And those children will never forget it either. No. Oh lovely. Well i just think getting a kiss from the d day darling like that. Thats lovely, isnt it. 7 oh, and good on him. He would have loved that as well. Well, this is what ive found for you in the daily mail. This morning. I think youll like this. All right, 30 minutes of birdsong in the morning. Can send your spirits soaring. Oh, really . Yeah apparently, its really, really good for you. Benefits . Your Mental Health, bird watching was associated with 12. 1 increase in well being. 12. 1 increase in well being. Its even better than walking in nature, apparently. Oh, just listening to the birds. Just listening to birdsong apparently increases any particular bird because i do like a blackbird. Now thats a very good question. Blackbird. Ill have to get back to you on that one, because blackbird, sparrows and starlings. All right. Yeah, i couldnt i couldnt tell you what they sounded like particularly. But blackbird is quite specific in how they sound. Its beautiful. Weve got quite a few around the house. Have you. Yeah. Well, i mean, not inside, obviously. I dont like the ones that wake me up in the morning in the bush outside. What would that be . It could very well be blackbirds. Its quite. Its more of a squawk. Oh, dont know, maybe magpie. If its a squawk, it might be magpie. Oh, yeah. Maybe its magpie. See, i dont like them, but apparently its, better than other forms of nature. I dont know why. No, i dont know, i love it, i love it, i know you do. I dont think ive ever really paid attention, paid much attention to birds, to just find them quite annoying. Yes. Because. Yes. Because shes not old enough. Is something you enjoy more as you get older. Its one of those things that you because you start to appreciate as you get older. I didnt really notice it until we were in lockdown. Then every day iused were in lockdown. Then every day i used to just love sitting there listening to the birds. Oh, thats nice. Do you like watching the birds . Would you go into a little hut with your binoculars, no, no, i wouldnt go that far. No, i dont think, i dont think, i dont think id go that far into a hide. But you never know. Maybe one day. I like seeing a robin. I like seeing a robin. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Theyre quite nice. Yeah when you see a robin on the fence or on a garden. Yeah furniture not. Ihave on a garden. Yeah furniture not. I have a garden i talk about very often. I can imagine its very often. I can imagine its very lovely. And the other thing in the daily mail, which i think is probably the most obvious thing ive ever read, is, taking the stairs gives your heart a healthy workout. Well, yes. So we should be taking the stairs rather than taking a lift. Those are the two things you can do this weekend. Or escalators. Yeah, if theres an escalator. I mean, theres only one set of stairs here, and i still take the lift because i cannot be bothered. Thats true. We always have. We always have. Apart from when youre with me. And then we take the stairs. Yeah, yeah we do. I just find it. Yeah. I dont have the patience for a lift. Yeah, id like to get moving. All right. I dont mind waiting for a lift. But if you can bird watch this weekend or take the stairs, those two things are very beneficial. Were going to be feeling great by monday. Perhaps not us, because were. Were here. Well, there you go. Right. Anyway, i tell you what. Who else is feeling great . Thats the king. Yes, because hes set to return to public duties on tuesday following the positive effect of his Cancer Treatment. Yes. A palace spokesperson says king charles is greatly encouraged to be resuming some pubuc encouraged to be resuming some public facing duties and very grateful to his medical team, whos been getting care since early february. And this will provide a much needed boost to the monarchy. Well, many people have sent their well wishes, including the Prime Minister, rishi sunak, who simply said on x brilliant news to end the week, the labour leader, sir keir starmer, sent his well wishes as well on x, saying delighted to see his majesty looking so well, i wish him and the princess of wales all the best as they continue with their recovery with the support of their families. Well, joining us now is former butler to king charles grant. Harold, good to see you. This morning. Grant rishi sunak has got this right, hasnt he . This is Just Brilliant news. Absolutely. Good morning to you both. It is fantastic news. And i think this is what people have all, you know , the country have all, you know, the country everybodys going to be hoping for with anybody obviously going through this horrendous disease. These are the kind of can i say the glimmers of hope. You know when you hear Something Like this, the fact that hes returning back to some kind of normality is important. And i think also i can imagine also for the mind, you know, hes somebody that does not, as ive said in the past, he doesnt like sitting around doing nothing. So and he hasnt been i mean, behind closed doors, hes carried on. But this is more of a public side of it. Now. We will actually get to see him out and about. Ive noted its going to be outdoors , i believe, for to be outdoors, i believe, for a lot of this, which again, is just sensible and apparently a state visit in june which is equally good news. And that will be interesting to see how hes progressing at that point as to how much of a state visit that is , tell us about him as a man. Is, tell us about him as a man. As you said, he doesnt like to sit about and do nothing. But we do know that these public engagements can be quite tiring. And he is obviously the age that he is. And will he really be that desperate to get back to it . 7. I . I think 7 i think yes, . I think yes, stephen, the thing is, i was lucky enough an occasion some occasions to be with them. And yes, theyre tiring , you know, theres a lot tiring, you know, theres a lot of handshaking and a lot of smiling. And can you imagine if youre not feeling 100, you know what its like, let alone any . You know, if youre not feeling 100, youve suddenly got to kind of go into a room smiling and they do it all the time. And i think whats really important with this is that this is again, this is what hes like. This shows you his character. Ive always said that he would not like the fact that, you know, its one thing getting this disease. Its another obviously having to then stop and focus on the treatment and that is what hes doing. But at the same time, he is not somebody that likes to stop doing stuff. He is hes a goer. Hes always busy. I remember when i worked for him, i may have said this in the past. He would be up before i even was there in the workplace, and when i went to bed, he was still working. You know, this is somebody that works as many hours as possible in a day. Hours as possible in a day. And what do you think about a Queen Camilla as well . Because weve seen so much of her, havent we, in recent months . She really has had to just keep calm and carry on whilst the king has been unwell. Its been a challenging time for them as couple. It really has. I mean , its it really has. I mean, its almost unprecedented that, you know, so soon after a coronation, you know, within a few months later, obviously the cancer diagnosis or a double blow, obviously with the princess of wales and Queen Camilla has suddenly had to kind of step up to that role of the both of them at the moment. You know, with Prince William, i should say recently, obviously him returning back to duties as well. But again, she would never have expected this. I mean, as the wife of the king, you know, she would be there to support him by his side, carrying out her own duties. But he has suddenly shes having to take the duties for both of them. And im sure as you both know, as well as being a the wife of the king, you know, queen consort, shes also a mother. Shes got her own children, her own grandchildren, shes got her own life as well. And a young, you know, young grandkids. So shes trying to still focus on her own family as well as taking on this, added responsibility, which, again, knowing what shes like, she wouldnt even she wouldnt even have thought twice about this. It would just be an automatic thing. Shes going to do whatever she can to support her husband , support her her husband, support her daughter in law, and just go on with it. And this is whats amazing because she obviously wasnt born into this. You expect this from family members that are born into it, like the late queen who just got on with it. Shes actually had to kind of step up. And i think she has shown that she really is an amazing, wife of the king, you know, Queen Camilla. Okay, grant, really good to see you this morning. Thank you very much indeed. Thank you. Thank you. I was so pleased by that news last night. Lovely. Lovely. When we heard we were going to hear something about the king, i was like, oh, no, you just fear the worst, dont you . Just fear the worst, dont you . I was positive, yeah, i feel like you are. I was worried , i like you are. I was worried, i was a bit anxious. I thought they wouldnt say anything, unless it was good news, i think. But it is. Its really good news. Its great to see him getting back into action and determined to do these royal visits and all the rest of it. I just think, and as grant says, it shows the character of the man. Yeah. It does. I mean, he is buoyed by these visits, isnt he . And by these walkabouts that was clear at easter. Yeah yeah, hes someone else. We keep saying we want to meet the royals. I would, ive meet the royals. I would, ive never met, charles the king, id love to. Id love because he seems like he just seems like someone id get along with. Get along with. Yeah. Get along with. Yeah. Is it funny . I dont know, maybe you both like the outdoors. Maybe you wouldnt like me at all. You never know. Oh, he would like, but hes. Oh, he would like, but hes. I mean, i couldnt when i met camilla. I mean, she was so lovely. Well, she really, really lovely. Well, she really, really lovely. I mean, i was out, it was a charity diabetic thing, but she was really, really, you know. Crossed the game and knew know. Crossed the game and knew what it was all about and very involved. And, and they seem involved. And, and they seem really impressive. They seem also really in love as a couple. You get i think you see this picture all over the papers today. But they do just seem very, very happy together. Theyve been together 17, 18 years now, married 17, 18 years now. You think its something thats happened very recently, but it hasnt really. Theyve been together a very long time and the only time that ive seen them will be in a very close proximity to them was when southend became a city. All right. And the two of them came to down do the royal decree or whatever it is to seal the deal. And they just were very giggly and very sweet together. Well, they cant argue with that. Yeah, it was lovely , lovely yeah, it was lovely, lovely to see them like that. So best of best of luck to him. Best wishes from all of us gbnews. And its great news isnt it, that hes going to be returning to public life. He certainly is. He certainly is. Now. Humza yousaf has said he now. Humza yousaf has said he will not resign as scotlands first minister, ahead of a crucial test of his leadership next week. Yes, he says that a minority government, his party will need to make some concessions as it negotiates with other parties as its after the collapse of the snps power sharing deal with the greens yesterday. But humza yousaf says hell fight on. I fully intend to not just win that vote, but i intend to fight to make sure that the government stays, not just the government stays, not just the government continues to deliver on the priorities of the people like, for example, investing in affordable housing. So theres all that political game playing happening from the opposition. It will not be taking part. It will be getting, of course, on with the job. And when the vote comes, i fully intend to win. Lets talk to political commentator suzanne evans. I mean, look, what else could he say . Suzanne . Frankly, but how grim is it . Look, looking for him next week . Well, he couldnt really say anything else. I dont think so. Lets see what happens. He might join that long list of politicians that say they wont resign and end up doing so. But it is very grim for him. Lets be clear about that. So the lib dems, the labour party, the green party, the conservatives are all going to vote against him in a vote of no confidence next week, which puts him in a very strange position of being reliant. On the support of one reliant. On the support of one member of the Scottish Parliament, ash regan, who was a member of his party, the scottish nationalist party, but then left, over the row when she wasnt elected leader of the snp and because of her opposition to the gender recognition bill in scotland , so she defected to the scotland, so she defected to the alba party, which shes the only alba party, which shes the only alba alba party msp. It was a party thats led by the former snp leader alex salmond. So he is going to be entirely reliant on her support because there is only one vote in this and she has yet to say what shes going to do. So it is looking extremely precarious for him. It is the most extraordinary time in scottish politics at the moment, isnt it, suzanne . It is , in a sense, weve had it is, in a sense, weve had the whole implosion of the scottish nationalist party, arguably culminating in the arrest of Nicola Sturgeons husband last week. Weve had the possibility, i think, of a second referendum on scottish independence. Pretty much dead independence. Pretty much dead in the water now. The economic fortunes of scotland are still very much up in the air, so, sorry, my light has just gone off, so well have to see what happens , i mean, its happens, i mean, its interesting, isnt it, that even if he loses this vote, if hes not forced to go , it doesnt it not forced to go, it doesnt it doesnt force any change. But would there be would there be enough, pressure from within to, to force him out at that point . Well, if he gets the backing of all his own party, then, as you say, yes, he doesnt have to go. And arguably he could lead a minority administration. But but, you know, if youre a party leader and youve had a vote of no confidence go against you, that does put you in a very difficult position. And it gives you, of course, it gives you an opportunity for , the rest of the opportunity for, the rest of the government to continue to have something to beat you with. Theres no doubt about that. And one thing the greens and the snp had in common was independence and a want for scottish independence. What do you think this means for independence Going Forward . Independence Going Forward . Well, unless westminster actually grants another referendum, which i dont see, its going to do, certainly not under this government and i suspect not under any forthcoming Labour Government as well. Then it basically leaves them, i suppose, in a sense, rebels without a cause because theyre not going to get another referendum, so theyre going to be stuck in the union, it does leave. Them with their, their leave. Them with their, their kind of main objective, really stymied. Theyve got nowhere to go from here. They just keep campaigning and thats all they can do. Okay, suzanne, good to see you. Thanks very much indeed. If you. Thanks very much indeed. If you are watching or listening in scotland, itd be great to get your thoughts on that. Gbnews. Com yoursay what would you like to see happen . Is it time to call . I mean, the, the, parliamentary elections in scotland arent due till 2026. Do you want it brought forward . Do you want it brought forward . I mean, ash regans this morning said its up to the people to decide now, or it should be up to the people to decide now. Its crazy. Its all sort of hanging in the balance for her. I cant see how shes going to back him, to be. I mean, id be very surprised because when she. When she left the party, he said, well, its no great loss. Yeah. Good riddance. Basically wasnt it . Yeah. Its going to be, could come back to bite him now. I think it will anyway, lets say particularly if youre in scotland. Id love to hear your thoughts on that this morning. Now, at 6 16, lets take a look at some other stories coming into the newsroom, and the families of three men murdered in the reading terror attack are calling for urgent change after a coroner ruled that their deaths were probably avoidable. Friends james furlong, doctor david wales and Joseph Ritchie bennett were fatally stabbed in june 2020 when a libyan refugee targeted them in a town centre park. The coroner said failings by the home office and the local nhs community, Mental Health team contributed to their deaths. Contributed to their deaths. Pupils are being taught on the cheap. Thats according to a study by the union unison. It found pupils were missing out on essential support as teaching assistants are increasingly having to lead lessons and managed classes by themselves amid ongoing Teacher Shortages. Amid ongoing Teacher Shortages. And the military horses from londons household cavalry that bolted through london on wednesday morning are set to return to duty in due course. Thats according to an Army Spokesperson. They added every one of the horses involved continues to be cared for and closely observed. All our horses receive the highest standards of care. Care. The ukip looks after very, very well. Very well. Well, im glad you said that because there was there was a lot of concern this week after seeing those videos that perhaps theyre not very well looked after. Oh they are. Oh they are. They get better treatment than the men and women who look after them. Oh, really . Oh yeah. Oh, really . Oh yeah. They are the most beautiful horses. I mean, they look very well looked after. So you would hope they would be. Oh, oh, they really are. Oh, oh, they really are. So i tell you, its a relief theyre back to work. So i think there was a Horse Charity this week that said well take them in for you if you like. No, they dont need it. Theyll get theyll get better care where they are. Honestly. Theyre really they are. Well theyre the kings horses arent they. Yeah. So they get, you know, only the best. And they do look very regal dont they. Apparently it was falling concrete from a building site. Yeah. That caused them to bolt. Really spooked them. Really spooked them. Yeah. Really spooked them. Yeah. Its interesting though, isnt it . Were talking about the welfare of the horses, which is very important. We havent asked about the household cavalry. Oh, thats very true. Oh, thats very true. Who were who were knocked off a dismounted and a couple of those were, were badly injured, i imagine. I imagine. Yeah. Yeah. So falling from a horse, the soldiers dont. Theyd be all right. Theyd be all right. Oh dear. Well we hope everybodys okay. Horses and soldiers alike. But, that certainly was quite a scary sight, wasnt it . Especially that white horse covered in blood. Well, it looks it shows up, but horses. Well, if you if but horses. Well, if you if a horse cuts itself, it bleeds and bleeds and bleeds and doesnt. Oh, really . Oh, really . It doesnt clot the same as humans. So they do just bleed and bleed and bleed. So it looks worse. So it looks worse. Might look worse than it is. Might look worse than it is. Yeah, yeah, well do anyway. Yeah, yeah, well do anyway. Listen to me like im a proper horseman. Proper horseman. The suit shoe. Yeah. The suit shoe. Yeah. There you go.

First thing, we do have quite a bit of cloud across southern areas and some outbreaks of showery rain pushing their way into parts of the midlands. More central parts as we go through the day across scotland , Northern Ireland, a scotland, Northern Ireland, a touch of frost first thing this morning and then a scattering of showers developing as we head into the afternoon, and some of these could turn a little bit wintry over the higher ground. There will be some sunny spells around, but temperatures still a little bit below average for the time of year. Some places staying in single figures highs of around 14 or 15 celsius. Further south, some heavy rain then feeding into southern parts. As we go through this evening. So a pretty wet end to the day here and that rain. Then continuing to push further northwards overnight, feeding in across much of central southern england into some northern parts of england and perhaps into wales as well. First thing tomorrow morning towards the northwest, though, some clearer skies. So again we could see a touch of frost. First thing. It is going to be a wet start to the day across much of england and wales. Then tomorrow. But and wales. Then tomorrow. But that rain, although will be quite heavy and persistent for a time, is gradually going to clear its way northwards, could fringe into some eastern parts of scotland, but more western parts of scotland and Northern Ireland going to stay largely dry and we should see some sunshine.

Neither is aidan magee who will have all your sport in a couple of minutes it begins here at bang on. 6 30. Good morning to you. Good morning to you both. Good to see you. Lets talk about the foxes. Should we. Absolutely. Well, they didnt kick a ball last night, stephen. And yet they went back to the premier league at the first time of asking. Leeds united needed a point, a minimum at loftus road last night. Qpr, just a couple of miles away from here, and i was lucky enough to be at the game. Now qpr needed at least a point really to stay up, so there was something in it. I think they were going to stay up anyway, but the worry from leicesters point of view and ipswichs point of view, who are the promotion rivals of leeds in the promotion rivals of leeds in the championship, was that maybe qpr might invoke that phrase that we hear there on the beach. Theyve already quit for the season, theyve already signed off, but not so. Queens park rangers absolutely brushed them aside by four goals to nil, and leeds united looked absolutely desperate throughout the game. And theres a picture of me at the ground actually , which the ground actually, which youll see see in a minute, which well pick up. Which well pick up. Ill look at it. Well you never know. You never know. You never know. Well have it. Well have it. Well have it. Well have it in a sec. But, but nonetheless, qpr are absolutely outstanding. Leeds united they played on monday at middlesbrough. They won four middlesbrough. They won four three. A really emotional game, a little bit unfair that they have to play just a few days later, especially as they were. Both matches were on the road, but what it meant, their failure to even get a point means that Leicester City were promoted and theyre on course for 100 points this season. And a word on leicester as well because very difficult relegation for them last season. Jamie difficult relegation for them last season. Jamie vardy eight, last season. Jamie vardy eight, 37 years old or 37 years young. Hes waiting with 18 goals to help them back. But they had a really difficult spell around about february time. They just lost four games out of six and just took one point and it was a very difficult spell and everyone thought that having had a 12 point lead at the top of the table, they would fall away. In fact , there was 14 points in fact, there was 14 points between themselves and third place. They do have this issue with being charged by the premier league for alleged breaches in profit and sustainability. Charges actually on the start of next season so they could start next season with a points deduction, which makes their makes their situation very , very difficult situation very, very difficult for next season. But nonetheless at the moment theyre celebrating ipswich. Play celebrating ipswich. Play tonight against hull city. So they have theyve had a real boost as well from leeds not winning. And if leeds are left to go in the play offs, given that they came down last season, it could be a difficult time for them as well. You dont really want to drop into the play offs even when youve youve just failed to get automatic promotion. It puts you in a bit of a bad frame of mind. What you want to be in the play offs is a side thats going into it in form, but nonetheless, congratulations to leicester and qpr did the business last night on their behalf. Lots of lots of thanks from all those clubs to qpr last night. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yes. Yes. And is congratulations in order to arne slot. Well i think so. Yeah. It looks, it looks that way. There were reports late last night dunng were reports late last night during the game actually while i was at qpr that, that qpr that qpr on the brain. No liverpool, no change. There yeah. Liverpool have agreed a £94 million package. Now its rare that you pay for a manager but thats how valuable they see this guy as being. Now its add ons as well. Its i think its seven and a half up front and its dependent on success as well. I mean its like if signing a player. Yeah, this is how this is a 45 year old guy from from holland. Holland is from from holland. Holland is a key thing here because just like players and just like managers, sometimes. They do well when sometimes. They do well when they come from holland, they they come from holland, they they acquit themselves well in they acquit themselves well in the premier league. Sometimes they simply dont. Weve had loads of players that have either been outstanding or absolutely useless. Erik ten hag is of house. Hes still is one of the house. Hes still the jurys still out. Hes went to he went to man huge to he went to man united huge job years ago. It looks like job two years ago. It looks like hes going to his job this hes going to lose his job this summer. Ronald koeman was another one 810 years ago who came to england, had spells at southampton quite successfully and then everton, a really stellar playing career but couldnt quite cut it at a really big club at everton doing the job. So. So the jurys out on that. But they like his playing style. They like the fact that he is able to develop players. He won the eredivisie last season. He won the dutch cup. This season. Theyre going to finish second in the league. It looks like this time around and ill get a picture later on, but it means all the main four managers in the north west this next season are all going to be bald , which weve not had. All bald, which weve not had. All right, well get a picture. But i mean, its great. This seems to be a move towards bald managers. Bald managers. Yeah. Yeah. So weve got ten. Well ten hag might not stay but guardiola. Arne slot. Of but guardiola. Arne slot. Of course. Sean dyche at at everton and erik ten hag if he survives. Oh there you go. Oh there you go. Oh there you go. So what are the key games were looking at for today . Were looking at for today . Well weve got west ham and liverpool. Liverpool have one last hurrah today to try and get their title challenge back on track. I did say on this very program in january, steve, and if you remember when klopp announced his departure, i did say that they would struggle because when you announce your leave yourself, right. Well, no. Well i told you, you know that. You know how it works. If i get them right, ill remind you of them right, ill remind you of them and the rest of them we just forget. But i did say that midway through the season, if youre announcing a leave, even for a side with high standards, with as high standards as liverpool , you might see a drop liverpool, you might see a drop off. And were seeing that in the last few games. I think its just like Alex Ferguson in 2002. I feel he handed arsenal the title that season. When he announced in january that he wasnt going to be continuing, and that was a really stupid thing to do by fergie because he all he wanted was a new contract, which he eventually got. He ended up staying, but i think that anyone in, you know, just in life in general, you know, if youre in, if youre in a job and you know your boss is leaving, its natural to kind of look ahead to whats happened, what happens after that . I mean, if youve seen some terrible results in the last couple of weeks, they lost to crystal palace. They went they went out of the Europa League against atalanta. Thats a real that was a that was a match they really or a competition they really should have won. And of course they they lost at the weekend as well against or sorry on monday against everton, which was a terrible result. So i think youve seen that drop off. I think its between Manchester City and arsenal now. Those two are in action tomorrow. Arsenal got a massive game against tottenham, who will be keen to do them no favours whatsoever. Do them no favours whatsoever. Aiden, good to see you. Thank you very much indeed. Now do you very much indeed. Now do stay with us still to come. Stay with us still to come. Were going to be going through the papers with susan holder and emma woolf. Thats next. Its 638. Lets have a look at some of the papers for you this morning. Well start with the mail. It leads with the news that the king will return to work following Cancer Treatment. Work following Cancer Treatment. The times also reports on the kings return to work, but says his Cancer Treatment is still not over. The telegraph has the king marking his return with a visit to a Cancer Treatment centre this tuesday, and the sun also leading with the kings return to public duty. Its bound to be the top story, isnt it . And the the top story, isnt it . And the daily star leads with the mysterious curse of the pharaohs being solved. You know, guess what . It is radiation. So they say. Oh, really . From what . How . Who were had no idea. Well read that. Well read that. Certainly very interesting and a bit different from the start shall be revealed. Oh, yes. We look forward to that. Wolf who is here alongside susan holder. Good wolf who is here alongside susan holder. Good to see you wolf who is here alongside susan holder. Good to see you both holder. Good to see you both this morning, ladies. Good morning susan. Lets start with you shall we . Because it is leading almost every newspaper. This morning. Of course, the king returning to public duty. Yeah. And i have to say it was with great relief that i saw that update yesterday. I knew there update yesterday. I knew there was going to be an update coming out, and i was very relieved that the update was good news, as im sure everybody else is. And not only because, thats what we all want, but how reassuring for people. I just reassuring for people. I just know how reassuring it is. The story of the king and princess of wales having cancer is obviously its so shocking. And i dont know why because cancer affects 1 in 2 people and i dont know why because cancer affects1 in 2 people and it i dont know why because cancer affects 1 in 2 people and it can affects 1 in 2 people and it can affect anybody. But what what we affect anybody. But what what we can see why this is how much treatments have come on, what hope there is out there for people who are, who are, who are struggling and suffering. And it does give hope to people when you can see that, that people are going , getting back to work. Are going, getting back to work. Well, that was always the dreaded c word was it was. Yeah, it was a kiss. Well, exactly the c word. People wouldnt even say the word. And it is especially, you know, were were from or where you are now. Anyway, if everyone went to christies. Yes. If you heard someone was going to christies, it was like, yeah. Christies, it was like, yeah. And i yeah. And obviously because my husband has been treated for cancer at five years ago and weve, weve spent a lot of time at christies and its the most wonderful place. And i dont go in there with any sense of dread because you just know youre being youre just getting such marvellous treatment. Yeah, yeah. But it is, it, it is really positive and it is for people. There will be so many people. There will be so many people out there watching who are going through Something Like that, who have relatives going through it, and its all i used to cling to stories of people defying odds and, and getting good news. And you just it is just because its the mental strength you need to go through. It is even is the most important thing. And for the king and the queen, i think getting back to work will be hugely important , work will be hugely important, because you just want life to go back to a bit of what you know is normal. And for him, thats thats going back to public dufies thats going back to public duties and public facing duties. And he will want to do that desperately. And you can see how much he takes from meeting the public. And he enjoys those walkabouts. It will it will really buoy him wont it . I think so, yeah. And theres been some doctors actually commenting in the media as well saying this is a good sign. This, this shows that, you know, of course hes not out of the woods yet, but this shows that things are going in the right direction. Given that the medical advice is , yes, youre medical advice is, yes, youre ready to sort of, you know, work again , of course. I was thinking again, of course. I was thinking overnight, though, about catherine and worrying and then you start to worry and i think, well, we havent heard anything from her, but i do think that she needs her privacy. She needs time to rest and recover and go through whatever shes whatever her treatment is. But i wish we could have a as as equally a positive update from from catherine. Well, hopefully soon that comes in time. Yeah. Wed all wed all like to hear that. Yeah emma, lets stay with you, shall we. And look at the guardian front page. And this is at the front page. And this is at the scale of the Teacher Shortage. Crisis yeah. So this is a really shocking, sort of study or poll finding the a survey, finding that thousands, hundreds of thousands of pupils in england and wales are actually being taught by effectively unqualified teachers. Theyre being covered. Their classes are being covered. Their classes are being covered. Their classes are being covered by teaching assistants. Assistants. Theyre not teachers at all. Theyre not, you know, all due respect to a teaching assistant, theyre not a teacher. Theyre not teachers. Theyre not qualified. Theyre not qualified in their subjects. Lots of them are covering at primary level with a few minutes notice. Primary level with a few minutes nofice. So primary level with a few minutes notice. So theyre going in from sort of nursery level to year six. And then at secondary level, theyre covering gcse subjects. No, no, no where teachers have left and just have not been able to be replaced. So teachers are routinely going off sick. Theyre theyre theyre not filling the places , and it not filling the places, and it just seems and particularly , just seems and particularly, special needs children, special educational needs, there are 1. 5 million of those in the uk , and million of those in the uk, and theyre being particularly badly affected by it. But, you know , affected by it. But, you know, weve seen it in the nhs, we see it in education now the real scale of this crisis is apparent i but apparently, you see, its not that many years ago when, when my mother was teaching and wed go when she was going into teaching it was seen as a really well respected profession. It was a really viewed as a really important job. And that all just seems to have disappeared now. Well, its quite weird as well that the one thing, one thing that the one thing, one thing that i remember when i was at school, when you were trying to talk about careers to teachers , talk about careers to teachers, the only thing they ever wanted you to, to tell you to be was a teacher, because. Teacher, because. So if they cant kind of encourage people to follow them, then i dont know what hope there is really, because trying to tell them that you want to be a journalist, you just used to 90, a journalist, you just used to go, i got laughed in the face. Yeah, they had no experience of that. But oh, be a teacher, be a teacher was what they all encouraged. Presumably theyve stopped doing that now, and thats quite interesting to know. Why, because theyre the they should be the best advocate for the job and they should be able to kind of encourage their prodigies who are coming through to them so that thats to follow them so that thats what needs to happen. I mean, ive got friends that are teachers and they just say they they are on the verge of burnout. Yeah, theyre finding the workload really, really difficult. They have very challenging. Children often dont have the support in the classroom to help with that. They feel as though theyre social workers as well. As i was going to say, as teachers, thats the problem. They dont they dont just teach now its all the breakfast clubs, after school stuff , you clubs, after school stuff, you know, hygiene. Yeah, hygiene stuff. Stuff. And i think, stephen, you make a good point. Its not seen, its not high status the way that it used to be. I dont think the pay and conditions are necessarily always the best. Its not something that people are drawn towards as a kind of high status profession. And as you say, youre dealing with so many other issues around just, you know, its not just the kind of classroom hours. I think its a very, very gruelling profession with not that much reward. Reward. And they dont get back up from parents in the way they used to do they. So its not the children usually that are the problem. Its the fact that you, you might reprimand a child or you might reprimand a child or you might reprimand a child or you might have a child thats difficult to deal with, but then you have to deal with the parents who dont back the teacher up in what theyre trying to kind of instil or, or kind of, well, they are moulding an entire generation. So it should be the i think it should be high status and i tell you what really annoys me is that when people say, oh, its an easy job, they get six weeks off in the summer. No they dont. No, they really dont. It might be six weeks worth of not teaching children, but theyre not. They dont stop working, tell dont stop working, ill tell you nothing. You that for nothing. Yes , well, we are both the yes, well, we are both the product of teachers, arent we . Yeah , yeah, both of our yeah, yeah, both of our parents were teachers. And did did either of you think about going into teaching . No. No. Couldnt do it. No but weve seen how hard it is. Yes. Yes. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. My mom never stopped. No, she never stopped. She was writing reports , going through books and reports, going through books and all the rest of it till nine, 10 00 at night. Every night . Yeah. In during the holidays, sorting out classrooms and doing results. And you know, timetables and all that sort of thing. So its a real drama for years in schools, in primary schools for about ten years. But i would go in and do drama and come out again. So i wasnt there permanently. But the one thing about working with children that you learn very quickly used to working in newsrooms and doing that sort of thing. Theres no you cant you cant stop, you cant turn your back on a room of children and just have a cup of tea or read the paper youre on all the time. It is. And its that sort of mental stress. I think that people dont quite understand that you cant be in front, you cant be in a classroom of children and take a moment for yourself at all. Yeah. It is really full on vocation. Youve got to have a passion for it. Yeah, definitely. I for it. Yeah, definitely. I mean, my mum, she loved it. She loved. Yeah and so did my parents. And so did my parents. It was, you know, really hard work. But that is a concern , isnt but that is a concern, isnt it . Youd think itd be very detrimental to children not even having a qualified teacher at the front of their class at gcse level. Oh, let us know what you level. Oh, let us know what you think about that. Gbnews. Com yoursay susan, lets have a look at the. I, well, were looking at mega farms supplying chicken. So its the front page. Theres the i is the only paper not to go with the king as its front page lead because theyve gone with toxic gas surge from us Style Chicken farms. So its the sort of intensive farming places that supply, your big supermarkets , tesco, marks and supermarkets, tesco, marks and spencer or mcdonalds and nandos and what theyre saying is that the emissions from these intense chicken farms put ammonia into the air, which , ammonia into the air, which, when it combines with other things, can be really detrimental to health, and, although overall its gone down since 2017. In the country, there are pockets where its really kind of stepped up, and one of those areas is powis and neighbouring herefordshire , neighbouring herefordshire, gloucestershire and monmouthshire, and its actually having a real effect on the, on, on the, the rivers nearby as well as i say, being something that people are concerned about for health. So it can kind of, mix and affect the lungs and the bloodstream and this sort of thing , which bloodstream and this sort of thing, which is bloodstream and this sort of thing , which is which. Yeah, thing, which is which. Yeah, youre a vegetarian, so youre youre a vegetarian, so youre youre youre okay. Yeah. Youre well, youre not okay if you walk past the chicken farm, presumably. But it doesnt make you want to go and have a chicken, you know, a chicken burger. Does it really. No. No. Steven, dont you think the more you hear about this stuff, the more you go, im vegetarian. I havent eaten meat for about 21 years, and i just. And im not criticising people that do. Im absolutely fine with it. But the more you hear about the way that animals are intensively farmed, the way that theyre slaughtered, the way that theyre treated in life and afterwards , i just think, how afterwards, i just think, how can you shut your eyes to this unless youre, you know, spending a huge amount of money and going organic and going to these very, very exclusive butchers, you must. Acknowledge butchers, you must. Acknowledge that if youre buying in the supermarket, you know, lots of this is in kind of intensive farming. I dont know how you get around it, really, apart from going back to the good old days and, you know, proper farmers, obviously the welfare of their animals is absolutely key. But its, its supply and demand, isnt it. If you if you know, if nandos and mcdonalds and all the other places and people, how much people are prepared to pay for whatever product they need. And also when it comes to farming, i dont know enough about farming to know, but its all very well. Criticising chicken farms. But criticising chicken farms. But there could be that you hear a lot that the vegetarianism is fine, but theres lots of things that go on in farming for all sorts of products that can actually have an effect as well. Its not all just because its vegetarian. It doesnt have any effect on the environment. There are there are other other issues there as well , yeah, its there as well, yeah, its a difficult one. Its a difficult one. Its a difficult one. But you dont really want a toxic gas from a chicken farm. Doesnt sound great, does it . No. Youre having your breakfast, i do apologise. Emma, lets take a look at humza yousaf, shall we . Who is standing strong for now . Well, he says this is. This is his desperate attempt to cling to power. The snp leader in scotland , hes had a very. In scotland, hes had a very. Well, what would you say . Chaotic few days. Very chaotic few days, obviously he he decided to end his, well, to scrap the coalition with the scottish greens, which has spectacularly backfired on him because now labour are attempting to or everybody clubbed together and basically unseat him. Theres going to be a confidence vote. No confidence motion expected this week. Probably voting on that on wednesday or thursday. But what will it do to him . Thats the issue because it doesnt force him to go. No. Doesnt force him to go. No. And if he loses it, how he responds to that . Well lets see, but yeah, it could, it could force it could eventually lead to a holyrood election , but lead to a holyrood election, but we shall see. But obviously all eyes on scotland at the moment. Its been quite exciting and quite dramatic. Quite dramatic. Its been quite interesting to watch. I mean, from, from an outsider perspective, its been quite interesting to watch the snp implode. I mean, look, it snp implode. I mean, look, it happens to all Political Parties once theyve been in power for a long time quite quickly, hasnt it . I mean, sturgeon has had a quite dramatic fall from grace as well. Yeah and suddenly the snp are really, really quickly in tatters. And its amazing how fast that can happen. Fast that can happen. But surely he cant cling on if he loses a no confidence vote next week. I mean, politically you cant cling on if everybody i mean the to me, the more damaging thing thats been going on recently with him is, is the whole that hate speech kind of bill and everything. I think the mess thats been created with that, it just that does call into question his judgement and everything else. I judgement and everything else. I do wonder what on earth he was thinking and why on earth that that that was something that he may cling on as a minority and try and carry on as a minority government would be almost impossible to get anything through. Through. And then what happens anyway, when we have a general election later this year . You know, i mean, i think labour are rubbing their hands, arent they. Well, yeah. Well, yeah. Well, yeah. Well thats seeing a resurgence arent they. Yeah. I mean absolutely. Yeah. Its going to be interesting to see what happens with, with westminster seats north of the border. Yeah. Its going to be interesting. I cant see how the snp are going to do particularly well on that. But of course the snp westminster leader steven, on his surname now, but hes Standing Shoulder to shoulder, he says with humza yousaf until he isnt, until he isnt, until he isnt. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well yeah. Well yeah. Until he regretfully. Yeah until he regretfully. Yeah stephen flynn, whenever they give the full confidence its always its always just before they dont. Its. Yes, yes. Its never a good sign is it, this this intrigues me, susan in the telegraph saying joe biden would be happy to debate with trump in the president ial election. Well, again , he would say well, again, he would say that, wouldnt he . When finally hes finally said, you said it, but he said it to, the shock jock howard stern. So which yeah, who on a radio interview in america. And when you put on the spot by howard stern, i mean, where else are you going to say youre not . I would think that he is going to say that. But and trump went straight on on x, formerly twitter and said, well, he doesnt really mean it. So until hes again , you believe it when hes again, you believe it when you see it, wont you. Really . He has got to say, though, that he was he is going to he is going to debate. But, but yeah , going to debate. But, but yeah, i mean whether or not it could just be the kiss of death. Well, hes been avoiding this issue for months and months and months, so he said so. Howard stern said, look, are you going to are you going to debate because trumps up for it . Trump will absolutely be, you know, thinks hell wipe the floor with him, which he may well do. And he said, yeah, well do. And he said, yeah, okay. Yes, of course i will. At some point. And he was sort of some point. And he was sort of vague about it. And trump immediately said, brilliant, come down to the courthouse where he is, where hes being tried for all this stuff, trump, trump said, you know, lets debate right now. So i think biden needs to be careful because he does, i think, need to debate with trump at some point. They need to have a head to head or is he going to keep avoiding him . Hes been dancing around this issue for a while because he knows that what hes not as sharp as. What do you think about debates over here then . Because there was this big push. We had there was this big push. We had the first one, it was back in. Was it 2010, wasnt it . Who . Who . Alex. Yeah Alastair Stewart hosted the very first one, im against them. Oh. Are you. I have to say, do you think do you think it gives a false kind of reading on on what people i do. I think its all because its all about performance and not about substance. Well, but it does show whether people are across their brief. It does show whether people can string a sentence kind of lucidly together. And enough is it . Well its better than not being able to do that. Well, i quite like the debates. Yeah. Well, i mean i think its entertainment value. I was going to say its a good spectacle, but really does it give us any more. We know they can string as well. They can or cant, but they cant because they do. But but no, but i mean, they all of our candidates , we see them give our candidates, we see them give lots of public speeches. They pretty much all do the round of the interviews they have to do. But i think youre right. Is the head to head really . Is that the. I think it highlights weakness a lot more than you would see in Something Like a media round that youre prepared for. I think in a debate you cant prepare often. For what . For what comes up, what comes up. Yeah. And it does highlight weaknesses and gaps in knowledge. I think often the ones where the public well obviously, but theyre selected as well. I was going to say the public asking questions is often quite revealing and more revealing in a way, because that puts potential candidates on the spot. Potential Prime Ministers on the spot. But whether the actual kind of, you on the spot. But whether the actual kind of , you know, actual kind of, you know, starmer versus sunak is, well , starmer versus sunak is, well, it is its a good public spectacle. I mean, the problem is, you know , they will kind of fall know, they will kind of fall into just having a pop and trying to trip each other up. And thats not, thats not, thats not always what, because the last one, that the first ones were very good and quite interesting. The last set that were done, there was some of the debates because obviously every channel gets a pop at it, some of the debates i just thought were really poorly handled. And you came away having learned nothing about what they stood for or who they were as a person or anything else. And we do see them every wednesday in the in them every wednesday in the in the chamber , having a go at each other. So its not as though we never see them head to head. Yeah, but yeah , i quite enjoy them. Emma, weve got 40s for you to tell us about the pharaohs. Were desperate. Well, theres a theres this legendary pharaohs curse. And legendary pharaohs curse. And when they opened the tomb in 1922, people died. And 1922, people died. And apparently theres loads of Radioactive Material, a lot of Radioactive Material, a lot of Radioactive Material, a lot of Radioactive Material thats built up in the tombs because of unopened tombs, which can actually cause serious cancer and radiation sickness. Thats and radiation sickness. Thats the curse of the pharaohs, apparently. But its according to the journal of scientific exploration. Its not just the star going, i think you messed with a curse at your peril. I dont think we should try and make a scientific thing on it. I think youre probably right. Lovely. Thanks both. Heres your weather. A brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on. Gb news. Morning. We have some heavy , morning. We have some heavy, persistent rain arriving later today, meaning tomorrow is going today, meaning tomorrow is going to be pretty wet for some of us. However, before then its a rather showery day for many of us today. First thing, we do have quite a bit of cloud across southern areas, and some outbreaks of showery rain pushing their way into parts of the midlands. More central parts as we go through the day across scotland, Northern Ireland. A touch of frost first thing this morning and then a scattering of showers developing as we head into the afternoon, and some of these could turn a little bit wintry over the higher ground. There will be some sunny spells around, but temperatures still a little bit below average for the time of year. Some places staying in single figures highs of around 14 or 15 celsius. Further south, some heavy rain then feeding into southern parts as we go through this evening. So a pretty wet end to the day here. And that rain then continuing to push further northwards overnight, feeding in across much of central southern england into some northern parts of england and perhaps into wales as well. First thing tomorrow morning, towards the northwest , though, some clearer northwest, though, some clearer skies. So again we could see a touch of frost. First thing. It touch of frost. First thing. It is going to be a wet start to the day across much of england and wales then tomorrow, but that rain , although will be that rain, although will be quite heavy and persistent for a time, is gradually going to clear its way northwards, could fringe into some eastern parts of scotland, but more western parts of scotland and Northern Ireland, going to stay largely dry and we should see some sunshine also breaking out across parts of west and wales and southwest england. Two temperatures similar to today but obviously feeling a bit more unpleasant when its going to be very wet. That warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. Way.

It is indeed. Yeah, absolutely. Well done. Well absolutely. Well done. Well done. To the king, remind ourselves that we knew he was unwell. Well, early, very early unwell. Well, early, very early part of the year, february the 5th. We got the news that he actually had cancer, which was beginning to be widely , worried beginning to be widely, worried about. Weve never been told exactly what the cancer is by. Okay. And here he is getting back to duty. But okay. And here he is getting back to duty. But this amuses me, really . Because you know anything about this man, hes always on duty, i was reading somewhere that one of his. One of his relatives, one of his many relatives, said that he was hugely frustrated that he couldnt get on with with work in the same old way. But hes still been doing a lot. He still sees his private secretaries and all those other people every day. Hes been doing that. Hes been still being meeting Prime Minister, the Prime Minister for the tuesday engagements , still the tuesday engagements, still being going through the red boxes. And then he goes off to sandringham and theres a garden there, the new garden. Hes looking after you. This is a restless individual. Cant keep him down. But wasnt it his mother who said something along the lines of , you know, weve the lines of, you know, weve got to be seen to be believed, seen to be believed. Exactly. Seen to be believed. Exactly. Yes. Actually, this goes back a lot further than that. I think. Lot further than that. I think. Really it was i think george the third, who had a lot of children, george the third, and they were a bit of a reluctant bunch, rather rather neer do wells. You have to say he got very cross with them because he said, the important thing about us is to be seen. Our job is to us is to be seen. Ourjob is to be out there and thats gone right through. And certainly the majesty the queen took that view. It turns out, you know, after the queens death, i was. Quite the queens death, i was. Quite surprised about this. She had more bouts of illness than you might have expected in her life. Yeah. I might have expected in her life. Yeah. I mean, stories began to come out understandable. Lady lived on to nearly 100, so why wouldnt she. But you never. If you looked at her diary and looked back at what shed done, looked back at what shed done, looked at all the films over the years, the tv coverage and so on, this was endless work, you know, out and about. Yeah. And she was so stoic as well, wasnt she . I mean, were talking about king charles being a restless individual. Well, you a restless individual. Well, you can imagine that this news is great news for him as well, because it will be so beneficial for him to be back to work and being amongst people. Yes. I mean, its interesting, isnt it . The first engagement in the new round. Engagement in the new round. Yeah. As you as im saying, hes been doing lots of things, but this is public duties. Now. There are defined expression. There are defined expression. One is to go to a Cancer Treatment centre next tuesday. Ill be very interested to see which Cancer Treatment centre it is. This is a subject i know a bit too much about. As ive probably said here before , but probably said here before, but thats the first thing hes going to be doing. But its absolute classic example of the sort of way he wants to get involved and where he wants to be seen. But thats the acknowledgement of the power of all of this, isnt it . And although , i mean, for one thing, although, i mean, for one thing, you know, why cant they just have their privacy . And if they want to be, you know, if theyre ill, just be ill privately like the rest of us. Its different for them. If only because actually the positive impact sharing their stories can have. And going to the Cancer Treatment centre on tuesday will have a huge impact. Well, when it was announced he had cancer and of course in the background, we know that the princess of wales, theres a whole herb. Her struggles with the same thing had an enormous pubuc the same thing had an enormous public impact. And thats thats inevitable, isnt it, but this business about getting back to work, i mean, full time work. And in the case of the king, hes one of these people who gets up early. Hes the sort of person who wants to see everybody very, very early. Does. He doesnt believe in lunch and all this sort of thing. Oh, yeah. Yeah, but retiring , tiring sort of retiring, tiring sort of business altogether. But getting back to sort of full time work, i think it is very, very. Important. Or whatever you do in life, you may not have a job to do, but if youve got a family to run or relatives to see or people to care for, once youre with a bit of luck through your own, medical toil, getting back to doing that is so beneficial. Youve got a very packed programme coming up. If he decides to do everything. I was decides to do everything. I was having a look through the list. I mean, it ranges from. Theres the trooping the colour coming soon. Theres the anniversary of the coronation, may the 6th. Thats thats an interesting point. I mean, im sure something will be done to mark that. But then further out, theres, commonwealth heads of government meeting in samoa, not just around the corner, is it . Thats going to be a tiring journey, even for the king. And, and hes also planning a trip to australia. Whether all these things happen , i think doctors things happen, i think doctors will probably be saying, sir, sir, hang on a minute. Lets just just come here. Lets have a look at the old Blood Pressure monitor on. Yeah, but but no, its terrific. And it and it will i think help in the way that his initial diagnosis helps sort of encourage people. I think this will give even more encouragement. And what do you think this means for the monarchy as well . Because it has been a really challenging few months, hasnt it . I mean, it really is a slimmed down monarchy. Weve seen the pressure on Prince William, who has his own pressures. Obviously with with his wife as well, and queen to camilla challenging time for her. And shes been wonderful. She has. Yeah. Well shes shes had to carry the carry a lot of the load hasnt she. Because of course we know others are not, not available. We mustnt forget either Prince Edward and now the duke of edinburgh and his wife sophie. Theyve done. Theyve really stepped up. Theyve really stepped up. Theyve really stepped up. Theyve really stepped up. Yeah, yeah. And i stepped up. Yeah, yeah. And i think prove themselves terrifically. But of course theres one very senior royal whos not around doing things and Prince Andrew and im afraid that will be the case for the future. But im hoping queen the future. But im hoping queen the queen gets a bit of a rest now. She deserves it, doesnt she . She deserves it, doesnt she . She really does deserve it. Another little line i love was the idea that the king has said to his age, you know, i want to actually your your point about being seen quite literally when hes in london. He wants to be in the car driving, you know, that nice stately speed they do. I think its about 22 miles an hounl i think its about 22 miles an hour, i believe in order that, you know, everybody. What was you know, everybody. What was that . The king . Oh, yes, it was. You know, thatd be nice, actually. Isnt that lovely of him to drive past me somewhere . Yeah. Well we loved it, didnt we, at the coronation . Oh, fantastic. Yeah. And he came by. That was one of the best moments it really was. And how lovely as well that he takes so much joy from being out and about amongst us. Yeah. Yeah. Well hes. Yeah, i, if you go back to the sort of 1990s and the days of i remember as a royal husband of Princess Diana and said it was said that she sort of taught the royal family this business about getting out and amongst people, you know, but i think hes always been quite good at that. If you go back even to his University Days and so on. And when he was in the navy, he was always , hes the navy, he was always, hes probably, like most of us, shy underneath. But actually hes been pretty good in public always. I mean, this is this is nothing new for him, no. Good on you, sir. Great to see you back. Great to see you back. Well, said, lovely nicholas. Well, said, lovely nicholas. Thank you very much indeed. Good to see you. Good to see you. Now, humza yousaf says he will not resign as scotlands first minister ahead of a crucial test of his leadership next week. He says that as a minority government, his party will need to make some concessions as it negotiates with other parties. All coming, of course, after the collapse of the snps power sharing deal with the greens. Sharing deal with the greens. But the first minister says he will fight on. I fully intend to not just win that vote, but i intend to fight to make sure that the government stays , not just the government stays, not just the government stays, not just the government continues to deliver on the priorities of the people like, for example, investing in affordable housing. So theres all that political game playing happening from the opposition. It will not be taking part. It will be getting, of course, on with the job. And when the vote comes, i fully intend to win. Well, joining us now is gb news Political Correspondent olivia utley. To good see you this morning, olivia. So humza yousaf we heard him there fighting talk yesterday. Do you think he can survive this though . Well, he says hes going to fight on, but in a way, i mean, its not really up to him. There will be this vote of no confidence next week. He is at the moment on a Charm Offensive , the moment on a Charm Offensive, trying to persuade either the green party, who he unceremoniously dumped from his coalition, or ash regan from the alba party, to support him. It is vital for him that he gets at least those two green msps or ash regan to support him, because in holyrood the snp are one seat short of a majority. So without the votes from those extra parties, he stands no chance of winning. Will he be chance of winning. Will he be able to get those votes . Well, hes reached out to the greens. The greens have pretty much rebuffed him in no uncertain terms. Meanwhile, ash regan has given a list of demands that she is intent on him fulfilling before he votes for her. And one of those fascinating is that scotland introduces all of the recommendations from the cass report, that report into, how children are treated in gender areas. And the ash, regan and areas. And the ash, regan and humza yousaf fell out big time over this. So it would be a huge concession if humza yousaf had to had to give her that. Hes not going to do it, is he . I cant see him doing it. I mean, i cant see otherwise how hell manage to win this vote of no confidence. It seems almost absurd that ash regan has this much power. Its sort of unbelievable karma for her. She was she feels she was sort of hounded out of the snp because of her disagreement with humza yousaf on these gender issues, and when she left the party, he said she was no great loss. So perhaps its not surprising that shes insisting on on pretty bold demands from him. Bold demands from him. Could he be prepared to lose the vote and refuse to go, which he i mean, he could do it. Well , i he i mean, he could do it. Well, i mean, thats a good point. The vote is non binding. He could cling on to his position. But of course, there is also this other vote thats going to be taking place, tabled by labour anas sarwar is tabling a vote of no confidence in the entire snp government. Now, its not clear what the all important greens would do if that vote were to go ahead, but they havent ruled out voting for no confidence in the snp government. So its possible that humza yousaf loses that vote of no confidence in himself, tries to cling on, and then theres a vote of no confidence in his government and that would be binding. He wouldnt have to resign immediately. The government wouldnt be dissolved immediately. Government wouldnt be dissolved immediately. But if government wouldnt be dissolved immediately. But if the government wouldnt be dissolved immediately. But if the snp couldnt find a new leader within 30 days, then he would go and there would be a holyrood election. So whichever way you look at it, its a pretty uncomfortable situation for humza yousaf. Well, that it is. It has backfired spectacularly, hasnt it . Speaking yesterday, he said he hadnt meant to upset or anger the greens. Do you think theres a bit of regret here from humza yousaf . I think there probably is. I mean , you know, you could argue mean, you know, you could argue that the relationship between the snp and the greens has been proved to be totally unworkable. It was a situation of the green tail wagging the snp dog. The green was sort of getting their tail wagging the snp dog. The way on everything, and lots of their policies did turn out to be unworkable. So you could say that humza yousaf had no choice but to end that coalition. That said, the way he handled it seemed to be pretty unfortunate. The greens were sort of given no notice. It was very unceremonious removal of them from his coalition. They had almost no notice that this was happening. Might things have been different if hed played his hand a little more gently, if hed sort of buttered them up, if hed made some sort of concessions to them, might things look a bit different . Things look a bit different . There are those saying that perhaps hes just a bit wet behind the ears , not a very behind the ears, not a very experienced politician. He should have known that it the green party would be pretty upset and angry about being dumped from his coalition. So, i mean, thats what i just find so, so odd about it. Obviously they didnt like being wagged by a two person snp tail in the two in the two greens, but he could end up being wagged by a one person alba tail. Well exactly. And thats whats so funny about all of this. And really , i about all of this. And really, i mean, of course its not funny for the people in scotland, but when youre looking at it from, from a sort of outsiders perspective, this, this implosion of the snp, which has happened so quickly is absolute bizarre. And ash regans demands are are , are bolder almost than are are, are bolder almost than anything that the snp has has proposed. And if, humza yousaf, proposed. And if, humza yousaf, who was fully behind that gender recognition act in scotland, which would have allowed people to change their gender with with just signing a piece of paper , just signing a piece of paper, ends up having to do a total u turn and implement the policies recommended in the cas report. I mean, youre absolutely right. It will be the alba Party Running the snp. Its extraordinary time, isnt it . Yeah. Olivia good to see you this morning. Thank you very much indeed. Its 7 16. Lets have a look at some of the other stories coming into the newsroom this morning. And the families of three men murdered in the reading terror attack are calling for urgent change after a coroner ruled that their deaths were probably avoidable. Friends james furlong, doctor david wales and Joseph Ritchie bennett were fatally stabbed in june 2020 when a libyan refugee targeted them in a town centre park. The coroner said failings by the home office and the local nhs, community Mental Health team contributed to their deaths, pupils being taught on the cheap, according to unison. It said pupils are missing out on essential support as teaching assistants are increasingly leading lessons and managing classes by themselves amid Teacher Shortages. Amid Teacher Shortages. And an Army Spokesperson has said that the military horses from londons household cavalry that bolted through london on wednesday morning are set to return to duty in due course. They said every one of the horses involved continues to be cared for and closely observed. All our horses receive the highest standards of care. Yeah. Plenty of you getting in touch. Still, this morning, on the snp thing , here we go. The snp thing, here we go. Catherine says its time for an election in the Scottish Parliament. The snp government, catherine says, has done a lot of damage to scotland in the first minister is out of his depth. Yeah. Terry says its time yeah. Terry says its time the snp allowed the people to have their say. Schools, nhs, local government and businesses are all suffering under the snp leadership or lack of it. He says. If youre i mean, if youre a supporter of the snp, id love to hear your perspective on that as well. You do want i mean, from again, from this outside perspective, you look at it and say, how is this not going to lead to early elections for the Scottish Parliament . Be a clean slate at least. But of course you can understand why the snp doesnt want to do that at the moment, because they probably wouldnt do very well. Well, no , do keep those views well, no, do keep those views coming in on that story or indeed anything else that were talking about today. Gbnews. Com yoursay shall we see what the weathers doing . Lets. Lets. Its raining. I think, but alex will tell us. Looks like things are heating up. Boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. Morning. We have some heavy , morning. We have some heavy, persistent rain arriving later today. Meaning tomorrow is going today. Meaning tomorrow is going to be pretty wet for some of us. However, before then, its a rather showery day for many of us today. First thing, we do have quite a bit of cloud across southern areas, and some outbreaks of showery rain pushing their way into parts of the midlands. More central parts as we go through the day across scotland, Northern Ireland. A touch of frost first thing this morning and then a scattering of showers developing as we head into the afternoon, and some of these could turn a little bit wintry over the higher ground. There will be some sunny spells around, but temperatures still a little bit below average for the time of year. Some places staying in single figures highs of around 14 or 15 celsius. Further south, some heavy rain then feeding into southern parts as we go through this evening. So a pretty wet end to the day here. And that rain then continuing to push further northwards overnight, feeding in across much of central southern england into some northern parts of england and perhaps into wales as well. First thing tomorrow morning, towards the northwest , though, some clearer northwest, though, some clearer skies. So again we could see a touch of frost. First thing. It touch of frost. First thing. It is going to be a wet start to the day across much of england and wales then tomorrow, but that rain , although will be that rain, although will be quite heavy and persistent for a time, is gradually going to clear its way northwards, could fringe into some eastern parts of scotland, but more western parts of scotland and Northern Ireland going to stay largely dry. And we should see some sunshine also breaking out across parts of west and wales and southwest england. Two temperatures similar to today but obviously feeling a bit more unpleasant when its going to be very wet. A brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on. Gb news.

Better than a walk in nature. Apparently listening to bird songs. So thats why were talking about doves. There you go. Anyway oh. There you go. Anyway oh. Thats embarrassing. Thats embarrassing. Oh, right. Lets tell you about a business in the West Midlands, which has been given a kings award for enterprise. Kings award for enterprise. This all happened at a ceremony yesterday. Yes. The award is the highest official uk honour for british businesses aiming to promote both small and large enterprises. West midlands reporterjack West Midlands reporter jack carson has the story for a business in the uk, its the highest accolade achievable and the West Midlands is not afraid to make its mark. At a ceremony at their factory in smethwick, the lord lieutenant of the West Midlands, sirjohn lord lieutenant of the West Midlands, sir John Crabtree obe, presented the team at remedy health with the prestigious kings award for enterprise in the innovation category. We recognise in the Outstanding Achievement of the said Award Recipient as demonstrated in the application of innovation in our United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Our Channel Islands and isle of man, wishing to show our royal favour, confer uponit to show our royal favour, confer upon it the kings award for enterprise innovation. The prize aims to reward both small and Large Businesses with an innovative product or service and recognise their contribution to enterprise. With last year being the first awarded by his majesty king charles. Remedy health and their nourished brand won the award for their 3d printed customisable nutritional gummies. The business has developed and innovated to be able to combine seven different active ingredients into one daily personalised stack. Customers can choose their favourite vitamins and supplements, and at their factory in birmingham, theyll 3d print the selection on demand. Award winning female entrepreneur Melissa Snover is the brains behind the business. She describes what it means to be honoured with the kings award for our business is really the highest honour that we could ever receive. Ever receive. We were really founded on the idea that innovation is going to be the single biggest factor in changing the world, and so you can imagine were all overwhelmed with pride. The nourish brand was only one of ten West Midlands winners out of the 262 rewarded in total , and the only winner in birmingham in the innovation category. But it isnt just category. But it isnt just about running a business. Melissa says shes passionate about the next generation of female entrepreneurs and works with by women, built a platform for female owned businesses less than 80 of young people can name a female entrepreneur , and name a female entrepreneur, and thatis name a female entrepreneur, and that is something that were really committed to changing the narrative on at bwb. I think you cant be it if you cant see it. And so myself and the other women involved in that cause are really trying to raise the profile of female entrepreneurs and make sure that young people are seeing them at the beginning of their career, where theyre starting to think about what will i be having launched in 2019, this business has already had to navigate a pandemic and high inflation. But with its kings award for enterprise proudly on display, their future has the royal seal of approval. Jack carson gb news smethwick. Smethwick. Oh, fabulous isnt it . Were heanng oh, fabulous isnt it . Were hearing all this great news about the king. Yeah, its really positive at the moment and the fact i just think its very good if you can meet a lord lieutenant. Meet a lord lieutenant. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. We had one in dartford on tuesday. A lord lieutenant. Tuesday. A lord lieutenant. Lady, i want to say karigan. Oh. Lady, i want to say karigan. Oh. Who was there, but representatives of his majesty. Its really nice. Its really nice. She was lovely, actually. She was lovely, actually. She was lovely, actually. Oh. Thats lovely. Oh. Thats lovely. There you go. There you go. Oh, youre not forgetting dartford soon, are you . Im not such a lovely day. Im not such a lovely day. Its ingrained in my mind. Its ingrained in my mind. Oh, its our day in dartford. Oh, its our day in dartford. It was very special. Its it was very special. Its nice to be out. It felt like a school trip. Yeah. Lovely. And if you were lovely. And if you were there, it was great to see. We met loads of people. Met loads of people. Oh yeah. It was endless, wasnt it . An endless stream of love. I dont know how to respond to that. It was, wasnt it . It was, wasnt it . This all sounds wrong. This all sounds wrong. This all sounds wrong. Well, it does a bit, but it wasnt. It was lovely. It was lovely. Right. It was lovely. Right. Adrians going to have all your sports news. Thats in just a couple of minutes i welcome back. Welcome back. Its sports time now with aidan magee. Morning to you, aidan. Good morning to you both. Good morning to you both. And the slot has been filled. And the slot has been filled. Fantastic. Yeah, its been the slot has been filled by slot. Exactly. Im not convinced he was ever the first choice, because i think xabi alonso was probably the preferred target. Hes the next liverpool player and hes won the eredivisie with sorry, not the eredivisie. The bundesliga, of course, with bayer leverkusen, ellies favourite team. Yeah. So look , favourite team. Yeah. So look, theyve moved last night. We got some information yesterday from various sources that liverpool had agreed. A package £7. 7 had agreed. A package £7. 7 million up front, with a possible 1. 7 in add ons. Now, its interesting because that sounds that sounds like a football transfer and thats the amount thats the amount that i mean, its not the amount that its a bit lower than what you pay its a bit lower than what you pay for a player, but its very rare that you pay substantial compensation for a manager, mainly because theyre here today and gone tomorrow. Theyre very kind of transitory. At least with a player, theres a chance you might keep them for 3 or 4 years to prove themselves, but nonetheless they look to have got the deal done. If we look at his credentials for the job, he won the League Last Season and i suppose youll say to me, well, feyenoord are a big club in holland, but theyve only won at once in the previous 25 years. So he initiated a culture change there, which meant that they could overcome psv and ajax , who tend to be the psv and ajax, who tend to be the dominant sides over in holland. They like his style of play. They like his style of play. They believe he can develop players , and developing players players, and developing players is extremely important, even for a rich club like liverpool, because why pay £100 million for a player when you can get them at an earlier stage and develop and develop them later on . So in terms of his personality, its one of those clubs where the big six need big personalities. Thats why i think erik ten hag hasnt really succeeded at manchester united. Im not sure youre not big enough. I dont youre not big enough. I dont think hes its personality. Just in press conferences , he doesnt in press conferences, he doesnt come across as the Big Personality. Youre youre ahead of a huge organisation. These are global organisations , are global organisations, especially liverpool and manchester united. The other problem would be how well do dutch imports translate to the premier league. Weve seen some excellent players and some very poor players with big reputations come to england and failed. Likewise with management. Weve seen erik ten hag. Weve seen erik ten hag largely fail at manchester united. Im not sure hell be there next season. Ronald koeman back in the day as well when he went to everton, couldnt quite cut it. So the jury will be out on a slot but hell fit right in because hes bald as a coot. Well he. Is. Well he. Is. Well he. Is. This is fantastic. Weve got a picture actually here because it means that as things stand, assuming erik ten hag keeps his job, were going to be hero to hero to zero. No, hero to zero. Hair today. Gone tomorrow. Oh, thats what youre looking for. Oh, look at them all. There they are. There they are. So top left. For the benefit of our radio listeners, weve got Pep Guardiola at Manchester City. Weve got arne slot whove been discussing right, whos discussing top right, whos taking at liverpool. Bottom taking over at liverpool. Bottom left sean dyche, everton and bottom right erik ten hag, who i fear might not be there. He might break up that little, that bald cartel , might break up that little, that bald cartel, but it might break up that little, that bald cartel , but it looks like bald cartel, but it looks like thats going to be the case. Possibly at the start of next season. I dont know what it is about, about these bald managers. It means that, i dont know, maybe theres something maybe, maybe the information stays in their head a bit a bit better. They can impart it onto the players. I dont know, i dont know. Oh, they all look good on it. Oh, they all look good on it. Did you just go off and make the montage . Somebody else did. Somebody else did. Somebody else did. A friend of mine. A friend of mine. Very skilled. Very skilled. Im not going to credit him. No, because hes taken a lot of my stuff down, mind you, lets talk about Leicester City back in the premier League Without even touching a football. Without doubt. Well, all the action happened at loftus road, just down the road from here. I was there watching my beloved queens park rangers. Now qpr did need a point just to be absolutely sure. Of staying up absolutely sure. Of staying up in the championship, but leeds united need at least a point and you can see me at the game last night. Thats me just celebrating on the just up above the on the terrace, up above the pitch. I dont know if you can see that on the, not on the radio. You cant. You cant. No no no no. But thats my i was going to wear that outfit into work this morning, but i thought youd take the mickey out of me. Yeah, we would. You. You think ive come straight from there to here . Yeah. Basically yeah. Basically but i was worried that the qpr would be on the beach, if you like. Not really much to do. They wouldnt really put up much of a fight against leeds, but i was completely wrong because leeds only need a point to stay in the hunt for promotion. And then qpr absolutely brushed them aside by four goals to nil, two goals in each half. Leeds didnt offer much of a resistance actually, and i think partly steven, if were going to look at things in a really balanced way. They went to middlesbrough on monday. Way. They went to middlesbrough on monday. Big fixture. They won four three. That takes a lot out of you. Middlesbrough are a decent side. Theyre on the road again coming to london. I mean they must have had about another 2500 fans there last night. Leeds its a its a lot of travelling. Its a big undertaking at this stage of the season. Dont forget in the championship you play 46 games. Thats eight matches more than they play in the premier league and they look leggy. Last night they looked weary and because of that Leicester City got promotion. They had a real stumble about a month ago, but they really pulled it out of the bag in the last couple of games and got themselves over the line owing in no small parts of the fact that leeds failed to win last night. Ipswich in action tonight away to hull city. They have to get five points in their remaining three games to get automatic promotion. If they got promoted, given they dont have any parachute money from being in the premier league recently , in the premier league recently, that would be an extraordinary story. Leeds, therefore, would be in the play offs and you dont want to be in the playoffs when youve just suffered the heartache of not getting up automatically. Okay, aiden, were out of time, but well catch up with you a little bit later. Thank you a little bit later. Thank you very much indeed. Now do you stay with us . Well be going through the papers next with susan holder and emma woolf. Welcome back. Were going through the papers now with the columnist and journalist, emma woolf. And author and journalist susan holder. Very good to see you both this morning, emma. You both this morning, emma. Lets start with you, shall we . And the warning is stop vaping if you want. Children. Yeah. So this is a really interesting study , a very big interesting study, a very big study of women in their 20s and 30s who may be wanting to have children , looking at the effects children, looking at the effects of vaping basically on your fertility. And obviously we talk fertility. And obviously we talk a lot about, you know, not smoking , not drinking, not doing smoking, not drinking, not doing drugs, kind of getting yourself in shape before you have children. All of that vaping i think we know less about we know less about the general effect of vaping. And it does seem to have a not very good effect, maybe even suppressing this hormone called amh, which is the anti mullerian hormone , which is anti mullerian hormone, which is anti mullerian hormone, which is an indicator of your fertility. Its an indicator of your ovarian reserve, and so obviously, you know, correlation and causation, they cant make the link immediately. But it does seem that vaping isnt particularly good for your fertility, and its sort of wide ranging study. It was 325,000 women. I think it was, and, you know, a lot of i mean, it was done by a Womens Health firm called hostility. But it obviously it just highlights the fact that things like smoking, things like alcohol and all of those lifestyle factors , those lifestyle factors, unfortunately, are not great for your for your fertility and that women need to think about these things, whats quite interesting in the article as well was it said that people tend women do tend to go kind of a bit mad just before they get pregnant and kind of do a lot of socialising , and kind of do a lot of socialising, going out drinking, because they know that once they perhaps have a baby and start a family, they cant do that. Or maybe thats how they end up pregnant, i dont know, but its also interesting. It doesnt say anything about vaping and men. How does it affect sperm count . How does it affect sperm count . I mean, it does. There are two people. It does tend to kind of involve making a baby. Its putting an awful lot of kind of onus on the women to get themselves healthy and get themselves healthy and get themselves doing this. And a really interesting to know that whether whether actually the vaping does anything to men, it does. It does. Exactly. And smoking and alcohol are really not good for. Well, we dont want to have a go at man over that because, male fertility is dropping like a stone anyway at the minute. Yeah. And i think theres lots of factors involved. I think theres a lot of funny hormones and drugs and things in, in, in water and in food and things like that because people started taking so much. You want to have children. The word get in shape, basically dont eat or drink anything. Oh no, dont even water very very bad. Avoid it or not do anything anymore , susan. Yes, the great, anymore, susan. Yes, the great, the most amazing. Peter kay, the most amazing. Peter kay, i love them. You love peter kay. You love peter kay. We all love peter. We all love peter. We all love peter. Hes having a swipe at a manchester venue. Well, hes meant to be opening the new the brand new £365 million arena in manchester, and its been put back. So if people have got tickets and were hoping to see peter kay in the next couple of days, its been put back another month. So there are issues with this arena and the issues are to do with safety and capacity and the electrics and everything else. They had a they had a test run. I think rick astley did a gig run. I think rick astley did a gig. I did, yeah. And that went. But they reduced the capacity and that was the test run. But the test run hasnt gone well and theyre still working on it. So yeah , i just feel so sorry so yeah, i just feel so sorry for anyone whos got pete obviously getting peter kay tickets are the best of times is like getting, you know, a Golden Ticket to the willy wonka factory. And unfortunately, if youve got them and youve made your arrangements and youve got your arrangements and youve got your travel and you booked your hotel , well, what a disaster for hotel, well, what a disaster for people that theyre going to have to theyre going to have to rebook again. I feel sorry for anyone whos got peter kay tickets. I think stand up comedy is the worst thing in the world. I would pay, i know, i know, everybody will hate me and everybody will disagree. But its peter kay. But its peter kay. I literally take me to a stand up comedy night and i would anybody funny. I dont would anybody funny. I dont want comedy like that. Funny things are funny that happen. Or things are funny that happen. Or funny funny conversations or just events in life. Someone standing up and telling jokes and being funny. There is a really funny makes me want to just literally cringe. You you not fun. I cant bear it. Oh ive never because you feel it before. Ive never heard that before. Well my i was going to say my daughter emily, well my daughter in law to be my son is getting married this summer and his, his girlfriend is a stand up comedian. She, she works on the on the london circuit. Shes hilarious. Shes called beth fox and shes brilliant. Find her on instagram, but i understand what you mean. A bad comedy gig when you mean. A bad comedy gig when youre there live is very awkward. And difficult. I mean, awkward. And difficult. I mean, if you dont like it on the television, you just switch it off. And if youre in the room and somebody is not going down, well, this never happens to beth. Shes always funny, but to not like any comedians is victoria wood. Does that not do anything for you . No. Absolutely not, billy connolly. Its not that i dislike them. I just the idea of going to stand up comedy really just makes me want to just eat my. You must have had. I think you must have had a bad experience somewhere in your just. No, its just not in my, you know, live music. Absolutely, absolutely. I you know, were absolutely. I you know, were all wired differently. Were all wired differently, arent we . Well, some people love the theatre. Some people love musicals, some people love opera. I love all that. But i dont want to go to a stand up comedy gig. Gig even the thought of it. Oh, yeah. No peter kay, though i tell you, i tell you i have a bad word said about peter kay. Hes one of the funniest men alive. But ill tell you what id be really annoyed if i was the co op. Its called the Manchester Co op live, this venue. So i mean , how much have venue. So i mean, how much have they paid for the sponsorship of this and all theyre getting at the minute is negative publicity, but good. Im glad that theyre really going through all the safety stuff. And you know, theyre obviously being cautious. And obviously being cautious. And weve seen issues with safety and with overcrowding or whatever it is capacity. And i think in a way, a couple of months delay is probably in the end will be a good thing. Itll be and peter will be all the more brilliant when he gets to kind of do it. And peter, i have to say, ive met peter, i have to say, ive met peter a few times. Hes hes hes funny off kind of stage. Hes just a naturally very funny person. He just makes you just laugh all the time. Hes amazing. Hes your ears pricked up then i did. Yeah. Youd love to meet peter kay. Well, ill tell you what. Lets all get healthy this morning. Emma should we . And have, an m s pasta salad . This is hilarious. Its a this is a 750 calorie cheeseburger pasta salad from m s. Now. No im not criticising m s, but this is huge. This has more calories in it than a big mac. More fat in it than a big mac. It contains look very big. It contains look very big. Its called the viva summer. Yeah, exactly. It looks like a salad, but its the cheeseburger salad. Does it look like a salad . I cant see anything. I mean, it looks like it might be a pot of pasta. Salad is what i mean. It doesnt look like it carries that much of a punch. It contains meatballs , punch. It contains meatballs, cheese and burger sauce. And, yeah, as i say, 33g of fat, and massa had a few. Theyve had a bit of criticism recently for charging people £6 for a posh 999 charging people £6 for a posh egg and cress sandwich and all of that, but its more calories than a mcdonalds triple cheeseburger. Yeah , and more calories. Yeah, and more calories. Yeah, and more calories. More fat than a big mac. I mean, this really is. And almost double. Im almost double the amount. Thats what i mean. It doesnt look particularly. You have to read your food labels, but the label is quite clear. It says cheeseburger and pasta, if youre reaching for the salad in your hand, wanders to the cheeseburger pasta, then youre making a mistake, but suzanne , its in the pasta suzanne, its in the pasta range, so maybe people are thinking its. But but m s have said its a limited Edition Summer treat. Summer treat. Well, yes, but youre better off with a cheeseburger. Off with a cheeseburger. Its like when people when you get these things saying, oh, somethings fat free, or then it tends to be full of sugar. Full of sugar. Full of sugar. Yeah. If its sugar free, it tends to be full of fat. Yeah. I mean, things that are promoted as healthy often arent exactly, exactly. Exactly. I do think this thing probably needs a warning, though, because that is a lot of its a lot of a sort of daily, daily calorie intake. Its probably over half of a daily. Id like to know how how theyve got someone to agree that the word salad could even be on there, because i cant see anything in the ingredients other than that its cold, which doesnt not cold food doesnt mean its a salad, does it . No, it reminds you of a few years ago, a neighbour of mine was showing me her. She loved having, the it was an m s , rice having, the it was an m s, rice pudding thing. And, you know , a pudding thing. And, you know, a fancy rice pudding, but it was only like a portion for they say , for two. But you know, when i looked at it, it was 4000. Yeah. And rice pudding sounds fairly, you know, sugar sounds fairly, you know, sugar sounds fairly healthy , doesnt it. Fairly healthy, doesnt it. And she was eating the two person portion as a one. Of course. Yeah of course. Yeah do you think that there should be some responsibility on these high street shops though to i mean, when you are offering products that are a persons daily calorie allowance , that daily calorie allowance, that perhaps it comes with some sort of warning. Well, im not really into kind of i think that counting calories and fat makes people a little bit, you know, obsessive and worried and anxious about all that. But then again, people do need to keep account of this. And i know that if youre trying to lose weight, it can be really, really healthy. I think Something Like that, to be fair, its not a salad. Youre absolutely right. Its not a salad and it probably shouldnt be in that range if youre doing it once in a while. Just need a cheeseburger. Just need a cheeseburger. Yeah, yeah yeah. Had to have a cheeseburger. Yeah, can we have a look at. I love this susan in the sun, i love chimaera. Yeah, well, isnt that weve got the picture of it. It is incredible. Now, i confession not a particular cat person , but not a particular cat person, but this one is a very, very special cat. Its called chimaera because its like two things blended together. And theyre saying the headline is kattenberg because it looks like a battenberg cake. Yes. Its a battenberg cake. Yes. Its also got beautifully one orange and one blue eye bit david bowie ish , yeah. So its a cat that ish, yeah. So its a cat that somebody adopted from a cattery in belgium, and its called domino. And it is. Domino. And it is. Oh. Is it . What a surprise. Oh. Is it . What a surprise. Have we put the picture up . Have we put the picture up . No we havent. If you hold up, you hold it up and you get the camera because you need to see that beautiful cat. See that beautiful cat. If you dont like cats, but you do like battenberg. Also, you do like battenberg. Also, you might look at that. Its incredible. Beautiful. Beautiful. So does it look like a battenberg cake . Is it link. Battenberg cake . Is it link. Yeah, it does with the little square in different squares and the owner says that people think its a, its got a huge instagram following that they think shes kind of done some painted it or done something trickery with, with, you know, computer generated. But that is naturally how the cat its kind of two cells fusing together and thats what comes out a chimaera cat. Very unusual. But she got it from a cattery. So yeah. Wow. Thats beautiful. Thank you. You too. Beautiful. Thank you. You too. Time. Thank you very much. Well take a look at the weather for you. Now that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers, sponsors of weather on gb news. Morning. We have some heavy, persistent rain arriving later today. Meaning tomorrow is going today. Meaning tomorrow is going to be pretty wet for some of us. However, before then, its a rather showery day for many of us today. First thing, we do have quite a bit of cloud across southern areas and some outbreaks of showery rain pushing their way into parts of the midlands. More central parts as we go through the day across scotland, Northern Ireland. A touch of frost first thing this morning and then a scattering of showers developing as we head into the afternoon, and some of these could turn a little bit wintry over the higher ground. There will be some sunny spells around, but temperatures still a little bit below average for the time of year. Some places time of year. Some places staying in single figures highs of around 14 or 15 celsius. Further south, some heavy rain then feeding into southern parts as we go through this evening. So a pretty wet end to the day here. And that rain then continuing to push further northwards overnight, feeding in across much of central southern england into some northern parts of england and perhaps into wales as well. First thing tomorrow morning, towards the northwest , though, some clearer northwest, though, some clearer skies. So again we could see a touch of frost. First thing. It touch of frost. First thing. It is going to be a wet start to the day across much of england and wales then tomorrow. But that rain, although will be quite heavy and persistent for a time, is gradually going to clear its way northwards, could fringe into some eastern parts of scotland , but more western of scotland, but more western parts of scotland and Northern Ireland going to stay largely dry. And we should see some sunshine also breaking out across parts of west and wales and southwest england. Two temperatures similar to today but obviously feeling a bit more unpleasant when its going to be very wet. Humza yousaf faces political chaos. Scotlands first minister has insisted he will not resign. Thats despite facing a vote of no confidence in his leadership. Humza yousaf is clinging on by the tips of his fingers.

Now the king is set to return to public duties on tuesday following successful Cancer Treatment. Treatment. Palace spokesperson has said king charles greatly encouraged to be resuming some public facing engagements and very grateful to his medical team. Well, people have sent their best wishes, including the Prime Minister, rishi sunak, who simply said on x brilliant news to end the week and the labour leader, sir keir starmer said delighted to see his majesty looking so well, i wish him and the princess of wales the very best as they continue their recovery with the support of their families. Well, were now joined by former royal correspondent for the sun newspaper, charles rea. Very good to see you this morning , charles. Very good to morning, charles. Very good to see king charles as well in that photograph. What a relief to hear that hes going to be returning to public duties. It is absolutely fantastic news. And that is a brilliant photograph by millie pilkington. Photograph by millie pilkington. I mean, it just summed up the whole day , of the great news whole day, of the great news that he has had. Hes not out of the woods yet, and hes not pretending to be out of the woods, but his treatment is going so well that he is coming back into public duties. Hes going to be meeting people, you know, public facing people and everything else. And theres a whole list of events that are coming up throughout the year as, he may not do all of them. It will very much depend on his doctors advice. But two things that are on the cards are very lengthy trips to samoa for the government, heads of state and also, australia. So its, you also, australia. So its, you know, hes got a lot of plans going on. You necessarily think, charles, its the right thing and will it will he be pressured into this . I mean obviously we want we want to see him back. Its you know, its very positive in one respect. We wouldnt want him to feel obuged wouldnt want him to feel obliged to come back before hes ready. No, i suspect that he is the driving force, the to come back. I mean, hes not a man. As Nichi Hodgson said earlier on today, who just sits around in his pipe and slippers. He does, he is a very hard working man, and he gets up very early and goes to bed very late at night. And im sure that camilla has been making sure that he has been resting as much as possible, but i suspect he is the driving force about getting back to what he is loathed not having to do the things that , you know, a the things that, you know, a king should do, but i think his doctors, i think he is listening to his doctors. I hope hes listening to his doctors. And im sure that they are giving him the right advice. And they will look at each individual event that crops up and will say to him, we think you could do this and maybe just take this one easy. Well, itll itll depend on that advice. It might be the case of one thing at a time. Charles, what does this mean for the wider family as well . Because we know the slimmed down monarchy , that the slimmed down monarchy, that this has been a very challenging time for the family, especially for Prince William, who obviously has his own thing to deal with, doesnt he . With with his wife also, battling with cancer. His wife also, battling with cancer. What do you think this cancer. What do you think this means for Prince William and also Queen Camilla, whos really had to step up to the plate . Well, itll be a slight relief because the king will be able to do some of the duties that they had. They had been taking on, and so its great that hes back and more importantly, i think will be waiting as well with bated breath really to in the hope that we hear some great news about the princess of wales and her battle, but i think , you her battle, but i think, you know, the family, is coming back together again. They will they will cope quite amazingly as they have done and they will continue to do so. I mean, the fact that the slimmed down is, is a natural thing. Thats thats happened. You know, harry in montecito , youve got andrew in montecito, youve got andrew clearly who cant do anything else. But people like the duke and duchess of edinburgh have stepped up to the plate and helped out. Obviously, princess anne, the royal workhorse, shes been doing all the all the stuff that she normally does and a bit more. So yeah, no, no, theyre in fine fettle in terms of pubuc in fine fettle in terms of public reaction to this and the pubuc public reaction to this and the public support theres been whilst whilst weve known hes been ill, what does that do for him. Does he really take that on board. Oh absolutely. Oh absolutely. I mean he has been i mean hes had thousands of get well soon cards and hes been reading most of them and looking at them. And we know hes taken a tremendous, you know, fillip that that these people have taken the time in trouble, to send, you know, actual cards to go on twitter to go on the social media and wish them all the best. And i think that is one of the great things , that one of the great things, that has helped, him his recovery. Has helped, him his recovery. Vie and the other thing as well, youve got to remember as well, the fact that he is produced this news, this great news, gives hope to so many other cancer sufferers as well as as it did when he first announced in february that he has got cancen in february that he has got cancer. And we know that the very first thing hes going to do is on tuesday. Hes going to a Cancer Treatment centre where hes going to be meeting medics and, you know , people who are and, you know, people who are being treated for cancer. Again, this will be this will be great for people who are suffering from this dreadful disease, well, i was going to ask you about that trip , actually, about that trip, actually, because if anything, that is just a continuation of really what an amazing job the king has donein what an amazing job the king has done in his openness with his treatment and how beneficial it is for awareness and for other people suffering with the disease. Disease. Yes, we know that when he first announced his cancer , the, first announced his cancer, the, Cancer Charities saw a great rise in a number of people who were contacting them and, and also people who were getting checked by their doctors and hospitals and so forth. So all this is to the good. And this is the great thing about you know, the great thing about you know, the royal family, when they do things like this, it helps people, it helps members of the public. And i think one of you said earlier on that this is the great way to end, you know, a week with a fantastic news and long may it continue. Yeah. Well charles, really good to see you this morning. And its lovely that the nation are behind him. So many, well wishes. Oh, cant say that anymore, can we . Good wishes. Good wishes. Good wishes. Good wishes, wishes, best wishes coming in from loads of you and actually from around the world. Kimberly leonard is in kenya this morning sending her best to the king. I mean, its just loads of people watching and paying attention and just hoping for the very best for the king. Oh its lovely. And we do as well, dont we . And we do as well, dont we . We do. We do. Of course we do. Sending our best wishes this morning. Now humza yousaf says he will not resign as scotlands first minister. Its ahead of a crucial test of his leadership next week. He says that as a minority government, his party will need to make some concessions as it negotiates with other parties. Its after the collapse of the snps power sharing deal with the greens yesterday. Humza yousaf says hell fight on. I fully intend to, not just win that vote, but i intend to fight to make sure that the government stays, not just the government stays, not just the government continues to deliver on the priorities of the people, like, for example, investing in affordable housing. So theres all that political game playing happening from the opposition. It will not be taking part. It will be getting, of course, on with the job. And when the vote comes, i fully intend to win. Well, joining us now is gb news Political Correspondent olivia utley. Good to see you this morning, olivia. And fighting talk there from the first minister. Absolutely fighting talk. But the idea that hell just have to make some concessions, i would say is a bit of an understatement. The greens are absolutely furious, as we know, with the unceremonious way in which humza yousaf ended that coalition now douglas ross, the leader of the scottish conservatives, has tabled this vote of no confidence in humza yousaf, the snp is one seat short of a majority in holyrood, which means that to win this vote of no confidence, humza yousaf will need the support of at least one, probably two msps from other parties. Now hes trying to butter up the greens, but perhaps unsurprisingly , theyve perhaps unsurprisingly, theyve said that they will vote against him in the vote of no confidence. His other potential hope is ash regan, who is the only alba party msp. Alba is the breakaway scottish nationalist party. Unfortunately for humza yousaf, he fell out big time with ash regan a couple of years ago when they disagreed over trans rights and she ended up leaving the party when and he said that she was no great loss. Well, now she could be the person who makes or breaks his political future career. This vote of confidence will happen next week. Humza yousaf, between now and then will be on the on the Charm Offensive. Both to the greens and to ash regan because unfortunately for him , everyone unfortunately for him, everyone else in holyrood has come down on him like a ton of bricks. Laboun on him like a ton of bricks. Labour, the lib dems and the conservatives all saying variations of well, the snp are clowns. We need to end this farce. If he does survive that vote of no confidence next week, if he manages to get probably ash regan on side , his political ash regan on side, his political future is still very, very uncertain. Its going to be uncertain. Its going to be really, really tough for him. Governing as a minority government in holyrood, and its quite possible that he ends up just not being able to get any policies over the line just becomes impossible for him to govern. What if he doesnt win . What if he doesnt win . What if he doesnt win . If he doesnt win, well, the vote wouldnt be legally binding, so he wouldnt actually have to stand down. And perhaps what he was saying yesterday was an indication that he may try and not stand down, but it would be pretty difficult for him politically to remain in that post after holyrood had voted no confidence in him. And, you know, you could end up in a situation like theresa may found herself in at the end of the brexit days, where she was she she was the leader, but she was sort of leader in name only because every time she tried to get one of her flagship policies over the line , there was a hold over the line, there was a hold up in parliament and she just wasnt able to. There was a blockage and i think thats what humza yousaf can expect. Whether humza yousaf can expect. Whether or not he wins that vote of confidence next week, hes just going to really, really struggle to actually govern. At which point his leadership may become untenable. Okay. Olivia utley, good to see you this morning. Thank you very much indeed. Now the governments going to begin physical checks at the border on medium risk and high risk goods coming into the uk at the end of the month. Yes. The final major change will come in october, though, with the government requiring safety and security declarations whilst also introducing a single trade window aiming to reduce the number of forms needed for importers , well, its all very importers, well, its all very confusing. Presumably thats coming into Northern Ireland from the irish border. Meanwhile, in ireland , goods meanwhile, in ireland, goods coming in that direction are going to be checked after october this year. Well joining us now is gb news Northern Ireland reporter dougie beattie. Good to see you this morning dougie. It all sounds very complicated. Do tell us more. Us more. Us more. Yes it is very complicated in fact we were reporting from Northern Ireland on it is because for the last three years we have put up with it exactly those sort of systems. Now the British Government has said these checks for european goods coming into the uk is for veterinary safety, food safety , veterinary safety, food safety, food standards, which is totally understandable. But we of course understandable. But we of course have border checks coming from britain into this part of the uk, because we are held inside european regulations now , i european regulations now, i cant tell you that we had Northern Ireland had asked for trusted trader status as the deal that would put that through, and we were told it would not work. Technically it would not work. Technically it would not work. And therefore europe went against it and we ended up with trader support services. Now the problem really gets to when you decide. To gets to when you decide. To start filling in more forms, you go down the route of light, touch. What happens is the bureaucracy around that accelerates and keeps on going, and you end up with mountains and you end up with mountains and mountains of paperwork, which then stops the flow of goods coming in the regularity of those flow of goods. And of course, it adds to the price and the cost of the goods that are coming to your shelves now , that coming to your shelves now, that is a natural outworking of brexit. And thats why im standing here. This is Customs House in belfast. Customs. House in belfast. Customs. House square and back in the day, all goods coming into this part of the world would face the customs charges and checks here before going into the markets. So britain, now that they have pulled out of the eu, they are no longer following eu regulation and legislation. And as that divergence continues to go on, what britain is really looking at is stopping trade or food that is not just up to their standard coming from a third country, but thats slightly ironic because both europe and britain take food from outside the eu. So argentina brazil supply much of the beef that comes into europe and that is put into ready meals. And that is really what theyll be looking at. So what britain now will be looking at is checks on things such as pizzas that has meat from Foreign Countries such as ready meals and hi hi that gets into our retail system will be crucial. And what will really crucial. And what will really light the touch paper on this is how much bureaucracy will come in on that as it comes into britain. And of course in Northern Ireland, it brought down a government. That government was put back up again by the promise that goods from this part of the uk would be able to travel in to britain unfettered. And go straight in unfettered. And go straight in without those customs checks and thats why i have been watching this and seeing is this deal all that was sold to Northern Ireland . Because if our goods from Northern Ireland, this part of the uk are amongst those customs checks going in to britain, well then the deal. Well it wasnt the deal that was sold. So we now have to look sold. So we now have to look further down the road to the sist further down the road to the 31st of october, when really. 31st of october, when really. These customs get into full flow for goods coming in from the eu into britain and from the rest of the world this morning. Thanks very much indeed. Thanks very much indeed. Now, at 8 18, lets take a look at the weather for you now with alex burkill. That warm feeling inside from boxt boilers , sponsors of boxt boilers, sponsors of weather on. Gb news. Weather on. Gb news. This morning we have some heavy, persistent rain arriving later today, meaning tomorrow is going to be pretty wet for some of us. However, before then, its a rather showery day for many of us today. First thing, we do have quite a bit of cloud across southern areas, and some outbreaks of showery rain pushing their way into parts of the midlands. More central parts as we go through the day across scotland, Northern Ireland. A touch of frost. First thing this morning and then a scattering of showers developing as we head into the afternoon, and some of these could turn a little bit wintry over the higher ground. There will be some sunny spells around, but temperatures still a little bit below average for the time of year. Some places staying in single figures highs of around 14 or 15 celsius. Further south, some heavy rain then feeding into southern parts as we go through this evening. So a pretty wet end to the day here and that rain. Then continuing to push further northwards overnight, feeding in across much of central southern england into some northern parts of england and perhaps into wales as well. First thing tomorrow morning, towards the northwest, though, some clearer skies. So again we could see a touch of frost. First thing it is going to be a wet start to the day across much of england, and wales then tomorrow. But that rain, although will be quite heavy and persistent for a time, is gradually going to clear its way northwards could fringe into some eastern parts of scotland, but more western parts of scotland and Northern Ireland going to stay largely dry. And we should see some sunshine also breaking out across parts of west and wales and southwest england. Two temperatures similar to today , temperatures similar to today, but obviously feeling a bit more unpleasant when its going to be very wet.

Now still to come, aidan is going to be here with all of your sports news. Thats. Next. News. Thats. Next. 2024 a battleground year, the year the nation decides as the parties gear up their campaigns for the next general election. Who will be left standing when the british people make one of the biggest decisions of their lives . Who will rise and who will fall . Lets find out together. Lets find out together. For every moment. The highs, the lows, the twists and turns, well be with you for every step of this journey. In 2024. Gb news is britains election channel. Its ruined your tea coming out of that break. Im just going in for a sick going in. Never mind to miss it. Never mind. Its all worth it. Because aidan magee zigi aidan magee mcginn renaming u aidan magee. There has been. Yeah, yeah, look, what should we talk about . What do you want to go with first . I think we should just touch on leicester, actually, because i was at the game last night which saw them get promoted. And even though they werent playing in that game, they werent playing. Didnt kick a ball. So nice. Nice work. If you can get it, get promotion, get all that adulation without even touching adulation without even touching a football on a blade of grass. Well, look, theyve had a tough season in many ways. They were leading it, leading by 12 points back in january. That lead got whittled away and they had a really rough patch phase of about six matches where they lost four and drew one, and they turned it around with some big results, including a five nil win over southampton just last week. Now leeds needed to go to loftus road, just down the road from here, home of queens park rangers, and get at least a point to keep themselves in contention for automatic promotion. Steven and they were blown away four nil. Somebody said to me, a good friend of mine in hospitality said to me last night, what are qpr going to do tonight . Aidan you know. And i said, look, i hope we just give a good account of ourselves. I hope our minds arent on the beach. Well, they proved me wrong because they needed a point just to guarantee survival. And as i say, they brushed leeds united aside. They look fatigued. Actually, leeds, they went to middlesbrough on monday, had a very emotional, highly charged game against a semi rival in middlesbrough, i suppose you could say. Used to be your part of yorkshire, middlesbrough isnt it. And so they won four three and then a few days later they happen to come down to london and as i say they got absolutely hammered last night. But leicester it means a promoted automatically a big boost as well for ipswich town because theyre in the running. They need five points from the last three games they travel to hold this evening at 8 00 and a decent side. I know that because they beat qpr the other week and so a big job for them tonight at the kc, but if they can do that they take a huge step towards promotion. And for them, given that they dont have any parachute money, theyve not been in the premier league since 2002. It would be a huge, huge fillip for them. Yeah, it would be, would be. Yeah, it would be, would be. What else have you got for us, well, i think we should mention liverpool and arne slot. It looks like were going with ana because were going. Yes. We didnt know whether it was arnie. Arne. Well if its arnie, if its arnie, i suppose if he gets sacked, he can always say ill be back only. Oh, this is true. Very good. So we think its arne. Ana ana, ana. Arne slot. Yeah, yeah. Arne slot. Yeah, yeah. Look, hes were not sure. Are we really . Were not sure. Were fine. Well find out. I remember when Arsene Wenger got the arsenal job back in 1996, and he was universally known for about a week as Arsene Wenger. And it was only when he corrected it in a press conference he said, my name, my name is arsene. I dont know why i said it in a russian accent, but well, there you go. But but no, listen, he. Arne slot is somebody who has developed a bit of pedigree in feyenoord. I know you probably say to me, look, fine, order a big club in holland. They should be winning trophies anyway. But actually, before they won the league under him last season, they dont. They won it just once in 24 years. So he brought about a change of culture there. Liverpool are attracted by the fact that he has developed players. He has a proven track record of that. Hes a Big Personality and you do need to be a Big Personality to manage any premier league club these days, even in the top two divisions, but particularly in those big juggernaut clubs in the top six, you need to have something about you. Theres also the issue about some some players and managers come from holland and do very well, some dont. Theres a big, big gap between the two, well, the two, the two countries in terms of their football culture now its much smaller back in the day, but the premier league is streaked ahead just because of the money involved. And you know, its a jurgen klopp said yesterday look im happy for this. Hes hes he looks like a good fit. And he said that actually hes coming in with something to improve. Hes acknowledged the fact that jurgen klopp that hes not finished the season very well and a bit like leeds last night, the tires have been let down on their party bus or their farewell tour and they show thats what theyve been saying. And so theyre going to end up with nothing. Theyre in action today though, against west ham, liverpool. This is and i think arne slot will be looking from afar and seeing whats what he has to do for next season, because theres a few players who could be leaving anfield because klopps leaving. Okay, can we have a look at well its Manchester City isnt it, and their financial fair. Yeah. Worth an update on this because i mean, these two other stories have been so big that its been kind of, overshadowed really, but richard masters, the premier league chief executive, was giving a speech yesterday, the European Conference or, european league, league conference, events. And he said that he gave an update on Manchester Citys situation. Dont forget, they were charged with 115 charges of alleged breaches of profit and sustainability rules. That was in february 2023. Now, i said at the time, steven, that city would use their lawyers to wrap the situation up in litigation. Thats proved to be correct because 14 months later, were no sooner knowing it didnt seem to stop everton being dealt with quickly and nottingham forest, but he said that a date has been set, but he refused to reveal any any details. So we should get a resolution on whether on whats going to become of Manchester City, whether theyre going to get relegated, whether theyre going to be hit with a points deduction, a huge fine or whatever city would should say. And its often forgotten in all this. But city deny any wrongdoing. All right. Okay. Im wrongdoing. All right. Okay. Im only smiling because you like a badger. Aiden is renowned for very bad jokes. I dont know about that. I dont know about that. Deborah bet has just messaged him just this second. Just saying. I think klopps brother clipity should have taken over. Clipity should have taken over. Very good. Yeah. Very good. You like that one . The horse one . Yeah. Hes not there for long. Oh yeah , i get out. Oh yeah, i get out. Oh yeah, i get out. Right. Good. Aiden, you about yourself . Dont worry. Thanks very much. See you later. Well see you tomorrow. Yeah. Yes. See you then. Still to come. A business in the West Midlands has received the kings award for enterprise. Well be telling you all about it next. Now, a business in the West Midlands has been officially handed the kings award for enterprise. That was all at enterprise. That was all at a ceremony yesterday. Yes. The award is the highest official uk honour for british businesses aiming to promote both small and large enterprises. Well, it is a big deal. So we sent our West Midlands reporter jack carson to take a look. Jack carson to take a look. Yeah, for a business in the uk its the highest accolade achievable and the West Midlands is not afraid to make its mark at a ceremony at their factory in smethwick, the lord lieutenant of the West Midlands, sirjohn lord lieutenant of the West Midlands, sir John Crabtree obe, presented the team at remedy health with the prestigious kings award for enterprise in the innovation category. The innovation category. We recognise in the Outstanding Achievement of the said Award Recipient, as demonstrated in the application of innovation in our United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, our Channel Islands and isle of man and wishing to show our royal favour, confer upon it the kings award for enterprise innovation. The prize aims to reward both small and Large Businesses with an innovative product or service and recognise their contribution to enterprise, with last year being the first awarded by his majesty king charles raneem oudeh. King charles raneem oudeh. Health and their nourished brand won the award for their 3d printed customisable nutritional gummies. The business has developed and innovated to be able to combine seven different active ingredients into one daily personalised stack. Customers can choose their favourite vitamins and supplements and at their factory in birmingham, theyll 3d print the selection on demand. Award winning female entrepreneur Melissa Snover is the brains behind the business. She describes what it means to be honoured with the kings award for our business is really the highest honour that we could ever receive. We were really founded on the idea that innovation is going to be the single biggest factor in changing the world, and so you can imagine were all overwhelmed with pride. The nourish brand was only one of ten West Midlands winners out of the 262 rewarded in total, and the only winner in birmingham in the innovation category. But it isnt just about running a business. Melissa says shes passionate about the next generation of female entrepreneurs and works with by women, built a platform for female owned businesses less than 80 of young people can name a female entrepreneur , and name a female entrepreneur, and thatis name a female entrepreneur, and that is something that were really committed to changing the narrative on at bwb. I think you cant be it if you cant see it. And so myself and the other women involved in that cause are really trying to raise the profile of female entrepreneurs and make sure that young people are seeing them at the beginning of their career, where theyre starting to think about what will i be having launched in 2019, this business has already had to navigate a pandemic and high inflation. But with its kings award for enterprise proudly on display, their future has the royal seal of approval. Jack carson gb news smethwick. Vitamins. Vitamins. Theyre not vitamins, are they . Vitamins . Yeah so what the company does. So what the company does. Ive not been paying a visit. Ive not been paying a visit. Hes been busy talking about dartford. And all day we were talking about. I thought they were mint humbugs. Oh, well then i thought they were oddly round. Yeah, vitamins. Yeah, vitamins. But i meant humbug would be a good idea. It would be. They look like. It would be. They look like. They look like the vitamins. Are they all right . There you go. Bank of them. Then to suck on the way home. Then to suck on the way home. Yeah. Might not be a bad idea. No. No. No. Should we, we should probably go to a break, shouldnt we . I think you might need welcome back to breakfast. Were going through the papers now with writer and journalist emma wolf and author and journalist susan holder. Very good to see susan holder. Very good to see you both this morning. And, susan, lets talk about those cavalry horses, shall we . Yes. Who bolted through london on wednesday morning . Wednesday morning . They did. They did. And i mean, in a way, i suppose the amount of kind of ceremonial things that go on in london that involve the horses, its almost surprising this hasnt kind of happened before or doesnt happen more often, but for anyone who remembers on wednesday there was footage, there was two horses in particular were shown bolting. They went on a six mile rampage. It took about an hour. Somebody dropped some builders dropped concrete near where they were rehearsing the trooping of the big shoots. Yeah, and that does make a hell of a noise, doesnt it . And it spooked some horses for actually went running off through through riders. For actually went running off through through riders. And the through through riders. And the one that you see the white horse is that a grey that you call it, i dont know with the blood has had an operation , and there are had an operation, and there are fears that they might have an infection, might have set in. And so it is touch and go. That horse is called vader. So the update is that they are obviously they are trying very hard to take care of these horses, but they were very badly injured. What happened with vader is that she, careered into a line of those scooters, e scooters and bikes, and that was the damage that you sort of trust. So it was quite spectacular to see that horse covered in blood. Really horrifying. And for anyone who is around between 830 and 930 in london and saw those horses going past, it must have been really scary. I was amazed at how empty aldwych, thats aldwych in central london, how empty that was at the peak of, i mean, 830, normally you i mean mercifully so because a lot of cars have just got out of the way as well. But they and the black horse actually banged into a taxi, broke the window. I mean, those horses, theyre big and theyre powerful. So hopefully theyre powerful. So hopefully theyre going to be okay. But as i say, they have been operated on. So thats the latest. And the riders were thrown as well. They were they were treated i mean yeah, were lucky that there wasnt more severe injuries, but yeah. So thats whats going on at the moment. Yes. Apparently they were on watering duty , which is watering duty, which is something that they do only just take them out and they call it watering duty. Okay. Okay. Dont ask me why. Dont ask me why. Because its that sort of like when you feed in water, like when you feed in water, like the dog, you know, sort of. But you just sort of take them out for a stroll and. Yeah, get them used to the noises and things. But london is a very noisy place. That is, emma, lets take a look at the telegraph, shall we . And this is sir keir starmer. Yes. If he lost his seat, what job would he want . Well, in the unlikely event that he loses his seat or that he doesnt win the general election whenever it happens, keir starmer has been saying that hed like to go and work in a bookshop. I think lots of people can associate with that, can identify with that. Hed love to work in a little bookshop. Hed love to serve people coffee and just, you know, potter, it always seems like such a nice job. Hes actually dynamic, though , is it . Youd expect him to be saying, oh, do something really dynamic and exciting . Yeah. Yeah. Change the world. Do i go and work at the un or something . Yeah. No, he would just is would he be more suited to working in a bookshop . Thats the question. Thats the question. Yeah. Yeah. He was asked on this podcast rosebud, what he would do and he said, oh, ive already got that plan. Theres a little bookshop on kentish town high street. I actually know the one hes talking about. I think its the owl bookshop, he says. And ive already ive always fancied working there. If all goes badly, you can come and see me in my bookshop. Bring your book and ill make you a cup of coffee. Oh, right. It does sound a bit mundane, doesnt it . A bit tame, but sounds a bit tame. I mean, it makes me like him a little bit more, though, because bookshops are the most fantastic places ive been. Well, ive been going round bookshops as an author and i go and do talks in bookshops quite and do talks in bookshops quite a lot, and the people who run bookshops are the most fantastic people. And the book bookshops ive been to, theres one in ludlow that has a secret garden at the back, and as an author, if you go there and have an event, you do it in the secret garden, which is so magical. I did one in nantwich as well, not long ago, and thats in like a tudor building. They are the they are there. If you go and find your local independent bookshop because they are amazing. But then if keir starmer was behind the desk, would it, would it make you go in or would it put you off . I dont know. Well, in 2019 he had a 28,000 seat majority. So its very unlikely that hes going to have to put his sort of second career into action. Any time soon. More likely. Very much. More likely. Very much. It pays heading straight towards number 10. Yeah. Oh well there you go. Yeah. Oh well there you go. Good luck keir, should you lose your seat . Susan. Oh, i cant mention this. This has got to be for you. We have to talk about my favourite. Its all women. Its all for you, ellie. Yeah our taylor swift correspondent over there. So taylor swift has become the first musician to claim 12 number one uk albums in the 21st century. So shes record beating. She is phenomenal. I do love taylor swift. I think shes a great role model. Good, good. Ipass a great role model. Good, good. I pass the ellie test. Theyre a role model. Theyre a role model. Yeah, no, i think shes a great role model for women in many ways. Like, well, shes entitled to, well shes playing the field and whats wrong with that. And also stephen, you can go on a date with somebody. Doesnt mean youre a single lady. Yeah, yeah. And some of these relationships that we think we know about, i dont know whats going on. I dont know how it might all be a bit for show. They might be just friends. You know, we dont know. And at least shes not kind of marrying and divorcing. Marrying and divorcing. No. Thats true. Thats true. Well, you know, and shes not got any children, so shes entitled to kind of, you know, and shes very successful in her own right away from all of her relationships, which is probably possibly why a lot of the relationships dont work. Well, yeah, we could theorise on that. What i do have a question though, ellie, is so i a big fan of taylor swift. Id love to go and see her live. I think she puts a great shame. My 13 year old granddaughter is obsessed with taylor swift, as well. She might be at her age. Longeville wise, will we be singing taylor swifts songs in 40 years . Yes, and ill tell you why. Because taylor swift specialised in something called eras. So weve gone through Country Music, weve gone through pop, weve had a rock era, and its just going to keep coming and it will almost go full circle, i think. So theres something for everyone out there. There is. And i think shes very skilled at it. And some of the songs i know i like, but i dont know as many as i feel i should. For somebody whos such a big artist. And is that because it music isnt played in the same way that all the viewers, youre going to say no, i couldnt name a taylor swift song. Could you name a taylor swift song . Theres a romeo and juliet love story. Love story thats. Love story thats. Well, i wouldnt have known it. We all know the love and you know, and, you know, shake it off, shake it off. Oh, yes, shake it off. You must. That was her, though. Well, there you go. So you know that song. But i do wonder about that kind of penetration into the market generally that we used to have ballads. Are they or. Are they or. But, but, but you know anthems people, people now know the beatles songs even if they cant name all the beatles. Yes, but beatles were groundbreaking of their day, werent they . It was. It was. Everybody knew the beatles because it was like. But its not a new thing. It was new and no, but it was a history of the song. No, its not about the quality of the songs. Its a different media landscape. Everybody had a radio and everybody would listen to pop music on the radio. Same with dolly parton or whitney houston. The iconic songs that youre talking about. Yeah, nowadays everyones plugged to. In their everyones plugged to. In their to their earbuds or whatever, and theyre looking at stuff and were all listening individually. Were not listening collectively in the same way, because you look back at the beatles and again, the classics and of their time, and also you think like Something Like love me do, its a catchy tune. Lyrics are dreadful. Lyrics are dreadful. Yeah, theyre really dreadful. And taylor swift was a great lyricist. Youd like that she is. Youd like that she is. Yes. No, no i do. Yes. No, no i do. Shes a poet. Shes a poet. Whats the last number one song you wrote, though . Well, ho. [10. No. No. Oh, yes, but its not. No. Oh, yes, but its not. Its like you cant look at Something Like love me do and 90, Something Like love me do and go, well, actually, yes. Lyrically its this amazing, but its a, its a talent to achieve something that is like an earworm and is something that. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, its not, its not to knock it, but i think but i think theyve had longevity because of the time that they existed. And then they become legendary. Whereas a lot of the people around now its just disposable pop and, and itll just that is my question you know is taylor swift although shes hugely right now. Will those songs stand the test of time. I dont know we, we wont know for another 40 years. She may stand the test of time, but the songs now wont she might still be churning like i beg to differ. The share is still churning. Stuff out and good on her. I love cher, but its not that her songs are anything particularly outstanding in their own right. Believers are great. Believers are great. Like its catchy tune, but i think taylor swift is smart enough to reinvent herself. As you say. I think she will just gone from being a hugely successful teenager as you say, with Country Music to a hugely successful 30 something. Yeah, in a different way. So, you know , yeah, she knows good you know, yeah, she knows good on us, those artists at the time. I mean, look at marty wilde, who were going to be talking to in the next hour. Yeah i mean, his stuff, you know, which is some of it is just there for, for posterity now, isnt it . Its going to be around forever. And hes still churning out new stuff. Hes got a new album out. Will that have the same impact . Five yeah. Well that have the same impact as his old stuff. Probably not. Yeah, well, i just think people listen and consume music in a different way. Completely different way. Right. Right. And weve been talking about this, this morning havent we. How cold and horrible it is outside. Outside. Its very odd. So april has not been cold and yet everybody you speak to says hasnt it been cold . Hasnt it been miserable lately . Grey and cold and wet. Very wet this morning. Weve had to put the heating on. Yeah, exactly. Weve had the heating on meteor. Illogically, though, the met office data shows its been one of the warmest aprils on record. Its very, very strange this thats the met office gaslighting us, isnt it . Because we all can. Because we all can. We can feel cold. We can feel cold. Yeah. No, its been warmer than the uk average. Its been one of the warmest aprils in on record in the last 30 years, which i just think is so weird. Apparently its all about perception. When we have a couple of really hot, sunny days, which we kind of got used to with. Do you remember the lockdown year like 20 2021 . Yeah we had some very, very hot springs, like a very hot april, very hot may, and so people remember those as hot springs and now not hot springs. Remember those as hot springs and now not hot springs. Hot. Yeah. And now because we havent had that, weve had relatively warm april, but its been quite grey. Theres not been much sun, but its been windy. It has been windy and its been wet. Been wet. Makes it feel cold and it hasnt been very wet. But theres always been rain a bit around and its been grey. Whereas when you get actual sunshine, despite the temperature, when you get sunshine, the human brain remembers that more. Are they telling us when its going to change . Thats what we want to know. Theyre vaguely saying it should get a little bit better. This is exactly what i looked for. Therell be a bit of dry weather, but were not quite at the sitting out stage alfresco dining point at this time of the year that some people want. We need to wait a bit longer gaslighting us. Theyre gaslighting us. Theyre gaslighting us. They are. They are. They are. Well, they are. Well, in they are. Well, in the meantime, while we wait for the nice weather, we should just walk up and down our stairs. We should walk up and down stairs because if you walk up and down the stairs, rather than taking the lift, you have a 39 lower risk of dying from heart disease, which is a good enough reason in itself, isnt it . Really, and i do think walking up stairs is actually very important. People, when you get people get a lot older and theyre finding it difficult. Obviously you a lot of people do move into accommodation that doesnt have so many stairs because its safer. So you bungalows and apartments, but actually if you dont use stairs, the muscles that you use in the tops of your legs to go up and down stairs are not used for anything else. You can just you can walk a lot and actually be quite fit. If you dont ever do stairs, you sort of lose the ability to do stairs, and those muscles also waste very quickly if youre off your feet. If youre if youre ever unwell and youre if youre ever unwell and youre in hospital and youre youre in hospital and youre youre bedridden for a while and youre bedridden for a while and you come out, going up the stairs is a very precarious thing. You have to go and build back up to it very gradually. And i would recommend that anybody who is in an apartment or, a bungalow for, you know, good safety reasons, if youve even got just, just go on the steps, go up and down and do those stepping exercises every now and again. It is really good for your legs, but its actually amazingly good for your health. So i heard you joking earlier. Do you always use the lift here . Do you always use the lift here . Do you always use the lift here . Do you not use the stairs . I didnt know the stairs were here to be. I always use the stairs here, but i do. I now use the stairs now ive now ive found them tiny. Theres only about. Theres only about. Its only. Its only. Yeah, its only about six feet down. Yeah, yeah, but no lift for me. Steven would be in the lift. Yeah, i will be in the lift. I mean, ive got a lot of stairs at home. Im up and down the stairs like. No, thats true. No, thats true. I live on the third floor in a big building on the third floor and no lift. And so i feel like a paragon of virtue. Yes, i curse them very often with baby shopping, bikes, prams. But you know, do you have to carry a pram up three flights of stairs . No, weve ditched the pram now. I just make no, weve ditched the pram now. Ijust make him. What do no, weve ditched the pram now. I just make him. What do you no, weve ditched the pram now. Ijust make him. What do you do i just make him. What do you do with your shopping . Do you leave it all at the bottom and then you have to get the child into a safe place. So either you carry one or you just. Oh, that is a, that is a no, its fine. Now thats a workout he can self though isnt it. It is. But you are very healthy so thats good. Well there you go. Well there you go. Who knows. Wow should we talk about, well, when youre being healthy, how about a piint . A very expensive one. A very expensive one. Well, i hate to go back to the co op. Manchester arena, the troubled arena, but apparently there, when it finally opens, a pint can cost nearly. Its a pint can cost nearly. Its a pint cost nearly £9 there. 895. 895. But in two and a half years, the forecast price for a pint is set to hit £41 in the capital. Ridiculous. Ridiculous. Ridiculous. I mean, this is crazy. Youre getting to the point where a couple of drinks is going to be £50. No, he can afford that. No, he can afford that. No, he can afford that. Its funny, isnt it, when you get i mean, i dont buy a pint, but when you buy a couple of glasses of, of wine and its cheaper to buy the bottle , its cheaper to buy the bottle, its cheaper to buy the bottle, its cheaper to buy a good bottle of wine than it is to buy a drink for you and a friend. Yeah. And if theyre doing it to discourage you from drinking too much. But actually what theyre doing is encouraging you to buy a bottle of wine thats kind of not really working, is it . Yeah, it happened to us the other day. I went out with a friend, becky. Oh, becky. Which . Becky. Oh, becky. Which . Becky. Drinking. Becky. Drinking. Becky. Clearly drinking. Becky. Yeah. That one. And it was £13 a glass and then. Yeah, for a glass and then. Yeah, for a glass of red wine. And then we didnt realise until wed ordered it and then were like, oh, sorry, can we have the bottle please . They said, oh, you cant do that. You cant just have the rest of the bottle. So then we just bought bottle. Dont go there again. Dont go there again. Yeah. Its extortionate, absolutely extortionate. I just i it drives me mad. Absolutely. And then we wonder why people are not going out and are staying in and buying wine at home or buying, you know, staying in and buying wine at home or buying , you know, beer home or buying, you know, beer from the supermarket. Well, ill tell you what, you never see an empty wetherspoons unless they sell it all on the its cheap and theyre always packed. Anyway , emma, thank you very anyway, emma, thank you very much indeed for having us. See you. Good to see you both. Lets take a look at the weather. Looks like things are heating up. Boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. Morning. We have some heavy , morning. We have some heavy, persistent rain arriving later today. Meaning tomorrow is going today. Meaning tomorrow is going to be pretty wet for some of us. However, before then, its a rather showery day for many of us today. First thing, we do have quite a bit of cloud across southern areas, and some outbreaks of showery rain pushing their way into parts of the midlands. More central parts as we go through the day across scotland, Northern Ireland. A touch of frost first thing this morning and then a scattering of showers developing as we head into the afternoon, and some of these could turn a little bit wintry over the higher ground. There will be some sunny spells around, but temperatures still a little bit below average for the time of year. Some places staying in single figures highs of around 14 or 15 celsius. Further south, some heavy rain then feeding into southern parts as we go through this evening. So a pretty wet end to the day here. And that rain then continuing to push further northwards overnight, feeding in across much of central southern england into some northern parts of england and perhaps into wales as well. First thing tomorrow morning, towards the northwest , though, some clearer northwest, though, some clearer skies. So again we could see a touch of frost. First thing. It touch of frost. First thing. It is going to be a wet start to the day across much of england and wales then tomorrow. But that rain, although will be quite heavy and persistent for a time, is gradually going to clear its way northwards, could fringe into some eastern parts of scotland, but more western parts of scotland and Northern Ireland going to stay largely dry. And we should see some sunshine also breaking out across parts of west and wales and southwest england. Two temperatures similar to today but obviously feeling a bit more unpleasant when its going to be very wet. A brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on gb news. Morning to you. Its 9 00 on saturday, the 27th of april. Today, a royal return. The king today, a royal return. The king set to resume royal duties on tuesday. Following his Cancer Treatment. Humza yousaf faces political chaos. Scotlands first minister has insisted he will not resign. Thats despite facing a vote of no confidence in his leadership.

And were going to meet legendary singer martin wild to tell us about his new album and of course, his career spanning over 65 years. Hello. Its still going to be hello. Its still going to be rather cool this weekend. A few showers to watch out for today and then something wetter arriving later. Ill have the details coming up. Morning to you. Im Stephen Dixon and im ellie costello, and this is breakfast on. And this is breakfast on. Gb news. See, ellies in trouble for a whole host of reasons. Want you probably her to turning the papers on the newspaper. Its a very big paper. And plus, now youve covered everything. All my notes. All my notes. What do you need . What do you need . Ive just. All my stuff. Look at it all. Everywhere. Its not my fault. The papers are so big. Its terrible. Its terrible. They need to downsize. They need to downsize. They need to downsize. They need to downsize. They shouldve done this research in plenty of time. Yeah anyway, we better crack on because weve got a shadow minister standing by. We want to talk first and foremost about humza yousaf at the first minister of scotland, who said he will not resign ahead of a crucial test of his leadership next week. Yes, he says that a minority government, his party will need to make some concessions as it negotiates with other parties , negotiates with other parties, as after the collapse of the snps power sharing deal with the greens yesterday. But humza yousaf says hell fight. On fight. On i fully intend to not just win that vote, but i intend to fight to make sure that the government stays, not just the government stays, not just the government continues to deliver on the priorities of the people, like, for example, investing in affordable housing. So theres all that political game playing happening from the opposition. It will not be taking part. It will be getting, of course, on with the job. And when the vote comes, i fully intend to win. Lets talk to. Do apologise. Lets talk to. Do apologise. We throw it about everything. Just felt very slightly mad. Lets talk to our Political Correspondent olivia utley. So humza yousaf seems determined to butter his greens. He does. He does. He does. He is saying that hes going to cling on, but its not quite clear whether the decision is actually up to him. Theres going to be a vote of no confidence in him next week, and unless he manages to butter up at least one msp from another Party Outside of the snp, then he is going to lose that vote of no confidence. Now hes got pretty slim pickings for people who he can turn on the charm to and try and get them to vote for him. There are the greens, but obviously he has very much upset them by unceremoniously ending them by unceremoniously ending the snp green coalition, and theyve already said that they are not going to be voting for him in a vote of no confidence. And then there is ash regan, alba partys only msp. Well, ash alba partys only msp. Well, ash regan and humza yousaf fell out in a big way a couple of years ago when they disagreed over the gender recognition act. And ash reganis gender recognition act. And ash regan is saying that she will vote for, humza yousaf on the condition that he implements the recommendations in the cas report and basically undoes a lot of what humza yousaf and the snp have been doing. In terms of genderin snp have been doing. In terms of gender in scotland. So humza yousaf is walking on, on very, very thin ice here. And even if he does win that vote of no confidence next week, it could be that his position becomes untenable very soon anyway, because itll be very, very difficult for him to govern with a minority government if he does survive. I mean, is it is it likely that he could survive or cling to power if he loses that vote next week . Well, he could. He doesnt have to stand down. The vote isnt actually binding, but it would be politically very awkward for him to stay in position. And there is also going to be a vote at some point. We expect on a no confidence motion in the whole of the snp as a government. That motion has been tabled by anas sarwar of labour. Now the greens havent said which way they would vote in a vote of no confidence in the snp government. They havent ruled out voting in favour of removing the snp government, so we could see in a few weeks an absolute implosion in holyrood and an early election. Okay, olivia, thank you very much indeed. Lets talk to the shadow minister for industry , shadow minister for industry, sarah jones, who joins us now. Good to see you. This morning. Is it is it time for parliamentary elections in scotland, do you think is that the way this has to go now . I think so, and i mean it just looks like for humza yousaf, now that its a matter of when, not if, doesnt it. And i think that him going in and of itself wont deliver the change that scottish people need, its time to put the question back to the people of scotland. Let them decide what they think should happen. Weve had chaos since all the stories emerged around Nicola Sturgeon , emerged around Nicola Sturgeon, and really, i think the public are fed up with political chaos across the uk as well as in scotland. I mean, weve got new figures out today showing 1. 1 businesses are saying 1. 1 million. Sorry businesses. Thats 1 in 5 million. Sorry businesses. Thats1 in 5 overall. Million. Sorry businesses. Thats 1 in 5 overall. Say the Economic Uncertainty is the number one factor impacting their turnover. Well Political Uncertainty causes Economic Uncertainty. And i think we need to get back to a point where were serving the people of scotland, not just going from crisis to crisis, as seems to be the case at the moment. I wanted to ask you about labours plans to remove the vat exemption on Independent School fees, because theres warnings in the papers today from government sources that state schools would simply not be prepared for an influx in students. And weve got another story that weve been covering this morning about a Teacher Shortage crisis that teaching assistants are routinely having to cover lessons in england and wales because there simply are not enough teaching staff. I mean , these government sources mean, these government sources would say that these labour plans are detrimental to childrens education. Id say this government is detrimental to childrens education, the failures that we have seen, the growing gap in terms of attainment, is really worrying. In terms of attainment, is really worrying. In our terms of attainment, is really worrying. In our schools. And of worrying. In our schools. And of course, our teachers are overstretched. Ive got three kids in state schools, and i see the impact, as i think all parents do, of the shortage of teachers and the need we have to encourage more people to go into the teaching profession. Now on the teaching profession. Now on the private school policy, the institute for fiscal studies looked at this. They said that they thought we would raise, over £1 billion from this policy. I think its right that where resources are there, we put them into our schools across the board, which is the majority state schools, to try and bring standards up so that we get to a point. Where people say, well, point. Where people say, well, i dont need to send my child to a private school because actually the local school is brilliant. Thats where labour want to get to. Yes, but that doesnt get rid of the problem, does it . That if you suddenly slap vat on on the fee for private schools , 20, and fee for private schools, 20, and then you are going to end up with or at least its claimed a whole lot of people immediately pulling their children out and putting them into state schools that arent prepared for that influx. I mean, its an immediate i know youve got long term goals there, which is great, but what do you do about the immediate problem . Well, that is not an immediate problem that has been identified by anybody in terms of any evidence. Thats just the governments putting that forward. The institute for fiscal studies think we will make money from this, which is based on people remaining in the private sector, if you look at private education, how much the fees have increased over recent years , theyve increased well above, inflation. In most cases. So we inflation. In most cases. So we have seen increases and that hasnt seen a reduction in people using them. So the evidence i think is just not there that this is going to happen. There that this is going to happen. Now we want all our happen. Now we want all our schools to be great. We want people to have choice, but we want all our schools to be great. And where there is a loophole in the tax system, as there is currently when it comes to vat and private schools, we think we should put that right. Thats only fair in terms of youn thats only fair in terms of your, your key point on on businesses and Economic Uncertainty. Uncertainty. The whole western. World you, the whole western. World you, if you want to put it in those terms, has been suffering with Economic Uncertainty at the moment. I mean, its partly in the wake of covid and all the rest of it. You cant pin that entirely on the government so that there may be 1. 1 million businesses very worried because of Economic Uncertainty. It doesnt mean that a change of government is going to immediately bring that under control. Control. Well, i think you make a fair point. Of course, that you cant look at the economy and rule out the impact of all kinds of global shocks, like the war in ukraine. Of course, thats true. But if you look at the chaos we had under boris johnson, with 70 of his ministers resigning and him having to be forced out, if you look at the mini budget with liz truss that crashed the economy, if you look at where we are compared to other countries , you compared to other countries, you know, the First Parliament in history, this parliament, to see a fall in living standards. And weve got the lowest Business Investment in the g7. These are decisions that have consequences that the government is making. Rishi sunak told us this week that we turned a corner. But of course prices are still rising and were still in recession. And when he changes his ministers every five minutes, is embroiled in internal battles. Embroiled in internal battles. The whole time weve had ministers out this morning in the papers saying that backbenchers shouldnt revolt against rishi. When you have that level of chaos and in Central Government , it of course Central Government, it of course it has an impact on businesses and we talk to businesses all the time. In my role, its my job to do and what they say is, please, if you do nothing else, give us some stability, give us a plan, some certainty. Get a grip on the National Spending so that we know where we can invest, when we can invest, and we can take those managed risks so that we can grow our businesses and grow the economy. Its interesting to talking labour politicians like yourself, because obviously this is an election year. Youre all acting with a degree of confidence because you feel like you are a government in waiting. And we well have to , you know, and we well have to, you know, see what the polls say. But you all have that degree of confidence. And look, we look at confidence. And look, we look at the polls. Its understandable. But how comfortable do you feel then, with all that in mind. Then, with all that in mind. David lammy, the shadow foreign secretary, has been Holding Meetings with. This is, according to the telegraph, Holding Meetings with a series of trump world figures over recent months, you know, waiting to see if donald trump should get back into the white house in november. Is that a sensible thing to do, or does that make you feel uncomfortable . You feel uncomfortable . No, i think its absolutely the right thing to do. Look, the reality is the American People will decide who their president is , and itll either be biden or is, and itll either be biden or trump. And they are the americans, our closest allies. Americans, our closest allies. We must keep that relationship and we must build on it and try and we must build on it and try and make sure whether it comes to the global situation, the war in ukraine, the uncertainty in the middle east, were working handin the middle east, were working hand in hand. And in terms of our trade and our economy, its really important that whoever is in the white house has a Good Relationship with us, and youre right, the labour party is having those conversations, as you would expect. But we dont take anything for granted in terms of the election. Its going to be a difficult fight and we wouldnt assume anything, but its only right that we would be preparing to have a strong relationship with whoever is in the white house after the election. Election. Okay. Sarah jones, really good to talk to you this morning. Thanks very much indeed i well, let emma well, let us know what you thought about any of that this morning. Gb news eckmuhl say. Yeah, Economic Uncertainty. Yeah, Economic Uncertainty. How do you can you pin that on the government . You can pin how theyve you can criticise how theyve you can criticise how theyve responded to it, i dont know whether any of the party would have responded any differently or in a way that had a better impact , and there are a better impact, and there are global factors, arent there, as you say, being felt around the world. Yeah. So i dont know how much can be pinned on the tory party, but do let us know. The party, but do let us know. The labour party will say it just hasnt been handled particularly well. Yeah let us know what you think. Yes. Difficult to say from our position. All right. Lets look at the king. Should we . Yes. Hes going to return to pubuc yes. Hes going to return to public duties on tuesday following his Cancer Treatment. Yes. A palace spokesperson says king charles is greatly encouraged to be resuming some pubuc encouraged to be resuming some public facing engagements and very grateful to his media team. Well, many people have sent their well wishes, our best wishes, including the Prime Minister who said on x brilliant news to end the week. News to end the week. Labour leader sir keir starmer also posted a message on the platform saying delighted to see his majesty looking so well, i wish him and the princess of wales the best as they continue their recovery with the support of their families. Well, earlier we spoke to the suns former royal correspondent, the great charles rae. Rae. Fantastic news and that is a brilliant photograph by millie pilkington. I mean, it just summed up the whole day, of the great news that he has had. Hes not out of the woods yet and hes not pretending to be out of the woods, but his treatment is going so well that he is coming back into public duty. Hes going to be meeting people, you know, public facing people and everything else. And theres a whole list of events that are coming up throughout the year , coming up throughout the year, he may not do all of them. It will very much depend on his doctors advice. But two things that are on the cards are very lengthy trips to samoa for the government, heads of state and also, australia. So its, you also, australia. So its, you know, hes got a lot of plans going on. Do you necessarily think, charles, its the right thing and will he be pressured into this . I mean, obviously we want we want to see him back. Its very positive in one respect. We wouldnt want him to feel obuged wouldnt want him to feel obliged to come back before hes ready. No, i suspect that he is the driving force, the to come back. I mean, hes not a man. As Nichi Hodgson said earlier on today, who just sits around in his pipe and slippers , he does, his pipe and slippers, he does, he is a very hard working man. And he gets up very early and goes to bed very late at night. Goes to bed very late at night. And im sure that camilla has been making sure that he has been making sure that he has been resting as much as possible, but i suspect he is the driving force about getting back to what he is loathed not having to do the things that you know, a king should do, but i think his doctors, i think he is listening to his doctors. I hope hes listening to his doctors. And im sure that they are giving him the right advice. And giving him the right advice. And they will look at each individual event that crops up and will say to him, we think you could do this. And maybe just take this one easy, although itll itll depend on that advice. It might be the case of one thing at a time. Charles, what does this mean for the wider family as well . Because we know the slimmed down monarchy , that the slimmed down monarchy, that this has been a very challenging time for the family, especially for Prince William, who obviously has his own thing to deal with, doesnt he . With with his wife also, battling with cancer. His wife also, battling with cancer. What do you think this cancer. What do you think this means for Prince William and also Queen Camilla, whos really had to step up to the plate . Well, itll be a slight relief because the king will be able to do some of the duties that they had. They had been taking on, and so its great that hes back and more importantly, i think will be waiting as well with bated breath really to in the hope that we hear some great news about the princess of wales and her battle, but i think you know, the family, is coming back together again. They will they will cope. Quite amazing as they have done and they will continue to do so. I mean , the fact that to do so. I mean, the fact that the slimmed down is, is a natural thing. Thats thats happened. You know, harry in montecito, youve got andrew clearly who cant do anything else. But people like the duke and duchess of edinburgh have stepped up to the plate and helped out. Obviously, princess anne, the royal workhorse, shes been doing all the all the stuff that she normally does and a bit more. So yeah, no, it didnt. More. So yeah, no, it didnt. Fine fettle.

The highs, the lows, the twists and turns. Well be with you for every step of this journey in 2024. Gb news is britains election. Channel. Welcome back to breakfast. Now the government will begin physical checks at the border on medium risk and high risk goods coming into the uk at the end of this month. This month. Meanwhile, in ireland, goods coming in will be checked after october this year. Well joining us now is gb news Northern Ireland reporter dougie beattie. Good morning to you, dougie. Can you make sense of all of this for us . Good morning and welcome to Customs House square in belfast. And why am i here . Well, its easy to explain that this used to be where when goods came into Northern Ireland, the customs levy was set on them. Here they were checked just across the road and that included live animals and food. And of course, when we joined the eu, we all kept the same regulation and legislation on production of food and goods , and therefore food and goods, and therefore the customs levels were were set and the legislation was known. Once you were inside europe, well, then everybody had the same level playing field. So this is really an outworking of brexit, and it has took quite a long while to get here. And of course, in the rest of britain you will now have places like this coming back again where you will have customs checks on goods coming in from all over the world, including europe. Now, labour have always said that they want to get closer to the regulation and legislation of europe wants more, and that would do away with a lot of these checks. But of course, these checks. But of course, when you get checks, you get bureaucracy , and bureaucracy has bureaucracy, and bureaucracy has to be paid for in some way or another. And that will, of course go to you and me at the checkouts. So its how much of that will actually be present at that will actually be present at that time. Now, britain has said that time. Now, britain has said that time. Now, britain has said that they are going to operate this trusted trader system, and this trusted trader system, and this was the very system that Northern Ireland had asked for after the brexit negotiations. And of course, Northern Ireland was held inside the eu market. So therefore we actually have customs posts coming from goods from britain into Northern Ireland. And that whole process brought down a government in Northern Ireland because we then had green and red lanes. So what we are looking at now is a gradual introduction again of customs into the uk for goods coming from outside the uk and of course that will play into the deal that the dup did that brought the Government Back here again , where they have told the again, where they have told the voting population here that we will not, as part of the uk, our goods will not be checked. Going back into britain , but goods back into britain, but goods from the republic of ireland will be. And that will, of course cause problems with, the regularity of goods arriving into britain. And it could well see shortages on shelves and certain goods and as like here in Northern Ireland, many of the, the manufacture and suppliers to Northern Ireland just simply stop supplying because the cost of the trader support scheme was absolutely running into millions of pounds and it wasnt worth goods coming in that were very small profit margins. So thats what we have to watch in britain over the next few months while weve got you, dougie , whats going on in you, dougie, whats going on in terms of tensions in Northern Ireland over the rwanda bill . Well, its not in Northern Ireland. This is in the republic of ireland. And you remember back well, 21st of january last yeah back well, 21st of january last year. I had been reporting on this very issue and what is called the common travel area that exists between ireland, Northern Ireland, south wales, scotland and britain. And of course, that means you could travel anywhere inside that. Now, the rwanda bill has taken out certain issues out of the court of human rights, and a lot of those people from london, that and immigrants that came in there that are thinking, oh , i there that are thinking, oh, i might end up in the plane, have now over the past couple of years, headed for the republic of ireland. Now the republic of ireland has had huge problems with infrastructure. And i was slammed for saying this, but the repubuc slammed for saying this, but the republic of ireland is a beautiful country. Its an absolutely smashing country. The people are great, but they do have a small population and that has risen in the last few years. And last night outside newtownmountkennedy, which is a small village between bray and wicklow, south of dublin, the riot police were actually involved in holding back , crowds involved in holding back, crowds of locals there who were trying to get to in their own village. And these, these demonstrations have been happening all across the republic of ireland over the last year or so, and it will have a serious consequences for the european elections. And well see which parties actually take control there. Okay. Dougie beattie, thank you very much indeed. Right. To you very much indeed. Right. To things that are very important to some of you, because youve beenin to some of you, because youve been in touch to say i couldnt name a taylor swift song, says john, kelly says , whos taylor john, kelly says, whos taylor swift .

Were back in a minute. Were back in a minute. A brighter outlook with boxt solar, sponsors of weather on. Solar, sponsors of weather on. Gb news. Morning. We have some heavy, persistent rain arriving later today. Meaning tomorrow is going today. Meaning tomorrow is going to be pretty wet for some of us. However, before then, its a rather showery day for many of us today. First thing, we do have quite a bit of cloud across southern areas , and some southern areas, and some outbreaks of showery rain pushing their way into parts of the midlands. More central parts as we go through the day across scotland, Northern Ireland, a touch of frost first thing this morning and then a scattering of showers developing as we head into the afternoon, and some of these could turn a little bit wintry over the higher ground. There will be some sunny spells around, but temperatures still a little bit below average for the time of year. Some places staying in single figures highs of around 14 or 15 celsius. Further south, some heavy rain then feeding into southern parts as we go through this evening. So a pretty wet end to the day here and that rain then continuing to push further northwards overnight, feeding in across much of central southern england into some northern parts of england and perhaps into wales as well. First thing tomorrow morning, towards the northwest , though, some clearer northwest, though, some clearer skies. So again we could see a touch of frost. First thing. It touch of frost. First thing.

And so its been an honour to work for her, whats it like . I mean, looking whats it like . I mean, looking looking back in history a little bit to your very, very early days. Well, you were born before you can even remember, in blackheath. How important is it to you to be going back to blackheath to to, perform . Oh, very important to me , oh, very important to me, stephen. Very important because i havent been back there for a long, long, long, long time. And as a child i used to float my little boat on the pond there a little, a little boat that i used to sail round every time id mum or dad would take me out there. And it was always a place to look up to. Its got a lovely georgian buildings there and a Lovely Church and a beautiful village. Its blackheath, got everything and its classy and i came from the lower end. If you know what im saying. In a way i wont say where, but i came from the lower end. So to go up there, which it was, you had to go there, which it was, you had to 9 up there, which it was, you had to go up the hill to get to the heath. It was a very special occasion and i adored it. At Greenwich Park they have blackheath, the village. The whole thing was just so important to me growing up, and it was always a place to look up to. It was something to reach for and i believe in those things. I think if youre always reaching out for something or wanting to wanting to be part of that, you, it will help you in youn that, you, it will help you in your, in your life, we just had a little listen to your new song, two eyes streaming. You are still making music, arent you . Thats still something that you . Thats still something that you love all this time. Later oh, i love, i love writing, ellie.

Its always been writing, and it may be an area i neglected for quite some years, but, i love it, you neglected for quite some years, but, i love it , you know, to. But, i love it, you know, to. And that song was, particularly nice thing. It came as a surprise, i must say, because when you write songs, you never know. You dont know what how the public are going to receive the public are going to receive the song, you know, but it seems to gel with people. And i think maybe they they went through some of the things that i went through as a child, which was you know, separation from my from someone i love because it wasnt his fault. He had to go around training men. Theres me there with my little dads hat and my little, my dads bag and and my little, my dads bag and a Walking Stick as a as a rifle. But i adored him, and i couldnt get near him. I used to, i used to. I remember one time in capel curig where a running away from where the Little Cottage that we were in running a or at least a mile to where he was, and of course people were panicking. Where was this young child, you know, where had he gone . You know, where had he gone . You know, and id gone to try and find my father. And i think that a lot of a lot of youngsters and it happens today. I mean , it it happens today. I mean, it happens all the time, you know, people, you know, sometimes your parents have to go away because thats their job. So if youre thats theirjob. So if youre a submarine commander or youre, you know, youre working on an oil rig or whatever, its always that separation. And that song is a little thing of, you know, one day this, this will all end, ill be home. Im going to give you a big cuddle and, you know, its just just a, its just a, a warm song, its lovely.

It was actually really nice, wasnt it, really. Wasnt it, really. What a lovely memory to have. Right. Dont go anywhere because coming up, weve got some breaking news. Were going to be talking all right. Some breaking news for you this morning. Lets talk to our home and security editor, mark white. What have you got . Mark well, this is a rescue operation that is underway at goodwin sands, which is a notorious ten mile long sandbank. Off the kent coast near deal. Reports that a migrant boat with 50 people on board has run aground onto that sand bank, that large groups of migrants who were in the boat have left. The bolton are now standing on the sand bank. The tide has turned. So the area theyre on will be under water, in the minutes ahead , this rescue minutes ahead, this rescue operation is involving several lifeboats , the coastguard lifeboats, the coastguard helicopter is overhead. What were told is happening is that smaller rnli rigid inflatable boats are being used because they are shallower , obviously, they are shallower, obviously, in terms of their keel, theyre able to get up to the sand bank. Theyre taking , the migrants off theyre taking, the migrants off a few at a time and transferring them to larger lifeboats, so a worrying incident, no reports of any casualties at this stage, but that life, that raft , but that life, that raft, carrying those migrants has run aground on this, goodwin sands, sandbar bank. And it is one of four migrant boats that have made it into uk waters today. Weve had over the last couple of days , weather conditions just of days, weather conditions just about permitting, these illegal journeys across the channel and the people smugglers , true to the people smugglers, true to form of taking advantage of that, pushing these boats out. So four boats have come across into uk waters this morning, but one now at the centre of a dramatic rescue after managing to run aground on this sand bank off the kent coast incident. It is a reminder of just how dangerous this journey is. It was only on tuesday of this week when we had the deaths of five migrants in the channel yes, authorities on both sides of the channel are increasingly alarmed at what they are witnessing now in terms of these boats being crammed with ever more migrants. Yes, with ever more migrants. Yes, they are unsafe, flimsy vessels at the best of times that are given to burst at the scenes especially seems, especially when there are 20, 30, sometimes 50, 60 or 70 migrants on these boats coming across, and of course, theres the increasing violence on the other side of the channel as well, where migrants are actually fighting each other to get on these boats and are presenting themselves here in the uk as they land at dover with injuries, including stab wounds from this violence. But for the moment, the focus is on this rescue operation. As i say, one of the boats didnt make it to being picked up, run aground and now those migrants are being rescued, before that tide comes in, fully keep us up to date. But for now, thanks very much indeed. Now, at 10 00 this morning, ben and emily are here with saturday morning live, and theyre here in the studio to tell us all about it. Morning. You how are you feeling today . How are you feeling today . Im feeling really happy and pumped. Weve been very giggly this morning. I think saturday is going to be the whole day for everyone. Its going to be brilliant, its going to be good vibes and our show is going to be great as well. I heard there was a little bit of innuendo going on in your show. I didnt hear it myself. Do you . Do you . A little bit of naughtiness, a little bit of cheekiness, a bit of a naughty mood this morning, havent we . Oh, thats nice, isnt it . Because theres a lot of doom and gloom. Its nice to have a little bit of a joke, even if it is a bit of innuendo, yes , of course were innuendo, yes, of course were going to be talking about the king, the impact. Well, thats good news, family. That is lovely news for the nation. Lovely news for him , of course. Lovely news for him, of course. And were going to reveal what are we going to reveal, ben. So in the times this morning theres some great colour about how the kings been spending his time amid his recovery. So theres some great detail about what hes been up to and his hobbies. So were going to reveal, oh, dont read the times. Wait for us. Wait for us to tell you. And wait for us to tell you. And of course, were going to be talking a little bit about too, politics whether its been a good week for rishi sunak, lots of people seem to be saying hes had some good announcements. He got the rwanda bill through , got the rwanda bill through, weve got a National Insurance cut and lots of other little bits and pieces. Hes done some really good social media videos. His his onune social media videos. His his online content with the hardest geezen online content with the hardest geezer. Yes. Did you see that . So he did a he did a run from downing street through hyde park, past buckingham palace. And so on with the hardest geezen and so on with the hardest geezer, the lad who ran the length of africa. And on the way length of africa. And on the way they were chatting about he was being asked about, you know , being asked about, you know, your toughest day as pm, how do your toughest day as pm, how do you deal with the haters and so on and so on, and actually rishi made some nice comments about his faith, saying that in hinduism theres something called dharma which he tries to live by. So yeah, it was a really, i thought it was a nice piece of content and i was most impressed that he remained in breath. He was he was doing an interview and running at the same time. Hes there. I couldnt have done that. Body is my temple, isnt he . Oh, he eats very healthily. He does intermittent fasting. He hes very he doesnt drink alcohol. So there you go. Rishi sunak, the health guru and elsewhere, Civil Servants at the ons, they are striking because theyre being to told go into the office for two days a week. Should they be sacked and elsewhere. Shame. Shame. I know, two days a week. I know, two days a week. No, it sounds quite nice. No, it sounds quite nice. Oh, weve got some bits about infidelity. Oh, wow. If youre infidelity. Oh, wow. If youre unfaithful, you may not be unfaithful, you may not be unfaithful or disloyal in other parts of your life. So people who cheat will worry more about being disloyal to a colleague than they would about being disloyal to their partner. Yeah. Which is quite incredible. Its a survey showing that some people are more loyal to, say, their Football Club or brand of coffee than their partner, which is, im quite surprised at that. Very, very odd. Very, very odd. If youre a disloyal person, youd just be disloyal across the board. Well, my argument is if you cant be loyal to the one person that matters, how can you be loyal in any other . Apparently you can. Apparently you can. So there you can be. So there you can be. Years ago, hearing someone talk about some goal somewhere for their Football Club and said its the greatest moment of my life. And he was. It was a married man with three children. Oh, no. If thats the greatest moment of your life, somethings gone wrong. Oh, god. Its like a wedding speech. And its all about their Football Team or something. Well, youve got to brace yourself. You never know whats going to happen, emily. You never know whats going to happen. And ellie, who knows . Well, who knows what her what our partners will say at our wedding and just, just lastly, a little bit of showbiz , including little bit of showbiz, including declan rice, the arsenal and england footballer. His missus, his girlfriend has been cruelly trolled on social media in recent weeks and months because she just looks like a normal, beautiful girl. Shes not some sort of, you know, plastic wag. How they can be sometimes. And she looks lovely and she gets all this hate. Gets all this hate. Its not right, is it . Were out of time. Youtube. Well see you in just a few minutes. Is your weather .

Further south, some heavy rain then feeding into southern parts. As we go through this evening. So a pretty wet end to the day here and that rain. Then continuing to push further northwards overnight, feeding in across much of central southern england into some northern parts of england and perhaps into wales as well.
