to be talking about yet again. what in your view, because you talk to these people , you deal talk to these people, you deal with them, what it would put them off getting into those dangerous small boats ? well dangerous small boats? well i don't think we should be looking at what's going to put people off, because i think the honest answer to that is nothing . answer to that is nothing. >> you know, we have to remember that for the majority of people, the channel crossing is just a very small part a much longer very small part of a much longer journey . and you know, it's journey. and it's you know, it's the small part much the last small part of a much longer journey. so people who longerjourney. so people who have through that have been through all of that already to be already aren't going to be easily from making the easily deterred from making the last step . the only way we stop last step. the only way we stop the is giving the boats is by giving an alternative route and alternative route a safe and legal alternative route. but k even hours after yesterday's departure, the human traffickers were back in business. >> in fact, i think 75 arrived yesterday day , and so the yesterday day, and so the business carried on. the human traffickers don't care about people safety, it would seem. in fact, the reports in the newspapers today, they're not even giving out jackets. so

even giving out life jackets. so the majority of people on board surely the safer routes would just encourage a higher influx into a country, let's face it, which is at breaking point in terms of our ability to support people, in terms of things like health. i don't think so. >> i don't think it would increase the number of people making the crossing or, you know, coming here. it would just eliminate the need for them to risk their life in a small boat. you know, lot of people on you know, a lot of people on these small boats have these small boats do have a right to come here to claim asylum. the current asylum. but under the current rules, on british rules, you have to be on british soil to do that. and there isn't safe legal routes enough. there isn't catchall route isn't a sort of a catchall route for people. so they are there forced to make irregular forced to make these irregular journeys get to the uk journeys to get to the uk to claim asylum. if were if claim asylum. if we were if people were able to make that claim or start claim before claim or start that claim before reaching you know, reaching britain or, you know, be here safely, be brought here safely, humanitarian visas, there are options. know , and that's options. you know, and that's the only way we stop people getting in boats because at getting in the boats because at the they have to. yes the moment they have to. yes >> and said at the moment

>> and you said at the moment they they're getting they have to they're getting into boats. are they they have to they're getting into when boats. are they they have to they're getting into when they»ats. are they they have to they're getting into when they do. are they they have to they're getting into when they do that?they they have to they're getting into when they do that? are aware when they do that? are they aware of how dangerous it is? mean, yesterday's tragedy is? i mean, yesterday's tragedy is? i mean, yesterday's tragedy is over the front pages of is all over the front pages of the newspapers. people are talking it on, frankly, talking about it on, frankly, nearly every tv news channel or radio show. and we're all aware that it's very, very dangerous. but are they they yes, i think so . 50. >> so. >> you know, it's the busiest shipping lane in the world. it's a very short journey . but i a very short journey. but i think by now it's been going quite a while. i think people are aware of the danger. and i think that that really hits home the fact the, you know, the the fact that the, you know, the number people that are still number of people that are still making that crossing, despite number of people that are still maidanger,: crossing, despite number of people that are still mai danger,: crossin the espite number of people that are still maidanger,: crossin the deaths, the danger, despite the deaths, i it really hits home just i think it really hits home just how desperate these people are, you they're going you know, and they're not going to and to be easily deterred and really, you know, you have to question somebody does know question if somebody does know the choosing the danger and they're choosing still a small boat, still to get into a small boat, why are they that? you why are they doing that? you know, would somebody put know, why would somebody put their that? their life at risk like that? well because they are desperate and they're fleeing war, persecution, know. and they're fleeing war, per well,on, know. and they're fleeing war, perwell, let know. and they're fleeing war, perwell, let me know. and they're fleeing war, perwell, let me put know.

and they're fleeing war, perwell, let me put that know. >> well, let me put that question to because they're question to you, because they're not war or persecution not fleeing war or persecution or conflict when they leave france, safe france, they're leaving a safe country. doubt country. and they've no doubt been through many safe countries to france. majority to get to france. the majority of yesterday were of those rescued yesterday were afghani men. a few somalians . afghani men. a few somalians. and i was wrong, by the way, 500 made the crossing yesterday , made the crossing yesterday, evenin made the crossing yesterday, even in choppy waters and even after that disaster. so i'll put it to you. why are they making that crossing when they're leaving a safe country, france, where they could claim asylum? what's the draw of britain ? what's the draw of britain? >> do you find that to be quite a silly argument now, this far down the line, you know, they aren't coming from france, are they? they are coming from much further. >> they departed from france. >> they departed from france. >> going stay >> everybody isn't going to stay in a lot of in france. france takes a lot of people, as does germany, spain, lots countries. not lots of other countries. not everybody to stay in everybody is going to stay in france, the end of france, but it is at the end of a much longerjourney is yes, indeed, it's been a very long journey. >> but why doesn't it stop in france? why do they want to come to britain ? to britain? >> not everybody does. you know , there are there are several

reasons people might want to reasons why people might want to come to britain. language, family you family reunification. um, you know, but a lot of people settle in other countries, you in other countries, too. you know, take the most in know, we don't take the most in europe it's across europe. it's spread across europe. it's spread across europe. you know, there's a lot of people floating around. and yes , we take a lot of people, yes, we take a lot of people, but as of other countries. >> but but the point remains, it's a perilous journey. you've spelled that out. the facts bear that out. yesterday it was the biggest loss of life in the channel since november 2021, when 27 died. it seems inevitable these things will happen again. when you look at the perilous state of the craft, they're seaworthy. i've they're barely seaworthy. i've seen a lot of these in dover. no doubt you have. that's where you're based. you know, these craft are designed a won craft are designed for a won use. they're designed by human traffickers clearly traffickers who clearly don't care of life . they're care about loss of life. they're simply to make money. simply trying to make money. surely a safer , more surely a safer, more humanitarian way of doing this for everybody concerned , would for everybody concerned, would be to contain this issue in the mainland, in europe, in france .

mainland, in europe, in france. >> that's idealistic, though , >> that's idealistic, though, isn't it? i mean, i think after a few years, we have to admit that that isn't going to happen. you know, we have to work within our own limitations here. it's clear that deterrents don't work. going to put work. it's not going to put people so we need to people off. so we need to change. we need to change tack. this a humanitarian issue. we this is a humanitarian issue. we need solution when need compassion solution when you these people , what you talk to these people, what is it that they say about that? >> what would what would they like to happen in? >> well, i think i'm somebody who knows what the options might be. do you know what i mean? not not a lot of people do know what the options for safe legal routes are. but of course, we use humanitarian the use humanitarian visas with the ukrainian situation. people were brought here safely and legally , having to navigate , never having to navigate the , never having tor1avigate the , never having to navigate the , never having tor1avi1into the asylum system or get into a small boat. so it can be done. we do have have mechanisms available, they're very , available, but they're very, very narrow and they don't catch everyone that is allowed be everyone that is allowed to be here. it's we know now that here. so it's we know now that nothing is going to work. nothing is going to deter people . and we need to start looking

at them here safely at how we get them here safely and process them quickly. >> . stephen kinnock, >> okay. stephen kinnock, labour's shadow immigration minister, today and the sunday mirror has said one thing that his party would be tempted to look at is making those who successfully get asylum more productive members of british society. i'm assuming that means they'll be granted work visas. is that something that you would like to see? yes >> yes, absolutely. you know , >> yes, absolutely. you know, the right to work in this country at the moment. you know, we have a massive backlog in the asylum system, which means we have a lot more people all waiting on a decision than we usually because it's usually would have because it's taking a long time to clear their their cases. if we gave their their cases. so if we gave people right to work when people the right to work when they'd for maybe six they'd been here for maybe six months, their months, still awaiting their asylum we wouldn't have asylum claim, we wouldn't have to house them. wouldn't have to house them. we wouldn't have to house them. we wouldn't have to support because to give asylum support because people be allowed to people would be allowed to support themselves. at the moment they're we have moment they're not. so we have no choice but to no no other choice but to support to keep them support them, to keep them alive. if we gave the people the

right they fill right to work, they would fill gapsin right to work, they would fill gaps in the workforce. you know, it would bring money through tax and insurance and national insurance contributions, asylum and national insurance contribu bills, asylum and national insurance contribu bill would asylum and national insurance contribubill would go asylum and national insurance contribu bill would go way.um and national insurance contribu bill would go way down, support bill would go way down, certainly you say, whatever certainly as you say, whatever we're doing the moment isn't working. >> kay marsh, thanks very much indeed for joining >> kay marsh, thanks very much indeed forjoining us this indeed for joining us this morning . morning. >> it's a quandary, isn't it? it's a real quandary. kay accused me of being idealistic. i would throw that back at her. this thing about allowing asylum seekers to work, i think would become the greatest pull factor across all of the world. >> the greatest pull. pull. yes >> the greatest pull. pull. yes >> because we know that roughly about 75% of asylum applications are granted if the immediate right to work was then the reward for that , i think we reward for that, i think we would be absolutely inundated with people making that journey even more so than now. i think that's just wishing in an endless supply of cheap labour, the kind of thing that people thought was was ending with brexit. what do you think? >> well, yes , something's got to >> well, yes, something's got to be tried , hasn't it? something

be tried, hasn't it? something different to be tried different has got to be tried because the bottom line is, as kay was saying, because the bottom line is, as kay was saying , what we're because the bottom line is, as kay was saying, what we're doing at the isn't working. yeah. >> and it was. it was it was really saddening and i think sickening to see yesterday that even after that, after the disaster, boats were still disaster, the boats were still being printed out by the human traffickers. you have to traffickers. and you have to wonder if they even wonder if they if they even care. >> well, course they don't. >> well, of course they don't. they care. they don't care. >> and that is why this >> yeah. and that is why this this trade surely just has to be stopped at source. i mean, let us know what you think out there, because as as as kay said, quite correctly, what we're doing now isn't working . we're doing now isn't working. >> no, that's right. something's got tried, but it's got to got to be tried, but it's got to be something that doesn't make things what do things worse. correct. what do you can't get worse than yesterday, it? well, it yesterday, can it? well, it could. it could. yeah. it's just terrible see it happening terrible to see it happening again, isn't it? it is. let's move on. it's 613. a very good morning. now over on the other side of the atlantic , the us side of the atlantic, the us attorney, david weiss , has been attorney, david weiss, has been appointed special counsel in the

ongoing investigation of the us president's son, hunter biden, and the scope of the inquiry will now focus more on the younger biden's business dealings. >> this comes as hunter's own lawyer, chris clark , demanded lawyer, chris clark, demanded a fair resolution on behalf of our client. >> you couldn't make it up, could you? let's speak to the professional professor of international politics at the university college dublin. professor scott lucas. a very good morning to you. thanks for joining us so early in the morning, you couldn't make it up. it just seems as though everybody is trying to is trying to score points off each other and by going for the children and by by going for the children of the president, for heaven's sake , what's going on? can you sake, what's going on? can you explain to us i mean, i think it's really important. >> and as you just noted, that you've got to cut through political manipulation and a lot of political distortion to get to the legal facts of the case, the legal facts are, is that this spring there was a plea bargain presented to a court in which hunter biden would plead guilty to failing to pay taxes.

he did pay back taxes and penalties of more than $1 million. but there was going to be a misdemeanour charge for his initial, let's say , negligence initial, let's say, negligence initial, let's say, negligence in paying paying his bills. then there was a second charge, which was that he had possessed a gun while under the influence, in this case of cocaine . and what this case of cocaine. and what the judge said is, look , i'm not the judge said is, look, i'm not convinced the gun charge is convinced that the gun charge is a misdemeanour. i think it might be felony. folks, the be a felony. you folks, the prosecutors , biden's lawyers prosecutors, biden's lawyers need back review it. need to go back and review it. they back and reviewed it, they went back and reviewed it, but not come to a but they could not come to a resolution of this, i think without knowing for sure that, of biden would want of course, biden would not want to guilty a felony, to plead guilty to a felony, which could carry potentially a sentence prison. at sentence in prison. and so at that point, it was announced . that point, it was announced. all right. that the justice department is going to have this special counsel, david weiss, who's been investigating this case years. and said we can case for years. and said we can talk about the reasons for that. i it may be that , but we i think it may be that, but we don't know. there may be new evidence. it be. secondly

evidence. it could be. secondly that it's leverage to get biden and his lawyers to finally agree to a plea bargain . or thirdly, i to a plea bargain. or thirdly, i think it could be an attempt to accelerate this, get this case resolved before we get into 2024, which does happen to be a presidential election year. >> isn't it the case, it's fair to say that there is so much tit for tat going on here and it kind of exposes to us in britain the political nature of the american judicial tree. you know, we have a democrat going after appointed by president obama, former president obama going after trump. we have a republican going after biden . is republican going after biden. is this just political tit for tat designed to cause damage during the presidential elections , or the presidential elections, or do you think we'll actually see convictions here? >> well, again, the legal facts on both sides, starting with biden, and that is, you know , biden, and that is, you know, the legal process has been observed for years through here. this case was prosecuted. evidence was collected . it was evidence was collected. it was presented before a grand jury . presented before a grand jury. an indictment was returned and

then you had the question of whether you go to trial , which whether you go to trial, which was we are now nobody who's a legal specialist says that there's a violation there's been a violation of legal on this. must legal process on this. i must add also that there has been no evidence presented that there is, quote, to use the words of all the trumpists and a guy named nigel farage that there's a family . named nigel farage that there's a family. there's a biden crime family. there's been evidence tying joe biden been no evidence tying joe biden to any of hunter biden's possibly illegal activities , possibly illegal activities, including the business activities . now, on the other activities. now, on the other side, i think you're referring, although you were kind not to name to donald trump. donald name him to donald trump. donald trump faces three sets of indictments, four set of indictments, four set of indictments likely come down indictments likely to come down indictments likely to come down in week or next. in georgia this week or next. and those indictments were carried out after a fully aboveboard legal process. whether it was the case of interference in the 2016 election through the payments to stormy daniels, whether it was the movement possibly illegal of classified documents from the white house to florida , or white house to florida, or whether it was the attempt to overturn the 2020 election, culminating in the capitol attack. the justice department

prosecutors moved in accordance with the law . so did judges. so with the law. so did judges. so have they. given trump's defence lawyers opportunities at every count to talk about the proceedings that are going on, which is why we will have these trials next year, not because it is, quote, a political witch hunt. the of legal hunt. it's the question of legal accountability . with donald accountability. with donald trump presumed innocent until someone, if anybody decides that he's guilty . he's guilty. >> it is extraordinary. as you said, though, that these particular legal arguments are going on at a time when both candidate s are going to go to the country and ask to become president . it's extraordinary, president. it's extraordinary, isn't it ? i mean, it's it just isn't it? i mean, it's it just looks so bad . it's extraordinary. >> but we've lived in extraordinary times for several years, both here in the uk and in the united states . i think in the united states. i think here's the starting point, which is fundamental and that is no. one, no one from any side of the political spectrum should be able to use political manipulation or political spin

to put their thumbs on the scales of justice, whether it be for hunter biden, whether it be for hunter biden, whether it be for donald trump. and i have to be honest with you here that the tactics of many who support donald trump, including donald trump precisely to trump himself, is precisely to do by getting media to do that by getting the media to talk politics. politics politics, politics, and not talk about legal process the about the legal process and the legal system . it trump legal system. it assists trump in to undermine that in trying to undermine that system. if the case is not that he's the defendant here, but the judge is corrupt, the prosecutors are corrupt, the jury prosecutors are corrupt, the jury is corrupt professors like me corrupt. even folks like me are corrupt. even folks like the corrupt got it clear the media, corrupt got it clear off that white noise and stick with what are the facts , folks? with what are the facts, folks? what's the process and respect that process ? that process? >> but scott, i wonder when push comes to shove, if any of this will count for a row of beans? anyway, i mean, donald trump's popularity has soared every time he's been indicted , his funding he's been indicted, his funding has rocketed. the gap between him and ron desantis has increased. he looks like the front . and then on the front runner. and then on the other side the of the of the

other side of the of the of the coin, the white house, according the allegations against hunter biden, insane conspiracy theories . and there we have it. theories. and there we have it. both both sets of political opponents are saying this is made up, this is a political attack . the public don't know attack. the public don't know what to believe. it probably won't convert anybody on either side. so is this really just a circus ? well you know, on the circus? well you know, on the political side, we still got six months before the first republican primary and caucus. >> and we got, i think, 15 months before the general election in november. and famous guy over here named harold wilson, once said a week is a heck of a long time in politics. so we'll see what happens . i so we'll see what happens. i mean, a couple of, you know, a couple, i think notes if you want to go politically before i give you the big closer here, that that donald trump that is, is that donald trump has actually sunk a bit in the polls for the first republican contest in iowa , which is the contest in iowa, which is the comes up next january. he had been running at about the mid 50s. he's now dropped to around

just over 40, about 44. so the indictment has had an effect in that state. and there are a lot of other heavyweight candidates out there, whether it's mike pence, the former vice president, former un ambassador nikki haley, tim scott, the first recent black first significant recent black candidate run for the candidate to run for the republican nomination. but here's thing . look, if here's the big thing. look, if donald wins election, donald trump wins the election, if enough support him, if enough people support him, that's enough . if he wins that's fair enough. if he wins legally, rather than trying something such as in january 2021 to take the office illegally, that's fair enough. but that political process should not be used to say, oh , should not be used to say, oh, well, the legal process isn't important . the well, the legal process isn't important. the legal well, the legal process isn't important . the legal process can important. the legal process can be dismissed . we don't need the be dismissed. we don't need the legal process . that is, be dismissed. we don't need the legal process. that is, as i said , attempting to sweep away said, attempting to sweep away justice in the names of someone's political advantage. and there's a fundamental in the system. doesn't matter if the quy's system. doesn't matter if the guy's name is trump, biden or scott lucas, you don't use politics. you have to be accountable for what you've done before a court of law, not just the american voters . the american voters.

>> absolutely. it must be very frustrating thing, i think, for the american voters who maybe want to talk about the important things that affect their lives . things that affect their lives. and here, as you said, all all all the media is giving is white noise and debate about these side issues. really, maybe they're not side issues. i mean, it is important, but but but do you see what i mean? the american public probably want to talk about real things that affect them. yeah absolutely. >> and i mean, for me, this is the most important election in my lifetime. and i think it's the most important election, arguably since the end of the american civil war. you've had a real threat to the american system itself that culminated in the capitol attack . but you also the capitol attack. but you also have remember, got have to remember, we've got women's rights are out women's rights that are out there, the question of there, including the question of abortion we've got abortion rights. we've got the questions lgbt rights that questions of lgbt rights that are out we've got the are out there. we've got the question immigration and question of immigration and deaung question of immigration and dealing with immigrants . dealing fairly with immigrants. we've question of the we've got the question of the economy everybody and economy, as everybody does, and the american economy is doing better. but the question is, can

it doing better in terms of it keep doing better in terms of housing, education, in health care, where there's a serious issue and that we don't have the type of care system in type of health care system in the that you have here? you the us that you have here? you know, you see where i'm stacking all up. at the end of all of this up. at the end of the day, what matters are two things. have to have a legal things. we have to have a legal system that works and that's fair but at the same fair enough. but at the same time, we need security for americans, just americans, which isn't just based going out based on somebody going out and banging tweet or some banging out a tweet or some platform truth social platform like truth social saying about me . saying it's all about me. >> fascinating stuff. it is. we could talk all day, but sadly , could talk all day, but sadly, we have to move on. excellent stuff. thank you very , very stuff. thank you very, very much. professor scott lucas, brilliant . yeah. brilliant. yeah. >> i think both sides of the atlantic. i think everybody's feeling. can't we just talk about things that, know, about the things that, you know, like. money policy ? like. like the money policy? yes, exactly. and. and we're just getting sidetracked all the time, but america incredibly time, but america is incredibly divided . divided. >> i think if you think it's bad here, it's astonishing over there. really, is. my there. it really, really is. my sister texas . i sister lives in texas. i predicted trump to win the last

welcome back. you're watching

and listening to breakfast with anne and martin. it's 631 now. we're going to talk about a group now that i've never heard of before. yeah, but but i'm talking about them today, and i think that's the fascinating thing because the 1975 frontman matty healy has landed the band in hot water. >> after being asked >> this week after being asked to out £2 million in to fork out £2 million in damages for allegedly breaking a contract terms during a show in malaysia. should we find out what exactly happened? >> stephanie be >> because stephanie might be able it? what on able to explain it? what on earth went on? >> there a price to paid >> there is a price to be paid for campaigning against malaysia's anti lgbt laws. so matty healy, they last month they were performing at the good vibes festival in malaysia, in malaysia where homosex duality is illegal. so he kissed his band mate , ross macdonald, full band mate, ross macdonald, full pucker on the lips, and then the rest of the festival had the rest of the festival had the rest of the festival had to be cancelled. so it was a three day festival. the festival got pulled. they've now been banned from playing in malaysia or even

coming back to the country. so we thought that was the last of the story. but now the production future sound asia have come out and said that they will be suing the band for £2 million. and they said that the festival had received prior pre—show written assurances from the band that they would adhere to local guidelines. so for the three things that they're suing them for now is abusive language , uh, equipment damage and indecent stage behaviour. and they're saying that by sorry. martin they're saying that also at the festival people have lost their livelihoods because the whole three day festival was cancelled . cancelled. >> oh, i see. and creative opportunities have been missed, they've said. >> it's also affected the reputation of this ten year festival, right? >> that's interesting . i wasn't >> that's interesting. i wasn't aware other people lost aware that other people had lost out payday. fair out on their payday. fair enough. now healy, enough. now matty healy, of course, formerly he's denise course, was formerly he's denise welsh's son, and he was formerly unked welsh's son, and he was formerly linked to taylor swift, where he was so it's not like his persuasion , as it were, but he persuasion, as it were, but he was making a political point. if

you couldn't see that on radio listeners, it was a very long, protracted, very long kiss. 20s smacker you see, i don't mind him making statement, but him making that statement, but i think well , him making that statement, but i think well, like the pr on think as well, like the pr on both sides got it wrong because he's been quite vocal about supporting lgbt community in supporting the lgbt community in the past, but he should know he's going to malaysia where it is banned. >> so if you want to make a statement, you say we're not going to perform at all. but now that you've gone there, locals have now been taken out of money. you can't go. >> thought he was being clever. >> yeah, clearly, didn't he? so the big question is, how are you going this £2 million? going to pay this £2 million? fine. know, someone fine. you know, maybe someone could but they're could bail him out, but they're not band where they've not a big band where they've just money rolling just got lots of money rolling in like that. >> an interesting one >> it's an interesting one because know malaysia, >> it's an interesting one becebeen know malaysia, >> it's an interesting one becebeen to know malaysia, >> it's an interesting one becebeen to malaysia,ialaysia, >> it's an interesting one becebeen to malaysia, it's/sia, i've been to malaysia, it's a very strict country, very socially conservative. for example, caught with example, if you get caught with a amount of drugs a minor, minor amount of drugs in your luggage, you to in your hand luggage, you go to prison. they very, prison. yeah, they are very, very strict. presumably they would have known if would have known that if they don't, or don't, then they're silly or they've badly advised. don't, then they're silly or they'vin badly advised. don't, then they're silly or they'vin terms adly advised. don't, then they're silly or they'vin terms ofy advised. don't, then they're silly or they'vin terms of theirised. yeah. in terms of their reputation. so here are

reputation. so here we are talking about them. >> yes. mean, i've never heard >> yes. i mean, i've never heard of them now have, of them before. now i have, yeah. so maybe from yeah. and so maybe from a certain of view there's, certain point of view there's, there's no such thing as bad publicity. >> no, it's not all you know, all is good press in one all press is good press in one way. you know, we're very liberal it comes to lgbt liberal when it comes to lgbt over here. but actually, i was quite reaction quite surprised to the reaction of community of the lgbt community in malaysia were like malaysia because they were like actually, wanted to have actually, we just wanted to have actually, we just wanted to have a good time at the festival and they've kind of navigated the they've kind of navigated in the country. are lgbt, you country. if you are lgbt, you kind behind closed kind of keep it behind closed doors, respect doors, so they still respect what's going on there. so actually really go actually it didn't really go down their fans down quite well with their fans who malaysian origin. who are of malaysian origin. >> that's interesting. so are >> so that's interesting. so are they now saying there could they now saying that there could be sort of societal be some sort of societal clampdown could be more clampdown or there could be more bigotry and intolerance towards them because it's been them because of it's been highlighted by the 1975 saying that the that this festival, the reputation now reputation has been damaged now for festival that's been going for a festival that's been going on for ten years. >> it's only made worldwide headunes >> it's only made worldwide headlines was a gay kiss headlines, was due to a gay kiss and due to a british band trying to kind of overturn their views on homosexuality .

on homosexuality. >> and the £2 million, as you say, is a problem now, isn't it? and that's clearly something they didn't think of either. >> and now they've been banned from well. i was from the country as well. i was thinking potentially they could maybe because maybe get away with this because it happened in another country. future sounds. asia is actually saying it to saying they want to bring it to engush saying they want to bring it to english so they dead english courts so they are dead on getting their money about this. >> i think they'll have a hard time doing that. >> normally unless correct me if i'm eagles out i'm wrong, legal eagles out there. if an offence happens there. but if an offence happens in territory, is the in a territory, it is the business of that territory. >> that's what i thought. >> that's what i thought. >> nevertheless, £2 million. >> but nevertheless, £2 million. it's of change. yeah. >> i wonder how they're going to manage price to manage that price to pay. >> , exactly. >> yeah, exactly. >> yeah, exactly. >> are you back us later? >> we'll be back with more news as well. >> we'll be back with more news as 'great, great stuff. thank you >> great, great stuff. thank you very much. thank you. right up next, all the views next, all the news and views making the headlines sunday's making the headlines in sunday's newspapers on

yesterday's migrant drownings? >> the sunday telegraph reveals ministers will hire more barges to house asylum seekers and will host up to 5000 in student accommodation and office blocks i >> -- >> oh, -_ >> oh, deep sigh and the observer leads with calls for safer routes across the channel. there's also a picture of lioness alex greenwood consoling a colombian player after england won magnificently in the quarterfinals yesterday . quarterfinals yesterday. >> and the star says that boffins have come up with a secret plan to stop an alien invasion by inviting them to play invasion by inviting them to play chess . play chess. >> what do you even start with that ? that? >> don't get it. let's go through the newspapers now. joining us this morning, writer and journalist emma wolf and forecaster and authorjames forecaster and author james widdowson, and very good widdowson, and a very good morning of the morning, morning to both of the morning, emma. look at the emma. yes, let's look at the mail and the question is, was the french patrol boat that was there , was it in any way to there, was it in any way to blame for those drownings? >> well, this is the end of our very, very depressing small boats week in which we were

going to a grip on this going to get a grip on this crisis. and ended really in crisis. and it's ended really in in , shambles and tragedy in farce, shambles and tragedy as well . so, yeah, the mail are as well. so, yeah, the mail are reporting it's believed that there were french patrol boats actually shepherding and sort of guiding these these overloaded small boats, one of which capsized in a shipping lane with 70 thrown overboard, as we know, six are confirmed dead and two more are missing. and i imagine, yeah, missing is probably going to be confirmed dead. but it's the presence of these french vessels, which has been extraordinary , isn't it? extraordinary, isn't it? >> yeah, really? >> yeah, really? >> really. >> really. >> what do you understand from the mail happened? >> what the mail are >> well, from what the mail are saying, saying saying, they're saying that possibly authorities were possibly french authorities were encouraging migrants encouraging desperate migrants to make the crossing despite the bad weather , sort of guiding bad weather, sort of guiding them towards britain. them along towards britain. that's that's the inference that's the that's the inference in the in the daily mail. >> yeah, that's true. >> yeah, that's true. >> that's extraordinary. yeah >> that's extraordinary. yeah >> was based a fisherman >> this was based a fisherman called matthew coker . it's called matthew coker. it's actually quite to , easy to get actually quite to, easy to get gps tracking you can get it

online, anyone can you can see what ships are where and at any one time and what he's done, he's pieced together this evidence. and there are two french warships, called french warships, one called the cormoran and one called the pluvier, which were escorting this overladen dinghy out of calais harbour. it was clearly overlaid , and according to other overlaid, and according to other eyewitnesses , they were way too eyewitnesses, they were way too many on board. it was clearly overloaded. and the big question, james, is why were they escorting them onto the britain when the more sensible thing to do perhaps may have been to have turned them around and got them back to and got them safely back to shore france ? shore in france? >> well, the answer is that macron no limit to his macron knows no limit to his willingness to bait britain on any issue . trade, immigration , any issue. trade, immigration, arms, you name it. any issue. trade, immigration, arms, you name it . and the arms, you name it. and the immigrants who died are just pawns in his game. now, there's plenty of anti—french sentiment . i don't buy it. there's plenty of anti macron sentiment. i do buy it. you know, if you only have to look at them sinking the greenpeace s ship rainbow

warrior years ago, the french secret service did that. they've just had a blow against them in the sahel in africa. so they want to show patriotic frenchmen that, you know , french that, you know, french imperialism is alive and well and living in the channel and if that can a snook at the anglo—saxons , that's all grist anglo—saxons, that's all grist to their mill, surely that's that's a bit cynical . that's a bit cynical. >> well, i mean by that is would would would the french play russian roulette with lives like this? this is clearly a very dangerous situation option, but one that is becoming very politically charged. >> now , we have to remember, >> now, we have to remember, martin, we're giving the french we're giving france nearly £500 million a year to stop the crossings . crossings. >> and what this source is saying is the boat was being escorted towards britain by a french navy patrol vessel when it is a french it capsized. this is a french policy, as you say, designed to ensure the migrants make it to british waters as quickly as possible. don't it's possible. i don't think it's cynical, marty. >> know, impossible >> you know, it's impossible that navy people didn't that these navy people didn't work without jurisdiction. work without the jurisdiction.

and oversight of the of the elysee palace. you know, they are they are cynical. they are cynical in the lives they're prepared to live. >> and a really detail, one >> and a really key detail, one that picked up yesterday when that we picked up yesterday when mark white this story live mark white broke this story live was fact that rnli craft was the fact that rnli craft from dover went deep into french territory. >> and it now appears also in this report, the mail are claiming that the huge majority, if not all of the occupants of this vessel were brought back to dover. this vessel were brought back to dover . yeah. now, why would they dover. yeah. now, why would they be brought back to dover if they were four miles off the french coast? >> and despite the fact that they're paying up to £5,000 for a crossing, they're not being given, you safety vests, given, you know, safety vests, life vests . and, know, and life vests. and, you know, and iain smith , this not iain duncan smith, this is not an unsympathetic response to migrants. is saying this is migrants. this is saying this is a danger policy. this is a a danger ice policy. this is a very dangerous policy because people not going to make it, people are not going to make it, you know, it isn't just about you know, so it isn't just about saying let the migrants saying don't let the migrants come here. it's about preserving life. >> yeah, great point, james. let's move on to story . you have let's move on to story. you have now the front of today's sunday

times, our old friend tony blair, the tony blair institute, back in the headlines. why this time ? time? >> well, because he's still doing business with the regime in saudi arabia to and he intends to keep on being engaged . and as he said, why we should be engaging with saudi arabia any more than we should with the kremlin. you know, it doesn't satisfy me, but there's some great stats in the story from the sunday times. the tony blair organisation has 800 people working for it , $81 million working for it, $81 million behind it quarter of $1 billion from larry ellison on the yacht, owning ceo of oracle. that's right . so, you know , they are right. so, you know, they are alive and well and a force in the land. and you don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to see there malign influence . there malign influence. >> what blair's end game, what does he want himself more prominence, more media coverage. >> and there's even some speculation that he might take over from keir because you can't

be worse than keir year. so, you know, we might get the tribute act but in fact the real act from tony blair coming back , i from tony blair coming back, i imagine he would say if he were here that you still have to talk to people. >> yeah, you know, you still have to talk to the saudi government. you can't cut them off completely. you can only hope to have some influence by talking. >> so he is claiming that it's all about, you know, talking and diplomacy building building diplomacy and building building relations countries. diplomacy and building building rela he|s countries. diplomacy and building building rela he seems countries. diplomacy and building building rela he seems to countries. diplomacy and building building rela he seems to have�*untries. diplomacy and building building rela he seems to have donees. but he seems to have done extremely well since leaving office. >> it's not just about talk. you know, saudi arabia is being groomed moment to join groomed at the moment to join the french, italian, british alliance making fighter jets and that's an enormous departure. we've always been far too friendly to them, too reliant on them , too forgiving. after the them, too forgiving. after the khashoggi assassination in 2018, they're now going to play possibly a major role in our defence and the other thing to remember is they're heavily in debt because us interest rates

have risen , saudi debt has risen have risen, saudi debt has risen from about $20 billion to more than $100 billion. it's not a stable enterprise. both domestically, but also it's hooking up with china in a big way. we want to defend ourselves with them, with their connections, with beijing. i don't think so . don't think so. >> it's astonishing that no matter what you think about tony blair, he certainly has a very long lived political career and he's still around. and we're talking about him today. shall we move on to yes. >> so, emma, in the observer, you're at their leading you're looking at their leading on story. on an environmental story. >> depressing. more >> yeah, it's depressing. more more bad news on our waterways . more bad news on our waterways. i remember summer we had i remember last summer we had all stuff about raw sewage all this stuff about raw sewage on the beaches and just, you know, simply simply not for know, simply simply not fit for people to swimming in people to be swimming in and this about rivers this is about our rivers specials, sites special specials, sites of special scientific interests and . only scientific interests and. only 9% of our rivers and our natural habitat s sorry, freshwater habitats are in a decent, favourable condition in so over 90% are in a very, very bad

condition. we've got farming, pollution, agricultural runoff, dredging , raw sewage. of course dredging, raw sewage. of course we've got raw sewage, microplastics really in an awful state. this includes the river kennet, the river avon in wiltshire and hampshire river wensum in norfolk. the river edenin wensum in norfolk. the river eden in cumbria. the river wye in hereford. >> that is terrible . >> that is terrible. >> that is terrible. >> awful state. over 90. and river action. who's the big campaigning charity for this are saying this is a total failure of regulation. when defra were asked last week you know for the for the stats, they said, oh, that's not a data set that we have available. how many of our waterways, how many of our freshwater are in a freshwater habitats are in a decent condition? weren't decent condition? they weren't able that able to provide that information. to blame? able to provide that inchames n. to blame? able to provide that inchames because to blame? able to provide that inchames because water me? able to provide that inchames because water has�* >> james because water has become very , very political. is become very, very political. is it the companies themselves ? is it the companies themselves? is it the companies themselves? is it government policy? is it a bit of both? >> well, it's really useful that you that, martin, because you say that, martin, because the thing for me about the striking thing for me about that report is how the observer completely let off the water companies. and that's one thing that trend really watch, that trend really to watch, which bash the farmers

which is let's bash the farmers . they're responsible all . they're responsible for all our river problems. let's not bash the water companies because they work with our regulators and they work with natural england. tony juniper, all of these people. it's a complete whitewash. you know , don't let's whitewash. you know, don't let's blame the farmers . let's blame blame the farmers. let's blame the government their useless the government for their useless implementation regulation. implementation of regulation. there's tonnes of laws. they just don't do anything about it because they're stymied by people like juniper and let's not blame the farmers. let's put the blame where it belongs, which is with regulators and which is with the regulators and the water companies. farmers deserve our support. yes, they get our support far too little in this country. we really rely on them. water companies, different story. >> well , that brings us quite >> well, that brings us quite neatly onto rishi sunak, who's only got seven months to save his skin, apparently. james well , as long as that, seven months. >> i was going to say so long as that an i thought you said seven minutes. >> what's really interesting about this story from the from the sunday express is not so

much that, you know , he's got much that, you know, he's got seven months to save his skin . seven months to save his skin. and if he can turn the economy around , it'll all be fine. but around, it'll all be fine. but what's really interesting is how much his whole fate is determined by the civil service yes. if you read the story, it's all about the civil service all about how the civil service closes down, you know, in the light of local, mayoral and general election wins. they've got a schedule. the whole campaign electoral campaign campaign, an electoral campaign in of what civil servants in terms of what civil servants are prepared to do. that's one striking thing. the other striking thing. the other striking thing, which is really quite off the point, but very relevant, is they believe that they can revive the economy. rishi and the tories, by getting people back to work and what they propose is to help that is that the government is considering introducing legislation that would require the employers to provide occupational health support to staff. now it sounds great. who wouldn't want a physio on their employer? but if pay but. well, there's that. but also, you know, the employers want going to want to know about your

health. martin your mental health, your family problems, your behaviour , your, you know, your behaviour, your, you know, your behaviour, your, you know, your longevity and all of those things. it's very intrusive, extremely intrusive. and if the occupational health, which sounds so cuddly, becomes a mandatory requirement for all companies, we're going to get a level of personal surveillance like you've never seen . like you've never seen. >> but also, if that's the if that's the big plan to revive our economy, you slightly our economy, then you slightly despair i what are despair know. i mean, what are we about? i mean, that's we talking about? i mean, that's very important. health every very important. health of every employee but but employee is important. but but there at stake there are bigger issues at stake here. there are here. aren't there? there are first, aren't there first? >> it is important to people >> it is important to get people back you know, back to work. but, you know, a high other reasons why people can't get back to work are failing system. can't get back to work are failthe system. can't get back to work are failthe lack system. can't get back to work are failthe lack of system. can't get back to work are failthe lack of childcare. many, >> the lack of childcare. many, many, reasons many, many other reasons laziness, and a boring laziness, laziness and a boring workplace as well. you too workplace as well. you know, too many jobs , not enough many jobs, not enough interesting work. >> absolutely . well, look, we've >> absolutely. well, look, we've got there on that got to leave it there on that lovely note. thanks very much indeed. move on, indeed. we've got to move on, but you again in about but we'll see you again in about an hour. great stuff. now, it's been a month now hollywood been a month now since hollywood actors on the

actors joined writers on the picket lines in the broadcast . picket lines in the broadcast. in the broadest industry shutdown since 1960. apparently >> yeah, the dispute over the payments of repeat fees and the use of ai in the movie industry has had a major impact, not just in the states, but also in the uk. >> yeah, our south west of england. reporter jeff moody has england. reporterjeff moody has been speaking to actors and technicians here in britain who say work has now say their work has now completely dried up . completely dried up. >> the premiere of oppenheimer. no sooner had the actors walked up the red carpet than they walked back down again, showing support for an industry brought to its knees by industrial action. it's affecting british workers to a stevie hayward from somerset mixes the sound for major movies as his work disappeared overnight. >> once they announced that, which i think was on the wednesday of that week by the end of the week, i stopped working and a lot of my colleagues have also stopped since it's not just the major

releases , tim hughes produces releases, tim hughes produces videos for social media promoting films and merchandise , so can't go to movie premieres i >>i -- >> i can't promote , i don't >> i can't promote, i don't know, like a branded soap, which is from a movie or a film studio because that is technically promoting the film or the studios . so i promoting the film or the studios. so i can't take on new deals . deals. >> is at the heart of the dispute. artificial intelligence fears that al dispute. artificial intelligence fears that ai will eventually replace live actors already , replace live actors already, crowd scenes are created by ai doing away with the need for supporting artistes. doing away with the need for supporting artistes . actor david supporting artistes. actor david burton says it's a dangerous precedent. once you uncork the bottle , let the genie out. bottle, let the genie out. >> it's very, very difficult to get the genie back in so with things like ai , yes, i can see things like ai, yes, i can see it progressing even further . and it progressing even further. and yes, it is a threat to people's jobs. yes, it is a threat to people's jobs . um, but the one thing it jobs. um, but the one thing it will never, ever be able to do

within film or any other aspect of the arts is to be able to properly think for itself . properly think for itself. >> it's been a month now and there's no sign of a breakthrough . breakthrough. >> at some point something's going to have to happen and somebody's going to blink first. but how long that's going to take? don't know. it's take? i don't know. and it's about how prepared you were to have a sort of unplanned , um, have a sort of unplanned, um, vacay session where it could be they could sort something out in a couple of months or it might not be until next year. who knows how long it's going to take. >> only this week, the prestigious emmy awards were postponed until next year. the industry employs more than 1.7 million people with a wage bill of $158 billion a year. the strike coincides with a three month walkout from hollywood writers , meaning red carpets writers, meaning red carpets across the globe will be mothballed for some considerable time . jeff moody gb news, says

time. jeff moody gb news, says it just shows, doesn't it? >> if one set of people go on strike, it has a knock on effect all the way down. yeah, yeah. >> the whole supply chain is impacted. they've all lost their livelihoods. it's very sad. >> thanks very much indeed for getting touch about the getting in touch about the channel crossings . i getting in touch about the channel crossings. i don't channel boat crossings. i don't know whether anyone's got this solution, but gary langham solution, but gary in langham says the government has completely lost control of our borders. the toothpaste borders. and the toothpaste cannot be back in the tube cannot be put back in the tube >> yeah, good point. >> yeah, good point. >> well , good >> yeah, good point. >> well, good metaphor, graham says creating more legal routes won't stop the boats. the economic migrants won't pass the legal process . yes. so we will legal process. yes. so we will continue to use boats to get them here illegally . them here illegally. >> yeah. jordan says it's okay to have them working. maybe. but where are you going to house them? >> good point. often the infrastructure is overlooked and also schools, dentists, all things and paul in things like that. and paul in nuneaton says , what are the nuneaton says, what are the french why are we paying french doing? why are we paying them doing nothing? paul them for doing nothing? paul i think a lot of people are going to that question after to ask that question after particularly this the front

particularly this is the front page of the mail saying was the french patrol boat to blame for migrant drownings because the mail has been investigating this and seems to be suggesting very strongly actually, that that small boat was being escorted by french ships into english waters. >> that's right. >> that's right. >> and then the rescue took place in french waters. but they came back to dover. >> it's extraordinary. well, we'll try and find out more about that coming up. don't forget, don't switch us off. we're still here. this is breakfast on gb news. the temperature's rising. >> bob solar proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. weather on. gb news. >> hello. good morning. i'm marco petagna. here's your latest weather update from the met office. we'll see a mixed bag of weather across the uk over the next 24 hours or so. a mixture of sunshine and showers with more persistent rain arriving later the arriving later from the southwest. the detail southwest. back to the detail for today, though, plenty of showers towards the north showers around towards the north and the today. some

okay, let's move on to today's top afraid is top story, which i'm afraid is still very sad. the still very, very sad. the government under further government is under further pressure tackle migrant pressure now to tackle migrant crossings after yet another tragedy in the channel. >> people after a small >> six people died after a small boat sank off the of boat sank off the coast of france yesterday with a further 59 being by 59 people being rescued by british coast guards. british and french coast guards. well, joining us now is former chief immigration at the chief immigration officer at the border saunders. border force, kevin saunders. >> kevin. lovely to see >> morning, kevin. lovely to see you again. good morning, anne. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> now , it's very sad because >> now, it's very sad because here we are again talking about a terrible tragedy. and one wonders what on earth happened here. i don't know whether you've heard this news that apparently there were two french ships, warships , actually, that ships, warships, actually, that appeared to be actually a well, it wasn't just patrolling . they it wasn't just patrolling. they were almost leading them into engush were almost leading them into english waters. i mean, would that be normal? have you ever heard of anything like that before? >> unfortunately, yes. the french often a escort these people to the middle of the

channel and they'll call us up. they'll call the uk border force up and say hello, chap, we've got a dinghy here. they don't want us to rescue them . they want us to rescue them. they want us to rescue them. they want you. they want you to rescue them. so could you come and get them, please ? and get them, please? >> i'm. there's a lot of detail to drill into here, and i find this fascinating . so the people this fascinating. so the people being rescued have a choice. who they're rescued by by this incident was just four miles from the french coast. and my next question is for miles from the french coast. a why didn't the french coast. a why didn't the french coast. a why didn't the french turn them back? it was clearly dangerous, choppy waters and clearly the craft was overladen with passengers . and overladen with passengers. and secondly, why did british vessels go so deep into french waters to perform a rescue and then bring people back to dover ? >> well, 7 >> well, that's something that we're going to have to wait and see to see the answer to that, because that does seem a little bit strange. what i do know was that the french were also

rescuing people off dunkirk yesterday. they rescued another 59 off dunkirk yesterday. now, whether this was exactly at the same time or not, i don't know. but the french will only only rescue people . if the people on rescue people. if the people on the boat say they want them to the boat say they want them to the french interpretation of the law of the sea is different to that of the uk in under the french interpretation, the people have to say they want to be rescued. so what you have is this ridiculous situation whereby the french would escort them to the middle of the channel while then saying that they don't want to be rescued and then a metre over the international line. they'll be saying, we want to be rescued by the brits. it's ludicrous. >> i think anyone hearing that is just to going >> i think anyone hearing that isjust to going be so >> i think anyone hearing that is just to going be so shocked because we are paying the french government 500 million, £500

million to help stop the boat crossings. >> but it would seem that when it actually comes to it, the french are helping these small boats across the channel. well the french are doing is the money that we've given them . money that we've given them. >> they're putting into their beach patrols. so they've upped the number of french police officers significantly over . the officers significantly over. the 60 mile part of the french coast that the french, the migrants are coming off to, to try and stop them getting in the water. unfortunate only once they're in the water. the french aren't quite so helpful. and this will continue . this will continue. continue. this will continue. you will see more tragedies unfold . will the french amend unfold. will the french amend this view? but they won't because it's not in their interest . interest. >> it's to kevin this will be making many people listening and watching gb news today tear

their hair out in frustration . their hair out in frustration. £500 million. yesterday was the fourth busiest day of 2023. even after for the loss of life in the channel, the craft kept going out into perilous seas. the evidence was gathered by a british fisherman , an and a guy british fisherman, an and a guy called matthew coker , looked at called matthew coker, looked at the gps locations of the ships. very easy to ascertain that . very easy to ascertain that. clearly these vessels were being escorted . but i want to ask you escorted. but i want to ask you again, because i'm really stuck on detail, why , oh why did on this detail, why, oh why did the rnli lee go right into . the rnli lee go right into. french territory four miles from calais and then bring people back to dover? it just beggars belief that £500 million isn't better spent returning to people in danger who've gone overboard, who are in danger of losing their lives and indeed did lose their lives and indeed did lose their lives and indeed did lose their lives is not the most proof ardent use of time to return them to calais . return them to calais. >> to dover? no, it it isn't.

and the rnli went in because they were the only vessels that were there. and there were available to actually help out. the french had deployed some vessels, but they needed more and the lifeboats were our lifeboats were actually on the channel. so it was fairly straightforward for them to get in. now look , your your question in. now look, your your question is very relevant . why did they is very relevant. why did they bnng is very relevant. why did they bring them back to dover? why didn't they take them into calais? and that i just don't know. >> i mean, do you have a hypothesis ? hypothesis? >> well, i understand they were quite serious cases that the rnli picked up and including stretcher cases . and i don't stretcher cases. and i don't know, i just do not know why they took them in. i would have thought it would have been quicker to take them into calais or beloin , but, um , it may have or beloin, but, um, it may have

been quicker to bring them back to the uk. i really don't know. but as you can see on your pictures, they were stretcher cases. cgses. >> cases. >> it just seems to me, you know, if you're four miles from one country and what, 21 miles, seven miles from another country, then the four mile country, then the four mile country is nearer and that's not only a case of politics or whose responsibility this is, but in the case of getting them the most urgent medical attention, surely france is nearer. i just don't understand. i'm sorry to go on about this, kevin, but i cannot my head around why cannot get my head around why that was made. and that choice was made. and i can't either. >> i don't. i don't know the answer because it doesn't. with what you've said, with the sums , it doesn't seem that the uk was the best place to bring them. but i really don't know them. but i really don't know the answer. i don't know why they wouldn't have taken them into calais. can only, only into calais. i can only, only think that the french said no. but i mean that's, that's a guess that i have nothing to back that up. >> that's what i was to going suggest. is that to take them

back to calais requires cooperation from the french. and maybe we just didn't get any cooperation the french and cooperation from the french and again, seems like the £500 again, that seems like the £500 million that we're spending on giving to the french government for some help on this is just being thrown isn't being thrown away, isn't it? well >> well, it's i wouldn't go that far, but it does when you have a situation like this, it does beg the question a little bit . i the question a little bit. i mean, the french are stopping more and more people getting into the boat. they're stopping just over 50% of the boats coming off the french coast . but coming off the french coast. but until we can persuade the french to put the gendarmerie, maritime onto the channel and work with us on the channel and i don't mean when i say work with us, i don't mean them telling us that they've got migrant for us to collect. i mean to actually stopping them. we're not going to solve this. >> can i just ask because you'll you'll know this, how physically

difficult is it once you've got a dinghy full of people ? a dinghy full of people? >> how difficult is it to actually make them go back? i mean, you i suppose if you pushed them or put boats or ships in the way , you actually ships in the way, you actually run the risk of causing a tragedy , don't you? tragedy, don't you? >> that and is a very, very good question. the greeks did this in the aegean to people coming off turkey . the greeks actually turkey. the greeks actually pushed the boats back and in fact, priti patel, when she was home secretary, actually went out to greece to see this actually in action. and it was totally supported by the eu . in totally supported by the eu. in fact, the eu described greece as the iron barrier to the eu . so the iron barrier to the eu. so ursula von der leyen and her friends in brussels totally supported this. um, but the

aegean is a lot different to the channel and, and to do this in the channel and border force would have looked at the use of jet skis to push the boats back. but it is incredibly dangerous in the channel and you would have you would have problems . have you would have problems. you really would. >> and kevin , a key difference >> and kevin, a key difference between the aegean and what happenedin between the aegean and what happened in australia where tony abbott stopped the boats and took them back to papua new guinea, of course is that the craft? yeah, they were in the med and the craft in in the, the pacific around australia were proper boats with helms proper wooden boats with helms and all the rest of it. these craft are almost specifically designed for one journey only. they're flimsy home made death traps as we saw yesterday. is there a sense here, do you think, that the boat makers or specifically engineering craft that cannot be returned craft that cannot be returned craft that would be dangerous if they'll tow back and therefore all they are inviting disaster upon the asylum seekers ?

upon the asylum seekers? >> no, i wouldn't go. i wouldn't go that far. what what they what the people smugglers are doing is buying the cheapest boat they can get away with . um, so can get away with. um, so they're buying something that is basically not, not really fit for purpose, as we saw yesterday . um, there are suggestions that some of the boats that are being used now are a little bit sturdier and actually may come from germany rather than the far east. but the evidence for that is isn't conclusive yet. but this is , this is a huge problem. this is, this is a huge problem. and until we get around it, um, there are going to be more , more there are going to be more, more incidents like yesterday and i also want to add, if i if i've got time. yeah. um is that we hear that the only way to solve this problem is to have a returns agreement with europe. now that's correct. it would be

great. the we can't have a returns agreement with france because macron has said you can't negotiate with me . you've can't negotiate with me. you've got to negotiate with the eu . got to negotiate with the eu. and i'm afraid that brussels are more concerned with the number of people entering the eu via the mediterranean than they are with what they regard as a tiny , tiny sideshow of people leaving the eu in northern france . so the idea that is france. so the idea that is being is coming out from certain areas of politics that if they get in, they're going to no negotiate a returns agreement with brussels. they've got more chance of platting fog than doing that . doing that. >> gosh. >> gosh. >> well, we'll leave it there. what a thing to say. yes. thank you very much indeed. it's always a joy to talk to you because you really understand and the problem because you've been haven't been there and done it, haven't you? kevin. thank you

you? thank you, kevin. thank you so much. >> thank you very much . >> thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> was singularly and >> that was singularly and lightning and yet also very frustrating that we're in this endless bind . and here we are endless bind. and here we are talking about this again , the talking about this again, the politics of this just never ceases to stagger and amaze me. and no , is it punishment for and no, is it punishment for brexit as well, do you think? well, i mean, he was intimating there that macron is saying, no, no, go to see the eu and of course, the eu. they wanted to punish the way out. isn't punish us on the way out. isn't it disgusting, though, if it just disgusting, though, if it just disgusting, though, if it down politics, we're it comes to down politics, we're seeing . kevin said seeing tragedies. kevin said he knows these waters. this will continue. we will see more loss of should not be of life. this should not be about politics. >> yeah, well, you've got >> yeah, well, if you've got a solution, get in touch. >> views us at gbnews.com. >> gb views us at gbnews.com. should you up to date should we bring you up to date with of the headlines with the rest of the headlines as well? the death toll from the maui wildfires reached on maui wildfires reached 89 on saturday, it the saturday, making it the deadliest us wildfire more deadliest us wildfire in more than century . the total is than a century. the total is likely to rise in coming days as search teams with cadaver dogs continue sifting through the ruins .

ruins. >> and china's foreign ministry has condemned a brief us visit by taiwan vice president william lai saying it was a separatist and troublemaker through and through china's repeatedly denounced lai's trip, which includes another stopover in san francisco on wednesday . francisco on wednesday. >> now, here's a fascinating one for you. >> according to a new study, botox injections in neck muscles can improve mental health diseases and even ease anxiety in parkinson's patients. >> more commonly known as cosmetic treatment to smooth wrinkles and front lines . wrinkles and front lines. injections are already used for involuntary neck spasms . involuntary neck spasms. >> well, let's talk now to dr. dooku botox, who's a plastic surgeon and who knows more about this lovely to speak to you. hello. i mean, we all think of botox as being something that goesin botox as being something that goes in the forehead and gives you a lovely i always think about botulinum toxin as being something cosmetic, but actually at the beginning it was used as

medication against uncontrollable muscle spasm . uncontrollable muscle spasm. >> if i'm remember correctly, the first trial for this was donein the first trial for this was done in 1981. really >> yes. >> yes. >> and so parkinson's patients do sometimes get these involuntary spasms in the neck . involuntary spasms in the neck. >> exactly. so it's called cervical dystonia. and it can be a problem on its own or one of the symptoms of parkinson's. an and the way i think botox works is besides releasing the somatic symptoms, which are basically stopping the muscle spasm itself , it gives the patients more confidence because muscle spasms, especially in the neck, can lead to postural problems, can lead to postural problems, can lead to social anxiety and i think by doing this treatment , think by doing this treatment, people get a sense of normality i >>i -- >> i think hm >> i think it's a wonderful story because normally we associate botox with vanity. but of course, this is about quality

of course, this is about quality of life. it's about confidence andifs of life. it's about confidence and it's about people feeling afraid of what's happening to their bodies, of how it's changing. and if this can calm that down and help to ease anxiety and give them confidence that down and help to ease anxi give nd give them confidence that down and help to ease anxigive nd gi\a them confidence that down and help to ease anxigive nd gi\a qualityonfidence that down and help to ease anxigive nd gi\a quality of idence that down and help to ease anxigive nd gi\a quality of life|ce and give them a quality of life and give them a quality of life and the confidence to go out and about, fantastic thing. about, it's a fantastic thing. >> it is. but also >> yeah, it is. it is. but also what you have to take into consideration is that this treatment bespoke. and like treatment is bespoke. and like every medication, it has risks. so in most cases , getting the so in most cases, getting the right dosage from for the patient can have some risks. if you overdo it , you patient can have some risks. if you overdo it, you can patient can have some risks. if you overdo it , you can get you overdo it, you can get something called botulism , which something called botulism, which because it is a it's a poison, isn't it? yes, exactly. and this can have some serious side effects, some of them can be very scary, like difficulty breathing and difficulty swallowing. >> so as you say, it's got to be bespoke to the patient . exactly. bespoke to the patient. exactly. >> it's got to be able to know exactly how the patient. >> exactly. and it has done by somebody with a lot of experience. >> and then if it is done, how long does that effect last? it

depends on every patient. >> so in about 85% of the patients, it stays roughly three months before they need the next treatment. but there are some patients who have immunity against botox, although we have different types of botulinum toxin and they do not seem to respond. so as everything, including vaccines, including pills, it has benefits for a majority of the population, not for everybody. that's why you have to go to a specialist and make sure this is the right treatment for you. >> so if anyone's watching at the moment, who suffers from parkinson's and has these sort of symptoms, would they already know that this is available or is this going to be news to them? >> think they do. >> i don't think they do. >> i don't think they do. >> i don't think they do. >> i think very few people know that toxin used that botulinum toxin can be used as a medication. i think when everyone already hears about botulinum toxin , when they first botulinum toxin, when they first and foremost think about cosmetic use and as you said, vanity. yes. >> and we have stephanie takyi here with us again. welcome

back. it's always a pleasure. it's only been five minutes, but it's been too long. you're talking britney spears, talking about britney spears, who's a botox treatment, but who's had a botox treatment, but not vanity, because here not just vanity, because here we're talking about how botox can help benefit, alleviate people's pain with parkinson's disease , where britney spears is disease, where britney spears is purely vanity. >> she's spoken about how >> and she's spoken about how botox has gone wrong for her and doctor dooku, she said that, you know, the injections have made her look like someone's beat up her look like someone's beat up her she says that her her face. she says that her eyelids have drooped. she said she's had hide away for two she's had to hide away for two weeks in order to get rid of the, you know, symptoms of a bad injection gone wrong . and so, injection gone wrong. and so, you know, hollywood over the past few years has almost become hollywood of these hollywood because of all these different surgeries available. and britney's been quite brave to it going wrong. to speak about it going wrong. so how think what do you so how do you think what do you think when goes wrong think about when it goes wrong for celebrities? >> so, as i said before, every medication that you use , be it medication that you use, be it for cosmetic reasons or for medical reasons, has risks . and

medical reasons, has risks. and what what britney is talking about are normal risks. so you can get bruising after injections and one of the side effects, side effects of botox is eye drooping , which is is eye drooping, which is actually the most common side effect. now, the way to minimise this risk , i would say, is once this risk, i would say, is once you start getting cosmetic botox with a doctor, even if at the first experience you get one of the side effects, you should stick with him because at some point he will know exactly what to do. and unlike other treatments where there's a lot of artistry when it comes to botox, there's a lot of mathematics and mapping the muscles of the face. so basically, when you do cosmetic botox , it's very good to do it botox, it's very good to do it with somebody who knows you very well. now now, as i've read britney was saying that she's replacing that with silicone patches. yes now , those can work

patches. yes now, those can work .thank patches. yes now, those can work . thank you. there are different types. there are types that you hold for 20 minutes. there are types that you have to keep on your face for 4 to 6 hours. now that's a bit uncomfortable when it comes to the way i see things , but at the same time, they avoid the side effects. but obviously there results are not long lasting. they can last anywhere between two hours, up to 4 or 6 hours. the way they work is they basically hydrate the skin and plump the skin. and in some cases even irritate the skin a bit. i don't know if skin a bit. and i don't know if you've noticed morning you've noticed in the morning sometimes when you're a bit puffy, you have less wrinkles. they have the same effect. so i don't think this can be a replacement for botox, but it can help people who, for example, have needle phobia. but except those treatments, we have an array of other treatments that are not that are basically non—invasive. they don't have needles. we have different machineries with different effects, but as far as i am

aware and from my point of view, when it comes to wrinkles, the best treatment is still going to best treatment is still going to be botox. >> and of course there are other scarce or as we covered yesterday, the recreation of the vogue cover models. linda evangelista, evangelista, there are those horror stories as well, where, you know, for celebrities such as the model indah evangelista, she done botox and it actually had a really bad effect on her to face the point where she had to stop modelling. >> and she spoke about how it had such an adverse effect. and it affected her self—confidence . do you think it is worth for celebrities to go to that extreme in the bid for perfection ? perfection? >> oh, i think we live in an age where every thing is so out there . we have so many types of there. we have so many types of social media. i think we spend more time on the screen than interacting with each other. so that makes us more self conscious about what our flaws ,

conscious about what our flaws, which are not really flaws. it is what makes us human. so the answer is it depends on how much anxiety and how much pressure you feel. what i think people should do is take a really good at themselves, create a list with the benefits and the risks, and then think to yourself, is this worth it for me? and if the answer is yes, then go ahead and do it. but be aware of the risks. >> and is it true that people, people can administer botox without a licence? >> this is a very grey area and honestly, i don't understand it. >> so it seems that it is true. what you need is a doctor to prescribe the botox. if you are not a doctor, and then you can administer it. but but honestly , unlike dermal fillers that are reversible, both it is a poison that will block your muscles and for a few months there's nothing

you can do about it. so if done wrong , it can have serious side wrong, it can have serious side effects. so again, this is a grey area that i do not understand exactly, but my opinion is you should always have a medical professional with very good anatomical skills. >> yes, because there's too much to risk, isn't there? >> there is. yeah. well, i always feel glad that i'm too old for all this business. >> me too. >> me too. >> it'sjust >> me too. >> it's just definitely, too. >> it's just me definitely, too. i how old is britney? i mean, how old is britney? >> britney, think she's now >> so britney, i think she's now 41 or 40. >> what on earth is she doing? >> what on earth is she doing? >> and all right. she's >> and it's all right. she's it's not like she's performing as well. know, most of her as well. you know, most of her videos her just videos are in her house just pirouetting around. but again, there pressure for, you there is that pressure for, you know, celebrities to appear youthful and you just hear about these horrific botch jobs where it just goes all wrong. and then obviously they've got followers who are following them, who are then thinking they want to look like person. like that person. >> they become these influencers. then just influencers. and then it just snowballs. yeah. yeah. fascinating guys. fascinating topic, though, guys. absolutely thanks absolutely fascinating. thanks very you very much. thank

gb news. welcome back. >> you're watching and listening to breakfast with anne and martin and with stephanie as well, because we've got more more gossip to talk about. the green goddess is still with us and on the green issue, there's and on the green issue, there's an argument over a tree that man, robbie williams, robbie williams, has landed in hot water with his neighbours. >> so he obviously lives in a plush mansion. who's his

neighbour? well jemmy neighbour? london. well jemmy pageis neighbour? london. well jemmy page is his neighbour. i don't know if it's jemmy page who's complaining this issue, complaining about this issue, but have had a previous but the two have had a previous falling . so robbie has a 70 falling out. so robbie has a 70 foot rubina tree outside of his house and he's planned to . he house and he's planned to. he sent a planning application to the borough of kensington and chelsea saying that basically it's decaying at the base and he would like to cut out because it's affecting his garden wall. he last year put an application which the council rejected because they said there wasn't enough evidence of decay . but enough evidence of decay. but his neighbours have now got annoyed because they're saying, look, no reason for look, there's no reason for this. robbie keeps on this. like robbie keeps on acting all lovely trees acting down all the lovely trees in neighbourhood . in the neighbourhood. >> he's done it before. >> oh, he's done it before. >> oh, he's done it before. >> previously >> yeah, he's been previously been called and been found guilty for environmental vandalism because he tried to get rid of 14 plants. but of course it's a big green issue in the neighbourhood . the neighbourhood. >> i wonder because i saw a sympathised with robbie, my neighbour. if you're watching dev, my neighbour has got a tree

that's completely rotted through in the middle. my lime tree also had that and mine was condemned and had to be cut down because that's dangerous. >> yeah, exactly. >> yeah, exactly. >> you could go over in a storm. i had to apply for a tree surgeon gave it a basically condemned it. and when a tree is officially condemned, you officially condemned, then you can chance. yeah. so can give it the chance. yeah. so i wonder if rob is trying on because a tree is dangerous. because if a tree is dangerous. well, that's then. there's well, that's it then. there's a legitimate fail it. legitimate reason to fail it. well he's saying. well that's what he's saying. >> it's diseased, >> because if it's diseased, he's saying it might break or it might fall as well. but his issue where he lives issue is because where he lives issue is because where he lives is protected the tree is being protected by the tree preservation that preservation order. so that means cannot be means that it cannot be cut down, uprooted or damaged without the local authorities written consent. so they've already him before. so already denied him before. so he's come back a year later. so clearly it is issue, but he's clearly it is an issue, but he's got green friendly neighbours who that tree kept. who want that tree kept. >> anybody out there who knows about the tree about the tpo, the tree preservation order, they officially that the tree officially means that the tree is logged as a tree of special protection. you can have them failed, but it's difficult and they have to be inspected . he

they have to be inspected. he can afford the inspection. yeah, but these are the sort of things that neighbours fall out about. >> but seen a picture of >> but i've seen a picture of it. it is an enormous tree , very it. it is an enormous tree, very big. and you can only suspect as well, it looks as though it probably . shadows cast probably should. shadows cast a shadow garden. shadow over his entire garden. >> why he tried >> well, that's why he tried to get rid also 14. he tried to get rid of also 14. he tried to prune plants his garden prune 14 plants in his garden because he's saying can't because he's saying he can't have of holland park have the view of holland park from his mansion as well. but clearly his neighbours are viewing differently and do viewing it differently and do feel should feel like these should be protected. if think protected. because if you think about kensington, quite an about kensington, it's quite an area conservation . so, you area of conservation. so, you know, neighbours want know, for neighbours who want that but if you've that stuff there, but if you've got tree that's shading your got a tree that's shading your entire garden, you can of entire garden, you can sort of just house suppose . just move house i suppose. >> can, yes, i mean >> but it, you can, yes, i mean i would have thought couldn't they negotiate and just trim it back a bit or something. >> but the thing is people get incredibly territorial about about trees. i mean my dad is the same . my dad loves chopping the same. my dad loves chopping down. he's probably watching now, chopper, know now, bob, the chopper, you know , he's always out chopping down trees. for fun. but trees. he does it for fun. but people fall out all the time

welcome back . you're watching welcome back. you're watching and listening to breakfast here with anne and martin shall we

have a look and see what's in today's newspapers ? today's newspapers? >> i think no, we haven't got them. >> no, we're not. we're not doing the headlines. we'll go straight straight into the stories. we've got emma wolf with us and james waldhausen, thank you much for coming thank you very much for coming back. this is a story back. emma, this is a good story you've found the mail about you've found in the mail about eight who don't leave eight people who don't leave good enough tips at restaurants i >> -- >> well, apparently, apparently these chic saint—tropez restaurants are blacklisting some some british tourists over there over their failure to stump up really, really big tips . it's basically it's the it's the super swish bistros in in santa fe and they're making and they've always done this i think bar owners and bistro and restaurant owners at the top places they have their list of their favourite clients. they have list of their have their list of their favourite but what favourite customers. but what they're doing is they're compiling sneaky databases they're doing is they're c is|piling sneaky databases they're doing is they're c is showing sneaky databases they're doing is they're c is showing which eaky databases they're doing is they're cis showing which dinersatabases they're doing is they're cis showing which diners areiases , is showing which diners are spending most, but also spending the most, but also which leaving. which diners aren't leaving. really lovely big chunky american style tips and actually

it's illegal in france. they shouldn't be doing this because there's already the 15% service charge, which is added to the bill automatically. so the mayor of saint—tropez saying of saint—tropez is saying saint—tropez mayor sylvie cyr is saying this is this is illegal practise. and it must cease immediately. shouldn't be blacklisting people for not not paying blacklisting people for not not paying enough. >> i've always had a problem with things like this because as a brit, i'm not naturally a tipper tipping tipping is something that was kind of foisted first foisted upon me when i first started going america, started going to america, particularly where particularly las vegas, where i spent too, way too and spent way too, way too long. and you're tipping, oh , you have you're tipping, oh, you have to tip. this of thing, tip. but this kind of thing, it's like they probably already get paid a stack. now everyone that goes is minted. and that goes there is minted. and the of like shaming the idea of like shaming people because high because they don't tip high enough, just think, who do you enough, i just think, who do you think are? think you are? >> well, it's true. and you'll get salty answer in new york get a salty answer in new york city don't tip a cabbie. city if you don't tip a cabbie. there's doubt of that. but there's no doubt of that. but i think, you know, we've got to be realistic about this, not just in america restaurant have favoured in america restaurant have favoure(film stars. you know, people, film stars. you know, this is human nature and it's

not going to go away no matter what the mayor says. but a tip should be earned. >> i think a tip should be earned. but worked in new earned. but i've worked in new york. i've worked in america as lowly, kind well, you know, lowly, kind of. well, you know, those difficult those those difficult jobs like waitressing, you rely waitressing, where you do rely on the tip. you know, you take home end of the day, home $100 at the end of the day, that's your tip. paid that's your tip. you're paid almost nothing. i think in almost nothing. so i think in america, is part of the america, it is part of the culture here, not so much. but this sandra pay thing, this whole sandra pay thing, it's about spending it's really about who's spending a spending £55 on a lot, who's spending £55 on their borlotti and saddle their borlotti beans and saddle of £80 their lobster to of lamb, £80 on their lobster to puddings for £22. so it's who's spending a lot they don't want to bother who come to bother with people who come in for a coffee, so they in with for a coffee, so they don't really want tourists do they. they want the they. they want they want the local rich people or the local very rich people or the local very rich people or the local or the tourists, but who are celebrities who, know, are celebrities who, you know, who lot of money. i think who earn a lot of money. i think who earn a lot of money. i think who who are willing to spend lot. >> oh, it must be said that hospitality is a long hours, labour intensive, live, hot, sweaty, tough and often rude from punters industry. so tips, you know, let's not knock them.

it's no don't get waiters and waitresses are not paid a lot whereas of course these restaurants are raking it in. >> i agree with you. martin but but the of actual waiting but the sort of actual waiting staff not to going be paid staff are not to going be paid a huge amount, certainly not the kitchen staff. >> and never know whether you >> and i never know whether you should bill. a, should add it onto your bill. a, we'll it, it by machine. we'll pay it, pay it by machine. do then get the money? do they then get the money? >> if you don't leave the. yeah, it's a difficult one. same with same hairdresser, same same with your hairdresser, same with do you with everything. how do you kind of what's best way to do it? of what's the best way to do it? >> i thought walking into >> but i thought walking into pubs you pay card and pubs now and you pay by card and it gratuity yes or say it says gratuity yes or no. say all you've done. is that what i get amazed is the supermarket. >> supermarket asking get amazed is the supermarket. >> paysupermarket asking get amazed is the supermarket. >> pay £1.20 narket asking get amazed is the supermarket. >> pay £1.20 and at asking get amazed is the supermarket. >> pay £1.20 and they> pay £1.20 and they say, you pay £1.20 and they say, would you like to add £0.80 for a charity? no, don't a local charity? no, i don't want to double my bill. i mean, i'd to know, i will i'd love to you know, i will donate to a charity when i want to. but offering you the option obe £1 for ukraine. >> no. it's bombarded all >> no. well, it's bombarded all the anyway. i'm being a bit the time anyway. i'm being a bit mean spirited let's move mean spirited today. let's move on. james is the banking crisis story rolls on this time. what's this dodgy comments about an arab? just arab. this dodgy comments about an ara the just arab.

this dodgy comments about an ara the deliciously arab. this dodgy comments about an ara the deliciously named b. this dodgy comments about an ara the deliciously named sir >> the deliciously named sir sherard cowper—coles. i've sherard cowper—coles. and i've got to show your viewers just how civil service he looks . he's how civil service he looks. he's straight out of. yes, minister. he just a few days ago, he was saying how we ought to be nice to huawei. the chinese telecoms company , and to be nasty to them company, and to be nasty to them was to follow america into the abyss . now was to follow america into the abyss. now he's come out and said that the arab mind is empty compared with the chinese mind . compared with the chinese mind. and, well, you know, it's pretty insulting. and it also reveals that he knows nothing about arab science. you know , edmund haley science. you know, edmund haley of haley's comet fame really admired the conquest of arabs had made through islamic astronomy in helping him do his work. and you know, syrians and libyans . libyans. >> what was the context then of this comment? why did he why did he make this? >> because if you're, you know, off the cuff chatham house rules

among people, you know, people like us, you know, you tend to say silly things and that's what he did or racist things. yeah. and you know, it's very foolish if you look at islamic calligraphy , you know, i'm no calligraphy, you know, i'm no fan of islam and i'm really no fan of islam and i'm really no fan of islam and i'm really no fan of islamism. but when they made scientific , aesthetic, made scientific, aesthetic, literary accomplishment, it's all credit to them. you know, they're human beings. >> it's all about something else that gets us divided. emma, let's move to on we had this conversation, didn't we, a couple of days ago about is it time to forgive prince harry because he was left off the military announcements the military announcements for the honours, apparently honours, but apparently the pubuc honours, but apparently the public charitable mood. >> they're not really around. 52% are saying that they would support harry being removed. and he's fifth in line. he's currently fifth in line. >> brexit again. >> brexit again. >> yeah, there we go. it's well no , 27% said they were no, 27% said that they were opposed to the idea of harry being stripped of his of his role. so he's fifth in line. he's behind william and then the

three children george charlotte and louis and 52% of the population or the people surveyed anyway, it was a poll of 1500 people say that he should be removed from the order of succession so that he wouldn't become king in five successions time, as it were. >> it is pretty extraordinary. i mean, fifth in line, he left this country. there would have to be a lot of accidents to happen. sadly, for him to ever be offered the post of king. but but he's a non—working royal. >> he's a non—working royal. and i think the fact that he decided it's not as though , you know, he it's not as though, you know, he did public statements did he's made public statements saying want to saying he doesn't want to be part the royal family. he part of the royal family. he left which isn't left this country, which isn't in he left the in itself, but he left the country , doesn't to be part country, doesn't want to be part of firm published his of the firm published his memoir. really made memoir. he's really made it quite clear that with his quite clear that along with his sidekick, he does not want sidekick, that he does not want to part this this to be part of this this institution of ours. and i think that's this comes from. that's where this comes from. >> it's odd that his place, >> yes, it's odd that his place, as fifth in line, is still there. >> well, he would like to govern a even though he doesn't a country even though he doesn't really want to be part of the

royal family. you know, mean, royal family. you know, i mean, you what's known as you know what's known as cakeism, it? cakeism, isn't it? >> yes, exactly. >> yes, exactly. >> you'd do it from >> you'd have to do it from montecito, wouldn't he? yeah. okay james, students can't cope with university. well you know, i'm as ready as any university professor to criticise students for , you know, not coming up to for, you know, not coming up to par and not working hard enough. >> and i'm tough on them because it's the best way to get them along . however, in this case, along. however, in this case, what's happened is that the students who were arbitrary , students who were arbitrary, really marked by teachers with their a—levels marked upwards generally get to university and then can't cope. and although i'm, you know, critical of indulge ing the youth, i have to say that that whole episode when the national education union and the national education union and the government conspired to prevent children and adolescents going to university and going to school all through the lockdowns was an absolute disgrace. and we're still paying the price for

it. so in this case, i'm reasonably sympathetic to people who were given three straight a's actually were dunces. they get to university and they can't cope. >> yeah, because they're saying here this is this has to led a 30% increase in dropout rates because they're basically marked up. >> but when they get there, they can't make the grade. >> well, that's it. you know, it's doing nobody any favours to stroke them and tell them that they're great and it's doing nobody any favours, especially the parents as well , to lock the parents as well, to lock them down. >> and it's getting them into big debt. >> it is. it is. but i would i would say it's more than just the fact that it was teacher assessment throughout the pandemic and during pandemic and that during lockdown, it's probably lockdown, i think it's probably key tragedy of keeping key that that tragedy of keeping young, people young, you know, young people out schools and colleges has out of schools and colleges has had damage. had incalculable damage. and there arriving at university, probably three years of probably after three years of this lockdown. okay. we're all recovering. but they were young people. you've gone from people. imagine you've gone from 14 or you've gone from 10 14 to 17 or you've gone from 10 to it's it's formative to 13. it's a it's formative years of your life when you didn't social contact, you

didn't have social contact, you pretty much , you know, in your pretty much, you know, in your bedroom. there's just so much damage was done lockdown that damage was done by lockdown that i we're seeing this kind i think we're seeing this kind of people do of fallout where people do arrive at university with possibly , you know, unrealistic possibly, you know, unrealistic expectations . expectations. >> yeah, and let's not forget matt hancock wants more and better and stronger lockdowns. so feeling is still out so the feeling is still out there that we can escape this episode and ignore it instead of paying episode and ignore it instead of paying attention . paying attention. >> i always wonder what might have happened had we not locked down. would have seen down. i mean, we would have seen deaths wouldn't we deaths, wouldn't we? would we have seen in that age group what would have happened, what would have wrong? would have happened, what would have i wrong? would have happened, what would have i know|g? would have happened, what would have i know we don't want to >> and i know we don't want to replay this, but what would replay all this, but what would have been wrong with protecting the vulnerable letting the vulnerable and letting the rest get on it? well, rest of us get on with it? well, that's flu runs rampant that's what flu runs rampant through. have through. lots of us would have been to cope just fine and been able to cope just fine and lots of us had covid and coped just fine. >> they did that in >> well, they did that in countries sweden. did countries like sweden. they did it like like florida it in states like like florida and and, you know, the and texas. and, you know, the outcomes relatively outcomes were relatively similar. from similar. let's move on from covid. it's a bit of a downer and let's get on to something

that really cheers emma. the correct, the correct pronunciation thing. he pronunciation of the thing. he puts cream. puts clotted cream. >> you can't say it. puts clotted cream. >> you you can't say it. puts clotted cream. >> you you sgyi'l say it. puts clotted cream. >> you you say it.;ay it. >> you can't say it. >>— >> you can't say it. >> i want to say it because 60% of people responding to this survey that c o. of people responding to this sursy that c o. of people responding to this surs c that c o. of people responding to this surs c 0 that c o. of people responding to this surs c o n that c o. of people responding to this surs c o n e1at c o. of people responding to this surs c o n e that 0. of people responding to this surs c o n e that you put >> s c o n e that you put clotted cream and jam on should be pronounced to rhyme with bone scone . so it should be scone. so it should be pronounced scone. yes, i say scone. >> do you. i do . >> do you. i do. >>— >> do you. i do. >> oh. only 40% say scone which is clearly the correct. i say scone scone . scone scone. >> and what's really interesting about this is the region where you come from dictates how you say it. and i'm one point because if you're from the midlands, you say, i midlands, like me, you say, i thought it was. midlands, like me, you say, i tho ight it was. midlands, like me, you say, i thoi thought s. midlands, like me, you say, i thoi thought scone was a posh >> i thought scone was a posh way saying, so did i. way of saying, so did i. i thought it would be a more southern thing to be saying. yeah, the, yeah, but actually, yeah, the, the scone pronunciation. but what like is that clotted what i also like is that clotted cream sales have surged 300% and jam sales have surged 40% during the coronation everyone was having lots of scones and cream, cream and scone and the scone is typically from the north and

scotland. >> is that right? >> is that right? >> yeah, exactly. >> yeah, exactly. >> and that would be why i say north of england. >> scotland and northern ireland while people living rest while people living in the rest of britain, they use a mix of britain, well, they use a mix of britain, well, they use a mix of . of both. >> but always thought that, as >> but i always thought that, as you said, that posh people you said, that that posh people said scone and that's why i say scone scone because i'm rough as you we get you like. but also then we get into of do you put into the debate of do you put the cream on first or the on first? >> oh, yes. clearly the cream goes on first and then a dollop of jam on top. well, these are elemental issues on a sunday morning, so they're absolutely important. >> i was just looking for a story. i that you go to story. i know that if you go to highgrove an afternoon highgrove for an afternoon out, you clotted cream you get scones and clotted cream and the rest of it. and all the rest of it. >> and which they put on first? >> it costs. it costs a bomb, apparently. yeah. >> well, for me, it has to be the cost cream first, because the cost of cream first, because simple physics. will simple physics. because jam will add here to cream. whereas if you put if you put jam on then you put if you put jam on then you never ever get the cream to stick it just doesn't stick to jam. it just doesn't it's not it all the it's not true. it wipes all the jam why would put the cream. >> but yeah so you put the jam on first to me. the cream is

like butter, which you would put first toast and you first onto toast and then you would put the jam on. so the cream does that. yeah it depends on quality the great on the quality of the great merit is it's all three dimensional. >> you know, the more greedy you are, can kind of are, the more you can kind of stack it up a tower. >> yes. if it's squirty cream, you you'd put that on you see, you'd put that on second, but that would not be posh cream. >> it's not squeezy squirty cream rac. >> about that. it >> sorry about that. yes, it does depend quality of does depend on the quality of the but if you've got the cream, but if you've got a view, then us know. gb views view, then let us know. gb views at gbnews.com have got time at gbnews.com have we got time for more? don't for one more? i don't know. i don't think we have, have we? no, we don't have. no. let us know your your tendency is know what your your tendency is for scones or scones and what you on and what you put on them and in what order. we'd love to know. yeah. meanwhile, very meanwhile, thank you very much to both of you. we'll see you again in an hour. we've got lots more come, including more to come, including celebrating england's lionesses more to come, including celebra done ngland's lionesses more to come, including celebra done ng|well, lionesses more to come, including celebra done ng|well, liorthey're who've done so well, but they're up matildas . they up against the matildas. they are, they? are, aren't they? >> now down under in >> they are now down under in sydney. home game for the matildas. >> join us again after the news looks like things are heating

years? alison in aberdeen has beenin years? alison in aberdeen has been in touch. hi alison, she said, and you were saying that old trees must have some stories to tell. we visited one of the oldest trees in the uk last week when we were away. it's the yew tree at fortingall perthshire tree at fortingall in perthshire andifs tree at fortingall in perthshire and it's estimated to be 5000 years old. but that one's got a few stories to tell. >> yeah, and as a nottingham lad i remember we went on a school trip to the major oak when i was a very young lad, and in sherwood forest an old. so that tree because we've been told it's where robin hood hung out may a bit of a myth. may have been a bit of a myth. well it nevertheless was a well but it nevertheless was a tree brought alive. tree that brought history alive. and you i always, always and you know, i always, always cherish it very, cherish that tree. it was very, very sad it was vandalised. very sad when it was vandalised. i think it was chopped down in the end. >> oh, yeah. christine says, >> oh, no. yeah. christine says, my >> oh, no. yeah. christine says, my loved trees. her name was my mum loved trees. her name was theresa, and i scattered her ashes tree on the ashes under the tree on the green outside her green outside my house. her ashes would now be absorbed into the and in this way my mum the tree and in this way my mum lives on and when i pass the tree i always say hello, mum, am i daft? no, you're not. no

you're daft. i think that's you're not daft. i think that's absolutely lovely. you're not daft. i think that's absilutely lovely. you're not daft. i think that's absi think lovely. you're not daft. i think that's absi think that's. wonderful >> i think that's a wonderful story. that a great story. isn't that just a great way showing how you can have way of showing how you can have a physical connection a genuine physical connection and those carbon a genuine physical connection and going those carbon a genuine physical connection and going through?:arbon a genuine physical connection and going through? iirbon a genuine physical connection and going through? i think a genuine physical connection and magical1rough? i think a genuine physical connection and magical .ough? i think a genuine physical connection and magical. that'si think a genuine physical connection and magical. that's lovely . that's magical. that's lovely. >> gosh, deborah and milton keynes , my husband wouldn't cut keynes, my husband wouldn't cut a 60 foot tree down in our garden, which was blocking the light to all our neighbours . so light to all our neighbours. so after five years of asking, i waited till he went to work and i got a man in two hours later, no tree . no tree. >> and jeff comes with a good point we get too point of law before we get too excited getting the excited about getting the chainsaw out, jeff says you cannot cut trees between cannot cut down trees between march september are march and september if birds are nesting that's the law. nesting in them. that's the law. good point. >> in canterbury says >> gary in canterbury says regarding robbie williams tree, they there he bought they were there when he bought they were there when he bought the property and probably have been decades . another been there for decades. another rich thinks doing what rich celebrity thinks doing what they like is right. leave the old trees alone. fair point . old trees alone. fair point. >> and it certainly ruffled a few feathers in robbie's manor, and certainly has out there and it certainly has out there in gb news thanks for your input. >> yes, thank you. any more tree stories? keep them coming to our

top story today. the government is pressure to is under further pressure to tackle migrant crossings after yet tragedy in the yet another tragedy in the channel. >> six people died after a small boat sank off the coast of france yesterday with a further 59 people being rescued by british and french coast guards. >> well , joining is our >> well, joining us now is our political correspondent olivia utley a very good morning to utley and a very good morning to you, olivia. this is this is not just a tragedy. it's actually becoming a bit of a political ping becoming a bit of a political ping pong. everybody is ping pong. now everybody is waving around, blaming others . waving around, blaming others. well it absolutely is. >> it's becoming a real political hot potato . and rishi political hot potato. and rishi sunak has said ever since he took office that this time last year that his one of his top priorities, one of those five priorities. he talks about all the time is to stop the migrants crossing the channel in small boats. well, it doesn't look on the face of it like he's done a particularly good job of that last week we crossed the threshold of 100,000 migrants having crossed the channel since 2018. and on thursday we broke

another record 755 migrants in just one day, crossed the channelin just one day, crossed the channel in small boats. it is becoming a real nightmare for the government and the issue is what do we do with them once they get here? suella braverman, they get here? suella braverman, the home secretary, is very, very keen that wherever they go, it is a disincentive live for migrants to come. at the moment that taxpayers are spending £6 million a day on putting up migrants in hotels and the home secretary worries that that essentially encourages people to come over here. pretty nice life living in a four star hotel in pimlico in some cases. so obviously the government is looking into other places to house these migrants, but there is already a backlog of 170,000 waiting for accommodation and they are coming over by the boatload every day. so of course we've got the bibby stockholm, although we know there are now problems with that because of a bacteria found on that. migrants have evacuate. they are have had to evacuate. they are now other now looking ministers into other boats, barges like the bibby , boats, barges like the bibby, stockholm. but there is a

problem with ports not wanting to berth lots and lots of ships. they're looking into student accommodation for migrants. but again, there are problems there . plenty of campuses are already completely full. there is a big lack of accommodation even for students . so that's not a students. so that's not a particularly easy solution in perhaps the best solution for ministers is using old raf headquarters , using old barracks headquarters, using old barracks for housing migrants. but there simply aren't enough of them to deal with this backlog of 170,000 plus all of the migrants who are coming in every single day. so this is turning into a real nightmare for the government and it's very tricky for rishi sunak when he kept kept saying over and over again that tackling this crisis is one of his top priorities. and that he wants to be judged on delivering on it. fascinating >> look at the political fallout this morning. olivia. the daily mail are blaming the french because two boats escorted this flimsy craft out and it got into trouble. the theory is, well,

why weren't they escorted back ashore ? the political game in ashore? the political game in duncan smith is doubling down on that saying these french escorts were madness that offered the veneer of secure city. marco longhi . he's the mp for dudley longhi. he's the mp for dudley conservative. this terrible tragedy should be a wake up call to keir starmers labour and the whole of the left that this is what happens when you oppose our sensible measures to tackle the small boat crisis . stephen small boat crisis. stephen kinnock today in the sunday mirror sheds a bit of light on what labour would offer to do. and apparently olivia, he's saying that the labour party would look at doing a fresh deal with the union to help with the european union to help do that might raise few do this. that might raise a few eyebrows. you >> yes. so every time keir starmer gets asked about this, he says that his his his main policy in this area is to reach a new kind of agreement with the french or with the european union to stop the problem upstream. well, of course , that upstream. well, of course, that is easier said than done this year and last year , the current year and last year, the current government, the conservative

government, the conservative government, have plugged a lot of money into trying to help the french deal with the problem on their own shores . so there are their own shores. so there are now british policemen patrolling on french shores . there are on french shores. there are british policemen in watchtowers on french shores and the french police have been given lots and lots of money by the british. so this this has been this solution sort of has been attempted. but as we've seen from the tragedy yesterday, it doesn't necessary work. there is just too much for the french to be doing. and the incentives for the french simply aren't there. the french don't have the to space house all of these migrants and even if according to the to the dublin agreement, the migrants should be staying in the first safe country, they arrive in. therefore, france, there is no incentive for the french to keep them there. it's useful for them to get them off french shores. so it's a really, really tricky problem. and keir starmer's solution to many seems a bit too simple . simple. >> i said at the beginning,

everybody is trying to blame everybody is trying to blame everybody else because this seems to be a problem that has no solution . no solution. >> it does feel a little bit like a problem that has no solution. one tactic that rishi sunak has been has been trying this year is to make deal agreement with individual countries where there are high number of migrants coming over from. so for example, a few months ago he made a deal with the album . indian prime minister the album. indian prime minister albanians were responsible for 90% of the traffic coming over the channel and the prime minister, rishi sunak , agreed. minister, rishi sunak, agreed. this deal with albania, where albanian migrants can be sent back very, very quickly, very easily without their claims having to be processed in the usual laborious fashion. usual long, laborious fashion. well, that has worked in that there are now far, far fewer albanian migrants coming over the channel. but the issue for rishi sunak this is a real rishi sunak is this is a real many hydra . there is many headed hydra. there is essentially an endless flow of people wanting to come to britain. so great that you

managed to stop the flow of albanians coming over. but we are now seeing a huge, huge number of afghan afghans, which we saw yesterday . really, really we saw yesterday. really, really sadly, we saw six afghan men die on the channel yesterday and turkish rishi sunak is now attempting to make a deal with the turkish. but you imagine the turkish. but you can imagine how will go solve one how this will go solve one problem another. just crops up. >> so olivia , you're in you're >> so olivia, you're in you're in leamington spa today, is that right ? and it's the people's in right? and it's the people's in leamington spa, and you're doing the people's panels. it's going to be very, very interesting for you to find out what people are saying because you to find out what people are say been because you to find out what people are say been the because you to find out what people are say been the number because you to find out what people are say been the number one ecause you to find out what people are say been the number one news; it's been the number one news issue of the week. it meant issue of the week. it was meant to be tories on the front to be the tories on the front foot, the bibby stockholm, you know, that's the boat know, that's the only boat they've managed stop. and they've managed to stop. and then turkey, then the deal with turkey, £3 million, £500 million, half £1 billion going to france seems to be completely ineffective if they're escorting boats offshore. and then just four miles off of france , the british miles off of france, the british services go in and bring them back to dover. what are people

saying to you politically about this topic? it's going to be a massive topic for the next general election , isn't it ? general election, isn't it? >> it is absolutely going to be a huge topic poll after poll shows that the channel crisis is top of people's priority list. over and over again, people want a government who will fix this crisis. the issue is at the moment, the polling shows and this has been echoed by people i've been talking to, neither rishi sunak or keir starmer is trusted on this issue . it's felt trusted on this issue. it's felt by many that rishi sunak is sort of doing his best, but it simply isn't enough. and as you say, a lot of taxpayer money is going on his on his schemes to try and to try and make a difference. but show that very but the numbers show that very little difference being made little difference is being made . 100,000 migrants over here since 2018. meanwhile, keir starmer, as i said there, his his the central tenet of his policy is to stop the problem upstream by having a deal with the french, which is much easier

said than done . so it doesn't said than done. so it doesn't really feel as though he's trusted very much on this issue either . but it'll be really either. but it'll be really interesting to see whether over the months, in that the next few months, in that long lead up to the general election, two parties election, one of the two parties will manage to make a bit of headway because i think if headway because i think if headway is made on this particular that party particular issue, that party could doing very well indeed i >> -- >> thanks emma >> thanks very much indeed for joining us. we look forward to seeing you on camilla tominey show a later on this show a bit later on this morning. you. morning. thank you. >> just feels like, as you >> it just feels like, as you said , it feels like a problem said, it feels like a problem without a solution or at least we have political parties that don't have a solution or any decent ideas. everything they try just failing. decent ideas. everything they try yeah.: failing. decent ideas. everything they try yeah. anding. decent ideas. everything they try yeah. and what's the betting? >> yeah. and what's the betting? would good money on the would you put good money on the fact that the bibby stockholm will be occupied yeah >> it just seems to me like it was going stopped by hook was going to be stopped by hook or crook. or by crook. >> and it was by >> yeah. and it was by legionella. yeah. and you could have. we haven't heard anything about disease about legionnaires disease for years years and suddenly it years and years and suddenly it crops up on the bibby stockholm i >> -- >> and it's worth pointing out that nobody came with any

that nobody came down with any form illness . it was form of illness. it was a precautionary measure . it's precautionary measure. it's like, well, blow me down. they stopped one boat. that's the only boat they yes, it is. >> yes, it is. 8:12 sports news now. and it's a really good news as well, aidan, isn't it? yes. brilliant how the lionesses are doing. >> absolutely. yeah i mean, they pulled it off yesterday. they were losing, actually. and quite pulled it off yesterday. they were oning, actually. and quite pulled it off yesterday. they were on im, actually. and quite pulled it off yesterday. they were on in the tually. and quite pulled it off yesterday. they were on in the game, and quite pulled it off yesterday. they were on in the game, columbia, early on in the game, columbia, we shouldn't written them early on in the game, columbia, we �*really. 1't written them early on in the game, columbia, we �*really. they written them early on in the game, columbia, we �*really. they knockedn them early on in the game, columbia, we �*really. they knocked outem off, really. they knocked out germany the in the group germany in the in the group stage. but yeah, goals by alessia who got the alessia russo who got the winning and lauren got winning goal and lauren hemp got the before half to be the equaliser before half to be say magee you called this say mystic magee you called this one right and i put a few one right and i said i put a few quid on a blooming well for god. >> got video now >> we've got the video now actually to prove that i made this prediction. >> think we can >> right. i think we can probably see it now we've got probably see it now if we've got it. you think the score is it. do you think the score is going be. going to be. >> think gonna be 2—1 to >> i think it's gonna be 2—1 to england. see colombia scoring >> i can see colombia scoring because they're quite adventurous going forward. but i think will too much think england will have too much even james, even even without lauren james, even though have though that video could have been though that video could have beethat it though that video could have bee that it was though that video could have beethat it was published on >> that was it was published on twitter yesterday. that was

brexit? they are laughing at us. well coming up in the next few minutes, we've got the shadow education secretary, bridget phillipson. it'll be interesting to see what she says about labour's view on the migrant crossings . so stick around. this crossings. so stick around. this is

gb news. welcome back. you're watching and listening to breakfast here on gb news with anne and martin.

>> yeah. now returning to our top story today, six people died after a small boat sank in the channel off the french coast yesterday. and the government is under pressure to tackle under further pressure to tackle the migrant crisis. >> joining us now is >> well, joining us now is shadow education secretary bridget phillipson. a very good morning to you. i know you wanted talk about education wanted to talk about education matters, first, we obviously matters, but first, we obviously have to talk to you about the channel and what can channel tragedies and what can be done to stop them . what be done to stop them. what what's your viewpoint . as you what's your viewpoint. as you say, what we've seen is an absolute tragedy. >> it's heartbreaking to see people losing their lives in this way. i think what is essential is that we see action to crack down on the criminal gangs that are exploiting people and much of this and are driving so much of this misery the conservatives. misery under the conservatives. we've in the number misery under the conservatives. weconvictions in the number misery under the conservatives. weconvictions of in the number misery under the conservatives. weconvictions of thesee number misery under the conservatives. weconvictions of these people er of convictions of these people smugglers, that to smugglers, and that needs to change. we also need to make sure we're dealing with the sure that we're dealing with the backlog facing the backlog that we're facing at the moment processing moment. we're not processing cases . that's leading to cases quickly. that's leading to that and meaning that backlog and it's meaning that backlog and it's meaning that all too often people are being housed in completely

unsuitable like unsuitable accommodation like hotels. well bridget, your shadow immigration minister, stephen kinnock, sent a very interesting piece in today's sunday mirror where he seems like flashes got a bit about what labour would plan to do. >> and one of those things he said is a new returns deal with the european union. kevin saunders, who works for border force, told us earlier that's about as likely as platting fog . and another thing he mentions here is to ensure genuine refugees can contribute to britain, which i'm assume wing means quicker access to work visas. so cosy up to the eu and guaranteeing more cheap labour for britain. this sounds like a backdoor . brexit backdoor. brexit >> no, we do need a returns agreement . that's part of the agreement. that's part of the problem that we've got at the moment that we don't. so we absolutely to negotiate absolutely need to negotiate that a deal around that deal and get a deal around returns where it comes to decisions taken . people decisions being taken. people are waiting very, very long are waiting a very, very long time at the moment for decisions to it comes to to be taken where it comes to asylum for those who to be taken where it comes to asylu a for those who to be taken where it comes to asylua genuine for those who to be taken where it comes to asylua genuine to for those who to be taken where it comes to asylua genuine to case those who to be taken where it comes to asylua genuine to case remainvho

to be taken where it comes to asylua genuine to case remain in) have a genuine to case remain in the uk, that's unfair because we should those cases should be processing those cases quickly been through quickly. many have been through incredible trauma and terrible events their lives , and for events in their lives, and for those don't have right to those who don't have a right to be need decisions be here, we need decisions quickly so we make sure quickly so that we can make sure that returned to that people are returned to their home or to the their home country or to the third country from which they their home country or to the third havetry from which they their home country or to the third have comem which they their home country or to the third have come .| which they their home country or to the third have come . so 1ich they their home country or to the third have come . so it's they their home country or to the third have come . so it's alley their home country or to the third have come . so it's all about may have come. so it's all about having fairer system that having a fairer system that deals quickly. i've deals with cases quickly. i've seen lots of a member seen lots of cases as a member of parliament where you're talking about people waiting years get an interview, years even to get an interview, to have their case heard and to have it dealt with. i think that is just not sustainable. >> yeah, bridget, i want to >> yeah, bridget, i just want to push point. you've push you on that point. you've made clear fast made it clear that the fast tracking the process is tracking the asylum process is a is a policy. i want to push you on this point, though, ensuring genuine refugees can contribute to britain . that means work to britain. that means work visas for asylum seekers, doesn't it ? is that something doesn't it? is that something you'd support ? well, once people you'd support? well, once people have had their case determined andifs have had their case determined and it's clear that they have a right to be in this country, then yes, they will have the opportunity work and to play opportunity to work and to play a full part in our society.

>> many people been >> many people who've been through process have got a through that process have got a lot skills and lot that lot of skills and a lot that they could offer our country. at they could offer our country. at the moment, they're languishing in , in unsuitable in hotels, in unsuitable accommodation years. accommodation and it's years. it's costing all a fortune as it's costing us all a fortune as a country because of the government's failure to government's total failure to process and process cases quickly. and effectively. it's not fair for those people who are waiting for cases be heard and it's not cases to be heard and it's not fair rest the country ehhen >> think there's no doubt, is >> i think there's no doubt, is there, this is going to be there, that this is going to be a very big election issue , too. a very big election issue, too. so when we going to hear so when are we going to hear exactly what labour would do which would actually sound convincing ? well if we win the convincing? well if we win the next election, if the british people put their trust in us, we'll inherit a completely broken and immigration system. >> everything that we're talking about now is down 13 years of about now is down to 13 years of complete failure from the government to actually with government to actually deal with any plan is any of this. labour's plan is making sure that we are tackling the criminal gangs are the criminal gangs that are exploiting people that get exploiting people, that we get a cross policing unit to do cross border policing unit to do that, that we do get returns us to european union, to france

to the european union, to france and countries, also and other countries, and also that we do move away from ending hotel , which is costing hotel use, which is costing millions every day and millions of pounds every day and deaung millions of pounds every day and dealing the backlog of dealing with the backlog of cases we've at the cases that we've got at the moment. got a huge backlog moment. we've got a huge backlog . being processed . cases are not being processed and sustainable. but and that isn't sustainable. but bridget, a returns deal with the eu, as i explained , we spoke to eu, as i explained, we spoke to a former chief of border force who just says that simply won't work. >> there's no incentive for the european union to take these people back. they've done nothing leaving . we nothing to stop them leaving. we spent million, half £1 spent £500 million, half £1 billion with the french. and yet yesterday they still happened. billion with the french. and yet yest�*no ay they still happened. billion with the french. and yet yest�*no doubtr still happened. billion with the french. and yet yest�*no doubt more happened. billion with the french. and yet yest�*no doubt more disastersl. billion with the french. and yet yest�*no doubt more disasters will and no doubt more disasters will continue so i put it continue to happen. so i put it to you again , you know, what's to you again, you know, what's a labour going to do to actually stop boats arriving in the stop the boats arriving in the first place ? first place? >> the only answer has to be more effective working with our international partners and that includes the french. that's why we said would the we have said we would end the unworkable and unethical rwanda scheme and we would put the money that saved from that money that was saved from that into cross border into delivering a cross border policing sure that policing unit to make sure that we effectively with we are working effectively with

our international but our international partners, but also we're cracking down also that we're cracking down on the that do the criminal gangs that do exploit people. and, you know , exploit people. and, you know, we direct consequence of we see the direct consequence of those and the tragedies those gangs and the tragedies that channel under that we see in the channel under this government, prosecutions have fallen. mean, is, have fallen. i mean, crime is, you know , prosecutions of all you know, prosecutions of all crime right country crime right across our country have fallen. but that also appues have fallen. but that also applies to the criminal gangs who are making money out of human misery. and they are running rings around this government . government. >> okay. you're also here to talk about education this morning , of course, and the all morning, of course, and the all important issue of excessive spending on supplies , teachers spending on supplies, teachers due recruitment gaps. now, my due to recruitment gaps. now, my mrs. is a teacher. she says quite a lot of teachers are going to the supply side of things because they're demoralised, they're fed up of the profession and they find that being a supply teacher works them works quite well for them because paid more and because they get paid more and yet they don't have all the politics, homework. politics, all the homework. so is this something that's a viable and how viable solution and how much would ? would it cost? >> absolutely. the experience that you're just describing there is what i hear, the length

and breadth of the country that teachers increasingly teachers are increasingly feeling undervalued feeling demoralised, undervalued , not appreciated for what they're and workload they're doing. and that workload pressures driving lots and pressures are driving lots and lots out of the lots of teachers out of the profession. have to profession. we have to re—establish teaching as a really and respected really valued and respected profession in our country . and profession in our country. and labour's plans would deliver more teachers into our classrooms. would the tax classrooms. we would end the tax breaks schools breaks that private schools enjoy that money into enjoy and put that money into recruiting more teachers . but recruiting more teachers. but alongside of the alongside that, all of the different incentive payments and bursaries are currently bursaries that are currently available, want to simplify available, we want to simplify that to make it more effective in keeping teachers the in keeping teachers in the classroom . but also at the end classroom. but also at the end of two years, when teachers have done early career done their early career framework where they've, you know , done extra training and know, done extra training and have invested in their professionalism , we want to professionalism, we want to recognise that with an extra payment at the end that too. payment at the end of that too. but need deal some but we do need to deal with some of challenges in our of the wider challenges in our schools i think young schools too. and i think young people's mental health and some of pressures of those wider pressures in society that bigger society are part of that bigger picture. that means that lots of teachers just they teachers feel it's just they can't stay within teaching. and

i want to make teaching a really attractive place for people to work more . work once more. >> yes, teaching. i mean, we need teachers . you're you're need teachers. and you're you're planning recruit an planning to recruit an additional 6500 teachers. how will you, though, change the morale completely? how will you ensure identifies young people coming out of university into teaching young well, education will be a really big priority for the next labour government if win that election . if we win that election. >> i want to make sure that >> and i want to make sure that teachers are and teachers are valued and respected. across teachers are valued and rechountry across teachers are valued and rechountry , across teachers are valued and rechountry , when across teachers are valued and resrcountry , when i've across teachers are valued and resrcountry , when i've spoken to the country, when i've spoken to lots of and school lots of teachers and school leaders often they've leaders is that often they've felt by this felt belittled by this government that don't feel government, that they don't feel they've with they've been treated with respect. alongside that too, respect. but alongside that too, that they're being asked to deal with of problems with lots of wider problems within and they're just within society and they're just not able to do that. so we would put into our put extra support into our schools around mental health. put extra support into our schoof. around mental health. put extra support into our scho of youngd mental health. put extra support into our schoof young peopleil health. put extra support into our schoof young people arezalth. lots of young people are struggling with that at the moment and our primary moment. and in our primary schools deliver schools we would deliver breakfast every breakfast clubs for every primary in england. primary school child in england. so sure that children get so making sure that children get a really good start to the day.

but that the but also we know that the evidence backs up the fact that where breakfast clubs are effective also in effective is actually also in driving up attendance and leading to better academic outcomes for children too . so outcomes for children too. so all of that together dealing with workload pressures, with the workload pressures, making teachers are making sure that teachers are respected and valued and actually education right respected and valued and ac'thely education right respected and valued and ac'the heart education right respected and valued and ac'the heart of education right respected and valued and ac'the heart of nationalon right respected and valued and ac'the heart of national lifeight at the heart of national life once more . i think all of that once more. i think all of that and there'll be much more besides. mark a real besides. it will mark a real step change in how we approach things government. step change in how we approach thirwell, government. step change in how we approach thirwell, education,1ent. step change in how we approach thirwell, education, ant. >> well, education, an education, education. it sounds like tony blair all over again . like tony blair all over again. of course, he was recently on stage with your man , keir stage with your man, keir starmer. all sounds great on papen starmer. all sounds great on paper, big difference starmer. all sounds great on pap

government experienced in 97. >> and we have seen what's happened when conservatives happened when the conservatives crashed the economy what crashed the economy and what happens don't have happens when you don't have serious about how you'll serious plans about how you'll manage economy taking a manage the economy and taking a responsible approach. that's why everything we set out, everything that we set out, we've got a plan behind it about how pay for how we're going to pay for it and costs alongside and the costs running alongside it. more it. so we would put more teachers into classrooms by teachers into our classrooms by ending breaks that ending the tax breaks that private the private schools enjoy. the evidence is clear that would raise sums of money raise considerable sums of money that invest in state that we can invest in state education. so for it's also education. so for me, it's also a priorities . you a question of priorities. you know, vast majority of a question of priorities. you kno children vast majority of a question of priorities. you kno children got majority of a question of priorities. you kno children go to najority of a question of priorities. you kno children go to state :y of our children go to state schools, we could that schools, we could raise that money by ending tax breaks on private schools deliver private schools to deliver a better more teachers, better education, more teachers, better education, more teachers, better mental health, support better education, more teachers, betall mental health, support better education, more teachers, betall meour. health, support better education, more teachers, betall meour children. ;upport for all of our children. >> finally , what >> okay, bridget, finally, what would you to people who say would you say to people who say this sounds like the politics of envy ? because not everybody who envy? because not everybody who goes school is a goes to a private school is a toff or goes to a place like eton, a massively eton, or is it a massively wealthy overseas student , a wealthy overseas student, a great many aspirational middle class parents put everything into private education. they just about can afford to survive

because they want the best for their child . those are the kinds their child. those are the kinds of children that will be forced out the sector if out of the private sector if labour scraps the tax breaks and it will those kids back it will put those kids back into the it won't the state system. it won't affect the richest. it will continue pay the extortionate continue to pay the extortionate fees. so this tax on aspiration actually , be it hammers those actually, be it hammers those who are striving hard to make ends meet to get the best for their children. this is a tax on aspiration from the labour party . we i think the vast majority of people in our country who send their children to state schools are also aspirational, ambitious, and they want the best for their children too. >> won't ever criticise >> i won't ever criticise individual parents for the choices they make and choices that they make and i have no problem with parents choose to opt for a private school . there sometimes school. there are sometimes lots of why parents will do of reasons why parents will do that, priority as that, but my priority as secretary of state for education in labour government secretary of state for education in to labour government secretary of state for education in to drive )ur government secretary of state for education in to drive up government secretary of state for education in to drive up standardsnt secretary of state for education in to drive up standards in our be to drive up standards in our state schools. and think state schools. and i think ending the tax breaks on private schools straightforward schools is a straightforward and relatively measure that relatively modest measure that would allow us to more to get

would allow us to do more to get more teachers into our classrooms, deliver better classrooms, to deliver better outcomes our children i >> -- >> well, m >> well, that's one we can ask our viewers about, too. thank you much indeed joining you very much indeed for joining us bridget us this morning. i'm bridget phillipson. you have got phillipson. and if you have got a on that private versus a view on that private versus state education and whether or not if you're struggling to make ends meet and send your kids to a private school, whether or not something like would something like that would actually put the kibosh on actually just put the kibosh on it, get touch . yeah. it, then get in touch. yeah. >> i went to >> i mean, i went to a comprehensive and i'm proud of that, also respect that, but i also really respect and save all and admire people who save all their money, particularly, you know, asian know, like a lot of asian parents. i know people that own the they parents. i know people that own the everything they parents. i know people that own the everything into they parents. i know people that own the everything into their they put everything into their children's education and they're struggling the best for struggling to get the best for their child. they're the parents and the that and they're the kids that be forced of the system by by forced out of the system by by labour's tax this way. just labour's tax this way. i just don't it's simple as don't think it's as simple as they make out. >> and all it's all >> no. and it's all it's all about anyway, isn't it about choice anyway, isn't it really? should all have about choice anyway, isn't it realchoice should all have about choice anyway, isn't it realchoice . should all have about choice anyway, isn't it realchoice . anyway, uld all have about choice anyway, isn't it realchoice . anyway, uld us have about choice anyway, isn't it realchoice . anyway, uld us know the choice. anyway, let us know your . vaiews@gbnews.com your view. vaiews@gbnews.com all the papers up next. this is dup news breakfast

with welcome back. you're watching and listening to breakfast here on gb news with anne and martin. should we have a look at today's newspapers and we can see the front page there of the sunday times leading with almost 30% of students quitting some degree courses because they're struggling to cope at university and the mail asks, was the french patrol boat to blame for the migrant drownings

yesterday in the channel? the sunday telegraph reveals ministers will hire more barges to house asylum seekers and will host up to 5000 people in student accommodation and office blocks and the observer leads with calls for safer routes across the channel. >> there's also a picture of lioness alex greenwood console ing, a colombian player after england won in the quarterfinals. that's the picture you were talking about. >> a lovely >> that's right. it's a lovely picture of compassion, isn't it? lovely and the star says that boffins have come up with a secret plan to stop an alien invasion by inviting them to play invasion by inviting them to play chess. we'll look into that later, find out what's going on absolutely bonkers and help us make sense of that. >> we have james woodhouse , an >> we have james woodhouse, an broadcaster author , and emma broadcaster and author, and emma wolf, of course, journalist and author. so welcome to both of you. emma, shall we kick off with one of yours? yeah, very, very interesting topic. heartbreak for men who are childless in the times . yeah. childless in the times. yeah. >> this is a story that absolutely just jumped out at me. we talk a lot about women

and about women's desire to be mothers. and you know, the pain of women that can't become mothers naturally themselves. mothers naturally or themselves. but we don't about men so but we don't talk about men so much. don't barely much. we don't talk barely at all. we don't talk about men who are childless who are childless and who are terribly and who are terribly broody and who are seeing families around them, who are seeing other people being dads and can't have children, haven't had children and meet women. maybe who've already passed that stage in their life for whatever i've for whatever reason. i've written much about own written so much about my own infertility then having a infertility and then having a baby. that kind of journey . and baby. that kind of journey. and we talk a lot about women. we don't feel. don't talk about how men feel. a quarter of men now in their in their 40s are over the age of 42, have not had children and would and many of them would to . love >> it's a very interesting societal trend. we're having children when we're older, we're having fewer children. a lot of thatis having fewer children. a lot of that is the cost of it . having fewer children. a lot of that is the cost of it. but also there's career element . so there's the career element. so a lot of professional women now are putting off having children. they might to have ivf or they might have to have ivf or they have at they can't have them at all because leave long.

because they leave it so long. and meanwhile, i used to and meanwhile, the man i used to write this, it really write about this, it really does impact i impact men. i mean, i was incredibly broody. i wanted my kids is not a word that kids broody is not a word that we associate with men. we associate with with men. >> we think broody is about your maternal, feeling maternal, that maternal feeling or being pregnant, or feeling of being pregnant, the of holding the feeling of holding your baby. feeling that baby. but it's a feeling that men can have to being broody . yeah. >> and this men who are >> and is this men who are single they married to single or are they married to women who don't want babies ? or women who don't want babies? or is it just about everything? >> well, it's this has >> well, it's this man has written a book, a chap called robert nurden a book robert nurden has written a book about this, which is why it's in the and on the sunday times and he is on his or sorry. no, he his own and met or sorry. no, he has a partner, was has a partner, but he was meeting women around the age of sort his in his 40s, in sort of in his in his 40s, in their 40s who didn't want children. so his his partner now actually has children and has grown up sons. but it's not the same. oh, no. grown up sons. but it's not the sanjames, no. grown up sons. but it's not the sanjames, what do you make of this? >> e- this? >> think people don't >> well, i think people don't have children. if you look at japan quite often because they don't a future for don't see a future for themselves. that's why the birth rate is so low there. it's going down very precipitously. >> the world's lowest, i believe. >> yeah. i think korea is now

exceeding really? do exceeding it. really? and how do you don't see you mean they don't see a future? well, they look at the world them they world around them and they think, well, you know, am i going to job in my kid's going to have a job in my kid's going to have a job in my kid's going job? this going to have a job? is this much world to grow up in? going to have a job? is this mucknow world to grow up in? going to have a job? is this mucknow ,world to grow up in? going to have a job? is this mucknow , andd to grow up in? going to have a job? is this mucknow , and all grow up in? going to have a job? is this mucknow , and all of'ow up in? going to have a job? is this mucknow , and all of these in? you know, and all of these things and i think the other things and i think the other thing to remember there's thing to remember is there's this dreadful green movement called birthstrike, which maintains that every child you have will worsen climate change. and that is a background kind of malthusian feeling that we have that you're only adding to the problems if you have a child . problems if you have a child. >> i love your academic approach, but almost every woman i know, if they haven't had children and want them, it's other reasons . it's other reasons. it's circumstantial. haven't met circumstantial. they haven't met the . they can't. the right person. they can't. they're whatever they're infertile. whatever it is , don't think. and i talk to is, i don't think. and i talk to so many women about this and men. i don't think that it's really usually to do with, you know, bigger these fundamental issues about the future of the planet or anything . i mean, it's planet or anything. i mean, it's just it's a fascinating topic and scholarly, not academic. it's a very personal choice . it's a very personal choice. >> it's a fascinating topic. and

emma, for coming to emma, thank you for coming to into for the man. james, into bats for the man. james, shall we on? something shall we move on? something completely very, completely different, but very, very as well. this very interesting as well. this is the effect of deep is the effect of banning deep diesel lorries apparently in is the effect of banning deep diesel and es apparently in is the effect of banning deep diesel and guess arently in is the effect of banning deep diesel and guess what? in is the effect of banning deep diesel and guess what? the 2040. and guess what? the hauliers are warning it could destroy their industry . destroy their industry. >> well, this is a bit of a sort of storm in a cliche, really . i of storm in a cliche, really. i mean, the first thing to realise is that 2040 is a hell of a long way off, right? it's 17 years off and right now scania in an hgv hgvs has an electric truck or electric lorry. but there are very few of them about tesla announced run we haven't heard a lot of about it so to worry too much about electrification 17 years away you know that we won't be able to make it is i think you know crying wolf a little bit too early. >> 17 years is a blink of an eye andifs >> 17 years is a blink of an eye and it's going to take a big battery to haul to haul tonnes and tonnes, right? >> well, progress is >> well, the progress is alarmingly in area, alarmingly slow in this area, right? if anything needs right? i mean, if anything needs electrification , it's lorries

electrification, it's lorries because they are very polluting. they do gum up cities with their fumes and it would be a great step forward if we had the charging points and the lorry technology to introduce this way before 2040. no, exactly . and before 2040. no, exactly. and there's a lot of r&d research and development that needs to be done. and development that needs to be done . so let's not be alarmist done. so let's not be alarmist about it. i think what it does demonstrate is how easily the government can declare a target. 2040, n0 government can declare a target. 2040, no more diesel trucks . you 2040, no more diesel trucks. you know, great. anybody can say those six words. whether it will happenis those six words. whether it will happen is an entirely different matter . m atter. >> matter. >> well, all should it happen? i mean , how about being kind to mean, how about being kind to the haulage industry and giving them a reprieve? i mean, that would be more popular, surely. who scrap their entire who wants to scrap their entire fleet trucks and electric fleet of trucks and go electric and that costs will get passed on to the consumer, well on to the consumer, surely? well something on to the consumer, surely? well somethi i'm not you know, i'm >> and i'm not you know, and i'm not of boring tree not a sort of boring tree huggen not a sort of boring tree hugger, needs to hugger, but something needs to happen. you cycle through central the stuff central london and the stuff thatis central london and the stuff that is coming out of some of these even know these trucks, i don't even know what central what they're doing in central london you know,

mean, i was saying mean, i think this i was saying it wasn't an outbreak , was it? it wasn't an outbreak, was it? was was there already ? it was was it was there already? it was there i mean, you would there already. i mean, you would have had have thought that perhaps it had been bacterial been checked for bacterial problems in the first place. i mean , i did say this to robert mean, i did say this to robert jenrick last week. i think our audience is largely behind what the is doing . but the the government is doing. but the execution is repeatedly annoying. and now we see a blame game carried out in the newspapers . we've got iain newspapers. we've got iain duncan smith, i believe , blaming duncan smith, i believe, blaming the we've got marco the french. we've got marco longhi blaming labour, we've got labour blaming tories, the tories . it's, it's a complete tories. it's, it's a complete mess. labour's lack of a solution beyond what the government's already suggested is, i think, problematic for starmer. i think stephen kinnock is in one hand talked to the mirror today about what they would do, which seems to be suggesting some degree of closer alignment with the eu and other matters . but it doesn't really matters. but it doesn't really solve crisis . and indeed he matters. but it doesn't really solvthe crisis . and indeed he matters. but it doesn't really solvthe person . and indeed he matters. but it doesn't really solvthe person whoj indeed he matters. but it doesn't really solv the person who lastleed he matters. but it doesn't really solv the person who last weeke was the person who last week said they would keep the said that they would keep the migrant because they said that they would keep the migrantto because they said that they would keep the migrantto work because they said that they would keep the migrantto work with jse they said that they would keep the migrantto work with the they needed to work with the infrastructure that they have.

needed to work with the inf i'llructure that they have. needed to work with the inf i'll be :ure that they have. needed to work with the inf i'll be putting: they have. needed to work with the inf i'll be putting those have. needed to work with the inf i'll be putting those sorts so i'll be putting those sorts of to shaun woodward. of questions to shaun woodward. he's representative of questions to shaun woodward. he the representative of questions to shaun woodward. he the show. representative of questions to shaun woodward. he the show. he representative of questions to shaun woodward. he the show. he wasesentative of questions to shaun woodward. he the show. he was also ative of questions to shaun woodward. he the show. he was also thee on the show. he was also the former northern ireland secretary, so i'm going to speak to that police data to him about that police data breach. gosh. also going breach. oh gosh. i'm also going to be discussing immigration in general with alexander downer because he is the former high commissioner from commissioner to the uk from australia. when was australia. but when he was australian foreign minister he very behind tony very much was behind tony abbott's quest to stop the boats landing in australia by having people processed nauru . so people processed in nauru. so let's find out from him. he also wrote this formative paper for the government on how they should stop the boats. i'm going to ask him, well, what they to ask him, well, what have they done this dossier ? they done with this dossier? they seem all the seem to have taken all of the recommendations completely recommendations, but completely cocked up . so yeah, cocked most of them up. so yeah, we'll try and answers from him. >> you say, there e you say, there >> as you say, there is this blame game. it just seems to me we're at an impasse and i wonder if we can ever stop this because the bibby stockholm is the only boat that's ever been stopped . boat that's ever been stopped. yes. and it rolls on and rolls on. spoke to the shadow on. we spoke to the shadow education minister earlier and part the detail alluded to by

part of the detail alluded to by stephen kinnock in the mirror today is ensure genuine refugees can contribute to britain, which i put to her. would that mean we work visas for those who are processed and she said yes, that is something that we then wouldn't incentivise more wouldn't that incentivise more people to come and game people to come across and game the i people to come across and game thei mean, are also seemingly >> i mean, are we also seemingly have this problem, particularly from the way that the home office seems to categorise the people coming over ? we have this people coming over? we have this problem distinguishing between general asylum seekers general genuine asylum seekers and economic migrants. general genuine asylum seekers and economic migrants . and we and economic migrants. and we had a case, actually, funnily enough, our rival, the bbc, not pointing out that it was interviewing refugee interviewing a so—called refugee who actually said in the interview , you know, i've come interview, you know, i've come here for a better yes here for a better life. yes that's same as escaping that's not the same as escaping persecution. why is there this dishonesty it? dishonesty about it? and therefore, everybody that says, well, hang on a minute, you know , refugees are refugees, but economic are something economic migrants are something quite . they get quite different. they get labelled the sort labelled with the sort of bigoted you want bigoted racist. you don't want anyone to come into this country brush. saying no, brush. they're saying no, i don't degree of don't mind having a degree of immigration, but can we just

and people are now flocking back to the travel companies and looking deals. actually, to the travel companies and lookgot deals. actually, to the travel companies and lookgot some als. actually, to the travel companies and lookgot some it's actually, to the travel companies and lookgot some it's notjally, to the travel companies and lookgot some it's not ally, to the travel companies and lookgot some it's not all bad i've got some it's not all bad news. so whilst things were expensive, especially if you're booking early in the year, there are still some brilliant deals booking early in the year, there ar> and for the benefit of the radio listeners who can't see the images on screen , there the images on the screen, there

are some textbook british men abroad with their shirts off bottle, white skin bombing into the sea . and i think they've the sea. and i think they've been at the old cerveza is one of the things that that strikes me, though, about the holiday business. i'm about to go business. nikki i'm about to go to i'm bracing myself to wales and i'm bracing myself for that to very, very for that to be very, very expensive very, very busy. for that to be very, very exjactually very, very busy. for that to be very, very exjactually , very, very busy. for that to be very, very exjactually , i've ry, very busy. for that to be very, very exjactually , i've got 'ery busy. for that to be very, very exjactually , i've got ay busy. for that to be very, very exjactually , i've got a palrsy. for that to be very, very exjactually , i've got a pal my, so actually, i've got a pal my, my, my barber , sean, he's going my, my barber, sean, he's going to turkey . and it's cheaper to turkey. and it's cheaper because people are going for all inclusive deals where prices are guaranteed or people going for that deal. year. that sort of deal. this year. >> absolutely . i think with the >> absolutely. i think with the cost of living crisis, people are give up are not willing to give up a houday are not willing to give up a holiday still to get holiday. they still want to get away. want to enjoy away. they still want to enjoy that two weeks in the that week or two weeks in the sun. but wanting to sun. but they're wanting to really their costs when really cap their costs when they're these all they're away. so these all inclusive deals places like inclusive deals to places like turkey , in fact, heathrow saying turkey, in fact, heathrow saying that 73,000 departures they had to turkey in july, which was the most they've ever had out of heathrow. so people are really flocking to destinations like that. the numbers prove it. and by having an all inclusive holiday, especially holiday, you go away, especially if family. you know

if you're a family. you know what is going what the cost is going to be before lots holiday before you go. lots of holiday companies actually to companies actually allow you to pay companies actually allow you to pay installed agents, and so pay in installed agents, and so you it off the course you pay it off over the course of a few months. and once you get there, really relax get there, you can really relax without worry without having to worry about all those extra excursions or activities that activities or food or drink that that if you go on a non all inclusive package, you're going to worry about . to have to worry about. >> it's funny, isn't it? we've been fact that been talking about the fact that we put up with this we just can't put up with this horrible britain much horrible weather in britain much longer and it's giving us all an appetite but but appetite to get away. but but you know, conversely, there have been reports of extreme heat. for instance, in spain and those terrible fires in rhodes . have terrible fires in rhodes. have they put people off those particular destinations ? particular destinations? >> so i think greece in particular, there was there's beenit particular, there was there's been it was really devastating what happened there . of course, what happened there. of course, what happened there. of course, what we've just seen happen in hawaii is even more devastating . and so these kind of natural disasters can occur anywhere in the world, but it hasn't really dampened the spirits of brits who want to away . who really do want to get away. and i think become used to and i think we've become used to braving that july august heat braving that july or august heat when you're in places like spain

or or greece turkey, or italy or greece or turkey, it's the norm and people it's become the norm and people are willing live through that are willing to live through that and enjoy it and enjoy the sun, especially they're by a especially if they're by a pool sipping a cocktail sipping on a cocktail and enjoying and it's enjoying themselves and it's just the rain. we really want just the rain. we really we want to away the rain and to get away from the rain and the i'm looking outside to get away from the rain and the window i'm looking outside to get away from the rain and the window againoking outside to get away from the rain and the window again now outside to get away from the rain and the window again now and side my window again now and i understand why people, people's mindsets might still be saying, do you know what? notwithstanding the heat waves, we're going to still go. we want to be away. >> and wonder, nikki , after >> and i wonder, nikki, after lockdowns losing the lockdowns and people losing the ability to travel, if now it's like hang expense, do you like hang the expense, do you know holidays are so know what holidays are just so important quickly . important to me. very quickly. >> seen that for >> yeah. we've seen that for sure. once lockdown restrictions were lifted, i think there was a penod were lifted, i think there was a period coming out of covid where people were a little bit more nervous and nervous about travelling and getting . i mean, that nervous about travelling and gegone. . i mean, that nervous about travelling and gegone. you . i mean, that nervous about travelling and gegone. you don't. i mean, that nervous about travelling and gegone. you don't see1ean, that nervous about travelling and ge gone. you don't see that. that nervous about travelling and gegone. you don't see that. you is gone. you don't see that. you don't whatsoever don't see that whatsoever anymore and people anymore. and people people really out there. i really want to get out there. i think saw a spate of people think we saw a spate of people booking bigger trips they booking bigger trips if they were dream trips were able to those dream trips that always wanted do, that they always wanted to do, that they always wanted to do, that be the i'm afraid that could be the i'm afraid you've us we're out of you've convinced us we're out of time. >> do stay tuned because camilla
