elizabeth hospital. good morning, jack. nice to see you. what is the mood like down there? have you been talking to both ? have the mood pretty? the both? have the mood pretty? the mood is pretty jubilant in terms of everyone coming together and uniting. that's the main thing that they've been chanting here all about, uniting together as nurses. but the one word that keeps coming up to me when i've been speaking to nurses is retention often. and that kind of into different levels of splits into different levels of splits into different levels of safe staffing levels to make sure wards are properly staffed so patients can receive the so that patients can receive the best care. recall that a lot of nurses here pay is the second thing that they're worried about because main thing they because the main thing that they do is to care for do this for job is to care for people. that's why they get into this profession. pay is the other into other thing and that leads into retention student of just retention of a student of just graduated having pay graduated and having enough pay to pay off their to be able to pay off their student loans but also be able to decent wage while to earn a decent wage while doing this job, also by doing this job, but also by agency and a lot of agency workers and a lot of people saying that you shouldn't necessarily nurses have necessarily nurses that have just in to just graduated. i drove in to work for agencies or nurses

currently the system, going currently in the system, going to because to work for agencies because they better pay than they can get better pay than they can get better pay than they actually working they come from actually working in here this in the nhs. but here this morning were nurses morning there were nurses speaking the striking speaking about why the striking this nurse needs a fantastic career. but anybody who works here will tell ya it's not something we do for pay. it's something we do for pay. it's something we do because we care . but we also need to be paid to do it. yeah absolutely. i mean, any strike in is disruptive, but for us we've got, you know, lives in our hands. so it's a really tough decision for us to make . but we've been forced to make. but we've been forced to make. but we've been forced to make this decision because we're getting no other option. nobody is listening. so we're going to shout until we've heard a lot of support from the public . but i support from the public. but i think a lot of it is just outrageous. people are still on the wards because we do care. there's not a single one of us that would walk off and leave a ward on staff because we care about our staff . but it's about our staff. but it's starting to feel like that's what's going to have to happen

is that we are just going to have to completely walk out at the same time and leave no staff to man the wards and force those able to do the care and do what we have to do daily. so they see what it's like and maybe then we'll get some attention and we'll get some attention and we'll get some support. we'll get some attention and we'll get some support . and so we'll get some support. and so that's what some nurses have been saying here in terms of the element of pay. of course, the contracts are asking the government for 5% above inflation. that's kind of been said that that's not going to happen. of course, we've had a 4% pay rise this year, but the questions about whether the government the government should come to the negotiating course, and negotiating table of course, and negotiate to try and stop negotiate today to try and stop paramedics going on strike to 10,000 nurses strike today, 10,000 nurses on strike today, of 16,000 appointments of course, 16,000 appointments roughly were had a surgeries and all sorts had to be kind of suspended cancelled the suspended and cancelled at the last similar numbers last strike. similar numbers that to today, there that we happened to today, there are protected services, are still protected services, including chemotherapy, emergency services, emergency cancer services, critical care units , etc, that critical care units, etc, that are still going on today. critical care units, etc, that are still going on today . and are still going on today. and they're saying the advice is if

you've an appointment and you've had an appointment and it's been cancelled, it's not yet been cancelled, still go to that appointment. but expect lower staffing but expect a lot lower staffing levels strike. well, nurses levels on strike. well, nurses here okay. thank here are on strike. okay. thank you. jack carson there at queen elizabeth hospital in birmingham. thank you for that update. so joining me now from liverpool intensive liverpool is intensive care nurse kelly hopkins. hello, kelly . thank you forjoining me kelly. thank you for joining me today. so you are striking presumably today, are you ? yes, presumably today, are you? yes, i am. i am striking on thursday as well . but i i am. i am striking on thursday as well. but i was on my day off on my day off today. as well. but i was on my day off on my day off today . right. on my day off today. right. okay. so we've just heard there from from a nurse in birmingham explaining all the difficult conditions, really, that that nurses face every day, that it's not just about pay or that people might might think it is. just let us know from your perspective as an intensive care nurse, what are the challenges that you face so it it it does amount to pay, but the problem is we've got 60,000 vacancies at

the moment . we can't attract new the moment. we can't attract new talent into the profession. i was speaking to a newly qualified nurse on saturday who as newly qualified, she's £65,000 worth in debt. she's earning £27,000. that's before tax, national insurance and pension . and we need a decent pension. and we need a decent pay pension. and we need a decent pay for a decent day's work so that we can fill those vacancies . and then that will stop the short staffing on the wards as a ward nurse, you have the decision . you might have four decision. you might have four patients who are going to fall out of bed. four, you need the toilet. someone who's got difficulty breathing. which patient do you go to first? and this is why care is being affected . and you know , as affected. and you know, as a nurse, i came in because i wanted to hold someone's hand . i wanted to hold someone's hand. i wanted to hold someone's hand. i wanted to hold someone's hand. i wanted to brush their teeth when they were only able to do it. i wanted to make sure that they were comfortable. and you can't split yourself into wards of bonein split yourself into wards of bone in on two nurses, you know , looking after all these

patients who have demands and they need to be looked after and as a nurse, it's sort of difficult decision that you've got to make. and unfortunately, it is patient care that's suffering . what impact has the suffering. what impact has the pandemic had on nurses? kelly because some people are holding up signs today saying, you know, claps, don't don't pay our bills. was there a sense that there was this huge outpouring of appreciation and we've moved on and actually all felt a little bit tokenistic , nick, little bit tokenistic, nick, that you need proper rewards for the time that you put in? i definitely yes. i think , you definitely yes. i think, you know, saying that we were heroes, i walked into that intensive care unit not knowing what i was going to face. and i did it because that was my job. i was more concerned about whether i would bring anything back to my home and to my children. but i went to a kind of looked after those patients , of looked after those patients, not knowing what we were dealing with. that very first wave of covid, you know, we would do in shifts in in ppe that wasn't fit

for purpose. i was coming out of the unit and having to change me scrubs because the uniform, the ppe that they gave us wasn't the right pay. it was plastic eight boiler suits, a you know, look at the government gave ppe contracts to their friends , to contracts to their friends, to their family members . all that their family members. all that money that was wasted . yeah. and money that was wasted. yeah. and yet we couldn't protect them either . and also, of course , either. and also, of course, there was then the pressure on there was then the pressure on the nurses, kelly, to have the covid jabs, whether you'd had covid jabs, whether you'd had covid or not. there was mandates in place. how did that affect the psychology of a lot of the nurses ? a lot of the nurses did nurses? a lot of the nurses did choose to be vaccinated. i personally chose to . not i'd had personally chose to. not i'd had co—pays at waiting covid throughout. i had to keep all these and i took the personal decision not to have that vaccine. i didn't feel that there was enough research around

side effects. i my body had done its job. i was lucky. i had the antibodies and i wasn't really ill from case it and i believe in freedom and choose not have a golden health. so you had to say if you don't get vaccinated, you're going to be sacked. look at all the nursing care home workers that were sacked . and workers that were sacked. and now on the news and the government are saying, oh, there's there to work there's nobody there to work there's nobody there to work there you sat most there yet because you sat most of because they wouldn't of them because they wouldn't take the yeah. and take the vaccine. yeah. and i think that all of that together has led to this kind of perfect storm of dissatisfaction and disempowerment, really , amongst disempowerment, really, amongst nurses, because we told them medical ethics when they said, you've got to take this this drug, whether you want it or not, really. so hundreds of years medical ethics, even years of medical ethics, even even a clinical workplace. even in a clinical workplace. and think this is just and so do you think this is just about now? mean , i know about pay now? i mean, i know you it. a of the nurses you say it. a lot of the nurses are saying it's not about pay, but there's a sense of disgruntled workforce and the pay disgruntled workforce and the pay would act as what a

recognition of what you've been through and do you think the 90% is too much ? we're not asking is too much? we're not asking for 19. this is another misinformation that the government gave it out there. we've asked for 5% above inflation in the last pay rise that they gave me , which i've that they gave me, which i've been waiting nine years for, enabled me to buy one extra loaf of bread for my family a week. thatis of bread for my family a week. that is what that pay rise equated to . and if you think equated to. and if you think that that is a deserved pay rise for the work that we do, then i say to all the people who say, go back to it. easy to be a nurse isn't easy to be a nurse. if it was easy. lots of people who come into the profession, it's a hard job anyway. it's a really hard job. kelly and i think it's one of those might be because it's mainly women, right? that it's not really respect it. i'm just going to put out there accountable. i think if nurses were predominately men, maybe they'd think if nurses were preipaidiately men, maybe they'd think if nurses were preipaid more.men, maybe they'd think if nurses were preipaid more.menitnaybe they'd think if nurses were preipaid more.menit isn'ta they'd get paid more. but it isn't valued, is it ? it

get paid more. but it isn't valued, is it? it isn't get paid more. but it isn't valued, is it ? it isn't valued. valued, is it? it isn't valued. it's hands on hands care. it's a human being caring for another human being caring for another human being caring for another human being . and i think it's human being. and i think it's a terrible indictment actually on our society that we no longer value, that it's not just giving them a packet of pills if caring for somebody and making them well is and it's not just supporting especially in the intensive care unit, it's supporting the families that are going through the most horrendous time that they will have and ever experience. when someone they love is on a ventilator and you don't know whether they're going to survive . you know, when we support the families as well as looking after the patients and i mean the ward staff , they've got lots the ward staff, they've got lots of patients to look after. and like i say , there's only one like i say, there's only one nurse looking after all those patients care is suffering and it doesn't sit right as a nurse that we can't deliver the care that we can't deliver the care that we can't deliver the care that we want. see, for our patients. okay well, thank you for your work from us. it is a valued profession . there is valued profession. there is a conversation to be had that it

needs to be remunerated in in a more significant way to at least attract people to and reward the nurses for the work they do. intensive care there. thank you for joining me. now don't forjoining me. now don't forget, we are running this in our poll. we're asking you whether rishi sunak should find the to pay nurses more, the funds to pay nurses more, even if it isn't that complete. as we just heard from kelly ship, the 90% is a little bit of a kind of red herring. it's obviously they wanted a percentage on top of our significant inflation. you are voting in that poll. i can't see what it is, but i will i will let you know. i think it about 50, just over 50% of you at the moment say that he he shouldn't be finding the money. right. send me as well, send me an email as well, gbviews@gbnews.uk tweet gbviews@gbnews.uk uk or tweet me at news in a few at gb news news. in a few minutes introduce you to my minutes i'll introduce you to my guests for the first time today, getting the getting ready for action on the breakfast bar. we've got author and broadcaster nicol and and broadcaster amy nicol and ukip rebecca ukip deputy leader rebecca jane. don't anywhere .

welcome back. it is 1022. this is beth tenner today on gb news. let me introduce my guests here this morning. i'm delighted to be joined by writer and broadcaster amy nicol, a familiar face to news and familiar face to gb news and deputy leader of ukip , rebecca deputy leader of ukip, rebecca jane. you will also all be very familiar with rebecca wright? let's start with you . all right. let's start with you. all right. we had this news yesterday, broke on air. this is the fact that the supreme court, the high court , sorry, in the uk has said court, sorry, in the uk has said that the rwanda plan can go ahead. it is lawful to relocate individuals to a third country under a bilateral agreement, gives an essential seal of approval of to sonax plants. how

did you create this ? i have no did you create this? i have no time for the rwanda plan, i'm afraid, because it's an absolute past and it's a waste of time. it can only take 200 people. it's going to take months before anything even happens . it won't anything even happens. it won't happen. so the plan is a waste . happen. so the plan is a waste. we need a better proper plan . i we need a better proper plan. i like to think that ukip's got a better, proper plan, but i would say that obviously of course, but essentially, no, i think that the conservative and laboun that the conservative and labour, i don't think either of them have got a good idea between them. what would you do? personally, the problem personally, i think the problem is too so don't is getting too sure. so i don't think be letting think we should be letting people too sure. i think people get too sure. i think that we should be turning them back they get here. back before they get here. i think that we should be heavily investing systems and the investing in our systems and the management behind the infrastructure of it, because that's it that's another way of which it fails. we to stop sending fails. we need to stop sending money france. what on earth money to france. what on earth is about ? money to france. what on earth is about? that's is that all about? that's ridiculous. and so my ridiculous. and so yeah, my biggest of it is stop biggest part of it is stop people getting to school. and would you how would you distinguish, between distinguish, though, between people genuinely people who genuinely need to seek those who are

seek asylum and those who are coming have a better and coming to have a better life and make money? think. right. make money? i think. right. and i for the next five i personally, for the next five years, we just need to stop all of because we can't cope. we of it because we can't cope. we are at the breaking point in every possible of the every possible way of the country. good enough. country. so that's good enough. still got a minute, amy, before you but you've you even start. but you've you've already . you've gone there already. you've also see both sides now, right, amy? so just stop all immigration. right, amy? so just stop all immigration . you mean do you immigration. you mean do you mean legal? i for five years, yes , i absolutely think that we yes, i absolutely think that we should, because i think that we need to get a grip on our country as it is. i think we need a better system, better structures. i think that we need to be looking at the nursing situation and the nhs, our schooling systems and then we need immigration. but need sensible immigration. but all nothing to with all that has nothing to do with immigration. blame immigration. you can't blame immigration. you can't blame immigration on country's immigration on the country's failings , which very much in failings, which is very much in the of government. what the hands of government. what the hands of government. what the responsible the government all responsible for public for the failings of public services, but that's got nothing to do with immigration. if anything, immigrants anything, surely immigrants coming to this country would profit country because they profit the country because they

come in that they generally arrive willing to work arrive much more willing to work . they really use the nhs . they don't really use the nhs much they're generally much because they're generally younger and they put a lot younger and they put in a lot more they take out. and more than they take out. and that's fact. but i do that's just a fact. but i do agree you completely that agree with you completely that this completely this rwanda scheme is completely unworkable and fact that the unworkable and the fact that the concern two party think has passed on is disgusting to me because it's it might be legal now, but that doesn't make it ethical. did you think when priti patel introduced this you had did she know at the time that it would never come to fruition? i think possibly and the joke here is that the biggest joke here is that we've paid rwanda 140 million. and also with these 200 people that are costing 140 million, we are taking 200 rwandan refugees back. yeah. so it kind of balances the books that it also only has 10% of public support. so it's not popular with anyone to stop it. so basically what's going to happen now is we've got this green light in principle yesterday which was taken to court as a judicial review in

the name of eight individuals because has to take a judicial review under the direction of an individual person. you can't just you and i won't just say i'd like you to look into this. so these eight individuals now will appeal . and then if they will appeal. and then if they are found , then they aren't are found, then they aren't successful . then they will have successful. then they will have their own cases heard individually to go through one. i mean, they the notion that this is actually going to happen, it will take months. it will probably take years. nobody will probably take years. nobody will be on a flight before the next election. wrap it next election. so let's wrap it up and again . yeah, up and start again. yeah, because not work, but what because it's not work, but what a of and money. it's a waste of time and money. it's also you agree it's also would you don't agree it's fundamentally such an ugly it's probably one of the ugliest policies i've heard it really shook me when i first saw it. i thought it was parody. also, the way they're saying, suella braverman said it is not a punishment . well, it is not punishment. well, it is not a punishment. well, it is not a punishment. then how is it a deterrent? surely, if it's so fun tastic in rwanda, then more people are going to come over because you get a nice new life in rwanda. it's absolute

nonsense. have a point. is not nonsense. i have a point. is not grounded in reality and i was actually tried in israel. israel tried a similar scheme and most of the people that went around that voluntary though they that was voluntary though they ended just going missing ended up just going missing because they stay where because they didn't stay where they they it doesn't work. they got came back to europe. this got it came back to europe. this is the problem is that when people here, go into people come here, they go into these beautiful foreign star hotels and then they just go missing. but they're not beautiful, are by four and five. no, no, no, no . they're not no, no, no, no. they're not sorry. but they're just so that like a slightly dodgy that's misleading of they're misleading kind of but they're out less than we might out of use less than we might not be. mean, you know, all not be. i mean, you know, all inclusive, free health care. i think it sounds pretty fancy actually to somebody from albania. think sounds albania. so i think it sounds like actually . you're not like prison actually. you're not allowed to work . you're detained allowed to work. you're detained until who knows when. you don't know when your case will be heard. haven't committed heard. you haven't committed a crime here illegally. crime. no one's here illegally. and you're just stuck in limbo in a travelodge . well, life is in a travelodge. well, life is off , obviously in a travelodge. well, life is off, obviously quite appealing to 45,000 people who have made

the journey. and it must be pretty bad where they come from right. let us move on to talk about the right, talking about wasting money , 00p contracts. wasting money, 00p contracts. the government is now suing the pr firm that is linked to baroness mone . they want their baroness mone. they want their 122. we want our baroness mone. they want their 122. we want ou r £122 million 122. we want our £122 million back.i 122. we want our £122 million back. i almost can't look at these stories . rebecca jet these stories. rebecca jet finance costume . so stomach finance costume. so stomach turning that we gave away so much taxpayers money on what appear to be corrupt shake d backdoor deals for paid during the covid pandemic. yes and i'm going to stick my neck on the line and say that i believe that michelle belongs in prison. yeah. what has happened ? this yeah. what has happened? this isn't a civil case. this is silly. and this is for me , one silly. and this is for me, one of the reasons why the house of lords abolishing because it's a false lapsley farce. if people just being able to give to their

pals in fancy titles, fancy jobs fund, simone and she has incredibly profited it and you know and let's not even go into the whole covid in the ppe and actually whether it was even a goodidea actually whether it was even a good idea or not in the first place, this is corruption at the very core of our government and something needs to be done, let alone a civil case trying to get back hundred and 20 million locker up. yeah, totally . and locker up. yeah, totally. and this is the tip of the iceberg because this is one case that was £1 billion worth of these ppe contracts. and then the vip lanes have been deemed absolutely fine to continue to go ahead . so this type of thing go ahead. so this type of thing will continue to repeat this is fraud. this is stealing . this fraud. this is stealing. this shouldn't be done in a civil case. this should be done in a criminal case. i feel like the most insight we've got into what was happening during the pandemic actually is in these matt hancock diaries and the extras that we've seen so far and also in the article that isabel oakeshott wrote, she obviously ghost ghost wrote the

book with him for him and then she wrote a piece in the spectator explaining all the other facts that didn't make it into the book. her perception and was obvious during this and what was obvious during this time that nobody was talking time is that nobody was talking to each other. no department was communicating other. communicating with each other. it of mission creep. it was a kind of mission creep. she said that sort of she said that it just sort of snowballed. i don't know. i mean, so , do we think this mean, if so, do we think this could be incompetence? i think what saying, not what you're saying, it's not incompetence. no. they incompetence. it's no, no. they saw an opportunity and they thought something. thought that was something. this is actually , is fraud. yeah. and actually, what happened when covid hit is the government turned into headless chicken, as we saw it, that they brought in new laws overnight. it literally felt at one point in time, you know, in you know, it got to about eight, 9:00 at night. it also in the past, but lockdown the north past, but lockdown in the north of one too many glasses of you at one too many glasses of you at one too many glasses of is wrong with you? of wine. what is wrong with you? like just like every day like it just felt like every day they were chopping changing. they were chopping and changing. you trained in law you know, i was trained in law school. first that was school. the first thing that was taughtis school. the first thing that was taught is how long it takes laws to and the process and to come in and the process and the that i made and the decision that i made and they threw it all out of the

window because it didn't know what they would and what the heck they would it and they grasp on the they had no grasp on the situation whatsoever. and then fraud and no of fraud unfolded and no way of deaung fraud unfolded and no way of dealing consequences. dealing with the consequences. it so it does feel like that. so sorry, to put it into sorry, just to put it into perspective. so they wasted 37 billion on on track and trace . billion on on track and trace. if we gave everyone in the pubuc if we gave everyone in the public sector to pay demands that they they are looking for it would cost 18 billion. so we can afford to waste 37 billion and not only talk about it and also write off covid fraud, write off these people contracts 1 billion wasted in this and yet we can't afford to pay our workers. it doesn't really make much sense to me. it doesn't and it doesn't anybody is it doesn't feel like anybody is asking right questions of asking the right questions of the sunak when anybody the rishi sunak when anybody journalist him in of journalist gets him in front of them, not asking these them, they're not asking these questions. at all. questions. oh, not at all. pacing altogether. you guys do you ask the right you guys ask the right questions. the difference is, is that, you know, let's sit in front of the table because of the mainstream media agenda. it feel that. and feel like that. right. and a tory core. i think it's good that and rebecca completely that me and rebecca completely agree on this. you wouldn't

whole would. but absolutely. and you what it would be if you know what it would be if i could sort of i this could sort of i can ask this could sort of i can ask this could be a vote winner for them. that's what hasn't done that's what it hasn't done right. ladies, thank you. we will doing a little more will be doing a little bit more after i'm going to be after the break. i'm going to be delving of carbon delving into the world of carbon credits. european union credits. the european union announced that credits. the european union annoucitizen that credits. the european union annoucitizen will that credits. the european union annoucitizen will have that credits. the european union annoucitizen will have to that credits. the european union annoucitizen will have to start every citizen will have to start paying every citizen will have to start paying for their carbon emissions in effort to cut emissions in an effort to cut emissions in an effort to cut emissions by 55% by 2030. is this the first step of a personal carpet carbon credits list ? it's how have to say that list? it's how have to say that when the news is finished . when the news is finished. a very good morning. 10:32 am. rosie wright let's get you up to date. thousands of nurses are striking for the second time in under a week. staff in england, northern ireland and wales have walked off the job in a dispute over pay and conditions. the royal college nursing has royal college of nursing has warned action could for warned the action could go for on months unless an on six months unless an agreement be reached. the agreement can be reached. the unions for a 5%

welcome back, bev turner. today on gb news. now this weekend, the eu agreed on a carbon market overhaul in a bid to hit the

2030 climate goals aims to reform the eu's emissions trading scheme , the biggest trading scheme, the biggest carbon market in the world ever . citizen will have to start paying . citizen will have to start paying for their carbon emissions in an effort to cut them by 55% by 2030. so is this a first step to a carbon credit system ? you might be thinking, system? you might be thinking, what on earth is she talking about? but i do think this is going to be one of the most important issues in our future in the next 50 years. a professor at john grant is a senior lecturer in sustainable construction and climate change. he joins me now. construction and climate change. he joins me now . very good he joins me now. very good morning to you , john. can you morning to you, john. can you just explain to our listeners what a carbon social credit system looks like ? well, it's an system looks like? well, it's an amount of carbon that you can you can emit. so at the moment, the credits are given and time we're going to see that reduced until eventually you're going to have to pay the a an amount of

money that is similar to the amount of that that carbon is going to put into the into the cost to the environment . and cost to the environment. and this this process here that europe is doing is following the scientific sort of but kind of what it's proved that that we to by 2025 kind of cap max out and how much carbon we're emitting by 2030 we should be looking at halving our carbon emissions. this is going some way to that by cutting hopefully by about 55% that that carbon . so at the 55% that that carbon. so at the moment that they in the eu there are businesses that have to apply are businesses that have to apply to this this scheme . it's apply to this this scheme. it's complicated you could see that we're both sort of struggling to find the language. now, what happens when something new comes onto into our world, particularly in such a significant way, it's hard to find the words to explain what

it means, doesn't it? so just explain to me, if you will, on a very basic level, if you're subjected to this and i don't use that phrase lightly, john, if you're subjected to this, what might it mean for your life, your everyday living? well, hopefully it means that you'll be more efficient to meet these terms , that if you just these terms, that if you just try a business as usual and try and pay off, well, that's going to be expensive . but the good to be expensive. but the good news is that when a company and it's been shown for many years now, when a company really embraces this and sees it as an opportunity for the future, the way that they meet these carbon reductions is by improving efficiency. and often becoming more profitable. so you know, the companies that refuse to change their the ones that sort of get get get kind of punished. it should be noted that, you know when we're dealing with people as a whole, you know , it people as a whole, you know, it isn't the low paid workers that

produce huge amounts of carbon. you know, our top 10% wealthiest people in the produce, about half the emissions in in the uk. and so, you know , when you're and so, you know, when you're looking at capping the amount of carbon that people emit, it's those people that are probably going to be concerned . and from going to be concerned. and from my point of view, honestly, i think, you know, just because you're wealthy, it shouldn't give you a right to pollute our planet if i've understood this correctly and as you say , these correctly and as you say, these sorts of ideas are not introduced we don't have this here yet in the uk, it's obviously creeping in. well racing and quite quickly really overin racing and quite quickly really over in the eu , it doesn't over in the eu, it doesn't necessarily mean though, john, does it, that the rich will have to change their behaviour because what is highly likely is that the rich will somehow be able to pay off the government in order to buy more carbon credit . isn't it the poor who credit. isn't it the poor who will find themselves not able to

take a when i say the poor, i mean we normal people are to take a flight to spain once a yeah take a flight to spain once a year. we'll go and visit the family in greece. you know, i mean, that's that's how it's going to affect us, isn't it? well, it could . there's no doubt well, it could. there's no doubt that wealthy people have got some some very clever men and women working for them. and which is why from my point of view, and i know this sounds quite extreme, but i think there needs to be a rationing of how much carbon is it shouldn't be on how wealthy you are because like you said, you just buy it. but if everyone is actually a certain amount of carbon and then you if you don't use it, maybe you could sell what then the people that aren't using the carbon could actually be beneficial , but this carbon could actually be beneficial, but this is the only fair way . you're right. fair way. you're right. otherwise wealthy people are just going to get on their private planes and do what they do. yeah. and i can't deny that's that really . i mean, that that's that really. i mean, that really makes me quite angry. yeah. good. me too, john. it

makes me really, really angry . makes me really, really angry. to be honest, the whole thing makes me quite angry. why do we require an emergency ? so. so we require an emergency? so. so we do need to reduce carbon. we can't do a business as usual. and just because this is really hard and it is really hard doesn't give us the sort of the gap closed that we shouldn't change because you know my kids are going to struggle if we don't pull back the amount . don't pull back the amount. don't we don't don't we need don't we need some carbon in the atmosphere don't we in carbon. how much of the percentage of our atmosphere is actually carbon. well about zero. 3. yeah 0.3. this is really it's a really tiny amount . and do we really tiny amount. and do we know how much of that is. definitely generated by man, by manmade behaviour. the proportion isn't isn't the figure it's again it's probably only a small percentage but what it is that that is more than the natural amount a bit like a bathtub filling up. it doesn't matter if it's just a drip

adding to it. it is not drip thatis adding to it. it is not drip that is going to overflow the system and it's our addition to the natural systems that is causing these problems. i mean , causing these problems. i mean, 40 degrees is 20 degrees warmer outside than it was four days ago. and in, you know, just outside my office that yeah, that's not normal. this is this is a very this is a very uncomfortable truth that we have to kind of face and try and manage and the businesses usual opfion manage and the businesses usual option is going to be catastrophic. this is a real emergent here. we have to do too much. okay thank you, john. i'd love to talk to you again. i love to talk to you again. i love your enthusiasm and your passion for that topic. professor john grant is passion for that topic. professorjohn grant is a senior lecturer in sustainable construction and climate change . rebecca i didn't even have to look at you during that interview . i could sense your interview. i could sense your body in body language. we're in a climate emergency. you're going to drive less, consume to have to drive less, consume less, heating and less, turn down your heating and never not in a never fly. we're not in a climate change climate emergency . happening. . it's not happening. it's absolute . and the problem is

absolute. and the problem is when hear stuff like that, when we hear stuff like that, it's making things worse . scott it's making things worse. scott stop to stop this taxing stop has to stop this taxing scheme . the problem, you're scheme. the problem, you're absolutely correct . the wealthy absolutely correct. the wealthy will not be impacted . so he's will not be impacted. so he's literally just sat there and said to us that the wealthy closing away schools thing this issue and they will find a way to get the hard working person will get penalised, whereas apparently and also man made no , the studies that i have seen that actually climate change is not mainly due to manmade. he couldn't even the question i've definitely don't agree with that i didn't think that but but i don't agree with him either because people will buy carbon offsets. so even though you get an allotted amount of carbon, if they pay for carbon offsets and they're clean as a whistle, they can go about. and that's what people gates currently do. people like gates currently do. so will definitely divide and so it will definitely divide and i think penalise people with less businesses with less less money, businesses with less money. don't think the money. so i don't think it's the right to come out working

right way to come out working people more in an absolute state of a country right now. well, let's make it harder for the 99, whilst once again we try to make it easier on the 1. this has got to stop. there's no emergency i mean, there is an objective. there is no there's no shaving. that's not an emergency. you know, it is an emergency. the emergencies we've got to talk about aladdin. go talk to my about aladdin. go, go talk to my feet . come down to our oriental feet. come down to our oriental town has been condemned as being too white. go for it, rebecca. oh, bless them. less than in some ways. i agree with this. i think that there should have been a bit more consideration. i'm for diversity. i really do. and however obviously does buy into the woke agenda quite a bit that we're allowed to do these things . my concern that we're allowed to do these things. my concern is, is that the in five years time it'll be wrong to have a white centre. that's kind of my concern with where these kinds of stories go. but i do think that they should have been a little bit more

considerate. go on in the uk pantomime association has also condemned production. you condemned the production. you have common have something in common with the pantomime who the uk pantomime association who are i mean, no, i mean, this isn't a new story. aladdin has been considered problematic for a long time because it is riddled with racial stereotypes . and if you look at the heroes of the piece they anglicised, the main character in the disney version was based on tom cruise. the only people have a more accurate representation are the villains . so it is widely villains. so it is widely regarded as culturally insensitive . and every year we insensitive. and every year we have this conversation about aladdin and i know this is about specific production , but i specific production, but i actually think there are enough stories , pantomime narratives stories, pantomime narratives that we don't need to keep going over the same old ones . so let's over the same old ones. so let's just drop aladdin now. it's had its time. we can see why it's problematic . eric even disney problematic. eric even disney have to change a lot of the words in the songs. i mean, i'm

not all right with that. i think why we don't need to be sentimental about these that if we look at it with the 2022 eyes it's not it is outdated and it does offend a lot of people. i don't think i'm familiar with with aladdin as a story to know whether it does have a i mean it has a flying carpet that's kind of rub the lamp and then of and you rub the lamp and then the genie appear it's the genie appear and it's a beautiful location. and aladdin and love and to and jasmine fall in love and to the end that's a violet that isn't a wish. it was that. but unfortunately , think about sort unfortunately, think about sort of in love and that's of falling in love and that's the which brings nicely the end. which brings us nicely on and meghan on prince harry and meghan markle, the real princess . so markle, the real princess. so we've had the docu series netflix. his book is about to come out and now harry is doing an interview with itv journalists tom bradby in order to promote the book . you know to promote the book. you know what, rebecca, for a couple that really just want their privacy, they're doing a really good job of not getting it. they this is the pr campaign that the biggest pr campaign that i think that we've seen this

century potentially for the couple that wanted to go away to america and live a lovely, happy ever got your ever afterlife. you've got your lovely whoever ever up and to a couple of words i thought your lovely happily ever after life you living in your multimillion pound mansion . you've told your pound mansion. you've told your story on netflix . i really think story on netflix. i really think that six episode ads on netflix could have spent for far could have been spent for far better reasons of better causes than their narcissistic trail of a love story . you love stories. a love story. you love stories. great knock the rest of it off the bottle and do a pantomime about harry and meghan's love story. nobody will pay. i'm sure somebody will it, but i don't somebody will be it, but i don't know what else there is to say about that, amy. i don't know what else he could possibly put in this that we haven't in this book that we haven't seen in the 6 hours of netflix. i mean, i'm kind of getting to the point where i think if you like them, read it. if you don't put it down, but i will always say that prince harry has done great things for mental health and getting awareness . and i and getting awareness. and i remember he talked a lot about

some of the therapies he'd had and people hadn't really heard about that in the mainstream before. so i think he does more well. i know he does more good than harm. controversy shows that maybe in the current crisis of the monarchy, when we talk about bombshells, did you actually find bombshells actually find any bombshells in that? not enough not that? netflix not enough not nearly say what the bombshell nearly to say what the bombshell was for me is that neither of them posh enough the them were posh enough for the royal they just couldn't royal family. they just couldn't buy ridiculous buy into the ridiculous in itself. think they were itself. i think they were ostracised family ostracised by the royal family and they probably were and i think they probably were a little bit not because of the race, because didn't race, but because they didn't they're posh. i just, you they're not posh. i just, you know, i don't think they know, i just don't think they like and i think like to. and also also i think she just was so totally naive. she was completely ill advised. she was completely ill advised. she didn't enough people she didn't have enough people around explain is around her to explain this is how america. and how it works in america. and i think the bombshell quite think the bombshell was quite how by money. how motivated they are by money. now, might make as now, that might make me sound as naive as meghan markle, but the fact that they sat that poor fact that they sat on that poor side tyler perry, the actor, side of tyler perry, the actor, and, yeah, this and, and harry said, yeah, this could be us, as opposed to could all be us, as opposed to the, little cottage they the, the little cottage they were living in kensington

were living in in kensington palace. it's like, okay, you're showing us actually what you are motivated motivated motivated by their. motivated and they were and then how pleased they were when a text from beyonce when she got a text from beyonce said would. you be said, yes, you would. you be harry. how can you be impressed by beyonce? say, i know. yeah that's kind of the things that i would just say. you really do see in this cottage and it's like that's a beautiful little cottage expensive , but cottage and very expensive, but not what you would expect a prince to live in. but i think that's only the point that we're making of. it has been making a lot of. it has been wilfully misinterpreted in most aggressive, horrible way possible i think a lot of possible when i think a lot of it was quite innocent maybe right. she saw waded into the right. we she saw waded into the gary neville story we spoke about this it moved on a chapter gary neville was doing the football commentary at the end of the world cup final and he launched into this attack on the british government and said that they would demonise the nurses, demonising ambulance workers. rishi sunak is now said that he's got to stick to football or is criticised. the pundit for arguing that people should detest low pay and poor working

conditions . is it that conditions. is it right that rishi sunak made a statement about this? do think ? about this? do you think? rebecca bit , yes, rebecca a little bit, yes, because gary neville nobody needs to hear your multimillion pound opinions on this. needs to hear your multimillion pound opinions on this . i don't pound opinions on this. i don't understand what place he thinks that he's got in politics. you're a football pundit. sit there, talk about football, leave it to everybody else , leave it to everybody else, because he's he's just he's getting involved in things that just don't concern him . and he's just don't concern him. and he's got no i mean, she says they they robbed seats. i haven't yet but i'm thinking but but you know what okay so here's my base my feelings. you were you were psychotherapist, you were a writer. you working in the writer. you were working in the media. been driven to media. you've been driven to action things that you action by the things that you believe in to go work with ukip. how is different? maybe how is he any different? maybe he's that transition he's just making that transition . and look at the last footballer who we went on just. you stick to football with marcus rashford and he luckily didn't stick to football and made real changes which a politician now hadn't and wouldn't have done . so i think wouldn't have done. so i think gary neville has. i thought his

name when gary neville has got a point. the uk government currently demonising striking workers and i think rishi sunak is probably very aware of that. so the fastest thing he can do is say stick to football . is say stick to football. however, i don't agree with rebecca's point that people with vast wealth shouldn't or can't care about those without. i hate that i don't really care. i don't think i think he does . he don't think i think he does. he sat there. look how well cope being paid multimillion pounds to be there and then saying that we should be talking about poor working conditions. you're part of problem but wouldn't it of the problem but wouldn't it be easier for him to not say anything? think he'd be anything? well, i think he'd be wrong. i guess that question wrong. i guess that the question is, the right place to is, was it the right place to say being paid by say it when he's being paid by itv? obviously knew got itv? he obviously knew he's got the audience that he was the biggest audience that he was going to have in a very, very long time. well, exactly. took his i know our his moment to say it. i know our viewers like it. we did viewers didn't like it. we did a poll and i think that's and i think that's when he think that's exactly when he should it, when he's the should say it, when he's got the biggest platform and the biggest audience possible. but although

it for to take it is difficult for him to take a moral high ground, he could come if really wanted to come off if he really wanted to make a change, a work, a difference. marcus rashford did it in a different way. if gary neville wants to really make a change, done is change, he should have done is he have come off that he he should have come off that he should probably turned down should have probably turned down his qatar should have probably turned down his cup, qatar should have probably turned down his cup, that qatar should have probably turned down his cup, that is qatar should have probably turned down his cup, that is a qatar should have probably turned down his cup, that is a point. r should have probably turned down his cup, that is a point. then world cup, that is a point. then he have come out said he should have come out and said all that he's got to all the things that he's got to say if he really wants to make a difference. he also himself is city football club, i think now as of course. and as well of course. and that takes of money pit, takes a bit of a money pit, i imagine. and he might say and i'm playing i'm just playing devil's advocate say, advocate here. he might say, well, need make my money so well, i need to make my money so that pay my workers at that i can pay my workers at salford better that salford city better so that i don't i'm know. i can don't i'm not, you know. i can make in my own right as make my money in my own right as an that can plough an individual that can plough some into my some money back into my business. just putting business. i'm just just putting it mean, what he it out there. i mean, what he said the uk government said is true. the uk government have systemically have said systemically demonising have said systemically demonworkers month. health workers all month. i think can. i agree with think they can. i agree with that strange word. they might not been rewarding, not have been rewarding, but they christmas. they said they stole christmas. they put lives risk. all they put lives at risk. i'm all right right right with that. i'm all right with the people people are with the people that people are going because of

going to die because of what they're i'm right they're doing. i'm all right with government. stops with the government. it stops with the government. it stops with they they with the government. they they need negotiate. they to need to negotiate. they need to sit table. all sit around the table. the all the that the rail the people that the rail workers, the ambulance workers, they is that workers, the ambulance workers, they to is that workers, the ambulance workers, they to be is that workers, the ambulance workers, they to be affecteds that workers, the ambulance workers, they to be affected going back going to be affected going back on and focussed ? i will be right on and focussed? i will be right back with more off the weather . back with more off the weather. hello there. welcome to a weather update i'm planning to see and improving picture today with some sunshine through the afternoon although still squally showers across the north as well as the west. here's your bigger picture. you can see this area of pressure across the of low pressure across the north—west of the country . north—west of the country. that's stay with us for that's going to stay with us for the few days. delivering the next few days. delivering showers on of rain from showers on spells of rain from time time . however, through showers on spells of rain from time afternoon however, through showers on spells of rain from time afternoon ,iowever, through showers on spells of rain from time afternoon , bright r, through showers on spells of rain from time afternoon , bright with ough showers on spells of rain from timeafternoon , bright with some this afternoon, bright with some sunshine across and wales, breezy across the northern and western portion of wales where western portion of wales where we could see a few showers running frequent showers running in and frequent showers across scotland and northern ireland, towards the ireland, certainly towards the west. see some wet weather west. we'll see some wet weather here the highest ground here and over the highest ground , some wintry ness, but for much of eastern scotland , we'll see

it's given anything that he said to date , that it's likely he's to date, that it's likely he's going to dig his heel in over these strikes . last couple of these strikes. last couple of minutes, we've got a new round of strikes by rail workers . 50 of strikes by rail workers. 50 different companies are all walking out on the 5th of january. it is clear we are frankly in a very deep dive of industrial action . so my point industrial action. so my point is the winter of discontent . is the winter of discontent. we've got nurses out on strike today. powermat kicks tomorrow . today. powermat kicks tomorrow. we're looking at border force guards going out over christmas in the new year , which will in the new year, which will almost certainly likely cause disruptions to people flying to and from for christmas the new yeah and from for christmas the new year. and it goes on and on. and there is no end in sight, all of this. so it's maybe no surprise that it was discussed in cabinet this morning. it will be, as you say, brought in front of the say, brought up in front of the liaison committee later liaison committee a little later on today. now the on today. now that's the committee of the of the committee made up of the of the very within very select committees within parliament, 14 of them, they've got 90 minutes with the pm, a little later, though they do

tend run on a little bit tend to run on a little bit these things. this is essentially the last day of parliament, way, before parliament, by the way, before breaks christmas breaks up for the christmas break. i think what you're seeing , you when it break. i think what you're seeing, you when it comes seeing, you know, when it comes to pay in particular to nurses pay in particular has insisted he's prepared to talk about pay itself. he's happy to talk about working conditions, what can do around the what more they can do around the edges not prepared to edges. but he's not prepared to talk pay he that talk about pay. he insists that the committed the government has committed itself to the independent pay bodies , a kind solution to bodies, a kind of solution to all of this, and that, frankly , all of this, and that, frankly, if they were to cave in and give more money to nurses, it would help the inflation crisis help fuel the inflation crisis that the country faces. what makes things worse now, it must be said, actually lots of experts think that actually pubuc experts think that actually public big employer public pay isn't a big employer runs on inflation, but at the moment the prime minister is not moving . and some of those moving. and some of those conservative mp are slightly concerned all of this, not least of because politically it of all, because politically it seems when comes to seems at least when it comes to nurses paramedics , the nurses and paramedics, the pubuc nurses and paramedics, the public on the side the public are on the side of the unions some of unions and indeed with some of the other strike action the the other strike action in the same with the same place and not with the government. also there's

government. but also there's just by the impact this just concern by the impact this is frankly going have lots is frankly going to have on lots of health in the coming of people's health in the coming days. when is this? this morning not able to guarantee, for example you know, people example you know, that people who've had strokes, a heart attacks down stairs attacks or a fallen down stairs are going the care , are going to get the care, attention and the emergency services that they frankly would need within the space of time and that the government has set down with targets , for example. down with targets, for example. and so we could see people needlessly die or end up in much worse conditions this week because of that strike action . because of that strike action. as i say, there is concern within the conservative that actually in the it will be the government that gets the blame for and not the unions , for this and not the unions, least of all. because, you know, for of nurses worked for a lot of nurses worked through the didn't through the pandemic, didn't they ? and there is a sense that they? and there is a sense that maybe they do deserve a pay rise or that they're only taking this action because they feel it's absolutely necessary. let's talk about andrew bridgen. this is news that has literally broken in the last 10 minutes or so.

darren what's happened to him? he's the mp for north west leicestershire. he's been a very vocal critic of the vaccine rollout programme in the last week and he's suspended for five days. all those two issues connected there? no, because this dates back actually to a couple of months ago . so in the couple of months ago. so in the sense that the house of commons had ruled against it and when it comes to paid advocacy, lobbying , if you like, for example, are not properly declaring it, he had launched an appeal against that suspension for five days. and as you said in the last couple of it's been couple of minutes, it's been confirmed lost that confirmed he has lost that appeal. commons authorities appeal. the commons authorities convinced that he didn't break these rules at the time. it was said by the committee that he took a very cavalier attitude to the rules , that he breached them the rules, that he breached them on multiple occasions and in multiple ways and the standards . catherine stone described it as an unacceptable attack upon the integrity of parliament. so, as you say, he's been suspended

or will be suspended five days. in addition, two of those days will be for three breaches of the code. so you know, at the end of the day, he will continue to an mp. i'm sure he's not going to resign over all of this. and but is a reminder this. and but it is a reminder the parliament and paid advocacy and lobbying , you know, is and lobbying, you know, is a real issue of concern. it's about, people are about, you know, people are asking in parliament asking questions in parliament and asking ministers and lobbying a member of lobbying ministers a member of parliament. the big question is , you know, what is the reason behind that? it in not behind that? and it seems in not being and transparent. andrew bridgen has fallen foul of the rules. he got a little controversy around at the moment. he he did a speech to the house of commons six or seven days ago where he wanted to raise awareness of vaccine into covid vaccine injury, harms . and he he had to give that speech to completely empty house. there was about six or so mps in and then yesterday he was saying that in 2020 he was told by pfizer that they intended to

give people boosters every three months. and there's a lot of questions. but i think what you're saying is very important to point out that what he's been suspended for now is not related to these, even though there might be some people that require testing. he's not require blood testing. he's not in week so . in the for house week or so. what? what, what else do we think rishi sunak is going to have to deal with this afternoon? darren how do you think he'll do, by the way, this is the first time that we're seeing these seeing him in under these situations. quite slick situations. he's quite a slick character, he not? i mean, in character, is he not? i mean, in terms of his his perform months and how he will come across today , do think he'll be today, do you think he'll be convincing what's going to be really interesting ? watch as you really interesting? watch as you say, he is or has not this before and it is in many ways more intense the scrutiny then you get at prime minister's question time because he's there for a long time , i should say, for a long time, i should say, at least 90 minutes. they can properly go into issues and repeatedly question them. and it will be, of course, some

conservative mps. there'll be labour and opposition there labour and opposition mps there as well . and is it going to be as well. and is it going to be dramatic probably as boris johnson's last one, which was the last liaison committee? let's just have a face one six months ago when had months ago when he had a resigned the next day when it looked literally looked like literally his government was apart, when it was that committee, even was during that committee, even though he providing most though he was providing the most anodyne answers about slightly old at the time, i don't old topics at the time, i don't think going to quite the kind think going to be quite the kind of popcorn committee that we had back then. it will feel very much an end of term, i much like an end of term, i think committee meeting. what else strikes. else will be aside from strikes. yes, there'll be focus yes, of course there'll be focus on economy and we're almost on the economy and we're almost certainly i in recession certainly i think in recession at the moment. you know what is the plan growth the government plan get growth back economy also back into the economy also the war ukraine will feature war in ukraine will feature quite heavily . there had been quite heavily. there had been reports over the weekend that rishi was going to carry rishi sunak was going to carry out like a review of what britain had contributed the britain had contributed over the last year or so to ukraine and whether this going forward would be done on a on kind of basis of, well, what are we getting out of it, is it effective? is

it working now downing street are trying insist this is not a sense that britain any way stepping its stepping back from its commitments though stepping back from its comnisnents though stepping back from its comnis concern though stepping back from its comnis concern in though stepping back from its comnis concern in some though there is concern in some quarters that the quarters that could be the ultimate consequence of this rishi sunak in the baltics yesterday insisting the uk is committed to all of this. but there is a sense that britain wants to step back a little bit and look at what its contribution to ukraine was. so they'll definitely questions on that may as that and that may well be as always are, you end of always are, you know, end of term questions . always are, you know, end of term questions. say is the term questions. i say it is the end the year. not doing end of the year. he's not doing the that might be the job very long. that might be a field so definitely a bit left field so definitely worth as say, worth watching. but as i say, there is sense that rishi there is a sense that rishi sunak a lot of lots sunak is fighting a lot of lots of different levels. the political stability at westminster , well it's a lot westminster, well it's a lot more stable than it's been for the 3 to months. but the last 3 to 6 months. but that's a low ball. beth i that's a pretty low ball. beth i would darren would say thank you. darren darren mccaffrey the at westminster know that will let us on this us know rishi sunak gets on this afternoon you've been getting it talked me about the nurses talked to me about the nurses strikes says with strikes david says i'm sat with my a nurse she does a my partner is a nurse she does a 12 hour shift has to sit 12 hour night shift has to sit on a school dining chair for an

hour her no canteen hour for her bright no canteen of night she comes of facilities at night she comes home broken and stephen has said ihave home broken and stephen has said i have no nurses should not get anywhere near 90% 33 to 35 ground is a good wage. thousands of other workers get nowhere near that . most nurses work in near that. most nurses work in ordinary world wards. not all work on a and a. and john says, well, at least the nurses are having a good laugh on the picket line. it's a shame the patients them. patients are suffering of them. the selfish and we have got a twitter poll on this, so please let what you should let me know what you should rishi find the funds to rishi sunak find the funds to pay rishi sunak find the funds to pay more . cast your vote pay nurses more. cast your vote now marginally. 54% of you say that no should not find the money for them so of break i'm going to be back with my guests in just a moment. discuss the top stories of the day. amber heard settling defamation case with johnny depp . do you with johnny depp. do you remember that? lots to discuss. all after the weather .

very warm. welcome back. this is about tennis on gb news. it is 1120. my guests are still here this morning. i'm delighted. joined by writer and broadcaster amy nicole and deputy leader of ukip, rebecca jane . now amy ukip, rebecca jane. now amy troops cannot treat patients or use blue lights during industrial action when they're covering for ambulances . what? covering for ambulances. what? well, of course they call on the soldiers, but it's very important that the ambulance workers should not be feeling guilty about this news. the government should be failing because the point is that these strikes could have been prevented. so something very similar happened in 1989 and a deal was met because they gave in to public pressure. and i think the public are on the side of the ambulance and the nhs staff of the strikers. in this

instance , and they gave a 60% instance, and they gave a 60% pay instance, and they gave a 60% pay rise and a winter bonus lot of people at the moment are pushing should they get this big increase? well maybe they would settle on something slightly less and have something to less and then have something to get through this difficult less and then have something to get as through this difficult less and then have something to get as athrough this difficult less and then have something to get as a bonus,i this difficult less and then have something to get as a bonus, asis difficult less and then have something to get as a bonus, as a difficult less and then have something to get as a bonus, as a one cult less and then have something to get as a bonus, as a one offt time as a bonus, as a one off payment. what do we have this independent board , independent pay review board, though, if to make this though, if not to make this recommendation and then the government upon them? you government to act upon them? you know, we've got independent that decide the emergency decide what the emergency services should be paid and yet they are emergency services just ignonng they are emergency services just ignoring them and saying, well, we more know i want more we want more know i want more because somebody the council please listen to me i would like more but yeah this is the problem and then it's obviously it's the military that get drafted and penalised for this as the people that will as well as the people that will die process. as i keep die in this process. as i keep on saying and it's interesting actually , you said that you actually, you said that you think that the public are on their i think they're on their side, i think they're on their side, i think they're on the side of the nurses, if i'm honest because of the 9% that

they're asking. yeah that is going too. and i think that this is why that the government's negotiating with them and then that poor woman from the rcn national show shows going on. yeah please talk to won't yeah please talk to us. won't you've gone into high , you being you've gone into high, you being realistic and we don't negotiate with terrorists. so get your ideas more realistic and then we may talk. or she is the head of the all of the royal college of nursing people talking about why they're doing it just keep saying told me tony is they won't talk to our and you talk about people are to die because of these strikes people are people are dying already the delays ambulances are delays for ambulances are already incredible highs. if you take month people were take maybe month people were waiting and hours hours. i waiting hours and hours hours. i heard about a man broke his heard about a man who broke his hip on the floor outside hip he was on the floor outside for this is before the for 7 hours. this is before the strike. the strike is necessary so that we can get this industry in a place where it's appealing and you actually retain the staff now attract the you know, we've got a bit of a difference

of opinion on this. so what we share they are wanting more pay for themselves. okay. how do we think that that is going to solve the shortage problem? because the more i got because the more people may come into the more people may come into the industry personally , i think the industry personally, i think that they should be saying, yes rather more pay rather than paying us more pay a realistic amount, maybe 5% more, and then reverse that into getting more people in to actually help shortages. actually help the shortages. you're not going to save lives by paying the people that are already there more i guess already there more. i guess the point scotland , i talked point is in scotland, i talked about and i they came about it and i think they came to i think it was 8% to it roughly. i think it was 8% and didn't go ahead. and the strike didn't go ahead. so that talking, so it shows that talking, negotiating , actually looking negotiating, actually looking at it going 19, that's it rather than going 19, that's not . but at the moment, not tenable. but at the moment, the industry the job is isn't you can't you can't can't go on like this. pat cullen into high with that 90 cent though didn't she and she may but then you know it's indigo station process maybe she expected them to come back 10% you know it's in back with 10% you know it's in line inflation . yeah, but line with inflation. yeah, but for whatever reason, she got it badly wrong. do think

badly wrong. do you think labour plane here as plane with the strikes here as well though rebecca. you know but given that they are such major funders, the unions are such major funders of labour, these strikes make the conservatives look really bad. and keir starmer waiting in the wings to sweep in and the nation. yeah and i the but i do think the tables are turning because it seems so unrealistic and i know were just talking before that i feel like to an extent this is a bit of a privilege for a public sector kind of work because the rest of the private sector don't get the chances to do that. we can't afford be going round demanding 20 pretty much 20% but yeah no i do feel like it is a little bit of a ploy, but i think it's a ploy of a ploy, but i think it's a ploy that's going to well, it will backfire . i think this is will backfire. i think this is only going to be good for labour and i may. yes, because it's highlighted dismal highlighted the absolute dismal state that this the 12 years of tory government has left all our pubuc tory government has left all our public services . yeah, we aren't public services. yeah, we aren't a poor country is plenty of money to go around and i think

people are really seeing how unfairly that wealth is being split distributed that we talk about where that money is and it's at the top i think i'm being honest about the hurt. okay. okay amber heard settles a defamation case with johnny depp, right? this was going on a while ago. so how has moved on? she is an expert in this. while ago. so how has moved on? she is an expert in this . go on, she is an expert in this. go on, rebecca. so because she went appeal rebecca. so because she went appeal, she lost her appeal . and appeal, she lost her appeal. and then they've obviously gone through a negotiation process of how it can actually be settled . how it can actually be settled. what i fun from this what i find fun from this article is the line from heard. now i finally have an opportunity to emancipate myself from something that i attempted to leave over six years ago. no, you didn't . to leave over six years ago. no, you didn't. no, you did not. you have created this. the other thing that i really don't like this is not an active concession to be paying him. 2 million, $2 million. that's the problem you don't get what done. so therefore they shouldn't in negotiation until she actually

realised the error of real ways pay realised the error of real ways pay the 10 million. so this is a point gave she was told to pay 10 million. yeah and they've gone away and negotiated it haven't . they, she's not going haven't. they, she's not going to have to me money. to have to pay me some money. i'm we're at this i'm not if we're clear at this stage going to have stage she is going to have to pay stage she is going to have to pay him all 3 million. 2 million. the thing i think i just i just think every time we talk it puts off talk this subject, it puts off another woman from coming about domestic violence . i think the domestic violence. i think the vilification of her has been despicable . and i know my despicable. and i know my daughter well loaded they need it came out of it. no but i think there's the nuances to the verdict that didn't completely absolve him of any wrong. and rebecca, you know more about this to me . nobody looks good this to me. nobody looks good like barb. it it was a pretty atrocious situation for everybody. that's however, the only person that did damage to domestic violence genuine victims was amber heard herself because the things it just

wasn't true. the things that she wasn't true. the things that she was saying, that's what happened . and yes, she was vilified. but i think that the public sore throat because she deserved be vilified in the end and i say that as somebody that was actually amber heard side in the first trial the uk and. then first trial in the uk and. then when we saw it unfold in the us, not change every not literally change it every day. modern day day. it was like the modern day judge it was amazing judge judy and it was amazing and saw a different side and and i saw a different side and i was like, oh my gosh, feel awful that actually on her side that i actually was on her side because a solitary is just so dangerous, isn't it, to vilify someone with a domestic violence accusation because this was right . this just my continuing right. this just my continuing to i remember what happened last yeah to i remember what happened last year. i've just been handed this story. i can't remember whether he was found guilty or he was so lucky. no, he wasn't. i was i know that he was the problem. so no, he was they were married from 2015 to 2017. yeah. she accused of being a wife beater. he took to court to clear his

name . yes. okay. so commitment . name. yes. okay. so commitment. yeah. and then what happened was he saw the majority of it was found that. yes. no, she was absolutely wrong to make the claims that she did so is what he did . what did she do? she he did. what did she do? she lost it. but then he also lost a slide . that's right. that's slide. that's right. that's about and the other reason why he actually lost the life element was because it wasn't him that made the claim it was that his agent acting on his behalf he should have he may behalf and he should have he may not known, court not have known, but the court said that he should have known what agent was saying on what the agent was saying on his behalf that's why 2 million behalf. and that's why 2 million was against depp was ordered against johnny depp . actually depp was . but actually johnny depp was not specifically found to have done wrongdoing of done any wrongdoing in any of it. but did the two little dogs take in the bed? this is the equivalent so we remember equivalent so we can remember those of data that's just those sorts of data that's just a sort of public bonfire of the vanities is what i remember and i don't i didn't really like it. you would up to a year. yeah i loved it. i had a great time . loved it. i had a great time. and there is something fascinating about it. we just in court cameras, i think, because

we don't have that. yeah, it was yeah. kind of intriguing and you know and it was so outlander and ridiculous over the top of it all of a sudden kate moss gets dragged in that was i wait can is real life unfolding you couldn't actually say said no it was it was crazy than a johnny depp film isn't it now made into a drama. oh i think there's talks of it. oh, no, i think you mean involved. want to go to the cold. okay now, after the break to be joined by actor and angung to be joined by actor and angling activist james murray . angling activist james murray. you might know him from his tv show with robson green. he's going to explain why a salmon stocks in desperate state stocks are in desperate state and what we should look forward to buying our christmas salmon . to buying our christmas salmon. that's all after your morning's news with rosie . a very good news with rosie. a very good morning to you. it's 1130. news with rosie. a very good morning to you. it's1130. i'm rosie, right ? you morning to you. it's1130. i'm rosie, right? you up to date . rosie, right? you up to date. the mp andrew bridgen has told

it's 1135. this is their 10th day on gb news. joining me now is famous actor , james murray. is famous actor, james murray. you might know him from a series of the crown way place a prince andrew, but a big passion of james's is something you may not know about his wild his wild salmon fishing. i didn't that james he's wild for salmon fishing. the loch salmon company is proposing plans to tonnes of

salmon. james, thank you for coming in. famous actor in the crown and other series that we all know you from . a lot of all know you from. a lot of people also know you from the series that you do with robson green. fishing green. yeah the fishing series. robson jim's fly fishing adventures . thank you. i've adventures. thank you. i've watched every single episode you haven't. but is that what you're interested in? in the waterways and what's happening to our fish stocks came from. yeah, yeah mean when when i fell in love mean when i when i fell in love with fly fishing for salmon 15 years ago it became obvious to me very quickly what the big challenges salmon faced as a wild species and it was shocking to me and i thought, what if i didn't know about it? perhaps many others don't. i sort of made it a bit of a life's work to educate and create awareness. wow what do we need to know about ? so i just presume i'm an about? so i just presume i'm an idiot. now, we should also confess that we've known each other for 25 years. so you know that i am an yes, right. that i am an idiot. yes, right. pretending never so what is.

what is wrong with our fish ? what is wrong with our fish? particularly salmon. where have we gone wrong ? well, salmon . we gone wrong? well, salmon. let's start at the beginning . so let's start at the beginning. so since we started taking records proper, records in the seventies, there were 10 million atlantic wild atlantic salmon . atlantic wild atlantic salmon. as a population, there are now only 3 million. wow so that's across the whole of the north atlantic scotland. the rivers up in scotland have lost 70% of their wild stock in the last 20 years. so they're on an acute why well gone. there is some there are several suspects . there are several suspects. obviously, climate change is first and foremost over pollution of the rivers , bad pollution of the rivers, bad regulation , predation from prey regulation, predation from prey and from prey under the water, but also aquaculture, fish farms that the salmon that you in the supermarkets and the fish is predominantly farmed atlantic salmon. right. and there are there is a myriad issues when it comes the sustainability of wild atlantic, farmed atlantic

salmon. right. and the best way to perhaps educate about that is to perhaps educate about that is to visualise how these fish are farms . so if you imagine rows of farms. so if you imagine rows of circular nets beneath the water, which are crammed full of farmed fish , so it's ripe for disease fish, so it's ripe for disease pathogens and parasites so that to be treated obviously the knock on effect on that is huge and animal welfare issues to 5% of all farmed salmon die before they even reach the age of harvest . that's one they even reach the age of harvest. that's one in four. that's just to put that in perspective. that's less than 5% of poultry die. you know, that's their mortality rate. so there's their mortality rate. so there's the there's the animal welfare issue . there's also the issue. there's also the spreading the real problem fish farms have is trying to keep lice under control. the parasites which tend eat fish parasites which tend to eat fish from from the outside in. now that spreads through the net out into the you know, surrounding and these farms in on coastlines

and these farms in on coastlines and in estuaries where the wild start where the wild salmon, the few that are left and the and the sea trout swim past and they get in seconds. then this proliferation of lice , it's proliferation of lice, it's huge.so proliferation of lice, it's huge. so who's job is it to kind of police that is that the environment agency? is it is it you know , why is this being you know, why is this being allowed to happen ? i mean, let's allowed to happen? i mean, let's face it, there's not a lot of awareness about it. there's not awareness about it. there's not a lot of awareness. it should be regulated by government bodies. defra keeper up in scotland, the eia but sadly, as we all know when it comes to the environment the current have the will and energy a stranded jellyfish so it's it needs to be much more heavily regulated but there's too much money swishing around the system for it to be too heavily regulated . these heavily regulated. these companies aquaculture is predominantly owned a very small handful of norwegian billionaires, which shareholders to account for . so there is to account for. so there is

mitigation to stop most of these issues and that is to move the salmon out of open farms and put them in self containment pens , them in self containment pens, which obviously creates a barrier between the fish and their environment that costs . their environment that costs. now, i believe that customer will probably pay the extra to ensure that. the fish they've got on their plate is sustainably sustainably farmed , sustainably sustainably farmed, but they don't want to do that . but they don't want to do that. and if there's awareness of it, i guess so if we are buying up, say, christmas, your salmon smoked salmon is a big part of christmas, right? yeah if we're going the shops to buy, going out the shops to buy, what? what should we look for? how does the produce or how do how does the produce or the manufacturer of that fish, how do they us what we are how do they tell us what we are and are not buying what we look for? well, that's a good question. the the question. obviously the way the only educate only way we can educate ourselves as is to ourselves as a customer is to look at the label of the product . now, we know that, you know with other products, the supermarkets and suppliers who tend cahoots about tend to be in cahoots about their it less their labelling, make it less than opaque a lot of the time. so there's a lot of self—aggrandising labelling as

organic or responsibly organic or or responsibly sourced . pay no attention to sourced. pay no attention to what is a label that self inflicted or self—imposed yeah, go look for a label from a from an independent, go look for a label from a from an independent , regulated, an independent, regulated, regulated the best of which , as regulated the best of which, as far as i'm concerned, is msi, which is a big blue tick on the on the packet. and that stems from marine stewardship council right . and they are an right. and they are an independent body that certifies whether that product is sustainably sourced or not will it be more expensive for people. it might be, but if you you swap out your atlantic farmed atlantic salmon for line caught wild alaskan or sockeye pacific salmon which have own issues but aren't farmed as intensively and aren't farmed as intensively and are more farmed for the most part than their atlantic . then part than their atlantic. then you're going to pay the same price for it for a fish that higher nutritional quality and is much more sustainably

sourced. so it won't say farmed atlantic well it said of course not. it'll say scottish beautiful scottish highlands salmon. so you think, oh, someone's gone out and caught that and prepared it? no it's just comes from a big stew pot of fish in the middle of david. i assume it's been talking about this, i think, hasn't he as well. one the few well. like he's one of the few people been discussing it. people it's been discussing it. have another series of have you got another series of your fishing programme? we do we have a second series coming in the spring where we're up in scotland and wales , england and scotland and wales, england and we're and we're addressing this very issue because we were asked to go and make a fishing show because . the first one achieved. because. the first one achieved. so yeah . really. so yeah. so we so yeah. really. so yeah. so we went back and did a second one for itv and we found very that we weren't catching the fish they expected us to catch maybe just rubbish fishermen. well we are it was are rubbish too but, but it was also to do with, with the state of the rivers and we're not pulling our hair out on the phones the commissioners phones of the commissioners and we it's

we still caught fish. and it's not our fault. so we made it about conservation and the state of rivers as about us being of our rivers as about us being terrible anglers. so notice that difference in that short period of time. oh yeah . graph of time. oh yeah. the graph is acute when comes to salmon. it is tragic that . we'll probably is tragic that. we'll probably lose our in our lose them in our in our children's lifetime. certainly if we do anything it if we don't do anything about it now. okay, one last question. what's the what's it like being on the crown, playing dilemma crown, playing andrew dilemma with that ? easy yes, it with that? easy to take. yes, it was shoo in. no, was. it was a shoo in. no, it was. it was a shoo in. no, it was. it was fun. i mean, we didn't deal with any of the topics that he's so prevalent for in the present moment . it a lot of moment. yeah, it was a lot of fun , great fun on the crown. fun, great fun on the crown. i just think he's coming in. my pleasure. thank you for having right now, 10,000 nhs nurses as we've been talking about, have walked out today for the second time in less than a week in a over our west midlands over pay. our west midlands reporter jack carson has been speaking this in speaking to nurses this in birmingham. let's have a listen to have to say . so to what they have to say. so there's two things here. there's pay there's two things here. there's pay element try and recruit pay element to try and recruit and retain qualified staff only the other day i saw an advert

for an that was offering . 30 and for an that was offering. 30 and £40 an hour and that where nurses are going to because they can go and earn more even if they were to travel for an hour or so to then if they were going to work in the nhs. so we need to work in the nhs. so we need to recruit , retain and we also to recruit, retain and we also need to have succession planning for nurses like myself who have specialist skills because there's no one out there now at there's no one out there now at the moment to replace people who are retired i mean, each and every single person has made a very difficult decision to be out here and we all you know, we all have the worries. are the staffing levels going to be safe today? are people to be getting the care that they need ? but the care that they need? but we've lots of measures in we've put lots of measures in place there are place, ensure that there are safe staffing levels. and i mean the term safe staffing is safe staffing levels. we don't get that on a daily basis generally. so we need to do something and you haven't got the time. and

that's the problem you committed to doing it. your patients and you can't your patients if you've got someone that's end of life you've other life and you've got other patients needs as well, patients who needs help as well, you the sort of you can't give them the sort of care want give them care that you want to give them and go into medicine so and that go into medicine so that actually that you can't actually participate. get participate. so if we can't get pay, participate. so if we can't get pay, what's solution? pay, then what's the solution? getting more people to come in. and just nurses, the and it's not just nurses, the whole on their whole of the nhs that's on their knees at the moment . welcome knees at the moment. welcome back. now i am still by amy nicol and rebecca jane wright. what is so nice is a so this is an article that we're going to discuss now what . does he stand discuss now what. does he stand for rishi sunak? i do think it is quite hard to work out . he is quite hard to work out. he wants to tax us more . it doesn't wants to tax us more. it doesn't appear to be pro—growth. he would that he walks would say that he is. he walks around sites now in around building sites now in hardhats and fluorescent jackets , he's definitely , which means he's definitely stepping role. a stepping into the role. what a proper meant to do. right. proper mp is meant to do. right. but does represent , but what does he represent, rebecca? it represents inauthenticity and absolute nonsense because . he wants to nonsense because. he wants to taxes more. but now, today says he does. he wants the taxes less

. he can't make his mind up his complete, inauthentic and so let me pull out a few bits. yeah. my issue with him is that he's never transparent in the cost of things. fellow he was never transparent with that. he's not being transparent in how much the cost of the ukraine war is. and then we want to talk about obviously rising living costs. how much is all of his little plans actually ? cost is a plans actually? cost is a contribution to that. let's gloss over that forget it. gloss over that and forget it. and of favourite bits is and then of my favourite bits is the first thing i want to deliver is peace of mind. get nhs waiting list down. i know that the nhs is there for you and, your family when you need them. tell that's people that die the next week. i die over the next week. go on. i mean , what do you think mean, what do you think anarchism we had him and we anarchism is? we had him and we had him there enough to had him there long enough to know. we've remember that had him there long enough to kn

vision of the future. i say his vision of the future. i say his vision of the future. i say his vision of the future is probably a labour government. let's be honest. at this point because this is just up so ridiculous. the whole thing . talking about the whole thing. talking about his belief in the nhs at a time when most of the nhs is about to go on strike is laughable. it does seem tone deaf so much at the time , doesn't he? he does the time, doesn't he? he does seem very detached from some reality . i seem very detached from some reality. i think it just seem very detached from some reality . i think it just says reality. i think it just says stuff, says tough stuff and does nothing hotter than the global stage though. that's but that's just does it feel you that just feel that ultimately i've said this before he feels like the ultimate globalist we had a global number ten certainly he's a ten and jeremy hunt in a number ten and jeremy hunt in number did that even number 11. how did that even happen ? where's democracy is happen? where's our democracy is absolutely sabotaged. and of course , very good on the global course, very good on the global stage because the role false. stage because the role is false. and that's exactly why he's very good the stage. but good on the global stage. but the hot air. it's the thing is, hot air. it's like, you know, it feels like liz truss coming back when he's going about he has for going on about he has plans for growth up and tell us growth she up and tell us exactly what you're going to do

his days are numbered so i think that's that's been highlighted how terrible he is a pmqs people are really what a mediocre little man really is. he's got eight months. right. and then we're going to start a six months up to the next election . months up to the next election. john do anything , do you john carney, do anything, do you think, to turn around the place of the conservative party? he certainly try in these and say this is just yet another his this is just yet another of his pr storms . this is just yet another of his pr storms. but it's funny. ambition to transform education to teach at a time when teachers are on the brink and about to strike. yeah again, i know, i know. and already had a pay rise as well . so it's honestly , i as well. so it's honestly, i don't even know. it's a little bit like i feel at the same person is him as who advise bofis person is him as who advise boris you remember those times when he flew cop26 in a private jet from from down south. it feels like whoever advises the conservative government is absolutely bill gates perhaps right . let's move on to early right. let's move on to early retirement , driving inflation

retirement, driving inflation and harming growth says report earlier is stoking inflation and damaging growth while adding pressure to already strained pubuc. pressure to already strained public . this is a report into public. this is a report into britain's missing workers about this is hilarious the government absolutely loves that this is an inquiry by the house of lords so that they can deflect their responsibility and own failings and project them onto people who retired between the ages of 50 and 64 because they wanted a pleasant life and early retirement that is hilarious to me who else can you blame? you tried to blame the immigrants. liz truss and bartley coleman . liz truss and bartley coleman. economy. we blame poor people. we blame anyone but them. anyone. just take the away from brexit. brexit brexit covid part of this report, they say it's possible people got used to different habits and ways of working during the covid 19 pandemic, which prompted to reflect on their careers . i reflect on their careers. i certainly know people did that, particularly working mums

actually that realise they've been running racket ragged for years and suddenly lockdown made them stay at. they weren't running around like they were and they decided a and they decided to get a different work life balance. that's isn't it . yeah. that's all right isn't it. yeah. yeah outside of it. right yes it is. it is . and it is. why do we is. it is. and it is. why do we keep on pinpointing things like really early retirement driving pollution and harming growth? it seem ? i don't think so. i think seem? i don't think so. i think doing that all by themselves totally . i doing that all by themselves totally. i don't doing that all by themselves totally . i don't think that it totally. i don't think that it is people who are retiring, they've actually they've worked hard for a very long time . hard for a very long time. they've been undervalued. they've been undervalued. they've underpaid , they've they've been underpaid, they've been under supported and wooden. yeah. so isn't truly we just saw anarchism surely sunak ism would anarchism surely sunak ism would a world in which you would want people to be able to retire early . what if you really heart early. what if you really heart your whole life? then why not retire at between 50 and 64? that's the main of the trend. why is that not something that like an aspiration do you think that they would be pushing that exactly and these people

probably can retire early because they've all the houses were 50 and 1976 days . i were 50 and 1976 happy days. i think it's unbelievable target for them to try and shift the blame onto early. well it does seem extraordinary that very desperate now if that seems are going for oh well yeah you know the we've used every other trick in the book went let's go in the book i went saw let's go for people that retired too for the people that retired too early and to me sort of people really retiring that which are i feel people are working feel that people are working longer have longer because people have chosen careers chosen to have actual careers rather than jobs . but rather than jobs. but grandparents blast them. i'm i'm 38. remember they 38. i don't remember they retired when i was about to be as old. yeah. and actually one of reasons people of the main reasons that people are work is because of are out of work is because of long illness to the long term illness due to the massive nhs list. yeah. so we kind of talk about it frivolously. oh, they've chose to actually a lot of this to. but actually a lot of this also comes to nhs failings also comes down to nhs failings , which is also at the door of government. very much so. so this, if they look at the house of lords committee, looks 565,000 workers who left the job market since the start of the

pandemic. so they are saying as she was saying, amy that a lot of people are out of work due to long term illness being at a record high again. what did you think was going happen if you think was going to happen if you lock people in the houses closed gyms and coffee shops to eat and we all drank. oh we really trying a permanent trying we were on a permanent houday trying we were on a permanent holiday for. i wasn't. we holiday for. well i wasn't. we only lasted six weeks and only lasted about six weeks and weeks. mental weeks. there was a mental health care board . can i just say this care board. can i just say this so much illness around at the minute and people can't shift. but i've had this ridiculous illness for about two months now and so many people around me have had it. think it's have had it. i think it's because people were because of how people were locked and associating with locked up and associating with each other and all the it each other and all the rest. it that actually made that are actually it's made things lot and longer. things a lot worse and longer. there appears there certainly appears to be some system , but these some immune system, but these are also, you know , routine are also, you know, routine things. waiting for things. people waiting for cataracts appointments, people waiting replacement . waiting for a hip replacement. so more of the so it's kind of more of the mundane waiting list that they just can't seem to cope with because . yeah, there's not because. yeah, there's not enough . there's so many enough staff. there's so many problems. it's really for me, there's a massive striking now.

so unless they get a grip on the workforce and make it make a possibility that we can have a strong workforce and this is going to happen. let me tell you what some of you have been today. this is in relation the nurses strikes. paul said i was on a stroke. ward four weeks ago. they had 15 nurses all a handover meeting for about one and a half hours, sat laughing, shown on their phones very little about patients or their care. see , wondering about care. you see, wondering about doing . and when someone doing nothing. and when someone poses for help, no comes. poses for help, no one comes. you have to ask to and find you have to ask to go and find someone, melania said . nurses someone, melania said. nurses get enough money. most of us don't get . a nurse's wage if don't get. a nurse's wage if they can't live on 30 k plus per year then they should have expenses. year then they should have expenses . just briefly, ladies, expenses. just briefly, ladies, do you think we should a time when i think one of the when nurses. i think one of the worst if nurses was worst things that if nurses was make go in degree level make them go in it degree level you need a degree you do not need a degree in nursing with 50 grand nursing come out with 50 grand of debt you surely should be able to do some sort of conversion . mom a nurse . conversion. my mom was a nurse. she definitely bless her high

mom. she definitely didn't have a degree and she was a fantastic yeah, she's one of the most caring and you know, my mom is obviously this whole obviously all over this whole situation. she doesn't agree with . she that with the strikes. she says that we bring matrons we need to bring back matrons and have more orderly conduct because, well, gentleman says because, well, a gentleman says thatis because, well, a gentleman says that is absolutely true. i think . right. let's see what . right. well, let's see what you we poll you were saying. we had poll running to say running this morning to say should rishi sunak find the funds pay nurses more. over funds to pay nurses more. over 4000 of have responded. 4000 of you have responded. thank very much. and 55% of thank you very much. and 55% of you think no should not find that money. right. we've come to the end of our show. it has blown by again . amy tickell, blown by again. amy tickell, thank you so much . rebecca jane, thank you so much. rebecca jane, appreciate your time on a busy week. we're running up to christmas. probably got those you could have been doing today. coming up next is gb news is life mark longhurst . i am life with mark longhurst. i am bev turner. have a lovely i will see you tomorrow morning at 10:00. and if you've enjoyed what we've done today just tell one friend that's your homework just on gb news just tell mate turn on gb news and are here obviously back

and we are here obviously back tomorrow morning at 10:00. i will see you then . hello there. will see you then. hello there. welcome to weather update. i'm playing the same and improving picture today with some sunshine through the afternoon. although still squally showers across the north as well as the west . north as well as the west. here's your bigger picture. you can see area of low pressure across the northwest of the country. that's going to stay with for next few days with us for the next few days delivering showers , longer delivering showers, longer spells from time , time. spells of rain from time, time. however, afternoon however, through this afternoon bright with some sunshine across . england and wales breezy across the northern and western portion of wales , we could see portion of wales, we could see a few showers running in and frequent showers . scotland and frequent showers. scotland and northern certainly northern ireland certainly towards west. see some towards the west. we'll see some wet here and over the wet weather here and over the highest wintry ness. but highest ground wintry ness. but much of eastern scotland , we'll much of eastern scotland, we'll see some brighter skies through the afternoon . a similar the afternoon. a similar situation further south as temperatures rise very nicely now through the evening and overnight. those showers continue across more northern and western areas with severe
