No. No. Samantha cohen, the queens press secretary for 17 years, says her majesty loved it when things went wrong and it spiced up her life when a cake was not cutting or a plaque didnt unveil. So she liked it. So she liked it. When it all went, she just rolled with the punches. Yeah, thats quite nice. Thats quite nice. Apparently she used to have a good. Good chortle. Well, i think that shows that she has good sense of humour. She has a good sense of humour. Oh, her, we miss yeah. Oh, bless her, we miss her, we . Her, dont we . We miss her. We do miss her. We do miss her. We do miss her. We do. We do. Oh thats nice. Oh thats nice. Its a nice little anecdote, isnt it. Yeah, right. Yeah, right. Should we crack on . Should we crack on . Yes we should. Yes we should. Yes well, the former home secretary braverman is secretary Suella Braverman is leading for the leading calls today for the metropolitan chief, mark leading calls today for the metropotoan chief, mark leading calls today for the metropoto quit chief, mark leading calls today for the metropoto quit overchief, mark leading calls today for the metropoto quit over what mark leading calls today for the metropoto quit over what shek rowley, to quit over what she describes as a litany of failures in policing pro palestinian rallies. Yes, the latest scandal embroiling the met is the forces reaction after an officer used the terms openly jewish to describe an anti sex autism activist. Gideon falter was stopped from crossing a road near a pro palestinian march by the officer , who described him as officer, who described him as quite openly jewish. While the force has since apologised not once but twice. Apologised not once but twice. Well, joining us in the studio is political commentator john oxley. Good to see you this oxley. Good to see you this morning, john. And this is just going from bad to worse, the metropolitan police, isnt it . Absolutely. So this has been developing the course of developing over the course of the obviously, theres the the week. Obviously, theres the background already of questions over handled these over how theyve handled these protests, there was this protests, but there was this incident last weekend, that received a lot of publicity. Then they apologised and theyve now actually had to apologise over their apology because it was so poorly worded and seen as just as inflammatory as their first mistake. Just scrapping the man at the top. Help. I mean, hes not been top. Help. I mean, hes not been in the job very long for a kick off, i mean, if he if he can give assurances that things will change, perhaps hes best left in place to get on with that. Well, this is the long running issue that we had with his predecessor, Cressida Dick, who came under criticism for different reasons, particularly in the wake of the Sarah Everard case, but , in the wake of the Sarah Everard case, but, you in the wake of the Sarah Everard case, but , you know, in the wake of the Sarah Everard case, but, you know, part of in the wake of the Sarah Everard case, but , you know, part of the case, but, you know, part of the question is if the police are still struggling to find someone who can affect these sort of changes, do we to think changes, do we have to think more broadly about an organisation . Know, the organisation . You know, the current it, you know, mr rowley already being criticised around his response to the review following the murder of Sarah Everard and how the police have handled a range of issues, so the question is, you know , if the question is, you know, if hes not right, is there anyone who can get this organisation acting properly and in the pubuc acting properly and in the Public Interest . Makes you think about the comments from the anti extremism tsar about a month ago, who warned that there were no go zones forjews in were no go zones for jews in Central London and the man in the centre of this row, gideon falter, the man who was told that he looked openly jewish. Hes written in the sunday times today saying that not only are there no go zones forjews, are there no go zones for jews, but he now says its a police enforced jew free zone. What do you make of those comments . You make of those comments . I think its very hard to comment to someone who isnt jewish, but i think what were seeing from a number of members of the Jewish Community is they are very much feeling that way, and incidents like this show, you the polices primary you know, the polices primary approach here seems to be trying to avoid trouble, but doing so by taking away what they think is going to inflame protesters , is going to inflame protesters, rather than addressing the fact that these protests are apparently so volatile that the police consider even the presence of someone who looks jewish and is wearing jewish dress , a provocation. And i can dress, a provocation. And i can see why thats exceptionally worrying. If you are jewish, i mean, you can understand why some people and its not that these people and its not that these people dont have a right to protest, as long as its done peacefully and that there isnt the hate language and all the rest of it, but you can understand why people get annoyed it seems to be annoyed in that it seems to be the police are scared of doing anything which would be perceived as in any sense racist or against a against a muslim group or a Palestinian Group or whatever it may be. Yes. And thats exactly the yes. And thats exactly the point. Thats sort of coming out about this, that if there were any other sort of protest and any other sort of protest and any other sort of protest and any other sort of minority, the Police Response wouldnt be that minority has to remove themselves from the area in case it provokes the protesters. It would be how do we treat this as a public order thing . How do we make sure this minority person is safe . And that would probably mean, you know, some quite robust the robust policing against the protesters, not just, you know, pulling this person out of the situation. Yeah. Situation. Yeah. Yeah, its the whole argument about policing in a, in a, without fear or favour. Is it which, which they dont seem to be doing. Be doing. No. And thats exactly it. And they dont seem to be taking on these, you know, protesters when theres potential to become violent in a robust way. And that points , you know, you you that points, you know, you you have to have sympathy with the individual officers on the ground. You know, it shows something wrong about the directions. Directions. Theyre being given and the overall strategy. And thats when you have to ask i to try and fend off russias invasion. Now this was after some objected to sending money overseas instead of spending it on the us, mexico border. Well, ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he was grateful for the decision, which he said keeps history on the right track. Meanwhile, moscow says the passage of the bill would further ruin ukraine and result in more deaths. Well, joining us now is chair of republican overseas, greg swenson. Good to see you this morning, greg. And its taken months to get to this point. Hasnt it. It really has. So its in many ways its about time. And i think theres a general consensusis think theres a general consensus is that this is great news. Wish it happened earlier. Why was it being blocked out. Why was it being blocked out. I think it was being blocked for good reason , many for good reason, many republicans wanted to tie this to the border. And contrary to popular belief, where, you to the border. And contrary to popular belief , where, you know, popular belief, where, you know, the argument was we need more money for the border. It wasnt actually money. And in the in the initial proposals had more funding for the border from the democrats. Thats not the point. They could flip the switch and, and down the border to and shut down the border to a certain degree. So it wasnt as much the money going out the doon much the money going out the door. Its that the Biden Administration decided to open the border when he took over in early 21. So if they had just this could have happened. This funding could have happened two months ago. If biden had agreed to shut down the border like it was closed during the trump administration. And yet, how does it fit within . I mean , i dont know within . I mean, i dont know about your personal view is, but for a lot of republicans who say we fed up of being the we are fed up of being the worlds policeman, yeah, there is element of the party. Is that element of the party. Theres an isolationist wing in republican its in the republican party. Its relatively that relatively small. You saw that the majority of republicans, a great majority of republicans, voted of the funding voted for all of the funding yesterday. It is this fringe kind of extreme element. Its not necessarily conservative. You know, sometimes you read, oh, the conservative wing of the party. Thats not the case. The conservative movement is very pro defence. You know, we endorse military spending. We endorse military spending. We endorse defence spending. Biden has cut the budget in real terms by 2 for the last two years. Thats dangerous at a time like this. So yes, there is this fringe wing and those are the ones that will probably or possibly file a motion to vacate on mike johnson, the speaker of the house, who really pushed this , aid bill through. This, aid bill through. I mean, weve just heard from zelenskyy there who says hes very grateful. What do you think this means for ukraine and what message does it send to putin . Well, it definitely sends a message that the is willing message that the us is willing to support the defence of ukraine. And this is a good thing. And, you know, even this is very reagan esque in many ways where, you know, the Reagan Administration was very much behind allies, behind behind our allies, behind democracy , fighting for their democracy, fighting for their freedom. You had proxy wars going on at that time in nicaragua, for example. And so this is a way for the us to get ahead of it, right . Wed rather help ukraine defend itself. Now than have a bigger problem later. Its actually Cost Effective in many ways. Of course, that also includes i mean, theres more money going to israel as a result of this. Theres also money going to taiwan. Thats right, thats right. And then and then the last element is the is forcing tiktok to be sold to an american owner. Yes. And that that was another priority. But you know, and that was bipartisan in many ways. So tell us a bit more about this. This tiktok. Sure part of what was going on yesterday. Yes. The there is that that threat, that tiktok, you know, being owned by the chinese, tied to the chinese, to the ccp as well as the prc, they they you know, theres an argument that thatis know, theres an argument that that is data and, and potential influence peddling that we just cant live with. And, you know, its similar to, to restrictions on media ownership or Television Ownership by by foreign owners. And so this was important to again, it was for the most part bipartisan. And its a Great Security risk to have the chinese owning that kind of data, and can i ask you about obviously now this very strange situation. Now, obviously, you know, youre going to have trump as a president ial candidate , youve president ial candidate, youve got the various court cases which are getting underway now and all more to come before november. I mean, its all its all very complex and highly contentious. You were not contentious. You were not a trump supporter in the run up to all of this. Whats your all of this. Whats your position now . Would you still like would you i mean, as a as a republican because hes your candidate. Would you like to see him get in . Definitely. Definitely. And now on, thats what and now come on, thats what i struggle with. Sure. A little bit. You know, you, i think you were desantis. Right. Very much so. Thats right. Very much so. Thats right. Very much so. Who was in, in a lot of respects, diametrically opposed to a lot of what trump was standing for. So if you said, well, i wanted desantis and not trump, how can you then go, well, im happy for to go well, im happy for trump to go in well for a few in anyway. Well for a few reasons. Is its a binary choice. One is its a binary choice. At this point, its trump or biden. And to a biden. And that to me is a complete no brainer. Secondly, if in many ways had if ron desantis in many ways had was was similar trump, he was was was similar to trump, he was drawing the same part of drawing from the same part of the of the electorate. He had that, you know, sort of traditional conservatives, but also type. And also the new populist type. And thats that was the appeal of desantis. And that was also the desantis. And that was also the challenge for desantis, because he was drawing from the same part of the electorate as opposed to nikki haley , who was opposed to nikki haley, who was drawing more from the moderate wing or even democrats and wing or even some democrats and independents. So. So ron desantis, many ways was like desantis, in many ways was like trump. Hes a fighter. He he definitely leans toward the populist wing. Yet he was much more disciplined. So i thought hed be a much, much more effective president than trump. Do you not have concerns . Do you not have concerns . Youre not diametrically opposed. But the discipline part. Yeah. Is interesting. Are you not concerned about trump getting back in with his lack of discipline , that unpredictability . Stephen, im very concerned about it. Right . I mean, its back in 2016. We were concerned about it. I back in 2016. We were concerned about it. I was more back in 2016. We were concerned about it. I was more concerned about it. I was more concerned at the time that he would govern less as a conservative and more as a populist or a moderate, because he didnt really have a conservative track record. We conservative track record. We were pleasantly surprised when he did govern as a conservative. And if you look at his policies and his outcomes , they were very and his outcomes, they were very conservative in nature. But the discipline , you know, was a was discipline, you know, was a was a real headwind for the administration. You know, his sort of unfiltered rhetoric. Sometimes its refreshing. And i sometimes its refreshing. And i think that was one of the reasons he won in 2016. He was saying what people were thinking , but it does create an and it leaves a lot of room for chaos. Leaves a lot of room for chaos. And there was a lot of turnover in the administration. So yeah, of course im concerned about it. And we see that even weve seen that even recently. Now is that going to be a deal breaker . Is that going to make him completely ineffective . I dont completely ineffective . I dont know, but i would argue hes probably going to be better at this than he was in the first administration. Youve got a lot of support, a lot of think tanks. Im told from sort of inner circle that the campaign is remarkably more disciplined than it was in 2016. Hes you know, hes had the experience. So we can expect it. Yes, we can expect some some chaos. And thats just the nature of president trump. But what we for hopeis president trump. But what we for hope is that hes better at it this time. Youve got the heritage foundation, for example , putting together what they call the 2025 plan. They are they are right now putting together a team, putting together a team, putting together , you know, a recruiting together, you know, a recruiting platform to make sure that theres effective people in place. One of the things you hear a lot in the media is that evenin hear a lot in the media is that even in the conservative press is in america. Even in the conservative press is in america. Is even in the conservative press is in america. Is that this . No is in america. Is that this . No one thats really skilled or experienced will want to work for him. And that is , you know, for him. And that is, you know, its a i can i can understand the concept that because he did have problems keeping people in his first administration. But this time i think thats greatly exaggerated. Theres plenty of good people that want to work for him. Okay, well be talking to you a lot over the of course. Great to see. Really good to see you. Thank you very much indeed. Now its 6 17. Lets take a look at stories coming at some other stories coming into thousands of people well, thousands of people have protested throughout the canary calling for Canary Islands calling for a limit on tourists, demonstrators calling for those numbers to be capped and kerbs on development, which they call harmful for residents and the environment. Currently tourism makes up 35 of the canaries economy. 14 of the canaries economy. 14 Million People visiting in 2023, six times more than the islands population. Tiktok is one step closer to being banned in the United States , following a vote in the states, following a vote in the us congress overnight, as part of the £49 billion aid package. Tiktok could be banned unless the social media apps chinese owner doesnt sell its stake in the business. The fbi has warned that tiktok owner bytedance could share user data such as browsing history, location and biometric identifiers with chinas government. A Record Number of people will take part in the London Marathon today. More than 50,000 will race through the capital, raising money for Charity Kicks off at 10 00 this morning and will be catching up with our very own Christopher Hope pretty shortly as he warms up for the. Race. Now the labour party has vowed to crack down on crime as figures obtained under the freedom of information act have shown charges for shoplifting have fallen by around 16 since 2018. Well, the shadow home secretary, Yvette Cooper, has pledged that a Labour Government will get tougher on anti social behaviour with new respect , behaviour with new respect, orders to take on gangs and repeat offenders as well. Shes also pledged 13,000 Neighbourhood Police, police, Community Support officers and special constables to restore Community Safety. Community safety. Is this going to be enough . Lets talk to former Police Officer oliver laurence, who joins us now. Oliver, good to see you this morning. What do you of all of this . Is it a you make of all of this . Is it a step in the right direction or is direct order just is a risk direct orderjust going be a in the pan . Going to be a flash in the pan . Yeah. Good morning stephen. Good morning its very good morning ellie. Its very interesting. Announcement interesting. A huge announcement by opposition home secretary by the opposition home secretary Yvette Cooper announcing these additional powers legislation additional powers or legislation which will be coming through along with Additional Resources. Now, announcement of now, the announcement of additional will always Additional Resources will always be any member of the be welcome to any member of the public. But weve got to look at the actual particular problem now anti social behaviour. Theyre more than 32 theyre already more than 32 pieces of legislation, acts, regulations on policy and procedure allowing Police Officers to deal with anti social behaviour. So more legislation , more policy, more legislation, more policy, more procedure isnt going to fix it. I would argue that weve got more than enough. With more than 32 pieces of legislation already out there. What we need is proper enforcement and proper execution of the legislation by our justice execution of the legislation by ourjustice system to make sure that we have penalties for people that commit these crimes in our communities. What do you make then, of the 13,000 suggested Neighbourhood Police , suggested Neighbourhood Police, pcsos and special constables to restore Community Safety . Because i mean a lot of this surely is about old school policing isnt it. Bobbies on the beat 100. And to be honest with you, pcsos have proven to be very successful in the past. But i do successful in the past. But i do truly believe for point now truly believe for a point now where need Police Officers, where we need Police Officers, Police Officers that have Police Officers that can have the of police the powers of arrest, Police Officers that have the power officers that can have the power officers that can have the power of interview and pcsos of interview and charge pcsos are very restricted in what they can do out on the streets and ultimately need a Police Officer to support them. So in my view, its going to back its going to have to come back to you say, bobbies to having, as you say, bobbies on beat. More Police Officer on the beat. More Police Officer numbers our communities, numbers in our communities, liaising community liaising with the Community Members be fed that members so they can be fed that intelligence we who are intelligence so we know who are the individuals causing all the issues we take proper issues and we can take proper instructions. Do these issues and we can take proper instructproperly. Do these issues and we can take proper instructproperly. Do we se an people properly. But we need an effective criminal justice system. Need our courts to system. We need our courts to start sentencing people, and that putting people in that means putting people in prison. And our prisons are bursting seams. So we bursting at the seams. So we dont need investment dont need only investment at the also the enforcement stage. We also need the criminal justice need it at the criminal justice end, when we put in end, when we put people in prison who repeat offenders , prison who repeat offenders, which is the issue with all of this, isnt oliver . This, isnt it, oliver . Because people can say what they like, make these promises and and, you know. And pledges and, you know. Right. Pretty good. Right. All sounds pretty good. Even they stick to their even if they stick to their word. The problem is were not going see the impact of this going to see the impact of this for, what, 5 or 6 years . Stephen. Absolutely correct. Stephen. Absolutely correct. And what i think is frustrating the public at the moment is i cant remember a time where a chief constable came out and started publicly talking about how theyre going to tackle crime. Weve got more chief constables racing to get in front of microphone to front of a microphone to acknowledge forces. Acknowledge their forces. Institutionally then we institutionally racist. Then we have racing to have chief constables racing to the microphone acknowledge the microphone to acknowledge there crime and there is an issue with crime and this is how theyre going to tackle it. You know, i dont know, im concerned know, and im quite concerned what rowley and damian what sir mark rowley and damian owens been doing the owens have been doing for the past couple years in london, past couple of years in london, because dont think city because i dont think the city is any safer than when they came into so need to have into power. So we need to have a change of thought around what were supposed be doing, how were supposed to be doing, how were supposed to be doing, how were to enact that. Were going to enact on that. And need discipline and we need discipline and enforcement going enforcement and what is going on generally. Enforcement and what is going on geroliver, shoplifting in oliver, with shoplifting in this were talking this country. Were talking about yesterday, werent a about it yesterday, werent we a thousand a thousand incidents a day happening this country . Happening in this country . And then today weve got these these stats out. Charges are down 16 ellie. We just dont have the resources to deal with the magnitude of the problem. You know, sadly, since 2014, as weve seen ridiculous cuts which were enforced by theresa may, which has really not allowed chief constable and Senior Officers around the table to deploy resources effectively. Deploy resources effectively. And were watching a problem which has crept up on us. The point were at now where we have a problem which is absolutely out of control across the country side, and you cant have a officer to a Police Officer respond to a theft. Cant an online theft. You cant an online fraud. You know, these are all significant challenges that community until significant challenges that con see nity until significant challenges that consee proper until significant challenges that consee proper funding until we see proper funding allocation, until we see proper recruitment, that includes the retention of the staff weve already got, these problems are only going to intensify. It is a real worry and chief constables and Senior Officers need to get and Senior Officers need to get a grip on it so the community can feel reassured that the police an effective fighting police are an effective fighting force. Force. Okay, oliver, great to see you. You very indeed. You. Thank you very much indeed. I think i agree with him on that one. I do think sometimes as we talk about its all about more resources and you hear it with the nhs and things youve got and you say, well, i think there needs to be some reform at least, as well as as well as more resources with the police. It to be get more out it just seems to be get more out there. I mean, know you look there. I mean, i know you look at whats going on in london at the theres some the minute. Theres some attitudes need to change in the way the policing needs way the policing is done needs to most us up to change. But for most of us up and the country, you just and down the country, you just need more people there. More need more people out there. More bobbies the beat. Bobbies on the beat. Because its not exactly. Because its not working at the moment, it . Working at the moment, is it . Quite clearly something quite clearly so. Something needs will have needs to be done. You will have a that, do you . Let us a view on that, do you . Let us know what you think. Gb news commr say if you take a look at the now. Oh with another the weather now.

Oh, it was 92 for me. Oh, just perfect timing. Oh, just perfect timing. Oh, just perfect timing. Its the. Its the worst thing ever. Have sympathy for teenage boys. Because when youve got this all the time i remember it awful younger brother. Brother. We were the bus station on the way home from school and he said hello to a friend of mine whos in my year, and my friend just like jumped back. Almost. Is it . Hello . Yeah, exactly. Hello . Yeah, exactly. I said, no changes because you start a fight or something. Anyway away from you start a fight or something. From anyway away from you start a fight or something. From allinyway away from you start a fight or something. From all these away from you start a fight or something. From all these thingsfrom you start a fight or something. From all these things tom away from all these things to the football and Manchester City. Theyre through and somebodys voice definitely has not broken. Pep guardiola in not broken. Is Pep Guardiola in fact, hes sounding like a broken record at the moment. He said. Its unacceptable that his side played cup semi final side played an fa cup semi final so after. Theyre playing so soon after. Theyre playing against real madrid in a mammoth semi final the champions semi final of the Champions League on wednesday, which they lost on penalties after a44 aggregate draw. Now they won yesterday. A bit yesterday. Theyre a bit fortunate. Chelsea missed hell fortunate. Chelsea missed a hell of chances. Nicolas of a lot of chances. Nicolas jackson, the main the main culprit. There was var culprit. There was also var shout against against as shout against against city as well, was waved away, well, which was waved away, which of should have which sort of should have seen or possibly have seen or possibly should have seen chelsea a penalty. Chelsea being awarded a penalty. But all about but afterwards it was all about the we talked at the schedule. Now, we talked at length week, havent length this week, havent we, about cup replays, and it about fa cup replays, and it just to me as if, i mean, just seems to me as if, i mean, i try not to be cynical about these things, but Pep Guardiola says afterwards the schedule is, is manic and he said that we shouldnt playing on a shouldnt be playing on a saturday when Manchester United are why couldnt are playing today. Why couldnt man at wembley man united play at wembley yesterday give us extra yesterday to give us the extra days to today . And days rest to play today . And its as simple as that. You its not as simple as that. You cant arrange travel, you cant have tickets month have fans buying tickets a month ago saying, ago and then suddenly saying, well, city have got well, you know, city have got a game on on wednesday. Therefore lets man united game lets bring the man united game forward. Just not as simple forward. Its just not as simple as with transport as that with transport logistics. Half the time logistics. I mean, half the time these are on strike these trains are on strike anyway then have anyway and then fans have to book, book, book, book, hotels have to book, book, travel, not as travel, etc. So its not as simple as just changing it round. But his quotes were quite were steve. And he were quite strong steve. And he said, i just dont understand how survived. Its how we survived. Its unacceptable play unacceptable to let us play today. For the today. Its impossible for the health players. Its health of the players. Its not normal. Now. The reason health of the players. Its not normal. Now. The reason i health of the players. Its not normal. Now. The reason i say normal. Now. The reason i say this might be homogenised across the arsenal this might be homogenised across the then arsenal this might be homogenised across the then weighed arsenal this might be homogenised across the then weighed in arsenal manager then weighed in afterwards i agree afterwards and said, i agree with cant have a team with pep, you cant have a team that hasnt played for seven days days before and days or three days before and has more, recovery time. Has more, more recovery time. Its its almost as its not right. Its almost as if theyre on message together to quell argument. To try and quell this argument. Thats during the thats been going on during the week cup replays week about the fa cup replays and demands that makes on and the demands that makes on the schedule, because theyve seen minister weigh in seen the Prime Minister weigh in on it, theyve seen the leader of the opposition on of the opposition weigh in on it as looks like as well. And it looks like theyre trying seize some theyre trying to seize some ground, of a power grab. Ground, a bit of a power grab. In terms the debate, it looks in terms of the debate, it looks a bit fishy to me, but nonetheless, Manchester United are in action afternoon are in action this afternoon against are in action this afternoon agaokay. Are in action this afternoon agaandy. Are in action this afternoon agaand arsenal are at top and arsenal are at the top are they. Yes. Went to the top. They went back to the top.

They go back the to the nil. They go back to the to the top league. And although top of the league. And although they concede some points with city in the city still they still are in the bump think arsenal did bump seat. I think arsenal did as they could yesterday. Bump seat.

The guy united on at 330. Now the guy who coventry, mark who manages coventry, mark robins. Whos robins. Hes the guy whos widely back in january widely credited back in january 1990 alex 1990 with saving sir Alex Fergusons Alex Fergusons job. Sir Alex Fergusons job. Sir Alex Ferguson trophy in ferguson hadnt won a trophy in his at his first four years at manchester to Manchester United. He goes to Nottingham Forest january Nottingham Forest in january 1990 needing a win. Mark robins gets a key header against a great Nottingham Forest side and that sets them up to win that trophy. Went on win trophy. They went on to win multiple premier league multiple trophies premier league domestically we domestically and in europe as we know, often seen as know, and so hes often seen as this pivotal figure. And there he is today. This is our football. Strange football can be against manchester be lining up against Manchester United today. If united if he wins today. If a coventry who knows if eric ten hag survive in a job all hag will survive in a job all these years later, 34 years on. And its amazing how the poetry just swings around the wheel just swings around in the wheel of oh, very nicely put. I could oh, very nicely put. I could have made it rhyme, i suppose, couldnt i, but can i have a word about this . This snooker player . Yeah. Pretzel. Tell us. Because he. Yeah. He lost two, ten nine yesterday against david gilbert. Gilbert. Right. Hes defending but said defending champion. But he said afterwards throat afterwards he had a throat infection. But hes also more generally forward to not generally looking forward to not being World Champion with all the demands that go with it. Now i just to give you an i just want to give you an insight to what sort year insight as to what sort of year that brezzo had at that luca brezzo has had at belgian. Won £500,000 last, belgian. He won £500,000 last, last may for winning the world title. He promptly spent it and we can see a picture of this. Hes promptly spent it, spent half it a red ferrari , half of it on a red ferrari, which i think well see. Oh, there you go. Well, its a beautiful car, great car. If you want to avoid the but if you want to avoid the limelight, the car you limelight, is that the car you would really. Would choose . Not really. No. No. Ive got well, wasnt the ive got well, it wasnt the only bought because he only car he bought because he spent a on spent £111,000 on a on a porsche, and he spent £75,000 on a range rover sport. He also visited 14 countries in four months. He went to marbella with the arsenal striker, his compatriot leonardo leandro trossard, and he went to la to meet the rapper game. So it doesnt really strike the profile of somebody who isnt comfortable in the limelight. I dont know whether you agree with that. Maybe im being a bit cynical. He doesnt seem to shy , know he doesnt seem to shy, know hes enjoyed some fine dining and on some weight as and hes put on some weight as well. El e thats his his he said no, thats his his words, not mine. Nonetheless, he hes out yesterday Ronnie Osullivans action osullivans in action on wednesday. Selby in action wednesday.

Mail on sunday has Angela Rayner being dealt another blow in her two homes scandal. After the emergence allegedly of a key document signed by her former neighbour, the sunday people leads with Just Stop Oil planning to halt flights this summer by storming airports across the uk and europe in a plan that could cause misery to thousands of holidaymakers. Oh, thats going to make him popular. Lets talk to the writer and journalist combo emma woolf and andy jones. Good to see you both. Thats a new one. See you both. Thats a new one. It is. Yes. Combo like crime fighters. Yeah or like a good pizza, emma, lets have a look at the sunday telegraph. Should we end it . Suella braverman not one to keep quiet, not one to keep quiet. Former home secretary is weighing in on this row. So this is last saturdays one of the ongoing pro palestinian rallies in london. When gideon falter was crossing a road in Central London. He was crossing aldwych on his way back from synagogue , on his way back from synagogue, and he was approached by the police. And he was told that just there, just his just being there, just his presence, being jewish, presence, being openly jewish, as it , was presence, being openly jewish, as it, was somehow a as they put it, was somehow a provocation, a sort of possibly even an antagonism, possibly even an antagonism, possibly even cause for arrest. This is all blown up and many people have have highlighted the fact that the police have not necessarily been the most evenhanded in this, that they have tended to. Well, people are even saying, look, lets be honest, that theres institutional anti semitism in this article. Thats what people are talking about. So suella are talking about. So Suella Braverman is saying that the met chief and this is this is the end of lots of met met scandals. This isnt just, you know, just happened. The this isnt just, you know, just happened. The shes saying that sir mark rowley, the met chief, should quit. Shes talking about should quit. Shes talking about the disrespectful handling of jews at the at the rallies. She says too much fear and even more favouritism is the is seen in the policing of pro palestinian protests and gideon falter says which i think is really powerful. He says london is becoming a no go zone. Even a police enforced jew free zone, which is incredibly sad for 2024 and yet is what many people are feeling as jews. They are feeling as jews. They are feeling that they are not welcome , certainly not safe, but welcome, certainly not safe, but not welcome on the streets. He wasnt even a counter protester. He wasnt even there. He was literally just going about his business with wearing a kippah , business with wearing a kippah, wearing his skull cap, i thought it was really powerful , it was really powerful, actually, reading his article that hes penned in the times this morning saying that if we are no longer welcome on the streets of london, it is the end of the world, because people were saying to him, is it really the end of the world if you cant cross street cant cross the street on a saturday . Well, it is, he says, just being who is, just for being who he is, you know, view. W e the article in the yeah. And the article in the times that the gentleman writes, and he is a really moving article, he talks about how people masks, people with face masks, balaclavas can be covered with pointing at him, shouting scum and sorts other things and all sorts of other things that cant say on air. And the that i cant say on air. And the Police Interest was moving police sole interest was moving him obviously not him away. Obviously not necessarily because they wanted to arrest him for his own protection. The police are saying its easy to move an individual away for their own protection to arrest People Protection than to arrest people for we for breaking the law, and we have situation britain have a situation in britain which is which true. Which is which is true. Mean , its to try and try i mean, its to try and try and look at the other side, because thats what weve got to do in some respects. If youre saying im worried for your safety, yeah, thats what it was. Yeah. But im worried for your safety. Youre probably better off not here. Its a threat of not being here. Its a threat of arrest. And the slightly odd arrest. And is the slightly odd thing. And its certainly not right. But were reaching a point where the police are having to manage situations not on the bafis manage situations not on the basis of rule and law, but on keeping social because keeping social order because they simply dont have enough police to manage these large organisations. This, this pro palestinian protest, the police said to him, this is a pro palestinian march. Im not accusing you of anything, but im worried about the reaction of your presence. If were in a position where somebody cant walk the somebody cant walk down the street with yarmulke on street with a yarmulke on because inflame because it might inflame situations , thats thats an situations, thats thats an astonishing thing for the police to and thats from a to admit. And thats from a frontline Police Officer who i daresay just trying do daresay was just trying to do the thing. Think the right thing. I dont think this Police Officer a foaming this Police Officer is a foaming anti semite in trying to keep disorder. Are creating disorder. We are creating a situation where certain groups of people are allowed to do absolutely they want absolutely whatever they want wear balaclavas, wave flags, lock building, prevent people from going about their daily business, preventing businesses from opening because its easier to allow to do that than to to allow them to do that than to inform than to enforce law. And we simply dont. Its not we dont need more laws. We need enough Police Officers so that we can enforce the law as it is, because the Police Officers themselves members of because the Police Officers the|publics members of because the Police Officers the|publics completely ers of because the Police Officers the|publics completely unable the public are completely unable to have a law abiding society. As stands, andy, lets stay as it stands, andy, lets stay with you, shall we . And look at the telegraph front page well. This is front page as well. But this is a totally different we a totally different story. We must flinch from flying the must not flinch from flying the Saint Georges says Saint Georges flag, says sir keir starmer. , flag waving of yeah, flag waving of a different kind, a slightly more positive variety , sir keir positive variety, sir keir starmer says we must celebrate Saint Georges day with enthusiasm. He reintroduced, of enthusiasm. He reintroduced, of course, the National National anthem being sung at Party Conferences for the labour party in 2022. He now says that we must be waving the flag at labour events. We must be seeing embracing Saint Georges day with enthusiasm , and we must be with enthusiasm, and we must be singing the national with singing the National Anthem with enthusiasm at labour events. However, the fact he however, the very fact that he has say this sort of has to even say this sort of thing would suggest there is a little bit of a problem within the party in terms of the labour party in terms of embracing identity embracing our National Identity and we had david lammy a few weeks ago talking about the fact that was astonished that some that he was astonished that some laboun that he was astonished that some labour, labour mps wanted to remove the british flag. English flag on party leaflets because it didnt go down well in certain communities. He was astonished. Was he . He was astonished. Was he . Well, astonished, but well, he was astonished, but he said that he was rather annoyed he had say annoyed that he had to say actually, in running actually, maybe in running for government should government in britain we should have but have the british flag on. But i agree with i mean, we only had, oh, lord. Whats her name . Emily thornberry. We talked emily thornberry. We talked about this just a few weeks ago, but its not that long ago. She was mocking people with the with the Saint Georges flag outside hanging out the window. Yes. Pakistan was talking about the times when he felt proudest to be british, and one was belting three lions was belting out three lions at wembley, him, and wembley, according to him, and another time reaching the another time was reaching the peak pike, englands peak of scafell pike, englands highest point with mother. Highest point with his mother. Obviously you so hes obviously been, you know, carefully briefed on what could be really englishy things that that wont inflame that wont, that wont inflame anybody, that wont kind of antagonise the scots and the welsh. This is him really going. I mean, labour are going for it arent they. Theyre really theyre another, in theyre trying to in another, in another papers , another part of the papers, theyre trying to single out the over fence off over 65 to sort of fence off that themselves. Now that vote for themselves. Now theyre going for people who are deeply dont deeply patriotic. They dont want any quarter on want to leave any quarter on unchallenged in the run up. Yeah. Absolutely. Right. I think its interesting that the telegraph of interview, keir sir keir starmer varne put this interview on the front page, and it seems to be quite a positive message from sir keir starmer thats got the front page of thats got on the front page of the and think the telegraph. And i think thats interesting. Thats quite interesting. Do you think be do you think we should be more patriotic saint more patriotic with Saint Georges tuesday . More patriotic with saint geccertainly. Tuesday . More patriotic with saint geccertainly. Yeah. Esday . More patriotic with saint geccertainly. Yeah. I;day . More patriotic with saint geccertainly. Yeah. I dont certainly. Yeah. I dont think people knew think most people even knew it was georges on was Saint Georges day on tuesday. All tuesday. I know theres all sorts stuff saint sorts of stuff about saint george in english, george wasnt even in english, british whatever. British and all this whatever. But need a stronger but i think we need a stronger sense National Identity. Im but i think we need a stronger sen sayingational identity. Im but i think we need a stronger sen sayingation it identity. Im but i think we need a stronger sen sayingation it has1tity. Im but i think we need a stronger sen sayingation it has to y. Im but i think we need a stronger sen sayingation it has to bem but i think we need a stronger sen sayingation it has to be one not saying that it has to be one thing or another, think thing or another, but i think having set of values, a having a shared set of values, a shared of beliefs broadly shared set of beliefs broadly speaking, i welcome the sort of multicultural, multi ethnic, multicultural, multi ethnic, multi Everything Else britain doesnt mean i cant celebrate being exactly. I think we have to have a shared central values. Yeah, dont its a very yeah, i dont its a very bizarre. Theres another story in with an unwritten in the times with an unwritten an unnamed piece from a british teacher asked how many teacher who said asked how many people in this in this classroom hate britain . And 30 kids put their hand up. I think weve their hand up. And i think weve got bizarre sort of thing got this bizarre sort of thing where told to britain where were told to hate britain and and talk and hate ourselves and not talk about not wave about britishness, not wave flags, think flags, not sing songs. I think its absurd. Its absurd. Yeah. No, i would agree. I think we shouldnt feel ashamed of being proud of our country. And thats what ive felt over that you over recent years that you somehow, youre, somehow, you know, youre, youre borders racism youre on the borders of racism or xenophobia. Are proud or xenophobia. If you are proud of think that you of britain and think that you know , British Values or being know, British Values or being engush know, British Values or being english being of english and being proud of england well are somehow england as well are somehow worth upholding, because that doesnt that, andy says , doesnt mean that, as andy says, it doesnt mean you dont it doesnt mean that you dont welcome all faiths and welcome people of all faiths and none all different cultures. None, all different cultures. Absolutely. But, you know, you see you see it in nurseries see it. You see it in nurseries and schools and this of and schools and this kind of apologetic ness about celebrating what are our cultures and traditions. Cultures and traditions. Yeah, its very its very odd, can we have a look at this intrigues me. Its in the sunday telegraph. Emma about the iron dome, because were talking once we were talking to mark francois. Oh, mark. Francois who was on the Defence Select Committee saying, you know, the Defence Select Committee, which is cross party, of course. Yeah have called for an iron dome system, but its trying to get the trying to get it financed. Yeah. And Penny Mordaunts joined the calls for that. Yeah, and this is being seen as her sort of on manoeuvres. This is sort of a bid for a tory leadership. Yeah, and she leadership. Yeah, and its she is former defence secretary, is a former defence secretary, but this is not normally within her shes of the her brief. Shes head of the house of commons, but shes calling basically this calling she its basically this is since the iran missile attack, the drone and missile attack, the drone and missile attack, but launched by iran against israel. A lot of against israel. A lot of response to that. And shes now saying, you know, would would britain be able to defend itself in the same way shes saying that shes publicly urging rishi sunak spending on sunak to increase spending on defence, calling it a duty to our and many people our citizens and many people have been saying in recent weeks and months, but, you and recent months, but, you know, just not prepared know, we are just not prepared for the level of the for the level of threat, the global instability at the moment. How would we be in this position , Penny Mordaunt says to position, Penny Mordaunt says to those that say about defence those that say about our defence ambitions, cant do it. We ambitions, we cant do it. We shouldnt do it. Cant afford shouldnt do it. We cant afford it, i say, look to it, she says. I say, look to israel, nation a fraction of it, she says. I say, look to isra size nation a fraction of it, she says. I say, look to isra size thaton a fraction of it, she says. I say, look to isra size that has fraction of it, she says. I say, look to isra size that has staved1 of it, she says. I say, look to isra size that has staved off an our size that has staved off an attack from a nation ten times its size. You know, what would its size. You know, what would we do in that position . And we are simply not equipped for are just simply not equipped for that level threat. That kind of level of threat. And not just about sure. And its not just about investment. About investment. Its also about efficiency and competence. As weve on this programme in weve seen on this programme in recent months. We talked about billions being spent on tanks that cant fire on move, that cant fire on the move, money spent on trident. And yet when we did a test launch of missiles the other week, we almost fired the missile at ourself and then fired at an ourself and then fired it at an accidentally america. I mean, accidentally at america. I mean, its my issue its not necessarily my issue with having an iron dome would be done with private be itll be done with private finance , itll done finance, itll be done with private therell be private companies. Therell be about companies private companies. Therell be about on companies private companies. Therell be about on it. Companies private companies. Therell be about on it. And ompanies private companies. Therell be about on it. And wellnies private companies. Therell be about on it. And well have an working on it. And well have an iron that accidentally iron dome that accidentally fires or fires missiles at ourself or something ridiculous. The something ridiculous. And the second and iron dome doesnt discussed and iron dome doesnt protect if cant protect protect you if you cant protect your borders. Has very, your borders. Israel has very, very borders. They know very strong borders. They know whos they whos whos going in. They know whos going before going out. Previously, before october the 7th. Anyway, with britain, position where britain, that position where people can just literally float on and then and walk on a dinghy and then and walk into , iron dome is not into britain, iron dome is not going protect is it . Going to protect you, is it . Because can just load up because you can just load up whatever attack, terror whatever sort of attack, terror threat, on a threat, missiles, bombs on a boat and float it over . If your border is porous and iron dome does not protect you, well, yes , does not protect you, well, yes, thats an interesting point. I never thought of it like that. So weve got organisational efficiency and investment britain. When it comes to defence. When it comes to defence. Even if we did get an iron dome, its how many years would it to put into place . It take to put into place . Exactly. It take to put into place . Itll exactly. It take to put into place . Itll be exactly. It take to put into place . Itll be a xactly. It take to put into place . Itll be a long . It take to put into place . Itll be a long time. Itd be a huge huge program. Yeah. A huge a huge program. Yeah. Mean Huge Investment as well. Yeah. Theres a sense yeah. I think theres a sense that do need to boost that they do need to boost defence but the defence spending, but also the home office as well. I mean the foreign office, the home office. So many things just not fit for purpose at the moment. I think were end 14 were coming to the end of 14 years of underinvestment and mismanagement, and it feels very, very tired very very, very tired and very broken. Your broken. I mean, if your immigration system doesnt work, deportation doesnt mean deportation. Be getting deportation. We may be getting flights off the ground to rwanda. Ha ha. 200 people. Rwanda. Ha ha ha. 200 people. Maybe weve backlog maybe when weve got a backlog of thousands and thousands of people who have had their asylum claims down and need to claims turned down and need to be leaving the country. Thank you much. Be leaving the country. Thank youyeah much. Be leaving the country. Thank youyeah. Nuch. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that us on very well, that leads us on very nicely express front page nicely to the express front page. A e migrant flights are ready. A e migrant flights are ready to take off. Yeah. Been ready to yeah. Theyve been ready to take i mean its not a, its not the arent problem. The flights arent the problem. Its legality getting its the legality of getting them of their them in and out of their country. You know, the country. And you know, the government talking about government is talking about they are hand are looking forward to hand picking the first 200 passengers to leave if, if and they always have the big word if the governments flagship bill clears parliament on monday. Well, but again, they have this other problem of legally they get these bills passed and then therell be a legal intervention to stop the bill. Therell be a legal intervention because lawyers, be lawyers, as ever, therell be this sort arms race to try this sort of arms race to try and create a situation that overlooks bill for overlooks the bill for individual cases where their human be have to be human rights will be have to be considered. And then you have considered. And then you have the problem people the secondary problem of people on flights , and on board these flights, and theyre always commercial on board these flights, and theyre afters commercial on board these flights, and theyre afters cowhere ial flights, after all, where passengers then try and stop the plane from taking off.

Lacking, especially in england. Its the birthplace of the worlds most widely spoken language, and that alone should be a major sense of pride. Shakespeares day is also on the 23rd of april, and it should be a National Holiday , acting as a a National Holiday, acting as a focus for the celebration of art and literature of this country.

Right. The former home secretary, Suella Braverman, is leading calls today for the metropolitan police chief, mark rowley, to quit over what she describes as a litany of failures in policing pro palestine marches. Pro palestine marches. Well, the latest scandal embroiling the metropolitan police is the forces reaction after an officer used the firm openly jewish, to describe an anti semitism activist. Well gideon falter was stopped from crossing a road near a propane stein march by the officer, who described him as quite openly jewish. While the force has since apologised twice. Well, lets speak now to gb news Political Correspondent katherine forster, who is with us in the studio. Good morning us in the studio. Good morning to you, catherine. And this is just going from bad to worse for the metropolitan police, isnt it . It really is. And night, head of and last night, the head of the mark rowley, and last night, the head of the another mark rowley, and last night, the head of the another apology. Rowley, and last night, the head of the another apology. Rov said , issued another apology. He said, i personally reiterate our apology went on to say our officers will continue to police with courage, empathy and impartiality. But the problem, of course, is that theres plenty of people think that theyre not policing with impartiality. So weve got the former secretary suella former home secretary Suella Braverman, saying sir mark rowley. So, sir mark rowley should go. So, sir mark rowley should go. So, sir mark rowley has been summoned to see the policing minister next week because he says hes very concerned the deputy Prime Minister oliver dowden, has said about the Jewish Community, its hard to think of any other minority that would be treated as disrespectfully as jews seem to be. But he has gone on to say that the police have a hugely difficult job, and indeed they do policing these protests. I mean, the issue is, though, with this and what is worrying is he says, we will continue to police well , they dont appear police well, they dont appear to be doing it in the first place. Well, yes , precisely. And well, yes, precisely. And i would say i mean, ive been at a lot these protests. I was at lot of these protests. I was at a pro israel protest yesterday day, members of the Jewish Community, a few dozen, singing , community, a few dozen, singing, chanting, waving banners saying we will not be cowed. There was we will not be cowed. There was a small pro palestine protest on the other side of the road , but the other side of the road, but the other side of the road, but the members of the Jewish Community hugely outnumbered them. But that is very unusual because week after week we see tens of thousands of people marching in Central London and, you know, the, the, the from the river to the sea, palestine shall be free, which many jews think is deeply anti semitic. Think is deeply anti semitic. You can pick those up. The socialist worker print banners saying that, and there are hundreds of people marching through london with that on a banner , and the police dont do banner, and the police dont do anything. What i would say, though , is, you know, it is hard though, is, you know, it is hard for the police because theres not very many of them. Theres huge numbers of protesters. And this chap was filmed on the same day with another policeman saying to him, look , the problem saying to him, look, the problem is theres so many of them. If you are attacked, theres not enough of us to keep you safe. So i think that is what is behind it. But of course, jewish people, indeed anybody should be to free walk through the capital city at any time. Of course. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we were talking yesterday, werent we, catherine, about the anti extremism catherine, about the anti extremism tsar and his message ago now, message about a month ago now, saying some parts of saying that some parts of Central London had become a no go zone for jews. And it struck me, gideon falter, writing in the morning , saying the times this morning, saying that that which has that not only that which has been but its been said previously, but its now a police enforced jew free zone. Yes. Precisely because the policeman effectively said to him, you need to go away because you are openly jewish. Otherwise we may have to arrest you. I mean, i think the threat of arrest for simply Walking Around would be particularly offensive. Would be particularly offensive. And lord walney, whos an independent adviser and for Political Violence to the government, he has said he thinks that the met police is guilty of institutional anti semitism. Oh, thats going to be interesting. I think hes appearing on Camilla Tominey, his show this morning. Yes, he is so thatll be interesting. Okay, catherine, thanks very much indeed. Thank you very much indeed. Thank you very much indeed. Yeah, its interesting. Im yeah, its interesting. Im fascinated by on a on a personal level. Fascinated by lord level. Im fascinated by lord walney as he is now because , walney as he is now because, when he was campaigning to be mp for barrow and furness, labour and co op, your neck of the woods, my neck of the woods. So, i mean, i knew he used to meet up with him and have a chit chat and all the rest of it. And before he was ever elected. And now look hes been now look at him. Hes been a labour now hes a member labour mp and now hes a member of house of lords. So its of the house of lords. So its a nice a nice fella. Hes nice its a nice fella. Hes a nice its a nice fella. Hes a nice fella. Hes got his head screwed on. Said what was screwed on. And he said what was interesting with interesting is he fell out with the really, over the labour party. Really, over corbyn and all the corbyns , corbyn and all the corbyns, anti trident push because of course barrow is where they build the trident subs and all the rest of it. So he stood up for the area. Yeah, he really stood up for the area. So thats, so hes popular there. Thats something. Thats something. Well, itll be interesting to see what what he says to Camilla Tominey.

Good luck how. Now. Still to come, the Welsh Government are expected to a u turn. While in part on drivers having to drive at 20mph on some roads. But are they right to do it . Were going to be discussing that. Next. Now drivers in wales may not have to adhere to the 20 mile per hour speed limit on some roads, with a few reverting back to 30mph. Yes. Yes. Quite. How many . We dont quite. How many . We dont know yet. The Welsh Government expected to announce changes to the that saw wales become the law that saw wales become the law that saw wales become the country the uk to the first country in the uk to adopt the speed limit in built up practically everywhere here. Yes, well, were now joined by welsh conservative shadow minister for education tom giffard and motor expert adrian mills. Very good to see you both. This morning. Lets start with you, tom. This was controversial in the first place, wasnt it . What do you make of this u turn on some roads . Youre right. This was a really controversial piece of legislation, the most controversial in the history of welsh devolution. Nearly half a Million People signing a petition against the changes. Thats roughly 1 in 6 people here in wales. And the reason they signed it is because it was, you know, adopted in this kind of blanket approach, whether it made in local whether it made sense in local communities or not, you know, that was adopted now , i welcome that was adopted now, i welcome the fact that the Welsh Government are rowing back on some these changes. But, you some of these changes. But, you know, the of cardiff know, the leader of Cardiff Council week that council said this week that materially it would be about six roads in the whole city of cardiff. That would change as a result the changes welsh result of the changes the Welsh Government to announce government are going to announce this the problem is, this week and the problem is, despite change the despite any change in the legislation , the default limit legislation, the default limit will still be 20 miles hour , will still be 20 miles an hour, adrian, what do you make of it all . Well, its interesting to hear what gentleman was just saying. There because its. I always think the welsh are a bit like the french. Theyll scream and shout and theyll go out and protest, english protest, whereas the english just go, oh, yeah, well suck it up you have to think up and see, you have to think with your head. Yes. Its very good to sort of, you know, good to be sort of, you know, react with your heart and sort of oh yeah, need of go, oh yeah, yeah, we need 20 miles hour. 30 miles miles an hour. We need 30 miles now. Statistics say one now. But the statistics say one thing. You drive at 30 miles an houn thing. You drive at 30 miles an hour, and if you drive at 20 miles an hour, the difference is you are five times more likely to be killed in a car crash by the extra ten miles. So therefore, if you live in an area where there are, say , where area where there are, say, where idea, where there are children, old age pensioners, dogs, theres a stables with horses 20 miles an hour incredible miles an hour makes incredible sense. However, i do agree with that sense that governments and councils have gone for a blanket ban on so many roads that i was in a taxi. The other day and the guy said, look at this, its 2 00 in the morning. Im driving down a two mile road. Used to be a road. Theres nobody a roman road. Theres nobody around , im 20. In around, but im doing 20. In fact, doing 18 miles an fact, im doing 18 miles an houn fact, im doing 18 miles an hour. I felt i could have got out and walked and been in bed by the time he parked outside my house. Has be house. So there has to be sensible thought. Was going to say, yeah. As i was going to say, adrian, its a sense of needing common sense on this is it . Yeah, we of course its common i mean, to be common sense. I mean, to be perfectly frank, i hate the fact on roads i have drive at on many roads i have to drive at 20 miles hour. But 20 miles an hour. But unfortunately, the law. Unfortunately, that is the law. And if you look at the statistics in london, deaths are down by 25, collisions are down by 36 and collisions with children and adults where they havent died may have gone to hospital or hopefully have been able to get up and walk away, are by 63. Now can are down by 63. Now you can argue yes , we want 30 miles an argue yes, we want 30 miles an hour across. And dont forget, sorry , im interrupting myself sorry, im interrupting myself here, but at 30 miles an hour, a lot of people drive beyond that. What youd work on the assumption that at 20 miles assumption is that at 20 miles an hour, i suspect people drive an hour, i suspect people drive a bit over that. Unless a little bit over that. Unless they, of course, get picked up by police. And one thing it by the police. And one thing it does stops laying does is it stops them laying down what say sleeping down new. What they say sleeping policemen in the roads, which are. Are always hideous. And tom adrian makes a good point there about safety , point there about safety, doesnt he . Look, this policy is sensible in certain areas, you know, outside schools weve always supported, you know, the introduction of a 20 mile an hour speed limit, for example, the reason the public havent taken to this at all in wales, and theres the outcry that and theres been the outcry that youve seen is that theres been no with no consultation with communities. One of those communities. Its one of those decisions taken by bay decisions taken by cardiff bay and across the whole and implemented across the whole country. Whether it makes sense in communities or not. You in those communities or not. You know, my view is local people, local communities and local councils their Communities Councils know their communities best should have the best and they should have the flexibility in most cases to be able decide , you know, where able to decide, you know, where those 20 mile an hour limits are most you can most appropriate and you can make without make those gains without alienating the public. Well, look, gents, you pretty much agree with each other on that which is, which is nice. And well see what our viewers make of all of that. Before i let you go, adrian, ive got to ive got to say to you, what is your secret . Because its been a while since ive seen you on telly. Mean, enough to telly. I mean, im old enough to be fan that life back in be a fan of that life back in the day. You apart. Apart from the day. You apart. Apart from the fact that youve got a bit of.

Biggest muppet was mey do watching. Glad said it. Well, glad you said it. Well, glad you said it. Lets have a look all right, lets have a look at arsenal. Back at the back, at the top of the press. We talked week didnt we we talked last week didnt we at length about three way at length about the three way fight the premier fight at the top of the premier league. And this really just shows crystallises just shows the crystallises just how your cards your tum your deck of cards can just crumble all, in a matter of days. So arsenal go close towards the Champions League. Two years ago. They go close in the premier league race last year , they spend £100 million in year, they spend £100 million in the summer one player, declan the summer on one player, declan rice. Are going swimmingly, rice. They are going swimmingly, particularly since christmas. Theyre league, theyre in the Champions League, then suddenly they go germany then suddenly they go to germany in they lose the in the week and they lose the semi final. Three days before semi final. Three days before that, to aston that, they lost at home to aston villa. Suddenly the premier league race is not in their favour anymore. In favour anymore. City are in the ascendancy. Out the ascendancy. Theyre out of the champions so Champions League, so the pressure on. Go to pressure is on. So they go to wolves. Yesterday had wolves. Yesterday wolves had some injuries. Know some serious injuries. We know yesterday they were going to name the bench, name a 15 year old on the bench, which he didnt get which they did. He didnt get on. As well stayed in on. He might as well stayed in science. Bit of a shame. Science. It is a bit of a shame. It real all those all that it is a real all those all that funny have had on friday it is a real all those all that funnthe have had on friday it is a real all those all that funnthe bunsenz had on friday it is a real all those all that funnthe bunsen burners friday it is a real all those all that funnthe bunsen burners though. With the bunsen burners though. Well and the periodic table that they so, we, we well and the periodic table that theyarsenal so, we, we well and the periodic table that theyarsenal go so, we, we well and the periodic table that theyarsenal go there we, we well and the periodic table that theyarsenal go there yesterday saw arsenal go there yesterday and win two nil and they were absolutely you absolutely outstanding. You could that they were up could say that they were up against weakened but against a weakened side, but its city its given Manchester City something when something to think about when theyre against theyre in action against brighton and brighton next time around. And so that was good day a good so that was a good day a good day them because look its day for them because look its so easy for us to say make assumptions based on these teams winning all their games. But last week we thought liverpool were beat crystal were going to beat Crystal Palace they didnt. Palace didnt we. They didnt. They home one we they lost at home one nil. We saw at home of course saw arsenal at home of course lose against all lose against aston villa. All these got tricky lose against aston villa. All these to got tricky lose against aston villa. All these to come. Got tricky lose against aston villa. All these to come. I got tricky lose against aston villa. All these to come. I dont icky lose against aston villa. All these to come. I dont think games to come. I dont think city games to come. I dont think chy good games to come. I dont think city good compared to city look so good compared to last year we can guarantee last year that we can guarantee theyre win their theyre going to win all their remaining got remaining games. Theyve got the squad do but whether they squad to do it, but whether they do a completely different do it is a completely different matter. Liverpool matter. This time. Liverpool and arsenal breathing down their necks as we look at necks strongly. As we look at some other from some other matches from yesterday. Not look yesterday. Yeah.

In a plan that could cause misery to thousands of holidaymakers. Holidaymakers. Lets talk to emma woolf and andy jones, who joined us this morning. Emma, lets start with the sunday times. Should we . Yeah, what is this incredible story about haemophiliac children . Well, im glad that you say that, because i feel like i should have known about this many years ago. It has been rumbling on for decades , this infected blood decades, this infected blood scandal. And lots of us, i think , have vaguely heard of it. But i think its a bit like the post Office Scandal. It was never big enough. Never sexy enough. It was never sexy enough. It was never sexy enough. Never headline enough. It was never headline enough. It was never headline enough. But its actually enough. Yeah, but its actually horrifying , so their headline is horrifying, so their headline is endless. Endless bloody disgrace. Theyve got a Campaign Calling for justice to be disgrace. Theyve got a Campaign Calling forjustice to be done calling for justice to be done for the victims. Now in the 19705 for the victims. Now in the 1970s and 1980s, many people haemophiliac children. And haemophiliac children. And haemophilia is the condition where your blood doesnt clot. Hemol coeliac children were used by doctors for reckless medical experiments. They were basically used as guinea pigs in trials to they had blood samples which were sent from america, from blood donors that were paid blood donors that were paid blood donors, often alcoholics, prisoners , drug users, and they prisoners, drug users, and they were experimented on. These children were experimented on. They were given blood that was infected with deadly diseases, hiv, amongst others. Hepatitis c, its kind of astonishing to think of now its being called, i think , the deadliest man made i think, the deadliest man made disaster in post war british history , over 3000 people died, history, over 3000 people died, many more are living with the condition, with conditions. I mean, on the front of the sunday times, theres this little boy, colin smith, who died in 1983, aged seven years old. Other people who died in their 40s, others who died in their 20s. Its a direct result of what happened to it, a direct result of aids, a direct result of hiv , of aids, a direct result of hiv, of aids, a direct result of hiv, of hepatitis c, these deadly, deadly diseases. This child parents had no knowledge or consent to this. Yeah, i can imagine taking your newborn child. Imagine finding your child as as the family colin smith found family of colin smith found out in taking to in the 80s, taking him to hospital, finding hes hospital, finding out hes a haemophiliac, to haemophiliac, giving him to doctors , saying, are doctors and doctors, saying, are we to treat him . Hes we going to treat him . Hes going absolutely and going to be absolutely fine. And then later, in 1990, then seven years later, in 1990, i of aids. I then seven years later, in 1990, i of aids. I mean, i think he died of aids. I mean, especially era, died especially in that era, he died weighing weight of a four weighing the weight of a four month baby. Month old baby. And bone. He was skin and bone. He was skin and bone. But in a case like that, are we are we saying these people were infected . Yes. Were deliberately infected . Yes. Well. Why . Like in 1983, well. But why . Like in 1983, people didnt know what hiv aids was , but it was like really new was, but it was like really new and emerging. It was it was infected blood. Im not saying that the doctors were trying them , but were trying to kill them, but they knew that they were getting blood paid blood samples that were paid for, they knew for, that they knew were infected various things. For, that they knew were infectwere variousthings. For, that they knew were infectwere beingious things. For, that they knew were infectwere being used hings. For, that they knew were infectwere being used hin human for, that they knew were infecthes. Being used hin human for, that they knew were infecthes. Good used hin human trials. Yes. Good often they were told, oh, transfer to this hospital. Were going to try this new treatment. And they werent told. Its absolutely appalling. And absolutely appalling. And actually, you think actually, stephen, if you think about it, actually, stephen, if you think aboutare it, actually, stephen, if you think aboutare people it, actually, stephen, if you think aboutare people still it, actually, stephen, if you think aboutare people still living , there are people still living and of them have received and none of them have received compensation. And none of them have received concampaign. And none of them have received concampaign is calling for a the campaign is calling for a full apology, because a full apology, because theres a pubuc full apology, because theres a public this Public Inquiry reporting this week apology compensation week, full apology compensation for support for for the victims and support for the ongoing sufferers. Think about how people sleep with other people, think about relationships and lovers and partners who may actually be living with these conditions. Living with these conditions. And its still not known. And those bereaved families , and those bereaved families, bereaved families left behind. I mean, there isnt enough money in the world. No, the problem to compensate. And of course, like the post office no government and of course, like the post office to. No government and of course, like the post office to. I no government and of course, like the post office to. I mean, government and of course, like the post office to. I mean, nowernment and of course, like the post office to. I mean, now boris nt wants to. I mean, now Boris Johnson, khan, johnson, sadiq khan, andy burnham, whole load of people burnham, a whole load of people are and they are getting behind it and they were they all were all in power and they all could have something and could have done something and bons could have done something and boris could have Boris Johnson could have done something theyre something about it. And theyre all campaign all getting behind this campaign now, saying, now, which is great. And saying, yes, compensation. Varne. Yes, pay compensation. Varne. Scandal. I think its a scandal. I think theres 100 odd its a scandal. I think theres100 odd mps that are going sign this, motion. Going to sign this, this motion. But about, yeah, but again, you talk about, yeah, 180 but were in this 180 again, but were in this position where we knew about the post office years ago. We knew about this blood scandal years ago. Similar ago. Grenfell were in a similar situation we where its situation where we where its just endlessly kicked into the long no long grass. Theres no resolution. Theres appeal after appeal. Theres report after report. Of the report. We have all of the information and yet we dont have no resolution have any. Theres no resolution for these desperate situations. Well, maybe we need Something Like drama like we saw like an itv drama like we saw with the post Office Scandal to kind into the public kind of push it into the public consciousness page of the consciousness front page of the sunday times. Makes me sad that, but it makes me sad that, i mean, have heard it has been mean, we have heard it has been raised the raised in parliament, the infected the infected blood scandal, like the honzon horizon scandal, it has been raised its raised in parliament, but its never was never. Neven it was it was never framed in this way. It was. We it was it was never framed in this way. It was. We didnt see it in this particular light, did we . We saw it as as as, you know, people receiving , you know, people receiving, you know, people receiving, you know, factor eight or whatever its called. Yeah. Coincidence we happened to be infected. Yeah. Yeah. I think its like the itv drama until its on the front page the sunday times. No one page of the sunday times. No one really gets details, gets really gets the details, gets the yeah the detail of it. Yeah oh, awful, andy, lets take a look at the times magazine, shall we . This morning . Yes tony blair. Yeah. Tony blair, as someone else who hasnt done anything about the infected blood scandal while he while in his years while he while hes in his years of office, theres a big puff piece with tony blair. Glossy interview in the times magazine, and hes reinvented himself as a secret Global Influencer , and secret Global Influencer, and his Tony Blair Institute staff has 800 people, and theyre running things in 40 different countries, and they get 140 million in revenue. Hes basically its basically a look into tony blairs life. And he says that the only people in politics now are the weird and the wealthy, which are supposed has has some seed of truth. The one thing that i liked and i agreed with in this interview, and i know people have got very strong opinions of blair, and i think can agree, whether think we can agree, whether youre a left or wing youre from a left or right wing perspective, are perspective, he says, people are too pessimistic politics too pessimistic in politics about achieved. About what can be achieved. Theres too many in politics who simply want to be in the position , and theyve got no position, and theyve got no interest in positive change. They theyre interested they are theyre not interested in positive change. They in positive change. Or they basically can we basically say, well, what can we do . Are tied and there do . Our hands are tied and there isnt a significant there isnt a significant plan. There isnt a significant plan. There isnt a significant plan. There isnt a thread running through government, whether its whichever were whichever government were talking about, running through government it weve government where it says weve got a plan, lets get behind this. Yeah, yeah , i think thats this. Yeah, yeah, i think thats a fair point, isnt it . Yeah. I dont know whether theyre pessimist , nick, i theyre pessimist, nick, i wonder we have enough theyre pessimist, nick, i wondeintelligent we have enough theyre pessimist, nick, i wondeintelligent , we have enough theyre pessimist, nick, i wondeintelligent , principled enough really intelligent, principled conviction politicians who really care about changing the world needs a plan. Dont mind them being wealthy if they if they have a plan and they really want to things they want to make things happen, they want to make things happen, they want lives want to make peoples lives better. But think lots of us better. But i think lots of us now that many, many now feel that many, many politicians are in sort of politicians are in a sort of time serving. To be an time serving. They want to be an mp. Got a certain cachet to mp. Its got a certain cachet to it. That they dont it. Still, that they dont really care, and that theyre very out of touch with whats going which going on in our country, which is, its poverty and is, yeah, its poverty and waiting lists.

Quite right to john andrews is morning was going is said this morning was going very until mentioned very well until you mentioned tony blair. Yes. Lots of youre very happy lots of youre not very happy about mentioning tony blair, about us mentioning tony blair, but you like paul or but whether you like paul or former politicians or not, youve to look about what youve got to look about what they that good and what they did that was good and what they did that was good and what they did that wasnt good. And at it the hole. And look at it in the hole. So 97, was a breath of so the 97, he was a breath of fresh air. When you think he was, you know, ten years later is another question. Was, you know, ten years later is aand er question. Was, you know, ten years later is aand if question. Was, you know, ten years later is aand if you stion. Was, you know, ten years later is aand if you those videos that and if you those videos that were running of 1997, when were just running of 1997, when tony blair and his wife cherie were going into the door of number 10, genuine excitement there, people waving their flags. Oh, sense it. Flags. Oh, it was sense it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was i mean National Mood was good, mean the National Mood was good, was very good at the time. 97. Yeah, it was, but you know, it was , there you go. Its all was, there you go. Its all changed now, hasnt it . Everything changes, right. Lets have a look at the home secretary. Oh, former home secretary. Oh, former home secretary, i should say, and want to be Prime Minister i think its fair to say Suella Braverman leading calls today for the metropolitan police chief, mark rowley, to quit over what she describes as a litany of failures in policing pro palestinian marches. Well, the latest scandal embroiling the met is the forces reaction after an officer used the terms openly jewish to describe an anti semitism activist, gideon falter was stopped from crossing a road near his synagogue, as a march was going by the officer said he wanted to stop him for his own safety because he was quite openly jewish. Well, the force has since apologised twice. Well, lets speak now with gb news Political Correspondent, katherine forster. Good morning to you, catherine. And its just going from bad to worse for the metropolitan police, isnt it . It really is. And the metropolitan police chief, sir mark rowley, issued yet another apology. Thats three apology. I think thats three now. Night , apology. I think thats three now. Night, said now. Last night, said i personally reiterate our apology, but went on to say our officers will continue to police with courage and empathy and impartiality. I think that last word, impartiality is whats critical here, because theres a lot of accusations that that is not happening. So weve had former home secretary Suella Braverman has come out today saying she feels the met police boss needs to quit. The deputy Prime Minister oliver dowden, has said that its hard to think of any other minority that would be treated as disrespectfully as jews seem to be. The chap that was involved in this incident, gideon falter, hes the head of the campaign against anti semitism. Hes written in the sunday times today, also saying that he thinks the met police boss needs to go. And the met police boss has been summoned to see the policing minister this week. So this row is not going away at all. In fact, is this a government issue though . Is this down to sadiq khan . Well, sadiq khan could sack him couldnt he. The, the home secretary and sadiq khan could , i have to say sadiq khan could, i have to say i think that is unlikely. Sadiq khan could, i have to say i think that is unlikely. And in i think that is unlikely. And in fairness to the police, its clear that this has been very , clear that this has been very, very badly handled. But the argument that the police would make and indeed made later to this chap in another video clip is they said, theres so many protesters and theres not very many of us. The problem is that if you are attacked, we not they dont feel that they could keep him safe. And this is the issue because week after week, tens of thousands of pro palestine protesters, yes, its heavily policed , but still they are just policed, but still they are just trying to avoid trouble. And of course, what that means is that very often , they will say to very often, they will say to people, well, you know , just people, well, you know, just just go away, even though it means that people cant freely walk, jewish people increasingly feel that they cant freely walk in, in london on the days of these protests. And i personally im not jewish, but ive reported on a lot of these the last time i was there, three weeks ago, wed just gone on air. People start shouting on a megaphone because they hate the channel afterwards, we went around the with police around the corner with Police Officers and they basically said to us, you need to go home for your own safety. There was no, its okay. You can carry on. Well stand around you. Well protect you. It was you need to go home for your own safety. So we couldnt do our job anymore, which just beggars belief, actually, as to what is going on. Its interesting because just as you were talking, dave got in touch and said. Mark rowley makes Cressida Dick look competent and effective, which takes some doing, you do wonder if he just. I mean, there was all this great hope that he was going to come in and start to change things and reform things he does just doesnt seem to have happened. Doesnt. And the it doesnt. And the metropolitan police be metropolitan police should be a beacon of how policing should be for the rest of the country , for the rest of the country, whereas it seems like it seems to be in more trouble than any other force because the pro palestine marches, theres been huge amounts of controversy about this. But of course, going back weve had not just 1 or 2 bad apples, but hundreds of bad apples. Sex scandals. You know, rapes, murders, etc. And theres clearly root and branch overhaul needed, but you know, this is this is another aspect of the problems that the metropolitan police seem to be having, because its not just the policing. And you youve outlined the challenges that the police have had every for saturday several months now. But its also then the, the handling of when they do themselves into into hot do get themselves into into hot water because been the water because its been the handung water because its been the handling of this, its almost made worse. Yes. It made it worse. Yes. And it doesnt seem be going away. Doesnt seem to be going away. Exactly. Because the first i cant really call it an apology, but the first attempt to dig themselves out hole was but the first attempt to dig then basicallyt hole was but the first attempt to dig then basically t weve e was but the first attempt to dig then basicallyt weve seen they basically said, weve seen a trend of people going alongside these protests filming themselves because of course, this chap was obviously filmed andifs this chap was obviously filmed and its gone mad on social media. They must understand that doing that is provoking, and thatis doing that is provoking, and that is putting the blame. Yeah. Well, on the jewish, on the jewish gentleman who ought to be allowed. So, you know, its no wonder that robin simcox, you know, an adviser to the government said weeks ago london is becoming a no go area forjews on weeks ago london is becoming a no go area for jews on the weeks ago london is becoming a no go area forjews on the day no go area for jews on the day of these marches. I would say yesterday i was at a pro israel march, not march. Sorry stationary protest, in Central London. There were dozens of people from the Jewish Community singing, waving banners, waving flags. There was a small pro palestine protest on the other side of the road. The Jewish Community, the songs. It was very upbeat, totally outnumbered , the pro palestinian outnumbered, the pro palestinian lot. But that is very rare because week after week, tens of thousands of people on the streets of london and elsewhere through the uk, and the socialist worker prints placards saying from the river to the sea. Palestine will be shall be free, which is very anti semitic to many people. Yes. And you can just go and help yourself. And theres dozens, hundreds of these placards because you know , these placards because you know, theyre printed en masse. And, and the police dont act on that. But, you know, where do you draw the line between freedom of speech, freedom of, you know. Well, yeah. Difficult, you know. Well, yeah. Difficult, interestingly, and thanks, catherine, Christopher Doyle has beenin catherine, Christopher Doyle has been in touch because one of the big issues here is about the safety of gideon falter. And was safety of gideon falter. And was the Police Officer just saying, as some of you have suggested. Well, hes just looking for well, hes just looking out for his christopher says if his safety, christopher says if the policeman was concerned over gideon falters safety, then he should have escorted him across the road if thats where he wanted to go. Actually, i think wanted to go. Actually, i think thats a really valid point. Yeah rather than just saying you need to get out of here, you should have said, well, you know, it should have protected him , shouldnt he . Him, shouldnt he . But then. Interesting. I did see a view yesterday, which i wont be able to dig out now, but its essentially saying, does gideon falter . Expect for the officer to break rank the Police Officer to break rank and to personally escort him across the road in that set of circumstances, potentially putting both of them in danger . So i dont know. Theres two sides to that, isnt there . Well, there is, there is. Well, there is, there is. Do you keep those views coming yeah coming in . Yeah gbnews. Com yoursay there are loads gbnews. Com yoursay there are loa loads of you are getting in loads of you are getting in touch that one, right. The us touch on that one, right. The us house of representatives has finally approved that 61 billion aid package for ukraine. Yes, democrats and republicans joined together after months of deadlock over renewed american support to help ukraine fend off russias invasion. This was after some invasion. This was after some objected to sending money overseas instead of to the us mexico border. Well , us mexico border. Well, ukrainian president zelenskyy said he was grateful for the decision , which he said for the decision, which he said keeps history on the right track. Meanwhile , moscow says the meanwhile, moscow says the passage of the bill would further ruin ukraine and result in more deaths. Earlier, we spoke to the chair of republican overseas uk, greg swenson. Overseas uk, greg swenson. Whats the general consensus is that this is great news . Wish it happened earlier. Why was it being blocked . Why was it being blocked . Why was it being blocked . I think it was being blocked for good reason , many for good reason, many republicans wanted to tie this to the border. And contrary to popular belief, where, you to the border. And contrary to popular belief , where, you know, popular belief, where, you know, the argument was we need more money for the border. It wasnt money for the border. It wasnt actually money. And in the in the initial proposals had more funding for the border from the democrats. Thats not the point. Democrats. Thats not the point. They could flip the switch and, and shut the border to a and shut down the border to a certain degree. So it as certain degree. So it wasnt as much the money going out the doon much the money going out the door. Its that the Biden Administration decided to open the border when he took over in early 21. So if they had just this could have happened. This this could have happened. This funding could have happened two months ago. If biden had agreed to shut down the border like it was closed during the trump administration. And yet, how does it fit within . I mean, i dont know about your personal view is, but for a lot of republicans who say we are fed up of being the worlds policeman, yeah, there is element of the party. Is that element of the party. Theres an isolationist wing in republican party. Its in the republican party. Its relatively you that relatively small. You saw that the majority of republicans, the great of republicans, great majority of republicans, voted all of the funding voted for all of the funding yesterday. It is this fringe kind of extreme element. Its not necessarily conservative. You know, sometimes you read, oh, the conservative wing of the party thats not the case. The conservative movement very conservative movement is very pro defence. You know, we endorse military spending. We endorse military spending. We endorse defence spending. Biden has cut the budget in real terms by 2 for the last two years. Thats dangerous at a time like this. So yes, there is this fringe wing and those are the ones that will probably or possibly file a motion to vacate on mike johnson, the speaker of the house, who really pushed this aid bill through. I mean, weve just heard from zelenskyy there who says hes very grateful. What do you think this means for ukraine and what message does it send to putin . Well, it definitely sends a message that the us is willing to support the defence of ukraine. And this a good ukraine. And this is a good thing. And you know, even this is very reagan esque in many ways you know, the reagan ways where you know, the Reagan Administration much administration was very much behind allies, behind behind our allies, behind democracies fighting for their freedom. You had proxy wars going on at that time in nicaragua , for example. And so nicaragua, for example. And so this is a way for the us to get ahead of it, right . Wed rather help ukraine defend itself now than have a bigger problem later. Its actually Cost Effective in many ways. Of course, that also includes i mean, theres more money going to israel as a result of this. Theres also money going to taiwan. Thats right, thats right. Thats right, thats right. And then and then the last element is the is forcing tiktok to be sold to an american owner. Yes and that that was another priority. But you know, and that was bipartisan in in many ways. So tell us a bit more about this, this tiktok. Sure. Part of this, this tiktok. Sure. Part of what was going on yesterday. Yes. The there is that that threat that tiktok, you know, being owned by the chinese, tied to the chinese, to the ccp as well as the prc, they say, you know, theres an argument that thatis know, theres an argument that that is data and, and potential influence peddling that we just cant live with. And, you know, its similar to, to restrictions on media ownership or Television Ownership by by foreign owners. And so this was important to again, it was for the most part bipartisan. And its a Great Security risk to have the chinese owning that kind of data i its 8 15. Lets have a look at some of the other stories heading into the newsroom this morning. Morning. And thousands of people have protested throughout the Canary Islands for a limit on islands calling for a limit on tourist arrivals. Demonstrators are calling for a limit on tourist numbers and kerbs on development, which tourist numbers and kerbs on development , which they call development, which they call harmful for residents and the environment. Currently, tourism environment. Currently, tourism makes up 35 of the canaries economy, with 13. 9 million tourists visiting in 2023, about six times more than the islands population of 2. 2 million. Now, as we just heard there from greg swenson, tiktok is one step closer to being banned in the United States following a vote in the us congress , and it vote in the us congress, and it could be banned unless the social media apps chinese owner sells its stake in the business. The fbi has warned that the owner could share user data like browsing history and biometric information, and a Record Number of people will take part in the London Marathon today. More than 50,000 people raced through the capital, raising money for charity, and the race kicks off at 10 am. But is it going to rain on them . Well, thats the question. They wouldnt want it too hot. No, they wouldnt mind a bit of rain. No, it might not be a bad thing you want. I think you want a cloudy, mild day, do you . I think thats what you want. All right. Not that ive ever run a marathon. Not that i ever want neither you. Want to. No, but neither do you. Were obviously experts in it. See what ellie it. Lets see what Ellie Glaisyer got us glaisyer has got for us all today. Warm feeling inside from that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers, sponsors of weather on gb news. Good morning.

Yeah, youve always had a regal touch about you, ill tell you who else does. As well as the managing of the managing director of tregothnan to tregothnan tea.

Very to you. And very good. Cheers to you. And where you this morning . Where are you this morning . At tregothnan, is at tregothnan, which is hosting the uks largest garden opening for charity. So people are coming here today to look at the first tea grown in england. We really love tea. I agree with stephen. Every day is National Tea Day in country. Tea day in this country. Ill tell you what, i wouldnt mind living there. It looks absolutely gorgeous. It looks absolutely gorgeous. Tell us about tregothnan because i didnt even. I have to say, weve got a cup of it here. Its very nice. Lovely. Yeah. Lovely. Yeah. I had no idea, though, that we could grow tea in the uk. We could grow tea in the uk. A lot of people dont, but i came on with ellie a few weeks ago, and we talked about tea growing in england and putting the tea the englishness into english tea and, of and, and, were a nation of gardeners and a nation of tea drinkers. So tregothnan thought, why not bring those two things together . And camellia is what tea is. So the first outdoor camellias grew here 200 years ago, and theres only about 150 acres in the uk, just behind tregothnan here, which have got this valley down by the water. Its very misty and sheltered six miles inland from the sea, and there is the perfect himalayan conditions for really high quality tea. You cant produce enough to compete with kenya and the huge tea producing countries , but its fantastic countries, but its fantastic tea and i think today your audience gb news audience should come and collect one of these on the house because your audience, i think, is the biggest tea drinking lot, and theyre really welcome to support the charity here today. Theres three here today. Theres three charities and help make this not just the uks largest garden opening for charity, but maybe the Worlds Largest garden opening for charity. Well, tell you what our well, ill tell you what our lot will do. Anything for a free tea bag, jonathan. Thats thats thats fair. Thats fair enough. So theres your invitation. If down in south if youre down in the south west, get yourself down to tregothnan you can get tregothnan and you can get yourselves one of lovely yourselves one of these lovely tea weve a few in the tea bags. Weve got a few in the studio here, jonathan, because it our british it is part of our british culture, isnt it . It is a huge part of our British Heritage to enjoy a good cup of tea. Its the national drink and i do a weekly column for country life magazine and i think about it. Tea and cake is the worlds first and ultimate pairing, i would argue. So behind me today there will probably be 10,000 cups of tea served and goodness knows how many slices of cake we get. Volunteers making cakes all night and tea and cake is just like peak civilisation. In fact, from about lunchtime today, theres a Chinese Television crew coming to film what they see as an english tea ceremony, which is basically us stuffing our faces with tea and cake. Wow i tell you what, i hope you give them a slice , what . Why is give them a slice, what . Why is it that we. That we adopted it, though . I mean, obviously its not traditionally ours. Its not its not natively ours, is it . It was brought over way back when. No, youre right stephen. So the brits basically copied and took in the Chinese National dnnk took in the Chinese National drink about 400 years ago. It was made popular through royalty and then it became more and more available and the british became master tea blenders. We were the home of the world tea trade. So we were like Thomas Lipton of liptons fame. He became the worlds first blender. And by the way, its the whisky industry which was then copied the tea industry. So people say, oh, well, you know, everyones blending and talking about the finest must have finest teas. It must have learned from whisky. Its learned that from whisky. Its actually other round. Actually the other way round. And then all the trade came through london, and then we kind of lost our way a bit in the last 50 years because tea got a bit cheaper and, and less respected. Tea bags came along. Respected. Tea bags came along. And theres nothing wrong with tea but, you know, weve tea bags, but, you know, weve forgotten actually, theres forgotten actually, that theres a teas out there. We a range of teas out there. We can give coffee a run for its money. In fact, still today theres more tea consumed in the world than by a long way. World than coffee by a long way. Should think so. Oh, i should think so. Oh, i should think so. Well, its. How do you oh, well, its. How do you dnnk oh, well, its. How do you drink though . Drink it, though . I was quite. Yeah, that was my question. On it. Yeah. I was quite. Yeah, that was my because. Oh it. Yeah. I was quite. Yeah, that was my because ioh it. Yeah. I was quite. Yeah, that was my because i was it. Yeah. I was quite. Yeah, that was my because i was it. Intrigued because i was quite intrigued when our introduction when we said in our introduction the queen liked earl grey with a splash milk. Now thats how i splash of milk. Now thats how i dnnk splash of milk. Now thats how i drink like, i like a bit drink it. I like, i like a bit of milk in tea, generally speaking, would have speaking, but i would have thought would have thought the royalty would have had of or something. Weve discovered all kinds of fun things because is such an fun things because it is such an important drink. Weve quite a few of the weve had quite a few of the royals planting tea bushes here at and some of the at tregothnan, and some of the other visit other tea gardens you can visit all so the actual all year round. So the actual tregothnan is only the tregothnan house is only the gardens around that are only open but the tea open today, but the Tea Plantations we try and open much more often, weve had the more often, and weve had the royals planting tea bushes and, the edinburgh put in a the duke of edinburgh put in a tea bush here about eight years ago, which is now we pick tea from a lot. And some of the royals actually like a smoky tea with their, earl grey, which is really interesting. And were making a special at the making a special tea at the moment bridgewater and moment for emma bridgewater and the duchess of rutland. And she is a real tea connoisseur. So were doing some special blends with smoky tea at the moment, which they call lapsang souchong. But in the uk we call them lapsang swansong, because youre not really supposed to call it the chinese name. But youre right, we adopted the Chinese National drink, we made it our national drink, and now thats the thats exported all over the world. Even iced tea world. We sell even iced tea like , brewed here in the like this, brewed here in the uk, made our own home grown uk, made with our own home grown tea leaves. This being sold tea leaves. This is being sold in this year. So, you in america this year. So, you know , were seeing all over the know, were seeing all over the world expert nation of tea world as an expert nation of tea drinkers. And for the first drinkers. And now for the first time, we actually grow it here in uk for the first time. In the uk for the first time. But its going to always be a really to, know, really niche thing to, you know, produce the uk is never produce tea in the uk is never going to become to feed going to become enough to feed the world. We sell it to the whole world. We sell it to gwr who it in first class gwr who serve it in first class and that sort of thing. But, the best hotels , independent delis best hotels, independent delis and thats and farm shops, thats where youll find grown but youll find home grown tea. But were going to be able to were not going to be able to supply major supermarkets. Supply the major supermarkets. Its, its, its nice though, we you know, we sort of we get you know, we sort of doing a, doing a bit of work on, on our, our drink in that way. I have to say i like the sound of a sort smoky tea. A sort of smoky tea. Yeah, sounds nice. Yeah, that sounds nice. Yeah, that sounds nice. Just sounds nice. Ive that just sounds nice. Ive got to ask you, because im just so intrigued. Is that is true often, is that a private house or is it National Trust or something . No, its been private and the same family have lived here since around 1300. Wow. And, and they just love collecting botanical things. Its the safe home for lots of endangered species. So its like a botanical reserve, really. And my background is in botany. So it was an amazing opportunity to collect new things for the garden. And today is one of those really special times when youve got absolute blue sky, suns out. Therell be thousands of people coming from all across the uk and abroad. Actually, weve got lots of germans and even australians have booked to see to see the gardens today and even pick a bit of their own tea.

Pep guardiolas having a whinge i mean yeah, cant blame him. To be. Be fair. Well cant i suppose. Well you cant i suppose. Look rationale is that they look his rationale is that they had this almighty Champions League tie against real madrid which went to extra time on wednesday and penalties. And wednesday and penalties. And theres all the emotional fallout from that as well because were better because they were the better side have won. Side and they should have won. But madrid just did but real madrid just did what they did they did what they did and all they did what they did and all they did what they tend to do and they just got they found a way to got through. They found a way to win. And managers like Pep Guardiola are judged on the champions its huge Champions League, so its a huge psychological blow him and psychological blow for him and the be eliminated the players to be eliminated from tournament on from that tournament on wednesday. To play wednesday. They then had to play another against another big game against chelsea, really chelsea, who were in really decent form at wembley yesterday. Now argument is yesterday. Now his argument is that were asking the players to do a lot. Yes, i know they earn a lot of money, but the science, the science constantly tells us that you overwork them and that if you overwork them and play that if you overwork them and play too many games, theyre at risk injury. I was at a game risk for injury. I was at a game yesterday qpr. A player took yesterday at qpr. A player took his top off you could see his top off and you could see this little vest that they wear. Its this little vest that they wear. Lbs and this little vest that they wear. Ifs andit this little vest that they wear. Its and it tells you its a gps vest and it tells you all information that goes all the information that goes back and sports back to a laptop. And a sports scientist say, this player scientist will say, this player is red zone. Hes this is is in the red zone. Hes this is live data. Yeah and therefore he needs to be taken because live data. Yeah and therefore he needat 0 be taken because live data. Yeah and therefore he needat risk taken because live data. Yeah and therefore he needat risk of ken because live data. Yeah and therefore he needat risk of injury. Because live data. Yeah and therefore he needat risk of injury. Bethe;e hes at risk of injury. So the information is all there. Yeah. To degree you can tell to the nth degree you can tell exactly where a player is in terms their physicality and terms of their physicality and their on pitch. So their state on the pitch. So there science backing up what there is science backing up what he says. His argument is why couldnt play today he says. His argument is why coulwhy play today he says. His argument is why coulwhy couldnt play today he says. His argument is why coulwhy couldnt have today he says. His argument is why coulwhy couldnt have justy and why couldnt we have just had days rest and had the extra days rest and played the sunday . Listen, it played on the sunday . Listen, it is it is. They did get is what it is. They did get through, but the quotes were quite afterwards he said quite strong. Afterwards he said i how i dont understand how the players out its players survived out there. Its unacceptable play unacceptable to let us play today. Its impossible for the health players. Its not health of the players. Its not normal its interesting normal now. Its interesting because arsenal played yesterday and arteta, and their manager mikel arteta, and their manager mikel arteta, an of Pep Guardiola, and their manager mikel arteta, an spaniards, Pep Guardiola, and their manager mikel arteta, an spaniards, hep guardiola, and their manager mikel arteta, an spaniards, he camerdiola, and their manager mikel arteta, an spaniards, he camerdioland both spaniards, he came out and said i agree with pep, weve been flogged as well and i wonder whether theres a little bit messaging going bit of messaging going around because of the debates weve because one of the debates weve had is about the fa had this week is about the fa cup replays and how many extra matches played, we played cup replays and how many extra matyhow played, we played cup replays and how many extra matyhow much played, we played cup replays and how many extra matyhow much the ed, we played cup replays and how many extra matyhow much the schedule. Ayed cup replays and how many extra matyhow much the schedule is ed and how much the schedule is being the players being loaded onto the players and hadit being loaded onto the players and had it hard and theyve had it hard this week. The has gone one week. The argument has gone one way its not often way and its not often a football debate invites the Prime Minister leader of Prime Minister and the leader of her loyal or his her majestys loyal or his majestys loyal opposition to get debates. Get involved in the debates. They seize they obviously wanted to seize a bit initiative and change bit of an initiative and change the and think they the narrative, and i think they probably did that yesterday. Nonetheless, through. Nonetheless, city are through. United at united are up this afternoon at 330 coventry. Right. 330 against coventry. Right. Today, no no what we seeing today, no no coventry. Burnley was yesterday wasnt it. Burnley yesterday. Burnley was yesterday. Theyve given themselves a fighting chance because theyve been all season. Been on their uppers all season. Theyve really struggling theyve been really struggling and been and their managers been criticised. Vincent company as criticised. Vincent company as i mentioned last for not mentioned last hour for not changing principles, not changing his principles, not adapting the premier adapting to life in the premier league. Its all very well smashing every week, smashing teams every week, winning championship, winning in the championship, different he different kettle of fish when he gets to premier league. When gets to the premier league. When you to that top elite you get to that really top elite level domestic but level of the domestic game. But they away at they won four one away at sheffield theyre within Sheffield United. Theyre within three safety. Three points of safety. Nottingham play everton Nottingham Forest play everton at at 130. The at goodison park at 130. To the two teams whove had points deducted more deducted may still have more points deducted well. Its in points deducted as well. Its in burnleys to in burnleys interest to keep in touch because you never know. You get a bit of luck in you might get a bit of luck in the say that they the courts, which say that they could the the points could with the with the points deduction, could find deduction, burnley could find themselves its themselves safe, but its interesting top its interesting at the top its interesting at the top its interesting below the top. Interesting just below the top. Its interesting the bottom its interesting at the bottom as im loving it just as well. And im loving it just very quickly on on the grand prix. Yes we had yeah underway now. But a red one two on but we had a red bull one two on the didnt we . The grid didnt we . Did. Yeah. I mean, look, we did. Yeah. I mean, look, it was very it looks processional again. Im longing for of the christian for the days of the Christian Horner scandal month ago, horner scandal of a month ago, because least it meant f1 was because at least it meant f1 was interesting to discuss, we saw the race yesterday. Lewis the sprint race yesterday. Lewis hamilton playing very well, performing hamilton playing very well, performi 18th hamilton playing very well, performi18th on grid finished 18th on the grid yesterday, is. That yesterday, which is. And that crystallises this problem in lots because he lots of ways because he performed one day and not performed well one day and not so the he cant find so well the next. He cant find any consistency. I think when he goes to ferrari next it goes to ferrari next season it might more interesting. Might be more interesting. Okay much. Thank you very much.

Should have a look emma, at should we have a look emma, at Just Stop Oil and they could be causing havoc airports causing havoc at the airports this summer. Well, andy and have been well, andy and i have been ranting this. Does anybody ranting about this. Does anybody support in the way support Just Stop Oil in the way that theyre going about this . So they are planning yet again. And did cover this story and we did cover this story a few few weeks ago. They are planning again to ground planning yet again to ground hundreds flights summer hundreds of flights this summer to cause chaos at airports, very much targeting that you know, nice domestic flights. But people going just to spain, greece , turkey, people. Just how greece, turkey, people. Just how are they going to get going though . Right. So theyre going to the buildings. To storm the terminal buildings. Theyre glue themselves theyre going to glue themselves to theyre going to to runways, theyre going to clamber onto jets out spain clamber onto jets out in spain and this and greece and turkey, this is illegal. Did that, illegal. If any of us did that, we would be arrested. And these people feel that thats what they can do. And they telling everybody else that theyre wrecking planet. Is an wrecking the planet. This is an undercover reporter the undercover reporter for the mirror one of their mirror who attended one of their meetings, their meetings, and these are their plans, and quite open plans, and theyre quite open about these. This from phoebe and this is from phoebe plummer, whos one of the noisier in just appalled. Noisier voices in just appalled. She herself the wall at she glued herself to the wall at the gallery previously the National Gallery previously and some time custody. And spent some time in custody. Whats interesting is you whats really interesting is you think this is about saving the planet, speech planet, plummer shouted. Speech says time to wake up and says its time to wake up and get real. No Summer Holiday is more important than food security, housing and the lives of your loved ones. Flying is a symbol of gross, a symbol of gross wealth inequality. And we need change. So its not even about saving the planet anymore. Its about food inequality. The very idea that the kind of people who are having package ideals, spain, ideals, package deals to spain, Turkey Greece are somehow, turkey and greece are somehow, you know, gilded billionaires in private jets. Theyre attacking private jets. Theyre attacking the people that have saved up. The people that have saved up. Yeah, its a family holiday, Summer Holiday. And thats what they do. And they, you know, there are so many targets you could attack. We were talking about concrete. You could, you know, you could lithium know, you could attack lithium battery could battery production. You could attack you could you could target the terrible target landfill. The terrible pollution our planet. Pollution in our planet. Then ever outside the and then ever outside the chinese us embassy, chinese embassy, the us embassy, the manufacturer. And there the big manufacturer. And there was a great picture, which i think summed up just where they were prostrating themselves across road london, which across the road in london, which of never been more of course has never been more eco friendly in terms of clean air measures stop gas air and measures to stop you gas guzzlers. Behind guzzlers. And stuck behind this protest electric cars , protest were electric cars, buses, bicycles, people doing exactly that just exactly the things that Just Stop Oil are already asking them to do. We are punishing people that are already bending over backwards for green initiatives and so. Want to and rightly so. I want to protect the planet, and theyre doing nothing doing absolutely nothing about attacking manufacturer attacking the major manufacturer or nations that are or the nations that are continuing pollute without continuing to pollute without any and any censure whatsoever. And they are normal, are attacking normal, hardworking people. And again, its another moron pink its another moron with pink hair telling us what to do. I just dont know why we unglued them. Ipso ive said this. I dont even know why theyre allowed in the perimeter fence. Its not safe. Why are they allowed in terminal buildings . Why allowed why are they allowed onto runways dangerous . Why are they allowed onto run glued dangerous . Why are they allowed onto run glued herself rous . Why are they allowed onto run glued herself t0|s . Why are they allowed onto run glued herself to the wall and glued herself to the wall and the National Gallery . Leave her neither there. Leave her there. How long she lasts there. See how long she lasts without her uber deliveries of. Shed change you know, shed change your mind call. Mind after a call.

Lets have a look the main news this a look at the main news this morning. Home morning. And the former home secretary braverman secretary Suella Braverman is leading the met leading calls today for the met police mark rowley, to police chief, mark rowley, to quit over what she describes as a failures policing a litany of failures in policing pro palestine a litany of failures in policing pro pale thee a litany of failures in policing pro pale the latest scandal well, the latest scandal embroiling met is the embroiling the met is the forces after an forces reaction after an officer the firm, openly officer used the firm, openly jewish, an anti sex jewish, to describe an anti sex autism activist. Well, of course, Camilla Tominey to here tominey is going to be here at 930 morning the 930 this morning with all the politics you and i mean politics you need. And i mean this camilla, i mean, the this is camilla, i mean, the fact that the former home secretary is getting stuck into this , piling an awful lot of this, piling an awful lot of pressure, actually, on the home office and indeed on sadiq khan to make the met change their tactics. Tactics. Well, its perhaps not that surprising that the former home secretary has been quite robust on this, because i dont think she was ever wholly supportive of mark rowleys appointment that was made by priti patel, her predecessor. So thats interesting in the context of the politics of the moment, because of course, we know that Suella Braverman is sort of angung Suella Braverman is sort of angling a future leadership angling for a future leadership position. Argue position. You could also argue that is, along with that priti patel is, along with penny morden and kemi badenoch. But aside for the but put that aside for the moment. I think the scenes that we saw unfold with gideon, gideon falter, the head of the campaign against anti semitism, whos a friend to my show, whos been a friend to my show, whos been a friend to my show, whos been a friend to my show, whos been on my show. Hes been on gb news quite a lot in the advent of the october the 7th attacks, basically attacks, you know, to basically be that a provocation be told that hes a provocation simply he is quotes simply because he is quotes openly poses a huge openly jewish poses a huge problem for the mayor and the commissioner. Already commissioner. Weve already had braverman in braverman while she was in office. In fact, it was one of the reasons she had to leave office the end, she was office in the end, why she was effectively sacked by rishi sunakis effectively sacked by rishi sunak is because she accused the police playing police at the time of playing favourites we keep seeing favourites and we keep on seeing this out the streets this played out on the streets of london, with the pro palestinian marchers sort of seemingly police, seemingly left alone by police, while are just walking while those who are just walking about going about daily about going about their daily business, this case, gideon business, in this case, gideon falter, nothing to do with falter, had nothing to do with the march. Happened to the march. He just happened to find in aldwych at the find himself in aldwych at the wrong time skull cap. So wrong time in a skull cap. So im going to be asking Claire Coutinho, behalf im going to be asking claire co the ho, behalf im going to be asking claire co the government behalf im going to be asking claire cothe government this behalf im going to be asking claire cothe government this morning. Of the government this morning. Shes the change and shes the Climate Change and energy but at the energy secretary. But at the same course, im going same time, of course, im going to be asking what her to be asking her what her reaction to braverman calling reaction is to braverman calling for rowleys resignation. Gideon falter that. Falter himself has said that. And also the deputy Prime Minister, oliver dowden, has been about this. Been quite robust about this. Hes quoted in the sunday hes been quoted in the sunday telegraph know, why telegraph saying, you know, why is jews seem to be is it that jews seem to be treated uniquely in this country . They dont seem to be given the protections that other ethnic are afforded. Ethnic minorities are afforded. So talk about that. So well talk about that. Im also grateful to have on the show. John woodcock, now known as walney, hes as lord walney, hes the governments on governments adviser on political and these Political Violence and these sorts of demonstrations. Last year he was saying these marches will have to stop if they seem to be intimidatory towards jews. The Jewish Community will say that we cross that rubicon some weeks ago. So ill be very intrigued to his reaction to these calls for the met Police Commissioner to resign. Also, ill speaking danny kruger ill be speaking to danny kruger. The gb news viewers and listeners will be familiar with him because of his association with the new conservatives, with miriam weve got the may miriam cates. Weve got the may elections last week, elections coming up. Last week, i picking up, particularly i was picking up, particularly at liz trusss book launch. Funnily enough, little bit of funnily enough, a little bit of chatter about the fact that if these may, elections are really , these may, elections are really, really as is forecast, are really bad, as is forecast, are we going be seeing more . No we going to be seeing more . No letters of no confidence in against sunak . You know, against rishi sunak . You know, even some suggestions last week that might in office that he might not be in office by end of june. Lets put by the end of june. Lets put that to danny kruger. Also, im going have tim shipman in going to have tim shipman in chief, political commentator for the hes got a new the sunday times. Hes got a new book is analysing book out which is analysing theresa premiership, and book out which is analysing the going premiership, and book out which is analysing the going to premiership, and book out which is analysing the going to be remiership, and book out which is analysing the going to be speakingp, and book out which is analysing the going to be speaking to and im going to be speaking to former officer ian former prison officer Ian Aitchison of aitchison about the state of britains prisons, too. Okay. Camilla lots to get your teeth into there. Thank you very much indeed. Well see you at 930. The labour party has now the labour party has vowed to crack down on crime as figures obtained under the freedom of information act have shown that charges for shoplifting have fallen by about 16 since 2018. Yes, the shadow home secretary, Yvette Cooper, has pledged that a Labour Government will get tougher on anti social behaviour with new respect, orders to take on gangs and repeat offenders. Shes also repeat offenders. Shes also pledged 13,000 Neighbourhood Police, Community Support officers and special constables to try to restore Community Safety. Well, earlier we spoke with former Police Officer and the host of the protect and serve podcast, oliver lawrence. Serve podcast, oliver lawrence. Good morning stephen. Good morning ellie. Its very interesting. A huge announcement by the opposition home secretary, secretary, Yvette Cooper, announcing these additional powers or legislation which will be coming through along with Additional Resources. The Additional Resources. Now, the announcement additional announcement of Additional Resources will always be welcome to of the public. But to any member of the public. But weve got to look at the actual particular problem now. Anti social behaviour. Theyre anti social behaviour. Theyre already 32 anti social behaviour. Theyre already 32 pieces already more than 32 pieces of legislation , acts, regulation, legislation, acts, regulation, policy and procedure allowing Police Officers to deal with anti social behaviour. So Police Officers to deal with anti social behaviour. So more legislation, more policy, more procedure isnt going to fix it. I would argue that weve got more than enough. With more than 32 pieces of legislation already out there. What we need is out there. What we need is proper enforcement and proper execution of the legislation by our justice execution of the legislation by ourjustice system to make sure that we have penalties for people commit these crimes people that commit these crimes in our communities. What do you make then of the 13,000 suggested Neighbourhood Police pcsos and special constables to restore Community Safety because i mean a lot of this surely is about old school policing, isnt it. Bobbies on the beat 100. And to be honest with you, pcsos have proven to be very successful in the past. But i do truly believe were a point now where we need Police Officers , where we need Police Officers, Police Officers that can have the of arrest, police the powers of arrest, Police Officers that have power officers that can have the power officers that can have the power of interview charge. Pcsos of interview and charge. Pcsos are very restricted in what they can do out on the streets and ultimately need a Police Officer to support them. So in my view, its have to come back its going to have to come back to having, as you say, bobbies on beat. More Police Officer on the beat. More Police Officer numbers our communities, numbers in our communities, liaising community numbers in our communities, liaising so community numbers in our communities, liaising so they ommunity numbers in our communities, liaising so they can nunity numbers in our communities, liaising so they can belity numbers in our communities, liaising so they can be fed that members so they can be fed that intelligence so we know who the individuals causing all the issues can take proper issues and we can take proper instructions. Do these issues and we can take proper instructproperly. Do these issues and we can take proper instructproperly. Do we se an people properly. But we need an effective criminal justice system. Need our courts to system. We need our courts to start sentencing and start sentencing people. And that putting people in that means putting people in prison. And our prisons are bursting at seams. So we bursting at the seams. So we dont only investment at dont need only investment at the enforcement we the enforcement stage. We also need the criminal justice need it at the criminal justice end, when we put people in prison repeat offenders, prison who repeat offenders, which issue with all which is the issue with all of this, isnt oliver . This, isnt it, oliver . Because people can say what they like, make these promises and and, you know. And pledges and, you know. Right. Pretty good. Right. All sounds pretty good. Even they stick to their even if they stick to their word. The problem is were not going see the impact of this going to see the impact of this for, what, 5 or 6 years . Stephen. Absolutely correct. Stephen. Absolutely correct. And what i think is frustrating the public at the moment is i cant remember a time where a chief constable came out and started publicly talking about how theyre going to tackle crime. Weve got more chief constables racing to get in front of microphone to front of a microphone to acknowledge forces. Acknowledge their forces. Institutionally racist. Then we have racing to have chief constables racing to the microphone acknowledge the microphone to acknowledge there with crime and there is an issue with crime and this is how theyre going to tackle know, i dont tackle it. You know, i dont know. Im quite concerned know. And im quite concerned what sir mark rowley damian what sir mark rowley and damian owens doing for the owens have been doing for the past of years in london, past couple of years in london, because think the city past couple of years in london, be any ;e think the city past couple of years in london, be any safer think the city past couple of years in london, be any safer than hink the city past couple of years in london, be any safer than when 1e city past couple of years in london, be any safer than when they y past couple of years in london, be any safer than when they came is any safer than when they came into so we need to have into power. So we need to have a change of thought around what were supposed be how were supposed to be doing, how were supposed to be doing, how were enact on that. Were going to enact on that. And need discipline and and we need discipline and enforcement. Enforcement. Nearing saint now its nearing Saint Georges day, and to mark the day which celebrates our patron saint parades will be taking place all over country this weekend.

Just tell us a little bit about the society and the day to day, and why we should celebrate Saint Georges day. Well, this was started just roughly about 17 years ago, and every year we owed the parade and the event and we only had a break for two years because of covid. Obviously, it was started by councillor joe tetley covid. Obviously, it was started by councillorjoe tetley and by councillor joe tetley and councillor judith elliott, who felt that we were lacking englishness in mali. So we appued englishness in mali. So we applied to the Royal Society. Applied to the Royal Society. Saint george and the patron is the king. Well, it was the queen then and we were advised because lees dont have a branch to be called leeds, although we keep it in morley. So we just felt that we need to celebrate. Theres so much goes on about Saint Georges and should you know, oh well, weve got other days and what have you, but we should be celebrating because thats about in thats what were all about in england, so we just felt it was really strong. We have a parade of over 1500 in the in the parade. We normally have the re enactment from the, from the armouries , but unfortunately, armouries, but unfortunately, because of the ground being saturated at the rugby club, were having to adhere to their ruling and, you know, weve just got the military vehicles, but therell be about 800 scouts, brownies and not just from morley, but from the all of the outer south leeds area. So its an absolute amazing thing to see. Obviously we led by saint george, on horseback , his name, george, on horseback, his name, i sillies, his name is kevin morley of all names. But anyway, thats his name and he will lead the procession. And at the end we have a bus that takes all the dignitaries up because we will have the lord mayor. Weve got the lord, lieutenant. Weve got the lord, lieutenant. Weve got the mayor of morley, weve got, all the dignitaries will be on the steps and we wave past. We stand on these steps here and we wave past, and they all wave to us. And its just a very, very, very proud moment. I often quite get with it because its get choked with it because its just all whats good just celebrating all whats good about just celebrating all whats good abowhat do you think that is . What do you think that is . And why do you think we should be proud of england and have Saint Georges day . Well gosh, youve got the town host. I apologise for the town hall bells, but yeah, we, you know, we can lose identity. You we can lose our identity. You know, we are a multicultural, faith in the country now. And we celebrate all sorts of different religions and what have you. But i just think sometimes we can get Saint Georges can get pushed away , whereas we are pushed away, whereas we are proud to be england. And its all about its not being, you know, its just being patriotic andifs know, its just being patriotic and its not being damaged to anybody else. But were just proud of what we want, and we just need to show our proudness and we had a fantastic service at the minster on thursday and filled it with morley people.

Still to come, were going to be talking about that huge aid package that congress has finally approved in the United States, £61 billion. Give you all the details in now, the us house of representatives has finally approved a 61 billion aid package for ukraine. Yes. Democrats and republicans joined together after months of deadlock over renewed american support to help ukraine fend off russias invasion. This was after some objected to sending money overseas instead of the us mexico border. Well, earlier we spoke to chair of republicans overseas uk, greg swenson. Uk, greg swenson. The general consensus is that this is great news. Wish it happened earlier. Why was it being blocked . Why was it being blocked . Why was it being blocked . I think it was being blocked for good reason , many for good reason, many republicans wanted to tie this to the border. And contrary to popular belief, where, you to the border. And contrary to popular belief , where, you know, popular belief, where, you know, the argument was we need more money for the border. It wasnt actually money. And in the in the initial proposals had more funding for the border from the democrats. Thats not the point. They could flip the switch and shut down the border to a certain degree. So it wasnt as much the money going out the doon much the money going out the door. Its that the Biden Administration decided to open the border when he took over in early 21. So if they had just this could have happened, this funding could have happened two months ago. If biden had agreed to shut down the border like it was closed during the trump administration. And yet, how does it fit within . I mean, i dont know about your personal view is, but for a lot of republicans who say we are fed up of being the worlds policeman, yeah, there is element of the party. Is that element of the party. Theres an isolationist wing in republican party. In the republican party. Its relatively saw that relatively small. You saw that the of republicans, the the majority of republicans, the great majority of republicans, voted of the funding voted for all of the funding yesterday. It is this fringe kind of extreme element. Its not necessarily conservative. You know, sometimes you read, oh, the conservative wing of the party. Thats not the case. The conservative movement is very pro defence. You know, we endorse military spending. We endorse military spending. We endorse defence spending. Biden has cut the budget in real terms by 2 for the last two years. Thats dangerous at a time like this. So yes, there is this fringe wing and those are the ones that will probably or possibly file a motion to vacate on mike johnson, the speaker of the house, who really pushed this , aid bill through. This, aid bill through. I mean, we just heard from zelenskyy there who says hes very grateful. What do you think this means for ukraine and what message does it send to putin . Well, it definitely sends a message that the us is willing to support the defence of ukraine. And this is a good thing. And, you know, even this is very reagan esque in many ways where, you know, the Reagan Administration was much administration was very much behind allies, behind behind our allies, behind democracy , fighting for their democracy, fighting for their freedom. You had proxy wars going on at that time in nicaragua, for example. And so this is a way for the us to get ahead of it, right . Wed rather help ukraine defend itself. Now than have a bigger problem later. Its actually Cost Effective in many ways. Of course, that also includes i mean, theres more money going to israel as a result of this. Theres also money going to taiwan. Thats right, thats right. And then and then the last element is the is forcing tiktok to be sold to an american owner. Yes. And that that was another priority. But you know, and that was bipartisan in many ways. So tell us a bit more about this. This tiktok. Sure part of what was going on yesterday. Yes. The there is that that threat, that tiktok, you know, being owned by the chinese, tied to the chinese, to the ccp as well as the prc, they they you know, theres an argument that thatis know, theres an argument that that is data and, and potential influence peddling that we just cant live with. And, you know, its similar to, to restrictions on media ownership or Television Ownership by by foreign owners. And so this was important to again, it was for the most part bipartisan. And its a Great Security risk to have the chinese owning that kind of data i well, m well, thats it from us today. We are with you tuesday , today. We are with you tuesday, arent we. From nine till five celebrating Saint Georges day. Celebrating Saint Georges day. Very good, arent we . Very good, arent we . We are. We are. We are. We wouldnt miss it for the world. We wouldnt.
