beginning to start up, with things beginning to were with some comings and goings. and andy murray's first round match at the geneva opens was stopped due to pollen from the trees falling, which he said was like show. >> snow. >> there will be heavy thunderstorms for some of us today. then tomorrow brings the potential for persisting rain. i'll have more details coming up i >> -- >> so it's been described as the day that shamed the nation after decades of failures, mismanagement and cover ups, the prime minister finally apologised over the infected blood scandal, which since the 19805 blood scandal, which since the 1980s has seen 3000 die and 30,000 infected. >> this is a day of shame for the british state. today's report shows a decades long moral failure at the heart of our national life , from the our national life, from the national health service to the civil service to ministers in

successive governments at every level , the people and level, the people and institutions in which we place our trust failed in the most harrowing and devastating way they failed the victims and their families, and they failed this country. >> well, the infected blood inquiry announced by theresa may back in 2017 and beginning in 2018, handed down its final report yesterday, offering a damning indictment of decades of mismanagement. >> well, today the government is set to outline a compensation package to victims, with reports of £10 billion being earmarked . of £10 billion being earmarked. >> well, joining us now is gb news political correspondent, olivia utley , who is live for us olivia utley, who is live for us in westminster. very good morning to you , olivia. and for morning to you, olivia. and for victims of this scandal, they have been waiting years, decades for this report . for this report. >> yes, in some cases, some of these victims have been waiting up to five decades for this report. and it is extremely damning on pretty much every government since the 1970s.

bnan government since the 1970s. brian longstaff, who was the key author of this report, wasn't afraid to name individual ministers who he felt had particularly let down victims, among them ken clarke, the former conservative health minister who held a range of positions in multiple conservative governments and is now, of course, appear , for now, of course, appear, for there are calls for him to lose his peerage over this. tony blair has also singled out for saying in 1999 that although he felt sorry for the victims of the infected blood scandal, he didn't think an inquiry would do any good while the inquiry was done anyway . in the end, under done anyway. in the end, under to theresa may's leadership in 2017 and it has exposed all sorts of failures over a very, very long time period . the prime very long time period. the prime minister, as we heard there, gave a fulsome apology in the house of commons yesterday, which is something that victims have been asking for specifically for a long time. and also we are going to hear today the compensation package

plan , and we're expecting it to plan, and we're expecting it to cost about £10 billion. there's a really interesting interview with jeremy hunt, the chancellor in the sunday times, this week, saying that he he personally has, you know, put together this package with the treasury of £10 billion. and he says he's doing it for a constituent who he spoke to years ago , who was spoke to years ago, who was infected with hiv and hepatitis b and died in 2015. jeremy hunt said that he, as health secretary, should have acted faster. but there were other decisions. other financial priorities at the time, and he didn't. now he's hoping to make up for that with this £10 billion package. should also be said that this £10 billion package probably means that he won't be able to cut taxes again on before the next election, something which he did hint at in his last speech. so we are now expecting there to be no budget before the next election. that gives you a scale of just how an idea of just the scale of this compensation package and

the scale of this scandal. >> there for us live in westminster. thank you very much indeed. >> now, israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu says us has hit back after the international criminal court confirmed that it is seeking an arrest warrant against him for war crimes in gaza. >> he called the move a moral outrage. he also rejected the comparison between israel and hamas . that's as the court also hamas. that's as the court also seeks arrest warrants for top hamas leaders. >> well, let's get some analysis on all of this from doctor chris skudder dyer, founder of the sanctuary foundation. good morning. wonderful to see you. and a really, really big day this yesterday . and you know, we this yesterday. and you know, we don't know quite how this will play don't know quite how this will play out. i think we're being told a couple of months whilst the judges consider or not whether or not they will issue those arrest warrants. but what's your reading of this? i mean, he seems incredibly confident this prosecutor, that he has got the threshold of evidence to proceed with these prosecutions . prosecutions. >> well, the chief prosecutor

has been incredibly brave, but incredibly thorough. he spent four months with a crack team of lawyers, including amal clooney, the noted human rights lawyer and wife of george clooney. she she's been part of his team . and she's been part of his team. and i think it's an important day. martin luther king said that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. and this, prosecutor is an attempt to show that nobody is above the law. every life matters. and whatever the cause of the war, you can still be capable of a war crime . still be capable of a war crime. >> we'll see. these arrest warrants being issued . warrants being issued. >> well, that's a big question. i don't think the prosecutor would have put this case forward without thinking he's got the evidence in place for months, is a long time with the extent of the conflict. even the netanyahu government has admitted there's been 30,000 casualties in this war in the last seven months. and so you can imagine that the

prosecutor wanted to act very quickly. he's a brave man. he's also issued a warrant for vladimir putin. so he's willing to go after whoever it takes to keep justice being served. >> and what do you make of the reaction from the international community? it's been quite different. i think the reaction from from downing street, from from from downing street, from from washington on with, excuse me, i've got a terrible cough. it keeps catching me unexpectedly. but yeah, the rishi sunak had previously expressed deep concern about what had been happening in rafah. but yesterday they said that this icc action was unhelpful in relation to reaching a pause in fighting. but america has gone full square behind israel. quite a different approach between the two. >> it is. >> it is. >> it is. >> i mean, america is not a signatory of the icc , so i guess signatory of the icc, so i guess we shouldn't be surprised that their stance and they have backed israel pretty strongly from the beginning . and again, from the beginning. and again, i think it's important that international justice is upheld, that whoever you are, wherever you are, if you break the law,

you are, if you break the law, you will be sought after. >> what will happen if those arrest warrants are actually issued? what does it mean for those who are charged? we know that hamas leaders spend a lot of time outside of gaza. across the uae , and it does in theory the uae, and it does in theory mean that benjamin netanyahu could be at risk of arrest if he steps into a western country, doesn't it? >> it does. there are 124 signatories of the icc . so if signatories of the icc. so if benjamin netanyahu or the leader of hamas steps into one of these countries, then they are eligible for arrest and it would be wrong for us not to arrest them if they came here, i suppose in all of this, the question is also about the legitimacy of the icc . you know, legitimacy of the icc. you know, if you have america undermining this move or potential move from the icc, you know , is this the icc, you know, is this another international organisation, a bit like the united nations , where people united nations, where people stop taking any notice if these prosecutions aren't carried out ? prosecutions aren't carried out? >> i think it works both ways. if the icc hadn't called both

sides hamas and israel, to account, i think people wouldn't have taken them seriously if they'd remained silent . while so they'd remained silent. while so many civilians are being killed, they would not have been taken seriously. vie i am frustrated that america is not a signatory of the icc. it does undermine its global credibility . but i its global credibility. but i think this prosecutor has been brave and is doing the right thing. lady justice, when she's portrayed in statues , is portrayed in statues, is normally blind, holding the scales of justice. that means we should be not. regarding the countries that are involved , but countries that are involved, but looking at where the crimes are being committed. and that's the most important question. >> and just briefly, before we let you go, what do you think the reaction this will be like inside of israel, the reaction this will be like inside of israel , because this inside of israel, because this warrant would put mr netanyahu in the company of a vladimir putin and the late colonel gaddafi. i know you alluded to that earlier , but that is not that earlier, but that is not attractive company, is it, for benjamin netanyahu ? he prides benjamin netanyahu? he prides himself as a leader of a state that that prides itself on its democracy. >> well, benjamin netanyahu was

a very unpopular leader before the 7th of october dreadful attack, and we've seen pictures from tel aviv with thousands of people on the streets asking for peace, calling for netanyahu to resign. so i think this will add extra weight to the protest movement against his leadership. >> okay. it's always to good talk to you, doctor. krish kandiah, thanks very much for giving us your take on this important story. appreciate it. >> thank you. thank you. >> thank you. thank you. >> now, a 6:10, let's take a look at some other stories coming into the newsroom this morning. >> the prime minister is travelling to vienna today for talks with the australian, austrian chancellor about illegal migration. the pair are expected to agree that designating safe third countries, like rwanda, is a solution to preventing small boat journeys . it comes as 15 eu boat journeys. it comes as 15 eu countries, including austria, signed a letter calling on the european commission to tighten migration policy and to look at third country schemes . third country schemes. >> a woman in her 50s has been mauled to death by her own xl bully dogs at her home in

hornchurch , east london, hornchurch, east london, yesterday. she was treated by emergency services but was pronounced dead at the scene. the two registered dogs have since been seized . since been seized. >> julian assange can mount a fresh appeal against his extradition to the united states on charges of leaking military secrets. the wikileaks founder will now be able to challenge us assurances on how a trial there would be conducted, and over the protection of his right to free speech. >> and the princess of wales is excited by new report on prioritising early childhood, a cause she's closely associated with. the task force findings claim that the uk could reap £45.5 billion in economic benefits if firms prioritise early childhood. the princess of wales has been following the work closely while undergoing treatment for cancer . treatment for cancer. >> now the 80th anniversary of

the d—day landings is fast approaching and lots of preparations being done ahead of that important date. well, if you're out and about on the coast of southern cornwall last night, you might be forgiven for thinking that we'd actually been invaded ourselves. >> well, the royal marines stage an amphibious beach landing as part of the 80th anniversary of d—day, and we sent our south west of england reporter, jeff moody there to tell us more . moody there to tell us more. >> a sunny evening on a cornish beach. but something's coming. something the sunbathers aren't expecting . expecting. >> the safety is the biggest issue here, and this is the most dangerous thing they'll do, because in reality , they would because in reality, they would because in reality, they would be doing this at night on a foreign coast or maybe onto some some rocks. so they need to slowly progress. start off in the daylight without any equipment or weapons, and then move up to full tactical serials at night. >> until recently, major andrew atkinson was the officer commanding the landing craft squadron. the squadron's training for its part in the

d—day commemorations in france. in a couple of weeks time, they'll retrace the steps of four, seven commando sailing via portsmouth and landing on the 6th of june at gold beach in normandy. the marines will talk to veterans in portsmouth and will meet the last surviving d—day landing craft driver in france . and while they're on france. and while they're on their way to france, their training still continues cuz there's three distinct training courses taking place right now simultaneously one for sergeants, one for corporals and one for marines. some of these men have been in training for eight years. sergeant fraser is one of the instructors for today. he's proud of the work his marines have achieved. >> it'sjust his marines have achieved. >> it's just a method inserting troops onto the ground. we've got very different boats. we've got very different boats. we've got aukus offshore raiding craft, chp , different craft. craft, chp, different craft. but this is the base level mainly used for recces or, you

know, sneaky, sneaky stuff. dropping lads on the ground. >> it's a routine training exercise , but one that holds exercise, but one that holds a special significance in this anniversary year. >> i don't think the general pubuc >> i don't think the general public understands d—day fully. i think most people think of d—day and they just associate it with saving private ryan, and they don't realise how big the uk's part was. indeed, a of the 4000 ships, 80% were royal navy, two thirds of the landing craft were driven by royal marines . were driven by royal marines. over half the troops landed were british and her dominion canada. so britain's the lead for d—day. and in my humble opinion, it's the greatest military achievement of all time. and it's something the younger generations need to know. and there's only a few veterans left, so it's important for us to remember their deeds before the there are no more training continues well into the night, and they'll return in a few days. >> when the surf is higher and the conditions more challenging .

the conditions more challenging. only then will they be ready to make the journey across the channel to france to take their place in the commemoration . place in the commemoration. lie—ins jeff moody, gb news. >> and perfect weather for that as well, didn't they? >> yeah, that's right, that's remembered and honoured in this way as well. >> speaking of the weather, i think we've got a sort of damp interlude before. more sun at the end of the week. alex burkill has a much more accurate description. here's the forecast , a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> morning. here's your latest gb news weather update brought to you by the met office. there's the chance of some heavy, persistent rain, particularly across eastern parts, tomorrow, but through today we're talking about showers. we've already seen some showers. we've already seen some showers developing, especially across parts of england, but these are going to become more widespread, more frequent and pretty heavy as we go through the day. there's also the risk

of some thunder, especially across parts of northern ireland and southwest england. elsewhere, there will be quite a few showers around. also some bright or sunny spells and in any sunshine it should feel relatively warm with temperatures peaking in the mid to high teens , possibly just to high teens, possibly just about getting into the low 20 celsius. more showers to come as we head towards this evening and they are going to be pretty heavy for some of us, even across parts of scotland, though they won't be especially frequent here. we could see some downpours , a decent amount of downpours, a decent amount of bright or sunny spells around though towards eastern parts. holding on to a bit more cloud here. plenty of showers though across parts of northern ireland. likely to see some disruption, especially on the roads. could be a bit of surface water flooding. also plenty of showers across many parts of england and wales and here they could be heavy, possibly even thundery too. so do take care, especially if you're heading to on the roads as we go through overnight tuesday into wednesday , we are going to see more showery rain developing. and there's the potential for some more persistent rain to kick in

across eastern parts as we go towards dawn on wednesday, as well . quite a bit of cloud for well. quite a bit of cloud for many of us, so temperatures aren't going to drop a huge amount, but there could be some murkiness for some of us, some mist, some fog patches, a bit of low cloud in some spots . low cloud in some spots. tomorrow the big talking point will be the heavy, persistent rain. a bit of uncertainty as to how far west this is going to spread, but it is across eastern areas that it's most likely to be pretty wet here. some heavy, persistent rain. meanwhile further west it's looking slightly drier, but some showery outbreaks . some bright or sunny outbreaks. some bright or sunny spells though, and temperatures looking similar to today by that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on . boilers sponsors of weather on. gb news. >> now it's time for the great british giveaway! your chance to win £20,000 in cash in time for summer. so have a little think about what you would spend that on. would it be a dream holiday? get the garden done? maybe some house treats? as you know, i

highlight of the show for so many of us is of course, paul coyte. good morning. >> good morning. how are you? morning >> very good. how are you? i'm okay. >> yeah. i'm good. i got to tell you. it's a little bit quiet because the football's finished. >> that's exactly what somebody just said. >> really? what are they saying? >> really? what are they saying? >> they said john says, what's paul going to do now? there's no football for five. >> well, i was going to do some of my favourite show tunes, john. that's what i was going to

do. right. i'll tell you what we'll talk about is, is managers, because this is the time of the year that you, the manager, the managerial merry go round will begin. >> so we've been working on that outside some will step on, some will step off. >> now arne slot we've tried to work out whether he's an arnie or an earner or a renee earner. arne slot what's his nationality, he is , dutch. okay. nationality, he is, dutch. okay. >> so. yeah. >> so. yeah. >> so, yeah. so he was he was at feyenoord. so anyway, he's now come. he's now come to liverpool. so he there he is. there's only so he said that the opportunity to work at one of the world's biggest clubs, was difficult to ignore, which is kind of an interesting thing because it's a bit of an understatement really, because if you've come from feyenoord, with all respect to arnie , who's with all respect to arnie, who's come over from holland, that he's going to go to liverpool, then it is the biggest club in then it is the biggest club in the world. it's the biggest job in the world. so i mean, it's a huge gig for him. so he gets underway and he's confirmed as the new head coach. £9.4 million compensation available . are you

compensation available. are you are you really well or to . are you really well or to. >> i'm just thinking for those sorts of sums of money. it's not a it's not a bad, you know, career. >> it's not a bad career career pursuit. but the thing is when it comes to compensation, it's not really a huge amount of money because if you think how much money, clubs pay for players like £100 million a manager is probably more important than some of the players. so 9.4, it's quite peanuts . exactly. it's a three peanuts. exactly. it's a three year contract which begins on june the 1st. now roberto de zerbi is now the manager. he was at brighton. did very well at brighton. there he is. there's roberto, left brighton by mutual consent . it did a very good job. consent. it did a very good job. and when you think. see, i, i don't know whether i'm just getting suspicious about the whole thing, but, i smell a little foul play here, really? with de zerbi. because why would you go by mutual consent? and i'm thinking there's a job possibly that would be going at manchester united. there are rumours that are going there. so although erik ten hag is still at manchester united, maybe he's

going to get the elbow and roberto de zerbi will be moving in, so who knows. i'll go. another one for you. yeah. how about vincent company? oh yeah. good very good. very well said. because vincent company , because vincent company, although he was manchester city captain, hugely successful as a player, and he went to burnley. so his manager at burnley and did extremely well last year took them up into the premier league over 100 points. everybody thinking he's the new great manager. but then burnley have gone down this year, won only five out of 38 games. so what's going to happen to him? burnley probably want to keep him, but apparently bayern munich are interested in all right. and when do you take when you win like five games out of a whole season. it's a bit of a bizarre choice for bayern munich. >> it is bizarre. >> it is bizarre. >> so there we are. so there's that one and one will manage. you okay? >> could that be gareth southgate? how did you know i don't know, i just i've heard. was that that gareth southgate. >> look i had in my back pages and he's gareth southgate. well

gareth southgate the euros obviously around the corner. it's coming up next month. and today he names his provisional squad at 2:00 this afternoon. now they say around 30 players. so it doesn't really mean nothing. this this provisional squad.the nothing. this this provisional squad. the main thing is the 26 that will be announced on june the 8th, after they have one of their friendlies before the euros. and that's the one that counts. >> so four will get cut off between now and then. it's a bit bad. >> mean isn't it? can you imagine? why would you have the 30 and then, especially if you're one of the four that actually gets let go, that's elite sport. >> it's you know it's competitive. yeah it is. >> but you know extra four. so 26 now i've often asked how they find out you know because obviously it's a huge thing to find out whether you're an england player. back in the day they used to they used to let they used to they used to let the they used to let the clubs know. they tell the club and then they would announce it to it. but these days they just get it. but these days they just get it by text. so the players will just get a text. and one of the players showed me once this text and it says, can you please report to saint george's park, bnng report to saint george's park, bring your i mean, this is bring

your shin pads and your boots. oh come on, you're seriously bnng oh come on, you're seriously bring your shin pads in your boots. multi—million pound. don't forget to bring them. oh yeah. i've arrived for trainees or anything. you've forgotten. oh, i forgot my boots. i forgot my boots. but anyway. so that's going to be announced today. the first 30. and it will give us a clue of what the 26 is going to be. but that's on june 12th, i think whilst there's this sort of little football hiatus, we should really just talk a bit more about tennis. >> yes. got some tennis news for me. >> well, yeah, i've got a little bit. okay andy murray is playing in the geneva open. yep. yesterday he looks like. because the thing is we're talking about whether we're going to be able to get to see andy murray and his first game. you're going on what the wednesday, first wednesday, first wednesday i'm on the first tuesday. we'll definitely see him then. >> and you will i might not well but this is it. >> this is you know, no offence to andy, but we don't expect andy's going to go too far. and this could be the big, you know, the final hurrah. so anyway, he's at the geneva open. he's playing yannick hanfmann. who i know is your particular favourite player, isn't he. but, you know, it was called off

halfway through because leaves on the line. no, no it's similar. it was pollen from the trees. so the pollen from the trees. so the pollen from the trees is flying around all over the place. i don't know whether it was because he was sneezing or anything, but it was like it was snow. so andy saying, look, you know, it's just like it's snowing out here. so seven, six, four, one down at the moment. it will continue today. and whoever wins will then go forward to play wins will then go forward to play novak djokovic. so maybe a goodidea play novak djokovic. so maybe a good idea if he doesn't. >> and you've promised me dogs. >> and you've promised me dogs. >> i did promise you dogs. yes. this is you know what? sometimes when there's a lot, a lot of sport going on, you get fantastic things like, well, the dogs are sporty, aren't they? they're very sporty dogs. have a look at this. off we go. look at that dog surfing european dog surfing championship. that's kai the schnauzer. look at kai on there. now i've got a problem i don't know, do you think the dogs like this? >> yes. look at him working. >> yes. look at him working. >> look, that's the german shepherd there. look, he's he's. he looks very happy. he looks very happy. i mean, what a great championship to be at. look at him. he's he's loving that. so it's they're almost built for it because they've got four legs. look at him going past. >> they can ground themselves.

>> they can ground themselves. >> they've got. yeah great balance. >> the thing is there's a phrase in surfing which is called hang ten, where you hang your toes over the edge of the board. so i don't know how many claws are they doing that. >> oh, bless. oh no. >> that's the chocolate. that's koa. >> he was listening on the radio. the chocolate lab must check this out a little bit later on. >> yeah, the chocolate lab didn't look too happy to be. >> he did win, though. amazingly. i don't know what he actually did. yeah, i don't know whether he actually did. hang ten and catch it. now that's a fine, fine waimarama there. that's blue and ghost. the weimaraners. and there's a there's another one there. look, look. he's happy to go on because he's jumping on the board. oh they're having a great. you could just watch surfing dogs all day. >> all day with your dogs. >> all day with your dogs. >> like to surf . >> like to surf. >> like to surf. >> i don't know whether dudley would go for it. he'd probably have my hand off if i had. >> i reckon my cat would. my cat likes the bath. oh, really? one of those cats that love water. yeah, and actually, we spend a lot of time watching him trying to catch his shoe. >> i have got a problem with dudley. who does go for the water, because the thing is, if

there's any water, all of a sudden he smells. it runs to it. and the more filthy it is. and also, if i have to go in, pull. i've been pulled in before. it's a disaster. so maybe surfing would be. >> we need pictures of that in the next sports bulletin. something to look forward to. >> thank you. paul coyte. >> thank you. paul coyte. >> it's not a lot going on. did it show? no, not at all. >> no. native. >> no. native. >> we enjoyed it. thank you very much. >> it's a pleasure. >> it's a pleasure. >> stay with us. alex armstrong and claire muldoon will be here taking us through the papers.

on gb news, the people's channel on gb news, the people's channel, britain's election . channel. >> 632 welcome back to breakfast with isabel and ellie. today and time to go through what's making the news. we'll take a look at the news. we'll take a look at the front pages, first of all, and pretty much uniformity with all of them splashing on the infected blood scandal, the times is leading with calls for corporate manslaughter charges to be brought against anyone in government who helped cover up the infected blood scandal. >> the guardian also leads with what they call a deadly cover up of the blood scandal. >> here's the telegraph. it quotes that the prime minister's calling the revelations of the blood inquiry a day of shame for the british state, make guilty , the british state, make guilty, face justice, demands the mirror, amid the fallout from the infected blood inquiry. well, let's talk about that and the rest of the stories. making the rest of the stories. making the news this morning in the company of alex armstrong and claire muldoon. welcome to both of you. morning, morning to morning. and let's start, shall

we, alex, with this scandal, i mean, horror story after horror story , little children being story, little children being treated like guinea pigs lives being ruined, people being shunned from their communities because they were, you know, aids victims in all of this and cover up after cover up and some of the language in the report. truly, i can't think of a better word. shameful. >> absolutely. and you know, the victims here, one of their leading statements was that politicians should hang their headsin politicians should hang their heads in shame, and i could not agree more with them. if anything, that's too tame for what i would be saying if i was a victim or a family member of a victim. you know, successive governments have failed, utterly failed. thousands, tens of thousands of people , children, thousands of people, children, as you said, isabel, it's never going to be enough, no matter what compensation the government put forward. it's never going to be enough to bring back those people who lost their lives. this is just an abject failure from, from, from start to finish. well, look, what happens next is that the, you know, the

recommendations of the inquiry be put forward . have now to the be put forward. have now to the government. they've got 12 months to commit to those recommendations, which i suspect they will do very quickly if they will do very quickly if they want to, rishi sunak is saying he will do whatever it will take, pay whatever it costs to cover the compensation . but to cover the compensation. but as i said, i just, you know, this is just such a heartbreaking story. it's got similar. i don't want to make a comparison, but it's got similar post office scandal vibes that, you know, this is cover up after cover up and it goes all the way to the top of government, and you just wonder whether those poor victims will ever, ever feel any sense of closure. >> there's so much to it. you know, the issue of the compensation, the issue of justice, but also the issue of trust. >> well, it's not only that, but i am astounded about the timeline that, you know, this is actually started from, what, the 70s we can date this back to and why we need to look at why this has actually happened. we were importing blood from other countries. why why was there such a dearth of supplies of blood in this country ? why

blood in this country? why weren't people giving blood? some people were told they couldn't give blood and then they were actually given infected blood. it's beyond and it beggars belief. >> reports of a catalogue of errors each on its own, serious. taken together, they are a calamity and truly shocking. and actually individuals being named ken clarke has not come out looking no good. not at all. >> not at all. i mean, you know, one another statement here from from victims. we've been gaslit for generations when we're told people they didn't believe us, they said this wouldn't happen in the uk. and today this proves it can happen. and it did happen. and this is just, you know , hopefully a start of what know, hopefully a start of what will make a better national health service and hope in the future. and when things like this happen that the government don't wait decades to do something. >> and i think another important point on that, the national health service, if this was a privately owned, governed, bureaucrat , we i don't think we bureaucrat, we i don't think we would have any level of redress whatsoever. so i think one thing to take away is, thank goodness it was under government control and therefore, at least thank

goodness now the light has been shone on it. and something can and will be done. >> i think there can be justice when it's 40 years on. and if you were to have a criminal case, what kind of cross examination, what kind of memory will people have of all of those details? and many people will have died as well. >> that is the problem with looking through the optic of the timeline, and that is the difficulty in that. but i still go back to the fact that it's an absolutely egregiously horrible thing that's happened. but thankfully now the spotlight is on it and something godspeed will be done. >> and what do you make of corporate manslaughter charges against whitehall departments ? against whitehall departments? and also, as izzy just alluded to, ken clarke losing his peerage . peerage. >> well, potentially i mean, but there's i think everyone has to be held accountable and everyone has to be made aware of cause and effect, so therefore if it is a charge of corporate manslaughter, then so be it . manslaughter, then so be it. >> it's a difficult question, isn't it, with blame, because as it went on for so many years

across so many departments , across so many departments, across so many departments, across politics, the civil servants across the nhs , blame servants across the nhs, blame is across so many different departments . yeah, it's departments. yeah, it's difficult to it is easy to hide behind. >> it is . >> it is. >> it is. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> well that's what they have been doing. they have been hiding. >> that's it. and again going back to the post office, there's just so many people involved in it who you can't probably. well you definitely can't. one person, you know, you can't say you are responsible. there is just a range of departments and politicians who are absolutely responsible for this, but have, you know, haven't, haven't faced justice yet. and they should face some form of justice. of course they should. i don't know where the corporate manslaughter is, is the correct one. i'm not a lawyer. i'm not a judge. but they should be more done to compensate. >> and, you know, we'll all agree that the victims in this need compensation. but let's not forget that that money does come from the taxpayer. so we're all being penalised in this, which is part of the tragedy. >> why why are people so frightened of the truth a why are we. are we. >> are we. >> but there is a question, isn't there? culturally, we've seen this before, sort of bloody sunday. it took an awful long

time to get an apology. they were seen at the post office scandal. yeah. we've seen it with maternity failings. now within the nhs, there's this culture in britain where it takes so long to us ally pally that a problem has happened. yeah. and then to get an apology. >> well, this is it. and you know, again victims saying here this is just more and more statements coming out from the government's plan to provide a detailed response today suggested it was engineering a political moment which many people will find offensive, that will continue to compound suffering. this is silly, isn't it? it's like common sense. the pubuc it? it's like common sense. the public are saying this is wrong. we all know that this is wrong. come out with a robust statement to say we are going to do everything we can to get justice. that's all people expect. >> try and restore some confidence. >> absolutely. well, we've got mel stride for the government coming on in a few minutes. so we will pick up a lot of those points with him. and in the meantime, we'll try and look at some other stories. >> yes, let's claire, let's talk about this arrest warrant for benjamin netanyahu and hamas leaders from the icc. >> so this is really interesting, actually , because interesting, actually, because the icc have come out and they've actually said that israel are committing genocide, on on the palestinian is 100%

not pedantic about it all. >> i mean , the icc haven't, as >> i mean, the icc haven't, as an organisation, confirmed that yet. this is the chief prosecutor hoping that he can bnng prosecutor hoping that he can bring a case. yeah, right. >> so that's what they've said. but they've also issued a warrant for the arrests of both the hamas leader and the leader of israel, benjamin netanyahu . i of israel, benjamin netanyahu. i think the parity here between the two sides is such that i think politically and, and fiscally here and commercially here, we are divided in a nation in terms of what we think is, is and who is to blame is it israel? is it palestine? and many people now are calling for ceasefire. look what's happening to the higher echelons of the universities in this country. the russell group, universities , the russell group, universities, oxbridge universities, all these students are being mobilised to the palestinian cause. there is a lot of support out there for palestine. so i think the icc

actually this calling i think is actually this calling i think is a very positive thing. and i'll tell you why. i think it's an institution that will actually throw, as i said, parity on this situation and actually say to people, this is what's happening. let's try and come together because both sides will be up in arms about this. they'll both be saying, that's not fair. we're not committing jewish genocide. the jews will say, i'm sure. and the palestinians , led by hamas, palestinians, led by hamas, which are not a legitimate political party who are terrorists, will say, well, we are not. and i think hopefully this will bring together and hopefully from a very from my own view, i really hope for a ceasefire really soon. >> well, we will also pick that up with the government in just a moment. but just squeezing in another story before we do our morning round. alex let's talk about cancer detecting ai being offered to all hospitals, which sounds like much needed progress, particularly in an area where we are lagging behind our european counterparts. >> absolutely. this could be a game changer. and again, i love seeing these these positive ai stories because i can be used to

really save well, it can save millions of lives hopefully at some point in time. but but essentially what this is doing is saving the radiographers time. so at the moment, medics are sort of, from what i understand, spending two hours sort of contouring bones and organs and trying to get the scans correct. and this is going to free up, up to 70, 70% of their time in the future , which their time in the future, which will be going to be spent with patients. so you can imagine the kind of increase in treatments, in care for, you know, the government are putting in 15.5 million into this. so it's pretty big investment. and it will start getting rolled out within weeks. >> and people should start the research. and this has been absolutely phenomenal because they've actually the trial was scans that were scanned by ai and scans that were scanned post by radiologists and the differences was minuscule. they all came out with the same result . so it has been tested result. so it has been tested quite robustly. and i think the rollout of this is really positive and i think it will help patients. moreover because they'll get the result quicker. >> absolutely. and they detect

cancer far better than a human does because it notices patterns, even minuscule cancers that haven't developed yet. so this technology will be a game changer. changen >>i changen >> i never changen >> ineverthought changen >> i never thought i'd see this, but it's actually quite a benefit of ai but it's actually quite a benefit of a! of i will cling on to it. >> yeah, nice to hear a positive story. >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> ellie, you know, when we're talking about waiting lists, hopefully this sort of technology will help to, you know, free up doctors time really hope so. time and ultimately help the way. let's quickly squeeze this in because we are this is what mel stride, who we're about to talk to, is giving a speech on today, clare. >> and he is the secretary of state for work and pensions. and he wants to try and fill, vacant sees that have traditionally been filled by by foreigners with british workers. now it sounds, optimistic and a good idea, but we have historically struggled to do that . we have. struggled to do that. we have. how does he propose to do that? >> so he has. he's not in this telegraph article, but alex actually highlighted this . what actually highlighted this. what mel stride is hoping to do is actually involve, people who are economically inactive, introduce

boot camps for them, for those of them that are out of work. but we've got a net migration high at a record high of 672,000 last year, with workers from across the globe filling vacancies created by fewer post—brexit arrivals from the eu. but at the same time, there are more than 9 million britons who are looking for work . who are looking for work. interesting. well, look, let's pick that point up straight away as we have got the secretary of state for work and pensions, mel stride, joining us and probably listening to all of that. we are looking forward to your speech later on to hear exactly what you're planning to do with these job boot camps. explain to us how you're going to persuade british workers, increasingly economically inactive , to fill economically inactive, to fill these vacancies, that we have traditionally used foreign workers for. >> so i think the main point here is you've mentioned the migration numbers. we're absolutely determined to see those come down. in fact, all the forecasts are that they will be being reduced very significantly. about 300,000 people, fewer coming in through

the migration route. we recognise there are hot spots in the labour market around certain sectors. and what i'm going to be setting out today is a very clear plan that will be really utilising , the kind of utilising, the kind of advantages and schemes that we have at job centres to have an enhanced focus on those areas. i've set up a cross ministerial, task force that will be looking at making those kind of changes to the way the labour market works in those sectors to encourage and increase the supply of labour into them. we did that with hgv , licenses and did that with hgv, licenses and drivers. if you remember, back in 2021 when we had 33 different changes , which even in the short changes, which even in the short term really freed up labour supply . so those are the kind of supply. so those are the kind of things that i'm going to be talking about today along with a major campaign to make sure that employers are really fully aware of all the advantages in the schemes and the money and the investment and the training and the apprenticeships and everything else that these vested within our job centres to make sure that that happens.

>> i mean, it sounds like a good idea, but as izzy was just saying, historically, we as a country have really struggled with this. how is this plan any different from what we've seen before, or is this just more hot air? >> no, not not at all. and in fact, we showed in 2021 when, if you recall, we had that shortage of hgv drivers as we came out of the pandemic and what we did is we sat down and we really analysed that part of the labour market, and we came up with those 33 things which were quick and effective and freed up the supply of labour. and now in that case, one of them was the licensing arrangements around being able to drive a heavy goods vehicle. and we made changes there that speeded up the flow of drivers coming through. i'm going to be meeting with leaders across , industry with leaders across, industry and across these sectors later on today in a round table as part of that ongoing dialogue that we're having now with great intensity as to how we can actually help continue to free up, more labour into those areas, this is a great opportunity for our country.

this is an opportunity to really address this issue. now that migration is coming down and will be coming down quite dramatically to get the domestic , the british people into those domestic jobs across the domestic jobs across the domestic labour market. but i suppose really very excited about what we're going to be talking, except it demonstrates. >> or you could say exposes the challenge of, you know, trying to fix one problem and creating another one. you're trying to bnng another one. you're trying to bring down net migration, but you're admitting to us that this is going to create a recruitment challenge, which in turn will not necessarily be great for growth, which is one of the big pledges for rishi sunak and labour saying that you should be putting in place proper plans rather than setting up another talking shop . talking shop. >> well, well, it certainly isn't a talking shop . this is a isn't a talking shop. this is a really serious, clear plan . and really serious, clear plan. and i've outlined, for example, the approach that we're going to be taking within each one of these sectors. we have proof that this works because we did this in 2021. when it came to hgv drivers. we were able to intervene in that part of the

labour market and make a substantial difference really relatively quickly. but this is going to be alongside, of course, all the things that the chancellor , for example, funded chancellor, for example, funded with his £2.5 billion investment in our back to work plan. bringing all that together , bringing all that together, enhanced focus on those sectors. this is a big opportunity for the domestic workforce. >> look, we want to ask you about our biggest story today, our top story. it's the story thatis our top story. it's the story that is dominating and rightly so.the that is dominating and rightly so. the front pages of the newspapers this morning is, of course, the findings of the infected blood scandal . that infected blood scandal. that report took six years. finally published yesterday, but it found that the blood scandal could largely have been avoided. there was a pervasive cover up to hide the truth. it's the biggest treatment disaster in the nhs. the papers have called it a day of shame for the british state. what's your response to this report ? response to this report? >> well, i think as the prime minister said yesterday, i think this has shaken the nation to

its core. i think to have ended up in a situation where 30,000 people became infected, 3000, more than 3000 of those have died . and to be a mother or died. and to be a mother or father, watching a child pass away or indeed a young person losing, for example, your parents, is just something that is beyond description. i think what the prime minister set out very clearly yesterday is absolutely right, which is firstly, we must provide full and comprehensive, compensation and comprehensive, compensation and john glenn, the cabinet minister for the cabinet office, will be making a statement to parliament later about that. but we've also got to address the recommendations made within sir brian's report, a very extensive and comprehensive report, and we will be doing that also, because why should anybody trust the words that you're speaking, that the prime minister was speaking yesterday? >> i mean, rishi sunak was named in that report . his government in that report. his government was found to have been sluggish in the pace of compensation, perpetuating the injustice for

victims. and your former colleague, former health secretary sajid javid, said time and again, ministers have stood at the despatch box under successive governments, including myself, promising that lessons will be learned. so can i ask mr sunak? he said yesterday why will it be any different this time? and plenty of people will be asking that this morning. >> well, i totally understand the frustration that there is around the length of time that this has taken. this is something that goes back to the 1970s, and governments of all colours . but i do think that we colours. but i do think that we reached a very important point yesterday with the publication of sir brian's final report , of sir brian's final report, with the statement made by the prime minister making it very clear the full and comprehensive compensation will now be brought forward. and as i say, there will be a further statement to parliament today to set out some of the details of that. >> can you, can you this morning, though, give us assurances that that comprehensive package of compensation will all go to the

victims specifically, not some of it siphoned off for lawyers in other ways, it will all 100% be going to those who've been absolutely seeing their lives ruined by this let down. >> well, i'm absolutely confident, as the prime minister said yesterday, that full and comprehensive compensation will be provided to all those that have been affected in the right way. and i don't want to prejudge indeed , i don't know prejudge indeed, i don't know exactly what john glenn will be saying to parliament this afternoon, but i have no doubt that he will be following up. to the letter. the commitment that the letter. the commitment that the prime minister made very clearly yesterday, lord ken clarke is specifically named in this report. >> it concluded he'd misled the pubucin >> it concluded he'd misled the public in an indefensible way over the risks from blood transfusions. he had said there was no conclusive proof that aids could be spread through blood. he's now facing calls to be stripped of his peerage. do you think he should ?

you think he should? >> well, it's not a matter for government, i think, to opine on forfeiture of honours. that's there's a process that is there for that, that is established outside of government. >> but what does justice, i suppose, is the question many lessons. it's so easy, isn't it? always to say, well, that's not in our remit. >> well, as i, well, yes. well the report itself is 2700 pages or thereabouts. i think i certainly haven't had a chance to read it between yesterday and, and this morning. >> but you could understand, you can understand, can't you, for victims families, you can understand for victims families who say they were gaslit by ken clarke being told that there was there was no proof that aids could be that could be transmitted through blood. when they knew that was the case with their very loved family members, so many of whom have since died. you can understand why they then want to see him lose his peerage. >> well, i totally understand

that there will be absolutely, correctly, very strong feelings about many aspects of the conclusions and what has been unearthed. i mean, look, we're, sir brian has been very clear about the issue of cover up within the health service and amongst senior officials. and those are things that need to be looked into and in the course of time, absolutely will be, i've no doubt about that. >> but i just want to push you on what i suppose justice looks like for you. i mean, you don't want to comment on whether ken clarke should have his peerage stripped, but the labour mayor, andy burnham, is talking about corporate manslaughter against whitehall departments. should we see doctors facing criminal prosecutions? i mean, what's your vision of justice? >> well, justice is following up robustly on the findings of the report. now, in the case of corporate manslaughter and criminal charges and proceedings, then clearly that is a matter for the police and for the crown prosecution service. but look, these matters will be looked at very carefully

of that. i can absolutely assure you, but i don't think it would be right for me to start a pining on, on various specific elements of that . at this stage, elements of that. at this stage, they need to be looked into properly, but the matters that you've just raised really are matters for the police and the crown prosecution service. >> just finally, we want to pick up on the icc, the chief prosecutor's applications yesterday that he's filed for the arrest warrants against hamas leaders and israeli leadership as well, some people are saying that the british government is not without fault. and if these charges are brought by the international criminal court that britain could be considered for aiding and abetting israel in all of this, what do you make of that ? what do you make of that? >> well, i don't accept that we are here as a key ally of israel, but that isn't a commitment that isn't without bounds. and we've been very clear to the israelis for example, the importance of getting humanitarian aid into gaza. and that's why we've

cooperated with the americans on the building of that pier to bnng the building of that pier to bring aid in. that's why we've pressed the israelis to make sure that those crossings at errors and the port at ashdod, etc. are open for exactly that purpose. and calling for restraint at every turn and the appropriate protection of civilians so that we can move to that point where we can start seeing hostages released and start to move to that temporary ceasefire, at least to help further speed up the availability of humanity . korean availability of humanity. korean aid. and those are things that we're doing. i think the foreign secretary is now out in the middle east. i think that's his 11th visit to that region for exactly that purpose. and that is how we are positively engaging with this situation . engaging with this situation. >> okay. secretary of state for work and pensions, mel stride , work and pensions, mel stride, good to see you this morning. thank you very much. thank you. >> a range of questions she answered for us there. i appreciate your time. and just a word to say thank you very much to alex armstrong, clare muldoon, we'll have more from

them in the papers just after 7:30. but for now, let's get a check on your forecast with alex burkill. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> morning. here's your latest gb news weather update brought to you by the met office. there's the chance of some heavy, persistent rain, particularly across eastern parts, tomorrow . but through parts, tomorrow. but through today we're talking about showers. we've already seen some showers. we've already seen some showers developing, especially across parts of england, but these are going to become more widespread, more frequent and pretty heavy as we go through the day. there's also the risk of some thunder , especially of some thunder, especially across parts of northern ireland and southwest england . and southwest england. elsewhere, there will be quite a few showers around. also, some bright or sunny spells and in any sunshine it should feel relatively warm with temperatures peaking in the mid to high teens, possibly just about getting into the low 20 celsius. more showers to come as we head towards this evening, and they are going to be pretty

heavy for some of us, even across parts of scotland, though they won't be especially frequent here. we could see some downpours, a decent amount of bright or sunny spells around though towards eastern parts. holding on to a bit more cloud here. plenty of showers though across parts of northern ireland likely to see some disruption , likely to see some disruption, especially on the roads. could be a bit of surface water flooding . also plenty of showers flooding. also plenty of showers across many parts of england and wales, and here they could be heavy, possibly even thundery too. so do take care, especially if you're heading to on the roads . as we go through roads. as we go through overnight tuesday into wednesday, we are going to see more showery rain developing. and there's the potential for some more persistent rain to kick in across eastern parts as we go towards dawn on wednesday, as well . quite a bit of cloud as well. quite a bit of cloud for many of us, so temperatures aren't going to drop a huge amount, but there could be some murkiness for some of us, some mist, some fog patches, a bit of low cloud in some spots. tomorrow the big talking point will be the heavy, persistent rain . a bit of uncertainty as to rain. a bit of uncertainty as to how far west this is going to spread, but it is across eastern

areas that it's most likely to be pretty wet here. some heavy, persistent rain . meanwhile, persistent rain. meanwhile, further west it's looking slightly drier, but some showery outbreaks. some bright or sunny spells though, and temperatures looking similar to today by that warm feeling inside from boxt boiler as sponsors of weather on

gb news. >> a very good morning to you. it is fast approaching 7:00 on tuesday, the 21st of may. >> you are tuned into breakfast this morning with isabel webster and ellie costello . my pleasure and ellie costello. my pleasure to have you with me. it's great to have you with me. it's great to be here and leading for us today. britain's day of shame is the infected blood inquiry exposed decades of lies, cover ups and failures, with the prime minister now promising comprehensive compensation. >> the people and institutions in which we place our trust

failed in the most harrowing and devastating way the us sides with israel . with israel. >> as benjamin netanyahu expresses his disgust after the international criminal court chief prosecutor calls for him to be arrested, grooming gangs crushed as a new, dedicated police task force makes hundreds of arrests protecting thousands of arrests protecting thousands of victims . and the prime of victims. and the prime minister is in vienna today as he promotes his rwanda scheme, calling for support from his european counterparts. >> plus a new study has revealed harm from alcohol costs £24 billion a year. so we'll be debating whether it's time to put together restrictions on alcohol sales . alcohol sales. >> so isabel shaking when she said that. stop it in the sport today gareth southgate names his provisional squad for the euros at 2:00 this afternoon, about 30 to start with. and then that'll be whittled down to 26. talking

to managers, the manager merry go round is beginning to start up with some comings and goings, and andy murray's first round match at the geneva open was stopped due to pollen from the trees falling all over him. >> there will be heavy thunderstorms for some of us today. then tomorrow brings the potential for persistent rain. i'll have more details coming up i >> -- >> now it's lam >> now it's the day that shamed the nation . after decades of the nation. after decades of failures, mismanagement and cover ups, the prime minister has finally apologised over the infected blood scandal, which since the 1980s has seen 3000 people die and 30,000 people infected. >> this is a day of shame for the british state. today's report shows a decades long moral failure at the heart of our national life , from the our national life, from the national health service to the civil service to ministers in

successive governments, at every level, the people and institutions in which we place our trust failed in the most harrowing and devastating way . harrowing and devastating way. they failed the victims and their families , and they failed their families, and they failed this country . this country. >> while the inquiry announced by theresa may back in 2017 and which began in 2018, handed down its final report yesterday , its final report yesterday, offering a damning indictment on decades of mismanagement. >> and today the government is set to outline a compensation package to victims, with reports of £10 billion being earmarked. >> well, joining us now is gb news political correspondent, olivia utley. good morning to you, olivia. we expect to get more details of exactly how this compensation will be handed down to victims . but there are also to victims. but there are also questions beginning to be brought now about possibilities of people like ken clarke named in the report, having his peerage removed, or also talk of corporate manslaughter even for whitehall departments. so things are getting serious now .

are getting serious now. >> yes, exactly. what was interesting about the report , interesting about the report, sir brian langstaff didn't hesitate to name individual ministers who he felt were to particularly to blame. ken clarke was among them. and there are now calls for him to lose his peerage. tony blair, too, was singled out. tony blair said he didn't think there would be any purpose in a an inquiry back in 1999, talks of corporate manslaughter of a whole civil service departments. it seems as though ultimately it was probably a group of civil servants will never probably know exactly who they were, who decided to sort of play god with blood, which they thought could be infected. but it might be, they thought, worth it if thousands of lives were going to be saved, that is clearly totally unacceptable behaviour. and it looks as though it is quite possible that some sort of corporate manslaughter charge will come to whole civil service departments . but will come to whole civil service departments. but in the

meantime, we are expected to hear about the compensation package. today. it could be worth about £10 billion. we're expecting jeremy hunt has already apologised for his part as health secretary when he didn't pay out compensation . didn't pay out compensation. people in ireland, for example, were paid compensation back in 1996 and jeremy hunt has said he did have the opportunity as health secretary to pay compensation. but there were other pulls on the department's purse strings , and he ended up purse strings, and he ended up pushing that candle a little bit further down the road. now, as chancellor, he's trying to sort of right those wrongs with this pretty large compensation package. pretty large compensation package . and of course, that package. and of course, that compensation package will have knock on effects on the rest of the treasury. jeremy hunt was hoping to lower taxes again before the next election, but with a £10 billion package, it doesn't look like he'll have any fiscal headroom to do that. it will be really interesting later today when we hear the details of exactly how that money is going to be handed to the victims and the families of the

victims and the families of the victims of this scandal, and it will be fascinating to see to the reaction from these victims, some of whom have been waiting 45 years for some form of compensation for some sort of redress for what they went through. will this package today be enough for them ? be enough for them? >> point. olivia, thanks very much indeed. we should point out we will be speaking to a victim just after 8:00 this morning, here to tell us exactly what she made of the report yesterday and what she would like to see in terms not just of compensation, but justice going forward. so that's in around an hour's time now, a dedicated police task force set up to bring down grooming gangs has supported police forces in england and wales to make hundreds of arrests in its first year. in the last 12 months, the crack team of expert investigators and analysts have helped police forces arrest over 550 suspects, identify and protect over 4000 victims and build up robust cases to get justice for these appalling crimes. >> joining us now in the studio is gb news reporter charlie peters. good to see you this

morning, charlie. and the work of this task force. well, it has to be applauded, really, doesn't it, because they're protected thousands of victims surely. yeah. >> that's right. and a core part of the success that they've had all these arrests, the suspects that they've brought in and those investigations that they've launched, they're saying that's on the back of training over 400 specialist officers now, a major issue if you speak to police officers who work in this field of complex child abuse, they do say that there is abuse, they do say that there is a major issue in the police of skill fade. >> many of the long term investigators in the police leaving the force and leaving behind the skills and drills required to capture so many of these gangs, both online and in person, on street grooming is a serious issue. but of course, so much of the problem now is that it's happening online. so a core part of that training that this task force is doing, supported by the national crime agency, is about data officers, data analysts to gather that information. so they have a complex and organised child abuse database. as a part of this, nca supported task force.

and it's a it's been a campaigning victory for gb news as well, because we called for a specialist task force of this nature last year after a documentary we broadcast in february on the grooming gangs scandal , because it had been so scandal, because it had been so clear across the country and across all 42 police forces in england and wales, actually, that when the nca stepped in britain's fbi, there was a more robust approach to justice and achieving some of the outcomes that victims and campaigners required. and all too often as this country knows, for several of the localised on street grooming issues that britain faced, particularly in rochdale and rotherham, and in telford, several other towns and cities across britain. when local forces were left to their devices, they ignored the issue, in part due to racial nervousness and political correctness, but also just due to a lack of capability. poor skills and technique in dealing with on street grooming . so one with on street grooming. so one yearin with on street grooming. so one year in to this task force, you have to say it's very reassuring news.

>> do you think lessons have been learnt from the likes of rotherham and rochdale, or is it too soon to suggest that we are making progress? >> well, it's almost a decade since the rotherham crisis sort of hit the national consciousness. from 1997 to 2013, over 1400 children in the town were abused by those gangs, and it was only revealed after a series of reports by the times newspaper in 2012, which then led to several national public inquiries and the ncaa . when inquiries and the ncaa. when they did their own review in 2015, they actually increased the number of victims. so when they stood in, that happened . they stood in, that happened. lessons have been learned in some cases, but not all. and in december, his majesty's inspectorate of constabulary and fire rescue services is a huge name for a big watchdog that keeps an eye on all the police forces. it looked at 27 forces across the country, and it found that four of them were totally inadequate. when it came to deaung inadequate. when it came to dealing with child abuse, and 14 required serious improvement. so, even among that reporting at the time when that came out in

december, when, when that watchdog released that report, one of the core kind of the shining lights from that report, the positive steps was that the national, the national police chiefs council could say this task force, this specialist unit had accelerated police work had made a significant, significant difference. and we're seeing some of that in the data they've released today with those arrests, those suspects and so many of those new officers trained. >> okay, charlie peters , thank >> okay, charlie peters, thank you very much indeed. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> it's 709. let's take a look at some of the other stories coming into the newsroom this morning. and israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has hit back after the international criminal court confirmed it was seeking an arrest warrant against him for war crimes in gaza, calling the move a moral outrage. netanyahu rejected the comparison between israel and hamas. that's as the court also seeks arrest warrants for top hamas leaders. earlier, we spoke to founder of the sanctuary foundation, doctor krish kandiah i >>i -- >> i think m >> i think this prosecutor has been brave and is doing the

right thing. lady justice, when she's portrayed in statues, is normally blind, holding the scales of justice. that means we should be not. regarding the countries that are involved, but looking at where the crimes are being committed. and that's the most important question . sinner most important question. sinner pictures from vienna. >> now, as the prime minister meets for talks with the austrian chancellor about illegal migration, these pictures coming in just a moment ago.the pictures coming in just a moment ago. the pair are expected to agree that designating safe third countries like rwanda is a solution to preventing small boat crossings . it comes solution to preventing small boat crossings. it comes as 15 eu countries, including austria , eu countries, including austria, signed a letter calling on the european commission to tighten migration policy and look at third country schemes . third country schemes. >> a woman in her 50s has been mauled to death by her own xl bully dogs at a home in hornchurch, east london. she was treated by emergency services on monday afternoon, but was pronounced dead at the scene. the two xl bullies were both

registered following the crackdown on the breed back in february, and have now been seized by police and the princess of wales is said to be excited by a new report on prioritising early childhood, a cause that she's closely associated with. >> the task force findings claim that the uk could reap £45.5 billion in economic benefits if firms prioritise early childhood. the princess of wales has been following the work closely while undergoing treatment for cancer . treatment for cancer. >> i should point out we've got cameron walker a little bit later on in the program and angela levin to talk all things royal talking about that early years report that catherine has expressed an interest in from behind closed doors, where she's still recuperating . but also, still recuperating. but also, we're going to be looking a little bit about all the pictures on the front page from chelsea, because of course, the king was there and he got a new nickname, the king of compost, which he really saw as a

compliment, which sums him up, really. and the queen was called the queen of the bees because she's a big campaigner for that. yeah, so i think that's fantastic. so we're talking about all things royal a little bit later on, and so lovely to see them laughing and smiling as well, because they have been through so much haven't they, in recent months. >> so and we know how much they love nature and the outdoors and all things beautiful. so beautiful pictures coming from chelsea, talking of beautiful things, it's been gorgeous weather. it has been fast though, well will it that's a question for alex burkill. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> morning. here's your latest gb news weather update brought to you by the met office. there's the chance of some heavy, persistent rain, particularly across eastern parts, tomorrow . but through parts, tomorrow. but through today we're talking about showers. we've already seen some showers. we've already seen some showers developing, especially across parts of england, but these are going to become more widespread, more frequent and pretty heavy as we go through

the day. there's also the risk of some thunder , especially of some thunder, especially across parts of northern ireland and southwest england . and southwest england. elsewhere, there will be quite a few showers around. also, some bright or sunny spells and in any sunshine it should feel relatively warm with temperatures peaking in the mid to high teens, possibly just about getting into the low 20 celsius. more showers to come as we head towards this evening, and they are going to be pretty heavy for some of us, even across parts of scotland, though they won't be especially frequent here. we could see some downpours, a decent amount of bright or sunny spells around though towards eastern parts. holding on to a bit more cloud here. plenty of showers though across parts of northern ireland likely to see some disruption , likely to see some disruption, especially on the roads. could be a bit of surface water flooding . also plenty of showers flooding. also plenty of showers across many parts of england and wales, and here they could be heavy, possibly even thundery too. so do take care, especially if you're heading to on the roads . as we go through roads. as we go through overnight tuesday into wednesday, we are going to see more showery rain developing and there's the potential for some more persistent rain to kick in

across eastern parts as we go towards dawn on wednesday as well. quite a bit of cloud for many of us, so temperatures aren't going to drop a huge amount, but there could be some murkiness for some of us, some mist, some fog patches, a bit of low cloud in some spots . low cloud in some spots. tomorrow the big talking point will be the heavy, persistent rain. a bit of uncertainty as to how far west this is going to spread, but it is across eastern areas that it's most likely to be pretty wet here. some heavy, persistent rain . meanwhile, persistent rain. meanwhile, further west it's looking slightly drier, but some showery outbreaks. some bright or sunny spells though, and temperatures looking similar to today by that warm feeling inside from boxt boiler as sponsors of weather on gb news. >> time now for our giveaway . >> time now for our giveaway. the biggest cash prize we've ever offered you. £20,000 of tax free cash that you can spend however you like. >> yes, have a little think about what you'd like to spend

i >> welcome back to breakfast with isabel webster and ellie costello. now, shocking new figures from the institute of alcohol studies has revealed that the cost of alcohol costs the economy more than £24 billion a year. >> it found that there had been a steady increase in alcohol consumption and alcohol related deaths . so we're asking consumption and alcohol related deaths. so we're asking this morning, is it time to get tougher on alcohol? >> well, joining us now is the

chief executive of rock angels, paul blakey, who says alcohol is vital to our economy. and co—founder of the social chain don mcgregor, who has said why not ban it ? okay. very good not ban it? okay. very good morning to both of you. good to see you both. dom, let's start with you. is it time that we put restrictions on alcohol? >> i think if i've been sober for eight years now and my entire kind of debate back to me is that the alcohol has been good for the economy because the tax that's raised from it. >> this is the first time i've ever seen a statistic which says that actually alcohol costs the economy more than it does raise in tax. and i think my view is that we need to have a serious conversation around it, because it's actually now impacting people's lives more than we ever imagined, from financial and from health. and i think what we're kind of talking about here is we're not talking about someone who has one glass of wine at home with a meal. we're actually talking very much about binging, talking about drinking to excess. you look at the figures, it's crime, which is the largest amount of costs, the cost to us. so yeah, i think we need to look at how we regulate

alcohol and how we can help educate people on the damages and dangers they can have from drinking so much. >> do you think, paul, that there is a kind of double standards when it comes to alcohol? i mean, it is a drug. it does cause people to do things that they, you know, they lose inhibitions and unsafe behaviour and yet, you know, drug taking completely illegal. but we're very relaxed about alcohol. why do you think there is that kind of different approach? >> i think historically england's been i mean, the world is kind of very relaxed about alcohol and obviously alcohol, is probably more pleasurable, more fun, and certainly for the work that i do with street angels work on the streets and at festivals , we see people at festivals, we see people drinking lots and lots of alcohol , but interestingly, it's alcohol, but interestingly, it's the binge drinking that's actually reduced over the years. so we're very much gone from this binge culture to a much less, more balanced use of alcohol. and certainly young people today are not drinking as much as they did, 19 years ago when we started doing street angels . angels. >> dom, i just wanted to pick

you up on a word that you said. i know paul's just mentioned it as well. it's the word education, because instead of restrictions and putting bans on people, you know, people just come straight back and say, we're not a nanny state. we shouldn't be a nanny state. at least we shouldn't be putting restrictions on something that people enjoy is an education. the answer? and educating people about the dangers of binge drinking and drinking to excess . drinking and drinking to excess. >> yeah. look, i'm sober because i drank a lot of alcohol. >> yeah. look, i'm sober because i drank a lot of alcohol . you i drank a lot of alcohol. you know, that's the reason i'm here. i'm probably more qualified to talk about the damages than anyone, because i've actually seen them, how they impact my life first hand, i was completely unaware at the age of 21, 22, the damage that it could do to you, i remember being 18 and thinking, oh, my god, the first thing i'm going to do when i'm 18 is buy a drink. and that is so ingrained in our culture. so i do think there's a real, piece to do around educating people around the damages it will do. and short term and long term. you know, we have it with drugs, as you said. we know. you know, we're told that drugs, we have a drug will kill ourselves. that's kind of what we learn from a

young age and how bad they are. but actually we actually have this acceptance that alcohol is something to celebrate life with, to enjoy, to have constantly and to be. this thing that as soon as you turn 18, you can suddenly do and, you should do because it's normal. >> yeah. and i suppose, paul, the argument as well against a ban would be, well, where do you draw the line? what about those people that overeat that are obese, that are costing the taxpayer a fortune in terms of nhs treatment and all their related illnesses, etc? you know, if you start with alcohol, slippery slope, isn't it, to pretty much banning everything? >> it could be. yeah. and the last thing that you want to do really is push something underground. something that's been so well accepted in society underground, you know, and certainly education. i often go into schools to talk about alcohol and safety , and lots of alcohol and safety, and lots of our street angel teams across the country will do that . and we the country will do that. and we are finding that young people certainly are more aware now of the need to be safe around alcohol consumption . and alcohol consumption. and actually alcohol consumption amongst young people is decreasing . we're finding now decreasing. we're finding now that young people want those kind of instagrammable moments where they'll, you know, go on

holiday, go to a festival, go to an event, and they want to kind of celebrate in that way, rather than going to the local nightclub week in, week out, but certainly if you look at our culture, i mean, every tv soap opera is based around a pub and actually pubs can make that real heart of the community. and i think that's something to be celebrated. where else can you go that's not alcohol related, where people can come and just have, you know, time together with other people ? with other people? >> it's hard to argue with that, isn't it, dom? i mean, it is part of the great british culture, the pub culture. it's really easy to argue that, we talked about we mentioned a word earlier about fun, you know, an alcohol is fun. >> alcohol is not fun. come on. there's so many other ways to have fun. i've done festivals about drinking. i go on nights out about drinking. everything that we do and every time we have fun, we don't have to have alcohol around it, you know? that's that's a that's one of the cultural lies we're telling everyone. so, you know, i've done coachella, i've done glastonbury, i've done all these festivals and i've never had a

drink, and i've had a better time than i've seen people who are lying, lying in a floor of mud drunk. so i don't think these two things have to be completely associated. i don't think you have to go to the pub to drink. i don't think you have to drink. i don't think you have to connect with people to drink. there's so many other healthy ways to spend time with people. >> okay, just a really quick one, dom. if you'd have had a sticker on your bottle of beer that showed cirrhosis of the liver or the sort of alcohol related complications that people can develop, would that have made you think twice? and i'm thinking, you know, in comparison with the cigarette packets that people are used to seeing now? >> yeah, obviously the data says that it works. you know, smoking is declining. so the kind of risk is there. but i think the bigger area is marketing. you know, we kind of have this emotional connection driven into us through areas like guinness and the six nations, you know, and the six nations, you know, and the six nations, you know, and the belief that we have to have alcohol at festivals. so i think we should look at the marketing of alcohol and where it reaches and how people perceive it. then direct kind of images on bottles, really good conversation, both of you. >> thank you very much indeed. paul blakey and dom mcgregor. good to see you both this

morning. >> yeah. do get in touch at home as well. what do you think about this gbnews.com/yoursay. and we'll read out some of those

welcome back to breakfast. the time is 729, and paul coyte is here with us to go through all the sports. >> i've got a very long list, considering it's quiet for sport. you know what? >> it's a long list, but it's not high quality. that's all i can say . you know, i'll do what can say. you know, i'll do what i can. i'm. we're all heading towards a&e pens. whether you want to go for the surfing dogs again or not, we'll end on the high. i want to end on the high because have we got, a golf expert as well that makes masses of the shots. he's demonstrating as well. sounds entertaining. it's. well, let's start with with managers, shall we? >> the merry go round of managers , the merry go round managers, the merry go round because that's what happened. >> who knows where it's going to stop some will jump on, some will jump off. we've got arne slot, who is the new manager of liverpool? so it's been

announced officially that he will start on june the 1st. there's arnie there. and that's the scarf of feyenoord , there he the scarf of feyenoord, there he is, looking very happy with himself. >> oh, just just on the topic of liverpool anne diamond was saying at the weekend she's got a bit of a soft spot forjurgen a bit of a soft spot for jurgen klopp . klopp. >> oh i do shall. >> oh i do shall. >> i saw the way he behaves in press conferences but i think he's a handsome manager. >> so does anne diamond. you've got competition so you need new teeth and eyes lasered. no, she likes the taste. >> she likes the teeth. oh man. see, the thing is. >> so we need to set that up. >> so we need to set that up. >> okay, well, can you imagine anne diamond and jurgen klopp? >> i think they'd be lovely together. >> match made in heaven. >> match made in heaven. >> i said i'd actually. and he's retired now so he's got time to take her out. yes. >> exactly how his wife would feel the whole situation. >> oh that's a fantastic point. i didn't think about that. ellie >> well, i let the wife get in the way of a lovely relationship manager. merry go round. >> right. >> right. >> exactly. anyway. and jumping on.and >> exactly. anyway. and jumping on. and then jurgen , i don't on. and then jurgen, i don't really know where i'm talking about the merry go round, of course. but anyway, arne slot back to arnie, who i'm not sure i believe is also, he's also

betrothed also, opportunity to work out one of the biggest clubs in the world was difficult to ignore , he said. but you know to ignore, he said. but you know what? if liverpool come calling, of course you're going to go there. there are other clubs that were interested in him, but the thing is, is it going to work at liverpool or is it going to be a poisoned chalice? the fact that maybe jurgen decided to go at the right time? well, we'll find out. but he starts on june the 1st, leaving things in three year contract. >> good shape. >> good shape. >> so yeah, it's pretty, pretty good chalice in the kind of man united kind of poisoned chalice. >> exactly. >> exactly. >> very good point. but the thing is, it's just that when you get like most salah looks like he's going to go. and then there are certain players that are getting a little older now that they're going to have to start to rebuild. and i wonder whether that was jurgen klopp's decision or it was for the love of anne diamond, that that's what it was. roberto de zerbi said on the name roberto de zerbi, who's left brighton by mutual consent, which always makes me raise my eyebrows because whenever you have mutual consent , foul play, it's consent, foul play, it's potentially sense. a little foul play potentially sense. a little foul play there, ellie. i'm not sure

whether it's whether there's something there's. i've whether it's whether there's something there's . i've been something there's. i've been reading tweets. and the thing is, you can never believe everything you see on twitter, as you well know. but there was one that was coming out of italy saying that, oh, well, we've heard that manchester united have already paid brighton, a fee , undisclosed the amount. and fee, undisclosed the amount. and also who it's for , for. but also who it's for, for. but whether it be roberto de zerbi, we don't know. now these are all just rumours. it's probably completely untrue . but completely untrue. but conjecture, you kind of think, why would you leave brighton at this point? so is there another job to go to? and erik ten hag is currently the manager is also on a sticky wicket. we'll see what goes on there. >> and the euro squad is going to be announced this afternoon right? >> yeah. 13. >> yeah. 13. >> it's about 30. so the first is about 30. and then it just gets whittled down. so it's going to be 26. so i mean if it's 30 there's only four that are actually going to lose their place. >> that's quite mean to those four isn't it. they don't last very long. >> and also how you do it as

well because i don't know whether they do it like an extra. >> i've had long conversations with managers before, even glenn hoddle i spoke to you about. there was the famous moment that he actually got rid of gazza from from france 98, and there were stories that he smashed up the room and he said, well, no, he didn't. he, he kind of just punched the punched the wall because he was so upset. but do they do the, the whole x factor way of going. you've been really good. but and you just don't know what it's going to be or anyway, that's how they'll do it. they will lose four. so it'll be 26 and that'll be by june the 8th just before the euros begin. so that's when the final 26 will be okay. >> right. we've got a minute . so >> right. we've got a minute. so you take your pick between surfing dogs or golf gaff. >> i'm gonna i'm going to leave the surfing dogs. we'll do that in an hour. we will. we will do the dogs again. this is a guy called johnson. wagner. now johnson wagner is a professional golfer. and if we hang on, i'll talk you through it just before we see johnson. johnson wagner is one of these golf experts. so on these golf channels , he'll on these golf channels, he'll appear and he'll go, well this is how xander schauffele should

have taken the shot. this is the point. so we'll go actually on to the course which was at valhalla for the pga over the weekend. and then he tries to recreate the shot and shows what he should have done . but he's he should have done. but he's got the golfing yips at the moment, which means, oh no, he's chipping. he's a little off. so he's a little nervous about making these chips on live television. have a look at this. so here we are. here's johnson. >> wagner with the yips landing into an upslope . oh. into an upslope. oh. >> oh, dear. that's one of mine. so he's hit that little fat which is no good. so. okay, everybody, i'll go again. >> i don't want carrie to get mad at me. >> come on. come on. johnson's getting nervous. you can hear it in his voice. oh, god. oh, my goodness me. that's absolutely nowhere near either. >> i got a chunk and i got a skull. maybe i can do this a little better. he's trying to keep it together. >> he's obviously very upset. this is the third one he's going to do now. >> one in sculled one. but i'm going to see if xander hits it in the same spot tomorrow. it's perfect. he's got all this green to work with. my pressure buddy. now johnson cut back there. >> right. just land it near the flag and here he goes. i've got a good feeling about this one.

>> oh, absolutely. yeah. nowhere. >> fantastic. >> fantastic. >> you all have a great show. >> you all have a great show. >> oh, damn. it just shows up to the best of them. >> so when i go out and play golf and have a horrendous year, i do. >> every shot is like that. >> every shot is like that. >> i do nothing like that, to be honest. >> i can't even hit the ball. >> i can't even hit the ball. >> can you not? >> can you not? >> no. well, there you go. you could probably do better than that. better than johnson johnson. >> thank you. appreciate it. entertaining and amusing us. next time, maybe we could talk about the combined little duo of rafa and federer and louis vuitton. >> we may squeeze that end around. >> and i have to say it's we know you love talking about ellie and i will love that. >> okay. all right. >> okay. all right. >> thank you very much. see you later. thank you. >> do stay with us. we're going to be going through the papers with alex armstrong and claire muldoon. that's

next. >> right. we're going through

the front pages of the newspapers now, leading with the times. they're calling for corporate manslaughter charges to be brought against anyone in government who helped cover up the infected blood scandal. >> the guardian also leads with what they call a deadly cover up of the blood scandal . of the blood scandal. >> here's the telegraph. it's quoting the prime minister calling the revelations of the blood inquiry a day of shame for the british state. >> make guilty, face justice, demands the mirror. amid the fallout from the infected blood inquiry . inquiry. >> well, let's take a look at that story in more depth. and the rest of the stories. making the rest of the stories. making the papers today in the company of alex armstrong and clare balding. good morning. good morning. sorry we didn't have very long last time because we had the government pop up, but alex, let's start. actually, we've got a breaking story. literally as we speak, this funeral of the iranian president has already begun in tabriz. in iran, we have pictures coming in of that, but it is also making the front of some of the papers. this is the guardian front page, and you can see five days of mourning have been declared in

the country following that helicopter crash on sunday night , and it took them some time to establish where it was due to terrible weather and lots of questions about whether there were any survivors. but tragically, no , the foreign tragically, no, the foreign minister and indeed the president on board that helicopter. and as i say, that funeral getting underway. >> alex. yeah, well, i certainly won't be shedding any tears for this man. he's dubbed the butcher of tehran for a reason. he headed up the death committee that executed at least 5000 political prisoners. and of course, he oversees one of the worst regimes in the world that executes lgbt people stones women. i certainly have no sympathy for the man whatsoever. and anyone else involved in the unfortunate crash. and i think the world's a better place without him, frankly. but i know that there are many people who will be mourning him today, particularly i saw on online quite a few people, you know , quite a few people, you know, sad of his death due to the, you know, being a big supporter of palestine and hamas, but as i said , i don't think there'll be

said, i don't think there'll be many tears shed that being said, it's a it's a long funeral period. i think it's five days, five days, five days of national mourning . and they'll be mourning. and they'll be installing the temporary president. i think they have elections within 15 days of his death. so we'll see who the new president will be after that. i suspect it will be another hardliner, though. >> well, the smart money is on the ayatollahs own son. yes. >> interesting that, isn't it, in this election. >> so we'll have to see how that all plays out, claire, let's take a look at the telegraph, shall we? page two. yeah. and the water. this is this ongoing situation in south—west devon. this, water crisis down there. put two people in hospital, i know it. >> where's this going to finish and where is it going to stop? south west water has said it was a damaged valve, in their pipes. that was probably the cause of the contamination. but it. i know of reported cases. i know legionnaire's is different. right. but there's something in the what people just aren't doing due diligence. that water is not being tested. it's not

being filtered. it's not being treated the way it should be. and this is the result. this is the result of dirty water. this is a result of cost cutting. this is the result of not taking care of pipes. victorian pipes are still existent in london. >> i mean, come on, you know , i >> i mean, come on, you know, i couldn't agree more with you, claire. and frankly, thank you, alec cases. it's one of the cases where i think just renationalise . these water renationalise. these water companies. yes, there is no competition in this. you know, capitalism thrives when there's competition and there is no competition. it's a franchise. and frankly, they have failed consumers time and time and time again. and we're seeing constant outbreaks of things like legionnaires. and of course, we saw the sewage dumping. and now we've got this parasite that's got people in hospital. yeah. i mean, who's getting value for money. >> and while that the bills still rise symbol, don't you think of broken britain that now people in devon can't even drink the water? what is happening to this country? mad. i don't know if i'm correct in somebody at home will be able to tell me if i'm wrong, but i seem to remember that there's some rule

with these water companies that they. they have to give 20 years nofice they. they have to give 20 years notice before they can be renationalised, unless they get declared bankrupt. crazy. i think that might be why thames water are going the way that they are, because that has been mooted for a few times now. >> bankruptcy and water companies have been merged, shall we say, in some sentences, what a pressure on on the public purse to try and salvage these companies. this isn't just a uk issue because the increased cases of legionnaires is actually over europe. so anyone thatis actually over europe. so anyone that is going away for this bank houday that is going away for this bank holiday weekend, regardless of where you're going, please, when you go into the shower, run it for about five minutes to make sure everything is fine with a really hot temperature and get that tank flowing. >> we used . >> we used. >> we used. >> it used to be a case where you could go british water. you know, you could just drink it out of the tap. i mean, there'll be, i bet you the sales of bottled water go going through the roof at the moment, aren't they? >> bea they? >> be a big ask should it, that the water that comes out of your tap is drinkable? >> couldn't agree more, ellie. couldn't agree more .

couldn't agree more. >> crazy. we have to say that we're going crazy. >> yeah, you used to go to places like spain and go, well, don't don't drink the water there. now, i would advise people for spain coming here, say by. >> do you know where this got the best water out of the tap scotland. it has ellie. it really has minerals. do you know why that is? because the snp have got nothing to do with it. >> it works and it's gorgeous andifs >> it works and it's gorgeous and it's soft and you don't need to descale your appliances. >> claire, let's talk about self—driving cars on the roads by 2026. >> no thank you . no i'm not. no >> no thank you. no i'm not. no thank you. yeah. and when we were talking about women drivers the other week and i said, oh, women, women can't drive. >> remember controversially because i am the exception. well, i am also uber driver. yeah. >> are you know, oh can i say can i actually make the case for self—driving cars because i'm actually pro this and i'll tell i'll tell you why, i'll tell you tell you why. >> you tell us why, alex. you tell us because look, at the end of the day, there's a there's actually most of deaths in the world are in the world.

>> in this country, a lot of deaths are caused by dangerous driving, but they're also caused by drunk drivers and some. and some automated vehicles would would lead to thousands less deaths a year. but you're also going to get less blockages on the road because they're basically like a computer. >> i don't trust computers with my life. >> do you trust human beings more than you trust the computer? do you really? >> because instinct will kick in. >> alex. >> alex. >> well, instinct kicks in and then you swerve into the road and you accidentally kill someone. >> you just belt up. you just belt up. >> i'm gonna. i'm gonna defend it . it. >> i'm gonna you. >> i'm gonna you. >> because i do think this will save lives. >> the reason we're in this. can you can you drive a car, alex? >> yes, i can, yeah. >>— >> yes, i can, yeah. >> are you old enough? >> are you old enough? >> i'm innocent. i'm 33. i'm more than capable . more than capable. >> but the way that it works at the moment, these self—driving cars is somebody still has to be sat in the driver's seat. but you just sit like this, but you can't actually be on your phone or anything. you have to stay focused. i actually think that's it's hard. >> very difficult. yeah. >> very difficult. yeah. >> you just have to sit still and focus, but you can't actually drive. >> yeah i agree point. well

thank you. >> i enjoy enjoy your trip in to london for a change rather than being beeped at and having to worry which which lane you're merging in. you can't drive in london. >> that's why you've got taxis or buses or tubes. >> but imagine if they were automated. all those cars and you'd actually get far less traffic, far less pollution and you and quite frankly, far less believe you brought the pollution ward into this. >> alex. >> alex. >> come on. >>- >> come on. >> i'm going to get slammed for this one. you are, you are. >> when we're off. >> when we're off. >> no, because in claire's world, cars don't emit any pollutants . pollutants. >> but you think you do, said alex. right right. >> should we talk about chelsea flower show ? because you know flower show? because you know what? yesterday it was so great to see the king being dubbed the king of compost, but looking. well, chelsea looking glorious. and all of the celebrities out, i mean , none of them care about i mean, none of them care about gardening, let's be honest. but they're enjoying the sun and the sociable side of it. i mean, are you off to chelsea? noticed you've got your floral tie on? >> you know, it's completely by accident, but you know , maybe accident, but you know, maybe maybe i will take a trip down there. it does look beautiful. i've just moved near kew gardens, so i've started to

appreciate nature for the first time in my life. and. well, so this story is beautiful. and actually, of all the people that showed up, i think the king and queen are probably the most, the people who enjoy gardening the most. yeah, absolutely. >> although i believe he's a big fan of weeds. >> oh, really? >> oh, really? >> his majesty? yeah, because he's into that pluto. but apparently that's that's all the rage at chelsea now as well. and, you know, sort of the puritans aren't into it because they like, you know, organised and arranged beds. but they like, you know, organised and arranged beds . but actually and arranged beds. but actually it's all about puritans , bees it's all about puritans, bees and wild eco cultures. >> you're right. and rewilding, it's wonderful. but if you rewild in your garden. right. and i'm saying this to people who might not want to be, you know, the ardent horticulturalists , unlike us for horticulturalists, unlike us for just watch out if you are too lazy to mow your lawn and then you get to the stage where you're rewilding is overgrown. watch out for the hedgehogs. that's all i'll say. oh yes. >> especially you've got your lawnmower out. >> exactly. >> exactly. >> but it's been a childrens takeover, hasn't it? of the chelsea flower show. yeah it's

been really lovely. and that's where these nicknames came from. >> that's right. so they dubbed the king king of compost and the queen. queen of bees . so the queen. queen of bees. so the king got this on his name badge, and they had a little chuckle about it, supposedly. and then to go into this children's only area , they had to pay a forfeit area, they had to pay a forfeit of a posy of flowers with that began with the letter of their first names. so quite a sweet little story. >> yeah, it was interesting. i've been watching a bit of the documentaries about how they've been sort of putting it together, the designs that they come up with get more and more ambitious. there's one garden that's not being judged because it's put together by children. but i felt for the designer because he had to get all this inspiration from the kids and then try and make it and manifest it into an actual, tangible garden. and then there was one where they actually erected the wall of the church that faces onto piccadilly, right next to bafta. you know that famous church? yes. and he's built the entire wall. i think it's the christopher wren with the glass window and then all the gardens around it. so it's i mean, it is absolutely world class . it is. you're world class. it is. you're right. we should go. we should go . go. >> i'm going on a day trip there.

>> report live from the garden. there you go. that's not a bad job. >> izzy's already booked in. she can tell us all about it, okay, claire, let's have a look at this story in the express, shall we? this. an employee sues after being told not to breastfeed in the office. >> yeah, well, as ever, look behind the headline. and this was an employee of royal ascot racecourse, and she was doing the management. when some women leave for maternity leave, they do keeping in touch days post birth , and i don't know of any birth, and i don't know of any woman who actually brings their child in in that day, but this new mum decided to take her baby in and she was breastfeeding now. she said that at the company, then said to her it's inappropriate for you to breastfeed whilst in the office. and to be honest with you, i think it's inappropriate for parents to bring any children into the office or the workspace if they are supposed to be working because you don't have creches now. if you are breastfeeding, there are things that you can do to enable your child to remain at home so the

child to remain at home so the child can still get your feed andifs child can still get your feed and it's feed from breast milk. but it's incredibly important for mums to realise that when they are coming back to work, they are coming back to work, they need to realise that they have to have the infrastructure from the home there in place already to take care of the dynamic of having children and then going back to work . if that then going back to work. if that is the best thing for the family to do. >> necessary for them to have told her it was inappropriate. i mean, fair enough. you don't think that babies should be coming in for the cape and touch day? it's the exception rather than the rule. the baby is still being breastfed. can't we just relax and let the woman do what is completely natural and feed her own child? it is, and i agree with you and i am such a proponent of breastfeeding. >> i did it for my own for six months and i would urge any woman who has a baby if they can, to breastfeed because it's better for mum and baby, but when you're going back to work, if you choose to go back to work each day, i know , i know, each day, i know, i know, isabel, but still it's bringing the child into a work

environment. you know, the way health and safety is now in a workplace, you can't do anything. you can barely walk over a cable unless. oh, no, it has to be covered. so it's not necessarily the right thing to do. i would say in certain jobs. >> well, let us know what you think about that one. gbnews.com/yoursay, alex, it's a real shame, isn't it? we're talking about the weather. yeah, it was lovely and hot, wasn't it? >> oh, it's been i think we've had summer now. all come to it. that's probably. >> it had 48 hours. that's that's. >> yeah. well a couple of weekends and that's just somewhere over guys. >> yeah. back to the misery. so. yeah. well, the island is about to get the beautiful weather that we've just had, so they're going to be loving it up over there . but our days are coming there. but our days are coming to an end. >> unfortunately. >> unfortunately. >> no, no don't listen to the daily express because i was reading yesterday in the daily star that we have a heat dome next. >> oh, we love heat dome. we love comes up with the heat . love comes up with the heat. >> were the star loves the weather, doesn't it? so i'm i'm living for the heat dome next week. it's half term. the kids really deserve a sunny half term

term, no better time to have a heat dome over the country. >> i have a heat dome, a heat wall, whatever they want to call it. i have any of it. if it's just not this news that supposedly we're going to get the peak of 22 degrees, and then we're going to have thundery. i quite like thunder, actually. it's quite thundery. >> it's good fun if you're inside. yeah. >> well no you lovely. you don't want to be outside. no. >> you'd be fine. but thundery downpours are on the cards from tuesday which i think that means this tuesday. >> today , i don't know it says tuesday. >> not so this is i can't dress this weather. it's too confusing. >> i know you need an umbrella. >> i know you need an umbrella. >> i've got an a sleeveless dress today and trainers because i thought it was going to be 20 degrees and i actually needed brolly and a parka. >> well, it's probably going to be warm out today, but it's going to be that horrible muggy temperature. you know, if you have fortune like me, have to get on the tube. you're like sweating in there even though there's no sun outside. >> well, just spare a thought for those poor gardeners who've had to try and keep all those plants alive through that sweltering heat yesterday, which is no joke. in direct sun. then all the thunder and storms for the next three days, and then still keep it looking glorious

come friday, saturday. >> but we've got a bank holiday. normally we define the bank houday normally we define the bank holiday by the weather and normally when it is bad weather, we know it is a bank holiday, so it's quite confusing. i think really, to be fair. >> but we have hope for the end of the week. >> we do. >> we do. >> we do. >> we always have. he goes to chelsea, she'll have the sunshine. >> so yeah, that'll be handy. >> so yeah, that'll be handy. >> isabel is the sunshine. oh she don't know about that. >> but thank you very much. you're welcome, alex armstrong. thank you. pleasure. we'll have more from both of them just after 8:30. but we've been doing our own little take on what's going on with the weather. let's get the professional from the met office involved. here's alex burkill with your weather. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boiler is sponsors of weather on . gb news. weather on. gb news. >> this morning here's your latest gb news. weather update brought to you by the met office. there's the chance of some heavy, persistent rain, particularly across eastern parts, tomorrow. but through today we're talking about showers. we've already seen some showers. we've already seen some showers developing , especially showers developing, especially across parts of england, but these are going to become more

widespread, more frequent and pretty heavy as we go through the day. there's also the risk of some thunder, especially across parts of northern ireland and southwest england . and southwest england. elsewhere, there will be quite a few showers around. also, some bright or sunny spells and in any sunshine it should feel relatively warm with temperatures peaking in the mid to high teens, possibly just about getting into the low 20 celsius. more showers to come as we head towards this evening, and they are going to be pretty heavy for some of us, even across parts of scotland, though they won't be especially frequent here. we could see some downpours . decent amount of downpours. decent amount of bright or sunny spells around though towards eastern parts. holding on to a bit more cloud here. plenty of showers though across parts of northern ireland likely to see some disruption , likely to see some disruption, especially on the roads. could be a bit of a surface water flooding . also plenty of showers flooding. also plenty of showers across many parts of england and wales, and here they could be heavy, possibly even thundery too. so do take care, especially if you're heading to on the roads . as we go through roads. as we go through overnight tuesday into

wednesday, we are going to see more showery rain developing and there's the potential for some more persistent rain to kick in across eastern parts as we go towards dawn on wednesday as well. quite a bit of cloud for many of us, so temperatures aren't going to drop a huge amount, but there could be some murkiness for some of us, some mist, some fog patches, a bit of low cloud in some spots . low cloud in some spots. tomorrow the big talking point will be the heavy, persistent rain . a bit of uncertainty as to rain. a bit of uncertainty as to how far west this is going to spread , but it is across eastern spread, but it is across eastern areas that it's most likely to be pretty wet here. some heavy, persistent rain. meanwhile further west it's looking slightly drier, but some showery outbreaks . some bright or sunny outbreaks. some bright or sunny spells though, and temperatures looking similar to today by. >> looks like things are heating up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on . gb news. weather on. gb news. >> 2024 a battleground year. >> 2024 a battleground year. >> the year the nation decides as the parties gear up their

>> the people and institutions in which we place our trust failed in the most harrowing and devastating way . devastating way. >> yes, the prime minister has now issued a fulsome apology , now issued a fulsome apology, and today we expect to hear details of the compensation package to be paid to victims and their families. find out more with me very soon. the us sides with israel as benjamin netanyahu expresses his disgust after the international criminal court chief prosecutor calls for him to be arrested . him to be arrested. >> grooming gangs crushed as a new, dedicated police task force makes hundreds of arrests protecting thousands of victims . protecting thousands of victims. >> and the prime minister is in vienna today as he promotes his rwanda scheme, calling for support from his european counterparts . counterparts. >> plus, it's a royal bloom as king charles and queen camilla visit the chelsea flower show, much to the public's delight. and cameron walker will be here with all your royal news in just

infected. >> this is a day of shame for the british state. today's report shows a decades long moral failure at the heart of our national life, from the national health service to the civil service, to ministers in successive governments . at every successive governments. at every level, the people and institutions in which we place our trust failed in the most harrowing and devastating way . harrowing and devastating way. they failed the victims and their families , and they failed their families, and they failed this country . this country. >> while the inquiry was announced by theresa may back in 2017 and began in 2018, it handed down its final report yesterday , offering a damning yesterday, offering a damning indictment on decades of mismanagement . mismanagement. >> well, today, the government is set to outline a compensation package to victims, with reports of £10 billion being earmarked. >> well, joining us now is gb news political correspondent, olivia utley. good to see you this morning, olivia. and it's all over the front pages this

morning, rightly so. britain's day of shame . day of shame. >> well, absolutely. this is an astonishingly bad day for every government . back since the government. back since the 1980s, no government has done enough or anything really, until this point to rectify the damage done to those victims of the infected blood scandal. we heard that fulsome apology from rishi sunak yesterday. that's something which victims have been calling for a long time now. and today we're going to hear details of the compensation package. now, jeremy hunt, the chancellor, has said that he will pay whatever it costs to the victims of the scandal, and it's thought to be up to £10 billion. we don't know the details on how that money is going to be paid out, who exactly it's going to be paid out to, because of course, there is a huge, huge ripple effect with a scandal like this, with the children and sometimes the children of children being affected by it. we don't know who it's going to be paid to, but we do know it is going to be

a lot of money. the problem, though, is after all of this time, after all of this, terrible inaction on the part of so many not only ministers but also government departments , also government departments, major parts of the nhs, will anything be enough to help those victims who have suffered so much for so long? >> olivia, there are also questions about what justice should look like . some people should look like. some people suggesting that some of the individuals named in the report, like lord clarke, ken clarke of the conservatives, who was health secretary and is accused of having repeated a number of lies about contaminated blood. people are talking about whether or not he should have his peerage stripped. and i think it's the mayor, the labour mayor, andy burnham, talking about corporate manslaughter for the vast swathes of whitehall in all of this . all of this. >> well, exactly. there is definitely a feeling today that heads must roll, as we felt with the post office scandal to the report, singled out various ministers over the course of many, many governments dating

back since the 1980s, who brian longstaff identified as having not done enough. ken clarke, who was the health secretary in one of the conservative governments , of the conservative governments, has been singled out and there are calls for him to lose his peerage over it. tony blair, to, said at one point that he didn't think that a investigation was worthwhile. well, the investigation has now been done and it clearly has been worthwhile because that is what has prompted this apology and this compensation package . talk this compensation package. talk about corporate manslaughter as well. obviously, it's really , well. obviously, it's really, really difficult to identify after all this time. exactly who what group of people was responsible for the initial mistake and cover up that has led to all of this? but there is a feeling definitely that something needs to be done and that someone needs to be punished. >> okay. >> okay. >> olivia ottley there for us in westminster. thank you very much indeed. >> well, we're joined in the studio this morning now by one

of the victims of the infected blood scandal, jacqui britton . blood scandal, jacqui britton. and thank you very much for coming in and telling us your story. you were giving birth in 1983 when you had to have a blood transfusion, and that's when you were infected. but it took until 2011 before you realised what had happened. just fill us in on the first indian nafions fill us in on the first indian nations that something wasn't quite right , nations that something wasn't quite right, i had the transfusions in 83, i was following and had ill health throughout, but the doctors neven throughout, but the doctors never, ever put two and two together. i had, three major operations, one a year, for three years, and i always told them i had a transfusion on the at risk register, and nobody questioned the at risk time. nobody questioned anything , and nobody questioned anything, and in 2011, i felt so poorly . i in 2011, i felt so poorly. i went to my gp and he did blood tests and he phoned me at home to tell me my liver was in a really bad way, needed more

blood tests, phoned again at home to say, you've got hep c, can we test your blood now for hiv? i luckily dodged that bullet, but because it had been 30 years untreated, i've got cirrhosis of the liver . so i go cirrhosis of the liver. so i go every six months for cancer scans . oh, gosh. scans. oh, gosh. >> yesterday must have been such an emotional day for you. how do you feel now , like we've been you feel now, like we've been through the runner emotionally and physically, we've all had to tell our stories because it was important for our dead that the stories got out there. and it's only by, getting the stories out there. i think we've come to this point because, as i say, we were classed as liars by politicians for decades , so they politicians for decades, so they wouldn't have come to this conclusion willingly. they were brought kicking and screaming by us. >> us. >> yeah. i mean, the words of the report yesterday were really

damning, weren't they? things like reports of a catalogue of errors, each on its own with serious taken together they are a calamity in talking about a downright deception by nhs and government that this was not an accident, that department of health workers deliberately destroyed documents. i mean, what's your overriding feeling ? what's your overriding feeling? is it anger? is it sadness , or is it anger? is it sadness, or is it just exhaustion or all of those, to read in black and white? >> yesterday when i had the report that, in 1965, germany was the donations, the blood donations, if they were high levels of a liver enzyme, they were taking them out. that was in 1965. i was infected in 83 when i first came into this. naively, i thought there were no tests. nobody knew. so it wasn't anybody's fault . they knew from anybody's fault. they knew from the 40s when soldiers came back from war that they were had

transfusions, were going yellow, and that they should have been monitored. if somebody had monitored. if somebody had monitored me after my transfusion, i wouldn't have cirrhosis , and the point that cirrhosis, and the point that i started campaigning is i knew that i wouldn't have been the only one that was living a death sentence and not knowing. so i wanted to get it out there to look for the undiagnosed victims . and now they're coming forward asking for tests that i know this is almost impossible to answer because it is a scandal and it is shameful. >> but what does justice look like for you now? what would you like for you now? what would you like to see happen next? >> the apology was a good start and i was there and it felt heartfelt . and it was across the heartfelt. and it was across the board from all parties, which it needed to be, because they've all had a hand in this over 3 to 4 decades. and, i really feel that a national memorial and a day of memory vie for all of our dead, because we all died, were

dying at two a week, but because it was a not a collective 3000 deadin it was a not a collective 3000 dead in one go, we've all gone under the radar , and our dead under the radar, and our dead need to be recognised. and their names need to be put somewhere so that the families can go and reflect and that the whole nafion reflect and that the whole nation knows our story and it never gets forgotten. >> jackie, there's going to be talk today about compensation. we're being told £10 billion has been earmarked at this point. how on earth do you ever compensate somebody for what's happened to you through no fault of your own? i don't know, but have you been advised on what a reasonable figure to expect would be? do you have faith that the compensation that you will get will equate to some of the harm that you have suffered ? harm that you have suffered? >> well, obviously, people that have lost the ultimate, they've lost family members. you can never compensate for that myself. there's different scandals going on. we were

offered people that were dying 100,000 interim post office different scandal. they were offered a far greater amount interim. so there needs to be, parity across the board when these inquiries come out and compensation comes out, these inquiries come out and compensation comes out , whatever compensation comes out, whatever happens, they need to give people that have lost houses and that can't get life insurance, they need to give them enough to try and live the best life they can with what they've got left. >> there's talk this morning of sir ken clarke, former health secretary, losing his peerage. victims are saying that he gaslit them , saying that hiv gaslit them, saying that hiv couldn't be transmitted by a blood . and andy burnham, labour blood. and andy burnham, labour mayor, talking about corporate manslaughter charges for some whitehall departments. is that something that would bring you any sense of justice? do you think after watching him give evidence he's a vile human being

and absolutely he needs the disrespect that he showed us on that day of giving evidence? >> he absolutely needs to have it removed , and he's not the it removed, and he's not the only one either. he, you know, this scandal is a scandal within a scandal. within a scandal. the scandal happened when we were infected, but it's gone on 30 and 40 years because of politicians and civil servants and that needs to be. they need to be brought to book for that . to be brought to book for that. >> just just finally, do you trust the nhs? presumably you come into contact with them all the time for treatment, for cirrhosis, for checks for cancer. >> cancen >> do you ever have that moment of thinking , i don't know if of thinking, i don't know if i want you to put your hands on me i >> -- >> it's not em >> it's not myself that has a lot of dealing my daughter, she's a renal patient. i would put her on dialysis six days a week and she's just had a transplant. pancreas and kidney in in october. so it's like every time she had a blood transfusion, we take photos of

the blood bag, so that if anything happens, and at one time, she had a transfusion . and time, she had a transfusion. and the doctors, when i went in there and said, why? and she they told me she hasn't had a transfusion. and i got the picture. i said she had a transfusion. don't tell me that. she hasn't. wrong woman. wrong day, infected blood transfusion is a big deal in our family. so any blood is monitored, so, yeah , i mean, there's still lessons to be learned, and that's imperative that that comes out of this report as well . of this report as well. >> well, jackie britton, it's really good to see you this morning. and i'm glad that the pubuc morning. and i'm glad that the public now know what you have known for many, many years. thank you. thank you. >> let us know how it all goes with the compensation journey and whether or not you are satisfied with how it goes as well. my very best. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you for sharing your story with us to royal matters. >> now , the princess of wales >> now, the princess of wales has said she's excited by a new report on prioritising early

childhood because , as we know childhood because, as we know that she's closely associated with, yes, the task force findings claim that the uk could reap £45.5 billion in economic benefits if firms prioritise early childhood. well, let's talk about this now with our royal correspondent cameron walker. good morning cameron. good morning. am i suppose it's character catherine isn't it? to say she wasn't doesn't want to distract from from this report by sort of people talking about her health. but we should start probably by saying she said she's not feeling well enough to come and talk about this in public, but sort of saying she's watching it, keeping a close eye from behind closed doors. >> yeah, absolutely. this should not be seen as a return to work by the princess of wales, but i have been told she's a read the report and be been briefed on it. but this all stems really from her work. when she started being a working member of the royal family, where she was working closely with people suffering from addiction, mental health problems. and what she found is all of these issues tend to stem from a poor start in life. so the first five years of a child's life. so in january 2023, she set up shaping us this

awareness campaign for the early years, two months later, she convened a the business task force. so eight members with big businesses across the uk including ikea, natwest, deloitte . so there's not many deloitte. so there's not many people who can convene the bosses of these big companies. this there. but she did and they have written this report setting out how businesses, big or small, whether it's the coffee shopin small, whether it's the coffee shop in wolverhampton or ikea , shop in wolverhampton or ikea, can make small differences to their employees to help them support young children growing up and over a generation. that could add, as they claim , more could add, as they claim, more than £40 billion to the uk economy each year. now, i spoke we spoke to peter grigg yesterday . he's we spoke to peter grigg yesterday. he's a chair of home—start uk, a charity which supports young families. let's hear what he said about the princess's role in this. it's been a real driving force behind the report and everything it's done and when we've spent time with the royal foundation, what it does is it reminds everyone that this is really important work and early childhood matters, that more businesses should get involved, that more

charities are out there for people who want to do more to support families and children. >> so it's been a wonderful experience driving force behind this. >> as the princess of wales. but of course it's a big task, isn't it? that's a lot of change that would need to happen. so it's going to happen over a long penod going to happen over a long period of time. and the princess cannot lobby government. she you can't she can't be political. so it's really i think she's trying to encourage the private sector to encourage the private sector to do as much as they can and support and create societal change. >> but as you were saying, who else could bring together that many companies, that many conglomerates together under one one roof? it is, of course, the princess of wales. so wonderful news for her. we hear that she's excited by that. and also so wonderful to see the king and queen yesterday at chelsea, and especially with the children and their special nicknames. >> absolutely. and of course, the king is now the new patron of the royal horticultural society. he sets up the chelsea flower show, taking after his mother, who had had the title for 70 years, queen elizabeth ii. yeah, the schoolchildren in the no adults allowed garden.

the king and queen were both given badges. the king had a king of compost badge, the queen had a queen of bees badge. of course, it was all about the environment and the rest of it. sullivan primary school is the school children they met. the queen even revealed she'd she'd watched bridgerton as well dunng watched bridgerton as well during the visit as well, which obviously new season is coming out, so she's a fan of that . and out, so she's a fan of that. and i think it's just lovely seeing the king, particularly out and about. he is still, of course, battling cancer . about. he is still, of course, battling cancer. he's still having treatment, but he clearly is very determined. i think, to carry out as many public duties as possible. and we have seen in the last couple of weeks him doing more and more, ramping up these engagements as we get towards the summer. so we should treat this perhaps as a bit of a positive sign. and you can just tell i think, by looking at the pictures here, of how happy he is to be out and about, particularly in the lovely weather. >> yeah, well, he's in his element there. he absolutely loves chelsea. there have been previous years when we've seen catherine and the children, haven't we, at chelsea, and maybe we'll see them back there

next year, but lovely to see them, as you say. and i like that they call her queen of the bees, not queen bee. yeah. queen bees, not queen bee. yeah. queen bee is a bit more sort of pointy, isn't it? but that's fabulous. okay, cameron, thanks very much. >> thank you very much indeed. and you can tell us. well, i think that the king is buoyed by those sorts of visits, isn't he loves being with people. and as you say, in his element. >> yeah, he totally shares his mother's views that he needs to be seen to be believed. yes it's part of the monarchy is that he needs to be out and about, which is why he's been so frustrated by having had this cancer diagnosis so early on in his reign. but anyway, great to see him out. and about now, 8:18, let's take a look at some other stories coming to the newsroom this morning. well, pictures coming to in gb news this morning from iran. thousands are lining the streets of tabriz as the funeral proceedings for the president, ebrahim raisi, get underway. following that fatal helicopter crash on sunday, the president was among eight killed when the aircraft got into trouble due to foggy weather conditions. today marks the first of five days of public mourning with national elections due to be held next month .

due to be held next month. >> israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has hit back after the chief prosecutor at the international criminal court called for an arrest warrant to be issued against him for war crimes in gaza, calling the move a moral outrage. netanyahu rejected the comparison between israel and hamas. earlier, we spoke to founder of the sanctuary foundation, doctor chris kandiah . chris kandiah. >> i think this prosecutor has been brave and is doing the right thing. lady justice, when she's portrayed in statues , is she's portrayed in statues, is normally blind, holding the scales of justice. that means we should be not. regarding the countries that are involved , but countries that are involved, but looking at where the crimes are being committed. and that's the most important question. >> the prime minister is in vienna today for talks with the austrian chancellor about illegal migration. the pair are expected to agree that designated designating safe third countries like rwanda is a solution to preventing small boat journeys. >> a woman in her 50s has been

mauled to death by her own xl bully dogs at her home in hornchurch, east london. she was treated by emergency services on monday afternoon but was pronounced dead at the scene. the two xl bullies were both registered following the crackdown on the breed back in february, and have now been seized by police. >> just saying. these xl bullies xl bullies stories just continue to shock and oh, i mean the fact that the dog was registered just goes to show that they still remain such a risk in this -—— —— let us know what you country. let us know what you think about that. i mean, absolutely horrendous for that to happen in your own home from your own dog. awful for the paramedics that had to attend the scene, awful all round. just such a dangerous breed. let us know if you, well, what you think about xl bullies and whether or not we've got a grip of this crisis in this country. gbnews.com forward slash your say. >> well, the deaths that keep happening suggest that perhaps

maybe we don't. and my heart sinks every time i see that somebody else has died as a result of an xl bully attack. but yes do keep your thoughts coming in on that. we've been talking about the weather all morning. haven't we been very british about it. we've been very british moaning about being told there's a heat dome next week for half term, which is something to look forward to. >> but in the meantime i think there's quite a lot of brolly action going to be taking place. alex burkill has a more sort of scientific forecast for you. brolly action. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on gb news. >> morning. here's your latest gb news, weather update brought to you by the met office. there's the chance of some heavy , persistent rain, particularly across eastern parts, tomorrow, but through today we're talking about showers. we've already seen some showers developing, especially across parts of england, but these are going to become more widespread, more frequent and pretty heavy as we go through the day. there's also the risk of some thunder, especially across parts of northern ireland and southwest england . elsewhere, there will

england. elsewhere, there will be quite a few showers around. also, some bright or sunny spells and in any sunshine it should feel relatively warm with temperatures peaking in the mid to high teens, possibly just about getting into the low 20 celsius. more showers to come as we head towards this evening, and they are going to be pretty heavy for some of us, even across parts of scotland, though they won't be especially frequent here. we could see some downpours , a decent amount of downpours, a decent amount of bright or sunny spells around though towards eastern parts. holding on to a bit more cloud here. plenty of showers though across parts of northern ireland likely to see some disruption , likely to see some disruption, especially on the roads. could be a bit of surface water flooding. also plenty of showers across many parts of england and wales, and here they could be heavy, possibly even thundery too. so do take care, especially if you're heading to on the roads . as we go through roads. as we go through overnight tuesday into wednesday, we are going to see more showery rain developing and there's the potential for some more persistent rain to kick in across eastern parts as we go towards dawn on wednesday as well. quite a bit of cloud for

many of us, so temperatures aren't going to drop a huge amount, but there could be some murkiness for some of us, some mist, some fog patches, a bit of low cloud in some spots. tomorrow the big talking point will be the heavy, persistent rain . a bit of uncertainty as to rain. a bit of uncertainty as to how far west this is going to spread, but it is across eastern areas that it's most likely to be pretty wet here. some heavy, persistent rain. meanwhile further west it's looking slightly drier, but some showery outbreaks . some bright or sunny outbreaks. some bright or sunny spells though, and temperatures looking similar to today by that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers, sponsors of weather on . boilers, sponsors of weather on. gb news. >> now it's time for the great british giveaway! your chance to win £20,000 in cash in time for summer. so have a think about what you'd like to spend it on. would it be a dream holiday? get the garden done? >> what would you spend it on? >> what would you spend it on? >> a holiday i'd quite like to go on a yacht. well, yes, that would be nice, wouldn't it?

i >> welcome back to breakfast. it's 828. now. people have been warned to report . have warned to warned to report. have warned to report sightings of asian hornets this summer. as a record number was seen last year. >> yeah, well, whilst these creatures with yellow leg ends are not too dangerous to humans, they are a significant threat to honeybees and insect pollinators, which we know are worth protecting and ever so important for all of our ecosystems and all of our well—being . well—being. >> well, joining us now is the director of fundraising and communications at buglife, paul hetherington, to tell us a bit more about these asian hornets. should we be concerned by this ?

should we be concerned by this? >> yes, we should be very concerned. this is a non—native species that is almost certainly now got itself established within the uk. a single nest could take out an entire honeybee hive in a day. a single one of these hornets could take out an entire bumblebee nest in a day. so they are very, very worrying for the impact they could have on our pollinators. >> they frighten bees so that they don't even come out of their their, i don't want to call it a nest, but you call it a hive, which is just awful, just explain why we need to protect our bees and why it would be worse if we had all of them replaced by these asian hornets . hornets. >> bees are important pollinators , and without bees, pollinators, and without bees, we would lose most of our fruit and vegetables. or we'd have to pay and vegetables. or we'd have to pay somebody at least the minimum wage to go out and hand pollinate them. and that would be costing over £2 billion extra

a year to get english apples and engush a year to get english apples and english pears and plums and even things like carrots, which you don't initially think of as needing a pollinator. so that's why pollinators are so important. we can't afford to lose them all. we know we've got massive insect declines in this country as it is the latest bugs matter survey, citizen science survey looking at insect numbers has shown a 78% fall since 2004. so last thing we want is these asian hornets coming in here and making bigger indentations into things like our bee population . things like our bee population. >> paul, what can we do to protect our bees . protect our bees. >> we've got to be vigilant , the >> we've got to be vigilant, the problem is these these asian hornets can travel quite a long distance initially to set up a nest, they are established now throughout france so they can hop the channel and particularly places like kent are vulnerable to it. but it almost certain that they are now breeding over here. so they could be travelling 30 odd miles to set up a nest once they set up a

nest, they generally don't go more than about 500m, for, for their foraging . so particularly their foraging. so particularly people who've got beehives should be on the lookout for them. they are slightly smaller than our european hornet, but the distinctive thing is they've got these yellow feet, if you like, at the ends of their legs are bright yellow. if anyone sees them, they must report them, because it's very important that someone gets out there, because what we want to do is to destroy the nest, not just kill the individual hornet. if you kill the individual hornet, they're not going be able to trace it back to the nest. and they really need to find where the nests are in order to keep them under control . it's going to be a really hard and tough battle to deal with it, because originally they're from china, but they came over, i believe, in the packing case got themselves established in france, have spread up france and are now crossing the channel. >> gosh awful, awful, awful, i have to say, our audience are absolutely fantastic. they love all matters related to gardening. a lot of them are keen enthusiasts for their veg

patches. so people will be watching and listening to this with interest. and we've been saying they should screenshot a picture of the asian hornet on their phone so that they can checkit their phone so that they can check it if they're out in the garden having a look, but who should they be reporting it to if they do positively? id one of these little monkeys. >> so there is actually an asian hornet hotline app you can get on your phone to basically report it with. so that is probably the easiest and best way to do it, but you know, if you let us know at bug life we will pass the information on to the right place. if you let the british beekeepers know, they will pass it on to the right place, but it really basically needs to go into the government departments and they will send out inspectors to try and trace the nests and to destroy them. >> paul hetherington, director of fundraising and communications at buglife. good to see you this morning. thank you very much. >> let us know if you've seen any asian hornets in your garden at all. lots of people saying that they've definitely noticed large looking hornets, but they weren't sure if they were asian or not. so i think it's really

important the conversation has started. i was at a village fete, quintessential british, village fete two weekends ago, and they had a stall just describing to everybody what these asian hornets look like, and lots of people being educated about it and being taught what to do, because it's not enough just to panic and run away. you have to let the authorities know, because otherwise all of our bees are going to be frightened to come out of their hives and decimated. i can't believe the distances that they travel 30 miles. >> they can come across the channel from france. we just heard there from paul hetherington. but there is the app hetherington. but there is the app on your phone, the asian hornet app. who knew? there's an app hornet app. who knew? there's an app for everything. >> i will be getting that so you can track them and log them. >> if you do see them, so do let us know. >> have you seen any gbnews.com/yoursay still to come? >> our reporter, charlie peters has an update on the grooming gang

next. >> it's 837. a serious story now

. dedicated police task force has been set up to bring down grooming gangs and has supported police forces in england and wales, making hundreds of arrests in its first year. >> well, in the last 12 months, the crack team of expert investigators and analysts has helped police forces to arrest over 550 suspects and identify and protect over 4000 victims, and protect over 4000 victims, and also build up robust cases to get justice for these appalling crimes. >> well, joining us in the studio now is gb news reporter charlie peters. you can tell us more then about the last 12 months and what the need was really for sort of a national overview in all of this. >> well, so many police forces have struggled to deal with on street grooming, localised child sexual exploitation. it's been a scourge throughout the country and this national task force was launched last april by the prime minister, but also then home secretary suella braverman, who has said today that this is a sign of great progress, but much more needs to be done. she's also thanked for gb news shining

also thanked for gb news shining a light on this issue, because last february we released an investigative documentary looking into the grooming gangs crisis, and we found that it was ongoing in many parts of the country getting testimony from survivors and campaigners. and that review was also supported by some analysis we heard in december by the police watchdog , december by the police watchdog, which found that of the 27 forces they assessed in england and wales, they found that four were totally inadequate and 14 had significant improvements to make. when it came to dealing with child sexual exploitation. and this national force, supported by the national police chiefs council, but also the national crime agency, does appear to be making serious steps forward. we've heard today about 550 arrests in that year of suspects supporting about 40 investigations. but also, crucially, the training. lots of officers, over 400 officers have now been trained as part of this process, and that comes as part of it gathering a complex and

organised database, because in so many of these issues, an independent inquiry into child sexual abuse found in october 2022 that all of the forces were struggling with data collection and many of the sort of headline scandals with the grooming gangs crisis. telford rochdale, rotherham the police forces were not recording the ethnicity of the perpetrators for fear of being considered racist, for fear of a political correctness or a racial nervousness that being prioritised over the protection of women and young girls. that's appalling. and so that had to be stamped out. and that's part of the reason why this data has been prioritised so efficiently. >> have lessons been learned then from rotherham and from telford and from rochdale, or is it too premature to say that progress has been made? >> all the campaigners that we speak to, they pretty much say the same thing every time . the same thing every time. whenever there is a step forward like this, they welcome it. of course, but they say that there are miles and miles still to go . are miles and miles still to go. there are many more steps forward that have to be taken. the arrests are welcome, but for

many decades, of course, this crisis just went under the carpet and it was subtly and quite chillingly covered up in a rather pervasive manner . it rather pervasive manner. it wasn't the sort of sort of deliberate destruction of information and evidence that you might see in some other scandals. it was more of a if we don't look and don't get involved, it isn't happening. we also saw not just that political correctness and the avoidance of tackling, in many cases, majority pakistani perpetrator , majority pakistani perpetrator, but also a sexist mentality that the girls were not victims, that many of the people caught up in these appalling gangs of on street child sexual exploitation were in some way involved in contributing to their own victimhood. that mentality has to be swept away. that's a core part of this campaigning work that they're doing. and the national crime agency, britain's fbi, have been a leading force in achieving that. >> okay, charlie, we say thank you very much for that. and we cross straight to vienna in austria, where the prime minister is speaking. let's take

something we need to put on the eu's agenda as well. >> and that's important because only if we manage to do that , we only if we manage to do that, we will manage to first of all, battling organised crime by really destroying their business model , if you really destroying their business model, if you will, because asylum proceedings in safe third countries means that the business model of profit forcing people to get them within the borders of the european union or the uk, no longer applies. that promise can no longer be made if we have such proceedings, and on the other hand, we will be able to also save human lives because having asylum proceedings in safe third countries means that we don't have dangerous smuggling routes. it means put an end to death in the mediterranean or across the engush mediterranean or across the english channel. within the european union, this is still a stony path ahead of us. we've now got 15 states that are

allies to austria when it comes to this topic. and when it comes to this topic. and when it comes to pushing this change to the legal procedure in the european union, denmark is an important ally here. and with our partnership with the uk, i'm hoping that we will be successful in creating change in this process . and that's why, this process. and that's why, from the austrian point of view, we support the british path and the british model. i think it's very important. i think it's essential in fact. but of course, we've also discussed many other topics during our meeting because our world is becoming increasingly insecure. we still have the russian war of aggression against ukraine, and the uk plays an important role when it comes to supporting ukraine. so we discussed the austrian position and austrian solidarity here, but we also discussed the options that we have when it comes to continuously supporting ukraine dunng continuously supporting ukraine during this difficult time. austria, as a neutral country

within the european union and also in partnership with the united kingdom. moreover we also discussed the situation in the west balkans. the uk is also a strong partner here when it comes to integrating the western balkans into the european union. when it comes to, you know, offering them a perspective and also the uk is an important partner in terms of security in this region. and that's why we have a very close cooperation with them, for which i'm very grateful. and of course, we also discussed the war in the middle east and the highly difficult situation underway there. and we both agree that the decision of the international international court of justice hasn't been very helpful in this very challenging time for israel . we challenging time for israel. we have a lot that we are still planning on doing together. we have developed a very strong

friendship, and i'm very happy that this partnership between the uk and austria has has been lifted to this new level and i will do my best in continuing this partnership and friendship. rishi, thank you so much for coming to austria and welcome once again. thank you, chancellor prime minister, you have the floor. >> well, chancellor merkel , it's >> well, chancellor merkel, it's so wonderful to be here in austria, especially after our very warm meeting that we had together last year where, as you said, we built a very strong friendship and a partnership, and it has been good to continue that dialogue with you this morning. and austria is an important partner and an important partner and an important friend for the united kingdom. last year we signed new bilateral agreements to build that partnership to strengthen our security and to tackle illegal migration. we grew our bilateral trade to £10 billion last year and today we've taken steps to deepen that relationship even further. now, as karl mentioned, we see eye to eye on many of the big challenges before us, and we're

committed to addressing them together. we're unwavering in our support for ukraine, and austria has rightly called out russia for breaking international law , expelled international law, expelled russian diplomats and given vital human korean support to the ukrainian people and now, you know, we've discussed what more we can do together on the economic front to ensure that russia's war machine is not supported . and now we've also supported. and now we've also discussed, as you heard, the middle east, where we've been working closely together already to urgently get aid in and get the hostages out . we touched on the hostages out. we touched on our concerns in balkans, bosnia and herzegovina and the work that both our nations are doing to preserve stability in the region, and again , you know, i region, and again, you know, i very much welcome austria's leadership in this area , and i'm leadership in this area, and i'm grateful to all the engagement that carl has put into that part of our continent . and of course, of our continent. and of course, in conclusion, we discussed illegal migration. this has become truly one of the defining

issues of our time. we face criminal gangs that are growing in strength across our european continent and beyond, and they're exacting a terrible human toll . people are losing. human toll. people are losing. they are exploited by these criminal gangs. and it is, of course, a threat to our stability, to the rule of law, and rightly, our citizens are demanding that their leaders, their politicians, tackle it. and that's what both carl and i are doing. and i really do want to congratulate carl on his leadership here, because he's been right on this issue for a long time in europe, in making sure that this is a topic that gets the attention that it deserves. and our joint statement today, we've committed to deepening our cooperation to end this vile trade. and what both of us agree is that business as usual won't solve this problem . we have to think this problem. we have to think creatively. we have . deterrence creatively. we have. deterrence removals to safe third countries

like the uk's pioneering rwanda scheme. and as carl said, it's increasingly clear that many other countries now agree that thatis other countries now agree that that is the approach that is required. bold, novel looking at safe country partnerships. carl was right on that a while ago, and i'm delighted that now 15 european countries together have joined in supporting that position. so we will keep increasing our shared ambition and urgency, bringing others along with us on the journey as we have, including when we meet at the european political community, which i'm proud to be hosting in blenheim palace in july . and that will be a moment july. and that will be a moment where we can take further action on all the issues that we've been discussing today. and i'll close on this last point. as you know, there's an interesting echo of history here because blenheim palace is named after the battle of blenheim in 1704, when britain and austria came together under the grand alliance to protect vienna. now

the circumstances are somewhat different today , but it is a different today, but it is a reminder that our relationship , reminder that our relationship, our friendship, our partnership has very deep roots and today's discussions show that it also has a very bright future. carl, thank you very much. thank you so much . so much. >> thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> thank you very much . >> thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> we are listening to a press conference between prime minister sunak and the chancellor in vienna , the chancellor in vienna, the austrian chancellor, talking about the defining issue of our time, which was described as migration and rishi sunak, pointing to the 15 european nafions pointing to the 15 european nations that have written now to the commission talking about the innovative and bold plan that the british have put forward with the rwanda scheme calling for tighter controls on migration. there will be plenty more analysis on that meeting between the pair right here on gb news. but in the meantime, we're going to take a look in the last few minutes that remain on this hour. what making is

making the headlines in the papers with alex armstrong and claire muldoon, alex, shall we start with you? and this is a totally different story in the daily star this morning. do we expect anything else? mark in two months is the headline. >> yes. space boffins , space >> yes. space boffins, space boffins, boffins, space boffins have said we can get to mars in two months, which is a quite a big jump in the time it would take to get to mars. normally i think it would take at least 18 months, but this is now saying or eight months, should i say. but it's now with this new nuclear powered spacecraft that the united states are building. they can get there in just two months, which would be a game changer for humans colonising, would it? >> planet i mean, i just can't get excited about all of these things. i feel like it is almost immoral with a lot of the challenges that we face as a planet. oh, okay. i understand what you're saying. significant hardships, our own problems down here. >> but, you know, if there's a mass extinction event on this planet, humanity is gone forever. so are we going to mars? >> no. >> no. >> fair enough, i get that. >> fair enough, i get that. >> not for me . claire, can we

>> not for me. claire, can we talk about venice? one of my favourite places in the world. but yes, just literally turned into a zoo, basically full of tourists. this is the problem. it's a problem. >> this is a problem that they're facing, venice, if you want to go to venice this year, you will be charged a surcharge to enter the beautiful city with the gondolas and the made famous by the beautiful pictures of canaletto. but what they found is these tariffs are not making a jot of difference. it's still really, really busy. in fact, figures are up over 10% year on yearin figures are up over 10% year on year in terms of visiting. so the city have now said we need to put a tariff, a kerb on the number of people that we actually let in are these day trippers coming from cruise ships from the adriatic? not a lot . they're from all over. and lot. they're from all over. and even those that are flying into venice, or perhaps flying to associated or. yeah, exactly. round about. and unless you stay more than one night, you will be faced with these surcharges. but no one seems to care. they are paying no one seems to care. they are paying and they're becoming exceptionally overpopulated as a result. >> the visitor's fee for travelling to london, london's busy enough . travelling to london, london's busy enough. i'd travelling to london, london's busy enough . i'd have travelling to london, london's busy enough. i'd have a travelling to london, london's busy enough . i'd have a fee for busy enough. i'd have a fee for that. rafe some money for the

caphal that. rafe some money for the capital. clean up the streets. that's not a bad idea. yeah. >> you don't think that there's enough fees to come into london, alex? come on. >> true, alex, let's take a look at this. really caught my eye this morning. actually, it's scarlett johansson, the actress, talking about chatgpt. yeah, and she couldn't believe the likeness. >> yes. >> yes. >> so there's her own voice. >> so there's her own voice. >> well, look. so chatgpt voice. now you can speak to it and it sounds so realistic. like you're talking to a human. i mean, people should just have a look at the videos online. it's incredible. but they basically copied her voice and she's suing openai, saying , you can't use my openai, saying, you can't use my likeness. they obviously initially claimed it wasn't like her, but obviously people online have gone mad saying scarlett johansson's voice, openai. and she said, no, that's not me , and she said, no, that's not me, and you shouldn't be allowed to use my likeness without my permission. you know what actor and actress friends of mine have said that this is, they think, a threat to their entire industry. >> it is. and their integrity because, you know, they strike the writer's strike, of course. and it was on the back of as well, the chatgpt for the scriptwriting , the storylines, scriptwriting, the storylines, etc. but also as alex is quite,

quite rightly pointed out, your voice. it's your own original voice. it's your own original voice . and yet it's been voice. and yet it's been uplifted and used and we don't know where it's going to go. >> voice overs, i think, can happen to our industry as well. ellie. >> it could. yeah, it could happen to newsreaders as well. anna, you do worry in an election year, perhaps not. not this election, but especially by the next one. you've got to really be awake to this because you don't know what you're seeing online is the very true. it is true, can i just choose the next row? >> just purely because in a few minutes time we will be speaking to the opposition. and, claire, you've chosen the story about labour plans to make it easier to change gender based on self—id by it's being blasted as self—id by it's being blasted as self—id by it's being blasted as self—id by the back door. yes, exactly. >> and i think we really need to be brave on this subject and keep referencing the cast report. i've picked this, editorial op ed by julie bindel in the sun, and julie has been formidable in her attempts to, you know, they say she is a gender critical. i you know, she is wonderful, in my view, in the

way she writes about this one thing. last month's cast review, she says, made clear, is that there is a case to be made for there is a case to be made for the diagnosis of gender dysphoria to make it much stricter, more specialised and objective. so why on earth is the labour party wanting to bnngin the labour party wanting to bring in self—id the catastrophic by the back door, because they're trying to put this big pr campaign on the road. >> so we're a different party, we're moving to the state, but they're not these things. well, that's that's the reality, isn't it? when you look at things like this, where it seems very done, very slyly by stealth, well, it's gender id by stealth at the moment. >> it was a leaked document that the times got hold of yesterday, but, you know, you suspect that if these ideas are being discussed behind closed doors, who knows what will happen? >> i think women are deserting, you know, the support for the labour party because of issues like this. >> okay, claire muldoon, alex armstrong, thanks for reviewing the papers for us this morning. you're very welcome. and we say good morning to alex burkill. >> looks like things are heating up . boxt boilers sponsors of

up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. >> morning. here's your latest gb news weather update brought to you by the met office. there's the chance of some heavy, persistent rain, particularly across eastern parts, tomorrow, but through today we're talking about showers. we've already seen some showers. we've already seen some showers developing, especially across parts of england, but these are going to become more widespread, more frequent and pretty heavy as we go through the day. there's also the risk of some thunder, especially across parts of northern ireland and southwest england. elsewhere, there will be quite a few showers around. also some bright or sunny spells and in any sunshine it should feel relatively warm with temperatures peaking in the mid to high teens , possibly just to high teens, possibly just about getting into the low 20 celsius. more showers to come as we head towards this evening, and they are going to be pretty heavy for some of us, even across parts of scotland, though they won't be especially frequent here. we could see some downpours, a decent amount of bright or sunny spells around though towards eastern parts

holding on to a bit more cloud here. plenty of showers though across parts of northern ireland. likely to see some disruption, especially on the roads . could be a bit of a roads. could be a bit of a surface water flooding. also plenty of showers across many parts of england and wales and here they could be heavy, possibly even thundery too. so do take care, especially if you're heading on the roads as we go through overnight tuesday into wednesday, we are going to see more showery rain developing and there's the potential for some more persistent rain to kick in across eastern parts as we go towards dawn on wednesday as well. quite a bit of cloud for many of us, so temperatures aren't going to drop a huge amount, but there could be some murkiness for some of us, some mist, some fog patches, a bit of low cloud in some spots. tomorrow the big talking point will be the heavy persistent rain, a bit of uncertainty as to how far west this is going to spread, but it is across eastern areas that it's most likely to be pretty wet here. some heavy, persistent rain. meanwhile, further west it's looking slightly drier , but some showery

slightly drier, but some showery outbreaks. some bright or sunny spells though, and temperatures looking similar to today by a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. sponsors of weather on. gb news. >> do stay with us still to come. we'll be speaking to shadow cabinet office minister

next. very good morning to you. it's 9:00 on tuesday, the 21st of may. >> you are tuned into breakfast this morning with isabel webster and ellie costello . and ellie costello. >> britain's day of shame as the infected blood inquiry exposed decades of lies, cover ups and failures . with the prime failures. with the prime minister now promising comprehensive compensation on the people and institutions in which we place our trust failed in the most harrowing and devastating way .

devastating way. >> yes, we've had a comprehensive apology now from the prime minister and today we're expecting to hear details of the compensation package which will be awarded to victims and their families . it's thought and their families. it's thought that it will be up to £10 billion. find out more with me very soon. very 500“. >> very soon. >> well, as benjamin netanyahu expresses his disgust after the international criminal court chief prosecutor calls for him to be arrested , grooming gangs to be arrested, grooming gangs have been crushed as a new, dedicated police task force makes hundreds of arrests, protecting thousands of victims . protecting thousands of victims. and the prime minister is in vienna today as he's promoting his rwanda scheme, calling for support from european counterparts. >> and it's a royal bloom as king charles and queen camilla visit the chelsea flower show , visit the chelsea flower show, much to the public's delight. angela levin is here with all the latest royal news in just a bit .

bit. >> there will be heavy thunderstorms for some of us today. thunderstorms for some of us today . then tomorrow brings the today. then tomorrow brings the potential for persistent rain. i'll have more details coming up i >> -- >> well, it imam >> well, it was the day that shamed the nation. after decades of failures, mismanagement and cover ups, the prime minister has finally apologised over the infected blood scandal, which since the 1980s has seen 3000 people die and 30,000 people infected . infected. >> and this is a day of shame for the british state. today's report shows a decades long moral failure at the heart of our national life. from the national health service to the civil service, to ministers in successive governments at every level , the people and level, the people and institutions in which we place our trust failed in the most harrowing and devastating way. they failed the victims and

their families, and they failed this country . this country. >> well, the infected blood inquiry, which was announced by theresa may back in 2017 and beganin theresa may back in 2017 and began in 2018, handed down its final report yesterday, offering a damning indictment on decades of mismanagement. >> and today the government is set to outline a compensation package to victims with reports of £10 billion being earmarked . of £10 billion being earmarked. >> well, joining us now is our political correspondent, olivia utley. good morning olivia. we expect to hear more details about how exactly this £10 billion will be apportioned. but there are also serious questions now about what justice will look like, whether or not we could see corporate manslaughter charges being brought or indeed people being stripped of their peerages . peerages. >> well, absolutely. isabel, the two things that we'll be finding out more about today is a that compensation package. we're expecting it to be £10 billion, but we don't have details on how it's going to be apportioned out to victims and their families. obviously this dates back back

into the 1980s over four decades. so there's a huge ripple effect on the number of people affected by this scandal . people affected by this scandal. and then, of course, there's the question of who will be punished for this, who will be punished for this, who will be punished for this, who will be punished for this litany of failures on the part of successive governments in the report, individual ministers are singled out. ken clarke, who was the conservative health minister, is said that he had serious failings and there are calls now for him to be stripped of his knighthood. tony blair, too, is singled out in the report. he said that he didn't think an investigation would be worthwhile, although he did sympathise , of course, with the sympathise, of course, with the victims of the scandal. then there's talk about corporate manslaughter charges that could be levelled against whole departments of the civil service and parts of the national health service. the problem , of course, service. the problem, of course, with this is it is very, very difficult to work out who originally exactly was responsible . we know who was

responsible. we know who was responsible. we know who was responsible for the cover ups and i'm sure we'll find out more in the coming days and weeks about specific ministers over the course of so many governments who should have done more to make sure that this horrific scandal was redressed . horrific scandal was redressed. but in terms of who made the mistake at the beginning, it's really, really hard to know. and that's going to be something which ministers will be looking into over the next few weeks . into over the next few weeks. >> okay. olivia huntley there for us in westminster. thank you very much indeed. >> now, the shadow minister without portfolio , nick without portfolio, nick thomas—symonds, is joining us down the line. good morning to you. good to see you. i want to start by talking about this infected blood report that we received yesterday. widespread condemnation of both the state andindeed condemnation of both the state and indeed failings within the national health service. apologies from your leader, sir keir starmer , to tony blair, keir starmer, to tony blair, your former leader also being singled out in that report for a number of failings. i just want to hear from you really where we go now and what justice looks like from your perspective and what you think we need to see done. besides the compensation, which i know you've said you

fully support . fully support. >> yes. so firstly, it's very good to join you. this morning. yesterday was a grave and profound moment for our country, decades have passed with this quite awful scandal and victims not receiving justice and the way they've had to fight for justice whilst i pay great tribute to them, the reality is they shouldn't have had to fight for justice in the way that they have now. in terms of where we go after yesterday, sir brian langstaff made clear that whilst an apology, a meaningful apology is really important and that's what both the prime minister and keir starmer gave yesterday, we do now need action. firstly, the compensation scheme, which i would expect the cabinet office minister to announce today and will get cross—party support from us to get that money out of the door as soon as possible to victims who need it, both the

infected people and indeed the people who've been affected. and you've then got a wider question of individuals of both political parties over many decades , parties over many decades, politicians who are now going to have to answer questions about their own role. and then it is also, though, in my view, about looking at what sir brian langstaff called institutional defensiveness, the fact that it isn't just this awful scandal, we've got the hillsborough scandal as well. we've got the windrush scandal, we've got the post office horizon scandal. and how it is that there are people who are putting protecting their own reputations, protecting the reputation of institutions as above the public interest. he talked about a cultural change. there's not a single policy lever to pull to make that possible. that's going to require leadership. and that's what we have to dedicate ourselves to. do not just now, but in the months and years ahead. >> but how do you plan to change that? how do you plan to restore pubuc that? how do you plan to restore public trust in the british

state? sir brian langstaff, you just, just alluded to there the report author, he suggests that that there should be a so—called duty of candour demanded in law for civil servants that there's a legal obligation to speak up rather than a cultural expectation to shut up. should whistleblowing be mandatory ? whistleblowing be mandatory? >> yeah, i do, i do support the introduction of a duty of candoun introduction of a duty of candour. it's something that we've already been arguing for in the context of hillsborough. and i do think that duty of candouris and i do think that duty of candour is very , very important candour is very, very important and crucial in terms of the duty on public servants to tell the truth. and there are other practical measures that sir bnan practical measures that sir brian langstaff has put forward, like, for example, in the national health service, when serious issues of concern are raised that those issues are then made known to the most senior people, whether it is in that particular nhs trust or indeed other parts of the

national health service. there's also some very strong recommendations about mandatory training for clinicians , given training for clinicians, given what happened with these infected blood products without proper consent by patients being given . so there are some very given. so there are some very practical and important things andindeed practical and important things and indeed legal changes we can make. but all of that also has to contribute to an overall change in culture, to a change in mindset. and that is something that's going to require political leadership as well. i'd like to get your view, if i can, on the move being made yesterday by the chief prosecutor for the international criminal court filing applications for the arrest warrants of hamas leaders, and also benjamin netanyahu and his senior colleagues , the british senior colleagues, the british government has said that this action is unhelpful and makes us action is unhelpful and makes us a step further from any sort of meaningful pause in fighting or getting hostages out or humanitarian aid in what is labour's position in all of this? and do you think the

absolute backing from president biden of israel potentially could undermine the international criminal court ? international criminal court? >> well, we do believe in the international criminal court and its independence. and what's happened here is that the prosecutor to the icc has indicated that he would like to seek these warrants. now, that is an independent decision for the prosecutor that will now go to a panel of judges and whether those warrants are granted is a matter for them. if you respect the independence of the icc, which we do, then that is the process that should now take place. but at the same time , we place. but at the same time, we still have a situation where we have the humanitarian crisis in gaza. we have hostages that need to be released, that have been captured since that heinous attack by hamas on the 7th of october. so at the same time, we have to continue to keep up the

diplomatic pressure, making clear to the israeli government that a full scale attack on rafah would be unacceptable . rafah would be unacceptable. while we will continue to push the government to release their legal advice around arms exports, but we must also continue to make that case for humanitarian aid as well. and that's what we will continue to do well here to talk to us this morning about labour's plan for next generation of new towns . next generation of new towns. >> i think we can all agree that we've got a housing crisis in this country, but that plan is already being criticised. tory chairman richard halden, speaking today, has said that labour completely failed to enact this new policy last time around, didn't even build one new town. the labour party had the lowest level of house building since the 1920 rs. and now we have the issue of nimbyism in this country. how are you going to tackle the nimbys and succeed this time around? if you get the chance ? around? if you get the chance? >> well, richard holden's party

has been in power for 14 years and we find ourselves today with this acute housing shortage and people unable to get the roof over their heads, that they need new towns was an idea of the immediate post—war labour government. i think it's an idea that has found its time again, and that is because labour is saying we want to build 1.5 million homes over the course of the next parliament. yes, that will require changes to the planning system to ensure that can happen , but it also means to can happen, but it also means to get to that number. that local building is not going to be enough. we are going to have to look at the idea of new towns. these huge, larger projects and what angela rayner will be setting out in a speech today is how we won't only be looking to build the homes we need, but we want to build communities with the infrastructure, support that they need as well. and i look forward to hearing more from angela rayner about that in her

speech later today. >> we wish she would come on and talk to us. i can't think why she is avoiding us, but nick thomas—symonds, you were a good sport. thanks for coming on. we'll see you again soon. thank you. >> pleasure. thank you. thank you very much. thank you. >> now, britain's newsroom is coming up at 930 this morning, and andrew pierce and bev turner are here to tell us all about it. morning, you two. >> good morning. that man nick was at andrew pierce's book launch yesterday evening. wasn't here, so i'm only a few hours ago. i think we're both sober by now. and this morning i made a joke. >> i said, barring a political miracle, nick thomas—symonds will be a labour cabinet minister after the next general election. i said, but being a good roman catholic boy, i'm praying for a miracle. >> i've got a good laugh. got a good laugh. certainly did. right. >> we're going to be reflecting on the infected blood inquiry again this morning a little bit, talking to a few people. do they feel like they've got justice now? >> well i talked to the haemophilia society, which said before ken clarke got his peerage, he was health minister dunng peerage, he was health minister during a very crucial time, 1983, when he said there's no link between aids and hiv and blood. what so the haemophilia

society said back in 2020, this man should not get his peerage. let's wait and see what happens with the infected blood inquiry. there's now a clamour for andrew to be stripped of his lots of ministers have been unfavourably, you know, exposed in this inquiry but actually his behaviour he hasn't covered himself in glory in all of this. >> and that's been very difficult, i think, in kind of really making the suffering worse for the family. >> he's a, he's, he's his response in the public inquiry was appalling. he was rude, truculent. why are you asking me all these questions? because it's a public inquiry. and ken clarke is a lawyer, too. and he's always had this sort of avuncular, friendly. ken clarke likes a pint, likes a cigar. he was appalling in that inquiry. and there is this clamour. so we'll be having a debate about whether he should lose his peerage. >> we've got an exclusive interview with the prime minister. yeah. katherine forster in vienna, which i think is being done as we speak. so thatis is being done as we speak. so that is going to be hot off the press this morning. >> and he's very chuffed because the austrian government, he's out there as a guest of the austrian government, are saying they back the rwanda plan. they

may not be rwanda they agree with, but they think the idea of processing illegal migrant claims offshore is a good idea. >> public endorsement, isn't it? it is what he's out there for. it >> exactly. and i'm a fan of the plan. he's not a great fan of the plan, but i think it's the only thing we've got. >> i just got to work and come on, you've got to tell us about finding margaret and the book launch. >> who was giving speeches last night. was it quite a glittering event? well it's quite a glittering event. >> well, joan collins made a very witty speech, actually, at my expense, it has to be said. but she was very jolly. i made a speech, too, and my big sister was there, and i was very proud to have her there, because she only found out a few months ago that i tracked down my birth mother. really? i hadn't told her and there were a lot of people, a lot of politicians there. david davis was there, who else was there? beverley turner was there with her young man there. >> well, your usual sort of you, you were there with your young man as well. i just gets better and better. are young men had a little nice little chat together. they did. that was nice. >> beverley's young man is younger than my young man.

>> don't be jealous. >> don't be jealous. >> no, but no, it was a really lovely evening, actually. and for someone who's worked in the media for such a long time, you are incredibly well liked. >> which is odd, which i find quite odd, i know. >> and we were in the carlton club, which is of course the home of the tory party establishment. so it was great fun to take the mick out of people like kevin maguire, who, you know, our dear friend for 30 years, well, i made the point. >> it was his first time in the carlton club and it will be his last. >> so it was a room full of your genuine, your your friends. i think it's fair to say people that you've known for many, many years. yeah, which is not always the case when you're at showbiz dos. >> i think you're you're the extracts that i've read anyway, of your book shows that these friendships, these sort of political and journalist and mp friends you've kept close for years. >> so amanda patel obviously was there because she was the one who knocked on my birth mother's door and said, guess who? jane moore, who found her? carole malone, and carole malone, of course, went to the wrong club. she went to the garrick club and caused a scene when they said, there's no andrew pierce pottinger stephen barclay was

there, cabinet minister with him. >> nice guy. very attractive, isn't he ? isn't he? >> oh, he's very charismatic. >> oh, he's very charismatic. >> yes he is, yes, he is. >>— >> yes he is, yes, he is. >> well, we had a few ministers there, which is always nice. and a few people from the labour side too. >> well, i look forward to receiving my signed copy of the liberal democrats was there and igave liberal democrats was there and i gave her £1 for the liberal democrat election fighting fund. i had to buy my own. >> i bought my own book last night. i gave my £20 to andrew pierce. >> how much it cost? >> how much it cost? >> £20. >> £20. >> i'm being told we have to move on. i'd love to talk all day about your party. i did get invited. you just like to add i was in the post. >> andrew. >> andrew. >> yes, darling? >> yes, darling? >> i thought you would be there. >> i thought you would be there. >> i thought you would be there. >> i like this this morning. by the way, i haven't got lovely time. >> i'm having a great time battling duo. >> oh, bless your heart. >> oh, bless your heart. >> thank you. bless your heart. >> thank you. bless your heart. >> we'll see you at 930. looking program. good to see you both. >> right. just time to tell you about our latest cash giveaway. £20,000. that's the biggest amount that we've given away yet. and you can spend it however you like. >> but you've got to be in it to win it. >> here's how the next great

about royal chelsea show and the king

queen. welcome back to breakfast now. royal fans were delighted to see the king and queen at the chelsea flower show yesterday. with king charles even being called the king of compost. and the queen was the queen of the bees. >> well, one woman with all the details is royal biographer angela levin and queen bee herself. good morning to you. good morning. lovely to see the king looking so well. >> love going to garden centres. and they do all during the year. yeah, i do , but they love it. yeah, i do, but they love it. but camilla doesn't interfere with his garden and highgrove. he has it the most amazing garden with all different sort of things. lots of poppies everywhere or actually things donein everywhere or actually things done in a special colour of his late mother. and it's , it's just late mother. and it's, it's just the most beautiful garden and, and camilla does hers in her own
