female cosmetic products were advertised by a bunch of men with beards . take a look. with beards. take a look. >> prime day on amazon . so why >> prime day on amazon. so why not see if maybelline has any deals going on? and look at that super stay. vinyl ink is 30% off and my favourite colours are in stock and ready to ship my amazon order arrived the next day and here i am filming a makeup review and baby check out this colour and shine . this colour and shine. >> oh ladies, you're so glamorous. is nothing sacred now? is it too much to ask for women to advertise women's cosmetic products? do you think like this? after the biologically male trans influencer dylan mulvaney angered women with a nike advert for a female sports bra? these woke corporations are trolling women on an olympic level. woke corporations are trolling women on an olympic level . dylan women on an olympic level. dylan mulvaney, who can identify however they like. good luck to them. it's a free world, has previously provoked anger for videos mocking things like women's periods. take a listen to this day 31 of being a girl.

>> and i'm freaking out a little bit. i haven't gotten my period yet. okay, i'm late . it and yet. okay, i'm late. it and i mean, i haven't kissed anyone in a while, but still like we know what happened to the virgin mary. okay it's possible . in all mary. okay it's possible. in all seriousness. no, i can't get a period. but my doctor did tell me that the oestrogen i'm taking can cause me to become, like, kind of hormonal, emotional, like 3 to 4 days out of the month. so watch out . month. so watch out. >> yeah. she can take a hot flush . there's another video flush. there's another video from dylan mulvaney in which she he i don't know, not sure what the words are now. messes around with a tampon and how hilarious women's periods are. what a jolly jape this is an egregious inqu jolly jape this is an egregious insult to real women who use such products or have writhed in bed in pain during their time of the month. but for this biological male in a dress , it's biological male in a dress, it's a bit of a laugh. we've seen biological males smashing women athletes in professional sport

with the clear advantage of a masculine physiology and male puberty on their side. apparently that's progress . s apparently that's progress. s we've gone back decades in terms of fighting for women's hard earned sex based rights with dangerous and disturbing yeon unisex toilets and changing rooms and surely a low point was the accommodation of a double rapist, isla bryson fully intact in a female prison. i still can't believe i'm saying that sentence. what a time to be alive . and it doesn't end there. alive. and it doesn't end there. just last weekend at a trans pride march, another biological male identifying as female had this charming message to their followers . followers. >> i was going to come here and be really fluffy and be really nice and say, yeah, be really lovely and queer and gay. now if you see a terf punch of a. face. >> sarah jane baker they're such a naughty girl via since is

always justified. if you have right on your side. apparently the tyranny of woke progressives knows no bounds and goes unchecked by a corporate media and political elites in the grip of this bonkers ideology which says you can change your biological sex. i don't remember any prominent public figures, companies or politicians. any prominent public figures, companies or politicians . owens companies or politicians. owens calling out this vile video . calling out this vile video. women are misrepresented and lied about every day with pathetic news reports like ex—soldier who exposed her penis and used a wheelie bin as a sex toy in public. look out for more of these stories about women that beat people up, women that rape people , women that murder. rape people, women that murder. i think you'll find on closer examination, they are intact biological males. but that's how meaningless and devalued the word woman has become. frankly, i think the whole of womankind could sue you for slander on their name every time a

so—called woman has committed a crime. because it's not true . crime. because it's not true. meanwhile, a woke charity rebrands the female reproductive anatomy as a bonus hole. could there be a more offensive use of language about a woman ? speaking language about a woman? speaking of language, women aren't even allowed to call themselves women anymore. no. if you're a person with a cervix or a menstruating human, the best you can hope for is cis woman, a dystopian term which reflects the dark, cruel horror of this ideology . when horror of this ideology. when did society decide it was okay to insult women? when did society decide it was okay to attack women ? when did society attack women? when did society decide it was okay to belittle , decide it was okay to belittle, mock and erase women to diminish their rights and freedoms, to challenge their identity and take away spaces where they can be safe and where they can be? you know, women in don't forget , this is half of the adult population being gaslit out,

being insulted , being erased , being insulted, being erased, and bearded blokes said being female cosmetic products is a new low. you couldn't make it up , but it's a close shave for those woke corporations . you've got. i'll be honest with you, i only need to shave about once every two years. still waiting for puberty to kick in. your reaction market gbnews.com. companies like maybelline would argue that they've got a growing audience for their products. now men and women , people that men and women, people that identify ways . all identify in different ways. all they're to do is include they're trying to do is include all customers. they would argue that world changing and that the world is changing and people by different people identify by different genders. they want to embrace that. so, you know, also there's

the argument that people the argument that trans people are some of the most attacked and in society and vilified in our society and they love. so it's all they need some love. so it's all about opinions. what's yours do? let let's reaction let me know. let's get reaction now fantastic pundits now from my fantastic pundits tonight. you mind tonight. mark, do you mind scrolling me along while we get to fantastic details here? to the fantastic details here? first author and first of all, author and campaigner children in care, campaigner for children in care, chris wilde, gb news star albie amankona and journalist and broadcaster linda jubilee and linda. i am duty bound to ask you first, because you're a cis woman. am i? >> do you know what this reminds me of, though? it's a real life example of the new kim cattrall programme on netflix called glamorous , where she is a makeup glamorous, where she is a makeup mogul , hires glamorous, where she is a makeup mogul, hires a trans man to promote her makeup line . and i promote her makeup line. and i think it's a brilliant, hilariously funny show that actually made several really good points , you know, and just good points, you know, and just like that, the sequel to sex and the city was a terrible flop, but glamorous has actually taken

the bull by the horns , so to the bull by the horns, so to speak, and has been very, very successful. so i've got a problem with maybelline doing this at all. >> okay . i do you think in >> okay. i mean, do you think in some complaints about some ways my complaints about this and how this changing world and how women are characterised differently? i a differently? am i just a dinosaur ? dinosaur? >> no, but but, but in my view, you're sweating the small stuff. okay i don't mean to be insulting, but i salt away. but it makes for great telly. i don't mind . look, there was a don't mind. look, there was a party round at my ex's house last weekend and there was a trans woman there and. and i was really happy to meet her. who had been him or whatever. really happy to meet her. who had been him or whatever . and had been him or whatever. and there's another one who's now him who had been i don't him who had been at her. i don't care. as long as they're kind, decent people . decent people. >> well, i'll be >> all right. well, i'll be i imagine that you'll agree with linda. >> i just there's >> i just think there's something quite hypocritical about a with a face full of about a man with a face full of makeup criticising an advert , makeup criticising an advert, advertising makeup at men. >> i mean, how do we know that this advert was directed at women? if i looked at that

advert , i would think that was advert, i would think that was an advert for makeup, and the people men and people in the advert are men and they're men can they're saying, well, men can wear too. we're both sat wear makeup too. we're both sat here full makeup here with a face full of makeup on. might some new makeup on. i might find some new makeup on. i might find some new makeup on that i'll go to. on that i maybe i'll go to. maybe. well, i'm an maybe. well, i'm wearing an inch of makeup. >> be honest, i'm >> and i'll be honest, i'm unwatchable without it. but this is back of bud light and is off the back of bud light and dylan mulvaney. of course, dylan mulvaney. and of course, nike bras being marketed nike sports bras being marketed by a biological biologic male. >> i think that's different. i think i think it's a bit of a leap to go from this maybelline advert, which is just men advertising to whoever advertising makeup to whoever wants on women's wants to by putting on women's makeup, lipstick , makeup, makeup, lipstick, colour, all rest of it. colour, all the rest of it. i think leap from think it's a bit of a leap from that erasing women from that to erasing women from society. think you've got some society. i think you've got some very good on that. half very good points on that. half of i'm not of the argument. i'm just not sure what the link is with the maybelline advert. i think maybelline advert. well, i think this death by a thousand this is death by a thousand cuts because especially because many people, especially women argue women watching that would argue that those bearded men are that what those bearded men are doing woman doing is something called woman face, they're basically face, in which they're basically sort of mocking parading or sort of mocking or parading or caricaturing women in a way that's deeply offensive. yeah yeah.

>> and, you know, i want to come at this at a different angle. i'm raising a ten year old girl and have have to and i have to say, i have to step gingerly around like step gingerly around her like walking see walking on eggshells when i see stuff refuse to stuff like this and i refuse to be i'd i will speak the be wokeist. i'd i will speak the truth i'll say, actually , truth and i'll say, actually, because on because you're politically on the you're not woke. the left, but you're not woke. i'm not politically on the left and woke. but in this and i'm not woke. but in this scenario, difficult scenario, it's difficult because, you know, i have to raise a ten year old girl. and how do bring into a world? how do i bring her into a world? how i adjust world how do i adjust to her world where that's deemed as unsuitable? deemed as unsuitable? it's deemed as offensive and that's what i find. i do find it slightly offensive. i do in a way that, you know, women are women and we've gone too far. and it's got to the point where you can't even to a ten year old girl even talk to a ten year old girl about in about what's right and wrong in those commercials . okay. those commercials. okay. >> linda. >> last word to linda. >> last word to linda. >> historically, men >> historically, of course, men always as much makeup as always wore as much makeup as women. it's only in recent years that men wore no makeup . if you that men wore no makeup. if you go even years, 200 go back even 150 years, 200 years, you'll find men wearing just as much makeup as women . just as much makeup as women. >> your reaction to a cosmic ad with bearded men? albie thinks it's gorgeous. i'm going to say

some of the lads. look, look, you know, i mean, certainly if i'd of drinks , i'd had a couple of drinks, never never. listen, never say never. but listen, what what do you think about that advert ? if you're one of my that advert? if you're one of my brilliant viewers brilliant female viewers or listeners, your listeners, let me know your thoughts. gbnews.com. thoughts. margaret gb news.com. coming story coming up next in the big story , as men's health , as men's mental health dominates headlines this dominates the headlines this week, particularly in regards to huw edwards and the footballer dele alli, we speak to a man who came and came back from the brink and survived suicide and he's got an incredible sensational story, very inspiring. he's

news radio. needed to be done. >> haven't been done. >> haven't been done. >> okay. patricia has responded to my big opinion. this is maybelline, an advert with bearded men selling all sorts of fancy makeup , lipstick and fancy makeup, lipstick and blusher, and essentially female cosmetics. patricia says, mark, you won't be able to print what i think what i think about that makeup advert , steve says, mark makeup advert, steve says, mark men used to wear makeup 150

years ago. i take issue with that. years ago. i take issue with that . the only that wore that. the only ones that wore makeup time were the hoi makeup at that time were the hoi polloi, the ordinary man in polloi, not the ordinary man in the has gone too far the street. it has gone too far and has become ridiculous and obscene. more real women are being sacrificed to the whole trans thing. it's severe misogyny and we need to stand up and fight. we are close to losing. muriel, thank you for that. keep those emails coming. margaret gbnews.com. and it's time now for the big story and with bbc presenter huw edwards receiving treatment for serious mental health issues and ex—spurs and england footballer dele alli revealing the shocking abuse he suffered as a youngster . men's mental health is currently very high on the agenda. my next guest is an army veteran who has experienced a breakdown and has survived suicide after being diagnosed with degenerative disease disorder of the spine and post traumatic stress disorder. our nick, great to have you on the show . show. >> hi, mark. how are we doing?

there can be a lot of shame, fear, guilt . but, you know, the fear, guilt. but, you know, the some people do get a sense like a wake up call, you know, and then they're ever so thankful they survived and they managed to turn themselves around . but to turn themselves around. but generally you you can expect immense shame that you tried it and that you did such a thing. and then you are scared of how other people are going to react. you know, it isn't just your family and friends. it's also your work colleagues. and there is still a huge stigma around suicide guide, around mental health even, and whilst we are starting to hear more from bereaved families and they're getting an opportunity to share their story and we're not heanng their story and we're not hearing from survivors . so you hearing from survivors. so you they don't see that there is hope. you know, they don't see

that other people are managing to find a way through and trying to find a way through and trying to get support as well . so, for to get support as well. so, for example, i'm in a situation now whereby i have suicidal ideation , so i have suicidal thoughts now and when i'm in crisis, yes, i can ring up and get some, um, some support from crisis cafes or from the samaritans and, and learning supports the called , learning supports the called, um, listening supports. but there's nothing in between , you there's nothing in between, you know, so there's , there's know, so there's, there's nothing i can get right now . nothing i can get right now. there's no peer support groups . there's no peer support groups. i might get 1 to 1 counselling in if i'm lucky. and, and as we know , waiting lists, i heard know, waiting lists, i heard from a friend of mine who's been told there'd be nine months before they can get any support for their suicidal ideation . um,

irrelevant. but as part of the hatred and erasure of womanhood and manhood to . oh, it's pretty and manhood to. oh, it's pretty scary. joe says, oh, no, we'll get to john in just in a moment. it's a different topic. rhiannon says, mark, what's going on? i'll tell you, since the monster woke , raised its ugly head woke, raised its ugly head anyway , nothing and everything anyway, nothing and everything goes. i'm glad to have gotten goes. i'm so glad to have gotten through my youth without being subjected this. i'm subjected to all of this. i'm a biological remember them? biological woman, remember them? or will we to become a thing of the past? scary times ahead, says rhonda . how about vicki? says rhonda. how about vicki? she says , regarding maybelline she says, regarding maybelline and beard , did men selling and beard, did men selling makeup , it's and beard, did men selling makeup, it's the point behind this whole issue that interests me , says vicki. the huge me, says vicki. the huge majority are being cajoled and forced into accepting the ideology of less than 1. that is the point. and last but not least, helen says, hi, mark. i'm dismayed by two of your panellists in particular because it is death by a thousand cuts andifs it is death by a thousand cuts and it's getting worse by the day, being insulted, demeaned

and erased as a woman is not where i hoped and thought women would be in 2023. but here we are, the maybelline ad is repugnant. that's from helen, who has finished the email with a little kiss. so helen, i hope it's not inappropriate if i just which panellists, which panel i return it . return it. >> there we are. >> there we are. >> well, listen, that's why we love our pundits is because it's all about opinions on this show. mark dolan tonight and gb news are the home of free speech. whatever you think you just get it out there, folks. no one's vilified, cancelled. so vilified, no one's cancelled. so reacting the stories of reacting to the big stories of the author and campaigner the day, author and campaigner for in care chris wylde for children in care chris wylde gb news star albie amankona and journalist and broadcaster linda jubilee, albeit also says you're a financial analyst. but as far as i'm concerned, you're a tv star now. i feel you've moved on from that . from that. >> maybe, maybe. i'm not sure what my finances the only issue is get used to being broke . is get used to being broke. >> it's a very as linda will tell you, it's a tricky

profession. okay listen, let's start with this . and the start with this. and the government are planning to charge non—brits, who temporarily moved to the uk an extra £400 a year towards health services. prime minister rishi sunak says the extra fees for non—brits will help cover the cost of pay rises for a million pubuc cost of pay rises for a million public sector workers . this public sector workers. this announced pay rise will be between five and 7% for teachers, junior doctors and other public workers. but what do we think should non—brits people from overseas pay more for the nhs ? i'll be well. for the nhs? i'll be well. >> it seems like a pretty clever way to raise some extra money in quite a politically popular and savvy way because you can raise money. this is basically a tax rise, but it's a tax rise on immigrants . yes. so it's a tax immigrants. yes. so it's a tax rise which is popular with the british public because the going mentality at the moment is that we're immigration. we're against immigration. but of , what's interesting of course, what's interesting about this story is that it actually shows how much our pubuc actually shows how much our public services rely on immigration, because this pay rise is being funded by the

money of immigrants that apparently we don't want. what did make our minds up? >> what do you think about the comments of william hague, who said right said that actually even right wingers that wingers need to accept that britain migrants ? so do britain needs migrants? so do you that the conversation you think that the conversation around is changing around migration is changing because viewers and because many of my viewers and listeners country listeners feel that the country is full? listeners feel that the country is fthe conversation around >> the conversation around migration has changed. if you remember, in the 2010s, it was the conservative party policy to have immigration in the tens of thousands. that is not happening anymore. i think they want to get back down to get immigration back down to around 250,000. so this is in the hundreds of thousands. around 250,000. so this is in the hundreds of thousands . so the hundreds of thousands. so the hundreds of thousands. so the conversation around migration changed. i migration has changed. and i think does make an think william does make an interesting point. but you will also miriam also hear people like miriam cates we need to be cates saying, we need to be having more children. they're actually the actually both saying the same thing. country needs more thing. the country needs more people. one politician is saying, getting from we saying, we're getting it from we should get it from immigration. another that we another one saying that we should our should get it from having our own listen, own children. well listen, talking migration, the talking about migration, the government are going back to the supreme . supreme court. >> they're doubling down on the rwanda your reaction?

>> well , you know, it's >> yeah, well, you know, it's personal to because work personal to me because i work with a lot of young refugees and migrants come care migrants who come into the care sector. about sector. and what annoys me about this, come to this, right when they come to when come to england, when they come to england, they're luxuries. they're not met with luxuries. they're bouquet they're not met with luxuries. thflowers. bouquet they're not met with luxuries. thflowers. and bouquet they're not met with luxuries. thflowers. and box bouquet of flowers. and a box of chocolates. come into chocolates. they come into our care they're treated care sector. they're treated like second class citizens. mark and this ideology, to send them like second class citizens. mark an rwanda, aology, to send them like second class citizens. mark an rwanda, we»gy, to send them like second class citizens. mark an rwanda, we might send them like second class citizens. mark aananda, we might as1d them like second class citizens. mark aananda, we might as wellzm to rwanda, we might as well bnng to rwanda, we might as well bring back the guillotine as well at and the well while we're at it. and the only way i can only the only way i can comprehend this is to think about that decision was about when that decision was made. the tories were made. all the tories were intoxicated in one of their private parties because it's for me, it's just a farcical idea andifs me, it's just a farcical idea and it's just the tories way of whistle blowing and just coming up with these ideas to prevent refugees coming into this country. but that's not the solution . how is that a solution? >> but the australian labour party support the australian stop the boats policy, which is what the british stop the boats policy is based upon its work very well. so well that the australian labour party support the liberal which is the the liberal party, which is the australian conservative party policy. >> but are they wrong? i don't

even know whether it's a party political issue. i think this is an issue of humanity. if you if you like, thank you. >> humanity. >> humanity. >> so the fact of the matter is that i've never agreed , and even that i've never agreed, and even though a kind of small though i'm a kind of small c conservative, i've never agreed with the rwanda i've with the rwanda policy. i've thought from day one it's inhumane, inhumane and any amount of footage showing suella braverman looking around these apartheid moments in rwanda and discussing soft furnishings is not going to convince me that it's a great idea to. but what i do understand, because i've been supporting afghans who were supporting the afghans who were airlifted off the tarmac at kabul two years and i've kabul two years ago, and i've been inside at least bridging hotels, necessarily any hotels, not necessarily any asylum seeking hotels is what i understand. is there is no room . so something else has to happen. . so something else has to happen . it it might be barges happen. it it might be barges off the coast of rwanda is meant as a disincentive, isn't it? >> and i don't think the idea is that hundreds of thousands of people go to rwanda. the people will go to rwanda. the idea the is that kills the idea the is that it kills the business model criminal gangs.

>> i think we should be thinking about the boats that about destroying the boats that actually go to france, destroy the boats . the boats. >> mark, i've got 18 year old boys who are that scared . boys who are that scared. they're going to get sent to rwanda to go in. they're going into hiding. they're running away. them even away. and some of them are even contemplating away. and some of them are even cont�* scared. ng that scared. >> but chris and i appreciate that humanitarian crisis . you're that humanitarian crisis. you're so right. but £7 million a day to accommodate illegal migrants into the country, that's two, £3 billion a year, which is the entire levelling up fund for the north of england. >> i get that. i get that mark. i get that. but we've got to find solution. one find a decent solution. one which is , you know, is humane. >> but we have i mean, not to belabour the point, but do belabour the point, but we do have migration of over have legal net migration of over 600,000, which is actually over a million. you, you know , a million. if you, you know, don't subtract the people that leave . how sustainable are these leave. how sustainable are these numbers ? numbers? >> get it. i think we've >> yeah, i get it. i think we've got to separate legal migration and illegal migration because of course, legal migration we're inviting those people here. course, legal migration we're invithey're»se people here. course, legal migration we're invithey're students; here. course, legal migration we're invithey're students , here. course, legal migration we're invithey're students , they're >> they're students, they're ukrainian refugees. they're people hong kong. the

people from hong kong. the illegal is a illegal migration problem is a separate beast which needs to be tackled the rwanda tackled. i support the rwanda policy. a strong policy. we need a strong deterrent. and the point of a deterrent. and the point of a deterrent is not how can you not meant be a nice thing, but meant to be a nice thing, but it's country. it's not a safe country. >> maybe a deterrent, but >> maybe it is a deterrent, but it's not a safe way to rwanda where the potential is he might get he end up get killed, he might end up being into some gangs being groomed into some gangs out , forced into slavery. out there, forced into slavery. >> support that? >> and you support that? >> and you support that? >> a strong deterrent >> i support a strong deterrent to deter people from crossing the channel >> that's very that's a tory. >> that's very that's a tory. >> , it's not tory >> well, it's not just a tory thing. you're actually that thing. you're actually find that there people there are a lot of people who support the rwanda policy and it's one the chief it's not one of the chief justices that made that made the decision about the ruling this week it being illegal week about it being illegal actually believes that rwanda was a safe country. this isn't something but to well something but to didn't. well yes, but the point is i yes, i know. but the point is i agree with that . judge, are you agree with that. judge, are you also that an evil also saying that he's an evil tory, too? >> he's an evil >> well, he's an evil tory. >> well, he's an evil tory. >> quite torn. think >> i'm quite torn. i think you've made really good you've all made really good points. i think chris's point about aspect is about the humanitarian aspect is key. for key. but then alby speaks for many people who want

many millions of people who want this issue of illegal migration solved. what do you think? margaret gbnews.com i'll let you have the casting vote coming up next. my mark meets guest is the maverick businessman john mappin, turned down £1 mappin, who turned down £1 million from the government to house migrants his cornish million from the government to house hotel. ts his cornish million from the government to house hotel. he's his cornish million from the government to house hotel. he's also ornish million from the government to house hotel. he's also a nish million from the government to house hotel. he's also a good castle hotel. he's also a good friend of donald trump. what is the orange one up to? will you return to the white house? i'll be his close pals shortly be asking his close pals shortly . forget, in just 15 . and don't forget, in just 15 minutes huw edwards and minutes time, huw edwards and his media pals think that story is over. well, not on my watch. i'll be dealing with the bbc star at 10:00 in my take at ten, you won't want to miss it. mark meets his .

thing to do. you've written a letter to rishi sunak. what have you called for? >> well, just to get together because it is completely enviable. i had a meeting a few days ago , the russian embassy days ago, the russian embassy with the ambassador and with actually the military attache. and there is no question at all that this whole thing can be put to bed in less than 24 hours. >> do the americans want this war to end? >> well, i don't think they do, and i think that's the problem. but britain, with but i think we as britain, with our tradition of diplomacy , see our tradition of diplomacy, see and supposed intelligence house, we should really not be playing into the americans game . we've into the americans game. we've tended to do this in the past few years. but what we have to remember is that every day you and i are sitting here and we're putting our children to bed and we have you know, this is brother killing brother. the blood shed has got to come to an end. >> and donald trump has said he would end that war in days. do you believe him?

>> i it's solvable in hours >> i know it's solvable in hours from my own from my own community. >> i think the solution looks like , do the russians get crimea like, do the russians get crimea 7 like, do the russians get crimea ? do they a guarantee that ? do they get a guarantee that ukraine doesn't join nato? i think the first thing is, is we need to be honest the need to be honest about the actual reasons it started. actual reasons that it started. >> and that has to be part of any we're any negotiation. what we're being fed at the moment in the west is really false information about the origins of the war and why it started. and for any argument to resolve, whether it's a domestic or whether it's something more serious, such as an argument that could result in nuclear war, you have to be honest about the origins. so that requires communication. it does not require cluster bombs . does not require cluster bombs. it does not require depleted uranium . what it requires is uranium. what it requires is getting rishi sunak putin into a room for and him to you know, rishi and i went to the same school, so i know he's he's bright enough to sort this out .

bright enough to sort this out. and i believe in him . and what and i believe in him. and what i my letter which you can read on twitter. yeah we lay that out quite quite clearly . quite quite clearly. >> well, look, i hope you prevail because it's important to look at any solution to this awful conflict in which thousands of people have lost their lives . thousands of people have lost their lives. i'm no russian sympathiser. me tell you, sympathiser. let me tell you, putin something of monster putin is something of a monster , potentially war criminal. , potentially a war criminal. but you've got to get those people the table and people around the table and you've end this war more you've got to end this war more power to you. john, brilliant to have show. we'll have you on the show. we'll catch up soon. and let me tell you, camelot hotel is you, the camelot castle hotel is open in the most open for business in the most beautiful country. open for business in the most betcheck country. open for business in the most betcheck it country. open for business in the most betcheck it out. country. open for business in the most betcheck it out. highly»untry. so check it out. highly recommended. next up in my take a tent, i'll be dealing with huw edwards, who thinks this story has not on my watch. has gone away. not on my watch. we'll be doing journalism in about three minutes time. it won't be pretty for everyone. see shortly . see you shortly. >> the temperatures rising, boxt solar, proud sponsors of weather on . gb news.

front pages hot off the press at 1030 sharp and my pundits will be nominating their headline heroes and back page zeroes of the day. big stories , big guests the day. big stories, big guests and always big opinions . so and always big opinions. so strap yourselves in, folks. here's my take . at ten. i hate here's my take. at ten. i hate to break it to you, but as the usual suspects in the media elite circle the wagons to protect one of their own. this is hugh elle edwards story is not going anywhere. let me start by saying it's a cause of deep concern that this father of five is unwell and we wish him a speedy recovery . he and his speedy recovery. he and his family must be going through hell and it's fantastic that he'll have the chance to address the allegations made against him. after all, the police have found no evidence of illegality. so if he hasn't broken the law, why can't we all move on as his lovely north london pals so wish

that we would? well take a listen to this highly respected journalist at the times newspaper, sean o'neill, who tweeted the following yesterday . my tuppence worth on the sun, the bbc and the presenter. there seems to be a suggestion in the air that journalists should only report on criminality . when report on criminality. when i broke the oxfam story in 2018, he writes , it was not about he writes, it was not about criminality , but serious criminality, but serious misconduct and abuse of power and breach of trust . the abuse and breach of trust. the abuse of power, a feature of the allegations against elle edwards may not see you go to prison, but are completely unacceptable in any workplace for any employee . obe particularly employee. obe particularly a high profile individual like elle edwards the face of the state broadcaster's news operation where trust is a premium and whose wages are paid for by the taxpayer are bbc

employees held to a higher standard? yes, they are. do we have more of a right to know what they get up to, particularly if it's misconduct ? yes, we do. don't forget former justice secretary dominic raab was hounded out of a job because of allegations he wasn't a very nice boss, not illegal, but like the cars in a vin diesel movie, he was gone in 60s . i don't remember these woke luvvies the well—heeled north london dwelling media establishment screaming that he hadnt establishment screaming that he hadn't broken any laws. they didn't say anything , but many didn't say anything, but many think the huw edwards story is winding down and that those pursuing these allegations are running out of road. well far from it. whilst the sun newspaper who have inexplicably decided to call a ceasefire on reporting what is by definition a story in the national interest , this guy fronted the king's coronation and the queens funeral. no less. brave journalists at the beeb itself. it's been reported in today's

express now have dozens of bbc journalists working on more potential huw edwards stories as a slew of fresh claims. we're told, have since been made about the presenter , including two the presenter, including two from a former and current employee of the bbc, interviewed by newsnight. according to the news website deadline, multiple sources have been contacted by victoria derbyshire, the brilliant host of that show. as newsnight looked into rumours of alleged unwashed covid messages to junior staff, many asked why complaints weren't made at the time. well it's me too. all over again. the dynamic of these allegations is the same powerful male star untouchable, presiding over a culture of fear in which to speak out risks , career and to speak out risks, career and or reputation , personal or reputation, personal consequences. now there's no evidence that huw edwards is guilty of that, but the allegations does have that

flavour about them. why did nobody at itv speak out about phillip schofield? well, perhaps they feared for their job. you see, that's what unchecked power does. see, that's what unchecked power does . it gives people the does. it gives people the ability to behave in a certain way with impunity. what this whole story has demonstrated to me is the importance of the bbc reporting its own scandals in an open and transparent way, which i've got to say they've done brilliantly . and the importance brilliantly. and the importance of a free press. i salute the sun for having brought the story to light in the first place. their only great crime was reporting to parents us and their concerns about their drug addicted child . the alleged addicted child. the alleged victim a victim who, i should add, denies the story through extensively employed lawyers, suggests that the next labour government will force newspapers to submit to a new government regulator. is truly chilling. putting politicians in charge of

what information we as a public have access to effectively muzzling the press . do you want muzzling the press. do you want mps and cabinet ministers muzzling the press because i don't. the reporting of these allegations must continue apace and any alleged wrongdoing must be brought to light. after all, hugh deserved the truth . hugh deserved the truth. i really should be doing headlines for the sun. listen, what do you think, margaret gbnews.com. many would argue that it's time to move on from this story. there's nothing to see here. the law hasn't been broken. get it hasn't been broken. get over it , dolan. i've got a very good email of that flavour. how about this from john who says, mark, we want facts . that's not we want facts. that's not speculation. and accusations on our watch . wait for the facts on our watch. wait for the facts on hugh.he our watch. wait for the facts on hugh. he has the right of reply. sorry to say, you're being boring. regular viewers for the moment, but not impressed . there moment, but not impressed. there you go. i've been a little bit

of a slapped from john. of a slapped wrist from john. well, is all about well, this show is all about opinions. you opinions. john, thank you for sharing coming. sharing yours. keep them coming. mark gbnews.com. is it time to move on from huw edwards? let's get the view top pundits get the view of my top pundits to delighted to welcome to now. i'm delighted to welcome author and campaigner for children in care chris wild gb news star albie amankona and journalist and broadcaster linda jubilee . chris wild what do you jubilee. chris wild what do you think? is it time to move on from huw edwards because i haven't even started yet. >> yeah, you know, i think i'm done. i'm all you out as well, i think. know, i feel think. but, you know, i feel sorry the family. i feel sorry for the family. i feel sorry for the family. i feel sorry kids. and what sorry for the family. i feel sorry this kids. and what sorry for the family. i feel sorry this shows;. and what sorry for the family. i feel sorry this shows islnd what sorry for the family. i feel sorry this shows islnd just: sorry for the family. i feel sorry this shows islnd just the what this shows is it's just the media bullying him if he kills himself. everybody then will be coming saying, know coming out saying, oh, you know , we shouldn't that. , we shouldn't have done that. leave alone , and leave him alone, live and let live. let family on with live. let his family get on with this they're going this now, because they're going to lot of trauma to go through a lot of trauma over the next years. move over the next few years. move on, bigger stories out there. >> mark albie amankona , is it >> mark albie amankona, is it time move on from huw edwards time to move on from huw edwards >> we will be >> i don't think we will be moving edwards. moving on from huw edwards. edwards because it's a huge story very interesting story and it's very interesting story. i just it hilarious

story. i just find it hilarious how everything sort of ends up on either end of the on being either end of the culture war. you know, you're a nonh culture war. you know, you're a north if you culture war. you know, you're a n> yes. so i think that it will carry on. it might it might tail off for a little bit , but i off for a little bit, but i think it will surge back up again because let's face it, i mean, i'm not sure whether he's actually in a hospital or or maybe some kind of rehab unit. so i don't know how long he's likely to be there for. but the minute he comes back out again , minute he comes back out again, i think the story will surge back up again. and in many ways it should . and what really

it should. and what i'd really like know is when all of this like to know is when all of this clinical depression was going on over a number years , why over a number of years, why didn't seek help then? why didn't he seek help then? why didn't he seek help then? why didn't he seek effective help at that point instead of contacting young men , even if they're over young men, even if they're over 18, why ? why didn't he try 18, why? why didn't he try harder to sort this out? >> but do we know , linda, that >> but do we know, linda, that he didn't and why would mental health issues cause you to procure allegedly poor graphic pictures from a teenager ? pictures from a teenager? >> i don't really understand that, but i do think there's a at the back of mental health, i was told this years ago by one of the greatest addiction experts in this country when you've got perception and reality so far apart, there is nearly always a problem with some kind of addiction . you have some kind of addiction. you have to try and get the perception and reality matched up so they are nearly as one. and clearly that's not the case with huw edwards, which is probably at the heart of his behaviour.

that's true. okay but i think now now he needs to take a look at this and he needs to start treating the issue seriously and forgive me if i'm speaking out of turn. no, no, i would hate him to be suicidal, but somehow now he's got to get on top of this. and actually, if only to support his wife and children. >> okay . well, of course, the >> okay. well, of course, the only thing we know he needs to get of is a health get on top of is a mental health crisis. we have to say very clearly all of the clearly that all of the allegations are just at allegations are just that. at the we're going to the moment, we're going to return to this with the papers at they've great at 1030. they've got some great headunes headlines coming in. but next up, bbc legend from children in need, crimewatch and many other tv hits. sue cook weighs in on this story. sue cook is

radio. it's time now for the newsmaker in which we speak to a fearless commentator on the big issues of the day. >> and let's get more reaction now to the sex scandal engulfing the bbc. an allegations against

one of its biggest stars, huw edwards tonight's newsmaker is a truly legendary broadcaster, none other than the former presenter of bbc children in need. presenter of bbc children in need . crimewatch and many other need. crimewatch and many other tv hits . sue cook. sue, welcome tv hits. sue cook. sue, welcome to mark dolan tonight. are you surprised by these allegations against huw edwards >> well, yes. everybody is surprised, aren't they? it was a terrible shock . you know, we terrible shock. you know, we he's the guy who led us through. he announced the queen's death. he announced the queen's death. he led us through the queen's funeral . and he's led us through funeral. and he's led us through the coronation. he's he's the trusted voice of the bbc. it was the equivalent of david dimbleby . and, of course, we were all terribly shocked . but i think we terribly shocked. but i think we have to rein it in a bit and chill out because we have no actual facts yet . these are actual facts yet. these are allegations. the sun put out these allegations . there's a these allegations. there's a very famous people person. we can't tell you what his name is, but there are shocking allegations . and these these are

allegations. and these these are what happened. these are images , provocative images sent to a 17 year old. absolutely shocking . but we can't tell you who it is . just like they pulled the is. just like they pulled the pin out the hand grenade, pin out of the hand grenade, threw it over the wall and then ducked down behind parapet, ducked down behind the parapet, not there'd a frenzy not knowing there'd be a frenzy of, you know, curiosity . within of, you know, curiosity. within a few days, the word was going around who it was. but i think it's thoroughly disingenuous to make the allegation ions and not carry it through journalistically. we have no actual evidence, no facts, no bank statements, no papers, no letters as far as i know. um and then let everybody then completely explode in this terrible frenzy of stone throwing and agonies. and you know what? we need now is to be a bit calm . calm down. let's the a bit calm. calm down. let's the bbc look at these allegations . bbc look at these allegations. lions bit by bit and i think there's more to come out there. sounds as though there are more people coming out of the woodwork with stories. let's have these stories.

have a look at these stories. let's examine properly the let's examine it properly in the cold light of day and then find out what the truth of it is and decide what to do then. and you say, you know, hugh thinks this is going go away. i don't is going to go away. i don't think anything think he thinks anything at the moment a is in hospital. moment is in a is in hospital. you , having treatment for you know, having treatment for mental health issues, as we all know. and the whole thing is incredibly sad for everybody involved. and i don't think it's nice . it's nice to hear people nice. it's nice to hear people getting so outraged and angry and speculative . let's calm and speculative. let's calm down. well perhaps i'm guilty of that myself . that myself. >> sue. no crime appears to have been committed. does that kill the story ? the story? >> well, no , because if these >> well, no, because if these allegations are true, then. then they. allegations are true, then. then they . they do destroy the trust they. they do destroy the trust of somebody who was a very trusted broadcaster. and obviously, you can't have somebody in a public position if these allegations are true. they can probably sympathise with , can probably sympathise with, you know, perhaps in some ways

why they happened. but no, we can't really make any decisions. we can't decide what's going to happen until we actually know for happened to whom for sure what happened to whom and why. and you know, and the forensic allegation and investigation. and then we can sort things out from there. are you not surprised? >> there hasn't been a denial from huw edwards or at least his representatives ? representatives? >> i would imagine there's legal advice going on, but he's not in advice going on, but he's not in a position by the sound of it to give any kind of statement at the moment . when you had the the moment. when you had the statement his wife . it's statement from his wife. it's just terribly sad, isn't it? because i happen to know that the newsroom at the bbc is absolutely devastated . they're absolutely devastated. they're all absolutely devastated about this. he was a nice person to work with. he they all trusted him , too. they are all in him, too. they are all in a state of shock. it's a very sad situation . situation. >> do you recognise this kind of behaviour from your time at the bbc? obe leaving huw edwards to

one side? >> well, of course there wasn't the social media situation when i was there really, but no, it's not something i recognise really. no, i mean we all have our difficult situations from time to time and whatever the workplace is, i think i don't think actually necessarily we should hold the bbc entirely accountable for what its staff does. any employer shouldn't have to be accountable for what its members of staff do in their private time. i think you can get a little bit carried away with that too . with that too. >> and what about his future? if these allegations don't stand up and he's not found to have been, you know, perpetrate either of these alleged activities , does these alleged activities, does he get back on tv? do you think? what about his future ? what about his future? >> well, if they don't stand up, isuppose >> well, if they don't stand up, i suppose he ought to get back to his previous position . but i to his previous position. but i think , unfortunately, mud does think, unfortunately, mud does stick, doesn't it ? and i think stick, doesn't it? and i think it would it would be an object really to his his trusted

persona, really. i mean , maybe persona, really. i mean, maybe maybe given time , if the maybe given time, if the allegations don't stand up, maybe given some time, then perhaps he could come back. who knows? it all depends on what the outcome is of these allegations. >> indeed , innocent until proven >> indeed, innocent until proven guilty . and i take your point guilty. and i take your point about everyone calming down and having a chill pill. it's a very fair point. do you know huw edwards personally ? no i haven't edwards personally? no i haven't ever met him . ever met him. >> but like like i have huge i've always had huge respect for his his style, his , um, you his his style, his, um, you know, calm, measured , forensic know, calm, measured, forensic journalism. he was he was a wonderful broadcaster . it's very wonderful broadcaster. it's very sad to lose him . sad to lose him. >> well, sue cook, talking of wonderful broadcasters, it is the deepest privilege to have you on the show. i'm your number one fan, and i've always enjoyed watching the box. thank one fan, and i've always enjoyed wat

do it in 2013? why not do it in 2017.7 | just do it in 2013? why not do it in 2017? i just think coming up with all of these plans at this point when we're a year, 18 months away from a general election, isn't going election, probably isn't going to the mustard it comes to cut the mustard when it comes to cut the mustard when it comes to people voting for the conservatives in the next election agree. election. i do agree. >> i think, linda, tories >> i think, linda, the tories represent of what if represent 13 years of what if this is potentially what they call flying a kite, isn't it sort of plant a story in the papers and see how it goes down? >> i think it reeks of desperation as well. i mean, it could be they actually do could be that they actually do think something that could be that they actually do think work something that could be that they actually do think work outnething that could be that they actually do think work out before] that could be that they actually do think work out before the it could be that they actually do think work out before the next might work out before the next election. the fact of the election. but the fact of the matter is, work. there matter is, it won't work. there isn't very much that will work. the for rishi sunak the issue for rishi sunak is that enough time that there is not enough time left , left to achieve what he left, left to achieve what he wants to achieve in the five pillars he has outlined . i just pillars he has outlined. i just don't think there's enough time before the election, which i think probably be in think will probably be in october year . it's think will probably be in october year. it's just october of next year. it's just impossible to do it. so i don't know why this story is being spun around. it's just being, you're right, flying a kite , run you're right, flying a kite, run it up the flagpole and see who salutes it. >> is there any chance the

tories could go to the wire and have january election in 2025? have a january election in 2025? i don't think that's possible, is it? >> it is, yeah, it is possible. >> it is, yeah, it is possible. >> it's the very last moment they can do it. >> i think so. which is what think. >> it's a political equivalent of fergie time. >> so i think think it is >> so i think i think it is possible. think you possible. do you think if you think football fans, possible. do you think if you think tell football fans, possible. do you think if you think tell that. football fans, possible. do you think if you think tell that. ifootball fans, possible. do you think if you think tell that. i thought fans, i can tell that. i thought you were the singer were talking about the singer from ipp. from the black ipp. >> no . and his wife, duchess of >> no. and his wife, duchess of york . that's what i thought, sir york. that's what i thought, sir alex different, different generations. >> but no, not all of my jokes land. >> i can't lie that that was a funny one. >> it landed with me at least anyway. but i do think it could go to the wire until 2025, whatever . rishi kind of whatever. rishi sunak kind of gets position where he's gets to a position where he's thinking, to thinking, well, i'm going to lose general election lose the next general election anyway. going anyway. he's going to think, well, prime well, i just got to be prime minister as as minister for as long as possible, as individual possible, just as an individual . person, what . well, as a person, what would you that situation? you . well, as a person, what would you you'reit situation? you . well, as a person, what would you you're goingation? you . well, as a person, what would you you're goingatiolose)u know, you're going to lose the election. like election. well, i quite like this i'll do it as this job. i'll just do it as long some of those figures, long as some of those figures, though, some of economic though, some of those economic figures, extra figures, you give them an extra 4 months and they fluctuate slightly. >> i mean, that could work. i

think wants as long as think that he wants as long as possible . possible. >> remember what >> but if we remember what happened major in the 1990s happened with major in the 1990s in the lead up to 1997, the economy was actually doing very well. major did not get rewarded for that in the 1990s and 1997 general election. he got punished for it. so i think even if even if he does stop the boats and even if he does cut debt, even he does get debt, even if he does get waiting lists down, grow the economy inflation is halved economy and inflation is halved in he in some miracle, will he actually get rewarded for that at the next general election? well, you he well, why do you think he wouldn't ? because if we if we wouldn't? because if we if we look at what history tells us with major 1990s, the with major in the 1990s, the economy was doing very well with kenneth clarke as chancellor. amazing work in the treasury. i wish he was the prime minister, but i will just leave my love. >> great he's >> he's one of the great he's one the prime ministers one of the great prime ministers we had. we never had. >> it you he's like >> it is, you know, he's like king and i'm a proud tory, king tory and i'm a proud tory, wet and ken. clarke is my wet and ken. ken clarke is my man. point that ken man. but the point is that ken clarke and sirjohn major were not rewarded in the 1997 election for actually doing really good things with the

economy. labour's economic economy. and labour's economic miracle in 1997 was off the back of that great groundwork. >> chris wild do you think that inherit tax is regressive ? inherit tax is regressive? people are effectively taxed twice , aren't they? twice, aren't they? >> yeah and you know, i'm kind of new to politics. i'm just getting into it. but like the last 12 months and i don't really know too much about it such, but it seems to me there's a bit of an armageddon going on and pull stuff and the tories pull out stuff like for you know, like this for me, you know, i don't too much about to don't know too much about it to comment on it as such. well, it's idea, isn't it, it's just the idea, isn't it, that say you buy house that let's say you buy a house and you your life and then you spend your life sort hard. sort of working hard. >> pay off the mortgage and >> you pay off the mortgage and when it goes to your kids for 80% of the value of that property goes goes, goes to tax. now, the tories idea would cost about 7 billion a year. the kids get it for nothing. >> but can i just come back to you this? because was you on this? because i was interested said interested in what you just said previously you previously about you. you actually you don't want the tax to be stopped and yeah, i'm not i'm not exactly i'm not convinced that it should be

scrapped. >> i'd rather see tax cuts for hard working . hard working. >> may ask why? because >> may i ask why? because i didn't really understand. >> well, think you've got >> well, i think you've got a certain if you're going certain i mean, if you're going to there's a pot to do tax cuts, if there's a pot of tax i'd rather of cash for tax cuts, i'd rather see reduce the see it just go to reduce the amount people pay on amount of tax people pay on their . right. and that their income. right. and that would viewers would be my viewers and listeners in hard listeners who put in a hard shift trying make shift every week trying to make ends and think that's shift every week trying to make endsi and think that's shift every week trying to make endsi would and think that's shift every week trying to make endsi would do think that's shift every week trying to make endsi would do it.:hink that's shift every week trying to make endsi would do it. whereas 's how i would do it. whereas i think inheritance tax think cutting inheritance tax only people with only benefits people with significant assets , and i think significant assets, and i think that would be nice. further down the line benefits the rich, doesn't it? >> basically benefits rich >> basically benefits the rich more class. >> basically benefits the rich mo yeah. class. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i mean, you could >> i mean, i think you could argue only thing argue that the only thing proviso that plenty argue that the only thing pr> of course. yeah. listen i'm i'm i own my house in i'm lucky i own my house in london, and i would like to think i die, children think when i die, my children get money. they can go. get that money. they can go. >> not comfortable >> so you're not comfortable with government 40%

with the government taking a 40% share? not. no i'm not. >> absolutely not. no i'm not. >> absolutely not. no i'm not. >> that fly the face of >> does that fly in the face of your left leaning principles? well i no, i don't think it is. >> i'm still entitled to my opinion. i don't have to follow every labour policy out there opinion. i don't have to follow everagreeyur policy out there opinion. i don't have to follow everagree with )licy out there opinion. i don't have to follow everagree with it cy out there opinion. i don't have to follow everagree with it because ere opinion. i don't have to follow everagree with it because ire and agree with it because i don't know, like some of don't you know, i like some of the conservative policies. you know, reason i support free know, the reason i support free thinker the reason i'm thinker and the reason i'm a labour supporter is because i'm a hard class, working boy a hard class, working class boy from . yeah. and i from yorkshire. yeah. and i believe labour policies as believe in labour policies as such , very much old school such, very much old school policies where, you know, we all deserve the chance to live a good life and that's what i believe in. well, i think it's interesting what chris has said there, that the there, because that was the essence wasn't it? >> it was em— >> it was very aspirational. peter mandelson said. i'm very relaxed about people becoming rich and it was tony blair who kept the top rate of tax at 40. yeah i think that's why new labour got in because they were so it was so appealing. >> everyone wanted a new guy in the hot seat, you know, they wanted change. it wasn't really

to do with the conservatives losing it was to do with a new party coming in with a politician who had some charisma, who was accessible to most people. what's interesting , though, is that you think about cutting taxes. and i saw a figure the other week, 21.7% of the people in this country are economically inactive . that economically inactive. that means roughly three quarters of the people in this country are earning the tax that goes into the exchequer. now, you simply can't keep cutting taxes all the time and still preserve services, important services for people. it's impossible indeed . people. it's impossible indeed. >> so can we go to the daily mail now, linda? meltdown, houday mail now, linda? meltdown, holiday crisis as strike threatens to cripple gatwick. second walkout could hit 1 in 3 flights across europe . and when flights across europe. and when you get there, it'll be 45 c. is it time to go to skegness . by it time to go to skegness. by the way? i've been to and can i tell you, it's a rocking town. >> i think blackpool rather than skegness. maybe.

ultimately , i just think that's ultimately, i just think that's just if i think if the due process take course i can, i want to come to you. >> i must stress, by the way, that we do not the gender that we do not know the gender of the victims. so. and of any of the victims. so. and of any of the victims. so. and of the allegations, of course, the allegations, linda think the issue here >> but i think the issue here is, well, there are several issues , but one of them is that issues, but one of them is that we're not talking about a presenter like phillips schofield, who was a largely an entertainment, features sort of presenter. we're talking about a news presenter. the top news presenter and in a way, they do have to be like caesar's wife, beyond reproach because you're presenting the news. >> should anyone be beyond reproach? >> i think i'm really sorry, but i think the really best news presenters need to maintain some sort of position because it's such an important we live in a country which elected boris johnson to be the prime minister serial adulterer. >> we live we live. >> we live we live. >> didn't agree with that either i >> -- >> we live in a country where our king and queen were in a relationship, an extramarital

relationship, an extramarital relationship when they were both married to other people. i just think this whole idea that it's this this kind of almost victorian moral outrage affair is a bit over the top when it's the news and you're delivering the news and you're delivering the news, you have to be in a really cool level, impartial position . position. >> so i think you have to for the bbc for channel 4, he's on the bbc for channel 4, he's on the bbc, but that's what i'm saying. the bbc have got this kind of this screen test before you go into those very, very prominent positions. they've cost, they've known about this man for the past 30, 40 years. we've just had a really we've had well, we've had a discussion. well, we've just discussion . just had a discussion. >> do mean known about >> what do you mean known about this just saying, you >> no, but i'm just saying, you don't one day, as don't just wake up one day, as we discussed earlier, say, we discussed earlier, and say, well, going to well, this is what i'm going to do. this for a do. he's been doing this for a long surely they've known long time. surely they've known about we don't know that about it. we don't know that he's. i'm not mark. i'm he's. no, no, i'm not mark. i'm not but just not saying he has, but i'm just saying when you saying you don't just when you lose yours. lose that house of yours. >> no, no, i don't want >> no, no, no, no, i don't want to get sued, just saying to get sued, but i'm just saying he's like, wake up like it's he's like, we wake up like it's a revolution. >> is just happened. >> like, this is just happened. he's he's you know.

he's been if he's you know. anyway, quiet because anyway, i'll be quiet because i'll into legalities i'll go into legalities here. yeah all right. >> well, listen, chris. chris is very clear there that of course, these are allegations about huw edwards. i'd love having sue cook and said, cook on earlier. and she said, look, take chill look, everybody take a chill pill, the facts, let pill, wait for the facts, let hugh himself. and of hugh defend himself. and of course, do that. but course, we will do that. but i won't do, by way, what i won't do, by the way, what i won't do, by the way, what i won't say that the story won't do is say that the story is there's to is over and there's nothing to see watch. it's see here. not on my watch. it's called journalism, folks. who knew ? next up, my pundits knew right? next up, my pundits will be nominating their headune will be nominating their headline and page headline heroes and back page baddies and i've got more papers. see you .

universe cities pm to limit number of low value degrees. hallelujah i'll be no , no, it's not. >> hallelujah. because if we think about a lot of where a lot of these low value degrees are being taken in, it is often at universities, which would have been polytechnics , which often been polytechnics, which often tend to be in left behind towns. and actually these universities bnng and actually these universities bring a huge economic boost to a lot of these places like huddersfield, bradford , for huddersfield, bradford, for example. so i think we've got to be quite careful when it comes to both limiting international students who go to the universities and trying deny universities and trying to deny , generate the ideas of people going to get a media studies degree from bradford if that's what wants to okay what someone wants to do. okay fair play should do fair play . fair play should do fair play. >> you nominate >> chris wild could you nominate your headline hero of the day? who's caught your eye? who's smiling yes sir, i can. >> and i will wigley is >> and i will say wigley is angela . okay? angela rayner is my hero. okay? and for reasons being, i just think anyone's ever said that sentence before. but you know

so we might just see the odd, more slow moving across more slow moving shower across parts but in those parts of scotland. but in those strong winds, going to strong winds, it's going to continue feeling continue to be feeling unseasonably cool through saturday. looking ahead to sunday, though, generally the better of the weekend for better day of the weekend for many. be some many. there will be some persistent rain for a time across western parts scotland across western parts of scotland and the odd shower elsewhere, but a bit more in the way of sunshine and winds starting to ease go south to north. ease as we go south to north. but looking ahead into the new week it will still remain week and it will still remain unsettled , so as we've unsettled, not so much as we've seen weekend with seen over the weekend with temperatures average temperatures at or below average for the temperatures rising . for the temperatures rising. >> boxed solar , proud sponsors >> boxed solar, proud sponsors of weather on .
