But is public trust broken. 7 but is public trust broken . And from farm to fork . Gb and from farm to fork . Gb news gets an insiders take on the balmoral show. Thats Northern Irelands biggest agricultural event and a Royal Anniversary as today marks six years since prince harry and Meghan Markles wedding day in windsor. It comes as her suits co star says meghan is set for the white house after a murky start. For some of us this morning that should break up to give plenty of warm sunshine. Ill have all the details coming up. Have all the details coming up. Lovely to be with you this morning. Im anne diamond and im Ellie Costello, and this is breakfast on. Breakfast on. Gb news. I find it absolutely extraordinary that anyone is talking about the possibility of meghan being president of the united states, but then when you think about it, anythings possible nowadays , isnt it . Possible nowadays, isnt it . I would say never say never, because her, her suits co star says because of her advocacy for women and all of her charity work that she does, shes actually set for the white house, and she thinks its in the stars. But she will be president one day. I wonder if thats what she really wants. I think it probably i would say yes, that is probably what she wants. It looks as though that being ambitious, being an advocate for womens rights and going around making speeches here and there, is that enough experience of life and of politics to be the president. Is she popular enough in the us to, i dont know, president. Im not sure they need somebody exciting and glittery, dont they . They do. They need a woman. Shed bnng they need a woman. Shed bring glamour to the role, thats for sure. But prince harry would have to become american in order for her to be president. Right. I was reading this morning. Yes, he would have to become american. So it would be more than taken on. Yes , that would be difficult, yes, that would be difficult, does he even matter if she is president . Hed be first man. Hed be superfluous. Yeah, well , the first yeah, well, the first gentleman. First gentleman, they say, dont they . Yeah. That would be interesting, wouldnt it . Very interesting. The first female president of the us. Potentially, yes , let us know potentially, yes, let us know what you think. I just think its daft, but its so daft. It could happen. It could i say , never say it could i say, never say neven it could i say, never say never. In us politics, anything could happen. Its amazing to think that its their sixth wedding anniversary. Its flown by, hasnt it . Its flown by, hasnt it . Its flown by, hasnt it . It really has flown by. Yeah, a lot of people didnt give it six years, did they . But theyve lasted this long. They have. And two beautiful children. Yeah, yeah. And a move to the us. Yeah. And stepping down as senior royals i mean a lot has happened. Harry becoming an american citizen. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No he isnt an american citizen. Yes he is. Hes got citizen. Yes he is. Hes got american citizenship. It must be dual must be dual, a lot has happenedin must be dual, a lot has happened in six years. Be interesting to see what what the next few years brings. Well, they say a weeks a long time in politics. Anything can happen, its interesting as well, talking about labours plans for the nhs, i think we all welcome the idea of something being done, but is this it . Do you work for the this it . Do you work for the nhs . D0 this it . Do you work for the nhs . Do you fancy what wes streeting has been saying about nhs staff working weekends and evenings . Its part of their pledge to deliver an extra 40,000 appointments a week. Yes. Wes streeting also promised to protect whistleblowers and cut the nhs reliance on Migrant Workers. Well, political commentator jack rowlett joins us now. A very good morning to you, jack. Its good to hear some plans, afoot for the nhs. But i just wonder how these plans are going to go down with nhs staff who already feel very hard worked and underpaid. And underpaid. Absolutely. And i think thats why its so important thats why its so important that theres a focus on training new staff as well. And, you know, weve seen some of that with the focus on reduction, on the reliance , of the migrant the reliance, of the migrant workforce. I think this is a its a good idea. Workforce. I think this is a its a good idea. So its going its a good idea. So its going to involve a focus on so called high intensity theatres. And theyre being used in some parts of the nhs at the moment, but not across the board. And they can actually increase the number of surgeries that can be done by up to four times, by basically making it more efficient. So you making it more efficient. So you have patients being prepped while other patients are being operated on. And yeah, as you say, theyre going to be done, in evenings and weekends. Now, i think it also comes down to pay as well. And we know that they are going to be paying staff extra to do this work. But i think whats interesting is you know, its going to cost £i. I know, its going to cost £1. 1 billion a year, and i dont think its that realistic that labour keeps saying that their policy pledges are going to be funded by, you know, cracking down on non doms or cracking down on non doms or cracking down on non doms or cracking down on on tax dodgers. You know, it seems like every labour policy is going to be funded by that. And im just not sure thats realistic. I think also we need to be a bit bolder. You know, its all well and good saying that theyre going to create these 40,000 new appointments and that this is going to speed up surgeries, but actually its access to other parts of the nhs that people are really struggling with as well, whether thats Mental Health or, you know, just not being able to get an appointment with your gp. So i think we need to be being much more ambitious and actually looking at wholesale system change, really, of healthcare. You know, lets look to australia, for example, where they have a, you know, tax breaks for private Health Provisions to encourage people that can afford to pay to do so. And the state doesnt actually run hospitals, instead, patients can choose where they get their health care from , and the health care from, and the government will foot the bill. And that increases choice and increases competition. So if we look at other Healthcare Systems around the world that work, they work with different systems that involve both public and private sector involvement. And i think whilst labours plans, you know, these policies do sound good, im not sure about the funding proposals. And i think there needs to be a lot more ambition if were going to solve the crumbling, you know, healthcare crisis that weve got in this country. I mean, wes streeting is certainly very confident. Hes saying, this plan is so good that the conservative government did a smash and grab on it. Yeah. Well, i mean, hes going to say that, isnt he given this, given these the Labour Shadow Health secretary, i just i Labour Shadow Health secretary, ijust i think, Labour Shadow Health secretary, i just i think, you know, Labour Shadow Health secretary, ijust i think, you know, it is i just i think, you know, it is a good idea. It is a good idea, but the funding, you know, we are already seeing that the next government is going to have, you know, enormous financial pressure on it. There isnt much money to spend. Every policy money to spend. Every policy that labour is coming up with, its saying its going to fund by cracking down. More on tax dodgers. There are only so many tax dodgers around, and if it was so easy to crack down on them, im sure the government would already have done so. So actually we need to be facing up to the challenge. You know , we to the challenge. You know, we have an ageing population. We have an ageing population. We have more pressure on the Health Service. You know, a really good plan, a really top plan would involve wholesale system change and moving more towards a mixture of private and Public Sector involvement. And i think only labour can really do that, because if the tories tried to do that, they would be accused of, you know, trying to end universal health care of, you know, privatising the nhs. But laboun know, privatising the nhs. But labour, as the party of the nhs, they actually have the room to come up with something more ambitious because people trust them on health care policy. And i think the fact that theyre not doing so is a little disappointing. Disappointing. Jack, i found it quite interesting wes streeting his comments on Migrant Workers within the nhs, he says that weve been overreliant on them and describes it as problematic. Sukh. Well, i think you know, Migrant Workers do an incredibly important job in the nhs and i would be reluctant to , you know, would be reluctant to, you know, cut that or throw that out straight away. But absolutely , straight away. But absolutely, we do need to increase the domestic proportion of nhs staff. And that comes through having an actual strategy on on training and recruitment and pay as well , i training and recruitment and pay as well, i think we have taken our eyes off the ball across sort of lots of areas actually, of domestic training for lots of lots of different sectors, so im not sure its, its, you know, really any reliable system needs a mixture of both. We need to be looking at bringing in people where we need them, but also, yeah, training people domestically to. Absolutely. Jack welch good to see you this morning. Thank you very much. Well, let us know what you think of that. If youve just come in from a long shift overnight in a hospital or somewhere, Something Like that, youre already working , youre already working, extraordinary hours and maybe very long hours. What would you think . Is it how on earth is it going to be possible to create even more appointments, to get more doctors doing longer hours, nurses, you, i mean, you name it , or is it, do you think i mean, the buildings are there, the beds are there or. I dont know, are they . Well, the nightingale hospitals are built, werent they. Yeah. But i guess thats they. Yeah. But i guess thats the staffing issue. Yeah its how you staff the nightingale hosphal i hosphal i dont know whether. But theyre not. Theyre not running. Theyve gone away havent they really. Theyve sort of come to nothing. So i dont know how theyre going to dont know how theyre going to do it. But something needs to be done anyway. If you think its feasible or maybe you really think its rubbish, do get in touch with your views, dont you . How do we do it again . Gb news. Com your say thank you gbnews. Com. Youll say there it is. Youll say there it is. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Yes. Do you get in touch. And now boxing history has been made after Ukraines Oleksandr Usyk became the first person ever to beat world wide champion tyson fury. It really was quite a night. Aidan magee was up all night watching it. I cant see how he can have had any sleep because what time did the fight finish, i well, i what time did the fight finish, iwell, i got what time did the fight finish, i well, i got to bed at about quarter two and my alarm went at 3 00. Oh, goodness. Im feeling it a bit today. But you know what . It was just so, so, so worthwhile. And thats why hes so grateful for this job. Because i might had it not been for the job, i might not have stayed up and watched it. But im so glad i did because they went the full length, didnt they . Full date . Yeah, i thought, i thought they might. I didnt think either. You predicted that. You predicted that. Yeah, i thought fury would take on a split decision. It should not have been a split decision. It should have been a unanimous decision on usyk. Dont get me wrong. There was still tyson fury was well in the fight and could easily have won it a certain turns of the fight, but overall it was his night. Without question. He was giving away six inches in height, significant reach disadvantage as well, two stone in weight. So it just proves that for those people who are uninitiated into boxing, its a lesson that the big doesnt always beat the small you see overnight, obviously. I mean, its typical boxing, isnt it . Theyre all having a say, overnight fury has been saying, oh, it only went to six in the end because hes ukrainian and his country. Nonsense, nonsense. I mean, it was i mean, i had it scored at around about. I was being as generous as i could and, and as, as subjective as i could. I scored it probably 7 to 5 in favour of it. You see, now the narrative of the fight was that usyk came out quick, came out fast. Thats what he does. And then in the middle of the fight, then in the middle of the fight, the body shots came in and from from from fury. Thats how how whenever usyk has struggled in the past, it doesnt happen often. Its from being from the shots to the body. Hes not hes not a natural heavyweight. He came for the cruiserweight route. He was an undisputed champion at cruiserweight level. So youre talking these guys have this isnt this isnt flyweights of featherweight. This isnt like a minor weight adjustment. This is two three stone. Were talking. Yeah. These are giants of guys arent they. They are. Well particularly particularly tyson fury. But if you consider that hes hes risen up the ranks. Hes become undisputed at heavyweight level as well. This is an extraordinary achievement. And anyone who saw him fight and dispatch Anthony Joshua with relative comfort over two fights should not have been surprised at what unfolded last night. At what unfolded last night. Dont get me wrong, tyson fury could easily win the second fight. Theres going to be a rematch in october. Thats part of the clause, part of the contract. They have to refight. Yes they do. Now, isnt there a problem over whether usyks jaw was broken . Well, hes on the i understand hes been treated, fury said. I think i broke his jaw. Yeah, quite possibly. But then hes been treated in hospital now. We dont know that for certain. Weve only seen that on rumours, but im going to get some. He wasnt there for the sort of victory lap or whatever. No he was, he was actually quite stone faced when he was, when, when he was announced as the winner actually. Well, if hes, if hes got a broken jaw, thats why i know were speaking to Gareth Davies later on. So hes in riyadh. Were going to get some updates on that. But it depends what. Because its a worldwide wide fight. You get lots of conjecture. Its hard to know whats whats actually going on. But nonetheless it was an extraordinary, battle. So how do you think tyson fury is feeling . Hes never been beaten before, no he hasnt. Thats how its a new experience for him. But hes well capable of bouncing back from it. I mean, this is i mean, you could have lots of people in this country felt that fury would win. But then i said it yesterday. Jude mckenzie said it yesterday. Jude mckenzie said it yesterday as well. George groves said it early in the week. Anyone who understands boxing or not, anyone who understands, but a lot of people i spoke to or heard earlier in the week said that they tipped to win. I said it was going to be a split decision. Its funny, but i changed my mind. By the time i left the building. I said to the security guy upstairs, i said, i think its going to be usyk. He had to get that in. Yeah, i know, but look, he could he could win the fight again. Yeah, of course he should. But but styles make fights and these are about as different as you can possibly be. But we were talking yesterday about injuries because fury. Was there any sign that he was vulnerable. Yes where that gash had been on his forehead. I thought there was late in the fight. I thought it could have been a broken nose as well. Earlier we werent quite sure, but he was covering. He was covering quite well. We thought that early on in the fight we judged by his stance whether he was he was nervous about being vulnerable to that. We didnt see that. Nonetheless, usyk attacked him pretty well. But the middle stage of the fight, probably round 4 or 5, six and seven, definitely tyson furys. He took control of the fight and thats what great champions do. And it could have happened to either of them. Yes, tyson fury took the rest of the narrative away from from usyk in the from the fourth onwards. But what character to then take it back again to see it through to the end. And there was a standing countin end. And there was a standing count in the counts in the ninth as well. Saved by the bell. This was tyson fury, so it could have ended there if hed secured a knockout. Extraordinary but towards the end, tyson fury knew. This is why. This is why the comments last night saying i won the fight. Nonsense. He went for the knockout in the final round and because he knew that was his only chance of winning, he knew what he knew what was coming. And you could tell by his body language in the ring afterwards that he wasnt confident. He knew hed lost the fight. So to say, to say that i won the fight, i dont know whats gone wrong here. Thats just to sell tickets for the next one. Thats to generate interest for the rematch. But look at the when. How soon will they have to do the rematch . Its october, right. Its october, right. So youve got a gash. Yes. And a possible broken nose on tyson fury. And youve got a possible broken jaw on usyk. Well, well just well mission. Are they going to be in in october . Itd be fun wouldnt it . No no. Well look they i mean thats thats enough time to, to recover from those kinds of injuries. And also we dont know the extent of them anyway. I mean, we saw we saw blood yesterday and so we werent we were kind of guessing what the injury would be. Dont forget the boxers job in the ring is to protect himself when that when that happens, but also to disguise the injury to the opponent. Now what was interesting was that we thought tyson fury would use his weight to lean on on on usyk. He did that to a degree, but where hes wearing usyk out in the middle of the area of the fight is where, because he feints so much, usyk was reacting to every feint and he was using up energy and i thought he was going to be gassed, i really did, but it just ebbed and flowed and went and went to and from. And i just thought there were i couldnt see from the seventh round onwards how easy it was going to wrestle back. The situation. But he did that and it was a magnificent fight. And you know what . Just more generally, ellie boxing needed this. Weve had so much, so much. Why dont we see this fight . Why are the broadcasters getting involved . Why are the managers, why the promoters saying this x, y and z . Were not seeing the fights that we want to see. And thats why weve seen ufc and thats why weve seen ufc and thats why weve seen these these catch fights, these catch fights kind of take the take. Steal the thunder of boxing really, which is the traditional noble art of the sport. And boxing reaffirmed itself last night. We havent seen a fight like that in quite a few years. And you know what . We see so much hype around these fights and it often they dont deliver. That was massive hype deliver. That was massive hype yesterday. And yet the actual contest did more than delivered. It more than delivered. That was something that will live long in the memory. And im pleased i the memory. And im pleased i stayed up. Oh well done. Oh well done. Good. Im very pleased that youre here. Thank you. You cant go and have a kip yet because we want to talk to you more about it. Not even 20 minutes. Not even 20 minutes. Youll be very busy today, adrian. Yeah, thank you very much indeed. Youll be with us throughout the morning. 6 17 already.

Now the largest agricultural food event in Northern Ireland has returned this week. Yes. The balmoral show ended yesterday after drawing thousands of visitors from across the uk and from the repubuc across the uk and from the republic of ireland. And we sent our Northern Ireland reporter, Dougie Beattie, along to find out how the Agricultural Sector is getting. On. Getting. On. When the country comes to town , everyone must look their town, everyone must look their best and neighbouring farms join together for this yearly event. Together for this yearly event. We help each other out. Whatever if machinery is needed, its shared, it helps need it. Its shared at the end of a phone. And do you ever take advice from him . Of course. Never live longer. Of course. Never live longer. See, the most. See, the most. Agricultural shows such as this arent just about having a good day out. It gives us a real chance to take the temperature of the agri food sector. Chance to take the temperature of the agri food sector. Here we have farmers, which is the raw material. We have food material. We have food producers, food suppliers and manufacturers to the industry. Manufacturers to the industry. Michele shirlow, heads up food ni and has noticed a growing interest in Northern Ireland produce food and i put together the food and drink pavilion at balmoral show and its all about promoting local food and drink from Northern Ireland. This year we see a buoyancy that we havent noticed for several years, real interest from, retail buyers and hospitality buyers wanting to come to balmoral to source new products and a really great interest from the public as well. Heavy machinery is a big part of farming, and local manufacturers have had to adapt to new regulations, as well as rising input costs. John pearce, of made in britain points out the importance of a Strong Manufacturing base. British manufacturing is vital to the british economy, and the sector has been through some tough times and weve all been through some tough times. The economy has really been had some some dramatic ups and downs, but manufacturing as a sector is vital to the economy because making things locally and buying things that are made locally is good for the environment, its good for society, its good for the economy, its good for everyone. Economy, its good for everyone. After such a wet winter. President of the Ulster Farmers Union, william irvine, is concerned about the damage to the winter crops and what it will mean for the incoming year. Its been an absolutely horrendous winter, a last autumn, the winter sales couldnt get planted. The autumn started too early for the livestock producers. Spring was even worse. A the ground that wasnt planted last autumn. People had hoped to put it in spnng people had hoped to put it in spring cereals. That couldnt happen until far too late. A Livestock Farmers were in the position of empty silos and falls, a manure tanks , slurry falls, a manure tanks, slurry tanks. So and ten months of wet weather it it it has an effect on morale as well as all the stresses of managing the farm. The shoe doors have a lighter side and it gives a chance for both young and old to get up close to Northern Irelands largest industry. Largest industry. And ive been coming for six years. Whats your favourite animals, the sheep. Because just the way the sheep shearing contest goes , i just think its contest goes, i just think its really, really good. Come every year to the balmoral show, which is fantastic show and its local and they have herefords on show as well. Today. Today. Today. Dougie beattie gb news at the balmoral show. Balmoral show. Oh, eu when i were a young reporter i did so many agricultural shows. Half of them were always under an umbrella with wellies on because it always seemed to rain, but i used to love those agricultural shows. The one that i like going to, to actually see it happening is the sheep shearing. Because they are such experts. They can they are such experts. They can they can shear a sheep.

Hes you like somebody with a bit of character. Hes very charismatic. Hes not too polished and hes got a sense of humour and frankly, he is quite self deprecating. Self deprecating. Hes funny. Hes funny. Yeah, hes very funny and hes also genuine, i think. I mean, when he did his car program , that was the right turn program, that was the right turn off for me. You didnt like that, did you know . But you like it when hes with the animal, but with the animals. I mean, the guys a human being. Its absolutely glorious. If you havent seen it, its definitely worth watching. Yeah, ive heard that from lots and lots of people. The latest series is are. I wont tell you what happens, but its just brilliant. Well, there you go. Thats our homework for this weekend. We need to be watching clarksons farm. It does make a difference if men are nice to animals, i think. Yeah let us know what you think. Yeah.

They sort of look like red setters ish labradors ish. Oh theyve got loads of energy and hes always telling them to sit or come back or whatever, and they just take no notice of him at all. So they rule the room. So they rule the room. But theyve got an enormous farm to run around on. Oh, its just lovely. Oh, it makes you feel good. Should we look at the weather now . Katherine chalk. A brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on. Gb news. Good morning and welcome to your gb news weather update from the met office. A murky start for some of us, but theres going to be plenty of warm sunshine around. Perhaps just the odd isolated shower. So through this morning, a murky start for some, especially across central and southeastern england, that cloud should generally break up by mid morning. Cloudier across parts of scotland, especially along that east coast where we hold on to quite a lot of low cloud. But elsewhere, plenty of sunshine on offer. Perhaps the odd shower developing, especially across parts of the south west , but otherwise it is south west, but otherwise it is going to be feeling very warm in that sunshine with highs up to 24, possibly 25 degrees, but feeling much cooler across scotland and especially down that eastern coast of North Eastern england. So taking a look into this evening, plenty of late evening sunshine to end the weekend, the odd shower possible across devon and cornwall, but most places are staying dry , perhaps a few staying dry, perhaps a few showers developing across dumfries and galloway and for parts of scotland, but further west. A dry evening. Parts of scotland, but further west. A dry evening. A lot of west. A dry evening. A lot of low cloud, though still lingering, especially across eastern parts. Thats where its going to be feeling cooler throughout much of sunday. And then as we go into the evening, very a dry picture is on offer. Low cloud once again though, coming in from the north sea and moving its way inland to give a murky start. Moving its way inland to give a murky start. But for east, for western parts it is going to be turning a little bit chillier, especially in any rural parts. But otherwise holding up at around 10 or 11 degrees to start monday morning. So that does leave a lot of low cloud around once again to start monday morning. So a bit of a murky start for rush hour. But that low cloud should lift and break and burn its way back towards coastal areas to leave another largely fine and dry day. A few showers will bubble up across parts of Northern Ireland, but otherwise temperatures around 20, possibly up to 22 degrees. That warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on.

It is. I bet youre really difficult to buy for. Oh, no, my girly girl. She is. Any thoughts . Keep them coming in privately, though, please. 636 now britain is going to co host a world gathering in seoul next week for pivotal talks on al seoul next week for pivotal talks on a safety. Yes, well, it comes after a successful summit at Bletchley Park last year. Yeah well, the chairman for the british computer society, Rashik Parmar , joins us now. What do parmar, joins us now. What do you make of it . Rashik i think its brilliant that were actually making progress here. You know, a is a part of everybodys life now. When you when you go look at somewhere like theres an ai when you go look at somewhere like theres an a for that, theres, theres 12,000, a tools out there, supporting 15,000 jobs. Its got tremendous opportunity to make a positive impact on society and help solve some of those societal issues. But of course, i mean , the whole but of course, i mean, the whole point of this sort of seminar or whatever it is this meeting, is to try and iron out what the dangers are, and then, i suppose, try and get everybody to agree , but thats never going to agree, but thats never going to agree, but thats never going to be possible. Is it . I mean, inventors, code writers , people inventors, code writers, people who specialise in these things are always going to be one ahead, going to want to be one ahead, going to want to be one ahead of their competitors. So there is going to be no control. There is going to be no control. So the controls really come in two ways right. Actually three ways. But fundamentally the first thing we need to have is the professionals need to be held to a law, a set of practice of their ethical jul theyre accountable and theyre held to account. And you know, organisations like the bcs are absolutely key in helping do some of that. But at the same time, you also need to understand what the risks are, and you need to have assurance techniques to go and measure against those risks. And thats why work with people like ucas or the, tech will be absolutely keen in taking the learnings from from those experts. And weve got we got 75 experts from 30 countries working together. 30 countries working together. Its the first time weve got this broad range of International Collaboration on an issue which is to critical our society. But youve got to remember, there are there are bad actors out there. And as you say, you cant you cant legislate against bad actors. You saw what happened last week with the deepfakes that that convinced people are up to transfer £25 million to somebody, those deepfakes were somebody, those deepfakes were so realistic that an employer, arab was convinced that it was their bosses asking them about transfer. So theres there are real risks out there. Its not the ai itself. Its what humanity does with that al, and its how do we put structure in place. And we can build tools to go and spot that. So that deepfake, if we had some tools to go and spot that deepfake to realise it was a deepfake before somebody was convinced to go and transfer that money, wed have been a much better place. But we dont have that today. And so coming out of the work at seoul accord would be a range of measures and techniques and tools that can help us build the safety tools to support the safe use of ai. And do you think that is one of the reasons why britain, why rishi sunak, is so set on being on the front foot with all of this wanting to be, you know, at the forefront of ai and its development so it doesnt fall into the hands of bad actors. Absolutely. You know, uk has got a tremendous experience and a credibility. You look at the a credibility. You look at the British Standards Organisation thats well respected around the world, and we work closely with iso and other International Bodies to build those standards. We can lead by example here. If you look at the work that michael moeen ali is doing in the city of london, his work is, you know, through the walbrook accord, hes setting out making london the kind of real example of , ethical london the kind of real example of, ethical use of ai in financial services. So theres lots of great examples, lots of things that we should be very proud of in making sure that we lead the world by example. Its not just talk. This is what were actually doing to make a difference. Difference. And weve all got to educate ourselves as well, to not be taken in by it. Thank you so much for talking to us. Well see how that goes on. Rashik parmar, thank you. Yeah. I mean, parmar, thank you. Yeah. I mean, if anyone tries or if anything on your laptop or whatever tries to talk you into transferring money, i say dont until youve spoken to a human being. I think thats very good advice. I was listening to a podcast last night, which i thought was quite interesting on. I wasnt actually on al, but they touched on al and they were saying, dont be afraid of it, because ten years ago, five years ago, you couldnt find a video editor unless you were in a tv studio. Now, 14 year olds, you could ask any 14 year old and they could cut you off a video and make it look really professional. They were like, ai, this is what this person was saying. I we exactly the same way. Were scared of it now and were cautious and there are risks associated, as rashik just pointed out, but but the generation thats coming after us will just be so fluent in it. Yeah. Theres nothing to be afraid of, is what they were saying. Let us know what you think. Gbnews. Com yoursay. Right. Well lets get back down to sort of good old british bafics down to sort of good old british basics. The bells at Beverley Minster are undergoing major restoration for the First Time Since 1901. Yes , the work has put one of yes, the work has put one of the ten bells out of action for the ten bells out of action for the last five weeks. But the repairs are set to be completed just in time for the bells to ring out for the service today. Service today. Yes, and a wedding i was heanng yes, and a wedding i was hearing as well. Oh, lovely. What a lucky wedding and lucky pair. Well, our yorkshire and humber reporter anna riley has the story. The bell ringers at Beverley Minster sound a welcome to the town before major services. But town before major services. But town before major services. But to preserve this british tradition, major bell restoration work was needed. Some of the parts were starting to wear out. Theyve beenin starting to wear out. Theyve been in use for 123 years, and there was some little problems sneaking in, but the main problem was the headstock. The gudgeon which the bell pivots on had come loose in the headstock. The stuff that youll see going up at was last down here in 1901. So its been a way for the last four weeks, having new sections done and as much 1901 stuff as possible is being kept. So itll stay in use hopefully for another 120 years. The repaired structure has to be winched 120ft up to the minsters belfry , and theres minsters belfry, and theres only five bell hanging Companies Left to carry out this unique work. Were refurbishing a lot of the fittings. This is one of the bow wheels and where weve put new rims on them. The old rims had got a bit rotten, the nails that held them together was all rusting, so they were falling apart. Now a days we put everything together with stainless steel screws so hopefully it will last longer. We keep preserving our old churches all over the country, unfortunately less and less people use the churches now on a sunday, but we still keep maintaining them here. The renovation has been to preserve faith along with heritage. The temple here passed by many people as the finest peal of ten bells ever cast, and they have special significance to various people. But if we lose our heritage, then we dont have anything. But also, bells are a anything. But also, bells are a sign of the Christian Church and calling people to prayer. Thanks to the repairs, the bells can keep ringing here for many more years to come. Anna many more years to come. Anna riley gb news beverley. Riley gb news beverley. Its a wonderful sound, isnt it . I was just about to say. Isnt that one of the best sounds . Oh, it really is. I love it with a sunny morning and seeing a couple come out. If theyve got married to bells. Is that wonderful . Bells. Is that wonderful . What makes you yell at the telly . We were just saying. Its so funny. I was im turning into my auntie. My great aunt lil used to yell at the television if anyone on the telly said something that was grammatically incorrect or Something Like that, she would yell back and i do the same. And we just did it for less and less people. Less for less and less people. Less and less should be fewer and fewer people. We have one of those Little Things that gets you. Yeah, it gets our goat. So weve got that in common. And, now, do you stay with us still to come . Were going to be going through the stories in the next. Welcome back to breakfast. I was waiting because you said youd got a nice view. Oh, i did, yes. Let me dig it out. Here we are. And we were talking about the duke of westminster and his wedding, and are so rich that they have a strict no gift policy. They say theyve got everything money can buy. And huggetts been in touch saying anne and ellie, my late husband and i requested no presents at our wedding. Instead, we asked for donations for pact Animal Sanctuary here in norfolk. Are i thought that was lovely. Yeah, thats nice to see. Yeah, thats nice to see. There you go. Keep those views coming in. Gb news. Com your say right now though were going to have a quick whiz through the papers. Weve got emma woolf and andy jones with us. Shall we have a look at the front pages or not. Yeah. The sunday times is leading with jeremy hunt saying that its time for justice for the victims of the contaminated blood scandal. Well talk a bit more about that. Yes. The telegraph reports on labours plans to make nhs staff work evenings and weekends as part of a drive to deliver 40,000 more appointments. The observer leads on the archbishop of canterbury urging keir starmer to scrap the two child limit on child benefit payments. The express reports on business secretary Kemi Badenoch urging firms to end woke madness and get back to the job at hand. Well, as i said, emma woolf and andy jones are here with us to have a look. Were going to start off emma with the tainted blood scandal, because the more you read about it, the more you just cant. You cant. I know, its just unbelievable. It is unbelievable that this was going on in the 1970s and 19805, was going on in the 1970s and 1980s, and that still decades later, you know, victims and their families have not been compensated. Did you know once every four days someone dies as a result of this scandal . Still as a result of the tainted blood disease case, there is anyone watching now who doesnt know what the story is about because frankly, its been going on so long that it has sort of gone under the radar. No. Well, actually, until a couple of weeks ago, im ashamed to say i didnt know much about this. And i think most people are hearing about it now, but its a bit like the post office scandal. It was never big enough. It was never big. People it was never sexy enough to really get the, the attention it deserved. So around 30,000 haemophiliacs or transfusion recipients were infected with disease ridden blood, mostly hiv and hepatitis c. Often the blood was bought from america , from drug addicts, from america, from drug addicts, from america, from drug addicts, from prisoners, from people who really shouldnt have been donating blood, to put it mildly, and its been called the worst treatment disaster in history. And in so many cases, they knew that they were giving them. Thats the thing that really gets me the successive complete accident cover up, i know, and that because they were haemophiliacs, you imagine these little children. I was at school with a haemophiliac and all we knew in the playground was if he falls over and cuts his knee, you know, the rest of us put a plaster on, he goes straight to hospital. So these were children often. And they lived many of them lived on, lived, you know, until the into their 40s, 50s. And many of them infect other people because the nature of things like hiv, you may infect lovers , partners, whatever, you lovers, partners, whatever, you dont actually know. So its terrible. But on monday we have the public. So tomorrow we have the public. So tomorrow we have the publication of the final report into the tainted blood scandal. And well, in summary , scandal. And well, in summary, its hoped that finally, jeremy hunt, the chancellor , will be hunt, the chancellor, will be kind of coming out with this £10 billion, £10 billion of compensation thats needed to somehow compensate these people, but its no surprise that governments have passed the buck and passed the buck and passed the buck and lets be honest, the buck and lets be honest, the conservatives have been trying not to pay this out right now because theyre heading towards an election and they have zero cash left. So now, andy, i have to explain, has got a froggy throat this morning because hes been too much exciting sport. Yeah. Youve been yelling at the telly. Neither a tyson fury or west brom one for me this weekend. Did you stay up to watch the fight last night . We battled hard. Did you. Not we battled hard. Did you. Not im not. Im clearly not as professional as i did, but i watched i did i watched that you ive been yelling. Youve been screaming. Youve been screaming. This was mainly friday night as west brom lost the play offs. But i watched i watched a quite a bit of the fight last night. Didnt manage all of it. It. I dont look as good as aiden on it because hes, hes hes the fountain of youth. But what do you want to talk about. Should we talk about labours plans for the nhs . Of course. People working evenings and weekends. Yeah, absolutely. Just to make it linked to the first story. This is Shadow Health secretary wes streeting. He says that anybody who suppresses a whistleblower will be sacked. Any nhs whistleblowers who try and come forward, they obviously had a problem with the tainted blood scandal. I think weve had whistleblowers involved, obviously the lucy letby murders earlier on in the year, whistleblowers being silenced. The nhs are going to wes streeting says hes going to be asking or telling nhs staff to be working weekends and evenings, this is to row back on, the horrendous appointment backlog and a £1 billion drive to try and cut 40,000, to try and create 40,000 extra appointments. But its quite interesting. Theres lots and lots of other things in this, this story with wes streeting, which is by our own telegraph. Camilla tominey, in the telegraph today, he also talks about hospitals having to share staff. He says one of the new drives is that theyre going to try and share staff between different hospitals. Some are obviously very well kept, others are absolutely crisis points. If you are an nhs member of staff, not only will you be working evenings, not only be working weekends, you might have to be travelling from region to region to work for different hospitals. To work for different hospitals. They also talks about the infuriating everyday problems that nhs staff have. Hes been doing a lot of ear to the ground staff listening to people in the nhs, he said. Its an absolute nightmare. They said they very often have to sort of scan each others handwritten notes into machines. Machines dont then pick up their information because its handwritten, and then this obviously has potential crisis with, you know, information, which is obviously life saving , being perhaps life saving, being perhaps misinterpreted, but lots of measures from wes streeting. But interesting to see how many of his nhs staff who many will vote labouh his nhs staff who many will vote labour, or whether theyll be too pleased about working weekends and how many will be willing to do it. Thats the other thing. Thats the other thing. The problem with this one is its not as simple as it seems, because often the things that are on this backlog, this massive backlog, are things like operation. Therefore you need surgeons, consultants, you need operating theatres to open. Its not like just opening your local gp surgery, asking them to blast through lots of evening and weekend appointments, which is feasible. This is different. This is kind of systemic hospital, you know it isnt. You know, you need a certain amount of people to run an operating theatre or to run a certain machine or whatever. So its going to be hard. He also says interesting things about our overreliance on Migrant Workers and how, you know, we are just we are not only draining the third world countries of their of their , you know, theyre of their, you know, theyre having health care crises too. But were overreliant on importing people in and that we need to train our own, though he is really putting the work in to try and get his head around the problem a bit more flesh on the bones as well. Finally. But i just think all of these things they have lots of yes, but attached to them , emma, lets attached to them, emma, lets take a look at the mail on sunday. The front page. This is sunday. The front page. This is about the 80th anniversary of d day. But there are problems. There are, so the d day landings or, sorry, the d day commemorations are on june the 6th in normandy and many critics are saying we simply dont have the armed forces. We dont have the armed forces. We dont have the armed forces. We dont have the how are the paras going to put on a good display . Well, apparently the paras wanted to do an enormous display, an enormous display because of course, it was the biggest ever parachute drop eveh biggest ever parachute drop ever. Yes, the day before or the night before d day. Yes. And so they sort of wanted to give us all a flavour of the hugeness of it. But the mail on sunday are claiming we only have one plane. Weve basically retired the hercules fleet. They were hercules fleet. They were scrapped to save money. The airbus fleet, which are ready to replace them, are not ready yet , replace them, are not ready yet, so we can only drop about 100 paras. Well i mean, the mail on sunday are claiming weve only got one plane. I think that is a bit of an exaggeration, but its being blamed on basically shortsighted cutting. Theyre not blaming the raf, theyre blaming shortsighted cuts by the by the government and people are saying, you know, this lack of aircraft is an insult to those who made the ultimate sacrifice. And we do put on an amazing display. And weve heard that the king and queen are going to be there on june the 6th. So it does seem a real shame that it does. Emma and andy, thank you very much indeed. Lets take a look at the weather now, shall we . With catherine chalk. A brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on. Gb news. Good morning and welcome to your gb news weather update from the met office. A murky start for some of us, but theres going to be plenty of warm sunshine around. Perhaps just the odd isolated shower. So through this morning, a murky start for some, especially across central and southeastern england, that cloud should generally break up by mid morning. Cloudier across parts of scotland, especially along that east coast where we hold on to quite a lot of low cloud. But elsewhere, plenty of sunshine on offer. Cloud. But elsewhere, plenty of sunshine on offer. Perhaps cloud. But elsewhere, plenty of sunshine on offer. Perhaps the sunshine on offer. Perhaps the odd shower developing, especially across parts of the south west, but otherwise it is going to be feeling very warm in that sunshine with highs up to 24, possibly 25 degrees, but feeling much cooler across scotland and especially down that eastern coast of North Eastern england. So taking a look into this evening, plenty of late evening sunshine to end the weekend. The odd shower possible across devon and cornwall, but most places are staying dry, perhaps a few showers developing across dumfries and galloway and for parts of scotland, but further west. A dry evening. A lot of low cloud, though still lingering, especially across eastern parts. Thats where its going to be feeling cooler throughout much of sunday and then as we go into the evening, very a dry picture is on offer. Low cloud once again though, coming in from the north sea and moving its way inland give a murky start. But for east for western parts it is going to be turning a little bit chillier, especially in any rural parts, but otherwise holding up at around 10 or 11 degrees to start monday morning. So that does monday morning. So that does leave a lot of low cloud around once again to start monday morning. So a bit of a murky start for rush hour. But that low cloud should lift and break. And burn its way back towards coastal areas to leave another largely fine and dry day. Few showers will bubble up across parts of Northern Ireland, but otherwise temperatures around 20, possibly up to 22 degrees. That warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. Good morning. Its 7 00 on sunday, the 19th of may. Today, an nhs crackdown. Perhaps. An nhs crackdown. Perhaps. Labour promised to fix the crumbling Health Service by making staff work evenings and weekends. Weekends. We will cut nhs waiting times with 40,000 more appointments each week. At evenings and each week. At evenings and weekends. Paid for by cracking down on tax dodgers and non dom loopholes. Health care for the many paid for by the few. And my goodness, history was made in riyadh last night. Yes, it was billed as the dust up in the desert. What we saw was an all time classic. Oleksandr usyk emerged victorious against tyson fury on a split decision in saudi to become the first ever four belt undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. Gareth davies joins us from riyadh just a few minutes from now. Clean water at last. But thousands in devon receive word that they no longer need to boil their water. But is public trust broken . Broken . And from farm to fork . Gb and from farm to fork . Gb news gets an insiders take on the balmoral show. Thats Northern Irelands biggest agricultural event , and a royal agricultural event, and a Royal Anniversary is today marks six years since prince harry and Meghan Markles wedding day in windsor.

Ill have all the details coming up. Good morning to you. Good morning to you. Im Ellie Costello and im anne diamond, and this is breakfast on gb news. Lots of you getting in touch on nhs plans from labour. Maggies been in touch saying hospitals in our region already share staff.

Where are you, already happened. Where are you, maggie . Do let us know. But its already happening. It would already happening. It would seem, in some parts of the country. Yeah, let us know. I mean, its all very well to promise 40,000 more appointments a week, can they do it . And at whose expense . By the way, im a bit worried about your wedding bells. Oh. Are you . Yeah. And very concerned about my wedding bells, arent you . Because shes getting married in france and. And im not sure whether they do the old wedding bell thing. No, were very worried, arent we .

They say you may kiss the bride and then they press a button and goes, ding dong, ding dong, ding dong ding. So there you go. So there you go. I might get married in las vegas. Love to hear from you. Whats your story, right. And do you work in the nhs . And what do you work in the nhs . And what do you think about labours plans . Because wes streeting has been revealing his plans to tell nhs staff to work weekends and evenings as he pledges to deliver an extra 40,000 appointments a week . Yes, the Shadow Health secretary also promised to protect whistleblowers and cut the nhs reliance on Migrant Workers. Well gb news Political Correspondent olivia utley joins us now. Us now. Us now. Hi there. It is an amazing wish. But tony blair did it, didnt he . When he was running, to hopefully take over from the tories. He said i will cut waiting lists. And he did. How waiting lists. And he did. How did he do it . I cant remember. Well, i think one thing to bearin well, i think one thing to bear in mind is that it does tend to be easier for a Labour Government than a conservative government to deal with the problems facing the nhs, the nhs for a conservative government often becomes very, very toxic and whenever hints of reform or even whispered at, there is a huge backlash from people saying that the conservatives want to privatise the nhs. Privatise the n hs. Privatise the nhs. For example, i remember, i cant remember whether it was 2017 or 2019, but there was a plan on the conservative manifesto to get waiting lists down and immediately the Jeremy Corbyn spin team came back and said it was a plan to privatise the nhs. What were hearing from wes streeting now, its quite blairite, but it also is really quite right wing. If a conservative politician said that the nhs was wasting money, wes streeting has said this morning that he shares treasury cynicism about how nhs money is being spent. You would see a lot of raised eyebrows, but it feels as though labour is in actually as though labour is in actually a better position to be able to make those changes that the nhs probably quite desperately needs. Now. This plan is, it sounds pretty sensible. On the face of it. Theres planning to have 40,000 new appointments a week with £1. 1 billion to do that. He would allow nhs nurses and doctors to work weekends , and doctors to work weekends, pay and doctors to work weekends, pay them overtime for those weekends and hed share staff between hospitals so that there was enough staff to treat patients at their nearest hospital wherever they needed. He says that in those weekends , he says that in those weekends, they could get as much work done as they would in a in a normal week. Now, of course, the big question is where is that 1. 1 billion going to come from . He says that hell be closing, loopholes in of cutting down on tax evasion. Well, easier said than done. Obviously, every single government would love to cut down on tax evasion. They cut down on tax evasion. They try. It can work out quite tricky. And then also scrap the non dom status. Well labour have used that to pay for a lot of their plans. Im looking forward to seeing a full breakdown, but the immediate analysis that there is a pretty chunky black hole in labours finances also, of course , the conservative of course, the conservative government has stolen labours clothes by announcing that it too plans to cut the non dom tax status. So it isnt quite clear status. So it isnt quite clear where this £1. 1 billion is going to come from. But as you say, tony blair managed to do it once before. It sounds like wes streeting is a man on a mission, and politically, perhaps he is better suited to doing this, very interesting. His comments on Migrant Workers and the nhs, overreliance on them really , overreliance on them really, really interesting. And he says that we should be training up more of our own doctors. Again, this is a this is a policy idea that if a conservative said it , you is a policy idea that if a conservative said it, you would see a lot of raised eyebrows. There is also in this , hes there is also in this, hes wants to get very, very tough on nhs managers who are giving nhs whistleblowers a hard time. There was this awful telegraph story showing that nhs managers are essentially making life impossible for anyone in the nhs who blows the whistle on poor care, even if sometimes its a life and death situation , these life and death situation, these doctors and nurses have been given money, a gagging orders. Theyve been given up to 100 grand to stay silent about this , grand to stay silent about this, and, wes streeting has made it absolutely clear that anyone who, treats a whistleblower like that will be sacked from the nhs and will never be allowed to work in the nhs again. Just such strong rhetoric on the nhs, which again, we just dont really see from conservative politicians because it is such a toxic issue for them about exactly the guy who says it, the bad guy. The other thing thats interesting about wes streeting all of these plans that wes streeting has said, you cant they its going to need such organisation. You can imagine that even more nhs managers are going to have to be recruited. Going to have to be recruited. And thats not what you want, is it . I mean, its going to be an incredible, burden for anyone to organise it. Absolutely. Its a really good point. A huge sort of feat of logistics to imagine, you know, all of this weekend work, people working overtime, people ending up doing more than their shift was supposed to be, people working in different hospitals from where they normally work. Massive, massive sort of admin burden, logistical burden. And burden, logistical burden. And as you say, that means more managers being recruited into the nhs. Does that £1. 1 billion the nhs. Does that £1. 1 billion account for the amount of extra work around the actual doctors and nurses . Itll be really and nurses . Itll be really interesting to see a full breakdown that it will olivia utley. Good to see you this morning. Thank you very much and do let us know if youre if youre in, if you work in the nhs and maybe you work in one of those departments that does lie empty at weekends and you often think if only they could staff it , you if only they could staff it, you could actually use those places, itd be interesting to know if itd be interesting to know if it was workable. Give us your point of view. Please do. Gb news qualcomm please do. Gb news qualcomm slash your say yes. There we exactly that. Its on your screens now gbnews. Com yoursay now we bring out the wedding bells because today is the sixth wedding anniversary for the duke and duchess of sussex , whose and duchess of sussex, whose 2018 windsor wedding do you remember captured our hearts around the world . Yes. Fast forward to now, and it looks like Meghan Markle could be set for no less than a president ial run. Its after her president ial run. Its after her former suits colleague said that the duchess is set for the white house. Well, lets put that to royal commentator richard fitzwilliams, who joins us now. A very good morning to you, well, first of all, it would be wrong if we didnt wish them a very happy wedding anniversary , very happy wedding anniversary, wouldnt it . Oh, absolutely. I think that, if you think back six years, i mean, what they seem to forget was the universal praise. And her now hostile press was unanimous in saying that this was an absolutely fabulous idea, that this was a union that was really going to cement the monarchy in the contemporary period. Theres no doubt at all that everyone was welcoming it. It seemed absolutely marvellous. Harry was so popular. And meghan, well, there were family problems. Of course, it surfaced just before, but i mean, theres no doubt that, everyone was absolutely thrilled at this. And of course, it turned into something of a nightmare. And of something of a nightmare. And of course, it then had led to the rift that we know in the royal family. But yes, a very happy , family. But yes, a very happy, anniversary. And, of course, this is on the back of their successful visit. Undoubtedly it was to nigeria. And that was interesting because they were able to use the invictus , the able to use the invictus, the fact that nigeria may host the games at some point. And also, of course, meghan discovered she was, quote , 43 nigerian. So was, quote, 43 nigerian. So there was that to the problem, of course, is from what next . And that might involve something political. Richard, what do you make of those comments from meghans suits co star who suggests that meghan may be set for the white house well, and of course, this is fantasy land. I mean, you could argue that that which becomes a reality one day could begin in a fantasy. And i mean, you have, unquestionably a possibility of her entering politics. It has been because shes had an activist since the age of 11, when she protested against a sexist advertisement. But as for being president , i mean , you being president , i mean, you have to look at the real world, and the real world would involve those certain steps in the male regarding this. The fact that you get , donors, the fact that you get, donors, the fact that you, become an activist or more of an activist, the fact that you also, clearly we know shes a Democrat Party supporter. But, i mean, there are a variety of steps within the party and that you start climbing up. I mean, what would be realistic . Firstly, i mean, she she we know the female, equality and also, issues dealing with gender equality issues dealing with race and so forth, very, very dear to her heart. Race and so forth, very, very dear to her heart. Well, there dear to her heart. Well, there are things she could campaign on and the way this would be handled would obviously be id said, a targeting the possibility of a seat in the house of representatives, and then you could conceivably dream on about the senate, but as for president , anybody could be president. That, of course , is president. That, of course, is the american dream. But, if that happens , i will raise my happens, i will raise my eyebrows three times higher than the possibility of that. I really cant see, but im sure no , your eyebrows will raise to no, your eyebrows will raise to the ceiling, and your jaw will drop to the floor. But you have to ask , dont but you have to ask, dont you, if she has such ambitions, where does this leave prince harry . I mean, hes obviously already resentful that he was treated as a spare back here in britain , but he would only then britain, but he would only then become even more of a spare if he were married to either the president or somebody who was clearly setting her sights that way. And taking various offices. Yes. Clearly this presents a yes. Clearly this presents a problem for harry, because if you notice what their plans are, i mean, theres meghans lifestyle blog , american revere lifestyle blog, american revere or orchard , an odd name. Or orchard, an odd name. I really rather ponderous , i think really rather ponderous, i think her pr could have thought up something better. And then , it something better. And then, it was Netflix Program on cookery and entertainment and so forth. Harry is doing a series on polo, which is a bit of an elitist sport, actually. But of course, harry has got invictus. And so they have to, as they plan. They have to, as they plan. Harry must it must be absolutely definite that harry will be integral to the planning. I integral to the planning. I mean, remember, he is very emotionally reliant on her and therefore might be content in this context to be a spare, even if , many this context to be a spare, even if, many people this context to be a spare, even if , many people would this context to be a spare, even if, many people would laugh at it or many people would point out the fact that there was a certain amount of hypocrisy because spare was a brutal takedown of the royal family and his position in it. The facts are, however, that he might be happy. Remember that are, however, that he might be happy. Remember that they are, however, that he might be happy. Remember that they are a close knit couple, and of course as a family it would be very interesting. For example , to see interesting. For example, to see if they monetise their links with the royal family in any other way in the coming weeks and months, and also , of course, and months, and also, of course, would, archie and lee feature in some form of a faux royal tour somewhere for something that they would arrange . So there are all sorts of possibilities. All sorts of possibilities. Cities. But i certainly see remember, you have to begin by hard campaigning. Remember, you have to begin by hard campaigning. Theyre only hard campaigning. Theyre only putting in a week each for other charity archewell if they really do want to go into politics, if thatis do want to go into politics, if that is her ambition, then shes said, i think she should make absolutely sure shes got the ground rules of how you do this in america. Theyve got to have a look at also whether they would wish to have their or keep the titles. And even though theyre in abeyance, their children could one day become, hrh so this two is a problem. I mean, if youre really looking at a serious political career, i dont see it starting from what we know now. Equally anything can happen. Nigeria was a success. And also theyve got a bit of pr, arrangement now than they did because spare really was a disaster. The interviews around it and the fact that he became a laughing stock for various reasons. And also you dont mention the number of taliban you personally took out in the second tour of duty and so on. And also, if you run for anything in the whether its house of representatives or senate or whatever, for goodness sake, men match with your family because that counts in america. Because that counts in america. Richard fitzwilliams, good to see you this morning. Thank you very much. Absolutely sorry , im very much. Absolutely sorry, im going down the wrong way. Yeah. Have a have a sip of water, a quick chianti. We wish it was a chianti. Chianti. Yeah. No bitter. Ellie, shall we have a look at some of the other stories coming into the newsroom this morning . And the chancellor, jeremy hunt, has vowed to compensate victims for the infected blood scandal with a £10 billion package. Its claimed it was part of fulfilling a promise he made to a constituent who died after contracting hepatitis c. The scandal has been the subject of the biggest ever Public Inquiry in the uk, after tens of thousands of people were infected with contaminated blood and blood products. And blood products. The Israeli Military says its recovered. Another body after the remains of three israeli hostages were recovered from gaza on friday. That says a member of israels war cabinet, benny gantz, has threatened to resign from the government if it does not make a new plan for the war in gaza. In gaza. And the olympian Dame Kelly Holmes has joined protesters to demonstrate against poor Water Quality as the public mobilised across the uk on saturday. Whilst Water Companies maintain theyre spending more than £14 billion a year to protect waterways in england and wales. But protesters say tougher action is needed. Action is needed. Now should we have a look at the weather with catherine chalk . 7 a . A brighter outlook with 7 a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on. Gb news. Good morning and welcome to your gb news weather update from the met office. A murky start for some of us, but theres going to be plenty of warm sunshine around. Perhaps just the odd isolated shower. So through this morning, a murky start for some, especially across central and southeastern england, that cloud should generally break up by mid morning. Cloudier across parts of scotland, especially along that east coast where we hold on to quite a lot of low cloud. But elsewhere plenty of sunshine on offer. Perhaps the odd shower developing , odd shower developing, especially across parts of the south west, but otherwise it is going to be feeling very warm in that sunshine with highs up to 24, possibly 25 degrees, but feeling much cooler across scotland and especially down that eastern coast of North Eastern england. So taking a look into this evening, plenty of late evening sunshine to end the weekend. The odd shower possible across devon and cornwall, but most places are staying dry. Perhaps a few showers developing across dumfries and galloway. And for parts of scotland but further west. A dry evening. Parts of scotland but further west. A dry evening. A lot of west. A dry evening. A lot of low cloud, though still lingering, especially across eastern parts. Thats where its going to be feeling cooler throughout. Much of sunday. And then as we go into the evening, very a dry picture is on offer. Low cloud once again though, coming in from the north sea and moving its way inland to give a murky start. But for east, for western parts it is going to be turning a little bit chillier , turning a little bit chillier, especially in any rural parts. But otherwise holding up at around 10 or 11 degrees to start monday morning. So that does leave a lot of low cloud around once again to start monday morning. So a bit of a murky start for rush hour. But that low cloud should lift and break and burn its way back towards coastal areas to leave another largely fine and dry day. A few showers will bubble up across parts of Northern Ireland, but otherwise temperatures around 20, possibly up to 22 degrees. That warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on.

Aidan magee will be here to give us the lowdown ill ill come back to breakfast. Well, yes. Weve all suffering from funny, foggy throat. But from our point of view, it wasnt because we were up all night yelling at the telly. And because it was the big fight. Of course, boxing history apparently been made after Ukraines Oleksandr Usyk. Wonderful name i love that became the first person to beat the world wide champion tyson fury. But someone who did stay up all night and does. You dont have a frog in your throat, actually. Well done. Aiden is aiden. Im gonna find one. Im gonna find one. Aidan magee no, but everyone else is suffering. But not you. Well, you just watched it professionally. You didnt yell at the telly . No, i didnt yell at the tv. But it was an extraordinary fight. It really was. Im so glad i stayed up because, you know, sometimes weve had so many times in the past where weve stayed up in the middle of the night for fights, sometimes even later. And its been a real letdown. In fact, i want to bnngin letdown. In fact, i want to bring in Gareth Davies, now from riyadh, who is somebody who sat through the whole thing and was extremely animated throughout. Good morning to you. First of all, gareth, what was your assessment of the fight overall . Because its so often that its often the case that these fights promise so much and dont deliver. I would argue this one will go down as an all time classic. Yeah, it was ageing. Youre absolutely right. It was a classic. We were expecting a fistic chess match with both men having brilliant iqs, both being elite boxers. Neither men ever, ever having lost in their careers. And it was a see sawing ding dong affair. And i think what will be remembered really i mean, obviously Oleksandr Usyk is now the undisputed king of the division and will go down in my view, as an all time great olympic gold look at him there in his splendour as he walked out the pageantry of the occasion was amazing as well. The gypsy king having a good dance before he stepped into the ring to go , christian, cristiano ring to go, christian, Cristiano Ronaldo and all the guests. Anthony joshua with his excellency turki al sheikh. Im doing commentary on your pictures, but it wasnt amazing. The old guys who won the undisputed last time lennox lewis and evander holyfield. It was that kind of occasion. And was that kind of occasion. And to answer your question, aidan tyson fury was brilliant for six rounds and ahead and i wonder whether theres a thing in boxing. We say, could someone can get too greedy in the ring . And it became so comfortable and confident that Oleksandr Usyk found a way back into the fight, and great athletes and fighters and great athletes and fighters and sports people can change the pattern of the fight. And he did in the eighth round when he virtually got fury out with a flurry of left hands and fury never really recovered. I had usyk winning 114, 113, and he was the rightful winner on the night, even though it was a split decision. Well, i was going to say that. Gareth, were you surprised that the split decision, because l, that the split decision, because i, on my pigeon card at home, had it down as a as a unanimous. But my maybe you have a different view. No, i think youre absolutely right. Its hard to make a case for fury winning the fight because , you probably won it because, you probably won it seven rounds to five. Or if he didnt, and as i scored it, he had a knockdown in that ninth round which made it ten eight. So you have to give a point his way. It was a fight of three third. And in the last third, as hes done against Anthony Joshua in the second fight, proven that hes so skilful at doing the last four rounds of a fight and taking it away from men. Lets not mince our words about this. Who are three stone heavier than him . Thats what makes him so extraordinary. What about the jaw situation with usyk . Because tyson fury suggested afterwards that usyk was on his way to hospital. And then i think im right in saying that usyk appeared at the press conference looking relatively comfortable. But if there is a problem with the jaw, does that jeopardise the rematch in any way . I think they were just worried about him. Yeah, i was there too. I havent been to bed. I was there at press conference till 4 am. Because we had tyson fury, then we had Alexander Krassyuk , his Alexander Krassyuk, his promoter, come through the ukrainians promoter , usyk went ukrainians promoter, usyk went so normal procedure. He had a fast mri scan. These are big, big men , remember. And they hit big men, remember. And they hit each other with a lot of punches because it was an all action bout. They werent in massive exchanges, but it was so busy because usyk was squeezing the space against fury all the time. He was playing rope a dope, putting his arms out, sticking his tongue out. Theres. Usyk eventually turned up with his with his little pet donkey. He was very emotional, by the way, because his father has passed away and, you know, he was talking about his father, and that was a moment where he was he was so emotional. Im getting emotional seeing it now because i was standing right near him. What a beautiful human being he was. And the two men, by the way, afterwards showed so much respect for each other. And they will do it again in five weeks. Five months time. And gareth, just more generally , how badly did the generally, how badly did the sport of boxing need that do you feel . Because there have been problems in the last couple of years . We werent even sure if we were going to see this fight last night, and there have been others that have been jeopardised as well for various reasons. The sport has kind of developed a vacuum where other, other variations of the fight game have kind of stepped into the breach. Do you think boxing as a sport needed that fight last night . Yes, absolutely. Spot on. Five years we waited for joshua and deontay wilder. That never happened for years. For fury and Anthony Joshua, its never happened. Anthony joshua, its never happened. The Saudi Arabian happened. The Saudi Arabian investment from the great guy , investment from the great guy, his excellency turki al sheikh, to put money into the heavyweight division has transformed the division. Weve had a paradigm shift. Were in a golden age right now. Weve seen fury and usyk 25 years, aidan, we last saw the undisputed because the sanctioning bodies want to split the belts up. The promoters want their boxers fighting different belts because theres so many big purses available now we are going to get the big fights. Anthony joshua no doubt will fight usyk or fury, depending on who wins next in october because it is a two fight deal. Deontay wilders fighting ji li jiang, the big chinese guy, in two weeks time, Filip Hrgovic and Daniel Dubois fighting. We know who the top 20 are in the heavyweight division now, and hopefully over the next year or two, they can become household names again. Well, i stayed up for that. Lennox lewis fight 25 years ago as well. Thats how old i am. As well. Thats how old i am. You dont look a day oldeh look at you. Thanks very much indeed. Listen, thanks for thanks for joining us from riyadh. Hope you had a good, a good fight. Night yourself and go and get some sleep , if you can. Sleep, if you can. I will, thank you very much. I will, thank you very much. I will, thank you very much. Extraordinary fight last night. I have to say. Great to have gareth on there this morning with the toy donkey. I dont really know. Im not sure i was a bit confused with that, to be honest with you, but it might be. It might be a superstition thing, but ill try and find out by the next hour as well. Yes, aidan . Yes, aidan . Yeah . Yeah . Dont make an ass of yourself. Yes, thats your homework set. Thanks, aidan. Now do you stay with us . Now do you stay with us . Still to come, were going to be talking about britains fattest town. Can you guess where it next. Welcome back. You are watching and listening to breakfast with anne and ellie. Yeah. Everybody seems to have a bad throat this morning. Dont they . So were sucking on these lozenges. Try not to let them get in the way. Anyway, its lovely to be with you this morning. 7. 34, as you said, now we were talking about where is britains fattest town . It seems an unkind thing to say, but apparently its wigan. Its been named as such anyway, with almost 40 of the population are medically obese. And of course, isuppose medically obese. And of course, i suppose that puts additional stress on the nhs locally and even on the labour force. Well, joining us now is the former presenter of fat families, steve miller. What do you make of it, steve, 40 of the population in wigan is considered medically obese. Well we, over the last few years weve had largely luton because that was the fattest. At one point we had hefty hull that was one of the recent fattest. And now weve got wobble, wobble , wigan and i think theres a number of causes. First of all for that, the first one is definitely the environment. I would imagine that the environment in wigan probably has lots of takeaways, a lots of fast food outlets and one of the things they love in wigan is something called the barm pie. Now the barm pie is a meat filled pastry put into a bread and butter bun. So you can imagine its not overly healthy. So i think the environment is the first reason. The second reason is definitely the mindset of people and but this, to be fair to wigan, is something across the uk , weve got into across the uk, weve got into this mindset in the uk actually, you cant really talk about fat because if you do, youre called a fat shamer. Youre kind of, you know, the naughty person that should be in the corner because weve now normalised fat across the uk. Its kind of cool to be fat in many parts. And then we may also have the economics where this is about affordability of health and food and accessibility. Now the question is of course, well what do we do about it. Because theres lots of waffle and theres lots of waffle and theres lots of faffing about by, you know, whoevers in charge , government and local, charge, government and local, local, local councils. Now, the first thing i recommend that wigan do is that the supermarkets work with the local to community immediately promote affordability and accessibility of healthy food. Theres a myth that it costs a lot of money to eat healthily. That that it costs a lot of money to eat healthily. That is that it costs a lot of money to eat healthily. That is not true. Eat healthily. That is not true. However, people need support to understand how they can do it and how they can afford healthy food. So the supermarkets need to work with the local community. Not not not not tomorrow, but today. Start today. The other thing that needs to happen is an assessment of the environment, because i, i mean, i dont know how many fast food shops there are in wigan, but i should imagine theres quite a lot. So that needs to be done. And then the third thing, and weve never done this in the uk, this would be a fresh approach. We need to deliver mindset coaching to people , mindset coaching to people, mindset coaching to people, mindset coaching, for example, training people mentally to understand that when that fat feeding demon is on my shoulder saying, go on, youre hungry. We normally eat the pie, but the person to understand to start automatically actually having a conversation with that part thats responsible and saying to it, i understand why youre wanting me to. However, im changing my behaviour and im regaining control over the food this country. All it ever talks aboutin this country. All it ever talks about in terms of obesity is food, food, food, people actually know what they should eat to be slimmer. The problem weve got, the challenge weve got is they need to regain mindset control over the food. So we control the food. The food does not control us. But how do you do that . How do you do that . With 40 of wigans population, for instance, how do you change mindset without without giving everybody regular counselling . We couldnt afford to do that, could we . No, i dont i would not, support and endorse regular counselling or 1 to 1 coaching. You could do it collectively. I mean common sense. Just put mean common sense. Just put something online to start with, give some demonstrations , give some demonstrations, publicise it locally. And yes, will it upset some people . Probably. Will we get the fat, fat shaming squealers out . Probably we will. I suggest in in in wigan today that every takeaway should have a sign in its window that says if you are fat , think before ordering those fat, think before ordering those kind of warnings work. Why do they work . Because theyre emotive. They make people. They emotive. They make people. They make people, stop , look and make people, stop, look and listen before they place an order. And also before they put the food in the mouth. The problem with the uk is we are soft on fat. We kind of celebrate fat. And nationally what we should be doing is looking to looking to japan and south korea who manage obesity exceptionally well. They dont all whinge eamonn over there. They just make it clear being fat is wrong. Being fat puts you on death row , you know . And we on death row, you know . And we need and take control. And that need and take control. And that is what thats the kind of culture we need to adopt in the uk. If we are going to be serious to get to war on fat giving people blooming injections to take every week is just ridiculous and potentially dangerous because of the potential serious side effects. And so what i say is, yeah, from a Strategic Point of view, look to japan and look to south korea. They do it really well. Okay steve miller, good to see you this morning. Thank you very much. Thank you. Let us know what you think of that. How do you how do you combat fat especially on such a large scale like a whole town or something . Whole town or something . Just think of the strain that thats putting on the nhs and local services 40 and the strain and the stress on people. Yes. And bones. Not for good you. Yes, exactly, right. Do stick with us. Still to come, were going to be looking at most of the stories making the news with emma woolf and andy jones. Thats. Next. Welcome back to breakfast. Were going through the papers now with writer and columnist emma woolf and writer and journalist andy jones. Journalist andy jones. Good morning to you both. Good morning. Andy, lets start with you, shall we . This is a viral story were being told meghan and harrys rivalry with the royal family could muddy the waters around international tours. Yes, muddy the waters is a phrase used by an x ray royal staffer speaking to the daily beast, these these are royal staffers are always unnamed, arent they . These unnamed sources. But they theyve said that it could muddy the waters with, with the sussexes going out and about harry and meghan going out and about doing their own tours, it could conflict with official royal family business, and theres also no control about where theyre going to go and where theyre going to go and where theyre going to go and where theyre going to say, and so obviously we had this situation where theyre in nigeria, theyre out there promoting Mental Health of soldiers, empowering young people. These are all sort of things that im sure the royal family are broadly aligned with. But again , in all sorts of but again, in all sorts of Rhiannon Jones potentially are getting involved in the meghan and harry business. Theres a mail and mail on sunday story about one of the nigerian royals that funded the trip, or helped welcome them to nigeria, was a twice convicted con man whos been very much a removed from america twice previously. This is what is said to be really annoying. King charles made him more angry than ever because he feels that , he feels because he feels that, he feels it looks like a royal tour. Yeah and it it may not be exactly the sort of thing he may be wanting. Sort of thing he may be wanting. I mean, when he does a royal touh i mean, when he does a royal tour, its an official royal tour, its an official royal tour organised by the government and all sorts of things, and is giving out certain messages. So if harry and meghan are doing their own thing, is that endangenng their own thing, is that endangering the value of a real royal tour . Royal tour . I really dont think that most people around the world make the distinction between harry and meghan and the royal family. I mean, people still refer to them as royal people. Still, whenever i go to america and i go to america , a lot and i go to america, a lot people talk about them as they are. They are royal family and i think particularly when weve got trade sensitivities and diplomatic sensitivities , its diplomatic sensitivities, its something that the royal family are going to be concerned about. Emma, lets take a look at the guardian front page, shall we . And this is the archbishop of canterbury talking about the two child benefit. Cap describes it as cruel. Yeah, so the archbishop of canterbury once again intervening in what some might say is sort of government policy, but this was a policy introduced in 2017, sort of masterminded by george osborne. Masterminded by george osborne. And it basically means that after families who have a third or a subsequent child after that do not carry on receiving benefits. So you get benefit child benefit for your first two children, but no more benefits after that. A lot of people have after that. A lot of people have been calling this kind of cruel and immoral. Lots of labour and immoral. Lots of labour people have been calling this cruel and immoral, saying that its inhumane, actually, and that, you know, children deserve every child matters, that every child deserves , that all child deserves, that all children are of equal and immeasurable worth. And so the, immeasurable worth. And so the, the archbishop is saying to the government , but also to keir government, but also to keir starmer, obviously, as the probable government in waiting, hes asking keir starmer to scrap this two child limit and to commit. And keir starmer has been sort of equivocal on this one because of the problem with finances and how expensive this would be. So starmer hasnt hasnt really come to a kind of Firm Commitment on this. But yeah, the archbishop really wants every child to get i mean, you know, Child Poverty is a real problem. Child hunger is a real problem. Child hunger is a real problem. Child hunger is a real problem in this in this country. But finances are a problem as well. I can imagine there are a lot of people at home sort of saying, if you cant afford to have the children, i know and i can see both sides, which is very unusual for me, but i can see both sides on this one, i really can. Why should a child suffer . Because theyre the fourth or the fifth . I was one of five and i think my mum, im pretty sure she got, you know, her, her weekly thing at the post office, and i think that every child needs money from their, from their family to be, to be well fed and looked after and everything. But i can also see people going, hang on a minute. You know, we cannot be paying. The state cannot be paying endlessly for theres no doubt that just grow and grow a lot. Yeah. Yeah. I mean 3200 per extra child, isnt it . And well be saying that we have to be lifting children out of poverty. And i absolutely understand that. And the government is accountable for many, many of these reasons why children are in poverty. But, i mean, the brutal answer is to reduce children in poverty is to reduce children in poverty is that people shouldnt be having so many children if they simply cant afford it. But but , simply cant afford it. But but, but why should children, you know, when you come back, children are not to blame. But again, if you say youre going to pay for all these children people, then have more children. That has to be some sort of responsibility. Yeah, and some say some children arent planned for. Thats true. The other thing, andy, lets have a look at this onune andy, lets have a look at this online story. This is i masterminded the plot to blow up lord mountbatten. Yeah. So the brutal killing of lord mountbatten in 1979, obviously one of King Charless favourite relatives, known as uncle dickie by the royal family and a war hero and a war hero. He was a prime ira target. And they they they killed him with a £50 bomb in 1979. Ex ira man Michael Hayes, who was linked to the, conviction at the time, he has now come out and sensationally said that tom mcmahon, the man who was eventually prosecuted, he was only a participant. This Michael Hayes said that he was the expert. Yes i blew him up. I planned everything. I am commander in chief now. Well, what is going to be the fallout of this . I mean, weve got a confession. Will this guy ever see a court . Will he then put this information on the stand . But its absolutely horrible tragedy with lord mountbatten. It wasnt just lord mountbatten who was killed. Im glad you said that. Because there were more People Killed on that boat. There was a two teenage boys. Exactly. There was a 14 year old boy and a 15 year old boy. This was an absolutely barbaric act, it was it was very, very shocking at the time as well. Very shocking. But how old is the is the ira man now . Hes about 79. Yeah. He isnt he. Yeah. He isnt he. Well whether or not i mean hes certainly old enough to be making these statements and hes compos mentis enough, but i dont know whether hell ever see trial, should he . I mean , is there a sort of i mean, is there a sort of statute of limitations on this, as you say, such a shocking event, presumably there is. We event, presumably there is. We need justice. I suppose thats redundant if someones vividly and in detail confessing to the crime, but again, were seeing these these sort of horrible sectarian things appearing more and more in this era. Its very upsetting for the king, actually , because they king, actually, because they were very, very close. And it was terribly shocking to the whole royal family. Talking of whom, yes, prince , theres this whom, yes, prince, theres this big Society Wedding. It is. It is. And i was thinking, really . Its probably the biggest Society Wedding of the year, although lots of people will not have heard of this chap, but hes a billionaire. 33 years old, Hugh Grosvenor, seventh duke of westminster. He is marrying Olivia Henson in june next month, june the 7th, at chester cathedral. And theres a chester cathedral. And theres a sort of theres more interest, i guess, in the in the guest list, which is Prince William is a really good friend of his. So is prince harry, this chap hence, sorry, this chap, Hugh Grosvenor , is godfather to archie, no , to , is godfather to archie, no, to george to. Oh, no, hes actually godfather to archie. Oh, he is, is he . Yeah. Oh, he is, is he . Yeah. Oh, he is, is he . Yeah. I think he must be to george as well, because george is Prince George is going to play a part in the wedding. Oh i see okay. So hes so hes godfather to both isnt it. Yeah. Yeah hes definitely godfather to harry because thats the sort of angle of this of this bit of the story, which is harry probably wont be attending, you know, was he sort of nfa not invited or was he sorry . Was he. Nah was he not ianed . Sorry . Was he. Nah was he not invited . Or is it just that the tension between william and harry would be too blatant, or is it that theyre sort of aware of the sensitivity and have decided that they were invited, but they wont come . So sort of why why are the sussexes not going to be there . Theres also it just shows that they are a family, i suppose, isnt it . Apparently. Its thought that king charles may not go. Hes the godfather to this chap, the godfather to Hugh Grosvenor, Hugh Grosvenor and neither will camilla, because camilla and hugh, grosvenors mother do not get on. Oh, i see, i thought it was that the charles and king and queen are going to be in normandy the day before. That may be the excuse they use. Yeah. Oh i mean, its all very, very interlinked. I suppose thats weddings for you , suppose thats weddings for you, isnt it, even when youre worth £9 billion. Not everyone get on. Not everyone get on. And this is the wedding, as ellies been saying, that where theyve asked to go, they cant make the in laws go. I mean, they have billions, but they dont. Yeah. They dont. They dont want for anything. Do they know theres going to be a focus on sustainability . I was reading yeah, well she used to work for one of these. Sustainable. I think shes given up her job, the fiancee. But i think shes going to work in sustainability. And theyre doing quite a lot around chester, and theyre sort of compensating because everything will be closed off. Its a massive, massive wedding. So theyre sort of compensating the businesses and trying to really source everything locally. So they do sound like a sort of, you know, a couple with their with their head screwed on and their billions of pounds. They sound like a nice couple. Yeah theyre going to donate their flowers after theyve. Exactly. And theyre not going to accept presents. They said no, no presents, no gifts. Yeah. And local food as well. Yeah. Local food, everything sourced locally. And you know , all the, all and you know, all the, all the businesses that get closed down for a couple of days with all these jollies, theyre going to be looked after. Well, good on them. We wish them a very happy wedding. Oh and its a story you like. Oh. Oh, its messes. Messes. Napkin. The messy napkin. Whos napkin. The messy napkin. Whos got this one . This is anna and me. This is anna and me. So tell us all about the lionel. Is it lionel or lionel . I think he answers to either. I think its usually just messy is enough. We know who he is. He who won four champions leagues, a world cup, ten la liga titles and 670 odd goals for barcelona. The napkin on which barcelona first committed to committed to signing then 13 year old lionel messi has been auctioned by bonhams for £762,000 and a few pence 700. I cant believe you didnt bid 760 £62,000. So nearly three quarters of £1 million. The starting price was £300,000 and it was a standard sort of spanish napkin youd get in any restaurant, sort of waxy kind, with all that on holiday, and it was laminated. The agent involved had the good sense to keep the napkin , knowing that he keep the napkin, knowing that he was going to be a superstar player, and he had it laminated and framed, and horatio galley only has made £767, £63,000. There was a bit of an argument about whether it was his to sell this napkin, because who owns the napkin when they all wrote on so much money in football . Its crazy, isnt it . Its crazy, isnt it . Emma . Andy good to see you. Thank you very much indeed. Lets take a look at the weather. A brighter outlook with boxt solar , sponsors of weather on. Solar, sponsors of weather on. Gb news. Good morning and welcome to your gb news weather update from the met office. A murky start for some of us, but theres going to be plenty of warm sunshine around. Perhaps just the odd isolated shower. So through this morning, a murky start for some, especially across central and southeastern england, that cloud should generally break up by mid morning. Generally break up by mid morning. Cloudier across mid morning. Cloudier across parts of scotland, especially along that east coast where we hold on to quite a lot of low cloud. But elsewhere, plenty of sunshine on offer, perhaps the odd shower developing, especially across parts of the south west, but otherwise it is going to be feeling very warm in that sunshine with highs up to 24, possibly 25 degrees, but feeling much cooler across scotland and especially down that eastern coast of North Eastern england. So taking a look into this evening, plenty of late evening sunshine to end the weekend. The odd shower possible across devon and cornwall, but most places are staying dry , perhaps a few staying dry, perhaps a few showers developing across dumfries and galloway and for parts of scotland. But further west a dry evening. A lot of low cloud, though still lingering , cloud, though still lingering, especially across eastern parts. Thats where its going to be feeling cooler throughout much of sunday. And then as we go into the evening, very a dry picture is on offer. Low cloud once again though, coming in from the north sea and moving its way inland to give a murky start. But for east for western parts it is going to be turning a little bit chillier, especially in any rural parts, but otherwise holding up at around 10 or 11 degrees to start monday morning. So that does monday morning. So that does leave a lot of low cloud around once again to start monday morning. So a bit of a murky start for rush hour. But that low cloud should lift and break. And burn its way back towards coastal areas to leave another largely fine and dry day. A few showers will bubble up across parts of Northern Ireland, but otherwise temperatures around 20, possibly up to 22 degrees. That warm feeling inside from boxt boilers promising to fix the crumbling Health Service by making staff work evenings and weekends. We will cut nhs waiting times with 40,000 more appointments each week at evenings and weekends, paid for by cracking down on tax dodgers and non dom loopholes. Health care for the loopholes. Health care for the many paid for by the few. Aidans here with the sport. Its a massive day in the premier league, with Manchester City odds on to make it four League Titles in a row when they host west ham at the etihad this afternoon. Arsenal, though, are still in with a shout on the final day as they face everton at the emirates. Well also be reflecting further on that historic furious classic in saudi. Saudi. Clean water at last. Thousands in devon receive word that they no longer need to boil their water. But is public trust broken from farm to fork, gb news gets an insiders take on the balmoral show, Northern Irelands biggest agricultural event and Royal Anniversary, as today marks six years since prince harry and Meghan Markles wedding day in windsor. It comes as her suits co star says Meghan Markle is set for the white house after a murky start. For some of us this morning, that should break up to give plenty of warm sunshine. Ill have all the details coming up. Lovely to be with you today. Lovely to be with you today. Lovely to be with you today. Im anne diamond and im Ellie Costello, and this is breakfast on. Gb news. Breakfast on. Gb news. Well, well, well. Well, well, well. Well, well, well. Hows your throat . Hows your throat . Well, its very interesting , well, its very interesting, because thank you very much for pointing it out. Somebody has gb your your said in emailed in or whatever to say some of the Blood Pressure medicine is cause a funny dry throat and ive looked it up and the one im on does have that as a sign. Oh well there you go. Honestly gb news. Com usa is so helpful for things for pointing that out, because i was telling the story yesterday of the fact that ive had this Blood Pressure problem, and clearly i am on, pills for it now, trying to get it levelled out. And, and theres no doubt ive got this really funny, scratchy throat and have done for ages and a bad cough. I didnt realise it was a sort of side effect of that particular pill. It says go and see your gp and see if theyll change it. Yes, you need to have a little chat with them and youve got your lozenges and well keep the hot drinks flowing for you this morning. And just on Meghan Markle, Jeffrey Morris has been in touch saying Meghan Markle will not be a good president , but Michelle Obama should go for president. Interesting. You have to point out that neither of them are politicians. Now, maybe thats no longer necessary. You could say donald trump could have said that about donald trump. Exactly. Yeah, hes reality tv. Well, businessman and reality tv, can you do the job if you have good people around you . For instance, you can say you . For instance, you can say you bring other skills, wouldnt you . In you bring other skills, wouldnt you . In Life Experience to their plate from Windsor Castle to the white house that would be quite a story, wouldnt it . Thats a good one. Thats a good one. Yes, i can see a miniseries all about it. Oh, itll be all over netflix, wouldnt it . Yeah, thats very true. Yeah, thats very true. Yes. Gbnews. Com yoursay keep your views coming in. Okay, well, on to politics. Closer to home and labour has revealed plans to tell nhs staff to work at weekends and in the evenings because they need to deliver an extra 40,000 appointments a week. Yes, the Shadow Health secretary wes streeting, also promised to protect whistleblowers and cut the nhss reliance on Migrant Workers. Well, gb news Political Correspondent olivia utley joins us now. Its a great promise and it sounds interesting. Unless youre an nhs worker and you think i work long enough hours , think i work long enough hours, but is it possible and how are they going to fund it . Well, those are the Million Dollar questions. I think it is an interesting, obviously sensible policy proposal on the face of it. And theres a good argument that, you know, wes streeting is in a better position than the conservative party to make reforms like this. When the conservative party talks about reforming the nhs, lots of eyebrows are raised immediately, whereas wes streeting has been saying some really quite bold things, including this, including telling nhs staff that they need to work overtime, they need to work the weekends and evenings in order to add those 40,000 extra appointments a week. But as you say, is it possible . Well, we dont know what the reaction will be from nhs staff themselves because there have previously been ideas to get more surgeries done at weekends and in the evenings. The Andrew Lansley reforms back in, what was it 2011 proposed to do something similar. Never really got off the ground. There was a lot of backlash from nhs staff. Logistically, it would staff. Logistically, it would also be really, really difficult because what were streeting is planning on doing is getting a sort of pool of resources together in a in a certain area so that staff at the weekends will be working across sort of 5 or 6 different hospitals. And in or 6 different hospitals. And in rural areas, obviously those could be miles and miles and miles apart. That is quite a tncky miles apart. That is quite a tricky thing to organise. Travel to the to and from the hospital would be a very long time and would be a very long time and would nhs staff be paid for that . Lots and lots of difficulties to be ironed out there. And of course how are they going to pay for it . Well, wes streeting says that he would, that hes planning to close the non dom tax loophole. Close the non dom tax loophole. Well, yes, but a the conservatives have already said that theyre going to do that sort of stealing labours clothes on this. So theres not going to be any extra new money coming in from that. And b, it seems like quite a lot of labour policies over the past year or so have been said that theyll be funded through that non dom tax cut. And obviously, according to labours calculations, its going to raise a lot of money. But there is clearly a risk that quite a lot of non doms will simply leave the country something which doesnt seem to have been fully factored into labours costing strategy. So it does feel as though this £1. 1 billion pledge for the nhs might not be quite as fully funded as streeting is suggesting. But on the face of it, i mean, it does seem like a sensible idea and it will be obviously very difficult for the conservative government to come back and say anything really, apart from is this fully funded . Very interesting as well. Olivia, his comments on the nhs, overreliance on Migrant Workers and he is focus, he says, should be on home grown talent. Be on home grown talent. Well, this is a problem which the conservative government have tried to raise again and again, but there is often a huge, huge backlash and you can sort of see why the idea of people coming over here to work in the nhs and you know, doctors from all sorts of nationalities saving lives, its obviously , fantastic. But its obviously, fantastic. But there is an issue with perhaps these doctors can leave at any point , these doctors can leave at any point, whereas home grown talent is wes streeting is calling. It might be more likely to sort of stick around if you have this, this sort of hole in the medical workforce which is plugged by migrants at any point, policy could change whatever, and you could change whatever, and you could see an exodus of these doctors leaving the nhs high and dry. Again, this is something which is probably quite a sensible move and something which the conservative government just couldnt really have done because it would be so toxic for the conservative government to suggest this. Really, everything streeting has been saying today. I mean, its if you if you heard it was Margaret Thatcher saying it, you wouldnt be surprised. These are right wing ideas, really. But streeting feels able to say that because he is a Labour Shadow Health secretary, very briefly. What was he saying about protecting whistleblowers within the nhs . Yeah. Well this is really interesting. The telegraph has interesting. The telegraph has done a fascinating, really worrying story this week showing that whistleblowers, doctors and nurses in the nhs who who whistle blow about poor care often in life and death situations, are being treated really badly by nhs managers, sometimes theyre its just its becomes impossible for them to work in the nhs. Now we saw this at the very furthest end of the spectrum with the lucy letby trial. There were doctors and nurses who claim that they, said time and time again that lucy letby wasnt safe to work with and their concerns were brushed off. They were moved to different departments. They say in some cases they were bullied by nhs management. Well wes streeting wants to put an end to that. And he has said very resolutely that any manager who is found to be trying to silence a whistleblower or make their life impossible, or issue them with a gagging order. Sometimes these whistleblowers can be paid up to £100,000 to stay quiet , up to £100,000 to stay quiet, anyone who treats any manager, who treats the doctor or nurse like that will be sacked from the nhs and will never be able to work in the nhs again, which is very strong rhetoric. Its not. It is. Olivia utley. Good to see you this morning. Thank you. Morning. Thank you. Okay, 8 08. Well, its very big day in the world of sport , big day in the world of sport, aidan magee is with us for a start. Obviously, the big news story, let alone sports story, is the fight. The what did you is the fight. The what did you call it in the desert . The dust up in the desert. That was only. That was only my, yours. My. Yeah. It wasnt. I mean, it was the big boxing fight. If youre suggesting that it sounded good, im taking credit. Okay. No it was a classic. It was an absolute classic. And sometimes these big fights, theyre big on on, on hype and theyre big on on, on hype and theyre big on conjecture. They theyre big on conjecture. They promise a lot, dont deliver as much as they should. Mainly because its been possible. But this one over delivered. I would argue thats what Gareth Davies certainly said or agreed with me last last hour is that fury was the favourite, but usyk upsets the favourite, but usyk upsets the form book completely and i dont know why anyone was that surprised, because he is a highly skilled individual. Hes extremely motivated. Hes just recently lost his father as well. Hes dealing with all the psychological issues around being on the front line for ukraine. He stepped out of boxing for a year or so. He phones his friends on the front line in ukraine on a regularly on a day, on a day to day basis. Well, he hasnt fought a match, has he . In ukraine, in his homeland. No he hasnt. How long . Well hes hes had hes had to earn his stripes in the last couple of years, the last, last 2 or 3 years anyway in, in the backyard of his opponents. So its an extraordinary thing to do. And he produced brilliant fare last night as well, for those who stayed up last night and paid the £25, i think they would say they got extreme. Did he land a punch on tyson furys injured forehead . He tried to get someone like fury would be very adept at protecting that area, but there was some blood. We dont know whether it came from the nose or whether it came from the nose or whether it came from the gash, but he certainly targeted it. But he also had to weather the storm of the body. Shots from from fury. Fury was was almost three stone heavier and he bore over on him as well. And thats very, very difficult even for a man of his considerable frame to have to withstand. But as gareth said last hour, it was getting away from, from, from about after about round seven and he turned it around. Thats what top champions do. And boxing needed this badly. How many times have i sat here saying that boxing is suffering . Theres a vacuum elsewhere within the fight, within the range of fight sports, because boxing is not producing or not putting on the shows that people really want to see, usually because of contractual obugafions because of contractual obligations and wrangling between broadcasters. That was a sea change last night. We hope hopefully the boxing organisers will see the value of putting on the fights that people really want to see. Thats the benefit you get, even if you have to stay up into the early hours of the morning. And did usyk go to hospital with a broken jaw, which is what tyson fury claims . Well, he claims that. But then he appeared in his press conference looking like he is still i dont know, it depends on the severity of the of the injury. Its possible to speak with a broken jaw, but as gareth said, these guys are extremely fit. Theyre extremely big, theyre hitting each other. Theyd be checked over anyway. He probably went to the hospital for a check over. I think the press conference didnt start until 4 am. Over there, so thats about 2. 5 hours after the fight finished. So theres plenty of time for fighteh safety has to be paramount. I think it was more the case that he went to have a check over. I dont even know if he was asked about it in the press conference. That says to me that the or the comments by fury werent particularly taken seriously on the night. And also a very, very big day in the premier league. Its almost been eclipsed. Isnt it, by this fight . Ive never known that happen earlier. I was thinking that earlier. I was thinking that earlier on this is a massive day in the premier league. This is the day that the title is handed out and its still up for grabs. I mean, its not even that often that it goes to the final day. Normally man city have got it done and dusted a week or two before the end, and its been completely wiped off so far anyway by this fight in in saudi. Now, as i say, fascinating day ahead. Manchester city can win the title if they beat west ham united. And so theyre at home at 4 00. Everybody as i said yesterday and has to kick off at the same time because its deemed to be an advantage if you if you play behind or after your rivals because you know what youre going to have, you or you know what you need to do. So arsenal face everton at the emirates today. Theyll look back on that fixture against against aston villa a month ago. Thats the only theyre flawless in 2024. Apart from a draw at Manchester City. Theyve been absolutely outstanding and pushing Manchester City this close is worthy of people calling them bottlers, but thats totally unfair. They bottled it last season to some degree, but this year i dont think they going to win the title, but its going to be i think theyll be everton. I think theyll be everton. I think Manchester City will beat west ham, and i think thatll be enough to take the title to man city. But arsenal will stand proud and there are 1 or 2 other issues as well, to be sorted just slightly lower than them in the europe places. But yeah, everybody kicks off today at 4 00 and it promises to be fantastic. And we, we, we touched many times as well the fact that this is officially Jurgen Klopps final day, and we saw roberto de zerbi, the hugely successful brighton manager. Hes going to leave after todays match against Manchester United as well. They announced that yesterday. I think theres been a bit of wrangling behind, so at least in two situations its the final managers day. Also, i dont i dont think erik ten hag is going to last much longer at man united, although he does have the fa cup final to come next week as well. But, but yeah, its ive never known ive never known a day like this in the premier league. Be, as i say so far. And we are still only, what, quarter to 8 15 in the morning. Its not been covered as extensively because of the events in saudi last night. Yeah okay aiden thank you very much. Good to see you both this weekend. Thank you. Yes good to see. Absolutely. Now 8 14. Lets take a look at some other stories coming into the newsroom. Coming into the newsroom. Well, the chancellor jeremy hunt, has vowed to compensate victims for the infected blood scandal with a £10 billion package. Hes claimed it was part of fulfilling a promise that he made to a constituent who died after contracting hepatitis c, the scandal has been the subject of the biggest ever Public Inquiry in the uk, after tens of thousands of people were infected with contaminated blood and blood products. Products. The Israeli Military says its recovered another body after the remains of three israeli hostages were recovered from gaza on friday. Thats as a member of israels war cabinet, benny gantz, has threatened to resign from the government if it does not make a new plan for the war in gaza, and the olympian Dame Kelly Holmes has joined protesters to demonstrate against poor Water Quality as the public mobilised across the uk on saturday.

After such a wet winter. President of the Ulster Farmers Union william irvine, is concerned about the damage to the winter crops and what it will mean for the incoming year. Its been an absolutely horrendous winter , a last horrendous winter, a last autumn, the winter sales couldnt get planted. The autumn started too early for the livestock producers. Spring was even worse . The ground that wasnt planted last autumn. People had hoped to put it in spnng people had hoped to put it in spring cereals. That couldnt spring cereals. That couldnt happen until far too late. A Livestock Farmers were in the position of empty silos and fulls a manure tanks, slurry tanks. So so. And ten months of wet weather.

I dont know whether they whether its able to buy you a testing kit. I would have testing kit. I would have thought so. You would want a testing kit . You would want a testing kit . Youd be a bit worried, wouldnt you . Wouldnt you . And officially, 50 people have been affected by this. But as jeff moody has been telling us over the past few days, its actually thought to be more like hundreds, because of course , not hundreds, because of course, not everybody goes to a gp and gets an official diagnosis. No, i think a lot of people were ill just thinking, oh, ive got a tummy bug and actually what what are you told to do when youre not feeling well . Drink wateh yes of course.

It would seem. No, not yet. It would seem. But if you are have been affected in southwest devon, do get in touch with us. It would be really interesting to hear what your last few days have been like. I know theyve been handing out bottled water. I think they were having to go to a local school in order to collect that bottled water. Is that something that you had to do . Gb news. Com name. Your say lots of you getting in touch on that. This morning. Jason gale says its really good to have you back, anne. And i hope your throat gets better soon. Yes, a lot of people were talking. Ive been talking about the side effects of some of the well known Blood Pressure medicines and apparently a dry cough, is a very, very common one. And one of our lovely viewers got in touch and said, if you stick with it two years later, it goes away. Oh you dont want two years of this . I dont think so. Well, we will try and reconnect with jeff moody down in south devon. But for now lets tell you about the bells at Beverley Minster, shall we . Yes. Different part of the country , but hopefully as beautiful. The bells at Beverley Minster undergoing major restoration, apparently for the First Time Since 1901. Yes, the work has been out. Yes, the work has been out. Has no, the work has put one of the ten bells out of action for the ten bells out of action for the last five weeks. But these repairs are set to be completed just in time for the bells to ring out for a service today. Well, our yorkshire and humber reporter anna riley has the story. The story. The bell ringers at Beverley Minster sound a welcome to the town before major services. But town before major services. But town before major services. But to preserve this british tradition, major bell restoration work was needed. Some of the parts were starting to wear out. Theyve beenin starting to wear out. Theyve been in use for 123 years, and there was some little problems sneaking in, but the main problem was the headstock. The problem was the headstock. The gudgeon, which the bell pivots on had come loose in the headstock. The stuff that youll see going up at was last down here in 1901. So its been a way for the last four weeks, having new sections done. And as much 1901 stuff as possible is being kept, so itll stay in use. Hopefully for another 120 years. The repaired structure has to be winched 120ft up to the minsters belfry and theres only five bell hanging Companies Left to carry out this unique work. Were refurbishing a lot of the fittings. This is one of the bow wheels and where weve put new rims on them. The old rims had got a bit rotten. The nails that held them together was all rusting, so they were falling apart. Nowadays we put everything together with stainless steel screws so hopefully it will last longer. Hopefully it will last longer. We keep preserving our old churches all over the country , churches all over the country, unfortunately less and less people use the churches now on a sunday, but we still keep maintaining them here. The renovation has been to preserve faith along with heritage. Heritage. The ten bells are clasped by many people as the finest peal of ten bells ever cast, and they have a special significance to various people. But if we lose our heritage, then we dont have anything. But also bells, sign of, the Christian Church and calling people to prayer. Calling people to prayer. Thanks to the repairs, the bells can keep ringing here for many more years to come. Anna riley, gb news, beverley how lovely to listen to the sound of bells on a sunday morning as well on a sunday morning. Its absolutely right. Okay well heres a subject that you might want to get stuck into. Should good cooking be taught in school . Apparently. I think its gary lineker has actually said that cooking should be taught in school. Oh, or he said that it isnt, but were going to debate it in a couple of moments anyway, so breakfast. Heres a fascinating subject. Its got us talking already. Should cooking lessons be compulsory in schools, one pretty surprising celebrity thinks so. Yes. Football star and presenter gary lineker. You were correct. Gary lineker. You were correct. Says that pupils are being failed by a lack of cooking in schools. I was always taught to cook in school. Were you . In school. Were you . I did some cooking at school, but i was also taught at home. Upside down pudding. Eves pudding. Pudding. Youre making me hungry. Youre making me hungry. Tuna pasta bake , all of those tuna pasta bake, all of those sort of very basic things. But they were good to learn how to do yummy things. Well, one person in favour of teaching cooking in schools is the restauranteur and Cookery School owner and celebrity chef. Of course, giancarlo cortese and were also joined by former apprentice star Ryan Mark Parsons , who disagrees and parsons, who disagrees and actually thinks that cooking classes would be a complete waste of time. So who do we go to first, what about you , ryan, to first, what about you, ryan, because we i mean, most people would presume that its a good idea. Why would you think not . I just feel like this is something that should be taught at home. Time in school is so precious. When i was younger, i precious. When i was younger, i learned everything about cooking at home. And when you think about going to school and whats not being taught, taxes , isas, not being taught, taxes, isas, mortgages, all of these vital life lessons that Young Children dont actually learn about. I think that time that youre spent learning how to slice a potato or boil some pasta, or how to make a pizza that time could be used to learn vital life skills and life lessons about things that actually matter. And i have to say, i think really, its the job of the parents and the Food Foundation as well. In 2021, found that students that learn cooking from home actually end up having healthier diets, healthier lifestyles compared to those that learn in school. So theres actual tangible results and better fits from actually learning from home versus school as well. So that should be considered an. And id also add that the department of education has have reported that schools are struggling to recruit teachers for essential subjects like maths and science. Why are like maths and science. Why are we then devoting this time to finding teachers to teach cooking lessons . I think that is just a total waste of resources, and it just exacerbates the financial pressures that schools are already suffering from. So i just think its an absolute waste of time. Bad idea. No, no, no from me okay. Dont mince your words, ryan. Mark, thank you very much. Giancarlo. What do you make of that . Lots of good points there, well , youre that . Lots of good points there, well, youre so disappointed in young men that i think what we need to understand the food is a source of life and makes you feel better. Now, a source of life and makes you feel better. Now, a bad food when you get. When you get really bad food, first of all, you dont. You dont act properly. You dont. You havent got a your brain is foggy because ive been there myself and i changed my lifestyle. I think at school we should really look what really matters. What matters is a Healthy Nation is a rich nation. And if we dont rich nation. And if we dont educate our children to stop opening packets, which are ultra processed food and is not any good for you, you learn to how do a computer, you learn how to do a computer, you learn how to do taxes, and then you die because youre not well, because you got cancer, because you go, this all theyre all is, is from food. I spent the last 15 years of my life to really reset and change our five six books on health, truly health. So you should really consider properly the food is the most important things you can have in life. Its your its your, its your its your its your engine that works properly. And so studying about how to make money. Yes we all want money for what. And then we are not looking after ourselves as a health. Im so incensed to what you said. I truly am a person like yourself with an intelligence , smiling. With an intelligence, smiling. Are you serious . Are you serious . Serious . Serious . Serious . No. This is for the parents. Im sorry. You need to rethink very carefully. No, i need to rethink. Study. Actually, does for you. Well, let me ask you a question. Let me ask you a question. Let me ask you a question. The institute for fiscal studies have reported that per pupil funding has fallen by 9 in recent years. Where do you think schools are getting to money Fund Teachers to teach how to boil some pasta or how to chop a potato, how to make some chips faster . No, no, that broccoli is healthy for you. Where do you think the money is coming from, money. You know where the money comes from for food industry, which theyre really poisoning everybody around. So instead of poisoning everybody around, they should put some money back into the school. I personally went to schools and done lots of things before covid. Okay. For kids to show them how to do things properly because i care. And i properly because i care. And i think food is the most important part of our lives. Sure. But schools havent even got the budget to recruit teachers for english, maths and sciences. Core subjects that are essential for Young Children. I mean , if they cant even recruit mean, if they cant even recruit teachers in those subjects, youre suggesting that the money should be diverted to then prioritising hiring, cooking, teachers to teach cooking . I think its absurd what youre suggesting, but, ryan, i think we seem to have lost giancarlo there. Just briefly. Just briefly. I think he might be back now. Yes. Oh, there. There you are. Oh, there. There you are. Im sorry. No, i think i think its so dumb to think that we can really stop instead of giving our kids a basic food every time at school what they do. Really . Bazball i was talking to a private school in my local area yesterday, and its quite astonishing and quite upsetting to really see what the pizza and the fish finger chips and more chips. How are we serious . We need to look after ourselves, guys. The food has to be has to be really reconsidered and really, please read my books. Please read it. I changed books. Please read it. I changed my life around. I really have because food is the most important thing of our human lives. Lives. But im not. Im not denying that about the taxes, money. Well, who who where do you come from . What . What kind of planet are you on from . I want planet are you on from . I want to put you on a diet or pocket food every day. You smiling just to smile. Be serious. Are you talking to me . To me . Yes, he is smiling. Yes, he is smiling. I think youve lost your mind. What are you talking about . Youre really giving everything youre saying here. Parents can teach their children about the most important part of our lives. And ive never. I havent denied that at all. I havent denied that food isnt important. Im just saying that when theres a lack of funding, when theres a lack of funding, when we cant even recruit teachers in core subject areas, why are we focusing on hiring cooking teachers . This is a job for parents. Thats what im saying. Saying. Im not denying the importance of food part of your life, because food makes you better. The good food that you are healthy. My son, which are healthy. My son, which really he was suffering for some kind of food. He was eating at school. He had headaches. He couldnt think i thought he was a moron, but hes not. Actually, when we realised that the food was hurting him and thats. And thats basically what happened. So you need to understand that the food is the most valuable thing that we have in our life. Thing that we have in our life. But youre reaffirming my point. You taught your son this, which is what im suggesting. Instead of schools bearing that responsibility, you can educate your children. Thats the job for parents. Thats what im saying. And you seem to agree , i disagree. I disagree because the school have never more morality and they have to really teach kids how to eat, how to go about, and then teaching some other things, which is fine. But you say thats more important idea. Learning about mortgages eyesus banking. The schools, saving, sorry, maths, science, english. Are you saying thats more important than those areas . Listen , food is the most listen, food is the most important thing and then the rest comes on its own because when youre well fed and your brain works properly, then you are then. Then you react. Look how many kids you go to school. How many kids you go to school. They always sleepy and not feeling well, and theyre not learning because the brain doesnt take it. So why cant the parents clear brain children really learn . Why cant the parents educate their children . Im sorry. Why cant parents like yourself educate children . Because why is it down to the teachers . Because the pressure of parents is so high. Oh, we have to go to work in a manual. All the time. They havent got time. So why do we havent got time. So why do we have schools . Why do we have schools . Why do why . Whats the point . Whats the point . The schools havent got time. The schools havent even got budgets. As i said earlier. Well gentlemen, both were going to have to leave it there. Its fascinating listening to your points of view. Different though they are, but sadly, weve run out of time. Giancarlo, very good to talk to you. Thank giancarlo, very good to talk to you. Thank you so much, ryan. Thank you to thank you. Thank you to thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you very much. And carlo, thank you. Ryan mark, i was just i was just thinking when i went to school and i was taught cookery at school, we had we had massive cookery. Classrooms. Classrooms. Yeah, with cookers and everything. I doubt any schools have got that anymore. We had it in mind, but only up until year nine, i believe. And then it didnt become compulsory anymore. Was the case for your school . Did you have cookery classes . Yes, but it was an option, so it was never compulsory. But i just didnt feel you. Clearly you have enough at home. Clearly i get it all at home. Yeah, i learned carbonara how to make carbonara at home. And. What else . Truffle. Taglioni. Oh that was another dish i learned at home. I didnt need to learn that at school. Its waste. Its a waste of time. But is that because youre from you know, a family that that really valued, that valued cooking . Some people arent so lucky, but thats important. I think schools need to stress to parents that you need. Thats your responsibility to teach your children. Theres plenty of opportunities, but i think theres quite a lot of parents i dont almost dont want to say it out loud, but i think there are a lot of parents who may not have the time or the skill to be able to do that anymore. We seem to have bred it out, dont we, but anyway, i know that everybody watching will have a view on that. So get in touch. Do in a couple of moments welcome back to breakfast. You are watching and listening to breakfast with anne and ellie. Yes. Its time to look through the papers now weve got emma woolf and andy jones with us, and lets start. Emma woolf and andy jones with us, and lets start. Andy, are us, and lets start. Andy, are we starting with those parasites in the water in devon . Yeah. This is the story that were still getting. The fallout. So still getting. The fallout. So many thousands of people already in brixham, where south west water have a theres an issue with the quality of the water there. A lady called tanya there. A lady called Tanya Matthews, from brixham has been interviewed in the times today. Shes talking about what its like down at that at ground level. She said that she was feeling unwell and no one was able to put their finger on it. She was, she was speaking to other people and they were equally unwell. She said she put up a Facebook Post overnight. 12,000 other people commented saying just how well they were and one of the worst parts of this story is that obviously if you have a stomach virus, you dnnk you have a stomach virus, you drink more and more water, so people drinking more and more of this awful tap water and getting more and more sick. And the only reason why this Tanya Matthews knew she was unwell was she had two knew why she was unwell. She two knew why she was unwell. She had two cats, one that drank rainwater and one that drinks tap water, and one that had tap water was extremely ill. And so she suddenly put two together and was like, this must be the Drinking Water. And weve got this situation where these Water Companies, south west Water Company, pay millions in bonuses, 27 million in bonuses across different Water Companies since 2020, still still at a thousand sewage spills a day across the uk. And were in a position where the government at the start of this political term talks about levelling up britain. Yet were in a position where, towards the end of the term, we havent even got clean Drinking Water in lots of the country. No, its yet another scandal, isnt it, im afraid. Yeah, it really is. And theres been protests yesterday over 30 locations, this thing called surfers against sewage and lots of them were out and about with their boards saying things like cut the crap and kicking up a stink and just, you know, about these absolutely horrendous, kind of just the sort of discharge of this horrible, horrible stuff into the uks rivers and seas and sewage pollution, and even kelly holmes apparently led a sort of paddle out in brighton. So lots of surfers coming together and just environmentalists and people who care about, you know, about about the state of our water and the scandal that makes it even worse is the fact that there are the fat cats, if you like, at the top of these Water Companies are, as you say, paying companies are, as you say, paying themselves massive bonuses , and they keep boasting bonuses, and they keep boasting about how much money theyre spending on infrastructure. Well, they may be spending all that money, but it doesnt seem to be working for us, does it . It doesnt seem to be working for us either. We have theres a real problem with water in this. Well, one with public services. But theres a real problem with water in that we have the hosepipe ban and we have, you know, oh, you cant turn on your hosepipe. And then we have flooding on all the roads and then we have sewage pollution. Well, what is actually going on . Its obviously been massively mismanaged. No reservoir built for 30, 40 odd years. I think weve talked about it on the show previously. And also, look, if the were coming up to summer, whats the impact going to be on on holiday resorts or tourism in these areas if you cant go in to see people getting ill, Drinking Water, people getting ill, going in the sea, huge Economic Impact as well as the health impact. Yeah, my three year old said to me, we were cycling over one of the london bridges yesterday, vauxhall bridge. And he said, why is the thames so brown . And i felt embarrassed just saying to him, yeah, our river thames is absolutely filthy. Its not just the mud. I thought that the other day i was prominent, i was by the terms and i thought, its awful colour. And do you remember when they were looking for that man that they thought might have thrown him in, and they found other dead bodies in there . I mean, its just appalling. No. Would you. I did a story, probably about a year ago now, and it was one of these surfers. And we were down in kent on the coast , and and we were down in kent on the coast, and you could smell the raw sewage as we headed down to the coast. And he was saying, as you pointed out, andy, that the families will come for the weekend, tourists, that they go for a swim and people get sick from visiting those parts in kent. I mean, its shameful, isnt it . A thousand tourists, two pills, a day. Yeah, awful. Ill get in touch if thats something that affects you. I think it will be an election issue this year, especially for those who live in coastal areas and are affected by this every day. Gb news. Com usa. Right. Should we have a look at this story . Emma we were talking about this this morning. Telegraph front page. This is about insensitive, culturally insensitive barrister wigs. Yeah. So english courts. Well the body that looks after the courts in england and wales actually are in talks to scrap culturally insensitive wigs that the barristers wear, and yeah. So first of all, i sort of roll my eyes and thought, oh, what is this all about . You know, yet another kind of, you know, attack, a woke attack on the on our cultural traditions. But actually, some people have been complaining that these kind of quite archaic headpieces, these weird white wigs that do look very odd on our barristers , very odd on our barristers, actually discriminate against people with afro caribbean hair that they are. And theres already exceptions. So if you have a if you if youre a sikh and you wear a turban that thats an exception. If you, if you wear a headscarf, youre a muslim and you wear a headscarf, thats an exception. So there is some sort of latitude in what you can wear, theres also archaic items, wing collars , archaic items, wing collars, bands and collarettes. I mean, its all part of the sort of flummery it is the flummery, isnt it . And which i quite like. I like all that, but i also can see it is pretty ludicrous to be wearing 17th century costumes in this day and age, and with peoples hair being all different, why on earth are they . Are they . Do they need to where theyve got to leave it . There . We hate doing this. Im so sorry. Because. Oh, its lovely having you in, but we have come to the end of our time. Well go and row about it in the car. Go and have a row in the green room. Emma and andy, thank you very much indeed. Lets have a look at the weather now with catherine. Looks like things are heating up. Boxt boilers sponsors of up. Boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. Good morning and welcome to your gb news weather update from the met office. A murky start for some of us, but theres going to be plenty of warm sunshine around. Perhaps just the odd isolated shower. So through this morning, a murky start for some, especially across central and southeastern england, that cloud should generally break up by mid morning. Cloudier across parts of scotland, especially along that east coast where we hold on to quite a lot of low cloud. But elsewhere, plenty of sunshine on offer. Perhaps the odd shower developing, especially across parts of the south west, but otherwise it is going to be feeling very warm in that sunshine with highs up to 24, possibly 25 degrees, but feeling much cooler across scotland and especially down that eastern coast of North Eastern england. So taking a look into this evening, plenty of late evening sunshine to end the weekend, the odd shower possible across devon and cornwall, but most places are staying dry. Perhaps. A few staying dry. Perhaps. A few showers developing across dumfries and galloway. And for parts of scotland, but further west. A dry evening. A lot of low cloud, though still lingering, especially across eastern parts. Thats where its going to be feeling cooler throughout. Much of sunday. And then as we go into the evening, very dry picture is on offer. Low cloud once again though, coming in from the north sea and moving its way inland to give a murky start. But for east, for western parts it is going to be turning a little bit chillier, especially in any rural parts. But otherwise holding up at around 10 or 11 degrees to start monday morning. So that does leave a lot of low cloud around once again to start monday morning. So a bit of a murky start for rush hour. But that low cloud should lift and break and burn its way back towards coastal areas to leave another largely fine and dry day. A few showers will bubble up across parts of Northern Ireland, but otherwise temperatures around 20, possibly up to 22 degrees. That warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. Away. Good morning. Its 9 00 on sunday, the 19th of may. Today, a potential nhs clampdown. Labour promised to fix the crumbling Health Service by making staff work evenings and weekends. Weekends. We will cut nhs waiting times with 40,000 more appointments each week, at evenings and weekends. Paid for by cracking down on tax dodgers and non dom loopholes. Health care for the many paid for by the few. And last nights fight was one for the history books. As undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk becomes the first person to beat tyson fury in what many people are calling one of the greatest moments in boxing clean water. At last, thousands in devon receive word that they no longer need to boil their water. But is pubuc need to boil their water. But is public trust broken . Public trust broken . And its a Royal Wedding anniversary today because its six years to the day since prince harry and Meghan Markle got married in windsor, and it all comes as her suits co star says that meghan is actually aiming for the white house after a murky start for some of us this morning that should break up to give plenty of warm sunshine. Ill have all the details coming up. Details coming up. Good morning to you. Good morning to you. Im Ellie Costello and im anne diamond, and this is breakfast on gb news. At lots of you getting in touch on cooking in schools. Thats quite a fiery debate, wasnt it . It really was. And i just cant help thinking that if you would decide. I mean, clearly the National Curriculum decided to stop teaching cookery a long time ago. Well, and so i think in a lot of schools, the kitchens disappeared , and kitchens disappeared, and instead they were taught food science. Wasnt it something that could be taught in a classroom with a blackboard or a whiteboard, but not the same as actually physically learning how to cook , how would you how would to cook, how would you how would you. Youd have to rebuild. Our you. Youd have to rebuild. Our schools are in a perilous enough state as it is now, without sort of saying, how would you actually create kitchens and anyway, it was such a drag having to go into school on the bus and on the train. I had a very long journey into school on a friday. I think it was on a friday. And you always had a cookery basket with all the ingredients in it. Oh thats nice. Like a wicker basket. Yeah. Yes to be a wicker basket. We must have looked such thingies , but you know, all our, thingies, but you know, all our, we went in with these little wicker baskets and you came home at the end of the day with something cooked, like freshly baked or cooked. Yeah. Thats nice. And im trying to find the view. But somebody said that you were, spot on with what you said earlier about it being bred out. Essentially, people dont teach in families. You dont get taught at home. Really how to cook. I mean, i was lucky enough to, but im not sure if people do that now. My mum, my mum always used to say it skips a generation each time. If youve got a mum who cooks then you dont need to learn to cook because she does all the cooking at home and then the next generation. Its the reverse. I dont think that quite works actually. But are you a cooker or a baker . No only in mass terms. You know, i cook shepherds pies to feed four boys. I shepherds pies to feed four boys. I was that sort of cook. I wasnt a sort of master chef type thing, but all of my sons cook like crazy and love cooking, do they . Thats lovely. Thats lovely. And i can only presume thats because i was really bad. No , no. Shepherds pie sounds great. Thats one of my favourites, actually. Well, theres nothing nicer than a Good Shepherds pie. Exactly. Yeah. Making me hungry this morning. Well, do keep your views coming in on any of the stories that we are talking about today. Gbnews. Com yoursay. Heres a nice one from lindsay. Morning, lindsay , lindsay. Morning, lindsay, because we were talking about that person who noticed that her, she had two cats, one who drank tap water and one who drank tap water and one who drank rainwater. And i thought at the time, thats sort of quite unusual, anyway, isnt it, to have cats with such different ideas on water, but. And thats how she was able to tell that the one who drank tap water was getting as ill as she was, lindsay says my cats like dew on the grass in the Early Morning or rain water. I always make sure they have tap water, but they prefer the grass, water, and my little doggy does that. Yes. Ellie the dog . Yeah. She would rather drink from a flower pot than from the cup of water. You put down. Whats that . Whats that about . Is it more. Is it more. Is it more. I dont know, she likes nature. Just really weird like that. Maybe rainwater has a particular taste to it. Oh, and carousel director was just saying that her cat wont dnnk just saying that her cat wont drink water if its been out for more than an hour. Oh, dog. Her dog wont drink water if its been out for more than an hour. I think youve got her spoilt carrots, do you keep your views coming in . Gbnews. Com yoursay i love the way our conversation. Just go wherever you take it. Just go wherever you take it. Really . On the views. Its good, isnt it . Yes, absolutely. Youre in charge. Youre in charge. Youre in charge. Very clever. Shall we get back to some politics . Lets. Because labour has revealed plans to tell nhs staff to work weekends because theyre pledging to deliver an extra 40,000 appointments a week. Yes. This is from the Shadow Health secretary, wes streeting, who also promised to protect whistleblowers and cut the nhs reliance on Migrant Workers. Gb news Political Correspondent olivia utley is with us. Weve been asking you all morning how on earth are they going to pay for it . Youre not convinced, are you . Im not absolutely convinced. Wes streeting says that this £1. 1 billion package will be paid for by by, cutting the non dom tax loop. Well, yes, but non dom tax loop. Well, yes, but the conservatives have already said that theyre going to do that , and said that theyre going to do that, and its thought that it probably wont raise quite as much money as labour have expected. It will, because so many non doms will just leave the country as soon as it comes in. And also that non dom money seems to have been pledged for an awful lot of policies over the past year or so. I mean, its a bold policy from labour, and it is obviously necessary. An extra 40,000 appointments need doing. The nhs waiting list is increased and increased and increased over the past 3 or 4 years. And of rishi sunak five pledges, its the only one where not even the conservatives can really spin that. Hes made any really spin that. Hes made any progress on it whatsoever since lockdown , those waiting lists lockdown, those waiting lists have just gone up and up and up. Labour obviously tend to be a bit more trusted on the nhs than the conservative, as tony blair promised to get waiting lists down in, 1997. And i mean looking at the data, he just about did it. I think that the way wes streeting and keir starmer are presenting it is, it goes a little bit too far, saying that labour got waiting lists down to an all time low. Well, we dont even have the data before 1997. So, but waiting list was certainly lower than they were then. So it could be that that wes streeting keir starmer are the people to actually get a grip on this problem. Its very toxic for the conservatives to talk about nhs reform, and a lot of what wes streeting has been saying over the past weeks and months. I mean, for example, now saying that we need to crack down on our reliance on Migrant Workers, probably quite sensible and something that the conservatives just couldnt say. Just couldnt say. Its all about trust, isnt it . And who the British Public trust to fix the nhs because everybody agrees it needs fixing. But whos the right person to do it . Exactly. And the more i think particularly during, covid and lockdown, the nhs became such a sort of institution to worship and glorify because obviously the doctors and nurses were doing fantastic work in really difficult circumstances. But it difficult circumstances. But it did make it a bit of a shibboleth which cant really be, attacked at all. And i think that was particularly a problem for the conservative government, which historically doesnt have the trust of the public when it comes to the nhs, sort of really slowly won back by david cameron. But over the past, sort of 5 or 6 years, theres become this rhetoric that the tories are trying to privatise the nhs. So probably labour and are in a better position to do that. But i think we need to look at it very carefully at their cost breakdown when it comes out of exactly how its going. Well, yes. I mean, how has anyone mentioned a figure as to what they think they might be able to pull in from the non dom thing and the chasing tax evasion evaders . Evaders . Thats a very good question. Iused thats a very good question. I used to know they do have a figure. I cant remember exactly what it is. How many times have they spent it . Because i seem to remember them bringing it up when they were talking about bringing in more breakfast clubs in schools. I mean, i honestly think pretty much every labour policy that has been announced over the past year or so has been paid for either with that or with the scrapping of vat on private schools and i mean, there is an argument that that theyre not quite calculating it correctly because it doesnt seem like theyre taking into if you look at the actual data, they dont seem to be taking into account how many people will probably a take their children out of private schools if that comes in, and b how many non doms would leave the country if that legislation came in . They are factoring it in a bit, but probably not the full extent of it. And it does seem to be being spent quite a few times over here actually publishing this week a breakdown of, what they say labours black hole is. Obviously we should hole is. Obviously we should take that with a big pinch of salt, but i think it will put the spotlight on all of labours spending policies and probably will show that keir starmer is definitely going to have to raise taxes. Okay, olivia utley, thank you very much. Interesting times. It is interesting times. It is right. Its 9 09 already. Now. Today is the sixth wedding anniversary for the duke and duchess of sussex, whose 2018 windsor wedding captured hearts around the world. Yes, fast forward to now, and it looks like meghan could be set for no less than a president ial run. Its after her former suits colleague said that the duchess could set her sights on the white house. Well, earlier we spoke to royal commentator richard fitzwilliams. Think back six years. I mean, what they seem to forget was the universal praise and her now hostile press was unanimous in saying that this was an absolutely fabulous idea that this was a union that was really going to cement the monarchy in the contemporary period. Theres no doubt at all that everyone was welcoming it. It seemed absolutely marvellous. Harry was so popular and meghan , well, so popular and meghan, well, there were family problems, of course. It surfaced just before , course. It surfaced just before, but i mean, theres no doubt that, everyone with absolutely thrilled at this. And of course, it turned into something of a nightmare. And of course, it then had led to the rift that we know in the royal family. But yes , a very happy anniversary. Yes, a very happy anniversary. And of course, this is on the back of their successful visit. Undoubtedly it was to nigeria, and that was interesting because they were able to use invictus. The fact that nigeria may host the games at some point and also, of course , meghan also, of course, meghan discovered she was, quote, 43 nigerian. So there was that to the problem of course, is from what next . And that might involve something political will. However, let us not be mealy mouthed today and lets wish them a happy wedding anniversary i yes, very well said. And now, coming up at 930 is a Camilla Tominey show. And this morning gb news very own emily carver is stepping in for camilla. Very good morning to you, emily. Whats coming up in todays show .

And what is the plan behind all of the extra cash . I also want to ask him, actually, about whether hes planning or the labour party is planning a little bit of an asylum amnesty. Little bit of an asylum amnesty. I want to understand exactly what their migration and asylum policy is, because we know they want to scrap rwanda on day one. Were also going to be having the defence secretary, grant shapps, on the show, very interested to ask him about, about the protests we saw in Central London yesterday.

But its been a fabulous programme and it goes on being fabulous and itll get even more fabulous later. So let us just tell you that thousands of people in brixham in devon have been told, now that their tap water is now safe following that awful parasite outbreak. Yes, and it was awful. The official number affected affected by the outbreak is thought to be close to 50, but it is thought to have affected much bigger than that, much more people, many more people than that. Many saying that going to continue to be cautious despite that official warning notice being lifted. Well, our gb news south of west of england reporterjeff west of england reporter jeff moody spoke earlier to a brixham Hotel Manager down here. The crisis is over for now. Its just a case of trying to get better for those people that are still suffering with this , are still suffering with this, this terrible, terrible sickness that gives you really bad diarrhoea and stomach cramps. But for 2500 people in the area, theyre still being told do not dnnk theyre still being told do not drink the water under any condition. And what were condition. And what were finding now is that its affecting the tourist industry, because a lot of people that were coming down to this part of the world have decided that its possibly best to stay away for now. Well, im here at the berry head hotel, where the views are quite stunning, arent they, kay . They really are. Were very lucky. Were very lucky. Were very lucky. You are indeed. You really want to come here, dont you . You certainly do, so when did you first find out about the problem . Problem . So i think i would say it was probably tuesday , there was a probably tuesday, there was a lot on local social media, people saying they felt ill, stomach bugs, the water tasted funny, so we, contacted southwest water , and we asked southwest water, and we asked them if there was a problem in them if there was a problem in the area, and we were told that the area, and we were told that the water was fine to drink. So, but as a business, we decided to take measures, so we bought stacks of bottled water in just so that our guests felt reassured , we put measures in to reassured, we put measures in to make sure that all our salad was washed in boiled water. All the prep area was, you know, we used boiled water for cleaning , we boiled water for cleaning, we stopped using our, soda gun , stopped using our, soda gun, coke, lemonade. We bought bottled in, so that the gas could still have the experience that they wanted and not worry about drinking the tap water, and are now told that the tap water is fine here. But are you finding that thats affecting your business . Certainly , people have been certainly, people have been ringing, asking, is it safe to come, which weve reassured them it is because of the measures that we put in place , but we that we put in place, but we have had some cancellations. Yes some people have cancelled and decided to rebook in a week or sos time, hoping that this will the situation will improve. And of course , this is a not and of course, this is a not just a national story, but its been reported internationally as well, hasnt it . How has the hype around the story, the fact there are journalists like me swarming around the town . How has that affected the Tourism Industry . Do you think . Industry . Do you think . I think, possibly it has possibly made people feel a little bit more concerned about coming to the area, on the news this morning in france, on a national station, they were saying, dont visit the southwest, but i can assure you that everybody, especially here in brixham , will have taken in brixham, will have taken measures to make sure that guests are well looked after. You know, were not just a tourist town, but we do have a lot of tourists. We do want tourists to come and stay, you know, i think people are just still a little bit nervous. Still a little bit nervous. Well, i must say, it looks absolutely lovely there today. Is it beautiful, i just hope you can trust your water supply. The question is, will they talking of water . We were talking earlier about, in fact, it was the lady who actually one of she first raised the alarm about the water because she said , apart from the because she said, apart from the fact that she was ill herself, shes got two cats, one of whom will only drink rainwater, and the other one who drinks tap water. Yes. And she noticed that the one who drinks tap water was as ill as she was being. And thats what first alerted her to the fact that it might be something in the tap water. And brians been in touch on that exact point, saying the cats that drank different water leading to the discovery of this parasite. She get a bonus . How about the fat cats bonus of those who run the Water Company . Very good point apparently, and lots of people are now getting in touch saying that a lot of animals dont like tap water because they can smell the chemicals really in it, and that sort of makes sense. So clever. Because sometimes, depending where you go in the country, actually, sometimes tap water really does smell of chlorine or something, doesnt it . So that could be all to do with it anyway. But thanks very much for anyway. But thanks very much for getting in touch on that one. Yeah, and helens been in touch saying the Water Company should have to pick up the nhs bill for those people who have sought treatment after this water issue, why should the Great British public have to pay for it . Maybe as well. For it . Maybe as well. Reparations to the affected businesses . Businesses . Oh, it must have had a knock on effect throughout and certainly restaurants. The official number we said was 50 people who were affected. It sounds as though it was far bigger than that. Yeah, but no doubt well well be finding out more and throughout the day because , were just about to go because, were just about to go off and have a glass of water or something stronger, i dont know. Yeah. So thats all from us right now. Up next, of course, its the Camilla Tominey show today with emily carver. Show today with emily carver. A brighter outlook with boxt solar. Sponsors of weather on. Solar. Sponsors of weather on. Gb news. Good morning and welcome to your gb news weather update from the met office. A murky start for some of us, but theres going to be plenty of warm sunshine around. Perhaps just the odd isolated shower. So through this morning, a murky start for some, especially across central and southeastern england, that cloud should generally break up by mid morning. Generally break up by mid morning. Cloudier across mid morning. Cloudier across parts of scotland, especially along that east coast where we hold on to quite a lot of low cloud. But elsewhere, plenty of sunshine on offer, perhaps the odd shower developing, especially across parts of the south west, but otherwise it is going to be feeling very warm in that sunshine with highs up to 24, possibly 25 degrees, but feeling much cooler across scotland and especially down that eastern coast of North Eastern england. So taking a look into the evening, plenty of late evening sunshine to end the weekend. The odd shower possible across devon and cornwall. But most places are staying dry, perhaps a few showers developing across dumfries and galloway and for parts of scotland, but further west a dry evening. A lot of low cloud, though still lingering, especially across eastern parts. Thats where its going to be feeling cooler throughout much of sunday. And then as we go into the evening, very dry picture is on offer. Low cloud once again though, coming in from the north sea and moving its way inland to give a murky start. But for east, for western parts it is going to be turning a little bit chillier, especially in any rural parts, but otherwise holding up at around 10 or 11 degrees to start monday morning. So that does leave a lot of low cloud around once again to start monday morning. So a bit of a murky start for rush hour. But that low cloud should lift and break and burn its way back towards coastal areas to leave another largely fine and dry day. Few showers will bubble up across parts of Northern Ireland, but otherwise temperatures around 20, possibly up to 22 degrees. That warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on.
