the truth about who it was that falsely divulged his personal data. how can it be right? >> it doesn't matter whether it's me or anybody else. how can it's me or anybody else. how can it be right that my banking status and the amount of money i may or may not have in my personal and business accounts are being discussed out with the business editor of the bbc and then disseminated to a wider world. how can that be ethical? how can that be legal? how can that be moral? i want to find out the truth and i'm blooming well going to find out the truth. nigel farage speaking earlier. >> well, turning our attentions to greece now and the tour operator, tui cancelled all out bound flights to rhodes today up to and including this friday as wildfires continue to spread rapidly across the island . rapidly across the island. nearly 1500 tourists have been flown home in what the greeks are calling the biggest evacuation of its kind . and the evacuation of its kind. and the fires are burning for a sixth day running jet2 and tui both

arranged for repatriation flights today while easyjet and to have planned another for tomorrow here. the foreign office says between seven and 10,000 britons, though, are still currently on the island . still currently on the island. and the greek government says there are currently no fires in residential areas of corfu, despite evacuation orders being issued there last night. some of those who did manage to get on a flight to the east midlands airport told gb news today what they saw before they left. >> i see smoke in the distance, probably a couple of miles away from where we was in hotel , from where we was in the hotel, and gradually got worse and that gradually got worse throughout the night. and as the darker we could see the darker it got, we could see the glow of the fire. suddenly it was like the ash was falling all oven was like the ash was falling all over, all onto the beach and the taverna all over the tables and, you know, sort of quiet what was happening. >> and then we looked over the back of us, over the hills and all the sky was alight . all the sky was alight. >> michael gove has announced plans to create more homes in

the uk's main cities by he says , relaxing planning rules and cutting red tape. the housing secretary says he wants to make it easier to convert empty shops into new flats. for example , and into new flats. for example, and even extend existing homes. the plans will include creating an urban quarter in cambridge plans which were immediately dismissed by the local tory mp anthony browne as nonsense . and lastly, browne as nonsense. and lastly, britain's first million pound footballer , trevor francis has footballer, trevor francis has died at the age of 69. he'd had a heart attack. he joined nottingham forest football club in 1979, helping them to win back to back european cups , back to back european cups, which hasn't been repeated by a british team, including scoring the winning goal against malmo. gary lineker has led the tributes today, calling him a wonderful footballer and a lovely man . on tv online dab+ lovely man. on tv online dab+ radio and the tune in app. this is gb news. the people's.

channel ulez low traffic neighbourhoods green levy taxes heat pumps by stealth. >> the march towards 15 minute cities banning petrol and diesel vehicles, outlining outlawing gas boilers in the months and years to come . those policies years to come. those policies part of the deranged march to net zero, will become as unpopular for as the poll tax . unpopular for as the poll tax. so the electoral opportunity for a party to stand up for the pocketbook and lifestyles of hard working brits over the doom mongering climate, cultist is now overwhelming . but who will now overwhelming. but who will have the guts to challenge the globalist orthodoxy and do what they know is right? we saw the possibility on friday. i mean, sure , it was a disastrous night sure, it was a disastrous night for rishi sunak's conservatives,

but the widely predicted shellacking of the tories did not happen in uxbridge and south ruislip for one reason, and one reason only failed . london mayor reason only failed. london mayor sadiq khan's ulez a policy labour deputy angela rayner vows to now be rolled out throughout the country , conservatives were the country, conservatives were the country, conservatives were the ones that started the ulez scheme and put us on this track. >> but both labour and the conservatives now need to really reflect on that and come up with a scheme because this isn't just about london, this is coming to towns and cities across the whole of the united kingdom. khan to the khan contrast that to the approach of levelling up secretary michael gove, who warned a religious warned against a religious crusade over environmental extremism, noting the evangelical approach of campaign groups . and plans to ditch the groups. and plans to ditch the £180 hydrogen levy on fuel bills, provide landlords more time to meet energy efficiency targets , and a so—called aston targets, and a so—called aston martin, an exemption to give small car makers longer to

convert to electric. >> before that insane deadline is a start. but it's not enough. the banning of petrol or diesel vehicles by 2030 must be scrapped altogether. it is a completely unreal mystic arbitrary target. likewise by the way, the ban on gas boilers by 2035, which will cause ordinary brits just unbelievable pain . now that would set sunak pain. now that would set sunak tories apart from the green ideologues and labour like khan , who is refusing to back down and has made clear he will push ahead with the ulez expansion come what may. but earlier today the prime minister appeared in two minds over where the conservatives stand. yes, we're going to make progress towards net zero, but we're going to do that in a proportionate and pragmatic way that doesn't unnecessarily give people more hassle and more costs in their

life. that's what i'm not interested in prepared to do now, even if he did scale back on the green agenda, there's not an easy road for victory for sunak. let's just be honest about it. the celebrated pollster matt goodwin made clear over the weekend the results are still catastrophic, with an average loss of support average 21 point loss of support swings not seen since new labour in the 1990s. as goodwin warns, many of their own voters are now refusing to vote at all, much like they did in the late 1990s. sitting at home wondering where all the proper conservatives have gone, then emailing me to say they're utterly fed up and want something radically different, we all. all different, as do we all. all sunak has no more time to steady the ship. the moment has come to be bold and reverse the net zero hellscape threatening economic calamity and life style degradation on the folk who deserve that the least . and deserve that the least. and remember the uk is already leading the developed world in

cutting carbon emissions anyway , we've done our bit, but to respond now my superstar panel, the author and journalist lorna dodsworth, the journalist and broadcaster benjamin butterworth, and the former chancellor of the exchequer kwasi kwarteng . i'm laura kwasi kwarteng. i'm laura dodsworth. this feels like a watershed moment . finally, we're watershed moment. finally, we're rising up and saying, no, no, no. we believe in protecting the environment. we do not believe in this mass deranged march to what i'm now calling nut zero. >> i love that term nut zero nutty zero. the thing is, though, dan, the elites don't like it when the people vote with their feet. you know they like democracy until democracy goesin like democracy until democracy goes in the wrong direction. just like the brexit vote. i think it's undenied viable. what this vote means is i this uxbridge vote means is i think it's even worse than a lot of voters realise. that's the thing you see, there's this thing you see, there's this thing in policy called incrementalism. things are brought in bit by bit. so first of all, congestion charge , then

of all, congestion charge, then ulez, then widen ulez out. and now we've got angela rayner saying, oh yeah, of course the whole country, every, every town city. but but sadiq khan is also proposing a per mile to proposing a fee per mile to drive in london. where is this really leading? is this leading to just not having any cars? >> yeah, they want us out of our cdl’s. >> cars. >> i feel like there's something that's really deeply misanthropic at the it misanthropic at the heart of it . and as somebody who bought a diesel when we were diesel car in 2013, when we were told was told that was the environmentally friendly option, i resentful i feel quite resentful about it. look, point i'll trade look, at some point i'll trade in my car, but actually, do you want the ulez expansion is done. it's made my worth less. so it's made my car worth less. so actually at this stage actually upgrading at this stage is more expensive than i ever would have been. >> this is about >> but look, this is about making us poorer, laura, in all sorts of ways, making us poorer by forcing us to install useless heat pumps in our home, for example . kwasi kwarteng. your example. kwasi kwarteng. your party opt community here, party has an opt community here, doesn't it? an opportunity to proper differentiate yourself from labour and just say, look, we went too far, we did too much

too soon, we're going to slow down, we're going to push back these deadlines and we're going to save your your money. >> look, i think that's a very clear , compelling argument that clear, compelling argument that you've put forward. but the net zero or the you call it era, it's net zero, but it's actually the law of the land. >> we've we've legislated for. it doesn't have to be actually 50. dan, as you said in your segment, we are leaders in terms of decarbonise nation. and actually means that there's actually it means that there's an opportunity. actually it means that there's an things opportunity. actually it means that there's an things like, portunity. actually it means that there's an things like, you unity. actually it means that there's an things like, you know, are things like, you know, offshore wind and we've got the second biggest offshore wind capacity after china. there are a whole areas where we're leading decarbonisation. we're leading decarbonisation. we're leading in these green technologies. and whether you like it, dan or not, that's the direction of travel. but we can stick our heads in the sand. >> should hard working brits have to continually shoulder these costs? >> fine. let let the big business do it. but it's not fair for ordinary people who've worked so hard to be facing giving up their diesel and

petrol. >> i hear you on that. >> i hear you on that. >> replacing gas boilers . >> replacing gas boilers. >> replacing gas boilers. >> and that's where i agree with what actually what rishi sunak said that we've got to do net said is that we've got to do net zero, but we've got to be pragmatic and proportionate. you're right. what you're quite right. what happened uxbridge it's happened in uxbridge and it's relevant constituency, relevant to my constituency, people ulez that's people hate ulez and that's something . and the problem that something. and the problem that sadiq was that he sadiq had was that he just wasn't listening. and of course, after he doesn't care and obviously after that byelection , yeah, he is. >> he's a zealot. he's a single minded zealot who actually doesn't give a about londoners. >> all he cares about is that may be true, but what i would say to you. >> it is true, isn't it? >> what i would say to you is that there is a difference between that sadiq khan that there is a difference becompletely that sadiq khan that there is a difference becompletely on hat sadiq khan that there is a difference becompletely on left, adiq khan that there is a difference becompletely on left, onq khan that there is a difference becompletely on left, on the|an is completely on left, on the left on this and completely a zealot. and people who are climate change deniers, because there's i i'm not denier. >> i've got i've got two staples with two things here. first of all, there is no economic advantage for me. the citizen in paying advantage for me. the citizen in paying £12.50 every time i drive anywhere, to anywhere, i can't afford to upgrade car. so economic upgrade my car. so economic advantage need to let

advantage doesn't need to let me let me just finish. i do with where i live and the business and the business i'm in. so actually there's an economic advantage some green advantage maybe for some green companies field, but not companies in that field, but not for the ordinary benjamin corbyn. let's let benjamin come in. is designed to shut down debate . debate. >> okay, i get that. >> okay, i get that. >> and that's exactly because i think kwasi there's a very different between different thing between challenging not zero, as i call it, and being a climate tonight. >> benjamin butterworth isn't this your nightmare for this your worst nightmare for labour? you saw the people are realising labour means ulez up and down the country. rayner admitted that much. >> i mean look, last thursday saw the biggest swing from tory to labour since 1945 and still you would have it believed that it was a bad night for labour. >> so they didn't say that. >> so they didn't say that. >> to be fair. he didn't. he, didn't he didn't he did he just, he just said it's coming across the country. >> look maybe you should host dan wootton tonight in mongolia or because the or beijing, because that's the level that level of air pollution that you're effectively advocating for. if you don't

for. if you don't, if you don't care about any these care about any of these policies, you know, the is policies, you know, the truth is that about being that you talk about people being affected by the cost. first of all, very few people will be affected . and secondly, affected by this. and secondly, the to replace your car the scheme to replace your car to make it more affordable is not enough. and that's the government's fault. >> but the issue with >> no, no. but the issue with that with the oxbridge thing is that with the oxbridge thing is that sadiq. i know sadiq well, he didn't listen. he was he didn't listen. he, he was just to going drive and it just to going drive this and it was kwasi he's right. his was his kwasi he's right. his way is right. he didn't listen to anybody . my borough, lots of to anybody. my borough, lots of other boroughs are now trying to take him to court the ulez take him to court on the ulez there consultation on. he there was no consultation on. he just rammed it down people's throats and people of throats and the people of uxbndge throats and the people of uxbridge the sense he's uxbridge had the sense he's going a thorn the side going to be a thorn in the side of isn't he, benjamin? of starmer, isn't he, benjamin? >> actually sadiq is >> he's actually sadiq khan is slippery . starmer's worst slippery. starmer's worst nightmare because starmer wants to make out as if he's a middle of the road moderate. but actually, we know the future direction. when you look at khan and what he's done in london, well, keir starmer is effectively sadiq effectively criticised sadiq khan, you can khan, so i don't think you can say he's being moderate say that he's not being moderate on he's, he's as good

on it because he's, he's as good as come out against sadiq khan's policy on this one. >> but look, know, fact >> but look, you know, the fact is the poorest people is that it's the poorest people that affected by that are affected by air pollution. only a couple pollution. it was only a couple of ago that we a child of years ago that we had a child that was found to have died as a consequence london's polluted consequence of london's polluted air. and i don't think it's ridiculous that the 8 or ridiculous to say that the 8 or 9 million people who live here should clean air. should have clean air. >> you'll khan incorrectly >> you'll find khan incorrectly said and hundreds >> you'll find khan incorrectly sa londoners and hundreds >> you'll find khan incorrectly sa londoners died and hundreds of londoners died of air pollution, which was proven to be. >> he did manage to pull some proven to thin air. proven to be thin air. >> absolute baloney. laura dodsworth, butterworth, >> absolute baloney. laura dodsw kwarteng, butterworth, >> absolute baloney. laura dodsw kwarteng, superstaryrth, kwasi kwarteng, my superstar panel kwasi kwarteng, my superstar panel. with all panel. and they are with me all night. to come, man, night. but still to come, man, at moment nigel farage at the moment nigel farage received to sensational apologies from the bbc apologies today from the bbc news reporter news chief and their reporter for spinning news about his for spinning fake news about his banking this banking scandal. but is this just start of nigel's just the start of nigel's establishment takedown? he's going me live for the going to join me live for the latest shortly. but next, in the clash, after harry and meghan did best wreck the did their best to wreck the monarchy's the monarchy's relationship with the commonwealth, blitz commonwealth, with a new blitz of tours from senior royals, will be enough to reverse will that be enough to reverse the the sussexes the damage done by the sussexes former aide margaret former aide to margaret thatcher? gardiner,

thatcher? nile gardiner, activist peter activist and journalist peter tatchell and royal scoop guetta at the spectator? kyra kennedy are do battle on this are going to do battle on this next. but what do you think, dan, at gbnews.com vote our dan, at gbnews.com vote in our twitter gb news. the twitter poll at gb news. the results the clash straight results and the clash straight after the .

>> join the live desk on gb news. the people's channel. britain's news . news. the people's channel. britain's news. channel nine nigel farage is coming up live with all of the latest on his

battle with coots. >> but first, the clash . and >> but first, the clash. and they were once appointed heads of the late queen's commonwealth trust. but harry and meghan have since tried their best to trash the monarchy's relationship with its member nations, including allowing it to be called british empire 2.0 in their borefest four fs netflix documents free from wealth is still described as that you know, a club of friends who share common values. >> i find that language really problematic. i sometimes call the commonwealth empire 2.0 because that is what it is. >> make no mistake , the sussexes >> make no mistake, the sussexes have tried tearing apart the commonwealth. now, though , commonwealth. now, though, senior royals are planning a two year blitz of formal visits to protect ties with the former colonial territories. the king, queen william and kate will aim to show, quote, soft diplomacy with nations like australia , with nations like australia, which increasingly suggests they want to go it alone. what do you think ? will new royal tours be think? will new royal tours be enough to reverse this harry and meghan's damage to the

commonwealth? debating this now is former aide to margaret thatcher, niall gardiner, the activist and journalist peter tatchell and royal scoop get her at the spectator. kara kennedy so niall gottalook there there is a lot of damage that has to be undone. isn't there? because maybe in the uk and maybe even to a certain extent in the us, folk are waking up to the lies told by harry and meghan. but in certain countries now, for example, throughout the canbbeanit example, throughout the caribbean it did huge damage . caribbean it did huge damage. >> well, dan , it's great to be >> well, dan, it's great to be here on the on the show today. and as you point out, dan, i think that meghan and harry have done their best to try and undermine the royal family the british monarchy, but also they've done their best to try and undermine the commonwealth as well. >> it's absolute disgrace. >> it's an absolute disgrace. their relentless attacks on what great britain stands for on the world stage and the commonwealth of nations. 56 countries in total, 2.4 billion people there. >> it's a great achievement. so

the british people should be tremendously proud. >> think of the commonwealth and meghan and harry with their narcissism and their nasty ness will not succeed. i think it undermines the commonwealth so greatly welcome the news that senior royals will be travelling across the commonwealth countries in the course of the next few years. very important visits and i do think that the future of the monarchy is in great hands . future of the monarchy is in great hands. i do believe future of the monarchy is in great hands . i do believe the great hands. i do believe the commonwealth is secure for many, many dozens of decades and more as well, actually. and i think that what we are going to see is a stronger commonwealth on the world stage and we're to going see a british monarchy that's going to last for another thousand years. i despite thousand years. i think despite the efforts of meghan and the best efforts of meghan and harry and their arrogance and narcissism . so i do think that narcissism. so i do think that we are going to see a secure monarchy and a very strong and robust commonwealth as well in the years ahead. >> peter tatchell, you're not so certain , are you? you actually

certain, are you? you actually think a lot of this damage done by harry and meghan is not going to be turned around simply by a royal tour from william or charles? >> well, i simply don't believe that meghan and harry have damaged the commonwealth to the extent described the problem with the commonwealth is that countries , as long before meghan countries, as long before meghan and harry said anything, were talking about ditching the monarch king charles, or his predecessor, queen elizabeth, as their head of state. they want to be republics out of the 56 commonwealth member states , only commonwealth member states, only 14 have king charles as head of state and countries like jamaica and antigua and barbuda are already planning to go alone and become republics without king charles as head of state. so that's been long in the making and it lies more particularly in the history of the royal families involvement in the slave trade and in colonisation, which caused those countries great harm and damage. that's

where the anger is coming from and that's the biggest threat to the commonwealth. plus, of course , as most commonwealth course, as most commonwealth member states do not abide by the human rights principles of the human rights principles of the commonwealth charter , they the commonwealth charter, they are, to varying degrees , are, to varying degrees, authoritarian, autocratic states which suppress press freedom and the right to strike and form trade unions. the rights of women and lgbt plus people and in some cases the rights of ethnic minorities as well. so the commonwealth is a commonwealth of often human rights abusing nations . rights abusing nations. >> kyrees kennedy where do you stand on this? >> well, i think i think going back to the state visits is a is a great idea. i mean, if you need a justification for the royal family, which a lot of people do, they're soft diplomacy. this preserving of relationships and creating new relationships and creating new relations ships is really the best justification given that there is. but i do think and i think that previously what we've seen is meghan and harry are

great at one thing, and it's timing . and these overstate timing. and these overstate visits will create quite a big target for meghan and harry to kind of plan and manipulate an and do what they do best. i mean you look at kate and william's first visit as prince and princess of wales which was in boston and that day meghan and harry released the netflix trailer. so having these big events and planned and kind of easy to find the dates for and stuff does create a big target for meghan and harry to attack peter. >> well, you look at the response in the commonwealth countries that kate and william visited. yeah, it was a pr disaster, but that was because of what harry and meghan had done. >> peter no, no, no, no. >> it's because they, it was because they rode around , around because they rode around, around in a jeep looking like prince

philip and the queen. 50 years ago, they came across as arrogant colonial people. >> remember, that was the first tour after the oprah interview. >> niall and i believe and from my reports on this, it's exactly what harry and meghan wanted to achieve. they were trying to derail that caribbean tour for william and kate. and to an extent, it worked out. >> yeah. and i think that meghan and harry have certainly an anti royal family agenda. they have an anti—british agenda, frankly, as well. and they are, i think, two of the most, you know, incredibly miserable and narcissistic individuals on the face of the earth. and they dedicate themselves basically to undermine earning the royal family. the royal family is actually very, very popular in the vast majority of commonwealth countries. most people in the commonwealth admire family and so i admire the royal family and so i think that this idea that, you know , meghan and harry will know, meghan and harry will succeed in their nefarious is deeply unpleasant mission. they're not going to succeed at

all. i think they're already sinking in failures and they are going to fail spectacularly in terms of their attacks on the royal family and their attacks on the commonwealth as well. >> okay. fascinating debate. nigel peter tatchell, nigel gardiner, peter tatchell, kara kennedy speaking kara kennedy love speaking to you who do you agree you always. who do you agree with? will new royal tours really be enough to reverse harry meghan's commonwealth harry and meghan's commonwealth damage ? let's get to your views. damage? let's get to your views. sammy on twitter writes, sammy jo on twitter writes, virtually nobody believes a word they say anymore. so i don't believe there is any real damage to the monarchy. they are still loved world over . aj writes loved the world over. aj writes i truly hope so. let the royals do what they do best and help build positive relations once more. but trudy on twitter says, not in jamaica as much as i like the english traditions of the monarchy, i think it's time for to us leave the commonwealth and your verdict is now on in. wow. would you believe it? 50% of you agree that new royal tours will be enough to reverse harry and meghan's 50. if meghan's damage? 50. if you think won't. first split think it won't. first split decision in a long time.

think it won't. first split decision in a longtime. i think it won't. first split decision in a long time . i love decision in a long time. i love it. good debate . good clash. my it. good debate. good clash. my royal mastermind. lady colin campbell phil dampier campbell and phil dampier exclusively reveal why the democratic party in the us is now distancing itself from the white house. dreamer meghan markle first, though, the markle later. first, though, the weather a looks like things are heating up . heating up. >> boxed boilers proud sponsors of weather on . gb news evening. of weather on. gb news evening. >> i'm alex deakin and this is your latest weather update from the met office for gb news. most of us will see some sunny spells tomorrow, but there'll still be a few showers around and still a little bit on the chilly side. low pressure is edging the low pressure is edging away the breeze is coming down from the north. these weather fronts have been providing some heavy showers, but clearing away from the south coast this evening. another will bring some another one will bring some showery northern showery rain into northern scotland overnight. few scotland overnight. a few scattered showers elsewhere, perhaps south—west england, perhaps in south—west england, southwest wales, but most will be dry and clear and temperatures will drop away down into single figures. certainly

on gb news, the people's. channel my royal mastermind, lady colin campbell and phil dampier on the way. >> but first, what the farage with debunked brexit broker nigel farage and in a significant admission of journalistic incompetence, the bbc has today apologised to nigel for inaccurately reporting the motivations behind the closure of his coutts bank account. the bbc originally reported that coutts closed the account after it fell below the financial threshold required but have now been forced to issue apologies via the bbc news chief executive deborah turness and business editor simon jack after farage political views were exposed as the real reason behind his sudden account closure. cue awkward scenes on bbc's news at six tonight. head

of natwest, which owns coutts bank, has already apologised to mr farage, now the ceo of bbc news , has written to him to say news, has written to him to say sorry and the journalist behind the story has tweeted his apology. >> simon jack tweeted today that the information he based his story on had been from a trusted and senior source. but he added , it turned out to be incomplete and inaccurate . and inaccurate. >> well, well, well. nigel there you go. you have accepted the apology . me. you go. you have accepted the apology. me. but you don't you go. you have accepted the apology . me. but you don't feel apology. me. but you don't feel this is the end of the matter. >> well, dan , i mean, an >> well, dan, i mean, an apology. a public apology from the bbc is a very rare bird indeed. oh, yes. it's the kind of thing that happens, you know, sort of twice a decade. so, look, you know , i got with simon look, you know, i got with simon jack tweet . i got a very nice jack tweet. i got a very nice letter from deborah turness, someone that i know and respect , who is, of course, the ceo of bbc news . and it was interesting bbc news. and it was interesting . i mean, i was very pleased to get the letter. i like her as a

person, but there was a clue inside the letter. and as you your screen scrolls, you will see that they went back to the senior source and double checked the story before before. simon jack, the bbc business editor , jack, the bbc business editor, published it. now a couple of things i think to say about that. the first is simon, jack was right to report the story. no, no question about it. if you're given a story by a senior source about an ongoing big, you know, current affairs matter , know, current affairs matter, i'd cover it. you'd cover it. simon jack covered it. no argument about that whatsoever . argument about that whatsoever. the only question would be what i revealed the truth of all of this last tuesday and wednesday . why were they so slow to apologise? and that's why over the weekend, i went up to the dg. i went up to the director general, tim davie, who by the way, his office treated me with absolute courtesy . and they and

absolute courtesy. and they and they replied , you know, pretty they replied, you know, pretty quickly. so well done then. simon jack , i think might have simon jack, i think might have apologised a little bit earlier. it's taken the best part of a week, but he has. so that's over and done with. you know, everyone in journalism is prone to making mistakes. they happen . we get bad information. you do 7 . we get bad information. you do ? everyone does absolutely . but ? everyone does absolutely. but that reveal darling comment that we checked we checked it and they still said, go ahead with they still said, go ahead with the story. now points the finger firmly back at the natwest group . i'm going to speculate, dan, as to what happened on the evening of the 3rd of july at a big awards dinner. simon jack was sitting next to the blessed dame alison rose, chief executive officer of the natwest group. it would be impossible for them not to have discussed my situation on right the checking was a phone call the next morning, which checking was a phone call the next morning , which would have

next morning, which would have gone something like this. alison ann we had a few glasses of wine last night and it was all great fun. and what you said, is it okay to publish? she says yes . okay to publish? she says yes. and at 9 am. that following morning, july 4th, jack rings me with these accusations and i think we deserve to know the truth and we deserve it. not just because natwest has 90 million customers. we deserve it because we bailed them out after their greed and stupidity back in 2008. and we every any viewer watching this, we jointly still own 39% of it. and i promise you, i will get the absolute truth of this , because, nigel, truth of this, because, nigel, let's just follow your theory through to and i think while we cannot say for sure that rose is the source, it obviously makes a lot of sense . lot of sense. >> there's a lot of circumstantial evidence that you've just outlined . so if that you've just outlined. so if that is the case case, are you saying

that rose would have been deliberately misleading? the bbc? c because of what she knew somebody somebody inside the natwest group deliberately misled the bbc, someone did that. >> we need to find out who it is. and then once we deal with that, we move on to the far more important issue that nigel farage is banking, which is what is happening. farage is banking, which is what is happening . to think now , tens is happening. to think now, tens of thousands of people, especially men and women running small businesses who and i can't even tell you the heartbreaking emails that i'm getting coming in from people all over the country, start ups being literally strangled at birth by the banks, others with impeccable records. but because they take cash , because they run they take cash, because they run a window cleaning business or a fish stall, the bank don't want

to know them. we bailed these people out. our taxes went up . people out. our taxes went up. they've now closed the branches closed the atm machines don't want anyone that deals in cash. and worse still than they are starting to monitor the social media of every single one of us. if ever there was a war between then freedom of the individual and liberty , an authoritarian and liberty, an authoritarian state, political control. this is it. do you know in some ways i've thought to myself over the last couple of days this is more important isn't even than the brexit battle . wow. this brexit battle. wow. this absolutely fundamental because your your your de—platformed from society, aren't you? >> if you lose your bank account . so the question is, nigel, are what needs to be done ? because what needs to be done? because obviously you've got the conservative party making all the right noises. conservative party making all the right noises . we have kwasi the right noises. we have kwasi kwarteng, the former chancellor on superstar panel tonight. on the superstar panel tonight. we'll be talking to him about this after 10:00. he doesn't seem to want there to be a

change in the law, but is that what you're saying? has to happen ? happen? >> he is wrong. right wrong, wrong, wrong . there needs to be wrong, wrong. there needs to be a change in the law and a whole variety of levels . and the variety of levels. and the ultimate where we need to get to in the end is that every individual in this country must have the right to a bank account and the right to establish their own business and their own business account. that is the ultimate end goal. all roads lead to that because increasingly in our society, having bank facilities as important as having water and having heating it has become an absolutely essential service. you know, 40 years ago, wage packets were in cash. everything was in cash. those days have gone.i was in cash. those days have gone. i want of course , for us gone. i want of course, for us to preserve cash. i back the gb news don't kill cash campaign 100. but reality is reality is

reality . and we're living, you reality. and we're living, you know , 90% plus of the population know, 90% plus of the population now buy and sell things online. so you have to have access. you have to have facilities . so the have to have facilities. so the law needs changing and kwasi the anti—money laundering laws designed to stop the international drug smuggling gangs from laundering their money, according to forbes, for every £1 that is stopped and found and caught, the compliance cost is £100, and the victims of that are the innocent tens of thousands who were being closed down. and i got to tell you, don't underestimate me on this. i've got a new crusade. i picked this up. look out, look out. >> established . >> established. >> established. >> but nigel, it would be popular, though, wouldn't it? this would be a popular law for rishi sunak to force through before the election. and god help him, he needs a popular policy. >> whether things are popular or not. can depend on the short

term . the short term moods of term. the short term moods of pubuc term. the short term moods of public opinion. there's a more fundamental point than what's popular . fundamental point than what's popular. it's fundamental point than what's popular . it's what's fundamental point than what's popular. it's what's right. >> yeah. yeah yeah, yeah. >> yeah. yeah yeah, yeah. >> what is right. i do not want to live in communist china. >> what is right. i do not want to live in communist china . i to live in communist china. i don't want to live under a social credit system where the way that you get back into an active part of society is to throw yourself prostrate on the floor and apologise for your sins against the state. i don't want to live like that . and i want to live like that. and i said at the start of this , if said at the start of this, if they can do this to me, they can do it to you. i meant it. >> yeah, well, they did do it to me. hsbc and i wasn't brave enough to speak up about it. and now people are . congratulations, now people are. congratulations, nigel. it has been one of the most significant recent victories against the british establishment in recent history. of course , brexit, which you of course, brexit, which you were a large part responsible for being the other. nigel great

work and i know you'll have more on your show at 7:00 tomorrow night here on gb news. but coming up, you've heard what nigel had to say, but what about the superstar panel? should woke banks be forced to close their doors if they cancel customer accounts based on their political views? kwasi kwarteng on that shortly. but next, the world might be going mad with climate fear, but one man not getting hot under the collar is gb news neil oliver. he gb news star neil oliver. he joins to in on joins me live to weigh in on weather maps, heatwaves, wildfires can wildfires and bbc hypocrisy. can you they've now? you guess what they've done now? neil oliver after this .

my my world, my royal mastermind, lady colin campbell and phil dampier on the way. but neil oliver is tonight's outsider and the bbc wasn't immune from whipping up climate hysteria over the weekend with its reporting of the rhodes wild

fires, which are now believed to be caused by arsonists after doing victory laps celebrating the climate meltdown, msm types were left red faced after greek authorities confirmed the devastating blazes were manmade. but the beeb has now separately taken flack for sending its climate editor 1800 miles to spain to cover the summer heatwave on the continent . this heatwave on the continent. this is the moment correspondent justin rowlett reported live that the heatwave was caused by climate change, adding the blast of heat today in spain. >> it's going to go across into italy already very hot in italy, but it's going to get hotter there. and then finally it will end in greece. >> all accentuate and exaggerated by the effects of climate change. >> climate change is pushing temperatures up and making heatwaves like this longer and more extreme . more extreme. >> the bbc has repeatedly refused to say if rowlet flew to spain by gas guzzling aeroplane, despite pictures from the mail on sunday showing him returning

home to his £3 million london house over the weekend with airline tags on his backpack. so . neil oliver, are the bbc tone deaf or deliberately trolling us now ? well i would say they're now? well i would say they're definitely trolling us. >> and yes, they are. i think it's more than tone deaf. >> i think. i don't think it's that they've got it wrong and that they've got it wrong and that they've got it wrong and that they've misjudged how to handle the situation. >> i think they are rubbing people's noses in the in the idea that they are right and we just have to do what we're told. >> it's hypocritical. obviously because that class , that cohort because that class, that cohort that lectures everyone about everything is hypocritical by nature. there's a culture in the bbc, there's a culture in the self identifying ruling class of do as i say and not as i do. i think what's more important to nofice think what's more important to notice about this story is the

same truth that was revealed dunng same truth that was revealed during the covid debacle, which is to say that same cohort, those in charge , broke their own those in charge, broke their own rules, didn't conform to the ways of life that they were pushing because they know there's nothing they knew. there was nothing to fear from covid and they don't genuinely fear climate change. if people like the bbc climate editor were actually living in fear of the consequences of burning fossil fuels , the consequences of fuels, the consequences of flying in jet planes and so on, then they would live and work differently. they would lead the way and they would make a big show of living differently. they would on the ground. they would stay on the ground. they would stay on the ground. they would they would no means of would they would use no means of transport powered by conventional fuel. it would go further expense. further at their own expense. they be getting rid of they would be getting rid of their their their gas boilers in their homes. they'd be insulating their installing their homes and installing ground heat pumps. they'd their homes and installing grotheir heat pumps. they'd their homes and installing grotheir cars heat pumps. they'd their homes and installing grotheir cars . heat pumps. they'd their homes and installing grotheir cars . they pumps. they'd their homes and installing grotheir cars . they wouldn't hey'd their homes and installing grotheir cars . they wouldn't be 'd do their cars. they wouldn't be eating meat from those methane, expelling herds and flocks. but but they haven't they won't. but they haven't and they won't. and they don't behave in any way like genuinely frightened people watching the sands of time run

out on life planet earth. out on life on planet earth. it's pantomime . it's he's it's a pantomime. it's he's behind you. you know? i mean, if you were in a if you were in a building and you honestly believed it on the believed that it was on the point bursting flames as point of bursting into flames as it just about to combust, it was just about to combust, then walk from room then you wouldn't walk from room to room spilling petrol and smoking a few cigarettes on smoking a few more cigarettes on the that kind of the basis that that kind of behaviour hurt you behaviour wouldn't hurt if you were genuinely frightened you would differently and would behave differently and they don't. >> and neil, it's very interesting, isn't it, looking at the coverage of the roads , at the coverage of the roads, fires, it's almost as if the bbc would disappear pointed when the greek authorities admitted , and greek authorities admitted, and that actually these fires were caused , they believe, by caused, they believe, by arsonists . arsonists. >> yeah, and there's a lot of that around the world and has been for a long time. you know, the fact is this year, the number of wildfires or the percentage of the planet being being wildfires is in being burnt by wildfires is in no way the ordinary no way out of the ordinary against term trends. but against long term trends. but around the world, you know, you see it in california where there

were wildfires. you see it in australia, you see it in other places. a lot of these fires are down to the bad land management , you know, the dry tinder in in forests and on an open ground is being left to accumulate and therefore poses fire risks that that burst out from time to time . um, and yes, there is obviously disappointment because the bbc and others are driving this narrative , those terrifying this narrative, those terrifying , supposedly terrifying temperatures that were being predicted , all starting with predicted, all starting with a 440 this and 40 that were obtained by using satellite images of ground temperature. how hot the temperature, the ground actually was to touch. that's never been the temperature that's used in weather reporting and weather forecasting . on the contrary, forecasting. on the contrary, the temperature is the air temperature a couple of feet above the ground surface. and those figures are still where they always were. so these terrifying figures against those pizza pie burnt maps of europe, red and black with 48 and 46

were not materialise . using the were not materialise. using the true temperatures, the air temperatures which actually happened were in the 30s because the air temperature were still the air temperature were still the same . they're driving fear , the same. they're driving fear, you know, they used fear to try and get control of people during the covid debacle. they use fear to try and manipulate people about what's happening with the land war in europe and because they've run out of any ideas , they've run out of any ideas, they're tired of debate. they've got no more reasoned argument to make when it comes to trying to get control of people. again, it's to make them terrified of the weather . the whole thing is the weather. the whole thing is so transparently blame , stantly, so transparently blame, stantly, dishonest . that and the sooner dishonest. that and the sooner people waken up to the fact that they're being manipulated, insulated by fear, fear of everything. and now it's fear of the summer to, you know, come on, everyone , you know, spot the on, everyone, you know, spot the pattern and turn your back on these people . these people. >> a rallying cry from our very

own neil oliver. neil, thank you. both sides of the story, of course, here on gb news. so a bbc spokesman said the extreme heat, millions of people are experiencing in several parts of the a significant story the world is a significant story relating to climate damage. our journalists are providing additional insight and analysis on from some of the on the ground from some of the hardest regions is now hardest hit regions is now coming up. can you imagine meghan markle as the governor of california or even us president? my california or even us president? my royal master lady colin campbell and phil dampier give their on while the their expert take on while the duchess has told pull duchess has been told to pull her if she's ever to her socks up if she's ever to make the white why the make the white house, why the democrats keeping their democrats now keeping their distance but next, the distance from her. but next, the bbc issues two stunning apologies for their fake news reporting on farage banking scandal. but where do we go from here? my superstar panel debate with the financial institution should close if should be forced to close if they ban customers based on their political views. we'll also have a first look at tomorrow's newspaper front pages hot off the press . that's hot off the press. that's straight after this. don't go anywhere . anywhere. >> the temperature's rising .

chancellor, kwasi kwarteng. and breaking tonight, the bbc has apologised at last to nigel farage for falsely reporting that the closure of his coutts banking account had nothing to do with his political views. nigel received a letter of apology from the bbc over news deborah turness and their business editor simon jack. now this follows the sunday express exclusive of reporting the pm's pledge to shut down the woke banks with bosses to be hauled in front of the treasury if they close customers accounts for political reasons. and just moments ago , so i got reaction moments ago, so i got reaction from the man at the heart of it all. nigel himself. from the man at the heart of it all. nigel himself . kwasi all. nigel himself. kwasi kwarteng, the former chancellor on the superstar panel tonight. we'll be talking to him about this after 10:00. he doesn't seem to want there to be a change in the law , but is that change in the law, but is that what you're saying has to happen ? >> 7- >> he is ? >> he is wrong 7_ >> he is wrong, 7 >> he is wrong , wrong, 7 >> he is wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. there needs to be a change in the law and a whole

know, people are doing know, if people are doing criminal activities or doing things aren't legal, then things that aren't legal, then would they have a right ? would they have a right? >> doesn't that already exist for that? we have police. we have a judiciary system. we have a penal. >> exactly the laws that already people are breaking using their accounts break the law. accounts to break the law. >> different story. >> that's a different story. >> that's a different story. >> that's a different story. >> that a that different >> that is a that is a different thing. but just think that thing. but i just think that there should be strong guidance. these are responsible. they should banks, but should be responsible banks, but they're not. >> laura, you're >> laura, because, laura, you're a all of this a specialist in all of this nudge way that nudge stuff. the way that corporations are increasingly starting citizens starting to judge citizens because they might go against either the woke orthodoxy or the globalist orthodoxy and actually, i think it would be incredibly powerful and popular for sunak to say actually, no , for sunak to say actually, no, this will be enshrined in law your right to a bank account as long as you're a legal, abiding citizen , your right to a bank citizen, your right to a bank account is sacrosanct. >> well, i agree. the thing is, in today's world, you can't et live without a bank account. so taking away someone's bank account is the modern equivalent

of banishment. it's like sending somebody into exile . well, you somebody into exile. well, you know, we already have laws to deal activity. we deal with criminal activity. we shouldn't restricting their shouldn't be restricting their ability just do normal ability to just do normal business. the problem in this case, of course, was nigel didn't know why his bank account had been cancelled. let's not forget it's only him. this has happened other people happened to other people who have been debunked. what happened ? so happened to me with paypal? so what it was is he'd gone against certain shibboleths without certain woke shibboleths without knowing so you knowing what they are. so you have to guess. >> tweeting ricky gervais, what am i allowed to say? >> i allowed to believe? >> what am i allowed to believe? what i avoid doing in order what must i avoid doing in order to not be debunked? so that's one aspect of it. the other thing i'd suggest people need thing is i'd suggest people need to bit further to look a little bit further ahead we're this ahead while we're having this debate whether there ahead while we're having this debate be whether there ahead while we're having this debate be a whether there ahead while we're having this debate be a law ether there ahead while we're having this debate be a law to |er there ahead while we're having this debate be a law to protect; ahead while we're having this debate be a law to protect bank should be a law to protect bank accounts, which i think is a good have at the good debate to have at the moment. course, the bank of moment. of course, the bank of england is consulting on whether we should identity based we should have identity based central digital currency. we should have identity based certhis digital currency. we should have identity based certhis is digital currency. we should have identity based certhis is the digital currency. we should have identity based certhis is the startil currency. we should have identity based certhis is the start potentially so this is the start potentially of social credit of a chinese style social credit system . it could because if system. it could be because if you an identity based cbdc you have an identity based cbdc thatis you have an identity based cbdc

that is programmable , it gives that is programmable, it gives an example, it gives an example in a discussion paper that you could drive in your smart car up to a petrol pump and the payment will happen automatically . but will happen automatically. but actually an identity based currency world, the petrol pump could say to you, you've already dnven could say to you, you've already driven 40 miles this month. that's enough driving for you andifs that's enough driving for you and it's another step further than anything. sadiq khan's currently worth. >> aren't you terrified about where this is heading? it's dystopia , isn't it? dystopia, isn't it? >> i think the idea that this is rishi sunak, you know , great rishi sunak, you know, great saviour a policy is bit saviour of a policy is a bit ridiculous when millions of people can't afford to put the heating i think heating on. i don't think they're up night crying. they're sat up at night crying. please, someone give nigel they're sat up at night crying. please,aomeone give nigel they're sat up at night crying. please,a couttse give nigel they're sat up at night crying. please,a coutts account.gel they're sat up at night crying. please,a coutts account. izl they're sat up at night crying. please,a coutts account. i think farage a coutts account. i think those got. those people have got. >> it's about it's the principle. >> so i think the most disturbing thing about this for me was the idea that a bank, a senior bank official was telling other people how much money nigel had in his account and essentially they were smearing him because he was saying, look, i've been banned because i'm anti—woke. and they said, no ,

anti—woke. and they said, no, no, no, it's because he no, no, no. it's because he doesn't have enough money, which was not true. and i think that's and any had a bank and if any of us had a bank manager that was telling, you know, journalists s how much money we had in our account, we'd be rightly furious. and that's morally wrong. >> , it's not right to >> clearly, it's not right to take bank account off someone take a bank account off someone because of their legally held views. but that that views. but the idea that that should mean that you close the bank preposterous and bank is utterly preposterous and reactionary because, well , you'd reactionary because, well, you'd be taking bank accounts off a lot more people than just nigel farage. >> but actually, what would happen? >> what would happen is the bank would say, okay, we're not going to judge you for your political views, it's obviously views, but it's obviously preposterous if you shut down natwest overnight, you'd crash the because the point the economy because the point something kwasi would be familiar point is familiar with. the point is natwest would change their policy. the reality is, is that there is a grey area here, which is this politically exposed person. >> now correct me if i'm wrong, but think all mps have this but i think all mps have this problem where they try and get a huge change to and that creates a that's a thing.

a that's a huge thing. >> i mean, you know, >> i mean, i mean, you know, there's certain banks where it would take for mp to would take forever for an mp to just an which is, just open an account which is, which is ludicrous. >> people who are related to mps to. look, the to. that's right. now look, the papel at just stop oil are papel pests at just stop oil are finally getting a taste of their own medicine. i'm here for it. so last week remember we showed you the moment of slow walk was stopped by a counter group called just everyone off called just stop everyone off who wore similar bright orange t shirts. well now it's emerged that the clash was led by the british youtubers. these are very clever guys, actually. i find them hilarious. josh pieters and archie manners, they have over 1.4 million subscribers to their channel, and the pranksters pulled off another one of their hilarious stunts yesterday. gatecrashing a just stop oil plant based banquet in in east london, which the eco loons intended as a moment to step back and grieve for what will disappear. so a clip shared online showed the rival activists floating several helium balloons towards the ceiling while rape alarms stashed inside blasted out ,

stashed inside blasted out, ruining their fun. watch . ruining their fun. watch. until they finally paid for by the daily mail. >> and they thanked us for the very difficult problem to solve i >> -- >> and make no mistake, alarm bells will be ringing for just stop oil as the country continues to turn against them. kwasi kwarteng. benjamin butterworth. laura dodsworth do stand by because coming up, bbc woked opium. gary lineker has been forced to distance himself from a vile anti boris johnson film that claims he faked nearly dying from covid. so as the match of the day legend des lynam right that lineker should

shut it and stick to football . shut it and stick to football. more on that in the media buzz shortly. but first, meghan markle's political ambitions were rocked after being denied a ride home on joe biden's presidential plane last year. but is the work shy duchess oblivious to how hard she'll have to graft if she's ever elected in the states? my royal masterminds, lady c and phil d with some exclusive news on meg's white house hopes and her relationship with the democratic party straight after this .

>> gb news is the people's. channel time now for my royal master minds lady colin campbell and phil dampier and meghan markle's rumoured political ambitions were revealed to have taken a humiliating hit back in september with her and prince harry reported to have begged joe biden for a lift back from the late queen's funeral on air force one. >> a rare moment of clarity. >> in a rare moment of clarity. sleepy biden rejects the desperate duo's request crushing their chances of being photographed climbing the hallowed steps of the world's most famous aeroplane, writing in the telegraph, gb news presenter kamil tominey commented, the duchess has thought to entertain political ambitions , but what the pair ambitions, but what the pair appear to have forgotten is that in order to gain a reputation as a leading statesperson or philanthropist, you actually have to have something

have to have done something wrong. now, lady c, you're heanng wrong. now, lady c, you're hearing that the democrats over in washington are actually desperate to distance themselves from meghan markle. tell me more i >> -- >> well , yes, >> well, yes, but >> well , yes, but not only >> well, yes, but not only in washington andan also in california , to my understanding california, to my understanding , is that the democrats are the ones who leaked the air force. >> one scenario. but even more important, i have been hearing in the last 36 hours is that that gavin newsom has has been harassed by meghan to such an extent for her putting forward heridea extent for her putting forward her idea that that they should allow her to step into diane feinstein's shoes , which would, feinstein's shoes, which would, incidentally give her access to the intel science committee because that goes along with the

seat and dianne feinstein is a member of the intelligence committee and he's got so fed up with her position instance, that he has given instructions that her calls are not to be received and not to be passed on to him. and he has personally blocked her from his mobile phone. so that's the governor of california . california. >> yeah. so you're hearing the governor of california, gavin newsom, who was believed to be a big supporter of meghan and harry, is now distancing himself from the couple. >> yes. well, especially from her. she's the one who wants to fill dianne feinstein's shoes. she wants to be parachuted in as the temporary, uh . senior senior the temporary, uh. senior senior democrat governor. so sorry , not democrat governor. so sorry, not governor, senator , senator for governor, senator, senator for california . and this access to california. and this access to the intelligence committee, uh, which of course, immediately

means that she and harry would then have to have their ipp status restored in britain. i mean, you know, she's extremely conniving and clever, but . but conniving and clever, but. but she's outsmarted herself because they've had enough of her and they've had enough of her and they don't want to know. she's been told no . and she is been told no. and she is incredibly persistent and evidently and they have. and he has given instructions that she is to be blocked . is to be blocked. >> okay. >> okay. >> now , look, this is on >> now, look, this is on a similar note because cause over the weekend, phil channel five actually aired a new documentary titled meghan for famous but friendless , which is pretty friendless, which is pretty brutal. but here's what the hollywood correspondent ross king from itv had to say. >> the spotify deal collapsing made a lot of us think is this the first sign of running out of steam for meghan? >> a joint statement by spotify

and harry and meghan said that spotify and archewell audio have mutually agreed to part ways and are proud of the series we made together . together. >> if it was working for both parties, it would not end . parties, it would not end. >> it's obviously been some disagreement, maybe some level of disappointment on possibly both sides . both sides. >> so, phil, it's interesting , >> so, phil, it's interesting, isn't it, because you've got lady c talking about the political friends falling away . political friends falling away. uh, that documentary really brutal documentary, famous but friendless on channel five, talking about the hollywood friends falling away. what's your take, phil? yeah good evening, dan, i didn't actually see the channel five documentary, but ross king's been out there many years , been out there many years, hasn't he? >> and he's got some very, very good contact. so if he's saying this, i tend to think that, um, you know, he knows what he's talking about, but fascinating stuff lady c about stuff there from lady c about the not wanting the democrats not wanting to touch her bargepole. touch her with a bargepole. i mean, think that seems to be

mean, i think that seems to be the mean, we talked the pattern. i mean, we talked about last about this a little bit last week, and i honestly think her best would be to stick to best bet would be to stick to the lifestyle, get the tig up and running some and running again, do some commercial things that. commercial things like that. i don't she's cut out to be don't think she's cut out to be a politician. anne trump was an exception. people exception. lots of people have been for years to been asking him for years to stand president, but was stand for president, but he was the only person who's been able to come and without any to come in and do it without any previous experience. previous political experience. i mean, ronald reagan was involved with actors in with the actors union in hollywood. then he became governor eight governor of california for eight years. hillary clinton was years. and hillary clinton was a senator beforehand. i don't think got the hard work think she's got the hard work ethic all that, all the ethic to do all that, all the groundwork to make her a potential president. so just to me, just a non—starter here. >> yeah. and of course , that >> yeah. and of course, that dianne feinstein situation is potentially be coming quite close because i believe she's about 89 years old or something now. so potentially that that senate seat will become very appealing. but look, speaking of elderly people, an 88 year old

us navy veteran who lives next door to harry and meghan has blown their big blind, bluffing, wide open as he admitted he had been rudely turned away at the gates of their montecito mansion by a security guard who insisted the couple were, quote, not interested in a gift of home made movies. the gentleman had made movies. the gentleman had made about the prestigious gated community its history . lady community and its history. lady c that's not very nice , is it? c that's not very nice, is it? surely they should have welcomed this lovely good samaritan . in this lovely good samaritan. in >> well, come on, dan, why would such a glorious couple have done something with somebody who was something with somebody who was so insane ? significant? i mean, so insane? significant? i mean, you seem to forget you're deaung you seem to forget you're dealing with truly great people who cannot condescend to be with anybody or anything. that's not anybody or anything. that's not a triple a list. the problem, of course, for them is that all the a—listers are are distancing themselves from them. i mean, really, it is such poor form .

really, it is such poor form. you know, they have no manners. and not only do they have no manners, they have no humanity. i mean, what would it have cost them to receive the man and to be nice to him? but of course, it would have cost them their time , which is too precious for time, which is too precious for all three people. and then they have the unmitigated gall to lecture to everybody about how we should be behaving and what we should be behaving and what we should be doing. well, they actually see at all times do what they should not be doing and practically never end up doing what they should be doing. hence why they are both on mitigated to and totally acknowledged failures . acknowledged failures. >> as phil is it possible, phil, that maybe they just didn't know that maybe they just didn't know that this guy had shown up ? that this guy had shown up? >> i mean, i've just read this story today and it sounds like the guy, as you say, 88 year old guy, had the best intentions, wandered up to the house, spoke to someone in security. and it

is that the guy from is possible that the guy from security told him to go away thinking was bit of thinking he was a bit of a troublemaker and didn't actually tell meghan. that tell harry. and meghan. but that in lady c says, is a in itself, as lady c says, is a bit of a indictment of the bit of a sad indictment of the way they're the fact way they're living. the fact that living this that they're living in this bubble. they're interested bubble. they're only interested in rich and in dealing with the rich and powerful. really powerful. they're not really meeting and that meeting normal people. and that was thing about harry, was the great thing about harry, wasn't was that's what wasn't it? that was that's what made him so popular with the british public that we he british public that we felt he was and he was down was one of us. and he was down to earth and he's lost all that. but is another but there is another possibility, suppose, possibility, i suppose, why they're interested the they're not interested in the history that's history of montecito, and that's perhaps might be perhaps because they might be moving soon. i mean, as a report over the weekend that they've been at properties in been looking at properties in malibu, it's about malibu, i'm told it's about three into central three hours to get into central l.a. montecito. there's l.a. from montecito. there's a lot celebs and lot more lot more celebs and a lot more going malibu. a easier going on in malibu. a lot easier to get central town. so to get into central town. so maybe they're not to be maybe they're not going to be there much longer. get rid there that much longer. get rid of 16 bathrooms down of their 16 bathrooms and down size to beach house on the size to a beach house on the beach in malibu. you never know. >> fascinating insight, right as ever our royal masterminds, ever from our royal masterminds, lady and d. thank you lady c and phil d. thank you both . we'll speak in the

led other countries to actually clarify their own rules. miss italy organisers coming out fighting and confirming that trans women will not be allowed to compete in the competition, telling italian media that they will not jump on the glittery bandwagon of trans activism. where do you stand on this? laura dodsworth well, i'll be honest, i can't get us worked up as i would about say , women's as i would about say, women's sports prisons or sports or women's prisons or other places where sex based spaces and rights important spaces and rights are important because it's just a beauty contest. >> but that said, you know, it really depends what the purpose of a beauty contest is. if a country say it's for country wants to say it's for biological , then so be biological females, then so be it. it's about who's the it. if it's about who's the prettiest, i'd say normally by logical females will actually have an advantage in beauty contests. what was strange about the miss netherlands beauty contest and you know, excuse me , because i don't actually normally to comment on normally like to comment on people's physical appearance, but one instance which but this is one instance which demands winner demands it really the winner wasn't pretty. wasn't really that pretty. i felt sorry for the felt really sorry for the runners and so idea that runners up. and so the idea that you it was a political you thought it was a political thing. >>

t— @ people want to >> yeah, because people want to look . look woke. >> to look like they >> they wanted to look like they were supporting the right contestant, but the right contestant, but the right contestant been, contestant should have been, surely. understand what surely. do you understand what italy's here? italy's doing here? >> trying to say, you >> benjamin trying to say, you know, female competition should >> benjamin trying to say, you kn> benjamin trying to say, you kn> mean, italy is a deeply >> i mean, italy is a deeply bigoted country. you know, it's views close views on social views are close views on social issues russia than issues are closer to russia than britain. it's really very homophobic. so it's no surprise that transphobic as that it's very transphobic as well know, netherlands has well. you know, netherlands has led the way this, you know, trans women are women. and here they can be celebrating. >> them in the same in >> you put them in the same in the women's jail, would you? so this case in scotland where a rapist it became a trans rapist it then became a trans woman and then was put into a female prison. you back that. no because that this is what because that person this is what sturgeon lost her job identified sturgeon lost herjob identified as a trans woman. >> but let's not go into all of that. what what about that. what about what about i just something. don't just say something. i don't think be talking think you should be talking about people making a career choice, lifestyle choice to go choice, a lifestyle choice to go into a beauty pageant , comparing into a beauty pageant, comparing them to rapists and prisoners. >> that's what that's what >> well, that's what that's what it's about. >> it's about sex based rights.

thing. she's done five years in banking in this country. it's a miracle if you last literally more than about 24 months. right. will the chief right. or it will be the chief executive of coutts. now, my issue in all this, of course, i'm a coutts customer and today they out a survey asking you they put out a survey asking you what you thought of coutts. i can't imagine in what the results are. so i urge coutts to pubush results are. so i urge coutts to publish those results. they will be catalysts trophic so the ceo has to go in order to end the problem . problem. >> well come on i'm hearing. i don't know if you feel the same or if you've spoken to fellow coutts customers, but i'm heanng coutts customers, but i'm hearing there are a number of high net worth individuals who are disgusted by are completely disgusted by coutts conduct and are three threatening to take their business elsewhere. >> well, reason that they >> well, the reason that they have problem there, but have a slight problem there, but the reason they are discussing because it all because normally coutts it all goes very quietly and goes all very quietly and everybody, very goes all very quietly and everyb(it's very goes all very quietly and everyb(it's all very goes all very quietly and everyb(it's all you very goes all very quietly and everyb(it's all you know,ary goes all very quietly and everyb(it's all you know, you happy. it's all you know, you want to borrow £10 million, that's be by that's fine, it'll be done by wednesday. now none of this can happen right. everything will be

in the spotlight. no bank like coutts wants publicity . kwasi so coutts wants publicity. kwasi so the situation is quite clear. somebody is going to go in all this. it's either the ceo of coutts and if you're watching, if you're if the ceo is now watching of course i'm a customer there i hope i'm not going to suffer what is knowing now known as a farage ism. you're safe now, thanks you're probably safe now, thanks to farage. you're probably safe now, thanks to i farage. you're probably safe now, thanks to i faragle. you're probably safe now, thanks to i faragl am. >> i think i am. >> i think i am. >> i think i am. >> i don't want to come hiding behind my grandfather. >> nigel farage covid other big media weekend. itv media news from the weekend. itv which is looking to try and save this the departure this morning after the departure of schofield , is set to of phillip schofield, is set to sign holly willoughby. but what's interesting about this, i'm here on i'm going to sign here on a bumper contract apparently bumper new contract apparently worth £700,000 with out worth over £700,000 with out a permanent co—host . so a bit like permanent co—host. so a bit like good morning britain host piers morgan, where susanna reid just sits alongside a rotating bunch of folk that are signing. holly is the star. will that save the show? >> no, nothing will save the show. now what these shows have a shelf life , and normally the

a shelf life, and normally the pubuc a shelf life, and normally the public tire of it now the stars appear to be tiring of it and nobody seems to be getting on with each other. alison doesn't get on with this other fellow and everybody, nothing is going to now, i'm afraid . it's to work now, i'm afraid. it's just no good now. they've have to her more because to pay her more money because otherwise becomes a free. otherwise she becomes a free. now, however , a freelance she now, however, as a freelance she wouldn't be making 700 grand to a million. she'd be, know , a million. she'd be, you know, things quite nice. she things would be quite nice. she doesn't she doesn't a doesn't have she doesn't have a cost living crisis. but what cost of living crisis. but what she won't make the same kind of money. actually , she had to money. so actually, she had to sign deal and actually they sign the deal and actually they were pleased have her because were pleased to have her because it certainty now for it gives some certainty now for the 18 months. but the next year, 18 months. but the next year, 18 months. but the audience will survive. the audience will not survive. the audience will carry on drifting down because broadcasts because the future of television is either online or it's in smaller stations like yours. right? so the big broadcast masters, it's a disaster right now . channel masters, it's a disaster right now. channel 4 masters, it's a disaster right now . channel 4 five, complete now. channel 4 five, complete catastrophe . there are no ads, catastrophe. there are no ads, nothing. it's an uncomfortable

oil. but holly is doing fine. and i'm sure she'll be in work. but we're probably never going to see those big moments again of like, fern and phil or richard and judy or holly and phil those days, nobody in their right the exception right mind, with the exception of chief executive of of the chief executive of coutts, is likely to want to go on this morning in order to talk about some issue if they want to do something without any pressure they will do pressure at all, they will do a podcast. that's the future , i'm podcast. that's the future, i'm afraid of that kind of maricopa media change in media landscape. >> kelvin mackenzie, thank you so much. we'll speak to you later in the week, but it's time now to reveal tonight's greatest britain and union jackass the superstar panel return laura dodsworth , straight to you and dodsworth, straight to you and your greatest britain nominee, please. >> my greatest britain nomination is just stop peeing everyone off. >> i love this. >> i love this. >> in this part of the show where we take a lot of fun lampooning people. what this counter—protest group has done is lampoon just a oil. frankly,

the nation needed a laugh, but not just that they've stopped some posh kids from stopping mums, from getting people to hospital and stopping people getting to work. they've done a great service and they've done it with a lot of humour. >> exactly. that's what i was going to say. you know, i get very angry about it. nice to see it done with humour. benjamin butterworth, your nominee. >> my greatest britain is george alagiah. the at six alagiah. the news at six presenter foreign presenter and foreign correspondent fondant, who died of today . and i think he of cancer today. and i think he was clearly one of the was quite clearly one of the best news correspondents. there's and leaves a there's been and leaves a remarkable legacy of work, terribly sad news that today kwasi kwarteng your greatest britain nominee. >> so my greatest britain today is steve tuckwell because he's the latest mp , my latest the latest mp, my latest colleague. and he was totally written off. people just said there was no way the conservatives were going to win. there was no way that steve was going to get elected. he's a local man, a local councillor , local man, a local councillor, and he's done a fabulous job in

getting himself elected, very much against the odds. >> well, look, i'm >> okay, well, look, i'm actually to go laura actually going to go with laura dodsworth and just stop people actually going to go with laura d0(because|nd just stop people actually going to go with laura d0(because|nthink stop people actually going to go with laura d0(because|nthink anything ple off because i think anything that that tells these just stop oil people to stop is a good thing. laura who's your union jackass nominee? >> my union jackass is humza yousaf because he wants the snp to have another independence referendum . but while he wants referendum. but while he wants independence for scotland, he doesn't want independence for the scots themselves. first of all, there was the hate crime bill reaches into people's bill which reaches into people's homes and almost controls what they say. but even worse, he's gone a terrible step too far. and what he wants is that scottish homeowners have to have epc rating of c and above by 2025, which basically means that thousands of scottish people won't be able to sell their homes install homes unless they install expensive pumps . expensive heat pumps. >> benjamin butterworth, your union jackass nominee. >> mine is charlotte owen ennobled today as baroness owen of alderley edge, a title i was hoping for, having grown up in

the village of alderley edge. so i'm livid. she's taken it from me. but on a more serious note, the idea that a 30 year old who did a couple of months in downing street and was an intern in parliament is now in parliament before that is now in parliament before that is now in of lords for the in the house of lords for the entirety of her life 60 or 70 years is an absurd insult to the british people and kwasi kwarteng annual union jackass nominee. >> had steve tuckwell as my >> so had steve tuckwell as my great britain and my union jackass is sadiq khan. he clearly lost that election for labour with his ulez scheme. he's ramming that down people's throats. he's not listening . throats. he's not listening. he's not taking any consultation. and i think he's very much deserving of the union jackass title tonight. yeah >> yeah. it's gosh , this is like >> yeah. it's gosh, this is like a real tough one for me because you've got humza useless on one side. and i think it's absolutely ludicrous that given the state of the snp , the state the state of the snp, the state of scotland, he's continuing to push this deranged march to separatism. but i have to say,

after the weekend , it's got to after the weekend, it's got to be london's failed mercedes khan as tonight's union jackass. he single handedly lost labour that seat. single handedly lost labour that seat . he's single handedly lost labour that seat. he's now causing huge issues with ulez and as angela rayner said, it's going to spread across the country. folks, if you stick with that party. kwasi kwarteng , benjamin party. kwasi kwarteng, benjamin butterworth, laura dodsworth, thank you so much for being my first superstar panel of the week. i'm back again tomorrow night from 9 pm. with laurence fox , megan kelly and tom bower. fox, megan kelly and tom bower. headune fox, megan kelly and tom bower. headline is next. good night. >> the temperature's rising . >> the temperature's rising. boxt solar proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. weather on. gb news. >> evening i'm alex deckard and this is your latest weather update from the met office for gb news most of us will see some sunny spells tomorrow, but they'll still be few showers they'll still be a few showers around still a little bit on around and still a little bit on the chilly side. low pressure is edging away. the breeze is coming down from the north. these weather fronts have been providing some heavy showers,
