Or you can tweet at. You can tweet at. Gb news. Politics leading for us this morning. Sir keir starmer heading to the elysee palace today to meet with the french president. The labour leader is president. The labour leader is introducing himself as a Prime Minister in waiting in this break in protocol meeting to discuss policy on brexit and other areas. The Opposition Leader is facing claims hes looking to take britain back to square one on brexit, but number ten has commented that its not unusual for Opposition Leaders to meet world. World leaders. Tom jones used to say that as well. Well. Well, really, its not unusual. Unusual anyway , lets go to unusual anyway, lets go to our gb news Political Editor, Christopher Hope, who im not going to expect to join in dancing with that one. And theres our deputy Political Editor of tom harwood live in london. Christopher, first of all. Morning and yet what keir starmer arrived here last night with david lammy and Rachel Reeves , david lammy and Rachel Reeves, the shadow chancellor. He arrived with a tweet. His tweet said , labour will improve our said, labour will improve our relationship with europe and make brexit work for britain. Now, this morning, ive got to tell you, labour aides are downplay laying any idea that there might be any movement or any any news really. They would they would describe from the they would describe it from the meeting lunchtime with meeting at lunchtime with president theyre saying president macron. Theyre saying its meeting and its an introductory meeting and of course, labour is still in opposition, but its all about the optics is how it looks like theyre trying to show that labour a party of government, labour is a party of government, that go i to i on the that he can go i to i on the world stage with major leaders. This is why its a very, very significant meeting today for sir starmer. That sir keir starmer. Before that hes breakfast vivendi, hes got breakfast at vivendi, a big ceos and big company with ceos and chairmen who have operations in the uk. But its all about how it looks here for sir keir starmer and isabel. Christopher, thank you very much. Well, lets cross to tom, who joins us from westminster downing street. Keen to imply theyre not threatened by this. This no deal, it is a this is no big deal, but it is a bit embarrassing. Bit embarrassing. Well, certainly what what keir starmer is attempting to do is appear as a world leader , as is appear as a world leader, as chris was saying. But if you talk to people in and around government, but if you talk to people in and around government , theyll and around government, theyll point to a former Labour Party Leader who made a similar trip to paris back in 2012. Yes ed miliband made a perhaps ill fated trip to meet with Francois Hollande. The then french president , where he declared a global resistance to austerity politics. Of course , ed miliband politics. Of course, ed miliband didnt seem to get much of a poll bounce from that, although he was meeting with someone who was a much less Popular French president at the time. Of course, hollande did not go on to win a second term as french president , unlike macron, who has just won a second term. So perhaps theres a difference there, although people in london, around the government, around the Prime Minister, will say this isnt the first time this has happened. Look at miliband, look at hollande. Were not worried. Were not worried. Okay. Tom and christopher, thank you both very much indeed i more hm more from both throughout the programme this morning. Lets get the latest on the Sexual Assault allegations against the comedian and actor Russell Brand. The metropolitan police say they have received a report of an alleged Sexual Assault. 2003 an alleged Sexual Assault. 2003 was the year. So thats what, 20 years ago . Years ago . Well, officers didnt name brand but said they were in contact with the woman who came forward following media allegations against Russell Brand. Brand. Joining us, former metropolitan Police Detective Peter Bleksley. Peter, what is Peter Bleksley. Peter, what is i mean, every accusation has got to be taken very, very seriously. But the sheer the amount against Russell Brand with the same story , we cannot with the same story, we cannot be a good position for him to be in. Well, it is a funny little cornerstone of the british criminal Justice System that people are regarded as innocent until they are Proven Guilty. Until they are Proven Guilty. And of course, mr brand has not been Proven Guilty in a court of law of anything yet. But as you have just said, the met have received an allegation of a sexual offence from some 20 years ago and so now detectives will be looking to interview the witness and thereafter to gather any evidence that they possibly can should they be able to gather sufficient evidence then that will go to the Crown Prosecution Service who will make a decision as to whether any charges are to be brought or not. But on that very note, my understanding is that at the moment that the metropolitan police have not spoken to any of the alleged victims who made their accusations , both in the their accusations, both in the newspaper and on the channel 4 dispatches documentary. Dispatches documentary. Yeah. And we know there are lots of reasons why women do struggle sometimes to feel that they can come forward. Lets hope anyone who has made those allegations in the media will step forward and speak to the police as one of the reasons, perhaps, that women arent necessarily all that keen to do so is for many reasons that so is for the many reasons that weve talked about. The problems with metropolitan. With the metropolitan. For example, the example, six months since the force was found to be institutionally misogynistic and here we are today talking about two years now until all of the bad apples in the force can be weeded out. 60 hearings a month are to be held. So i was just are to be held. So i was just getting a reaction to that. Getting a reaction to that. I think the lines gone down. Peter, can you hear us there . Were just were just checking. Were just were just checking. Hes gone. Shane yeah, but well, thats an interesting point that you make. That is a lot of investigations to carry out to see if the actual force is fit for purpose. Well , for purpose. Well, yeah. Well, yeah. And you know, weve talked a lot about that, whether it was pc carrick or whether it was Wayne Couzens women dont necessarily feel safe to trust those people in authority. And those people in authority. And you have stories like this and you have stories like this and you wonder why people dont come forward to the police. Lots of criticism levelled from some quarters at the media for airing this, calling it a trial by media. But in many ways, you could also argue that this bad behaviour bad behaviour, could also argue that this bad behavi never bad behaviour, could also argue that this bad behavi never come bad behaviour, could also argue that this bad behavi never come tod behaviour, could also argue that this bad behavi never come to light aviour, would never come to light without this kind of reporting. Without this kind of reporting. Peter does join us Peter Bleksley does join us again. I was just talking to you about the damage to faith really, particularly from women victims of alleged sexual incidents because of the reputation of, for example , the reputation of, for example, the metropolitan police. And here were hearing its going to take two years, possibly two weed out corrupt officers. Corrupt officers. Yes, the metropolitan police is reputation quite frankly, lies in shreds in many regards. After some absolutely appalling stories that have broken in the last couple of years or so. And there is a lot of rebuilding to be done in order to regain the trust and confidence of the police. However, this is an police. However, this is an organisation that employs many very decent , upstanding police very decent, upstanding Police Officers to whom you can feel confident if you make an allegation of crime. Not all of them are great, but many of them are. And i would urge anybody are. And i would urge anybody who is a victim of any type of crime to please pick up that phone, make that visit, report your allegations of crime, because the police cant investigate something that they dont know about. Dont know about. Peter, thank you very much indeed. Weve got to leave it there. Thank you. And, you know, but i still think that any accusation has got to be treated seriously. Its already people say innocent proven say youre innocent until Proven Guilty or whatever. Fine. But when you get a an amount, an and a similar modus operandi involved in the same sort of accusations , these things have accusations, these things have all got to be taken very seriously. To listen to Russell Browns father. And of course, youve got to defend your children on this. I mean, hes children on this. I mean, hes saying, see, obviously, is this the most important thing in the world happening at the moment . Now, there are a lot of really awful things happening in the world. But i put it to you, if six women are saying that they have been raped , i think thats have been raped, i think thats pretty serious. Well, exactly. I mean, what sort of society are we living in if are to turn if we are prepared to turn a blind eye to sexual crimes and, you know, he may be speaking as a of a son, but just wait a father of a son, but just wait until happens to until that happens to your daughter whoever daughter, to your wife, whoever it might you might feel it might be. You might feel differently. A no brainer. Differently. Its a no brainer. Of course, we have to take these things incredibly seriously and, you due process has to you know, due process has to take its course. With that , take its course. So with that, all the things that Russell Brand admits to about, you know, being free and easy with a lot of women and a lot women of women and a lot of women allowing him be free and easy allowing him to be free and easy with them to. And its all it depends how youre brought up. You know again what his nature is and what his parents find acceptable. Globsec in my day, if you kissed a girl, you had to marry her, which was true in my case. But as it turns out, absolutely true. Hed been married a lot of times. By all accounts, there was only one kiss. Oh, my. Oh, my. Im thinking of russell, my mother. Oh, yeah. My mother and father were very moralistic. Not not religious, but morally mystic. About how you treated add a girl and you know what the relationship was and how serious it was to be and all that sort of thing. But, you know, it comes to down the respect im talking about. Theres a story in the front page of the star today, which basically i have four children right . Today, which basically i have four children right . Three of four children right . Three of them are giants. Its four children right . Three of them are giants. Its well over them are giants. Its well over six foot, right. Three of them. And then ive got my beautiful princess daughter whos a. Basically, shes petite , basically, shes petite, which is what you want. You want your boys to be big and tall and towering, and you want your daughter to be little and ballerina esque. Youve done well, thing is well, but anyway, the thing is that apparent, if you want your children to tall. Children to grow tall. Well, latest Research Shows the more you love them, theyre like a seed, the higher theyll grow. Yeah , but lets just caveat yeah, but lets just caveat that with the latest research being in the daily being published in the daily star , who also about star, who also talk about aliens, most warnings. Aliens, most warnings. I mean, are we saying that the queen saying the the queen wasnt saying the auens the queen wasnt saying the aliens dont exist, that short people are not loved by their parents . Im not sure theres much Scientific Backing anyway. But it is, i mean, im with but if it is, i mean, im with you. A giant, so i must you. My sons a giant, so i must be him a lot. Be loving him a lot.

News big crisis in farming again , big crisis in farming again, were here to champion the cause of farmers as the fruit and veg industry is going to be hit. Now whos behind it . Whos the evilness behind all of this . Apparently eating supermarkets , wobbly shaped or supermarkets, wobbly shaped or weird shaped fruit and veg . Thats not good. Some farmers argue. I thought it was supporting the industry and also stopping waste. Well, well find out coming up right after this the time is 619. Welcome to breakfast on gb news with eamonn and isabel. And isabel. Yeah, almost half of farms is british fruit and veg farmers could go bust in the next 12 months. Why . Why is this happening . Well, many blame the behaviour of supermarkets in all of this managing director of westerhill farm joins us now from kent , westerhill farm joins us now from kent, and westerhill farm joins us now from kent , and that westerhill farm joins us now from kent, and that is westerhill farm joins us now from kent , and that is clive from kent, and that is clive baxter. Clive, good morning to baxter. Clive, good morning to you. You. Good morning, clive. Good morning, clive. Good morning, clive. Morning. Morning. Good morning. Morning. Well, clive, we thought all was fixed. We all we had this great love in with the government saying they were going to support british farming. Whats going wrong here . We hear that supermarkets have cancelled nearly a third of supermarkets have cancelled orders for farming orders with no explanation and again, a very high figure, nearly a third see supermarkets failing to pay. You guys within 30 days. Ive got a ive got a new thing to suggest. Why dont we all go and get our weekly shop and say, well pay you our weekly shop and say, well pay you in a month . Pay you in a month . Well , i pay you in a month . Well, i think youre being a bit simplistic, actually, im sorry to say, about about the way our problems are now. We have a number of problems. And basically the risk reward balance is out of kilter and the retailer section is just part of that. So weve got problems with clive iot, problems with labour. Theres a lot of things causing farmers to think about stopping growing fruit or veg. Stopping growing fruit or veg. The governments actually introducing schemes. To get us introducing schemes. To get us to take fruit out of production as well. So its a number of things that are contributing to whats happening. Question is clive farming how much we need it, how much we should be nurturing it . The question is who would do it . Why would anybody do it in this day and age, breaking up . Im just simply asking you, clive, why would anybody be a farmer . Why would anybody be a farmer . Why would anybody be a farmer . Why would anybody do it in this day and age . And age . I cant hear. All right. Okay. Clive if youve got difficulty there , youve got difficulty there, well have to. I want to know why we cant buy wonky fruit anymore. Fruit and veg. But we will find out. Ill report back and let you know. The idea was we thought. We thought it was the supermarkets that were prevent ing do you say. Ing wonky veg. But do you say. Well, according to my briefing notes, he wants see briefing notes, he wants to see the end wonky fruit because the end of wonky fruit because its loss making for them. And if you buy wonky fruit, youre not buying the class one fruit that we make money from. So that we can make money from. So there go. Its there we go. But its interesting the interesting not just about the supermarkets, also about climate. We know all the problems farmers with problems for farmers with waterlogged field beds and we also labour also know the Labour Market problems. The problems. Nobodys picking the fruit have so many fruit and veg. We have so many self inflicted problems that we could all as humanity , put our could all as humanity, put our Heads Together and sort out wait a minute, wait a minute. We might, we might back. Well, we might be back. We might be back. Well, we might be back. We might be back. Clive, are you might be back. Clive, are you heanng might be back. Clive, are you hearing us, yeah you can hearing us, eddie . Yeah you can hearing us, eddie . Yeah you can hear now. Okay, good. Hear us now. Okay, thats good. Were question we were were just the question we were getting. Were highlighting getting. We were highlighting all the problems associated with being farmer. You were being a farmer. And you were highlighting them quite well. Highlighting them quite well. Question is, why would anybody want to be a farmer in this day and age . And age . That is a very good question i well, partly because we actually do like being farmers , actually do like being farmers, but it it is a business at the end of the day, and it has to make money. And if it doesnt make money. And if it doesnt make money, then you end up doing something else. So if fruit isnt making money, if veg isnt making money, then eventually you have to consider stopping doing that. And i think well youll still see farmers, but theyll be doing things in a different way. But that doesnt feed the nation. Feed the nation. Explain to me why i shouldnt be buying wonky fruit and veg because i thought i was doing the right thing there, you know, not superficial only not being superficial and only choosing the pretty which choosing the pretty stuff which obviously to obviously my instincts want to do you know, choosing the do. But, you know, choosing the sort black sheep of the of sort of black sheep of the of the carrots or whatever it might be. But thats actually bad for business. Well, its very bad for our business because we actually get a negative return from one wonky fruit and veg. When it started , fruit and veg. When it started, it was there to help us when we had a particular crisis like a hailstorm or Something Like that. But now we get a much , much. But now we get a much, much lower price and its not viable. So you do not buy some class one fruit and some wonky fruit. You just buy one or the other. So you dont help me at all by buying wonky veg. Oh, right. Is are the supermarkets helping you . Theyre just a couple of things we want to get clear here in terms of, you know, who is not pulling their weight in terms of supporting british farming. British farming. Well , the supermarkets are well, the supermarkets are actually buying fruit, but theyre under pressure to keep food inflation down. And so theyre in a very difficult position. But they need to relook at the way they buy. They buy and how much margin they take. Huge. Some of them take huge margins in the fruit and veg sector. Do them take huge margins in the fruit and veg sector. Do they fruit and veg sector. Do they need to do that . I dont think need to do that . I dont think they do. They do. Yeah. Okay. Now is there a word do you have clive , just word do you have clive, just final question to you, keir starmer is in paris. Hes to going meet the french president. The word is hes trying to renegotiate better terms post brexit. And we. What can he be doing . Can he be doing anything on behalf of the farming industry . He i think that for industry . He i think that for governments its quite difficult because because they dont really want to be involved in the market place. So i do think theyre in a difficult position in. But there are there are things they could do. We need we need pesticides that that actually work. We need that that actually work. We need to look at Water Resources as we need to look at the way we provide labour and the extra costs on labour. Okay. Clive backs have been interesting to talk to you. Thank you so much. I want to talk to him about but pesticides that actually work. What are we talking about . There is this all being environmentally friendly there is this all being eanell, entally friendly there is this all being eanell, pesticidesendly there is this all being eanell, pesticides that work well, pesticides that work that dont out the that also dont cancel out the bees and all the other things that we need .

The labour leader, sir keir starmer, is meeting the french president , Emmanuel Macron, in paris today he seeks to paris today as he seeks to present himself as a Prime Minister waiting as top minister in waiting as top doctors walk out on strike again. Whats the government going to do to stop the strikes . The Health Secretary joining us in 15 minutes time. And as the metropolitan Police Receive an allegation of Sexual Assault in 2003, well have the very latest here on breakfast. At and a taster of breakfast. At and a taster of the front pages of the newspapers today beginning with the telegraph. It leads with the doctors strike and government plans to introduce mini minimum Service Level, regular operations at the times , focusing on the russell times, focusing on the Russell Brand scandal. After reports of a woman to going the police over a Sexual Assault allegation. Heres the guardian with a warning from the police who say it will take years to clear up rogue officers in the metropolitan force and the express leading on their triple lock pensions campaign. Dont unpick it. They ask or demand even. Okay. Going through those okay. Going through those papers and other stories making the headlines today, emily carver and andy jones , very nice carver and andy jones, very nice to see both of. Can we just start by mentioning that, andy and you have come in matching outfits this morning . I think thats an accident, more coordinated than i can even imagine. Youve got the in fact, youve got the waistcoat. I think look waistcoat. So i think you look like and eamonns come like the groom and eamonns come as best so were as the best man. So were expecting an escort operating speech a minute. Speech in a minute. Yeah. Its so hard trying to peek through eamonns curtains to see what wearing. To see what hes wearing. Hes got these net curtains. Hes got these net curtains. Very difficult. Its very difficult. Its very difficult. Weve got the health emily. Weve got the Health Secretary on in just under just over ten minutes time. And this doctors strike is being ramped up again and its showing no signs of going away. Hey, do you signs of going away. Hey, do you have any idea how they would settle the short of exceeding to 35 pay rise . Oh, gosh. I have absolutely noidea oh, gosh. I have absolutely no idea if i was Steve Barclay. Im not sure what i would do, but minimum Service Levels, thats the threat or perhaps something theyre just looking into at the moment. They have mentioned this before the government they want to government that they want to bnngin government that they want to bring in this kind of minimum service so that would Service Level. So that would mean and nurses mean some medics and nurses would to work despite would have to work despite strike action. And i think thats a good idea. I think thats a good idea. I think thats reasonable. So theres still the majority can still go on strike if they insist on doing so. But that you would still be able to have important appointments and that patients would be able to be seen. Too late. I mean, were its too late. I mean, were in unchartered territory today. Weve the Junior Doctors and weve got the Junior Doctors and the the same the consultants off at the same time. Seeing people dying the consultants off at the same timore seeing people dying the consultants off at the same timore people eing people dying the consultants off at the same timore people dying eople dying the consultants off at the same timore people dying onile dying the consultants off at the same timore people dying on the iying , more people dying on the waiting off the waiting list than dying off the waiting list than dying off the waiting last year. And waiting list. Last year. And theyre consulting today on this minimum level of service. Weve been this with been talking about this with them all year. Why are they only starting a consultation now . You make very good well, you make a very good point. Probably should point. And we probably should be more this because more angry about this because they talking about they have been talking about minimum Service Level agreements for time. As ever, for a long time. But as ever, theres uproar because theres always uproar because people undermining people see that as undermining the strike. And it does the right to strike. And it does in but its a consultation. Lets have this conversation yesterday. Perhaps they yesterday. But perhaps they shouldnt yesterday. But perhaps they showell, you could this, well, you could put this, too, hasnt it been too, steve. Why hasnt it been done but they been done already . But have they been some would say it should some people would say it should be illegal for Health Workers to go on strike. Well, think that needs to well, i think that needs to at least minimum level of at least be a minimum level of service if a threat to service because if a threat to life and limb, then its immoral. Frankly, you know, everybody you would say, everybody has, as you would say, aim stand up aim and the right to stand up for in sort for themselves in a sort of professional capacity. I do professional capacity. But i do think , you if youre think, you know, if youre actually harming someone elses chances the chances of surviving, the problem that they cant problem is, is that they cant be because need medics. So, you know, they can take away their labour, but they cant sacked. Cant be sacked. Think theres a longer so i think theres a longer term problem which is people will not be drawn to the profession it doesnt profession because it doesnt seem to be attractive in terms of pressure, in terms of financial reward as well. So this is a nettle that the government has to grasp. And if i was if i was part of the government negotiating team, i would realise this has to be grasped at some stage. If they dont settle this year, theyll have to settle next year and itll just go on and on and on. Andy absolutely. Junior doctor gets £32,300 for a 48 hour week. As you say, im not sure how we consider all of the training that goes into it. The hours stood on an a e ward, the horror, the responsibility, the expertise, the status involved in it. Its not good. Its not good. How appealing is it . But also there will be people at home now who know that they have cancer or something growing inside them, that they have specific needs and theyre saying, well, ineed needs and theyre saying, well, i need treatment. You know, i need treatment. You know, theyve got members of their family that they gravely concerned doesnt stand up concerned about doesnt stand up with me. Is that what youll get Steve Barclay saying, cant give in barclay saying, we cant give in to a demand of 35 in wage . Well, you can if its skewed in the first place. You know, 35 of nothing is nothing , you know, of nothing is nothing, you know, so theyve got to be realistic about what theyre i dont think it will be a huge number of consultants who are out on strike today, if not all consulting. Consulting. And any of you at home are watching consultants. Feel free to get touch if im wrong, to get in touch if im wrong, but there will be a of them but there will be a lot of them who go and make three who will just go and make three times, four times what they would earning the nhs would be earning on the nhs today, locally or in the today, either locally or in the private and private sector. And theyre complaining what theyre complaining about what theyre being for. They say being paid for. But they say they this is solidarity, they say this is solidarity, dont they . Is solidarity with other this is solidarity with other nhs theyre nhs workers that theyre striking their striking rather than for their own necessarily. But own pay packet necessarily. But i problem is im not i think the problem is im not sure whether whether a conservative government with all the that comes along the baggage that comes along with a tory can fix this. With being a tory can fix this. I think that they would the doctors would take a different view if it was the labour. Well, you say that, but i just dont know if any government can get a grip of it because quite frankly, hearing noises frankly, were hearing noises now know, sir keir now that you know, sir keir starmer cant starmer saying he cant guarantee that actually hes going cut tax burden. Going to cut the tax burden. He cant guarantee he wont increase the tax burden. Public sector get bigger sector is going to get bigger and bigger, potentially. I think there a discussion there needs to be a discussion about the end of the nhs and perhaps, you huge perhaps, you know, huge discussion about different perhaps, you know, huge discussi because different perhaps, you know, huge discussi because differertaxpayer models because its the taxpayer thats shell out and thats going to shell out and the arent getting the doctors arent getting enough. Its unsolvable problem. Its difficult, its a difficult thing spiritually for a government thats obsessed with the free market. Says that ceos get and it says that ceos get paid theyre or, you paid what theyre worth or, you know, got the talent, you know, you got the talent, you get its a free get the money, and its a free market. And then actually its all doctors as youre going to get paid way, way, way below than private than you get in the private sector. Its taxpayers sector. And yes, its taxpayers money, but it does seem to be we could nhs and could privatise the nhs then and then it would be you know, they could be paid more potentially. But then you the issues but then you have the issues with that. But then you have the issues witiwell,. But then you have the issues witiwell, well, i mean, its such well, well, i mean, its such a discussion, but its a huge discussion, but its not like a binary option whereby you either the system in either have the system in america everybodys either america and everybodys either depnved deprived of health care because theyre lots of theyre poor. There are lots of other for example, in other models, for example, in australia where you have people who off who are who are pretty well off who are kind basis pay for kind of on a moral basis pay for a lot of their own care, whereas those people who need it are supported state and there supported by the state and there has be options like that has to be options like that here. And you compel health and can you compel the health staff theyre talking staff to work . Theyre talking about putting in measure about putting in a measure to compel work. Can compel health staff to work. Can you compel somebody to work . Is it just simply if you dont sign up, get no, no up, you get sacked . No, no benefits without any benefits or whatever without any sort or consideration . Sort of pay or consideration . I dont know legally dont necessarily know legally the on whether can the position on whether you can compel to work the compel someone to work in the pubuc compel someone to work in the public like that. Public sector like that. But there is a big business trend call it capitalists, call it what want, which that it what you want, which is that youre job is valueless because if you dont do it, someone else will. And theyve done this with teachers was they do it with product casters, they do it with doctors now as well. And they basically said you wont work for that rate. Well, well get someone else, but actually theyre not going to be able to get somebody else with this. And i think, andy, there is a thing where not a value put on where theres not a value put on peoples professions there peoples professions and there expertise and its a very common process, quite right. And well see later on today. Were talking about the met police and how the government have spent money hs2. Have spent money on hs2. Yeah, lets talk lets talk about the met police now as well, because this this is in well, because this is this is in the guardian and isabel was mentioning earlier on that the amount of accusations against various officers and malpractice and whatever is going to take years to root out what are called rogue officers in london. Of course, another profession where arguably there isnt a long queue to do the job, 34,000 officers in the met there are currently 860 on restrict duties. 201 suspended and thats up on 69 suspended last year. If youre interested in 860 officers, thats the size of warwickshire Warwickshires Police force. Apparently, according to the guardian. This according to the guardian. This follows on from a horrific cases of serial offender David Carrick Wayne Couzens, etcetera. Stuart Wayne Couzens, etcetera. Stuart cundy, deputy chief at the met, says paradox basically and hes probably right in this if were going to have root and branch, get rid of every rotten apple in the barrel, you are going to have this huge spike in suspension. If you want a root and branch excuse nation all suspension. If you want a root and bad1ch excuse nation all suspension. If you want a root and bad eggs cuse nation all suspension. If you want a root and bad eggs , use nation all suspension. If you want a root and bad eggs , youretion all suspension. If you want a root and bad eggs , youre going all suspension. If you want a root and bad eggs , youre going tol the bad eggs, youre going to get rid of all of them. And he said its paradoxically the harder getting rid harder they work on getting rid of the more theyre of bad police, the more theyre going and so you have going to find. And so you have this spike officers was this huge spike in officers was suspended, etcetera , etcetera. Suspended, etcetera, etcetera. But the problem is, the more you suspend, longer it is to suspend, the longer it is to investigate, you then have to have procedure, all have all of this procedure, all of unions involved. Of the unions are involved. Hearings a month, 60 60 hearings a month, 60 heanngs 60 hearings a month, 60 hearings a month. Then you wonder why there and then you wonder why there arent any officers beat and then you wonder why there ar and then you wonder why there ar and then you wonder why there ar and then you wonder why there ar and then you wonder why there ar and then you wonder why there ar respect the police. But then if the arent able to, the police arent able to, you know, of these bad know, get rid of these bad apples and get to grips with claims institutional racism, claims of institutional racism, misogyny, sexism and so on, its just hard to respect. But 860 on just hard to respect. But 860 on restricted duties, does that mean that theyre, what, in in the back office . Theyre not allowed out on on the beach allowed out on the on the beach because allegations because they have allegations against because they have allegations agait st it means yeah, it it means it means yeah, it means a variety things that means a variety of things that theyre not allowed to do certain work. They might be on administrative duty. They might be who sits be a charging officer who sits in a Police Station and monitors arrests and things, a variety of Different Things. You think it ties in but do you think it ties in to the the Russell Brand to the to the Russell Brand story where lots of people have been saying, havent these been saying, why havent these allegations been brought to the police . You could police . Well arguably, you could say im people do say say and im sure people do say because a lot of women dont feel that theyre being heard or that they can trust the authorities. Definitely. That they can trust the auth want to sweep it under the carpet pretend never carpet and pretend it never happened could be because happened or it could be because they dont trust that it they simply dont trust that it will be with. Many reasons. Yeah. Do i it would yeah. Do i look, it would have what been a doctor have been what been a doctor being a Police Officer would have when was have been when i was 18. And i have thought should. I think about that. Should that be would that be a good career . I mean, i always wanted to be a journalist, but no one believed. No one said, yeah, you to be a journalist, but no one beli do d. No one said, yeah, you to be a journalist, but no one beli do d. No it1e said, yeah, you to be a journalist, but no one beli do d. No it was|id, yeah, you to be a journalist, but no one beli do d. No it was sorteah, you to be a journalist, but no one beli do d. No it was sort of h, you can do that. It was sort of like, but what do you seriously want to do . And i look and i think if you joined a police force, might think youre force, you might think youre full of great ideas and youre very whats the word im looking for . Naive things. Maybe for . Naive about things. Maybe the system corrupts you. Maybe its system. Its the system. Think going maybe you think youre going to evil and, you know, do good. And actually you end up. Yeah, yeah. But when i was at school, loads of lads , little boys would loads of lads, little boys would run playground run around the playground pretending to police pretending to be Police Officers. Wonder if thats officers. I wonder if thats robbers. Exactly. I wonder robbers. Yeah, exactly. I wonder if thats the case now. Is it considered an aspirational career a Police Officer . Career to be a Police Officer . No want seen as no they all want to be seen as something to do. You know, i mean, im yeah, you know, i mean, im sure the job is incredibly tough and i dont think id want to be and i dont think id want to be a Police Officer unless i had basically a tank to go around the streets and or some sort of machine gun or Something Like that. But i had a neighbour in bristol who was a Police Officer. I have to say, i loved having a Police Officer who was a neighbour. I felt very safe and it was full of great stories. One of my favourite stories. One of my favourite stories told me is stories that he once told me is that was giving chase after that he was giving chase after a robber, which doesnt happen. I dont think that often anymore. But giving chase and he but he was giving chase and he said a like a cartoon said it was a bit like a cartoon and basically his wouldnt and basically his legs wouldnt go as his body and he go as fast as his body and he tripped up and actually then the guy chasing stopped to guy he was chasing stopped to check was no, it was check he was okay. No, it was fairly ridiculous. But i loved heanng fairly ridiculous. But i loved hearing policing hearing all his policing stories. The good stories. But those were the good old days. The good old days. The good old days. Hold that thought and well come and talk about come back and well talk about more stories that making more stories that are making the headunes headlines on this Tuesday Morning. Waiting for morning. Were also waiting for the Health Secretary get the Health Secretary we get his response plans for response on government plans for the Health Service with this doctors today. Stay doctors strike today. So stay with us. Well be back right after welcome to the program. Its coming up to 10 to 7. If youve just joined us, a reminder of our headlines this morning. Labours keir starmer meets the french president in paris today as he seeks to present himself as a Prime Minister in waiting. Waiting. Russell brand is postponing his tour as the metropolitan police have received an allegation against him of Sexual Assault. In 2003, dodi doctors assault. In 2003, dodi doctors are walking out on strike again i whats emma whats the government going to do to stop these strikes if ever . The Health Secretary ever . The Health Secretary joining us next. Ever . The Health Secretary joining us next. At now, as we joining us next. At now, as we were just saying , joining us next. At now, as we were just saying, senior joining us next. At now, as we were just saying , senior doctors were just saying, senior doctors are walking out on strike today in a dispute over pay as the government considers new legislation to ensure that when they do, there are minimum service the nhs. Okay. Service levels in the nhs. Okay. Weve got the Health Secretary, Steve Barclay, whos available to talk to us this morning. Health secretary , good morning. Health secretary, good morning. Thanks for your time today. Its a its a busy day and its another day. We just wonder when these days are ever going to come to an end. Today. Youre trying to talk about i dont know if youre implement ing it today or when youre going to employ the minimum standard. Employ the minimum standard. But tell us about that. Yeah but tell us about that. Yeah its a consultation were announcing today. We passed the primary legislation across six sectors, including health. And what were consulting on is the Time Critical services in hospital, things like chemotherapy , like things like chemotherapy, like dialysis and whats been happening in the strikes. If i take the august strikes , local take the august strikes, local Health Leaders agreed with local bma represents to have 17 exemptions, but then because of the militancy of the national bma Junior Doctors committee , bma Junior Doctors committee, those 17 exemptions to give important treatment were not agreed. So what were consulting agreed. So what were consulting on is similar to what other countries have , such as france countries have, such as france or italy or spain, where people have the right to strike. We recognise thats an important right, but we also protect Time Critical services in hospital like chemotherapy, like dialysis. Yes. So that those are still provided, notwithstanding the disruption perhaps to hip and knee operations or to outpatient services. So thats what were consulting on. Its important we protect patients along side, recognising the right to strike. Do you when you when you have discussions with the doctors, i mean, i cannot sort of believe that someone whos taken the hippocratic oath would not want the same outcome in terms of Time Critical diagnosis and realise the impact of that. What way do those conversations go when you raise those subjects . When you raise those subjects . Well. We have. Well. We have. And in fact, what was interesting, if given the example that ive just mentioned, was that actually local bma leaders agreed that these exemptions should be given, but it was the national Bma Committee , which wants to Bma Committee, which wants to take a more sort of militant political stance, who wants to time its strikes to coincide with the conservative Party Conference were the ones that refuse those exemptions. So its refuse those exemptions. So its about saying how do we get the balance right . How do protect balance right . How do we protect those Time Critical services . Those Time Critical services . Weve got primary legislation now in place and were going to look at how that applies in hospitals so that we can ensure things like chemotherapy are not disrupted by strikes and really make sure were protecting patients. So thats what were consulting on. We want to get that balance right. It is important, you know, peoples right and we respect right to strike and we respect that. But the same time that. But it is at the same time key that we have things like chemotherapy, dialysis and other Time Critical services in hospital protected. And thats hospital protected. And thats something other countries do. Something other countries do. And thats what we want to protect here. Find it interesting youre i find it interesting youre talking critical talking about Time Critical services youre Going Services and youre only going to consultation on an that to consultation on an issue that weve discussed on this programme government weve discussed on this prograntimes government weve discussed on this prograntimes. Government several times. Whats so long to get whats taken so long to get to this stage . Now in to this stage . Were now in unchartered territory where were doctors and were seeing senior doctors and consultants off at the same time and patients are simply at risk. Theres no denying it and its too little too late. Have too little too late. Should have been yesterday. The day been yesterday. Well, the day before or months before. Well, well, its a fair challenge. And a number of things weve been doing. I mean, firstly, in terms of the disputes itself, weve reached agreement with over a million staff in over a million nhs staff in terms the agenda for change. Terms of the agenda for change. We met the bmas number one ask, which was the extremely generous changes to pension taxation. That was the key thing that the bma asked for. We accepted in full the recommendations of the pay full the recommendations of the pay review body process and then in terms of this legislation, weve passed the primary legislation and that does take time and with other unions such as the Royal College of nursing, we did agree exemptions. So other unions did respond more constructively. But because of the concerns here, we brought forward primary legislation and what were now consulting on is the detail of how that applies across Great Britain from a hospital setting specifically. So theres a range of things weve been doing both with the bma in terms of responding on pensions, responding to the pay review body. Its self, but also bringing forward this legislation. Weve now got the primary legislation place and primary legislation in place and what were consulting on is how it applies to the specific issues within hospitals. But some people might see this more as a failure of negotiations. I mean, the fact that the labour party, in fact the tuc have reported what they call under democratic anti strike laws to the un is testament to that. Well were testament to that. Well were focussed on protecting patients i and you know, as eamonn said at the start, i think protecting peoples ability to get chemotherapy , to protect them in chemotherapy, to protect them in terms of getting treatments like dialysis. I think is, is reasonable and proportionate. Reasonable and proportionate. And thats what were were focussed on and what the bma are demanding for Junior Doctors is a 35 pay rise , a Junior Doctor a 35 pay rise, a Junior Doctor starting on the wards this august will get a pay rise of up to 10. 3. The average wage for Junior Doctors is 8. 8. I think for many of your listeners listening to that, that was probably more than they themselves are receiving. And its what the independent pay review body has recommended. So weve accepted in full those recommendations. But its also recommendations. But its also right that we have a safety net to protect patients alongside recognising peoples right to strike. And thats what were putting in place because my priority is patients and the bma should be calling off these strikes, which appear politically motivated in terms of the timing, also of the strike action planned for the conservative Party Conference and focusing on patients. And thats certainly what were doing with this legislation. Doing with this legislation. Ive got to ask you about liz truss making a speech yesterday day. Shes really painting herself now as sort of the party beacon of low tax and in favour of growth. Shes not going away. Shes piling the pressure on the government. She in fact is going government. She in fact is going to be attending conference in a couple of weeks time with a lot of the grass roots conservatives who put place. How much who put her in place. How much of a problem is liz truss for you . Well, this is a very experienced former minister, very experi inst parliamentary colleague. I think the focus she has placed on growth , growth, has placed on growth, growth, the growth is key in terms of paying the growth is key in terms of paying for things like the nhs and thats why the Prime Minister has made bringing inflation down his number one priority. Its key to get that growth that we also manage inflation and thats why were taking the action were doing. Taking the action were doing. Weve seen growth in the economy. The economy is growing quicker than france and germany, for example, since brexit hit. The economy is going quicker than france and germany since 2010. But it is important we focus on growth. But core to growth is also bringing inflation down, and thats why the Prime Minister is absolutely right to focus on bringing inflation down. And thats core to Everything Else were doing. Yeah. And just just finally, yeah. And just just finally, secretary of state, while you were there doing your job in were there doing yourjob in a very busy , very important job, very busy, very important job, particularly today for you, youve got keir starmer touring europe as a Prime Minister in waiting. And how do you feel waiting. And how do you feel about that at. Well, i think its his position is quite remarkable. He position is quite remarkable. He said he would respect the brexit deal said he would respect the brexit deal. Now he wants to reopen the brexit deal. Deal. Now he wants to reopen the brexit deal. He said that he would honour the vote. Now he wants to give control of immigration policy to the eu. Let them decide who comes into the country. The eu themselves are saying that hed have to rejoin the Single Market, so the position is setting out once again is a flip flop. It seems again is a flip flop. It seems remarkably confused. Its remarkably confused. Its clearly not consistent because he keeps changing his mind on what he wants. Were clear that weve got to deal with brexit. We want to move forward. What keir starmer wants to do is go back to the past to reopen the deal to let the eu control our immigration policy. He seems to in the past have called for a second referendum. Now he wants to go the full, full distance and reopen the deal and let the eu control our immigration policy. I think that would be the wrong thing for the uk. And what we want to do is focus on the challenges we have bring inflation down, grow the economy, cut our waiting lists and in terms of immigration, stop the boats. Thats what were focussed on at the moment. Keir starmer wants to go to the past Health Secretary. Well leave it there. Steve barclay youve got a big, big day today. Thank you very much for your time this morning and explaining all those things. Thank you. Well there we go. Thank you. Well there we go. Its interesting when the government points to all of their priorities, but theyre not necessarily having that much success with stopping the boat. Some might argue, and i think thats going to be a problem thats going to be a problem that will not go away from the government. But like liz truss will not go away. Is liz truss a problem . Shes a little bit unflushable at this stage, isnt she . Thorn in the side . To be she . A thorn in the side . To be honest, i dont think shes having too much impact. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Good. Getting a lot of very good. Getting a lot of coverage, isnt but i dont coverage, isnt it . But i dont think listening. Think anybodys listening. I mean, to forget that mean, its easy to forget that when came in, her the when liz truss came in, her the impact of that project , andy when liz truss came in, her the impact of that project, andy and emily will be back in 40 minutes time. Right now heres your weather i looks like things are heating up. Boxt boilers proud sponsors up. Boxt boilers proud sponsors of weather on gb news is. Hello of weather on gb news is.

Its politics. Thats our top story this morning. And keir starmer is meeting the french president , Emmanuel Macron at the elysee palace in paris today. The palace in paris today. The labour leader is introducing himself as a Prime Minister and waiting in this break in protocol meeting to discuss policies on brexit and other areas as well. The Opposition Leader is facing claims hes looking to take britain back to square one on brexit, but number ten has commented that this kind of meeting is not unusual. All earlier this morning we spoke to gb news Political Editor Christopher Hope in paris. Starmer, the labour leader, david lammy, the shadow foreign secretary, and Rachel Reeves , secretary, and Rachel Reeves, the shadow chancellor, arrived here in paris last night for a meeting today with Emmanuel Macron , the french president. Macron, the french president. Its a major moment here for the labour leader trying to show the rest of the uk that his party and he personally are ready for power. Now mr starmer arrived last night with a tweet. He said labour will improve our relationship with europe and make brexit work for britain. Make brexit work for britain. But this morning, as the labour leader are downplaying any chance of big news out from this meeting, then making very clear its an introductory meeting that no, no specific ideas will be discussed and no announcement will be made, not least because sir keir starmer is labour leader and labour is in opposition. But its all about how it looks. And the first thing this morning hes meeting with other bosses , with vivendi, other bosses, french bosses with operations in the uk to try and stress to them that labour is the party of business. Well, lets speak now to our deputy Political Editor tom harwood, who joins us from westminster this morning. Look, downing street were tipped off about this meeting at the g20. Rmt macron giving them a little heads up and theyre keen to say, look, this might not be protocol, but its fairly standard this close to a general election. Is that fair to say . Election. Is that fair to say . Well, its true to say that its not really in line with protocol. Now that being said, protocol. Now that being said, protocol has been breached before we dont have to go back that far to see another french president , the newly elected Francois Hollande, in 2012in the summer of 2012, welcoming ed miliband to the elysee palace. Miliband to the elysee palace. Now, that was a little bit controversial at the time because the protocol is that if a world leader meets an Opposition Leader, its sort of done behind the scenes. Theres no photocall on the steps of the governmental building, but thats precisely what Francois Hollande did, and it caused a little bit of a stir back then. But i suppose what were seeing is history repeating itself today. We could go back even further and look at what neil kinnock did in the mid 1980s, meeting Mikhail Gorbachev of the soviet union. Or we could look soviet union. Or we could look at Margaret Thatcher when she was Opposition Leader, meeting richard nixon, the then president of the united states. President of the united states. It does seem that there has been time and time again Opposition Leaders in the United Kingdom meeting World Leaders of other countries. Yes, not all the countries. Yes, not all the time, but sometimes it happens and often to mixed results. Okay and often to mixed results. Okay tom, thank you very much indeed i Russell Browns story latest on the Sexual Assault allegations against him. He has postponed three remaining live shows following the met. Police stating that they have received a report of a Sexual Assault against him which occurred 20 years ago. Well, officers havent named brand, but they said they were in contact with the woman whod come forward following media allegations against the actor and comedian. Lets go live. Scotland yard there for us this morning, Theo Chikomba our reporter. Theo, what have you got to tell us . We understand a woman contacted the metropolitan police at this weekend following the program that was broadcast and of course, the publication, which was across the times, the sunday times as well. Now, of course, this all started last week when fran posted a video on his twitter profile and his youtube platform addressing some of these allegations ahead of their broadcast on the weekend. Now, of course, in the last few days, the metropolitan police has said if anyone has any similar allegations or experience , says please do experience, says please do contact them. And its worth mentioning that Russell Brand, he denies these allegations. He he denies these allegations. He did perform his live show on saturday evening in wembley in north london, and he was due to perform today in windsor. But since yesterday , day, late since yesterday, day, late afternoon, that has now been cancelled and several other legs of this tour have also been cancelled for later this week, has lost his agent and publisher, but he still has this platform which he has on youtube and on twitter as well. There are now questions about the Entertainment Industry itself, the attitudes around situations like this , and of course, like this, and of course, questions about new media as well. What is their response going to be . Put them to them. But they havent responded yet. For example , to google. But at for example, to google. But at the moment, this is a situation which is developing. But it is of course, a matter for the police to deal with. Theo, just while youre there and these these stories coming out of Scotland Yard today, the met are warning it will take years to root out rogue officers with in london. Just wondering , with in london. Just wondering, are you hearing anything about that or any comment on that . That or any comment on that . Well, that is another investigation which is currently going on. Its something we have reported from here in the last couple of months. Many protesters and others who found themselves in difficult situations have been here saying the met police need to do something about that. Of course, its an issue that the police have been addressing in the last couple of months, but that is something that is pending at the moment. Moment. Thanks very much. Thanks, theo. I mean, you were saying, though, just in terms of logistics , isabel, and the time logistics, isabel, and the time it would take to root out so many rogue officers here, how does actual real business carry on . Well , exactly. Well, exactly. Well, exactly. When youve got 1000 officers suspended , 60 hearings a month suspended, 60 hearings a month going through, it could take years before all of these people who, quite frankly , not fit to who, quite frankly, not fit to wear that uniform can be continued to be paid by the taxpayer working as Police Officers in an institution. Officers in an institution. Lets not forget that got found six months ago to be racist, sexist. And what was the other thing . Homophobic. Its too slow. Its got to be quicker. Slow. Its got to be quicker. And at the same time, weve got this other story, huge story about Russell Brand today. And were wondering why women arent rushing come forward and rushing to come forward and theyre going the with theyre going to the media with their stories instead. Would you suggest how would you suggest clearing backlog, bringing clearing that backlog, bringing in investigators from in other investigators from other forces or an independent commission or something to deal with it . With it . I think they should be taken off duty, to be honest. But how can you take a thousand officers off duty . I dont know. I dont know. Special n i dont know. Special but special measures . I dont know. The solution is very know. Its the solution is very difficult, but should never difficult, but it should never have this stage. And have got to this stage. And obviously, its obviously, you know, its difficult mark crawley to difficult for mark crawley to try and come and fix all of try and come in and fix all of this. But how did we get here and whats the implication . What is the implication on all of us and our trust in the Police Service . Well, but yet with Russell Brand or lots of other people, we would be saying innocent until proved guilty. And also , we should yes. And also, we should point out there are thousands , point out there are thousands, thousands decent, hard thousands of decent, hard working Police Officers who put themselves in harms way day after day. You wouldnt want to after day. You wouldnt want to do it. Wouldnt want to do it. Do it. I wouldnt want to do it. Were grateful for them. And it gives name. You gives everybody a bad name. You know, these rogue officers, its bad them and its bad for bad for them and its bad for all have you got any all of us. Have you got any ideas fix this ideas on how to fix this problem . Let us know. But two years. Fix the police. You know, there was a time that we have here and that we would have sat here and i is a media problem i think this is a media problem as well, that wed be sitting talking dixon dock talking about the dixon of dock green officer, the Community Officer and look there has to heartbeat there has to be there has to be so many Police Officers who are good for their community, who are good just with people around them who do the job the best they can. And it is a privilege to have them serving, but we dont hear about them. Thats probably our fault. Not necessarily your fault. Its not necessarily your fault. Its all about the negative stories and lets beat the police and all that sort of thing. So let us know. Gb views of gbnews. Com do you have a copper worth praising . Praising . Are you a copper as well . Are you a copper as well . Hes frustrated by all of this. Give us your views. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Staff from the florida fish and Wildlife Conservation commission on when went and offered the bear a fish. And offered the bear a fish. And then i think they drugged it and that was it.

It wasnt a proper bear anyway , back after this now we are talking about brexit and of course weve been talking about how, sir keir starmer was waking up in paris. Lucky for him this morning, but he is allegedly seeking a much better brexit deal if his party wins the next general election. And the next general election. And he says he would not attempt to rejoin the eu or the customs union. But he has promised to try and make brexit work. But were asking, do you believe him . Do we really need a better deal with the bloc . Okay, lets talk about this. Professor jonathan portes, who says real question is, do says the real question is, do europe want to deal with us, really . And conservative councillor Matthew Goodwin freeman. And matthew says we need to stop looking back into the past. Professor, could the past. Professor, could i could i start with you and i think youve hit the nail on the head. Does it really matter what keir starmer wants . It really depends on what europe wants , depends on what europe wants, doesit. Depends on what europe wants, does it. Not does it. Not thats right. Does it. Not thats right. I mean there is no question, of course , as no question, of course, as pretty much all economists have said from the start, that we this brexit deal is a pretty bad deal from the uks perspective because Boris Johnson wanted a deal because Boris Johnson wanted a deal. Any deal, and didnt seek to make it work for British Business and that has done significant economic damage. The significant economic damage. The problem is that the european, as the eu got pretty much everything they wanted out of the deal, they got tariff free access for goods coming here. They didnt make any concessions on some of the things we would have liked, particularly on services. So reopening the deal is possible to some extent. And there are some things where it could be improved, but its not clear that the eu, which has lots of other things on its mind, fundamentally wants to change a deal which may not be working very well for the uk economy. It isnt working very well for the uk economy, but its working pretty much all right. Point view of right. From the point of view of the why bother . The European Union, why bother . Stop dwelling on the past. Stop dwelling on the past. Stop dwelling on the past. Yeah, well, you know, the eu is 27 countries. Theres 195in is 27 countries. Theres195in the world. And yes, absolutely the world. And yes, absolutely the eu got the pick of the crop because, you know, they wanted to punish us for having the audacity to take back our sovereignty and vote for brexit. But if we want brexit to be a success, its about the long term. Its about looking at every other country in the world and lets get back to and thinking, lets get back to global britain. Know, what global britain. You know, what can there . I dont trust can we do there . I dont trust sir flip flop at all because he said that hes to rework said that hes going to rework the and the eus gone nuts the deal and the eus gone nuts if no, no, we dont if you play. No, no, we dont want to redo the deal. And now hes over there in france at the moment. Do you know what . Moment. Well, do you know what . Why dont you stay there . Because breaks over. You because summer breaks over. You chose not to come here the uk chose not to come here to the uk and, know, obviously try and and, you know, obviously try and do for your do the best for your constituents. So over there constituents. So stay over there in and well sit here in france and well sit here sorting out the government. Know what, well, you know what, jonathan . Made jonathan . Hes obviously made a political calculus, hasnt he . He thinks can he obviously thinks that he can still the still potentially win back the red wall with this kind of ticket people are seeing ticket because people are seeing arguably that brexit isnt working. Working. Thats right. You know, there is a substantial majority now in the country which realises even if think when it comes to it, most people dont want to reopen the debate about whether were a member of the eu. But theres clearly a substantial majority thats recognising reality that this deal is not working for us. And think , i mean, matthews and i think, i mean, matthews frankly , unfortunately matthews frankly, unfortunately matthews attitude illustrates why the europeans wont necessarily want to deal with us. They realise that theres a substantial fraction of the uk, particularly powerful in the conservative party, which is more interested in mocking french accents than it is actually in a constructive relationship with our european partners. And when you have i mean its a bit silly, isnt it . We have somebody who is an elected representative of the conservative party coming here to talk about how we make our economy stronger, how work economy stronger, how we work our relationship, both our trading relationship, both with rest of the with europe and the rest of the world. Big, world. And those are big, important questions. World. And those are big, important questions. And we important questions. And if we want make a national if we want to make on a national if we want to make on a national if we want to make the economy stronger to make fun of stronger fun of to make fun of people who speak of a french french accent, i mean, its a bit you know, its not surprising in that circumstances that the European Union looks and says, well, keir starmer may seem like a sort of vaguely reasonable character, but his, his party wont be in power indefinitely. Do we really want indefinitely. Do we really want to be dealing with with a country where you have elected representatives who make eu isnt going anywhere, its on our next door . Look, if we want to get the country going, we need to look at everywhere else. The eu isnt going anywhere. Its on the next doon going anywhere. Its on the next door. Still be trading door. Well still be trading with them, but focus of the with them, but the focus of the world isnt around the eu. Theres countries the theres 195 countries in the world. Theres195 countries in the world. Are focusing so world. Why are we focusing so much this . 27 lets do deals much on this . 27 lets do deals with asia. Do deals with with asia. Lets do deals with america. Done australia america. Weve done australia and new zealand. Britain could go global. And the go global. And thats the problem. Were focusing so much on next door neighbours. On our next door neighbours. There need to the eu is there is no need to the eu is not going anywhere so we can have discussions with the eu for as many decades we want. We as many decades as we want. We need focus on here and the need to focus on here and the problem we have, sir flip problem if we have, sir flip flop is who knows what he stands for. He that he would for. He said that he would nationalise public services. Then he rowed back on that. He said scrapped child said he scrapped the two child limit. Rowed back on limit. Then hes rowed back on that. What happened to that £28 billion year green levy . What billion a year green levy . What he was coming up gone, scrapped. Well get there one day. He doesnt know what he stands for. And seen it. His audition and weve seen it. His audition for has proven for Prime Minister has proven why hes the understudy because he with this returns he came up with this returns plan other day. Oh, well, plan the other day. Oh, well, well take about 100,000 well take in about 100,000 and well take in about 100,000 and well back handful. Well hand you back a handful. So how does the maths add up on that . Utterly, utterly that . Hes been utterly, utterly ridiculed. This this trip around europe. And as i said , if we europe. And as i said, if we want to get britain moving, we need to look elsewhere. But john, what would you want from any renewed deal with europe . Any renewed deal with europe . Well, i mean, those are big political questions. And but i think that keir starmer, you know, although its not quite clear how much progress you can make, starmer is probably being reasonably sensible, pragmatic and realistic by saying, lets start with things where we know the eu has already said that it wants some form of improvement on the existing relationship. So for example , regulations on for example, regulations on health and safety of food, animals, migrants , that one of animals, migrants, that one of the things hes come up this week was well have the returns agreement. You give us 100,000 migrants, well send you back a handful. Is that what the british people want . That what brexit was want . Is that what brexit was about . More illegal migration . Its really quite and i say this sort of illustrates why its going to be difficult to do your deal with the eu or indeed with any country when you have elected representatives coming out with something which everyone are simply lies. Everyone knows are simply lies. Well, this weekend, well, he said it this weekend, so not let me so its not a lie. Let me actually let me be. Absolutely. Can absolutely clear about can i be absolutely clear about this . It would be very difficult to do a deal with migration on the and its absolutely the eu, and its absolutely clear that doing a deal on migration not migration with the eu will not solve the problem of small boat crossings. May improve them, crossings. It may improve them, but wont solve them. But but it wont solve them. But when like matthew talk when people like matthew talk about 100,000 migrants, these are simply lies and fantasies and we should simply ignore them and we should simply ignore them and try and get back to discussing seriously what what improvements we can make in our trade relationship with the eu andindeedin trade relationship with the eu and indeed in our trade relationship with countries in asia like india, which the government is quite reasonably trying now so there are trying to do. Now so there are constructive discussions going on. Starmer could have on. Keir starmer could have constructive discussions on improving the relationship with the eu as course this the eu as of course this government has with our government already has with our return to the horizon programme, which been widely welcomed which has been widely welcomed by the scientific community. But unfortunately when you have silly as i said, when you have people who simply make things up as matthew did just now, this nonsense of read what keir starmer said, im not making it up when people like matthew say something, you dont agree with, im not making this up. You two are out of time. But really entertaining listening to both of you. Jonathan portes is a professor of economics at Kings College london. And Matthew Goodwin freeman is a conservative councillor for harrow with those views. Really appreciate it, gentlemen. Thank you. Right lets lighten the mood. Were going to go through the sports with paul coyte. Just lighten the mood. Were not lightning. The mood. Not lightning. The mood. Deadly serious. Deadly serious. Up. This not cheering up. No this is not cheery at its not very cheery. It is deadly serious. I was going to do this in a german accent, ive decided against accent, but ive decided against it i thought it might not it now. I thought it might not be very good idea under the be a very good idea under the circumstances. United circumstances. Its just united and friends in europe and everybody, friends in europe in Champions League. So in the Champions League. So were in europe . Yes. Yes. Manchester players, Manchester United players, though. Ive tell though. I mean, ive got to tell you, of course, youve in germany playing against germany tomorrow playing against Bayern Munich. This is Manchester United. Champions Manchester United. Champions league going, but league gets going, but theres a little ranks, little trouble in the ranks, though. Have seen this . No. Though. Have you seen this . No. Neville yes. Believes gary neville yes. Believes that dressing room is bugged that the dressing room is bugged at my new right. That things. The things that arguments and fights could you imagine if this place was what should pretty much be microphones in the studio . They have all the rows on air. So we do. so we do. So we do. So this is going to be like everything is always gate after watergate. But this probably is the next biggest thing since watergate. Biggest thing since watergate. So Manchester United players, theyve had bust up. Theyve had this bust up. I think hes worried that the bugs its actually that are its actually players that are going saying well you going out and saying well you know this is whats going know what, this is whats going on because says this, on because ten hag says this, the that happened the arguments that happened apparently brighton apparently after the brighton game martinez , game was Lisandro Martinez, Martinez Victor Lindelof Martinez and Victor Lindelof they were at each other, the two defenders. So they were arguing against other. Bruno against each other. Bruno fernandes and Scott Mctominay. But know what . In football but you know what . In Football Players argue, if you have a bad result, theres going to be, you know, you should have done this, you should have done this. Id worry more if youve got a team afterwards that would sit there and not say a word to each other and not say a word to each other and then just go off and theres nothing. You see the whole image of football how they and football and how they try and make professional image make this professional image where players hug each other on the opposition that the pitch and opposition that really i really makes my blood boil. I cant stand and the other cant stand that. And the other thing, i cant stand is why is football english . Premier football all english . Premier League Response liable League Football response liable for on earth, League Football response liable for bereavement1 earth, League Football response liable for bereavement , earth, League Football response liable for bereavement , atrth, League Football response liable for bereavement , at every every bereavement, at every natural occurrence that happens and they have to give a two minute silence at the start of every game. Interesting. And i think i do think its i think these things are horrible and theyre absolutely terrible. But is footballs responsibility is it footballs responsibility to bowed and, you know, to head bowed and, you know, take responsible for this . I think i dont think so. Think i dont think so. Premier league sees themselves off as this global product , themselves off as this global product, which is so important to everybody around the world. And so they have to react to any natural disaster. Anything happens and lets be honest here. And whatevers happened with earthquakes, etcetera, and any disaster around the world is any disaster around the world is a tragedy. Its very sad and its awful. But is it down to the premier league to then have were going to have a minutes silence for this. Well a silence for this. Well have a minutes silence for this because going to because then its going to happen decide that the happen if they decide that the precedent been set. And then precedent has been set. And then every week there will be something sports something these sports psychology the psychology ists believe in the power visualising passion and positivity. Right . And i actually, through my illness over the past couple of years, believe in the same. In other words, if you think something positive, youre more likely be able to move more likely to be able to move and beat your and things and beat your illness and things like that. I believe that. But you start every game on a complete downer. I cant believe you know, i cant believe thats game. Its thats good for the game. Its good players or good for the players or whatever. I just look at it whatever. But i just look at it and i think, why is this footballs responsibility . Yes, it that that tragedy it was awful that that tragedy happened happened or happened or that one happened or that but goodness that one happened. But goodness me, think there has to be a me, i think there has to be a link the specific players or link to the specific players or the you know, somebody key in you know, if somebody key in the the history of the of the the in the history of the of the club has died or something. Absolutely take a couple of minutes round of applause, minutes or a round of applause, which almost bit which is almost perhaps a bit more uplifting. Which is almost perhaps a bit more u|asting. Which is almost perhaps a bit more u|as you say, these social but as you say, these social issues, these social movements, you know, however well intentioned, something intentioned, it takes something from supposed to be a from what is supposed to be a leisure activity where you forget youre right for a good time. And i think it dilutes the importance the message. Importance of the message. Signalling. Its virtue signalling. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Well, mean, just briefly well, i mean, just briefly before the game and would give before the game and i would give it give a speech spurs it always give a speech at spurs and big screen and a and a great big screen and a rousing was a rousing churchillian speech i would try my at just to try and get my best at just to try and get everybody going and wed end up with the everybody with up the spurs.

Brown is still on youtube, so brown is still on youtube, by the way. What what what, what, what . Okay. Right. We are going through and this this through the papers and this this situation. Emily and andy, this post office situation, this is a scandal beyond belief. So all scandal beyond belief. So all the postmasters and mistresses who were running these post office wrongly accused of fiddling money and whatever the government had come along and said, right, okay, look, heres 600 grand and well all be friends and lets forget this now people have gone to prison as well, and theyve served time behind bars with this one as well. Emily whats your take . Yeah, absolutely. It has been yeah, absolutely. It has been called one of the biggest miscarriage of justice ever. Can you imagine how bad it would be if, you know, you were told youre a thief, youve been fiddling money here for years. Oh, psychologically , i dont oh, psychologically, i dont know how these people dealt with it. So, it. So, so it. So, so far, 86 it. So, so far, 86 convictions have been overturned. Have been overturned. Just forgive me if isabelles got breaking news. So in the last few yes. So in the last few moments, i can confirm, according to the press association on youtube, have now suspended Russell Brands own channel. And i quote them, violating our creator responsibility policy. This is responsibility policy. This is according to the google owned company. So that is hugely significant. 6. 5 Million People tuning into him for many years now. Its a big statement. Its a huge statement from them. So thats his income . Well, so thats his income . Well, somebody can part of his shows as well. And books and things. Books have been suspended. Books have been suspended. The publisher, bluebird, cut off ties with him, charities that he worked with. Police investigation launched a four year investigation by dispatches , sunday times and the times newspaper. Things are not newspaper. Things are not looking good for Russell Brand this morning. Well stay stay across well well stay stay across that. Meanwhile, back at the post office sorry, we were saying so theyve theyve got a testimonial from this woman , testimonial from this woman, della robinson. Testimonial from this woman, delsheinnson. Testimonial from this woman, delshes been. Testimonial from this woman, delshes been offered this shes been offered this £600,000 in compensation. She says its too little, too late because as she lost her home, she lost friends reputation. She lost her job. Obviously, her lost herjob. Obviously, her reputation an devastating and she says, okay, £600,000. Thats obviously much better than nothing. But she lost so much in nothing. But she lost so much in the in between times. And it was all, if you remember, it was all because the it system was faulty, not the people working there. But how much would be enough . I mean, genuine question. I have no idea ever compensate . Well, if i went to jail for two years, as certainly one guy did, it take a lot more did, it would take a lot more than 600,000. As you say. How than 600,000. As you say. How much is enough . If you are in your mid 60s and youre managing one of you would want i one of these, you would want i think youd have something in the millions. Had to this woman, so she had to this woman, della she she was della robinson, she she was advised to plead guilty to avoid prison. Yes. So she had to say prison. Yes. So she had to say she did it just to avoid prison and do Community Service instead, just to give some numbers to this, between 1999 and 2015, there were 700 postmasters prosecuted for this i thats around one a week, 86 subsequently had convictions overturned. And a lot of these overturned. And a lot of these people have been waiting. So long. Theyre now elderly. Theyve been spat at in the street. Theyve gone to prison. Some them have committed some of them have committed suicide. Going on so suicide. Its been going on so long. Of them accepted the long. Some of them accepted the money because they think this is their chance to have compensation. You, wheres let me tell you, wheres wheres paula vennells, the woman in charge all woman who was in charge of all of while this was going on, of this while this was going on, who about this . Who is believed knew about this . Where who is she sees where is so who is she sees something to do with the head of the office. Something to do with the head of the right. Ffice. Right. Right. And ill tell you this. And but ill tell you this. In this country, you can do anything you can drive anything you want. You can drive anything you want. You can drive a car into a bus and kill people or whatever, but youll still be penalised for penalised much more for financial misdoings. Penalised much more for financial misdoings. So you will financial misdoings. So you will unless youre the one whos in charge, of course. Yeah. Yeah. Well, well, but what anyone whos seen to take money is what im trying to say. The courts come down like a tonne of bricks on people. So so the very fact, emily, that this woman was told, look , just say you did it. Just look, just say you did it. Just say you did it and youll not be locked up to live with that stigma. Just absolutely terrible. So we go back to isabels question, how much is enough . Well, definitely not enough . A e well, definitely not 600 grand in some of these cgses. Cases. Well, they say a couple of decades. So even if it was just loss earnings, that might not be enough. Then that enough. And then couple that with reputational with all the reputational damage, losing your home, the stigma , as you i think they stigma, as you say, i think they should have couple of should have had a couple of million. Yeah, think youre million. Yeah, i think youre probably i think youre just going number out there. Going to put a number out there. At similar cases you look at similar cases where somebody in Public Sector is, dont know, suffered an where somebody in Public Sector is, d talk about teapot s and lets talk about teapot s and this is a spy bug in a teapot. It happened in an embassy whose embassy was this . A worker at the British Embassy in beijing was working there for some time. He left of his own accord. He was given a tea set as a gift from his chinese employer and genius idea. And then when he took it home, he was getting it out and somehow he then smashed it. I dont quite know how he smashed the teapot and then bouncing out of the teapot onto the tiled floor was a recording device. Floor was a recording device. And he says whenever they were having a chinese meal, they would get this tea set out. One day they were doing the washing up. Knocked it over. Up. They knocked it over. A camera fell out onto the floor. The devices said not have the devices said not to have picked secret picked up any secret or sensitive but this sensitive information, but this speaks to level of speaks to the level of subterfuge that is going on between china and britain. We obviously had the individual who was arrested and within the British Government was British Government who was charged offences. British government who was charother offences. British government who was charother day. Offences. British government who was charother day. Weve offences. British government who was charother day. Weve also nces. British government who was charother day. Weve also had. The other day. Weve also had instances where chinese officials are trying to find out Different Things about people on linkedin and it is a very deep thing to be worrying about. Which embassy was this . Which embassy was this . Beijing. Beijing. Oh, right. Okay in china . Yeah. Okay. Yeah but i do think theres something about whether it be fugitives breaking of jail fugitives breaking out of jail or espionage. Theres something fugitives breaking out of jail or esalmosta. Theres something fugitives breaking out of jail or esalmosta. Theiawayimething fugitives breaking out of jail or esalmosta. Theiaway from iing fugitives breaking out of jail or esalmosta. Theiaway from the that almost takes away from the seriousness of the issue. And seriousness of the issue. And you just im personally totally gnpped you just im personally totally gripped by, you know, the logistics us. And i find it just fascinating. And i do think fascinating. And i do think theres real ingenuity in some of these. Im amazingly pictured in your house warming. Yeah, i was thinking of a teapot or. Oh. Teapot or. Oh. Oh, thats a good idea. Oh, thats a good idea. The comrade with the spy camera in it. Camera in it. Oh but its like something out of a movie, isnt it . Putting a little spy cam in a in a teapot. Yeah, but also equally, i mean , china is so financially mean, china is so financially and culturally embedded into so much of the infrastructure in britain in terms of its relationships with our universities. Tech nology, etcetera. Im not entirely sure they need to be listening into peoples to find out these peoples homes to find out these days talk about days were going to talk about transgender now. And its been eight months since the scottish secretary alister jack blocked the scottish. Gender recognition scottish. Gender recognition reform bill. Stop me if ive ive lost you here at some stage. Well, it was a big moment. It was very controversial since devolution, the section 35 was used and this controversial legislation was seeking to make it obtain a gender recognition. But i thought all you had to identify different gender identify as a different gender for months, self hiding for three months, self hiding rather than thought that all rather than i thought that all went away. Nicola sturgeon it. When Nicola Sturgeon it. When Nicola Sturgeon it. Oh right. Okay. Right. Right our scotland reporter tony mcguire explains. Mcguire explains. On the 17th of january this yean on the 17th of january this year, for the First Time Since the Scottish Parliament reconvened in 1999, the uk government signed a section 35 order blocking the gender recognition reform bill from obtaining royal assent. Despite gender recognition being devolved to scotland, the Scottish Government had sought to speed up the process that issues only 30 gender recognition certificates each year by making it easier for scots to self id. But after weeks of speculation since the passing of the bill, scottish secretary alister jack announced that he would block the controversial reform for its incompatible with the uk equality act. I have not taken this decision lightly. The government has looked closely at the potential impact of the bill and ihave potential impact of the bill and i have considered all relevant policy and operational implications, together with the minister for women inequalities and is our assessment that and it is our assessment that the bill would have a serious adverse impact , the bill would have a serious adverse impact, among the bill would have a serious adverse impact , among other adverse impact, among other things, on the operation of the equality act that evening , equality act that evening, social justice secretary Shona Robison stood before the Scottish Parliament, putting into words the governments collective shock and disappointment, preventing the gender recognition reform bill, which was passed with an overwhelming majority and from proceeding to royal assent is a dark day for trans rights and a dark day for trans rights and a dark day for democracy. The bill took five years to pass through the parliament at all times, met by frequent opposite action, including the largest snp rebellion in 15 years of government concerns underlined womens safety in single sex spaces and the risks of lowering the age of self id from 18 to 16. When susan smith was a constant in that opposition leading Campaign Group for womens scotland, she believes the bill is a threat to womens safety. What we ended up with was a bill that was very similar , in bill that was very similar, in fact, to the one that had been proposed five years before. So despite all the discussion and all the conversation , nothing all the conversation, nothing really got resolved. And our really got resolved. And our main concern, obviously, is womens rights activists was the knock on impact on Womens Services and spaces. Services and spaces. February saw the shock resignation of Nicola Sturgeon at the height of her reignited self id debate following the chaotic incarceration of transgender double rapist isla bryson humza yousaf emerged victorious from the snp leadership race to replace her and just two weeks after being sworn in as scotlands sixth first minister, he submitted a legal challenge to fight the section 35 order. Five months on each side remained steadfast and vocal , but the each side remained steadfast and vocal, but the time has now come to listen in as the final word of the future of the gender recognition reform bill is decided by the scottish courts. Decided by the scottish courts. Tony mcguire. Gb news are we any tony mcguire. Gb news are we any the wiser after all of that . Emily yes, it was very interesting indeed. Westminster have tried to block what changes which would make it so that you could essentially say youre a woman and youd be a woman within three months. Westminster decided thats not a good idea. Or is it the westminster authority or overruling the Scottish Government . Thats issue for scotland thats the issue for scotland in of devolution. And does in terms of devolution. And does that undermine devolution . But that undermine devolution . But im more interested in what scotland was trying to do by making it too easy. Yeah, actually , rishi sunak and keir actually, rishi sunak and keir starmer both agreed this was a step too far, didnt they . Because this was inhibiting the equality act and had impact on legislation and womens on other legislation and womens rights, around rights, particularly around prisons. Dont really know how prisons. I dont really know how theyre going to argue it. I think they in scotland, think think they in scotland, i think theyre to struggle. Theyre going to struggle. I think theyve lost this one. Humza yousaf the one. And humza yousaf isnt the strongest not got strongest leader. Hes not got much longer. And much support any longer. And the Independence Campaign isnt doing well either. So hes losing on all fronts. Losing on all fronts. Right. Lets talk hs2. Losing on all fronts. Right. Lets talk hs2. So right. Lets talk hs2. So this is in the eye and so it goes on and on. Conservative mps have called on the government to scrap hs2 amid reports the second phase running to manchester could be shelved anyway. Hey, i think manchester could be shelved anyway. Hey, i think this is such a shame. I mean, i drive such a shame. I mean, i drive around england and i see so much construction work going on and im thinking, my goodness me, this is going to be the most amazing engineering feat that theyre going to carry out here. Wouldnt it all just be a terrible, terrible waste of everybodys time, money and planning if we scrapped it . Now it feels like theyre losing heart now. But again, it feels like increasingly an impossible dream. £45 billion has been spent on this project so far. Thats the view from last year. So i assume thats increased again since then. Currently, again since then. Currently, its going to only go as far as birmingham, where its going to increase from an hour and increase times from an hour and 20 to 52 minutes. Not 20 minutes to 52 minutes. Not only lost all of that only have you lost all of that money and all of that effort , money and all of that effort, but youve lost all this ancient money and all of that effort, but youvepeople l this ancient money and all of that effort, but youvepeople have ancient money and all of that effort, but youvepeople have beenent woodland people have been uprooted from their homes. Theres pollution theres been pollution into rivers waterways, endless rivers and waterways, endless habitats lost and speaking for birmingham perhaps further birmingham and perhaps further north, arent saying they north, people arent saying they desperately this hs2. They desperately want this hs2. They would rather have had certainly from a birmingham perspective, would rather have had certainly fr economy. To be able to economy. We need to be able to have a decent Railway Lines and yet contractors who quoted for the three years ago, you the work three years ago, you now at inflation in would now look at inflation in would probably its three probably say its three times four what it was going to four times what it was going to cost three years ago. What cost three years ago. At what point do we say enough is enough . Spending much enough . Were spending too much money panel. If you had money on this panel. If you had to make that decision today, go ahead or not. God. Itd be it would oh, my god. Itd be it would be so difficult. But perhaps there is a bit a sunk cost there is a bit of a sunk cost fallacy. You know, you just keep ploughing because ploughing the money in because we have, if we already have, even if actually benefits are not actually the benefits are not going you still save going to be good, you still save money you stop now, but its money if you stop now, but its such shame because you know, such a shame because you know, as andy says, there there were so many other things we do so many other things we could do with that so many other with that money. So many other Infrastructure Projects that may have Better Benefits that have made a Better Benefits that we dont see yet that that will happen maybe. Happen if we maybe. But agree with andy, wed but i agree with andy, wed have been east west leeds have been better east west leeds to liverpool and improving all that sort of thing. But such a shame. What a mess. How who plans these things, you know , exactly. The problem is we have so many different transport interests, so many different ministerial figures who have it for sort of six months and they give it to someone else and theres complete lack of theres a complete lack of clarity all of it. Clarity about all of it. Okay, im going to be completely clear. Heres the weather, warm feeling completely clear. Heres the weathefrom warm feeling completely clear. Heres the weathefrom boxt� n feeling completely clear. Heres the weathefrom boxt boilers,g completely clear. Heres the weathefrom boxt boilers, proud inside from boxt boilers, proud sponsors of weather on. Gb news. Sponsors of weather on. Gb news. Hello, very good day to you. It is going to be an unsettled day with a lot of cloudy, wet and windy weather around. For and windy weather around. For many of us, a slightly fresher feel than of late, too. You can see just how widespread the rain is at the moment and it is going to be heavy at times. Were going to see totals building up, particularly across parts of north west and west and north west england and west and wales. We do a warning in wales. We do have a warning in force some disruption force with some disruption possible. Its a cloudy possible for many. Its a cloudy and windy picture , though some and windy picture, though some brightness far northern brightness across far northern parts of scotland. Temperatures well near normal for the time of yeah well near normal for the time of year. Highs into the low 20s, perhaps the perhaps for some, but in the unsettled weather, its going to feel pretty unpleasant out as we go through the evening. Were going this spell rain going to see this spell of rain gradually its way east, gradually making its way east, north more north eastwards across more Northern Areas before some further windy weather further wet and windy weather arrives from the west. It will have some heavy bursts mixed into which is why those into it, which is why those totals really going to build totals really are going to build up across the next or so. Up across the next day or so. Temperatures arent going to drop much. These temperatures are to what youd expect are close to what youd expect dunng during the daytime at this time of it is going to feel of year, but it is going to feel unpleasant if youre out early tomorrow in the wind and rain, a cloudy, wet picture again. Then for tomorrow, you can for many of us tomorrow, you can see that rain gradually see that rain does gradually make its way eastwards. So by the it is likely to be the afternoon it is likely to be affecting more central southern parts behind it, parts of england behind it, there will be something a bit dnen there will be something a bit drier, perhaps brighter, but also of these also plenty of showers. These will and thundery at will be heavy and thundery at times the of some hail times with the risk of some hail and temperatures near normal for the year. But feeling the time of year. But feeling unpleasant , that warm feeling unpleasant, that warm feeling inside from boxt thank you for your company. Heres what were leading on this morning.

Well, fast pace story. This big developments, this morning. The very latest in the Sexual Assault allegations against Russell Brand and in the last few moments, youtube have announced that it has suspended money ization of his youtube channel. They say it violates their creator responsibility policy. Meanwhile the comedian. Policy. Meanwhile the comedian. Does that mean that he cant make money from it . So essentially he can still broadcast , he can put it out, broadcast, he can put it out, any messages, any defence that he wants, presumably . Yeah. My interpretation is that that means that all ability for him to get any sort of revenue from what hes saying and that ties in with the fact that his tour has being postponed bluebird has being postponed and bluebird is have also stepped is publishers have also stepped away just while away from him. Thats just while this investigation going on. This investigation is going on. Lots saying this lots of people saying this morning, well, hang minute. Morning, well, hang on a minute. I until proven i thought innocent until Proven Guilty, also guilty, but its also appropriate that due process is allowed out. Allowed to be carried out. Still gives him well, it still gives him influence to talk, if not exactly. He earned money from exactly. He earned money from the whole situation. Russell brand, of course, he denies and he would use that channel to deny the claims made against him. Well, lets go to Scotland Yard. Our National Reporter, Theo Chikomba is there for us this morning. Theo big breaking development this 6. 5 Million People would be watching Russell Brands show. This is his main earner. Earner. Yes, thats right. Well within the last hour when we spoke about this, it did raise that question , what does this that question, what does this mean for new media platforms . Mean for new media platforms . Ames, for example , youtube, ames, for example, youtube, where he has over 6 million subscribers who watch his videos and some of those videos, to the extent that they have so many views to the point where they have some more views than some of the traditional programs that we see on television, its somewhere where hes able to share freely what he wants to say. But this breaking news, of course, means hes not able to make money from those videos. And what tends to happen when youre watching youtube videos, youre watching youtube videos, you have an advert at the beginning, maybe several times, depending on how long the video is. Youll have some adverts which appear during those and hes able to make money from that. Hes able to make money from that. Now we do have hes able to make money from that. Now we do have a hes able to make money from that. Now we do have a statement that. Now we do have a statement from youtube or should i say google , which says we have google, which says we have suspended monetised action on Russell Brands channel for violating our creator responsible party policy. If responsible party policy. If a creators off platform behaviour harms our users, employees or ecosystem, we take action to protect the community. And the company said it has suspended brands channel from the Youtube Partner Program following serious allegations against the creator. Serious allegations against the creator. This action means that the channel is no longer able to monetise on youtube. Now this decision applies to all channels that may have been owned or operated by the 40 year old. It added. Operated by the 40 year old. It added. Now its worth mentioning added. Now its worth mentioning that youtube , of course, gives that youtube, of course, gives the opportunity for people across the world to watch some of his videos, particularly some of his videos, particularly some of the younger audiences who prefer to go and watch him on there, perhaps havent known him from his time in hollywood as an actor and of course, as a comedian. But does give him that extra platform. But while we are here at the metropolitan polices offices at Scotland Yard , they did receive a report yard, they did receive a report from someone who says they were sexually assaulted this allegation dates back to 2003, which allegedly took place in soho here in central london. This is separate to those we have heard in the last few days, which took place between 2006 and 2013 and which were broadcast on the Dispatches Programme over the weekend on channel 4. And of course, further details in the and further details in the times and sunday times. But we do understand that the metropolitan police is looking into this and its likely they will want to speak to Russell Brand in in the near future here as more details about whats happened comes to light. Huge cheers. Stephen, thanks so they youtube are definitely saying out of any notoriety that he could be getting if that increased his Popular Charity in any way. Theyre not going to be to Party Funding anything that comes from that. So you would pay comes from that. So you would pay youtube to see his channel to subscribe to his channel. And what theyre saying is through any of this notoriety at the moment that youre not hes not going to be able to financially. Absolutely. To gain from actually what is a very, very serious story. And look, they have this thing called their creator responsibility policy, which says if anyone which basically says if anyone on platform. So this on their platform. So in this case, russell harms their case, Russell Brand harms their users , employees or they users, employees or they describe eco systems. We then take action to protect it, our community and they say that following these serious allegations is the channel is no longer able to monetise on youtube. We should absolutely reiterate that Russell Brand denies the allegations and also the metropolitan police have now opened an investigation in after a woman stepped forward following on from that four year investigation that came to light this weekend in the media. So thats a developing story for us this morning that youre waking to. And we will keep waking up to. And we will keep you we progress with you posted as we progress with more news on comment on that in politics. Keir starmer is in paris. Hes meeting with the french president , Emmanuel Macron, the labour leader is introducing himself as a Prime Minister and waiting in this meeting to discuss policies on brexit and other areas. Brexit and other areas. Well, the government says the labour leader is looking to take britain back to square one on brexit and that a meeting between an opposition and between an Opposition Leader and a is not unusual. A world leader is not unusual. Why did you say that . Like why did you say that . Like the song, its not unusual anna sewell to be you almost went into for a tune there with that tom jones is in my veins. Cant help it. Cant help it. Yeah, im sure he is. Yeah, im sure he is. Lets go to our political edhon lets go to our Political Editor, Christopher Hope with all of that in paris and he will tell us more about that meeting chris good morning starmer the labour leader, david lammy, the shadow foreign secretary, and Rachel Reeves, the shadow chancellor , arrived here in chancellor, arrived here in paris last night for a meeting today with Emmanuel Macron, the french president. Its a major moment here for the labour leader trying to show the labour leader trying to show the rest of the uk that his party and he personally are ready for power. Now mr starmer arrived last night with a tweet. He said labour will improve our relationship with europe and make brexit work for britain. But this morning, as the labour leader are downplaying any chance of big news out from this meeting, theyre making very clear its an introductory meeting that no, no specific ideas will be discussed and no announcement will be made, not least because sir keir starmer is labour leader and labour is in opposition. But its all about how it looks. And first thing this morning hes meeting with vivendi other bosses, french bosses with operations in the uk to try and stress to them that labour is the party of business. Thank you very much indeed. Thank you very much indeed. Lets go to our deputy Political Editor tom harwood in westminster. Tom, good morning, tom. Listen, a big awkward situation for the Health Secretary we spoke to him this morning as consult and senior doctors go off on strike for the first time at the same time, just as the government launches this consultation into minimum Service Levels as yes, this is the nightmare scenario really , the nightmare scenario really, that the nhs has been expecting. Of course, consultants are striking today for two days, but tomorrow on wednesday, joined by Junior Doctors delivering a real crisis for the nhs where both those senior doctors and Junior Doctors are off at the same time. Now, of course, that doesnt mean that every single doctor will choose to strike many doctors are not members of unions that have voted for strikes, and many doctors will probably view their hippocratic oath as something that they should abide by. And think that striking is a bad thing. But there will be a real crunch point, particularly on wednesday, when those doctors are off. And clearly weve seen the cost of the nhs that that has created over the last 12 months when these two groups have been off individually. But together, together, that will be difficult. And its interesting looking at what trade unionists are saying about the minimum Service Level consultation in general, which of course is being kicked off today, providing whats known as sort of Christmas Day cover for strike days. Thats what the government wants to deliver in in law. Well, its interesting. In law. Well, its interesting. Just last week at the trade Union Conference s congress, i should say , the tuc was saying should say, the tuc was saying that they would potentially not abide by minimum Service Level legislation in that they would break the law for to not turn up to work. So clearly there is to work. So clearly there is a big, big battle brewing there. But the government is saying that it believes it has a response ability to peoples health, to peoples welfare, to peoples lives , quite frankly, peoples lives, quite frankly, in making sure theres that minimum level of cover even dunng minimum level of cover even during strike days , whereas the during strike days, whereas the trade unionists would say its their right to not turn up for work if they voted for a strike. So really some intractable issues brewing there. Tom thank issues brewing there. Tom thank you very much indeed. Thank you. And so the other stories coming into the newsroom this morning. Lets just recap on those for you and the post office paymasters are who were wrongfully convicted in the horizon scandal are to be offered £600,000 each in compensation , more than 700 compensation, more than 700 Branch Managers were imprisoned for theft and false accounting when a Faulty Software made it look like money was was missing from their sites.

Well, i must say, ive yeah, well, i must say, ive now got vegetable patch and now got a vegetable patch and ive a couple of apple trees ive got a couple of apple trees and inundated and i was and im inundated and i was actually you know, you actually thinking, you know, you said earlier you were thinking about a tea pot. I about getting me a tea pot. I have been contemplating when i get five minutes making get a spare five minutes making you an apple crumble. Do you like my favourites is if one of my favourites is if i brought you in an apple cobbler because im overrun with apples and rhubarb. That be on my lap. That would be on my lap.

All right, ill bring one right, well, ill bring you one in, i promise. Going bring you one in. Okay, but listen, were were going to talk about a very disturbing situation. And its probably not a surprise people that surprise to most people that dunng surprise to most people that during whole cost living during this whole cost of living crisis thing that crisis and the thing that worries us and worries so many of us and i dont care who you are or how much earning your income much youre earning your income will have been squeezed. Your outgoings up and outgoings will be up and up and the rise in inflation and the whole rise in inflation and all that sort of thing affecting so professor so many people. And Professor Green, mental green, the music and Mental Health advocate , is really, health advocate, is really, really about this and really worried about this and were going to speak to him now. Were delighted to speak to him now. Prof. Morning to you. Now. Prof. Good morning to you. Are both y y my friend, how are you both y y my friend, how did this come to your attention . Who is it affecting and what are your concerns about people and worries about not having money . I think the current state of things is horrendous for so many people in many instances at the moment. Its people who have never encountered poverty before. And i grew up in a low income household. You know, we didnt really at the time, especially me as a kid, i wouldnt have put things down to the cost of anything crisis. It was just that we were poor and many of the people that we were, you know, living were in the know, living amongst were in the same but problems at same situation. But problems at the you know, just the moment, you know, its just its compounding effect of its the compounding effect of everything, know, everything, isnt it . You know, you energy coming you have Energy Prices coming down same time as the down at the same time as the government begins or government begins to stop or stops actually subsidising energy bills so people just cant catch a break. And poverty is stressful. You know, the is stressful. You know, the shame that comes with it. Theres isolation is really tough. And , you know, youre not and, you know, youre not poor anymore , obviously. But poor anymore, obviously. But just talk a little bit about your battles with Mental Health and how you worry about those people who are are still trapped and increasingly trapped in the kind of cycle of feeling like they cannot live within their means and not seeing not seeing light at the end of the tunnel as well, not seeing a way out of it. Yeah, thats a difficulty. And thats thats why primarily im to, here you know, to highlight the support available to public the to the public by way of the British Gas Post Office pop ups and the British Energy trust and the British Gas Energy trust because lot of support because theres a lot of support out that people sometimes out there that people sometimes are not even able to take their head the sand long enough head out of the sand long enough to or are aware thats to seek out or are aware thats available. Its, know , available. Its, you know, Mental Health is impacted. And so many negative ways by poverty , but not least of all. I think that the shame that comes with the feeling like you the stress of feeling like you cant provide, like you cant you cant afford, no matter how hard try, you just cant hard you try, you just cant make meet. Hard you try, you just cant ma well, meet. Hard you try, you just cant ma well, m� you you mentioned well, and you you mentioned the British Gas Energy trust there as well. And they have pop there as well. And they have pop ups, which they set up throughout the country. Is this throughout the country. Is this about managing your bills as well . Because im just thinking the sacrifices a lot of people would have to have made. Obviously, they cut back on certain things, but then to actually sell sort of possessions that they have, you know, be that be that a painting or be that a their car or or something else. Whos there . Whos there to help people. Prof well, you have money in Energy Advisors from local British Gas Energy trust charities, the great thing about this, right, is you know, a trust is a problem as well. You know, people dont always want to with the shame that comes with poverty. People dont always want to talk to people about their problems. By way about their problems. But by way of charities that of supporting charities that already these already exist in these communities understand communities that understand the specific these specific needs of these communities, to communities, theyre able to help in the way that they help people in the way that they most need the help. You most need the help. And, you know, cutting know, you talked about cutting back, far can back, but its like, how far can you back . And when choices you cut back . And when choices become, you do we shower become, you know, do we shower or do we eat . Do we turn the gas or do we eat . Do we turn the gas or electricity on . Like, or the electricity on . Like, what do . These are these what do we do . These are these are real problems. Are becoming real problems. Its like far you can like theres only so far you can cut back before quality of life doesnt exist you know, cut back before quality of life doesthis exist you know, cut back before quality of life doesthis is exist you know, cut back before quality of life doesthis is support you know, cut back before quality of life doesthis is support thats now, and this is support thats actually working in the last 12 months. Theres been 15 million in grants. Another 15 million in improvement of income by way of things such as looking at benefit eligible 80 another 6 million in debt right off there is support out there that people can get.

That warm feeling inside from boxt boilers proud sponsors of weather on gb news. Hello very good day to you. It is going to be an unsettled day with a lot of cloudy, wet and windy weather around for many of us. A slightly fresher feel than of late, too. You can see just how widespread the rain is at the moment. And it is going to be heavy at times. Were going to see totals building up, particularly across parts of north west england and western wales. We do have a warning in force with some disruption possible. Its possible. For many, its a cloudy and windy picture, though some brightness across far northern parts scotland , northern parts of scotland, temperatures well near normal for time of year. Highs into for the time of year. Highs into the 20s perhaps for the low 20s perhaps for some, but in the unsettled weather, its going to feel pretty unpleasant as we go through the evening. Going to see this evening. Were going to see this spell gradually making spell of rain gradually making its north eastwards its way east, north eastwards across Northern Areas across more Northern Areas before further wet and before some further wet and windy weather arrives from the west. It will have some heavy bursts mixed it, which is bursts mixed into it, which is why those totals really are going build across the going to build up across the next day or so. Temperatures arent going to drop much. These temperatures are close to what youd daytime temperatures are close to what yo this daytime temperatures are close to what yo this time daytime temperatures are close to what yo this time of daytime temperatures are close to what yo this time of year. Daytime temperatures are close to what yo this time of year. Butdaytime temperatures are close to what yo this time of year. But itytime temperatures are close to what yo this time of year. But it is me at this time of year. But it is to feel unpleasant if to going feel unpleasant if youre out tomorrow in the youre out early tomorrow in the wind and rain. Cloudy, wind and rain. A cloudy, wet picture again. Then for many of us tomorrow, you see that us tomorrow, you can see that rain gradually make its way rain does gradually make its way eastwards. So by the afternoon it is likely to be affecting more parts more central southern parts of england behind it, there will be something a bit drier, perhaps brighter, but also of brighter, but also plenty of showers. Heavy and showers. These will be heavy and thundery times with the risk thundery at times with the risk of hail temperatures of some hail and temperatures are near normal for the time of yeah are near normal for the time of year. Feeling unpleasant, year. But feeling unpleasant, that warm feeling inside and from boxt boilers as proud sponsors of weather on gb news. Well, a year ago today, Queen Elizabeth ii state funeral took place as the world stood still to wish her majesty a final goodbye after 70 years on the throne. Throne. It feels like yesterday, doesnt it . It does. Flown by. Well, of course , her son charles well, of course, her son charles had already officially taken over as king. And a recent poll shows that most people think he is doing a good job. Though his popularity still pales in comparison to his mothers. Well, it would, wouldnt it . But year on, were asking, but a year on, were asking, what are we asking . What are we asking . Were asking if charles is doing a good job or not. Well, i would have thought he is. But were joined now by the campaigner peter tatchell. Peter actually, you believe, peter, that charles has been a disappointment. That charles has been a disappointment. And then beside disappointment. And then beside peter, there , showbiz journalist peter, there, showbiz journalist Sarah Robertson , who says hes Sarah Robertson, who says hes done a great job. Good morning to both of you. Peter why why are you a bit disappointed with them . Them . Well, the polls indicate late slipping support for the royal family and monarchy. Only 29 of family and monarchy. Only 29 of the public think the monarchy is very important, but thats down from 38 just a year ago. And among young people, only 12 think the monarchy is very important when it comes to charles himself. Polls show that charles himself. Polls show that less than half of the public have a favourable view of king charles and overall people say that nearly half of people say that nearly half of people say that the royal family are not good role models. Now there are good role models. Now there are good reasons for this. King good reasons for this. King charles inherited some where in the region of almost £2 billion from his mother without paying a penny of inheritance tax. The royal family intervened to force the media to censor aspects of the media to censor aspects of the coronation and king charles, he in the last year has only done the equivalent of seven weeks full time work. Thats more than seven times less than the average employee. Yet he gets paid around about £39,000 an hour , £39,000 an hour, more an hour, £39,000 an hour, more than is extraordinary. And on top of that, the government has announced that theres going to be a 45 pay increase for the royal family in the next year. And that is pretty scandalous given that everybody else is suffering such a severe cost of living crisis. Well, lets see what Sarah Roberts thinks about all of this. I just wonder whether you think you can put a price on the value that the royal family bnngs value that the royal family brings, not only in who pays them. This £39,000 inaya where does this come from . Is this part of the inheritance . Peter this is these figures no, this is these figures arent correct. Im sorry, peter, but dont know you peter, but dont know where you got polls from. But thats got your polls from. But thats not true about about poll not true about about the poll for monarchy of people for the monarchy. 62 of people in poll , a recent in a yougov poll, a recent yougov poll, believe that the uk should continue to have a monarchy and 60 think that king charles is doing a good job. And this figure soars when you get to the over 60, up to 87 of people believe that the uk should continue to have a monarchy over an elected head of state. Only 11 of people in this country are unsure and theres only a small percentage, 26 say that we should have an elected head of state. I mean, can you imagine having someone like sadiq khan in as our elected head of state . You know what a terrible mayor hes been having someone like that over king charles who has been a constant the same as his mother. The late queen was a constant for years our lives, for over 70 years in our lives, who cares passionately about this country . Who is i mean, he can be a bit of a tweedy radical, but he wants change. He wants to preserve the crafts and the traditions of the past. But he does want change as well. Hes aware of that. And hes a man whos been ahead of his time. He was talking about Climate Change back in the early 80s, having world like 80s, having World Leaders like joe sit on a world stage. Joe biden sit on a world stage. Hes already a figure on the world stage because , sarah, you world stage because, sarah, you believe he hasnt even believe hes just he hasnt even got into his stride yet. Just about to get going. Hes just about to get going. Hes just about to get going. Exactly. Eamonn, this was the first of mourning after first year of mourning after after the queens death. Youre always going to have a period of instability when have the instability when you have the passing of a monarch. And we are going through a period of instability in this country. Is aware of that. Hes charles is aware of that. Hes had year to mourn his had this year to mourn his mother. Now were going to see that year of mourning has gone. Now were going to see charles grab the reins with both hands and for it. The Queen Camilla and go for it. The Queen Camilla said hes a man. Hes impatient when he wants something done, he wants it done and wants it done yesterday. And he will through will start driving through changes. He will. And he will really start reign and think really start to reign and think hes going to be a good king. I really do. And i believe in him. He believes in this country. He really believes in young people. I mean, this is the man set i mean, this is the man who set up the princes trust. How many millions pounds, how much has millions of pounds, how much has he raised and done to help young people in this country, set them on path to Financial Freedom on the path to Financial Freedom and them with businesses, and help them with businesses, give chance life . Give them a chance in life . Okay. Well, just want to put a point from an email thats just in peter tatchell. Just come in to peter tatchell. Fen emailed to in be fen settles emailed to in be honest and forgive this comment if this man and his whiteboard printed agenda is right that charles has only worked seven weeks over the last year. Well then hes working below the minimum hours required to have to tax, which is a fair to pay tax, which is a fair point. Is it really all about money for you . Because a lot of people would say, hang on a minute, at whats happened minute, look at whats happened to post the royal to russia. Post the royal family. Know, family. Look at, you know, france, countries that are now republics. Theres a huge republics. And theres a huge hole missing where the royal family to be. And its a family used to be. And its a loss, isnt it . Well just on the point about the popular duty of the royals and the support for an elected head of state of course, among older people, theres very strong support for maintaining the royal family but among young people, its very different that 40 of young people want an elected head of state. 70 of young people say theyre not interested in the royal family when it comes to, you know, popularity and alternatives. You know , france alternatives. You know, france doesnt have a royal family yet , yet tourist income for our royal palaces like versailles is greater than for the royal family here in the uk. Legoland which is near windsor castle, gets more visitors than than windsor castle. Windsor castle. So with that note, with that note, weve got weve got to leave it, guys. Were out of time. But appreciate the comparisons with all of that. I have to say the inbox is more divided than i thought, actually. Yeah. Often its one sided in our inbox, but this time a few people on both sides. Well, you both put very well, you both put a very good robertson, good case. Sarah robertson, thank tatchell, thank you. Peter tatchell, appreciate it. Thank you very much so legoland draws much indeed. So legoland draws more attractions in windsor than windsor castle. Yeah, but do you know what gb news breakfast royalty paul coyte. He attracts interest he attracts more interest than anything else. Than anything else. I love you for that. I love you for that. I love you for that. I love you that. You i love you for that.

And all right, were going through the papers and the days headlines and other stories this morning with emily carver and also andy jones. Emily, were starting with you. The emily, were starting with you. The express have got this campaign ongoing, and theyre talking today about 190,000 people signing their petition to keep the triple lock. Yes , the daily express is yes, the daily express is always pro , triple lock, and always pro, triple lock, and theyre always banging drum theyre always banging the drum to their concern and to keep it. Their concern and that the government may water it down because , of course, the down because, of course, the triple lock grew grants the state pension growth by 2. 5 by the rate of annual inflation or by earnings, whichever is highest. And i think ministers are slightly worried about the ongoing cost of pensions, although they havent said theyre going to change it. But theyre going to change it. But the express yes, suspects they might be wanting to wipe it down. I would love to go into government and just on first day with no money, with no money, minister to spend , we cant do this. Cant do that. I just love the right scrap back. Get rid of that debt. Foreign aid budget. You can forget that , though. Im you can forget that, though. Im very that should be very keen that we should be helping people in libya and helping people say in libya and people turkey, people that people in turkey, people that have these natural have experienced these natural disasters that have gone on and all sorts of places. But its a different form of aid than i would have there instead of the 11 that we see no 11 billion that we see no percentage of gdp , no fixed percentage of gdp, no fixed amount, no fixed amount. Yeah, amount, no fixed amount. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But that would be me. I think it would be quite easy to save money in government. Do you . Do you . I do. I do. I do think the Public Sector has got too big. Yeah, i think its got massively big. But every time anyone wants to cut anything, its like someones that 20 someones just asked you that 20 mile zone everywhere. Mile an hour zone everywhere. I dont know how many millions. Thats cost, right . You say 32. 5 million. Apparently. Apparently. This really the most is this really the most important thing weve got to do . And cost economy of and the cost on the economy of that people driving that as well of people driving slower as much slower and not buying as much stuff losing time on the way stuff and losing time on the way to work. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Dont care about that people dont care about that as a policy. Do you know what id scrap . Hs2 do you know what id scrap . Hsz its hs2 oh, yeah, sorry. Its a disaster, i think. You probably would well, you probably would never have commissioned it in the the basis the first place on the basis that was late. Now i just that it was late. Now i just feel sorry for everybody the feel sorry for everybody in the North East North West feel sorry for everybody in the nortihavent north west feel sorry for everybody in the nortihavent decent h west who havent got decent Rail Services country and services across country and whatever. Very whatever. However im very Pro Technology very pro Pro Technology and im very pro being futuristic and i sort of think since youve dipped your toe into it, but think of the scars on the landscape, isabel. I mean, if you stop might not to sell property because the sell a property because the thing going across the back, yeah, just yeah, well i mean youve just got the papers today and got in the papers today and i know we bang on about this sometimes, but £14 million on diversity in diversity and inclusion jobs in the nhs. Okay, £14 million a drop okay, £14 million is a drop in ocean when it comes to in the ocean when it comes to nhs spending. Is that really in the ocean when it comes to n priorityiding. Is that really in the ocean when it comes to n priority that. Is that really in the ocean when it comes to n priority that coulds that really in the ocean when it comes to n priority that could pay it really in the ocean when it comes to n priority that could pay forzally a priority that could pay for a few more nurses . I think the nhs model is complete kaput and i dont think theres any politician out there that ive heard from anyway whos to say it whos brave enough to say it shouldnt hour. I dont think shouldnt be hour. I dont think its short term planning is not the solution. All politicians the solution. All politicians are about re election. Are thinking about re election. It taken out bold of it needs to be taken out bold of you that. You to say that. I really because it is i really do, because it is a political football now. Well, its politics. Well, its politics. Right. Its all fine youre right. Its all fine cutting money. But then the politics involved in cutting money, you cant money, really, so you cant really what people think really care what people think about certain things. You just do just think, do it. Do it. You just think, do it. Were doing it anyway. We dont care what you think. Were doing it. To balance the it. If my jobs to balance the books and to. Well, be austerity. Eamonn no, i wouldnt. Eamonn no, i wouldnt. Im not. Not pro austerity. Theres lots of players i would spend money, but certain areas that you would and areas that you would look and youd really, really on on youd say, really, really on on this, panel think this, what does the panel think about triple lock . This, what does the panel think aboit triple lock . This, what does the panel think aboi mean, iple lock . This, what does the panel think aboi mean, again, ck . This, what does the panel think aboi mean, again, you know, i mean, again, you know, people the cabinet are people within the cabinet are now unsustainable. Now saying its unsustainable. Youve twice many youve got twice as many children poverty than children living in poverty than pensioners and its working households funding households that are funding this. You know, would you keep the triple with as the the triple lock with 8. 5 as the figure at the moment . Well, i would say is and this express poll demonstrates, 190,000 people have signed this petition in a matter of hours, barely day. I think thats why barely a day. I think thats why they wont get rid of it, because pensioners get out and vote. Pensioners are proactive and the young people that youre talking , theyre so talking about, theyre so disenfranchised, dont disenfranchised, they dont feel like any stake in a like theyve got any stake in a disenfranchised their disenfranchised because their children well, right. Children. Well, all right. Under under children, theyre under under children, but young adults as well and they just wont get out and vote and it wont change working young, younger people fundamentally dont think that theyre have the state theyre going to have the state pension triple lock when they are that age. Are of that age. Thats the worry or maybe and thats the worry or maybe even state pension at even a state pension at all. I mean, but i would say to the people do think the the people and i do think the countrys aged just think the countrys aged just i think the world is ageing. Do think that when you but i do think that when you go through your whole life and youve contributed and youve worked and become worked hard and you become old and and you and you become frail and you become reliant on other people, you you feel very you want, you feel very, very insecure. There to insecure. Who is there to support who is to help support me . Who is there to help me . Happens if need an me . What happens if i need an extra expense whatever . And i extra expense or whatever . And i think all fine saying if think its all fine saying if i hear term again, rich hear the term again, rich pensioners , thats all know, pensioners, thats all you know, its in the eye of the beholder, that sort of thing. I do think people deserve of this triple lock. Lock. I dont like it when young people talk about, oh, theres all these millionaire pensioners. Thats. Oh, okay. Probably thats their one asset and they probably want to give hand it over to their children anyway. Theyve hand instead, theyve got to hand it the care home. It over to the care home. Well, yeah, exactly. So its not exactly like theyre hoarding of money hoarding huge amounts of money in. Obviously there will in general. Obviously there will be massively rich be some massively rich pensioners there. Pensioners out there. , well, listen, can we well, well, listen, can we talk about liz truss, whos a talk about liz truss, whos on a bit a comeback tour at the bit of a comeback tour at the minute, shes basically minute, and shes basically saying wasnt me. Saying, well, it wasnt me. Everything decided was everything i decided was right proper and correct and right and proper and correct and whatever how it was whatever it is, its how it was interpreted by the big bad bully boys of city and theyre boys of the city and theyre vested interests and that vested interests and all that sort thing. So a year on, how sort of thing. So a year on, how do we view liz truss . Do we view liz truss . Emily well, i was actually why not talk about it . I was in a bit of in the thick of it really, because i was working at the institute of economic affairs, which was one of those think tanks that had given liz truss quite a lot of advice over the years and people who worked there quite well and there knew her quite well and there knew her quite well and there was a lot of support for liz truss at the time. Now i didnt support liz truss mostly because id met her and i didnt think she was particularly empathetic didnt have empathetic and maybe didnt have the personal skills for the right personal skills for the right personal skills for the job. But lots of people thought this is the chance to put someone in in number 10 who is going to be a proper small state free marketeer, low tax. Lets grow the economy type of person. Unfortunately she failed at pretty much the first hurdle. And although she did identify a lot of things that are wrong with our economy, she wanted to make big supply side reforms. But she announced tax cuts at the same time as announcing huge Spending Plans with the Energy Price Cap guarantee. And it all went it all went kaput. I dont think she was the first person to spot that. A small, you know, small state is what conservatives want. Actually, all she did was was do it too quickly. And to be perfectly honest, there was no humility, no remorse , no humility, no remorse, no acceptance for the impact that the tangible impact that shes had on on all of us, the execution of it was absolutely dismal. Dismal. We had a once in a generation an opportunity where just after the queen had died, the whole world us, talking world was looking at us, talking about with great pomp and ceremony. Back within ceremony. Britain is back within a week. She decimated that with an uncosted, unelected and unplanned mini budget they couldnt even call it a budget because then theyd have to have run it past civil servants. That was diced a room between was diced up in a room between her, a Kwasi Kwarteng and however many other finance figures. Absolute figures. And this absolute nonsense somehow nonsense that a cabal somehow stopped her when she ploughed through like some sort of dictator, not even speaking to anyone shes there is some anyone else, shes there is some truth to the decimated mortgage levels. There is some truth to the treasury saying no. So i think treasury saying no. So i think keir starmer , for example, will keir starmer, for example, will have a lot of trouble in trying to implement anything radical, which is why hes saying were going to follow tories tax going to follow the tories tax and spend. Our producer, can we natalie, our producer, can we run the Professor Green package about the poverty, the cost of living, is that available . It living, is that available . It isnt available. Okay. Dont isnt available. Okay. Dont worry about it. Instead, were going to talk about Prince William in new york, about earthshot. Have a look at this. Earthshot. Have a look at this. The prince of waders entering the hudson river in new york city to learn about a unique project to restore oyster reefs with discard shells. But why doesit with discard shells. But why does it matter . Well, imagine a world with no trees, no more clean air, no more wildlife living among them, and weather and flooding gets worse. Thats and flooding gets worse. Thats what experts say happens in new york harbour. But instead of trees, its oysters that have been wiped out and ended up in restaurant menus. Pete restaurant menus. Pete malinowski, executive director of billion oyster project, explains means its an ecosystem, its a landscape. Ecosystem, its a landscape. So its just like clear cutting a forest. We had used to have 220,000 acres of oyster reefs. Those reefs provided food and habitat for hundreds of species. They filter the water, stabilise the bottom and protect the waves. So without the shore from waves. So without the shore from waves. So without the you lose all you the oysters, you lose all you lose that whole landscape. Billion projects billion oyster projects mission restore 1 billion mission is to restore 1 billion oysters to new york harbour to create a self sustaining wild population enough to filter the standing water in new york harbour. In just three days, Prince William met with volunteers and restaurateurs who helped collect £1. 8 billion of discarded shells across the city. At the projects , enormous city. At the projects, enormous shell pile on governors island, where the shells are dried out before going back into the harbour for live baby oysters to attach to. And those babies will begin life in the Hatchery Centre where the prince met. High School Students who use fish waste to grow algae. The fish waste to grow algae. The babies then feed off this. Its babies then feed off this. Its a way of keeping the next generation optimistic about the environment and interested in conservation. An fraioli whos conservation. An fraioli whos the education director at billion oyster project, explains i having them here and being able to mix up their school day between their traditional academics and this kind of hands on work makes for a really you know, a really wonderful High School Experience for them. And were very lucky to have blocks of time with them in the afternoon where they can come into these kinds of labs and do their work. Today, Prince William is expected to speak at the second earthshot prize Innovation Summit alongside some high profile guests, including bill gates and former Prime Minister of new zealand , jacinda ardern. Of new zealand, jacinda ardern. 15 finalists will be unveiled and will showcase their new solutions to repair planet earth on a global stage camera wahaca gb news in new york city now , gb news in new york city now, oysters are filtration creatures i you wouldnt think of them in the thames because the thames would be filthy and full of all sorts of things. But surely so would new york harbour or bay, whatever. But it would you want to eat one of those . I think on that. Heres the weather, that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers are proud sponsors of weather on. Gb news. Weather on. Gb news. Hello. Very good day to you. It is going to be an unsettled day with a lot of cloudy, wet and windy weather around for many of us. A slightly fresher feel than of late, too. You can see just how widespread the rain is at the moment and it is going to be heavy at times. Were going to see totals up, going to see totals building up, particularly of particularly across parts of north west england and western wales. A warning in wales. We do have a warning in force with some disruption possible. Its possible. For many, its a cloudy and windy picture , though cloudy and windy picture, though some brightness across far northern parts of scotland. Temperatures well near normal for the time of year. Highs into the low 20s perhaps for some, but the unsettled weather, but in the unsettled weather, its feel pretty its going to feel pretty unpleasant as we go through the evening. Were to going see this spell making spell of rain gradually making its way east, north, eastwards across more Northern Areas before further wet and before some further wet and windy arrives from the windy weather arrives from the west. It will have some heavy bursts mixed it, which is bursts mixed into it, which is why totals really are why those totals really are going build up across the going to build up across the next day or so. Temperatures arent going to drop much. These temperatures what temperatures are close to what youd during daytime youd expect during the daytime at this time of year, but it is going to feel unpleasant if youre early tomorrow in the youre out early tomorrow in the wind cloudy, wet wind and rain. A cloudy, wet picture then for many picture again. Then for many of us tomorrow, see that us tomorrow, you can see that rain gradually make its way rain does gradually make its way eastwards. The afternoon eastwards. So by the afternoon it likely to affecting it is likely to be affecting more central southern parts of england behind it, there will be something a bit drier, perhaps brighter, of brighter, but also plenty of showers these heavy and showers. These will be heavy and thundery times with the risk thundery at times with the risk of some hail and temperatures are normal for the time of are near normal for the time of yeah are near normal for the time of year. Feeling unpleasant, year. But feeling unpleasant, that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers, proud sponsors of weather on gb news. Very good morning to you. Welcome to the program. Just good morning to you. Its just gone 9 00. It is tuesday , the gone 9 00. It is tuesday, the 19th of september. Thank you for your company are tuned into breakfast on gb news with eamonn and isabel. Well wherever you are here, the stories that we have been covering so far this morning on our youtube has our Breakfast Show youtube has suspended the monetisation of Russell Brands channel, putting his career and income in jeopardy. The move follows Sexual Assault allegations against the actor and comedian , which hes actor and comedian, which hes denying our National Reporter Theo Chikomba is at Scotland Yard for us policy. Well have the latest from new Scotland Yard, where the metropolitan police have received an alleged Sexual Assault which took place in 2003in london. And well have the latest on Russell Brands youtube channel, which has been stripped of its ability to make money at the top paid promotion. Paid promotion. Labours keir starmer has arrived in paris. These pictures just in. Hes about to meet the french president to discuss post brexit plans should he become Prime Minister as consultants and Junior Doctors walk out together for the first time, what is the government going to do to stop these strikes . Strikes . While the Health Secretary told us this morning he wants to protect the right to strike, but also the lives of patients as were consulting on, is similar to what other countries have such italy or such as france or italy or spain, where people have the right to strike. We recognise thats an important right, but we also protect Time Critical services in hospital like chemotherapy , in hospital like chemotherapy, like dialysis. So that those are still provided, not withstanding the disruption. Perhaps to hip and knee operations or to outpatient services. So thats what were consulting on. Its important we protect Patient Choice alongside recognising the right to strike. Well, the Health Secretarys got a very nice time there. I wanted to get it. Well, it was sunny on saturday. It was really sunny, but not so anymore. So anymore. So anymore. No. And weve had a few days of awfulness anyway. And what else is going to happen . Lets find out. On duty, alex burkill. Burkill. Hello. Its wet and windy this tuesday. A real autumnal feel to the weather. Ill have more later. More later. So youre actually sunbathing . Well, 7 well, i 7 well, i sat in hum . Well, i sat in my deck chair for about five minutes before a whizzed off to do something i cant remember what on saturday . Oh, something. Anyway, you mind oh, something. Anyway, you mirwhatever doing , youre whatever youre doing, youre listening on radio. Listening to us on radio. Youre watching us on television. You can join in any of the discussions emailing of the discussions by emailing gbviews gbnews. Com or you can tweet at. Gb tweet at. Gb news. Things are moving apace in this Russell Brand situation, so the allegations come in once again against the actor and the comedian. And this morning the news we have from youtube as well. Isabel well theyve suspended the monetise ization of his channel, which essentially means advertising etcetera, for what they say is a violation of their creator. Responsibility policy, which risks harm to their users. Well , he which risks harm to their users. Well, he was on tour three remaining live shows have been postponed. Postponed. This in the wake of the metropolitan Police Announcing theyve received a report of an alleged Sexual Assault, which occurred 20 years ago. Well , russell occurred 20 years ago. Well, Russell Brand is, as weve been reporting , denying weve been reporting, denying all the allegations against him. But we can get all the very latest from our National Reporter, Theo Chikomba, who joins us from Scotland Yard. Look, this is being taken seriously now, not just by the police, but by the google owned channel from where he made most of his money. It is indeed. Well of course, these days you dont necessarily have to be on main stream television, traditional tv. Now, television, traditional tv. Now, you have platforms such as youtube. You can use your twitter or profile to post videos and someone like Russell Brand was doing that. He has over 6 million subscribers on his youtube channel. That is where he posted that video last week. Friday and of course, we heard about the investigation that was done by the sunday times, the times and the channel 4 programme dispatches , which 4 programme dispatches, which was broadcast across the weekend. And today , though, we weekend. And today, though, we have learned this morning that hes been stripped of his ability to make money. Essentially what this means is that adverts which were broadcast during his videos on youtube , perhaps at the middle youtube, perhaps at the middle or during the video, will no longer be applicable. He will no longer be applicable. He will no longer be applicable. He will no longer be able to make money from that. We know hes been dropped from his publisher, parted ways with his agent. So it seems as though it is a fast paced, moving story. We can bnng paced, moving story. We can bring you that statement, though, from youtube, which we have received this morning. It have received this morning. It says we have suspended monetisation on Russell Brands channel for violating our creator responsibility policy. Creator responsibility policy. If a creators off platform behaviour harms our users, employees or ecosystem, we take action to protect the community. The company said that it had suspended brands channel from the Youtube Partner Program following series allegations against the creator. This action means the channel is no longer able to monetise on youtube. The decision applies to all channels that may be owned or operated by the 48 year old. So essentially, while he might not be able to monetise this channel that hes had, he cant then go on to have another channel and monetise off those videos. So its huge, particularly for younger audiences who have watched him on his channel and many people across the world. So he has lost that ability to make money off that. His tour, of course he performed in wembley on saturday afternoon, a performance which started later than it was supposed to. Here i have 40 minutes late. We were there. We managed to see him arrive and today, though, he was supposed today, though, he was supposed to perform in windsor and that was cancelled last night by his promoters and several other performances. He was supposed to do later this week as well. But in terms of the allegations runs themselves, we did mention that a report was given to the metropolitan police over the weekend. A woman allegedly sexually assaulted in 2003in soho. This follows the programme that went out on the weekend, although the police havent mentioned Russell Brands name. And we understand there are those four women who have come forward with allegations of Sexual Assault and rape which took place between which allegedly took place between 2006 and 2013. Of course, we do expect the metropolitan police to speak to Russell Brand at some point. They may want to do that as part of their investigations. As the story continues to find out what happened during that period. Happened during that period. Thanks, theo. Thank you very much indeed. So youre saying to me that the elysee palace is near the Champs Elysees . Well, yeah. Well, yeah. Well, yeah. I could just see the arc de triomphe in the background of those shots that weve just got in a moment ago. Keir starmer, visiting my visiting macron and my geography. Just on geography. I was just looking on on google maps going, oh, i didnt realise. I realise that makes i realise that that makes sense, doesnt it . It was the countryside. You go. There you go. There you go. Say palace. Right there. Say palace. Right there. Paris is a beautiful city. Paris is a beautiful city. Its lovely place for the its a lovely place for the labour leader to be waking up this and indeed glad this morning and indeed glad handing describe it as. But we believe well be discussing with discussing Brexit Relations with the french president , emmanuel discussing Brexit Relations with the frenywithesident, emmanuel discussing Brexit Relations with the frenywithesidesortemmanuel discussing Brexit Relations with the frenywithesidesort of manuel macron, with this sort of protocol meeting. Protocol breaking meeting. Oh, well see what you mean. See right. See what you mean . Right. Triomphe, which the arc de triomphe, which is the top Champs Elysees , and i top of the Champs Elysees, and i presume theyre walking in there to palace. So that if it is to the palace. So that if it is the arc de triomphe, maybe its something. Maybe its another one. Yeah yeah. Yeah. Paris good in so many ways. But i wouldnt like to be driving it. Driving round it. Im just. Im just. Would you fancy driving . Would you fancy driving . No, actually. No, actually. Its right. Yes. Right by oh, its right. Yes. Right by the plaza de la concorde. So. Yeah, its right next les. Yeah, its right next to les. Confirmed a little geography lesson for us all this morning. Did i ever tell you that story . Oh no. About me going to a restaurant on the Champs Elysees . 7 no. No. And going into the ladies instead of the men . I dont instead of the men . I dont think i can tell it on air, but its it was a mistake. I didnt realise it was in the wrong place. Anyway there was a whole, whole experience. Unlike this meeting, which is fully between the fully intentional between the Prime Minister in waiting wannabe sir keir starmer and his. Well, not his opposite number yet. His wannabe opposite number, president macron of france. Look, this has been france. Look, this has been played down massively by downing street. Lets have a little street. Lets have a little listen in to what tom harwood has to say about all of this. Has to say about all of this. Hi, tom. Tell us more. Yes, good morning. Number ten over on this side of the channel is saying that this is simply not much to look at. They point to, for example, all the visit that ed miliband made to the elysee palace back in 2012, meeting the newly elected french president , Francois Hollande , and saying Francois Hollande, and saying that, yes, that broke protocol. Technically, this is breaking protocol today , but its not protocol today, but its not exactly unpressed dented, but also number 10 would point to what the Prime Minister has been doing in this space. It was only a few months ago that rishi sunak was over at the elysee palace for the franco british summit, where a new deal was struck on british funding for extra joint patrols on on on french beaches and a new centre , french beaches and a new centre a , french beaches and a new centre , a Detention Centre as well on on french soil funded by the british taxpayer. But clearly british taxpayer. But clearly what what keir starmer is trying to do today is present himself as as a global statesman and no matter how much number 10 wants to sort of play that down, it is significant that he has achieved this audience and it does suggest that perhaps some figures in the European Union are looking to keir starmer as the person who may well take the reins as british Prime Minister as soon as next year. However, what what keir starmer has been saying in the last few days is that in 2025 hes seeking to almost renegotiate the brexit deal that was achieved back in 2020. See, keir starmer is saying that this deal is up for review as it is in 2025 and hed want to have a closer relationship with the European Union, although staying outside of the Single Market and the customs union. However for whether or not this comes up in conversation with Emmanuel Macron today , well, that might macron today, well, that might be unlikely given the noises coming out of the European Union. There saying that such a profound renegotiation is not particularly in their interests i thanks, hum thanks, tom. Thank you very much indeed. Weve got andrew much indeed. Weve got Andrew Pierce coming up at 9 30 this morning. This Russell Brown story continues to move today. Story continues to move today. Its going to continue to grow and escalate and the decision by egypt to no longer monetise what hes doing there will hit him in the pocket. He you know, his shows have been cancelled. We know the police are now looking at not investigate but theyre investigate it, but theyre looking whos come looking at the woman whos come forward in response to the sunday times times investigation in which i think is first journalism at its best, four years of first class investigative journalism. Its a huge, story. Huge, huge story. Story. And the its a huge story. And the other story is how are you other big story is how are you inbev to get on today . Inbev going to get on today . Knows . Mean, you know, who knows . I mean, you know, my her tweet, i thought my view on her tweet, i thought her tweet was outrageous and reckless. I still do. And reckless. And i still do. And ive been buoyed by the support ive been buoyed by the support ive from saying, ive had from people saying, well calling it out. Well done for calling it out. And the interesting thing is this story will move and people say youre innocent until proved guilty or whatever. But the guilty or whatever. But the pattern that is evolving here and the sheer amount of claims that are coming in against him cannot be a good position for him to be in. Exactly. Look, youtube dont cancel people like thats been one of the criticisms of many of us who work in the mainstream media, mainstream media, which some my Co Presenters think some of my Co Presenters think is incarnate. But it is is devil incarnate. But it is that youtube you can do what you like on youtube. Its the unregulated time. We didnt have the regulations that have the regulations that we have here ofcom that the here with ofcom and that the printed press have for them to take that action a very take that action is a very serious step. Weve got say okay, weve got to say goodbye to you, andrew. Good luck when weve got the luck at 9 30 when weve got the shadow economic secretary to the treasury available to talk to , treasury available to talk to, and thats tulip siddiq. Good and thats tulip siddiq. Good morning to you , miss siddiq. Can morning to you, miss siddiq. Can you hear me okay . Good morning. You hear me okay . Good morning. All good . All good. Right. So, keir starmer is in paris and what do you think he wants to achieve . Whats he going to come away with . Away with . Well, i think keir is hoping to achieve more of a stronger brexit deal, and thats why hes in paris. Hes a bit worried about the fact, as we all are, that the government have botched this brexit deal. Its a bit too thin. If you look at countries like new zealand and canada, theyve actually got a stronger brexit deal. Theyve got some brexit deal. Theyve got some february agreements , which makes february agreements, which makes it for businesses to cut it easier for businesses to cut red tape. But the main thing red tape. But the main thing that keir wants to focus on when he is in paris is about a Security Agreement with the eu so that were in a situation where, for example , if an where, for example, if an italian man has been accused of something dangerous, for example , smuggling people smuggling or being involved in a gang, then the uk authorities will be aware of that and it will make it easier to make sure that criminals cant travel between countries in the eu. Therell be lots of people listening to this though, who will be suspicious of somebody who is going out, you know, breaking protocol when you know, breaking protocol when you know, breaking protocol when you know it isnt his role really to be meeting president macron and trying to tackle an issue with controversial plans. I mean, we heard from the government this morning. They believe this migrant swap believe that this migrant swap that was proposed last week is effectively signing back up to eu control and to migrant quotas decided by them. Decided by them. I dont think here is breaking protocol in any way. Hes being a response rebel leader of the opposition. They will be an election no matter what in the next year and when that election happens, if we are in government, we want to be prepared to have a strong and stronger relationship with the eu. Theyre our closest trading partners and we dont want to engagein partners and we dont want to engage in divisive rhetoric. So what doing is going out what hes doing is going out there establishing a stronger relationship with president macron, and hes always Meeting International World Leaders. This is an unusual and what hes trying to do is secure the borders of our country and making sure that we keep ourselves safe. If anything , i ourselves safe. If anything, i think its not breaking protocol. Its actually being very responsible as potentially the party that may be in government next time. Yeah, but, you know, hes got his work cut out with trying to renegotiate any deal with europe. With europe. Theres appetite from theres no appetite from them. Fact , ive heard theres no appetite from them. Fact, ive heard him them. In fact, ive heard him described as delusional by brussels. I think its wrong to say that theres no appetite for them. I think that if you look at other countries and previously i mentioned and new zealand and canada, they have managed to negotiate better deals than we have as a country. Our brexit deal at the moment, im sure everyone will agree is quite thin and the government have botched it up. So i think if we can go and try and get a stronger relationship, it can only help the country when it comes to trading in terms of security, terms of the security, in terms of the economy. So for keir is economy. So for me, keir is doing absolutely the right thing. Dont think all thing. And i dont think at all in any way is delusional when it comes Opposition Leader comes to a Opposition Leader wanting go and speak to wanting to go and speak to someone whos government and someone whos in government and saying, we do win the saying, look, if we do win the next election, is how we next election, this is how we want prepared to. Want to be prepared to. Talking about delusional. And talking about delusional. And if you do win the next election is too delusional. Its something weve been talking about on the program this morning. And basically what im trying to ask you is, would labour commit to xz2 or do you feel at this stage you could commit to xz2 in full . What do you think the future holds as they shadow economic secretary to the treasury for the rail line. Line. We want to see hs2 delivered. There was as you know, a leak and there was a document that said that perhaps the north would be taken out of the plans for hs2 and our question, urgent question in the house yesterday , which you may have seen, we were hoping for some answers of where hs2 would start, where it would stop and also wanted some answers on this leaked document that came out. And that came out. And unfortunately, the urgent question in parliament, which you may have watched yesterday, there absolutely no clarity there was absolutely no clarity from the government minister about where it would start, where would stop, how much it where it would stop, how much it would cost, and whether the nonh would cost, and whether the north will actually be left out. Nothing said that to the nothing was said of that to the point where actually conservative mps started getting frustrated asking questions frustrated and asking questions about this because obviously hs2 has been in the making for a long time and they want some clarity it. Now. What we want clarity on it. Now. What we want to a responsible to know as a responsible opposition is if its going to cost more, much are the cost more, how much are the revised because we revised costs . Because we wouldnt be very responsible for us to try and say we commit fully until we know what the revised costs are and what the practicalities are. So were practicalities are. So were asking the government to come clean whether the clean to tell us whether the leak was wrong or right. And then well make a decision based on but what we do know is on that. But what we do know is that we definitely want hs2 to be delivered. So but but at the moment, the jury so but but at the moment, the jury is still out until, you know, those figures. Tulip siddiq, you very much siddiq, thank you very much indeed for your time. Ive got to leave it there. Busy day for to leave it there. Busy day for you as well. Well say you as well. So well say goodbye to you. Thank you. Thank you. Stay with we are stay with us. We are commemorating reflecting on commemorating and reflecting on all happened in one all thats happened in the one yeah all thats happened in the one year. Today since her majestys now, today is the First Anniversary of the state funeral of her majesty, the Queen Elizabeth ii at westminster abbey. What were doing is were commemorating her majestys legacy with your memories and views on the monarchy one year on. Well, our National Reporter Ellie Costello can tell us more i the day the nation fell silent. On after lying in state silent. On after lying in state for four days, Queen Elizabeth coffin was taken in procession on the state gun carriage for the short journey from the palace of westminster to the abbey for the state funeral. The service was attended by heads of state and Senior International figures as. State and Senior International figures as. Its estimated that 4 billion people watched from around the world at the end of the service, her majestys coffin was taken to wellington arch on the streets of london. Thousands of people gathered on the route of the procession to pay the route of the procession to pay their respects, taking pride of place in front of the gun carriage was apollo , the drum carriage was apollo, the drum horse . Hugh murphy is the owner of the david shire horse farm in west wales. Of the david shire horse farm in west wales. He reared of the david shire horse farm in west wales. He reared apollo west wales. He reared apollo before he joined the household cavalry. He told me that apollo cavalry. He told me that apollo then named ed, was always something special. Im convinced certain horses just get it and they just know that they are actually very important. And ed just has that little bit of charisma. Give me that inner confidence. You can see it in his eye. He knows he is the main man , the main is the main man, the main attraction. There was a sense of attraction. There was a sense of huge fight for us down at the vityaz. For myself and the family, and we were proud that we had a small but significant role in what was a historic occasion for some, the emotion became too much. Became too much. And its one of the things, of course, monarchy does. It gives you that collective sense of identity , be the monarch. Of identity, be the monarch. There family goes through the ordinary processes of human life , of birth, of marriage, of death, of children , of middle death, of children, of middle age, of old age. But you do it on a bigger a grander scale. Once the coffin reached wellington arch, it was placed in the state hearse. In the state hearse. Her majesty left london for the last time on her final journey to windsor, the castle that held a special place in her heart as the coffin was being dnven heart as the coffin was being driven through the park. Driven through the park. And there was the extraordinary moment when one of the queens ponies , her the queens ponies, her favourite pony, seen , seemed favourite pony, seen, seemed somehow to the bow to the coffin of its mistress. These again there things you know, these moments , they stick in the mind moments, they stick in the mind and the collective mind. The queens corgis, muick and sandy were also present as the procession passed britains longest serving monarch was buned longest serving monarch was buried later that day at Saint Georges chapel after a 70 year reign. Queen elizabeth ii was reign. Queen elizabeth ii was laid to rest next to her beloved husband , prince philip. Ellie husband, prince philip. Ellie costello , news. Costello, news.

And here they are , Catherine Forster queen. Are, Catherine Forster queen. In the last year , she was in the last year, she was such a dignified individual, so witty and was such a positive force for our country. However force for our country. However for her son, king charles, has waited a long time to fulfil his destiny. He is certainly different from his mother, but he shares the same sense of humour and the same stoicism. Although he clearly doesnt have an lot of patience. An awful lot of patience. Its been a year since the funeral of the late queen and what a strange year its been , what a strange year its been, missy. Still every day. But i have to say that that old adage, the apple doesnt fall far from the apple doesnt fall far from the tree, certainly applies in the tree, certainly applies in the case of our new king. He served us well this last year, and im looking forward to many more years to come. Hes hes more years to come. Hes hes obviously learned the lesson by watching his mother. Watching his mother. Do i miss the queen . Oh, undoubtedly. Do i miss the queen . Oh, undoubtedly. Is charlie doing a good job . To a point. But he does need to keep his nose out of politics. And had the royal family got a future for. Well, as long as andrew and harry have got nothing to do with it, i think the future is secure. God save. Rest in peace, your majesty.
