Good morning. There are just six days to go until the General Election and we have bought the sofa to scotlands ancient capital, dunfermline. What does the politics mean for the money in our pockets and how does that affect how people vote in six days time . We have come to meet local voters and local businesses to find out what it means for them. Matt is also here with the weather. Good morning. Iam in the grounds of Dunfermline Abbey finding out what place it plays in the towns history. Brighter and fresher conditions on the way and that lasts into the weekend. I will tell you what that means for you in 15 minutes. We are in the historic surgery of dunfermline in the kingdom of fife. Let me set the scene will be here all morning with the sofa talking to voters and politicians about the issues that matter to them six days ahead of the General Election. You will see in the background, lars, a historian. Youll be teaching us about Robert The Bruce who is buried here. Also this was home
That he was a nice guest. And then the nice guest got into his car and drove to westminster bridge. John sweeney reporting there. Well, as you heard, Khalid Masood spent time in three different prisons in his earlier. There has been a well documented problem of islamist radicalisation within the prison system. Last year, ian acheson wrote a report for the government on the issue and joins us now. Thank you forjoining me this evening. There is a lot we dont know about Khalid Masood. Yes. But it is very clear but we do know that he spent time in lewes prison, where you spent a short time as a governor there. And a couple of other prisons, weiland and ford, which you visited. Can you give me an idea that when you visited them, how aware you would have been of the problem of radicalisation there . Firstly, its important to emphasise that we have no idea at this point in time whether his periods of time in custody were relevant at all to what he became, which was a murderous terrorist. Or,
stand up to donald trump and his crazy rhetoric, his childish ways, you know, and i know that it makes people laugh, but being president of the united states is no laughing matter. nikki haley, just in the last week, she was under fire for an answer that she gave that failed to mention slavery when she explained why the civil war was fought. do you think that that was a serious mistake? you know, look, i know it s been talked about a lot, and i m not going to put words in her mouth. but, you know, when you get asked a question, you try to answer it as best as you can. and certainly, you know, we all know what happened with the civil war. she knew it as well. and i think it was kind of a question that was trying to get a gotcha moment and, you know, we re talking about issues today, not issues that happened a couple of centuries ago. i know it was an important time in our history, but, you know,
carley: special edition, joe concha and i touch on the stories that everyone is talking about. so, first off, hollywood facing backlash over its ties to china. senator ted cruz accusing the new barbie movie of pushing ccp propaganda and grovelling to the communist regime. criticism coming after vietnam banned the movie over scenes with a map showing china s claims to the territory in the south china sea. so-called nine dash line. joe, is barbie communist? maybe. hollywood is like the nba, they don t stand up to china when it counts. this movie is fiction and so is the nine dash line that you see during the movie around vietnam. if i m the studio, i have a big disclaimer in the beginning of the movie saying you know what,
let s not forget that he would be back in court at the end of the month facing - charges. so there s a lot of th presidents play. gracious words for the forme fresh on january six she has not them since the sad thing is that mike pence stands by a man wh consistently through the month and speaks about him in th most inappropriate terms of an president. i posts on his truth social bu even today about easter, you can see the undercurrents of him talking about someone like a pence. and so the fact that mike penc doesn t stand up to donald trump, largely because he is afraid of supporters, but mike pence doesn t have a base. so he is grappling around hi either so we are seeing jus essentially a bully continuing to bully his former vice president and his vice president taking it. this is the minor standard tha i will actually abide by the law and sit in front of possible grand jury, but it is not that president trump wil
