characters bear a striking resemblance to harry and meghan. throughout the course of the show, they complain about wanting privacy whilst continuously drawing attention to with media appearances. continuously drawing attention to with media appearances . look, to with media appearances. look, i'm just going to give you a little bit of a clip of them appearing on particular canadian talk show . let's guess the talk show. let's guess the prince and wife with exactly what they're . you've lived what they're. you've lived a life with the royal family had everything handed to you. but you're saying your has been hot and now you've written all about it and your new book where. yes, that's right. and you say my wife i are talking, you wife and i are talking, you should write a because should write a book because you're like, it. you're finally like, stop it. and then are like and then some are like journalists. it'sjust and then some are like journalists. it's just is gold, isn't it? and his new book, where in the episode as where you go in the episode as well, the prince was described as royal prince, millionaire, world traveller victim. meghan was sorority girl, was described sorority girl, actress, influencer and victim and then at the end, the cartoon formerly known as prince harry, that decides that you can just

live a normal life. and interestingly, the current meghan decides that's not for her. well, is this all a little bit harsh on the sussexes are all creators of south park right to expose the hypocrisy? joining me now to discuss this is royal biographer is angela levin. angela hewitt , biographer is angela levin. angela hewitt, i've biographer is angela levin. angela hewitt , i've spoken biographer is angela levin. angela hewitt, i've spoken at length about harry's new length about prince harry's new book look they're not book where but look they're not popular on either side of the atlantic now who could have predicted well think it predicted this. oh well think it would have come in time ? i think would have come in time? i think people didn't believe it. they thought it's just not true. they you know, they've had a hard and it passed in the uk didn't meghan because of that she was of mixed race and blaming those things to us but actually after they meghan interview and another one and another one and then the long six hour thing on when they whined for such a long time and then book, 'spare' think they now realise that

they're absolutely shocking. yes that decided to show it in a way that decided to show it in a way that can't be legally that people will laugh at them and made ridicule of their nonsense . you know, the first thing you showed was , you know, they they showed was, you know, they they say they want privacy and that they are doing endless. say they want privacy and that they are doing endless . all the they are doing endless. all the pr people are showing them up everywhere . it's the smallest everywhere. it's the smallest and the largest things and they're just not taking they want to be save the world, but they go on planes. you know, there's so things that this paragraph shows that it's brilliant satire. satire is a wonderful thing . it is a wonderful thing. it is a beautiful of exposing true is on point in a way that people like you and i may be are unable do. and they've hit the absolute nail on the head when it comes to this and exposing the hypocrisy. what i do find interesting that and interesting is that meghan and harry decided essentially

harry decided to essentially blame of the issues that blame a lot of the issues that they here , i would argue, they faced here, i would argue, of their own making. of course, that here on the fact that they face here on the fact that they face here on the fact that we're all horrible little racists, certainly in post—brexit britain. well, what are going to about are they going to say about america? well, i they're going to be really, really shocked. i mean, they're investigating the moment that facts about your thoughts and they can't do because the first amendment says you you can't do that to a pubuc you you can't do that to a public figure . you know, they public figure. you know, they haven't really . and harry will haven't really. and harry will be going to decline with depression. and meghan continue to ignore it and just move on. i think seen that when things are difficult for her, she just steps back for a bit and then moves on as if ever happened. one of the things that this south park episode alluded to was scene in it where harry is or the particular prince that was stood next to and he's talking to her and they a heads and realises that there's just

there's inside. and i think insinuation there is that actually there's something quite vacuous about that character that for a striking resemblance to meghan your views on that when it came about on the discussion about really matters you know is how people look at people or actually is it what's going on inside you. do you have a heart do you have empathy ? are a heart do you have empathy? are you keen to person and this particular individual who looks extraordinarily like harry opens him, opens her mouth, enormous mouth look her right in and could say that there's absolutely nothing . it's totally absolutely nothing. it's totally hollow . the want is a very, very hollow. the want is a very, very difficult symptom for them to. the wider thing now is what next for harry and meghan? because they've basically spoken their truth. there's been there's been

audio books. there's been you, by the way, for bringing up the netflix you know , netflix documentary. you know, me. i only don't like to talk about in it. i hate it about it. i was in it. i hate it when people bring up the fact i was in the harry and meghan documentary watched by millions netflix , his watched series netflix, his most watched series ever.i netflix, his most watched series ever. i don't like to bring it up, but you brought so thank up, but you brought up so thank you that but but now you for that but but what now for them ? because if they are for them? because if they are unpopular over here and they're unpopular over here and they're unpopular in america, i mean , unpopular in america, i mean, why do they go and live the nonh why do they go and live the north pole? well, there was a rumour that they were going to again in africa change the whole thing and another continent believe that a second. but the cartoon actually did show them on their secret world and sending everybody not to look at and they actually did it with animals and though the animals ran so i mean maybe there's a that they're going to sort of try to look after animals that were dying but the other is that

i think that they they've just going to do things for netflix are romantic they're not going to blame everybody or talk about themselves they're going to do romantic stories. i think they will be yeah but we'll have to wait and see. show got a deal with they do now this i think is a massive win for the king and for prince william and everyone associated with them i would argue for britain, frankly because i've got emails and by the way, just a quick little plug the way, just a quick little plug here, gb views and gb news uk. in light of this harry and meghan stuff, to from meghan stuff, want to know from you wonderful listeners and you all wonderful listeners and viewers the worst viewers what you think the worst thing meghan is thing about harry and meghan is and a good one here from and this is a good one here from jeff. he says the worst thing that both believed that that both of them believed that they more than the they were more than the institution the royal the institution of the royal the monarchy, existed for monarchy, which has existed for almost a years and almost a thousand years and actually family and actually the royal family and now emerged. this now have emerged. well, this week because offered the week because charles offered the olive gone. olive to harry. harry's gone. well want come to well if you want me to come to your coronation, then you're

going to come here going to have to come over here and talk to me. and everyone's like, i have a day off, okay? and then. now this south park thing and charles thing has come out, and charles and can see. i think and william can see. i think that people laughing at them that people are laughing at them all world. and all over the world. and the power our royals, power is back with our royals, is not? yes, i think so but is it not? yes, i think so but there's another comment there's also another comment that that he didn't blame that harry that he didn't blame himself for anything that in the book was very proud of it. book he was very proud of it. he's with it. and actually, if that's the it's a real that's the truth, it's a real shock because the things he's said in there about himself about his father and his brother actually make him someone that you realise will not learn and you realise will not learn and you can't help come out of this terrible say that his in can i just ask you one final question angela and it is a broader question . it's more about question. it's more about society in general, actually, and i think there's been a lot of victim ization. it's of self victim ization. it's almost become a fashion okay to try to expose your own flaws and, the struggles that you've been through and to paint yourself as a victim and seek

sympathy and basically say, this is why everything's awful and i've always firmly believed the vast majority of the public don't , that the vast majority of don't, that the vast majority of the public, like who puts their shoulders , the wheel gets on. shoulders, the wheel gets on. and when they're all genuine, tough, you try and does their best pick best and, tries to pick themselves up and not win and moan it. and in harry's moan about it. and in harry's case, i would argue he didn't actually to whinge actually that much to whinge about with. you about to begin with. do you think could a signal now think this could be a signal now for people to frankly stop moaning and start cracking on a bit? you know , said that bit? well, you know, said that that he was an influence and meghan was an influence but i hope people don't take that up. i think it will be very hard journey. but i think that the queen was right when she said, don't complain and don't explain because this means you have a stiff upper lip. it doesn't have to be a totally unmoveable stiff upper lip , but you have to be a upper lip, but you have to be a bit courageous . it's the same bit courageous. it's the same things how they're stopping nursery rhymes, stopping children's . everything's got to

children's. everything's got to be because they're all sort so delicate. not at all have to break people up with a bit of difficulty and make things hard for them so that they learn to grow and are decent human beings can cope. you can't cope . you're can cope. you can't cope. you're a victim. you've got to be strong to take things as they come . to be fair, if i was come. to be fair, if i was a victim, a whopping great big trust fund in a to fall back on, i think i would cope just fine. but angela, thank you very, very much. as ever, angela levin , who much. as ever, angela levin, who is, course, the is, of course, the internationally renowned royal biographer, just reacting to those clips, was fantastic . i'm those clips, was fantastic. i'm going to be returning to these throughout the show by the because and meghan are now because harry and meghan are now about as popular as small pox on both sides of the atlantic. but we on. okay we are we are moving on. okay we are moving because very moving on because very significant now significant progress is now being a potential being made on. a potential northern ireland protocol deal. now, there are three now, now people there are three words the english language . words in the english language. the sometimes the only thing sometimes unfairly, possibly, but sometimes could be used just sometimes could be used just some kind of sleeping pill. and those words are northern ireland and protocol but here we are.

that's to the sinn fein leader, mary lou mcdonald. he thinks maybe that could be progress on this particular thing. now we're going to try stuck it. going to try to get stuck it. she spoke after with prime she spoke after with the prime minister. sunak. now the minister. rishi sunak. now the pm has visiting the country in a bid to try and get its devolved assembly back up and running the northern ireland assembly hasn't met since summer last after the dup over post—brexit dup protested over post—brexit trading arrangements . but this trading arrangements. but this is what i want to know. is it going be some kind of brexit betrayal? going to up betrayal? are we going to up syphoning off some of our territory to european territory to the european bigwigs there or is it bigwigs over there or is it actually big barnstorming actually a big barnstorming victory? is gb victory? joining me now is gb news is political reporter olivia , who is in olivia utley, who is in hollyrood county down where leaders been meeting. and leaders have been meeting. and she's following events throughout course of the throughout the course of the day. olivia hit me . thank very day. olivia hit me. thank very much for that introduction , much for that introduction, patrick. i hope it won't be too much of a snooze though. yes. so rishi sunak been here in northern ireland this morning, meeting leaders the major meeting leaders of the major parties to try to get them to

agree to the terms of his new brexit deal, which will he hopes solve the northern ireland protocol issue and had sinn fein press conference coming out, they it was very much they said that it was very much game on the deal which game on with the deal which sounded quite promising. but the sticking is the dup sticking point is the dup because union s and northern ireland are very, very worried about the continued influence of the ecj the european courts of justice over the. they feel as though that would mean nigel dodds put it is northern ireland being colonised by the eu. the other thing that they're worried aboutis other thing that they're worried about is this issue customs checks lots and lots of customs checks lots and lots of customs checks taking place at northern irish border for goods coming from britain to , northern from britain to, northern ireland, which they feel is unnecessary given that northern ireland is supposed to be a full part of the uk. so had the dup leader donaldson come out and actually his was a lot more conciliatory than some would expect, he talked about progress quite a few times , which wasn't quite a few times, which wasn't the tone we're expecting him

because so far he's been pretty intransigent on the possibility of a deal being reached. that said , he hasn't actually seen said, he hasn't actually seen the text of the deal and he was very very clear to point that out. so it could well be that when he does finally the text of the deal, he won't like. look of it. the other problem, rishi sunak, is that if he does manage to get this deal through parliament, he's going to munich now to meet with eu leaders where he'll try and thrash it out with and then on out with them. and then on tuesday to put it to tuesday going to put it to parliament parliament, parliament and in parliament, although probably although the bill probably cross the keir starmer the line because keir starmer has said that labour would support , it's there's big support it, it's there's a big risk would come a big risk that it would come a big tory rebellion because there are plenty of backbench meps in the e.g. european research group who feel that it would amount to a betrayal of brexit, it would amount to giving over northern ireland to the eu. so it's not going to be an easy stone cut. can i, can i drill down into that a little bit. so why is

this viewed as such a big betrayal? because from where i'm it looks a little bit like some officials in brussels without , a officials in brussels without, a single shot being fired might be about to conquer a piece of our land. about to conquer a piece of our land . well, that is definitely land. well, that is definitely a view of some of the more hardline members of the dup essentially . the biggest issue essentially. the biggest issue really is the issue of the european courts of justice. so once left the eu, the europeans of course, justice should have no jurisdiction over any part the united kingdom, but under northern ireland protocol as it is the ecj can make about what's happening in northern ireland, which some would argue amounts to giving over some of all sovereignty to the european. the other issue is this issue customs checks . and obviously if customs checks. and obviously if trade is passing from great britain to northern ireland, one wouldn't expect there to be customs checks on it because it's all part of the same union of nations. but with the deal

that we've got at the moment, current northern ireland protocol, we are those customs checks and that is a problem for . the for the principled reason of the sovereignty of the uk. but it's proving a big problem for businesses, northern ireland, who are just having to go through massive of paperwork to trade with the mainland of britain. so those are the two main issues and it sounds as though there been a little bit of progress on some of them, but there are still plenty of areas which need clarity , as jeffrey which need clarity, as jeffrey donaldson euphemistically put it, fantastic. olivia great stuff. thank you very much. rightly that gb news this political reporter who's in northern ireland picking through is to delve into the is just going to delve into the inbox quickly. gbviews@gbnews.uk i've pretty i've been asking you pretty straightforwardly light the straightforwardly light of the app straightforwardly light of the app were hatchet job app suddenly were hatchet job that done stateside on harry that was done stateside on harry and meghan earlier on. they are now not popular. decided the now not popular. we decided the atlantic be interesting to atlantic will be interesting to see blame on over see what they blame that on over there. won't whether it's there. i won't say whether it's own actually just the own bias or actually just the fact people can see

fact that people can now see straight through them. i really do believe harriet do believe. harriet had it tough. anyone losing a mother at a young age having to bear grief in bound to struggle. in public is bound to struggle. this and completely this is from and i completely understand ian does go understand that and ian does go on is but the on to say, though, is but the way going about it is all way he's going about it is all wrong. yeah, absolutely. and i think park did it best as they usually saying, we want privacy and book where and calling his new book where which really silly let's which is really silly let's be honest with you what it all is realistically so that we go he your coming in i have been your views coming in i have been asking you what you think the worst thing harry worst thing about harry and meghan so far betraying meghan is and so far betraying our royal family one and the our royal family is one and the fact that they the view of fact that they in the view of chris caused the queen and prince philip headaches and grief in that and days. and i wholeheartedly behind what you said that chris. thank you very much. coming up, the home secretary has waded into the national conversation missing national conversation on missing woman foley. suella woman nicola foley. suella braverman has raised concerns with police after they revealed personal information about the we live on this show yesterday about police failures trying to

hold their feet to the fire on all of this as a lancashire police had referred themselves the watchdog. it has been an absolute mess from start to finish . and did you see what one finish. and did you see what one of the coppers turned up wearing one of the press conferences as well ? she's one of the press conferences as well? she's going to one of the press conferences as well ? she's going to knock out well? she's going to knock out more on that next. oh, good afternoon. i'm deakin this afternoon. i'm deakin and this is your latest weather update from office saturday from the met office saturday promises lighter winds compared to today as storm otto pulls most of us will have a dry day and for most of us it'll be pretty . there storm otto pretty. there is storm otto denmark pretty hard through friday evening. there is low following on behind but this one is nowhere near as intense . it is nowhere near as intense. it will be bringing outbreaks of rain through the evening. northern ireland and to scotland it will bring some snowfall over the hills of scotland through parts of grampians the parts of grampians and the highlands in particular some of the higher here. could the higher routes here. could see if centimetres of snow, mostly low levels, but could mostly at low levels, but could icy as temperatures fall icy as well as temperatures fall down close to or touch below freezing for the south. we are a long from any ice and snowy very

mild night here with temperatures the weekend at ten or 11 celsius a bit damp first thing for south wales and southwest england that rain should peter out staying fairly dank and drizzly through central and northern parts of northern northern scotland. much brighter and certainly the winds a lot lighter than today, a bit breezy elsewhere. but again, generally some brighter spells and mild 1450 degrees with a bit of sunshine feeling quite chilly. i suspect that's through the central belt, six or seven at best here with the rain and drizzle is likely to pop up again through saturday evening, could bring a bit more hill snow for a time , but that fizzles out for a time, but that fizzles out since. that leads to most places starting sunday, dry the main exception will again be northwest , where the exception will again be northwest, where the winds start to pick during sunday. further rain in here, some rain through the central belt for a time. but here and of course, southern scotland, it should up for northern ireland. cloudy but

mostly dry for england and wales . perhaps a bit more sunshine coming through on sunday. a brighter day getting windy once more in the north—west, but again, pretty mild . the middle again, pretty mild. the middle of february, double digits and into the teens in the south. good bye .

okay, people. well, the nicola case is the missing mum has gnpped case is the missing mum has gripped the nation. it's been around. i think 21 days now since she sadly went missing. and we've had numerous different developments on it throughout the time the the course that time and the spotlight firmly has fixed now on lancashire police and indeed they fixed the spotlight on themselves actually, because they referred themselves the they referred themselves to the independent that independent watchdog and that was that was yesterday. we broke that live show right at the live on this show right at the end of it. today's is that end of it. well, today's is that the home secretary is well a private man has asked lancashire police why disclose

police explain why they disclose details about nicola bully's health. so for those of you weren't aware, obviously those details were. that says she previously with alcohol that problem but now maybe it's had a again and that she's struggled with various things hormonal to do with menopause etc. anyway . do with menopause etc. anyway. the independent office for police conduct has said that they've made contact with lancashire police over information that was made public information that was made public in conference about the in a press conference about the missing life. let's go missing mother's life. let's go now to sophie reaper who is our nonh now to sophie reaper who is our north of england. reporter sophie. he's been this case pretty much from the start . so pretty much from the start. so sophie, the home secretary's got involved. now, this is a development development that is in the case. patrick, you mention that we're at that three week point now and the facts remain still pretty thin on the but what this case in evidence is made up for in the controversy that we've been seeing over the past three weeks now, last week we saw sgi, an

independent search team get involved with lancashire to help them search the river. but after just three days found a pizza fold pulled out of the search showing that he believes she's not in the stretch of the river where they've been searching. then course we have that dispersal after lancashire police said that armchair detectives have been disrupting their investigation only gave police power to send tik tok as a new away from the area . then a new away from the area. then earlier this week we that press conference with lancashire where they told us that as soon as she was listed as a missing person nicola bully was graded at high risk. and that was because of specific vulnerabilities which originally they said they wouldn't able to share. however, by the evening they'd made a complete warning you on that decision and revealed to public that the reason she was high risk was because in the past she had had significant issues with alcohol as a result of the menopause. now the decision to

reveal that information been widely criticised. you mentioned that the home secretary suella braverman involvement she's asking lancashire police to let her know why they chose to reveal that information . earlier reveal that information. earlier today we heard from information commissioner john edwards who said we recognise that at this stage of an intensive life investigate action. the force must focus all their energies on the inquiry . must focus all their energies on the inquiry. but given the high profile nature of this case, we will be lancashire police to set out how they reached the decision to disclose this information in due course . now, information in due course. now, of course, as these controversies cases continue, as the national interest people are very invested in this case. in my humble opinion, it's there's just so much mystery . we're just so much mystery. we're three weeks on and yet we still don't have an answer. so what on earth has happened to a mother of two? nicola bailey ever

sophie reaper that gb news is very old, west of england. reporter who has been across that case for was pretty from the start and yet lancashire police now have referred themselves to that watchdog. now just looks awful. i know people have huge much sympathy. of course they do. for everything it's going on and they know that the police are working hard. but i people now i think a lot of people now starting wonder, well, hang starting to wonder, well, hang on all just trying on a minute. all you just trying to yourselves. you didn't to cover yourselves. you didn't tell the independent by force this information. if it's relevant, should have told relevant, you should have told them. if it's not relevant, shouldn't should shouldn't have told us. should you? because now paul nicola's reputation frankly reputation is frankly in a particularly family particularly bad state, a family now with all of this now to deal with all of this stuff and the fact that stuff as well. and the fact that they revealed that had they revealed that she had specific vulnerabilities, they were trying people like were trying tell people like myself public in myself that and the public in general show that, oh, general that to show that, oh, this went so on it. this is why we went so on it. this is why we went so big on the well, i'm going the search her. well, i'm going to the search for a but to be on the search for a but supposedly you were looking the wrong place for example and also on that, where are we on top of that, where are we now? realistically, nicola's reputation tarnished reputation is tarnished and also they've sucking the

they've been frankly sucking the pubuc they've been frankly sucking the public saying, oh, public as well, saying, oh, you've us loaded, you've been giving us loaded, tough well, given you've been giving us loaded, tougfact well, given you've been giving us loaded, tougfact that well, given you've been giving us loaded, tougfact that the well, given you've been giving us loaded, tougfact that the police , given you've been giving us loaded, tougfact that the police have n the fact that the police have obviously to any kind obviously not come to any kind of conclusions of significant conclusions in this they've this at the moment, and they've tried to blame and it didn't help this is help matters by way and this is controversial, but it didn't help that one of the help matters that one of the detectives turned up at that press conference looking as though a rather though she was wearing a rather casual out casual dress. now hear me out and. that's people have and. that's some people have said as though said it looks as though she wasn't taking it that seriously. i get that that be unfair. but the optics this for lancashire police have been terrible. meanwhile unfortunately nicola remains missing it would mean patrick news. patrick christys on gb news. the police the police police though of the police foiled terror plots foiled late stage terror plots with and apparently with extremists and apparently were from kids as young as 13 years old. so there we go. that's according to the uk's head of counter—terrorism policing. should this make us sleep easier, though, the sleep easier, though, if the police actually to get police actually trying to get involved in stopping people involved now in stopping people at minute, people at the last minute, some people are we don't know are saying, hey we don't know how are be alive. how lucky we are to be alive. all of that coming your way after headlines headlines after these headlines headlines

. patrick, thank you. good afternoon . this is the latest afternoon. this is the latest from the gb newsroom. the dup's says progress has been made on the northern protocol. following discussions in belfast with the prime minister. but further work is rishi sunak held talks with stormont leaders this as they tried to resolve contentious post—brexit trading arrangements. the pm will eu leaders in germany amid speculation a deal could be unveiled early next week. sinn fein president mary lou mcdonnell says an agreement is absolutely . ongoing to the absolutely. ongoing to the european single market. no hardening of the border on island of ireland and protection of the good friday in all of its parts. those are the core elements and aspects that need to be protected . but it seems to to be protected. but it seems to that it's very much game on and we're very heartened by that. we're very, very conscious that

a deal can be done, should now be concluded speedily. we hope that that will be the case. the scottish national party has postponed a conference on independ and following the resignation of first minister nicola sturgeon. it comes as the party's executive committee said a ballot to select the new party leader will on the 27th of march. deputy ministerjohn swinney and, edinburgh south west mp cherry, have already announced . they won't be announced. they won't be entering the race race . around entering the race race. around 1500 ambulance workers in wales will now join almost 10,000. gmb members across england in a strike on monday. it's after the gmb union announced its staff in wales had rejected an offer from the welsh government . meanwhile, the welsh government. meanwhile, ambulance workers in the west midlands have taken to the picket lines today, with patients facing more delays. members of the gmb and unite unions staging a walkout in

gb news now the police got a lot of stick and in my opinion, rightly , sometimes you only have to look back at things like the grooming gang situational. frankly, what's going frankly, what's been going on with wayne cousins with the likes of wayne cousins and possibly as well and indeed possibly as well in the case of bailey , the

the case of nicola bailey, the police coming into heavy criticism handling of criticism for their handling of that investigation. we've just been that. but been talking about that. but here potentially good here is potentially some good news . our police and indeed for news. our police and indeed for all of us, because we frankly don't how lucky we are to be alive. don't how lucky we are to be auve.the don't how lucky we are to be alive. the uk's head of counter—terrorism policing, matt jukes, has that the force stopped eight late stage terror last year with a number close calls. in fact he called some of go line saves which really oh gosh.i go line saves which really oh gosh. i mean the mind boggles that doesn't it. he also said there's currently hundred live investigations into plots the police believe could be terror related . the threat from hostile related. the threat from hostile rogue states has also supposedly in the last two years reaching unprecedented levels . but with unprecedented levels. but with me now is chris phillips. he's a former head of national counter—terror and security office. thank you very much. great to have you on show. great to have you on the show. i am relieved and, terrified am both relieved and, terrified to know that if is true, someone's just about to pull the trigger , wallop, counter—terror trigger, wallop, counter—terror rocks up and saves . what's going

rocks up and saves. what's going on? yeah, well, it's just goes to show the breadth of the threat against that the uk and its citizens and i mean this report quite stunning actually the number of attacks that have been thwarted right at the last minute, as you said, but also the difficult days the police and counterterrorism are having to deal with a with for war crimes. but equally concerned , crimes. but equally concerned, in fact, more concerning perhaps is this number people that were appears going to be kidnapped by other states iran being mentioned and away and goodness knows what would have happened. and so such a wide threat picture that we've that. yeah. and just the line that stood out to me is that last year we stopped eight late stage terror plots and the reality is that a number of those were close calls i would describe several of them as goal line saves. what does that mean ? well, it means

that really mean? well, it means that really mean? well, it means that interventions have to be made because these people were actually either physically going to target and looking at them or getting the weapons to the attacks. and of course, with terrorism, you can't let get to the scene, get get the knife, get the gun or whatever it is. you have to stop it before that. so you will see the police deaung so you will see the police dealing with these things in the early stages rather than the later stages as. you might do perhaps lesser offences. perhaps with lesser offences. and you of course the former of the counterterrorism the national counterterrorism security office, when it comes to line say he's i imagine that you've had a couple in your time . are you able to just discuss any of those if it's non—specific ? well, there's over non—specific? well, there's over the years there have been hundreds of these attacks that have been stopped. and without into details , you know, it into any details, you know, it may be that people have been arrested overseas that the things have been diverted . but things have been diverted. but there, of course, are many, many cases where specific locations were being targeted . and we've

were being targeted. and we've seen oil refineries , we've seen seen oil refineries, we've seen stadiums, manchester united , stadiums, manchester united, bluewater shopping centre was being targeted. so. so all these people, these events that could have involved killing many hundreds of people been stopped by the police and, you know , you by the police and, you know, you know, it's very easy to criticise a face but when you see the amount of work they have to do to stop these things, it's incredible. and i just think what is fascinating, i was thinking this on the way in to work this morning actually was picking through this story. i wonder many times in my life, i'm completely oblivious . this, i'm completely oblivious. this, you know, i could have been caught up in something and, you know, whether it's a non—uniformed police officer or one of your counter—terror of just intervene just time all those people walking round blue water shopping centre or old trafford football stadium completely the wiser or completely none the wiser or cracking on with that day was so much and little did much into primark and little did they know that if it wasn't for one of you guys that they could have been seconds away from an absolute disaster. just finally

on threat, on one now, this threat, a hundred live threats supposedly . do we have a right to be pretty fearful about this and be looking our shoulder as members of the public. yeah i think we forget because no attacks have taken place you know the last three or a terrorist attack was in manchester. we think that every day is going to be fine , every day is going to be fine, but these things are in the background and you know, when you see and i know you've been criticising what's on up criticising what's going on up lancashire but that's an lancashire but but that's an incredibly difficult investigation as these these cases that we're seeing they're talking about now we do have to be that there are some very, very bad people out there that we rely the face to protect from them . thank you very much. them. thank you very much. i thank you for all you've as well. you never know. you might have saved life. it will be a few people out there. i wish we possibly had increased chris possibly had increased our chris phillips, former head of the phillips, the former head of the national counter—terrorism office in case you office just reacting in case you just to goal just joining us to some goal line saves. was saying people line saves. i was saying people write want a better

write so for want of a better phrase, pull trigger on a big terror attack and. police stepped so police do. stepped in. so the police do. one my friends again copied one of my friends again copied quite some good quite a lot, partly some good that the police have been that that the police have been do moving on now do but we're moving on now because shadow justice because labour's shadow justice secretary this is this is interesting fly—tipped interesting or fly—tipped obviously my existence . obviously bane of my existence. steve announced tough steve reid as announced tough measures to crack down on criminals and he said that if elected labour would force criminals to clear up litter and vandalism , part of clean up vandalism, part of clean up squads as well as enforce tougher lines on community in order to ensure offenders better serve their community cities. we're going to be talking about this well from an individual who has actually suffered a loss and is suffering at the hands of those pesky fly—tipped, who i think probably be put in think probably should be put in the stocks. but you really the stocks. but you can't really say national say that given these national polls. is here. so polls. paul hawkins is here. so you spoke to steve reed earlier on. so this a tough crime, on. so is this a tough crime, tough on the causes crime? tough on the causes of crime? is yeah. in we have that yeah. and in fact, we have that from yvette, the shadow home secretary yesterday. and in fact, was making fact, today, steve he was making a generally about a speech generally about anti—social he

anti—social behaviour and he invoked tony blair invoked the name of tony blair twice. labour of twice. so clearly labour of moving in that direction in the run next year's expected run to next year's expected election. but yeah he was focusing today as part of that on anti—social behaviour on on litter , on vandalism he was litter, on vandalism he was talking about. it's clean up scores. just to give you an idea of the scale of the problem, 1.1 million flights of incidents into march last year, that's actually slightly down and number of enforcements are 11% up. so councils are cracking down on this , but they're using down on this, but they're using things like warning letters, investigations and fixed penalty notices is only for. i mean, when you think of fly—tipping, you think of those enormous piles of rubbish, don't you, that look like they could fill a lorry actually only of the lorry actually only 4% of the size a tipper lorry, a third size of a tipper lorry, a third with the size of a small van load. the biggest a load. the biggest proportion a quarter about the size of quarter were about the size of a car boot load less so that's where they're looking to crack down on this thing. if you down on this of thing. if you fly tip, you can get up to five years in jail, unlimited fine. you can have the vehicle you can even have the vehicle you taken you and

you use taken away from you and destroyed. labour is saying, destroyed. but labour is saying, no, no let's use these no, no, no let's use these cleanup squads effectively. if you clean out. you did it, you clean out. that's the message. and it's part the rehabilitation part of the rehabilitation process. community gets process. the community gets their up their neighbourhood cleaned up and to do it and you learn not to do it again. at least that's the theory. according to steve reed, theory. according to steve reed, the justice secretary, this is what earlier. paul what he had to say earlier. paul to mess we'll be to make the mess we'll be made to make the mess we'll be made to clear up afterwards to clear the mess up afterwards and.the to clear the mess up afterwards and. the thwaites will work. you're convicted dumping rubbish. issued with rubbish. you're issued with a fixed notice. then fixed penalty notice. you then join these clean up join one of these clean up squads will put right what squads and will put right what you've done, what you've done that you a lesson. that will teach you a lesson. it will sure other people will make sure that other people know that they can't get with doing that in the locality, but it help to freshen up it will also help to freshen up local make them look local areas and make them look attractive everybody that attractive for everybody that lives that. yeah, absolutely. attractive for everybody that livesthink yeah, absolutely. attractive for everybody that livesthink that 1, absolutely. attractive for everybody that livesthink that it absolutely. attractive for everybody that livesthink that it might tely. attractive for everybody that livesthink that it might actually and think that it might actually be labour have spoken be a good labour have spoken in the about restorative the past about restorative justice that stuff. justice and all of that stuff. this be another way of this could be another way of doing community can doing it. if the community can see people who've just see that the people who've just tipped washing out on their tipped a washing out on their driveway are actually the ones cleaning it be a good cleaning up. it could be a good thing it could be. and we thing yeah, it could be. and we and way, i just couldn't and by the way, i just couldn't

the of the justice secretary, of course, justice for. course, the shadow justice for. secretary yes but yeah. when it comes things like this on comes to things like this on crime that labour crime we know that labour traditionally historic early they've the they've been weak the conservatives mantra conservatives have kept mantra when crime the when it comes to crime in the economy labour when it economy labour labour when it comes to things the nhs. comes to things like the nhs. this is where labour is keen to claw some ground back and so we're hearing lot of phrases like on crime, tough like tough on crime, tough on the of and this the causes of crime and this kind reforms to not just not just things like this, but also generally the justice system they're looking at this kind of trauma focussed justice system that say they'll bring, that they say they'll bring, they'll we look they'll change the way we look at how those who offend are punished and also they're rehabilitated. yeah, it's fascinating . paul, thank you fascinating. paul, thank you very, very much. paul hawkins , very, very much. paul hawkins, our national reporter who did speak reed earlier on the speak to reed earlier on the shot of justice six. you're with me now . okay. and is a lady me now. okay. and this is a lady got some personal impact stories of fly—tipping . it's a reality of fly—tipping. it's a reality tv star. commentator it's nannder tv star. commentator it's narinder kaur and orinda . thank narinder kaur and orinda. thank you very much. now, i understand you very much. now, i understand

you actually have some issues with fly—tipped at the moment, do you ? yeah. so where i live in do you? yeah. so where i live in london and thankfully i'm on the third floor because the first floor actually got racks. now and then every day you walk out. yeah. everyday you walk out, you go down to support, you have a base and you'll find a sofa and a washing chairs. oh a washing machine chairs. oh yeah. you. a washing machine chairs. oh yeah. you . so wait, yeah. there you. so wait, secretary. and inside. so secretary. there and inside. so thatis secretary. there and inside. so that is does outs on where you live now if people are listening on radio to be honest with you it i mean it's the opposite it does i mean it's the opposite respect it looks like a tape because people have just dumped of been of their rubbish has been there's inside there's there's just bad inside there's hardware and carry hardware also school and carry on attached it that's look on attached to it that's look that's just that side there was another side that's got the food service actually people service that actually people just as so just dump food as well. so that's first floor of our that's why first floor of our flats i'm the third floor flats, i'm on the third floor have rats and you know we're have got rats and you know we're to not the rats and that's because people are doing and this is in north london and no one's picking up the council aren't coming no one is picking up because they don't know who's

doing it could be in the middle of the night as as what steve read saying is how do we catch these how do know we these people. how do we know we just they're coming in the middle the night once middle of the night and once it's up, guess what, it's cleared up, guess what, patrick? load of rubbish patrick? a new load of rubbish get what do you get stuck there. what do you say? you live in london? paul hawkins was just to him hawkins was just next to him a second and he was showing me second ago and he was showing me that london is the that stat that london is the most so you're in most affected area. so you're in you're the fly—tipping you're in the fly—tipping hotspot. i've got to ask you to read it, because if this was me, i'd be this a lot about the i'd be this is a lot about the kind of i am. okay not all kind of guy i am. okay not all of it good. i've been out of it is good. i've been out there the dead of night, there in the dead of night, waiting for to come, and waiting for them to come, and i would on i filming would probably on and i filming it putting on the internet it and putting on the internet or maybe armed. what are or maybe even armed. what are you about it? yeah you doing about it? yeah actually who actually what my husband who does a bit like you. does get he's a bit like you. you just he's like out the balcony trying to look with this. is you don't this. the problem is you don't give at some point. you don't even hear them sometimes. and even hear them sometimes. and even video even if you do get video footage, how do you know who they even you've got they all? and even if you've got a plate, guess a registration plate, guess what? are police to what? what are police going to do the registration break?

do about the registration break? we them. yeah yeah, we can't catch them. yeah yeah, exactly. so let's just. you managed to snare one of these pesky scumbag flight episode. okay. what punishment should they get is just cleaning it up for you or do you want them tarred and, feathered? no, i don't want them to do that because i think are agree. you know what, if you've jumped clearer up, we take our the problem is i think it's the fees that when you go to the tips and charge a fee so i think maybe the fees for commercial waste and people would go there and do appropriate leave. but the appropriate leave. but at the moment, patrick, we're not going appropriate leave. but at the m

this is i think you just show you are actually as hard as a very reasonable individual because i would not settle for them just cleaning it up i would want in pot of cleaning want it's in a pot of cleaning up patrick i end up cleaning some of the stuff, especially the i end up and the food wrappers i end up and people's they just people's recycling. they just leave i put away leave it out. so i put away people's rubbish. why am i to do people's rubbish. why am ito do it? no, you know. yeah you shouldn't. you shouldn't have to do been to. thank you do that. been to. thank you very much. is reality much. i mean to that is reality tv and commentator that tv star and commentator that i've to honest i mean i've got to be honest i mean patrick christys britain the patrick christys britain by the way a bleak place way it's quite a bleak place jets you should be aware jets which you should be aware that people do indicate on roundabouts site. okay roundabouts shot on site. okay i suppose .i roundabouts shot on site. okay i suppose . i mean suppose fly—tipped. i mean goodness only knows put them in the stocks odds i'd love rotten veg at them. all of that stuff. but you know they say that we're not living a mediaeval society anymore and i need to get with the are moving on. the times we are moving on. members unite the union members of the unite the union are employed by various ambulance the west ambulance trusts in the west midlands, striking can midlands, all striking now. can i about the bodies when i just say about the bodies when all striking it was all started striking it was headune all started striking it was headline it was headline news, wasn't it? it was massive. was on the front of. massive. it was on the front of. all the papers and everyone

really, really cared about it. now see another is it now i see another strike. is it off yeah, well, people or off again? yeah, well, people or people is that people don't get care. is that right? the strikes also right? anyway, the strikes also follow announcement follow an announcement last evening that. the royal college of has decided to of nursing has decided to escalate their strike action after government refused to engage negotiation over pay. engage in negotiation over pay. they are going to two days on they are going to do two days on the bounce so, you know people who surely get chemotherapy, who surely to get chemotherapy, etc, that i don't etc, just remember that i don't forget this. i'll show you what ehhen forget this. i'll show you what either. just remember what of these drawings are first announced and especially the health care ones especially the nurses strikes. don't worry, don't in tennessee care don't worry. in tennessee care is going to affected. is not going to be affected. don't care's not don't worry. cancer care's not going to be affected. top priorities can not really it when isn't , it is because when it is isn't, it is because they don't they want now they don't what they want now two days back to back. well happens to that anyway. joining me now is our gb news westminster reporter is john carson. john, where you? carson. john, where are you? what's going ? well, good . what's going? well, good. patrick, i'm here in dudley at the ambulance station. here where. here in the west midlands. a thousand members of

, the west midlands ambulance service have gone on strike once again over pay and conditions. i'm joined by unite the regional officer, sue lo. sue how are your members feeling ? they take your members feeling? they take industrial action once again. i think they're more determined than ever. they're asking the negotiation is they that this is their only option to . push for their only option to. push for that negotiation at. the end of the day, that's what our ballot was about. they determined that they're looking after each other, which is what it's all about. and they're very well supported the public. so supported by the public. so they're feeling okay. they're cross , they're disappointed in cross, they're disappointed in the government, but let's see what the government haven't come to the to the table. they haven't started. why do you think that is? we have no idea. it's so it's unusual. if you're the fire brigade, you get to negotiate. and if the if you're the train's unions get a negotiation, the least you can expect is a negotiation most times when you have a dispute with an employer they try and resolve it. this employer, this

government seem to want to resolve this and we don't understand that all doing all these members are doing asking for the government to talk to us. that's all we want is to talk to them about the reality of what's in the nhs at the moment . but of what's in the nhs at the moment. but as a union you do have you have demands. of course you're not over, over nothing you're not over, over nothing you want pay conditions. you want pay better conditions. what's reality for people out here that strike some day as they work on the front line so we haven't put a percentage on demands if you like. what we've said is we want the negotiation want to talk about what's required because it's not just about pay , it's about safe about pay, it's about safe staffing, it's about and training staff . it's about how training staff. it's about how we stop people from leaving the nhs . it's we stop people from leaving the nhs. it's like the we stop people from leaving the nhs . it's like the floodgates nhs. it's like the floodgates have opened . so it's an have opened. so it's an interesting conversation that we want. so it's got to be hard, it's got to be more than a percentage that's the way we look at it. so my members point of view, that's, that's our duty. that's what they're asking to ask. that's what was the ballot and that's we're

ballot paper and that's we're doing so we do that . we are doing so we do that. we are covering and we do our negotiation with our local employers. we cover in vital services but we've got to push harder and we've got to make the government here that we need more than pay. i think one of the things that's clear to us is that last the bottom to have an emergency uplift because was low went lower than the national minimum wage that's going to happen this april. so our bottom twos will be on lower than the new national minimum wage come 1st of april. if government don't do something about it. and we don't think the government are doing anything about that . are doing anything about that. so thank you very much for joining me this afternoon. that's situation here as you that's the situation here as you heard that ambulance go by have still responding to one still been responding to one calls. unless the government calls. but unless the government comes this negotiation union and these members of the ambulance service don't really don't really know where this is going to go in their action will continue. all right, jack , thank

continue. all right, jack, thank you very much. john castle in gb news, westminster reporter i'm just reading out. that's now ambulance have ambulance staff have been offered pay increase by the offered a 4% pay increase by the government which would equal 4000 quid per head. didn't 4000 quid per head. they didn't put on it, the put a percentage on it, the ambulance they ambulance workers, but they wanted with wanted something in line with inflation, stood at inflation, which as it stood at the was 10.7. so there's the time was 10.7. so there's been negotiation. it's just there on wrong side of it. lots more come in next hour, more to come in the next hour, though. all still it to though. yes, we all still it to harry now as to harry and meghan now as to whether. afternoon. i'm whether. good afternoon. i'm alex deakin and this is your latest weather from the latest weather update from the met saturday promises met office saturday promises lighter today lighter winds compared today as storm pulls away most of us storm otto pulls away most of us will have a dry day and for most of us it'll be pretty mild. there is storm otto hitting denmark pretty hard through friday evening . there is another friday evening. there is another low falling on behind. but one is nowhere near as intense . will is nowhere near as intense. will be bringing outbreaks of rain through northern ireland through the to northern ireland and to scotland and it will bnng and to scotland and it will bring some snowfall over the hills of scotland through parts of grampians and the of the grampians and the highlands some highlands particular. some of the routes here could see the higher routes here could see a centimetres snow mostly a few centimetres of snow mostly rain levels, but could be

rain at low levels, but could be icy as well as temperatures fall down close to or touch below freezing for the south. we a long way from any ice and a very mild night here with temperatures starting the weekend. it ten or 11 celsius a bit damp thing for south wales and southwest that rain should peter out staying fairly dank and drizzly through central scotland and northern parts of ireland. northern scotland much brighter and certainly the winds a lot lighter than today, a bit breezy elsewhere , but again, breezy elsewhere, but again, generally cloudy, some brighter spells and really mild. 14, 15 degrees with a bit of sunshine feeling quite chilly. i suspect that through the central belt, six or seven at best here with the rain and drizzle which is likely to pop up again through saturday evening, could bring a bit more hill snow for a time . bit more hill snow for a time. but fizzles out since leads but that fizzles out since leads to most places starting sun dned to most places starting sun dried , the main exception will dried, the main exception will again be northwest scotland, where the winds start to pick up dunng where the winds start to pick up during day. further rain coming in here , some rain through the

these are not normal circumstances . normally, these are not normal circumstances. normally, i these are not normal circumstances . normally, i would circumstances. normally, i would extend a hand of a certain amount of sympathy no way off to the way they behave . i mean, the the way they behave. i mean, the fact of the matter , they need to fact of the matter, they need to be taken down. and this is this way of doing it. if you like south park, if you the facts are they are entitled . and that is they are entitled. and that is they are entitled. and that is the aspect to them that nobody dares laugh, that is the truth. the sort thing they make all their money out of the royal family. and of course, as you know from beginning of december, breaking for christmas and, then subsequently back in january attack, attack, attack , war on attack, attack, attack, war on the royal family. so i'm there's no sympathy for . and meghan no sympathy for. and meghan markle was exposing this bear in mind that she of course for a long time in canada spent a of time in america. and you would have that that audience. that's what we were told archie what we were told it. archie meghan's popular meghan is popular . richard, meghan's popular meghan is popular. richard, i'm going to have to ask you to stay there.

i'm i've been told i'm because i've just been told i've go to some breaking i've got to go to some breaking news, sorry about that. news, richard. sorry about that. we five police officers we have five police officers have not guilty have pleaded not guilty to second degree murder tyler second degree murder of tyler nichols last month. nichols in memphis last month. i we can go live now to memphis . we can go live now to memphis. his speaking outside his family is speaking outside court court . it his family is speaking outside court court. it was just a few minutes away for a couple of the media representatives . media representatives. yeah, okay. look, sorry about that. yeah, okay. look, sorry about that . and gentlemen, they have that. and gentlemen, they have not started actually talking as i think, which would have been nice if they would have known that. officers have that. but five officers have pleaded not guilty to the murder of . 29 year pleaded not guilty to the murder of. 29 year old pleaded not guilty to the murder of . 29 year old tyler nichols pleaded not guilty to the murder of. 29 year old tyler nichols . of. 29 year old tyler nichols. this is, of course, the five former memphis police in this case really, i think, highlighted lot of stuff in the wake of the george floyd case and other others and a little bit like, well, video footage by police body cams , tv cameras,

police body cams, tv cameras, etc, showed mr. nichols, who is for what is worth , a black man. for what is worth, a black man. and by the way , race of everyone and by the way, race of everyone involved . this is relevant for involved. this is relevant for reasons i'm going to go on to was beaten by officers and this was beaten by officers and this was following a traffic he did sadly died from his injuries. the case initially was was we cold. okay this is a classic of american police brutality. this was the clamour and we all know the outrage. of course that greeted the case of george floyd. well, the people you have to have people who have actually pleaded not guilty now. and it's interesting to note as well, the officers who were involved in this case, they pleaded not guilty is five officers. they are black as well , which guilty is five officers. they are black as well, which i think has done a bit to dampen the idea race in america. but we'll go back to the us in a little bit. i am going to go back now to the that we were leading the hour with and that of course, the meghan and harry stuff and i do believe that we still have royal richard with us so we royal now richard with us so we will go back to that now i think

ladies and gentlemen, if we can get to you all. get richard back up to you all. sorry about richard. sorry about that, richard. there's bit a drama there's a little bit of a drama that for a second, but we're back now and so we were talking about the south park episode, and just get that and i think we'll just get that drop off. so talking drop off. yep. so we're talking about south episode where about south park episode where harry course. harry and meghan, of course. what they essentially taken apart american and saturates. apart by american and saturates. and of things that stood and one of the things that stood out for me, richard, was way and one of the things that stood out 1meghan ichard, was way and one of the things that stood out 1meghan was'd, was way and one of the things that stood out 1meghan was basically way and one of the things that stood out 1meghan was basically seen' that meghan was basically seen as, quite vacuous. there one as, quite vacuous. there was one situation now harry looked situation now where harry looked into and found into her mouth and found absolutely nothing inside of it. what into that? what do you read into that? well, mean, south park , as well, i mean, south park, as we've said, is pretty cruel land. of course, this , quite land. of course, this, quite frankly , i've never thought frankly, i've never thought meghan was matthew to calculate aspect to her. but if you want to laugh at someone you produce a memoir or a memoir called spare, it's called why in south park because, you know well, the memoir i view described penile frostbite in the detail he does and then you also talk about

experimenting with which involves talking to the lid of a dustbin and a somewhat memorably and then of course there's losing your virginity and also the comments that he made about that to be taken seriously after that to be taken seriously after thatis that to be taken seriously after that is a bit difficult, you know. well, it is indeed , know. well, it is indeed, actually. and it is, i think the hypocrisy over in this south park episode, that same flying private jets everywhere, they're on world wide privacy , which is on world wide privacy, which is fantastic . and the level of fantastic. and the level of detail that south park has into this, even matching up pictures of meghan and k into a cartoon form and everything . i just form and everything. i just think richard that maybe this is it for them now . one earth day, it for them now. one earth day, harry and meghan do next. there's talk of them potentially even deciding they're going to junk the western world and. they're going to go and live in africa. how long before they alienate continent as well alienate that continent as well well? i think that one thing because i would thought that they were pretty in america in they were pretty in america in the popularity certainly, the popularity, certainly, i would substantial for oprah.

would say substantial for oprah. but you are correct , would say substantial for oprah. but you are correct, in would say substantial for oprah. but you are correct , in the last but you are correct, in the last poll we've just seen from newsweek, harry was down 45 points and meghan 36 points. so thatis points and meghan 36 points. so that is true. we need to see further polls first confirm that they do outside we do worry about they will last oprah winfrey's last birthday by reports the point also is this of entitlement and the i would give them i remember barry humphries famously dame edna creation dame edna everage said to the novelist lord archer , if to the novelist lord archer, if you can't laugh at yourself , you can't laugh at yourself, you're missing the joke of the century . so maybe they should century. so maybe they should have a bit of looking in the mirror laughing mean i wonder what the what they're going to say about this and i wonder what they're going to say about this because i think have been because i think they have been living bubble. they've living in this bubble. they've been getting terrible advice. absolutely advice. absolutely terrible advice. and i've wonderful i've been asking our wonderful now wonderful listeners as well to touch this. what do to get in touch on this. what do you ladies and gentlemen, you think, ladies and gentlemen,

is and is the worst about harry and meghan and views have not meghan and the views have not disappointed a lot them disappointed and a lot of them centre idea that they centre around the idea that they perhaps made the queen prince philip's lives miserable towards the end and also as well. this is an interesting one from paul. she says one of the worst things about it is the fact the it appears as though in palsy that meghan is as played harry like a fiddle. do you think harry is in a state of deep regret or is he still in denial? oh, no even though i think that the visit to each other, i certainly doesn't think that was any regret, i think that was any regret, i think that was any regret, i think that harry sees the royals as trapped. i think they're off to some form of apology they want start a meeting before want to start a meeting before the . i'm afraid the coronation but. i'm afraid a lot of us and some of us have been watching this with horror. for some and some of us are some people are just beginning to realise these are a very, very many putative couple and are extremely entitled. they on all of our all our work on the royal family and yes they made the

queen's last period with us extremely difficult i think they behaved disgracefully quite frankly with some of these with that remember i should never have come out it was not necessary if you rubbish around in public then i think the world makes its mind up about you and that can change minds. makes its mind up about you and that can change minds . and that can change minds. and that's what seems to be happening . the united states. happening. the united states. yeah agree completely some standout ones there is that basically the same people do not about you we do not want to know you any more and that they just whingeing and whingeing from a position of massive privilege . position of massive privilege. nobody seems care about them stateside at a conference and poked fun at them and he loves to say it. richard, thank you very much. thanks for hanging over that particular interlude that rich if it's there's a who is a royal commentator reacting to desperately to the i mean, the desperately sad desperately sad sad news, the desperately sad news and meghan are news that. harry and meghan are now an international laughing and that memoir has been and that harry's memoir has been nicknamed it just is nicknamed where which it just is great. of course you can check

out netflix series little out their netflix series little bang on about 2 hours in right. moving london will turn moving on london will be turn dust. that's according to vladimir chief vladimir putin's chief propagandist another vladimir this time a solovyov now he made the comments relation to reports that ukraine prepared to use british missiles right so it's part of i so saw this last night i thought i've got to play this out because they've gone full. tonto on this is talking about oh well if you don't care about the loss of then we the loss of russian, then we don't about the loss don't care about the loss of youn don't care about the loss of your. well, didn't invade your. well, we didn't invade ukraine. same. well, the ukraine. did the same. well, the brits are helping them look at them they're them. how them they're helping them. how dare what do dare they. here's what we'll do to i believe we've got to you. so i believe we've got a little clip of someone who's definitely complete the sign up . brock bright. it's a london elementary school. the things tell the flames that all your hard over oh oh no okay i mean he actually looks on sounds like a bond but if they are saying kind of stuff i can remember

when kim jong un you know little rocket man started really low budget about flying weapons warheads into the white house and what happened that was all trump went to meet him but for two thirds of time. people were like, well actually, this guy's so unhinged, he might mean it i are to see the start of are we about to see the start of war that man i argue, war three and that man i argue, is probably pretty i'm is probably pretty unhinged. i'm benjamin lawton joins me benjamin lawton and joins me now. a man who was not unhinged research research fellow research at the research fellow at no, i was looking at the group. no, i was looking at the group. no, i was looking at and i was thinking at this now and i was thinking that is going to that guy in london is going to be turning we're to be turning to we're going to burn in and all this stuff. burn in hell and all this stuff. should we just stick it to him, be done with it? we well, it's important note difference important to note the difference between of media and between the sort of media and machismo get from that machismo that you get from that certain certainly in certain broadcast certainly in russia appeals to think russia which appeals to i think the public it would the is in that public it would be another thing entirely if we to see vladimir putin come out and say then you might actually worry were saying with worry as you were saying with kim un's that a kim jong un's that doing a similar thing. but i think, you know, you have to let the russian media place the sensibilities of the especially at like now when they are

at a time like now when they are feeling threatened or backed into a corner, you know what i think it is as well, benjamin. i think it is as well, benjamin. i think there's a lot of people out there right now when zelenskyy came like an zelenskyy came over like an absolute star, rattling the absolute rock star, rattling the can please give a can and going, please give me a chance. thanked us chance. he actually thanked us for in advance for the jets in advance and we're giving to him. we're not giving them to him. and then he went on our international can rattling all around union doing around the european union doing something and something quite similar and think like this think that what with like this what and mouthpiece what putin and his mouthpiece trying possibly to try trying to do is possibly to try scare and get to us pump even scare us and get to us pump even more resources into that ukrainian conflict . but it works ukrainian conflict. but it works . some voices on twitter now. benjamin is saying in response to that video, well , say it, to that video, well, say it, we've got it, we've got it. we've got to send in your views on that. yeah, it's i mean, you know we've got to draw the line somewhere we obviously somewhere haven't. we obviously providing missiles providing support with missiles and whatever and air support and whatever else thing. another else is one thing. it's another thing british thing actually have british troops russia and troops in russia. and that would, i think, somewhat too would, i think, be somewhat too far. you know it's what you far. but you know it's what you need to expect if you provide support to zelenskyy you're going to get the russian media

kicking back at and saying, kicking back at us and saying, oh, the british coming to help ukraine at this time, how dare we're going to london. we're going do this. but look, i remember too not ago when we discussed the problems and we said nuke paris. but, you know, as media that it's that you create a farce. you talk about these things. but if you're an elected leader, you don't do the same thing. and thankfully, i think fallen today, think putin has fallen today, anything that , just going anything like that, just going to just slightly qualify a that's the wonderful thing that sadly the upshot of a conversation that we had in jest about some potential conflict with the french over if we remember rightly i think the scallop balls that was taking place interesting place was interesting a conversation nuking paris certainly nothing was ever decided as a result of that. and we are nowhere near the red button, which i think is great. but yes, just finally on this one, benjamin, do you think now what shows the what this shows is that the russians are getting desperate, that actually that what we're is actually working. the people working. should the people of london indeed in the london or indeed anywhere in the uk this wonderful

uk sitting back this wonderful friday afternoon into the evening , just go look, i'm going evening, just go look, i'm going to go down to the pub as normal. i am not going to turned into i am not going to be turned into dust. yeah i don't think you should take seriously, which should take it seriously, which is the point was is exactly what the point i was making we when we had making was when we when we had our conversation we are nowhere near the red button. was near the red button. it was absolutely think absolutely in jest. and i think absolutely in jest. and i think a similar thing with the russian media that kicking in that making of hullabaloo media that kicking in that maiend of hullabaloo media that kicking in that maiend of of hullabaloo media that kicking in that maiend of thef hullabaloo media that kicking in that maiend of the dayllabaloo media that kicking in that maiend of the dayllabalocnot the end of the day they're not the end of the day they're not the ones who make these decisions. so, you know, go your life all right, life as you are. yeah all right, benjamin, thank you very much. and we nuking paris and we not be nuking paris together. just make very clear again, our again, benjamin. not now. in our research the bio research fellow at the bio group. i just to highlight group. yeah, i just to highlight that to you because that clip stood to me last night and stood out to me last night and i thought, goodness gracious me, you've russian chap you've got some russian chap there, burn, and there, lord, burn, burn and expose it seriously. expose to take it seriously. anyway, with me, patrick anyway, you're with me, patrick christys news. after christys on gb news. now, after the stuff. are the break, beautiful stuff. are you it strike again? mid—june you it on strike again? mid—june the last they on the last time they went on strike got to the strike and everyone got to the quicker. didn't quicker. yeah and we didn't actually massive actually have any massive security issues. no quite a lot have been getting in as well. it's looks as though

it's tell me it looks as though given what's in channel given what's in the channel they've for they've been on strike for rather as well. we'll rather long time as well. we'll get right into that, get stuck right into that, though. do we actually need those border force staff that also i'm going an update also i'm going to have an update on kent port town on that from the kent port town and going on. it's and will keep going on. it's harry meghan so your harry and meghan so get your views gbviews@gbnews.uk. views in gbviews@gbnews.uk. they've absolutely panned they've been absolutely panned stateside have turned stateside. americans have turned against a bad day out against them. it's a bad day out for harry and meghan, but you, what's worst thing about? what's the worst thing about? them it coming them gbviews@gbnews.uk it coming people .

talk to people we speak a lot about strikes and i am think along with the rest of the nation. absolutely flipping sick of it but border force workers, well they're back staging fresh walkouts now they're talking about conditions of wages and pensions what is fascinating is if you look at a lot of public sector workers, not including force by the way, but

force and this, by the way, but the pensions absolutely the pensions are absolutely staggering. contribution the pensions are absolutely staggeri pension contribution the pensions are absolutely staggeri pension couldyution the pensions are absolutely staggeri pension could be on the pensions are absolutely staggeri pension could be around towards pension could be around 23, 24% in some cases. if you bumped the average wage, for example, of nurse by checking it out the pension and doing that, that would make more. a lot of people are saying it would make a lot sense than actually just giving even more of a pay rise out of the taxpayer's purse. but members and members of the public and commercial union, both commercial services union, both in and front staging in dover and front a staging industrial action over the weekend. there is lazy joke to be made about who taught who how to strike properly there, but i won't make that joke. i'm better than the common on the action. general marx of vodka said ministers say their priority is security . obviously it isn't. we security. obviously it isn't. we can go now to get the latest from dover where gb news is south—east of england. reporter is ray addison right? what's going on? strike strike. strike . yeah. hi, patrick. i've stepped away from the picket line here in dover because. it

actually closed at about 2:00 this afternoon. the men packed up and went off somewhere else, and then, of course, there's three more days of strike action to take place, though it's going to take place, though it's going to be happening across the we can do that into monday as well. and these aren't just short hours strikes, you know, eight or 12 hours. this is a tough four hour strike every day for the four days that it's taking place. now, of course , earlier place. now, of course, earlier on when i was reporting into gb news, i was explaining that the traffic has been moving freely in and out of the port and they've actually been no reports of any delays , particularly with of any delays, particularly with p&o ferries. i think you can see one of the ferries there behind , me at the terminal here in dover , no delays at all now that dover, no delays at all now that slightly changed now p&o is reporting that there are delays of around 40 minutes on some services just, some services from to dover and around 30 minutes from dover to calais. perhaps the effect of these strikes are starting to be felt

a little bit more now mean that's perhaps not surprising. there are . around 1000 members there are. around 1000 members of the border taking part in this action. now, these are the people who check your passport they scan your luggage . and if they scan your luggage. and if you're in the haulage game, they check the freight that you'll as well. now when i was chatting to some of the men that were manning the picket line on, they were saying that from what they're seeing, some of the checks that they normally do are being carried out to the same extent . and they're saying that extent. and they're saying that that's for these times, speeding and these improvements in duration . should you remember duration. should you remember that the strikes that took place last year we actually saw at the airports , the people were airports, the people were getting through immigration and customs. a lot more speedily than they were previously as the army were brought in. and they say, well, if you don't do the same of checks to the same level, then that inevitable.

they also saying that in this case the office is doing a case the home office is doing a little bit of smoke and little bit of a smoke and mirrors trick. obviously you can't place armed forces can't place british armed forces in france to do the job at the border workers. so what they've doneis border workers. so what they've done is they've sent uk border force workers to france to do those jobs and then they've moved people , the airports, moved people, the airports, border force officials , the border force officials, the airports here to dover and another ports as well . another ports as well. meanwhile, the armed forces are now manning airports like stanstead in stafford. now, in terms of what the us is after they they had a 2% pay rise imposed on them last year in around june time they want that to be 10, they want a 10% pay rise, they want every one of their workers be earning a minimum of around their workers be earning a minimum of aroun d £15 an hour. minimum of around £15 an hour. and they say the government is actually taking advantage of that. actually taking advantage of that . and some of them really that. and some of them really having to choose between that phrase heating and eating . they phrase heating and eating. they say if you have had your travel disrupted, you should be blaming

the government. you should be venting your frustration at them . but these strikes are set . . but these strikes are set. continue until they say that demands are met. right you very, very much, ray anderson , who is very much, ray anderson, who is our south—east of england reporter. i mean, there does appear to be easy solution, doesn't that? i cannot the only person who has come up with this solution, if you are stuck on the other side of the channel now and the border force is a nightmare you can't get through. that's all right. get yourself a dinghy. get across now. how long did i do in the end? oh, well, i still own, apparently right now. but there we go. i did. i did. i do like. okay. all right. let's just take ray's microphone down anyway with podcast on gb anyway, with me, podcast on gb news. i'm going to delve into the of inbox now the world of the inbox now gbviews@gbnews.uk uk because i have been asking you a story that be returning that were going to be returning to the course of this to throughout the course of this show. have show. harry and meghan have absolutely upset and absolutely upset stateside. and you love to say, i've been asking what you the asking you what you think the thing and meghan has thing about harry and meghan has actually exposed actually been they were exposed essentially what i think really

gb news say what the bbc licence fee topic has got you all very hot under the it would appear anyway that top brass have been gloating about the idea that despite the that they're essentially forcing people to pay essentially forcing people to pay people to do they can't believe what success they've had. well, you know what to do next, ladies and gentlemen. but before stuck right into before we get stuck right into that. going talking that. i'm going to be talking about topic that today the about a topic that today the prime and the northern prime minister and the northern ireland with ireland secretary met with leaders political in leaders of political parties in to post—brexit to northern ireland post—brexit trading arrangements . hopes trading arrangements. hopes a deal the eu and the uk deal between the eu and the uk could be struck. now controversial. this when people

hear the words northern protocol, they do tend fall asleep. but i'm here to tell you that there is more to it than that there is more to it than that because according to the sinn fein leader, mary lou mcdonnell, the chance of a northern protocol deal, northern ireland protocol deal, a significant there's a very significant there's a very significant breakthrough. this as the northern ireland assembly hasn't met since summer last year after the dup protested over post trading arrangements. look essentially as far as i could see without shots being fired , the eu shots being fired, the eu decided that they could come over here and pinch bit of our sovereign territory. so can we get a deal over the line and a deal that respects our national integrity? joining me now is dup mp east antrim. it's sammy wilson . thank you very much. wilson. thank you very much. great to have you on the show. so what is going on that has the eu essentially trying to conquer of on the back door? is that continuing ? well, of course , eu continuing? well, of course, eu made it quite clear that the of brexit would be that they would have northern ireland removed from the rest of the united kingdom and. they they met

kingdom and. they did. they met the for that the the mechanism for that was the protocol because of course northern ireland, while the united kingdom has left the eu , united kingdom has left the eu, northern ireland has within the single market law so made for this part of the united kingdom in brussels they have . the in brussels they have. the ladies and gentlemen, this is deemed to be a massively controversial issue when people voted for brexit. i know that the vast majority of people in northern didn't. but this is the way that referenda work, isn't it? i don't think that the people who voted for brexit realistically little realistically voted for a little to the united kingdom to be syphoned off and handed over pretty being pretty much without shot being fine. to the fine. as i've said to the european union, a little bit of a point that as well. doesn't a point on that as well. doesn't it the kind people that it show the kind of people that we up against? doesn't it we were up against? doesn't it show that we show the kind people that we were to negotiate against were trying to negotiate against so that decided what if so that decided the oh, what if you leave? we will do you voted leave? we will do everything that possibly can everything that we possibly can try things as difficult try and make things as difficult as leave as possible. you and we'll leave and essentially try to land. grab your territory .

grab some of your territory. that i exposes a lot of that i think exposes a lot of what the european union was all about. but there have been a couple of big topics i'm going to hit for you a little bit later on. i'm going to tease onto something a bit unusual friday after all. so friday after all. okay so a little later on this hour, little bit later on this hour, i am going to be interviewing live here on news, actual star here on gb news, an actual star that's here. i thought that's right here. i thought it highlights gentlemen highlights and gentlemen thought we did a gb news poll and quite often there's dancing joke often there's pole dancing joke in but i will in there somewhere, but i will not okay. is not make it. okay. this is a show, so get your minds out of gutter. all right? and so we did a gb news poll, and normally we do on high brow do them on quite high brow things. like, do you make things. like, what do you make of for example who would of brexit, for example who would you next election? you vote for the next election? i decided to do it i would just we decided to do it on material online and on adult material online and child controls that. but yes, child controls on that. but yes, a lot of people find adult material empowering the material empowering for the aduu material empowering for the adult say adult actors. other people say actually just and it actually this is just and it should be illegal. so we will talk to individual about of talk to individual about all of the boxes fire today though the in boxes fire today though from a topic that i was leading away with which is on harry and meghan so just battered

meghan getting so just battered really by the americans when it comes to south park so if you haven't seen it anyway we've got clips of this. we're going to be playing a little bit later on. and meghan, who, of and harry and meghan, who, of course go and find course wanted to go and find their freedom find that their freedom and find that privacy. they were staking a lot of claim on the that they of claim on the fact that they were popular in america but are not it is not over here. and it is essentially revealed through the medium park, which a medium of south park, which is a cartoon would recommend cartoon show. i would recommend will that as will watch that they are as equally unpopular america equally as unpopular in america as are over here. and i've as they are over here. and i've been as well, what been asking guys as well, what do think worst thing do you think the worst thing about meghan is that about harry and meghan is that being having the mickey taken out them for, not wanting out of them for, not wanting privacy, privacy a lot privacy, wanting privacy a lot of people are saying that the worst for them anyway was that they as, though they made they feel as, though they made all queen's life miserable in the yeah, a a lot of the end and yeah, a lot a lot of you as well jeff has said, you as well like jeff has said, the thing is both of the worst thing is that both of them they were more them that they were more important the institution important than the institution of family, is of the royal family, which is existed 1000 years. existed for almost 1000 years. you as well supposedly you know this as well supposedly harry meghan are aware of, harry and meghan are aware of, the fact that tanking in the

polls here, that in polls over here, that tanking in the stateside, you know the poll stateside, you know where going to next. where they're going to go next. apparently, how apparently, africa i mean, how long be before they tank long will it be before they tank in that, although in the polls over that, although at be fair, they probably at to be fair, they probably couldn't unconscious couldn't claim unconscious bias was they were was the reason why they were unpopular in africa. i believe we have sammy wilson who we have sammy wilson back who telling bit about the telling us a bit about the latest developments dupe latest developments he's a dupe mp east and sammy was mp for east antrim and sammy was mid before he got cut off mid flo before he got cut off telling all about basically telling us all about basically what that was a nasty lot the eu had been regarding northern ireland. have we got a break through? going on? through? sammy, what's going on? come us a ray of hope come on, give us a ray of hope in the this well, i don't in the dark. this well, i don't think the breakthrough think we have the breakthrough that been some that there has been some progress minor things progress made on minor things such the interruption of such as the interruption of trade between tb and northern ireland, though we don't know the exact details since we the exact details and since we haven't seen the text of anything, amazes me that anything, it amazes me that anybody come out and say anybody can come out and say we've, got a good deal and we've got a way. but one thing which is from it is any is missing from all of it is any discussion about the eu no longer having the ability to impose on northern ireland which

northern ireland politicians are . uk politicians have no say . . uk politicians have no say. those laws have to be implemented and they and the european court of justice ensure that they are not. that creates, first of all, a democratic deficit and all countries should have laws on it which they don't have laws on it which they don't have any say on. and secondly , have any say on. and secondly, it also splits us off the rest the united kingdom, because we will have eu law in northern ireland while the rest will have british law. now it can be dealt with and it doesn't appear to be deau with and it doesn't appear to be dealt with. so it's not that some would argue is borderline treason actually , paper would treason actually, paper would argue potentially even some kind of very, very soft acts of war. theidea of very, very soft acts of war. the idea that you just i mean, if we just want to accept bits of belgium , for goodness sake, of belgium, for goodness sake, and decided, oh, well, in belgium under our belgium is under our jurisdiction, then they've kick right although to be fair, right off, although to be fair, given some given the track record, some people continent, we people on the continent, we don't what they don't know exactly what they would do it, something would do about it, but something if decide that

if rishi sunak does decide that some kind of deal, that means that the fair people of northern ireland are still essentially the mercy of brussels. if he decides that's a good idea as he betrayed britain . well, i think betrayed britain. well, i think first of all, he can no longer claim to be a conservative unionist prime minister and secondly, he has to explain to the people of the united kingdom why is happy to hand over a part of the united kingdom and leave and as a colony of the eu? and don't forget, i mean the impact of this. so far has been barred economically in northern ireland. it encouraged those who want to break the union up and scotland . well, because they say scotland. well, because they say they the same benefits as they claim that northern ireland have i.e. to be able have european law rather than british law appued law rather than british law applied to them . and so i think applied to them. and so i think that there's a serious constitutional issue here that has to be addressed because it affects the whole of the united kingdom. and don't forget, some

of the eu, eu laws which will apply of the eu, eu laws which will apply in northern ireland will also impact on the on the united kingdom . let me give you one kingdom. let me give you one example. the chancellor can no longer and impose vat rates across the whole of the country. vat rates and northern ireland have to follow the eu rather than uk. so even very heart of the fiscal policy of the united kingdom , the eu still has the kingdom, the eu still has the ability to interfere through the protocol. yeah mean it is absolutely remarkable. we talk lot here don't we, about the fact that in the south coast of england seeing what suella england we're seeing what suella braverman regarded as an braverman is regarded as an invasion. there's been invasion. well there's been a very, subtle that has very, very subtle one that has taken place in northern ireland and that was taking by the and that was taking place by the european as say so are european union as say so are you. what's general mood like, though? because i be concerned if the vast majority of people in northern ireland didn't vote for is pretty for brexit to me is pretty straightforward , that maybe they straightforward, that maybe they wanted the eu anyway. wanted to stay in the eu anyway. would you respond to people who say, well, getting what they want, alignment with

want, they're in alignment with the there? the european union there? well, of people who about of course the people who about that quite happy to that are also quite happy to have all of the financial benefits of being part of the united . and since it was united kingdom. and since it was a uk wide referendum, then they have accept what people have to accept what the people of united kingdom decided as of the united kingdom decided as far as their relationship with foreign countries was concerned. the can't have it both ways. we want the fiscal benefits of being part of the union, but we want from the that the want to have from the that the rest of the united kingdom and have brussels ruling us. so, i mean , i think that that's my mean, i think that that's my answer that those who say, well northern ireland voted for the stay in the and the eu but they should also deal out of course that the protocol whether they they wanted the eu or whether they wanted the eu or whether they didn't want to leave the effects on me, i'm going to just because the signal is going to get i don't want to i don't want to repeat of the block out the way i had before. there we go. sammy wilson, that is us. he was the dup is the do you pay mp is

quite difficult to say actually from antrim ladies , from east antrim now ladies, gentlemen, we are going to give you the very latest on the nicola bully case shortly because a little bit because we've done a little bit a case that a summary. this is the case that has the nation from start to finish. it seemed unusual at the time and it's only continue to get more mysterious , get more and more mysterious, hasn't it? has been hasn't it? nicola has been missing now for three weeks and initially think people were very , i suppose, respectful. you could say respectful towards the way that the police that handung way that the police that handling it. the police adamant we don't think there's any third party involved and here we think there's certainly been a crime committed all and we are putting all of resources into all of our resources assets into searching specific stretch searching this specific stretch of the family came out of river the family came out initially and then we're doing that which not unusual they that which is not unusual they were please say were doing that please to say look nicola please please just were doing that please to say look ihome.)lease please just were doing that please to say look ihome. welle please just were doing that please to say look ihome. well since se just were doing that please to say look ihome. well since themt were doing that please to say look ihome. well since them we come home. well since them we have an independent dive team and that independent dive team said away that's said straight away if that's interesting before , they even interesting before, they even broke on the search for broke water on the search for nicola in that river the independent team we independent dive team said we don't here in expert

don't think she's here in expert opinions decade's of experience they're very similar missing persons case like this we don't that she's here but they went through the motions anyway the police conference police have a press conference after conference after after press conference after press conference facts, press conference and. the facts, i'm have changed. and if i'm afraid, have changed. and if they are proper facts , they they are proper facts, they shouldn't i know it's shouldn't change. i know it's a lot of investigation some of lot of investigation but some of the they were presenting lot of investigation but some of thethere's they were presenting lot of investigation but some of thethere's only were presenting lot of investigation but some of thethere's only a/ere presenting lot of investigation but some of thethere's only a ten presenting lot of investigation but some of thethere's only a ten minuteing as there's only a ten minute window that can't fill here window that we can't fill here for nicola bullet well, that window is supposedly anyway window is supposedly now anyway potentially as 2 potentially got as long as 2 hours. was only one key hours. there was only one key witness. they to speak. witness. they wanted to speak. then a then it turned out there were a few key witnesses. they wanted to speak to this. well, she's wearing which implied wearing a fitbit which implied that tell from her that they could tell from her fitbit, i got one, fitbit, which i haven't got one, but understand it, is but as i understand it, is a piece of technology tracks piece of technology that tracks your rate, etc. basically your heart rate, etc. basically where was when she went where she was when she went missing. apparently missing. now, apparently that wasn't i was only wasn't same set up. i was only one blind so we know one tv blind spot, so we know that couldn't have gone that she couldn't have gone anywhere well, supposedly. anywhere that well, supposedly. now there's three of them and it keeps and on keeps going on and on. on doesn't on latest round doesn't say on the latest round is that the police have now referred to watchdog and is referred to the watchdog and is because despite not sharing

vital information that would have in the views of the independent team changed where they were searching for nicola it would have changed their search for the police didn't say to them we know that the specific vulnerabilities that decided to tell the press about whether unfortunately appears to have had a drink problem and have had a drink problem and have suffering from things have had a drink problem and havequote suffering from things have had a drink problem and havequote unquote] from things have had a drink problem and havequote unquote eatingthings have had a drink problem and havequote unquote eating now.s like quote unquote eating now. so don't angry with me. that so don't get angry with me. that brain fog, the menopause , they brain fog, the menopause, they didn't tell the police that they a statement to the public the press got hold of it. people don't get to sell stories about nicola and then they've had to come out and reveal some of her most personal information is open the public as result, open to the public as result, the home secretary suella braverman has now got in touch with demand that the with them. demand that the police explain this concerning decision reveal intimate decision to reveal intimate about nicola his private life. lancashire police as i've they've referred themselves to they've referred themselves to the independent office for police conduct. i think up a wider question ladies and gentlemen , and that is how good gentlemen, and that is how good are police force generally are our police force generally we've seen that didn't out

we've seen that they didn't out with grooming scandal. with like the grooming scandal. we've they aren't we've seen that they aren't doing basic checks on members of staff who supposedly going staff who supposedly were going around of around in the case of wayne cousins around cousins etc. going around committing heinous of committing the most heinous of crimes, in plain sight as crimes, hiding in plain sight as an police officer, are an armed police officer, are they going to get to grips that? and now we've got another big case and police. well case here. and the police. well i mean, you all your i mean, you can all make your own minds the way handled own minds about the way handled it. is how the story of it. but here is how the story of missing unfolded missing nicola birley unfolded so appealing so far. police are appealing witnesses as they continue their search for a woman who's gone missing, lancashire while she was out walking, her dog called , nicola bailey, 45 year old mother of two, was last seen at around 9 am. on the morning of the 27th of january. her family are very concerned, as are we. are very concerned, as are we. my are very concerned, as are we. my whole focus is on two girls just staying as strong as i can for them knowing that her, two little girls are at home missing and knowing that mummy is missing is what's driving us forward. we've mounted a really

intensive operation to try and find nicola and we appeal for anyone to come forward . our main anyone to come forward. our main working hypothesis is that nicola is sadly fallen into the river is now been five nights. police do that they are keeping an open . we are just trying hold an open. we are just trying hold onto the hope we just can't make sense that this is actually happening and when we here are the parents of the lancashire mother nicola say they fear that someone has taken their daughter. the investigation is focusing on a ten minute window between ten and 9:20. it's unaccounted for, but he could have put the phone on the bench somewhere. he could have found it and put on the bench just on the nearest we don't know the nearest bench. we don't know this. knows this is a this. nobody knows this is a complete mystery. this whole thing cctv were thing is after new cctv were released from the day disappeared, detectives revealed polly was vulnerable classed , polly was vulnerable classed, high risk, undisclosed her issues with alcohol linked to struggles with the menopause . i struggles with the menopause. i still feel so sorry for them that it's been released this

should never have come out. they have just told us on the court it's not the place. it's just claims base where they went. this might these needs to answer of questions it just seems absolutely impossible every single scenario comes to a brick wall. all we're doing is saying they're going round around and round going through every and then go back to the first scenario again and the whole thing again. it'sjust all scenario again and the whole thing again. it's just all day long. that's all we're doing . long. that's all we're doing. well, that's where we are now. ladies and gentlemen, it comes to the latest on the nicola bailey case, lancashire police. they've referred themselves to an watchdog and home an independent watchdog and home secretary's even got involved it's been a bit of a shocker from start, as you all know, not yet finish. we'll bring you the latest single development. and there is another nicola case we will to you live right will bring to you live right here on gb news. but i wanted to delve into a story now that i think affects the vast majority of the vast majority of people

watching this right now and potentially listening to us, whichever way you are digesting gb news, i can't recommend them enough. got an app now go and look anyway so we've look on that. anyway so we've got as gb news got a shop as well. gb news shop. can buy merch you want shop. you can buy merch you want but i will my career in. but i will let my career in. telesales awaits obviously. but it's been reported the it's been reported that the director tim davie , director of the bbc tim davie, told staff that uk households are happy they're being forced to pay the licence free. in fact, he described it as truly amazing. i tell you what i think is truly amazing as well may i'll be honest with you, given some of the content on the bbc, how they do great stuff i love about a peaky and supposedly i've been getting emails in about apparently about happy valley apparently happy may i just happy is fantastic may i just gently nudge the gently nudge you in the direction of of that content direction of all of that content essentially doing pr for essentially doing the pr for shamima begum i the that shamima begum i the fact that itv decided to boost matt hancock's career . the bbc itv decided to boost matt hancock's career. the bbc is on to stump for baig , didn't i? but to stump for baig, didn't i? but yes , people are saying this yes, people are saying this a particularly awful situation where they're almost laughing at us that we are being made on pain of going to court , even

pain of going to court, even prison pay for the bbc prison to pay for the bbc licence fee in many cases. and they got so people they got that. so many people are it. and they also went on to say that. they've got better budgets than a lot of their competitors as well. and as despite bbc licence being despite the bbc licence being branded as regressive by some peers and a report by tory pay baroness stole , beeston baroness stole, beeston suggested that there were viable alternatives to the bbc public broadcasting model. oh, i don't know. take away the licence fee . try to stand on your own two feet commercially if you have good me now is good content. joining me now is former bbc dj is danny cowley. danny, your views the bbc licence they appear like they're a bit and in fact this is the that the warning allegedly from the boss at the bbc that was we don't want to seem like the cat with the cream but i mean it's got and that's how it looks isn't it . well, the rhetoric isn't it. well, the rhetoric awful and the damage may be irreparable. patrick some of the stuff, some of the bits i took his speech , his internal speech

his speech, his internal speech is besides the most households are pretty happy paying the licence. but i don't think anyone's happy about paying a compulsory tax. yes, you can accept that you've said yes you can believe that it represents good value for money. i don't think people actually sit down to the post office or in the old days anyway i 69 the days anyway i 69 over the counter with a massive smile on the bush. the one thing that i really took it is this is something that i believe the bbc have been guilty of for years . i have been guilty of for years. i spent 18 years at the bbc, patrick and i often said towards the end of my career at the bbc , that's progressive , diverse , that's progressive, diverse output trumps factual viewing or listening figures and he's actually said it himself . actually said it himself. finally, the cat with all the cream is out of the basket because he said some stuff. but the bbc need to make a profit on everything but what that tells you. that is code. when he says profit, he doesn't mean a profit because the bbc commercial arm is completely separate he was

talking about a success so he doesn't need to make a success of everything. i'm something that will really stick the crawl of commercial rivals. here's a great example of something that was not a success. well, but now is no longer because of diversity and box ticking. a question of sport . when they got question of sport. when they got rid of the host, sue barca three or four years ago, they've now lost 85% of the audience because it's of box tickers. you look at the panel okay, we've got someone from a paralympics , someone from a paralympics, we've got a black guy that we've a woman that we've got a butch to play that on. it's just not go down well with the audience. i understand the sentiment behind what you're saying and it does appear i actually know first hand as well from various people say trying to apply for certain jobs behind the scenes. the do their the bbc that when you do their onune the bbc that when you do their online the amount of questions that get asked about who you that you get asked about who you are your orientation is are and what your orientation is before you, before they actually ask you, can a look at your cv can we have a look at your cv please? it's quite remarkable,

which think that which does make me think that potentially main focus is potentially their main focus is actually on content or delivery. but like to see? but what would you like to see? because all stop because should we just all stop paying because should we just all stop paying bbc licence fee on paying the bbc licence fee on macs emails in macs am getting emails in saying, well , you know, have saying, well, you know, i have to it ? well, i saying, well, you know, i have to it? well, i paid it the to pay it? well, i paid it the other week. i wasn't happy about paying other week. i wasn't happy about paying it, but i was content about paying it. i'm not calling for people to blanket ban on the bbc licence fee because you pay about bbc licence fee because you pay abou t £800 a year on sky and about £800 a year on sky and others with netflix all of a sudden 50 odd. nick i can't it look if your nick is insignificant surely. but i can understand the majority of households are starting to turn away from the bbc licence because it doesn't represent them . they're paying because it doesn't represent them. they're payin on tim them. they're paying £159 on tim davie, the boss has just admitted it, but diverse city and progressive outfits trump's popularity, he said to himself so i can fully understand people are not paying the licence because it's like a trojan horse if you like. it's like social engineering. patrick it really is. and some people don't want

to be part of that, but that's like the tail wagging the dog and it would being alleged, i'll never the brexit never forget the brexit reference call the midwife, reference in call the midwife, which is set which are believe is set somewhere in the third to the forties. thank you very danny cowley bbc deejay. cowley that former bbc deejay. right. coming way. right. loads more coming way. i've you what i've been asking you what you think thing about think the worst thing about harry meghan is in light of harry and meghan is in light of the fact that it turns out they are even less popular than smallpox the side of smallpox on the other side of the channel hate to say it .

division or they will clear a path towards healing and to the restoration of the political institutions . clearly there will institutions. clearly there will be further discussions between the government and the european union, but i think it is safe to say that progress has been across a range of areas , but across a range of areas, but there are still some areas where further work is required . the further work is required. the snp has postponed a conference on independence following the resignation of first minister nicola sturgeon. it comes as the party's executive committee set a ballot to select the new party leader. well, close on the 27th of march, deputy first minister john swinney has already he won't be entering the race . the won't be entering the race. the government has offered health care staff an average 6.5% pay rise. workers would also receive a one off payment of between 1400 an d £900. matt unison, 1400 and £900. matt unison, scotland's head health has

particular case comes out, what the principle rules of the confidential letter of victims must always be by the police . a must always be by the police. a form of security guard at the british embassy berlin caught spying for russia has been sentenced to more than 13 years in jail. david smith was found to have provided names , to have provided names, photographs and personal of embassy staff to , russian embassy staff to, russian officials in return for payment . smith said he was merely trying to embarrass the embassy and, was suffering from depression. but justice wolf said smith had put people at maximum risk. five said smith had put people at maximum risk . five police maximum risk. five police officers have pleaded not to second degree murder of terry nichols in memphis last month. body cam footage at the time showed the 29 year old being beaten by several officers. his death caused widespread and renewed a conversation about race police brutality. tara's

attention to themselves as media is. what's also fascinating is at one point harry opens up his wife's mouth and there's this nothing inside as she's an empty and at the end of it prince harry's character comes to realisation that maybe actually he doesn't need to be doing all of this stuff . maybe they don't of this stuff. maybe they don't need to be big, famous people. and meghan's character just just leaves him . anyway, here's leaves him. anyway, here's a clip of him appearing on a canadian talk show. i guess clip of him appearing on a canadian talk show . i guess the canadian talk show. i guess the prince and his wife were . we prince and his wife were. we love that you've lived a life , love that you've lived a life, the royal family. you've had everything handed to you. but you're saying your life has been hard and now written all about it in your new book? well, yes, right. you say my wife and right. and you say my wife and i are talking like you should write because. you're write a book because. you're finally it. and then finally like by it. and then some like journalists fantastic email, little miss from michael vaiews@gbnews.uk need to remember that south park cartoon is fiction briefly touches is fiction that briefly touches on fact a bit like that on the fact a bit like that netflix series. other book comment day, michael you

comment of the day, michael you love say i've been asking you love to say i've been asking you a home or in your cars a lovely at home or in your cars or wherever watching it get or wherever you watching it get in with me and. so what we in touch with me and. so what we think the worst thing about harry meghan is harry and meghan really is joining me now to discuss joining me right now to discuss this broadcaster friend this is royal broadcaster friend , channel commentator as , the channel commentator as well rafe heydel—mankoo raif , well rafe heydel—mankoo raif, thank you very much. i mean this is i would argue harry and meghan down to a tee and i think it's fair to say that now an international laughing stock your views . yeah i absolutely i your views. yeah i absolutely i really enjoyed it it was south park at its bitingly brilliant i it went back to sort of the golden age of south park and it's a message mercilessly skewered the pomposity and absurdity actually of the of the duke and duchess as you quite rightly say and you know what they did i think we did well in this episode. there's not just, you know, expose how ridiculous it is a privileged prince impressive to have these minor grievances. but it's all such a actually expose the hypocrisy you just have the title world

wide privacy you talk i would say saying these them arising this quiet neighbourhood of a south where they begin bashing drums and setting off fireworks, saying we demand our privacy . saying we demand our privacy. this has made them a laughing . this has made them a laughing. and of course, you know, if i was harry and meghan, i would be firing pr company because quite frankly, it was also predictable what was going to happen to them . there's a, you know, there's a golden rule always existed which essentially says, you know, if you want avoid media intrusion and being made a laughing stock you to stay out of the spotlight and when you look at people like you know diana or madonna jennifer lopez , these people who jennifer lopez, these people who actually caught the media and trying to promote themselves in the in the letter become victims of it and you contrast that with people who are more shy like daniel day—lewis or i wanted a barbra streisand does i want to see that's the way that you when you do privacy . no exactly you do get privacy. no exactly or me mean anyone who's or indeed me i mean anyone who's ever met me will know i hate

limelight and i hate idea of being attention and as being centre of attention and as you well know, rife, i do not like to bring up the fact that i was in harry and meghan. netflix documentary. it's the most watched ever on netflix, watched thing ever on netflix, but i don't to bring but no, i don't like to bring it up. we want talk respect. up. so we want to talk respect. my up. so we want to talk respect. my life and but now that my private life and but now that they've know that they've done for themselves over now that they've for themselves they've done for themselves in america the america even talk about the potentially decided to potentially decided move to africa i one imagine africa right i one would imagine the unconscious bias they'd have to over that be to fight over that would be absolutely well you know they better stay out of south because they're already non grata there. we're having spoken, i made several about south africa including described the luxurious residence that they given as some sort of shack in shanty town and having a very different idea of who they encountered in terms of mandela and so forth compared to what recollections of people were there at the time had . i think there at the time had. i think really this is really shows how much of a disaster harry this book has been. you know magazine

in america has shown that their poll rating has plummeted by 45 points since december they were in positive numbers before december . in positive numbers before december. now in positive numbers before december . now they're both december. now they're both around minus for meghan minus seven for prince harry, america was supposed to be their safe space, but they seemed to have done all they could to make themselves unpalatable there. why is this happening? because well, americans didn't really them that well. all they got to see was the sort of hollywood glamorous we in this country knew them very well. we couldn't understand . americans took to understand. americans took to them warmly , but now know them so warmly, but now we know it is them so warmly, but now we know itis they them so warmly, but now we know it is they didn't know it is because they didn't know them well. more they see them too well. the more they see of the more hear from of them, the more they hear from them, lower their ratings them, the lower their ratings fall of complete fall and. of course, complete disaster . fall and. of course, complete disaster. macon's pipe dream of one day running to become president of the united states. i think more more than on i think that's more more than on the back burner . it's more than the back burner. it's more than on the burner . exactly that on the back burner. exactly that look. right. thank you very as even look. right. thank you very as ever. heydel—mankoo that is ever. rafe heydel—mankoo that is royal and i think royal broadcaster and i think the fact is right that it's all

very well and people coming out and criticising harry and maybe they can take that maybe they can say oh well it's all due to unconscious process. but what's going them to going to be very tricky them to deal now is fact they deal with now is the fact they are being out and, left out are being left out and, left out hard, really. i think that's going to be quite crushing for them. i thought there'd be them. i thought maybe there'd be boos the boos if they came the coronation. just we coronation. now i just know we will. of pointing and will. a lot of pointing and laughing. your emails on this are utter gold, ladies and gb views of .uk sue harris views of goodies. .uk sue harris has got says the worst thing has got on says the worst thing about and meghan. ask about harry and meghan. you ask , well, is and meghan your , well, is harry and meghan your views that from now views in moving on that from now this got another this week we've got another bombshell you bombshell people's poll for you . so the results are in and we decided we were going to ask you a little bit about digital content online. it's been revealed an overwhelming 78% of you support an age verification to prevent children from accessing online. it comes amid concern expressed amongst both major political parties , parents major political parties, parents and experts about negative effects of children viewing

online. well, i wanted to know whether not this was such a bad thing. is it control? should people be allowed to frankly view whatever they want online? is it impossible to control, to look your better? all of look after your better? all of these personal questions coming your right now? because i am your way right now? because i am joined by the wonderful adult film star is brooklyn blue brook. great to brook. thank you very great to have the show. how do you have you on the show. how do you greet poll in of people greet this poll in 78% of people supposedly think there should be much tighter verifications when it comes to watching adult content . i mean, they've content online. i mean, they've been they've saying this for years now and. i agree with it. there should be more. and, you know , restrictions on people know, restrictions on people being able to access the adult sites , the age verification , sites, the age verification, something i've been speaking about for a really time. and i think they're just starting to bnng think they're just starting to bring it in now with a lot of sites and web written work. i mean the internet. there's always ways it and people will go out of their way to find ways around it to access it it will happen. around it to access it it will

happen . but if they can bring it happen. but if they can bring it in to try and make as safe as possible, then can't be anything wrong with that. really i mean, look how damaging do you think it is that with respect to, let's say , a, i eight year old let's say, a, i eight year old viewed some of your content onune viewed some of your content online would concern you massively ? yes, of course it massively? yes, of course it would. i anyone you know children should not be access important. and i think when it gets to the age where are teenagers and they're starting to talk about things like guys with their friends at school or things like that . i've always things like that. i've always said it's about education and i do believe they should bring the education into the schools and really teach you know, the young could be generation that is not what they see is not real and. i'm completely on the education of it and i think they do need to educate. isn't real, it's complete fantasy. and obviously bringing in age verification to the websites, it can only be a thing if it's stopping younger

accessing it. of course it be a good thing, would you if that my business. absolutely no of it wouldn't and i think it's a good thing if they could bring it in and they could make it you know what it would be great. can they make it work? i don't know. like i said, see, there's a lot things people could find their ways . but i'm things people could find their ways. but i'm saying well and as well, not being but these well, i'm not being but these younger generations are probably going more skilled going to be more skilled at gaming security measures than gaming on security measures than their parents or grandparents, for i ask? for goodness sake. can i ask? because this discussion because this this discussion about online right about adult content online right now around or not, now is centring around or not, children should be able to access i'm pretty sure access and i'm pretty sure everyone that. everyone can agree with that. but other one that always but the other one that always raise head i've got raise its head and i've got a feeling is it's just around the corner the day the corner in the next day the follow be, oh well it's follow on will be, oh well it's objectifying towards and objectifying towards women and it know, it's is it is, you know, it's is terrible for the women who are involved in everything. do you find being imposed ? i find it quite being imposed? i love employed and i mean, love being employed and i mean, i find it completely empowering. i find it completely empowering. i mean, what people realise is and i think it's one of the only

industries in the world where women get paid more than the men like. you know, if i'm on set with man be getting more money than that day and also the than him that day and also the women are completely in control when know, when walk into when you know, when we walk into work you know when i work work like you know when i work on set obviously to me it's a normal day job that when i'm on set i'm completely in control, you know, decide what doing what i'm not me is it's very women based. i'm not me is it's very women based . and at the end of the based. and at the end of the day, it's all down to us what happens and what doesn't happen. it's completely empowering as a woman to be able to do that. but everyone always assumes it's other round and it's the men other way round and it's the men you and telling you that you this and telling you that that it's actually the complete opposite on. well you very opposite on. well thank you very much i thoroughly enjoyed this conversation and hopefully have gotten very very see that as aduu gotten very very see that as adult film start that play adult film start that book play reacting bombshell gb reacting to our bombshell gb news poll . apparently news people's poll. apparently 78% of you would support age verification systems to prevent children accessing online content so that we go right .

content so that we go right. okay, so moving on little bit of a gear change this now those people who litter on our be forced to join squads to tidy britain. i've got the here patrick christys britain is a very bleak place. there would be snipers on roundabouts . people snipers on roundabouts. people who don't indicate they are the bane of my existence. but i would advocate something a little bit stronger than as fly—tipped . yes, people drop fly—tipped. yes, people who drop a machine or worse, a washing machine or even worse, dirty whatever down, dirty nappies or whatever down, an alleyway. i tell you what, have them in stocks. but that's why nowhere near that's what why i'm nowhere near that's what low labour shadow justice secretary steve reid. he wants them going out and cleaning up them going out and cleaning up the mess. he wasn't cleaning up the mess. he wasn't cleaning up the taking a softer the mess, taking a softer approach. that under approach. he said that under labour fly—tipped approach. he said that under labourhave fly—tipped approach. he said that under labourhave to fly—tipped approach. he said that under labourhave to join fly—tipped approach. he said that under labourhave to join clean ipped approach. he said that under labourhave to join clean uped would have to join clean up squads penalty squads with tough fixed penalty notices and strengthened community sentences. i mean , community sentences. i mean, could actually just have whatever they've listed , just whatever they've listed, just lobbed out them, couldn't i like the idea enough to wear big orange jumpsuits in public anyway? neil wallis joins me now, newspaper editor and now, former newspaper editor and media neil. great media consultant neil. great stuff. you've seen stories like

come and go in your time. what do you make of the idea that people who letter and fly tipper , a beauty spot , you know, ruin a beauty spot with some are going to with some rubbish are going to be to go and pick it up be made to go and pick it up well, reeling from the idea that i agree with the labour party policy and it's a bit of a shocker that they actually come up with something that you think . yeah that's a good idea and you know i it sort of quite easy to sort of chuckle about but in fact fly tipping in this country is a huge problem and it is gone through the roof during the pandemic and there's been over a million cases a year and it was something like i think it was 39,000 instances this was like an entire lorry load was dumped somewhere . it happened near me somewhere. it happened near me in west london and i tell you, i don't like it and i don't think anybody likes it . and if we put

anybody likes it. and if we put them in orange jumpsuit , i mean them in orange jumpsuit, i mean chain gangs to make clean up their own mess seems a good idea.cani their own mess seems a good idea. can i ask. their own mess seems a good idea. can i ask . can i ask this, idea. can i ask. can i ask this, neil? because i daresay if the tories have proposed this and do anything rome did actually quite while ago proposed something that wasn't million miles away from this and it was the guardian headlines changed. so tony robbins chain gangs everywhere look away straight or labour out and propose and everyone's going , oh, this is everyone's going, oh, this is quite a good idea. am i still a little bit of pride in the area? put these people to work and teach them a the optics of this are absolutely it is lesson in are absolutely it is a lesson in the fact that if the tories say one thing and then labour say the other. the treat it the other. the media treat it completely differently yes, completely differently that yes, i but it is also i think they do but it is also a classic of how the only people who can , if you like, completely who can, if you like, completely what needs to be done and reinvigorate and completely look again at the nhs is actually the labour party because whenever the tory say something sensible

like it is ludicrous. the way thing is run then they are the child beaters and they're robbing our nhs etc. you need to do it i'm afraid. well, the same thing goes here. if the tories say it and they say yeah, yeah, yeah but the labour now trying to appear tougher on crime than the tories and yvette cooper for instance suddenly come out saying she's the lobo shadow home secretary, saying we need 13,000 more police officers . 13,000 more police officers. well, of course we do, but don't you, the tories have been saying this and trying to do something about it. but neil, those those police officers know they can't just be any police officers. i'm afraid. they're all going to have to be sympathetic towards a very different cause is this rebellion . yeah yeah exactly. if rebellion. yeah yeah exactly. if you want 13,000 police officers but they've all got to be eco members of the lgbtq community. they've got to know how to say that they outside downing

street, all of this stuff. but we had to just to ask you, we had just to just to ask you, neil, i've said in patrick britain people who fly tip they'd putting the stocks in they'd be putting the stocks in and neil wallace is britain would happen to fly—tipped as if you had absolute you just had absolute power absolute power. oh i don't stocks is quite high enough i think they should have all the stuff thrown at them. they don't . and the side of the road we could, we could put them up against the walls unparalleled machines, them and filthy old rags and bricks and stuff as stuff. so i tell you what astonishing i tell you what, all go down well with the banks and they'll all go down one with the banks. neil wallace there nowhere near as favourable as the could sell to the media could sell to apparently strong and apparently very strong law and order as well from what we can gather that you love say it. gather that you love to say it. thank very much. you're with thank you very much. you're with me patrick on tv news. me patrick christys on tv news. coming we will be talking coming up, we will be talking about police. okay about why the police. okay gear change, change we change, people get change and we will the police will be about why the police decided reveal highly

decided to reveal highly personal information about the missing of. two nicola missing mother of. two nicola bailey top on bailey i've got a former top on this actually his views this this actually his views on. this might you, i'll give might surprise you, so i'll give that shortly. i'm head that very shortly. i'm the head of as of terrorism policing as revealed eight terror plots workers held in last year. so realistically , you don't know realistically, you don't know how. lucky you are to be alive. some of the details of that will shock people just seconds away from pulling the trigger. i'll be back to tech .

welcome back, everybody . suella welcome back, everybody. suella braverman is at lancashire police . why they saw fit to police. why they saw fit to reveal very personal details about nicola , the missing mum about nicola, the missing mum and of course comes. it's now three weeks since she was missing, which is remark able and the fact that we're no further along to finding anything out about there apart from police had told us from what the police had told us which isn't great stuff. lancashire police has referred themselves to the independent office contact.

themselves to the independent ofhad contact. themselves to the independent of had with contact. themselves to the independent ofhad with ms. contact. themselves to the independent ofhad with ms. burley)ntact. themselves to the independent ofhad with ms. burley before . it had with ms. burley before. she went missing so that out with the before she went missing then she went missing and then what's happened since then has frankly been i would argue maybe on the face of it a little bit weird for people like me and ordinary people who are at this case from outside appears case from the outside appears they relevant they didn't share relevant information about isis and vulnerable , which turned out to vulnerable, which turned out to be from what they've said anyway issues alcohol. i hate to issues with alcohol. i hate to say this but is what they've said okay which hormonal menopausal didn't menopausal issues. they didn't share people were share that with people who were actually for actually tasked looking for these sites share it with the these sites. share it with the press, which i find bizarre. anyway, here's talking about this founding member of the this is a founding member of the black association is black police association is leroy logan. leroy, thank you very much look, it's great to have you the show. thank you have you on the show. thank you very now, i know that you very much. now, i know that you spent huge your career and spent a huge your career and your fighting your life fighting for potentially form potentially another form of injustice in police force. injustice in the police force. i've today about i've read headlines today about this, it was if nicola was this, where it was if nicola was called nicholas, if it had done more to find it. do you buy into

that all? do you think there's anything going on with anything going on there with that ? no, no, i don't anything going on there with that? no, no, i don't think . that? no, no, i don't think. there's any of intention . act to there's any of intention. act to prevent us finding nicola. i it's i think it has been very well from the go when there was the, the emphasis is on she's fallen in the river when there should have been lines of enquiry she made more explicit around well she could have been abducted she could have strayed away or something of that nature . and obviously sharing information about her personal medical and a personal face, again, just shows it's just been again, just shows it's just been a catalogue of errors . and you a catalogue of errors. and you know, unfortunately, the family and friends of nicola are ones that are really suffering from this. are you surprised the way

that they've gone about this? it does appear to be a bit cack handed , be honest with you. and handed, be honest with you. and a lot of people are up in arms about all of this. do think about all of this. do you think that the police force actually , that the police force actually, unfortunately, just isn't as good as the british public would like to think it is ? well, i've like to think it is? well, i've seen the years since i retired years ago that the actual skills of officers who are in front , of officers who are in front, the cameras who are saying that doing certain things doesn't seem . to relate to the outcomes seem. to relate to the outcomes which we all want it. we want more safe and secure communities and neighbourhood . and they come and neighbourhood. and they come up with plans that to be very short term , they don't really short term, they don't really look at the outcomes and the impact and i don't know what they're teaching them at the strategic course. so the senior who are supposed to be senior

investigators as well , it seems investigators as well, it seems to be a shortfall in, expertise and skills which seems to itself time and time again and also on the type of supervision that officers are under. i know true austerity , less officers is high austerity, less officers is high caseload , more stress on them so caseload, more stress on them so i've got a manifestation of it well well possibly leroy you exposed i'll say i suppose essentially cover ups or problems in the police force dunng problems in the police force during your time and an attitudinal problem . what i'm attitudinal problem. what i'm worried about here is that the police realise that they may be a mess of this investigation early and given the nature of where nicola is potentially go missing now that might be a problem going forward because they might not be able to find and what we've seen is them the pubuc and what we've seen is them the public initially saying you gave us a lot of information we were

deaung us a lot of information we were dealing we were dealing with that we were deaung dealing with that we were dealing twitter or dealing with twitter who work or tik—tok fanatics who were coming to the scene. they've now, in my view, said . well, view, potentially said. well, look, nicola, by the way , had a look, nicola, by the way, had a dnnk look, nicola, by the way, had a drink problem and had a brain fog because of the menopause. and just wondering now, are and i'm just wondering now, are they own they trying cover their own tracks, editing ? well, can't tracks, editing? well, i can't discount possibility because i've seen it over the years , the i've seen it over the years, the decades where they tend to close ranks at the expense of truth and justice and trying to push back any suggestion that something's wrong. i've seen on just tactics to do with day to day policing. i've seen in senior investigation so i couldn't put it past certain are trying to protect the local police service and as a result of that think it's best to try and divert attention elsewhere. you know they say well listen there's nothing to concern

yourself about let's say here everything's well but it's someone else's problem. and that's one of the issues that police and really to get come to terms with is stop being so defensive because people think well you've got something to hide if you look at the case of sarah there was not openness this label is an officer involved . it's only when it was involved. it's only when it was so clear that, you know , the so clear that, you know, the cousins had , you know, taken cousins had, you know, taken advantage powers , was kidnapped advantage powers, was kidnapped , raped and then killed. that's what we find out. yeah. and even the policing the sarah everard , the policing the sarah everard, they said, oh, it was done properly and, they got hmrc to say oh yes . was all well policed say oh yes. was all well policed and in the end that the case report said no institution sexist and institution misogyny . so it just seems like police to be found out before they agree that done wrong . i agree that done wrong. i absolutely get i think summarised in a nutshell there were a lot of people are

thinking which is potentially early on in the investigation they've panicked their communication been shocking in the media and potentially with the media and potentially with the family and now we're in situation, i fear, where they're throwing the bus say, oh , throwing under the bus say, oh, look, she a drinking problem look, she had a drinking problem and she an issue with the and she had an issue with the menopause . was unstable and menopause. she was unstable and all of this and i think all that is a terrible look. leroy, thank you very much for on the you very much for coming on the show. appreciate it, show. really appreciate it, mate. great to have you on. leroy logan, that is a founding member black police member of the black police association. years association. lots of years experience, decades of experience, decades of experience police as experience. the police force as well. you're me, patrick well. you're with me, patrick christys news right now. uk christys gb news right now. uk police. it seems a bit more police. so it seems a bit more positive. police story, it must be said foiled last gasp terrorism last year. people right on the verge pulling the trigger or doing something else. nasty last nasty stopped at the last minute. you quite literally. do not lucky you are to. not know how lucky you are to. be alive, ladies and gentlemen. in i will reveal the in some cases i will reveal the shocking details in some of those cases shortly after those cases very shortly after your headlines.

gb news or our ladies and in fact, it's not just ladies here, is it? ladies and gentlemen, we're all going to be talking a little bit very shortly about, harry and meghan. and fact that no meghan. and the fact that no introduced stock,

introduced a laughing stock, supposedly the supposedly because got the absolute treatment from south park america night . absolute treatment from south park america night. i've park in america last night. i've been you throughout the been asking you throughout the course show what you course of the show what you think the worst thing about harry and meghan is. just time for one quick one. he says just to say the blatantly obvious, harry and meghan are downright jealous . and harry and meghan are downright jealcwe . and harry and meghan are downright jealcwe go. . and harry and meghan are downright jealcwe go. they . and harry and meghan are downright jealcwe go. they think . and harry and meghan are downright jealcwe go. they think theirand now we go. they think their reputation is absolutely in tatters. we'll touching on tatters. we'll be touching on that clips for you of that with some clips for you of the total number that has been done on stateside. they're done on them stateside. they're unpopular their poll unpopular over here. their poll ratings are tanking stateside and if rumours are to be believed, even actually believed, they even actually genuinely africa soon to genuinely move to africa soon to try hand being popular try their hand at being popular over there. can they possibly alienate three different continents space of a continents within the space of a year? only time will tell. but moving the head uk terror, moving on the head of uk terror, matt has revealed there matt jukes has revealed there were eight terror plots curtailed at the very last minute last . the news comes minute last. the news comes after the police quite concerning they that there are more than 800 investigations still lie into terror plots in the uk right now. islamic terror

is said to still be the biggest to the uk, which is not exactly much of a shock, is it? jinx is there are 15 lives invested into such against british people, which should be a huge worry for us all. but in light, you know, being of lancashire police earlier on in the way they've the nicola case credit where credit due to the police force they keep safe in ways that we will never quite know about stopping last ditch terror attacks . joining now is dr. attacks. joining me now is dr. akiba , who the social akiba, who is the social analyst. dr. kyiv, thank you very . look, i've got to be very. look, i've got to be honest with you, reading this people like you oh , and we might people like you oh, and we might not any idea how lucky are not have any idea how lucky are to be alive and. social cohesion, if these figures is to be believed, it doesn't appear to much. that's to working too much. that's well, i think that many people will be extremely thankful to the work done by counter—terrorism, policing officer matt jukes . revelation officer matt jukes. revelation that there were eight late stage terror plots which were foiled

by last year as , you mentioned. by last year as, you mentioned. jukes also that the biggest threat , jukes also that the biggest threat, biggest terror threat continues to be presented by islamist extremism. that was something was very clearly stated in. the recent shawcross review where it's mentioned that 80% of the counter—terrorism police is live investigations were islamist related but but naturally people much of the pubuc naturally people much of the public will feel thankful that counter—terrorism has managed to foil these plots. but what's really is the fact that jigsaws have sent that the changing nature , the terror threat means nature, the terror threat means that there's more self—initiated be terrorists. so essentially , be terrorists. so essentially, who may be described as lone wolves , who may intend to carry wolves, who may intend to carry low tech attacks, which means that the terror threat is more unpredictable and volatile . unpredictable and volatile. patrick. no, indeed . and that patrick. no, indeed. and that makes it even harder to police . makes it even harder to police. people should be vigilant

shouldn't ever happen. not necessarily actually to rely on the police actually keep eyes in the police actually keep eyes in the back of your head, because we all know the threat is out there and despite what some sections the media might have you we all know where you believe. we all know where the vast majority that threat the vast majority of that threat lies islamist threat. the lies is an islamist threat. the far but it's far right is rising, but it's from much base. these are mr. from a much base. these are mr. is biggest threat and lone wolf potentially anyway the people who want to carry them out, the numbers of those people is rising, not slowly. and i think you rightly mentioned that makes terror threat more difficult to manage and monitor. terror threat more difficult to manage and monitor . we're manage and monitor. we're talking about wolf would be terrorists were not affiliated to a particular organisation they may well be radicalised onune. they may well be radicalised online . so those kind of online. so those kind of terrorists are very difficult to which makes things very difficult in terms actually managing the threat itself. yeah it does . dogs are a key. it

it does. dogs are a key. it would lead me to think that. there may be the real the first source of prevention has to be led. and then i read and discuss with absolute horror the only day that the prevent counter scheme is being things like it's racist against muslims for example the saying that the islamic community reject the counter terror programme as a whole. well, if more lone wolf candidates it were, they have to be stopped within their own community. but then it appears some sections of that community are now saying they don't want anything counter anything to do with counter terrorism on. well, terrorism what's going on. well, i think the main problem is that you have unrepresented organisations who portray themselves to be the voice of themselves to be the voice of the british community. firstly, there is no such as the british muslim communities and quite big diverse set section of the british population the banks. when you look at the figures you see that the vast of british muslims are also concerned and worried about the threat posed by islamist extremism. so i

think that we really need to get away from being paralysed by various forms of political correctness, racial and religious identity politics when it comes to matters of security . no, indeed. and just lastly, does what keep in of this now, my big worry will be that we see kicking right? i think we're sitting on a little bit of a powder in this country. i think things incidents recently that have been going on, for example, regarding the channel migrants and migrant hotels and that certain people's reaction to and you hear about cases of we have very very disturbing incidents of murder , etc. i'm concerned we of murder, etc. i'm concerned we are sitting on a powder keg here and social cohesion in this is well under really if it ever really works to with it. we have some very serious challenges ahead of us in terms of maintaining social cohesion . i maintaining social cohesion. i think that when we look to the no sleep disorder essentially ,

no sleep disorder essentially, the government all too often is treating the most deprived communities almost as dumping grounds for asylum seeker relocation . i think knowsley is relocation. i think knowsley is a fine example that and i really hope that the government treats that as very serious wake up call to scale up its efforts in terms cultivating social cohesion but also more generally stepping up its efforts terms of securing our communities from the threat of extremism. don't keep. thank you very, very much, dr. akiba sun social policy analyst to that news. and i think it was big news just in the nick time just wrong as people are about to pull the trigger a late terror attacks were stopped by our police and our intelligence services. look i'm going to get back now to something that. i rarely take away i was just an officer a lot about my life was in fits of laughter last night and some of the clips from south park because they did a complete numb on and meghan . they, you on harry and meghan. they, you know, just had a massive swipe . know, just had a massive swipe. these privacy seeking couple,

harry and meghan sussexes weren't explicitly named during this episode of the show, but the character as well, they looked a lot like them and they just took the mick out of the reality of fact that now harry and meghan are an international laughing stock. have at laughing stock. have a look at this i guess the prince this clip. i guess the prince and wife , we find that and his wife wife, we find that we love them. you've lived a life with the royal family. you've had everything to you, but you're saying your life has been hot and. now you've written all about it. and your new book where that's right. where you're. yes, that's right. and my and i are and you say, my and i are talking you should write talking like you should write a book. finally like stuck book. you're finally like stuck by and then are like by it. and then are like journalists is cry. it goes on by the way and some these clips of harry and meghan letting off fireworks outside their home banging their heads against people's windows, privacy, banging their heads against people private )ws, privacy, banging their heads against people private everywhere in the taking private everywhere in the world, privacy , so at the end to world, privacy, so at the end to , everyone's complete and utter shock. who could have possibly predicted this ? meghan leaves predicted this? meghan leaves harry because she doesn't want

to leave the old hollywood lifestyle behind. i decided , i lifestyle behind. i decided, i want to put this to our our gb news and i'm very pleased to say i've managed to get hold of dr. shashi moodley. i met king charles iii yesterday. didn't which is great. so there you go . couldn't plum this any better. that was in milton keynes and it was given since he stay so i've also got alan mcneely who's in. well look i've to go to not only because it's ladies first as well she's it's the royal well but she's it's the royal uncle for you on this it's personal do you make of the personal what do you make of the fact that harry and meghan now appear international appear to be an international laughing and thank you laughing stock and thank you patrick. yes as you you were saying how you watched it and you were full of laughter. it was really funny. so they have been made a laughing stock. it's unfortunate innit because the message that harry and meghan wanted to get out to britain has actually become now a pr disaster. it's revealed a lot of inconsistencies in terms of them wanting , then wanting to be out wanting, then wanting to be out

of the limelight. however doing the opposite. lots contradictions, lots of inconsistencies is also to do with journalism , you know, they with journalism, you know, they themselves and have netflix series the spare book so . yes it series the spare book so. yes it has made them a laughing i'm just hoping that it will somehow something can be salvaged for harry and meghan with the upcoming but i'm not sure if that's possible you still have hope alan what do you make of this? are harry and meghan finished ? i thought it was finished? i thought it was hilarious with all the doom and gloom. it's about perfect. i thought it was absolutely brilliant and it really just shows them up. the show centred at that they are when how they could be so utterly and go down that route is beyond me but i think they're they're actually redemption to be quite honest . i redemption to be quite honest. i think everyone will have through the false some of them they have

the false some of them they have the hypocrisy i think so yeah it's good for a lot of material that's for sure. yeah indeed , that's for sure. yeah indeed, absolutely. and especially i've got to ask you, you know, so you you bless you you still hold out some hope that maybe they could come back as the coronation and the family be put back the family will be put back together. it's a wonderful together. look, it's a wonderful nofion together. look, it's a wonderful notion are there notion i mean, there are there are rumours now that harry and meghan might actually genuinely go and to an african nation because they are not happy with the level of popularity that they've over here or in america. would you recommend that they go to or i don't know, maybe the nonh to or i don't know, maybe the north pole ? you know, it's so north pole? you know, it's so unfortunate, to be honest, patrick want them to reconcile and then try and make amends. you know, meeting king charles yesterday , i think it would be yesterday, i think it would be so sad that him that prince harry's there for the coronation together . prince william , you together. prince william, you know, they are his sons and. this should actually come out of the media and they should and

resolve this and have a mediation and resolve this conflict and problems at the family level because should be united. and we should expect that. and have that hope for the royal as well. all right now, look, i'm very, very sorry about this, alan, but i've run out of time , so i know you've been time, so i know you've been sitting there patiently , but i sitting there patiently, but i promise you i'll get you back on the telly next week and you can mouth off about them again. then as alan mcneilly is grimsby as alan mcneilly is in grimsby and had the wonderful and we've also had the wonderful i, exception and we've also had the wonderful i, that exception and we've also had the wonderful i, that who (ception and we've also had the wonderful i, that who metion and we've also had the wonderful i, that who met king charles amelia that who met king charles iii dog we got right. we're iii dog that we got right. we're moving because moving on now, people, because i've a couple minutes i've only got a couple minutes to this in. okay. so is a to get this in. okay. so is a study by stanford university. you know, it's good they found that. you know, it's good they found that . okay. they've actually that. okay. they've actually read out national read this out in national television. they found that the average has increased in average penis has increased in length by 25% in the last 30 years. it's up from 4.86 inches on to home. so that time for others of up on the screen wasn't impressive. on the face of it appears to great news for

men, but expert warn that it isn't necessary really good news . stanford researchers are concerned that may be due to exposure to chemicals surgery, lifestyles and junk food. i tell you what if i was the effects on people? i play a video and eat takeaways all day. with me is dr. pam sperry. the relationship psychologist. and, pam, you are here to tell met everywhere who reading this story that the science are no science doesn't matter are no science doesn't matter are no science doesn't matter are no science doesn't matter unfortunately a lot of men get penis envy and that's not a new thing. freud over 100 years ago, i wrote about envy and not just in my hypothesis that some women get penis envy because of course women don't have penises. although i may get cancelled for saying nowadays. but he us about penis envy amongst men leading to anxiety so men who feel anxious about their size often do things like avoid the gym or if they go to the gym very cautious about how they change because they don't want other men to see that they feel

they're on the smaller side. and what i always say to men is size doesn't matter . it's what you do doesn't matter. it's what you do in the bedroom that counts. you can someone in all sorts of ways without worrying about your size. so men need to be reassured that they just matter . okay i mean is i mean is fantastic advice i'm thank you very very much . fantastic advice i'm thank you very very much. i'm so sorry this is short as we said we completely run out time doug thank you. thank you. thank you andifs thank you. thank you. thank you and it's great advice. well why not say it for men like me anyway? there we go. thank you. now, michelle is michelle is here. michelle is here and now wishes she here. that's wishes she wasn't here. that's what what michelle is currently thinking , because what what michelle is currently thinking, because i what what michelle is currently thinking , because i thought to thinking, because i thought to myself, it's friday i'll do things a little bit different. i'll sit to you instead i'll and sit next to you instead and hello . and then and say hello. and then you embarked random embarked on that random conversation. to inch by conversation. i was to inch by inch centimetre by centimetre move thinking ryan probably about saying the phrase given what were talking about what i mean. now least i understand

bringing outbreaks of rain through the evening to northern ireland to scotland . it will ireland and to scotland. it will bnng ireland and to scotland. it will bring snowfall over the bring some snowfall over the hills of scotland through parts grampians and the highlands in particular some of the higher routes could few routes here could see few centimetres snow, mostly rain centimetres of snow, mostly rain at low levels, but could icy as well temperatures fall down well as temperatures fall down close or touch below for the close to or touch below for the south. we are a long from any ice and snowy very mild night here with temperatures starting the weekend at ten or 11 celsius a bit damp first thing for south wales and southwest that rain should peter out fairly dank and drizzly through central and northern parts of northern northern parts of northern northern scotland. much brighter . and certainly the winds a lot lighter than today , bit breezy lighter than today, bit breezy elsewhere. but again generally cloudy, some brighter spells and really mild. 40, 15 degrees with a bit of sunshine feeling quite chilly. i suspect this is a central belt, six or seven at best here with the rain and drizzle is likely to pop up again through saturday evening.

could bring a bit more hill snow for a time , but that fizzles out for a time, but that fizzles out since . that leads to most places since. that leads to most places starting sunday dry main exception will again be northwest scotland, where the winds start to pick during sunday. further rain coming in here, some rain through the central for a time but here and of course southern scotland it should brighten up for northern ireland cloudy , mostly dry for ireland cloudy, mostly dry for england and wales , perhaps a bit england and wales, perhaps a bit more sunshine coming through sunday. a brighter day getting windy once more in the northwest, but again, pretty for the middle of february, double digits and into the teens in the south good bye .
