and this is breakfast on. gb news. good morning to you. you like a drink, don't you? >> i do not whilst i'm working. no, but yes, i've got a favourite tipple, gin or or, red wine. >> rac. we need a beer drinker . >> rac. we need a beer drinker. paul coyte you a beer drinker? >> yeah, of course i'm a beer drinker. yeah, i do sport, don't i? of course i'm a beer drinker. right. >> because you think such a thing. because. well, because you've introduced this new beer, the brewing, this new beer, which is, the equivalent of what they used to drink 5000 years ago. >> it's like a mead . >> it's like a mead. >> it's like a mead. >> it's like a mead. >> it's a sort of a mead thing. yeah. and it's made with honey and all this sort of stuff. and you can buy it now in cans. >> oh, really? it's quite nice. >> oh, really? it's quite nice. >> why would you think, though? automatically. i'm a beer drinker. what would it be? that's just such a lad. because i'm such a lad. >> yeah, yeah. there you go. you talk about football. would you have a pint of that, though? >> well, would have you got some

with you then. >> no, it'd be quite sweet. you'd think. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. i don't even know what you know what mead is because it's always like whenever they talk about old beer they go, oh, it's a mead. well it sounds. >> yeah. no i don't know what it is that hops. >> yeah. hops. mead all that beer business. >> i'm gonna look that up. >> i'm gonna look that up. >> yes. we make them spelt. yes, fermenting honey and water together. >> are you. are you a lager man? are you a lager man? cold lager been are you a lager man? cold lager beer. a lager and lime. >> oh, lager and lime. >> oh, lager and lime. >> my dad always used to. always used to have a lager and a lime. yeah. love the lager in life. >> that sounds quite nice. yeah. would you have a zero top lager? top zero alcoholic mead? yes. with honey. yeah. >> no, honey might mess me up a little bit. i love honey, but it's not. >> that was always big. that zero alcoholic mead was always big for people that would drink drive on their carriages. back in the 1500s. that's it. so that's what they used to have made it very popular. that's what they used to have. yeah. >> lovely. paul, we'll see if we can get some cans in. >> well, well let's have a nice, nice morning, shall we?

>> we should do a taster. >> we should do a taster. >> lovely. paul. we'll see you later on. thank you, shall we go to scotland now? where tensions are simmering after the greens revealed they plan to vote against the first minister, humza yousaf, in a vote of no confidence. >> yes. the decision follows the collapse of the snp's power sharing deals with the greens yesterday, leaving mr yousaf in charge of a minority government. >> well, the no confidence motion proposed by scottish conservative leader douglas ross, who branded the snp leader weak and a failed first minister. >> well, joining us now is gb news political correspondent. olivia utley. good to see you this morning, olivia. and will humza yousaf survive this? do you think ? you think? >> well he is just clinging on by the tips of his fingers and incredibly vie the decision. the kingmaker in all of this is a woman called ash regan. now ash regan, for those of you who don't know, was an snp mp. she went up against humza yousaf in the leadership election . they

the leadership election. they had a big, big falling out over trans rights. ash regan is of the jk rowling mindset and was worried about the erosion of women's rights in the end, she defected from the snp and joined alba , which is alex salmond's alba, which is alex salmond's nationalist breakaway party. when she went, humza yousaf said that she was at no great loss to the snp, but she now has a very, very important position and i expect he's wishing he didn't say that. she is the only alba mp. she's the only other nationalist msp in holyrood and because the snp is one seat short of a majority in holyrood, we've got to assume that the whole of the snp will vote for confidence in humza yousaf. everything now rests on what ash regan decides to do if she votes to keep humza yousaf in, then he can cling on to his job. but if she decides to vote, no confidence in him , then his confidence in him, then his position becomes completely untenable and he has to go.

there are those who are saying that even if he manages to win this vote of no confidence, his position is still untenable . position is still untenable. next time there is a vote in holyrood, which will presumably be quite soon, the conservatives, labour and now the greens , the snp's former the greens, the snp's former coalition partners, will all vote against the snp. the snp will lose vote after vote and it will lose vote after vote and it will become impossible for humza yousaf to keep his job. so either way, it seems as though he made a pretty major miscarriage. elation in ending that coalition relationship with the greens. i don't think he quite understood the strength of feeling from the greens, but for now, his future rests in the hands of a woman who he said it was no loss losing her from the snp. let's see how that plays out . out. >> did he have much of a choice though? i mean, the greens were talking about leaving anyway, weren't they? didn't he just beat them to it ? beat them to it? >> i mean he did. it was it was a sort of a bit of a question of the tail was wagging the dog in

this snp green coalition, the snp obviously had far, far more seats in holyrood than the green party did. and actually, as i say, the snp was only one seat short of a majority. and yet somehow the green party seemed to be sort of setting the agenda for the snp. and again and again tensions were coming out . there tensions were coming out. there were all sorts of bills, for example, humza yousaf dropping that net zero commitment, obviously really , really angered obviously really, really angered the greens. and so it was a marriage made in hell really, between the two parties and humza yousaf , you could argue, humza yousaf, you could argue, had no choice. the greens may have jumped anyway , but the way have jumped anyway, but the way he handled the situation seems to have informed claimed things perhaps more than was necessary . perhaps more than was necessary. and there are lots and lots of people in scotland at the moment saying that humza yousaf just hasn't really been a very good politician, that said, he has been dealt a very, very poor hand. he came in to be the nicola sturgeon continuity candidate and obviously, as we've seen in the last six months or so, being the nicola

sturgeon continuity candidate might not be the best position in the world right now . now her in the world right now. now her husband has been a rearrested . husband has been a rearrested. she very much is under a cloud of suspicion now. so humza yousaf was dealt a bad hand but he seems to have played it quite badly . badly. >> okay, olivia, whilst we've got you wanted to ask you about the new gb news poll, which suggests that labour are i! suggests that labour are 11 points ahead of the conservatives when it comes to gb news viewers voting intentions. >> yeah, and i mean, obviously that that's pretty worrying for the prime minister. we have seen worse polls often. the labour is more like 20 points ahead in the polls. but the fact that audiences like ours, who sometimes tend to be a bit more sympathetic to the sort of conservative cause, are now much keener on on the idea of a labour government. the same is true , by the way, of telegraph true, by the way, of telegraph readers. daily telegraph readers would now like to see a labour government, perhaps will show the prime minister that, you

know, things are things are really coming to an end unless he can do something pretty drastic pretty soon. of course, what he is hoping is that he can pull a rabbit out of the hat with some deportations to rwanda. that bill has now received royal assent. the flight should be taking off soon and rishi sunak is hoping that that will give him the boost that will give him the boost that he really, really needs before those local elections next week. if the local elections go a bit better than expected, then he has a bit more breathing room and perhaps he can hope to see a bit of an upfickin can hope to see a bit of an uptick in the polls. at the same time, rishi sunak will be hoping inflation will continue to go down. interest rates will hopefully go down, people's mortgages will start to look a bit more rosy and maybe, just maybe in six months time, he'll be in a better position than he is now. that seems to be what he's banking on when he decides to go for an election in the second half of this year, rather than a summer election . than a summer election. >> this is great news for keir starmer, though, because when you look at some of the questions here, i mean, it

almost seems like labour party policy, 72% of gb news viewers think the government isn't tough enough on crime, 66% of gb news viewers think the government should spend more on the nhs, and three quarters think immigration is too high, but 49% think the uk should stay in the echr >> yeah, it's a fascinating mix of questions there and as we've seen time and time again, what seems to be happening is labour is stealing the tories clothes on issues like immigration, on issues like crime, on issues like defence. these are things which the conservatives naturally are stronger on. normally we see labour kind of winning on issues about health care. labour is often , thought care. labour is often, thought to be more trusted with the nhs, but on issues like defence, immigration, crime, those should be the, those should be real tory winners. but at the moment they are not. and keir starmer is very deliberately trying to , is very deliberately trying to, trying to take that centre

ground in the last 3 or 4 years since he first became labour leader , that his shadow cabinet leader, that his shadow cabinet has become pretty much unrecognisable when he started, it was the sort of left wingers in the model of jeremy corbyn. now he has a shadow cabinet full of blairites and that is because he wants to get that centre ground. he wants to steal the tories clothes on these issues like crime, like immigration, like crime, like immigration, like defence. will it work out well , i think like defence. will it work out well, i think it probably will. but rishi sunak is just hoping for that little bit of breathing space over the next six months after the local elections. >> okay . olivia utley, good to >> okay. olivia utley, good to see you this morning. thank you very much indeed, i'm just thinking i was going to say let's have a poll on twitter, but actually, we don't need to do that now. >> no we don't, do we? >> no we don't, do we? >> no. with gb news. com name.your. say, what if you're on there ? get on there. log in. on there? get on there. log in. >> i'm doing it right now. >> i'm doing it right now. >> all you have to do is just send a message saying, sunak or starmer, one of the one of the

two. so who you'd like to be prime minister after the next. >> you're full of creative ideas. >> i am, i am, yes. so there you go.sunak >> i am, i am, yes. so there you go. sunak or starmer? just put one word in and just give us an idea of. and then this is completely unfiltered, well kirsty cat says guessing reformer. no good. i'm voting them screw the big two. >> yeah, but i'm just thinking in terms of who would be prime minister, because it's not likely that richard tice will become prime minister or nigel farage if he were to stand, either they're not going to win, they're going to have an impact, but not enough to become prime minister. so i'm just thinking of those two who are one of one of those two who are one of one of them is going to be prime minister which one do you want to see? yeah. >> keep them coming in and we'll keep a keep a close eye on that won't we? throughout the programme. yeah. now in a landmark legal ruling, disgraced hollywood film producer harvey weinstein has had his 2020 new york rape conviction overturned due to a crucial mistake made by the trial judge. yeah the court found he didn't get a fair trial

after the judge called witnesses whose accusations were not part of the case against him. >> mr weinstein found guilty of raping and sexually assaulting two women, but is now entitled to a retrial . to a retrial. >> well, weinstein will remain in prison, though, after being convicted of a separate rape in los angeles. but the expected retrial of his new york case could mean victims are reliving the saga all over again. >> let's talk to showbiz reporter stephanie takyi. yeah, i mean, it's this is frankly extraordinary. >> it is. and it's very much a big blow to victims of sexual assault and also the victims who bravely stood and took part in the court cases. you know, for many of these women coming forward and telling their stories of, you know, allegedly being assaulted by harvey weinstein was not an easy task for them. so even women, including ashley judge, judge and actress, she's come out now and actress, she's come out now and she said this is an act of institutional betrayal because what it was when harvey weinstein was sentenced in 2020,

many people saw that as actually a victory for the metoo movement. you know, finally , movement. you know, finally, he's been locked away. he's not going to be a free man. so he's still already in prison, serving another sentence for 16 years. but the fact that now this has been overturned , actually, it's been overturned, actually, it's said to a lot of women, actually, your stories don't matter even if you're going to court to talk about it . with court to talk about it. with harvey weinstein and his defence, his team are quite happy with this verdict because it means actually he can actually now go on trial and have his say, because during the trial, he didn't really get a chance to say his side of the story. so now if there is going to be a retrial, he will get to say how what happened in these kind of situations that he's been accused of. >> i mean, but for a retrial, if we see one in new york. yeah. for the victims , that's going to for the victims, that's going to be very difficult, isn't it? having to rehash everything that they say they've been through. >> it is and i think a lot of them have lost faith in the system because, you know, you've convicted this for man 23 years.

many people were celebrating because they thought this is the situation over. he's been locked away, but now you've got the highest court in new york coming out saying, actually, we've made an error in such a very delicate case like that. i think a lot of victims have now lost support and hope in the system. but, you know, from what's come out, the statements that have come out from the courts, they say, do you still want to honour victims? but the law is the law. even someone like harvey weinstein, the public, already have made their opinion about him, but he is entitled to a fair trial . but this is the problem. >> if you said this isn't a fair trial and as you say, the public have got their view on it all, how does he then get it's going to be it's going to be a retrial. how is that going to be fair? >> well, this is why they've kind of kind of shot themselves in the foot here because it was very a tight verdict. it was 4 to 3. in order to have this court ruling to be brought back to trial. but the problem is now people know harvey weinstein's story. and i think a lot of

juries, even if you got them from all over the world, they've already made up their mind. so for someone like harvey weinstein, it's going to be very hard to give him a fair trial. the only victory, i think, for harvey weinstein here is that he's going to manage to say his side of the story, but it means as well, less victims. if there is a retrial, there will be less victims who will be able to come forward because none of their stories have been stood up in a court of evidence, in evidence. so it's going to be quite hard , so it's going to be quite hard, that it is. >> stephanie takyi. good. thank you so much. thank you very much indeed. >> right. it's 6:16. let's have a look at some of the other stories coming into the newsroom this morning. >> and the world's first personalised mrna jab for melanoma is being trialled with british patients , where it's british patients, where it's hoped the jab will stop lung, bladder and kidney cancer. the cancer jab has been described as cancerjab has been described as a game changer and is custom built for each person. in just a few weeks . few weeks. >> i had any fear because, i just by doing the trial, i feel

like i'm actively doing something to give it a kicking. basically a 13 year old girl has been charged with three counts of attempted murder after two teachers and a pupil were stabbed at amman valley school in wales on wednesday. >> the teachers and pupil have been released from hospital after being treated for stab wounds . wounds. >> vice chancellors from 24 leading universities have been warned by m15 that foreign states are targeting british institutions to undermine national security. the government and security services are worried that cutting edge research could be targeted by foreign states to boost their own militaries and economies, and in the united states, the supreme court has been hearing arguments on whether former presidents are immune from criminal trial. >> federal trial. it follows donald trump's dozens of charges across four cases, including the hush money trial. that's

underway now. supreme court justices set to hand down their judgements in several weeks, which, of course, will also set a precedent for future presidents . presidents. >> now, mps have warned that any failure in the process of moving people to universal credit from older , so—called legacy benefits older, so—called legacy benefits could lead to real world misery for thousands. >> the department for work and pensions must ensure it helps claimants, some of whom are vulnerable, to switch and not lose their benefits as well. >> the dwp has insisted that benefits are only ever stopped as a last resort after multiple unsuccessful attempts to engage with someone. let's talk to former adviser to the bank of england, doctor roger gewolb, who's here. >> good to see you, roger. good morning . how concerning is this, morning. how concerning is this, or is this just picking up on a potential sort of problem that hasn't really happened yet?

>> i think it's a real problem, it affects, fortunately, not a huge number of people . there's huge number of people. there's about 2.2 million people on the six different legacy benefits, and they want to move about, well, less than half , about well, less than half, about 900,000 of them to universal credit . and it really isn't credit. and it really isn't working. as i read the reports and the intel i kind of wonder if these are the folks who've designed the rwanda plan. i mean, it's just a litany of unbelievable, government, mean, it's just a litany of unbelievable, government , civil unbelievable, government, civil service, absolute mess up failures . so, for example, 21% failures. so, for example, 21% of people have not transferred from the legacy benefits to the universal credit , and they've universal credit, and they've had their benefits stopped , so had their benefits stopped, so that 21% is just a tad higher than the 3% that the dwp

estimated would be the case, secondly, they also don't fully understand they say, why the people are not claiming after receiving a notice to migrate. they say, quote, lack the data to ensure people are claiming the benefits they're entitled to. i mean, it's unbelievable . to. i mean, it's unbelievable. my to. i mean, it's unbelievable. my first question is why don't they just pay them? why do they actually actually have to apply? a lot of these are elderly , a lot of these are elderly, vulnerable people down on their luck, you know? i mean, why make them suffer through that? and they are cutting people off who haven't applied. thirdly, it will cost surprise and surprise £900 million more and take 606 years longer than they estimated to do this. why? back in, largely due to the government's decision, quote, to delay moving income related employment and support allowance claimants to universal credit. why they delayed it i don't know. i can't answer that. i've read several

different reasons, but none of them really make sense, the dwp's evidence on the long term impact is limited as its evaluation is have only considered the short term effects. >> i mean, roger, you're listing all of that out there. it makes you question, is this a system that's even fit for purpose ? i that's even fit for purpose? i mean, surely claimants shouldn't be facing real world misery over universal credit claimants. >> i mean, even if it was only 3% of 900,000 people, that's a lot of tens of thousands of families suffering. and if it's 21, it's frightening. and no, it's obviously not fit for purpose. they don't have the data. they can't explain why it's not working, why it costs more, why it takes longer to, and as i say, i'd like an answer to the question , why? why can't to the question, why? why can't you? you know, we all during the pandemic, we all receive card checks and things. we got we got our fuel £67 payments. why do they make people apply? and if they make people apply? and if they don't apply, cut them off.

there's just something that's very wrong here. >> it seems like it's as much as anything else, a data issue, which is what we have with, with, migration and illegal legal and illegal migration. >> excuse me. so many other things. >> yeah. so. so what is wrong with the systems in government that they, you know, they cannot provide the data in 2024? you think it would all be on some server somewhere, i interviewed nigel farage a long time ago. well, eight months ago, about why we have such poor leadership. and he. if you if you google my surname and farage, you can see the video andifs farage, you can see the video and it's quite interesting his answers. but there is a new a! artificial intelligence app called perplexity, which has just become very popular and which was recommended by arianna huffington, the founder of the huffpost and it's really quite good. and i asked it yesterday , good. and i asked it yesterday, why are politicians so poor ? why

why are politicians so poor? why does all this happen? and it said basically in four different ways that they may be very intelligent and capable in their own right, but they have to dumb things down to get and stay elected because that's what the populace doesn't want. nuanced explanation . i found that really explanation. i found that really quite interesting. yeah yeah. >> lumenick, roger. good to see you this morning. thank you very much indeed , loads of you much indeed, loads of you getting in touch on the, the question about who you would want to be prime minister. sasha's already stevens asking the wrong question because the majority of conservative voters don't want sunak. the choice should have been broader. it's a reality choice. the choice. the reality choice. the choice. the reality is it is either going to be rishi sunak or keir starmer, who is prime minister after the next election . there won't be next election. there won't be anybody else. you know, that's a that's a reality of the situation. so thanks to all of

you who said farage or tom moore or whatever, but it's not going to be most are saying sunak. isn't that fair to say sunak, i've only seen one saying keir starmer. >> yeah, i've seen that one. >> yeah, i've seen that one. >> a lot of you saying, neither, just neither. which obviously is not the reality, but it doesn't actually, bode well , does it, if actually, bode well, does it, if nobody wants either. >> but if you're if you're saying neither, does that mean you won't be going out to vote on election day? because i think that could be the case for many people who just decide to stay at home, not vote for anybody . at home, not vote for anybody. do let us know if that's going to be the case. >> i mean, karen says sunak is appalling, but starmer is worse. so she's voting reform . i mean, so she's voting reform. i mean, it's not a happy, a happy state of affairs, is it? >> it's not. no, it's not going to be 1997, in the sense that there's not the excitement, is there. no. that we saw for tony blair, let us know what you think. keep those views coming in. gbnews.com/yoursay. >> all right. let's see what the weather's going to do for you

clear and dry night once again across many areas of northern england, northern ireland, much of scotland and there is a risk of scotland and there is a risk of a further frost for saturday morning across the south, though cloud will continue to thicken as this band of showery rain continues to move northwards. but that will introduce some milder air, so it's not going to be quite as cold across southern areas of england and wales through this evening . now it through this evening. now it will be a bright but cold start across the north on saturday. the best of the sunshine is likely to be in the morning. i think as you head towards the afternoon, cloud will bubble up once again and there's a risk of a few showers. but again, most areas should stay dry across the midlands, though, cloud will really thicken. it's going to be quite a dull afternoon and temperatures will be suppressed and in the south any brighter spells that develop could pep off a few showers. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on . gb news. on. gb news. >> now it's the final day to see how your next holiday could be on us, with your chance to win a greek cruise for two £10,000 in

previous. >> queen is the previous queen. yeah. and it was. i was doing it. it was when? i mean, you worked in local radio as well, and you used to do road shows, do you remember? and it was the east of england show. and i'm standing on this stage and the queen came past on a standing on the top of a jeep, you know, doing the waving. and i realised that the height i was at was at the same height as her. so we were almost face to face, and i didn't really know whether to smile or to do it. and i went like this are a bit like freddie. and that was it. so that was it. and even now i think, oh my goodness, are you supposed to do that? i don't know, a distance salute. >> were you starstruck? >> were you starstruck? >> oh, i was just like, yeah, i was completely yeah, i couldn't oh great story though. yeah. >> i wanted to tell the kids. >> i wanted to tell the kids. >> apparently she used to tell the same story in royal circles. >> she tell you what? >> she tell you what? >> your roadshows were better than ours. we had. well we had take that one year. >> yeah. yeah. we don't not take that. no, no. >> well they were very good. it's when they were at the height of their fame that was

probably the same time as we did. >> it was probably down the road. yeah, yeah. >> so i take that, we had dale winton one year. >> oh hello. >> oh hello. >> and we had, peter andre. >> and we had, peter andre. >> did you. yeah. >> did you. yeah. >> peter andre. whatever happened to peter andre? i don't know, i don't know any idea? oh. >> he's great. he's on paternity leave. >> i've never heard of him. studies. >> how many kids have you got now? five. well, five children. >> and he was a kid himself. in those days. >> he was? yeah. >> he was? yeah. >> man city. yes. you better add very good. >> four nil beat brighton last night, so manchester city are doing what they do and that's towards the end of the season winning football matches. simple as that. so so, they were very good. they were. they looked a little tired . i thought they little tired. i thought they looked a little leggy. in fact, at the weekend when they played, chelsea in the semi—final, but they refreshed. they were composed. they were clinical. they scored four goals, and they're now within one point of arsenal with a game in hand. so arsenal with a game in hand. so arsenal are still top with 77, manchester city played one game less with 76 points. and then we've got liverpool on 74 and then over the weekend. so tomorrow , west ham are playing

tomorrow, west ham are playing liverpool and jurgen klopp always unhappy about the lunchtime kick—off. you can't bnng lunchtime kick—off. you can't bring up lunchtime kick—offs or even make a joke about it because he will snap. oh he gets so testy about the whole thing, for crying out loud. >> he misses lunch. >> he misses lunch. >> well, i think it might be. and it's like, oh, it's not fair that we play early. and wayne rooney was on tv just the other day and he was talking about it and said, just get on with it. that's the job, get on with it. and i thought, well done, wayne. so someday man city away at forest, arsenal, spurs sunday afternoon. >> yes i'm looking forward to that. >> feeling a little nervous. >> feeling a little nervous. >> we've heard from arnie slot. >> we've heard from arnie slot. >> oh, we have our friend on, i still don't have a ruling on iron arnie. >> i'd say arnie. >> i'd say arnie. >> arnie . slot. there's arnie, >> arnie. slot. there's arnie, he is now, said because he is the final manager and liverpool seem to be interested in him. he has now said. and you don't get managers that say this when they're another job, because usually they go, well, you know, i'm very happy where i am. but he said, it seems clear to me that what a strange thing to

say. it seems clear to me that i would like to work there. >> yeah, that's very odd, isn't it? >> it is odd. >> it is odd. >> would you say that there's something more concrete in the mix? >> here? >> here? >> is what? in the concrete mix? >> is what? in the concrete mix? >> in the concrete. >> in the concrete. >> in the concrete. >> i think there is. >> i think there is. >> could it be solidifying? >> could it be solidifying? >> well, all he says, all i can say is that the clubs are in negotiations and i'm in the waiting room in negotiations. so and so it looks like it's going to happen, but they're going to have to pay . liverpool will have have to pay. liverpool will have to play pay feyenoord some sort of compensation. but really managers are as important if not more important than some players. so maybe we'll get to the point where there'll be transfer fees for managers. it makes sense. >> you never know . >> you never know. >> you never know. something >> you never know. something to think about in the future. >> maybe, oh, i mean, honestly, what a time red bull is having at the minute. i know, i mean, they do it all right on the track, obviously, but yeah, but it's just sort of in the head offices is more trouble. >> it's away from the track. well, the christian horner thing won't go away. that happened in february when he was accused of sexual harassment and coercive

behaviour. now it seemed it was it all gone away. but within red bull it certainly hasn't. now design chief, adrian newey, he is the genius that is probably behind that. tim on the left there with christian horner behind, i think it's safe to say that success because he's the man that designs the cars and the cars are winning and beating everybody. so he's not happy and he's decided that he wants to step away. he's been called the greatest designer in history when it comes to cars. so that's someone they don't want to lose. so again, it looks like it's part of this power struggle. you've got horner who's in dispute with helmut marko who was the motorsport advisor, got chalerm vedra who is runs the whole thing. he seems to be also at odds with horner. whole thing. he seems to be also at odds with horner . but who is at odds with horner. but who is it? that's. and horner seems to be staying there. but it seems other people who may be more important or are they are stepping away. so it's a whole heap of trouble. and also if

you're another if you're basically you're, you're another, team, you're going to be wanting to take him in because he's the best designer. and then you'd think that maybe there's another big transfer fee. so he's going to be able to name his price. if anybody wants him. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> you'll just have to quickly tell us what's going on with wada, usada and shinada. >> oh my goodness me. >> oh my goodness me. >> how long. what are they? how long have i got about 20s? i'm gonna have to do this really, really quickly. yeah. wada the world doping agency. this is to do with the chinese swimmers. there's 23 of them. and they tested positive back in 2021 for trimetazidine varne, which turns out is heart medicine that was taken by valiyeva who was the ice skater. so anyway, they've tested positive for that, wada said after they were tested by shinada, who were the chinese agency against drugs, who then said, oh, you know, that's okay. it was it was in contaminated food. wada said, that's okay. usada who are the americans? have said, well, that can't be on you can't you can't be continuing to swim when you've tested positive. so now you've got swimmers who want to sue.

wada and wada are in conflict with usada. how about that? >> that's not a very good job. >> that's not a very good job. >> any sense whatsoever. >> any sense whatsoever. >> so all the chinese contaminated food. yeah. have they all been eating strawberry cheesecake or whatever it is? >> that's what happened with aliyeva. oh, it was in the food. but how can you have this drug in, in a kitchen? it just happens to be there. so anyway, this there's, this is going to run and run because seven of the swimmers got olympic medals are . swimmers got olympic medals are. and we don't like the smell of what's going on there, all right paul we'll see you later on. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> i'll lay down now. >> i'll lay down now. >> now, do you stay with us still to come? we're going to be going through all of the newspapers with nigel nelson and claire pearsall. that's

next. >> 643. let's have a look at some of the newspapers for you this morning. >> yes, and the telegraph

reports that the threat of rwanda deportations is causing an influx of migrants from the uk into the republic of ireland . uk into the republic of ireland. >> the guardian leads on scotland's first minister facing a no confidence motion backed by the scottish greens . the scottish greens. >> the times leads with m15 vetting academics to kerb threats from china express reports a new cancer vaccine being tested on british patients, offering hope for a cure, and the daily mail says that thieves attack shops over a thousand times a day. >> all right, let's go through some of those stories then, with our senior political commentator, nigel nelson and former government adviser claire pierce. all good to see you both this morning. good morning, right, let's kick off with the telegraph. nigel, i've so many people say rwanda doesn't work as a deterrent. it's not started yet. and apparently everyone's fleeing to ireland. >> well, that's according to the deputy prime minister over there. michael martin. question. really is if he's trying to actually shift the blame

somewhere else for the problems that his own country is facing, that his own country is facing, that ireland has got a record number of migrants coming in 140,000. that's a 16 year high, it just seems a bit weird that with rwanda not actually happening , we don't know if happening, we don't know if it'll be a deterrent or not. and already boat crossing so far this year , a third more than this year, a third more than this year, a third more than this time last year , which would this time last year, which would suggest that the migrants who are who are crossing the channel haven't yet been put off by rwanda. maybe they will. >> they beat rwanda. >> they beat rwanda. >> well, well, they can't beat rwanda because the moment they get here, they they disappear into the system. well, you could but but there declared, although it's not a legal to cross the channel they're declared inadmissible when they get here. and there's this backlog at the moment, about 40,000 people who were caught by the illegal migration act, who can't leave the country and can't stay

ehhen the country and can't stay either. so these people all would be eligible for rwanda if they turn up, as you say, they can always disappear into the black economy or something like that, but much more difficult because the authorities actually have have got hold of them. >> but it is a kind of inevitability that this would happen given that if they cannot remain in the united kingdom , remain in the united kingdom, they are going to enter ireland and across a non—existent border from north to south. i mean, it is that open border that the eu wanted, that the windsor framework is set up to provide died. so there was a slight sense of inevitability that this was always going to happen. and i believe it was one of the things that that came up when illegal migration was spoken about. a few years ago, that you have the common travel area, you have the common travel area, you have this problem of no border between north and south, and what was going to happen about that. and nobody seems to have the answer. and i and i think this is one of those issues that

we are going to have to face as a nation. and also as an international community, that there will always be these kind of routes that people will use to get around something. so the minute you change a business model for the people smugglers by saying, no one's going to be admissible to the united kingdom, they're going to go to rwanda, then they're going to find other ways. so we need to actually come up with a much better way of looking at international migration, rather than just these stopgap things that may or may not work. and in the case of rwanda, there really isn't a deterrent factor at the moment because no flight currently is gone there. no. what do we know? they'll only be a few hundred people. >> i hate to sound very well, incredibly selfish, but do we care if people are travelling , care if people are travelling, you know, leaving britain to go to ireland ? to ireland? >> well, i think if you're irish, you probably. >> oh, yeah. we're not irish, are we? >> that's the point. >> that's the point. >> i think we, i think we all need to care because is where what happens when there's a problem ? what happens if civil

problem? what happens if civil unrest occurs? all of these knock on effects have a massive impact on the rest of us. and you don't know what the unintended consequences of a lot of people passing through and going into ireland. and you may say, fine, that's their problem, not ours. >> and a clamp down in ireland would mean that they might well come back here again. it might just be a sort of a circular route. so i think that we've got to actually co—opt it with all other countries. i mean, france is having a huge problem. there are far more illegal migrants than we do , italy is in the than we do, italy is in the front line of this would but maybe this would put pressure on ireland to put pressure on france to do more. >> absolutely. it could work in our favour. we could get the irish government to actually deal with the eu because they can, because they are part of it , might make macron actually step up and do something for the money that we're giving him, because tensions are really high in ireland with this. >> i mean, they've got a housing crisis . crisis. >> that's the other problem than ours. oui's. >> ours. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i mean, that's made it more difficult because i mean,

they've had riots over this. yeah, because their housing crisis is worse than than we have here. on the basis of that, people are saying, well, if all the migrants come in, they're going to take the houses. and so it goes on, that's very difficult, claire, let's have a look at the guardian front page, shall we? and humza yousaf in peril . peril. >> yes. >> yes. >> now, this this has been very smile off your face. >> i'm not smiling. it's very serious. but also really quite funny, can't blame the english for this one. this is entirely up to the scottish parliament. humza yousaf, the first minister of scotland , has stopped his of scotland, has stopped his power sharing deal with the scottish greens. >> you seem very pleased about it. at the time when he did it, didn't he? >> he did he, he said they were very progressive and he was the continuity candidate after nicola sturgeon stepped down and he wanted the greens to be on board. now the greens naturally were not very happy with all of the oil exploration in. they wanted to stop all those licences. scottish people getting very fed up because a

lot of the economy , based around lot of the economy, based around the oil industry in scotland . the oil industry in scotland. and there's also the slight problem there was the gender clinic's decision, which the greens didn't like . so it now greens didn't like. so it now looks as if humza yousaf will face a vote of no confidence, which could happen tuesday or wednesday next week. >> and it all hangs on ash regan i >> -- >> yeah, and this is the sort of the ultimate irony. ash regan , the ultimate irony. ash regan, who used to be an snp member, did in fact run for the leadership and then went over to join alex salmond's alba party to be their first msp and now could hold the final casting vote. as to whether humza yousaf remains as first minister. now he waved her off with a it's no loss to us. yeah, goodbye . loss to us. yeah, goodbye. >> you'll regret that. >> you'll regret that. >> he will regret it. and she is sat there very nicely. now if i was ash regan, i would also be putting together my list of demands . well, she has done, but demands. well, she has done, but i don't think it goes far enough. i think that she needs

to sort of say humza yousaf needs to bring back take the high road. you could have some real fun with this chucking the serious issues, but just chuck in a couple of little things, you know? statues for the stars of balamory , tunnock's cake for of balamory, tunnock's cake for every family, those kind of things. because . she really now things. because. she really now does hold the balance of power. and that patience and the sort of the way she presented herself is going to come out in her favour. >> yeah, but what you really want is, is to get humza yousaf to actually relax the his gender recognition laws that he's been trying to bring in at the moment, that they're stymied. but she objected to the idea that you could change gender without any medical diagnosis. all you had to do was swear an oath to live in your acquired genden oath to live in your acquired gender, she has a letter outstanding to him saying, what are you doing about this now? i think that probably he ought to reply before this vote of confidence goes through, but do you think it would make any difference whatsoever? >> it does seem as though people

are coalescing around the point that he has to go. he is not proved to be a particularly good first minister. he's going to be there probably for what, just a year? that would be the entirety of his reign. >> well, that's the thing. i'm not sure. >> yeah. because even even if he won this vote, where does that leave it leaves him teetering on the brink. >> in a sense, it's the same thing that we've got down here with rishi sunak that the rishi sunak would would win a no confidence vote. but the mere fact you're holding it means that your authority does drain away. >> no, but i just i still don't see that there's much room. even if he does reply to her letter, even if he does make some nice kind words , around the gender kind words, around the gender issues, i don't think it's going to make much difference. he doesn't have that majority. the scottish conservatives are already said that they would fully, they want to put down the vote of no confidence. they're quite happy to see him gone. so i think that the odds are not in

his favour. i'm not sure there's anything that he can particularly offer up at the moment that's going to make the world of difference. >> well, alex salmond has warned humza yousaf that he could go down in history as humza. the brief, yes. pretty scathing , brief, yes. pretty scathing, this morning. oh, dear, nigel, let's have a look at the times front page, shall we? m15 checks , for academics to kerb threats from china . tell us a bit more from china. tell us a bit more about this. >> yeah, i'm a bit surprised it's not been done already, but 24 university vice chancellors were called in by ken mccallum, the boss of m15 and what he's saying to them is, if you're working on sensitive projects like a! or something like that , like a! or something like that, that the that m15 want to actually check you out because china, iran and russia are desperate to steal our secrets . desperate to steal our secrets. and the argument goes that we beaver away actually getting a technological advantage. and then someone comes along and just whips it from under our

noses. so if you actually check the academics out, you can make sure you've got people there who are basically not not spies . it are basically not not spies. it seems to me fairly straightforward thing to do . and straightforward thing to do. and as i say, what i am surprised aboutis as i say, what i am surprised about is security checks like this weren't done in the first place. >> yeah, it's a big glaring question , isn't it? it is. question, isn't it? it is. >> and you sort of think, was there a level of arrogance as to say, well, these people are professionals. they're coming into universities to, to work on these high level projects. but that's the first rule of spying is that you would go to the places where you're going to gain the most information and you'll you'll fit in. so if you're a professor and you're going to go to oxford or cambridge to go and look at the research programs that would be the first place i would look if i were the security services. so it does seem a little strange, but it was quite interesting that the universities, the vice chancellors, have been sort of hauled into a meeting for the very first time with the security services. so hopefully this is now focused their attentions on perhaps who they

let have access to their material. >> all right. we're to, down we've got a minute left or two minutes left. so let's talk about the james webb telescope. >> there you go, nigel. >> there you go, nigel. >> yes, we definitely go in there. >> i love this one. this is great. >> now, question space nerd as well. >> yeah. afraid so. yeah. absolutely what this is, is a is a star 124 light years away, which has got oceans of water. but the key thing on this star is it's got a gas called, dimethyl sulphide , which can dimethyl sulphide, which can only be produced by life . so only be produced by life. so the. so this is why it's actually quite exciting . now, actually quite exciting. now, unfortunately, they're not sort of cuddly pets or anything like that. it'll probably be plankton or , or sort of tiny organisms, or, or sort of tiny organisms, but it's the first time we've really found a, likely evidence that there is life in a different planet. >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> star. in fact. sorry, star. >> star. in fact. sorry, star. >> not planet. well, no. >> not planet. well, no. >> not planet. well, no. >> no planet. >> no planet. >> well, it's a planet. yes,

it's a red dwarf . it's a red dwarf. >> well, yeah, but. well, it's a planet. >> it's a big. >> it's a big. >> it's a big. >> it's a big planet. >> it's a big planet. >> it's a big planet going around the red dwarf. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. >> stephen, do you want to tell us a bit more about this ? us a bit more about this? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> well, it's a it's a it's a red dwarf. and it's so it's quite a lot smaller than the sun, but the planet is about two and a half times the size of earth. isn't it, in an ocean world. >> and i still like to think that there would be some cuddly aliens. i don't want to think of it as plankton. i think that there needs to be intelligent life out there. >> i'm with you, claire. >> i'm with you, claire. >> well, there will be, because if. >> i mean, if there's any life, you know, if we can find any signs of life, it means there is. there will be intelligent life elsewhere. >> but it is a long way away. >> but it is a long way away. >> so a voyager spacecraft would take 2 million years to actually reach it. and should they be intelligent? and they send us a message. 100 years ago, will still have to wait 24 more years to get it because of the light speed. >> there you go. >> there you go. >> could happen in our lifetime, though. >> that's fun. could happen. >> that's fun. could happen. >> thank you both. thank you.

let's get a message from annie shuttleworth right now. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on gb news . news. >> hello. good morning. welcome to your latest gb news weather update . it's going to be another update. it's going to be another fairly cloudy and rather cool day, and there's a few showers around for some, but for the time being should stay fairly dry and bright through the rest of the morning, particularly across north and western areas of the country. clouds are going to bubble up though, as we head towards lunchtime and the risk of showers starts to develop. 1 think many areas across the north should stay fairly dry. now towards the south we start to see clouds thicken through this afternoon across many areas of wales into parts of the midlands and across the south coast. ahead of this showery band of rain that will push up northwards throughout tonight and temperatures will be well below average for the time of yeah below average for the time of year. so another fairly cool day today. cloud will tend to fade away through northern across northern areas through this evening, so it will be a clear

and dry night once again across many areas of northern england, northern ireland, much of scotland and there is a risk of a further frost for saturday morning across the south, though, cloud will continue to thicken as this band of showery rain continues to move northwards. but that will introduce some milder air, so it's not going to be quite as cold across southern areas of england and wales through this evening. now it will be a bright but cold start across the north on saturday. the best the sunshine is likely to be in the morning, i think as you head towards the afternoon, cloud will bubble up once again and there's a risk of a few showers. but again, most areas should stay dry across the midlands though, cloud will really thicken. it's going to be quite a dull afternoon and temperatures will be suppressed. and in the south, any brighter spells that develop could pep off a few showers. >> that warm feeling inside and from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on

gb news.

>> good morning to you. it's 7:00 on friday. the 26th of april. today. tensions are high in scotland as humza yousaf faces a vote of no confidence after ripping up his coalition agreement with the greens . agreement with the greens. >> yes. the scottish first minister is only just clinging on to his political life. will he survive next week? find out more with me very soon. >> a poll of gb news viewers has revealed that the labour party are 11 points ahead of the conservatives another worrying sign for the prime minister, a revolutionary new jab bringing hope of a possible cure for skin cancer as it begins trials in the uk . and prince william the uk. and prince william surprises students in the west midlands during a school trip to support mental health, revealing his favourite joke along the way. >> knock knock sir. interrupting cow moo . cow moo.

saying neither . saying neither. >> yes, which doesn't bode well. >> yes, which doesn't bode well. >> it doesn't bode well considering that is pretty much the choice when it comes to who's going to be the next prime minister. >> yeah, no excitement there, andifs >> yeah, no excitement there, and it's a good point actually to rose because joining us now is the shadow secretary of state for business and trade, jonathan reynolds. good to see you this morning . good morning. before we morning. good morning. before we get on to the meat of matters this morning, you'll have seen that we have this poll saying, labour has has an 11 point lead amongst gb news viewers and listeners , which is interesting listeners, which is interesting people this morning have no enthusiasm either way, really. and in terms of the general health of politics in the nation, that's not very good, is it ? it? >> well, good morning. let me say first of all, that the people you've pulled there, obviously people of excellent, judgement and, sound, character there. but i mean, look, where is politics right now? well when i go around the country, you

know, we've got these elections on, on the 2nd of may, there is, first of all, a genuine desire for change, even amongst people who would describe themselves as very strong, historically conservative voters. and second of all, there is yes, i think a sense that we've been through a penod sense that we've been through a period where there's been a lot of drama. you know, you've had a lot of prime ministers in a short space of time. you've had a lot of elections in a short space of time, a lot of referendums in a short space of time. and actually, when i hear people talk about the choices that they that they believe are before them, yes, they want change, but they also want an end to this drama, and they want a government that's going to just knuckle down. might not be as exciting as some of the political developments have been in the last few years, but they want to get on with the things that government should do, sort out the nhs, get the transport system working better, build some homes for your children and yourself to live in. that is what labour is offering. so look, there's always going to be a degree of cynicism, about the political system. but i do think when you go back to how are

people feeling right now, the kind of change they want is what labouris kind of change they want is what labour is offering. >> well, i mean, and i mean, honestly, no, no disrespect because, i mean, i know mps actually do work very hard and i know it's tough being in opposition. however there is this general sense that people are going, yeah, all right. labour best of a bad bunch. which doesn't say much for labour does it. in all your sort of. well, people are sort of saying, well you're not the tories, therefore we might vote for you, but where's the enthusiasm , why haven't you been enthusiasm, why haven't you been able to generate this enthusiasm ? >> well, 7 >> well, first, 7— >> well, first, i 7 >> well, first, i wouldn't accept the premise of that, to be fair. >> but let's be honest, the last general election saw labour get pretty much its worst result in history . and if you'd asked me history. and if you'd asked me honestly the day after that, i would have said it's going to take more than one general election for labour to even be in the game. you know, we're so far behind. we've got things so wrong to be in a position. i mean. the hartlepool by—election. labour lost in hartlepool three years ago, just three years ago and here we are now looking at polls where clearly a lot of people are putting their faith in labour.

they are looking at the options and saying yes, we want to make that change to a change of government. when the election is called, we not complacent about that, but we've got to keep making the case. i think honestly, the transformation in labour has been remarkable and i think a lot of the credit for that should go to keir starmer. a lot of people didn't think this was possible, so i can't underestimate the job that we have had to do. i can't stress enough the change that we've had to make to do that. it is, i think, different to what you saw in 1997 where you'd obviously had an election before that, where labour came very close and there was a lot of kind of kind of labour actually just go that bit further and win it. we're trying to go from one of our worst results in history to what would be one of the best, and that's a big change. and i think alongside that, you saw some people vote conservative for the first time ever in the last election and to be frankly, haven't had what they thought they were being offered. and of course, when people have made that big jump and been let down, they're going to be you're going to feel strongly about that. they're going to be cross and feel let down and we've got to

do more to win those people oven do more to win those people over. but let's not underestimate the progress that's been made so far. >> mr arnold, you've been talking about what the labour party is going to offer the british public, what's going to be offered in terms of defence. do we know any more about whether the labour party is going to match the government's pledge to increase defence spending to 2.5% of gdp by 2030? we hear that you would consider a review if and when you come into power. but johnny mercer, the veterans minister, has said this just shows that labour party can't be trusted on defence, that they will allow that. a long winded review to take place whilst the world becomes more dangerous around us. >> us. >> i'm sorry i've got to laugh and comments like that now. we've been clear we would like to have that commitment to 2.5. thatis to have that commitment to 2.5. that is our commitment. we actually made that before the government did. but when conservative politicians are saying, will labour match the conservatives plans, i'll say, well, show me the plans and i'll tell you, we match the detail of those plans. i mean, the scale of how significant, particularly the army, has been hollowed out since 2010. i mean, when i was

elected as an mp , the regular elected as an mp, the regular army would have been well over 110,000 soldiers. i mean, today it's 75,000. like every bit of the public services we depend upon, it's been heavily reduced in the last few years. and the idea, by the way, to sack some civil servants and then produce the kind of turnaround that they're talking about. so we've always been clear, yes, we match that commitment. yes, we want to see that ambition going into 2030 of 2.5% being spent of gdp being spent on defence. but don't ask us to match plans. the government themselves haven't actually got. and of course, given we've had relatively recently, we were talking about a budget, the chance for the government to lay out those detailed plans . since then, detailed plans. since then, we've had a commitment to aboush we've had a commitment to abolish national insurance. so there's 46 billion added to conservative plans. now we've got this commitment. i don't know how they've got to the figure of £75 billion for that, by the way. but you know, let's be frank, this is not serious stuff from the government. this is an election campaign without the election being called. so i would probably say to the government, call the election campaign, let's have the two

manifestos, but don't possibly even dare suggest you've got a stronger record on defence when you've hollowed out the army as much as you've done over the last 14 years. >> who are we meant to believe when it comes to? i mean, the figures about how much money we've got in our pockets now . i we've got in our pockets now. i mean, the labour party, the shadow chancellor, rachel reeves, is saying, you know, despite the changes to the tax system, which is meant to put more money in our pocket, inflation means that we've got less. inflation is coming under control . now, i don't know what control. now, i don't know what the exact figure is. you all know three point something or other percent. so it's coming down towards target, is rachel reeves right to say actually we're still out of pocket despite the fact that inflation is coming down? >> oh yes. >> oh yes. >> i mean, it's a straightforward yes to that one because obviously, first of all, when inflation comes down, it's not a reduction in prices. pfices not a reduction in prices. prices are still going up. they're just going up. not as fast as they were. and inflation has been so high that any gains people have got in their pay packet, if they're getting it

round about this time in the month, they will still be worse off. i mean, one of the most shocking things is that this has been the first parliament really in modern history , where people in modern history, where people will be less well off at the end of the parliament than they were at the beginning of it. and the kind of change the big change that's required. of course, we all want to see inflation come back 3.2. it's come down to what we need is that big step change in how the uk economy is performing . that's going to mean performing. that's going to mean building some homes. that's a big part of labour's plan. it's going to mean having a better relationship with some of our key trading markets, including the european union, moving past brexit, just getting sure that's the right trading deal, sorting out the apprenticeship levy. it's going to mean having some real ambition on net zero, on industrial policy, not seeing what we've got, this week again in port talbot, thousands of job losses with significant government money going in for not much coming out of it. you need this big step change. and for the government to say, well, we've turned a corner we've got there. look, i judge how there. look, ijudge how inflation is doing. i'm at home today. i'm talking to you from

my home in stalybridge. i go to stalybridge tesco and i see the price of ketchup of cereal. i mean this this is what really matters to people. and it is gone up to a degree that no one's going to be feeling. you know, the good times are back when they get their pay packet this week with a few pence of national insurance. >> mr reynolds, last week got you. you mentioned shops there and it does lead me on nicely to this story. it's on the front page of the daily mail this morning. actually, it's about shoplifting in this country. it appears to be an epidemic. new figures out this morning show that shoplifting is occurring once a minute in this country at the moment. 430,000 incidents a day. how would the labour party fix this ? fix this? >> well, it's an outrage. >> well, it's an outrage. >> i mean, let me say very clearly as well, this is organised crime. you know, this is not people in hard times shoplifting. in the main, this is organised crime. we've done a lot of work with the usdaw trade union and with big retailers like the co—operative group, around the kind of technology and support for shop workers. but fundamentally, our plan is to implement the police efficiency plan that's on the

table, put more police into the police force and use those to tackle. you know, sometimes people think this isn't the most serious type of crime, but it is because it's serious organised crime . it blights urban areas crime. it blights urban areas means you can't have the kind of regeneration in the kind of retail and town centre and high street spaces that are vibrant, and we all want to see. so fundamentally for us, it's about more police, but there's work that can be done working with retailers and unions as well. to do that. something called the freedom from fear campaign covers violence against shop workers as well. but this is a really, really serious issue. >> okay. jonathan reynolds, shadow secretary of state for business and trade. very good to see you this morning. thank you very much indeed. >> well, interesting points made. yeah. interesting points made. yeah. interesting points made. he's a good performer , made. he's a good performer, actually. i was just listening to them thinking he's a good doesn't necessarily mean you have to agree with him what he's saying, but he's a good performer in a way that keir starmer isn't. >> he's personable. >> he's personable. >> isn't he very personable? keir starmer is just a bit flat. i don't know, it's but it's that enthusiasm that that a lot of

you not all of you, but a lot of you not all of you, but a lot of you getting in touch this morning, you know, just you don't care who it is. you're fed up with all of them. yeah. now, which is not a good place to be in. you've got to have some enthusiasm for , for politics, enthusiasm for, for politics, for a party, for your beliefs. whichever party you believe in and trust. and it just doesn't seem to be there. >> sean cooper's been in touch on gbnews.com slash usa saying i'm a proper right wing conservative. i despise the labour party. however, jonathan reynolds comes across as a really decent bloke. he talks a lot of sense. i think he might be in the wrong party. so there you go. >> i think i disagree with you there. i don't think you should despise a party. i think you should be in a position where you've got to listen to what they say because they shift positions. so much. i mean, some people say there's not that much between the tories and the labour party in a, which is why some of them, of course, are going, you know, some of you are

going, you know, some of you are going over to reform because you say there's not enough difference between the two main parties , anyway, if you if you parties, anyway, if you if you fed up with politics hard lock because there's going to be an awful lot of it strap in. >> it's going to be a very busy yeanisnt >> it's going to be a very busy year, isn't it. >> it is. and although there's no parliamentary elections in scotland till 2026 as it currently stands , well, it's all currently stands, well, it's all happening there as well because tensions are simmering after the greens have revealed they're going to vote against the first minister, humza yousaf, in a vote of no confidence. >> yes, the decision follows the collapse of the snp's power sharing deal with the greens yesterday, leaving mr yousaf in charge of a minority government. >> well, the no confidence motion proposed by the scottish conservative leader, douglas ross, who said the snp leader was weak and a failed first minister. >> well , joining us now is gb >> well, joining us now is gb news political correspondent olivia utley. >> a lot to unpack here, olivia,

do you think that humza yousaf can survive this ? can survive this? >> well, my instinct is that ultimately yusef probably can't survive this. there will be this vote of no confidence probably early next week. and the result of that all depends, amazingly, on a woman called ash regan . on a woman called ash regan. now, ash regan was an snp mp, but she fell out massively with humza yousaf. she ran against him in the leadership contest, but they disagreed on trans rights as regan, as if the jk rowling school of thought. she's worried that women's rights are being eroded, and eventually this disagreement with yousaf became so huge that she defected from the snp and joined the alba party, which is alex salmond's breakaway nationalist party. now, because the snp is one seat short of a majority in holyrood with out ash regan's vote in the vote of no confidence , humza vote of no confidence, humza yousaf looks destined to lose that vote now. if he loses that vote, obviously he will have to stand down. but even if ash regan puts aside her differences

with yusef and ends up voting for him in this vote of no confidence, i think it's quite likely that yousaf will have to leave anyway. in the very short term . yes, he can cling on to term. yes, he can cling on to his position, but in the long term his position becomes untenable. if you think back to the days of theresa may with her, with without a majority, with her confidence and supply agreement with the dup , what agreement with the dup, what happened was every time there was an important vote in the house of commons, she would lose those brexit votes that went on over and over and over again. and eventually she just had to stand down because her government wasn't able to govern. and it seems quite likely that something quite similar will happen with humza yousaf if ash regan votes for him this week. that's no guarantee that in the future, on subsequent votes, she will vote with him. and what could probably happen is that yousaf will end up losing vote after vote after vote and eventually his own party would turn against him . him. >> okay, olivier, for now, thanks very much indeed.

>> now, at 7:16, let's take a look at some other stories coming to the newsroom this morning. >> well, the world's first personalised mrna jab for melanoma is being tested in the uk. >> a british teacher was the first person to get the jab on what is being described as a groundbreaking clinical trial. >> i had any fear because, i just, by doing the trial , i feel just, by doing the trial, i feel like i'm actively doing something to give it a kicking. basically a 13 year old girl has been charged with three counts of attempted murder after two teachers and a pupil were stabbed at a mad valley school in wales on wednesday. >> the teachers and the pupil have now been released from hospital after being treated for those stab wounds. >> vice chancellors from 24 leading universities have been warned by m15 that foreign states are targeting british institutions to undermine national security. the government and security services

are worried that cutting edge research could be targeted by foreign states . now, across the foreign states. now, across the country, nuclear test veterans and campaigners are suing the government over missing medical records belonging to those involved in atomic bomb programs more than 70 years ago. >> yes, tens of thousands of british and commonwealth servicemen took part in various operations , and now veterans operations, and now veterans want their medical records to prove they were exposed to levels of radiation, which have impacted generations of their family. our reporter jack carson has the story. >> between 1955 and 1989, an average of 55 nuclear tests were conducted across the globe. each yean conducted across the globe. each year, more than 30,000 young british and commonwealth servicemen served at british

test locations in australia and the pacific ocean. but in the years since, those who were involved say they've been ignored and lied to about their exposure to radiation. for decades, lab rats international has represented the millions across the world, exposed to fallout from the testing programs and the families who still suffer today from illness and deformities . still suffer today from illness and deformities. in gloucestershire, founder of lab rats, alan owen meets with veterans dennis hayden and terry hughes, who were deployed to atomic test sites. dennis was posted to australia in the 1960s and has suffered countless health problems he believes are because of his exposure to radiation. we were part of an experimental program that was set in motion right at 1952. >> at the start, they wanted to know the effects of radiation would have not only on the equipment that was being used, but on the men themselves . and but on the men themselves. and that's why none of us had any protective clothing when we went to the forward areas. >> terry hughes was part of the royal fleet auxiliary, the support branch of the royal navy. he was deployed to

christmas island in 1958, and witnessed to the detonation of a hydrogen bomb , and the resident hydrogen bomb, and the resident naval officer had to come out and explain to everybody there was nothing to worry about. >> it was only a bomb that would be exploded and we wouldn't feel any effects at all. and then we had a countdown for the bomb. five, four, three, two, one. >> and once again we watched the fireball as it forms, proclaiming that britain joins the united states and russia as a hydrogen bomb power. >> my wife had one miscarriage and, my son can't have any children. i've got a granddaughter has an epileptic fit. >> last year, the government unveiled the nuclear test medal, recognising the military, civilian and overseas staff and personnel who participated in britain's nuclear testing program in the 1950s and 1960s. but for lab rats founder alan owen, whose own father was a nuclear test veteran, the work is only just beginning. in september, they launched a legal challenge to the ministry of defence to provide the test

veterans full medical records, which they say they've been denied access to. >> we sit in this bubble as the nuclear test veteran community fighting against the establishment, and they will say, you know, ministers will go in parliament and say, all you've got to do is apply for your medical records and they'll give them to you. >> yeah, it just doesn't happen. it's not a reality. they're not there to is easy as accessible as just applying. they will fight you all the way. they will delay it. >> in response, a government spokesperson said we are grateful to all service personnel who participate in the british nuclear testing programme, which is why we have formally recognised them with an official medal. nuclear test veterans who believe they have suffered ill health due to service have the existing and long standing right to apply for no fault compensation under the war pensions scheme. the fight for these veterans and their families lives on because thousands who came before never got the recognition and justice for their service, jack dawson,

gb news. >> it's remarkable what those people went through actually , people went through actually, and i know, i know, people didn't fully understand the dangers and things back then. >> yeah, they deserve the truth now, don't they? >> of course they do. of course they do . they do. >> all of these things that come to light, isn't it? so many years on? it's get to the bottom of it. >> yeah. all right. shall we see what the weather's going to do for us today? let's. >> with annie. >> with annie. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on gb news . news. news. news. >> hello. good morning. welcome to your latest gb news weather update. it's going to be another fairly cloudy and rather cool day, and there's a few showers around for some, but for the time being should stay fairly dry and bright through the rest of the morning, particularly across north and western areas of the country. clouds going to bubble up though, as we head towards lunchtime and the risk of showers starts to develop. 1 think many areas across the north should stay fairly dry . north should stay fairly dry. now towards the south we start

to see cloud thicken through this afternoon across many areas of wales, into parts of the midlands and across the south coast. ahead of this showery band of rain that will push up northwards throughout tonight, and temperatures will be well below average for the time of yeah below average for the time of year. so another fairly cool day to day cloud will tend to fade away through northern across northern areas through this evening. so it will be a clear and dry night once again across many areas of northern england, northern ireland, much of scotland and there is a risk of a further frost for saturday morning across the south, though, cloud will continue to thicken as this band of showery rain continues to move northwards. but that will introduce some milder air, so it's not going to be quite as cold across southern areas of england and wales through this evening. now it will be a bright but cold start across the north on saturday. the best of the sunshine is likely to be in the morning, i think as you head towards the afternoon, cloud will bubble up once again and there's a risk of a few showers. but again, most areas should stay dry. across the midlands, though, cloud will really thicken. it's going to be quite a dull afternoon and temperatures will be suppressed

and in the south any brighter spells that develop could pep off a few showers. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on . gb news. on. gb news. >> now it's time for the great british giveaway. >> is it, isn't it? >>— >> is it, isn't it? >> yes , and a few weeks ago we >> yes, and a few weeks ago we called charles from stoke on trent to tell him he'd won £18,000. he's now got his prize money and this is what he had to say about his winning experience. >> i'm charles, i live in stoke on trent. i'm on £18,000 cash. i sent a text through my mobile phone and it was as simple as that. i really did not expect to win anything at all. it was just amazing. and as soon as it goes into your bank account, it just changes the life changing thing. i'm obviously going to treat myself to a little holiday somewhere, a little break away, just go for it. it's an absolute must. you must try and go for it. i mean, i'm a pensioner and twins , £18,000 as a pensioner.

break. now a new migraine drug called a tojapan will only be prescribed tojapan will only be prescribed to a maximum of 170,000 brits.

yeah well, that's why it means that about 11 million uk sufferers who get debilitating migraines several times a week just won't be able to access the treatment. well, experts and doctors are urging people to explore alternative approaches to managing their condition. >> yeah, but begs the question what's the point in launching a new drug if most people can't get hold of it? >> well, joining us now is chief scientific officer at microsoft, doctor peter charter. good to see you this morning. doctor well that's the key question isn't it. what's the point in launching this new drug if people can't access it? >> well, the reason i mean, this drug is designed as kind of the third or the fourth line treatment. so you'll go to your doctor , they'll give you one doctor, they'll give you one thing. you'll go to your neurologist, they'll give you another thing because it's a new drug and it's very expensive. it's about £500 a month. oh, and you can imagine this is really for people who've got chronic migraine , and they have to have migraine, and they have to have at least 15 days a month before

the nhs will be prescribing it. right. so it's designed as sort of a third line of defence. right. but there are many alternatives . you don't actually alternatives. you don't actually have to do that. you can actually look at supplementation to try and stop the migraines happening in the first place. and also a tojapan isn't really a remedy. i mean, it's not going to stop migraines. it's just going to reduce your migraines . going to reduce your migraines. just like all of the all of the therapies, even even vitamins , therapies, even even vitamins, do the same thing. they don't stop it. they're not a cure. but you can radically reduce the number of migraines you get . number of migraines you get. >> are we seeing more people suffering with migraines? lots more. because what do we know why that is? because do we even know what is what causes them in the first place? with some people, well, we think that there are , basically if you look there are, basically if you look at the vitamin, which is vitamin b2, it gives energy. so there are probably constraints in your energy production. you're not converting your food or carbohydrates into enough energy in certain parts of the brain cell. and you get a certain

point where there's a restriction. then that's not just a headache, it's debilitating. it's stopping your eyes from working . you're eyes from working. you're heanng eyes from working. you're hearing you might get all sorts of weird and wonderful effects . of weird and wonderful effects. so that's when it becomes a critical thing. now, why are we getting more? i think we're getting more? i think we're getting loads of chronic diseases , and i think we're diseases, and i think we're getting chronic diseases because of ultra processed foods, because the lack of nutrients in our food. and i think because we use antibiotic picks, we're cleaner than ever. we've been we've got antivirals going on. so all these things, you know, are not what a human being are 500 years or 200 years ago, even in victorian times , would be in victorian times, would be full of filth. yeah. >> which were too clean . >> which were too clean. >> which were too clean. >> are we. we are too clean and also, you know, at the same time we don't get enough vitamin d because we're not out there because we're not out there because we're not out there because we're all we're totally covered and even if you've got glass and you've got sunlight, you don't really get vitamin d, you don't really get vitamin d, you actually have to be outside to get that vitamin d and vitamin d is activating your

immune system. so we have a few different things all building up. but the idea of ultra processed foods is, you know, when we start interfering and we have everything that we microwave, we've got pre—processed . you know, just pre—processed. you know, just imagine most apples we in this country are probably a year old, you know , because they've been you know, because they've been they've gone to storage, they've been put in an atmosphere where they're stored. so you do think there must be some effect on that fruit. and then if you look at what's happened to fruit and vegetables since the 1980s, they've all been designed so they've all been designed so they don't go off. so if you that means they're never ripe. they never smell. and that also means that they've got less vitamin b, less vitamin c, all of the vitamins you could want are much less than they've ever been. so these are the reason why we're getting loads of chronic problems. like they don't kill you, migraines don't kill you, but they stop you from functioning. >> they're debilitating, though, aren't they? if anyone that does suffers, i mean, especially if

you suffer badly with them, you can't get out of bed. >> well, that's the difference between a normal headache and a migraine. a migraine will just really stop you from doing anything. your main function. >> what i don't understand then, because obviously there's been i mean, there's been various medications over the counter and prescription that have been around for years. and now this new one. but if, if, if one of the key solutions can be supplements in the fact that you can just buy or order or buy over the counter. yeah. then why hasn't that been explored in the past? you would have thought that had been a first option. >> has. it'sjust people don't >> has. it's just people don't know about it. so the national institute of clinical excellence or nice , they're the people who or nice, they're the people who authorise the drugs that the nhs can use. they've said that vitamin b2 in high dose since 2012, they've had it on a paper. but most gp's are not aware of it because there's no one funding that you know, gp's get awareness because a big drug company will say to them, come

and have a look at our new treatment. and in fact they forget about the old treatments because the new treatments look better . better. >> so what have you got in front of you now? >> so this is this is a product that i've been responsible for creating called micro soothe. and this has 400 times the normal dose of vitamin b2 and riboflavin , which is b2. you riboflavin, which is b2. you know, when you buy your rice krispies, they'll fortify it with riboflavin. this is what's in there. but you can't actually get that amount in normal food. it's actually very, very difficult. so if even if, for example, you had a bowl of nuts or you had some asparagus, you'd literally have to have kilos of it because there isn't enough , it because there isn't enough, because this contains is it dangerous to eat that? >> but just we're out or we out every day. >> so the only the real i mean, that's the colour of it. so the real side effect that people will, will find is that their wig goes luminescent yellow. but that we're going luminescent yellow is because vitamin b2

gets flushed out of the system. but what it does, why ? how does but what it does, why? how does it stop? the migraine is the question. so in all of our cells, we've got these little back, if you like, batteries called mitochondria, they're the things that make energy. if you remember your high school science, it's all coming back to me now. yeah. thousands of these little duracell things, which are converting. so by flooding your body with vitamin b2, the mitochondria are being activated. that stops the migraine from happening in the first place. so you remember when i told you migraines? there are all sorts of reasons, potentially because they're actually 100 different migraines as well. so when that energy is produced and you've got to take it for a few months, by the way, it's not something that's going to work straight away. some people get effect in a week, but most people the nhs document says you've got to use it for three months. oh but if it's only £0.30 a day, it's not. >> it's a lot more affordable isn't it? >> it's a lot more. but then the

other thing is people say, well, i just came in to the building here and the guy said, well, i take a multi—vitamin every day. yes you can take a multi—vitamin every day, but that contains 0.7mg of riboflavin. this is 400mg. so a lot of the therapies do not happen when you've got tiny amounts of them. oh right. that kind of gives you the background . yeah. background. yeah. >> it's fascinating. it is actually . and if you can do if actually. and if you can do if you can do stuff which is more natural than your medication, if you've got chapped lips, that's a sign that your vitamin b2 is low. >> oh, really? >> oh, really? >> that's it. if you take this, your chapped lips will go. you're it's actually very good for cataracts . it's very good for cataracts. it's very good for cataracts. it's very good for skin because don't forget, we're just energised our body. and also by the way, women are more badly affected with migraines and that's that's why migraines and that's that's why migraines were always underdiagnosed and especially around menopause that's another trigger. so hormonal things affect women as well. for the

migraines . migraines. >> well i might pop one of those. >> and yes, i will get migraines and i'll have very kissable lips. >> oh well, your husband will be very popular when i get home. >> yes, doctor. >> yes, doctor. >> chard, a really good to see you.thank >> chard, a really good to see you. thank you very much indeed. >> thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> now, do you stay with us still to come? we've got all the latest sports with

next. welcome back. it's sports time. >> it is. >> it is. >> paul's here. >> paul's here. >> good morning. good morning. >> good morning. good morning. >> it's football shirt friday today. and i was going to wear a football. i've never been a big football. i've never been a big football shirt wearer, to be honest with you. no but i do have this. and i thought maybe you could wear this now look at that. >> now that's a sort of g. >> now that's a sort of g. >> what do you think about that then? it's actually a vest and there's a story behind it. it's got champions league on there because i stole it from oh well i borrowed it permanently.

champions league final 2019. when spurs were playing liverpool 1 was there and at the end of the game, because liverpool won the champions league final, i thought i'd have a little wander around the dugouts and see what i could get my hands on. yeah, because i was very miserable and that was divock origi. i believe the man that scored the winning goal for liverpool, he's substitute shirt, which was on it was just on the side and i thought i'll just pick up that. yeah, yeah i thought so. i was walking along with it and i thought nobody stopped me and i just put it in my pocket. so there it is. >> have you given it a wash, no, it's still smells of divock origi. there you go. it smells of. there you go. champions league winner there. what do you think, well excellent. >> but i don't think for football shirt friday because football shirt friday because football shirt friday is all about bobby moore. fund raises money to help those with testicular cancer and research and awareness. and it's because bobby moore died at the age of 51. you know, the greatest players of all time. yeah, have testicular cancer. so that's what bobby, bobby moore and the bobby moore fund is all about. and it's about wearing a. so you donate and you wear your football shirt today. >> it's a great cause.

>> it's a great cause. >> it's a great cause. >> it is a great. >> it is a great. >> so where's your shirt. >> so where's your shirt. >> well that's it. that's the one i've got. i just brought that along. oh. so you need to be popping that off because i was, you know, i have to dress smartly for this. so i can wear football shirt. >> you could, you could have got you could have got away with wearing your arsenal top today. >> can you imagine? can you imagine. oh my goodness me. >> oh makes me nervous about today. >> all right let's talk man city yeah man city won four nil against brighton yesterday. so they're doing what they do i mentioned that earlier. they're winning games at the end of the season. they are now one point behind arsenal who are top of the premier league with a game in hand. so probably most people would think manchester city. but all depends whether they slip up. so liverpool playing west ham, who did have a slip up the other day at 1230. then we've got man city away at nottingham forest. we expect them to win and then the north london derby. arsenal away sunday at spurs . arsenal away sunday at spurs. yes. sunday afternoon, should we talk about red bull. yes. sunday afternoon, should we talk about red bull . there's yes. sunday afternoon, should we talk about red bull. there's a lot of drama going on there isn't there? >> is there adrian newey. now

he's the chief designer there. so he's the man that designs the cars. and it's the cars that are making red bull win. we'd say more than anything else, and they're so far ahead of everybody else. they've won everybody else. they've won every grand prix. again, this, this season. so it's all around the christian horner controversy . and it seems that adrian newey does not look very favourably on what's going on at red bull. and he's decided to step away. so i imagine there's going to be a lot of teams that are going to be very interested in him coming to them. can you imagine it'd be an open cheque, wouldn't it? the amount of money that's in f1, surely he's got to be on gardening leave for a few seasons. well yeah i gardening leave for a few seasons. well yeah 1 how all that will work. i have absolutely no idea. but we know there's going to be big money involved. but there seems so everything that's going well on the track off the track, not so red. >> oh, can we mention i know we're a bit tight for time. can we're a bit tight for time. can we mention sweden and var and they've said no , nay, nay, nay they've said no, nay, nay, nay to var every more or less every country around europe has var

video assistant referee sweden haven't and they've now said no , haven't and they've now said no, that they don't want var because they've seen everywhere else . they've seen everywhere else. >> now var for me it's kind of like you know it's like a dodgy policeman there that's saying no, i don't want to see any evidence. we'll just go with what we decide because var whenever you see it, whatever you think about it, it's just showing pictures of what's happening. it is evidence of what's happening. it's the way it's being used. but the swedes are saying we don't want it. it's causing all this problem around europe . so therefore around europe. so therefore we're going to keep things as we are, and they're going to be the only country that says nay, nay. >> it reminds me of the knights that say nay. there you go. you all get that one. you know, there's another film for you to watch. >> oh, it's my very long. another old film to watch. you'll know what we're talking about. >> you will. paul, thank you very much indeed. i've got the papers heading away very shortly with nigel and clare.

nigel nelson and clare pearce are here to take us through the papers this morning. let's kick off with this, should we? chris philp on question time, this is what happened . what happened. >> had my family members come from goma on a on a crossing right now, would they then be sent back to the country that they're supposedly war in rwanda? does that make any sense to you ? to you? >> no. i think there's an exclusion on people from rwanda being sent, not from rwanda. >> they're from congo, from congo, and they're supposedly from congo. they're supposedly war in these people, from rwanda. are they then going to be sent to rwanda if they came here on a crossing from from congo? yeah >> would people be sent from. well, i mean, randa is a different country, congo, isn't it? it's a different country. >> it is. yes, definitely. >> it is. yes, definitely. >> you're saying if they come from a war zone in. >> oops. oh dear nigel. >> oops. oh dear nigel.

>> oh dear. >> oh dear. >> i think wes streeting , face >> i think wes streeting, face was an absolute picture on that one, yeah. i mean, obviously chris felt hadn't worked out what was going on in rwanda and neighbouring congo, where in fact there's a civil war going on, supported by the rwandan president, paul kagame , 500,000 president, paul kagame, 500,000 people have been displaced there. there's rebels, the m23 rebels, who are raping and murdering through the country. and in fact, that there are an awful lot of congolese refugees in rwanda. they're there through the united nations. also, some evacuees from libya. and these are people they volunteer to go. unlike our scheme, which is compulsory, they volunteer to go . and the idea is they're in transit. they're looking for a the un is looking for a new home for them. but i mean, really chris philp should have been up to speed on the fact that these are two distinct countries with quite a bit going on in both of them. yes i feel a bit sorry for

him in that politicians have to be across everything don't they. but i mean you really should have known that. but yes, because he's also just voted to say that rwanda is a safe country. >> now if you're voting on something as spectacularly large as that, you would understand the geography of the region that you're going to look at. just pull up a map, look at the countries surrounding it. that would be the really basic thing. and being former adviser to a minister sometime , you just have minister sometime, you just have to do it as basically as that. just say these are the countries, this is how you say them in case there's any difficult words and you spell it out very, very basically. so why he wasn't quite prepared, 1 don't know. but wes streeting , don't know. but wes streeting, side i, i think has got to be the meme of the week going forward. it was quite stunning and just, it just shows that you need to you need to be prepared. if you're going to go on and answer these questions, you need to have a good grasp of the

subject. and he is a former immigration minister, so he doesn't really have much excuse. >> no, no he doesn't. >> no, no he doesn't. >> claire, should we take a look at the guardian front page? and the prime minister is being urged to write off fines for unpaid carers. >> yeah. now, this, this story on the surface of it, you sort of think, well, here we go again, writing off more money, but really quite serious that carer's allowance is the grand total of £81.90 a week, which for somebody to take care of a loved one and save all of us an awful lot of money and hard work , if they have any extra earnings which take them over £151, even just by a penny , the £151, even just by a penny, the dwp can then claw back the entire carer's allowance amount. and what has happened ? some and what has happened? some people have inadvertently gone over by a few pounds or a few pence, and the dwp has not alerted them quickly. so you've got people now owing tens of thousands of pounds in back fines to the government, because

the dwp has then deemed them to have been paid incorrectly. >> it cannot be right, it really can't. >> and i think when you're talking about people who are caring for loved ones, they are doing an incredibly difficult job. they are having to support a family in a house at the same time, they are saving us all an awful lot of money and they're doing this because it's the right thing to do, and they love that person. and here we are going to persecute them by saying, you've earned too much money. >> i mean, if they have to pay back the difference. so the, you know, if they've earned £5 over, if they have to pay that £5 back, then that's different . back, then that's different. i've got some sympathy with that. >> but at the moment you can be a penny over and have to pay your full, your full £81, 90 back. yeah, and that's got to be unjust . unjust. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> but that's this is someone sticking to the letter of the law, not the spirit of the law, isn't it? >> but i think also the problem is the dwp aren't quick enough

to tell people. so it could be one of those sort of inadvertent things. your, your payment penod things. your, your payment period was two days too long or you earned a little bit extra for a little bit of overtime or something like that, which you don't realise is taking you oven don't realise is taking you over. and the dwp taking years to tell you and that's that's not. >> and then you face a £5,000 fine at the end of it, which because you're taking all of your care, you're taking it all, taking all of it back. >> yeah, yeah, it just can't be. it can't be. right. it's a very small amount of money for the job that they do. and we should be really thankful that they're doing it. >> it's a tough job as well, isn't it, clarisse? another one of your. sorry, nigel, but you can get involved. get involved? >> thank you. >> thank you. >> it's a problem that i have. there's too much choice out there. you spend too long channel hopping. yes. on something to watch? yes. you do 100 gb news. of course. >> of course, 183 hours a year in channel hopping. >> but in just trying to choose a pro, in just trying to settle on something to watch, because we all now have so much choice in different channels and

different platforms, you can spend an awful lot of time getting. >> no, i don't like that, don't like that and flicking and flicking and apparently this causes a spiral of anxiety in individuals. >> well, now i know what i'm suffering from. >> i mean, i think we spend double the double this time sort of working out what programmes to watch, but i can't use the, use the remote. very well. so i've so far negotiated it as far as gb news. i can get that on, but claire has to do all the rest with the, with the, the thing to get me on to the these channels thing. >> the thing. right. so the doofer becomes my control because, well, i'm not surprised. >> i assumed. right. anyway obviously, but nigel can't manage the menu system. oh. or remember channel numbers just to go there quickly. so if you're trying to find a different platform, then you need to get apps and you need to press the button. but the benefit of that is that you can't defend yourself. >> nigel. right but we'll see you both a little bit later on. here's the weather.

>> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> hello. good morning. welcome to your latest gb news weather update. it's going to be another fairly cloudy and rather cool day, and there's a few showers around for some, but for the time being should stay fairly dry and bright through the rest of the morning, particularly across north and western areas of the country. clouds going to bubble up though as we head towards lunchtime and the risk of showers starts to develop. 1 think many areas across the north should stay fairly dry. now towards the south we start to see cloud thicken through this afternoon across many areas of wales , into parts of the of wales, into parts of the midlands and across the south coast. ahead of this showery band of rain that will push up northwards throughout tonight . northwards throughout tonight. and temperatures will be well below average for the time of yean below average for the time of year. so another fairly cool day to day cloud will tend to fade away through northern across northern areas through this evening. so it will be a clear and dry night once again across many areas of northern england,

northern ireland, much of scotland and there is a risk of a further frost for saturday morning across the south, though cloud will continue to thicken as this band of showery rain continues to move northwards. but that will introduce some milder air, so it's not going to be quite as cold across southern areas of england and wales through this evening. now it will be a bright but cold start across the north on saturday. the best of the sunshine is likely to be in the morning, i think as you head towards the afternoon, cloud will bubble up once again and there's a risk of a few showers. but again, most areas should stay dry. across the midlands, though, cloud will really thicken. it's going to be quite a dull afternoon and temperatures will be suppressed and in the south any brighter spells that develop could pep off a few showers as that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on

after ripping up his coalition agreement with the greens. >> after an explosive day in scottish politics, one might wonder if this is finally the moment that the writing is on the wall for humza yousaf. join us as we analyse and make credible day of politics here in scotland. yesterday a poll of gb news viewers has revealed that the labour party are 11 points ahead of the conservatives. >> another worrying sign for the prime minister its bad news for rishi sunak, but there is a glimmer of hope. the conservatives are more trusted on immigration. could the rwanda plan save the prime minister's skin ? skin? >> the disgraced mogul, caught by the metoo movement , harvey by the metoo movement, harvey weinstein, has his 2020 conviction overturned . conviction overturned. >> a revolutionary new jab is

bringing hope of a possible cure to skin cancer as it begins trials in the uk and the prince of wales surprised his students in the west midlands during a school trip to support mental health, and he revealed his favourite dad joke along the way i >> -- >> knock knock em >> knock knock sir. interrupting cow moo . cow moo. >> my dog's got no nose. >> my dog's got no nose. >> how does he smell? >> how does he smell? >> horrible. >> horrible. >> oh very good. >> oh very good. >> okay. in the sport this morning, manchester city are on arsenal's tail and could smell blood as they beat brighton four nil. still with the game in hand , luke little upsets liverpool fans and the chinese swimming story. olympic swimmers are now likely to sue wada, who said they'd sue usada due to the announcement by china's . announcement by china's. >> good morning. it's a cloudy start today , but will there be start today, but will there be any more sunshine over the weekend? well, you can find out all the details with me a little later on.

>> morning to you. >> morning to you. >> i'm stephen dixon and i'm ellie costello, and this is breakfast on . gb news. breakfast on. gb news. perhaps we should get some dad jokes. >> oh, that's a good idea. >> oh, that's a good idea. >> as prince william's making them trendy again. >> i quite liked the one from prince william. >> i've not heard that one before, though. it was quite nice. i thought it was very good. >> i thought his delivery was good. it's all in the comic timing and he's all in the timing. comedic timing, 1 just like the fact he comes across as human, sort of human. >> yes. there's even the apparently charlotte's favourite joke. oh is it princess charlotte's favourite joke? which is lovely, isn't it? really i think they've all got the funny bone . yeah, we've all the funny bone. yeah, we've all got a sense of humour, bernadette says . bernadette says. >> can you repeat the vitamins, please? that was on vitamins that can help you with migraines and things more preventative. i guess you have to take them every day. yeah but the key one was riboflavin .

was riboflavin. >> you've got a very good memory. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> riboflavin b2 . >> riboflavin b2. >> riboflavin b2. >> yes. well, b2 is, b2 is riboflavin. so. >> between us. >> between us. >> yes . so between us we're >> yes. so between us we're across it. but you need to take about 400mg a day. yes. so there you go. so i think the brand that was here was. well, no, i would not say that because that's advertising then. >> okay. can't say that. >> okay. can't say that. >> no, i wouldn't say that, but yeah. riboflavin 400mg. that's b2. yeah now, should we go to scotland? yes because tensions are simmering after the greens revealed their plans to vote against first minister humza yousaf in a vote of no confidence. >> well, that follows a collapse of the snp's power sharing deal with the greens yesterday, leaving mr yousaf in charge of now a minority government. >> while the no confidence motion was proposed by scottish conservative leader douglas ross, who branded the snp leader weak and a failed first minister. >> let's head to glasgow and ask scotland reporter tony mcguire .

scotland reporter tony mcguire. morning, tony. what a day in scottish politics. yesterday >> indeed, certainly one of the most animated days that i can remember in quite some time. and let's face it, over the last 15 months or so, there have been no shortage of them. but indeed, this quite incredible moment yesterday morning, only three of these meetings of the cabinet unscheduled have been have been ever happened in the past. and obviously including an alex salmond budget back in 2009 that his minority government couldn't pass. and then, i believe just after brexit, where plans started imminently on the next independence referendum, that is obviously still not materialised. but yesterday certainly seems to be one of those meetings that has had the biggest effect, because not only did it leave humza yousaf and snp with a minority government, but it's also turned their yesterday allies into tomorrow's opponents. now certainly douglas

ross was there and form the first question at fmqs to launch this motion of no confidence. but then as the day progressed, we heard from the political leaders of all of scotland's parties, with the exception maybe of alba . how about we look maybe of alba. how about we look at this? >> we can confirm today that on behalf of the scottish conservatives, 1 am lodging a vote of no confidence in humza yousaf. he is a failed first minister. he is unfit for office. shouldn't this be the end of the road for this week? >> first minister, the snp have lost their way. they're weak, divided, incompetent and putting party before country isn't it time to end the circus and call an election? there are no circumstances under which the scottish liberal democrats would express confidence in either. >> the first minister, humza yousaf , or his failing yousaf, or his failing government. >> we no longer have confidence in a progressive government in

scotland doing the right thing for climate and nature, so the scottish green msps will not be supporting humza yousaf in a vote of no confidence . vote of no confidence. >> so there we have it. now if we do the maths here, it looks like there's essentially 64 would vote with the snp and 64 without. that's not including any abstentions and it could be that the casting vote will fall in the hands of ash regan . now in the hands of ash regan. now it's expected that ash regan, who is the holyrood leader of the alba party, which of course was founded by alex salmond, well, she is expected to give her conditions to humza yousaf later today , but lots of people later today, but lots of people will be asking what happens next? what happens if humza yousaf fails this vote of no confidence? well, unlike a vote of no confidence in the government, humza yousaf is under no obligation to step down. however, his credibility will take such a hit that it is very likely that his tenure will soon become untenable .

soon become untenable. >> okay, tony, thanks very much indeed. >> now, a new gb news poll has revealed good news for the labour party. according to our viewers, they are 11 points ahead of the conservatives now. >> gb news viewers and listeners also trust labour more with the cost of living, the nhs and housing. >> well, joining us now is gb news political correspondent, olivia utley. what do you make of this olivia ? of this olivia? >> well, it's pretty damning for news the prime minister. we've of course, seen worse polls for the conservative. was labour only being 11 points ahead is actually quite unusual, but the fact that gb news viewers feel like this, an audience who rishi sunak would perhaps expect to have on side, is pretty revealing . the only sort of revealing. the only sort of shred of hope for the prime minister that i can see in this is that the conservatives are still more trusted on illegal migration than the labour party, and obviously that's an issue

which is really, really important to the general public. again and again, it comes either first or second in the british public's biggest concerns with what's happening in the uk now. rishi sunak finally managed to get his rwanda policy over the political line as it were, this week. the bill has received royal assent and we are expecting flights to take off to rwanda in the next 6 to 10 weeks. what sunak is really, really hoping is that once those planes get going and hopefully prove to be a deterrent to migrants coming over here, who will see that, that their fellows are getting deported and hopefully the prime minister is thinking we'll decide not to come. well that could give rishi sunak the boost in the polls that he so desperately needs. but being so behind on so many other issues could be very problematic, particularly as one ace that the prime minister thinks he has up his sleeve is pushing, leaving the echr on the conservatives manifesto will actually. this poll of gb news

viewers suggests that the majority would like to stay in the echr. so perhaps that trump card isn't quite as valuable as the prime minister had thought . the prime minister had thought. >> okay, olivia, are you there for us in westminster? thank you very much indeed. >> now, in a landmark legal ruling, the disgraced hollywood film producer harvey weinstein has had his 2020 new york rape conviction overturned because of a mistake made by the trial judge. >> yes, the court found he did not receive a fair trial after the judge called witnesses whose accusations were not part of the case against him. weinstein was found guilty of raping and sexually assaulting two women, but is now entitled to a retrial. >> earlier, we spoke to showbiz reporter stephanie takyi. >> it's a big blow to victims of sexual assault and also the victims who bravely stood and took part in the court cases. you know, for many of these women coming forward and telling their stories of, you know, allegedly being assaulted by

harvey weinstein was not an easy task for them. so even women, including ashley judd judd, an actress , she's come out now and actress, she's come out now and she said this is an act of institutional betrayal, because what it was when harvey weinstein was sentenced in 2020, many people saw that as actually a victory for the metoo movement. you know, finally , movement. you know, finally, he's been locked away. he's not going to be a free man. so he's still already in prison, serving another sentence for 16 years. but the fact that now this has been overturned, actually, it's said to a lot of women actually , said to a lot of women actually, your stories don't matter even if you're going to court to talk about it with harvey weinstein and his defence, his team are quite happy with this verdict because it means actually, he can actually now go on trial and have his say because during the trial, he didn't really get a chance to say his side of the story. so now if there is going to be a retrial, he will get to say how what happened in these kind of situations that he's been accused of. >> i mean, but for a retrial, if

we see one in new york. yeah. for the victims , that's going to for the victims, that's going to be very difficult, isn't it? having to rehash everything that they say they've been through. >> it is. and i think a lot of them have lost faith in the system because, you know, you've convicted this for man 23 years. many people were celebrating because they thought this is the situation over. he's been locked away, but now you've got the highest court in new york coming out saying, actually, we've made an error in such a very delicate case like that. i think a lot of victims have now lost support and hope in the system. but, you know, from what's come out, the statements that have come out from the courts, they say, do you still want to honour victims? but the law is the law. even someone like harvey weinstein. the public already have made their opinion about him, but he is entitled to a fair trial. but this is the problem. >> if you said this isn't a fair trial and as you say, the public have got their view on it all, how does he then get it's going to be going to be a retrial. how

is that going to be fair? >> well, this is why they've kind of kind of shot themselves in the foot here because it was very a tight verdict. it was 4 to 3. in order to have this court ruling to be brought back to trial. but the problem is now people know harvey weinstein's story. and i think a lot of juries, even if you got them from all over the world, they've already made up their mind. so for someone like harvey weinstein, it's going to be very hard to give him a fair trial. the only victory, i think, for harvey weinstein here is that he's going to manage to say his side of the story, but it means as well, less victims. if there is a retrial, there will be less victims who will be able to come forward because none of their stories have been stood up in a court of evidence, in evidence. so it's going to be quite hard . so it's going to be quite hard. >> okay. well, at 8:12, let's take a look at some other stories coming into the newsroom. >> well, the world's first personalised mrna jab for melanoma is being used in the uk. a british teacher was the first person to get the jab. it's being described as a groundbreaking clinical trial.

>> i had any fear because, i just by doing the trial , i feel just by doing the trial, i feel like i'm actively doing something to give it a kicking. basically a 13 year old girl has been charged with three counts of attempted murder after two teachers and a pupil were stabbed at a man valley school in wales on wednesday. >> the teachers and pupil have now been released from hospital after being treated for stab wounds . wounds. >> vice chancellors from 24 leading universities have been warned by m15 that foreign states are targeting british institutions to undermine national security , while the national security, while the government and security services are worried that cutting edge research could be targeted by foreign states. >> should we take a look at the weather? >> yeah, mentioned that with

annie . annie. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> hello. good morning. welcome to your latest gb news weather update. it's going to be another fairly cloudy and rather cool day, and there's a few showers around for some, but for the time being should stay fairly dry and bright through the rest of the morning, particularly across north and western areas of the country. clouds are going to bubble up though, as we head towards lunchtime and the risk of showers starts to develop. 1 think many areas across the north should stay fairly dry now towards the south we start to see cloud thicken through this afternoon across many areas of wales, into parts of the midlands and across the south coast. ahead of this showery band of rain that will push up northwards throughout tonight, and temperatures will be well below average for the time of yean below average for the time of year. so another fairly cool day today. cloud will tend to fade away through northern across northern areas through this evening, so it will be a clear

and dry night once again across many areas of northern england, northern ireland, much of scotland and there is a risk of a further frost for saturday morning across the south, though, cloud will continue to thicken as this band of showery rain continues to move northwards. but that will introduce some milder air, so it's not going to be quite as cold across southern areas of england and wales through this evening. now it will be a bright but cold start across the north on saturday. the best of the sunshine is likely to be in the morning, i think as you head towards the afternoon, cloud will bubble up once again and there's a risk of a few showers. but again, most areas should stay dry. across the midlands, though, cloud will really thicken. it's going to be quite a dull afternoon and temperatures will be suppressed and in the south any brighter spells that develop could pep off a few showers. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on . gb news. on. gb news. >> well, some good news this morning. it is the final day to see how your next holiday could be on us, with your chance to win a greek cruise for two

and who's done the poll. and was it so it's been asked. let me just explain. it was conducted by jl partners. so an independent company and it was 518, recent and current gb news viewers . so that's who was viewers. so that's who was asked. now how they select these people , who's who's contacted people, who's who's contacted that i don't know how the minutia of all that works, but whenever there's polls, whatever poll you read , people are poll you read, people are contacted. and so, you know, we're doing this poll . would you we're doing this poll. would you like to contribute? now, what's interesting about this one, and why it's quite damning, is that , why it's quite damning, is that, you would imagine and it would be presumed that a majority of gb news viewers and listeners may , may prefer. let's bring the may, may prefer. let's bring the graphic up, may prefer the conservative party, so although it's a smaller gap than you're seeing in other polls, like the yougov poll yesterday has got a 25% gap between the two. it's still in the 11% gap amongst current or or recent gb news viewers . so that's who's

viewers. so that's who's conducting the poll, so there you go. for all of those who are messaging about it, and we'll just run you through some of these findings. >> gb news viewers trust labour more with apparently with the cost of living, nhs and housing seven and ten think that the government is not tough enough when it comes to dealing with crime. two thirds of gb news viewers think the government should spend more on the nhs, and three quarters of gb news viewers think that immigration is too high. 18% say it's about right. all right, there you go . right. all right, there you go. >> let's move on to the prince of wales . should we? because we of wales. should we? because we need something to smile about. and actually, what a lovely thing it must have been if you're at this particular school. that was shocked yesterday when he made a surprise visit . turned up out of surprise visit. turned up out of the blue in the west midlands. >> yeah. what a lovely surprise this was after 12 year old freddie hadley from sandwell wrote a letter to prince william inviting him to see his schools

mental health campaign. our royal correspondent cameron walker was there . walker was there. >> it's not every day you're pulled out of class to meet a prince, but for saint michael's high school students yesterday, that's exactly what happened . that's exactly what happened. when did you find out he was coming to your school? >> like ten minutes ago. yeah >> like ten minutes ago. yeah >> a bit of a shock. >> a bit of a shock. >> yes. we just can't believe that someone so important has turned up to the west midlands to see, you know, 1200 children. they would never get this opportunity again. and we're just a little bit shell shocked that somebody so famous has turned up today. >> prince william's visits to the west midlands were sparked last october, when 12 year old freddie hadele invited him to come and learn about the schools mental health campaign . mental health campaign. freddie's letter was posted on x and to his surprise , william and to his surprise, william personally tweeted back on world mental health day. he apologised for not being able to visit but asked pupils to keep up their important work. asked pupils to keep up their important work . fast forward to important work. fast forward to yesterday and freddie got his wish .

wish. >> i sent him walking down. i was like i couldn't, i could not wrap my head around this. it was like a good thing i didn't get told because obviously it wouldn't be such as a big surprise. but when i seen him, i was like, gosh, this is like, like a once in a lifetime chance for sure . for sure. >> two pairs of the pair sat down for the all male matrix project, which runs the am i manly enough campaign, tackling the stigma around male mental health. william said he realised his passions to solve homelessness and addiction were both connected to mental health problems, which is why he's committed to solving that too. he said boys and men need to talk more about their feelings. >> the suicide rate in young men is just terrifying and i wanted to do something about it. >> the group broadcasts a local radio show with fun segments, which william was too all happy to take part in. >> i've been asked to produce a dad joke , so i'm kind of trying dad joke, so i'm kind of trying to channel jack whitehall because most of his jokes are pretty dad like, knock knock , pretty dad like, knock knock, interrupting cow moo . i mean,

interrupting cow moo. i mean, i hear a lot of homers in a bizarre turn of events, comedian jack whitehall was happy with his royal badge of honour tweeting rinsed by the future king, the prince of wales spent time shaking hands with as many pupils as possible. >> before he left. he was impressed by saint michael's whole school approach to mental health. it's understood these pupils are more inclined to open up about their feelings , up about their feelings, successfully breaking down stigmas and paving the way for happier and healthier futures . happier and healthier futures. cameron walker gb news. >> all right, so lovely seeing all their faces. >> isn't it so pleased to see. >> isn't it so pleased to see. >> i'm so excited. well you would be be. >> oh there you go. >> oh there you go. >> is it funny. and i sort of don't know why. >> well he's royalty isn't he. >> well he's royalty isn't he. >> well he's royalty isn't he. >> well yeah. >> well yeah. >> but i don't know what it is about him. but i'd be thrilled to meet him or catherine. >> well, he's just so lovely, isn't he? he comes across so lovely, as does catherine. so we'd be delighted. and they

certainly were as well. and what star freddie is? >> he's very good. >> he's very good. >> he's very good. >> he's also very good. >> he's also very good. >> stand out. >> stand out. >> held his own. i'd be a i'd be a good be a i'd be a wreck as well. >> but no, he was very, very sweet and good on him. he got a result there didn't he. got the prince to the school. >> i'll tell you what. >> i'll tell you what. >> that's something for life, isn't it? i mean, look at the vie and all the rest of it. you know, in all the papers there's a picture of him with the future king, you know, which he'll have for life now, when he's when he's a right old fella, he'll be there with that picture. it's great. >> fantastic. lovely. >> fantastic. lovely. >> so thank you to cameron walker for bringing us that story. but do stay with us because paul coyte will be back

news. welcome back to breakfast. it's sports time and paul coyte is here with us. what do you want to talk about? >> first bright nil. >> first bright nil. >> manchester city 18.

>> manchester city 18. >> no, close. >> no, close. >> close . yeah, yeah. see, the >> close. yeah, yeah. see, the thing is, once you do the inflexion up, it could be any score. but all you know is that they've won. yeah, but it was four nil and they were very good yesterday. and manchester city i mean i've been saying it all along. they're doing what they do towards the end of the season. they win and it looks as well does that. it's very tight at the top. it is how many points between them and arsenal. it's one. but they've got a game in hand to arsenal. the top. they've got 77 points. i've played 34. manchester city have played 34. manchester city have played 33 and are on 76. so man city are away at forest at the weekend, arsenal away at tottenham hotspur . so obviously tottenham hotspur. so obviously they won't get any points there will they ask. no, they might not. >> but manchester city against forest, you would think so . forest, you would think so. >> you would think so liverpool though i mean they're not out out of it. i mean everybody's saying oh liverpool they're done for but they're on 74 points. so and they've played 34. so they could put a little run together. it's very tight. it's very exciting. so that's how things are looking at the moment. but

man city back certainly on form and doing what they do at the moment. arnie. arnie, what have we decided on? ellie? >> arnie arnie is what the consensus answer slot slot seems to be. >> most definitely the next manager of liverpool. once jurgen klopp goes, klopp for slot, this is what he said. he's the current manager of feyenoord. it seems clear to me that i would like to work there. i don't know whether that's lost in translation there from dutch to english, but it doesn't sound like it sounds like gobbledegook or double dutch, some would say. but, all i can say is that the clubs are in negotiations and i'm in the waiting room. that makes a little more sense. so it seems that something's going on and they're probably working out what this package is going to be as far as pay towards feyenoord , as far as pay towards feyenoord, should he move over. so that's where we are at the moment. okay, so it looks like that's going to i was just as you say that. >> i just thought i'd googled some slots jokes. >> right. yeah, yeah. just so

we've got machine when i said he's a machine. >> yeah yeah yeah. >> yeah yeah yeah. >> but unfortunately there's not a list of slot jokes. >> yeah. they're not really appropriate slotting in. >> i'm not. okay. all right. fine. >> probably better. so should things go bad for him then maybe you can start throwing those in there. >> yeah. yeah. if it starts going bad. right. >> man united should tell you about what's going on there. >> yeah. what's going on with us? aren't they? >> well, this is interesting. i mean, it's a lot of companies, aren't they? cut cost cutting left, right and centre, this is what they've done for manchester united, which i think is a lovely thing that they've always donein lovely thing that they've always done in the past for their staff. it's about 1100 staff. so when they go to the cup final, which they did last year, they get two tickets. so this lovely thing, two, two tickets for the cup final travel to and from wembley. so return travel there. it sounds like i'm doing a quiz show. pre—match lunch after party hotel in london. ineos have come in and gone. can't be doing any of that. oh, so they will offer them one ticket but it'll cost you £20 on the coach to go and that's it. so cost cutting. so staff, whether they're very happy about that i doubt. but it's a nice thing

that they do. yeah i think so. yeah. but you know what. >> it's always the first thing to go the parties. >> if you think of what a player this is the thing that would always come up. what player would earn compared to what that would earn compared to what that would cost. there's a lot though wouldn't it? 1100. so it's probably about half an hour's wages for many players. >> well, i'll be it could well be now loot littler. oh yes. now what's all this about him getting booed? was it was it good natured or not? >> yeah, i think so. you know what it's like with anybody in this country. if they. if they do, well, everybody loves them. and then there's a point where it all turns. where he was in liverpool, he was playing in the premier league of darts yesterday. did very well. but playing in liverpool he's a manchester united fan. so he got booed and as he was walking through i mean he's only 17 but i mean they still booing him. he was giving it all that i think we've learnt. there we are. he's reacting. he's doing all this to nil because everton beat liverpool two nil. but i don't know whether he's thinking that. well actually half of half of this everton is in liverpool as well. so maybe the everton fans softened to him. but the reds

fans did not. so that's what he was doing. so he was giving it the big one. but he was very good yesterday. >> i don't blame him for having for a fighting back. >> exactly. if they're giving him stick then give it back a little bit. so two nil. it's not really endeared himself to liverpool fans, but probably has to the everton fans. finally, a little golf, from louisiana, from new orleans, the louisiana course, the tpc louisiana . now course, the tpc louisiana. now there's louisiana, there's animals. well, i say animals on the course . oh, they've got to the course. oh, they've got to be very careful. any idea what they could be? >> alligators. alligators. >> alligators. alligators. >> have a look at this. look at this. so going up to play get about to play your tee shot. >> oh, look at this fella. >> oh, look at this fella. >> look at this fella. how would you feel? i'd run a mile yes i would he's only one of the smaller ones. there was a legendary gator with three legs. do you know, do you know what his nickname was? you're gonna be quicker. it's gonna be tricky . no good. >> i don't know, tripod. >> i don't know, tripod. >> they used to call him.

>> they used to call him. >> that's right. >> that's right. >> tripod is still around, but that's a little. well that's a oh, he's taking his time. >> he's quite relaxed. >> he's quite relaxed. >> so they're thinking don't. so he's just going to practice. everybody seems very calm. do especially the gator i mean what would you do if you were playing golf and an alligator start coming. >> because one of those things the walking very slowly like that. but if they want to move, they can move, can't they? >> isn't that where you have to do the diagonal run? >> oh, i don't know. >> oh, i don't know. >> or is that i'm not really sure the gun i'd find myself in a situation like that thinking i'm being chased by a lion or alligator is which one is it? i do the diagonal run for which one is it? i keep still with? i really don't know. but anyway, this golf buggy. yeah. that's it. that's the answer. golf buggy with doors and just in completely. anyway, speeding the life out of me. that's what happens. that's the zurich classic which is going on in louisiana at the moment. right. and interestingly, in switzerland, they have the louisiana classic. work that one out. >> oh darn. >> oh darn. >> is that in switzerland, though? >> is it the zurich classic? but it's in louisiana. yeah, yeah, i

think it's a sponsor. i don't think it's a sponsor. i don't think it's a sponsor. i don't think it's actually, you know, it's zurich. >> i'm very confused. >> i'm very confused. >> you know what? you were confused the moment i mentioned tripod. so let's leave it i know, i know, thank you. >> paul coyte. >> paul coyte. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> have a lovely weekend. >> have a lovely weekend. >> took me straight back to that. do you remember that bbc series for kids called the tripods, based on books? it was back in the 1980s. >> i don't remember the tripods. >> i don't remember the tripods. >> the tripods? yeah, it was a great three legged. it was a sci fi thing. right. and it was. it was great. >> why were they called the tripods then? >> because. well, because there were big machines, big tripod, auen were big machines, big tripod, alien things. >> wow. >> wow. >> i never got a second series. no i think they had three series. >> oh. did they? >> oh. did they? >> yeah. there you go. >> yeah. there you go. >> glimpse into my childhood. >> glimpse into my childhood. >> it's sci fi, so of course you were i loved it. >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> loved it. i was only about 12, 13 i think. >> not a lot has changed. >> not a lot has changed. >> really. no >> really. no >> don't expect it on netflix soon. that one. >> no, no i don't think now the production values would hold up. >> put it that way. well no, no, do stay with us though because our production values are excellent and they're excellent. >> yes. nigel nelson and claire

pearsall are going to be back too, to go through all the papers. that's

next. >> time to go through the papers, then. 841 with our senior political commentator, mr nigel nelson. and former government adviser , mr claire government adviser, mr claire pearsall. good morning to you both. >> good morning. you too. >> good morning. you too. >> nigel. let's have a look at donald trump. should we on the telegraph this morning if we must. >> yes, certainly, the big wrangling going going on in america over whether or not, trump can, can claim presidential immunity from prosecution . and so this is prosecution. and so this is like, this is over , his like, this is over, his objections to the way the election was lost to him back in 2020. and what it could do, the most important thing is if they keep arguing about it, that it

could put this case back beyond the november election. so he doesn't have that hanging over him , but the end. him, but the end. >> and should he then be elected , he could be prosecuted but then give himself immunity, pardon? >> then he can he can pardon himself as president. yeah. so you've got several cases going on. you've got the stormy daniels case going on in, in tandem to this. but the kind of things they're arguing is, is the points of law are , could a, the points of law are, could a, a, a president if they got immunity, assassinate a political rival or could they stage a coup to take over the country? i mean, it's that kind of stuff. but i mean, i suppose the serious bit is that if you establish that a head of state, the american head of state has immunity , it puts them on a par immunity, it puts them on a par with the king, because, of course, our king king can't break his own laws , so it's the break his own laws, so it's the same kind of idea, but it's an interesting , interesting legal interesting, interesting legal wrangle. although the serious side of it is what, what will

happen to trump at the end of it? do you think it's going to be a fairly tight call by the supreme court or not? >> i, i think it will be. i think that there are always going to be those detractors. but i suppose if you have to just look at the rule of law, it's going to be very, very tncky it's going to be very, very tricky to have the president of a country effectively being able to pardon himself or herself from, from offences. and i to pardon himself or herself from, from offences. and 1 they just brings into question the judiciary system in america , the judiciary system in america, the presidential system. but the one thing it is doing is not denting the support donald trump, the more he's in the papers, the more he's in the papers, the more he's in the papers, the more he is out there speaking, the more people seem to love him. and it doesn't matter if even if he ended up in jail, i think that people would still be supportive of their president from behind bars looking after their country. it is just the most bizarre thing. i don't think any of us had this on a bingo card that you would have

donald trump, being called into court over hush to money an aduu court over hush to money an adult star, to, you know, the insurrection on january 6th. it's so strange you couldn't write it. and to look at the decision making process , i don't decision making process, i don't think there's going to be anybody that's going to call this correctly. i think that it is really going to be down to those those people making the decision. it's going to be a bizarre one. see? >> what is it? is it six three in the supreme court at the moment in favour of 6 to 3? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> in favour of the republican three. >> sorry. 4 to 3. yeah. yeah. >>— >> sorry. 4 to 3. yeah. yeah. >> but that even that doesn't guarantee him success. >> no it doesn't. and also they've broken down by political lines. and because they are political appointees, that makes the whole court system a bit weird. i mean, you know, we think british politics is odd at the moment. but i think if you look across the, across the atlantic, he is even stranger. >> yeah, i think in the history books are going to look at this time as a very odd time, i

think, right, let's have a look at, the guardian and harvey weinstein . claire. yeah. weinstein. claire. yeah. >> i mean, you you can understand why you would want to get, the process correctly looked at, but it does now call into question the whole sort of metoo movement. this is now being his conviction overturned on a, on a real technicality, that one of the, people's testimony that were put in were not the original complainants. so and it was also sort of statute bars. so you were outside the statute of limitations on that individual . limitations on that individual. so you've got this decision, which was a 4 to 3 against in new york, to get this , this new york, to get this, this overturned. and it's going to bnng overturned. and it's going to bring into question all of the other trials that he's been through. now he's currently serving 16 years for in california for the offence that he was convicted of there. so he isn't going to come out of

prison. but it does bring into question some of the testimony that was also given in that trial, because this same individual has also given the same testimony over there. so there are some real issues. what ihope there are some real issues. what i hope does not happen is it doesn't discourage women from coming forward , because that was coming forward, because that was one of the big things out of the metoo movement is that women suddenly found that they had a voice and that they would be believed, and i think it would believed, and i think it would be terrible if that was all reversed and women weren't being believed. they were put in the background and not listened to . background and not listened to. and i think we would move backwards in a really bad way. i just think this is really important and we're we lose sight of the fact that these victims were abused by man in power. >> it just seems, extraordinary in a way. this i mean, when you look at it in black and white, it looks like a glaring error. yeah. so how on earth could that not have been spotted at the time? >> well, i mean, it seems it's not so much it wasn't spotted. it's the it's the appeal process

which says he didn't get a fair trial and i mean, i think everything that claire said is absolutely right about about the effect on the metoo movement and, and, and the women, the women survivors of what happened . and but justice has got to be seen to be done and to be fair. and if that conviction was unsafe, it is right to hold a retrial. it doesn't mean he'll get off. i mean, the retrial might find him guilty again. but the but i think that , if there the but i think that, if there are flaws in the way the case was handled , it is quite right was handled, it is quite right that they they run it. run it again is it possible for harvey weinstein to have a fair trial, though in terms. >> well, that's the thing now isn't it. >> the retrial. that's the argument over anybody who's actually in the public eye. yeah. can he get a fair trial? and of course he's actually imprisoned in california, over, over a completely different rape. so there's he's got previous in that sense, but i think you always encounter that difficulty with, with famous

people, especially if you know about their background . i mean, about their background. i mean, ideally, jurors shouldn't know anything about the background of the people that they're judging, but it is going to be very, very difficult because this was all over the media for such a long time. >> it was four years ago that the court case came up. so everybody has looked into this. so i don't think you can have a fair trial. but that's not to be said that he shouldn't still go in front of a jury of his peers. that's that's the way the judicial system works. and we have to stick with it. yeah should we talk about a cunning plan to save the world. yeah. >> we, we do love a bit of baldrick don't we. and this is, about turnips and it's the of course it is baldrick . actor, course it is baldrick. actor, tony robinson says that to combat climate change, the one thing that we would be able to eat are turnips . eat are turnips. >> because i like a turnip as well. >> okay . >> okay. >> okay. >> you would want meat on every day, would you? >> probably not. >> probably not. >> it's a food that you have

occasionally it's fine. i don't think we could sustain ourselves, but apparently it is the it is a very adaptable, climate friendly food source. and in fact, therese coffey, when she was defra secretary, told everybody when there was a food shortage, turnips must eat turnips. >> but bear in mind, if the if the end of the world comes, the only thing that will actually survive is cockroaches. so we've got to hope that cockroaches like the turnips, i mean, not selling this very well. >> are we not a mashed turnips? obviously. neeps are a very tasty. it's not something that i'd have every week . i'd have every week. >> you can roast them. >> you can roast them. >> very nice roasted slice and roast. >> okay, well, maybe. maybe that's it. i need to investigate some turnip recipes. so this is what push comes to shove. >> no, no, please don't . >> no, no, please don't. >> no, no, please don't. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> no, i wouldn't mind about that. nigel what's this, going through a rough patch in the sun. well, there's a million potholes in this country, so understandable . people would understandable. people would have protest about them. and what's happened in one street in chelmsford in essex is that the

street was called patching hall lane. and i know patching hall lane. >> do you, do you do you know what it's now called? pothole lane. >> you're almost there. patch the holes now. >> oh very good. yeah. >> oh very good. yeah. >> so they've got loads and loads of potholes there. and someone said right can you, can we do something about them and is the thing that's the absolute scourge of, communities everywhere that would in local government always says there are the three p's which are, planning, parking and potholes. those are the things they must fix. >> so the problem with patching hall lane is it's got two really big schools on it and a big hospital at the bottom. so they'll be very concerned about people being hurt, i imagine. >> yeah, going across one of those on an ambulance would be much fun would it. >> oh wouldn't would it. >> oh wouldn't would it. >> or a bike on the way to school. you can see the cycle lane there. yeah. >> it's got to be done. i'll tell you what. you've you've been a local councillor. i have, haven't you. is this what the problem seems to be? well, it's funding, but that means councils

are patching rather than properly filling. yes. yeah. it never works. >> it never works because the surface just breaks up again the minute you have traffic going back over it, or it's a bit wet or a bit cold, then it breaks up. but the problem is when you need to fix potholes properly by ripping up the road surface and starting again, which of course you need temporary traffic lights, road closures. that also irritates people. you're never going to win, but people have patience with that, though, wouldn't they? to an extent, potholes to an extent. if they fixed it and they fixed it properly. there was a local road near us which had to be shut, was beautiful early retirement and it was stunning to drive on. it was brilliant . it really was it was brilliant. it really was lovely. it had been bone crunching for years and years and years and it was beautiful. and then of course, the inevitable happened. there was a utility problem and it had to be dug up again. and now the surface is broken and you can just see the potholes going to reform. and we are particularly bad at looking after our roads. >> but it's that in terms of responsibility, would that not fall under the utility company.

>> yes it does, but they will have put it back to a certain standard and which is not maybe as great. you can councils can then force the utilities companies back to resurface it properly. but if they have done it to the specifications given at the time under the licence of digging it up. >> so we need to then you can do it. >> we need to up the specs on it all. that's always so annoying the minute you get a nicely laid road. then suddenly we have to dig up a pipe and then you've got a permanent track down it and it never matches up properly i >> -- >> so you've got this little rut on one side, but it is one of the biggest issues. but as soon as you stick some temporary traffic lights up, you watch your local social media, just go into meltdown. >> really? yeah, absolutely. >> really? yeah, absolutely. >> and we've had it recently and it's just every other post on the local facebook page is about the local facebook page is about the traffic lights. >> you can't win . >> you can't win. >> you can't win. >> you can't win. >> you can't, you can't. but we need to we need to fix potholes. we just need to do it quickly. and that's the one thing we don't do. yeah, no . don't do. yeah, no. >> it's true. can we talk about sambas, please ?

sambas, please? >> yes. now it's always trainers sorry. >> trainers, adidas trainers, adidas trainers. >> and this is always bad when you've got a politician wearing something fashionable. and in that case it was rishi sunak sporting a pair of sambas. that case it was rishi sunak sporting a pair of sambas . and sporting a pair of sambas. and now we've got nigel farage of this parish wearing a pair of gazelles. so adidas gazelle trainers in a photograph and oh, the brands don't like this. and everybody then go and point it out that a politician is wearing a particular brand of shoe or a jacket or indeed music. >> oh yeah. and you always get it. >> i mean, it.— >> i mean, it's it. >> i mean, it's like your dad liking something the minute your dad likes something, the answer to it is no. but you famous music ones are, you know, sort of david cameron professing to like the smiths in 2006, gordon brown liking the arctic monkeys. >> oh, yeah. >> oh, yeah. >> but that was made up, wasn't it ? it? >> they do make it up. and that's the trouble. they make up

football teams and things like that because. and then if someone questions them, they never get it right. and certainly on the fashion front, i mean, i think that william hague ruined the baseball cap by turning it back to front. and i suppose michael foot at the cenotaph ruined the donkey jacket. yeah, because no one would go out and go out in pubuc would go out and go out in public with one of those again, this is politicians just need to just dress normally. >> just pair normal shoes, shoes . just work shoes. he doesn't really need. i mean, rishi sunak, you're running the country, you don't need to sit there in a pair of adidas. >> i don't know, it's like, you see, i wear i'm wearing trainers as we speak. >> well, maybe. maybe you should be running the country. >> you ought to show us. >> you ought to show us. >> it'sjust >> you ought to show us. >> it's just much more comfortable. unless your shoes are in shot. but if you're the prime minister and the shoes were in shot. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> maybe you shouldn't be wearing a trainers. >> no, it's got to be sort of, you know, cool dad vibe about it, which is just everybody laughs at, unfortunately. and of course the brand takes a hit. >> true, you to have taken a hit

because we're losing you very much indeed. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> you too. we'll take a look at the weather now with annie. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar, the sponsors of weather on gb news. >> hello. good morning. welcome to your latest gb news weather update. it's going to be another fairly cloudy and rather cool day, and there's a few showers around for some, but for the time being should stay fairly dry and bright through the rest of the morning, particularly across north and western areas of the country. clouds going to bubble up though, as we head towards lunchtime and the risk of showers starts to develop. 1 think many areas across the north should stay fairly dry . north should stay fairly dry. now towards the south we start to see cloud thicken through this afternoon across many areas of wales, into parts of the midlands and across the south coast. ahead of this showery band of rain that will push up northwards throughout tonight and temperatures will be well below average for the time of yean below average for the time of year. so another fairly cool day today. cloud will tend to fade away through northern across northern areas through this evening, so it will be a clear

and dry night once again across many areas of northern england, northern ireland, much of scotland and there is a risk of a further frost for saturday morning across the south, though cloud will continue to thicken as this band of showery rain continues to move northwards. but that will introduce some milder air, so it's not going to be quite as cold across southern areas of england and wales through this evening. now it will be a bright but cold start across the north on saturday. the best of the sunshine is likely to be in the morning, i think as you head towards the afternoon, cloud will bubble up once again and there's a risk of a few showers. but again, most areas should stay dry. across the midlands, though, cloud will really thicken. it's going to be quite a dull afternoon and temperatures will be suppressed and in the south any brighter spells that develop could pep off a few showers. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt

away .

away. >> good morning to you. it's 9:00 on friday. the 26th of april. today, tensions are high in scotland as humza yousaf faces a vote of no confidence after ripping up his coalition agreement with the greens . agreement with the greens. >> indeed. well, this is an extraordinary period of scottish politics. humza yousaf due to speak in glasgow later today. will he come out fighting on well, as his detractors say, it will only be a matter of when not if, he goes . not if, he goes. >> a poll of gb news viewers has revealed that labour are 11 points ahead of the conservatives. is this another worrying sign for the prime minister >> a depressing poll result yet again for rishi sunak, but with again for rishi sunak, but with a glimmer of hope, the conservatives are more trusted on immigration. can rishi sunak make that work to his advantage ? make that work to his advantage? >> also today, the disgraced mogul caught by the metoo movement, harvey weinstein, has

his 2020 conviction overturned . his 2020 conviction overturned. >> a revolutionary new jab is bringing hope of a possible cure to skin cancer as it begins trials in the uk. >> and prince william surprises students in the west midlands dunng students in the west midlands during a school trip to support mental health. and he did a bit of a stand up routine when he was there, knock knock sir. interrupting cow moo . interrupting cow moo. >> morning. it's a cloudy start today , but will there be any today, but will there be any more sunshine over the weekend? well, you can find out all the details with me a little later on. >> morning to you . >> morning to you. >> morning to you. >> i'm stephen dixon, and i'm ellie costello, and this is breakfast on gb news. mike sheldon says, stephen, tell ellie i remember the tripods kids tv show based on hg wells

war of the worlds. never watched it properly, but did see it. but as i was older, i turned over the channels . the channels. >> yeah, well, it was based. it was based on a on a on a the tripod trilogy, which is a separate book . so i don't say it separate book. so i don't say it wasn't the war of the worlds saying they had tripod machines as well in war of the worlds, but it was, claire pearsall remembered it. well, you've got them all going here. >> oh, steve, have the tripods was ace for the time. well worth digging up a copy. >> yeah, might be worth doing that, actually , peter says that, actually, peter says stephen trainers with a suit you need to sack your style advisers. >> nothing looks worse . >> nothing looks worse. >> nothing looks worse. >> oh, i don't know, because then nigel says, which is what i always think of. didn't david tennant make them cool in doctor who? he did. he always wore. he wore, converse . converse. yeah, wore, converse. converse. yeah, okay, now i understand . yes. okay, now i understand. yes. because if david tennant does it, then you do it. that's the thing, jennifer says trainers are extremely comfortable, especially if you suffer with foot problems. when thornbury came on, i won't read that. oh.

>> but no , i wouldn't be wearing >> but no, i wouldn't be wearing trainers if i were prime minister. >> i don't think. >> i don't think. >> no. well, probably not if you're a prime minister. to be fair. >> but then rishi sunak wasn't. >> but then rishi sunak wasn't. >> but then rishi sunak wasn't. >> but there's a lot to be said for wearing trainers with a suit if you've got. i mean, it's like i've got a walker. yeah, but no one sees you. one sees you. >> one sees you. >> and i think that one's comfort, but it's all different if you're out and about and you are on double trainers. >> i just wear comfortable trainers. >> yes, you do, thanks. well, they they do look very comfortable. they do . i'll tell comfortable. they do. i'll tell you that. >> i'm wearing a brand that i really like, and i now buy all my trainers from and, but if anyone's remotely trendy, they laugh at me . but there you go, laugh at me. but there you go, so. yes. thank you so much for your views, gbnews.com/yoursay do keep them coming in. >> let's head to scotland now. should we? where tensions are simmering. boiling, i should say, after the greens revealed that they plan to vote against the first minister, humza yousaf, in a vote of no

confidence. yes. >> the decision follows the collapse of the snp's power sharing deal with the greens yesterday , leaving mr yousaf in yesterday, leaving mr yousaf in charge of a minority government . charge of a minority government. >> well, the no confidence motion proposed by the scottish conservative leader, douglas ross, who branded the snp leader weak and a failed first minister. >> well, joining us now from glasgow is gb news scotland reporter tony maguire. to good see you this morning tony. this is an extraordinary time in scottish politics isn't it. and we are expecting to hear from the first minister a little bit later on today . later on today. >> yes that's correct. early certainly. this is you know, i guess , the latest in a long line guess, the latest in a long line of challenges facing humza yousaf . he of challenges facing humza yousaf. he hasn't of challenges facing humza yousaf . he hasn't exactly had yousaf. he hasn't exactly had the easiest 13 months since taking over from his predecessor, nicola sturgeon . predecessor, nicola sturgeon. but certainly this is undoubtedly the biggest challenge that he's had to face. now yesterday morning we obviously ended that power sharing agreement, that confidence and supply agreement with the green party here in

scotland . and then just shortly scotland. and then just shortly after first minister's question as regular every thursday at holyrood , douglas ross came out holyrood, douglas ross came out with his vote of no confidence intentions. and then as the afternoon progressed , we slowly afternoon progressed, we slowly heard from the other leaders and we've got a bit from them to share with you. now we can confirm today that on behalf of the scottish conservatives, 1 am lodging a vote of no confidence in humza yousaf . in humza yousaf. >> he is a failed first minister. he is unfit for office. shouldn't this be the end of the road for this week ? end of the road for this week? >> first minister, the snp have lost their way. their weak, divided, incompetent and putting party before country. isn't it time to end the circus and call an election? >> there are no circumstances under which the scottish liberal democrats would express confidence in either the first minister, humza yousaf, or his failing government. >> we no longer have confidence

in a progressive government in scotland doing the right thing for climate and nature, so the scottish green msps will not be supporting humza yousaf in a vote of no confidence. >> so the question on everyone's lips is what happens next? well humza yousaf, he's here in glasgow at strathclyde university today . he's glasgow at strathclyde university today. he's going to be giving a speech on the labour market and an independent scotland. yet another one of the independence papers and indeed the snp's westminster leader, stephen flynn . he believes that stephen flynn. he believes that humza yousaf will come out fighting in fact, only in the last hour he's come out and said that he doesn't know if he would even stand again if humza yousaf is not going to be the leader of the party. and of course, that all important vote of no confidence likely to happen next week does all the power end up in the hands of ash regan, the msp , who is essentially msp, who is essentially ostracised for taking her stance against the gender recognition reform bill. indeed, i think

we're only maybe part of the way through this saga, but certainly keep it to gb news for the rest of the day and we will keep you up with all the latest developments. >> yeah, tony, thanks very much indeed. it will be fascinating to see what the first minister has to say when he holds that news conference a little bit later on. i mean, there's speculation about saying, well, he's going to resign. he's going to step down. i would doubt it. i could, i could be wrong, but it's not like a politician to do that. just like that is it. no i think he'll, i think he'll fight it. but quite how long will he cling on. >> well stay across gb news all day, as tony says. and we'll keep you across. any developments with that story? now, a new gb news poll has revealed good news for the labour party . according to labour party. according to viewers, they are 11 points ahead of the conservative gives, while gb news viewers and listeners also trust labour more with the cost of living, the nhs and housing. well, joining us now is gb news political

correspondent olivia utley . and correspondent olivia utley. and based on the results of this poll, it's a bit of a headache for the prime minister >> it is another massive headache for the prime minister. labour leading by 11 points among gb news viewers who the prime minister at least might expect to be more sympathetic to the conservative cause on issues like defence, where the conservatives normally are far ahead, crime as well tackling crime. the labour party is now storming ahead. another example of keir starmer stealing the conservatives clothes, taking that centre ground, the only sort of shred of for hope the prime minister is that the conservative party is still more trusted in this poll on tackling illegal migration, and that is an issue which is almost more important than anything to b'rit. it normally comes either first or second on the list of concerns facing the uk. now. the prime minister managed finally to get his rwanda bill over the line this week . it's now

line this week. it's now received royal assent and we can expect to see flights taking off to rwanda in the next 6 to 10 weeks, barring any last minute legal challenges . what rishi legal challenges. what rishi sunakis legal challenges. what rishi sunak is really, really hoping is that when that happens, he will start to see a boost in the polls. all of those people who care more about immigration than anything else will think. hang on a minute. maybe the conservatives are the only ones i can trust. that is what rishi sunakis i can trust. that is what rishi sunak is banking on right now. all his eggs are pretty much in the rwanda basket. will it pay off? well, we'll have a much clearer idea after the general election, after the local elections next week. yes indeed. >> olivia, thanks very much indeed. it's going to be fascinating to see the local elections. we'll have the first results coming through this time next week. yeah. though there it's not like there's a general election, is it? there'll be a bit more of a of a drip effect. so we'll be getting them all through the weekend. so we'll keep you up to date won't we. yes we will ask next weekend. >> this time next week. >> this time next week. >> now the prince of wales shocked 1200 pupils yesterday ,

shocked 1200 pupils yesterday, making a surprise visit to a high school in the west midlands. well, this was after 12 year old freddie hadley, from sandwell, wrote a letter to prince william inviting him to see his school's mental health campaign. >> our royal correspondent cameron walker was there . cameron walker was there. >> it's not every day you're pulled out of class to meet a prince, but for saint michael's high school students yesterday, that's exactly what happened . that's exactly what happened. when did you find out he was coming to your school? >> like ten minutes ago. yeah >> like ten minutes ago. yeah >> bit of a shock. >> bit of a shock. >> yes. we just can't believe that someone so important has turned up to the west midlands to see, you know, 1200 children. they would never get this opportunity again . and we just a opportunity again. and we just a little bit shell shocked that somebody so famous has turned up today. >> prince william's visits to the west midlands were sparked last october when 12 year old freddie hadley invited him to come and learn about the school's mental health campaign . school's mental health campaign. in freddie's letter was posted on x and to his surprise , on x and to his surprise, william personally tweeted back on world mental health day. he

apologised for not being able to visit , but asked pupils to keep visit, but asked pupils to keep up their important work. visit, but asked pupils to keep up their important work . fast up their important work. fast forward to yesterday and freddie got his wish, sent him walking down. >> i was like, i can, i can not wrap my head around this. it was like a good thing i didn't get told because obviously it wouldn't be such as a big surprise. but when i seen him, i was like, gosh, this is like, like a once in a lifetime chance for sure. >> two pairs of the pair sat down for the all male matrix project, which runs the am i manly enough campaign, tackling the stigma around male mental health, williams said he realised his passions to solve homelessness and addiction were both connected to mental health problems , which is why he's problems, which is why he's committed to solving that too . committed to solving that too. he said boys and men need to talk more about their feelings. >> the suicide rate in young men is just terrifying and i wanted to do something about it. >> the group broadcasts a local radio show with fun segments , radio show with fun segments, which william was all too happy to take part in. i've been asked

to take part in. i've been asked to produce a dad joke, so i'm kind of trying to channel jack whitehall because most of his jokes are pretty dad like knock knock, interrupting cow moo . i knock, interrupting cow moo. i mean, i hear a lot of homophobic i >> -- >> ina >> in a bizarre turn of events, comedian jack whitehall was happy with his royal badge of honoun happy with his royal badge of honour, tweeting, rinsed by the future king, the prince of wales spent time shaking hands with as many pupils as possible before he left . he was impressed by he left. he was impressed by saint michael's whole school approach to mental health. it's understood these pupils are more inclined to open up about their feelings successfully, breaking down stigmas and paving the way for happier and healthier futures. cameron walker, gb news i wonder how many people said, oh, do give our best to catherine. >> i bet everyone did. everybody. but isn't it good to see him in such good spirits? yeah, it is actually good to see him out and about. >> he's got the weight of the world on his shoulders at the

minute, so good on him. >> good job. yeah, it's good to see him now. it's also good to see him now. it's also good to see these two. britain's newsroom is coming up at 930. ben leo and pip tomson are here to tell us all about it. good morning. morning, you two. hi. what's coming up on today's show. >> so of course we're going to be keeping an eye on humza yousaf. the snp, everything that's going on north of the border, the gb news poll as well showing quite staggering, actually showing a boost of support for labour. but some interesting stories elsewhere. captain tom, his house. remember the covid legend who did multiple laps of his house to raise 40 million for charity? his daughter is selling the property £2.25 million, minus the spa pool block that she was forced to rip down because she didn't get consent for it. so yeah , should should she be yeah, should should she be selling the property? >> i guess it's not about that. it's about the suggestion that it's, using his name to sell the property because the brochure explicitly states, you know, one of our greatest memories here is when my father was doing laps of the of the garden. there's photographs of a bust of captain tom in rooms of the house.

>> and i get it. i get how people think it could be a little bit distasteful, but if you're trying to sell a property and that's a selling point, you just would, wouldn't you? >> i just feel a bit sorry for captain tom because he did this really good, authentic, genuine thing. he raised a lot of money, but then they shipped him off to barbados for a holiday, which he enjoyed. but then he. but then that's where he apparently got covid. or around that time and then he passed away. then all then he passed away. then all the controversy with the knoblach. >> nothing that's happened since with his family changes. the fact that what he did, that wonderful, wonderful challenge and raised all that money. >> no, i agree, but it's kind of been muddied a little bit. yeah it has been. >> it has been, yeah, elsewhere, pip, the john lewis stories. yeah. >> this is interesting about people, being ng being told questions before they go for their job questions before they go for theirjob interviews . so they theirjob interviews. so they get that time to prepare because some of us aren't that great at doing face to face interviews and we get a bit overwhelmed. so you might not show yourself at your best. so is it right that that companies start doing this

and they give people full warning of what they're going to ask them? is it fair ? ask them? is it fair? >> it's funny because my instinctive reaction is that that's not right . but actually that's not right. but actually thinking about it, giving pc, you'll have a think about how you'll have a think about how you want to respond. you can still get it. you can still get the right information out of people. you can still see what sort of person they are. even if you've had time to think about it, maybe even more so. >> it's an interesting one. i mean, it's the same old argument about exams and coursework, isn't it? >> yeah, i think it's cheating if you can't handle the pressure and the surprise, get out of the kitchen. >> don't apply for the job. get out. >> depends what sort of job it is. doesn't it really ? yeah, is. doesn't it really? yeah, that sort of thing. >> retail, 1 that sort of thing. >> retail, i guess. >> retail, i guess. >> well, the thing is that some jobs, i think retail is more skills based, funnily enough, isn't it. but there are some situations where you have to think on your feet and you're not going to be tested on that, are you? yeah. >> you've had loads of prep time with retail. it's intuition isn't it. and being helpful. >> yeah, i think being able to talk to people goes a long way. people, someone in the eye picking up a phone, knocking on a door. i've said loads of times

the amount of people we've had on work experience at my old newspaper who have qualifications come out of their ears, degrees everywhere, but they just can't have a conversation. so hello, how are you doing? you know what's going on? >> yeah. you do get a lot of that. >> yeah. you're not. you're not wrong. ben and pip. good to see you. we'll see you at 930. >> now, today is the final day to see how you could get your next holiday on us with your chance to win a luxury greek cruise for 210 grand in cash and a whole load of luxury travel gifts as well. >> yes, it's a prize worth over £20,000 and it could all be yours, so don't miss out. here's all the details you need. >> it's the final day to see how you could win our biggest prize so far, with thanks to variety cruises is a family company sailing since 1942. you have the chance to win a £10,000 seven night small boat cruise for two with flights, meals, excursions and drinks included. your next houday and drinks included. your next holiday could be on us. plus you'll also win £10,000 in tax free cash to make your summer sizzle. and we'll pack you off with these luxury travel gifts. hurry as lines close today for another chance to win a prize

the same school as england football star ella toone. there you go. >> oh fantastic. great to see you this morning, you won't care about the mascot, weird as it is , all that prep. 1 mean, you're only 22. how do you how do you deal with the pressure of being , deal with the pressure of being, you know, really one to watch for team gb, well, i, i was just laughing about the mascot. i haven't actually seen it myself, so that was quite funny, but, i think the pressure is something of the mind . i think the pressure is something of the mind. i think think the pressure is something of the mind . i think the of the mind. i think the olympics for our sport is such a big opportunity. so i'm really excited. like you said, it's just over a hundred days to go. it's going to come so quickly, and i think it's just a really big opportunity to take. so i'm really looking forward to it. >> keely, how do you compartmentalise in your mind? because you've got really busy summer coming up, haven't you? you've got rome in about 50 days time in june, right? so you're trying to defend your title there and then you've also got there and then you've also got the olympics at the end of july to look ahead to. how do you how do you train for both of those things and keep your your head in it all, well, luckily i have

a really great coach that plans everything for me so i can just turn up to training and do my absolute best. but yeah, like i said, i think there's plenty of opportunities there to give us, defending my title, i think is going to be really fun. and my career, i'd like to get as many medals as possible. i said that before, so i just see it as another opportunity to try and do that. >> yeah. i mean, look, it was i mean, the last olympics, 1 think it was a silver you got, wasn't it. you i mean, you've got, you've got to be aiming for gold this time round. i mean to, to have a silver and a gold would be absolutely phenomenal. >> so yeah, it definitely would be. especially i didn't expect my career to go like this so early on. so you have spent the last three years trying my absolute best to make these marginal gains, to hopefully walk away with what will be an olympic dream of minor gold. yeah. >> and what's the training like at the moment, keely? is it really ramping up or do you actually start to rest a little bit more before you enter this? these big competitions runs, the best way i could explain it is

the sessions get a little bit more intense, a little bit faster , but we do knock down how faster, but we do knock down how much we've earned just because of how intense we are running. so just come back from a training camp in south africa for the last month. and that's been really, really hard. so i'm looking forward to getting some racing going now, especially i miss the indoor season. so it's, i'm raring to go for this outdoor season. yeah, yeah . outdoor season. yeah, yeah. >> so it sounds like you've got your head in the right, the right place then, which i guess is a really important part of this . this. >> yeah. i think calm and composure is my best friend at some point. so, yeah, i think that's the best way to go with this, this olympic year. and, hopefully, hopefully we can do a good job. >> well, calm and composed you are. and you're going to do a fantastic job. we are sure we are all behind you, keely hodgkinson, really good to see you this morning. thank you very much indeed. >> thank you for having me. >> thank you for having me. >> oh she's a superstar. she's superstar. >> atherton's a lovely place as well. anyway right. that's it from us. we'll see you tomorrow morning, 6:00. >> a brighter outlook with boxt

scotland and there is a risk of a further frost for saturday morning across the south, though, cloud will continue to thicken as this band of showery rain continues to move northwards. but that will introduce some milder air so it's not going to be quite as cold across southern areas of england and wales through this evening. now it will be a bright but cold start across the north on saturday. the best of sunshine is likely to be in the morning and i think as you head towards the afternoon, cloud will bubble up once again and there's a risk of a few showers. but again, most areas should stay dry. across the midlands, though, cloud will really thicken. it's going to be quite a dull afternoon and temperatures will be suppressed and in the south any brighter spells that develop could pep off a few showers that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sperm answers of weather on
