city player, this lad i think, is very good, clive. I really do think hes very good. He gave his heart and soul family supported leeds soul as family supported leeds right core. Then he took right to the core. Then he took the big move to Manchester City and didnt work out well. And and it didnt work out well. And its continuing not to work out well at west ham. Yeah i have to say i do feel for him because obviously he took the loan move to west ham to, i would say try to reignite his career. Obviously a lack of game time at Manchester City, an incredible Manchester City squad as we know, but lets just say its gone poorly for him in terms of his appearances at west ham, whats happened when hes actually come into games, its been very, very costly, obviously the situation at the weekend against newcastle three one up and, he was involved in a number of the goals that, gave newcastle the chance to get back into the game and then go on and win it. So, he, hes been blamed for a lot of the, the, the, the poor results certainly on saturday and a couple of performances before that. But, performances before that. But, hes a really talented player. He needs a run of games. He needs that confidence. But he has the ability he needs to plan the euros. And you know, the thing that i really feel sorry about, paul, is not going to make its is hes not going to make its not going happen. Not going to happen. And i think is it. Clever. And i think you the nail on the head, you hit the nail on the head, didnt its confidence. And didnt you. Its confidence. And you know, youre talking about a young all the riches and young lad has all the riches and sometimes everything its going to how you to turn, but its how you actually to that. Do actually react to that. So do you think chance that you think theres a chance that it come back . And whats it will come back . And whats the best thing for him to do . Is david moyes just going to say, look, well give you a run, whatever. But then hes got fans on his which going on his back which is not going to help.

A mask that forces you to smile. And this helps treat smile. And this helps treat depression. So weve got nike depression. So weve got nike megxit alex here. And, give us your view on this one. Alex. Super interesting story. So you guys must know the feedback of having a lovely summer look at ellies beautiful smile this morning, see ellie morning, right when i see ellie smiling , i morning, right when i see ellie smiling, i feel like morning, right when i see ellie smiling , i feel like i morning, right when i see ellie smiling, i feel like i want to smile. So its to do with the psychology of you smiling as a person. So if you smile, youre less to depressed. Less likely to feel depressed. So mask thats being so theres a mask thats being trialled in this study in trialled out in this study in canada stimulates the canada that stimulates the muscles your mouth muscles around your mouth basically, and helps you to smile more. So its an at home smile more. So its an at home mask and its saying it can really help cure depression only you only have to use it for 20s, each lasting 45 minutes. And is it really as simple as that . Its really as simple as that. Fake it till you make it. Fake it till you make it. Quite literally make it. Yeah literally. I dont buy this story at all. But its a real thing. All. No, but its a real thing. Complicated. I mean, we know theres a feedback loop, obviously. Know, everything obviously. You know, everything to do with your body language and certain muscles, and activating certain muscles, activating certain feelings. Im like forth, but like works back and forth, but it be that simple you it cant be that simple that you just people to smile and just get people to smile and then they stop worrying about cost crisis and cost of living crisis and childcare parents childcare and their parents getting all this getting dementia and all this could forget, it could could help you forget, it could give well, whisky could give you, well, a whisky could help forget as well. But help you forget as well. But i mean, a smile with a drink on the side might but yeah, the side might work, but yeah, it give you an r in it could give you an r in another place and release nice endorphins, whatever. Another place and release nice encbut,ins, whatever. Another place and release nice encbut,ins, ianlteveh another place and release nice encbut,ins, ran interesting one. But, just an interesting one. I i do think laughter is i mean, i do think laughter is a beautiful form of medicine. And laughter. Definitely. Laughter. Definitely. Do definitely. But thats to do with connection another with the connection with another person joke. Isnt it . Person and a joke. Isnt it . More than just smile passed more than just a smile passed back forth. Back and forth. Maybe smiles part of it. Maybe the smiles part of it. Maybe the smiles part of it. It is forced smile. Yeah talking about smiles, alex, if dont have a very if you if you dont have a very nice smile, trying really hard here segue, and youre here with the segue, and youre struggling see an nhs struggling to see an nhs dentist, for example, might dentist, for example, you might be at this story be quite annoyed at this story that getting botox that people are getting botox and whilst youre and lip fillers, whilst youre struggling teeth down. Yeah, its pretty nuts, really, isnt it . I mean, so basically, i mean, look, dentists are struggling across the and are the country and they are disappearing the disappearing off the high streets rate. So streets at a rapid rate. So dentists are getting this backlash botox and backlash for selling botox and lip they are lip fillers before they are selling usual dentistry selling their usual dentistry services. And obviously this is ridiculous when you think about it. But its playing up to what people obviously want on the high street now, and its possibly keeping some of these, surgeries alive. But, quite shocking to think that some of these funded, you know, these taxpayer funded, you know, dentists are actually, you know, profiting quite a lot from these, you know, off the shelf botox and lip fillers. But there we go. What the people want, what the people get, i guess. Alex, are they are they tax funded . Because when you look at funded . Because when you look at it, apparently it is very difficult for a dentist practitioner to make their surgery pay for itself under nhs fees. Thats very true. They do always need some private funding in there. So some people who go on private, which is possibly part of the problem because people just cant afford to go private anymore, which is again leading massive crisis private anymore, which is again leadiwith massive crisis private anymore, which is again leadiwith teeth massive crisis private anymore, which is again leadiwith teeth acrosse crisis private anymore, which is again leadiwith teeth across britain with with teeth across britain again, so its sort a again, so its sort of a self perpetuating issue. It seems to me that, you know, you you need to have people going in, you need private services. Theyre trying to fill it up with and fillers, i dont with botox and fillers, i dont know what to make of it all, really. Were all going to be Walking Around with big lips, terrible afraid to terrible teeth, im afraid to say anything. I havent had any lip fillers. I know i havent had lip, philip. Ive had botox, full disclosure, and ive written about absolutely very about it. Im absolutely very honest because honest about this because alex said me, youre 40. Said to me, youre not 40. I like botox, darling. The other day, actually, if youve day, but, actually, if youve never had botox before, the best place dentist, place to go is a dentist, because theyre and, because theyre so accurate and, you medically trained. You know, medically trained. Then when you know your own face, you can go to someone cheapeh face, you can go to someone cheaper, is what i do now, cheaper, which is what i do now, whos fabulous. But, where did you get it done . I dont dentist. At the dentist . At the dentist . Where where in your face do you get it done all around here . Well its creepy, ive got. Well its creepy, you my. Thank you. My you know, my. Thank you. My husband is asian, so he has no wrinkles at all. And hes nearly 50. Hes gorgeous. So its like, if kind creepy and if youre kind of creepy and white, got to do white, youve got to do something it. Something about it. For dentists that are but for dentists that are struggling to make money, you can go into can see why theyd go into a state because theres money in it. And its and if youre if youre medically trained, you can with your eyes can kind of do it with your eyes closed. Its a very closed. You know, its a very easy i mean, lets closed. You know, its a very easjforget i mean, lets closed. You know, its a very easjforget that i mean, lets closed. You know, its a very easjforget that botoxan, lets closed. You know, its a very easjforget that botox also ets closed. You know, its a very easjforget that botox also has not forget that botox also has a medical as well. If youve medical use as well. If youve got terrible migraines or, you know, its grind your teeth. Yes, irony with all this is the irony with all of this is the importance this the importance of all of this should wonderful the importance of all of this should or wonderful the importance of all of this should or isnt. Wonderful botox is or isnt. Having a rotten tooth in your head know, head that is, you know, absolutely with pain absolutely killing you with pain or that obviously has or whatever, that obviously has not the highest not been given the highest priority compared and not been given the highest prshould mpared and not been given the highest prshould be. Ared and it should be. This is massive rise in kids and young people get and young people going to get turkey to turkey and young people going to get turkishaving to turkey and young people going to get turkishaving all to turkey and young people going to get turkishaving all the to turkey and young people going to get turkishaving all the teeth and in the next time they come up with these come back to end up with these little of apocalyptic pigs, little kind of apocalyptic pigs, theyre and theyre going to come back and theyre going to come back and theyre going to the theyre going to go to the dentist get their lip filler done. Going to be a really its going to be a really hysterical population hysterical looking population in 20 mean, joking. Its not i mean, im joking. Its not good. Course its not a good good. Of course its not a good situation. The fact that you cant dentist appointment cant get a dentist appointment for months and on is for months and months on end is pretty mean, if i but you see, i, i mean, if i was number of careers put in was a number of careers put in front me and said what you front of me and said what you can this, this, this, this or can be this, this, this, this or a dentist, i just could not see me it. Me doing it. I couldnt look down peoples mouths. Dentists. Dentists. Dentists. Dentists have the highest dentists. [ofitists have the highest dentists. [of suicide. e the highest dentists. [of suicide. e the highe of rate of suicide. Dont they . Of any really . Any medical, do they really . Yeah. Just so depressing, yeah. Its just so depressing, apparently. But smiling you would but the smiling you would have would you have thought that would be, you know, if youre, if you want, well, if youre, if you want, if youre a healer, kind if youre a healer, youre kind of want to fix people. Maybe not. The state maybe not. Well, the state of nhs i there nhs dentistry, i mean there really be something done. Really has to be something done. And put it and i again, i put it politicians choices and politicians have choices and they the wrong choices. They make the wrong choices. Theyre do theyre not putting their we do too for many too many things for too many people , most of which is not people, most of which is not needed or noticed or appreciated, but Something Like nhs dentistry is very, very important and somebody needs to get their finger out somewhere and either , sponsor dentists and either, sponsor dentists through university and say to them, youll work with us for five years afterwards as a result or pay them, the right amount of money. And incidentally , as we talk about incidentally, as we talk about dentists, lets not forget dental nurses , male and female dental nurses, male and female in all of this. And that is an area that that dentists that i know tell me is really hard to recruit. Yeah. To get people to do that job. Absolutely. And we have this, absolutely. And we have this, you know, this child tooth crisis as well. Children ending up a e with, with, know, up in a e with, with, you know, rotting , you know, under rotting teeth, you know, under the age of ten when i was, when i was young, every friday my father would get each a bag father would get us each a bag of sweets. I mean, anything fruit, pastels, cola cubes , whatever. Pastels, cola cubes, whatever. Theyd all be in there. Weve got our comics as well. We went to bed and with our torch to read our comics and eat all these. How i have any teeth . That sounds fun left. That sounds fun left. It does sound fun. It was fun. But the thing is, any time im in turkey, any time. Recently, heyman was new. There was nobody sitting saying, this what youve got saying, this is what youve got to know . To do, you know . Then your mother was but then your mother was probably standing probably very good at standing at sink next morning and at the sink the next morning and making you brush, making at the sink the next morning and makiyou you brush, making at the sink the next morning and makiyou brush u brush, making at the sink the next morning and makiyou brush yourish, making at the sink the next morning and makiyou brush your teeth. 3king sure you brush your teeth. Had rhyme which was she had this rhyme which was up up and down till up and down, up and down till theyre sparkling. Theyre cleaned and sparkling. Had to do. Oh, what you had to do. Oh, what you had to do. Shed brush my teeth and then shed brush my teeth after to. Good, good, good. After that to. Good, good, good. Now, rishi here. Now, rishi, rishi sunak here. This me , hes this this man amazes me, hes trying to make homelessness a crime, which i dont think comes across as very caring, but yet he backs authors and their right to free speech. After he throws down a challenge with the series of posts labelling trans women as men. And this all ties into the scottish hate crimes bill. Yeah, i mean , its i dont yeah, i mean, its i dont i mean, look, me and nikki were having this conversation in the room. We just dont know whats going on with the government at the moment. I dont know, whatever it is he seems to. Rishi seems to stand for. No one seems to know. I mean, he seems to take sides with people after theyve its like, theyve made a stand. Its like, well, the Prime Minister well, youre the Prime Minister of you take the of the country. You take the stand. Dont wait for dont, dont hide behind jk rowling as a shield. You be the man to say, actually, is the united actually, this is the united kingdom. Prime minister kingdom. Im the Prime Minister of im telling kingdom. Im the Prime Minister of this im telling kingdom. Im the Prime Minister of this wrong. Ing kingdom. Im the Prime Minister of this wrong. And the you, this law is wrong. And the government, the have government, by the way, have the opportunity block opportunity and they can block laws. So the fact rishis gone, i agree, is pointless. Have they missed the so have they missed the chance this or is chance to block this law or is that still, believe that still, i believe the best time block would be to do time to block it would be to do it during the of it being it during the phase of it being read and written. They could still rewrite the law, but it would now have to go through legislation and parliament very messy. Parliament get very messy. Labour might labour and the snp might gang up. Theres a lot of a lot of difficulty, but he could still do something about it if he wants. Its been motion since wants. Its been in motion since 2021, hasnt it . Yousaf has said and humza yousaf has said hes proud of it. And humza yousaf has said heyeah, proud of it. And humza yousaf has said heyeah, mean of it. And humza yousaf has said heyeah, mean something yeah, i mean something thats been country in been floated in this country in the i think theres the past, i think theres another here actually, another motive here actually, from tories and rishi sunak, from the tories and rishi sunak, is want to be is that they want this to be implemented they want it implemented because they want it to because they to go wrong, because they want to go wrong, because they want to examples of why to have loads of examples of why scotland rule scotland cant really rule itself count against itself and count against devolution. I think itself and count against deactually. I think itself and count against deactually happening i think itself and count against de actually happening there. Nk is actually happening there. Be so could yeah, it could be so could be. Whats happening . Be. So whats happening . See have you tried to see a doctor. Is that eight out of ten of the nhs will not see of you on the nhs will not see a doctor for more than a month. Thatis doctor for more than a month. That is really frightening. Is just shocking now it is just so shocking now that difficulty with which that the difficulty with which you get a gp appointment or dont, and the issue is, the number of gps, we just dont have enough. And this isnt have enough. And this isnt actually training up actually about training them up because retention. Because its about retention. So it we train up it doesnt matter if we train up a new swathe of we a whole new swathe of them, we cant them there because cant keep them there because they stressful. They say its too stressful. Theyve too theyve got way too many patients you know, patients to see. You know, theres incentive practices theres incentive for practices taking patients. But taking on more patients. But that kind of conducive to that isnt kind of conducive to good and i just i that isnt kind of conducive to good and ijust i dont good work. And i just i dont know what the solution is. I mean, you know, when keir starmer goes on about his plan for the nhs and its really to kind of doctors work kind of get doctors to work overtime doctors overtime in hospitals, doctors and overtime to and nurses to work overtime to get waiting list. Get through the waiting list. Whats because whats his gp plan . Because i dont see what the answer is to this, apart from buying in more doctors from overseas. And that doesnt viable either. Doesnt seem very viable either. I mean, theyre trying yeah, i mean, theyre trying to it. Seen a lot of to use it. Ive seen a lot of these apps now where theyre getting doctors on for these ten minute with you, minute phone calls with you, which problematic in which we know is problematic in itself. It seems to me like itself. But it seems to me like the only way theyre trying to deal with is go down deal with this is to go down this app route. And this private app route. And maybe even taking up maybe thats even taking up doctors as well. Doctors time as well. Nhs buying nhs frankly, nhs buying off nhs doctors to the private sector. So quite, quite a scary prospect future the prospect for the future of the country, considering we are still population still a growing population and we on top of this we cant get on top of this issue. So youd think thered be some common here say some common sense here to say we should a should have been training a whole doctors, making whole raft of doctors, making this attractive this a really attractive industry. Ten years ago. This a really attractive ind how. Ten years ago. This a really attractive ind how do ten years ago. This a really attractive ind how do youten years ago. This a really attractive ind how do you make ars ago. This a really attractive ind how do you make it; ago. This a really attractive ind how do you make it more how do you make it more attractive, though . How do you fix problem . Fix this, this problem . , theres a lot of well, look, theres a lot of money being chucked the nhs. Money being chucked at the nhs. Its a lie to that the its not a lie to say that the nhs has been at its most funded than ever has been. Its than it ever has been. Its where is money actually where is that money actually going . Question a lot where is that money actually go us . Question a lot where is that money actually go us have. Question a lot where is that money actually go us have. I question a lot where is that money actually go us have. I dontjuestion a lot where is that money actually go us have. I dont known a lot where is that money actually go us have. I dont know wheret of us have. I dont know where its going. Think a lot of its going. I think a lot of viewers news viewers will be viewers gb news viewers will be asked , wondering its asked, wondering where its going, think going, because i dont think its going local hospitals its going into local hospitals or theres really or services, but theres really got as got to be a concerted effort as you with the you said, with the with the dentists pay for their dentists fund pay for their tuition pay for doctors tuition fee, pay for doctors and nurses through education nurses to go through education in this country. These are simple solutions, but no one seems to be putting them on the table. But the thing that gets me, alex, is i then scratch my head and wonder how when i was a child, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, whatever that you picked up the phone and the doctor asked, and how is him . And ill call up and see him at 4 00. Yeah. Yeah. And the doctor called to our house. Its like having a private service. It was like. But the way it was done. But thats the way it was done. Yeah. So how were they able to do it in the 1960s . And they cant it now . Cant do it now . Well, mean, the tories well, i mean, the tories would say its because we have too many people. Weve got too many the nhs. I many immigrants using the nhs. I mean, necessarily ironic mean, i dont necessarily ironic considering it. Considering theyve overseen it. Its with mismanagement, considering theyve overseen it. Its its with mismanagement, considering theyve overseen it. Its its also th mismanagement, considering theyve overseen it. Its its also th ido management, considering theyve overseen it. Its its also th idomanetheient, but its also to do with the fact that used to be very fact that it used to be very honourable, desirable to honourable, very desirable to be a local gp, to be known in your community somebody you community as somebody that, you know, sorted everybody out and there just isnt that relationship with patients anymore. See anymore. I mean, do you ever see the twice . Because the same doctor twice . Because i definitely the same doctor twice . Because i def i iitely the same doctor twice . Because i defi dont i even know who i dont think i even know who my doctor is. Yeah. My local surgery. Absolutely. Absolutely. Dont dont criticise i dont i dont criticise them that. I agree. You just them for that. I agree. You just nicky the head there nicky hit it on the head there when i mean imagine saying that you someone was a gp. You knew someone who was a gp. You have an uncle whos you know, i have an uncle whos a gp or the neighbour, four houses as a gp. That was houses down as a gp. That was really something in that community. Honourable. Yeah. And very honourable. Yeah. And that, that, that esteem maybe we held gps in has gone. And so therefore why would you be a doctor. Because theres so many things you can do with your medical knowledge in the same esteem. Yeah, absolutely. Again, they have completely. Have been devalued completely. Well, yeah. Completely. Completely. What has happened to the world . Us know your thoughts world . Let us know your thoughts on as what you think, on that as to what you think, digital be digital phone lines could be delayed two years, and delayed by up to two years, and im sure i understand this, im not sure i understand this, but so does that mean but landline. So does that mean they rip landlines out or are landlines already digital . I dont really know about that. Yeah. So its a combination. Yeah. So its a combination. So lots of landlines are already digital. As in they need an digital. As in they need an Internet Connection to connect. But the problem is that that really is reliant on service and whether you can pick up a signal. And we know there are so many places in in britain where you just get a good enough you just cant get a good enough signal this is saying signal. So what this is saying is actually lots of older is that actually lots of older people and Vulnerable People rely traditional landlines , rely on traditional landlines, for medical help in an emergency. They often, if they need to make a medical call, they have these alarm systems that work irrespective of the internet. The rollout , the internet. So the rollout, the switch being switch to everything being digital feasible yet. Digital just isnt feasible yet. So, i mean, what its saying is that the old copper systems are still really efficient. If youve got an emergency through a if you have a home phone. No, no, no, i havent had one for 5 or 6 years at least. No, we have a home phone, no, no, we have a home phone, but can tell like but we can tell theres like only two, people. Theres only two, two people. Theres like, that come to like, cold calls that come to you them on certain relations you on them on certain relations of phone, but theyre of ruth will phone, but theyre the people. Who will the only people. Yeah. Who will who landline when you who will use a landline when you sign up to these Services Like virgin media now they just offer you a wi fi option instead of you it a wi fi option instead of having which you having the landline, which you used as a package used to come as a package from what i remember. Now, i mean, i wouldnt but now, i mean, i wouldnt bother personally. Everyone bother personally. Everyone calls my mobile. Bother personally. Everyone caliyeah, my mobile. Bother personally. Everyone caliyeah, butny mobile. Bother personally. Everyone caliyeah, but butnobile. Bother personally. Everyone caliyeah, but but its le. Bother personally. Everyone caliyeah, but but its dependent yeah, but but its dependent on you in of on signal. If you live in one of those kind black spots in the those kind of black spots in the uk, cant rely on that. And uk, you cant rely on that. And there are lots of them. Very true and youre true actually, and youre reliant your landline. True actually, and youre reli and your landline. True actually, and youre reli and nikki, landline. True actually, and youre reli and nikki, youvene. One and nikki, youve got one minute. Wanted to minute. I know you wanted to talk childcare rollout. Yes i did. So obviously the government that government is very excited that theyve to get, 150,000 theyve managed to get, 150,000 people to take up the Free Childcare under twos, but childcare for under twos, but theres of problems theres lots of problems with it. On earth is it. One is, what on earth is going happen if labour in going to happen if labour get in because they havent promised that theyll continue it the next election. So what have we got . Of children that got . A bunch of children that are be in care for are going to be in care for maybe about a year, and then theyre going to get out, theyre going to get taken out, childcare notoriously childcare is notoriously undervalued shortage of nursing weve got a shortage of nursing staff. Staff, staff. If nursing care staff, weve of places, weve got a shortage of places, even the nursery places that people want to go after are not promised 150,000 sounds promised 150,000 as well. Sounds quite me. I mean, how quite low to me. I mean, how many under two year olds actually are there . How many people are behind . And of people are left behind . And of course, issue is course, the fundamental issue is that help women with that we dont help women with their needs. Their childcare needs. You very much indeed, thank you very much indeed, nikki. Alex, thank you. And well again soon well see you again soon sometime. Thank indeed. Sometime. Thank you indeed. Lets get update on right. Lets get an update on your weather now with Greg Dewhurst.

We saw pilot of confusion over also theres a lot of anger. We saw pilot of confusion over this also theres a lot of anger. We saw pilot of confusion over this new a lot of confusion over this new law. Law. Indeed, thats true and good morning to you both. Certainly people i think, are still very much asking the question of, you know, what is it safe to say and what is it not safe to say now to to, aid the scottish public in that certainly the Equality Network have come out with a bit of a nifty guide as to kind of, i guess, allay some fears and to stop some, furore over what exactly, you know, could land somebody in hot water with Police Scotland. Now, what Police Scotland. Now, what constitutes a hate crime . That crime part of that is extremely important because, the, the direction of the, the profanity or, you know, the accusations from people. Well it has to make somebody feel really unsettled. Somebody feel really unsettled. And the Equality Network have said its important to know that many forms of prejudice and offensive are hate offensive behaviour are not hate crimes for example, misgendering someone social now that someone in social media now that is exactly something that jk rowling has been in the headunes rowling has been in the headlines for in the last. Well, well say a year really , ever well say a year really, ever since the escalation of the debate around gender reform here in scotland a year ago and one year later, will that debate hasnt subsided any. And yesterday, on the day that the hate crime and public order act came into force in scotland, she posted a mammoth 11 part tweet. I guess we used to call it post on the platform x, where she outlined her views on quite a lot of transgender scots who have transitioned from men to women. Some of them indeed are in now the penal system in jail. Some of them are in sports. Shes been quite vocal about men who have transitioned to women playing in female sports , and playing in female sports, and various other high profile trans gender women in scotland. She, as you said, there , she issued as you said, there, she issued a, i guess, a come on to police, or as people in scotland would say morning, and you know, to say, you know, shes out of the country just now, but she ianes country just now, but she invites the police to arrest her when she makes her return. Now, certainly she has been at the tip of the spear of those who have been critical of this. But as we discussed yesterday, so much of this debate is actually around free speech and the infringements on people, not just in public, but in their own homes isnt ruining their tony, is it . It is. Yes, its glasgow. Is it . It is. Yes, its glasgow. So theres a theres a good bit in that. Good bet in that. Yeah. It looks, it looks pretty dunk de. Thank you very much indeed. Lets now talk about, the child care plan that the government has been unveiling. And rishi sunak behind all of this. All. Okay, weve got in the studio right now. We have got catherine jenkins, katherine forster. Sorry on this one. Catherine. Yes. Well, first of all, i think its worth saying that this is a really, really big deal this is a really, really big deal. What the government is saying that theyre going to fundin saying that theyre going to fund in that from today, working parents of two year olds can get 15 hours of Free Childcare a week. That is going to then increase to bring in children from nine months from september. By from nine months from september. By september of next year, all working parents will be able to get funding for babies from nine months onwards till they start school 30 hours. So its a huge deal. Deal it isa deal it is a huge deal, but theres lots of people who could would want some sort of deal and arent getting it. Why is it so important to give help to parents on this . Well, fundamentally, the economy is losing a lot of people who could be working and are not working because the cost of childcare in the uk is through the roof. Its one of the highest in the developed world. So a lot of parents, mums especially, find that they simply its not worth their while to work while the children are very small. Then by the time they go back to work, theyve got a gap on their cv, so theyre being lost to the economy. So the government has economy. So the government has finally that its worth finally realised that its worth putting money in and putting a lot of money in and its lot money, £4 billion. Its a lot of money, £4 billion. It will ultimately save parents 6900 potentially. But but theres going to be a lot of problems. It sounds with the rollout because childcare providers , the numbers are providers, the numbers are actually going down. Youre going to need a lot more places, a lot more staff, childcare providers saying, hang on a minute, youre not funding this properly. Were operating at properly. Were operating at a loss already and we cant get the staff. So it sounds wonderful in theory, but the reality is you can get a code now from the government. Theyre hoping that 150,000 people will, which entitles you to these hours. But whether you can actually get these hours, thats another matter entirely. Another matter entirely. And thats what the labour party have attacked, the conservatives over saying this is a pledge without a plan. And also pat mcfadden also talking to pat mcfadden earlier, he was saying, well, the cant guarantee this the tories cant guarantee this as a plan. So we cant yet ehheh as a plan. So we cant yet either. And thats a real problem, isnt it, for families who are looking for this care , who are looking for this care, looking to put their two year old a nursery and old into a nursery and potentially in a years time, theyd to them back theyd have to take them back out because they couldnt out again because they couldnt afford it. W afford it. The government it is. And the government announced months ago. So announced this months ago. So you think that all the you would think that all the planning everything would be planning and everything would be in know, theres in place. And, you know, theres the the increase now, the theres the increase now, another increase in september, another increase in september, another increase in september, another increase next year. So its difficult to see without more funding where these places are , are going to come from are, are going to come from because the childcare sector has been , in crisis. Theres1 because the childcare sector has been , in crisis. Theres 1 in been, in crisis. Theres 1 in 4 childcare providers say theyre thinking they might shut this yeah thinking they might shut this year. So a wonderful idea for working parents in theory. Year. So a wonderful idea for working parents in theory. In practice we just dont know. And as you say, labour not guaranteeing bearing in mind they might be in government at they might be in government at the end of the year, parents trying to plan forward. And its trying to plan forward. And its making it very difficult. Catherine, weve got to leave it there. Katherine forster there, political there, our Political Correspondent. , you correspondent.

North or south of, you know, what represents us. Why is it such an embarrassment, particularly , i would say particularly, i would say britain, but id say england more than anywhere. I think the more than anywhere. I think the scots are very proud of what they have to represent them, as are the welsh. But what is it with england . England seems be only england seems to be the only country world where country in the world where taking pride in National Taking pride in your National Flag you sort of flag makes you some sort of bigot or a racist. There is the argument. Its been hijacked by the far right. But, you know, surely were beyond that. Were sort of very polite, arent we . And i can imagine all those athletes will put on their those athletes will put on their t and feel, you know, t shirts and feel, you know, like shouldnt really say like they shouldnt really say anything particular. Only the two issues tie in with the, the, the, bill this week about the, the bill this week about the, the bill this week about the that you like you the fact that you feel like you cant things anymore.

Earlier in the morning, we spoke with john obrien and neil nairn , obrien and neil nairn, personally offended he came personally offended when he came out of people out with that list of people that were white, a white judge and a white list and a white one, i dont i dont understand it. I think thats driving a wedge between people. I dont think we had a race problem. We have parties in parliament here scotland that making here in scotland that are making decisions for us, the people, and we didnt even vote them in, nicole says this new hate crime law is driving hate crime underground. People are suppressing their head and ending up hating even more. Scott says this laws a load of rubbish. It will fail. Like Everything Else that snp Everything Else that the snp have tried to ill thought have tried to do. Ill thought out stupid are. Out and stupid are. Kevin says. Whatever happened to a once proud nation that brought world so much, it brought the world so much, it can arrest you for having an can now arrest you for having an opinion. Says, has opinion. And paul says, has yusef rangers yusef ever been to a rangers versus celtic match . What joke. Dee Dee Dee Dee Dee dee dee. The bond theme right after weeks of rumours that somebody ive never heard of called aaron Taylor Johnson, never heard of called aaron taylorjohnson, but i never heard of watson. Oh, youd know, youd know his face. I didnt both say yes. I didnt both say yes. Ive looked at his face. Ive looked at his face. No. Oh, you didnt wanna see him . No. Heres his face, never seen it, but he just looks like a lot of other people. You know , a lot of other people. You know, dont dont know him at all. Im sure hes very good. Daniel radcliffe, whats his name . Bond. Who was the previous bond . Daniel craig. Craig. Daniel craig him either , craig didnt know him either, but turned out to be superb. But he turned out to be superb. Absolutely yeah absolutely brilliant. Yeah he was very good. Yeah. Very very but anyway, very very good. But anyway, who to be the next who is going to be the next bond . Hayley palmer might be able us some of the able to give us some of the answers shes an answers on that. Shes an entertainment reporter. Very good you. Entertainment reporter. Very goo lovely you. Entertainment reporter. Very goo lovely to you. Entertainment reporter. Very goo lovely to see you too. Lovely to see you too. So you knew guy. So you knew this guy. You knew this guy, you . Knew off this guy, did you . Him. I was like, i knew of him. I was like, you earlier. Id seen his face before, hes been in, kick ass and avengers. If youre into the kind of, superhero films, but i mean, for me, like you say about daniel craig, when he first came onto the scene, we all kind of went, oh , who is he . The right went, oh, who is he . The right person for the job. But actually, everyone now loves him. So it is time just to him. So maybe it is time just to give a chance. But, i give someone a chance. But, i mean, film been mean, this film has been put back because the hollywood back because of the hollywood strikes, of course, but apparently scripts are now, apparently the scripts are now, in, ready go. And is the film in, ready to go. And is the film is going to be taking place at pinewood studios. But ive looked at the odds and apparently, Aaron Taylor Johnsons 15 to 8, tom hardys 1 and henry cavill hardys 9 to 1 and henry cavill 7 2. So if youre a betting 7 to 2. So if youre a betting person, id put your bets on aaron. So what do you think . When do you think they will make any sort of announcement on this . Because its a wild coming. Yeah thats a good question because i looked this up and from what looked all this up and from what i could see, theyve actually offered it allegedly to aaron, but i dont know if hes actually signed the contract yet. So thats what the press was saying over the last couple of days. But heres the other thing. I mean, lets not forget that that james bond died in the last. Thats what i was thinking because we werent sure what was going to happen from there. So how are we going to reinvent this . Itll be interesting to see if therell if 07 will see if therell be a if 07 will become overweight or, know, become overweight or, you know, if resurrection if they the resurrection reassigned else. If they the resurrection rea� minister. Else. If they the resurrection rea� yeah. Teh else. If they the resurrection rea� yeah. Did else. If they the resurrection rea� yeah. Did you else. If they the resurrection rea� yeah. Did you ethe last yeah. Did you see the last one eamonn. Of course. One eamonn. Yes of course. Yeah, yeah, it was very good. Yeah, yeah, it was very good. Yeah. Me too. But like you say, it end like that. And say, it did end like that. And we all kind of went, whats going from here, i did going to happen from here, i did see an interview daniel see an interview with daniel craig, that he craig, and he said that he thought idris elba would be craig, and he said that he trgoodt idris elba would be craig, and he said that he trgood personiris elba would be craig, and he said that he trgood person for elba would be craig, and he said that he trgood person for thea would be craig, and he said that he trgood person for the job. Uld be craig, and he said that he trgood person for the job. Also,e a good person for the job. Also, henry cavill, you know, his name has been floating around as well , i guess you cant please , so i guess you cant please everyone, you . Theres everyone, can you . Theres always going to be someone that says, always says, well, elbas always going to because i think to be difficult because i think hes his 50s. Hes in his 50s. Hes 52. I think hes 52. I think hes 52. Yeah, because aarons 33. So hes kind of in the right. Elba would be a very good choice. Yeah, he would , but hes too yeah, he would, but hes too old because he cant he cant do more than films made more than the films are made 3 or apart. So he then or 4 years apart.

So as long as he ticks all those boxes, i its all those boxes, i think its great. Hayley. All those boxes, i think its gre honestly,. All those boxes, i think its gre honestly,. View, there honestly, in my view, there hasnt heres hasnt been a bad bond, heres your favourite bond. Well. Well. Oh, well, thats it would have rogeh oh, well, thats it would have roger. My have to be roger. Roger was my bond, i but listen, sean connery. Yeah. Pierce brosnan. Superb. Yeah. Pierce brosnan. Superb. Look at you you know, you look at you look at these folk. But the thing why it was roger with me. Roger became a personal friend. Wow. The most amazing thing that a who seen, you know, as a man who id seen, you know, as ivanhoe , as the protectors, you ivanhoe, as the protectors, you know, these different tv know, and all these different tv series and as james bond.

All of them even, even but all of them even, even the one, i cant think of the one who did the one off. The one and only, George Lazenby , he was and only, George Lazenby, he was very, very good because George Lazenby wasnt an actor. He was a model. And when you look at the film, diana rigg is in it as well. Telly savalas is in on her majestys secret service and he does a superb job. So honestly, i would not look at one of them does a superb job. So honestly, i wo say not look at one of them does a superb job. So honestly, i wo say , ot look at one of them does a superb job.

I mean, people are saying, should be someone saying, oh, it should be someone more should you more diverse or should it, you know, the role. But know, woman take the role. But for personally , i think its for me personally, i think its got to here. Got to be here. She can have own secret she can have her own secret hero if she. Exactly. Exactly. Youve got to have a strong bond and youve to have bond and then youve got to have a bond girl. Thats a gorgeous bond girl. Thats what to personally. What i like to see personally.

I havent eamonn, but im definitely available and ellie is is. You know, were but it is. You know, were talking about these names talking about these big names here. It is. Big shoes to fill, isnt it . To be next bond isnt it . To be the next bond and people have a big opinion on it. People care because it is part, i think, of being british or country. James or being in this country. James bond synonymous with being bond is synonymous with being being british. Because i was chatting to the taxi driver on way here, he taxi driver on the way here, he was defensive about who was a very defensive about who was a very defensive about who was the next bond. Was going to be the next bond. Like say, its a big thing like you say, its a big thing and it means a lot to us. So i think they have got to. Who he rooting for . Who is he rooting for .
