behind all this. what? seriously are they going to do ? what can are they going to do? what can they do? >> well, in terms of the cyber attacks from china, it's first of all about raising public awareness about this, because we need to make our public need to make sure our public bodies etc, are bodies like the nhs, etc, are well to speed in order to try well up to speed in order to try and deter these kind of attacks in future. second of all, in future. and second of all, it's about sanctions and recriminations those recriminations for those who are inflicting this and therefore oliver prime oliver dowden, the deputy prime minister, later minister, is expected later today sanctions on today to announce sanctions on those in human rights those involved in human rights atrocities like the atrocities in places like the ukraine. >> well, sort of form do >> well, what sort of form do you think those sanctions will take? >> well, it may be about freezing assets. be about freezing assets. it may be about detaining rights. if they come here, may even just here, it may be about even just calling lots calling them out publicly. lots of in those of different ways in which those sanctions apply, all sanctions can apply, all different ways. we've seen different ways. and we've seen in recently, in 2022, in russia recently, in 2022, lots those people are lots of those people are connected the connected to the putin government, had those government, have had those sanctions applied. government, have had those sanctiorsee, plied. government, have had those sanctiorsee, ilied. government, have had those sanctiorsee, i don't understand. >> you see, i don't understand. i mean, talk about i mean, you talk about sanctions, james, but we will have with public have contracts with public bodies, multi—million have contracts with public bodiescontracts. multi—million have contracts with public bodies contracts. it'sulti—million have contracts with public bodies contracts. it's there'sllion have contracts with public bodies contracts. it's there's no n pound contracts. it's there's no chance of a stopping. those are cancelling those because where else to yet that

else do we turn to yet that seems be the only way. if you seems to be the only way. if you don't want china snooping on, you have running you don't have them running their businesses. >> well, that's part. and >> well, that's a huge part. and that's the china hawks will that's what the china hawks will be saying. people who've be saying. the people who've been parliament been sanctioned in parliament are be making that are going to be making that case. i'm sure, publicly and privately, you privately, which is that you need to have conscious uncoupling you need uncoupling from china. you need to that you're not to make sure that you're not actually economically reliant on their different their industries in different forms, sanctions is forms, and that sanctions is only but actually, only one thing. but actually, are going to have the kind of are we going to have the kind of proper in which to actually proper way in which to actually guard investment proper way in which to actually gua|overreach investment proper way in which to actually gua|overreach iareasnent proper way in which to actually gua|overreach iareas and: and overreach in these areas and have national security and all these election year these things on an election year as well? >> all times, needing to be >> of all times, needing to be hyper vigilant in a more sort of traditional form, though, we're going hearing news of going to be hearing news of trying strengthen our trying to strengthen our defences nuclear defences in terms of the nuclear deterrent of deterrent today and kind of desperately it, desperately needed isn't it, after huge flop in after that huge flop in the atlantic month when atlantic last month when actually the defence secretary was when the trident was on board when the trident missile went straight into missile just went straight into the they're going to the sea, but they're going to try bolster it, which are try and bolster it, which are good. reassuring. good. yeah. reassuring. >> this is about >> absolutely. so this is about £200 million investment going to be announced in barrow in furness up in the north of

england. and this is really about trying to do several things one about ensuring things. one is about ensuring the the nuclear the future of the nuclear deterrent, you say, isabel. deterrent, as you say, isabel. but also about nuclear as but also about nuclear energy as well. ties in with the well. and it ties in with the government's messaging on things like big deal, like aukus. with that big deal, we australia and the we signed with australia and the us this is about us as well. this is about ensuring you have the ensuring that you have the investment kind of keep the investment to kind of keep the nuclear technology for the nuclear technology going for the next and also it next ten years, and also it helps with government helps with the government and their as helps with the government and their again, as helps with the government and their again, not as helps with the government and their again, not sure as helps with the government and their again, not sure i as helps with the government and their again, not sure i believe well, again, not sure i believe much of this. the nuclear much of all of this. the nuclear stuff has been announced before. i've heard we're now i've heard it and, we're now rubber stamping it today, the energy in, this is energy situation in, this is part of the green project , energy situation in, this is part of the green project, but this is really it's nothing about security . about security. >> well, this is the thing. it's sort of a bit belated, isn't it, to come into the energy security focus. we've really had a bit soonen focus. we've really had a bit sooner, because too much of our energy right now is dependent on foreign imports. obviously foreign imports. and obviously we'd much place to we'd be much better place to actually sanctions on actually put sanctions on another putin, etc, if another regime on putin, etc, if we'd actually had more of we'd actually had much more of an security. it's an energy security. so it's partly reaction to the partly a belated reaction to the green say.

green agenda, as you say. >> i'm literally reading a quote from labour today are going from labour today who are going to back control of our to say, take back control of our national energy security. i mean, are they effectively saying but saying the same things but tackling different tackling it in different ways? i mean, wants to get mean, starmer wants to get putin's boot our throat. absolutely. >> and so labour want say >> and so labour want to say this is about patriotism. this is making sure that green is about making sure that green energy plans are seen as something appeal. it's something that has appeal. it's not a sort of green not just a sort of niche green environmental issue. this is about everyone can about ensuring that everyone can benefit and ensure benefit from that and ensure you're not dependent on foreign regimes, don't regimes, except we just don't have the infrastructure for it. >> have, i mean, this >> we don't have, i mean, this idea that, that you've got wind farms the for farms off the coast, for instance, you get to the instance, you get this to the mainland then the existing mainland and then the existing way of transporting that electricity not work in electricity will not work in this case. so it's the same for the nuclear plants and whatever we need a massive billions and billions of pounds ploughed to in our electricity network system, which we don't have. so yet again, i mean, i sit here today and i think i've heard all of this before. it's all lies.

or there are certain truths that that they're omitting here. >> well, i think also one big question for both politicians of all parties is not about so much spending, but about planning and investment in terms of things like new nuclear power stations, for instance. haven't for instance. why haven't we built for decades? built any of those for decades? unlike, say, for instance, the french have gone ahead with french who have gone ahead with that? think it does about that? so i think it does about sort of priorities as well. and it's thing for people to it's one thing for people to say, stand there at say, you know, to stand there at the and make the podium and make the speeches, but key thing speeches, etc. but the key thing is actually going to build some stuff. why haven't we? >> and why haven't we? >> and why haven't we? >> well, we have a very specific system of planning in the uk, which encourages local which actually encourages local opposition and deters national investment. and for those reasons, historically and locally, we've locally, it's something we've struggled know, struggled with. but, you know, funnily think funnily enough, if you think about hinkley and other about hinkley c and other nuclear stations, there is nuclear power stations, there is a foreign investment in a lot of foreign investment in those and not excluding those and not even excluding china you look into the detail. >> so it ties back to the story that we with at the that we started with at the beginning. do we invest beginning. how do we invest in this of infrastructure with this kind of infrastructure with our resources? exactly. our own resources? exactly. >> been too much short >> and it's been too much short time thinking we allowed in any kind like china kind of places like china

general was a big general nuclear, which was a big part actually not part of it, and actually not being to ensure we being careful to ensure that we have uk ownership of those things. >> james heale thank you very much. we'll seeing you again much. we'll be seeing you again a bit later on in the a little bit later on in the program. yeah. james. >> what we want to do is >> because what we want to do is throw to our viewers throw this out to our viewers and to what they and listeners to see what they think this, we'll think about this, and then we'll get reaction what get your reaction to what they're on. so gb they're saying, later on. so gb views the gb news. com how would you protect our energy you run or protect our energy system within the country? we, what do you do about foreign investment plants? investment in our energy plants? and the type of and what about the type of energy we're using, how we're going to tap into it? and does the system exist to press a button and everything will be okay?i button and everything will be okay? i put it to you. it doesn't , it i put it to you that doesn't, it i put it to you that we're being spun. more lies today as well. so gb views is gb news. com and incidentally, this is the government who in coalition with the lib dems, turned down the building of nuclear power stations. and now it's all as if. here's the answer . it's all as if. here's the answer. nuclear power stations. well, if they had have started building them ten, 12,14

well, if they had have started building them ten, 12, 14 years ago, maybe . but we had the ago, maybe. but we had the chance and through the lib dems, we said no to all of that. >> it's not just the mps and security and energy that the russians and the chinese are allegedly interfering with. according to reports out today, the royal family have also been victim to this. china and iran are fuelling online conspiracy theories and disinformation about the princess of wales, according to a report today on the front of the daily telegraph >> well, this comes as senior royals rallied to support the king and the princess of wales, who are undergoing their cancer treatment. let's now go to royal commentator richard fitzwilliam on all of this. richard good morning. very nice to see you, my friend, the stories that we're seeing in the front of the papers today, front page of the telegraph, as isabel says, china and russia behind slurs on princess. does it surprise you ? princess. does it surprise you? >> no, it doesn't, because i think the trolling online was so

vicious. so vituperative, so thoroughly nasty that it was always going to continue. and i mean, you've not only got, certain groups who have a vested interest in attacking the princess of wales and indeed it's been it's been ghastly in recent weeks. i mean , one has to recent weeks. i mean, one has to bearin recent weeks. i mean, one has to bear in mind, of course, that, not only that, but also the fact that from the new york times downward, this became a worldwide story. you had this ghastly business of , for ghastly business of, for example, so—called sightings. and when they occurred and of course, the reports, the london clinic, that there were attempts to access her medical records. i mean, this takes it a stage further and shows it to be organised by or possibly organised by or possibly organised by, hostile powers . organised by, hostile powers. >> so the idea that, you know,

spreading slurs about the royal family could be seen to destabilise society. i mean, they're not in power . they don't they're not in power. they don't have control over our finances or anything like that . but there or anything like that. but there is such strong affection, they think, in this country that it could destabilise us. what do you make of that ? you make of that? >> well, i think it's clear what, they, they find somewhat threatening . and if you look at threatening. and if you look at our primary source of soft power, a royal trip abroad , the power, a royal trip abroad, the royal family and the fact that they have a unique profile , i they have a unique profile, i mean, it's the highest of any royal family and indeed our our royal family and indeed our our royal family, probably has a higher profile bar, possibly those in the white house, and of course, those they change. so i think it's in the interest of a hostile state. if they could possibly spread or continue to spread misinformation that they, they would do so. and it does

seem that there may well be something on in this area that , something on in this area that, well, let's hear what what they've discovered, because clearly it is if you've got a particular family and you've got this international interest, if you could, these slurs, if they continue, i mean , very clearly, continue, i mean, very clearly, it is in the interest of britain's enemies. >> agree with you, richard. i mean, think about it all. the pictures we're looking at there of easter, of christmas , you of easter, of christmas, you know, and the, the royal family turn up, they do their duties, everything that's supposed to happen. and then if it's put into our mind, it won't always be like this. i remember reading, i read quite a lot last week about kate being the hope for the royal family i think the only hope, no, she's not, but she's a massive part of it. definitely. but i agree with everything richard is saying their viewers and listeners .

their viewers and listeners. >> and i think that's why i often say on this program, i like royal stories because they tend to have a positive slant. they lift spirit and they do they lift the spirit and they do things that are good and absolutely they are reassuring. so i agree with both of you. i have to say, i wonder what our audience at home says. i suspect they'll agree with us on that as well. we just get your well. can we just get your thoughts, because neither eamonn nor have since this nor i have been in since this devastating revelation on friday night the princess night about the princess of wales her health, what was wales and her health, what was your reaction? i mean, i still feel really sad every time i see pictures of her. i genuinely feel sad and really worried, and i and i really look forward to heafing i and i really look forward to hearing that she's got rid of it and doing well. how do you she hasn't got cancer. >> she hasn't got >> oh, but she hasn't got cancen >> oh, but she hasn't got cancer, right? right. she's been treated they they found treated that they they found something taken away. something which was taken away. that was all taken away. so it's not in her body. she's having preventative treatment in case that was to reoccur. but she hasn't got cancer. >> but nonetheless, i found it

tremendously difficult to watch. i mean, millions have been affected by this malign disease, my own family included, and i it was so moving. i would say that it's perhaps the most courageous statement , a video message of statement, a video message of the sort. when she was so clearly vulnerable that's ever been put out by a public figure in britain. it was very moving. the message also that she got across was that other cancer sufferers could go, so to speak, on a journey with her and a plea for time and space. echoes of diana's 1993 speech, but also privacy , which has been so privacy, which has been so important. and one looks at recent weeks and, well, months , recent weeks and, well, months, and where there's been so much speculation , it's been a speculation, it's been a positive tsunami. it must have been death . separately

been death. separately stressful. she talked of tough times. no one could possibly have had a tougher time. when you have a major operation and you have a major operation and you recover and then you have to go through preventative chemotherapy for cancer, it's absolutely awesome that she was able to do that. and i say a certain vulnerability there that was so poignant. >> richard, thank you very much indeed for your views and your opinions. it will have got people talking today. i think not only has she come through all of that, but she then had to explain to her children and as best as she could , what was best as she could, what was happening and what the situation was , and it i think that journey was, and it i think that journey that so many people suffer, this awful, hideous disease and that she's saying, look, i'm on part of this journey with you. i think that gets a lot of support from people, and they maybe no longer feel that they are on their own, that there is someone else who understands what

they're doing. >> lots of children will look to louis, charlotte and george and think that they know what they're going through and i also want to you know, my heart want to say, you know, my heart goes to prince william goes out to prince william because all the trauma because we all know the trauma that went through losing his that he went through losing his mum . got weight of the mum. he's got the weight of the world his shoulders becoming world on his shoulders becoming king. lost grandmother king. he's lost his grandmother not ago now. his not so long ago now. his father's and the father's got cancer and now the love life, mother of his love of his life, mother of his children, also seriously unwell, must very difficult for must be very, very difficult for him . and as you say, all of him. and as you say, all of those people going on a journey with the princess of wales. but i'm sure there are lots of people holding their families together that together with all of that responsibility, feeling very stressed send in stressed as well. so send in your thoughts about that gb views and you are going views and if you are going through thoughts through it, our thoughts are with know someone. >> we all sit and say, have you been affected by this awful disease ? as and we all have disease? as and we all have somebody a mother, a wife, a sister, a daughter , whatever, an sister, a daughter, whatever, an auntie, whatever, who's gone through this and we'll all have a story to tell about it. so the

time 6:15, let's have a look at some other stories that you're waking up to on this monday morning. we begin in moscow. three suspects in friday's deadly concert hall shooting have been imprisoned for two months awaiting trial . months awaiting trial. >> a total of 11 people were detained following the terror attack. russia has made the claims that they were attempting to escape across the border into ukraine. us intelligence services believe the attack was carried out by a branch of the islamic state terror group known as isis—k . as isis—k. >> meanwhile, russia's black sea fleet is now, we're told, functionally inactive , this is functionally inactive, this is according to our defence secretary, grant shapps , you're secretary, grant shapps, you're seeing there a massive ukrainian missile strike in sevastopol . missile strike in sevastopol. security sources have told gb news that uk supplied storm isha missiles were used in the strike. a major military communication centre is also being damaged. this is the largest attack on the russian controlled port so far , as controlled port so far, as tensions in the region continue to escalate .

to escalate. >> listen to this. a fantastic story now, despite the cost of living crisis, the british pubuc living crisis, the british public have donated a record £13.9 billion to charity in the last year. that's a 9% increase on the 2022 figure of 12.7 billion. average monthly donations increased by nearly 40% to reach £65, the charities aid foundation revealed that it's the country's least affluent areas that are among the most generous. as a proportion of household income . proportion of household income. it is something to make you proud this morning. absolutely something that the british do incredibly well and that moves me to hear that. and i think it's, you know, anybody who's finding the cash to give to somebody else when they're struggling themselves . yeah. struggling themselves. yeah. >> people who understand >> i think people who understand what like and then they what it's like and then they think, well, look, we're getting we're getting we're getting we're getting by, we're getting through. wouldn't want anyone we're getting by, we're getting throtinl. wouldn't want anyone we're getting by, we're getting throtin this wouldn't want anyone we're getting by, we're getting

throtin this situation. want anyone else in this situation. commendable absolutely brilliant. incidentally, brilliant. and incidentally, we're be talking about, we're going to be talking about, my producer said to me today, we're talking about lollipop ladies . just we're talking about lollipop ladies. just to we're talking about lollipop ladies . just to know when ladies. i just want to know when lollipop men became lollipop ladies and why they're not lollipop people . and are there lollipop people. and are there no men that do it anymore? and we're going to be talking about that. but also, i just want to point out, the russian story about the concert hall , the about the concert hall, the concert hall and what went on there on friday. and, i have watched a performance in that very hall. i've been there, i've been behind the scenes. i've been behind the scenes. i've been throughout the whole shopping mall, and the thing about visiting the shopping mall there is that you look and you say nowhere else did i see russian people who just want to be westernised. all this talk about as if russia is a different planet, all these people wanted to do was to buy a jag car or something from one of the zara boutiques or whatever it is they just wanted. all those shops and the facilities

available to them, and i have to look to china now, china and iran and then you look at what what happened there. and it's the most westernised, modern, lovely. it'sjust the most westernised, modern, lovely. it's just a night out that you would appreciate. there were families there with children as well, and well over 130 of them shot dead, murdered. absolutely no support from the state either. >> if anything like that happenedin >> if anything like that happened in london, you know that you would have armed response within minutes to an hour before anybody got there. is putin keeping his people safe, big questions about where this leaves putin. just six days, wasn't it? five days after his re—election with an 89% majority, fascinating situation for him, but tragic in russia. no lollipop lady. >> lollipop ladies. right. lollipop people are their little sort of like, do you get little models of them like lego people like the lollipop people. but anyway , they do a great job.

anyway, they do a great job. they do an essential job. but you've got hampshire county council is getting rid of 21 of them. right. and they're getting rid of and i believe there are men and women doing this job. but anyway, looking to but anyway, they're looking to save money. and the money, honestly that they're looking to save pittance. pittance. save is like pittance. pittance. it's £1 million. right. so they say, right. what can we get rid of lollipop people now , my of lollipop people now, my thinking about this is that surely if they are to get rid of something, that's fine . but something, that's fine. but volunteers. now, if somebody came to your school and said to you, could you give me half an hour after school to be a lollipop person, you'd probably do it, wouldn't you? >> maybe . no. well it depends. >> maybe. no. well it depends. yeah. if i had time , but, you yeah. if i had time, but, you know, volunteers is the solution, but it certainly isn't good enough to leave the kids to cross the road on their own. no, ihope cross the road on their own. no, i hope that's not what they're suggesting, but, but but what's the alternative? >> have to >> yeah. i mean, you have to have volunteers. cannot just have volunteers. you cannot just scrap and say, we'll scrap the system and say, we'll leave them to across that leave them to dart across that road their own, though i have

road on their own, though i have to say, i never at any school that i went to had a lollipop person outside front door . person outside the front door. >> but more traffic today isn't there? yeah, absolutely . there? yeah, absolutely. >> so the council says there aren't enough pedestrian and vehicle movements to warrant the cost patrols. it only cost of some patrols. it only takes one to go wrong, remember? and so you would have to work at drop off and pick up times as well. however parents say that the cost cutting measures could endanger lives of their children. >> well, our south west of england jeff moody has england reporter jeff moody has the report . the full report. >> sharon woodford has been guiding children across this street in holbury in hampshire for 32 years. >> she's phenomenal. she's phenomenal. she knows every single child by their name , so single child by their name, so it doesn't matter how old they are, it doesn't matter how old they are or anything. yeah, she's been amazing. >> i don't know how i remember their names, but i do. you must really care. yes, i do, and it'd be a shame to see it go. but what do you do? you know, sharon

has been told she may be losing herjob. her job. >> as the council says the road's not busy enough to warrant her salary. and she's not alone. 21 lollipop men and women in hampshire are facing the chop in cost cutting measures that may mean the end of school crossing patrols altogether . parents are of school crossing patrols altogether. parents are angry, i think it's ridiculous , she's think it's ridiculous, she's here every day, twice a day, getting us across this road safely. it's the main road to going through this area. a lot of the kids that go to that school, they walk on their own from that direction, so they're school, they walk on their own fro their|t direction, so they're school, they walk on their own fro their|t diresom, so they're school, they walk on their own fro their|t dire so )njust they're school, they walk on their own fro their|t diresomjust thinke on their own. so i just think with all the money flying around in the world at the moment, at least could is afford to least they could do is afford to fund this wonderful person getting road and like getting across the road and like many councils, hampshire county council it's running out of cash. >> they say they have a hole in their budget to the tune of £132 million. after coming for 21 lollipop men and women. the remaining 163 school crossing patrols could be removed as

well. in a statement, hampshire county council said whilst we have a legal duty to promote road safety and take measures to prevent accidents , there is no prevent accidents, there is no specific legal requirement for us to provide school crossing patrols, of which there are currently 184. in hampshire . we currently 184. in hampshire. we know that local communities value their school crossing patrol officers, and this is not a reflection on individuals undertaking that role, but there may be effective alternatives for some sites, such as installing permanent safety measures or improvements to make a crossing point safer. but locals say these cuts put their children's lives at risk. >> i think it's stupid because this road can be very fast , very this road can be very fast, very fast and like a lot load of the kids just come flying across and she's there. she she's like the safety hub of the road. >> hampshire county council says 13 services are facing cuts from

household waste recycling centres to bus services. parents in holbury have got together a petition to try and save sharon woodford's job. the council says it hasn't made any firm decisions yet and will only remove the service if a crossing can be made safe . lollipop men can be made safe. lollipop men and women have been a mainstay outside our schools for seven decades. for many, they're as british as fish and chips. but if councils can't balance their books, these stalwarts at our school gates may become a thing of the past. jeff moody, gb news says. >> so it's all about council's balancing their books. your suggestions very welcome. how would they should they balance those particular books, but i just don't think i think, do you know how much a lollipop person is paid? £5,271 a year. that is full time. that works out at

>> welcome back. we're joined by the minister for energy security in net zero. it is andrew bowie. good morning to you. thanks for joining us on gb news. you want to tell us this morning about plans to invest in trident and tell us a little bit about how much government money is being invested in this ? invested in this? >> yeah. so we're announcing today that alongside industry, we're committing £750 million to bolster the nuclear workforce here in the united kingdom. we've got so many exciting projects coming down the track between civil, nuclear and defence nuclear. we need to ensure that we have the skilled workforce here in the united kingdom to able to deliver kingdom to be able to deliver that. our plans today will that. so our plans today will enable to increase the enable to us increase the workforce these workforce delivering these nuclear that the nuclear projects, be that the new dreadnought submarine programme, submarine programme, or aukus submarine programme, or aukus submarine programme , or our civil programme, or our huge civil nuclear build to about 40,000 by 2030, it's a combination of industry and government money that's being invested here, but it's a it's an incredibly important day. later on today,

we'll also see a defence command paper on nuclear being published by the secretary of state for defence, really underlining and outlining how important our nuclear deterrent , outlining how important our nuclear deterrent, our continuous at sea deterrent that's been providing security for the united kingdom for over 55 years is the uk and indeed 55 years is to the uk and indeed to our allies security. so it's an incredibly important day for nuclear. >> i wonder what prompted grant shapps to make this decision so late on? i suppose in a 14 year time for the conservatives, is it anything to do with the embarrassing missile flop in the atlantic around a month ago? he was on board, wasn't he? where the trident missile failed to launch lots of people saying, is it fit for purpose? indeed, labour's shadow defence secretary saying reports of the trident test failure are deeply concerning . concerning. >> there was no actual test failure. we've got full confidence in the royal navy and our submarines and indeed our systems for defending the united kingdom. this announcement has been made because over the past few months we've seen a series

of announcements, regarding civil nuclear capacity being increased. our aukus submarine programme, our dreadnought submarine programme. and it was recognised that we needed to build up the skilled workforce here in the uk to deliver that. so that's what today's announcement is about as well as bringing it all together in a command paper to sort of outline , how , our confidence and how important , , our confidence and how important, our continuous deterrent actually is to the uk , deterrent actually is to the uk, what about the allegations? i suppose you could call them that. people are saying, actually, this is just trying to focus on green energy, clean energy without calling it that, by saying it's all about, you know, sure that there are know, making sure that there are jobs north. it's about jobs in the north. it's about levelling up or indeed, it's about , energy in the about, energy security in the face international threats . face of international threats. but is this effectively a green pledge that you're announcing today? but you just don't think that will be very palatable to the electorate? >> no. look, i mean, >> well, no. look, i mean, obviously the nuclear is clean technology. it is clean energy .

technology. it is clean energy. there is no net zero without nuclear. that's been recognised across the world. but one of the huge benefits of all of this investment and new technology is including nuclear, is that we're investment and new technology is includto; nuclear, is that we're investment and new technology is includto be rclear, is that we're investment and new technology is includto be creating that we're investment and new technology is includto be creating hundreds; investment and new technology is includto be creating hundreds of going to be creating hundreds of thousands of new high wage, high skilled jobs. the length and breadth country, many in breadth of the country, many in places wage are places where high wage jobs are actually premium . and actually at a premium. and that's i'm so excited about that's why i'm so excited about the investment are the investment that we are making today sizewell c in making today in sizewell c in hinkley point c, and a third gigawatt scale project coming down the line after that, and our small modular reactor programme, this is going to create a whole new, of create a whole new, range of energy technologies create a whole new, range of energytechnologies support energy technologies to support our become more our transition to become more energy and independent. energy secure and independent. but yes, it is about creating new jobs in parts of the country where where they are desperately needed. >> investing enough in >> are we investing enough in cyber security? take a look at the pages this morning. the front pages this morning. china attack on uk. is china hack attack on uk. this is in relation voters in 2022. in relation to voters in 2022. this all came to light in front of the telegraph talking about china, russia and iran being behind the slurs on the princess of wales. perhaps we need to be investing more in protecting our

democracy these of democracy against these kind of hostile states . hostile states. >> well, i mean, i think we've demonstrated over the past few years through the various acts of parliament that we have used to bolster the powers of our intelligence and security forces, that we take the defence of democracy and the defence of the british people, incredibly importantly, and we won't stop at anything to ensure that democracy and freedom of speech and the british people democracy and freedom of speech andprotected|e british people democracy and freedom of speech andprotected and itish people democracy and freedom of speech andprotected and i'm people democracy and freedom of speech andprotected and i'm sure ple democracy and freedom of speech andprotected and i'm sure we'll are protected and i'm sure we'll be seeing more on that later on today, we take it incredibly seriously, as i said, and that's why we've taken the action we have. >> okay. minister, are you boy or boy? >> i'm bowie eamonn. >> i'm bowie eamonn. >> i'm bowie eamonn. >> i see this fascinates me. it always fascinates me. at the alamo , at jim bowie, who fought alamo, at jim bowie, who fought at the alamo, he wasn't a bowie. he was a bowie. but i just. it's the sort of word that you get with a famous singer, david. i mean , you get so many djs mean, you get so many djs calling them bowie and so many people call them bowie. and i just wondered .

just wondered. >> yeah, well, it's bowie in my case. all the rest are imposters, frankly. >> yeah. okay, okay. got you there. thank you very much indeed. very good talking to you. appreciate it, we have got. not at all. we've got christopher biggins and dawn neesom to talk about some of the stories making the headlines today, and begins, and dawn, the first thing we want to talk about is, lollipop people being scrapped and, there's this, cost saving. term going around. they cost £1 million a year. and which is really nothing in terms of a council's budget . but what of a council's budget. but what do you think about lolly? people going and begins? would it be something that you would ever be tempted to do? >> well, funnily enough, you should say that no , no, i think should say that no, no, i think the abuse they get do they? i think they get a lot of abuse from motorists who, you know, are stopped when they're in a rush to get somewhere and they suddenly walk out . i think some suddenly walk out. i think some of them are very arrogant too. i

think they take it too seriously. they think that they are our absolute only that that lollipop gives them a lot of power. and i think they sometimes you you can see them if you're if you're stopped just before . yes. and you can see and before. yes. and you can see and the children i feel the children don't like them either. oh gosh. i think there's a lot of aggravation there. >> goodness. >> goodness. >> if you're i certainly won't be, man , this morning. get in be, man, this morning. get in touch and defend yourselves against such slurs . against such slurs. >> what do you think, don? would you do it? i'm saying that i think. i don't think it should be a pad council position. it should voluntary and should should be voluntary and should be organised schools. and be organised by the schools. and i there'd be a lot of i think there'd be a lot of people in the neighbourhood who would and do half would say, i'll go and do half an hour and there, i think, an hour and are there, i think, yeah, whether it should be paid or not, not sure. or not, i'm not sure. >> but i think can be an >> but i think it can be an incredibly job. it's very incredibly hard job. it's very nice this time of year when nice at this time of year when you've got nice, light, warm days up, imagine days coming up, but imagine standing there all weathers standing there in all weathers doing maybe they do doing that. and maybe they do deserve paying, to be honest

with you get out and about and >> but you get out and about and you with people and you you mix with people and you know, yeah, but most of them are hurling abuse at you. >> amy. >> amy. >> well, give them phasers or stun then stun guns or something then electrocute that electrocute anybody that does does that, so. right. thank does do that, so. right. thank you for what you very much for that. what about charity situation, about this charity situation, dawn? billion by people dawn? 14 billion given by people in united kingdom despite in the united kingdom despite a cost of living crisis. >> well , i cost of living crisis. >> well, i think, you know, cost of living crisis. >> well , i think, you know, the >> well, i think, you know, the cost of living crisis. it's become a phrase now we use in every single area. isn't it? it really is. it's like the cost of living crisis. and if you go to many places, it's you're not getting that feeling a lot of the time. from what feeling the people really are in a cost of living crisis. there is money. well, there is and there isn't. and i think this cost of living crisis now is covering a multitude of sins. and the fact that so many people are giving to charity, i think it demonstrates that even in a cost of crisis. and i'm very of living crisis. and i'm very wary that phrase, people are wary of that phrase, people are still very generous and still very willing to give to causes that are close to their heart. but think both political

but i think both political parties are this cost parties now are using this cost of living crisis to get away with so many things. yes, people are struggling. times are are struggling. yes, times are hard, but i think if you go to many places like shops and restaurants and lots of places are really, really busy still. so i'm very wary about how we trot out phrase now. trot out this phrase now. >> no, i don't agree with you at all. i think everybody hurts with this . and i think if you've with this. and i think if you've got you would got kids, you you would think three to the cinema, three of us going to the cinema, whatever. way, no way. jose, whatever. no way, no way. jose, whatever. no way, no way. jose, what do think? what do you think? >> people still doing it? eamonn >> they're not doing it to the same degree. i mean, and you just ask anybody who works in an entertainment or catering industry it's like through industry and it's like through the suffering. industry and it's like through the but suffering. industry and it's like through the but i suffering. industry and it's like through the but i thinking. industry and it's like through the but i think interesting this >> but i think interesting this 14 is million or billion 14 is it million or billion billion , a billion, 14 billion billion, a billion, 14 billion is probably due to the fact that a lot of people are going into competitions to earn, like the lottery, to earn in a lot of money. so i think that's the other interesting thing. they are trying they are paying into charities, but hoping to get

back back to get back a huge amount of money, really. >> do you think a lot of this is only three people entering ballot? >> i think i honestly think the slant on the good stories this morning, aren't you, begins. well, i mean, but i think it's true, though i think it's, you know, i think have seen know, i think people have seen the horrors unfolding the the horrors unfolding in the middle in middle east, in russia, in ukraine, and people are moved. >> and i think british people are just incredibly generous. >> where they are >> well, where they are generous, switch on the generous, you switch on the television there's television and there's a whole new spate charity adverts new spate of charity adverts giving houses away postcode. >> absolutely , all sorts of >> absolutely, all sorts of things. >> i mean, davina mccall is advertising one as well. yeah, there's they're popping up everywhere . everywhere. >> exactly. >> exactly. >> even this company is giving 12,000 away. >> but i'm pretty sure that's not for charity. i think we so there's money and misery. >> you're saying ? >> you're saying? >> you're saying? >> i think so, i think the crossing, the two stories over here with the royal story and the whole cancer thing, i mean, i did a yet another marathon bike ride, for prostate cancer over the weekend. so i'm sort of

like trying to do that. and i think the fact that we're now talking about things like cancer so much is encouraging more people to give, certainly to medical charities to help raise funds for sure. funds for that. for sure. >> sure once again, red nose >> i'm sure once again, red nose day this was fantastic . day this year was fantastic. like the amount of money they raised. >> well, except everybody , all >> well, except everybody, all the parents i know were saying they get hands on they couldn't get their hands on a nose anywhere, and pretty a red nose anywhere, and pretty much the schools failed much all of the schools failed to market. >> there was bit of a sort >> and there was a bit of a sort of backlash. all the parents saying, why aren't they doing this? the schools don't this? so the schools don't seem to be behind in the same way, to be behind it in the same way, the red nose, celebrations, i remember relief being the red nose, celebrations, i rememioh, relief being the red nose, celebrations, i rememioh, you relief being the red nose, celebrations, i rememioh, you couldn'tief being the red nose, celebrations, i rememioh, you couldn't move ng the red nose, celebrations, i rememioh, you couldn't move for a huge oh, you couldn't move for red everything well, red nose, but everything well, no. so i don't know what's happened no. so i don't know what's happenelet's talk about pubs and >> and let's talk about pubs and closing times, christopher, this is front the today. is front page the mirror today. and they say that, and basically they say that, a lot of pubs are closing just at 8:00, they don't sell food . are 8:00, they don't sell food. are they? shut all together on quietest days to save on staff and energy costs?

>> well, i think this stemmed from brexit because i think, you know, so many people left the country, who wanted who were , country, who wanted who were, were workers and used to work in the pubs and i think, you know, nowadays it's like, for instance, heating , just heating instance, heating, just heating the place. so i mean, people go along there. i think not only for a pint or a gin and tonic, but also to get warm and, and i think it's costing these pubs a huge amount of money. the rates are bad and so to make the profit nowadays is not as easy as it used to be. when people used to go to the pub to have a socially a good evening out, you know, i think now they're doing it at home, they're going and they're buying their bottles of beers drinking it at home. beers and drinking it at home. >> that's thing. it's >> well that's the thing. it's very to go to very cheap to go to a supermarket and buy bottles of beer rather than into beer rather than go into a pub where to pay 4 or where you're going to pay 4 or 5, times as much. 5, six times as much. >> i mean, i think, what is a pint of beer? did i read somewhere this morning? >> £4.85 or something? >> £4.85 or something? >> where you buy it.

>> it depends where you buy it. i mean, if you're buying it in, you know, west ham, it's £6. >> yeah. £6. yeah. you know, west ham, it's £6. >> yremembereah. you know, west ham, it's £6. >> yremember when i was 16 and >> i remember when i was 16 and working a bar, there was working in a bar, there was uproar the of a pint uproar that the price of a pint rose from £0.35 to £0.50. >> wow. >> em- em— e uproar about it, don >> absolute uproar about it, don this awful situation in moscow and this terrorist attack on friday night, 137 people dead. >> it's . yeah. and. absolutely. >> it's. yeah. and. absolutely. and this is in all the papers today in front of the guardian. i've got pictures, quite harrowing pictures of the actual suspects who, have quite clearly been tortured by, by the, the, the police forces in, in russia. and there's an awful story about how one of them had his ear cut off and was forced. it was shoved in his mouth. but it's two suspects have appeared in court, but the interesting thing about this story is, even though isis k have claimed responsibility for this attack, which which must have been terrifying , you watch terrifying, you watch the footage it's awful. footage and it's just awful. these poor at this these poor people at this concert but even though concert again, but even though isis have claimed responsibility

, putin is refusing to accept it. i mean, in a speech he gave, he didn't name the islamist terror group once you in his pubuc terror group once you in his public statements on the attack and the russian foreign ministry spokesman has said, well, you know what the americans are saying, it's isis. but what do they know? they can't even solve who killed president kennedy ? who killed president kennedy? >> well, i know this concert hall. so well. this is the crocus city concert hall, and i filmed in moscow, and i spent two days a day filming there and a day watching a performance as well. and the amazing shopping mall around the whole place . and mall around the whole place. and it's really sobering to think that in this wonderful scenario, which we would all feel very much at ease and at home with burnt to the ground and 137 people murdered, absolutely terrified , and, you know, you terrified, and, you know, you think i'm sure some people think, well, the russians deserve that, but no one deserves that, though. i mean, putin deserves that, but not his

people. yeah. and these were they were children. children. there you know, and how they can do this. but but then this is what's happening all over the world now there's no thinking at all from these terrorists as to who they're hitting, who the individuals are children. i mean, what they what's happened in israel, the benefit of that. exactly >> also seeing these mug shots of the of the perpetrators in the front, i mean, a lot of people will have very little sympathy for them, of course. and, you know, yes, they're being tortured, people being tortured, but but people might care. i suppose might not care. but i suppose for it underlines why it is for me it underlines why it is so have a strong so important to have a strong judicial system, you judicial system, because you give two weeks and he'll give putin two weeks and he'll have these people through have forced these people through torture a confession torture to sign a confession saying was responsible. saying ukraine was responsible. this was zelenskyy use that this was zelenskyy and use that as reason to this is the very argument. >> that's the reason, isabel, and that's why you look at those pictures and they are suspects. okay. this is but this is okay. and this is but this is russian justice because otherwise but know, otherwise too. and but you know, watching footage of the watching the footage of the actual you just have an actual attacks, you just have an instant flashback to what happened manchester. yeah. happened in manchester. yeah.

absolutely chilling. i mean, children should be enjoying themselves concert, themselves at concert, running for lives terror. not for their lives in terror. not good, good, not good indeed. good, not good, not good indeed. >> well , listen, lots of you >> well, listen, lots of you have been getting in touch this morning on a range topics. morning on a range of topics. keep those thoughts coming in. lollipops all lollipops has got you all talking. councils are wrong to remove people keep our remove these people who keep our children government remove these people who keep our chil

of his ambition to create a more patriotic economy. >> we're now joined by the shadow secretary of state for wales, that is jo stevens. jo, good morning to you. what do you mean? what do we mean? jo by a more patriotic economy ? more patriotic economy? >> well, we're here in north wales. i'm with keir starmer and the new first minister of wales. vaughan gething to talk today about great british energy. so labouris about great british energy. so labour is committed to taking back control of our national energy security and we're going to do that through great british energy. so a publicly owned clean energy company and we'll energy. so a publicly owned cletout nergy company and we'll energy. so a publicly owned cletout oury company and we'll energy. so a publicly owned cletout our plans pany and we'll energy. so a publicly owned cletout our plans todayind we'll energy. so a publicly owned cletout our plans today for we'll set out our plans today for secure home—grown british energy . that will mean that we'll invest in clean energy generation that will cut bills for businesses and households across the country , create good, across the country, create good, well—paid jobs for people across the country. as well, and at the same time take back control of our energy security so that we're not relying on tyrants like vladimir putin. >> the it all sounds very well and good. how long would it take

to even get anywhere close to what you're talking about ? what you're talking about? >> well, we have the funding in place . we've explained how we're place. we've explained how we're going to fund great british energy through the windfall tax. and for every pound of government money that goes into it will be bringing in £3 from the private sector. and this is a really exciting, bold and ambitious plan. you know, we'll double onshore wind, we will treble solar power and we will quadruple offshore wind. and here wales particularly, we here in wales particularly, we want to play our part in powering the uk for generations to come. it's a really exciting plan and we're ready to deliver it. >> but if we're alive, by the time it comes about to mean, you know, again, i ask you, how long are you talking? five years, ten years, 50 years. what are you talking about? >> well, we can start straight away. and one of the real failures of the government for the years is that they the last 14 years is that they have wasted 14 years where we could been investing in could have been investing in things floating offshore things like floating offshore wind, instead which we've wind, and instead of which we've had no industrial strategy,

we've had no plan from the government , no decisions or, you government, no decisions or, you know, short sighted decisions have . so and in that have been made. so and in that time, foreign governments have been profiting from our energy systems in britain. so they're making profits on the back of british energy systems. and bills have been going up for households and businesses across the country . that's it in wales the country. that's it in wales particularly. so i was in the port of milford haven last week talking to companies there . you talking to companies there. you know, they are they want a renewable energy hub. they that port brings in 20% of current uk energy into the country. they're ready to invest in our plans. they want to see it happen. and at the moment you know we're not even at the starting line. after 14 years of failure and no decisions being made. >> you say we can start straight away, but still no mention of when would come stream. when that would come on stream. and about this being and you talk about this being a clear dividing line with the tories. and were just tories. and yet we were just speaking to the conservatives just a few moments ago, also talking private talking about a public private partnership bolster talking about a public private

parienergy�* bolster talking about a public private parienergy security bolster talking about a public private parienergy security . bolster talking about a public private parienergy security . but lster talking about a public private parienergy security . but iner our energy security. but in their case, talking about nuclear, no mention that from you. >> well, firstly, on your point about when will it come on stream? you know, we've got a very clear target that we've set ourselves, which will be part of ourselves, which will be part of our manifesto about clean energy by 2030. so you're looking at, you know, within years you know, within five years we've pretty demanding we've got a pretty demanding target that we're determined to meet of having clean energy by 2030. so that's very clear on the nuclear, announcement that government are making today. i mean, obviously, it's the first duty of any government to protect the nation and our support for the deterrent is total. you know, it's a cornerstone of national security. so we welcome, at long last, a defence nuclear strategy from the government. we've long argued for ministers to secure jobs in barrow, for example, and across the submarine supply and into the nuclear sector . into the nuclear sector. >> you're talking about being in wales, keir starmer being in wales, keir starmer being in wales today. i want to ask you about vaughan gething. he's the

new labour first minister in the devolved , and there are devolved nations, and there are lots of reports about, you know, the criticism of the conservatives in relation to the tory donor, frank hester. but i want to ask you specifically about the £200,000 in donations that has that vaughan gething has received offer twice convicted criminal and where this whether or not you think this meets the standards of the labour party, andindeed standards of the labour party, and indeed if you think the same treatment should be given to him as you've been calling for with frank hester. >> well, first of all, his name is vaughan gething, and secondly, this is a completely false equivalence with the frank hester situation. vaughn's donations were within the rules under the welsh labour leadership election rules, and he has declared them. they are in line with what is required in the senate and the electoral commission . and he has already commission. and he has already announced that for future leadership elections . and leadership elections. and there's going to be a review about the rules, which will include rules about donations, to think about whether or not should not. there should be caps on donations, example, and

on donations, for example, and that will start very, that review will start very, very drawing an very quickly. so drawing an equivalence the frank equivalence between the frank hester situation and vaughan gething, i think is completely wrong. >> but there is an admission, if he wants to look at the rules, that actually he thinks there is some kind of moral failing here because he's accepted. no, there's no admission, no there's no admission, there's no admission failing at all. >> no, that's that's that's not the case. >> thousand pounds from a convicted criminal. and you're saying it's saying that just because it's met that's okay. met the rules, that's okay. >> he had donations to his campaign, as did the other candidate. the donations are within the rules . and so to draw within the rules. and so to draw an equivalence with what has gone on with the £10 million from frank hester, who made racist comments and, and said that one of my colleagues, a black woman mp, should be shot, i think is a completely false equivalence. but asking you equivalence. but i'm asking you why to review these why he wants to review these rules. >> f- f totally fine morally. >> well, he has recognised that there's been criticism of it, and so he is addressing that criticism directly. and actually, after every leadership

election, we have a review of the rules. there's always been a review of how the election has gone, whether we need to make any tweaks and changes. and that will a matter the welsh will be a matter for the welsh labour to decide. labour party to decide. >> let's go back to energy >> joe, let's go back to energy and something i want to bring up the f word with you, and that is fracking and your view on it. i'm just looking in front of me here, just getting a lot of comments about this , sean says, comments about this, sean says, for instance, we are dependent on foreign powers for almost everything, and it's a suicidal pursuit of net stupid. net zero was talking about there. makes things worse every day. be like america, frack or get ready for regular power cuts. and i'll just add another one, mia, start fracking immediately. stop penalising oil companies that explore and produce more british oil immediately, so basically make energy a national priority , make energy a national priority, which is what you're, you're trying to do there. but the f word fracking. what's the future of fracking under labour?

>> so for example, in wales we don't have fracking and we won't be having it in england either. and what your , correspondents and what your, correspondents there have outlined is exactly what we're planning to do to secure energy. you know, this is this is all about taking back control of our national energy security so that we have home—grown clean energy. and as well as that, at the same time, well as that, at the same time, we are creating jobs right across the country, jobs that will make the economy grow, that will make the economy grow, that will bring in more taxes through into our treasury, which can then be invested in things like pubuc then be invested in things like public services . so it will cut public services. so it will cut bills for good for households and businesses as well. so there is something for everybody here. and it's but at the heart of it is securing our energy security so that we're not reliant on overseas supplies. >> a result of that or a by—product of that. secretary of state is, pylons and i don't need to go into much detail with you, but basically whether it's offshore, whether it's nuclear,

whatever our existing , whatever our existing, electricity grid cannot transport this in the volume required around the country. and it's going to take billions of pounds, thousands of miles of new electric pylons, ice . or you new electric pylons, ice. or you could argue they're dangerous as well. what's your take on electric pylons ? electric pylons? >> well, we have electric pylons in place already. we know we need to increase the capacity of the grid. there are different technologies that can be used, and i'm sure that , we will be and i'm sure that, we will be looking at all of those options as part of ramping up the grid, because this isn't something that we can leave any longer. the tories have done nothing on it for 14 years. it is causing a problem in terms of energy security. you know, that why security. you know, that is why we're having to import we're still having to import energy abroad and our plan energy from abroad and our plan will mean that we take back control of our national energy security. and we do that through great british energy, publicly owned. so the profits that are earned go back into government

for the benefit of the taxpayer. >> and would you live close to nearby have one in your back nearby or have one in your back garden electricity pylon? garden and electricity pylon? >> i did actually used to live in a that was right next in a house that was right next to an electricity pylon. i don't think they'd fit in anyone's back though. back garden though. >> i've seen them back >> well, i've seen them in back gardens. yeah we've done that. >> have seen a very big >> you must have seen a very big back garden. northern ireland, i'll tell you. back garden. northern ireland, i'll it ll you. back garden. northern ireland, i'll it was. j. back garden. northern ireland, i'll it was. it's quite a small >> it was. it's quite a small back garden as well. but, okay. thank you very indeed. thank you very much indeed. secretary state. very good. secretary of state. very good. talking you and outlining talking to you and outlining your plans. labour's plans, secretary your plans. labour's plans, secyet?y >> yet? >> yet? >> shadow secretary state, >> shadow secretary of state, shadow possibly. shadow secretary? possibly. yeah. >> e- 9 very much for your >> thank you very much for your time this morning, joe. thank you. thoughts of political you. the thoughts of a political correspondent, who's correspondent, james hill, who's been all of that in been listening to all of that in the wings. first all, what do the wings. first of all, what do you about their plans for you make about their plans for getting boot off our getting putin's boot off our throat, as they put it? >> well, i think this is labour's plan to really rebrand. what they're doing and sort of patriotic also using the patriotic tones, also using the language take back control, language like take back control, obviously trying to appeal to a lot of 2019 voters lot of those sort of 2019 voters who abandoned so who abandoned labour. and so it's about trying to repackage

all this kind of stuff. and all of this kind of stuff. and i think obviously a lot of it is quite sensible the sense quite sensible in the sense of actually we need to ensure we have energy security trying to deal like nuclear deal things more like nuclear energy, only energy, etc. the only question i would also say is what about these these question marks over these these question marks over the there's a new the costs. so there's a new policy exchange report out today suggesting that their plans to go decarbonise go completely decarbonise for energy going to cost energy by 2030 is going to cost 116 that's many more 116 billion. that's many more billions than say it billions than labour say it will. point is, it's going will. the point is, it's going to be a big debate about this figures. be of figures. and it could be one of those where those issues where we get another u—turn, to imply another u—turn, trying to imply that be a public that this would be a public private partnership, and there'll of investment there'll be lots of investment from the private sector. >> small proportion from the private sector. >>that small proportion from the private sector. >>that would small proportion from the private sector. >>that would comel proportion from the private sector. >>that would comel propthe)n of that would come from the government. of that would come from the government! think we know the >> even so, i think we know the legacy of these unfortunate pubuc legacy of these unfortunate public projects public infrastructure projects that being that actually don't end up being like think it's going like that. so i think it's going to one watch case of to be one to watch in case of another u—turn potentially. another u —turn potentially. >> she another u—turn potentially. >> she had to >> what about what she had to say mr gethings donations say about mr gethings donations as having bar of as she wasn't having a bar of that, she, that there was that, was she, that there was anything there? of anything wrong there? no of course party donations course i mean party donations story long running story is the big long running sore british politics really. sore of british politics really. >> unfortunately, sore of british politics really. >> thing unfortunately, sore of british politics really. >> thing unfcmore tely, sore of british politics really. >> thing unfcmore unpopular only thing that's more unpopular in state

in the current system is state donations no no donations of parties. no no voters ever to back that. voters ever want to back that. so i think should one big so i think it should be one big question. and something as labour the labour gets closer to the election, they're going to have more people more questions on is people who are campaigns are the funding the campaigns that unions. that used to back the unions. now it's about donors and now it's about these donors and what are. what their histories are. >> news of >> well, the other big news of the morning, spoke to the the morning, we spoke to the government 7:00, the morning, we spoke to the goverr we, tl 7:00, the morning, we spoke to the goverrwe, about 7:00, the morning, we spoke to the goverrwe, about their 7:00, didn't we, about their sort of plans boost nuclear plans to boost our nuclear defences against defences and protect us against putin. what putin. what did you make of what they announced today? is it particularly different what particularly different from what they've told us before? >> well, it's really a continuation of all of that, really. that what really. and i think that what we've the rishi sunak we've seen under the rishi sunak has belated focus has been a belated focus on energy and think energy security. and i think eamonn saying earlier, eamonn was saying earlier, you know, much know, we should have much more of coalition of this during the coalition days nick released days when nick clegg released that we that video about saying, we wouldn't nuclear power wouldn't have nuclear power because it wouldn't come online until if until 2022. i think, god, if only during the only we'd had that during the ukraine think the ukraine war. so i think the energy there's energy security there's something that's really been a focus coutinho and focus of claire coutinho and sunak, might be little focus of claire coutinho and surtoo might be little focus of claire coutinho and surtoo little, might be little focus of claire coutinho and surtoo little, t00|ht be little focus of claire coutinho and surtoo little, too late.e little focus of claire coutinho and surtoo little, too late. andttle bit too little, too late. and that can fortunately, the ephaph that can fortunately, the epitaph government epitaph for this government in lots and i lots of different ways, and i was making point to mr bowie was making the point to mr bowie and energy and the minister energy minister, all minister, that, you know, all this you know, this investment in, you know, physical defence, nuclear deterrence, it might physical defence, nuclear detyisence, it might physical defence, nuclear detyisencyvery it might physical defence, nuclear detyisencyvery well it might physical defence, nuclear detyisencyvery well and might physical defence, nuclear detyisencyvery well and good. be, is all very well and good. >> at least two of our

inactive, to according uk defence secretary grant shapps, after a massive ukrainian missile strike on sevastopol. security sources have told us that uk supplied storm shadow missiles were used. a major military communications centre has also been damaged. this marks the longest attack on the russian controlled port in the war so far, as tensions continue to escalate and despite a cost of living crisis, the british pubuc of living crisis, the british public donated a record £13.9 billion to charity in 2023. >> that's a 9% increase on the year before , and average monthly year before, and average monthly donations have increased by nearly 40% to £65. this report was produced by the charities aid foundation, and they found that the country's least affluent areas were among the most generous. as a proportion of household income .

of household income. >> i want to talk about a coronation street actor, dan brocklebank, and this is about vet bills, and we're going to be talking about this in an hour's time on the programme . so he has time on the programme. so he has got a little dash line called gene , and gene was ill and he gene, and gene was ill and he had to pay . he gene, and gene was ill and he had to pay. he was gene, and gene was ill and he had to pay . he was hit with a had to pay. he was hit with a bill of over £2,000. right. so now all this comes down to veterinary practices now being owned, being bought over and owned, being bought over and owned by big pharmaceutical companies. and he was subscribed or prescribed, sorry, tablets. which cost him £26.90. and it turned out they were just paracetamol . and they're paracetamol. and they're available from the chemist at £0.38 each. so, he took , gene to £0.38 each. so, he took, gene to an out—of—hours vet. he was charged £500 to admit her. it was an emergency, so he had to pay was an emergency, so he had to pay it. and i think people often pay pay it. and i think people often pay anything for their pet because they just love it so much. so, so he was then charged

another £1,500 for an x ray and another £1,500 for an x ray and an oxygen tent and, anyway, it came to £2,100. his overall bill. >> come on. i want to know who's profiting in all of this. is it the pharmaceutical companies, pharmaceutical? if you're a vet, get this get in touch with us this morning. because that morning. because the vets that i know particularly well paid, know not particularly well paid, incredibly , long incredibly hard working, long hours, fairly thankless task. a lot of it. quite sad work , quite lot of it. quite sad work, quite difficult work because they have to treat everything to be able to treat everything from hamster they're not from a hamster to a they're not particularly well would particularly well paid, i would say, if you say, compared to doctors, if you think level of think of the level of qualification involved, qualification studying involved, doctors are disproportionately paid more than, say, a vet. and yet you were yet really, if you were in a crisis , actually a vet is crisis, actually a vet is legally allowed operate legally allowed to operate on a human, whereas a human doctor would never be allowed to operate legally on an animal. they're well qualified, our they're so well qualified, our vets. hard to be vets. and so it's so hard to be a vet, so let us know, are you making money from this as vets? these mark—ups and prices? making money from this as vets? thes are mark—ups and prices? making money from this as vets? thes are the mark—ups and prices? making money from this as vets? thes are the who —ups and prices? making money from this as vets? thes are the who ares and prices? making money from this as vets? thes are the who are the|d prices? making money from this as vets? thes are the who are the sort ices? making money from this as vets? thes are the who are the sort of s? who are the who are the sort of naughty people in all of this, i suppose, is what i'm trying to

get to the big pharmaceutical companies. >> they're being bought over more and more. they're all becoming this is becoming chains. i mean, this is a problem , i think, all our a problem, i think, with all our businesses the country . businesses around the country. if you look, there's a lovely town in ireland called westport. and the amazing thing is you go down the street , the main street down the street, the main street in westport, and all the shops look the same . they all look the look the same. they all look the same. you think, gosh . and same. you think, gosh. and behind the facade of each shop is a boots, is a mcdonald's is a kfc, whatever, whatever. but you don't know that. you don't know that because they're all made to look that bit like regent street in london, where they have to all look sort of uniform despite all look sort of uniform despite all big brands . all their big brands. >> this one street, isn't >> this is the one street, isn't it, in london that the king it, in in london that the king does that on where all the big logos in a certain logos have to go in a certain way it looks nice and uniform. >> all the logos gone >> all the big logos have gone and i that's very good. i and i think that's very good. i think problem our think the problem with our country is that, it used to be able anywhere. able to travel anywhere. barcelona you know, milan, whatever. and you would take

back something that you couldn't get back in britain. now you get everything. everything's the same everywhere. the world is just becoming the same. and i don't think that's very good. and i think that, you know, cleethorpes looks the same as clacton. and so it goes around the place . make the make we the place. make the make we should make our towns and our villages distinctive . that's villages distinctive. that's what we should really do. but big business capitalism is everywhere. one market for the whole world. what's your view on that? let us know. in the meantime , you say good morning meantime, you say good morning to marco. he's got your weather. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar , sponsors of weather on . solar, sponsors of weather on. gb news. >> hello. here's your latest weather update from the met office for gb news. after a quieter end to the weekend , quieter end to the weekend, things are turning more unsettled, i'm afraid. once we head through new working head through the new working week, spells wind and week, further spells of wind and rain all areas rain to come across all areas and wet and windy weather and that wet and windy weather is pushing

breakfast. >> hey. we are going to talk now about online information and disinformation . and this disinformation. and this particular debate has arisen because of the royal family and the wave of conspiracies over the wave of conspiracies over the past couple of weeks on the princess of wales. >> yes. and it's not just the royals who are facing the brunt of internet trolls. a new report today the safety today from the online safety charity matters has charity internet matters has revealed of girls aged 13 to revealed 77% of girls aged 13 to 16 have reported harmful digital experiences. >> not only that, some parents now even see the harassment of girls online line as normal. >> so this morning we're asking whether we need stricter rules for social media. two sides of this argument samantha lee, who thinks social media does need stricter rules. but the commentator and weight loss coach miller wants to coach steve miller wants to protect of speech.

protect freedom of speech. i think it's interesting, steve, from your point of view, because where do you stop? >> where do you draw the line? it's awful. and you know, it's terrible. i mean, and if you could, would somebody terrible. i mean, and if you co the would somebody terrible. i mean, and if you co the mouth,uld somebody terrible. i mean, and if you co the mouth, really, somebody terrible. i mean, and if you co the mouth, really, if somebody terrible. i mean, and if you co the mouth, really, if you mebody in the mouth, really, if you could, with but you can't. could, with this. but you can't. so do we then there just couldn't be enough people to police what we're talking about here. surely >> well, you know, we already have the community standards. these rules are already in place. i've got a set of them here from one platform. and it actually talks about abuse and harassment that you may not share abusive content and engage in the targeted harassment of someone. et cetera. et cetera. et cetera. which, of course, is quite right. so. so the rules are already in place. and i think to enhance the rules even more deeply is going to prevent free speech and censorship is, you know, is a bit worrying if you're going to censor people from having an opinion . and i from having an opinion. and i think actually that also includes speculation . includes speculation. speculation to me is a form of

opinion . so i do think we have opinion. so i do think we have to be careful. yes, there are some people online that call people names and i get it all the time. i get it about the size of my forehead. for example, i could get a rosette on that best in show. however you know there are also there is also the point if you're going to put yourself out there, you're not going to get everyone agreeing with you, you are going to banter, and to get some banter, and sometimes going to get sometimes you're going to get sometimes you're going to get some my view some name calling. my view on name me in name calling for me in particular, and i would say for other people, is you to get other people, is you have to get overit other people, is you have to get over it or or you just don't over it or you or you just don't go social media. i think it, go on social media. i think it, i think it would be damning to say got to get even say we've got to get even tighter. already tighter. i mean, we've already got we want got the rules. what do we want to we then say, you to what do we then say, you know, we of list know, do we sort of list everything you're allowed to everything you're not allowed to say media? say on social media? >> let's samantha lee >> well, let's get samantha lee howe's reaction to this, because, know, there have because, you know, there we have the saying that this is the argument saying that this is banter, a bit name banter, sometimes a bit of name calling, over calling, but, i mean, over the weekend , we saw this anonymous weekend, we saw this anonymous troll of the really troll behind a lot of the really vindictive and damaging allegations, speculation about

the princess of wales being unmasked and rightly so. i mean, the harms can be significant, can't they ? can't they? >> absolutely. and one of the biggest problems i have, of course, steve. yes, you're absolutely right . we do have absolutely right. we do have rules and regulations, but the biggest problem there is that a lot of social media sites are not actually enforcing them. when you put in a complaint and you claim that something is fake news, usually what comes back is no, we don't agree because it is a moderated by an ai bot and not by a human being. the situation with kate, of course , is with kate, of course, is absolutely appalling. i mean, it's all very well and good sharing memes that are funny because a picture was posted, that was slightly more, you know, slightly, photoshopped and inaccurately, but the poor lady is being ill, and anybody who knows about , you know, is being ill, and anybody who knows about, you know, abdominal surgery for women, it takes many, many months to get better.

and the fact that some troll out there did decide to have a go and make spread a lot of fake news was absolutely despicable. and that should stop. i mean, there's nothing wrong with freedom of speech. i agree completely with steve on that. we need to have freedom of speech, and there is a certain amount putting up with an amount of, putting up with an awful lot of things that you have to when put yourself have to when you put yourself out social media. but out there on social media. but should to put up with should we have to put up with them really ? should mean, them really? should we? i mean, that's big question. i don't that's a big question. i don't think . i think it think we should. i think it should stop. would you into should stop. would you walk into a room and see a person and say some of things directly to some of the things directly to their face that you say on social media? i know i certainly wouldn't do either. >> how would you police it though ? though? >> samantha, i think it has to be to down the social media service now. i think they have to take responsibility for it because that's the only way we could police it . there are rules could police it. there are rules for newspapers. there are rules for newspapers. there are rules for and, and of course, the bodies who run the newspapers

have to adhere to those rules. so maybe it's that's the first line of court. >> yeah. what do you make about that? i mean, steve, this idea that? i mean, steve, this idea that parents are now just considering harassment of their daughters as just standard, i mean, is that the standard we now have to accept? >> well, it says a lot about the parents, doesn't it? it says a lot about the parents. if i had children, if i was lucky enough to have children, i would be monitoring what they're doing on social media. yes, absolutely. it's harassing it's wrong to be harassing children, but as a parent, can they do it? they do about it? >> steve? can they take it >> steve? how can they take it a step further? >> that's also my >> that's that's also my responsibility as a parent. and i tell you one if i was i tell you one thing, if i was seeing children can get seeing that children can get harassed social media, my harassed on social media, my children on social children wouldn't be on social media. so i get it, i understand it, and we all agree that it's wrong. but but you know what we've got to be careful of if we start going down the road of you're not allowed to say this, you're not allowed to say this, you're allowed say that, you're not allowed to say that, you're not allowed to say that, you're allowed to say this. you're not allowed to say that, ymean, allowed to say this. you're not allowed to say that, ymean, we'llowed to say this. you're not allowed to say that, ymean, we'll alld to say this. you're not allowed to say that, ymean, we'll all it'll say this. you're not allowed to say that,

ymean, we'll all it'll be! this. i mean, we'll all it'll be an authoritarian state. but as for the harassing course the harassing kids, of course it's wrong. of course it's wrong. but parents should step up sort it . up to the mark, sort it. >> okay, guys, thanks very much indeed. you've. we've posed the question . people will have their question. people will have their views on that. vaiews@gbnews.uk com steve miller and samantha leeuw thank you both very much indeed. what annoys me most about social media at the moment is how they predict what you like. so i watch football , but i like. so i watch football, but i get nothing but football, whatever they're called messages, memes and what they're called. and then cars and then what else do i get on? oh, houses. i'm not getting things on the houses. i just think i like the idea of general, on the houses. i just think i like the idea of general , the like the idea of general, the idea that i can like a bit of that or i didn't know about making dollies, or i do not want to in vacuum where all to be in a vacuum where all i see is what i like already. >> i want know about >> i want to know about everything. the whole everything. yes, the whole world. to know about world. if you want to know about everything, not everything, social media is not the yes, but. >> yes, but. >> yes, but. >> but that by then, >> but they do that by then,

looking at your your tastes or what you tend to click on and then you're giving else. then you're giving nothing else. and always asking and this idea of always asking for to proceed with this, we would like your email address. why? >> well, i think it's because isn't it an age thing. because i've not encountered that. >> what my emails got to do with my age. you can have an email at any age . yeah. but, and they do any age. yeah. but, and they do ask your age they don't ask ask your age and they don't ask your age. they say, when is your birthday? as if care , no, birthday? as if they care, no, no, just bugger off. really? that's what you want to say, isn't it? >> i mean , i think the trouble >> i mean, i think the trouble with social media, from my point of view, is it knows what my weaknesses it's weaknesses are, and it's basically things. basically selling me things. >> then can't basically >> and so then i can't basically go media to look at go on to social media to look at pictures friend's pictures of my friend's kids without accidentally without ending up accidentally buying candlestick that buying a candlestick that i didn't need. >> being paul coyte >> imagine being sold paul coyte day after whatever it is. day after day, whatever it is. >> me. imagine all >> oh goodness me. imagine all my adverts are all coming for like over 60, over 70 and i don't want those so well, i don't want those so well, i don't want those so well, i don't want one of those things to my two feet in. don't want one of those things to that's two feet in. don't want one of those things to that's goingeet in. don't want one of those things to that's going to in. don't want one of those things to that's going to keep my feet

making pet ownership so unaffordable , we'll be looking unaffordable, we'll be looking at how much owning a pet will actually cost you. how far would you go? how much would you pay? and are the vets ripping us off? let us know. >> and in the sport, andy murray may well have played his last hardcourt match after losing in miami . more injury worries for miami. more injury worries for gareth southgate ahead of the belgian tomorrow, and the belgian game tomorrow, and the quickest ever in quickest goal ever in international football has been scored . scored. >> good morning. after a fairly quiet end to the weekend weather wise, i'm afraid the week ahead does look unsettled. once again. there'll be further of there'll be further spells of wind and rain at times, and i'll have later. have all the details later. >> leading on this monday morning, the prime minister will declare a new funding scheme to secure the future of , he says, secure the future of, he says, his uk's nuclear industry.

>> he's hoping the new funds will create 40,000 new job roles by the end of the decade. earlier, we spoke to minister for energy, security and net zero andrew baker bowie. >> we're going to be creating hundreds of thousands of new high wage high school jobs. the length breadth of the length and breadth of the country, many in where country, many in places where high jobs are actually at high wage jobs are actually at a premium. and that's why i'm so excited the investment excited about the investment that making today in that we are making today in sizewell c and hinkley point c, and a third gigawatt scale project coming down the line after our small after that, and our small modular reactor programme, this is a whole new is going to create a whole new range technologies range of energy technologies to support transition to become support our transition to become more energy secure and independent. but yes, it is about creating new jobs in parts of the country where where they are desperately needed. this news comes today as the deputy prime minister, oliver dowden , prime minister, oliver dowden, is expected to tell parliament that beijing is behind a wave of cyber attacks on senior mps and peers . peers. >> well, joining us now is gb news political correspondent katherine forster good morning to you, catherine. so whilst the

government might want to be talking about nuclear and new jobs seems as though jobs there, it seems as though the attention seems to be perhaps a little bit more on cyber and the threat cyber security and the threat that's being posed china, that's being posed by china, russia and indeed iran. >> yes, that's right. and good morning, eamonn and isabel. it does feel like we are living in a more and more dangerous world, doesn't it? so yes, the government today is keen to focus on nuclear, nuclear power, something which there's a newfound enthusiasm for. of course , it's only 14 years ago course, it's only 14 years ago that nick clegg, as part of the coalition was basically saying, oh, well, it takes too long. effectively, let's not worry about it. but part of energy security is also investing in nuclear submarines. lots of concerns about defence spending . concerns about defence spending. but china too, because we know that china, we have very close trading relations with them. they're incredibly powerful . but

they're incredibly powerful. but we now discover that they have been involved in hacking attacks . in fact, it's reported that they were able to access the details of 40 million british citizens on the electoral roll in the last couple of years. and they've also been targeting mps that are critical of links. we have to china people, including former conservative leader sir iain duncan smith and indeed they these this group of mps having a meeting today and with security services to bring them up to date. but we've come a long way haven't we, from going back to the coalition government where the, the red carpet was rolled out for china , david rolled out for china, david cameron, george osborne, the then chancellor , talking about a then chancellor, talking about a golden age of relations with china. and that seems to have faded. but the thing is, of

course, that we are hugely entangled with china . taking entangled with china. taking a tougher line has consequences. so the government trying to tread a delicate line and also, of course, since bringing lord cameron in as foreign secretary, some saying that the government has softened its approach on china and that that needs to change. >> okay, catherine, thanks very much indeed . much indeed. >> and it's been revealed today that whitehall figures fear russia, china and iran are fuelling online conspiracy theories and disinformation about the princess of wales. >> so the front of the telegraph this morning, they're quoting whitehall sources. it all comes as senior royals are rallying to support the king and the princess of wales , both who are princess of wales, both who are now receiving cancer treatment, royal editor at vanity fair, katie nicholl, joins us now. katie, how credible do you think this accusation is? >> i think it's pretty credible. i don't think the telegraph would put anything on their front page that sort of didn't

have some substance to and, have some substance to it. and, you think we've seen you know, i think we've seen this with the duchess of sussex as these these these as well. these bots, these these trolls sort can't almost as well. these bots, these these tro attached art can't almost as well. these bots, these these tro attached to can't almost as well. these bots, these these tro attached to a can't almost as well. these bots, these these tro attached to a single almost as well. these bots, these these tro attached to a single person, be attached to a single person, but they're sort of generated and algorithms generated, but that get that disinformation and that get that disinformation and that sentiment out there. and i think actually when you sit back and consider that at a time when we're two senior members of the royal family down the monarchy is looking, well, quite frankly, more vulnerable and fragile than it has since the death of queen elizabeth, possibly even more so. this disinformation, this sense of unsettling the nation actually has a very deep and profound impact. we don't see it, but it does . it, but it does. >> and talking about how unsettling even the truth, which is that the princess catherine is that the princess catherine is very unwell. i mean, we were just discussing before we came on air how upset we both were personally, very much on friday, and i was choked up. i think a lot of people were not only for the princess of wales, of course, for her little ones, but also william. after

also for william. after everything through. everything he's been through. >> here before, >> well, we've sat here before, haven't as well, and eamonn haven't we, as well, and eamonn and talked about the prince of wales the pressure wales and the pressure on him that mean, not that he's under. i mean, not only weight of the only must the weight of the crown hang very heavily on his shoulders the moment, but shoulders at the moment, but he's with a father who's he's dealing with a father who's in his and he's clearly not in his 70s and he's clearly not well , his now, in his 70s and he's clearly not well, his now, i think if well, his wife. now, i think if you yourself in his you put yourself in his position, it's got to be very, very tough indeed. but what i know about the prince of wales is that he has the most amazing levels of resilience and inner strength and when you consider the tragedy that he faced as a young man and what he's gone through, he will be drawing on that strength. he also knows that strength. he also knows that in his wife, he has one strong woman. and i think what struck so many of us when we saw that unprecedented video message was her level of optimism in all of this, and she believes that she's going to be well and okay. he believes that, too . and while he believes that, too. and while the focus is very much on her, he will be that bedrock, that

foundation underpinning everything , giving her the everything, giving her the reassurance that she needs. i think she used that word herself , the prince, the princess and the king how closely would they be coordinating on all of this? i mean, we i'm assuming she just doesn't make this announcement of her own accord. >> no. and it was unprecedented. you know, a written statement would have been the norm. but she felt that that would just be too difficult for the british pubuc too difficult for the british public and the people of the commonwealth and beyond to accept. and i think she was absolutely right. but that decision would made decision would have been made with william, with with william, with him backing she would certainly backing it. she would certainly have spoken with the king about it, and she has obviously had their full support in it. and we know that she met with the king after filming that message. so she have well she will have been well supported. but think this is supported. but i think this is an of catherine doing an example of catherine doing things her and i think when things her way. and i think when you how the narrative spun you see how the narrative spun so of her control, who so much out of her control, who wouldn't want to be in front of the camera addressing those

people herself in an independently filmed message? i think it very important. think it was very important. >> and i'm katie, no coincidence that it released after her that it was released after her children had broken up for the easter holidays, so the kids don't have to go in and don't then have to go in and face a barrage of questions from their about face a barrage of questions from their even about face a barrage of questions from their even in about face a barrage of questions from their even in this about face a barrage of questions from their even in this difficult others. even in this difficult moment, was thinking about moment, she was thinking about her children as well. >> she was thinking her >> she was thinking about her children not to expose children not wanting to expose them any playground gossip , them to any playground gossip, and she was thinking about anyone that's gone through a cancer diagnosis because her parting message in is, parting message in that is, don't forget, is hope. so don't forget, there is hope. so evenin don't forget, there is hope. so even in her inner turmoil and all of that insecurity and fear that she's feeling, she's thinking of her little children. she's thinking of her husband, and she's thinking of everyone who's been touched by this with a message of hope. the end, a message of hope. at the end, when she comes through this, she will be the cancer champion, will be the cancer champion, will not? will she not? >> i that her and the >> i mean, that her and the disease will be forever linked and she'll be forever be a champion. >> i hope so, and i think we've seen the princess champion

stigmas in many forms, whether that's mental health awareness and issues, addiction. tough tough issues that are still stigmas even though they affect so many people in society. if 1 in 2 people are going to go through a cancer diagnosis , through a cancer diagnosis, smashing that stigma is a brilliant thing for to her do. >> and just lastly, you know, she talked about or originally we were told she'd be back pretty much after easter. now there's been question marks about trooping the colour in june. but given the revelation on friday night, do you get the sense that everybody pulling sense that everybody is pulling back you take the back and saying, you take the yean back and saying, you take the year, you take as long as you like? there's not going to like? yeah, there's not going to be the pressure and clamour be the same pressure and clamour for to be back in front of for her to be back in front of the cameras as absolutely been. for her to be back in front of the absolutely. absolutely been. for her to be back in front of the absolutely. iibsolutely been. for her to be back in front of the absolutely. i mean,aly been. >> absolutely. i mean, conversely, we're hearing that the back the king possibly might be back as is. and, you know, as soon he is. and, you know, we've talked before. we've talked about that before. his frustration this his frustration about this recovery being than he recovery being lengthier than he had we have to had planned. look, we have to wait and how catherine wait and see how catherine tolerates treatment. some tolerates this treatment. some people through tablet form people sail through tablet form chemotherapy know what

chemotherapy who don't know what she's on. she may very well sail through this. may see her through this. we may see her sooner we think. but the sooner than we think. but the point is, there is no pressure. it will be in her time when she's ready. >> katie. thank >> fabulous. katie. thank you very as very much indeed. katie. as a mum, i'd like to ask you this question. >> don't make me cry. eamonn. >> don't make me cry. eamonn. >> no no, no. >>— >> no no, no. >> where do you stand? where do you stand on lollipop people, men and women who do the lollipop job outside schools. they get £11.70 per hour. to do this. but hampshire council are looking to make cuts and it would save them £1 million a yean would save them £1 million a year, which is. which is nothing really in a council's budget. but what's what's your view on? do you think it's a necessity? do you think it's a necessity? do you think it's a necessity? do you think it should be a voluntary position? what's your view? >> i think they're absolute essential. and i remember my lollipop lady from when i was at school and i'm, you know, when i'm running around doing the school run, when i'm not here with you guys in the mornings, i think, i wish that school had a lollipop man or lady because

they need it, because nothing is more important than the safety of okay bring them of our children. okay bring them back where they back and keep them where they are after them. are and look after them. >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> we're to talk about >> we're going to talk about that now. that's why i just wanted to your your wanted to gauge your your opinion on all this. it's opinion on all of this. so it's hampshire county council sacking. lollipop sacking. they have 21 lollipop men on their staff. men and women on their staff. and they're saying, right, we need million. so need to save £1 million. so we'll of those people. we'll get rid of those people. yeah. >> e says there aren't >> the council says there aren't enough pedestrian vehicle enough pedestrian and vehicle movements cost of movements to warrant the cost of some patrols, operate at some patrols, which operate at pick and drop off schools. pick up and drop off at schools. parents very worried about this. >> they argue >> understandably, they argue that as this could that measures such as this could endanger their endanger the lives of their children. report children. and here's a report from our south—west of england correspondent, jeff moody >> sharon woodford has been guiding children across this street in holbury in hampshire for 32 years. >> she's phenomenal. she's phenomenal. she knows every single child by their name , so single child by their name, so it doesn't matter how old they are, it doesn't matter how old they are or anything. yeah,

she's been amazing. >> i don't know how i remember their names, but i do. you must really care. yes, i do, and it'd be a shame to see it go. but what do you do? you know, sharon has been told she may be losing herjob. her job. >> as the council says the road's not busy enough to warrant her salary. and she's not alone. 21 lollipop men and women in hampshire are facing the chop in cost cutting measures that may mean the end of school crossing patrols altogether . parents are of school crossing patrols altogether. parents are angry, i think it's ridiculous , she's think it's ridiculous, she's here every day, twice a day, getting us across this road safely. it's the main road to going through this area. a lot of the kids that go to that school, they they walk on the road from that direction. so they're on their own. so i just think with all the money flying around in the at the around in the world at the moment, least they could do moment, the least they could do is afford to this wonderful is afford to fund this wonderful person across the road. >> e many road. >> many councils, hampshire >> like many councils, hampshire county it's running county council says it's running out cash. they say they have out of cash. they say they have a hole in their budget to the

tune of £132 million. after coming for 21 lollipop men and women. the remaining 163 school crossing patrols could be removed as well. in a statement, hampshire county council said whilst we have a legal duty to promote road safety and take measures to prevent accidents , measures to prevent accidents, there is no specific legal requirement for us to provide school crossing patrols, of which there are currently 184. in hampshire. which there are currently 184. in hampshire . we know that local in hampshire. we know that local communities value their school crossing patrol officers, and this is not a reflection on individuals undertaking that role, but there may be effective alternatives for some sites, such as installing permanent safety measures or improvements to make a crossing point safer. but locals say these cuts put their children's lives at risk. >> i think it's stupid because this road can be very fast , very this road can be very fast, very fast and like a lot of load of the kids just come flying and cross and she's there. she she's

like the safety hub of the road. >> hampshire county council says 13 services are facing cuts from household waste recycling centres to bus services. parents in holbury have got together a petition to try and save sharon woodford's job. the council says it hasn't made any firm decisions yet and will only remove the service if a crossing can be made safe. lollipop men and women have been a mainstay outside our schools for seven decades. for many, there as british as fish and chips. but if councils can't balance their books, these stalwarts at our school gates may become a thing of the past. jeff moody, gb news about that. >> a thing of the past, well, let's hope not, if this was my area, says diane , i'd be able to area, says diane, i'd be able to make a few suggestions downstairs . art around the city downstairs. art around the city surfboarding lessons for foster

families and many other follies. look at what services used to be provided when council tax was affordable . so i think what affordable. so i think what she's saying is you could get rid of a lot of these and save the lollipop people at the same time. yeah, it's about £5,000 a yean time. yeah, it's about £5,000 a year, that they would cost . year, that they would cost. >> yeah. stanley saying these money wasting councils should take a good look at themselves. start of the start by sacking all of the useless happily useless jobsworths so happily harbour . say useless jobsworths so happily harbour. say what you really think, stanley. harbour. say what you really thiryeah,|nley. harbour. say what you really thiryeah, buty. harbour. say what you really thiryeah, but you have to say >> yeah, but you have to say what you think, stanley, because, there a difference because, there is a difference between things need in life between things we need in life and we don't need now. and things we don't need now. the council are making a decision there that we don't need lollipop people need those lollipop people about, i think most you would about, i think most of you would argue there's always the possibility of something going wrong , bad driver out there, wrong, bad driver out there, just somebody who's putting an arm around the children and saying, we'll get you across here. everything will be okay. tell your parents not to worry. okay? 16 minutes past the hour of 8:00. we're also going to say coming up very, very shortly. we've got vets and how much they

next. in the papers last week, we're browsing through, as we do every day here with the newspapers. and this one caught my eye, in coronation street, there's daniel brocklebank. you'll know daniel. vicar, isn't daniel. he's the vicar, isn't he? and he was, he was hit with a vet bill of £2,100 for one of his dash lines. there and it wasn't only the cost of the bills. he was shocked to pay £26.90 for paracetamol , which he £26.90 for paracetamol, which he then found out paracetamol is paracetamol . there's no such paracetamol. there's no such thing as pet paracetamol and then paracetamol . for thing as pet paracetamol and then paracetamol. for eamonn and isabel, it's available in the chemist at £0.38. >> so many stories people have been emailing in since you were talking about this a little bit earlier, debbie says. my cat had an we went to vet an eye abscess. we went to a vet an eye abscess. we went to a vet a few times. it wasn't healing. they prescribed an eye drop for £96. when i got home, i looked

these people got in touch with us, and they're. first of all, we say hello. good morning to dog behaviourist zoe willingham, retired civil servant emma parsons, emma parsons read , i parsons, emma parsons read, i think that is. and consumer blogger and puppy owner jane hawkes . now, i want to go hawkes. now, i want to go through the three of you and find out how many pets are, what sort of pets you have. zoe first of all, tell me about how many pets are you responsible for, currently i have over 100 animals in my care. i'm a rescuer and i take on and rehab animals. so, ranging from dogs, cats, tortoises and birds etc. so yeah, i've got lots under my care at the moment. >> i dread to ask you about bills and things like that, but that that's just cost. that is amazing, emma, what about you , amazing, emma, what about you, well, i've currently just got two cats, so. yeah, i had obviously had a third one, which i'll tell you about, in a bit. what do you mean? just the two cats at the moment. >> tell me what happened to the

third one, my cat phoebe, last year , her eye started to be year, her eye started to be pushed out, and. >> oh, we'll try and sort out the connection. >> that looks like a beautiful ragdoll or some sort of, i think, ragdoll to tell us that phoebe's passed away. yeah, phoebe's passed away. yeah, phoebe got oral cancer. i think . phoebe got oral cancer. i think. oh, and then emma. >> okay, sue does that leave us with a not sure. >> jane in the middle there. >> jane in the middle there. >> jane in the middle there. >> jane in the middle. >> jane in the middle. >> come on, jane, tell us now how many you have. how many pets you have. >> i've got two i can see, i can, i've got barney, who's a labradoodle, and he is almost ten. and i've got bertie, who is two and a half, and he is labrador. >> okay. what's your experience, jane? we'll begin with you. what's your experience with vets? and bertie and barney ? vets? and bertie and barney? >> yeah, well, i've always been quite worried about about vets cos they always kind of double check. think twice before i take them. just so it's not a wasted visit, because the consultation in itself is, is not as

considerable sum. and then as you've gone through some of the expenses that people are faced with once they do go, you know, some things which are really, really then i just really overpriced, then i just want make sure that i always want to make sure that i always dot i's want to make sure that i always dot 1's and cross the t's. dot the 1's and cross the t's. and i took out and insurance because thought that would because i thought that it would because i thought that it would be good, cost effective way in be a good, cost effective way in the term making the long term of making sure that the of care. that they got the best of care. and started off about £50 and it started off about £50 a month for both of them. it went up because i claimed on barney's insurance and almost doubled . so insurance and almost doubled. so now i've managed to get it back to the £50, but when he had, cancen to the £50, but when he had, cancer, he had an mct. a couple of years ago now, then those costs that i was facing were towards five grand. so really it was a drop. it was a drop in the ocean and worth every penny. >> gosh. yeah. well, this is the thing. prepared thing. people are prepared to pay thing. people are prepared to pay because i think pay huge amounts because i think we don't know because it's not you can look one of your you can look at one of your children you can talk children and you can talk through an experience that you had you can say, had yourself, and you can say, well, they've got a bit of a temperature that will two temperature that will take two days. where does it hurt? and

they yeah, they they can tell you, yeah, they can you, whereas your pet can tell you, whereas your pet doesn't talk to you. >> zahawi is what you find? >> zahawi is that what you find? i mean, you've got so many to deal with. >> yeah. i mean, the for me, i have to really think about when i go to the vets, but i have i do go to the vets, but i have to say i go to an independent i do go to the vets, but i have to sand go to an independent i do go to the vets, but i have to sand io to an independent i do go to the vets, but i have to sand i am an independent i do go to the vets, but i have to sand i am very,1dependent i do go to the vets, but i have to sand i am very, veryzndent i do go to the vets, but i have to sand i am very, very lucky vet and i am very, very lucky with in the fact that with my fair in the fact that i trust them, yes, it does cost me a lot of money, but i would do whatever it took to actually make sure my pets were okay, so yeah. our vet bill yeah. so you know, our vet bill can anything from £100 to can range anything from £100 to up to £8,000. you know, it depends what's needed, but depends on what's needed, but i accept to pay that. accept i have to pay that. >> have quite good >> you have quite a good knowledge of veterinary surgeries, don't you? because you a veterinary you used to be a veterinary nurse and eamonn and i just nurse and eamonn and i were just discussing earlier who's making nurse and eamonn and i were just discussfrom arlier who's making nurse and eamonn and i were just discussfrom allar who's making nurse and eamonn and i were just discussfrom all these 's making nurse and eamonn and i were just discussfrom all these big1aking nurse and eamonn and i were just discussfrom all these big what] nurse and eamonn and i were just dis(we from all these big what] nurse and eamonn and i were just dis(we calling l these big what] nurse and eamonn and i were just dis(we calling them? big what] are we calling them? conglomerates. that the conglomerates. that is this the vets making because vets making money here? because my of vets is that my experience of vets is that they're hard working, not they're very hard working, not necessarily paid what they perhaps . when you perhaps deserve. when you think the training and skill the level of training and skill involved being able to involved and being able to operate on anything from a hamster you know, is hamster to a cow, you know, is it the vets that are pocketing this that we're

this huge increase that we're seeing ? this huge increase that we're see no,? this huge increase that we're see no, i don't think it is. >> no, i don't think it is. i mean, ultimately what we need to have a think about is i actually think vets are actually massively undercharging, think vets are actually massivelforndercharging, think vets are actually massivelfor whatharging, think vets are actually massivelfor whathargi|actually actually for what they actually do, on side do, having worked on this side and having from and having worked from a consumer side, they are massively undercharging the skill and expertise that those people have, they don't just close the laptop and go home. at the end of the day , they're the end of the day, they're still thinking about your pet, they're still thinking about the pet. they've had put to pet. they've had to put to sleep. they've still had to help. not help. you know, they're not turning thing about turning off, the one thing about our is i think they're our vets is i think they're massively undervalued because we have an nhs and everything's free don't understand free to us. we don't understand the true cost of healthcare for our doesn't our animals. that doesn't mean it easier. it makes it any easier. >> paracetamol is the true >> paracetamol is not the true cost. that's the thing. you know , 38 paracetamol compared to £26. and i see that you're nodding away there. emma i'm sorry we lost you. we've got you back. and you were about to tell us about phoebe, your cat? >> yes. yeah. phoebe in a nutshell, it went on. i was back and forth to the vets. they

wanted me to have expensive scans and, you know, you know, like a gut instinct with your children. something's children. you know, something's not so i was crying by not right. so i was crying by the end. she was actually dying, and they said, well, we can and they said, oh, well, we can do operation on her, but do an operation on her, but we'll do some liver we'll have to do some liver tests then we'll to tests first. then we'll have to do this. her to an do this. i took her to an independent vet who took one look, showed me she was riddled with cancer and was with oral cancer and it was pushing her and he put pushing her eye out, and he put his. he put her to sleep within 10s. and my husband and i practically fell on him with gratitude we'd been gratitude because we'd been through with her. she through so much with her. she didn't the last nine didn't deserve the last nine days the hell. she should days of the hell. she should have to sleep as soon have been put to sleep as soon as we took her, because the original would have seen original vet would have seen that was all a cancer, that it was all a cancer, because now could diagnose all because now i could diagnose all the because i know what the cancer because i know what it looks like. it was a travesty of many of just trying to make many profit tax. profit before tax. >> you were saying is >> so what you were saying is that this other was looking, that this other vet was looking, probably what the outcome probably knew what the outcome was to be, but was trying was going to be, but was trying to make money by persuading you was going to be, but was trying to doike money by persuading you was going to be, but was trying to do procedures)y persuading you was going to be, but was trying to do procedures that rsuading you was going to be, but was trying to do procedures that were ing you to do procedures that were hugely because hugely expensive because you would anything to keep would have done anything to keep little with and jane.

little phoebe with you and jane. >> that's the same with >> i'm sure that's the same with you , jane. you, jane. >> i'm sure that's the same with you that you would do. you would do anything know it. do anything and they know it. i mean, and zoe was talking about, you know, how she doesn't believe vets over charge, but somebody over charging, whether it's for the services required or the medication involved. give us your views, jane . us your views, jane. >> yeah, well, they have really got you over a barrel because kind of emotional blackmail. because you are willing to pay. you're desperate to find really the money to be able to cover those costs. and, know, i do those costs. and, you know, i do agree with zoe in respect to, you know, these are, you know, these are professionals. they've got expertise and what got a lot of expertise and what they they're going to take really care of your pets. i really good care of your pets. i think we to value people in think we have to value people in their role, but we to make their role, but we have to make this all. and this affordable to all. and it is becoming care elite. it's is becoming vet care elite. it's becoming, you said earlier, becoming, as you said earlier, some kind of and it some kind of luxury. and it shouldn't way. and shouldn't be that way. and that's need work on guys. >> we've got to leave it there. but you know what the three of

arts and humanities humanities research council at the university of roehampton, has found that basically, shakespeare was our , shakespeare shakespeare was our, shakespeare has made theatre two pale male and stale. well, of course it blooming well has, hasn't it? because what else was around in shakespeare's time? actors were men . it was white and they were men. it was white and they were probably older as well . i mean, probably older as well. i mean, it's just ridiculous, but it's taxpayers money being funded on something that is just frankly ridiculous and that we don't need to be. it's more wokeness. do you know what i like? >> woke. yeah. >> woke. yeah. >> do you know, i would like to go and see a shakespeare's greatest two or greatest hits over two hours or so. was scene from macbeth, so. it was scene from macbeth, a scene from, high as you like it or whatever it happens to be. and but i'm not interested in the overall two and a half, three hours of. >> yeah, i think it depends. i mean, i what have you done? >> what have you. >> what have you. >> well, i years ago i played puckin >> well, i years ago i played puck in a midsummer night's dream. in fact, i regent's dream. in fact, i was regent's park open theatre. in fact, park open air theatre. in fact, i the best puck in the park i was the best puck in the park that year. and, it was, it was.

approaching 9:00. it's monday, the 25th of march. you are very welcome to breakfast with amy and isabel. >> very welcome from both of us, headunes >> very welcome from both of us, headlines on this monday morning are a boost to nuclear defences set to be announced as the threat of putin looms large . threat of putin looms large. >> and it's not just putin. the deputy prime minister, oliver dowden , is raising the alarm dowden, is raising the alarm over more chinese cyber attacks. a mps and peers are also a senior mps and peers are also being targeted . being targeted. >> yes, the government wants to talk about boosting our nuclear defences, but that's being largely overshadowed by china. the threat from china, hacking, etc. the government announcing consequences later. i'll bring you more shortly . you more shortly. >> thank you. katherine whitehall sources also fear the two nations could be behind the wave of slurs and conspiracies against the princess of wales on line. what's that about? it's a bid to destabilise the uk , apparently. >> hello. good morning. after a fairly quiet end to the weekend,

weather wise, i'm afraid the week ahead does look unsettled. once again. there'll be further spells of wind and rain at times, and i'll have all the details later. >> so here is our top story on this monday morning. we're with you right through until 930. the prime minister will declare new funding to secure the future of the uk's nuclear industry . the uk's nuclear industry. >> the prime minister hopes the announcement will create 40,000 new jobs by the end of the decade. earlier, we spoke to the minister for energy, security and net zero, bowie . and net zero, andrew bowie. >> we're to be creating >> we're going to be creating hundreds thousands of new hundreds of thousands of new high wage, high skilled jobs. the length and breadth the the length and breadth of the country, in places where country, many in places where high jobs are actually at a high wage jobs are actually at a premium. and that's why i'm so excited about the investment that making today that we are making today in sizewell hinkley point c, sizewell c and hinkley point c, and a third gigawatt scale project coming down the line after that, and our small modular reactor programme, this

is create a whole new is going to create a whole new range energy technologies range of energy technologies to support transition to become support our transition to become more energy secure and independent. but it is independent. but yes, it is about creating new jobs in parts of country where where they of the country where where they are needed . are desperately needed. >> well, this news comes today as the deputy prime minister, oliver dowden, is expected to tell parliament that beijing is behind a wave of cyber attacks on senior mps and peers. okay let's go back to our political correspondent, katherine forster. >> she's got all there is to know on this. catherine, tell us. >> us. >> yes. good morning eamonn and isabel. well, the government is very keen to talk nuclear today. nuclear defence and nuclear power. we know, of course, that, we need increased energy security after russia invaded ukraine. so a move for more nuclear reactors is also the next generation of nuclear submarines being built at barrow in furness. the hope altogether is for 40,000 new jobs as andrew

bowie just said. now some will say this is all a bit late . the say this is all a bit late. the conservative government have beenin conservative government have been in power for 14 years. nuclear reactors take a long time to build, to develop, but the government would say, well, the government would say, well, the world has changed. the threat has become greater. but today to a huge amount of focus on the threat from china . now, on the threat from china. now, back in the early coalition years , david cameron, now years, david cameron, now foreign secretary, of course, and george osborne, the then chancellor, used to talk about a golden age of relations with china. the red carpet was rolled out. but how times have changed because today, evidence has emerged that, chinese have tried to hack into dozens of mps and peers , accounts also that 40 peers, accounts also that 40 million people's details registered with the electoral

commission have been hacked by china too. so a real threat from china too. so a real threat from china too. so a real threat from china to our national security. now, some of the mps concerned, including sir iain duncan smith , including sir iain duncan smith, the former, leader of the conservative party and a really critical on china, are having a meeting this lunchtime. they're going to be holding a press conference later. and then deputy prime minister oliver dowden is going to make a statement talking about what sanctions means. they are going to bring in onto chinese officials. so a tougher line on china. but the conservative party has been quite conflicted in their approach to china over the last few days , years. the last few days, years. apologies. so it will be interesting to see what happens today. >> catherine, thanks very much indeed. >> catherine, thanks very much indeed . now we're going to be to indeed. now we're going to be to talking the winner of the apprentice 2022. next. her name is harpreet kaur, and she's going to be giving us advice on

how best to save our money. lots of concerns out there. high housing costs and prices going through the roof. inflation is coming down, but well, it's a hard time for anybody who's trying to save cash. so what are your top tips? good morning . your top tips? good morning. >> good morning. hi, yeah , i >> good morning. hi, yeah, i mean, i think first, just to acknowledge that it's a difficult time for everybody, you know, we've had a cost of living crisis and inflation keeps rising. and i think there's a lot of people in the uk that are feeling exactly the same where they are struggling to save, and that really affects their ability to deal with anything that crops up. and people don't have a retirement fund either. so from my perspective , there are things perspective, there are things thatis perspective, there are things that is the main thing is , is that is the main thing is, is that is the main thing is, is that we're looking at there are 11 million people in the country who, when it comes to saving , who, when it comes to saving, they are saving, but they have less than £1,000 in savings, which basically isn't going to be very good if you hit the

rocks . absolutely not. i mean, rocks. absolutely not. i mean, £1,000 nowadays, it's not really going to get you very far from my perspective. you know, i'm a business owner and there are quite a few principles that we like, little tips and tricks that we do as business owners that we do as business owners that i think could help people, you know, in their kind of daily lives. maybe just put some pennies the side, think my, pennies to the side, i think my, my top one is reviewing your daily expenses , this probably daily expenses, this probably seems like an absolute no brainer , but when you really brainer, but when you really look at the figures, if you save just £10 a day and cut something out that you probably isn't a necessity. so, for example, we all nip to a coffee shop, you grab your coffee, but then you probably grab a little snack as well. saving £10 a day will save you over 3500 pounds over the year by that one little sacrifice. and that will probably cover the cost of your rise in your mortgage, your rising , your electricity bills, rising, your electricity bills, but you've to extend it but you've got to extend it further . so, for example, further. so, for example, another quick one is if you go on your phone and you look at your app subscriptions, there's

a of sneaky apps these days, a lot of sneaky apps these days, which you sign up for a free trial, and then you roped trial, and then you get roped in. so you've got to take the time to review what you've time to sit, review what you've got, i promise you got, and i can promise you there'll be of things that there'll be lots of things that you cancel. i've it you can cancel. i've done it myself, harpreet. >> do, i have to say i >> i do, i do have to say i think your coffee idea is genius because i'm lucky i don't drink coffee. but isabel , how often do coffee. but isabel, how often do you go down the high street and you go down the high street and you see people spending that six and seven and £8 on a coffee, maybe twice a day? >> yeah, you do definitely. >> yeah, you do definitely. >> well, i look not every day because i'm lucky enough to get free coffee here at work. but if i'm not at work, i'll often treat myself a coffee. and treat myself to a coffee. and it is. feels like a treat, but is. it feels like a treat, but it adds up. and do sort of it adds up. and i do sort of feel guilty about it. yeah, but inoficed feel guilty about it. yeah, but i noticed one of your other tips is negotiate it. and i think is to negotiate it. and i think this something, as brits we this is something, as brits we are at, but i just give are terrible at, but i just give my own example. i'm getting new carpets stairs and my carpets on my stairs and my living had two carpet living room. we had two carpet fitters out and one carpet fitters out and one carpet fitter and i said to fitter came to us and i said to him, look, i've been told by my

friend can get a trade friend i can get a trade discount through her. can i use the discount through you? the trade discount through you? absolutely no negotiation at all to i felt so cheeky to be had. and i felt so cheeky for even trying to save a little bit money there and bit of money here and there and everywhere. that's put me bit of money here and there and eveeverere. that's put me bit of money here and there and eveever trying that's put me bit of money here and there and eveever trying to that's put me bit of money here and there and eveever trying to negotiate me off ever trying to negotiate again. >> so what do you say? they said no to you. >> they said no. they said, look, our prices are already competitive. >> well, i'll you, i'll >> well, i'll tell you, i'll tell this about carpets, tell you this about carpets, right? business is right? my family business is carpets i'll carpets and carpets and i'll tell the prices they tell you this, the prices they charge northern ireland charge in northern ireland compared london, like compared to london, it's like two planets. two different planets. >> someone from northern ireland. >> well, i honestly, you'd be better getting a team of carpet fitters from northern ireland or wolverhampton in hotel for putting them up in a hotel for a week and get into your house, you'd be quids. quids you'd still be quids. quids better with that carpet. better off with that carpet. look. sorry. quick one from you harpy. just goodbye, harpy. just say goodbye, i'm gonna have to agree with you. eamonn shop around. even eamonn always shop around. even if looking, you know, afar if it is looking, you know, afar to get the best deal. and you've got be cheeky, because what's got to be cheeky, because what's the going to the worst that's going to happen? person says no. and happen? the person says no. and you just when they do. >> yeah. yeah. >> yeah. yeah. >> would rather

>> what would you rather be embarrassed. would you rather be embarrassed. would you rather be embarrassed that money embarrassed or have that money in your bank. >> that's why she won the >> that's that's why she won the apprentice. that's she, apprentice. that's why she, that's does what she that's why she does what she does gets big bucks. does and gets the big bucks. appreciate it. harpreet. thank you much. in and see you very much. come in and see us sometime. >> thank you so much. definitely see you. you. see you. thank you. >> bye. bye bye. bye bye. >> bye bye. bye bye. bye bye. >> bye bye. bye bye. bye bye. >> up 9:30. britain's >> coming up 9:30. britain's newsroom andrew bev newsroom caught andrew and bev get bargain. newsroom caught andrew and bev getwithrgain. newsroom caught andrew and bev getwith usin. newsroom caught andrew and bev get with us they squeeze in so >> with us they squeeze in so much opinion and news for the price they charge just price they charge i just don't i just know. price they charge i just don't i justdon't know. we work very >> don't know. we work very hard. how are you? morning. very good. you two? very good. how are you two? very much. great yeah. what's much. yeah. great yeah. what's in morning? in store monday morning? >> looking at oliver >> well, we're looking at oliver dowden, talk to dowden, who's going to talk to the about how the comments today about how china interfered the china has interfered with the electoral but on the electoral commission. but on the back that course, back of that of course, telegraph front page today saying russia, are telegraph front page today sayirpart russia, are telegraph front page today sayirpart of russia, are telegraph front page today sayirpart of theissia, are telegraph front page today sayirpart of the deliberate are they part of the deliberate subverting opinion the subverting of opinion about the prince of wales? course they prince of wales? of course they are. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> they sense doesn't it. >> they want sense doesn't it. >> they want sense doesn't it. >> and they to whip >> yeah. and they want to whip up the controversy so that our government clamp down on us with further government clamp down on us with fu|things we can and can't say of things we can and can't say online. so i do think we have to

that it really is very unsettling. it like such a unsettling. it seems like such a small doesn't it, that, small thing, doesn't it, that, you know, a hostile country might as an opportunity might see this as an opportunity to britain. but when to destabilise britain. but when you frankly, crazy way you see, frankly, the crazy way that people responding that people were responding to the all of the the princess and all of the rumours her health, it did rumours about her health, it did destabilise the nation a time destabilise the nation at a time when can't really afford to when we can't really afford to be destabilised. >> also, i suppose katie , >> well, also, i suppose katie, the truth is that even the truth about the princess of wales, when revealed on friday about the princess of wales, when aboutvealed on friday about the princess of wales, when about her.ed on friday about the princess of wales, when about her ownn friday about the princess of wales, when about her own healthy about the princess of wales, when about her own health that night about her own health that was destabilising. mean , i was was destabilising. i mean, i was upset, a lump my throat. upset, had a lump in my throat. i that you were emotional i know that you were emotional as well. a of people have as well. a lot of people have been talking about how emotional that made i suppose that has made them. i suppose they're tapping into that, they're just tapping into that, aren't yes. they're just tapping into that, areiand yes. they're just tapping into that, areiand even’es. they're just tapping into that, areiand even after that, that >> and even after that, that sort revictimization the sort of revictimization of the princess, or princess, certain bots or accounts there speculating accounts out there speculating that it was i, i mean, they deliberately had it filmed by bbc studios to avoid any of that sort of crazy conspiracy theory. and yet it continued. and actually another narrative against the prince of wales, which i thought was terribly unfair because he wasn't sitting by in video message, by her in that video message, which intentionally wanted which she'd intentionally wanted

to you have to to do by herself. you have to hope that the common sense of the british public will prevail in all of this. >> she's very articulate, she's very camera friendly , and i very camera friendly, and i would have thought cameron just seen she there. yeah, seen what she did there. yeah, she certainly is. seen what she did there. yeah, sheand ainly is. seen what she did there. yeah, sheand iinly is. seen what she did there. yeah, sheand i think. seen what she did there. yeah, sheand i think there's a danger >> and i think there's a danger that we oxygen to all these that we give oxygen to all these bots accounts spreading this misinformation online. the misinformation online. and the monarchy of our monarchy is the symbol of our nation, it? and if the nation, isn't it? and if the monarchy destabilised and monarchy is destabilised and then the nation. that's then so is the nation. that's kind what inference was kind of what the inference was from whitehall sources from these whitehall sources speaking to the telegraph. but there of for this speaking to the telegraph. but th�*aa of for this speaking to the telegraph. but th�*a company)f for this speaking to the telegraph. but th�*a company that for this speaking to the telegraph. but th�*a company that analysess a, a company that analyses social media data looked at meghan markle actually between 2018 and 2019, and they found a thousand russian bots accounts, which were all heavily linked, tweeted 2.5 million times about meghan markle within a six month period. so there is form for this. and in the past, both prince william and prince harry have publicly said that social media companies need to do more to tackle this kind of disinformation because it is very dangerous. >> and just how destabilising do

you this crisis is that you think this crisis is that the royals are facing at the moment? lot of people have moment? a lot of people have been saying over the weekend that challenge that actually the challenge they're greater they're facing is almost greater than the passing of crown, than the passing of the crown, from queen the late from from the to queen the late queen to now our current king. do think there's truth do you think there's some truth in that? >> i think royal sources >> well, i think royal sources are this a bit of are saying this is a bit of a blip rather than an actual crisis. ailsa anderson, the former queen elizabeth ii's former queen elizabeth ii's former private , press secretary, former private, press secretary, was on camilla was saying on camilla tominey show yesterday that it's very much just a blip because it's not an abdication or something like that. it's just a little bit of a health scare. they're getting treated and they'll be back on their feet soon, cameron saying little bit of a health saying a little bit of a health scare there. you see, i know i'm at don't know what at the stage. i don't know what you're isabel. think? you're like, isabel. you think? well, you mention what well, what can you mention what can not can you even mention can you not can you even mention if positive? but i'd just if it's positive? but i'd just like say that all medical like to say that all medical people i've spoken to people that i've spoken to privately, are saying that she's in very place now. in a very good place now. >> certainly she's going >> well, certainly she's going to getting the possible to be getting the best possible medical attention. that goes

without think her without saying, i think her message, which moved so many of us, was one that was filled with hope and optimism and that really came across. she is a very positive person. she's incredibly strong. she will be really drawing on all of that strength. she's got three little children to look after, and a big job to do one day. but i think when you look at this was an incidental finding, what they call they weren't looking call it, they weren't looking for therefore that for this and therefore that suggests whatever they suggests that whatever they found an early stage . and found was in an early stage. and that word preventative treatment, think is really treatment, i think is really important . another word is important. another word is adjuvant chemotherapy, where important. another word is adj|used chemotherapy, where important. another word is adj|used to emotherapy, where important. another word is adj|used to basically )y, where important. another word is adj|used to basically whip1ere it's used to basically whip around the body and blitz any little cells that may be there that aren't necessarily they got what they needed to get . she's what they needed to get. she's she's saying i'm well, she probably great at the probably feels great at the moment. don't know how she's going to respond to this treatment. i think we can treatment. but i think we can feel positive. feel very positive. >> looks fine. >> she looks fine. >> she looks fine. >> looks she great. >> she looks she looks great. she tired. looks like she looks tired. she looks like she been through the mill she has been through the mill because has had clearly because she has she had clearly very serious major surgery that's going to it out of

that's going to knock it out of the fittest 40 something. and she was incredibly fit and healthy begin healthy to begin with. >> i feel like, katie, we have to mention prince william in all of me, of this because goodness me, he's an awful he's going through an awful lot. he's the weight of the world he's got the weight of the world on his shoulders. he's not in touch with his brother anymore, who, through who, of course, he went through a traumas with, and a lot of his traumas with, and now he's worried about his dad and wife and his to look and his wife and his to look after the kids well. after the kids as well. >> and with that sort of weight of heavily of monarchy resting heavily on him, the queen him, i mean, between the queen and the prince of they and the prince of wales, they are carrying the lion's are carrying out the lion's shares duties. i mean, shares of duties. i mean, they're sort of two they're the sort of two principals that public gaze principals that the public gaze will in the absence of the will go to in the absence of the king and the princess of wales. but, right as but, he's got you're right as well. his well. he has lost his relationship with his brother, but actually a much but he's actually got a much stronger relationship with his father relationship father and a great relationship with his wife. and he will be okay. he's resilient, but okay. he's very resilient, but it's not easy. >> let's talk the >> let's talk about the relationship between the princess the king, princess of wales and the king, they a together after they had a meal together after she this message last she recorded this message last week . week. >> yeah. the sun reporting that they had a private lunch at

windsor castle very rare for just the two of them to sit down in a room together and the sun was reporting that the king was actually very emotional following this lunch. and i think that just does show the strength of their relationship. and seems to be and also, the sun seems to be suggesting that king sees suggesting that the king sees the basically the princess as basically a daughter of his, a daughter, a daughter of his, a daughter, a daughter in law. yeah. and it's just really sad. >> yeah, really, really sad, well, thank you both very much, katie and cameron, for this morning, bringing us to date morning, bringing us up to date on all these things. well, so many royal matters being told. we've bit longer, we've got a bit longer, actually. so there's plenty more we about all of we can talk about in all of this. and katie, we were talking, just a little bit earlier the middletons in earlier about the middletons in all and where prince all of this and where prince william lost his william has lost his relationship brother. william has lost his rela can;hip brother. william has lost his rela can be» brother. william has lost his rela can be certain brother. william has lost his rela can be certain thatyther. william has lost his rela can be certain that james you can be certain that james and and the middleton and pippa and the middleton parents be supporting him parents will be supporting him as well as, course, the king as well as, of course, the king and him, and queen supporting him, supporting catherine, supporting the children. supporting catherine, supporting the i hildren. supporting catherine, supporting the i hildre most don't >> i think most people don't realise how pivotal the middletons how crucial middletons are and how crucial they the scenes , they are behind the scenes, they're amazing family, so they're an amazing family, so would she be spending time with
