Good morning. Well, the labour needs to castits well, the labour needs to cast its keir starmer finally. Cast its keir starmer finally. Hes telling us what hes going to do or says hes going to do about illegal migration across the channel tell you what hes going to do. Hes going to let more in. Well, he would say not, but were going to work this out. It sounds like it probably inevitably will more in the inevitably will let more in the deal inevitably will let more in the deal. If its agreed. Well see us in quota of migrants us take in a quota of migrants from the eu in return for sending back people who arrive here is of here illegally, which is all of them the channel. Them across the channel. Keir starmer says his my view keir starmer says his party will restore the security of borders smashing of britains borders by smashing the gangs. The criminal smuggling gangs. Have that before . Nor have you heard that before . Nor does sound good to be does it sound too good to be true. Right. True. Thats right. Joined now by news we are joined now by gb news presenter and conservative mp esther mcvey. Morning esther. Morning. We were saying its quite nice to finally see a little bit of clear water, no pun intended, between the conservatives labour. Conservatives and labour. But does make any sense does this policy make any sense to vote winner . To you as a vote winner . I would say only starmer i would say only keir starmer could with the idea of could come up with the idea of stopping illegal migration by making sure they all come here. Thats right. Its a bit like saying were going to crack down on burglars in prisons and the way were going to do that is by decriminalising thats decriminalising burglary. Thats what. What theyre doing. Hes going to open negotiations about joining an eu burden system. So all burden sharing system. So all these migrants who land in greece or france , theres a pool greece or france, theres a pool of them. Were going to take a share of them. And the mail says in their front page today, thatll be 100,000 last year. Yeah, i think that that is the true name burden sharing scheme. Scheme. Um, and if you notice, theres quite a few countries in theres quite a few countries in the eu who do not want to be sharing in this scheme. So youve polands , youre youve got polands, youre hungarys, denmarks. So hungarys, youre denmarks. So what he is saying, oh well ill rush and ill take all those rush in and ill take all those people who the eu or the parts of the do not want. So hes of the eu do not want. So hes saying its a minimum of 30,000, but realistically, 100,000, 120,000. So its a its it is astonishing. And i mean, look, on the one hand, esther, you and i know the governments own policy isnt working with rwanda. Might happen. Lets hope it does. By the way, he says hes cancel rwanda to you. But this is a vote loser. Gary steed for starmer, particularly behind places like the red wall. Well kent. Well, hes trying to sell it. Well at the moment, isnt he . Oh, no. What were going to do is crack down on all those smugglers. You know, people who are smuggling people. But if you hear what the ncaa are meant to be National Crime be saying, National Crime agency, saying you need be saying, National Crime aideterrent. Saying you need be saying, National Crime aideterrent. Yeah. Ying you need be saying, National Crime aideterrent. Yeah. Therefore, eed a deterrent. Yeah. Therefore, you scheme. You you need a rwanda scheme. You need a third country where people are going to if theyve got rid of their passport. So you cant send them back to their country. And he their own country. And he is getting rid that deterrent. Getting rid of that deterrent. So news is youve got so the good news is youve got the illegal migration bill through labour voted against it. They times. You through labour voted against it. Th rwanda. And what i will say if they dont do that, were heading for a constitutional crisis. If the law , you know, crisis. If the law, you know, the judges are going to say no to what has been a democratic and a political decision and if they do a constitutional crisis, how does that play out then , esther . Because if the Supreme Court remember the lord chief justice backed the plan to otherjudges, backed the plan to other judges, didnt could we ignore what the Supreme Court does . Could Parliament Say we are the sovereign body . Well, lets hope theyre realising this will go to a constitutional crisis. Lets realise that they know what their job is. Theirjob is what theirjob is. Theirjob is to implement the law. The law that has been decided by politicians, ones whove been elected by the public and not go against that because the problem will come after that. So the right thing is to make sure that the rwanda policy goes ahead. It the rwanda policy goes ahead. It should be in november. Lets see what starmer actually says about this tackling the gang. So this is the quote. Says, my labour the quote. He says, my Labour Government twice government will be twice as ruthless to smash the gangs and secure british borders. Well, twice doesnt twice as ruthless doesnt sound terribly the terribly impressive because the government ruthless government arent being ruthless at all. These criminal smuggling gangs growing fat on the gangs are growing fat on the governments failures, while the tories rhetoric tories ramp up empty rhetoric around illegal immigration for cheap headlines. Doesnt cheap headlines. But he doesnt actually say anything about how he the criminal he would smash the criminal gangs just hes going gangs. He just says hes going to twice as ruthless. Its to be twice as ruthless. Its pathetic. Pathetic. Esther well, they werent really ruthless. I mean, ruthless was by having a deterrent. Ruthless is by having third countries that these Illegal Immigrants can go to. So thats what you need to do. It is empty words and i dont believe theres any substance to it. I think the reality is its his way to take us back into the eu. Its his way to do the eus eu. Its his way to do the eus bidding. Hes off now to see macron next week. He is to again see what it is they want to do. He will go in in bended knee and go against what the country wanted, and that was brexit and getting brexit done. Well, no, getting brexit done. Well, no, hes going to go back into the eu not even hiding. It is he trying to appeal to the remainers . The remainers . Yes, he is. Of which there was a lot which is him and was a lot of which is him and his cabinet. And we shouldnt forget that labours brexit forget that as labours brexit Party Spokesman in corbyns government, the architect government, he was the architect of referendum plan, of the second referendum plan, which he backed yeah, which he backed twice. Yeah, and, and also, of course he shouldnt forget that hed campaigned to get Jeremy Corbyn a marxist, in as Prime Minister. There is some encouraging news as on asylum, esther, as well on asylum, esther, because are because the government are making the point that some people who arrived from making the point that some peop albania rrived from making the point that some peop albania werei from making the point that some peop albania were deported n from albania were deported within 48 hours. This week. Now thats what weve got to do with lots more. Yeah, and that was the start of the deal. Thats the start of if you know where youve got the people have come from, its easy to send them back and you get those deals in place. Its when people have come by people have come over by dinghies aslef, got dinghies and aslef, theyve got rid of the passports. Thats why you need third countries to send them said, keir them to. I like i said, keir starmer would be getting rid of people illegally on people illegally coming over on dinghies. Because dinghies. You know why . Because theyve become an over legally, probably cruise boats. Probably on cruise boats. The numbers theyd cruise ships, the numbers theyd cruise ships, the numbers coming numbers theyd be having coming in. To a couple of tory in. I talked to a couple of tory mps and they said we cant believe weve finally got an issue. Can really attack labour we can really attack labour on because sitting on on because hes been sitting on the fence, hes been turning on everything borders. With you, open i agree with you, open borders always wanted borders. Theyve always wanted more. And when you more safe routes. And when you know a billion people know theres a billion people potentially the potentially moving around the planet, a lot of people planet, that is a lot of people let in. Let them all in. In the first place. In the first place. Tony blair, the dictator, Justin Trudeau well. Justin trudeau as well. Week. So that later this week. So that makes my blood cold. And makes my blood run cold. And weve de souza coming weve got rachel de souza coming in morning well. Esther in this morning as well. Esther childrens commissioner. And she is and is arguing that schools and parents guidance parents need more guidance from the the the government on the transgender and whether transgender issue and whether a child just self identify as child can just self identify as the sex. We need this, the opposite sex. We need this, dont we . We need some leadership on this issue. Yeah, i do believe that we need have some clear guidance need to have some clear guidance for that. But whilst it isnt there, i would always say the first principle is that parents, you know, are responsible for their children and parents have their children and parents have the first duty to their children. Therefore for whatever a child does is with consent of their parents. And thats what their parents. And thats what the schools need to do. And that is your first point of principle. That is okay because we know because we know some schools been allowing schools have been allowing children school, wear children to get to school, wear different clothes, identify with a pronoun or a a different pronoun or a different without telling different name without telling the. And that and that the families. And that and that is wrong. And thats why i say is wrong. And thats why i say the state isnt responsible for your child. A parent is now your child. A parent is now there might be times, and i understand this, that you might not agree with what a parent says because the parent might say, do you know what . I know whats for best my child. And actually, this is they are transitioning one way or another. But still, the parents have made that decision with the children and the state shouldnt be. The problem is we live in a world now where parents worry so much about what other parents think and what other teachers think. And everybodys trying to do thing. All do the right thing. Its all very well intentioned, but when do the right thing. Its all venkidsl intentioned, but when do the right thing. Its all ven kids come 1tioned, but when do the right thing. Its all ven kids come homei, but when do the right thing. Its all ven kids come home andt when do the right thing. Its all venkids come home and theyll my kids come home and theyll say, weve got a non binary child in my class, i obviously want of my eyes and want to kind of roll my eyes and 90, want to kind of roll my eyes and go, well , you know, there might go, well, you know, there might be bit more going on there be a bit more going on there than you realise. And what do you think that what you think that means . What does non binary can have non binary mean . And i can have that with them. But that conversation with them. But there so many parents. Its there are so many parents. Its such a New Territory for us. They dont know what say they dont know what to say about who is about that child who is dictating lot of the ideology dictating a lot of the ideology and non scientific thinking and the non scientific thinking in that parents in that environment that parents need leadership well. In that environment that parents nee we leadership well. In that environment that parents nee we want|dership well. In that environment that parents nee we want or rship well. In that environment that parents nee we want or we p well. In that environment that parents nee we want or we want. Rell. In that environment that parents nee we want or we want. Ill. In that environment that parents nee we want or we want. I think and we want or we want. I think the majority of parents want to be side with old be on side with the Old Fashioned of boys fashioned notion of boys and girls. Course. But girls. Yeah, of course. But were scared say the wrong were scared to say the wrong thing we need headteachers thing and we need headteachers to lead and the head to take the lead and the head teachers need the authorities to tell what can and tell them what they can and cant except for, like cant say except for, like i say, back to the first say, if you go back to the first principle, the parents are responsible children. Responsible for the children. And if the teachers are guided by that actually first point call is the parents, point of call is the parents, what are they happy with . What are doing . Actually are they doing . And it actually helps a lot because helps the teachers a lot because its not them taking control over somebody else. Its actually going back. And that is aduu actually going back. And that is adult speaking to adult about a child and the person who cares most is their mum and dad. Yeah can i ask you about one other story . I think one of a couple of the front pages youll have a dog in this fight because youre an mp from the north england, an mp from the north of england, rishi and the chancellor rishi sunak and the chancellor talking cancelling stage talking about cancelling stage two the high speed rail two of hs2, the high speed rail link. Can probably remind me link. You can probably remind me which is which part is staged. I cant even remember, but this has been its massively overbudget already. The projections, going to cost projections, its going to cost billions more than it should have should just get rid of have should they just get rid of it altogether . Have should they just get rid of it awell, her . Have should they just get rid of it awell, do . Have should they just get rid of it awell, do you know i have well, do you know what i have to this morning i was like, to say . This morning i was like, hooray, i saw the exclusive because been for because i have been fighting for a say what a waste. A long time to say what a waste. Completely. Completely. You know that money could be better spent on local transport, on reliable on internet connection, reliable internet. The for internet. So thank the lord for that. Gone way over budget internet. So thank the lord for that it gone way over budget internet. So thank the lord for that it is gone way over budget internet. So thank the lord for that it is out|e way over budget internet. So thank the lord for that it is out of may over budget internet. So thank the lord for that it is out of date ver budget internet. So thank the lord for that it is out of date. Ar budget internet. So thank the lord for that it is out of date. Andidget internet. So thank the lord for that it is out of date. And itst and it is out of date. And its the biggest vanity project ever. The are it will. So the odds are it will probably stop at maybe birmingham and a lot of money, a lot of time, a lot of the works already being done. Could they stop it all now . Maybe not. If theyve already done that. So theyve already done that. So theyve spent some billions already possible. Theyve spent some billions alrestage possible. Theyve spent some billions alre stage two possible. Theyve spent some billions alrestage two is possible. Theyve spent some billions alrestage two is itsiossible. Theyve spent some billions alrestage two is its hot ble. Theyve spent some billions alrestage two is its hot off. Theyve spent some billions alrestage two is its hot off the stage two is its hot off the press stage two is birmingham to manchester. Shelving phase manchester. Shelving that phase would save up to 34 billion money it will save. Theyve already spent 2. 3 billion on it. But hang on a minute. If it was meant to be london to manchester and it ends at birmingham and it ends birmingham, well, it ends in birmingham, well, it should us. Should have cost us. It should started at it should have started at birmingham in my view. Yeah, it should have always started. If youre ever to going do it, start in the north. But actually it wasnt really thought its thought through properly. Its had cases. It was had more business cases. It was a labour as well, a labour project as well, remember . Was. It was remember . Yes it was. It was lord in 2004. Now now, as remember . Yes it was. It was lsaid, in 2004. Now now, as remember . Yes it was. It was lsaid, its in 2004. Now now, as remember . Yes it was. It was lsaid, its out 2004. Now now, as remember . Yes it was. It was lsaid, its out of04. Now now, as remember . Yes it was. It was lsaid, its out of datelow now, as remember . Yes it was. It was lsaid, its out of date and now, as i said, its out of date and there lots of things wrong. There are lots of things wrong. Whether you the cost, whether you look at the cost, people say, how much electricity will per year, will it use actually per year, itll third of hinkley itll be a third of hinkley point, which we dont even have yet. Say, what are the yet. People say, what are the price tickets . They be price of tickets . They could be £600 youve got £600 each. Youve got environmental damage, youve got the youve got. Its the cost damage youve got. Its destroying going destroying communities going through all that green countryside to know. Not countryside to know. But not many people are using the trains into city anymore. Theyre doing online, theyre zooming. Theyre only going into work three days a week. This would be the best news ever if they stopped this. Im with you and put the money into other things that are needed. Do you think we would ever hean do you think we would ever hear, though, the government say, look, times have changed because pandemics. Because we had pandemics. Everyones now the pandemic, everyones from everyones now working from home. In home. We dont need this in the same way. Is it is it a convenient excuse that people will buy . Think , rather will buy . Do you think, rather than look, it was than saying, look, it was a disaster from day one, you know, will they come out and say, were not going to extend it . And this is the reason why weve had such significant social change dont need to change that people dont need to travel the same way. Travel in the same way. Too many reports come out now. Got reports coming now. Youve got reports coming out, committee out, Public Accounts Committee report the Infrastructure Projects report projects authorities report saying money. Saying its not value for money. We even what its we dont even know what its mission is and just, mission or vision is and just, you know, end it. And when youve seen even for euston station, where it was meant to end in doubling in costs just for that, i know youve realised it is a problem , but can i tell it is a problem, but can i tell you the upset on the ground is huge. So you the upset on the ground is huge. So in my patch it is a massive issue. Youre destroying swathes of the country for an out of date rail project and everybody wants local trains and local buses and like i said, broadband and yeah, decent broadband and yeah, decent broadband on the train. Yeah. Change everything. Yeah. Change everything. Yeah. Change everything. So and that story about hs2, i think it was an exclusive in the independent. Independent, a very good story. Now. Thank you esther. Now. Thank you esther. Thanks. And of course, esthers show is saturday. Its certainly a saturday morning with my hobby with a very nice hubby called philip. Weve got to mention him. We love left out. Love him. Feel left out. Know youre watching philip. Ten till 12. Ten till 12. Ive never miss it. I never miss fabulous to see you. Miss it. Fabulous to see you. Right. Get in touch with us this morning. Vaiews gbnews. Com. Want vaiews gbnews. Com. We want to hear you know hear from you now. Do you know the Roseanne Murphy the singer Roseanne Murphy from moloko . When moloko . Well you will when you hear this. By when it back hear this. By when it back shnnk hear this. By when it back shrink back maent running back mashing it back. Mashing it back. Bring it back. Mashing it back. Bring it back. Shrink back. Bring it back. Shrink back. Bring it back. Shrink back. Well, she calls. Thats a great song, by the way. Huge controversy last month because she had the temerity to say on facebook that she thinks puberty , are, quote , puberty blockers are, quote, absolutely desolate. She has criticised big pharma for laughing all the way to the bank. And guess whats now happened . The bbc has removed and replaced the singer from a scheduled program and its radio six music station. I think we were to be 5 5 hours dedicated to her music, but they say its nothing to do with her views on the bbc have denied that these comments on puberty blockers are the for the removal, but the reason for the removal, but many fans that is just too many fans think that is just too big coincidence. Were here in big a coincidence. Were here in the studio, my great colleague katie hind, who story katie hind, who broke this story in the mail. We will read the bbc statement , katie saying, of bbc statement, katie saying, of course. But whats your view . Why have they whats happened here . So i was contacted actually by staff who work on the station who were absolutely outraged that that rushing, rushing, rushing was so it was it was actually ten hours. Ten hours. It was five hours next monday , it was five hours next monday, five hours next tuesday. And it was it was kind of a celebration of her, really. It was kind of, you know, previous footage of her at concerts, her music, her interviews. And it was all it interviews. And it was all it was all on the schedule. It was all on the website published, you know, between midnight and 5 am. The next thing staff just see its been changed. And so, you know, one of them contacted me and was just really concerned about what this means for them actually as staff. You know, are they not allowed to have a view, you know, without being cancelled . So i obviously approached the bbc who said, no, no, no , no, nothing to see here no, no, no, nothing to see here and blamed it on a, you know, we change, we change things. You know, things change. We and they they said that theyve got a poetry week which was more appropriate little simz to, appropriate for little simz to, to take this slot and thats the thats the other performer little yes. Thats the other performer littiyeah. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. But poetry week isnt that week anyway. Different week. Its a different week. Its a different week. No, exactly. And also poetry week is, is in the diary way in advance. Yeah. The staff advance. Yeah. So, so the staff now staff i im speaking to, now the staff i im speaking to, theyre cross about theyre not, theyre cross about theyre not, theyre cross about the now know think the lies now you know they think the lies now you know they think the have lied and theyre the bbc have lied and theyre really cross about the denial as to the real reason behind their decision. Rod little writing in the sun today if youve read his today dont if youve read his column makes point column katie makes the point theyve got a form for lying. The bbc. They lied over whether we last night we were going to get last night at of traditional at the some of the traditional music night of the proms music last night of the proms they the conductor the they said the conductor the finnish conductor was uncomfortable jingoism. Finnish conductor was unc put rtable jingoism. Finnish conductor was unc put outile jingoism. Finnish conductor was unc put out a jingoism. Finnish conductor was unc put out a statementingoism. Finnish conductor was unc put out a statement saying,. She put out a statement saying, no, not. Well, this is the thing. So i always say the bbc dont lie. Theyll never lie on the record. And so and quite often in my experience , in years in my experience, in years of experience they sometimes experience of it, they sometimes will be quite transparent. But on utterly on this one, i was utterly stunned that they came back without without recognising it. And also, i think whats interesting, havent heard interesting, we havent heard anything since , you anything from them since, you know, run run know, this story is run and run and theyve just stuck and run and theyve just stuck to same state. So to that same state. And so i think i think they owe it to the licence fee payers to come out and actually tell us whats gone on here. Quite right. Quite right. And i think whats interesting as well about this story roshan murphys story is roshan murphys response , because she said that response, because she said that young trans as she said young trans people as she said in statement, little in that statement, little mixed up and then she up kids, she said, and then she went when there was this enormous activist enormous trans activist backlash, wasnt there, as there always is in situations. Always is in these situations. Its got up, isnt its always got up, isnt it . Its always got up, isnt it . So does she do . Look, so what does she do . Look, she said, im sorry in my she said, im so sorry in my comments have been directly hurtful to you. Hurtful to many of you. I understand fixed views are not helpful, really hope helpful, but i really hope people can understand concern people can understand my concern was us all. And was out of love for us all. And she said now completely she said she will now completely bow this conversation bow out of this conversation within Public Domain and she within the Public Domain and she said nothing since. So the trans activists what activists achieved what they wanted , which is to silence. Wanted, which is to silence. Silenced her. They silenced her. They silenced her. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. And of the and shes an and so of the and shes an important in this debate important voice in this debate because look because young people look up to her. Is. And actually i wont she is. And actually i wont i wont steal steal the idea i wont steal the steal the idea but our colleague dan hodges has tweeted this morning saying that when was pulled off when gary lineker was pulled off air, a huge backlash air, there was a huge backlash like alex like youll remember, alex scott. Went on strike. Scott. Oh, they went on strike. They did strike. They did strike. I mean, match of the day was ruined, wasnt it . There was no football focussed on was better because well because he wasnt on. Yeah well you wouldnt you. Wouldnt you would wouldnt you. Wouldnt you would wouldnt you. Wouldnt you football but you andrew. I hate football but theres no such thing you theres been no such thing you know in this situation which i think is just really telling. There are no other musicians coming out. I mean, shes an absolute icon. She she is. And also shes going to be at number two. I mean, only out to olivia mean, only losing out to olivia rodriguez, you rodriguez, who is like, you know, phenomenon for know, a global phenomenon for young so she young people. Right. So she would otherwise probably be at number this weekend. And number one this weekend. And yet the are not the bbc, you know, are not acknowledging the bbc, you know, are not acknowledgi thats whats so you see, thats whats so interesting, isnt it . As you say, the public has say, the public response has been to go out and download her records, and to records, buy her records and to show that. And knew how to download and if i knew how to download it because of course, i dont, ill you. I would download ill show you. I would download it eight support for it. Eight out of support for rashid. Weve got to read out the boring the bbcs incredibly boring statement says the artist statement which says the artist collection from our archive is regularly rotation regularly on rotation and frequently reflect frequently changed to reflect station they station wide initiatives. They get yawn little simz get confirmed. Yawn little simz was rescheduled reflect six was rescheduled to reflect six musics with words program, musics way with words program, which celebrates poetry, and which celebrates poetry, rap and spoken is and the spoken word and is and the following tying with following week tying in with National Turner and National Poetry bev turner and i cant it. Cant bear it. There was no other reason for the change. So sean murphy has been six music been played on six music recently her artist recently and her artist collection in rotation collection remains in rotation and they say and fascinatingly they dont say we support speech and we we support free speech and we would thats what would support. Thats what the bbc to say. Would support. Thats what the bb thats to say. Would support. Thats what the bb thats the say. Would support. Thats what the bbithats the bbc would support.

It would you would be enraged , wouldnt you, would be enraged, wouldnt you, if of your if you found out one of your daughters was a boy school daughters was a boy at school and the and the teacher hadnt told you. It sounds ridiculous when you say it like that, because i kind of think id know, but. But i think you know what . Tell their parents. My eldest daughter is 14, so the other one is 12. But i think once theyre little i think once theyre a little older, youre 15, 16 and older, once youre 15, 16 and theyre school, theres theyre at school, theres absolute possibility that absolute every possibility that once to school, they once they get to school, they could having a different could be having a different identity when theyre at identity and when theyre at home.

Former special branch but a former special Branch Officer who shot dead an ira terrorist in 1991 argues his life been ruined by the life has been ruined by the continuing and relentless inquiry, have found inquiry, which have never found him guilty of murder. He has spoken exclusively and he has spoken exclusively to on Northern Ireland. To gb news on Northern Ireland. Reporter Dougie Beattie has this report. Report. Oh, name is officer b. I oh, my name is officer b. I joined the royal ulster constabulary in the late 70s and i served in various stations around the border and west belfast before joining what was called e4, which was a surveillance unit, was part of special Branch Special operations branch. So i was a covert surveillance operator for almost 11 years. I was going out to do an operation, a Counter Terrorism operation against a man called colin marks. I wasnt privy to the full amount of intelligence or who the source was. That wasnt for us. That was way above our pay scale. But the information was scale. But the information was which came from a source within the ira that he was to going come to the Playing Field to the rear of Saint Patricks avenue. That night, carrying a mark 12 mortar, and then fire it into a armoured. Police are army landrover, which was passing by colin marks brought this mortar to the driveway of a house on Saint Patricks avenue where he set it up to fire it against a Security Force vehicle. So total Security Force vehicle. So total and utter disregard for human life. And so thats what i was facing that night when i took up a position in a hedgerow on Saint Patricks avenue to cover a Playing Field whenever the issue came to arrest him and he bolted out through the hedge and into the field towards me. The into the field towards me. The republicans have often said , oh, republicans have often said, oh, well, he wasnt armed. He was armed. He was armed with a mark 12 mortar. Yes. He didnt have them on him that day. But most times when terrorists were doing things like that, they carried additional firearms on them. And when you are involved in a shooting, you have literally you dont even have a second to make a decision. He kept running towards me. I dropped the back of the weapon down. So it meant that the rounds would go over the top of his head. A fire, two warning shots and he just kept coming. And he was closing the distance and a five fired five further round, three of which had him one hit him in the hand , one hit him in the side of the year on accident, the back of his neck, but actually never penetrated his skull. And the fatal round went through his abdomen. I went through four abdomen. I went through four investigations. First of all, a kid investigation. Then that kid investigation. Then that file was passed with no recommendation of conviction. Recommendation of conviction. The dpp , the public prosecution, the dpp, the public prosecution, they found that there was no case grade with the police. Then case grade with the police. Then i was then interviewed by what was called complaints and discipline , which is like pony. Discipline, which is like pony. The ombudsman nowadays. They find no wrongdoing and what i did that night then at the inquest, so it was justifiable killing that night she roll on 25 years the Police Ombudsman, Northern Ireland then decided that they were going to investigate even it was exactly the same that was said 25 years ago. And most of my anger is ago. And most of my anger is against the Police Ombudsman because is for seven years on one month until the pps said there was no case. Ive been under this cloud for seven years and one month and its not pleasant. I live in fear for my pleasant. I live in fear for my life because during that period of time , Police Ombudsman and of time, Police Ombudsman and for me and the police that all my details had been given to the solicitors practise as representing the family. A representing the family. A dossier of information that had my picture , that had my name , my picture, that had my name, they had my mobile phone number, they had my mobile phone number, they had my address, they had my company name. And where i worked. So ive gone through all my details being leaked to a solicitors practise and within that solicitors practise individual keeps referring to me as a murderer. He did it recently on a news program or a media programme. He also, in a bio for the website for himself he refers to the ruc murder of colin marks in april 1991. Now thats completely contrary to what the cps decided , and what the cps decided, and because the cps decided that in may of this year that there was no fresh evidence. But then no fresh evidence. But then immediately after words, the solicitors practise working for the family are challenging the cps decision. So is it a case of cps decision. So is it a case of theyll not be happy till they get what they want or do they want the truth . And april of want the truth . And april of this year that was seven years under invest instigation reinvestigation of me. Its now reinvestigation of me. Its now in the september and im now facing. My sixth and first facing. My sixth and first occasion. If thats not vindictive or anxious, i dont understand. But i can tell you understand. But i can tell you now and i look in the eyes and say, i did not go out that night to kill anybody. To kill anybody. Right. Youve been getting in touch this morning. Vaiews gbnews.

Some heavy bursts over welsh mountains to the over the welsh mountains to the south this were seeing quite south of this were seeing quite a good deal of sunshine and with that i mentioned, that warm air i mentioned, temperatures a little bit above average for time of year, average for the time of year, perhaps touch than perhaps a touch higher than yesterday. Around 24 or 25 yesterday. Highs around 24 or 25 celsius cooler. Further north and still with the risk of and windy still with the risk of some coastal gales and 1 or 2 showers dotted around parts of scotland Northern Ireland. Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Proud sponsors of weather on sunday mornings from 930 on. Gb news. Its good morning again. Its 1023. Youre with britains newsroom on gb news with Andrew Pearson bev turner. So the home secretary said that she has commissioned urgent advice about banning the american following american bully dogs following the footage of an the brutal cctv footage of an 11 year old attacked. Year old being attacked. But the dog trust says banning all american bully xl breeds unfair would breeds is unfair and would punish, so punish, well behaved pets. So are being too harsh . Are we being too harsh . With us to discuss this is dog john gardner at and dog trainer john gardner at and dog behaviourist Stan Rawlinson. Good morning, gentlemen. Thank you so much forjoining us. Let me come to you first, john. Is this an emotional reaction now . Because this this footage is so shocking and you think do you think we should be a bit more measured before taking such Decisive Action . Good morning. I think the good morning. I think the emotional reaction is entirely normal. Its a human reaction. Normal. Its a human reaction. And my concern is that weve beenin and my concern is that weve been in this situation before with pit bulls in the 1980s and, you know, they were banned and were back in that situation now. So i do think that whilst we need to we need to introduce some serious measures to reduce this or eradicate this type of attack. Um, you know, it does attack. Um, you know, it does need to be measured and balanced against it, some kind of wider policy with not all dog breeds but but certainly powerful dog breeds. Lets get Stan Rawlinson. And stan, you wrote a really good piece in the mail this week. And you make the point because a lot of people say its not about bad dogs. Its about bad owners. But your point is this. These can be very bad dogs. Very bad dogs. Absolutely , andrew. I mean, absolutely, andrew. I mean, we are talking that the dogs are actually weapon grade. Um theyre a fraction of the overall Dog Population , but that overall Dog Population, but that that small amount is responsible for 75 of all the deaths over the last three years. And thats just not acceptable. However there and now ive called for changes in the law and we do need them. However ive actually created or sat down and thought what should be brought in and it shouldnt be just on the dog. There should be a long response ability on the owners and i do believe the owners have got to believe the owners have got to be licenced and the dogs have got to be licenced. And if the owners are licenced, theyve got to be some very strict requirements. Minimum age of 18, for instance , proof of identity for instance, proof of identity , proof of having no criminal records as proof of not being mentally ill or physically incapable of holding these big dogs. Incapable of holding these big dogs. Im not talking about dogs. Im not talking about every dog. Im talking about the every dog. Im talking about the dogs that weve got listed down that have killed many, many people over the last few years. And weve got to really change things. It must be an insurance contract taken out for that dog for a minimum of £100,000. So if someone is injured, im not insured. Ive got no money. Yeah proof of proof of identification and microchip for these dogs. Every one of these dogs should be on a short lead. And they also should be muzzled in public and any handlers or dog walkers who walk them should also know fall in touch with that particular situation. And i want a massive change to the law. Its got to be done. So theres two aspects of it. If we are going to say to just the owners , but at least its going to take the owners in, but its also going to take into consideration the dogs. So dogs consideration the dogs. So dogs with strong blocky heads, muscly large mouths really, really, really fighting dogs. And these a genetic de man. John yeah, yeah, absolutely. John yeah, yeah, absolutely. Stan i dont disagree with any of that. I think thats really sensible. But john, how about you . I think those sound you . Because i think those sound like measures. Like really sensible measures. And is that and what im thinking is that amount of hassle would therefore become a deterrent to some lazy thug wants to use a dog thug who just wants to use a dog as a gun. As a gun. So yeah, absolutely. I agree so yeah, absolutely. I agree with, with with pretty much everything stan has said. And everything stan has said. And its these are ideas that were sharing around my own peer group , i think drastic changes are needed across the board. I think needed across the board. I think its important to remember, though, that you know, this isnt just big dogs and look, big dogs do a lot of damage. But i think if were going to make change, then it needs to be across the board and it needs to recognise that , um, you know, it recognise that, um, you know, it isnt always big breeds of dogs that are biting. We need to look at the statistics of what dogs are biting. You know, we train are biting. You know, we train 98 of the dogs. We train are reactive , aggressive dogs. Of reactive, aggressive dogs. Of that 98 and a vast majority are small dogs. Now, a small dog biting you or i hurts. Trust me. Biting you or i hurts. Trust me. Um, but its not going to cause the damage that a bully type. John, a lot of people , john, john, a lot of people, john, a lot of people watching and listening will say theyve theyve seen these videos of these frankenstein dogs just ban them, just ban them, get rid of them, just ban them, get rid of them because theyre because they can theyve killed so many people me that 16 is an it shocks me that 16 is an age that you can go out and buy age that you can go out and buy a dog. Um it shocks me that , you a dog. Um it shocks me that, you know, without any experience you can go and get these dogs. But all of this is happening. Um outside of licenced breeders. You know, these dogs are being sold by word of mouth, etcetera. The other thing that is that p0ps. The other thing that is that pops to mind with this, you know, because i train dogs that are on court orders , these dogs are on court orders, these dogs will come to us on a court order saying that they have to wear a muzzle , which, you know, thats muzzle, which, you know, thats absolutely a responsible thing to do. But theres nothing governing what muzzle the dog wears. So you know, in compliance with the court order, you can go to pets at home and get a plastic £5. 99 muzzle that is, you know, no use to anyone. And ive actually seen a dog on a court order, a big dog, and the muzzle was basically a whole tin for those of those that dont know what that is, its basically a lead that wraps over the mouth. It doesnt shut the mouth or protect anyone. So just you know, i agree with stan that there needs to be a massive discussion and a big change in how we look at dogs and how we categorise. John, what sorry to interrupt, but whats situation would dog to have got would a dog have to have got into to have a court order against it . Okay so again, i think this is where, um. Oh, sorry , sorry. Maybe. Oh, sorry, sorry. Maybe. Stan. Stan, do you know what . Stan. Stan, do you know what . Stan lets bring you in. What situation would a dog have to be in have a court order . And in to have a court order . And why havent why hasnt that dog just been put down . Reason it doesnt always the reason it doesnt always mean or mean that its killed someone or killed a dog, but its been dangerously control. The dangerously out of control. The pubuc dangerously out of control. The Public Private place. The public or a private place. The law changed 2014. Again at law changed in 2014. Again at one time it was only dangerous , one time it was only dangerous, out of control in a public place. But then, of course, they found most of the people getting killed were getting killed in their own homes. The bullies are perfect one, its killed a lot of their owners, a lot of the people. Theres three trainers in the last two years, people are professional handlers. One of them one of the guys , a very, of them one of the guys, a very, very sadly , he was very sadly, he was a rehabilitator of dogs. Very sadly, he was a rehabilitator of dogs. His very sadly, he was a rehabilitator of dogs. His wife rehabilitator of dogs. His wife had died a year before from cancen had died a year before from cancer. He had six children and he spell bully and knocked him, killed him within seconds. This killed him within seconds. This guy was a really experienced trainer. So if experienced people are getting killed, what is the general public going to do . Absolutely. Thank you, absolutely. Thank you, gentlemen. Dog trainer, john gardner, dog behaviourist , stan gardner, dog behaviourist, Stan Rawlinson there. Thank you so rawlinson there. Thank you so much. Wow. What we dont want to do, though, is the government rushing in and doing dodgy legislation like they did with the dangerous dogs back in 1999. And they got it horribly wrong. Great suggestions there, i think. Very good managing. I like the idea about the £100,000 i like the idea about the £10i ,ooo i like the idea about the £10i d0, i like the idea about the £101 do, because of course, if i do, because of course, if you if you are injured by a dog in way, you have in that way, you will have a loss of earnings. Yeah, you will not be able go to work. Not be able to go to work. Sometimes will never able sometimes you will never be able to again. To work again. You might need plastic surgery. Absolutely. So anyway, im glad were this glad were having this conversation. I think it needs more awareness right. Still to come, matt hancock, remember him, to push his him, said he wants to push his limits, does just limits, but does it just make you push him a you want to push him off a cliff . It does. Me.

This is britains from three on gb news choose. From three on gb news choose. Its 1039. I was slightly ahead of the game for a change. This britains newsroom on gb news Andrew Beresford does that noise you can hear the background of course is karen malone waiting . Not even not waiting to be introduced when starts introduced when she starts rattling. Laugh this. Rattling. Carole laugh this. Rattling. Carole malone, this. Rattling. Carole malone, karen malone , Carole Malone, karen malone, sam lipsyte delay. A lot the time, want to a lot of the time, we want to talk you too, about sir keir talk to you too, about sir keir starmer. Starmer. What a gift for the tories. What a gift for the tories. Surely theyre not going to blow this one. But you know, the just this week, the National Crime agency made absolutely , made it absolutely, categorically that that categorically clear that that starmers policy of trying to smash the gangs was not going to work because they made the point that all you need to be a trafficker is a dinghy and a phone. And they said, so you smash one lot and another lot p0ps smash one lot and another lot pops up. So they are saying that theyre saying current theyre saying all the current deterrents will not work. So what starmers new policy what does starmers new policy include . That include . All of the things that the agency, which the National Crime agency, which is the equivalent of our fbi, say arent to work, but he say arent going to work, but he thinks thinks that by having thinks he thinks that by having a meeting, a meeting with , well, a meeting, a meeting with, well, lets say what he wants to do first, what hes going to do is hes going to let in. He wants to let in a of the asylum to let in a lot of the Asylum Seekers. Thats right. That seekers. Thats right. That that go and greece from asia go to italy and greece from asia and yeah he wants to let and africa. Yeah he wants to let them through to us. Yeah. In the naive stupid belief that that that france will allow to that france will allow us to send back some of the small boats that are right now the joke is that we are now paying france £500 million to do exactly that. And theyre not doing it. So i dont know why starmer thinks theyre going to doing it. So i dont know why ste because 1ks theyre going to doing it. So i dont know why ste because he theyre going to doing it. So i dont know why ste because he says� re going to doing it. So i dont know why ste because he says so. ]oing to doing it. So i dont know why ste because he says so. But; to doing it. So i dont know why ste because he says so. But this do because he says so. But this is basically, you know, immigration by the back door. Hes open borders by the back doonl hes open borders by the back door, i should say. Hes going to going open all the to hes going to open all the borders. France are not going to take any back. So were going to borders. France are not going to takgetting ack. So were going to borders. France are not going to takgetting the so were going to borders. France are not going to takgetting the ones ere going to borders. France are not going to takgetting the ones that going to borders. France are not going to takgetting the ones that italy to be getting the ones that italy and greece dont want from asia and greece dont want from asia and and were going to and africa. And were going to be the small boats. Be getting the small boats. Yeah. Is going hugely yeah. Which is going to hugely increase. And its called burden sharing. Sharing. W sharing. Thats what hes well, yes, thats what hes calling share. Calling it. Burden share. In other were to take other words, were going to take a lot more here. Were going to take a lot more. We cant afford what weve got we got the facilities. Well, theres no room. Well, theres no room. No room. You know, theres no room. You know, were island and theres were an island and theres room. But what isnt room. But what there isnt is the infrastructure. Theres not the infrastructure. Theres not the after the Housing Research after research, sam that the research, sam shows that the british people really british people feel really strongly government strongly about a government getting this situation. Would he come and do why would he come out and do this does he think its this now . Does he think its going to win him votes . I it shows that he is i think it shows that he is increasingly confident thats what i think. Thinks hes the bag already. Yeah, he can be a bit bolder. Yeah, he can be a bit bolder. Yeah. Yeah. Obviously weve seen him being over the last being so cautious over the last few and is the first few years and this is the first time hes actually really kind of where his mouth of put his money where his mouth is. I think, know, its is. But i think, you know, its fundamentally as a policy fundamentally flawed as a policy because protect because the eu does not protect its borders. Yes. And the its own borders. Yes. And the fact in italy, fact that in italy, particularly, they are struggling are getting struggling and they are getting no from the eu as an no support from the eu as an institution tackle this institution to tackle this problem they feel like, problem and they feel like, you know, hundreds thousands of know, hundreds of thousands of migrants are going to illegally cross and cross into italy this year. And obviously that becomes obviously then that becomes a knock impact for us because knock on impact for us because they travel across and come over on small boats. The fact that on small boats. So the fact that he prepared to on the he is prepared to rely on the eu, which is already failing his own which is own members, i know, which is astonishing, left. Astonishing, which weve left. Yeah. Which weve. And there was other day, was a poll the other day, malone, said two thirds of malone, it said two thirds of the country stand the the country cant stand the governments migration governments policy on migration. Lost control of our. Weve lost control of our borders. Work out why. Borders. I cant work out why. Its only thirds. I cant its only two thirds. I cant understand why its not. 99 of the country think theyve lost control this. But there was control of this. But there was just a part that poll showed just a part of that poll showed people the left very people on the left are very unhappy about immigration unhappy about our immigration policy. Us look like policy. It makes us look like were intolerant country. Were an intolerant country. Yeah, of course. Of course. Which is rubbish. But what sam just and its and just said there and its and its absolutely true about the star confident is macron is star was confident is macron is also confident that hes going to next leader of this to be the next leader of this country because know country because you know historically dont invite historically they dont invite a deputy, you know, the leader of the over to have the opposition over to have discussions about the future of the country. So theyre in doing that. Thats macron saying. But, you know, macron, you know, starmer a fool if he believes starmer is a fool if he believes anything macron says about immigration, a fool. If he immigration, hes a fool. If he believes can achieve what the believes he can achieve what the likes of, you know , suella and likes of, you know, suella and pretty and rishi could not, you know, macron sees him as a soft touch. And this is a way to get britain more involved with. They miss our money. They want us back in some which way were going to be flooded. We are not just. But i worry about the other arrangements that that will involve us as well, not just immigration. The other stuff that that we lost when we left because of brexit. I think this is a slow walk back. You know, you i mean, look, when keir starmer was famously asked in that interview, do you prefer westminster . Where do you prefer to be westminster or davos . He said, davos because hes is even davos because hes he he is even more a globalist, more of a globalist, a borderless world. Hes one borderless world. Hes a one planet, one population, one government kind of guy. And thats hes us. Thats what hes told us. Very, very comment. Very, very odd comment. I dont what he was thinking dont know what he was thinking there because, you know, ultimately people want their leaders to be focussed on domestic they want domestic policies. They want them focussed what them to be focussed on what people want. People in the country want. But i think youve but what but i think youve put finger it, sam. Put your finger on it, sam. There are 20 points ahead in the polls. He thinks now theyre home can once home and dry, so he can once tell one policy that hes tell us one policy that hes actually got, is a gift actually got, which is a gift for tories and the red wall for the tories and the red wall and the remain and the remain. Audience remain audience yeah. The remain voters actually, the tories really have use this now to really have to use this now to capitalise really have to use this now to capbut se really have to use this now to capbut will really have to use this now to cap but will they. But will they. But will they. They havent. But will they. They havent. But will they. The thing is, thats the but the thing is, thats the thing. Why arent they all over the radio and tv attacking it . Radio and tv today attacking it . Know every win every every radio and tv today attacking it . Know every win every every radio and tv today attacking it . Know own ry win every every radio and tv today attacking it . Know own goal� i every every radio and tv today attacking it .

And this ball. They dont do it. And this is weakness. Ball. They dont do it. And this is weve neakness. Ball. They dont do it. And this is weve got weve got a source quoted in the mail. Why isnt the Tory Party Chairman banging on about this morning, noon and night . Rishi sunaks out and about today. So hes bound to be asked about im sure will have about and im sure he will have quite line. Quite a punchy line. Well, he agrees. I mean, fundamentally, i think he agrees with think in with keir starmer. I think in his also thinks thats his heart he also thinks thats okay. Thats why he doesnt come out swinging morning out swinging on a morning like this. Sure m m that. Because sure about that. Because i think actually rishi is think actually rishi sunak is far wing than people far more right wing than people really hes more really appreciate. Hes far more right than Boris Johnson right wing than Boris Johnson ever was, and actually is ever was, and he actually is quite, know, know, so quite, you know, you know, so why it why is it so who why doesnt it why is it so who is he trying to appease . Who is trying to why is he who is he trying to why is he not being himself on the on not being himself then on the on on national stage, i think on the national stage, i think you will see him be quite bold. Interesting. Well, thats interesting. Well, thats interesting. About him being but you talk about him being right wing. I was at a do at downing street last week on thursday afternoon was thursday afternoon and it was mrs. Talked about mrs. Thatcher was talked about much. A private much. It was a private university, Buckingham University and Oliver Letwin whos oliver whos not Oliver Letwin, oliver dowden, prime dowden, the deputy Prime Minister, of course dowden, the deputy prime minissunak of course dowden, the deputy prime minissunak is of course dowden, the deputy prime minissunak is a of course dowden, the deputy prime minissunak is a true course rishi sunak is a true thatcherite. I nearly i heard people spluttering, i heard glasses dropping people fainting with nobody he with shock because nobody he agrees. Yeah, of course they dont. We dont see any of that, do we . Is he Margaret Thatcher . No hes not. Hes very socially conservative. I mean. Well, he says hes publicly hes economically conservative, but we actually see we dont actually see any evidence that as he keeps the evidence of that as he keeps the social conservative. The case. Thats the case. Thats the case. Hes secretly as he keeps taxing us and taxing us. And by the way, oliver, down there is going on about cancel culture and government is and the tory government is standing up. And to him afterwards, and i said to him afterwards, youre not youre not doing anything youre not youre not doing any itsig youre not youre not doing any its not being being its not being so being conservative. Its popular conservative. Its not popular on stage at the on the global stage at the moment. That was the day moment. Thats that was the day to trudeau. That was the day to see trudeau. That was the day in reported in your paper youd reported that abandoning plans to that he was abandoning plans to give schools proper clear advice on what to with trans kids. On what to do with trans kids. Really, theyve got i mean, really, theyve got to that out because that is to sort that out because that is a very, very important issue. And just the front and it is just on the front pages again. Right. Lets talk about right. Sam, lets talk about pensioners being betrayed by the risk to the triple lock and securing the value of the pension. The express been pension. The express have been big your newspaper big on this. Your newspaper by line on the front page of your newspapers. Ive noticed. Ive noticed. You try to time sam lister you try to time it. You didnt even bring it in to show us. Ive it somewhere. Yeah ive got it somewhere. Yeah its lets. Lets hold its in fact, lets. Lets hold its in fact, lets. Lets hold it there we are. So, i mean, it up. There we are. So, i mean, this its shame because, this is. Its a shame because, you had to relaunch you know, weve had to relaunch this campaign. We did this campaign year. And one of Campaign Last year. And one of eventually had to eventually jeremy hunt had to kind of back down the autumn kind of back down in the autumn statement confirmed the statement that confirmed the triple go ahead. Triple lock would go ahead. And i actually believe wed i didnt actually believe wed be yeah be back here again this year. Yeah, in the yeah, again. But were in the same position. I just think same position. And i just think fundamentally the Prime Minister and the chancellor dont seem to understand triple lock means lock. And the triple lock means that you dont have these discussions. It happens automatically. The fact discussions. It happens auto theyrely. The fact discussions. It happens auto theyre saying the fact discussions. It happens auto theyre saying decisions that theyre saying no decisions have or no decision have to be taken or no decision has to be taken, the triple lock means no decision has to be taken. So had relaunch taken. So weve had to relaunch this huge issue this campaign. Its a huge issue for readers. I think its for our readers. I think its the number one issue our the number one issue for our readers and we will always fight for readers this. But for our readers on this. But i think, you know, they theyre definitely trying to water it down. Going to say, we saw i was going to say, we saw this a leak from the this week a leak from the treasury that they might remove from triple public from the triple lock Public Sector as which would sector bonuses as which would cut mean pensioners would get £74 of £74 less. Thats the start of salami slicing it. Yeah, but do you know what really upsets me . They talk when they triple lock they talk about the triple lock and much its going to and how much money its going to cost country. They talk cost the country. They talk about that theyre giving pensioners charity. They are not. These are people whove paid into the system all of their right. And so, you their lives. Right. And so, you know, mp that i say know, i heard an mp that i say they got 3. 5 rise last year. So what the train drivers are just getting 9 pay rise. Why shouldnt the pensioners , you shouldnt the pensioners, you know, theyre on a grand know, and theyre on a 68 grand salary, you know the pension fund single the sum of nearly 2 Million People who have nothing but the state pension and our pension is not particularly generous compared to other countries. A month. Yeah. Countries. £700 a month. Yeah. Take tax off that. Its £500 take the tax off that. Its £500 a month. Could any of us survive on £500 . That wouldnt cover your makeup bill for a month. Your makeup bill for a month. Wouldnt cover hair dye. Wouldnt cover your hair dye. Thats it. But but just but i just think, you know, this is a betrayal pensioners. And i betrayal of pensioners. And i just you deserve that. So did you. So did you. So did you. But its just a betrayal of the most vulnerable in our society. You know whats going society. You know whats going to happen this winter when you know not as much know theres not as much government help for heating and all yeah. All the stuff . Yeah, yeah. Whats happen then . You whats going to happen then . You know, the £500 a month and its all politics. Well, maybe, also well, maybe, but also politically it politically it is insanity. It is insanity. Is insanity. And i honestly, yesterday, me and some my colleagues down and some of my colleagues down the corridor in westminster on all newspapers we were all the newspapers we were trying work, what the trying to work, what is the strategy . Yeah. Because we strategy . Yeah. Yeah. Because we cannot work it out. Im sure theres some clever people cannot work it out. Im sure thithereiome clever people cannot work it out. Im sure th conservative party. People over age who people over the age of 60 who are impacted by the are going to be impacted by the triple lock. They feel all the time like this is a betrayal. Dont this is a betrayal. And i dont think any for the think theres any win for the government on this, because once you honour the triple you once you honour the triple lock, theyre going to lock, i mean, theyre going to have to honour the triple lock with tough out there for its tough out there for pensioners at the moment is we talk the rise of tech. Talk about the rise of tech. I mean struggle dont mean you even struggle dont you, your with your you, with your with your phone struggle your clue. Struggle and your clue. Ive talked about downloading some never some music. Ive never downloaded my life. Downloaded music in my life. I dont how to do it. Dont know how to do it. I want to go and buy a buy a single, didnt you . I did buy an lp. Dont they exist still . You know, life is tough at the moment for those who were getting a bit even older than getting on a bit even older than you. Theyre you. Andrew and so theyre already and if you already feeling it. And if you Start Talking about it, its just just cruelty. You just cruel, just cruelty. You have minister who pays have a Prime Minister who pays £300 for coffee cup and no £300 for a coffee cup and no pair shoes hes talking pair of shoes and hes talking about cutting pensioners month. Yeah, its a terrible look. Yeah, its a terrible look. We talk about harry yeah. Can we talk about harry and meghan . Believe and meghan . I cant believe weve got the end of this weve got to the end of this week with the Invictus Games going you havent groaned yet. Im going to grow now. Shes there and shes trying to upstage him. Course. Prepare upstage him. Of course. Prepare yourself. The stage upstage him. Of course. Prepare yourrhim. The stage upstage him. Of course. Prepare yourrhim. What the stage upstage him. Of course.

Quite my reading. She did that. Thats exactly what she did. I came this morning. I looked at the little podcasting thing you did yesterday, started off yesterday, and it started off with, just say it, i dont with, ill just say it, i dont like actually said, like meghan actually said, i cant stand her. Said, i cant stand her. I said, i cant stand her. Well, to be honest, well, ive got to be honest, just case people thought just in case people thought i might be neutral or sitting on the fence. Meghan markle no ambiguity on Meghan Markle no ambiguity on this. G shes a e shes a menace. Andrew no, shes a menace. But prince harry sam but look, prince harry sam invictus what he does Invictus Games is what he does well, what he should well, this is what he should always focussed on. Always have been focussed on. What amazing event. These what an amazing event. These people awesome. In this people are awesome. In this event. think its a yeah, and i think its a shame that soap opera around shame that the soap opera around those taking away from those two is taking away from the stuff that is the great stuff that is happening games. Happening at the Invictus Games. And always the shame, and thats always the shame, isnt that the this isnt it, that the this overshadows everything do overshadows everything and do you not think yesterday though, when was with her. When he was with her. I have not seen him look that confident that ebullient for a very long time. The first time shes been with for a very shes been with him for a very long time. And im like, yo, piers, have a lot of piers, i dont have a lot of time for her, but he was hes got no time for time. But he got no time for no time. But he was different guy yesterday. Was a different guy yesterday. And thought it was and i just thought it was interesting. But, know, interesting. But, you know, a lot the people in lot of the people involved in the are saying his the games are saying his involvement be proving involvement could be proving difficult because difficult for them because because involved, the because of hes involved, the rest of the royals are not. And they historically need that. That that. They were saying that theres been chatter from theres been more chatter from theres been more chatter from the royals about the the other royals about the highland this year than highland games this year than the Invictus Games. Thats a very good point, actually. And it hasnt had much pubuchy and it hasnt had much publicity the normally. Publicity in the way normally. Well, time well, as you said, first time weve about it this week, weve talked about it this week, i know normally youd expect and of last year when she of course, last year when she was there, talked about my was there, she talked about my husband. That was there, she talked about my huslyear. That was there, she talked about my huslyear. She that was there, she talked about my huslyear. She talked that was there, she talked about my huslyear. She talked aboutat this year. She talked about herself good at that. Of course. But, you know, i mean, although i dont like it, im thinking between rock and im thinking between a rock and a no, a rock and a hard place because she did bring hollywood to is no question and to it. There is no question and would the coverage would not have got the coverage it today had it not been for it got today had it not been for her. And im like, you know, her reasons it. However reasons for doing it. However it gave the publicity it gave the game the publicity it should have. So, they dont like a so, yeah, they dont like a marriage in trouble, though, sam, do they . Been the sam, do they . Thats been the rumour the rumour that theyre on the rocks. Dont look like it. Rocks. They dont look like it. And as carole said, its almost like his oxygen, like he like shes his oxygen, like he comes little bit more comes to life a little bit more when shes around. He appears from when shes around. He appears frorim no psychologist to be im no psychologist to be a man needs a strong woman in man who needs a strong woman in his life. I think he does seem to cling to a strong woman. But, his life. I think he does seem to c know, a strong woman. But, his life. I think he does seem to c know, you rong woman. But, his life. I think he does seem to c know, you have woman. But, his life. I think he does seem to c know, you have to man. But, his life.

The Prime Minister is out and about today and hes speaking about today and hes speaking about his nhs winter plan. Hes at north devon district hospital. This is what he had to say. Prime minister, where is this £200 million coming from . And what will it do to bring down what will it do to bring down what we now know are record high waiting lists . Well, winter is always a challenging time for the nhs and this year weve started planning for earlier than ever for winter. Earlier than ever before. Today were announcing £200 million, which will go to the nhs to help build extra capacity and resilience this capacity and resilience for this winter season , making sure that winter season, making sure that patients the care that patients can get the care that they but also ensure that they need, but also ensure that we can continue to protect planned elective care. Because thats important too. And this comes as part our record comes as part of our record funding for the nhs. Funding increase for the nhs. Earlier this year we also announced the long term workforce plan making sure that for first time we train more for the first time we train more doctors and nurses and dentists here in the uk, but also the work were doing to improve nhs performance , which the results performance, which the results today delivering for today show is delivering for patients big improvements patients with big improvements in ambulance times and a e times since the winter. Since the winter. Now you held a Health Leader summit in downing street yesterday, but the Royal College of nursing say they werent ianed. Of nursing say they werent invited. Do you not think they invited. Do you not think they had anything to add to the discussion . No, we spoke to a range of different stakeholders in the nhs, obviously is in touch with all of its stakeholders all the time. Had productive time. We had a very productive discussion actually, and there was alignment and was enormous alignment and consensus around what is required to deliver for the nhs this winter and the plans that weve put in place earlier this year are working. We took the time review them. Were time to review them. Were rolling 5000 more beds rolling out 5000 more beds across the nhs. Thats on track, rolling out more ambulances rolling out 800 more ambulances and on track and were and thats on track and were rolling out virtual wards, which are innovations that doctors are new innovations that doctors have created that allow patients to at home with to be treated at home with technology , getting them home technology, getting them home quicker, capacity in quicker, freeing up capacity in hospitals, those things are hospitals, all those things are really delivering for patients. And thats why in emergency medicine weve seen big improvements in ambulance waiting times from december when i think everyone will remember how challenging it was. Also how challenging it was. But also a e performance , making sure a e performance, making sure patients as quickly as patients are seen as quickly as possible. So the plan is working. The meeting working. And the meeting yesterday just for us to get yesterday was just for us to get together and make sure were focussed on the right things for this winter. Standing a brand now were standing in a brand new discharge now, some new discharge hub now, but some other arent lucky. Other hospitals arent so lucky. Why block plans to why did you block plans to rebuild five hospitals affected by crumbling concrete . Three years ago, the Health Department requested you rebuild seven and you only approved two. Thats. Thats not right. The nhs has been looking at the issue of racks in 20 1918 and was funded with almost £700 million to mitigate rack that it was finding in hospitals. Now there are now seven hospitals that are in the new Hospital Programme as new evidence came to light about the scale of rack, it was important to prioritise those hospitals. We made that decision earlier this year and on top of that, other hospitals are being mitigated in line with technical guidance line with the technical guidance and said, backed by almost and as i said, backed by almost £700 million, which was announced years ago, we announced years ago, because we do this issue very do take this issue very seriously and across the Public Sector, all departments are rightly surveying their estate and mitigating any rack in line with technical guidance and backed with significant funding. In case the nhs. In the case of the nhs. Now on to what your opposite number to. You may have number is up to. You may have noficed number is up to. You may have noticed the hague noticed hes off in the hague today attacking for what he today attacking you for what he describes as empty rhetoric over small boats. What do you make of his plans . Well, keir starmer spent all of this year voting against our stop the boats bill. The toughest legislation that any government has passed tackle government has passed to tackle illegal migration. I think he spent last year voting spent most of last year voting against previous which against a previous bill, which has to almost 700 has since then led to almost 700 arrests related to organised immigration crime. So i dont think its credible that he really wants to grip this problem and his plans today seem to to saying that we to amount to saying that we might one day accept 100,000 eu migrants every year. That doesnt seem like a credible plan to me to stop the boats. Plan to me to stop the boats. Meanwhile, we are getting on and delivering. For the first time delivering. For the First Time Ever this year, the number of small boat arrivals is down by almost a fifth. The number of Illegal Migrants crossing from albania is down by 90. Weve got a plan. The plan is delivering and determine ed to stop the and im determine ed to stop the boats. Boats. Rishi sunak there. Hes in a hospital. Well, we know hes in hospital. Hes always tucks his tie in as though hes about to conduct open heart surgery. It makes no sense. But this £200 million have announced for the nhs. The nhs budget is an eye watering £182 billion every yean eye watering £182 billion every year, so 200 million, its not even a drop in the ocean. Even a drop in the ocean. Theres nothing convincing about him. Andrew when hes talking, i just all i hear is this word stakeholder. If you ever hear stakeholders that tells you something and i just i find everything he says, like hes just so rehearsed. Theres nothing from the heart. Hes so robotic and he could have been so much more emphatic about rishi, the labour leaders rishi, about the labour leaders insane plan to do what they call burden sharing with the eu. So migrants who come into italy and france, we will agree so migrants who come into which weve worked out would probably last year, have been an extra one, 100,000. Thats another small town. Thank you very much. Labour leader jeremy. Whats his name, sir . Whats his name, sir . Sir keir starmer , doing deals sir keir starmer, doing deals with his mates in the eu again. But you feel like rishi sunak kind of agrees with him . Kind of agrees with him . Well, hes going to be in power backside is what it feels like. Ive heard that phrase before. Now lets talk about a story which you and i do agree. If this is happening, jeremy hunt and the Prime Minister are discussing scrapping the second stage of hs2, rail project, stage of hs2, the rail project, because costs are spiral rolling. Thats right. The estimate the cost estimate reveals the government has already spent £2. 3 billion on stage two alone. But shave shelving this northern phase would save up to 34 billion, so theyve only wasted well, 2. 4 on that stage alone. Well, 2. 4 on that stage alone. Sir Michael Fabricant is tory mp and an outspoken critic of hs2 and he challenged rishi sunak about the project at Prime Ministers questions yesterday and he joins us now. Ministers questions yesterday and he joins us now. Michael, and he joins us now. Michael, morning. You must be rather pleased you got stuck into the Prime Minister yesterday at pmqs. Very well done and it seems now that this second stage some would argue the most important stage actually between birmingham and manchester is going to be kiboshed. Going to be kiboshed. Well, i dont know that by the way. I always speak from the heart and i hope youll agree with that. And i hope i sound convincing. But you do. It convincing. But you do. It certainly is. You do. Thank you, certainly is. You do. Thank you, bev. Yes. I mean, its fascinating , isnt it . I bev. Yes. I mean, its fascinating, isnt it . I mean, we i rose in parliament to talk about how dysfunctional hs2 limited is as a company. About how dysfunctional hs2 limited is as a company. Weve limited is as a company. Weve got road closures, footpath closures, people trespassing over private land who are hs2 operatives. Nobody seems to know operatives. Nobody seems to know how long the roads are going to be closed for. How long the roads are going to be closed for. The left hand be closed for. The left hand never seems to know what the right hand is doing. But my right hand is doing. But my point was , i actually you know , point was, i actually you know, why not stop it now after phase one . Actually, i would dearly love to see the whole ruddy thing closed, but i dont think thats going to happen. And it would make sense in a way actually, because you could have high speed trains running down from manchester. And then if you complete at phase one, at phase one in my constituency, it actually links from the west coast main line, the regular line all the way across to hs2 too. So you could have trains running from manchester, albeit not at very high speeds, but regular high speeds, 125 miles an hour. Its pretty fast , in my an hour. Its pretty fast, in my opinion, running down from manchester and then on the leg from my patch all the way down to london, it would run at high speeds. So it would make a lot of sense, save a lot of money and actually stop a lot of misery from people along the path of hs2 thats being planned i so this stage one, michael , so this stage one, michael, from london to birmingham and if reports are true, thats where this is going to end. Now, how much time on the journey has hs2 saved the passenger . Well first of all, ive got to correct you. Actually, phase one goes north of birmingham because im north of birmingham because im north of birmingham in litchfield, and then it connects , as i said, with coast , as i said, with the west coast main how time . Ten main line. How much time . Ten minutes. But they argue, of course, its not time anymore. Yeah, no, ten minutes faster to get to birmingham. Get to birmingham. So and its cost us how much and would have cost us how and it would have cost us how much get birmingham ten much to get to birmingham ten minutes quicker. Listen, all, they listen, first of all, they said 15 billion, then they say 27 its to going be 27 billion. Now its to going be 33 billion, probably 100 billion by the time satire is finished. By the time satire is finished. I mean, its just utterly ridiculous, especially when so many friends of mine claim to be. And dont bleep me out here, please, because no gb news is a very, very tough on language thats used a lot of my friends say theyre. And i said, what do say theyre. And i said, what do you mean theyre . And he said, well, we only work tuesdays, wednesdays and thursdays. You know, the point that there know, the point is that there isnt the use of the railways that there were before covid. Everything has changed. Technology has changed. And, you know, this isnt like japan. Know, this isnt like japan. Jeremy hunt goes on and on and on about how he was in japan and how he loved the bullet trains. How he loved the bullet trains. Well, first of all, japan is 3000 miles long. Were not even a thousand miles long. And secondly , apart from the bullet secondly, apart from the bullet trains, most trains in japan run at 40 miles an hour. So weve actually got pretty fast trains. The pendolinos run at 125. And even the london northwestern, slow train, slow in inverted commas. Litchfield runs at 110 commas. Litchfield runs at 110 miles an hour, which is a darn sight faster than most japanese trains. Michael, we will have to apologise in your power for using that word because you dont use that word here on gb news. But can i press you the money that will be saved from not pressing ahead with hs2 . Would you put it simply to cut the national or would you the National Debt or would you use other transport use it for other transport projects, which could be much more i dont know more useful . Well i dont know what other transport projects would be most useful because east west trains east west , east west trains east west, east, west trains. Michael that would be very useful activity , we know quite useful activity, we know quite right. Bev east west connectivity is absolutely dreadful and you know, getting across from sheffield, leeds and manchester is an absolute nightmare. So that would be very, very welcome indeed. All right. Well, thats all right. Michael fabricant, always right. Michael fabricant, always good to talk to you. Good to talk to you. Thank you, michael. Thank you, michael. Despite mischievous despite his mischievous language, i just explain language, can i just explain what meant by acronym . What he meant by that acronym . It means who work it means people who work tuesdays, and tuesdays, wednesdays and thursdays. Thats the acronym. Thursdays. Thats the acronym. We apologise if you had young we do apologise if you had young people listening. Michael consider yourself told off. Yeah, still come, cash yeah, right. Still to come, Cash Payments for the first time yeah, right. Still to come, cash pa a nents for the first time yeah, right. Still to come, cash paa decade. For the first time yeah, right. Still to come, cash paa decade. � 22. he first time yeah, right. Still to come, cash paa decade. � 22. Wefirst time yeah, right. Still to come, cash paa decade. � 22. We think me in a decade. In 22. We think thats for celebration. Thats cause for celebration. Remember, its been our Campaign News to get campaign here on gb news to get this issue debated in this whole issue debated in parliament because we know banks are cash are trying to get rid of cash with some conniving radio. Its 1121. Radio. Its1121. Youre with gb news youre not. Youre with britains newsroom on gb news with Andrew Pierce and bev turner. So Cash Payments rose for the first time in a decade in 2022. Thats to according new figures from uk finance , figures from uk finance, britains Main Financial services association. Then, of course, we launched our own dont kill Cash Campaign here on the on gb news over 310,000 signatures. Bev and others took it into number 10 because what we want is a proper debate in the commons to protect the cash as legal tender because we know the banks want to get rid of it. Joining us in the studio is very own liam studio is our very own Liam Halligan, our economics and business on the Business Editor with on the money. Money. You see the papers are reporting this as that people are using cash because theyre budgeting. But i think people are using cash because its a political statement. I think theres a bit of a bit of both. I think theres a bit of both in that people certainly find certainly those on lower incomes with respect it easier to with respect find it easier to budget using if youve got budget using cash if youve got a full of cash, thats a jam jar full of cash, thats the cash youve got. Its so much easier to thoughtlessly just tap and spend. But these are interesting figures from uk finance. Theyre a complete finance. Theyre a complete reversal what seen. Reversal of what weve seen. Lets have a little look. Ive got one of my have you got a graphic . Of graphics graphic . One of my graphics here. So back in 2011, 21 odd billion Cash Payments were made in the uk by 2021, that was down to 5. 7 billion. So you see the big drop there. That is the emergence of debit cards, credit cards and all the rest of it. But in 2022, because the cost of living squeeze hit, it went up to 6. 4 billion Cash Payments. So its still well below where it was, but up a little bit. And dunng was, but up a little bit. And during that period, this is really key. The number of atms in this country. I looked up peaked in 2016 at just over 70,000. Its now only 50,000 and falling fast and falling very, very fast. Now now, whats interesting is that weve had a number of organisation ins, some of whom have been working with gb news to try and promote our dont kill Cash Campaign, as you say. Well over 300,000 signatures now. And this is from the federation small the federation of Small Businesses. Now heres a statement them. Theyre statement from them. Theyre very, very powerful organisation. Like cbi organisation. They like the cbi , but for firms and they , but for small firms and they have many , many members. This is have many, many members. This is from the federation of Small Businesses others which ill businesses and others which ill say they say, say now is the time, they say, for government, financial for the government, financial services, regulators and industry to come together to establish cash as a Payment Method future , maintain method of the future, maintain payment for businesses payment choice for businesses and give consumers the diverse payments landscape they require. Thats federation small thats the federation Small Business, the Rural Services network and Petrol Retailers Association , association of association, association of convenience stores. A lot of convenience stores. A lot of industry bodies have come together because there are big power , much corporate power, much bigger corporate vested interests like the tech giants who want to monitor all our spending, like the big clearing banks who dont want to pay clearing banks who dont want to pay handling and like pay for cash handling and like Big Companies who know that Small Companies cash and Small Companies need cash and want to be banks, i dont want them to be banks, i dont think care any more about customers, is why theyre customers, which is why theyre closing so many cash machines. And weve got many older people simply would be lost people who simply would be lost without cash. Without cash. Absolutely. Right now, the government says it is bringing in new laws. Actually when we launched dont kill cash launched our dont kill Cash Campaign, little campaign, there was a little flurry regulations just a flurry of new regulations just a week after. I dont that week after. I dont know if that was coincidence, but the prime was a coincidence, but the Prime Minister i talked to the Prime Minister i talked to the Prime Minister when minister about this when i interviewed recently. New interviewed him recently. New laws to come in, so laws are set to come in, so banks have to provide customers with free access to cash within three miles of their home. Hmm. Okay. Thats what the spin is. But now were hearing treasury officials talking about the vast majority of customers will have free access to cash. Not everyone, three miles of their home. And of course, its all about the remote cases. The more rural cases. Yes. And i am rural cases. Yes. And i am really concerned about even three miles is quite a long way i if youre an older person who doesnt have a car in a place where no public transport. Yeah, i the rural areas theres i see in the rural areas theres no buses. Thats right. Its a real problem. No buses. Thats right. Its a reaiiproblem. No buses. Thats right. Its a reaii do 3lem. No buses. Thats right. Its a reaii do think i do think the i do think i do think the government is going to to government is going to have to Say Something about this. I do government is going to have to say s for their tickets by cash rather than using complicated than using these complicated machines which fleece you. Well, you know, andrew, in order get a debate in order to get a debate in parliament with Public Parliament with a public petition, you need 100,000 signatures. Well, gb news viewers that of the park. Knocked that out of the park. Right. Weve got times right. Weve got three times that. I know people like that. And i know people like you, for all the sort you, me, chop for all the sort of people at gb news have of people at gb news that have got political got high level political contacts. We pushing for contacts. We are pushing for that debate and hopefully that will i completely will happen. And i completely agree on ticket agree with you. On Ticket Offices get train in from offices, i get a train in from i wouldnt rural britain, but wouldnt say rural britain, but its about 40 miles away from london. Most days. Most days i see people at the Ticket Office asking questions, Getting Better deals for themselves and their family. Often older people , the family. Often older people, the Ticket Office staff are absolutely fabulous. I know half absolutely fabulous. I know half a dozen of them by name. Theyre consummate professionals. Consummate professionals. Theyre not particularly well paid. But what a service they provide. And we can listen now to chris loder, the tory mp who initiated this debate in Westminster Hall yesterday. This is chris loder. Here today actually to im here today actually to make the for case our station staffing hours to be maintained, not just because we need these experienced and knowledgeable members of staff , experienced and knowledgeable members of staff, but to make sure that in this cost of living crisis, passengers can get the cheapest fare rather than relying on manipulative apps and onune relying on manipulative apps and online digital prices that overcharge them. The one person overcharge them. The one person that can be trusted to provide the cheapest fare is the Ticket Office clerk. Office clerk. Quite right. And of course, chris loder used to work on the trains. Hes a great train man. He was a guy he started out as a guard on a train and hes become an mp and in that sense, you know, hes one of those Old Fashioned, you labour mps who come from a manual working background. Yeah and in his case, he could be and should be a really powerful voice for the train industry in parliament. Mark francois mp was in yesterday and straight yesterday and he came straight from debate and he said from that debate and he said there was support for there was no support for removing Ticket Offices. So removing the Ticket Offices. So wheres that pressure coming from . Liam that pressure is coming from network the from network rail and the pressure is coming from the treasury treasury treasury because the treasury subsidises network rail to provide a train service. I mean , do you remember during covid, the network, we werent allowed to go anywhere, but they were running ghost trains, running endless ghost trains, Endless Endless that endless, endless trains that were. Do that . What were. Why do they do that . What a waste of money. And the train drivers were neven and the train drivers were never, never lost any money at all. Though on all. Even though they were on flipping thats right. Flipping strikes. Thats right. Talking to trains, hs2. Liam now you the expert. You are the expert. Youre almost it. I am almost an anorak about it. I am an anorak about it. Thats why youre here to tell us just at what stage is now vulnerable and do you you think the main do you do you think the main stage were london to birmingham . Thats stage one. Yeah. Birmingham to manchester via crewe. Thats stage two. A and crewe. Thats stage two. A and then birmingham to leeds is that stage two. Be now as far as im understand it, stage to be was not scrapped then put on the shelf quite a few months and years ago. Unfortunately because leeds is a fantastic city and it desperately needs that connection on stage two, a remember making documents with andy burnham about this and i completely agree with the manchester mayor if you scrap birmingham to manchester, the main point of hs2 in its entire city disappears because youre only going to save ten 20 minutes. London to birmingham with hs2 at that stage of it. And it started out it was 27 billion was the estimate. Were now up way above 100 billion. Its a complete white elephant. Its a complete white elephant. Its out of control now. Lots of its out of control now. Lots of work has gone on around euston. Work has gone on around euston. Some work gone on in some work has gone on in birmingham, where the station is going to though the station going to be, though the station there on an Old Post Office there is on an Old Post Office freight site. Its not even smack in the middle of birmingham. Its even birmingham. Its not even birmingham, station. Birmingham. Its not even biryou;ham, station. Birmingham. Its not even biryou have station. Birmingham. Its not even biryou have to station. Birmingham. Its not even biryou have to walk station. Birmingham. Its not even biryou have to walk acrossation. So you have to walk across birmingham. So i think the whole thing been driven thing has basically been driven by powerful vested interests , by powerful vested interests, the engineering lobby and also Property Developers whove bought up land along the line. Bought up land along the line. Andy burnham is going to be furious when he hears this news, the mayor of manchester, and rightly so, because this is whatever levelling up is , this whatever levelling up is, this is this is the opposite of it. The opposite. And let me just add my voice to yours, bev, because you are completely right. What we theres a scream ing need for what we call three hs1 was london down to the channel tunnel right . High Speed Channel tunnel right . High speed train. Is what weve just train. Hs2 is what weve just been talking about. Hs3 is the nickname all the nickname for liverpool. All the way across to newcastle. Obviously via Manchester Sheffield and leeds. That would link together those Great Northern cities. You would have an urban conurbation , you would an urban conurbation, you would have an economy that would challenge london. Yeah, right. But youd have an economy that would challenged london with cheaper prices, better cheaper house prices, Better Living more open space. A lot of young people, all those university towns, all those university towns, all those manchester, leeds, newcastle , a lot of young people newcastle, a lot of young people would to that part the world. They would ease and rebalance, are ridiculously lopsided. And the money they save from hs2 to if they invested it in those Cross Country rail links would be transformative. Would be transform ative. Would be transformative. It would be transformative , it would be transformative, genuinely levelling up. And that would be genuinely levelling up. But its not just that. One of the documentaries i once made, andrew, it was all about how you can a slither of the can take just a slither of the money hs2 and use it money from hs2 and use it particular pinch points in the network, smaller projects, tens of millions , maybe low hundreds of millions, maybe low hundreds of millions, maybe low hundreds of millions, maybe low hundreds of millions like across manchester. I mean, everyone in manchester. I mean, everyone in manchester will know what im about to say. This thing called the corridor. Its the castlefield corridor. Its where whole of the british where the whole of the british rail north west system rail, north west to east system goes across one bridge in the middle of manchester, and its one line in either direction. One line in either direction. And the fact that they wont widen that is just a nightmare. And the department of transport is given, promised money to widen that many, many times. And theyve never quite delivered. Theres leadburn junction, also, where famous great train where the famous great train robber , a photograph was taken. Robber, a photograph was taken. You know the footage if you eased up leadburn junction, mate, that would that would unpick a lot of pinch points as well. If you electrify trains in the north, 80 of train journeys in the north are on diesel trains. Right diesel trains are slower. They cant accelerate, which means you have fewer of them, which means you have less frequent, more crowded trains as all commuters into big northern cities on the train know well. That is our resident trainspotter Liam Halligan , who trainspotter Liam Halligan, who wear an anorak. Next time you do the trains because you do it so well. All right. From trains to trans, more schools are crying out for guidance on that very controversial issue. Sam lister controversial issue. Sam lister and carol miller will be here to give your give. Us their give us your give. Give us their thoughts. Though, heres thoughts. First, though, heres rhiannon with with the. News good morning. Its coming news good morning. Its coming up to 1133. Your top stories from the newsroom. Im three met the newsroom. Im three met Police Officers will face a Misconduct Hearing for their role in the strip search of child.
